Tho OAio Campaign.

The Democratic convention held
at Columbus June 18th is said to
have been the most enthusiastic ever
held in the State. \ platform was
adopted with entire unanimitv, en-
bodying a pledge to preserve and
support the public school fund and
a financial policy was adopted which
protests against the
locking up.ef the greenbacks by the
government aud the contraction OF
she currency. The policy OF the he
publican party has bsen most deci-
ded failure in this respect. They
proposed to enhance the value OF,
the paper dollar, but instead OF
that as currency has become scarce
lis value has decreased. \ paper
dollar, Sith gold at LII does not
bring as much as it did with gold at
lip.

amounting to several hundred thous-
and dollars, to be divided between

BOOK NOTICES.

We have received from the mana
gers, copy of the Report Of the
Commissioners of the Fifth Indus.
trial Exposition at Cincinnati, and of
the Premium list and Rules of the
Sixth Exposition. The report of the
Commissioners is pamphlet Of $40
pages and contains very interesting
account of important tests of mo
chinery, Steam Engines, &C., which
are of great interest to Engineers,
Machinists, &c.
The people OF Cincinnati rightly
appreciate their own interests and
those of their city when they take
these liberal measures for the keep
ing up and making more and more
efficient this annual exposition of the
arts, sciences and manufactures. We
hope the exposition this year will be
as complete success as it was last,
and that the city may reap great adj
vantages therefrom. We will notice
at some future time the Premium
List.

KAYAwHA RIVER IMPROVEMENT
Colonel W. ?. Craighill, engineer in
charge of the Kanawha River improve
ments, has advertised for bids for the con.
s,ruc,ion of the first lock in the series Of
locks and dams on Kanawha river, TO be
built BY the General Government. Plans
and specifications may be had by address
ing Colonel Craighill, at Baltimore. The
award will be made July 22d, and work
commenced promptly thereafter. We
lesrn that the first lock will be located
near Brownstown. The construction Of
the second lock will be commenced this
season, but its location has not yet been
determined. The prosecution OF work
upon the Kanawha will give renewed life
to the business in the Valley. Aside
from the benefits 70 follow the employ
ment OF a large number OF laborers, here
tofore idle, and the expenditure OF con-
siderable sum bot money 100000 itcannot
be doubted that the commencement OF the
Government work will encourage other
enterprises connected with our mineral
resources and dependent for success upon
the assurance of improved navigation
When the public sees the Government
actually engaged in building locks and
dams upon the river, the capital needed
10 develop Kauawha coal, salt, and iron
will soon be forthcoming.-Chur, Courier.
