THE CoNvENTIoN.-Perhaps it is needless to
urge all citizens who take an interest in the well
fare of the city to attend the meeting at Me-
chanics hall tonight. Whoever is nominated
for mayor there, will, in all probability, be the
successful candidate at the polls on Monday. A
number of gentlemen are named as suitable can
didates, some of whom would, it is feared, de
cline the honor, and others-would not, it is
confidently asserted Informal ballotting, and a
fair canvass of the merits of the candidates
whose names may be suggested, ought to, and
probably will, result in wise and popular Sc
lection. Solid men, the enterprising men, the
young men of Worcester are all concerned, and
should be well represented at the meeting to-
night.

ENVELOPES.
Postmaster General Creswelt writes to Senator
Ramsey in regard to petitions to congress that
the manufacture and sale of stamped envelopes
by the government and printing business cards
on the same be discontinued, that such thing
as counterfeiting stamped envelopes has not been
known, while many stamps on envelopes be-
come loose and are lost, thus subiecting letters
to be sent to the dead letter office.
The cost of envelopes sold by the department,
when compared with the quantity sold by the
trade in year, does not show any danger that
the government will monopoizc the business.
One establishment, in New York, owned by
firm whose name is attached to a petition, maui
ufactured and sold last year one hundred and
twenty-five millions of envelopes.
NEWS FROM CHINA.
Admiral Rodgers, commanding the ASiatic
feet, reports, from Woosung, China, December
-, his return to that place from Pekn, with
Secretary Seward and his party, whose journey
to and from the capital was everywhere received
with courtesy. In Pekin, Prince Kung and the
officers of the imperial cabinet returned the visit
which had been made to them. The interview
was very agreeable, but their conversation was
confined to gencralities.
Mr.. Seward once or twice touched lightly
upon serious matters, but discussion was avoided
by them. The admiral is convinced, from the
impression he Eeceived from various sources
that the imperial government understands that
it cannot cope with any great western power in
war, and that it will avoid, as far as it can,
any occasion for war. Admiral Rodgers saws
the present dynasty is in helpless and decay
ing condition, on the verge of dissolution, and
predicts its speedy downfall. The admiral and

are made. And he told them, going through
the process of initiation, which he claimed to
know beyond doubt, to which the entered APP
prentice is subjected, giving also the forms and
rites introduced on taking the second and third
degrees. He denounced and ridiculed the cere-
monies in the strongest terms, giving the facts
in the much-talked-of Morgan case, as he heard
them from one of the men on the coroner's jury
that sat on the dead body of the victim. He
will talk on the subject again this evening.

The DRUMMER BoY.-The theater was crowd
ed last night-seats and standing room-whch
fact is evidence enough of the success of
the play. Several scenes, as they were
brought out last night, really can't be
beaten on the stage, and the encouragement
which the actors must feel from the loud and
frequent applause will bring out their full talent
on the three nights to come. The music was
much better last evening than on either Monday
or Tuesday night, and is an important part Of
the performance. John Brown, Dixie, Yankee
Doodle, Benny Blue Flag, and other similar
pieces, come in with the full force of their mean
ing, and are given in the proper spirit by the
Worcester brass. About one hundred and fifty
persons came up from Webster and places this
side to sec the play last night.

J.-WedneSday, Jan. 25.-Charles H. Willard
of Worcester (colored barber,) was put on trial
for assault with knife on John W. Stevens, on
the night of JAN ID, in BENZ. Zaeders saloon on
Exchange street, and a verdict of guilty was
rendered, after the jury had been out about four
hours. The facts ELECTED by theItestimony did
not differ materially from those already made
public, as the result Of the examination before
the municipal court. The parties had been play
ing dominoes together, and the difficulty arose.
as defendant states, from Stevens charging him
with cheating, and telling him to leave which
he says he did, and that he only struck him (but
not with the kuife,) in return for blow he had
received from Stevens, after he had been pushed
out of the door. W. A. Williams, Esq, was his
counsel.
VIM. G. Benson, of Fitchburg, for assault with
a knife upon his wife, Ellen D. Benson, on the

O'Clock, and arrived home about half-past seven,
stopping at a store on the way, and finding no
supper ready, and his wife absent, he sent his
little girl out after her. Meanwhile he took a
long bread knife from the pantry and went out
las he states) to cut some kindlings to make a
fire with, and met his wife IN the entry, and
stumbling over broom or mop handle he fell
and the knife came in contact with his wife, &C.
cidentally inficting the injury. The testimony
satisfied the jury that there was a purpose in the
act, and they found accordingly. The wound
was some three inches in depth, in the left side.
and came near proving fatal. Defendant has
been addicted to intoxication and fits of rape.
d. H. Merriam, Esq., was his counsel.
Edwin +. Howard, of Milford, pleaded oui,,v
of felonious assault, with intent to commit rone
upon the person of young girl 10 or IA years
old, as she was returning home from the high
school, in Milford, about two months since.
The act was perpetrated in piece of woods by
the side Of the road leading from her fathers
house, the scoundrel waylaying her from the
woods as she was passing. The just sentence of
fifteen years hard labor in the state prison was
given him.

lows aud would like to be elected. At least
that is the logic and the only logic relied on
TO secure Democratic votes, without which
Mr.. HENRY cannot 60 TO the Legislature.
No moro corrupt ring exists under the in
suited heavens than the present Treasury
Ring Of Pennsylvania. The Evans defalca-
ton of $500 900. frghtful as it is. is but a
sinking drop cut of this foul pool Of corrup
ton; aud M'CLURE, the only Radical honest
enough to expose it, was removed from office
for no other reason than to prevent further
disclosures.
IF there is even one Democrat, therefore,
in the county who admires "cleyer fellow"
so much more than be does principle and
interest. as to vote for SAMUEL HsNRY, let
him remember that at about the same hour
SAMUEL HENRY will be casting his vote for
DIR. STANTON for Auditor General, in prefer
euce to the gallant M'CANDLEss. lest the
robberies of the past few years should be
exposed and the Radical party be brought
into deeper disgrace, if such thing were
possible. Let him also remember that if
SAMUEL HENRY should be elected to the
Legislature the banking interest must and
will be served at the expense of the people,
and that by the reelection of MACKtY, thro'
his aid. the funds of the Commonwealth will
continue to be prostituted to persona! gain
and to the perpetuation of the present Trea-
sury Ring.
Personally we have none but the kindest
feelings towards Mr.. HENRY. and have only
said what we have said in the performance
of sacred dnty devolving upon us. To
that gentleman individually the position he
seeks can be no object. and while his election
would be loss to his friends and neighbors,
it would at the same time be an injury to
the best interests of the people. His election
therefore would only result in securing a
bad legislator and dspriving this community
for the time being a very 'clever fellow"

up the ladders to the uppermost scaffold, and
after remaining there short time commenced
his ascent.
After descending part way he stopped on
one of the lower scaff1lds, and then went up
again. His friends demonstrated with him
to come down. This he finally attempted
to do. by means of a rope Inside the steep,e,

scending a short distance he became confused.
and either let go his hold or the rope slipped
through his hands, and be fell. After thus
falling a short distance be struck on board

he fell to the ground, striking on coil of

fifty and sixty feet. and it is miracle that
he was not instantly killed.

ANGEL, Thief. OR DEvIL.-A new thiev-
iug dodge is out, as practised on railroads
with success by females who enter cars, and
finding gentleman sitting alone, ask if
the other seat is occupied. The gentleman
at once motions her to be seated. when she
politely asks him if he won't allow her to
sit by the window. OF course this request
IS also granted, and she becomes seated -
Presently she finds that there is not air
enough in the car, and requests the gentle~
man to raise the window. He at once rises
to do so. and as he leans over her she picks
his pocket or removes his watch, which she
passes to a male confederate in the pext seat
behind her. There are three kinds of woman,
and this is number two.
