BUCBX.ES FROM TUB COUNTRY PR
riCTTEKlXOS. Fröre tha Pittsburg Democrat. We alluded last week to the meeting to be held in Vincennes on the 20th of next month to fix time and place of holding a congressional convention. But there is one liitlrt matter we would like to know about. Who ha -authority to speak for the fcond district and call a convention? The district has been divided, a new district formed and a portion of the central committee of the old first district sureiy has r.o authority to act for the new second. It would re madness as far as Pike county
is concerned to consent to making a nomination for congress until alter the state oonWhv the need of so much
linati r.n the nart of Knox and Daviess coun
ties' Vinceunes doesn't own the district,
and it would not be rizht to have this con rv.mMiinfr at that nlaeeto eive can
didates residing there the opportunity of
Virinrrin outside pressure .to lear on me
coiumitTee so as to force the calling of a nnn.;natinn miircnl inn At SI1CQ time 8S
would nuit those who have axes to grind.
It is against all precedent to make congressional nominations so early. If tiie success nf the nartv in this county this year is to be
desired, it will not do to make nominations hastily, besides it is not democratic for men
to a-suine authority not conferred by the
party.

faci in advance of the election that the next representative to congress from this district
stand high in the estimation of the people ot the whle country. Iiis record is enviatle, and bis statesmanship undoubted. Perhaps conscious merit is the reason of his indifference, but certain it is, that he is not giving himself any trouble atxut re-elec tion. He seems to hive adopted the principle of not asking lor votes, but to deserve there. Of course we mean the Hon. W. S. lloluian. RK-ELKCTIOX. From the Fort Wayne Gazette. 1. fa four months before the republican state convention will be held, but practically
tnn "in ake un" ot the ticket is settled. The
present incumbents deserve a re-nomination
' and re-election. By their untiring work and liberal giving in 1&72 they earned a right to thn former, and merit the latter because
thev have made good and efficient officers
V have heard of no opposition to this plan
from anv ouarter. It seems to be the opin
ion of republicans all over the state, that the men who made so able and effective a canvass at the last election, and who have proved themselves such efficient, honas. and
taithful officers, should remain in othce lor another term, providing their party can keep
thatu there. BREAKING IT GENTLY. I From the Corydon Democrat. There is considerable talk among the prominent democrats of this county of presenting the name ol Hon. John Bates to the congressional convention of that district for the nomination for congress. Mr. Bates is a man of strong common sense, an earnest advocate of the fundamental principles of democracy; of untiring energy, very fair talents, and if nominated would make his mark in the representative halls of the nation. Mr. Bates has served one term in the legislature of our state, and was no'.ed for his sterling honesty and devotion to the best interests of his constituents. A COMPROMISE. From the Yinclnnes Sun.
Our own state is a striking instance cf the benefits arising from democratic rule. Taxes
have invariably been reduced by democrat ic legislatures in this state, while immedi ately upon the republicans gettinglnto pow er the taxes were increased and an extrava cant and false system of government adopt
ed. The main reason for this difference is to be found in the fact that democracy rep
resents a diffused form of government leg
islating for the benefit of the whole people, while the other represents centralization
leirislatinz for the creat monied interests
and adorning unwise laws that decrease the
revenues and absolutely injure the state.
! ' c. bat the?e emi.leraen kept.shaay, ev-
ldestlj not desiring to put in before the time. Finally Ceneral John S. Williams
made his way to the stand and entertained
the multitude with a speech, in wticu ne insisted with much energy that it was a
time when democracy should gather up Its
loose ends and put forward us principles
in a proper platform. He insisted there
were plentv of democrats scattered about in
groups and squads, but no democratic party. It was not a time now tor new departures the day had come when democracy, should stand by its own colors, and sink or swim
with them flying overhead. He then reverted to the history ol democracy in its successive conn nests, and defeats, and af
firmed that while men might die, democracy was immortal. Organize, discipline, array under your own flag, and don't divide up on the basis of other elements in the political world.
COLONEL BDACTTBURN
followed General Williams in a speech
In which he criticised the action of
the convention in voting down the proposi
tion to appoint a committee on resolutions, but announced his purpose to submit to the
action . taken. Loud and deafening cries
were then made for Colonel W. C. P. Creek
inridge, who reluctantly came to the stand, and with some prefatory remarks touching
the compliment paid in calling upon him, he eloquently affirmed the wisdom of the convention in declining to adopt a platform at
this time. There were great eras, great
crises, when it became the duty of democ
racy to speak its mind ana not De silent, out. when no representatives were to be elected, no ereat measures pressing before the peo
ple, the mere custom or adopting piatiorms was making it a matter of routine and not a
matter of vital issues. Only a sitgle officer
was to be elected, and to declare principles
was wholly unnecessary when the aggregate fundamental principles ol democracy were
Masoned all over its career, lie favored
Kentucky keeping herself free from any measure that would create dissension in her
ranks, and ready to enter as a unit in the next presidential campaign. lie looked beyond his own state, for he claimed not only to be a Kentuckian, but an American citizen.

IRREPARABLE LOSS OF THE TREASURES OF THE OLDEST ENGLISH FAMILIES, - - Taylor's pantechnicon and furniture

an acre of ground, was burned on Friday evening. The fire broke out at 4 P. M., and

several large stables adjacent were pariiany
destroyed. There were a number or accidents, and two firemen were killed. The
fire attracted an immense and unruiy crowa, and it became necessary to call out the mili
tary to preserve order. The Royal Pantech

panies. The building itseir was an imposing block, eight stories high, fronting Hyde park, and in the immediate neighbor hood of the palatial residences of Baron
Rothschild, the dnke ot Wellington, Mr Robert Peel and others. The front walls were of granite, elegantly sculptured. The building cost one million pounds sterling. The basement which is lined with iron, was carefully guarded by watchmen ; while each safe had an iron grating before it. Here were locked up the valuable silverware of the Id families of Enland, who rarely used it except on state occasions. These priceless collections were carefully numbered, the company giving bonds for their safe

THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRACY, HOW THEY 31ET AND WHAT. THEY DID.
A letter to the Cincinnati Commercial from Frankfort, Ky., on Wednesday, gives
the proceedings of the state democratic con
vention assembled at that place. The cor
respondent writes : e nave witnessed a
good many conventions ot the Kentucky
democracy m tne past six or eignt years, and
the delegates here assembled t o norm
but a single candidate for state office the
clerkship of the court of appeals is. in per
sonnel, more respectable and representative than we have heretofore seen. The "rag-tag and bob-tail" element, that has hitherto constituted so large an element in former
assemblages., of the unterrifled, is con
spicuously absent. There are, perhaps,
not so many or tne leaders, or
head-lights of the democratic party
visible in the thick groups that dot the street corners or make a buzz in the hotel offices, but there is no mistaking the substarv tial appearances of the mass of delegates, indicating, in aspect at least, a good chance
to rise above the heretofore wild and irre pressible elements ot a ku-klux democracy,
At ll:o0 o'clock, the Major Hall having been pretty well tilled with delegates, the chairman of the democratic state central
commute, Mr. ti. Y . Craddock, called the
. convention to order, and nominations for temporary president being in order, Colonel J. B. McCreary, speaker of the house of representatives, and ex-Governor Merriwether, were put in nomination. Speaker McCreary
of Madison, having taken the stand, ex
plained the objects of the oonvention to be to nominate a candidate for the clerkship
of the court oi appeals, and added some of
. the usual comai'inplace remarks about the
progres and success or the democratic par
ty lor tne past eignt years. A motion was made to appoint a committee of one from each district- as a committee on organizations and a motior, was offered as an
amendment to dispense with the usual ap
pointment of committees, and have a ballot
for clerk oi tne court or appeals without lur
ther delay.' Thin raised a storm,' and, after discussion, a substitute was adopted to have
a call ol the counties to ascertain what coun
ties were represented. . This tedious process
was agreed to as a necessary measure to as
certain the constitution of the convention
and occupied some time, ; The conclusion of
the call exhibited that of the 116 counties in
the state, 111 were represented In person or
hy proxy ia the convention. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
A motion lo appoint a committee oa per
insnent organization, of one from each district in the state, said committee to be also a
. committee on credentials, and a similar com
znittee on resolutions, was made. A motion to appoint a committee on resolutions was made by some delegate, and Colonel Kreckenridge moved that that . motion be laid on the table, which was carried by a large majority. A motion to reconsider that vote wag then projected before the convention, followed by a motion , to lay on the tabic. At this point the convention showed an eager hanger lor a speech by calling on "Breckenridge," ."Blackburn," "McManama," Winchester,"
The chairman ol the committee oa organ
ization and credentials. Judge Bullitt, made a report, as iollows: Representation to be one vote for every one hundred, and one for
every fraction over fifty cast for Governor
Leslie, and for permanent officers as follows:
President Hon. John G. Carlisle. Vice presidents: First district G. A. C. Holt;
second district H. P. McHenry; third dis-l trict John W. Caldwell; fourth district R. W. Brandon; fifth district P. Merriwether; sixth district A. S. Berry; seventh district

returned his thanks in a graceful and pleasant way, reviewing briefly the historv of
democracy for the past eight years; how
that from a disorganized and dismembered
party, oppressed by disfranchisement, military law and oppression, it had gathered its forces, consolidated them, and now was triumphant and victorious. He reverted to these things not to kindle prejudice, but to
exhibit the lessons ot truth and right as contrasted with fraud and wrong. He alluded with much congratulation to the victory of Allen in Ohio as affording a shining ex
ample for democrats to follow. He insisted, among other features in this democratic creed, that every state should regulate her own concerns, her own domestic aflairs.
without interference from the national government. Senator Hodge offered a resolu
tion of thanks to Speaker McCreary for acting as temporary chairman. Adopted.
THE JIATTEK OF FLATFORM. The motion to appoint a committee on res-
olution,and to lay that on the tabl, and a demand for the call of counties, provoked a
grand tumult among the delegates, half a
dozen being on the floor at once, and points
of order being raised and settled with start
ling speed. After lively clamor, the call . of
counties proceeded, and the resolutions were laid on the table yeas, 801; nays. 405. A
motion to procede to nominate a candidate for clerk of the court of appeal was adopted.
Captain T. C. Jones, of Daviess; Captain
McCarty, of. Louisville; Colonel Alvin Duvall, of Scott: Tbos. C. Poore, of Hickman; R. M. Grinstead, of Lawrence; Samuel H.Patrick, of Brentwood;
M. O. Allen, of Cumberland, were then put
in nomination by various delegates, and the nominations closed. A motion to drop the hindmost candidate after the third ballot
was agreed to by a decided vote. The taking of the ballot was accompanied with
marked demonstrations or applause as the names of the successive candidates were voted on by delegations. The first ballot resulted as follows: Jones 403 5-16. Puvell
3S0 5-16, McClarty 223 13 30,Patrick 101, Vincent 43, Poore 145,. Allen 32; necessary to a choice, 615 votes. The names of M. O. Allen
and lt. F. Vincent were withdrawn. After
the first ballot the convention proceeded
to a second ballot, that resulted as Iol
lows : Jones, 411; Duvall, 290: McClartv.
288; Poore, 156; Patrick, 129; necessary to a choice, 605. The names of Patrick and Thos. J. Poore, were then withdrawn. Before the
third ballot was announced, it beine evi
dent that Jones had nearly enough votes to constitute a majority, the county of Breckinridge changed her vote to Jones, Fayette county withdrawing Duvall, and the other counties were uproarious to follow in the trail, until the whole convention was in a clamor for Jones, and a motion to make it
unanimous was met with a ringing shout
of aye. Mr. Jones was therefore de
clared the nominee. A committee was appointed to notify him ot . his nomination and invite him to the convention. While the. committee were absant Colonel J. Q. Chenoweth, of Texas, ad dressed the convention. He stated that the soldier nominated to-day had received his wound while riding by his side in the confederate army in a most gallant charge. ' He congratulated the convention that they
were enjoying liberty, and paid his respecta to the republican administration of Texas,
aenominating it a rule of vampires. Colonel Jones was introduced to the convention and
made a speech of about five words, when the
convention aajournea, sine die.
The first floor was
A MAGNIFICENT ART GALLERY, n which were deposited the rarest pictures of the Turner, Reynolds, and other gal
leries. Pei sons going out of town also leu
their private collections of pictures here for
safe keeping. Besides these were glass cases
filled with costly jewelry and valuable collections of coins. Admittance Jto the pantechnicon could be obtained only from a depositor or a director. In the rear of the first floor were collections of equipages, mostly of foreign make, which were considered so costly that the owners teared to trust them
on their own premises, un tne noora aoove, besides several art galleries and marbles, were endless collections of costly furniture, requiring constant care, and attention to keep in order. The plantecnicon was also used for the safe keeping of landed titles, mortgages, and other valuable papers, the company sometimes advancing money on the collaterals deposited. Every day during the London season rows of
building while their occupants were viewing the collections inside. It was said that the young aristocracy who visited the pantechnicon-were often shocked to find that mere shop-keepers possessed more wealth than themselves. The company owned a large number of vans and carts, and employed nearly a thousand persons. It also owned its own railroad cars, which were so constructed that they could be run on to a laree six horse truck, thus
SPIRIT HANDS. ; ' - THE BROWNSTOWN SPIRITS THAT AN EDITOR SAW AND HEARD REMARKABLE STATEMENT.,', ' ' t Two towns of Indiana are specially favored by the invincibles. Terre Haute gives a good portion of time and attention to spiritualism, either for or against it, and Brownstown, in Jackson county, is a. rich spirit show ground. The editor of the Brownstown Banner is evidently softening. This week he soberly publishes the following: During the past few weeks, Miss Lizzie Winscott, a little girl about 12 years of age, daughter of Richard J. Winscott, of this place, has displayed remarkable mediumistic powers, both in slate writing and visible manifestations of various kinds. As usual, we had heard much and believed but little of that much. We regarded nearly all as wild conjurations eminating from imaginations exceedingly fertile in that particular. A few morning since, we were invited to Mr. Winscott's residence, to experiment and investigate at our leisure an invitation that we accepted. A small, oblong table, without drawers, and entirely open lrom the floor to the single thickness of wood that covered the top," was set out and covered with a wool
cover. Little Lizzie, the medium, sat beside the table. her whole person
in full view. Holding a slate in her right
hand, it was put under the table, and writ

propounded orally, The spirit of a Ger man having appeared, we asked a num-
ber of questions in the German language, to all of which we received appropriate,
though not always correct, answers
written in English. No developments worth relating were obtained through the writing process, probably on account of the
absence of communicative spirits. The MOST WONDERFUL MANIFESTATIONS

A careless Burlington (Iowa) man recently took a cinder lrom his office stove and

larger than the other Chicago dallies, and when the machinery works . smoothly there Is no reason why the paper should not
be as presentable as Its New York pro
totype. The Inter-Ocean Is growing In strength
dally, and is a very much better paper now than Its best friends ever imagined it could be made six months ago. Were it not for its disheartening political subserviency, there Is the "makings"
of a Journalistic power In the oddly named heet. . " TO WHOM IT 21 AY COXCERy. Cixcixxati, Feb. 9, 1S74. President and Members Indianapolis Typographical Union, No. 1. . Gextlemkx: Last Friday, on my trip from Indianapolis to this place, I met on the same train as myself John Flshback, of the Sentinel, and In a somewhat lengthy conversation with him on the present 6trlke of your Lnlon, he informed methat he had the promise of Governor HendricK8 that he (Flshback) might delay tbe state printing for which he has contracted for a period of six months, in order to break the strikers. Perhaps Governor Hen-
d ricks has so promised, and perhaps not. I
have only the word of John Flshback that he has done so. That Flshback so reported him to me I am ready to make affidavit. Would it not be well to ask Gov. H. to rise and explain whether be has promised the Indianapolis publishers to use his influence aeainstanv class ofwoik-
lngmen who are peacefully trying to better their condition. If he has done as Flshback says he
has. It Is time the printers' and other trades anion men of Indiana knew It. Yours truly, P. J. CUXNIXGTIAM. '
The above note appeared In the Union of yesterday In connection with some comments reflecting upon Governor Hendricks. In justice to
that gentleman, I desire to say that tbe portion
of it In relation to the promise of the governor.
that the state printing might be delayed for six months or any other time, Is sot true. I did not see Governor Hendricks daring the time of the strike and had no conversation with him upon that subject. Neither did I tell "P. J. Connlgham" that I had such a promise.

A Gem trow Whttter. To appreciate the truth and beauty of the following lines from the pen of Whittier, it is necessary to know the circumstances nnder which they were written. A friend of Whittler's youth, who had spent most of his life on the Illinois prairies, called on the poet at his home in Amesbury, and together they recalled the scenes of their childhood, and briefly, recounted the course of their after life. Whittier seemed much, affected by tbe allusion of his friend to his prairie home, where a wife, children, and a grandchild (" ConStance ") awaited his return ; and, on being asked for his autograph, replied : " Call on your way to the cars, and I will hand it to you.". . The friend called, and received the following. The lines show the delicate texture of the poet's heart, the tendrils of which were evidently stretching after something beyond his reach : The years, that since we met have flown, Leave, as they found me, still alone. Nor my wife, nor child, nor grandchild dear, ' . Ars mine, the heart to cheer. More favored thou ; with hair less gray . Thau mine, canst let thy fancy stray . To where thy little Cnnstance sees The prairie ripple In the breeze. . For one lik her to lisp thy name Is better than the voice of Fame. J. U. WuirriBJt. Bostou Conimonwealth.J
