| COLUMBUS, May 2s.-The Democratic
State Central Committee and a few
Democratic politicians met here to-day
to consult upon the situation and fix 9
time for holding the State Convention.


General Darbin Ward offered the fol-
lowing:


Res0lred, That call be issued for a
State Convention of the Democratic
party, to be held in this city on the
seventh of August, to nominate State
ticket and Senatorial electors; that the
call shall invite all Liberal Republicans
and all opposed TO the reelection of
General Grant to take part in said con-
ventiOn; also, that conventions be held
in each Congressional district on the
nineteenth of June, in which Democrats
and all opposed to Grant shall cooperate
to elect delegates and alteTnates and four
delegates at large to the Baltimore Con-
vention, and that the elections of dele
gates at large shall be reported to the
State Central Committee, who shall
meet here on the twenty-sixth Of June
to couRt the votes cast by the respective
Congressional districts for delegates at
large, and the four persons having the
largest number of districts shall be dele
gates at large to Baltimore.


This first resolution was taken up and
warmly discussed.


General Ward stated that he had Of
fered this resolution so as to do away
with action in the State Convention
until it was known what had been
deemed best TO do at Baltimore. Indi-
vidually he was in favor of a straight
Democratic nomination at Baltimore,
and William S. Groesbeck was his first
choice. Some other members of the
committee may have been similarly in
clined, but no one else publicly expressed
themselves as in favor of a straight
Democratic nomination.


A motion was made to strike out that
part which invited Liberal Republicans
and anti-Grant men to cooperate, and
after an animated discussion the motion
to so amend and to lay the whole series
Of resolutions on the table was agreed to.


A motion was made that the cOnven-
ton nominating a State ticket and del
egates to Baltimore meet at Cleveland
June 9th. 1t was agreed to leave the
question of nominating an electoral
tieket.ssto the discretion of that conven-
ton.


Mr.. Ward moved to amend it so as to
provide that the language of the call of
the National Committee be added to it,
but this was voted down by eight to five.


While no formal action was taken, a
general willingness was expressed to
support Greeley heartily in case Balti-
more shall indorse his nomination, and
some prominent gentlemen expressed
themselves enthusiastically over such a
course.


The change Of place, in holding the
convention at Cleveland, has no politi-
cal significance, but is merely an eco
nOmical movement, a free hall and free
music being the incentives.

CHICAGO, May 2s.-In the Circuit
Court of Cook county, yesterday NOR
ming S. c. Judd as counsel for certain
members Of Christ (Episcopal( church,
filed bill in Chancery against the Rev.
Charles K. Cheney, pastor and trustee of
said church, praying for an injunction
restraining further giving Of the prop
erty and revenues of the parish to the
support Of the pastor, who has been de-
graded from his Office ia the church by
the Episcopal court. The object of the
application is said to be not for the pur-
pose of seizing the property, but to OBJ
tain a decision from the court as to
whether or not the property belongs to
the Protestant Episcopal church. NJ.
w. Fuller, as counsel for defendants,
asked for q postponement Of the case,
that the defense might have time to pre-
pare an answer or demurrer to the bill,
and preliminary hearing was finally
deferred until the eighteenth of June,
in the meantime the court has de-
elined to grant temporary injunction.

RAW BEEF For INvALIDs.-Among
the new food which medical science has
made available to prolonging life, is raw
beef Certain enfeebled constitutions will
not receive benefit from drugs; cod liver
oil, pepslne, ETC., are rejected by the
stomach or fail to support life, and the
patient wastes away for the want of nour.
ishment which ordinary food will not
supply. In such cases, raw beef frequently
becomes the only remedy In London and
Paris the number of consumptive patients
whose lives have been prolonged on the
raw beef diet is so great that all the prac.
teal physicians have adopted it as among
the most reliable of remedies The value
of this treatment is not unknown to Ameri.
can physicians, but the practice is less
common here than in Europe. The late
Secretary Rawlings iudulged in sanguine
hopes OF rebuilding his shattered constitu.
ton by adopting raw beef for his principle
food; for months he rapidly gained flesh
and strength, but during short journey,
attended by undue exposure in the ex.
treme heat of summer, be was prostrated
by hemorrhage, from which he never
rallied. 1t requires some ingenuity to
make this food palatable One mode is tc
chop the beef finely, season it with salt
and then heat it by placing the dish in
which it is contained in boiling water, thus
very slightly cooking it. A better one is
to pound the tenderloin thoroughly with an
iron pestle in mortar, then force
the crushed flesh through fine seive
thus separating it into the minutes1
particles. Thus prepared, put the meal
into hot beef soup, seasoned to the taste
and again pass soup and meat through
sieve, SO as to thoroughly assimilate the
two substances, while the flavor of the souI
alone will be recognized by the palate. Ii
this form the patient learns to yearn to-
his soup, and to like it as much as DIR
Kane did his Arctic dinners of raw sea
and walrus.

PARADOXIEs.- thrown into 4
red-hOt metallic vessel does not boil, as
we should expect, but quietly gathers
itself together, forming a more or less
perfect sphere, and in that condition
floats about gracefully on the surface as
il slowly evapOrates away. If at the
same timea very evapOriZable substance,
as liquid sulphuric acid is thrown in, the
water may actually be frozen in 4 red
hot vessel.


Water boiled in Z glass flask until the
upper part of the vessel is entirely filed
with steam, and then dexterously cOrsed
before air can gain admission and placed
in cold water, Tecommences to boil.
The boiling is produced by cold instead
of heat, and the experiment is known as
the culinary paradox.


If steam from boiling at 212 degrees is
passed into a solution of salt in water,
the temperature of the salt solution
steadily rises, passing two hundred and
twelve degrees, reaches the boiling point
of the solution, and finally the latter
also bOils at n temperament as high and
even higher than 80 degrees, according
to its nature. There we have the ex-
traordinary result of obtaining higher
temperature, say go degrees, from q
lower one viz: 2l2 degrees.

BOSTON, MASS. Nov. Q, 1873.
A most mysterious and terrible tragedy has been


developed in this city this afternoon the circum-
stances OF which are unparalleled among the null
tipcity OF revolving and strange crimes witch have


taken place in this vicinity recently. The victim.


the assassin and the motive are all unkn0wa. Up,


to this time, and In the absence OF such facts the
event mas caused considerable excitement. 1t


seems that between three and four 0'cOckths aiser


noon some OF the workmen employed In the gas


house at the foot OF Cambridge street discovered


large barrel had 1oated ashore along the banks
or the Charles River Thinking perhaps 1t con-


tained something valuable In liquids contra


band, they pulled 1t in and unpacked It, when they


were horri1ed and ast0nished at the discovery OF


two human legs and human head, the latter


being baldheaded and indicating that the victim


was about fifty years old. Fresh blood was drip
ping from the remnants Of the body, and every


thing seemed to indicate that death AMI
butchery had taken place within q very
few hours. While the workmen were engaged
In removing and caring for the repuIsfve
and sckening mass which they had found, a
ond barrel was seen III the stream, and upon being
brought ashore and opened It was found to contain
the rest of the body-the portion between the neck
and knees. The indications were tnat decaptation D
and amputation were performed with sharp
knife, for when the remains were placed together
in proper position they fitted perfectly and
nicely that the points OF separation could only be
discovered by the traces and ooziDg OF the blood.
None OF the clothing was missing except the
hat, and aside from small flesh wound
on the face, there was nothing to indi-
cate that there had been o struggle. Around
the body there was large rope which tad been
firmly tied, and upon the back, between the outside
and under shirt was gold watch and chain, which
apparently had been secreted there by either the
murdered man or his murderer. Aside from these
articles nothing else was found. The clothing
which he wore was OF the best quality and every

themselves ready to do battle with the ad-
herents of Gambrinus in the cause of virtue
and spring water, loudly proclaiming the su-
periority of Adams ale. They come solid


cohort to afford steady support to the cause
of virtue. We hope there is no wavering in
their ranks, as it would destroy faith
in spring water. Indeed, it might create
a suspicion that somehow the water was
liable to get mixed As the case at present
standsitis is pretty quarrel which promises to
complicate seriously the local politics of the
Garden City. The temperance men assert
that they will not cast vote for any man sus-
pected of growing only one hop, while the
German element declare war on pumps,
and will not have any man in Office who
is not able to dispose Of o reasonable
quantity of lager. Placed between these angry
factions the authorities, who naturally ore in
terested in the votes, are at their wits end to
compromise the matter but the rivals have
taken for their motto ''No Surrender" and
will fight the battle out to the bitter end An
effort will be made even to return temper
.ance Legislature. If this should be accom-
plished we do not see how lawmaking is to go
on. 1t is even now rather dry work, but with
out lager would become an intolerable bore.
The Liquor law in our city lends certain air
of responsibility and occurrences to the streets
on Sunday but beyond appearances it does
not help much the cause of sobriety, as the
police are ,astonishingly blind to the opera
tions OF the whiskey sellers. Unless the police
of Chicago are made of sterner stuff the same
results would be likely to follow the enforce
ment OF the rules against Sunday trading. We
cannot, then. see what good this organized
hypocrisy is likely to effect. II the gin-mills
are to be closed, but at liberty to trade, why,
say SO; but it is absurd to be passing laws for
the sake Of effect when there is no intention to
enforce them.

Doctor Frayser evidently intends to have
the first and the last word in the controver-
sy he has provoked with me about our Con-
gressional delegates.


In the STATE JOURNAL. Of last evening,
he says, "he (Anable) was not present at
the meeting of the Congressional committee
on the 18th day of May, and he is assured
by those who were present, that it was i'm
possible for him to find out anything about
It,"


So that was your game, was it working
In the dark. suppose the Doctor feels
quite sure that from the 10th of May to the
lst day of June, /, as secretary of the
Congressional Committee, could by no pos
sibility find out what that committee did.
A beautiful commentary this upon the fair
ness of that committee, or rather, | boldly
proclaim it a SANDER upon that committee.
Captain Maddox, one of the members who
| believe was present at said meeting, in.
formed me of its action, only day or two
after the meeting was held; besides, I
have written notice, dated the 10th day
of May, signed by j. M. Humphreys,
chairman, and VIM. T. Bailey, assistant
secretary, addressed to me as chairman of
the county committee, asking me to do Just
what hare done. and Just achat mean TO
stand By.


The Doctor says she should not have
felt complimented to have received the full
strength or vote of the convention under
the circumstances" Why did he spend
two full hours laboring with the delegates
to send him to the Congression convention?
Why did he recognize the legitimacy of the
convention by his presence and efforts to
direct its action ? This won't 'wash" Doc
tor. In conclusion the Doctor makes an
absurd effort to get himself into jacket
that he says does not fit, and which was
only intended for whoever it might fit. |
gave the Doctor credit for more shrewdness
than this.


How about your suggestion at the Brook
land meeting, to head the ticket with
Liberal Republican Ticket?" To our
ears this is an old familiar sound, and
smacks strongly of Walker or Cincinnati
Republicanism.


One word more: followed General
Grant from the /" Wilderness to Peters,
burg, the bloodiest campaign the world
ever saw, in which many brave man fell" !"
and from which many brave man fled;
and though yoa, and men like you, may
seek to poison the mind of the President
against me, | am too old soldier, and too
well disciplined to desert my old command
er now. SAINT L. ANABLE.

equally cheering; ana il is certain that
with active work between now and elec

For the promise in New Jersey we
refer to the Liberal Conference, yes
terday, in Jersey City. Leading Lib
eral Republicans and Democrats from
all the counties of New Jersey made
careful comparison of notes, and the
result was a clear conviction that, with
ordinary activity, nothing can with
draw from Greeley and Brown the
electoral vote OF that State. Leading
Germths declare chat 90 out Of every
100 German Democrats will vote for
Greeley and 20 out Of every 100 Ger
niau Republicans, proportion which
is sure to reyolntionize Newark and

counties the returns were less satisfac

the showing as a whole is in the high
