The OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

Elections took place on Tuesday, the 9th
inst. in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana
and Nebraska. In the two last named States
County officers only were elected, and we
have no returns whatever from either State.
In Pennsylvania the election was for Gov
ernor, Supreme Judge and Legislature. John
w. Gcary, the present Governor, is reelected
over Asa Packer, the Democratic candidate.
by about 4,0O0maj Henry w. Williams.
the Radical candidate for Judge of the Su-
preme Court, is also elected, and by a ma
iority considerably larger than Gealy's. The
Legislature is Radical by about the same ma
jority as last year. The Democrats have not
succeeded in electing their candidate for Gov
cmorat any election since 1857 ;and the MAORI
ty against them is much smaller now than at
any Gubernatorial election since that time,
Gealy had HIS majority when he was pre-
viously elected, and Grant carried the State
last year by about 10000 majority. There
was q serious and bitter quarrel among the
the Democrats of Philadelphia in regard to
their County and Legislative tcket and but
for this the Radicals would have lost the
State, as some of their leading papers acknowl-
edge.
In Ohio o Govclnot and several other State
officers were elected-also Legislature
Robert B. Hayes, Radical, and now Cover
nor of the State, is reelected by about
5000 majority over George H. Pendleton.
the Democratic candidate, and the rest of the
Radical State ticket is also elected by about
the same majority. The Legislature is prob
ably Radical by 4 very small majority-one
in the Senate and three in the House. Ohio
has not elected a Democratic Governor since
1858, and the Radical majority this year is
much smaller than the average for the last
fifteen years. Grants majority last year was
41,42S.
Iowa has as usual gone for the Radicals,
elccting a Governor, State officers and I,ccis
iaturc. Samuel Merrill is reelected Governor
by about 10000 majority, and the Legislature
is foul-flths Radical Grants majority was

THE LOUISVILLE CONVENTION.

On the 18th inst. there met at Louisville,
Ky, a Commercial Convention, composed of
delegates from every State in the Union, for
the purpose of initiating and carrying for
ward measures to restore the prosperity Of
the South. An object so worthy and patriot
ic brought together, as the occasion deserved,
the ablest men of the Southern States, to-
gether with large number Of the most far
seeing and enterprising statesmen and COM
mcrcial men of the West and North. These
gentlemen are taking hold of the matter ear
nestly, with q determination that the IN
cqualled resources of the fertile and hitherto
prosperous region lying south of the line Of
the Ohio river, shall be made again to yield
its abundance, as a generous contributor to
individual and national wealth. This gath
cring was designed to follow the same gen
eral line of policy as that held at Memphis
last summer, which mainly interested itself
in the question of labor supply for the South
ern plantations.
ES-President Willard Fillmore presided, and
took the chair in a very happy speech. AT
ter expressing his sense Of the honor confer
red upon him, Mr. Fillmore said he trusted
that the war with its logical events and ques-
tons has been settled never to disturb lis
again. He continued

George Washington presided over that convention
The Constitution was adopted by the people. Do
you want to give it up? It is broad enough to pro-
tcct every one.
On the second day the business committee
recommended that the Convention appoint the
following standing committees, each COM
posed OF Que member from each State rep
resented First, Oh the Southern Pacific rail
road; second, on railroads generally; third,
on direct trade with Europe; fourth, on emf

river navigation, canals and other improve
ments; tenth, on agriculture; eleventh, on
continuous water line communication between
the Mississippi river and the Atlantic sea-
board; twelfth, on the removal of the OBJ
structions to cheap and easy outlet through
the Mississippi and the Gulf; thirteenth, on
imports.
Different subjects were discussed and reso-
lutions offered during the day. The various
matters for the consideration of the Conven-
ton would be reported by the committees.
and fully discussed during the session.

One Of the most bene6cent plans ever de-
viscd for the helping or the welfare Of the
laboring classes of a large city, is the pub
lished purpose of A. T. Stewart, to create
cheap homes for them at Hampstead, Long
Island He has purchased an immense tract
of land, accessible by railroad, which he will
improve in every possible way, erect good
dwellings, and dispose of them at cost, with
easy terms Of payment, to deserving persons
employed in New York city. He has already
contracted for five hundred miles of streets
and roads, and will next year erect five hun
dred dwellings, as the beginning Of his great
and benevolent enterprise. This is truer
benevolence than that which gives outright
in money-for it teaches the benefit of care
and foresight, impresses lessons of economy,
and lends a helping hand to those who can
shortly climb for themselves. No man could
desire to leave better monument than will
Mr.. Stewart, in his Hampstead purchase,
when the benevolent purposes of the founder
are fully carried out.

| a SINGULAR MURDER CASE IN ILLINOIS
| Illinois papers are making quite u sensatiu
of what is, to say the least, 81 singular cas-.
The Rev. Isaar Is. Smith, I'd clergyman of 'Tur
nor junction, In that State, has been inllirl
for the murder of his wife, in june last. N
Smith has been ten Years in the ministry, Or
OF which We're spent in New England. la
June he visited administers meeting III III
going with his wife in buggy After tl.
meeting in the evening they started, for ta.
residence Of Mr. Hammond, Mr.. Smul
brothcr-in-law, distant from Elgin only tu
miles. Later in the evening MIR. Smith we
to the house OF Mr.. Hammond, nquiring f..
his wife, saying that in crossing Il strcaM
the wagon was overturned, both himself aul
his wife upset and that he could not find hm
Help WAS procured. and the body of Nj
Smith was found under Il fence which cross.
the stream, and the water in the deepest sp.
measured but seventeen inches M0raayri
the body was found not twenty feet lru
where thcaccident is alleged to have occurred
and within a few feet of where he picked IN
u buffalo robe that fell from the buggy au.
which he carefully picked up before goiugt
help.
All this does not make Il very strong cas-.
and there is little probability that Mr. Smit
could be convicted on any testimony that Ca.
now be obtained. The attendant crcumstan.
cos are quite suspicious, nevertheless, but IN
not necessarily implicate him in Il murd,
lie AYERS that he was run over by the wagon
and trampled upon by the horse, but n.
bruises were left. His accounts Of the reason
why he went into the water at all and of th
accident Ito not agree. Mr.. Smith was liz,
ing ON a salary of eight hundred dollars
year, his salary at Algonquin, Whore he had
previously preached, having been only four
hundred dollars, Yet he was building %,
Turner 4 house that would cost six THOUSAND
dollars, borroWingthe money andpavnm ten
per cent. interest on it. Work had beer
stopped on it for want of funds but upon III.
death of his wife, and before the funeral be-
gave orders that the building should be Nd
sumcd. 1t was known that he was at II hcay>
charge fora ten thousand dollars policy ON
his own life and one for three thousand uu
that of his Wife. 1t has since been found, and
this is the most suspicious Circumstance
against him, that he had taken ont u six
thousand dollar policy against accidents ON
the life of Mrs. Smith. This fact he conceal
ed and even asserted that there was no such
policy in existence. His previous charactrr
has been irrcproachablc, and the belief in hi
innocence among many of his friends is very
strong He is said to have been Il protegc N
of the late Owen Loveioy, and to have ENJOY
ed the friendship of President Lincoln, and he
is spoken of rs an earnest and eloquent
preacher.
