The choice of E. ]. Pinney. to represent

the convention did not sustain. Samuel

nee of the convention.
Mr.. Woodbury. being called for, came
forward, and expressed the embarrass-
ment of his situation, and the feeling that
would lead him 70 instinctIYelY shrink
from the responsibility which an election
would impose. He could almost wish
that the honors of the position might fall
upon an older and more experienced
head. He, however. appreciated the
honor conferred, and the more highly
coming as it did from party whose his
tory was glorious one.
The occasion was not one for a sci
speech, and he concluded with pledge

ton of his ability and industry 10 the dis

Galveston Daily Mercury.

In last Wednesdays edition of this jour
nal Joseph II. Wilson, Esq, announces tia,
he has by purchase become its sole proprie.
tor and editor. Mr.. James H. Baker, who
formerly owned the Mercury had associated
with himself Mr.. Wilson in its editorial
management previous to the removal OF
that paper from Houston to Galveston, and
that connection continued until the recent
change in prop,ietorship. Under the joint
editorial management of Messre. Baker &
Wilson the Mercury maintained a moderate
and dignifed course in politics that won
for it the respect Of men Of all parties. In
the past that paper has not been partisan
in its character. Yet it has expressed a
preference for men aiming at high political
positions.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wilson's short
address to the patrons Of the Mercury and
the public generally he says:
As the wisest Of US know nothing Of the
future, will make no promises, leaving
generous public to form their own opinions
from the columns of the paper as they
peruse them from day to day.
We wish the Mercury abundant success
under its new management. Mr.. Wilson,
besides being a practical printer, is man
possessed of much talent, energy and ex-
perience in the conduct Of a paper. He
formerly published weekly literary paper
in this city. This was before the late war,
and, if we are not mistaken, its publication
was continued year or two after the war
had commenced. He was afterwards con-
nected with the New Orleans National
Republican.

stock company outside of Boston or New
York. He may have been intended for the
ministry, but nature made him great low
comedian. He received liberal education
in a printing Enthusiastically varying
the monotony Of type sticking by
little amateur acting. He learned
thoroughly the profess ion he finally adopted,
and has appeared in every grade Of comic
acting from end man of a minstrel troupe
of two men, to Billy Laekaday, and the
Graredigger in Hamlet" He has been
burlesque actor, manager, and star, and
was great favorite as first comedian at the

cradle musical ability, and gives great
promise for the future. Tonight she plays

Judge Meyers and the school Fund.

Judge Meyers and the School Fund.
Hon. E. L. Pierson, of Natchitoches, is
reported to have testified before the co.,
gress;onal committee to the following
effect:
I once charged Judge Meyers with hav-
ing embezzled the school fund; that may
have been one cause OF the bad feeling
existing toward me; l am now making in
designations regarding the missing school
funds.
Judge Meyers is treasurer fOr the school
board for the parish Of Natchitoches, but
we do not know how long he has held that
position. At present. however, and pre-
sumably during all the time he has been
treasurer, he appears to have settled up his
accounts, and satisfied the State Superin.
tendent that his official conduct has been
entirely regular. He yesterday exhibited
to our reporter his treasurer's book of &C.
counts, which is very neatly kept, showing
amount Of receipts and disbursements, the
persons to whom payments were made
being chiefly to teachers for services. This
book shows that the total receipts have been
something more than $50 GOO, and balance
on hand of about $1,000. The following re-
ceipt signed by Hon. w. G. Brown, is on
the balance sheet ct this book:

and extension of the public schools, ap-
proved April 9, 1873.

quite correct, for he is proverbially jealous
