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

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.

fire at a rood e let—Sttaaer
Jrannta Deaaa
There was a destructive fire iu Garondeie^
near St. Louis on Saturday. 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

have it from good authority that Jeff. Davis
will be tried in Richmond in June, upon the
indictment recently found by the Grand Jury
at Norfolk, providing Chief Justice Chase
will consent to preside in the circuit court,
there to be convened. There will be no de
lay on account of the investigation going on
before the House Judiciary Committee.
Should that investigation, and the action of
Congress thereon, not be concluded it is not

a copy of the indictment has been deposited

Chief Justice Chase has signified his wil
lingness to preside over the court in Virginia,
on condition that the President issue a pro
clamation abrogating martial law in that
State, so far as the United States forces are
concerned. The Chief Justice had an inter
view with the President on the subject last
week, and the probabilities are that the lattpr
