that General L. Sewell will deliver an ad-

meeting next Wednesday evening. His re-
marks will be based on the eighth article of

A RAvIsHED MAIL BAG.-One of the mail
bags dispatched on the Mobile train on the
seventh instant by some mysterious man
ner was slipped from the car about two
miles this side OF Mobile, and the contents
overhauled by wicked hands. Some boys
strolling along the track discovered loose
letters, and in hunting for more found the
pouch which had been cut open. The re-
mainder we're sent back to this city, where
it was discovered that nearly all the letters
that could be deciphered were directed to
foreign places. Some of the letters were 81
soiled by water that nothing could be made
of them. All that were plain were at once
sent on their way by Postmaster Parker.
As yet there is no clue pointing to the per-
petrstors, but efforts will be made to solve
the mystery. Persons who forwarded let
ters before the seventh can call on the post
master for further particulars.

The w eston Democrat talks very
sensibly on the question eff capital re-
moval 1t says:
We hope the Legislature will have the
good sense to let the capital question
alone this winter. Already the useful
ness of two sessions has in a great
measure been destroyed with this vexed
question, and the people are in no mood
to have the coming session trlttered
away in the same manner. Ample sc-
commodations have been provided by
the citizens of Wheeling-withOut cost
TO the State-tor the Legislature
and State officers, and the capt.
tai should be allowed TO remain
where 1t is until the State is sufficiently
developed to determine Satisfactorily
where a permanent location should be
made, and tie finances Of the State justify
the erection OF such buildings as the
dignity of the State requires for perms-
nent Capitol buildings. Besides, We are
opposed 10 the Capital question infuenc-
ing IN any manner the election OF Unite /
States Senators. We want on this ques-
tion lair and square fight, without any
side issues.

Presidential elector in Oregon was taken
up and discussed by Messrs. Mitchell,
Morton and Bogy. The latter IN the
the course OF his remarks, said he did
not think it proper now to vindcate the
conduc: OF the dove nor OF Oregon. In
his Bogy'sl estimation the Governor did
his duty honestly and with hdelIty. How
could il be said that Watts was elected
when the Constitution said he could not
be elected. lfthc Governor had certified
that he was elected he would have certi-
lied TO talsehood and the votes tor him
were nulity. Gov. Grover was de
nounced for simply doing his duty.
