FROM the Sturgis, Mich, Weekly: Mr.
John Brast, living in Sherman town
ship, informed us few days ago that
his feet had been so terribly frost-bitten
that he could hardly stand the pains
cansed thereby. He happened to think
of ST. JACOBS On-which he always
keeps handy-rubbed his feet twice with
the remedy, and the pain disappeared
entirely. He not only values st. Jacobs
Oil as an unexcelled remedy for great
many other painful diseases, to which
mankind is subject, but ne also asserts
that it is really invaluable for the many

FIRST BALLOT:

There being no choice a motion was
made to nominate Mr.. DeWolf by accla-
nation by suspending the rules. This
was defeated by standing vote, as was
also similar motion in favor of Mr..
Perkins. The name of Mr.. Boyd was
withdrawn and the Chair ordered an
other call. Before the call had been
concluded rapid change of votes was
made from the other candidates to Per-
kins and DeWolfin in about an equal ra-
ito. The names of Mr.. Eberly and Pro-
fessor Ogden were withdrawn. The
changes were being made about twenty
at a time, and the thing became very
confusing. Objections were made to
further changes under the rule, and the
Chair announced the result of the

THE exodus investigation, which has
just come to an end at Washington, has
cost the country about forty thousand
dollars. 1t was originally called for by
Senator VOORHEES, to prove that the Re-
publicans were engaged in scheme to
colonize Indiana with negro voters; but
it has resulted in proving beyond all
question that the exodus was caused by
Democratic intolerance at the South.
Forty thousand dollars is pretty big
sum, however, to pay for stale news.

SECOND BALLOT.

When the result Of the ballot was an
nounced there was lively racket and a
general crowding about the stage. 1t be-
came evident that the contest was
narrowing down to Townsend and Don
aldson, and their friends yelled out in
the most bOisterous manner, the latter
being in the ascendancy for enthusiasm
and demonstration. An attempt was
made to suspend the rules and nominate
Donaldson by acclamatiOn, but this fail
ed. The names of RukenbrOd, Cope and
Wildes were then withdrawn, and this
created great stir, it being evident that
the friends of other candidates were
combining against Donoldson. During
the next call of the counties, after the
80 votes of Cuyahoga came in solid for
Townsend there was an effort to get the
solid vote of Hamilton county for Dom
aldsOn and an unpleasant little episode
took place in the consultation of that
delegation, which finally gave Donald
son AZ of its SO votes. There was great in
terest taken in the call of the counties
to see which way the votes of the with
drawn candidates" would 60.
THE THIRD BALLOT
was finally completed at it was found
that Major Townsend had the requisite
majority. The vote stood: Townsend
367, Donaldson 216, and Smith 81, but it
was not announced. 1t required 1856 for
choice and Townsend had 81 votes
more than a majority.
When the Chair was about to An
nounce the result of the ballot Major
Gully, of Defiance, took the platform and
kindly thanked the friends of Captain
Donaldson for the pluck they had
shown in sticking to him. He then
withdrew the name of Captain Donald
son, and the nomination of Major Town
send was declared unanimous amid the
greatest demonstrations of enthusiasm

Major Townsend was then called out
for speech and he was received with
great enthusiasm. Thanking the Con-
vention for the honor conferred upon
him and pledging that he would do all n
his power for the success of the ticket he
retired. The breyity of the speech,
which was delivered after six o'clock,
when all were anxious to get through,
and the grace with which the speaker
acknowledged himself to the delegates
to be their humble servant, caught the
audience and Major Townsend was
loudly applauded as he retired from the
stage.
