Editorial Convention for 1871.

There seems to be a somewhat general agita-
tinn of the question as 10 where the Editorial
Convention for 1871 shall be held. The only
place yet named, so far as we have observed,
Is Akron, the Twin City of Sringfeld, where
the editors Of Ohio had such glorious time a
year ago. In response to this general verdict
Of "Let's 60 to Akron," we say "Come on"
"Akron is adequate for the OCCASION" In re-
sponss to the proceedings Of our city council,
last evening, which we publish.in another col
un1n it will be seen that our good City Fathers,
have extended an official invitation to the fra
teruity to hold the convention in this city.
This means that all proper means will be taken
for both the "entertainment" aud the" protec-
tim" of any number Of the brethren that ma Y
honor the city with their presence, or in other
words, that we will use our best endeavors to
demonstrate to the "assembled wisdom" of Ohio
that Akron is indeed a live city," What say
YOU brethren, will. ycu come to Akron.-Akron

THE FALL OF PARIS.
AM ArmIstIce Coz Three weeks

Famine has iriumphed over The Parisians.
An armisice has been declared for three weeks,
by virtue Of which !he Prussians occupy the cor
don OF Qualifications around Paris, thus placing
that city at their mercy.
The interval Of the armistice will be occupied
IN the election OF q National Assembly 10 meet
in Bordeaux on the 18th inst, on whom will de-
volve the duty Of making peace with the Prus-
slams, OF Of continuing the war.
That peace will be proclaimed there can be no
doubt, as it would be the height Of folly and Of
madness for the French to continue the war. In
the mean timo the Germans are using every
means 10 supply Paris with food. The Emperor
ordered that 100000 rations be sent to the
famishing city from the German army.
The condition Of matters will be fully apprecia-
ted by sperusal Of the following dispatches from
the German Emperor to the Empress:
"YERsAILLsE, Sunday. ppm
"7o he Enpress Augusta:
Last night an armistice for three weeks was
signed. The Regulars and Mobiles are to be
retained In Paris rs prisoners Of war. The
National Guard will undertake the maintenance
Of order. We occupy all the forts. Paris re-
mains invested, but will be allowed to revic-
| tual as soon as arms surrendered. The Ma
1onal Assembly is tn be summoned to meet al
B rdeaux in a fortnight. All armies in the
field will retain their respective positions, the
ground between the opposing lines to be neutral
This is the reward OF patriotism, heruism and
great sacrifices. Thank God for this frest
mercy. May peace soon follow. WILHELM"
Another dispatch states the terms Of peac'
offered 10 the French nation TO be
First-The cession Of the province OF Lorrain,
known as German Lorraine.

An important decision has recently been rem
dered by Judge McKENHA, one of the Circuit Judg
es of the United States Supreme Court, in a case
which the New Jersey Mutual Life Insurance
Company were defendants. The Company had
refused to pay policy of $4,000 upon 'he life
of mau who had committed suicide, the policy
being held by his assignee. The decision was
adverse to the Company. Nearly all the evi-
dence adduced was on the point of insanity, il
being attempted to be proven that the insured
party was not in his right mind, and that death
vas the result Of insanity. The Court decided
that the man was insane that insanity was q
disease and that death being directly the re-
suit Of such disease, the holder of the policy
was as much entitled to recover. the amount Of
the policy as if death had occurred from any
other. kind of disease.

Soldiers Resolutions.

At a meeting of our soldier friends, held 10
Maumee City, on Decemb,r stb, 1870, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were unani.
mously adopted:
/ WHEREAS, Under the existing homestead law
ithe MANNED and crippled soldiers, sailors and
marines, and the widows and orphans Of the de-
ceased soldiers, sailors and marines, those need
ing the aid and bounty Of the government the
most, are unable, on account of disability, ia
secure TOR themselves a homestead and,
WHEREAS, Soldiers in the previous wars,
which in magnitude results and bearing on the
government could form no parallel to the strug-
gle in the late rebellion, received land warrants.
il is gross injustice to those who fought for the
vitality of the nation to deprive them of priyil-
eges and immunities granted TO soldiers in pre-
YiOas wars and,
WHEREAS, A large class Of soldiers are now
suffering from diseases contracted in the army,
and have never received any bounty, because
they were discharged prior TO the expirations Of
their term Of enlistment therefore,
Resolved, That we cordially invite all honora-
bly, discharged soldiers, sailors and marines to
unite with us in our efforts 30 secure to the
soldiers, Sailors and marines, and the widows
and orphans of deceased soldiers, sailors and
marines, land warrants, the same privileges and
mmunities granted 10 soldiers heretofore.
Resofoed, That we invite them to assist us in
securing the passage of an act granting to each
and every enlisted man (wh0 has not alread v
received bounty at that rate) eight and one
third dollars per month, from date OF enlistment
to date Of discharge.
ResoLesd, That in order to get this matter be-
fore those interested, the foregoing be published
in the ealing paTes, the N nt,w .st and all 9th
er pal S favorable to the movement are respect
fully requested TO give It publicity.
In view OF the foregoing, we would respect
fully solicit correspondence from those interes-
ted, which will in any way tend to advance the
cause and accomplish the object. All comma-
nications addressed to J. +. ALLEN, Maumee
City, Ohm, Corresponding Secretary Of the Sol
ders. Rights Association, will reeeTe prompt
attention.
II. q. NORTON, Prssidsnt.
j. w. CUMMINGS, Secretary.
In regard to the above resolutions we fully
agree that the brave men who have recently
saved the nation from destruction should re-
ceiye at all times the utmost liberaliiy from
this government. As to the best and most ju-
dic'ous process, it is difficult to determine. ID
the mean time, however, our Legislators are at
work. The Senate has passed bill, with
hardly any debate or opposition, wLjchncreases
the payments of all classes of invalid pensions
twenty per cent. ON aud after the first ot March
next.
Other measures will no doubt be seon adopted
to express the gratitude of the nation.

Row In THE EIGuTH WARD.-There
was quite a row, Saturday night, down in
the Eighth Ward. A number of fellows
got filled up with whisky, beer, &c, and
then started out to make night OF it.
We think, from what we heard, that they
succeeded. Two members of the police
force were routed and put to fight Re
turning subsequently, with reiniOrcements,
they arrested Jake Speldel, who boldly
and determincdly set them at defiance.
Rugged out with wristlets, he was march.
ed to the lookup, and will probably ap.
pear in Act ed before His Honor This
morning, in the police court. The roughs
down in that section might as well under.

bnduct will receive the punishment It de-
serves.
