Declines to Investigate.

CHICAGO, August 2l.-The Committee
on Judiciary Of the City Council, TO
whom was referred the resolution OF the
Board OF Education asking Council 10
investigate charges against some men,
bers ot the Board in anonymous letters
read in Council, reported tonight that
the charges were so indefinite that, the
committee consider it unnecessary, futile
and undesirable TO investigate them,
The only specific charge ia that ring
existed in the Board. This allegation
cannot be proven or disproven by any
power in The hands OF the Council. 1t is
a matter for the courts 10 try and for the
professional reputation OF the members
10 bear. The anonymous charges re-
ferred TO are those made by Hanford and
others, which are the direct cause Of the
sullivan.H Hanford shooting tragedy:

The Democratic Delegates 20
ParkerSbuFG.

1t will be remembered that Uncle Johr
Boring at his Court House Convention
ton in May last, appointed two sOtS o.
delegates-yit: One to go to the State
Convention at Charleston, and the other
10 20 to the Congressional convention
whenever and wherever it may be held
A few choice spirits were appointed
10 attend both conventions, as, for
instance, Uncle John himself and
several Of his young lawyers. Col
OBrien was desirous TO open the
way for a much larger attendance,
but his efforts to that end were not ap'
preciated by Uncle John and the young
lawyers, and so the list was restricted tc
the following favored fcw:
Wilmington Diarict-J. ZoeCkler, Henry
Michel, r. G. Barr.
Madison-P. E. Zinn, VIM. Schramba
Oscar Burdatt.
Clay-E. G. Cracrait, &c. Anderson, J
o. Pendleton,
Union-Wm. Taylor, Chas. H. Deiters
John W. Boring.
Centrc-W. L. IIearn, Jas. ". Sweeney,
P. Roneberger.

Frank Smith, Tom Darrah, John Fl

John Lashley, Philo Kimberly, Jas. NJ
Ewing.
These delegates arc generally supposed
10 have been elected in the interest o
Mr.. Good, and we presume they viii
vote for him without much, II any, divi
sion. Had Col. O'Brien's efforts beel
successful, to allow all Ohio count!
Democrats to attend the Convention
it is generally supposed that ou
neighbor Delaplaine would have char
tered boat or u train Of car
and given his friends a grand ex
curuion. That. Mt all events. WAS Wha
the young lawyers were afraid OF. I
was this vision OF "bar'l Of money" IA il
Tilden) that SO affrighted Hanson's i'm
agination when he made his speech OIL
the subject at Uncle Johns Convention
Hence, Uncle John, taking the hint from
the young lawyers and from Hanson
speech, would not permit any of Della
PLANES friends to attend the Congression
al Convention as delegates.

Yc,terday's Convention.

One OF the largest and most respeC'aDI'
conventions held in Ohio county TO
MANY years convened yesterday at th'
Court House. The list Of names compOs
iop the convention will be found in fuI
in our local columns, and they speak tol
themselves. Itis not often that as many
ssdinv men as we're there assembled yes
,erlay can be induced to turn out anu
yive day to county politics. They not
onIy turned out but they remained ~
.as.ion nj the Court House throughout
nearly the whole day, holding forenoon
and afternoon session, remaining on mana
until the close.
II wa. remarked yesterday that the
pooub,icans oil Wheeling seemed TO turn
~, we'll this year. The display Of inter-
w, in the canvass thus far has been
ane,pcc.ed, and, we may add, rather re.
m,rkablc. The interest in the proceed.
irr. Of the Convention on tho part OF the
op,.ide public was very noticeable. In.
deed, the Court House was packed to
.uch an extent that had the day not been
mite cool it would have been almost i'm.
ro..ible to proceed with the business.
Altogether It was esteemed as a most en-
coaraging omen Of success to see 80 many
delegates present and such a decided in
,ere,t on the part Of so many spectators.
The Republicans of Ohio county intend
to give the Democracy square fight this
fall on every count in the Indictment, In
cluling national, state, county and town.
shin tickets. The enthusiasm for Hayes
and Wheeler, Gotr and Scott, has COM
mauicateL i,selfto the local canvass, so
much 90, that even Young America has
caught the inspiration and fallen into the
ranks after the fashion Of the Wide Awake
times Of 1850.
OF the ticket nominated yesterday VIZ
can say that, taken as whole, it is
y,ry arcditAble, and presents an array OF
name, for the various ;oilices to be filled
such AZ should receive the support Of our
people at the polls in October next. We
we're free to say when our opponents
made their nominations Il few days ago
that they had presented Il fair ticket to
the public, a. regards personal respecta-
Jllity, and we are just az free to say this
morning that both tickets are in this res.
ypct above the average Of local nonina'
tons. The voters OF Ohio county have
therefore the satisfaction Of knowing in
advance that whoever they may choose TO
Gil their local offices this year,
they tthe yoters) are likely to be better
served by them than they have been on
many occasions in the past by their pub.
lie servants.

respected citizen Of Owen county, Rober

o'clock Saturday morning by a masked

citizens generally approving the law

The financial crisis in Portugal was
occasioned by the failure Of some banks
at Oporto, and is a revival Of the crisis
Of May last, when some weak banks were
assisted by stronger institutions, and
when the government also advanced
money. The bills which were discounted
for the weak banks have now run their
course, and as their position is unim-
proved, the stronger banks refuse to re-
new the bills. 1t is expected that the
large amount Of sovereignH, which has
gone from the Bank OF England, will re-
store conIiIlence.
