The melancholy seafaring man whose only
Joke was TO call himself the cook and captain
and mate of the Nancy Brig, the boatswain
tight and the midshipmite and the crew Of
the captains gig, because he had Incorporated
all these men and brethren in his own canni-
BAL system, reminds one of the figure cut by
Mr.. Duncan toward the close Of his COnven-
lion. Most of the delegates had gone home
iisgusted and each as he went authorized
Duncan 10 cast his vote. So that as the meet
ing flickered to its close, the only imposing
figure left in it was the undaunted BlantOn,
victorious over his govt and impervious to
ridicule, swinging the votes of continent in
the twilight void.

The Electoral ticket nominated yesterday is
one of rare excellence. In contrast to that
set up at Utica, where an attempt was made
to conciliate two especial classes of voters by
flattering their spirit of race, our joint Con-
yeRtion has given us three of tho most justly
illustrious names in the State as Electors for
the State at large, Amasa J. Parker, Henry
Il. Selden, and John Z. Williams are names
which in themselves are guarantees Of the
honesty and character Of any cause they
espouse. The District Electors are of the
same character and the whole College is COM

The Grant party has had bad luck with all
its little schemes for the purchase of political
organizations 1t has not been wholly success
tul in its transaction with Mr.. James 0'Brien
and Mr.. BlantOn Duncan; it cannot felcitate
itself upon the present condition of its affair
with MIR. Tweed and it made dead failure
last night in an attempt to capture the Ger

ought TO have been anticipated. Respectable

of freedom all people still in chains-a
palpable reference to the French Communists.
The only other noteworthy occurrence was
violent speech from the President of the Con-

Rail Road Matters,

A. p. & P.-We notice by the last Sentinel,
that the Editor is in quandary about the
mode and manner of getting this road ready
for the equipment, TO he supplied by the Penn
sylvania Co. who are 10 run it in connection
with their line. The circular quoted says
nothing about how this is TO be done. Our
cotemporary seems never 10 have heard of the
fact that there are two contracts to be submit
ted to the meeting of the stockholders. The
first is with the. Granite Improvement Co.,
who propose to build the road and put it in
condition for equipment, and the second starts
from this point, and is with the Pa. Company,
who are TO equip and put the road into opera
ton. These are the naked facts only, and In.
tended to meet the single point about which
our friend is demoralzed.
JEFFERSON STATIoN,--Our fellow citizen,
HENRY b. CASTLE has secured the contract
for putin up this bull ling, aud train of ten
car loads of timber passed over the line last
Saturday for that work. Mr. G. has all the
requisite qualities of skill and push for doing
the work as it ought TO be and in the, shortest
possible time. The sash, doors, modelings
and dressing of lumber is beiE done at CuL-
LEY's +"' '''
The bridge over the deep cut at Cemetery
Hill was begun on Tuesday last, and no i'm.
pedlments are expected to prevent an early
completion. Our Plymouth neighbors, there
fore, may be hopeful of an early transit over
their shortest cut to town.

an effort is being made which promises 10 be

desire to patronize worthy entertainments will
show their good will bestowing their quarter
upon this in preference to others of less merit
