THE CINCINNA TI CONVENTION. The black spiritB and white, the bine spirits and grey, who for three long days stirred the political cauldron at Cincinnati, on yesterday concluded their incantation. The deliberations have shown the incongruous character of the elements composing this assembly.

Horace Greeley was nominated, upon the sixth ballot, for President, and B. Grata Brown, of Missouri for VicePresident. This result has surprised not a little the friends and opponents of the Liberal movement. It presents the strange anamoly of anew party selecting for, its leader the oldest, th? most radical and most extreme man of an old party. It is a ticket that perhaps may do more damage to the Republican party, but for ultimate success in the great Presidential contest, a weaker combination could not have been effected.

The work of the convention is regarded here as a farcical burlesque hardly worthy of a serious launh. The nominations fall like a wet blanket upon the discontents of both Republican and Democratic parties. The result will be the nomination of two straight out tickets by the Republican and Democraticjparties, and the work of the Cincinnati Convention will be hardly a nine day's wonder.

The tone of the political press of ihis city is shown by the following extracts: [From the Dally Express.]

The side show yelpt "Reunion and Reform Convention,'' a squad of malcontent* for whose utterances nobody cares, had a final meeting at Cincinnati yesterday and got off an acre of resolutions, which nobody would re»»d, if printed. Therefore we don't burden our columns with them.

So far as the citizens of Terre Haute are concerned, the nomination of Greeley and Brown has fallen "as dead as a door nail." Diligent inquiry reveals but one gentleman who "cares a continental" about the ticket. (From the Dally Journal.1

The nomination of Horace Greeley lor the Presidency by the Cincinnati Liberal Repablioan Convention will take the country by surprise as heretofore any mention of his name in connection with that high position has been received with a smile of derision. He is a tolerably good man, in his way, tall of crotcheta and vagaries, but we believe honest and conscientious on most subjects. What his strength may be, and to what extent be may draw on supporters from Grant, we are unable to predict at this time, but we doubt if any overwhelming enthusiasm is aroused auiong the people in bis behalf. Certainly he eannot, nor can bis friends expect any consideration at the hands of the Democracy. For two generations he has been our biUer and unrelenting opponent and rev iter, and it would a lorn of all sell-respect for the Democracy to rally around a standard bom* by Horaoe Greeley 1 [Fiona the Evening Oaastte.]

The chief will soon be at home, when be will atata the position of DM Oaaette on UM political situation, base a on ma obaorvilton* at the aoaaa of the late conflict. the Banner German.]

As our readars will sea Aroos the telegraph dlspatrihes, tfeay have nominated Horace Greeley, altar the sixth ballot, for President, and 6 rats Brown for Vice President. We in our last number stated that we would aupport the Liberal Republican Ueket if Cnaa. Franda Adama, the most honorable man that was brought before the convention, should have beea nominated. Homos Oreeley we will not support— the Presidentship of the United States Is an office of too much importaaee to give to an old and good-natured, bat overbearing man—a man that his lor years b*en the laughing Hock of half the world.

WE WANT MOBEt

Mora what Why, more manufactoriee of oourse. Tsrro-Haute ia growing wonderfully. Buildings are springing up on every side—occupied as soon as completed, and others are demanded. Our streets hum with the whir and racket of trade, oar merchanta have busy clerks and heavy ledgers, business ot all kinds is in throbbing, heslth new rsilrosds are being completed and prospected, and every citisen of the town is proud that the future promises us so much. But we want, and must have more manufactoriea. Why should we not have them. Eastern capitalists have their attention directed this way, but they are thinking only of iron. We should have a boot and shoe manufactory, turning out thirty or forty cases daily supplying the home demand and and shipping to other portions of the west. Thousands of wool hats plug hats, and cloth caps are worn here, and why are they not made here To-day the looms of New England are weaving the web which will be worn by our people next week. New England makes our cloth, makes our hats, prints our calicos, whittles out our shoe pegs, manufactures our wagons, makes our watches,kindly sends us baby carriages and soothing syrup, supplies us with wooden legs and spring bosom pads, and to other points we go for our threshing machines, farm machinery, tubs, churns, and hundreds of articles that should be made right here at home.

Why should this be so The Yankee takes the ore from the mine, the cotton from the field,the wool from the sheep, the timber from the forest, and by his ingenuity and industry transforms them into that which rules the world of American trade and makes the great West bow to the little East. Tne land which charry nature has denied almost every thing virtually leeds the inhabitants of a land upon which the "horn of plenty" has been prodigally outturned. .n .t

It is true that Terre-Haute has some good manufactories, but there is only one where there should be scores. We want more! We have the material and resources. We have every advantage to help, and every necessity to impel us to the building of mere manufactories. There is no reason why this city should not be the workshop of Indiana. It is becoming a great railroad center, has the advantage of location. Here is a great field for capitalists. Our city has kicked ofl its quadrangular linen and short pantaloons, and now begins to wear broadcloth of metropolitan cut. Don't let us go ahead and build a city, which, like a great baby shall be de pendent on New England and other distant localities for its daily food. Not much longer should the cars carry away our wool and bring back a tailor's stock, our rags and bring back paper, nor should our grain be dumped down at the door of the Eastern manufacturer to pay for the machine that threuhed it neither should our wood be shipped East in the log to come back in the shape of wagons, furniture and wooden ware.

The day should soon come when we can hear the rutnble ot a hundred manufactories, and hear whistles- daily calling ten thousand workmen to their benches and their looms. We want to see the day speedily come when the merchant shall receive his stock from the dray of a home manufactory, instead of from a car which carried its burthen through a dozen states. Give us the music of screaming whistles, coughing engines, rattling looms, rolling burrs, clinking anvils, whisking planes, humming saws, and the cho ruses sung by the multitudinous in' struinents ot the machine world, and when you have given the Prairie City that, you have given It a crown of pow er, wealth and substantial greatness. —fmmmm

A DECISION of the Tennessee Supreme Court, made a day or two since, debars all readers of newspapers from serving as jurors in criminal cases.—[Ind. News.

It his high time that this thing of putting a premium on ignorance or obtusity tn the jury box be done away with. Our jury system hss long needed some decided reformstion. Several States, among them Illinois, Iowa and Ohio, have already passed laws taking away the disqualification of jurors who read the newspapers and form opinions, and it Is to be hoped tbst ths law may be put upon the statute books of all the States. When trial by jury was in its infancy there were no newspapers, no telegraps and no railroads, and ao it was easy enough in any case, to find twelve intelligent men who had no opportunity of forming an opinion regarding the matter in hand. Now-a-daya, however, every crime to dealt with circumstantially ia ths newspaper the day after its doing, and oo as many succeeding days as It ts possible for the reporters to find anything to say about it. It to simply absurd to supposs that any man, not an hllot, can avoid knowing in advance of trial, ths loading features of every case, and forming soma sort of sa opinion about It, though with most men that opinion in no way affscta either their ability or their wllttngneen to investigate ths foots fairly, and to candor'a verdict tn mooordanos with tbesvidenos. But ths law says nay, and so whenever a great criminal ia to be triad, we have the mockery of a jury oompoeed wholly of men who are too stupid to have formed an opinion, or who. having formed one, are willing to awear that they have not.

Tn gboot storieo in tke magaaines aad newspapors now-a-daya, are most wuudei ftil smamplas of word-spinning. Tto craata artificial terror of things ia vlkk no one really bellevo* is no tessplble foal.

THK more ignorant portion of the colored population in many parts of the country entertain an exceeding dread of becoming subjects for the dis-secting-table, and hold the most extravagant ideas regarding the means adopted by medical men to secure bodies for experimental or illustrative purposes. This is especially the case in Louisville, where the terrors of the colored folks have been heightened by the mischievous pranks of the medical students, who have taken great delight in stimulating their fears. In Washington, the negroes have a firm belief in the existence of a class whom they call night doctors, and who are believed to perambulate the streets between midnight and dawn, in pairs, seeking subjects for disseotion. The night doctors are supposed to lie in wait in dark alleys, furnished with adhesive plasters, which they dexterously clasp over the mouths of their victims to prevent any outcry, after which the captured colored persons are taken to a dissectingroom, where they are first chloroform ed into insensibility, and then slowly murdered by the heartless students. It is also a popular belief among many of the negroes in Washington that the castor oil sold by druggists is the adipose extract of colored indlvidu als, and that numbers ef their race are annually slaughtered in order to supply the demand for this active medlcin al agent.

A SINGULAR CASE.

Here is one of the queerest cases we remember to have heard of—of its class. It will be remembered that Marlow, the Jamestown, Chautauqua county murderer who was to have been hanged a few weeks sgo, escaped, for the time being, through a stay of proceedings granted by Judge Barker, of the Supreme Court. The ground upon which the stay was granted is thus set forth in the opinion of the Judge:

By the affidavit it is disclosed that a Sunday intervened during the trial and after the evidence was closed that by the order of the court the Jury was kept together in the custody or officers that

uiuer lu iiuo uubm/uj vi uiuvom. on this Sunday the Jury, in a body, in company with the officers in charge, attended the Baptist church in May ville, and before tbe congregation a ser mon was preached by the miniater officiating, in the hearing of all tbe lurors. Among the remarks uttered by the minister, at the close of his discourse upon his selected text, "Release unto me Barabbas now Barabbas was a robber," were the following: "8om« in this bouse may think I "ifrplwwllng for the man now being tried for his life in the village. Such is not tbe case for I believe the man's bands are reeking with blood, also bis wife's and his mother's reeking with blood. I have read and carefully examined the evidence and from that have come to this conclusion."

ALMOST from the timVof King Solomon till now, the search has been going on for the famous land of Ophir from which be derived his gold. Modern travelers now affirm that this land of riches is none other than the recently discovered gold aad diamonds fields of South Africa. Tbe ease with which gems snd the precious metals are obtained there, together with the plenteousnesa, gives an air of probability to the thing. That tbe voyage from tbe Red sea to South Africa could be made without tbe aid of the mariner's compass is also certain. But what seema to add confirmation to the theory is the fact that extensive ruins of an old and advanced civilization are to be found in varioua places in Southern Africa. Walla fifteen test thick, and thirty high, enclosing several acres, also towers and obelisks have been found. Tbe style of architecture is neither Arabian nor Portugese, but most nearly resembles that of the Pboenlciana. Sooth Airica jnat now ia a place of interest not only to gold and diamonds hunters, bat to scholars and antiqnartana.

Claflin 6 O*, la Broad strset, New York. He doss not give a veryroeooolored view of either premises or oocupants, considered that they are reported ss among ths millionaires ot Wall strset. Hs describes ths rooms as dark and gloomy. One clerk only oocupiee the room designed for twsnty. Mis. Woodbull has ons sanctum, and the famoua Tennie aad Col. Blood another. Dingy oarpets and chep picturee supply the ornaments. Col. Blood la a pleaaant man with large moustachea. Tennie is short and thick, and wore a blue suit. Her featuree are described as masculine, and her movementa heavy and ungraoeful. She was idly scanning the stock quotations on the telegraph tape, or giving directions to Col. Blood, or calling In sharp, grating tones for "Jimmy" to deliver some letters. Presently two young Englishmen entered and asked to see Tennie. Their errand, as they stated, was to get her picture. It was patent, however, that they had aimply oome to gratify a curioeity. Tennie listened to their shallow flattery, while trying to induce them to buy a set of her published books, and those of her sister, just for $10, then |6, next |4,50, and finally at the greatly reduoed price of |1,50. The youngsters, despite all her beguiling speech, ended by purchasing a ten-cent picture, going off in evident glee.

ATPaasairr there sssms to be sa ss•odstlon to pot down svsry form of political, religious or social oppression. In England those who are opposed to ths law which prohibits a msn from marrying ths slstsr of his decsaasd with, have formed "Ths Marrlaga Law Reform Association," which has for its solo objsct the repeal of this statute. Ths members hold meetings, make spoechcfc, have dspartmsnts in newspapers, and are now agitating the sutjeet of bsving an organ and of nominating candldatea for parliament., The celebrated methodiat divine, Mr. Puncheon, waa aggrieved by this statute, so he left the mother country, took his sister-in-law to Canada, where he married her, and where he oontinues to reside. The number of men who loee their wives in esrly lite, and who happen to have sisters-in-law of a marriageable age, whom they obanoe to fall in love with, and happen to be loved in return, would seem to be too ridiculously small to warrant the formation of an aasooiation, much less political party. We can only account for the popularity of thia movement on the theory that the majority ot people seem bent on marrying the persons to whose union there is the greatest opposition. Possibly there is soother reason for having this time-honored statute repealed. It may be that husbands become so much attached to their mothers-in-law that they hate to give them up when they beoome widowers.

Two of the three leading profeesions of the oountry—tbe law and the Gospel —says the Chicago Inter Ocean, are divided in opinion regardingthe rights of woman. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia strikes out the word "male" from ite rulee with a flourish of gallantry quite refreshing. On the other hand, the Brooklyn Presbytery votes, almost unanimously, that the proper condition of woman is subjugation, and that no female voioe shall be uplifted in the pulpits. The Presbytery not only maintains that a woman must demurely submit to the divine ordinance,. "He shall rule over "her," but most harshly quotes St. John to show that the sngels of the churches were all men. Againat all this tbe women have. certainly a moral, if not legal, right to rebel. If the aex is to be deprived of its vested right to be known and loved as angelic, what is to become of them Here is a chance for Miss Anthony and Mrs. Livermore. We opine that the Presbytery have a precious hard time in fending off the assaults that will be made upon It on account of Its decision, but, above all, on acoount of this most ungallant rendering of the Scriptures. ,,

THK past winter has witnessed some extraordinary legislation on the subject of liquor selling, and as the result of this legislation, it is natural to look for some singular proceedings in the courts of the various States which have been experimenting in this direction. A curious case under the new Ohio liquor law has just been tried in Monroe county, In that state. A woman recovered |600 damages lrom a saloon keeper whom she had sued fer having sold liquor to her husband at divers times during the last twelve months. No proof was brought that her husband had been seen to drink any liquor in the saloon and the defendant swore that he had not sold nor given him a a drop daring the-t^me specified. But the man had been seen drunk in the saloon frequently, and this the jury seemed to think was all the evidence required to prove that he got his liquor there. Consequently the saloonkeeper had to suffer for permitting him to enter his premises.

H. G. AS A CARPBT KMAHT.—The New York Commercial Advertiser thus alleles to the recent soene where Horace Greeley introduced Anna Dickinson to aNew York audience:

He is 61 years old and weighs 216 pounds, and yet he floated as lightly and peacefully about in tbe discharge of the offices of politeness to the petticoated orator as a bit of gossamer or goose down "bestiide a vernal sephyr." And she, the fair object of this wondrous devotion, knew bow to appreciate it, and cast ever and anon side lances at the delicious old car»erer,snd she would hsve enveloped him in her arms and held him there until her gratitude should have eet his susceptible heart playing agricultural airs upon his venerable ana reeonant ribs. It was a beautiful sight, snd all who beheld it went away thinking, better of humanity than wnen tbey entered

WOMEN in Auatralia perform tbe duties of bricklayers' laborers, and may be aeen carrying hoda of mortar and baskets of brick up High ladders. More than this, tbey dig snd wheel barrows of "ballast" almost aa nimbly as the men. They chop wood, thev carry water, tbey offer to black your boots in tbe atreet, and perform may other little offloM which, sboording to our notions, do not, and should not, come under tbe denomination of "women's work."

A PHILOSOPHIC writer says: "It is one of tbe severest tests of friendship to toil your friend of his faults. If you are angry with a man or hate him, It Is not bard to go to him with words bat so to love a man that yon eannot bear to aoe tbe atain of sin upon aim, snd to speak painful troth through loving words—that Is friendship. Bat lew hsve such friends.'* asasBss^Baese

THB Mount Vsrnon (Ohi6) Banner says tho country there is fall of patentright swindlers, who delight to go for farmers. The best way for fannsrs to do is to have nothing to do with such vagabonda.

Money paid to peddlers Is taken oat of tho coanty, and not taxed, even if you eecape being swindled. _______

THS profits on Sewing Machines must be enormous. By means of Improved machinery the cost of manufacturing theae machines in ths immense numbers that are now called for, has been reduoed to the lowest figure. Each piece of a sewing machine ia now made by a special machine managed by a workman who doss no other kind of work. He thus becomes a special adept in his own paitioular branch. It is safe to say that ths average machine costs the manufacturer but 912 for the machinery and iron frame. Tbe wood portion, the table in the plain machines, and the box in the oabinent, do not cost more than 2 and |10 respectively.
