The Ohio Democratic Convention.

The Democratic Convention at Columbus,
Ohio, nominated r. NJ. Bishop, of Cincin-
natl for Governor, on the sixth ballot j..
B. Fitch, of Cuyahoga, was nominated for
Lieutenant Governor, by reclamation. The
other State officers nominated were: Judge
of Supreme Court, J. W. Okey of Monroe !;
Clerk of Supreme Court Richard J. Fan
ming, the present deputy Attorney--Gen-
eral, Isaiah Pillars, Of Allen; State Treas
urer, Anthony Howells, of Stark; School
Commissioner, James K. Burns, of Belmont;
Member Board of Public Works, Martin
Schilder, of Ross.
The Committee on Resolutions submitted
the following, which were unanimously
adopted:
"'rhe Democratic party Of Ohio, in State
convention assembled, renews its pledge OF
devotion to the Union and the Constitution,
with all its amendments. 1t declares es-
sential to the preservation of free govern
ment the faithful adherence to the follow
ing principles: Strict adherence to the Con-
stitution home rule; the supremacy of the
civil over the military power; the separation
of Church and State; the equality of all
citizens before the law; the liberty of in
dividual actions, unvexed by sumptuary
laws; the absolute acquiescence in the law
fully expressed will of the majority opposi-
ton to all subsidies; the preservation OF the
public lands TO the use OF actual scttlcrs tHe
maintenance and perfecting of the common
school system.
First-Resolved, That we look upon the
Inauguration of r. b. Hayes to the high of
fee of President of the United States, in
spite of majority of the electoral and pop
ular vote given by the people to Samuel J.
Tilden, as the most dangerous encroach-
ment upon popular rights that has ever
been attempted in this or any other free
country. The preparation of fraud will not
be tolerated.
Second-That the destruction of the in
dustry of the country and the suspension of
labor are the inevitable fruits Of. the various
laws enacted by the Republican party.
"Third-That as means of relieving the
distressed of the community and removing
the great stringency complained of in bust
ness circles, we demand the immediate re-
peal of the resumption act.
Fourth--That we denounce as an outrage
upon the rights of the people the enactment
Of the Republican measure demonetizing
silver, and demand the passage of law
which shall restore to silver its monetary
power.
"Fifth--That we favor the retention of the
greenback currency, as the best paper money
we have ever had, and declare against any
further contraction.
"Sixth--We congratulate the country
upon the acceptance by the present admins

The Effects of Hallucination.

1t is curious to note the slight point
upon which a human hangs in the bal
anee of reason. Persons having all the
appearance of perfect sanity have been
known as suddenly as flash, to develop
traits of lunacy. In other instances, a
chance assumption of rank, kept up
from day to day, has marked II veritable
belief. The fiction worked upon the
brain until it became fact, most diff
cult to reconcile with Authorization.
A remarkable instance Of such mag
nation is recorded in the life of Curran,
the Irish barrister, who with his gay
companions, was in the habit of spend
a day in the Oakley Islands, and indulg-
ing in the frolic of electing a King Of
Oakley and the adjacent lslandsv A
gentleman of middle station in life, a
genial, whole-souled, and convivial man,
was elected to fill the throne. He en-
tered into the joke and enjoyed the
pastime. A journal was kept called the
Oakley Gazette, in which all public
proceedings were recorded, and which
was source eff constant amusement to
its supporters But at length the mock
pageantry, the affected loyalty and as
sumed homage began to tell upon and
ex lite the imagination of King john"
as he was styled. Fiction became real
ity and he fancied himself "every inch
a King" His family and friends, in dis
may and grief saw the delusion assume
such hold upon him that nothing could
shake it. He spoke on no other subject
save his Kingdom and its government,
and delighted to dwell on the various
projects he had formed for the benefit Of
his people. He never could divest him
self of his regal pomp, and exacted the
utmost Difference to his royal authority.
When his last hours drew nigh no res
turning CLEANS of reason broke upon his
mind; to the moment of his death he
believed himself King, and all his
cares were for his subjects. He spoke
in high terms of the officers of his mimic
court, recommending the care of his
kingdom to them until his successor was
chosen, and demeaned himself with
dignified calmness well becoming the
last hours of puissant monarch. When
he came to relinquish his crown, he said
with tears: 81 leave it to my people,
whom / have so loved" His feelings
were gratifed, up to his death, by
thinking of the good Of his fellow-crea-
lures, which seemed, in his madness as
in his saner rifle, to be prominent feature
of his disposition.

BUSINESS FAILURES.

Messrs. Dun, Barlow & Co, of the
Mercantile Agency, are promptly out
with their quarterly circular of bust
ness misfortunes in the United States
and Canada, from April to June 80,
to which they append tables for the first
six months of the year. The facts thus
authenticity presented are not reassur-
ing. The liquidations by bankruptcy
continue on a very large scale through
out the country, and, singular to say,
show no signs OF diminution in the
agricultural States of the West. For
the half year the great cities exhibit
somewhat contradictory reports. New
York falls off two millions, as COM
pared with the first half of 1876. The
Philadelphia bankruptcies have in
creased in number and amount. In st.
Louis, also, the amount runs up from a
million of dollars to three and a half
millions, and San Francisco from less
than two to nearly six millions. On the
other hand, the Rhode Island troubles
have fallen OIL from hive to two mil
lions, and Boston from seven and half
to two millions. The State of Massa-
chusetts outside of Boston is also doing
better. The City of Chicago shows an
improvement in amount, but not in the
number of failures. Cincinnati is
about stationary. The State of Mary
land, including Baltimore, shows an in
crease of failures over 1876 in amount,
but the number is about the same. The
aggregate in the United States is $780,
100000 in the six months of 1877,
against $40S, 400, 900 in the correspond
ing months of 1876. In the Dominion
of Canada there is sensible improve
ment, 81 10000 to $15, 100, 900 in 1876.

CENSUS or THE WORLD IN 1876.

CENSUS OF TIE World IN 1876.
The London Times recently published
an abstract of an account of the popula-
ton of the world, annually prepared by
Drs. Behn and Wagner, and published by
PeFthes, from which it appears that the
population in 1876 may be taken at l.,
423,9l7 900 of whom nearly one-fifth, or
800, 17S,C00 reside in Europe, and prob
ably 400,000,000, or less than third,
belong to the European civilizations.
Four-sevenths of the worlds people, or
S24, 900, 600, reside in Asia, and half
these are Chinese.
The population of America, natives in
cluded, in both divisions of the continent,
is only S5,000,000 of which we imagine
about half are pure blooded European
descent. The population of Africa, ar
rived at, of course, by more or less care
full guessing, is set down at 1873, 800, 600,
of whom scarcely one per centum can be
fairly set down as civilized men, and
little more than ten per centum are semi
civilized.
The Turkish Empire is estimated at
10000, 900, including 10000, 000in Egypt
and its dependencies, with Tunis and
Tripoli; but the population in Europe is
only 100000, and in Asia $4,000, 900.
Half the European population of Turkey
at least is Bulgarians, and if we add the
~ 81. 1. III. n
dominant class does notexceed one-fourth
of the whole, to whom the other three
fourths are sacrificed.

The Rev. DIR. Johnson, of Cambridge,
Mass, Professor Hoyey, of Newton, and
the Rev. DIR. Peirce have been appointed
a committee of Congregationalist,
Baptist, and Methodist ministers to
draft a law to be presented to the next
Massachusetts Legislature providing for
the appointment of teacher of moral
ity" to take the place of the present
prison chaplain. This officer will give
no sectarian instruction; all convicts
are to be required to attend regular
services conducted by him; any denom-
ination or sect to be allowed to hold SER
vices not interfering with the discipline
of the institution; and any convict to be
allowed such religious instruction, not
paid for by the State and not interior
ing with the prison discipline, as he may
desire. The drafting of the law was
intrusted to DIR. PIERCE.

TURNING A DESERT INTO A SEA. -

Scientific opinion in France is by no
means unanimous as to the desirability
of creating an inland sea in Algeria,
after the project brought forward by
Captain Roudaire, who has been
strongly supported by M. de Lesseps.
NJ. Dumas, the eminent chemist, and
M. Daubree, have urged several OBJ
jections to the scheme, and they agree
with M. Naudin, who read a paper ON
the subject at the last meeting of the
Academy of Sciences, that its sanitary
effects would be deplorable. They are
all three of opinion that to fill the shall
low basins of the region which it is pro-
posed to convert into a sea with salt
water would be equivalent to repro
ducing in Algeria all the worst features
of the Tuscan and Pontine marshes.
Captain Roudaire admits that even in
the center there would not be more than
eighty feet of water, and the whole
coast line would nave so little water
that it would be little better than a
sand bank, with an admixture of salt
and fresh water, upon which the strong
solar light and tropical heat would act
in the most deleterious manner for two
thirds of the year, causing rapid de-
composition of organic matter, and
spreading contagion for miles in every
direction. M. Naudin denies that there
is any similarity between this district
and Egypt, the climate of which coun-
try has been much improved by the
creation of the Suez Canal and the
plantation of trees; for, according to
him, while Egypt lies between two seas,
and is traversed by an immense river,
which has periodical overhows, the
Algerian district is far from the sea and
is bounded by arid deserts. M. Naudin
believes that the real remedy for i'm
proving this, the worst region in Africa,
will prove to be in the planting of trees
the Australian eucalyptus, if it can
be made to grow, or, failing that, the
ordinary trees and shrubs of the
country.
