The Thoroughbred Sale.

Inc thoroughbred sale.
The. sale of blooded stock be-
longing to Mr.. John S. Hosains,
which was advertised in the OBJ
SERVER, drew a crowd of intelli-
gent gentlemen, who appreciated
the Importance of infusing fine
blood into the tenants of our pas
lures. We are glad to see this
spirit manifested, and think that
credit is due to Mr. Hoskins for
bis influence and efforts to aid in
peopling this county with fine
stock. We have been told that it
is his intention TO continue the i'm.
portation of blooded Kentucky
growth. We append a list of the
prices paid at the sale, and add
that some of the animals, we are
told, went below their value:

COMMERCIAL COSyKSTIoSs"-A PLAYED
OUT lSsTITUTIOS.-The Keokuk Convention
fs supposed to be IN session this week TO
"resolye" the improvement of the Mississippi
RIVER, by Congress. II is also expected by s..
Louis that the Convention will remove the
capital TO that city-by resolution also. Thus
Tar nothing has been heard from the Con yeR-
ton. This Commercial Con vention business
IS about played out. The Cincinnati sstte
asks, rather pertinenuy. what they are good
fort
few months ago there was a Commercial
Convention at Memphis; close upon its heels
another at New Orleans this week there Is 10
oe one al keokuk, Iowa, and next month an
otner at atiLouisville. These conventions usu-
ally last three days. This time is about equally
divided between business and pIeasuse. Usu.
ally dozen important questions are brought
before each convention, not more than one of
which could be intelligently discussed within
the time the delegates have for the disposition
OF sill the propositions. OF course, therefore
the conventions accomplish nothing. They
are not even successful Ak grinders, for the
reason there are too many axes to be ground /;
and at this time Ii would be difficult to find auy
body able TO tell what any Of the conventions
held within the year 1859 did or attem pied TO do
Delegates recollect, no doubt, that they were
handsomely entertsined and had good time
generally, but as for business there was not
much Of II, and that little has been almost for.
gotten of course, under these circumstances,
people are getting tired Of attending such con.
yentions as delegates. The Gazette says that
the Cincinnati Chamber Of Commerce has been
put to the strait of advertising for delegates
and the Governor Of the State announces that
ne Will commission anybody that desires to
attend These movements show that it Is diff
cult 10 md men to give their time ana money
ior the honor Of attending an Ak grinding con-

many great thiags in a little while, and sue

Baltimore papers are still full of the testimony
accompanying the report Of the City Hall IN

p oints are presented by the committee: l. ina
tue contracts tor laying brick, awardsd to Mr..
Henry Loane; for furnishing brick, award.
cd to Mess-s. F. & II. Weir, and for cement,
awarded to c. II Nicolas, were not awarded to
the lowest bidders. 2. That contracts have
been awarded "for all the brick to be used in
the buiIdirg, and also FOR all the necessary
Lumber. at prices much higher than even the
present prices" That, "contrary to the let
ter and spirit of the contract awarded to
Messrs SWAIN & Banks for lumber, to be de-
lvered thoroughly seasoned-fres of charge
at the City Hall or al the shop OF the contractor
for the carpenters work" the committee have
received from the contractors q large quantity
OF green lumber, al the contract price for sea.

amount paid being $4,000, it being In eyiden ce
tha. this identical lot was sold to Messrs S vain
q Banks by johnson & Dobsor, OF Baltimore,
at $50 per thousand feet Other expenses add
ed Will run up the cost to 500 per thousand feet,
tue result Of ga degree OF favoritism to wards a
contractor which should not be tolerated, !" say
the committee. .. That, contrary to the terms
and specifications OF the contract for the mar
bic work, awarded to NJ. A. Sisson & Co., the
committee have been in the habit OF paving
these contractors not only for work set in the
building, but for stone on the ground. The
amount thus paid in excess OF what should
have been pa is SCOTS. S. That the build.
ing committee have held all their business
meetings with closed doors, permitting no one
to be present at the opening of the bids except
themselves and their secretary, and refusing
even to parties interested the privilege Of ex.
smining the successful bids. 6. That, ty san
objectionable neglect Of duty" the superin.
tendent, whose duty it Is to See that all the ma
terial is delivereed at the building in proper
quantities and condition, .'has permitted Mr..
Nicolai to deceive him and deliver material
grossly deficient In quantity"
The Sun says: "All the foregoing points of
the committee appear to be fully sustained by
the testimony. and ought to be conclusive with
the council in favor Of the adoption of the
committees recommendations" to discharee
the building committee and appoint q new one;
and adds: "The City Hall has not risen above
the height of the basement, and the payments
already made amount to S323979.77 We do
not know how much more may be due. Al
that rate, and under present management how
many millions will it cost!"
