OF wool, circling around the floor, and
gradually advancing toward him.
AT last, when the sound approached
within about three feet of the lawyers
position, he suddenly made bounding
plunge with his knife, aimed in the
dark air, where he supposed the bosom
ofhis foe to be. His blade struck against
that of the other, and few sparks of
fire relied at the fierce collision, and fell
expiring on the floor.
And then, for an instant, the seconds
without the door heard a sharp ringing
OF steel, groan, fall, and all silent as
The tomb! The duel at midnight ha
ended; but how? They were appalled,
at the horrible question.
Waiting some minutes, and hearing
nothing more, Colonel Morton and the
stranger prepared light, unlocked the
door, and entered. The spectacle was
most affecting. There lay the bloody
corpse of the duelist, Johnson, mangled
dreadfully, and above it stood the erect
and imposing form of the lawyer, Thom-
as, unhurt, not a cut in his skin or a
rent in his clothing, but weeping as if
his heart were broken.
He started back as the flashing light
dazzled his eyes. and growing pale as
the dead at his feet, exclaimed in ac-
cents of imme asurable anguish-"Oh,
God how shall endure to meet nv
dear wife. with this murderous gore On
my hands Such stains would defile the
very gates of heaven and blacken the
floor of hell itselfI"
He did, however, afterwards meet
Emma and her babe; but we shall not
attempt to paint the scene. A week
subsequently, he was shot to pieces in
his own Office, while employed writing
after night. The assassin was not
known, but was supposed to be young
er brother of the duelist, johnson.
The stranger who acted in the combat,
as the second of Thomas, was, indeed,
as he said, from Texas, andthen travel
ing through Mississippi, and was the
bravest man, perhaps, that ever drew
the breath of life. James Bowie, who
fell only with the fall of Alamo, when
his red knife was drunk with the blood
of Mexicans.

SPEECH OF HON. SAMUEL GALLOWAY.
1 am thankful, my fellow-citizens and
fellow members of this Convention, to
meet you on the present occasion. /
have met you in Conventions before,
and have become familiar with your
faces, and still more familiar with the
glorious principles which have given
celebrity 10 the name and fame OF the
Union party of Ohio. [Applause.] l
consider that it is one of the proudest
distinctions of my life that | have been
permitted to be identified with the party
that has made itself so illusLrious by its
advancement in freedom and clviliZ,l-
ton. The truth is, may fellow-ctizens,
this country belongs to the Republican
party. APPLAUSE We have redeemed
it from rebellion, and it is ours. That
flag is ours; that Congress of the United
States is ours; Ohio is ours; the white
loyal men are ours; and the freedmen
emancipated in the Providence of God
by the Republican party are ours. Ap-
plause. And to-day, notwithstanding
all the errors and mistakes that have
been made, this same party occupies as
proud position as it has ever done in
its history. We occupy to-daya more
prominent position than we did ten
years ago; for then we could only bear
the milk of the doctrine of human
rights; now we are vigorous and sus-
tanned by the strong meat Of the prnci-
Piles ofliberty and equality.
l shall not attempt, my fellow citizens
To recount what has been accomplished
by this Union party, not merely of
Ohio. but of the American Union. 1t
is a volume too full to be read by the
present generation, and one that chal-
lenges the admirations of freeman.
L have only time at present to briefly
advert to what has occurred during the
past year since last we met together. l
congratulate you on the fact that the ad-
ministration elected last year have, so
far as we know, honestly and conscient-
iously discharged their duty. They are
bright examples ofthe power and purity
of the Republican party.
Our legislature, the fullest exponent
of the sentiments of the party, COM
mands our confidence and our commen-
dation. The last legislature forms a
striking contrast with the preceding leg
islature in the economical administra-
tion of the finances of the Statessof Ohio;
and it rises far above it in the significant
fact, that to the last legislature we owe
the ratification of the Fifteeth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States. [Applause.l The preceding
Democratic Legislature consigned it, as
they supposed, to the grave, but I'M the
Providence of God the people of Ohio
bid it come forth, and at the last Legis-
lature it came forth with its resurrection
dress on, in the beauty the accomplish
ed p inciples of the Republican party.
Then say so far as our Representatives
are concerned in the State of Ohio, W

TRADE.

There was some improvement in the
general markets to-day, and more cOun-
try teams were seen upon the streets than
for weeks before. Prices have advanced
upon a few leading articles, as viii be
seen below. II would be wen ior our
merchants to remember that on D &th
instant the canal at Louisville viii close
for repairs. and will remain closed for al
least three months. II is more than
probable that freights will then materially
advance. .
The difficulty Of selling some brands of
Chicago pork, and interminable disputes
arising in adjudicsting settlements upon
short weight pork, has led to the aPpoint-
meut of a committee by the Board OF
Trade OF that city, which committed has
made a report Of new rules, from which
we extract the following:
Mess pork shall be cut and packed
from sides of well fatted hogs, in strips,
and properly hanked, and not back
strapped. One hundred and ninety-siX
pounds of green meat, numbering not
over sixteen pieces, including the regular
proportion Of flank and shoulder cuts,
four layers placed on edge, without
crowding or bruising) must be packed
into each barrel, with not less thar one
half bushel truck measure) OF good
coarse salt and filed up full OF clear
brine, as strong as salt Will make IL; pork
10 be cut a. near uniform in width as pos
sible.
1.-The number of pieces in each barrel
must be branded on the head. Ten days
after being packed, II submitted for in
spection, il must weigh out not less than
two hundred pounds net, and in thirty
days not less than two hundred
and nve pounds net, and in sixty
days not less than two hundred and ten
pounds net, and in ninety days not less
thar two hundred and twelve pounds net,
or in that proportion for any time during
the first ninety days. But no gain shall
bs required on pork after the 18th day Of
April, except Its proportionate gain &C
