BAGeERs IN TEE AsCENDBNOY.
We stepped into the convention Of The
unterrifed" about ten o'clock last night,
aud found that recess he'd been taken for
the purpose Of aseertaining if anything
else were to be done. We learned that The
business for which this august body I'D
been called together was completed, to wit:
the election Of delegates to the national
Democratic convention to be held in New
York on the fourth Of July next.
One.halt Of the delegates elected are we'll
known carpet-baggers. Among those
we consider worthy of mention is, first,
General J. B. steedmaB, collector Of inter
nal revenue for the first district of this
state, who only had to make very short
speech to the convention 10 secure ms eiee-
tion. The general has determined to move
his carpet-bag on the fifteenth Of April.
The next on the list is the Hon. Felix Nc
Closkey, Of New York, who recently ar
rived here with his carpet-bag, and who has
devoted his time 70 laying wires to obtain
Che honorable position. We recommend
Mr.. McCloskey to the Democracy Of
this state, for he is known from
Maine to the Rio Grande as a leading
fugleman among the anterrifea." He is
one Of the abless schemers who ever left
New York. With eteedman and McGlos-
key 1--WE wonld recommend Moses Bates,
from Massachusetts, as district delegate) as
leaders Of that class Of politicians who op.
pose reconstruction, we think their cause
as safe as in any other hands. Their ear
pet-bags are well filled, andsbey are eapa-
Bile Of bagging the whole Democracy.

SIBERIA appears to be the great source
Of the worlds supply Of ivory. New
Siberia and the Isle Of Lakon arc for
the most part only an agglomeration Of
sand, ice and elephants teeth. At
every tempest the sea casts ashore fresh
heaps of mammoths' tusks, and the in
habitants are able to drive n profitable
trade in tbs fossil ivory thrown up by
the waves. During the Summer innum-
erablc ishermen's barks direct their
course to this isle Of bones, and in Win
ter immense caravans take tho same
route, all tho conveys drawn by dogs,
returning charged with tho tusks of the
mammoth, each weighing from one hun
dred and fifty to two hundred pounds.
The fossil ivory thus obtained from the
frozen North is imported into China and
Europe, whence it is employed for the
same purpose as ordinary ivory furn-
ished by the elephant and hippotamus
of Asia and Africa. The isle Of bonc s
has served Us O quarry Of this valuable
material for export to China for five
hundred years; and it has been exported
to Europe for upward of n hundred
years. But the supply from these
strange mines remains undiminishcd.
What a number Of accumulated genera
tions does not those ~profusion of bones
and tusks imply!

Grant is quoted in favor of oil opinions,
but no one believes that he ever lets
slip a word on politics. Yet he
cordially receives everybody who visits
him, though the efforts ut "puming"
are unavatling. To n Southern editor,
who recently stated that he was in favor
of him for President, and who besaught
him to tell him what to say when he
returned home to his paper, tho reticent
General replied: "Say nothing; l want
nothing said" Mr.. Ben. Wade, who,
it appears, has recently been ineffec-
tually trying the pumping process on
Grant, says: al never could get any
thing out of him. AS quick as I'd talk
politics, he talk horses; and he could
talk hours on the subject without get
ting tired" Grant is evidently too
much for the present race Of American
politicians, and will probably "talk
horses" to all of them.
