REFERRING to the recent correspondence between tire Attorney General and the Governor,—which it prints in full the EvMsvilUki Courier"

On the Strength of a paragraph, clipped from the Terre Haute ".Express," we nafe hot properly represented the position taken by Governor Baker.

Here is what we said of the Govern, or's position. It "as written lite oil Tuesday night, after a careful reading of the Governor's letter,, tended ns by the Attorney General 1?hgGpvgrnor declines to adtfSe in ant/ particular case, without first knowing jast what the Attorney General proposes to prove, and what evidence he relies on to W??1-

And herajs^wUji^iheGprfrn^^ays "I cbuld ndt,howeVer, taie*the responsibility of advising the commencement or prosecution of any particular action against any persons or corporation- without first having presented to me the facts relied on in that special case, so that I might have ap opportunity of'examining the law aj»Jo the liability of the party proposed to be sued."

It will be seen that we did the Governor no injustice, and gave no occasion for the Courier to improperly represent his-position. TOT. BAKER IS too good a lawyer to advise without being possessed the facts necessary for the formj^ion_ofx acorrect judgment.

A Jersey Horror.

From the New York Heraid, October 1.], Yesterday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, at^ a little place called Branchville, in Franklin township, away up amid the hills of Sussex county, New Jersey, a terrible tragedy was enacted. An pld resident of the place, about sev-enth-five years of age,, named Henry Wy^er, had eqtne trouble with his wife, pearly as old as himself. It culminated in a frightful domestic row. In the wildnesa of his fury, the old man seized an ax and literally hacked his wife to pieces.

After he had completed this dreadful act, he procured a gun and discharged it at himself. He dropped on the floor and died almost instantly. Singular to relate, the horribly mutilated Mrs. Wyker lived some time, after her husband. ."Hie prim cause of the trouble is not known. The wildest excitement prevails throughout Sussex county regarding the matter. A corOli&rfe jury was at otoct summoned Old Wyker was quite well known, and stood well in the community.

She also saw Srke Hartman, brother of Mrs. Clem, in a buggy with.a gnn a Bhort "distance behind theth, following them up. She also saw other persons on the same road, who have, also testified to meeting-the same parties on the road. This malies the case stronger than ou the previous trials.

TWENTY-FIRST YEAR.

A Little Story.

tld W&o* SiocuM. of blessed memory and solemn countenance, who cultivated the Christian graces and a small farm on Cape Cod, had, among his worldly possessions, a venerable mare, as solemn as her master. For five and twenty years this goodly beast had borne herself without reproach, drawing the Deacon, in bis antiquated "shay," to and from church and market, and wherever else occasion required. During all this quarter of a century, from colthood to gray old age, the austere Deacon's sober mare had never been guilty of a momentary indiscretion not the most transient lapse from stern decorum stood charged against her in the memory of him whom she delighted to serve. But the good Book says, "A horse is a vain thing for safety, and though the pious Deacon never imagined that his trusted, faithful animal came within the meaning of that text, he was destined to a rude awakening from his dream of security. One Sunday morning, while on his way to church, with all the usaal calm surroundings, and nothing to give warning of impending danger, the old mare suddenly threw off the lethargy of years, and developed the vices of all her equine ancestors. Up went her head with a vicious Bnort! Bang! went her heels through the dasher! And then she broke into a run that would have made the Deacon's fortune at the Derby. In less, time than it, takes to tell the sad tale, DeaconStoccM and the ruins of his vehicle -were-strewn for half a mile along the highway. Neighbors gathered them up and took them h^me. They laid the poor old man on his bed, where the angel of Death soon found him, but as he slowly sank out of life he kept repeating one w6rd and died with it half-formed upon his lips. That word was, "Astonishing!" "Astonishing!" It has always seemed to us that no other word could have been so fitting, so expressive as that, under all the circu instances, and until this time we have seen no other occasion where it could be employed with the same propriety and force. But when we open the Evansville "Journal" and find, in the solemn columns of that pre eminently and chronically pious sheet so near an approach to a joke as the following, we exclaim, with all the regular readers of that paper, as did Deacon SLOCOM when his venerated mare went bjck on him, "Astonishing!" "Astonishing"!:

The editor of the Terre Haute "Exiress" certainly can not be in his usual lealth. There was not a single Bright p&r&graph in the "Express" yesterday.

IT IS impossible to please our lower Main street cotemporary. If we perpetrate a few harmless pleasantries, done up in rhyme, up goes the "Journal's" back to an altitude never attained by the vertebral mechanism of the most "cantankerous? tom-cat. If "the conditions are ^fright," fts our spiritual friends say, and the rhymes are, for that reason, not forthcoming, our unhappy neighbor grumbles and growls that the EXPRESS "has discarded its poetic editor." Now why can't our neighbor make a tremendous effort to take things as theiy come, in this life, and not fret that weary soul? We ask, in the words of a valued (^temporary, what is theraap invintfbk as good humor? We may reftftt the storms of anger, or the fierce gusts of passion but we resist good humor no more than a snow bank resists the summer's sun. Before it hostility melts opposition trickle.% away. The great orator rises in wrath, and foa^ns along his speech ,in tremendous invective but his opponent, with one little sally of good humor, turns the whole forcfe of the indignant currant away. So argument and reasoning are launched1 with power agafnst a public wrong, but launched in vain, when suddenly a stroke ot saiiricai ly truthful good humor raises a laugh that annihilates the wron£. A song and a jest ttfey be'taore terrible than tin army and a navy, but a British minister may fear a good-humored laugh in "Punch" as much as an adverse vote in Parliament.

A WRETCHED Kansas village is named' Devil's Delight.—Exchange. And whoever has seen or smelt that wretched Kxnsas village" will agree with us that the name is an insult to the devil.

IN A NOTICE of a distinguished cornmedian, the Indianapolis "Commercial" says: "There is a power in his pauses even, which would make the fortune of most actors."

TERRE-HAUTE, INDIANA, FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 6, 1871.

THE BOCHE3TER CONVIKTION. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—The doings of the Democratic State Convention is the lead* ing topic of conversation throughout the city. The reform party are greatly dissatisfied at the action of the Convention in refusing them recognition. It is probable a bolt will be effected by the party in the city, in conjunction with the antiTammany organization, and a ticket put upon the question of municipal reform. Much depends upon what the Convention may do to day. The platform is acceptable to the Democracy here. The reformers are said to. be much pleased with it. It is thought the case of th« reformers was badly managed.

A Rochester dispatch received late last night says, that at a caucus last night the reform delegation decided to issue an address, but on consultation with Tilden concluded to await developments to day.

THE PRESS.

The Times says the Convention has rung the deatb knell of the Democratic party of this State, the promises of the leaders amounted to nothing. The gen eral indignation of the masses against corruptionists has been tripled, with the party which a week ago seemed determined to purge itself of bad men who had hopelessly polluted and disgraced it. It is made to appear a man of hypocrites.

The World thinks that the Convention did its work wel), and says a rival delegation was sent to Rochester only as a means of excluding Tammany delegates. It was the settled determination of the Democracy of tha State that Tammany should be shut out, even at the ruk of disruption and defeating the parly,but the reason for its presence ceased when Tammany delegates relinguished their claim

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS. A communication has been sent to the department or public works by theDeputy Controller Informing them that there was a balance of $24,291 69 only due the Department, that beyond that amount the Finance Department had no funds, and no power to raise funds, and advising that the men employed on the public works be appraised of that fact.

REPUBLICAN MATING.

The Republican Coun'' Central Committee organized under the call of the State Central Committee last night, at Apollo Hall. After call of the roll, the President addressed the meeting, reviewing the history of the organization and action of the State Convention. Besolutions were adopted favoring the administration of President Grant, and endorsing the action of the Bepublican State Con* vention.

The committee appointed by the delegation that withdrew from the Republican State Convention to-day determined to srpport the regular Bepublican ticket.

THE WEATHER.

The barometer has risen decidedly since Wednesday afternoon, at Rocky Mountain stations, and the area of low baroui" -r in the North-west has moved rap En-'Iward, being now central in the iwfth lower lakes. Brisk south west winds have prevailed for a short time from Missouri to Lake Huron, and northwest winds on Lake Superior, as far as heard from. Very extensive forest fires are reported in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio, with smoke and haze extending to Middle and East Atlantic. A storm in the Eastern Gulf is now felt, as southwest wind with rain from Virginia to Georgia. Its centre has apparently been arrested and its progress over Florida Peninsula. High Bouth west winds have continued in lower Florida. Northerly winds and clearing weather on western Gulf. Probabilities —Rising barometer and clearing weather, with northeasterly winds, will probably prevail on Friday throughout the Mississippi Valley. Easterly winds with rain Continue On the south Atlantic coast. Low barometer on lower lakes will probably continue to move eastward with southerly winds and possible rain from Virginia to' Massachusetts. On Friday morning light local rains will very possibly be experienced in Minnesota and Wisconsin. i'

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. ROCHESTER, October 5.—On the assembling of the Democratic Convention, Cassidy offered a resolution that hereafter no delegate be received from the City of New York as a member of the State Convention, unless he has been elected by an assembly district convention, as customary in other parts of the State. That in the proceedings of the convention each district be «e}aately called, and each delegate individually announce his own vote.

Mr. Hurry moved to substitute for the word "State," the word "City." Rejected, 83 to 13.

A resolution was adopted that a hearing be given Ottendorfer and two other members of the reform delegation from New York, in hehalf of claims to seats.

Mr. Delehanty insisted that the repre sentation from New York was settled yesterday

After discussion the resolution was adopted with only four or five negative votes.

Mr. Tilden in his remarks in favor of the resolution, charged that the action of the convention yesterday had been secretly concocted at midnight, and sprung upon the Convention.

It was then agreed that a hearing be had now. Mr. Ottendorfer was the first speaker. He declared that it was not the purpose of the-delegation, nor its constituents, to throw disturbance into the Convention, but it was its purpose to have this Convention recognize the delegation from New York, which renounced and abhorred the corruptions of Tammany Hall. He thought the action of the Con vention yesterday would reflect great despair.

He was followed by Lawrence, a member of the delegation, who said they were agrieved by the action of yesterday. It would not do to say that Tammany Ball was the regular organization. The Tam many delegation came here with a cloud confessedly hanging fiver them. They had run away. He asked the Convention if they would go on with the city of New York unrepresented.

Wm. E. Curtis, one of the delegation, then spoke, saying, he had a letter from that life long Democrat, Charles O'Connor, which he would ask to be read. The letter of jO'Connor was read, which relere to the field which the City of New York presents, of contending parties for purposes of political speculation. Some successful adventurers in^thiti field had not been content to enjoy in secret their ill gotten gains, but flaunted their magnificence before the public gaze. The people are pressing for redress with a,a energy which is irrtsistable. The action of the Democratic Convention should" evince nothing less than a salute of freedom from all complicity in the great official crime of the day.. Impeached individuals are not few in numbers. If the present city rulers are avowed friends, they should be received .into the convention on any terms, or if not saturated by the odium of their position, would inevitably attach. to them. The party cannot continue tol exist unless the convention stands aloof from these individuals, until their right to public confidence shall be satisfactorily vindicated by a fair public investigation. O'Connor refers at length to the speculations of city officials, and says, until Judicial investigation deternf inea otherwise, the accused parties cannot be deemed trustworthy. Their trials would be a farce, while themselves are in power, and to the power they have over the ballot is added the authority over the jury box.

The credentials of the delegation were then read, together with the names of the delegates. "Tilden said the object of the gentlemen appearing to be heard had been accomplished, and was proceeding to review the action of the convention, when he was called to order as not speaking to the question. Tilden said he was about to make a motion, being pressed to move that they proceed to the nomination of a State ticket. Some confusion ensued, but order was preserved, when Tilden de nounced Tammany, and declared he would vete against the candidates for the Legislature- m&de by that organization. If that was undemocratic he would resign his position as Chairman of the State Central Committee, and retire to his plundered fellow citizens.—[Applause]

The motion to proceed to nominations wascarried. Magnus Grass was nominated for Secretary of State, but the reform delegation, of which he was a member, said they would prefer not to have any of their members on the ticket. [Cheers.] Diedrick Wilbers then received the nomination for Secretary of State. O. V. Nichols received the nomination for Controller. Wheeler H. Bristol was nominated for Treasurer. The name of O'Connor was presented^ for Attorney General. Several stated that ho would not accept the nomination. After some debate a vote upon the nominees resulted in the choice of Marshall Champlain, by a vote of 62 to 42 for O'Connor.

Van R. Richmond was nominated for State Engineer, George W. Chapman was nominated for Canal Commissioner, and David B. McNeel for Inspector of State Prison.

The selection of a State Committee was then made, with Tilden as chairman, after which the convention adjourned.
