The Hon. John Hinchcliffe.

Since the adjournment Of the Decatur
Convention, We have received large num-
Der Of letters from our correspoL dents,
regretting the non-success of the friends
OF the Hon. John Hinchcliffe, in securing
his nomination for Attorney General.
While no delegate labored more earnestly
OF honestly in his behalf than the writer
Of this paragraph, candor compels the ad-
mission that his defeat was secured by cir
cumstLnces entirely beyond control. The
determination of the Convention to pre-
sent, as far as possible, ticket which
should possess neither Republican nor
Democratic bias presented barrier to Mr..
Hinchcliffe's nomination, as a major
ity Of the geHtsmsn who had &C.
cured the indOEaen1ht of the Con-
vention previous y hls nomination had
heretofore acted with Democratic party.
Had Mr.. HinchclifFe's nomination been first
in order. we feel satisfied there would not
have been dissenting voice. We hope
ais explanation viii satisfy our friends.

The Real Estate Exchange of Indian
apolis, Ind, has been of late years sending
out circulars inviting workingman and
mechanics to come to that city, as work
was plenty, at high wages, and homes Sc
cured on easy terms. On the other hand,
it appears, that this institution has been
rushing men in for the purpose Of keeping
up rents and cutting down wages, by them
saying that the supply exceeds the de-
mand, and instead Of high wages they re-
ceived low, and instead Of securing homes
on easy terms, they could not secure them
at any terms, on account of the binding
and high terms.

A FEW days since Belknap was driven
from the Cabinet for having sold post
traderships; a week afterwards John Sher-
man oshvered a special plea for national
banks IN the United States Senate. and
ouiilon papers aPplauded him. John
Sherman as a bank officer, has committed
worse CRIME against the people than Bel
KNAPP ever did. There is no evidence that
Belknap ever stole dollar from the people.
National banks steal twenty millions .

ficials to take care that their plundering
schemes snail not be interfered with.
When the people will condemn a national
bank thief as quickly as they have con-
demned Cabinet officer for selling trade
permits, there will be some hope for a re-
form in the government; but not before.
The hypocrisy which condemns Belknap
and upholds Sherman is contemplate in
the extreme.

Senator Christiancy's Marriage.

The most interesting topic of converse
ton at the capital TO day was the marriage
this morning of Senator Christiancy, of
Michigan, to Miss Lille Lugenbeel, of the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing Of the
Treasury Department. The marriage took
place at the boarding place of the young
tadv, where the Senator resides, and was q
yery quiet affair, the ceremony being per-
formed by the Rev. DR.. Sunderland, and
witnessed by very few persons. Senator
Ferry, who was the only Senator present,
officiated as groomsman, with Miss Belle
Linthicum as bridesmaid. After the
wedding the couple took the cars
for New York, where they will pass
the first halcyon days Of the honeymoon.
The Senator, who has now reached the age
of sixty four, lost his wife about nine
months since. He is the father OF six chill
dren. His bride is q blonde, quite pretty,
and about twenty years OF age. Their
ccurtship was quite brief, lasting but few
weeks, the Senator having met his fate only
since the present session of Congress.
When the name of Mr.. Christiancy was
read, in calling the roll of the Senate this
afternoon, Mr.. Ferry, president pro tenn,
said, with sly twinkle: II desire to state
that my colleague is paired" +" remark which
created general laughter all over the
chamber. That the uninitiated may appre-
ciate the joke, it may be stated that it is
customary in the Senate when member
wishes to be absent when q vote is taken to
pair off with some member on the opposite
side who will not vote, so that his side may
not lose BY his Absence Washington Cor

Personal.

Il will be remembered that come months
since Colonel Jack kerrigan, State tax col
lector fer the parish Of S.. James, was
charged by the Auditor with willtully with
holding public money, as he had been neg
ligent in making settlements. Satisfactory
settlements and explanations were eubse-
auently made, and nolle prosequi was en-
tered and ended the suit. Colonel Kerrigan
has since also made full settlements with
the parish authorities of st. james. freeing
himself from liability. Of course this IS
nothing more than he should do, but it is
something in these days to cay a man does
his duty

Straight Travel.

We are gratitied to see that the the new
railroad route via Mobile, Montgomery and
Louisville has secured the services of
Colonel Dan Wilson as general passenger
agent at this terminus.
We congratulate the route on this ex-
cellent strategy, and condole with all oom-
peting lines in the same proportion. Com
ing as many travellers now 90 from foreign
lands, and wholly ignorant Of our language
as many of them are, single look into the
guileless and genial countenance of Colonel
Dan will make them implicitly intrust
their itinerant destines to his guidance. A
few minutes conversation with his own
countrymen, a few graphic anecdotes of the
blue birds, will convince them that the Mo-
bile, Montgomery and Louisville route is
higher, drier, safer, faster, with less dust
and disaster, with better eating and straiter
whisky than any other in the United States.
