: Our Presidential Candidate.

Whosever name the National Democratic
Convention may present as the Presidential
candidate we shall most cheerfully support
as the representative man of those great
cardinal principles which have controlled
the action of the Democratic party since
the days of JEFFERSON, and upon the
maintenance of which in the future the sta
bility and permanence of a Constitutional
Government depends. While Democrats
in different sections of the United States
are in full accord ON the subject of the
principles and policy of the party, there
must necessarily be difference Of opinion
inrelation to the man best fitted for the Office
of President, and it is becoming ane pros
per for them to indicate at local public
meetings or through the press their prefer
ence before their delegates in convention
are called upon to vote for such candidates
Our fist choice and we believe the first
choice of nine tenths of the Democrats of
the State for Presidential candidate is
HoRATIo SEYMOUR, of New York, and we
hope the Convention will tender him the
nomination and that he Way be prevailed
upon to accept. With SEYMOUR for Pres
ident the chief characteristics of his ad-
ministration would be ability, honesty and
economy-things that the people have not
witnessed for many years. We are graft
fed to know that our delegate to the Ma
tonal Convention, Judge REED, is an en-
thusiastic admirer of Gov. SEYMOUR and
most anxious for his nomination-he says
he has known MIR. SEYMOUR personally
tor many years, and does not know of a
purer man, or one in every respect better
fitted for President of the United States.

The Impeachment Dates.

The dates of the various stages of so i'm
portant an event in our history as the i'm
parchment and trial of the President of
the United States for high crimes and mis-
demeanors may be worth preserving, and
we therefore give them. The House of
Representatives voted to impeach Presi-
dent JOHNSON Monday, February "a, 1868.
The fact was announced by Committee of
the House at the bar of the Senate Tues
day, February 25. Articles of impeach-
ment were adopted by the House Monday,
March 2. Additional articles we're adopt
ed Tuesday, March 8. The series of arti-

trial of the President. Chief Justice CHASE
in the chair, Thursday, March 5. The sum-
mons requiring the President to appear
and answer the articles of impeachment

REAL ESTATE IN NEW YoRK.-In 1926
the value of real estate on Manhattan Is
land was $64, SO4 $50; to-day it is about
$475, 100000. Forty years ago the annual
real estate sales in the city of New York
amounted to hundreds of thousands of dol
lars; now it is hundreds of millions. Ii
any argument is necessary to prove the al
most headlong manner in which capitalists
and small operators have traded in houses
and lauds this year, 1t may be found in the
summary of real estate business for April.
The recorded transfers in New York city
last month amounted to $23, 753, 1873, and
in Brooklyn to S7,6IO,Ol7; S55,
worth OF real estate, or about II per cent.
OF the total valuation in New York city, has
ch anged hands since January in Brook

been $l7,s55, l43. These figures need 40

An Irish paper says "These we're, let
it be remembered, Bishops without con-
gregations, shepherds without sheep. We
have seen their churches, their parson-
ages and their globes; indications of opus
lence and luxury, amid wretched cabins
and squalid misery, with peasantry gath
ering seaweed to boil with and salt their
potatoes, wondering, as we contemplated
the scene, how long we should submit to
the establishment of church-to say moth
ing of its support-in which we did not be.

HSy. A somewhat ludicrous but serions

tJ- A somewhat ludicrous but serious
ARRAY in the shape of duel occurred at
Newtonia, in Newton county, No., recent.
E, between an Indian and negro. Ii
seems that the Indian asked the privilege
OF looking at pistol IN possession of the
negro. The latter refused, whereupon the
former challenged him to ''shoot 1T out"
with him. The negro agreed, and the In
dian measured off ten PAGES, wheeled, gave
the word to fire and got the first shot.
wounding the negro in the stomach.
Three shots were fired by the Indian and
two by the negro. Both parties disclaimed
having been angry, and the negro probably
thought that the Indian was merely joking,
until he fired. Physicians were unable to
find the ball, and it is thought the negro
will not recover. The Indian was taken to
Neosho and lodged in Jail.

FOND DU LAC.-The Fond du Lac Com
naon,0ealth states that the Exchange Bank,
of K. A. Darling & Co., of Fond du Lac,
has stopped payment, with about $4,000
due depcsitors, and little cash on hand.
The embarrassed condition of the institu-
ton is mainly owing to bad debts made
when the bank was bank of issue, under
the banking law Of the State The Com.
nsonwealh says: ''If sound financial max
inns had been adhered to, the institution
should have then been wound up entirely,
the assets converted, and its debts paid,
and surplus divided. But Mr.. Darling was
anxious to continue the business, and have
the prestige of the old Bank as so much
capital stock in the way of credit, to do
business with and so he took the respon-
sibility of paying certain debts with GER
tain assets, not easily convertible, and the
Exchange Bank as a corporation went out,
and the Banking business continued in the
name of Darling & Co. The debts as
sumed, we understand, have been paid, but
the assets that have not been converted,
estimated to be worth something like $20,-
900, are still in the Bank" The prospects
for depositors are not brilliant, though Mr..
Darling has property which, though en-
numbered, it is hoped will realize some
thing for them. The case, for some of the
depositors, is pretty hard. The Re
porter says a large amount of wheat is
coming into market The receipts, last
week, amounted to 10000 bushels.

No sound was heard of any exploding of the

this was because her room was up stairs
and somewhat removed from the rest of
the inmates of her boarding house.
The one barrel pistol with which she.com

months ago in a store in this place, and she
generally carried it on her person. 1t was
