state Convention.

This body will meet at Jefferson
City next Wednesday. One of It's
duties will he the selection of Presi-
dental electors. The performance Of
this duty will produce but, little stir
in the convention, as the Democracy
of the State were never more united
IN any question than on the support
Of Greeley aud Brown.
There will be nothing to awaken
into activity conflicting interests, and
consequently but little excitement or
interest save that which arises from
the personal ambition of rival aspir-
ants for the honor of castin. the vote
Of Missouri. This will produce 10
serious discussion.
Tho most important duty which
the convention will be called OIL to
perform, and the II which will elicit
the strongest feeling, will be the
nomination Of candidate for Gov.
ernor. 1t 10 from this contest alone
that any disturbance 10 o be- appre.
hended. 1t 10 to be regretted that for
some time pat 4 bitter" newspaper

factions Of two prominent candidates.
Wilson and Rollins. Both of these
gentlemen have gathered around
them political combinations, which
by persistent efforts in pushing tn.
claims Of their respective candidates
threaten not only to disturb the har.
mohy Of the convention, but t.

will. II 10 the duty of the delegate

the State. 1t should he the peoples

by politicians. The latter gentry,
ever active, and always having III
view ssmc Interior object besides til,
welfare of the people, will be there to
cmbarrass the action Of the convcn-
tion. Delegates should steer clear OF
these rings and cliques, resist the
influences they bring to bear, and
select . maa for Governor who. relies
upon his eRn merits, and not upon
the pressuse brought to bear by hi
political friends, the success Of who's,

Her age was about IS years. Mrs.
Preston was III many respects a re-

first husband was Judge Rowley, of
Washington City, with whom she
lived many years in that city. during
the administrations of Monroe, John
Quincy Adams aud Jackson, and
where she associated with the first
circles of the capital.

hostile to the manufacturers, but friendly
to the consumer.
What the country greatly needs is the
breaking up of old lines, and the rear
rangement Of the voters in new associa
tons. Nothing remains at issue be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats,
but the malice which the conflict pro-
duced. If both parties were dissolved,
and their members redistributed and
confused together, this relic of the war
would find no resting place. They are
now held together by mutual antagon-
isms. The continuance of either per-
petuates both. The disintegration of
one dissolves the other. /, therefore,
most sincerely hope the Cincinnati Con.
vention will produce new National Orr
ganization, founded upon the principles
of Amnesty, Liberty and Reform; and
that, through its agency, the bitterness
of the past may be forgotten, National
Friendship revived, and the blessings of
Free Government dispensed to all peo-
pies in the land. Yours truly,
LEONARD SWEET.

Fighting Indians in Montana is evi.
IDENTITY an expensive luxury. The bill
for the expenses Of battalion of troops
which was raised by the Governor of
that Territory in 1867, for brief Indian
campaign, has just been sent in to the
General Government. The Inspector
General having examined the items, re.
ports some most astonishing facts.
Among the articles purchased for the
troops were tobacco at So. SO per pound,
tea $3.50 per pound, dried apples and
peaches so cents per pound, buffalo
robes $25, and whisky SIC per gallon.
The cost of the food for each horse was
50 per day, and the cost of clothing for
each man $2O7 besides his buffalo robe.
Before the accounts are audited the In.
spector General should not only ascer.
tain what sort of meats these high. priced
Caesars fed upon, but wherewithal they
were arrayed. The regimental appal ell
of the late James Fisk, Jr., on festive
days, could hardly have cqualed in COR.
geousness the $207 suits In which the
cavaliers of Montana chased the un.
breeched Indians over the plains. The
Government ought to know if when
Montana expects every man to do his
duty she expects him to do it in broad.
cloth, green kids, satin necktie, diamond
studs, monogram sleeve-buttons, silk
hats, and gold-headed canes. If so, it
would be more economical for the Gov
eminent to board Montana volunteers
and horses at some first-class hotel, and
send out regulars to do the work.
