last night were the Quickstep, TO Cairo;

charged a large amount OF freight here 49,.
The Indiana had among her freight 100
boxes Of oranges and 100 boxes OF lemons
for Chicago. Being unable to reship them
on reasonable terms from Cairo, she
brought them here, whence they win be
sent through with dispatch, leaving the
Indiana a nice margin. IL would be a lit
tie strange If Evansville should become
the reshipping point for Chicago as well as
for New York and the other Eastern cities.
I'VE had the pleasure of meeting Can't
Washington, the distinguished wharf boat
proprietor and steamboat agent OF Cairo.
in the city, yesterday Capt Hendricks,
of Cairo, was IN the city, on Saturday, and
was highly delighted with viewing the
mountainous country on which Evansville
is built...,.,...The LeWellIn arrived late last
night with good trip. She leaves on
Wednesday. Belle Lee had not
arrived at midnight. The stfader left her
at Owensboro, where she was taking 400
hogsheads Of tobacco. She win go out OF
the Ohio full. This is right, as the Belle
Lee is a regular Ohio River boat, and
naeansto stay here.

Republican Nom,nsea

The republican representative convention
met at La Sale last week, and did up thei,
business by nominating Frank Corwin and
VIM. Strawn for reelection, but dropped Mr..
Elmer Baldwin, putting DR.. Samuel Wiley, OF
Earlvllle, on the ticket in his place: Mr.,
Baldwin went into the convention confident
OF receiving the nomination for Senator. but
fell short vote or two; then, like the man
that asked Gen. jackson for the mission 10
England, but not being able to get that, was
willing to take pair of his old boots, Mr..
Baldwin was willing to take nomination for
the House; but was again left out in the cold.
They did say, during the session of the last
legislature, that the most stupidity honest man
in the House was Mr.. Baldwin. In the wav
of getting him into dishonest rings, there was
positively no doing anything with him: so
that, towards the last, the plunderers wholly
ceased to approach him, counting generally on
his stumbling into their traps rather than
attempting to buy or lead him in. To this
singularf REGULARITY of Mr.. Baldwin we pre-
sumo he is mainly indebted for his poor sue
cess before the republican conventions last
week.

Senatorial Convention

The proceedings of the Democratic Senate.
rial Convention which met in this city on
Thursday are published in another column
1t will be seen that the choiceof candidate
has fallen on julius AVERY, ESQ.,, OF this city.
No name could have been presented to the
Democracy of this county, in connection with
the Office of Senator, that would have proved
more acceptable than that of Mr.. Avery. ( He
is not only gentleman of splendid legal at
tainments, a ready and able speaker, but a man
of sound, substantial good common sense-of
honesty and true worth. Although man
upon whom the Democracy have always relied,
in the hour Of trial, as wheel horse, he has
never pushed himself forward-has never ask
ed for Office, and never held anyo flee except
that OF Mayor of our city, which was forced
upon him.
1t is not, however. to reward past political
fidelity that the nomination of Mr.. Avery was
urged, for he never asked anything of the
sort; but because the Democracy desired to
present to the people of the district man for
whom they could ask their votes with conf
dence, as for a man Of marked ability, of in
tegrity and great personal worth. We doubt
whether another man in this district can be
named, of equal ability, more purely unselfish
than Julius Avery.
