The County Convention. But little nee^ be said of the. County Convention. It was entirely harmonious in it* deliberations and--presented a good ticket, one that gives general satisfiaction and will, with proper effort, be triumphantly elected. The nominees are wellknown citizens, many of them having previously made *uceewful canvassea and tilled important offices with credit to thenisel ves and their constituents. Those of them who have not thus served the public are gentlemen of character and intelligence, devoted to Republican principles, and will be cordially supported by their party. "We do not think there is any sane man, in either party, who does not believe that a large majority of the voters of Vigo county are Republicans. With the increase of Republican strength since the last general election, there shonld be, to-day, a elear majority of four or five hundred. It will be seen, therefore, that with a good ticket and the odds thus lurgely in our favor, we can only be defeated by gross neglect or mismanagement on our part. With thorough organization and efficient work in every ward and township,, we shall not only hold our own, but increase our numbers.' But this organization, carefully perfected, i»an imperative necessity. It most not be neglected nor deferred. Let it receive immediate attention, and such attention as will insure ita completion and maintenance. These wise precautions taken, and a thorough canvass prosecuted until election day, will give us a victory that will be well worth all the effort will cost.

Public spmpathy is almost entirely with Mrs. McFarland, who was universally respected by all who met her during her residence in Indianapolis.

State Sunday School Convention. EVANSVILLE, June 8,1870. EDS. EXPRESS: Your correspondent and his friend, A. J. Grundy, are nicely domiciled at the residence of J. W. Nexpen, (near Blackford's Grove), and to his wife and daughter Annie, we feel under many obligations, and I must say, if out home is a specimen of Evansville hospitality, I would like to "live always."

John F. Glover, of Evansville, in the absence of the President, called the Convention to order last night at 8 o'clock.

Dr. Wiley, of Bloomington, Ind., lead in prayer, after which the Choir snng: "There is alight in the valley for mo."

Dr. C. N. Sims, of Baltimore, Md., was then introduced: He said Christianity was grand and progressive, as shown by the growitog interest the people were taking in it.—• Christianity comes by studying Nature and Nature's laws. It was his privilege to suggest the work for the Convention.— We were here to think out the great work. It is our promise to go home and work out our thoughts. He wanted the children to love God. He believed in the implantation in the character of the child 6o that the desires of his heart should be true, honest, holy, conversion of the child, loving God with all thy heart—not the man but the child. The work of the conversion of the child—it is the great central idea, must prepare the child for along life of Christian activity. He asked what agencies may be employed? and answered, all agencies, that have God and truth at their foundation.

Methods to be employed-—First, Life Pictures, not myths. Black-board exercises—Unity of Plans, so that one plan may suggest another. He objected to question books, practical application of Christianity in daily practice, how those truths will apply to the lives of those you teach, personal and direct teaching. He dwelt at length upon the preparation for this work. He said he who will succeed in this work, must study and pray go with your children to the throne of God in prayer, for their progress. Those who study till they learn the value of prayer, or pray till they lo9e the value of study, will not suGceed, the two must go together.

The Rev. Dr. closed with a beautiful picture of the farmer sowing and reaping lis wheat.

The Vice President then gave notice that there was something to come next, not "on the programme," which was that two of our young family would be made man and wife, if the congregation would wait a few minutes andPhelix Meadows and Miss Susan Bedford, were joined in the holy bonds. Music by the choir, and benediction by Dr. Cheever, of Terre Haute.

WEDNESDAY HORNING.

In consequence of the rain the Convention was not called to order till 9 o'clock, that being an hour later than the hour advertised. The President. Mr. Coffin, called upon Dr. Cheever to lead the devotional exercises which he did in a truly warm hearted and devotional manner. The address ot welcome by the Rev. R. Andrus, D. D., of Evansville, was short 1but good, and I consolidate it in the two words "Christians Welcome."

Mr. Coffin, of Richmond, then delivered his annual address as President of the Convention.

Under the head of reports of the members of the Executive Committee Mrs. Sexton, of Rush county, delivered a very pretty and well written report of the Sabbath School work in her county, other delegates made reports, ail agreeing that the great work is progressing with great vigor and life.

Col. J. W. Rea then gave an example of a Model Superintendent, the work of opening and closing a School. He believed in varying the exercises more upon the School twice the same way he would some times enter the School and greet the scholars by saying "Good morning school mates," and having all the children ans-5 wer "Good morning" (a splendid idea) he would then have prayer, singing and roll call, after which he would have the Teachers fepend 30 minutes in a lesson, all the Schools having the same passage of God's Holy Word as a subject. The Assisant Superintendent he would have look to the visitors and shake hands with each one he as well as all officers and Teachers should be warm hearted he believed that no one should speak to Teachers or members of classes while at lesson. He then gave a blackboard exercise which was very instructive. On motion it was decided to raise no money by the Convention, that having been provided by the Local Committee. The Hon. B. C. fiobbs then came forward with his maps and proceeded to deliver a most splendid lecture on Bible Geography. The reverend gentleman spoke an hour in a fluent and very instructive manner. The immense audience listened with great attention and seemed perfectly spell-bound: after which a vote of thanks was tendered him for his kindness. The music by the Choir is undoubtedly the best I have ever listened to in a Church.

The intermediate class ^xercue by F. M. Thayer, of the Journal, was exeeed ingly interesting and instructive. He

iffll Ji

makes as good a teacher as he doe* an editor. A lively discussion on the .manner of conducting class exercise was carried oa by Col. Rea, G. I. Ripley, C. Hart, of Ills., Messrs. Forbs, Lyons, Jacobs, Lozier, and others.

Dr. Wiley, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who has, I believe, recently left the Episcopal and united with the Presbyterian Church, then delivered & lecture: His subject— "Converted Children," was handled in an able manner.

After the adoption of the report of the Committee on officers, Miss. 8. 8. Woodbury introduced an Infant class, and taught them a lesson taking as her text "Jesus says follow me." How? by obeying, loving, praying and working- Her pictures on the blacfc-board and instructions were good and very impressive. At the close of quite a lively discussion on Infant class exercise, Dr. Cheever, of Terre Haute, delivered a most excellent address, having for his subject "Why am I Teacher." It was too good to be reported in part and I hope to furnish you with a copy that our people may read, digest and treasure up the valuable instruction, and deal it oat to those hungering after the "bread of life." I will say, however, the Rev. Dr. was eloquent. Speaking from his great, warm heart, he seemed to be in direct communication with the Great Fountain-Head. The exercises of the Convention closed this evening with a grand talking or teachers "love feast" in which the speakers were limited to five minutes, 1 say grand, and I mean it, for it did ones soul good to listen to those workers in this noble cause, relating their experience, and telling what God has done for them. "May their Shadows never grow less."

As to the people of Evansville, I can not find words

tto

expreen how grateful

we, who have been at their homes, feel towards them. I will ask our people to return the favor next year, as the Convention meets with us. Shall we do it?

One of the parties implicated by Lemoine is Col.J David Murphy, a highly respectable citizen of WMhington, Franklin county, and editor of a newspaper published there.

Murphy is wdl known here,, and although Lsmoine's statement is sworn to and witnessed by the warden of the Allaghtry CSty psoitentiary, it will receive but litttle .credence where Marphy is known. -r

A COMMERCIAL POLICY.

WASHINGTON, Jane 12.—It is stated that the President has organised, and is about to inaugurate, a commercial pt^icv which will tend to bring as the vast trade of the Spanish-American States, which now principally goes to European ports. The design is to carry out the fidlowing suggestion in his annual messace: "I have always felt that the most inti mate relations should be cultivated between the republic of the United Stales and all independent nations on the continent. It may be well worth considering whether anew treaty between us and them may not be profitably entered into to secure more intimate relations, friendly, commercial and otherwise."

INTERVIEW WITH RED CLOUD, I Senator Morrill, of Maine, Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, and delegate Hooper, of Utah, had an interview with Red Cloud last ovening, during which the Indian chief said there will be no war Sf the whites wait for the Sioux to commence it. His people having no food have to hnnt, and when they do that were told they were off their reservations and were shot at. This made trouble, and they Indians get the blame, for they have no writer or papers.

Mr. Hooper told Red Cleud :hat more than eighty thousand' Mormons crossed the Sioux country in the last twenty-two years, and they never lost a life, an animal or a bale of goods until the railroad was built, since which they lost some property on*a train.

Red Cloud said he knew the Mormons. They always talked straight and dealt fairl with his people.

The delegation start to-morrow noon for New York, where they remain a ls_v or two and then proceed VHrectly home.

THE DANISH PEOPLE MORTIFIED.

Letters from Denmark show the government and people are lniich mortified at the neglect of the Senate on the subject of the St. Thomas treaty. Even its rejection would have left less unfriendlv feeling than is now manifested among the Danish people.

RELEASE OF THE HORNET:

The President yesterday ordered the release of the Cuban privateer Hornet, seized at Wilmington last fall, the Government requiring, ho e\ er, bonds in the: sum of $50,000, that thev sel be not used to commit ho tilities against Spain, nor in any other wayin violation ofthe neutrality laws of the Unit 1 States. General B. F. Butler and Hon. W. E. Chandler are sureties upon the bond. The vessel ond other property restored are valued at about one hundred thousand dollars. The decision of the President is (because of great rejoic:ng among the. friends of Cuban patriots.
