cjetIes, composed Of Irish fellow-citizcns, ssfor

A young daughter Of William Wall, residing

extinguishcd, her flesh was burned to q crisp,
end she could not long survive.
The Illinois Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioners, having been called upon for an
opinion in the matter, have officially stated
that reduction in favor OF all persons alike
who are sending articles for exhibition ut in
dustrial fairs would not seem to give any busi-
ness advantage to one person over another,
and therefore would not be an unjust discrim-
nation We quote: "The facts that these
articles are designed for exhibition at indus
trial fairs; that such fairs are matters Of pub
lie encouragement; that no one Is injuriously
affected by such reduction, and that all per-
sons sending this class Of articles are treated
alike, would seem to justify what would
otherwise, as between rival business men, be
prina facie evidence Of unjust discrimination.
When reduction does not pecuniarily injurc
any one, but on the contrary encourages the
industrial interests Of the country, and thus
accords with public policy II leaves, we think,
no good reason TO declare such reduction an
unjust discrimination. 1t is not mere dis

A Minneapolis Mimi dispatch Of the 2lst
says: "Since the adjournment Of the Rcpub-
Ican State Convention, facts have come TO
| light, proving that Washburn was nominated
ON the third formal ballot, by majority Of
| three over all. Four votes cast for Attorney
General on that ballot were intended for
Washburn, but throwing them out Of the
count, as they ought TO have been, instead OF
being counted scattering, Washburn still had
q majority of three. The knowledge OF
these facts Is creating o deep feeling
throughout the State, and the question
is whether under the circumstances,
Davis can afford 10 accept the nomination re-
ceivcd by mistake. The Tribune tomorrow
morning will ask that the nomination be
settled by the State Central Committee"
| A st. Louis dispatch of the 22d says the
cholera had abated at Louisiana, Mo-, but
some fifty persons altogether had died Of 1t
since 1t first broke out, including some Of the
most prominent citizens. In Praricvillc and
Troy the scourge ragged fearfully, the towns
being almost depopulated either by disease or
the people fleeing from their homes Out of
one family OF nine persons, In the former
place, all Of whom were well on the 18th, only
