POSTPONED.—A few weeks ago the Demo enrtfe Central Committee published a straight out Democratic call for a State Convention of the party, to be held at DeeMoines next month. It looked as if the party had pirked up courage and had determined to assume a show of pluck and honesty, and stand up bv their name and their record before the people pncji more. But their hearts soon failed them, their knees trembled, they experienced a weakness in the Lumbar It is evident that the Copperhead creation can't stand alone in Iowa, and unless it finds nurses and pap very speedily, it will not sur vive the dug days. pap Any one who will under take to nurse the thingand provide the neces sary for its nourishment wilt entitled to name it, and make such disposition of it as he, she or they may see fit, for it is now in the condition of a destitute foundling exposed to pertain death. Bullion.—ttt. Louis is opposed to the con struction of any bridge over the Mississippi north of that city. The steamboat interests of the West sympathises with St. Louis in her opposition to bridges across the Mississippi river. Hence the St. Louis Chamber of Com merce get up a memorial to Congress, to j&eet their case and secure their object, and prevent the erection of &i>y bridge between St. Louis and Rock Island. And this memo rial is sent up the river to get signed in the river towns, and we notice that some of our own citizens are read? to sacrifice the in terests of Keokuk in the matter by signing the memorial.

Among th/e property destroyed w«« th^ steamer Jeannie Deans, belonging to the Keokuk Packet Company, and by which the company is loser to the amount of some sixty thousand dollars. gives the following account pf the fire At twenty minutes before 6 o'clock in the af ternoon of Saturday last, flames were seen is suing from the moulding room of the works of tha'Carondeiet, Marine and Dock Company, in tluj southern part of Carondelet, on the bank of tjie rivar just below the Union Iron Works and beat yard of Captain Eads. Notwithstanding the lar^ number of men who were at work in the yard th cCerts to extinguish the flames were unsuccessful, pwing to confusion, negligence and bad man agement. A good supply of gutta percha hose was brought out, but there being no water in the tank or water barrels, the hose was dropped and left to bp melted by the heat. in few minutes the long line of wooden sheds aoveping the machinery, Ac., was in flames, and the steamer Jeannie Deans, lying on the ways for repairs, caught fire, and was soon reduced to ashes. She belonged to the Keokuk Packet Company, and was valued at #00,000. She was not insured. In 18»H) an other steamer Jeannie Deans, owned by the same company, vas put on the same way for repairs, and shortiy after being dropped into the water she took fire and was destroyed. Tin) steamer Schuyler was on the cradles, nearer the water, on Saturday, and was saved from destruction by the untiring and well di rected efforts of her crew. The Captain should give his men an extra month's pay. The hull of the steamer Leviathan, destroy ed by fire last winter at the foot of Market street, was lying in the water just below the ways, having been fitted up as a wharf boat, and narrowly escaped a second burning. The men of the yards worked hard to save her, one of them abandoning his chest of tools to destruction in order to assist in getting the Leviathan out of the way. The steamer Clara Poison was lying a short distance below, and escaped injury, lhe keel of Captain La Barjre's new boat was on tae stocks just above the ways, and was not injured. In addition to the destruction of the sheds, the saw mill and planing mill were burnt. Four of the cradles were greatly damaged the others, from being in the water nnder the Schuyler, were not damaged. The new saw mill at the south side of the yards escaped entirely. The damage to the machinery, etc., is esti mated by Mr. Emerson at $120,000. There W no insurance on anything. The works belong to five packet companies and r. Emerson, the Superintendent, yi« Keokuk Packet Company, Atlantic and Miss issippi, Northern Packet Line, Illinois Packet Company, and the Johnsonville Packet Com p*nv. While the fire was raging one of our ferry boats went down, but after getting there only one short section of hose was found on board, and she returned without doing any good. With an adequate supply of hose, she might saved a considerable amount of property from destruction. Mr. Emerson is satisfied that the fire was the work of an incendiary. He had received an anonymous letter, warning him to look 0ft for torpedoes and explosive missiles, and the probability is that some enemy of the ISOmpany aet the bnildine on fire. The yards g*ve emplovment to a large •amber of men, a reujority of whom will be thrown out of emploment for a short time. works will be rebuilt withoqt delay. Gen.

Tribune's The Post May 15. Washington special says: I have it from good authority that Jeff.

There will be no de lay on account of the investigation going on before the House Judiciary Committee.
