Tbe ConventIon and I,s DoIngs.

The proceedings of the Sth of January
State Convention, as furnished by The
STATESMAN, are transferred to our columns
to-day. We know that they are looked for
with anxiety by our readers, and will be
perused with deep interest. The ticket, as
a whole, has rarely been equalled in the
amount of talent, intelligence and charac-
ter which it presents. OF the nominee for
Governor, it is scarcely necessary to speak.
He is gentleman of commanding talents,
and as jurist stands in the fore front OF
his profession. Twenty years ago, whilst
quite young man, he was sent to Con-
gress from the ChilIicothe District, notwith-
Standing the existence of a decided Wing
majority within its limits. He declined a
reelection; but in 1851, at the first choice
of Judges by the people, he was placed
on the Supreme Bench by vote ex-
ceeding that of his party strength
Few men combine to a greater degree the
attachments of the scholar, orator, jurist aud
statesman. In his efforts on the stump, he
has ever been most happy and effective, and
in the coming campaign the people,
wherever he may speak, will feel rare salts
faction in listening to his powerful appeals.
OF the other gentlemen on the ticket, we
will take another occasion to speak in de-
tall OF the nominee for Public Works,
Arthur Hughes, Esq, of this city, we may
not delay in saying that his selection did
credit to the Judgment of the Convention.
Mr.. Hughes is one of our oldest CONNER
cial men, has had large business experience
with canals, knows their history and re-
quirements, and is able. to render the State
good service.
" Our ticket is now in the field. The plat
form of the party has been presented, and
the Democrats of every township and
school district in the State, should feel that
the time for organization has already arriv-
ed. Let them see to it at once that a good
Democratic newspaper is weekly visitor
to the house OF every Democrat in their
limits. Than this, there is no more effect
tion. Let this truth be remembered and
acted upon.-Pldin Dealer.

The Cincinnati Commercial copies from the
Plain Dealer an editorial under the above
caption, credits it to The STATESMAN, and
then asserts that the Platform adopted by
the Democratic State Convention on the
9Th is an affirmation of the Kentucky reso-
luton, Notwithstanding Mr.. CoRRY was not
aware it did so. There are Republican
journals in the State which would feel in
suited II less penetration and Intelligence
were attributed to them than is arrogated
by the Commercial, that claim that the DEM
ocratic State Convention did repudiate the
Kentucky resolution. In view of the man
ner in which the minds Of Republican edi-
tors are store up'' by the doings of the
Democratic State Convention-its nominees
and Platform-it would be well enough for
them to meet in Convention for the pur-
pose OF coming to common understand
ing about the matter.

The sth az Wooster.

The Democracy of Wayne county most
magnificently celebrated the 9Th at Woos-
ter. The festival was prepared by the
Democratic ladies, and by dark Francis
Hall was filled and crowded with Demo-
cratic men and women from all parts OF
the county. Responses were made to toasts
by C. G. PARSONS, Esq, Hon. GEO. Rex,
DIR. L. FIREsToNE, S. B. EAsoN, Esq, JOHN
McSwEENEY, Esq, and IIEMUEL JErPRIEs,
Esq. The Democrat in its report of the fes-
tivities says: .f.,gat sJo1r,il q.
'sBetween the responses of Messrs. Nc
Sweeney and Jeffries the President an
nounced that the news had just been re-
ceived from Columbus that Hon. A. q.
Thurman had been nominated by the De-
moeracy of Ohio as their candidate for
Governor. Loud bursts of applause greeted
the announcement and three hearty cheers
were given for the nominee" I
The speeches being over at about mid
night, the hall was cleared for dancing,
and soon hundreds were tripping it gaily
on the light fantastic toe. ri .5t 'a

Murdered.

Some time ago an Irishman familiarly
known among his comrades by the name
of Tommy" was engaged on the street
railroad track, and received wages at the
rate of $l.5O per day. Tommy was under
the impression that he could better his for
tune by going down the, Ohio river. In
accordance with this resolution, he left his
family in this city and started to hunt his
fortune, andword arrivedlast Saturday that
he had got into difficulty with some
boatman on the river and that during the
alteration he askiiled.l sWeareunder the
impression that his name is Thomas Armed.
Hisfamily resides on North Public Lane,
in the neighborhOod Of the National Hotel.

The Fire.

The frame row of buildings on Wyandot
avenue, from the brick building of Ruth
Bros, adjoining the pOstoffice, to Mr.. Salts
mans property, was destroyed by fire early
this morning. The fire was discovered
about two o'clock, and in very short space
of time the buildings of Messrs. Ayres,
Bowman and Stein were completely de-
stroyed. The building of Ruth g. Bro. was
somewhat damaged, aud also their goods,
which were carried into the street. The
roof of Mr.. Saltsmanssmokehouse was de-
stroyed. The following gentlemen occu-
pied the buildings: A. Black, Dry Goods
Merchant, insured. NJ. Enrich, Clothing
Merchant, insured. Sloan & Rummell,
Photograph Gallery, no insurance. L.
Bowman, Furniture Wareroom, no insur-
ance. G. V. Stein, Saloon aud dwelling,
insured only to the amount OF $500. The

Gan and tho POLICE.

, We have heard any amount Of dissatis-
faction expressed lately by the citizens of
Columbus, in regard to the miserable light
furnished by the gas lamps of the city, and
a disposition was shown to put the blame
upon the police Of the city.
This is all wrong-the fault lies with
the gas company, who failed to prop
erly secure the pipes from freezing in case
of extreme cold weather. The policemen
on night duty have promptly notified the
gas company, and hereafter the citizens
will know who to blame. 81 ~ - q

Passing away

, The very excellent sleighing we have en-
joyed for the past week, like all things
earthly, gives symptoms of speedy decay.
On Saturday night it commenced to snow,
butbefore morning it turned into freezing,
sleeting rain, and yesterday morning the
streets of our city were In glare of ice
and our shade trees presented the appear
ance Of having been ladened with spark
ling diamonds during the dark and silent
watches Of the night. The sun which had
been hidden by dark clouds In the morning,
broke forth in all its splendor towards noon,
and soon turned the sparkling icicles to
drops of water-softened the snow, and as
we write the white covering of earth which
greeted our eyes this morning is fast pass
ing away--and with it the merry Jingle Of
sleigh bells. 'n' W

A preparatory caucus to the regular cau-
Gus was held1at the rooms of Col. FoRNEY
at the State Capitol House, Harrisburg,
Pa, on the evening of the 10th, of the can
dIdates and their friends opposed to the
nomination of SIMON CAMERoN to the
United States Senate. Atthiscaucus Gen
eral FISHER, THADDEUs STEVENS, Governor
CURTIN, Col. LEMUEL TODD, Hon. GALUsHA
A. Grow, Col. FoRNEY, Mr.. PENNYPAcKER'
and Hon. Il. BILMNeFELT made short adj
dresses, concurring in deprecating the
nomination aud election of CAMERON 1as
"the worst calamity that could befall the
State;" that cit would be dishonor, not
only to the State, but to every member OF
the Republican party;" that "no infilc.
ton would give to the great Union organi-.
zation more fatal, if not mortal, wound
MIR. STEVENS said that last fall, "when
the election was over, he took occasion to
count, with an intimate friend of one OF
the prominent candidates Che meant Cen
eral CAMERON himselD, aud nineteen votes
were all lie claimed, and that the number
for General CAMERON now is whatever he
chooses to put it," This statement con-
tanned the covert charge that CAMERON
had bought up the requisite number to
nominate and elect him. How true the
charge is we know not; but If true 1t
shows lamentable state of depravity ex-
isting in the Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania, and is by no means complimentary
to an organization vaunting immaculate
purity. In quarters of commanding in
fluence in Pennsylvania, the nomination Of
CAMERON is denounced as "a violation Of
public sentiment and public decency" that
has never had its equal in the State. y ,
Very certain it is that had the people OF
that State elected majority of Democrats
to the Legislature, they would not have
inflicted upon the State any such dishonor.
And it is equally certain if the people want
to restore tranquility and prosperity to the
country and something of political virtue
to high political places, it will first be
necessary for them to put the Democratic
party in power. .'H'b '2"HF. q 'uj I7

' The Cleveland Leader, the leading Radical
journal of Northern Ohio, says: .
"Whatever may have been its remissness
and cowardice in the past, the Republican
party is now, boldly and bravely avowed,
an equal suffrage party. 1t Is for equal
suffrage In the District of Columbia. 1t is
for equal suffrage in the territories OF the
United States. tits for equal suffrage as a
fundamental and perpetual condition of the
admission of new States to the Union. 1t
is marching on, with an advance that knows
no turning back, to making equal suffrage
the foundation stone of Southern Recon-
struction. Republicans Of Ohio, are you IN
line a0ith your comrades throughout the land :
wiz alou do your duty in making Ohio an equal
suffrage State like Colorado and NebrGskd,
IKE Ge District Of Columbia, like Louisiana
and South Carolina as they are TO be ?ii 5000.

Pleased.

A large number of Democratic editors
were in attendance on the Democratic
State Convention on the 9Th. Through
their respective papers they testify to the
same thing touching the Convention-that
it was one of the largest and ablest ever
held in the State, and the Ticket and Plat
form are such as to give them the utmost
satisfaction. Evidently, never were the
Democratic press Of Ohio more determined
to prosecute = campaign with zeal and
vigor.

DecIsion ON she Test Oath.

+ To-day, doubtless, the Supreme Court Of
the United States win pronounce its decis-
lion on the constitutionality of the Test
Oath ss applicable to lawyers prac-
-tieing at It's bar. 1t is stated that
the Court has SO far relaxed It's rules
as to permit reporters to take ample notes
of its decision. This is done for the pur-
pose of gratifying public anxiety on the
subject. If the public generally expect
that the Court will decide the oath uncon-
stitutional we think they will not be disap-
nointed,
