WWT AND 8OT0THWHST. The Ohio Ilepublioan State Convention, held on the 12th, nominated Judp William "White forjudge of the Supreme Court, and Milton Barnes for Secretary of State, both by acclamation. The platform fully and heartily Indorses the Administration of President Hayes, condemns the alleged revolutionary movement inaugurated by the Democrat under oover of an investigation, and balk as a promising omen the disposition exhibited by the conservative men of the South to adhere in good faith to the terms upon which the issues of the "War were settled and to disspprove of all attempts to reopen the Presidential question. The financial question having been disposed of by Cougrow, further agitation is declared to be Injurious to business and devoid of other tbau evil results. Incidental protection to home industry by a properly adjusted tariff, and a liberal appropriation for public buildings are recommended. Finally, the present Ijegklature of the State is pointed out an a warning to the people of the dangerous haraeter of the Democratic party, the erewnlng Infamy of whose acta is the red Is -trieting of the State, in violation of usage, ae Is declared, and at the dictation of Speaker Randall.

The Michigan Republican State Convention, held on the 19th, renominated (lovernor Charles L. Crosswell. The platform specially denounces the National Green1ack party and it policy, which if adopted, It is asserted, must bring disaster and ruin to business and discredit and dishonor upon the Nation. The question of the election of the present Incumbent of the Presidential Chair Ih declare! to have been finally settled by the Forty-fourth Congress, but there i no word In the platform, either of comwndatlon or censure, in reference to President Hayes's Administration. On the i:Kh Inst, there was filed in the United States Circuit Court at Leavenworth a contract between the Union Pacific, luumm Pacific, and Colorado Central Kailmsd Companies and the Omaha Bridge Company, by which the paid companies agree to pool their gros earnings and monthly divide the name Upon the following bal: The Union Pacific to receive "2.865 per cent.; the Omaha Bridge Company, 2.778 per cent.; tho Colorado Central Company, -1.87.1 per cent, and the Kana Pacific, 1.dWt per cent.

A Silver City (Idaho) dbpatchof the ISth says: The botiles have left Stein's Mountain, and are moving toward Harney's Valley, thence to Matthews' Agency and Snake Klver, and will probably keep on until thoy etfeet a Junction with the Columbia Klver Indians, which addition to their forces will, they calculate, enable them to nweep the country. Camp Harney will probably b captured by the Indian-) to-morrow, and if so there will be terrible slaughter of the white congregated there for protection. Nothing )m been heard from Howard Mnce yesterday. If be does not cH'ect a junction with Stewart's forecf, the party accompanying him from Camp Lyon could eaMly be captured by savages. The general situation is quite critical, and the ma-sacres that will be perpetrated bid fair to exceed In ntimhersthoe of the Xez Perces war. EAST AND SOUTIIKAST.
