State NomIn stions.

Next Wednesday, the first day Of Sep
tember, the Republicans of this state
will assemble at Madison, by their dele
gates, TO place in nomination RepublI
can state ticket. There are several can
didates for the various offices, all good
men, any one of whom would fill credit
ably the position to which he aspires.
For the benefit of our readers we give
the names of those most prominently
mentioned.
For Governor We find Gen. David At
wood and Gov. Lucius Fairchild, of
Madison, Hon. Anthony Van Wyck, of
Kenosha, Hon. VIM. E. Smith, of
Dodge county and Hon. A. NJ. Thorn
son, of Rock county, are the chief aspir-
ants. Any Of these gentlemen would ill
the gubernatUrial chair with honor and
ability.
For 1t. Governor we have Hon. w.
]. Copp, of Pierce, Hon. Thad. c.
Pound, of Chippewa, Hon. J. Bowman,
of Columbia. and Hon. W. w. Field,
of Grant, as the more prominent candi-
dates.
The aspirants for Secretary of State
are Gen. Thos S. Allen, the present in
cumbent, and Hon. E. A. Spencer, his
able and efficient assistant.
Ii. Breese of Columbia, and Henry
Baetz of Manitowoc ara the prominent
candidates for State Treasurer. Hon.
VIM. Ketchum, and Hon. Levi Alden,
are also mentioned in connection with
the same office. Samuel McCord Of
Milwaukee, recently a candidate, has with
drawn from the field.
For Attorney General we have the
following list from which to select can
didate. ]. NJ. Bingham, of Jefferson.
s. S. Barlow, of Sank, E. L Browne, of
Waupun, J. r. Bennett of Rock, Levi
Hubbell of Milwaukee.
We have observed but tw o candidates
for State Superintendent of Public In
struction. Hon. A. ]. Craig, and Prof
Chas. A. Allen.
For State Prison Commissioner we
find presented Hon. Henry Cordier, H.
KIeinpell, Geo. T. Wheeler, H. o.
Crane, o. G. Johnson and S. NJ. ]. Put.
nam.
These are the candidates most talked
of for nomination to the respective offices
to which they aspire. Who will be Sc
lected by the convention and placed in
nomination, ia a matter of much doubt
SO equally balanced seem the strength o (
the different aspirants. ALI we have to
say is, "may the best man win."

The Prescott JOURNAL urges the claims
of Hon. w ] Copp, of Pierce county,
for the nomination of Lieutenant Gever-
nor, September 1st. Mr.. G is one of the
heavy men of the 9th district, and if the
section is to have the honor of furnishing
the next Lieutenant Governor, we hope
he aUiU be the man. He is well known
as man of high character and ackuowl-
edged ability, an experienced legislator,
and good parlimentarian. His years
of service, in both branches of the legis
lature render him eminently fit to dis
charge the duties of presiding officer of
the Senate with credit to himself and
that honorable body. One of the pio-
neers of the Republican party in the
Northwest, he has ever been among the
representative men of the 9th district,
and if long and faithful service is esteem
ed of any value, then is he fairly entitled
to some reward at the hands of his
friends. "--DodgeviHe Chronicle.

Terrific Storm.


Last Tuesday afternoon terrible storm
of wind and. rain passed over this region.
The flood gates of heaven were opened,
and the rain came down in great sheets
and waves, while the +" four winds "
seemed to have joined their forces for one
mighty howl. 1t lasted from twenty
minutes to half and hour, and seemed
to rage the fiercest along the river. Wheat
in the shock, fences, trees and buildings
went down before the blast. We learn
that the house Of Mr.. BARNES, who lives
in the country, was moved several feet
from its foundation; half of the roof Of
Capt. Cooks new barn was blown off,
as was also the roof of the Presbyterian
church in Hastings. We have heard of
no lives being. lost.
The crops have suffered considera-
bic damage. The high wind laid the
uncut grain flat to the ground. blew
down the shocks and exposed them 10 a
pelting rain. Fortunately there remains
but little grain to be cut, and with prop
err care, that already 10 the bundle will
not be seriously injured. The corn crop
is badly damaged; many of the stalks
being broken off and others blown down.

Mr. Boutwell's monthly exhibit of the
national debt for August is fattering one
and credtable to the management of the
Treasury Department. Fortunately for the
Secretary and the country the revenue con-
tinues to come in like food tide. The debt
has been decreased nearly seven millions and
half during the last month, and yet the
Treasury is full. There is on hand over
hundred and three millions in specie, which, if
reckoned in currency, amounts to hundred
aud forty millions of dollars, and in currency
over twenty-three millions-in all upwards of
hundred and sixty-three millions in cur
rency. With this enormous sum on hand,
and with the prospect that the revenue will
continue to come in at about the same rate,
why should not Mr.. Boutwell, buy up and
cancel q much larger amount of the debt
Why keep this stupendous fund lying idle?
A larger amount of tho debt sho uld be paid
and the interest saved. The Secretary is
doing well, but he can do more. Let US hope
that the next month will show much greater
reduction of the debt than the last one.

Royalty In Homage 60 Thuentne0pys
By mail from Europe we have a full re-
port of the interesting ceremony and scenes
which took place in London on the occasion Of
the unwilling and formal Inauguration Of the
memorial statue erected by the citizens Of the
British metropolis In honor of George Peabody.
The Prince of Wales of1ciated, and thus be-
came the chief instrument In work ennobling
even to him. The Lord Mayor Of London was
the second most prominent parsonage in at
tendance, sealing officially by his presence the
gratitude of the municipality towards the
generous benefactor of their poorer brethren,
both in the present and the future. 1t was
a very grand and glorious moment, an epoch
in strict accordance with the spirit Of the age
marking triumph of industry, genius, morality
and the universally Of Christianity in an indi-
vidual yet living and worthy the commemo-
ration. An English noble and writer has
alleged that when ''storied urns" and sculp-
tured tombs tell who rest underneath they
most frequently set forth not what the man
was, but what she should have BEEN" This
severe truth does not apply, in any respect, in
the case Of Mr.. Peabody. Born in a young
republic he won his wealth by patient
application and toll, and can desire no more
fitting epitaph in the Land where hs iabored
than the testimonial of what he "was."

A MINE PIT HORROR. From Central Eu-
rope comes intelligence of mining disaster,
attended with such appalling fatality and la
mentable consequences as to throw all our
more recent accounts of railroad casualties and
such like occurrences in this country in still
more dreary shade. In the mountain district
of Saxony, near to the city Of Dresden,
three hundred and twenty persons employed
in coal mine were instantly killed yes
terday by an accident, the exact nature
of which Is not stated The cable says
that the consequences are attributable
to ''stormy weather." This is not very intel
lgible unless 1t means that the accident was
caused by an explosion Of sire damp pro-
duced by the upsetting or opening of a lamp in
the hands of some person, thrown over per-
haps by a gust of wind To the dead it mat
