q. w. Bliss for Member of Assembly.

BY the proceedings of the Republican
convention, held in this city last Satur-
day, and Published elsewhere, it will be
seen that GEORGE w. Bliss has been
nominal ted as the candidate of the party
in this Assembly District, for Member
of Assembly.
1t is hardly necessary to say that we
endorse this nomination most cordially;
nor is it necessary for US to tell the peo-
pie of this district who Mr. BLISS is
Almost every man in the county knows
that he conducted and edited the Tribune
for nearly % years; always with ability,
and consistency. and greatly to the
advantage Of Republcanism, morality
and patriotism. MIR. BLISS came to Iowa
County in the summer of lS47, located
in Mineral Point and began the publi-
cation Of the Tribune. During the eX-
istence Of the Wing party, the Tribune,
was an advocate Of the principles Of that
party Whiggery being merged INTO Re
pubicanism, the Tribune became the
organ of that party in Iowa county, and
has continued SO to the present time
In all these years, Mr. BLISS has labored
faithfully and effectively. Whether the
party to which he adhered was in the
majuIity or minority his course has never
varied Before leaving his native state,
New York; he edited n paper at West
field, copies Of which we have perused,
and in them find most prominent, the
leading political principles of his fe-
opposition to slavery and equal rights
for all men-.which have marked his career
to the present Every newspaper man
knows the difficulties attending the pubs
lication Of II country paper, and will
appreciate the services OF Mr.. BLISS -
Collecting the his cries Of all who have
engaged III this vocation, and comparing
them with that Of Mr. Bliss, his viii be
found far aboce the average where one
has accomplished more, score have ac-
compished less.
Mr. Bliss has never been an Office
seeker He has never held an Office to
which was attached much gain Some
ID years ago he was candidate for the
same office for which he is now nomi.

he failed Of election Now he is before
the people asking their suffrage for aposl-
ton for which he is unquestlonable well

bones lie scattered along the coast of

they died in companies. The MEAN

cause they looked upon free schools as

respect is known to be great, ana the
people will not be deceived by him
They who do nc. forget the conspicous
position he occupied during the ascend
ancy of the Democratic party--that he
was the partner and confidential friend OF

amounted to $4,000 more than the

The train that left Louisville on Tues
day evening last, and due here yesterday
morning, in charge, of VIM. Taylor, coz
ductor, was in a streak of bad luck. Du-
ring the night it ran into freigh; train No.
9, al Bacon creek, and the locomotive was
SO badly damaged that the conductor had
to telegraph to Bowling Green for another
engine. The latter in going down ran
into a gravel train, knocking things up
considerably. ssslAis#a
After some delay, however, the regular
passenger train was again in motion, NOV
ing for this point, when, in reaching a
curve, it ran into hand car loaded with
rails, and made such another scatteration
as has not been seen for a long time All
these accidents combined prevented the
train from getting in, and the passengers
arrived on the regular evening train.
