for Mr, Brenner, voting for Mr. McLauOhlih.

Of the Democracy had defeated tho office

the State Convention, and are, in consequence,
in greatgteo. Some twenty-five hundrodmen,
great and' small, holding place under tho Ad
ministration, were thrown into tho different
precincts of the respective wards in the great
city of Philadelphia on Monday evening, and,
l with tho aid of large sums of ihoney, contrived
to secure one-half of the delegates, and to pre
pare to contest the seats of some of tho fairly
elected delegates. Hundreds of Democrats
who tried to vote at the primary elections were
[rejected. Thousands did not vote at ail. Delc

... Bribery at Elections.
- Commissions, appointed by tho British Go
vernment, on the, solicitation of the Parlia
ment, have been occupied in investigating
into the dreadful system of the grossest bri
bery and corruption, proven to have been in
operation In tho city of Gloucester and tho
borough of Wakefield, at the last general
election. So prevalent has the contagion
boon that the. person convicted of this crimo
at Wakefield,- and turned out of Pariiomeht
for the crime, was Mr. Leai-iiam, brother-ln
tey? to Mr. John Bbiqut, the great Parliamen
tary :Rcformer.
The legal expenses of a borough election
maybe two'or three thousand dollars to each
candidate. At Wakefield and Gloucester each
man expended from twenty to forty thousand
dollars.. 'He paid over tho money to his agents,
did not particularly inquire what they did with
It, and did not,know (of course!) that nlne
tenths of It went to buy the votes of tho «free
and independent electors/* It is declared, in
England, that this system must bo put down.
It con be done very easily. Make bribery a
felony, punishable as forgery is, and convict
and transport half a dozen “honorable” cor
ruptionists, and the system will speedily die
but.
Wq must not chuckle at the thought that
there is no bribery and corruption here . What,
as at present regulated, are the Custom House
and the Mint but great bribery establishments,
where the bona* of office or of jobs is given to
those who vote in a particular way, and fork
out a required sum of money when tho hat
goes round to pay expenses? What, at the
last election, for example, iq which Col. Flo
rence was returned, was the Navy Yard—ex
cept a manufactory of votes in favor of that
gallant and good-natured gentleman ?

which have recently been on trial at Chicago, the

.of fabrics oomhjnlng, vulcanized gum. It will be
remembered that his Honor Judge Giles, presiding
over the Circuit Court of the United States for the
district of Maryland, rendered a very able and
elaborate opinion fully sustaining Mr. Bay's title,
and tbe court at Chicago, acting in accordance with
that opinion, have also affirmed his title.

THE PKESS—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1859.
.Letter ftom Occasional.’*
[Correspondence of The Frees.!
Washington, November, 8 1869.
This is about tho tlma that political, star-gasers
begin to make their calculations, and to anticipate
tho events of tho future. Wo uro on tho ovo of
another Presidential contest, which promises to bo
a most interesting and animated one. The last
election in the State of Maryland indicates, clearly,
tb&t it will hereafter bo a Democratic State. This,
with the pretty-well-settloil Democratic politios of
Delaware einoo tho death of Hop. John M. Clay
ton, will probably consolidate the South (unless,
indeed, Mr, Slidell should loso Louisians) upon a
conservative nomination at Charleston. Should
New York and new Jersey decide to-day in favor
of the Republicans, hut two free States oan proba
bly, he estimated as Demooratio next yonr, unless |
upon a eubatantivo Dougins platform. These aro |
Oregon and California. With Kansas, whlob will I
of course be admitted at tho present soaaion of 1
Congress, if the South does not desire to rekindle
the fires of 1856, there will bo nineteen freo States |
voting at tho next eleotion, and flftoon Southorn
States. Should the olootion go to tho House, tho
vote of fifteen of tho former would bo thrown for an
ultra Ropublfoan, and if Kansas should bo admitted,
and elocl a Republican member of Congress, six
teen would be rocorded on tlio same side. Oregon,
California, and Dllnois would probßbly, in that
event, be found on the Demooratio side, unless tlio
oontest for memberof Congress from Oregon should
be deotded in favor,'of tho Republicans by tho
new House of Representatives, whloh is likely,
Of the fifteen Southern States, Maryland will bo
found tied. Tho Americana have Tennessee, while
North Carolina and Kentuoky aro equally dividod |
between that party and tho Democrats. Bat
should the oleotion be deoided at the polls, tho
ehanoes aro thut the South wilt heprotty well united
against tho North. It will bo romombered that
Tonnossoo, North Carolina, and Kentuoky gave
largo Democratic majorities at the last August
eleotions, notwithstanding tho Amorieans carried
tho majority of Congressmen in tho first, and di
vided, equally, the delegation in' tho lattor. Tho
Northern Opposition must, tboreforo, plant Itself
upon the Republican platform. Tho nomination of
an Opposition candidato for President from tho
South, like John 8011, of Teunossee, or Edward
Bates, of Missouri, or John M. Bolts, of Virginia,
woaid not carry, either of these States for the Op
position, and might lose them many votes in the
North and West, wbllo the gift of tho Vioo Prosl
denoy to tho South would do no more, unaccom
panied by an oxpress declaration satisfactory to
tho South in the national platform of the Opposi
tion party.
Theso oomplieations aro being carefully wolgbed
by political astrologists. It will be found that Mr.
Seward, although greatly damaged by tho exoito
mont growing out of the Harper’s Ferry experi
ment, will retain groat power in tho nominating
Convention—power enough, oortainly, tojnalst upon
a thorough Republican platform, which will bo
equivalent to a thorough Republican nomination.
Either himself or some man standing upon such a
platform, will doubtless be chosen. Tho question
of protection sooms to ho pretty steadily ignored
by the Opposition, save in Now Jersoy and Penn
sylvania. The only issue which consolidates
the Northern Opposition, apd upon which tho
losdors of that party subsist, is tho slavery issue;
and those who oomo from tho Northwest and New
England and New York know that thetr extstonoo
depends upon keeping up this issue, and will insist
upon its emphatio recognition on any platform that
may bo laid down, especially-in view of tho un
promising prospect to their organization in tho
slaye States. ’Bio American organization per se
is not near so strong to.day as it wag in 1856. Then
it made nominations of its own, held large demon
strations, and oarried the State of Maryland; and
yotlt waa overridden by tho Republican senti
ment," whloli, upon a purely geographical plat
form and almost op unknown candidate for
President, was only prevented from sijoeesi by tho
triumph of the Democrats tn four of tho free gtat.os—
Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, and Now Jersey.
Bat if this retrospect toaohes a oorialn lesson to
tho Republicans, it also presents some grave I
admonitions to the Democrats. lVho shall bo [
the Demooratio candidate with any ohanco of I
success at tho polls noytyear! This is the groat
question. Who is Btrong enough tp win as the Do- I
mocratia candidato? I think ? have shown fttat I
there is no hope for suoli a candidate in tho House. |

Contemporary Portraits*
Without any exception, tbo moat remarkablo
gallery ofportraits engraved upon steel ia that
now in course of publication, with the lllmtrattd
News of the "World., each with a sufficient and in
structive biography, This pictorial journal was
commenced nearly two years ago, without any pre*
litninary founding of trumpets. The London Joint
Stock Publishing Company undertook to issue it,
and, though ninety numbers have already ap.
po&rod, not one indifferent wood engraving has
.been put into them. Besides, thcro has been issued
with esob number, as a supplement, an engraving
on steel of some eminent person and memoir.
Messrs, Henry A. Brown A Co., 14 Hanover street,
Boston, aro tho principal American agents for this
publication. Already have theso portraits beon
collected Into handsome folio volumes, bound in
doth and gold, with gilt edges. Two such volumes
have been thus published separately in London
and a third series will soon appear. Kach volumo
contains forty portrait and biographies, and in
supplied by Messrs. H. A. Brown A Co. lor five
dollars and a half eaoh. or, with the weekly num
bers of the Illustrated News of the World, (forty
with each volnme,) for only seven dollars and a
half. Tbero are fourteen to sixteen first-class
wood-ongravlcga In each number.
Most of our readers may recolloot tho time, not
very remote, when for an authentic, wcll-ongravod
portrait of any eminent Jiving person, as much as
is here oharged for forty would not bo considered
dear. The Loudon Athenaum, of September 17th,
(a oritlo hard to bo pleased,) says of this Drawing
room Gallery of contemporary portraits, “How
these pictures—for they are real works of Art, ns
well as faithful presentations of tho personages
chosen for illustration—can bo produced for the
very small sum of money charged for them, in the
first instance, is one of tho marvels of trade enter*
prise in onr day. A more useful book for the libra’
ry-shelf— a more attractive book for the drawing
room tablo, has not comeout this season. Thonew
volume contains portraits representative of »ll
classes—royal persons, preachers, wrHors, painters
singers, dancers,—the Prince of Wales, theAroh
bishop of Canterbury, Lord JMacaulay, W. V.
Frith* Madame Novello,—of every class eminent
In Us kind. It Is a sort of Mon of the Time su

We take tho first volumo. It contains portraits
of royal personages : Princo Albert, tho Prince

the Duke of Cambridge; Lords Palmerston, John
Russell, Panroure, and Stanley; Mr. Dallns,

first count of the inulotment, (ho not boing recog
nised as a citUon.) and guilty of conspiracy with
| the slnves to rebel, and of murder, as charged in
tho second and third counts. The ooso was ably
argued by Andrew Hunter, Esq., on behalf of the
State. The prisoner was defended by George Len*
nott. Ksq., of Boston, who labored with muoh zeal
for his client. . v
A bill of exceptions, and a motion for the arrest
1 of judgment. were entered by the prisoner’s coun-
I sel, which will be disposed of to-morrow morning
TAB CABB OP OAPT. COOK.
Tho court assembled at 10 o’clock on Monday,
and was called to order by Judge Parker. Tho
grand jury was sworn, and Immediately proceeded
to thoir room to consider the case of Ospt. Cook.
A number bf witnesses wore summoned, and the
jury was nhsont for about two hours. On the re
assembling of tho court, Mr. Harding, tho Prosecu
ting Attorney, stated, thnt as n number of the wit
nesses In tho ease of Cook, who would not bo in
tho Stephens oase, were presont, ho would, If
agrooable to tho counsel on the other sldo, movo
i to take up tho onso of Cook first.
1 Thomas C. Green, Esq., one of the counsel fbr
' Cook, said that as tho counsel had not yet had time
to read the indiotment, and had not yot decided
I what plea to entor to tho charge, he was unnble to
proceed in tho enso, and would prefer that the
I Commonwealth would proceed .with tho onso of
Stophens, which would allow thorn time to prepare
for tho ease of Cook.
TITE CASK OP STEPHENS CALLED UP.
D. Stephens was accordingly brought into court,
nnd plnood on n mattress. Ho Is looking palo and
tho abstinence from food, and the large
Suantlty of medioino takon by him, having had a
ooided effect on him. Ho hears up undor his
wounds with much fortitude, and is seldom heard
to murmur;
Ills counsel, Mr. Lennott, who had endeavored
to havo his trial moved to an adjoining oounty, hut
was refused, appeared, and tho empanelling of a
jury was proceeded with.

THOIIITIBB—ATTEMPT TO BRING PROMINENT ABO
LITIONISTS BEFORE THE FEDERAL BAR.
After a considerable number of jurymen had
boon obtained, Mr. Hunter arose v ana stated that
bo bad just received a despatch which would pro
bably interfere with further proceedings in the
empanelling of a jury. He tboq road the follow
ing telegraphic despatch from Gov, Wise;
“Richmond, Nov. 7.
“ To Andrew G. Hunter
“Dbab Sih: I think you had hotter try Cook,
and band Stophens over to tho Federal authorities.
“ H. A. Wise.'*
Mr. Hunter stated that he had been in cqrro
spondonce for sovoral days with Governor "Wise,
and had in his possession a number wf foots im
portant to the development of this ease, which
iroro unknown to the public, and would, for the
present, remain bo. lie had, slnco his. last letter
to the Governor, oome into the possession of other
foots which pointed to Stephens as the most Avail
able party to bo handed over to the Federal au
thority, as, he felt assurod, onough would bo ascer
tained to result in bringing before the Fedorat bar
a number of the prqipjneet Abolition fanatics of
I tho North.
Mr. Harding objected to the proceedings, and
insisted thaftho caso should bo proceeded with.
Ho w*ib not in league with Governor Wiso or any
body else, fie was not feed by any one, and would
only receive, as a compensation for bis arduous
labors ip tho casp, tfrp imatopittapee allowed by
tho CtrouiUtowrt.
Mr. Lennott remarked that he had not consulted
with bis client, and, as the Jury had partly been
chosen, ho would not consent that the State should
band over to the Government the prisoner, for
what purpose was known to Gov. Wiso, and bad
boon foreshadowed by tho remarks of Mr. Hunter.
If time had been Allowed, the trouble bad in the
eu)P4pel)jngot tho jury would have been dispensed
with.
Mr. Huntor then repjarlrpd tjiat he would then
prooeod immediately with the case of Stephens,
and hand over the prisoner Hariett, who has not
yet boon indicted, to tho Federal court. It was
material whether Stephens would prefer a trial or
t not.
Mr. Lennott then naked a delay of a moment,
for a consultation with Stephons. After whioh ho
announced that tho prisoner acoepled tho offer of
the State tq hand him over to the Federal autho
rity, and woyld tper.efqro ppofqr to bo remanded to
Jail.
Mr. Harding desired the clerk to enter his
! earnest protest against the whole proceeding!, lie
i considered tho whole proceedings wrong, .and
j wished it so shown on the dooket.
Judgo Parker to the olerk—“ l)o no such thing
I wish no such protest entered on tho docket of

The prisoner was then handed over to United

Washington, Nor. B.—As tho chief, IF not thd

the pending treaty between the United States and
Mexioo la In relation to tho proposed transit routes,
influential parties havo submitted to both Govern
ments a basis of compromise, viz: whichever Go
vernment may have forces noarest any scone of
obstruction or disturbance shall promptly interfere
for the purpose of removing it, with the privilege
of ontoring tbo territory of Its neighbor; and both,
in a emo of emergency, shall act unitedly. Tho
assistance rocontly afforded by tho Mexican troops
from Matnmoros to the people of Brownsville is
stated as an example.
Such a proposition, however, to ho incorporated
in tho treaty, must como from the Liberal Govern
ment. This, it is understood, is favorably regarded
by our own.

exceedingly ploasant. Tbo streets wero thronged
yesterday by gay promenades, eager to get a taste
of comfortable sunshine before the fnst-coming
wintor dispels its glory. Some rascally fellow,
not having the fear of pen, paito, and scissors be
fore his eyes, walked Into the hou*o of Mr. Fifr
gorald, of the Citv Itrtn, on Monday ovening. and
carried off some of his silver-plate, together with a
bundle of copy and proof-sheets, of no use to any

Marshal Blackburn’s slate ;
On Monday evening, aboutlSo’olook, a flrebToke

worehllscoyered l»y a neighbor, and extinguished
l>y tho America Hoso Oomuany, before any serious
damage had been dono. Tho origin of tho Aro was
rsthor singular. During the day a quantity of
cocoa had been roasted, preparatory to being
ground. This was put into a barrel, and placed
near the hopper. Tho cocoa retained some of tho
boat, and combustion ensued shortly after the close
of the store. The Are continued to hum slowly
until tho barrel w*l consutaod, when it extended
to tho floor and ran aero3a the room by a joist..
About the same tlmo n alight fire broke out at
tho bouse No. 147 north Front street, and was
enusod by the carelessness of the occupants of one
of the rooms, a drunken Irish couple.
Yesterday morning, about 10 o’clock, an old
frame building, on a lot on Wallace street, near
Twentieth, was discovered to bo oil fire, by two
policemen, who extinguished the flames beforo they
had gainod much headway.
A SINGULAR PJIA9E OP CRIME,—Some tIITCC

valuable goods. The robbery, which was a bold
one. was done by tbo accomplished burglar, Torn
WAlker, who subsequently died in prison, and Dr.
Fitch, who fled the city and who is now serving a
term in a Canada prison, A man named Snow,
of Hop York, who was convicted of receiving the
goods, is now »er*ing a terpi in nnr prison. On
Monday ovening, a man, named’ Thomas Ward,
the proprietor of a tavern on Dook street, below
Second, was before Recorder Eneu on a ohargo of
aiding and abetting in the robbery. Witnesses
were produced to show that \y»rd hired his horse
and wagon to tho hurglnra, for tho purpose of car
rying off silks stolen by them, to tho value of near
ten IbouiAod dollars. It was stated that Ward
was paid §25 by far t]io pro of tho wagon,
and that ho also received a silk dross pattern and
two vest patterns from tho burglars, after tho rob
bery. Ward was held in the sum of $l,OOO to an

The prioosof admission aro extremely reasonable,
and wbpo tokQU fn consideration with the patriotic
motive nnd tho extraordinary exhibition of fkill
it prompt*, should certaiuly crowd tho house. Mr.
Morphy will probably loavo tgwn op Saturday, so
this will be tho last opportunity r.f seeing him.
A Singular Courtship.—A young man
named William Mundayhas been paying atten
tions to a young lady residing in tho neighborhood
of Tenth and Ijoeiist streets for some time. During

YnsrantfAT'a feooiisihsi
(Reported for Th® Pre**.]
Fanny Fern, whose effusions bloom in the par
iho hebdomadal press, recently pictured a
thrilling; scene in one of the criminal courts,where
oer„ce the vulgar ami eager gaze of an idle crowd,
was revealed the life-story of a young and tr tsting
hear,, blasted on the very threshold of a seeminglv
happy careor,_ through the cruel wiles of the se
ducer. The s,mplo narrative—telling how, in an
unguarded moment, when her pathway was fringed
with rosy sweetness, the victim closed the windows
!? or iL 0U blessed influences which had
raddo them sparkle under the cheerful rays of a
pure homo influence, and how, when the bright
aogel of her early year* hod ceased to hover aroand
her footsteps, that he of the dark and silent win*
had almost brought tho crushed spirit to the mound
of tho cemetery—could not bat affect tho man of
sternest mould. The pages of the heart volume
wore opened to the pernsal of the careless crowd
who thronged the court room, and when the poor,
weeping girl was compelled to make the public
avowal of her shamo. and tho great wrong Inflicted
by the inhuman rove upon her and society, the
spectators bent forward and apparently rolished
tho details of her misery.
Tho fair writer justly condemns tho practice of
people crowding the courtrooms, when cases such
ns these aro brought to trial, and pities those who
delight in viewing scenes similar to that which she
hnsso faithfully sketched. We have before indulged
in like comments, and most strongly do we now add
our protest against (he evil complained of. D»y
af tor day tho benches in tho Qaarter Session are
filled by men and women , who have no business
whatever to attend to in court, who come regularly
to their accustomed scats, fer no other purpose than
to listen to all that transpires, and then, probably
to gossip to their neighbors about tho “ rich” things
which rhey have scon and heard. Only the other .
day District Attorney Loughead stated publicly to !
the court that for somo time ho had in his posses- ,
sion a bill of indictment, charging a man with an
infamous crime, which he declined to prosecute
then because there were too many WiV* present
This bill be delayed for a time, but finding it Im
possible to thin tho crowd of spectators, ho was i
compelled to elicit some most disgusting details
from tho daughter of the accused, which were the
means of convicting the prisoner.
Tho court reporter for one of the Pittsburg pa
pere reoently had a well-written article on this
sarno subject, and wo learn that his comments have
boon attended with beneficial results. We earnest
ly hopo to see a speedy chango for the better in this
respect in this looality,and then on “desertion-day,”
when family secrets are brought to the notice of the
judges, the parties interested may hope for a set
tlement of their private difficulties, without sub
jecting their names and actions to become the
property of those idlers in legitimate business, who
lose no time in making them the town-talk. We
trust to see a reform effected through the interven
tion of the court, which oertainly has tho power,
at all events, to say that peoplo who have no
business to transact in the Sessions shall not
be allowed to trespass on the places assigned for
the accommodation of members of the bar, parties
and witnessen.
District Court— Judge Hare Jacob Gum

Quartkr Sessions—Judge Thompson.—
Adnm Erford plead gnllty to the charge of assault
and battery upon Augustus Esenwine. The same
defendant plead guilty to the charge of assault and
battery on Edwanf Walton. Sentenced to pay $lO
and costs. •
George Sterne was acquitted upon the charge of
assault and battery en Lewis IT. Froort.
John Goodwin was acquitted of assault and bat
tery, and the prosecutor ordered to pay the costs.
Janies Wittiker was convicted upon a charge of
tHsinlt and battery on Samuel Kiunard. Sentenoed
to 20 days.
Margaret Johnston was put on trial upon two j
hill* of indictment, charging her with passing
counterfeit $2 notes, purporting to have been issued
by the Central Bank, of the State of New Jersey,
on Leonard Saunders and Robert Taylor. The
note passed on Robert Taylor was dated June 25th,
Jlightstowu, and was No. 2,010. The pro
secution failed to identify the noto passed on
Leonard Saunders, and the District Attorney asked
an acquittal of tho jury upon that bill. The jury
convicted her upon tho other bill. It appeared,
during the trial, that a man named Arnold was im
plicated in the circulation of these counterfeit bills,
and on the application of District Attorney Mann,
ho was held in $7OO bail to answer at court. This
proceeding, sudden and unexpected as it was. re
flects credit on the prosecuting offieerof the Com
monwealth. Poor, unfortunate creatures, who are
oftentimes convicted of passing counterfeit notes,
arc but tho mero toots or men who from a safe re
treat deal nut their bogus money. The law should
fako hold of this class, and impose its severest pen
alties.
A poor German woman named Catharino Erren
bnrg was charged with having committed an as
sault and battery. It was of a trivial nature, and
just of that chKs of eases which ought never to be
sent into court Win M. Bull, Fsq., appeared as
roun«<d for the defence. A verdict of guilty was
rendered. Sontenced to pay a fine and the costs.
Peter Brown was charged with having commit
ted «n as«ault and battery on Malvina Clark. The
alleged offence is said to have been committed
during the removal of sortie property, about the
ownership of wbiah then had been somo dispate.
J. Alexander Simpson for the defence. Verdict
guilty. Sentenced to pay a fine of five dollars and
the costs.
Michael Ferry was charged with assault and bat
tery and coovictod. Sentenced to pay a fine of ono
dollar and the costs.

It appearing, by tho bill and exhibits and tho

merits has been bad before tbe Circuit Court of
the United States for tbo district of Maryland,
and that tho complainants have obtained a judg
ment in their favor in said esnse. by which judg
ment both the validity of tho patent and the legal
litlo of tho complainants to it have been sustained,
tho bill shows a pritna fitcle cose for an injunc
tion. Although tho decision of any other of tho
Circuit Courts of the United Slates is not binding
upon this court, yot it his always boon tho pra<».
tloo of the courts of the United State*, on the
principle of aiultv, to regard tho decision of the
courts of other circuits ns establishing a prima

in a case for infringement of a patent. If, there
fore, this court bad any doqbt in regard to tbe
ease innelo by the complainants, (upon which point
it is not to express nn opinion,! tbe
court would still consider tha judgment of tho
Circuit Court of Maryland upon the matters in

The Courier and Enquirer lays: The bank
statement for the past week present* some remark
able features. The specie reserve reported * week
ago was certainly none too large, and in the face of
a foreign export of gold for the past ten months
exceeding slxty-two millions of dollar* it was op
posed that no enlargement of the discount line
would occur at present, bat we find an increase of
a million and three quarters.

Of tbe finances of Georgia, Governor Brown says
ia his annual message last week:
“ There being a large unexpended balance In
tbe treaiury, after providing for all legal appro
priations, Including interest upon the pnMfe debt,
and fifty thousand five hundred dollars of the bonds
which fell due during the year, with a view to
carry into effect, as far as possible, the objects of
the act. I ordered the treasurer to give notice in
tbe puttie gasettes that he would redeem, ai p»V
at the treasury, or in Avgusta or Savannah, the
bonds cf the SU*s not yet due. Alter several
mouths of advertisement, he was able to find only
£99.250 of hood* not due which the holders were
willing to part with at par. Those ha redeemed,
together with $1,297.50 of Interest which had
accrued upon them, which was not yet dee.
As directed by tbe statute, I bare issued, wpoQ
the redemption of these bonds, $150,000 of new
bonds, dated the first day of this mouth, duo twenty
year* after date, bearing six per cent- interest,
payable annually. These bonds aro payable to the
Secretary of State, aa the trustee of the educa
tional fund of Georgia, and are deposited In his
office; the interest upon which will, in future, be
distributed annually as part of the school fuad.”
The Bcn-ien* Magazine for November, 1350,

Homans, E«p, New York. This journal is of great t
value to those engaged in financial matters, and con
tains much that is worthy of permanent preserva
tion. Tbe present number Is a very good one.
The Charleston Courier says; ,; A Convent ion
will be held In Memphis, on the l&’h inst, to
‘ adopt such measure* as will obtain a rail road con
nection between the South and the city of St Louis,
by extension of the Iron Mountain Railroad
southwardly.’ Great preparations are being made
to give effect to this Convention, and it is probable
that all the adjoining States wilt be represented.
The municipal authorities of St. Louis hare already
