WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. 31.-A telegram

ing a report prevalent there to-day, that the
treasury had issued five additional millions of
greenbacks 1t can be stated with truth, and
about which there is no official concealment,
that four or five millions Of the reserve of forty
four millions, the issue of which the treasury
department consider is left TO the discretion of
the secretary, was made use of when the assist
ant treasurer at New York was instructed to
buy bonds and sell gold apart from the usual
monthly programme. This was on the 9TH Of
October, more than three weeks ago. Since
that time no further amount of reserve has been
used, nor is there the least probability that it
will again soon be drawn upon, The transac

extraordinary contingency.

FINE PAINTING.-M. Editor Will you
permit me to call the attention of your readers
to the fine painting now on exhibition in the
window of Mr.. Peck's store in Lincoln house
block? The picture is an admirable portrait of
the horse Daniel Lambert, owned by Messrs.
favorite horse of Addison county, the home of
Old Black Hawk and Ethan Allen. He has
trotted his mile in ;24t, and is a son of Ethan
Allen and the sire of the celebrated horses Col.
Mouton, Nonesuch, and Jubilee Lambert. The
artist, Mr.. G. F. Daniels, who has won for him
self rising reputation by his faithful rendering
of landscape, has shown very clearly in this
picture his ability TO treat other branches Of
his art in the same forcible and refined
manner which has always been displayed
in his landscapes. The picture as a whole is
admirably executed and all the details well de.
fined, and at the same time nothing appears
obtrusve. The drawing of the figure shows
very careful study of a difficult subject, The
anatomy is well defined and the whole express
sion of the subj ect well given. The background
which represents portion of Lake Champlan,
is somewhat broken by the foliage, but docs not
appear to iDjure the harmony of the picture,
On the whole we think it is decided success,
and we congratulate Mr. Daniels upon his entry
into Il new field where we believe he will win
new successes and add to his already well earned
reputation. II.

The republicans Of the city met in delegate
convention at the headquarters last evening, to
nominate candidates for representatives to the
general court.
The convention of the 10th district, which
comprises wards 1, 2, 8, s., and Paxton, was
called to order by r. NJ. Gould, and organized
by the choice of Hon. Geo. NJ. Rice as chairman,
and Chas. i. Stevens as secretary. The names
of delegates chosen to the convention were read
and responded to, after which it was voted to
ballot for three candidates upon one ticket.
Mr., George L. Newton called attention to the
fact that the representatives chosen at this con-
vention would doubtless be called upon to vote
for a successor to Hon. Henry Wilson in the
United States senate, and said he understood
that Gen. Butler was intending to run for the
position, and as the city of Worcester was
strongly anti-Butlcr last year, it wouldibe well
to understand how the gentlemen who were be-
fore the convention intended to vote.
Some remarks followed from Messrs. L. w.
Pond, R. NJ. Gould, Chas. L. Stevens and 9TH
ers, the general idea expressed being that the
gentlemen, whose names were before the con-
vention, were good republicans, and not pledged
to vote for any one man as senator.
The ballot was then taken with the following
rpsult.
Worcester daily spy., 1872-11-01

And the three gentlemen last named were de.
clared elected candidates. On motion of Mr..
Tateum the vote was made unanimous.
The district committee Of last year, consisting
of Messrs. R. NJ. Gould, Chas L. Stevens and
j. G. Bigelow of Paxton was reelected for the
ensuing year.
The republican representative convention for
the iith district, comprising wards A, 5, and 7,

journment of the 10th district convention, by Il.

blocks would split open, end loud clap
OF thunder would follow. The lightning
appeared bluer and thunder appeared
more hollow than is seen and heard from
the earth. Over those parts that the
storm had past there appeared light
clouds, moving in another direction, and
looked like white smoke issuing from q

A CoLoRRD MAN ON THE SITUATION
The well.known oolored lawyer, Robert
Morris. OF Boston, in an interview
held few days ago. with q representa-
tive OF the Boston Post, held the fol-
lowing language:
II made up my mind long since that
Horace Greeley was the man of all
others who would look out for the best
interests OF the colored people. and am
firmly impressed with that idea. 1 have
concluded to cast my vote for him in
November. regard it as the best nomi-
nation that could have been made. Mr..
Greeley has shown by his whole life that
he ls capable. upright and honest man,
and that's the kind Of man we need at
the head of the Government. He has
always stood by the black man, and
when think how he has arisen from the
humble condition OF his boyhood to his
present proud position by his own ex-
ertions, cannot believe he is going to
be swayed from the path which con-
soientious regard for the interests of the
black man points out"
AS regards the sentiments of the CO.
lored people in general, he further said:
''The colored people everywhere, are
anxiously waiting for Senator Sumner to
speak out. and then we shall know how
they will stand in the coming contest. L
may say that my action will be influ-
enced by whatever Mr.. Sumner says
also. consider the treatment which
Mr.. Sumner has received at the hands
Of the Republicans, direct insult to the
colored men, whom he has always de-
Tended. l hold that party responsible
for the defeat of all the measures which
have been brought forward for the ameli-
oration of the condition of tho colored
men, and hope they will soon learn q
lesson showing them the folly of such
proceedings. We all look upon him as
our tried and trusted leader. He has
unflinchingly stood mp for rs all through
our struggles for our rights, and we feel
confident that he will continue to defend
our cause and tell us who are our friends
and who are our enemies"
The following expresses his opinion of
carpet-baggers end the origin of Ku
Klux:
'"The Republican party has spent all
its time and energy in taking measures
for what they call the protection of the
black men in the South. But what has
it all amounted to? The only result of
their labors has been q lot of carpet-bag-
gers, who have gone far to deetroy every
yestige of good government in the
South. If they had just let the negroes
alone, and let them have the right to
protect themselves, there would never
have been such an organization as the
Ku Klux heard Of"
