as We have said above, are In favor Of
such ticket; but the history Of former
conventions warns us that VIC canno,
predict with certainty who the choice
of the present Convention is to be. II
may be some one, whose name has not

President Pierce. The enthusiasm

The Senatorial Contest.

This matter is not yet determined
The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial speaks of it as follows:
The Senate Committee on Privi,
leges and elections is still in trouble
over the contested seat from the
Eighth Senatorial District. Five of
the seven members are Democrats,
anxious to find reasons for unseating
Capt Jones, who was elected by a
majority of the votes. The only
way of doing this, is to rule
out the testimony taken by Jones,
upon due notice to Onderdonk, his
Democratic competitor, for some in
formality, which did not prevent
Onderdonk from being present at
the taking of such testimony. The
testimony, if recorded, will show that
even allowing the deduction for the
visible admiXture of votes given,
Jones has considerable majority of
the legal votes cast in the District
Precedents are against Onderdonk,
but power to ovcrturn them is claim
ed for the committee and the majori-
ty in the Senate.

E- In 1861 the State of OHIO
needed money to equip its troops,
who had volunteered to put down the
Shareholders rebellion, and bill was
introduced in the Legislature to is
sue bonds for that purpose to the
amount of S750,U0O This bill was
passed and voted for by most of the
democrats then members of that
body. The law specially provided
that these bonds should not be taxed
by the State Democrats, in 1861,
voted that these bonds should not be
taxed in 1867 they are for violating
the good faith of that contract. and
now propose to tax these bonds.
How much honesty is there in such a
proceeding? A party that will vote
to borrow money upon the issue Of
bonds, which, by the very terms OF
their issue and existance, are exempt
from taxation, and then, after it has
