THE PILOT.
MANITOWOC:
FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 27, 18C0
The Charleston Convention.
By lelcgraj.b end steamer we learn ot
some facts and many rumors, relative to
proceedings in, and at, the Democratic
National Convention, now assembled at
Charleston for ifce nomination of candi
date' fo President and Vice President of
the United States.
The Convention is permanently organ
ized by the choice of Caleb Cushing, of
Massachusetts, for President, with the usu
al number of Vice Presideuis and Secreta
ries.
It is aid that the opponents of Mr.
Douglas will concentrate upon Mr. Ulst
er. of Virginia ; that Mr. Douglas will
’ r, i
liave a majority of the Convention, but
| cannot command the necessary two thirds
to secure the nomination ; and that the
delegates from six Southern States threat
-1 O
en to secede from the Convention, unless
either the candidate, nr the platform, is
made to suit the ideas of Southern extrem
ists
Wo give this last, however, aa a tele
graphic tumor onlv ; which should be re
ceived with suspicion, inasmuch as the
telegraph lines being almost entirely in the
possession of Republicans, report only
such political rumors as Republicans like
to hear.
Th-re is no doubt that the Charleston i
Convention will give us a good candidate j
for a leader in the coming national con
te*t; and a platform, upon which the na
tional men in all portions of the Union,
can honestly and patriotically stand and
do battle fur the Union, and for Democrat
ic principles. Democrats, as individuals, !
may be disappointed by not having the man
of their choice nominated ; but they must
remember that every member of the party
cannot he gratified in the nomination ; and
that the Convention will designate that
man as our standard bearer, whom they
believe to be the most acceptable to the
whole party of the nation; and that so
long as he truly represents, and adheres
to our time honored principles, and pos
sesses the ability and experience to admin
ister the government in accordance there
with, as good Democrats, it is clearly our
duty to submit cheerfully to the action of
our Convention, and give to the nominees
the same hearty support as if our personal
preferences had been consulted and grati
fied.

as is possible, is essential to the admission
of any patients into the hospital.
£J~ Thousands of letters misdirected or
never called tor at the Post < )ftice, annual
ly find their way to the Dead Letter Office
at Washington. The law, however, re
cently enacted, provides a way fur the re
turn of the-e letters to the writers. It is
lawful to request the Postmaster at the of
fice to which the letter is directed, to re
turn if, unless called for within thirty days
and when this request is made, it becomes
the duty of the Postmaster to return it to
the writer without expense to him. This
request can be written on the flap of the
envelope, and would read as follows :
Please return to the undesigned, unless
called for within thirty days.
(Signed)
The arrangement will commend itself to
businessmen who have an extended cor
respondence, and without a doubt be gen
erally adopted.

The Judicial Election in this
State.
From the Madison Patriot of the 21st,
we learn that the official returns have been
received at the office of tiie Secretary of
Slate, fiom all the counties in the Stale
except La Pointe; and that after rejecting
all the votes relurccd with wrong initial#,
the vole will stand for
Dixon, 58,0 GS
Sloan, 57.970
Majority for Dixon, OS i
The County of La Pointe will increase i
this majority to about 200
Should all the votes be canvassed which
were clearly intended for the two candi- !
dates, Dixon and Sloan, respectively, the j
majority for Dixon would be about 2000.
At all events it is now certain, that unless |
the returns from entire counties are reject
ed by the State Canvassers for mere infor
malities, Dixon will be canvassed in a hap
py result.
We give below the official majorities.

Great Fire in Kenosha.
Another terrible conflagration occurred j
at Kenosha oa Sunday morning, consum- j
ing some of the best buildings in the city,
and destroying property to the amount of
$135,000 or more. We get the following
particulars from the Telegraph's extra;
One of the most devastating fires, with
which this city has yet been visited, occur
red yesterday morning. The the was first
discovered about 3 o’clock A. M , in a barn
in the rear of *.he store ol J. G. Gottfresuon
on the east side of Main street The flames
spread with such inpidity, as to reach sev
eral buildings, before the engines were got
ten on the ground and ready fo r action
The devouring element seemed eager to
destroy everything combustible in the
vicinity within the shortest possible space
of time. A strong north easterly wind
prevailed a portion of the time, which as
sisled much in spreading the fire to the
adjacent buildings. Never betore was this
place visited with such a destructive fire ;
many more such would be impossible, for
for want of material to feed the flames.
From the spot above named where the
fire first originated, it spread rapidly in
different directions, especially north, south
an went, and was not arrested until the en
tire space several rods north of the Kunal’s
House on both sides of Main street, also
south of Uunal’s House on both sides of
Main street, the distance of an entire block;
also west the distance of a block on Wis
consin street.
The I'elegraph then describes the build
ings and property destroyed, and estimates
the loss at $135,003. It is but a few
weeks since that same town was visited by
another serious and heavy conflagration.
Pardoned bv the President. —A par
don for Abram Fecchtwanger, who was
convicted in Milwaukee a year since fur
forging Land Warrants in connection with
A. J. Clrke, reached that city a few days
since, and was immediately dispatched to
Waupun. The pardon was granted by
the President, and was to take effect at
the expiration of one year of Fecchtwan
oek’s sentence. Tho Saturday Gazelle
says that there is no difference among
those who know anything about the case
but that ‘‘ Fkcchtwanoer was more the
simple and unsophisticated dupe of a w ily
knave, than criminal, aud the Presidential
clemency was well directed in his pardon.”
It also adds that the pardon was obtained
through the instrumentality of Hon. M.
Steever, the Petlmaster of Milwaukee
which act reflect! credit upon his head and
heart.

Marvelous Reports.
The golden tide- that come Iron. < Jregon
will tempt thoasn- Is to th*-ir ruin, but as
a faithful chronic ler of the news we must
give them as they are told us. An Ote
gon paper says;
The Hold Hi I! in Southern Oregon,
yields *lO to every pound of quartz, and
one piece of four pounds gave eleven ounces
and thirteen dollars, another of three
pounds yielded six ounces; another ot
fourteen pounds gave thirty six ounces;
and the smallest yield *2 to the pound
Thecompany have on hand a t< n of quartz
um-runhed and the piospect is as bright
as ever for fur.her yields. This is what is
called the Ross Claim.
Another company in the Ish which
from -100 pounds of rock had 411 ounces
of gold. One piece of fifty-five pounds
yielded twelve on ces and a half of gold.
The company has already extricated £125,
000 and the ledge is increasing in richness.
The Alla California speaks of the arri
val from these mines of Mr. Phillip Meach
er, who had with him a number of speci
mens of gold quartz. Says the Alia :
One of these weighed between two ar and
three pounds, and was broken off ad libi
turn by Mr. Meacher, f rom the Maury
mine. It is perfectly filled with gold, so
that it may as appropriately be called
quart/, gold as gold quartz. In fact, the
gold is appaient all over and through it
This splendid piece is to he sent to Wash
ington Monument, and will be a splendid
exempler of tHe immense richness of the
Pacific slope of the continent. There were
a!-o half a dozen smaller pieces, which,
with tiie large one, will be exhibited in this
city'. Our informant is a perfectly relia
ble man, well known in this city. lie
says that the story of two men having
taken out ?50.00'd is quite true. He went
into the excavations of both of the mines
—the loh and the Maury—and saw for
himself the wonderful richness of the
placers. It was more like a scene of ev
chantment—Aladdin’s wonderful lamp or
some o het farciful creation of the Arabi
an Nights —than the reality of sober facts.
Above, around, everywhere, the very walls
of the excavations were specke 1 with gold.
Gold Hill seems to be the hea l quarters
of the gold, as none is found along the
Rogue liver, above that place, while be
low, for many miles, the canons, gulches,
and the hanks of tue river, have been f up <1
to pay some as high as ten or fifteen dol
bus to the hank, and others showing only
the color. The present season has been
an unusually dry one, and this prompted
many men to start out prospecting, for
want of water when these general discov
cries were made. After the Maury claim
was discovered, one of the men, who had
been herding cattle at or near Gol ! Hill,
remembered that he hail found a-piece of
quartz on lire top of tiro hill, sometime be
1 fore, Ish Company, with a common aras
i tra, crushed up four hundred pounds of
quartz, from which they extracted four
hundred and forty four ounces gold, which
| would make the rock average about thirty -
i five thousand dollars to the ton.
Political Puraciiis'g. —The Hartfurt
(Conn) Times gives a report of a scene
which came off in a Methodist church in
the town of Portland on Sunday, the day
preceding the ate election. A divinity
student from Weslyan Univer>ity, Middle
town, went over there to preach. The
Times goes on to say that the town is
strongly democratic, giving 40D majority
for Seymour, and states that the student
g ive utterance in his sermon to rank abo
lition sentiments. \V e give the followiug
in the language of the Times :
Mr. Kellogg Strong of that town, an
old Jefferson an democrat, stood it as long
as he could, and then rose in his place in
the church and spoke in a I,nil voice to
the preacher Young man, yo i can a
here to preach the gospel. I came here
to hear it. An I mile -s you cease this
preaching of politics I shall go up into
that pulpit and lake von out of it.’’ The
preacher sto; t ,ed in his discourse. One
of the congregation said to Mr. Stiong,
“Brother Strong, he is a young man. —
Perhaps you are a little to hard on him "
1 1 is because he is young,” replied Mr.
Strong, “ that I desire to teach him let
ter.” The preaching was then resumed
—but no more politics was preached dur
ing that sermon !”
Tiii? Atlantic Telegraph. —ln London
on the 18111 uit., lion. J. S. Woktlky,
president of the Atlantic Telegraph Com
pany, made the following statement in ref
erence to the plans on foot for the recov
ery of the old cable :
He was happy to say that Captain Kell
was under orders from this board to pro
ceed to Newfoundland, and they had pur
chased a vessel (one of the !arge>t and
strongest of the Deal luggers) w.hich was
considered admirably adapted to assist him
in carrying out the operation of searching
for the cable. Captain Kell was confi lent
he should be enabled to recover the whole
of the cable extending to a place called
New Serlicon. 'I his would be a saving of
forty or fifty miles, and it was estimated
that tiny should get £2O per mile for the
worst of it, and £4O for the best part. —
Captain Kel! would be accompanied by
Mr. .Sanders, a gentleman distinguished for
his skill in electricity ; and by Mr. Varley
the electrician of this company, and hence
there was every reason to believe that the
object in view would be earned out in the
most satisfactory manner. The operations
to which he referred would also bo pursued
on the \ alentia side, where the depths
1 were such that the:e would bo no diffi-ul-
I ty in raising the cable. In short, those
who had undertaken the task fell confident
that they should be able to raise 250 miles
, of cables on the Irish side, and it was
; thought that the “fault” would be dis
covered to be about ISO miles from the
Ii ish shore.

the two great fighting men :
lleenan was brought before the magis
trate at Derby, and charged with an inteu
lion of engaging in a prize tight, thereby
causing a breach of the peace, Mr. Leech
appeared in Lis behalf, and said lleenan
had never broken the peace in England,
and had no intention of doing so. True
he may have made use of harsh language
in the excite cent of his capture when his
passion was aroused; but when he consid
er* 1 lie had been bunted out of eight
counties, while his opponent, Sayers, was
allowed to go with the greatest impunity,
he did feel sore at the treatment he was
receiving. He apologized if he had used
expressions which he ought not. Two re
spectable gentlemen were ready to give
bail to the amount required. He hoped
the bench would assess the bail at a small
amount. The Clerk announced that the
bench agreed to take lleenan's own re
cognizance for 60/, with two purities in
26/ each. (Loud applause) He added
that the authorities had no feeling beyond
the preservation of the peace. It was sta
ted by the court that lleenan could not
he further interfered with anywhere unless
he broke the peace.
The sureties were promptly signed, and
lleenan and his friends left Derby for Lon
don.
Hell’s Life was most indignant at the
capture, which it attributed to lleenan
and his friends going to a place where
they were almost certain of arrest. A
subsequent edition exonerates Heenan,and
says he took all necessary precaution, em
ploying a man to sound the police and put
them off the track. This person deceived
lleenan and his friends, and "five informa
tion that led to his arrest. Bell's Life in
dignantly scouts tV,o idea that Sayers and
ms friends 'caused the arrest, and states

Terrific Hukhicaxe in Mississippi. —
The Mobile Mercury of the slh learns that
a most terriffic hurricane passed through
Landerdale countv, Miss, Saturday night
last. It adds the following particulars:
The blow was very hard at Marion sta
tion, but blew down no houses. But the
hurricane made itself a terrible path thro’
a part of the country near by. At Judge
Chapman’s place it prostrated every house
but his dwelling, and that was much dam
•aged —no person seriously hurt. It took
It. 15. G. Harper’s place in its route and
tore it ail to pieces. Further on it struck
the plantation of J. B. McDonald, where it
killed one negro and wounded four others,
and badly huit both himself and wife. —
His dwelling house, and every other house
on the place, were blown down, and not a
single panel of fence left standing. Old
Mrs. Crane’s house was blown down and
herself so badly injured that it is doubtful
if she recovers ; her leg w as broken in two
places. Mis. Judge Daniels new house
was badly damaged by having a large tree
blown down upon it. Mrs. Daniels, with
her familv, had gone to Marion aud stay
ed over night, which was a lucky circum
stance aud saved them from probable iu
jury.
Death ok the last Survivor of Wy
oming Massac ice. —The ilaiisburg (Pa.)
Telegraph of the loth iust. says;
W e have intelligence of the death of
Mrs. I*. Weeden, the last survivor of the
ever to he remembered Wyoming massa
cre. We need scarcely remind our readers
of the horrors attending this frightful
event. J;i n single night the entire settle
ment was laid waste, and most of tire in
habitants were murdered in cold blood by
Indians and the British. The historians
nave told the frightful tale, and all are
familiar viih .1. lire poet Campbell lias
also U Id it in superb'verse. A few of tire
inhabitants escaped, among whom was the
family of \V. Martin, Mrs. Weeden’s father.
Mrs. Weeden was twelve years old at the
time, and she retained a vivid recollection
of the massacre until her death. She was
a prisoner with her sister in the fort where
every male was put to death by the toma
hawk. The sister left the Vallay with her
mother, and traveled with the flag ol truce,
through the t en dense forest, till within
tuny miles of the Connecticut river. There
they wore met by two of Mr. Martin s sons
and taken Colchester. Mr. Martin and
his family left lihode Island for Wyoming,
Pennsylvania, a few years before the mas
sacie, performing the aiduous journey on
lout. That was the day of iron hands,
brave and wills that never faltered.

Getting Personal. —The Racine Jour
nal, a republican paper, sums up the ‘‘cause
of the defeat ’’ of the Republican candidate
for Chief Justice, and gives the leaders of
the party a “dig in the ribs” because they
didn’t nominate Ju Ige Smith, in this style:
“ We have already male ourselves
nre'ty well understood, as regards the
reason for the deteat of one ol the candi
dates for Chief Justiceship. We will not
call him the Republican candidate, as he
never received the cordial support of those
who nominated him, nor those who were
reluctantly compelled to vote for him. It
w as a foolish move of short sighted would
be leaders of the Republican party that
notnin ite i him, and the result nas vindi
cated their claims to stupidity. ’

In connection with the above, the New
York Courier says that their private advi
ces from Europe are far more belligerent
than the general reader would inter from
the tone of the public press; and it should
not excite surprise, if at an early day a gen

ble. A friend writes us—“Tliegeneial
quiet may remain undisturbed for mouths;
it is certainly within the range of proba
bilities that there may be no war. But 1
tell you frankly, all the probabilities are
against any such supposition; and you
must be prepared for an explosion at any
moment, la my judgment a geneial war
is inevitable.”
