LOUISVILLE CONVENTION.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. }.
The National Democratic Convention met
to-day in the Common Pleas Court Room of the
Court House. Previous to and during the as
sembling OF the delegates, the Second Repi-
ment National Band Of Philadelphia PLAYED
various airs.
AT ABOUT o'clock Col. Duncan called the
Convention to order. Rev. DIR. Platt addressed
the Throne OF Grace in pra. er for concord and
throughout the land.
Duncan moved that VIM. NJ. Ferry, of Mich
gan, be appointed temporary Secretary, which
was carried.
Spaulding, Of New York, presc nted a sealed
letter from Charles o Conor. Three rousing
cheers were then given, which were repeatc d
for o'Conor. Spautding handed it to the Chair
Mr.. O'Connor's name being presented as a
candidate for the Presidency, he peremptorily
declined.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 4.
The Convention was quite full to-day. Itris
generally under stood that O'Comor's nomina-
ton is determined upon with his own letter and
record as the only platform of princiDles-
Members say they are holling him bOnnd to
permit the use of his name to give practical
force 10 their protest against the Baltimore Goa
litDn and the surrender of Democratic prin-
ciples.
Charles O'Connor was: nominated by accla-
IN stion.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. q.
Ohio cast four votes for Pendlcton and refused
nous.
George Francis Train made some protests,
Duncan saying he was there by courtesy and
not as a delega,e, he was expelled amid great
Kissing.
amid confusion the Chair announced the
vote O'Conner 600 Pendleton t.
A letter was read from John Quincy Adams
announcing that he would support O'Connor
ana accepting the second place. Adams was
dominated Vice president upon the, third bal
lot.

Mr. Mast and the Germans.

The Radical Press claim that their az
fist, Mr.. Mast, displays great genius i'll the
caricatures that form so large part OF the
political stock in trade in the pending cam
paign.
This may be SO. We do not profess to
be at all proficient in the line of art Mr.
Mast has selected as best fitted for the dis
play of his peculiar genius; but notwith-
standing this, it may be permissible for us
to entertain and cypress our old-fashioned
opinion as to the common sense and dis
cretion displayed in these efforts of genius
upon which Mr.. Mast and his Radical
friends pride themselves so much.
For instance, in one of his cartoons Mr..
Mast depicts the body of a jackass, with an
unmistakable characteristic face and head
of German, with the following words
written underneath; g. What we most fear
in German is hia heels" Now there may
be genius in all this, ana there may be art
in it. 1t may be that no one not an artist
could depict with so much accuracy and
faithful precision the body of a jackass,
and it may be that no one not genius
would have conceived the idea of affixing
thereto the characteristic lineaments of that
unmistakable German head. These things
may be so, bat we cannot see it.
One thing, however, We assert with con-
fidence. that before Mr.. Mast and his Rad
ical friends quarreled with Senator SCHURz
and GRAFT Brown, no man ever main
tanned that German had less force in his
head than in his heels. The splendor of

the Hotels, especially in the small towns.
As general rule, to which there are some
splendid exceptions, the guest is treated to
the plainest and toughest fare badly cook
ed, to dirty room, a slat-bottomed chair
shuck mattress, a rickety bedstead,
ominous of company, turpentine soap, no
brush or comb, great scarcity of water,
no servant within call, ten-by-twelve
towel-the whole establishment wearing
most forbidding aspect, imparting a feeling
OF chilling discomfort, and for this he is
charged more frequently than otherwise
three dollars a day, or nearly as much as
he would be required to pay at first-class
hotel in the City of New York. Were the
correspondents of the press to do their
duty this evil might, in some measure, be
remedied.
Only two classes of persons are fit to
keep hotels. First, those who have been
born and reared gentlemen, who have been
| accustomed to the refinements of life,
know what gentlemen require, and supply
it accordingly. Secondly, those who have
| been educated to the business, and know
its requirements, as a workman does his
trade. But the misfortune is that oul
hotels frequently fall into the hands OF
men who do not belong to either Of those
classes and who have no conception what
ever of the duties incumbent upon them
But newspaper readers are not fond O
long letters and therefore l will reserve

mountains, and of Asheville and its sur

The civilized world will rejoice that the
fire which threatened the total destruction
of the Cathedral of Canterbury was sub
dued, doing but little damage to this grand
historic edifice.
The oldest part of the present Cathedral
was built in 4S, but it stands on the site
of the Cathedl al anciently founded by st.
Augustine, in 5S7. 1t is especially re-
nowned by being associated with the first
establishment of Christianity in England.
Within its walls Thomas A'Becket was
murdered by the followers of Henry ii. and
at the shrine Of the sainted martyr, for
centuries, devotees from all parts Of Europe
have paid their devotiOns.
There is no building mole Intimately OF
proudly connected with the history OF
England, and its destruction would have
been a loss to the whole world.
| The damages will be speedily repaired
| and the sacred adornments of the edifice
will again be restored.

WESTERN North CAROLINA,
September I'd. 1872.

DeoT JOrrHdi: In August and Septem-
Der of 1870 and 1871 | had the honor of
appearing i'll your columns, through the
medium of communications, from the Al
legbany (Va.) Springs, and not wishing
your readers TO forget me, | propose now
to renew the acquaintance.
1mpcllcd by curiosity, as well as by a
desire TO test the accuracy OF much that l
had heard and read respecting the North
Carolina mountains, l closed my office on
the 18th ult. and took the cars for Ash
Vile.
Correspondents from places Of Summer
resort may be divided into two classes
First, the attaches Of the press, who are
generally treated with extra consideration
sometimes put on the free-lst, and always
expected ny ''mine host to puff the place
and it's surroundings, and all things that
are his. Secondly, these who pay as they
go, who write, principally, to while away
an hour, and are under no obligation, ex-
press or implied, to represent matters
otherwise than as they really are. But
even these last err from too much leniency,
and paint most of their pictures in rose
colored tints. Indeed, nothing can be
more rare than to find one who speaks pre-
cisely as he thinks. The diary of Pepyss
is the only instance that now occurs
to me of any English writer who
gives expression to his actual thoughts,
and he, poor fellow, wrote in
CIPHER, fondiy hoping that he had left only
a puzzle to posterity, but curiosity and re-
search discovered his secret. The best
satie ever puolisI Cd, upon the insinceIi
and hypocrisy Of the daily walk and
speech of worldly people, and all are world
ly, is by Scotch Professor entitled,
% Thinks 1 to Myself" 1t is now out Of
print. But often when hear the talk of
men, or read the glowing oulogiUIns Of c. T.
respondents, find myself repeating the
words, but yoq may lest assured, in a
wholly inaudible voice, " Think to my
self, that's -"
If discretion is the better part of valor,
correspondents of the press follow a safe
rule in giving favorable reports of resorts
which they visit. Although the public may
thereby suffer, and many may be misled,
for were they to describe truly things as
they are met with, assuredly they might
not venture second time to the same
place. But the truth ought to be told, or
silence maintained, and in the two or three
letters which L propose TO write, [ will
adopt this principle ) '''':

was wilson "a Kmow-Noti.ips

Tie Vice rcsidcntial candidate on the
Radical ticket has a tough time in getting
out Of his falsehools. The way of the
transgrossor is hard. So'ne writer, whose
memory is rather Annoying to Senator
Wilson, is giving the complexion Of the
Massachusetts, Legislature which elected
him TO the United States Senate in Janu-
airy, 1850. The agh0Ie Senate was com
posed Of Known othings, and the House
was composed Of three hundred and fifty
four Known othings, seven Wings, one
Democrat and one Republican. Such a
Legislature, in the month Of January, 1855,
by concurrent vote, elected Henry Wilson
Senator.
1t may do very well for General Wilson
to deny to the Germans at distance his
old record, but honest people everywhere
1fsfW ~ t4:t such denials are false

Probable War Between Russia and
China.

4 letter from St Petersburg in the S. ele-
siSchc Zciung says that Russia is prepar-
ing for war with China. The territory
If KouldscIia, on the Western frontier of
the latter country, was, as is known, occu-
pied by the Russian troops last year, and
China now intends to regain possession of
it. The Mohamnedan population, how
ever, are hostile to the Chinese Gov
ernment and they have declared they
will put to death any Chinese official
who appears in the country. This would,
of course, lead to q conflict, in Which Rus
STA will doubtless take the part Of Kould-
scha against its so~cailed oIpressors. The
Government at I'ekin seems to be already
anticipating such a contingency, for it is
building iron-clads and employing fifteen
hundred men daily in the preparation of
guLs and ammunition, and has sent agents
among the Russian khiIgis to induce them
to resume their old allegiance to China.

The WiImin gtOn, Charlotte and Ruth
erfOrd Railroad Depot.

The Charlotte Democrat is in error in
supposing that the Wilmington, Charlotte
aud Rutherford Railroad Company is erect
ing a grand, "magpifcent depot building
at Wilmington. Quite the contrary. It is
plain and cheap, but substantial building,
estimated cost about two thousand five
hundred dollars planned with rigid re-
gard to economy. and has been, for years
needed to preserve the cars and engines
from being WaIped and damaged by ex-
posure to the burning sun, and from
injury and decay by rains and storms.
The necessity for such building was, in
fact, imperative. Strange to say, the pas
senger coaches, engines and cars remaining
here from Saturday to Monday, the year
round, have never yet had a shelter; nor
mas there ever yet been any passenger
room, not even a shelter from rains, nor
any suitable ticket Office. No, it is not
extravaganza, but ecoaOney-and good
economy, too-which requires this struc-
ture.

WILMINGTON. n. g.:
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1872.

IT HAS been asserted, upon good author
ity, that "ReIigious Excursion" was sent
from Washington City to this State a few
days previous to our election, composed OF
some eight hundred negro men, and it was
alleged that these eNcursionists voted. The
statement, however, was denied by the
Radical papers. But the denial is now
met by the fact that the Liberal Kepubil-
can Committee in Washington has now in
its possession the affidavits of over fifty
coIored men who voted III this State at the
last election. Hundreds more of like doc
nments can be procured if necessary.
Yet, the Radical organ of Governor
Caldwell, in the face of these acknowledged
frauds, invokes the power of the bayonet
in case Merrimon contests CaldWell's right
to be inaugurated as Governor of the
State. We shall see.
