The democratic State convention oil
Ohio was held yesterday. There was 10
trouble about the candidate to be nomlna-
ted for Governor, old Bill Allen being the
fayorite because he has good lungs. But
the platform has been for some time an
anxious subject, over which the democrat
ic newspapers have agonized and fought
with energy and bitterness.

The difference between the republican
State convention at Portland and demo-
cratic State conventions in general is this
The republican convention cast less
number of votes than there were delegates
present, while democratic conventions
usually cast mere votes than they have
delegates. A democratic convention is
sure to put votes enough in the hat TO
make the report look well on paper.
People can judge from this which party
is the honest one which believes in stuff
fing hats and ballot-boxes, and which does
not.

Of army and designated Burnside ms
his successor. Such piece of news fell
with the suddenness of thunderbolt on
these two officers, whom an old and close
frienship united; but the latter alone
showed any emotion at the order when
imposed on him u responsibility to which
he had never aspired. After Mcclellan
had read the dispatch, without any visl-
bic feeling, he passed it to Burnside, sim,
ply saving, You command the army.
Burnside resisted for some time. All his
friends and his former chef pressed him
TO accent: they overcame his scruples,
which the future was unhappily destined
to Justify. On the morning OF the 9Th the
Army OF the Potomac learned with as
tonishment and grief that it had lost the
chief who had formed it, who had first led
il TO battle, who had shown it the steeples
of Richmond, who on the morrow OF
great disaster had restored it to confidence
IN itself, and who at length had just con-
Quoted it to victory. We will not here
Judge the military career Of General Nc
Clellan. Despite our sincerity, the read
er would see in such an appreciation the
reflection of our sentiments OF profound
gatitudo and of faithful friendship for
our former chief; but each can form his
judgment in accordance with the facts
which we have impartially recounted.
We only state that the authorities at
Washington took every kind of precau-
ton to prevent the soldiers of the Army
of the Potomac from given to Mcclellan
proofs OF their sympathy, which would
have been too severe criticism OF their
decision, and that the news of his depart
ure caused universal joy among the adj

occupies a cell on the east end.
In the dav time he has the liberty of
the hall, with the other male patients,
and when there is work for him at
grubbing or digging he is quiet, but al
ways looking for chance to escape.
When his raving fits come on he will
kick his window sash and cell fixtures to
pieces with celebrity that is usual to
first-class lunatics, and make things fly in
Il manner to astonish all not familiar
with that class of animals. AS soon as
Whistling Cases is locked in his cell he
inserts his bent forefinger in his Capa-
cious mouth, and with the aid of power
full pair of lungs produces the shrill and
resonant blasts that pierce the surround
ing mile of space. His open window per
permeate the air and pierce the tired
ears of all who are within lis sound. On
the approach of the street-cars on Wall
street the lunatic stops whistling and
launches out into an address for the
benefit of the passengers, but his in
coherent language is untranslatable.
Then he resumes his note, and keeps up
his usual succession of whistles, as many
as thirty or more per minute. 1t is eX-
planned that the burglar, on the eve of
his last robbery, gave similar whistle
as signal to his confederate, who failed
to respond, and he fancies in his crazy
mood that he is again signaling mis- pal
of SO many years ago. 1t is a singular
case, and no measures have been found
to stop that diabolical whistle.

And the other name they called her
Was the prettier one Of Grace.

Laughed and laughed with all her might
Looking up into her dress-sleeve,
Eyes and nose all hid from sight.
Mamma said, why, what's the matter?
Is it real or make believe
All this fun?' The baby answered.:

Little thinking baby prattle
Would repeat them DER in play
With such literal translation.
