rival that offered by Ottawa, he makes the alb
surd objection that the ground Ottawa offers is
TOO well supplied with water-in other words, is
wet and boggy. Such talk is ridiculous. The
ground slopes towards the Illinois river, where
there is an abrupt bluff IS feet high. The spring
lies perhaps 50 feet higher than the proposed
site of the building, and tho wet, boggy ground
complained Of is around the spring. A ditch,
costing 800 from the spring to the brow Of the
bluff, would drain every foot Of the ground need

Chester County Politics.

WEST CHESTER, June 3, 1869.
The Republican County Convention met at this
place to-day, to nominate county ticket, and
elect delegates to tho State Convention. Consid-
cradle feeling has existed throughout the county
for some time past in reference to the nomina-
tions, and the Convention was therefore full. An
idea had got abroad that the politicians in West
Chester, like those Of Media, control the nomina-
tions, and this feeling was manifested in the votes
of the delegates recording them in a full round
voice, as il they desired to make their opposition
TO what is known rs the Z" West Chester Ring"
he mainly upon the District Attorney, Recs Davis
having tho inside track. He was opposed by Col
G f. Smith. who rallied great number of tue
country delegates, and succeeded in being nomi-
mated. No nomination was made for SENATOR
that Office being conceded TO Delaware county
by universal consent. The delegates to the State
Convention were instructed to support the noni-
nation of Gen. Gcary for Governor, which was a
popular and wise movement. All the old Repre-
sentatives in the Legislature were thrown over
board, aud new nominations were nndc. Inc

Tic Miners Journal, Of Saturday, says
" So general has the suspension been, that
the whole surplus of 7l2,732 tons. which
was in the market on the 18th of May, has
been removed, and leaves deficiency in
the market of l05, 500 tons compared with
last year, making the reduction in tho sup
ply 1851 tons, caused by the suspension.
This is sufficient at present, and the trade
ought TO be resumed next week. So far
there has not been much suffering for the
want of coal, but if it is continued any lon
ger, there will be great difficulty and many
iron works will have to blow out for want
of fuel. In Philadelphia, judging from II
statement Of the supply on Land, they would
not suffer for another week, and such is the
case generally in the citles-but many facto-
ries are entirely out, and in many places
they have been compelled to submit to high
prices, and burn all kinds of sizes they could
lay their hands ON to keep their works in
operation"
