A Public Benefactor.

sWbo ia he ?" "Where is he 2" May be |
the questions asked. Wewould ss:.y, he may
be found, ia the person of Capt. A.W. Porter,
of Union City, Ind, now occupying rooms
at the Rock Island House, in this city. In
all ages of the world, it has been fact, that
the men whose benefaclions to the public
have been the greatest, who have done the
most for the ameliorstion and eulghtsr
ment of mankind, have been the last an
precisted and most uukindly used. But
thanks to these men, when a aew thing Is
introduced, at the present time, which shows
plainly upon the face of it, and BY its action.
that it is really an article of merit, one of
the Desiderata criosa, the public accept it
and give the inventor their hearty spproba
ton and support.
Capt. Porter has here upon exhibition an
article of his own invention which he calls.
Book Window Shade" and it is Our OK
pressed conviction that it is fer superior to
any other shade, in point of utility, elegance
and convenience, and it is certainly cheaper
than the inside shutter, which we have been
wont to think par ercelenee the best. IL
its construction, it is simple and devoid Of
complication everything connected with
its working being visible upon its
service. A room fitted with this shade can
be rendered entirely dark, or light admitted
at the top, bottom, middle, or all together
1t is also so constructed that it can be
opened, letting in the foil light OF day, and
jet, with the window up, no rain can beat
in. They are manufactured to suit the fur
niture in any room, and as an article Of
beauty and utility for the chamber, dressing
room Cor in fact, any room, it is unequalled
by any thing of its kind. II is in truth JUS
what is needed in every house, and yet, with
all these advantages it is cheaper than tn
, common inside shutter It is having al
, immense sale. The Captain has not visited
r county yet, and left it rnsold. We hsv,
no doubt arrangements will be made for il
manufacture in this city.

THE LIBERAL CONVENTION,

The great liberal convention about
which 50 much has been said of late.
and to which SO many people have
earnestly and longingly looked for a
solution af the political troubles of the
country, assembled at Cincinnati on
the first instant, and was permanently
organized by the election Of Senator
Carl Schurz, as president of the con
vention, with a vice-president from
each of the States and Territories, and
by the adoption Of the rules and regu.
lations governing the house of repre-
sentatiyes of the United States for the
government of the convention.
The dispatches are very volumnious
and we find room for the following
only:
MEMPHIS, May 2. A special to the
Appeal, from Cincinnati Cd, says, the
failure TO make nominations toe day is
a favorable indication for Brown and
Greeley, against Adams. Davis and
Adams friends will combine. The
leaders of the Pennsylvania delegation,
after vote for Curtin, wiz 20 for
Brown and Greeley. Brown and
Frank Blair will be aere tonight.
Pendleton prefers Brown and Greeley.
The west Tennessee and Arkansas del,
egates are firm for Brown, Davis OF
Trumbull. Middle Tennessee for
Adams. The contest seem narrowed
down to Brown and Greeley against
Adams, who is preferred by Belmont.
The Adams men may go for General
Cox.

own fervent feelings upon the subject.
His remarks met with hearty appro-
baton.
The next speaker selected for the
occasion was your whilom townsman
Capt. James p. Erwin. This oppor-
tunity presented was favorable one,
aud right well did he take advantage
Of it. His effort towards the advance
ment Of the educational interests of the
country was credit to his head and
heart. lie handled his subject with
mastery genius and was most impres,
sive in the matter Of delivery. His
eloquent Grafton was listened to with
great attention and received the COM
mendations Of the audience. The
Rev. w. J. Browng, in few and
appropriate remarks then solicited from
the aLdierce additional subscription TO
the College. The citizens present then
subscribed something over fourteen
hundred dollars. The table was then
visited, and being filled with every
thing that the appetite would demand,
was dcnsely crowded. But, thanks tc
the liberality Of our citizens, we had
enough for all Not disturbance oc-
CURED to mar the tranquility of the
proceedings, and all passed off as
quietly as could I've required.
After dinner the audience was en-,
tertained by the remarks of Mai. II.
A, Jones, who, being thoroughly con.
yersaut with his subject, acquitted
himself with much credit, as he usual
ly does.

1t is the opinion of the Boston Globe
that Senator Schurz has but very little
influence among the Germans after all
for the reason that they are "a thought
tul and rejecting people, It's these
characteristics of all Others thai would
be apt to lead them out of their past
political associations. II is the men

ELOQUENT SPEECH OF MIR.
VOORHEES,.

A Washington correspondent writes
as follows, under date of March 2ith
Mr. VOORHEES,, in opening, referred
to the condition Of many of the States
of the Union, which he says excite.
the unmingled pity and Indignation Of
the civilized world. They arc the
theme of sorrowiul and bitter comment
wherever the channels of human intel>
ligence penetrate. They engage the
attention Of all the departments of the
Government. Executive proclama.
tions spread evil tidings about them,
and hurl every principle of their liber-
ties, every muniment of their safety, to
the ground.
Congress cnacts laws against them
which utterly destroy every vestige of
freedom, and forge and rivct on their
helpless limbs the fotters of despotism.
1t also sends forth lis powerful mis-
sionaries Of mischief in the form of
committees, backed by the money and
power of Government, whose labors
are to blac&en the character and fame
of their people, under the guise Of
official investigations and official re-
ports, the head Of the Department Of
Justice, the Late Attorney General,
he who led the people into the war,
and then returned to plague and lay
waste the hearthstones of his followers,
supcrintends in person the inquisiton
aud the torture inflicted upon the de-
scendants of those who fought in the
battles of the revolution.
The army Of the United States, in a
time of profound peace, has launched

in his recent message, prepared, as he
says, in haste, as if he hrl affairs OF
greater importance to engage his atten

has now promulgated an order enioin,

ruptcy, crime, oppression and ruin;
that by its conduct and policies every
blessing of free government has been
scourged from the face Of a country
containing over twelve millions of peo-
pie, and larger in extent than many Of
the foremost powers Of Europe; by this
party the Constitution has been tram
pied under foot, dwarfcd into a dead
letter, or widened and extended by
fraudulent amendments according as
the unscrupulous purposes oe the pow~
erful party would be best promoted;
from turret to foundation the Repub-
lican party has torn down the govern
ments of eleven States; have rent all
their local laws and mach merry into
fragments, and trampled upon their
ruins. Mr.. Voorhees, described the
0strscism and political punishmerts
visited upon the old citizens of the
South. Every citizen who, during the
conflict of the sections, was clothed
with the slightest responsibility, has
been marked by the blight of intelligi-
bility, and, like the leper Of old, it
was made a crime for the people to
again reach forth to him the hand of
friendship. Even the sacred instincts
Of human nature became disqualifica-
tions Cor Office. The ties of kindred
were made criminal, and he who gave
a cup of cold water and a crust Of
bread to the thirsty and famished son,
under arms for a cause he believed to
be right, and for which he was willing
to die, was branded with dishonor and
driven out from the councils of his
countrymen. The loving mother who
sheltered her weary and wounded boy,
laid him in his own familiar bed at
home once more, kissed his feverish
lips, wiped away the gathering dews
of Ceath, and with broken heart
closed his dear eyes forever, was con :
demned for these acts of angelic minis
tering, and incurred tho penalties Of
con6scatim. He who dismounted and
| gave his horse to brother in the mo-
ment of danger and close pursuit; the
sister who wrought and sent clothing
to him en- the toilsome march; the
maiden who prayed for her lover as he
lay dying in the Wilderness or at
Stone river, al fell under a common
curse. Even the white haired grand
mother of four score years, whose
youthful husband perhaps, was at the
Cowpens, Euraw Springs and York
town, or may be, fought under Jackson
at New Orleans, in the war of 1912,
was deprived Of her pension, that small
morscl Of bounty from IN ungencrous
Government if her heart yearncd or
her aged hand was extended in sym>
pathy TO her children and children
children on the plains of the South. A
more sweeping and universal exclusion
from all the benefits, trusts, honors.
enjoyments, and liberties of govern
IAent was never enacted against a
whole people, without respect to age or
sex, IN annals ofthe human race. The
disgraceful disabilities imposed upon
the Jews for nearly eighteen hundred
years by the blind and bigoted nations
Of the earth, were never more complete
or appalling.
