Hull street, and. in fact, oil Of the streets
liaround Old Town point, are ip q ashocHng
condition, and wagons md carts entering
town are In danger Of being broken, Ninth
street below Decatur is in the same category.
We learn that the contractors for the Govern

their headquarters. We are sure as soon as
possible all these and many other points will

on the back streets the wood-carts and all
manner Of vehicles are in the habit Of
driving over the sidewalks and putting them
in the same condition as the middle Of the
street. Parties so offending should be prompt.
ly reported to the proper officers. :.
VARIOUS IrEMs.-B. A. Hancock, Esq,
County Superintendent Of Public Instruc-

Another lot of machinery for the Manches-
ter cotton mills has arrived. This last, by
some mistake, was shipped to Georgia, and
from thence by rail to Manchester, entalling
q very unnecessary expense on the company.
Both the stave factory and the cedar works
remain idle, but we trust that some capital
lists will find 1t to their interest to revive
them. In times past both were paying in
istitutions.

MILwAUKEE, June l3.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention to-day APP
pointed delegates to the Baltimore Con
vention, and the following resolutions
instructing them as TO their action:
Resolved, That the address and reso-
lutiOns of the Liberal Republican Con-
ventiOn, held at Cincinnati, on the
first Of May, embody the fundamental
principles which the Democratic Electors
of the State Of Wisconsin cordially in
dorse, and that they cheerfuIly acqui-
esce in the regulation to the people Of
the several States of the political ques-
tiOns, upon which that convention ex-
pressed no opinion, aud that the expo
sitiOn and elucidatiOn Of the platform
Of the Cincinnati Convention by Horace
Greeley, in his letter of acceptance of
the nomination for President, furnish a
satisfactory assurance to the American
people that he will, if elected, adminis-
ter the government upon the princi-
pies in that platform; therefore, in
devotion to the principle waiving
other preference for men, and believing
that the approval of the nominees of the
Cincinnati Convention is a sure mode Of
obtaining the triumph and ascendaney
of those principles. We approve the
same, and recommend that our delegates
to the Baltimore Convention do Tatify
the action Of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton.
The nomination of electors was post
poned for the purpose of fusing with the
Liberal Republicans.

ARKANSAS.
A Proper Candidate for GubernatOrial
HonOrs.
HErENA- NIav o5- !

HELENA, May 25, lS72.
EDITORS APPEAL Your excellent
paper has so large a circulation in our
State that We almost claim it as one Of
our own Journals. As this is the case, !
have thought you would not object to
allowing me 10 make a suggestion
through your columns to the Liberal
Republicans Of Arkansas. They have
called a convention, 70 meet on the
eighteenth OF June, to nominate a ticket
for State officers, and they are very
much perpleXed about a candidate for
Governor. As a Democrat, / suppose l
shall have to vote with them if they put
up men that we can support. They may
mink II in 1ertiuent for any advice to
he given from our side, but We shall fur
nish large share Of the votes, and we
have as much interest as they have in
having good men. / have not heard any
name mentioned which would be ac-
ceptabie, but if they would nominate
DIR. A. I. Shaw, of Cross county, whom
L formerly knew when he lived in Mem
phis, we could not complain that they
had not given us a candidate Of eminent
ability and irrepTO8chable character.
The objection to DIR. Shaw is that he
has lived in the State only two wears, or
about that time, if l remember right. !
But he has owned property in Arkansas |
for more than six years. About three
years ago be became a large landholder /
IN the State, and his interests have all /
been identified with those of Arkansas. |
he has written much TO call the atten- /
ton Of emigTants and capitalists to the
advantages Of the State, and has taken I
great pains 20 inform himself about /
all state matters and affairs. Re-
publlcans cannot object to him, /
because he has been known as
a very bold Republican in Memphis |
ever since the war. He gave all the |
character that il ever had to the Post |
while il existed, and you Democratic /
editors know better than do how ably /
he wrote, yet you We're compelled to ac- 4
knowledge that be was a fair and hon !
Orable opponent. No man in the South \
west is better informed on almost all |
subjects.
/ do not believe the Liberals have any
better man to present TO us than DR.. I
shaw, and il all Democrats knew him |
as well as l learned to know him by
living nearly six months in the same
house, they would not wish 20 90 fur
ther and perhaps fare worse. R. G. B.

THE NEW YORK DRY GOODSMARKET
--LATEST REPORT BY rELEGRAPH.l

New YORK, June 13.-To-day there
was rather a better demand for cotton
checks, owing to the season, and ging-
hams were fairly in request. Other
makes are dull. Printing cloths remain
the same. Prints are in light demand,
and brown sheetings and shirtings are
firmer, owing to the comparatively
small stock in first hands. Bleached
sheetings and shirtings are stationary,
and appear to have been checked in
their downward tendency; Hips 36-ineh
are quoted at Is. The stock of fiannels
is light, and orders are taken on private
terms. ClOthing-woOlens have advanced
2 per cent. in Philadelphia, owing to
Western dealers refusing to sell and
little coming in. Standard wOolens sold
well; in fact, these goods are at stand
ard figures; but cassimeres and that
class are not so brisk. At auction for
eign goods sold at reduced figures bur
rent.

may use the same power (by precedent

questioned him. He stated that his
name was Richard +. Jones, that he
was from Prince George county, Mary

manded that he should be telegraphed

had whipped the President who ought
to be ousted and the Pope of Rome put
in his place. He was arrested.
