We do look for a panio in the stock market, but there is no reason why that should affect legitimato businoss, Among the candidates for the Ropublican nom- foation fu the First District tho name of John ©C.

Mr, Doro was probably tho best Stato Senator who ever wontto Springfiold from this city. o ls u man of large commorclal {nformation end experience, has boen President of the Board of Trudo, and is known to the community a4 a gentleman of unblemished integrity. A Commission was latoly appointed by Pres- ‘ident Gravt to ascertain whothior the Uuion Pa- oific Raitrord Low beou comploted within the merning of the law providing for its construc- tion. ‘Tho report of this Commission is now ready to besubmitted.

Wo eball walt with some curiosily to seo whether Mr. Hammond will roach a differont conclusion. e Tostmastor-Goneral Jowoll s said by some irresponsiblo nowspaper-corroapondents to have sont fu hiy resiguntion. Al the probabilitics are againt tho truth of this roport. ‘o Postmastor- Geueral i still engaged In roforming tho ad- ministration of bis Department.

This cortainly conveys no intimation of an intention to reeign. Tho only conceivable reason for tho displacenient of Mr, Jowell is that ho may ho teo honest & man for the pur- poscs of the purt) Mr, J. H, Pickrell, of Macon County, I8 the candidato for Congross of tho united Opposition in tho Fouvteentl District of this State, Mr. Pickrell is o farmer who has for mnny yoars dovoted himself' to raising cattlo of the. flucst broeds, findivg that businoss more profitable thao raising comnion stock., So successful hng ho boen that his hords of superior cattle havo takea the prizes ot all the local fairs at which they bave been exhibited. 1fr. Pickroll has beon rogarded by his neighbors ss asors of public benofactor, and his onterprise in importing superior cattlo, aud thus gradually improvieg tho stock in tunt part of tho Btate, ks won tho commendation of all claeses of pooplo. Iis hords have been the prido of Central IHinols, At Jast, Mr, Pickroll accopted the Farmers’ nom- iuntion for Congross against the Ropublican. Thon he was discovered to be a mouster of iniquity, a fraud, and an onemy of the farmers. Tho Champaign Gazelle, edited by a Postmaster, thus proves Pickrell to have no interest in com- mon with tho farmers : .

The people also have como to about the same con- clusion as Mr. MeMahon with regard to conven- tione, not because McMahon is disapvointed, but beeauso McMahon was nominated at all. As thoy look over the list of mominoes they wonder quite ay curiously as AfcMabon why conventions are called, The oply differoueo is thoy look at it in one way sud McMalon in another. 'If Me- 1Mabion, howover, had boon allowed to run, he would provably have looked at it after election very much a8 other people do.

Feow politicians make any allusion to the former deflclt, but nearly all go pretty scrong on the war-record, although it puzzles common people to trace any counection botween a war which took placa dozen years ago and the legis- lation necessary for the prosent condition of the Stato of Ilinois. Upon tbo povaity chargo, Melabon sotties tho Committee with a single staloment: “If povorty is s crime at my ago, I plead guilty, Tho groatest legisla- tors of our country wore at my ngo| oqually a3 poor.” That Is, by rojecting Mo)Makon, tho country has lost another Webster or Oluy, This is hard; but this is not all, There is some consolation for MoMahon. Nearly all groat poets, savants, soldiers, and pricsts, woro a8 puor a8 MoMahon st his ago. Thero is o pos- eilility, thoroforo, thut he may yet blossom out in somo of thoso directions and asionish the world, and thon wo shall feet more than com- .| ponsated for the loss of that statesmanship for which his poverty so well qualified bhim, like Wobstor sud Clay. AcMahon's dofenso is logi- cal enough as far aa 1t goes, Webator waa poor Wobster bocamo a great statesman., MoMahon 18 poor; therofore, MoMabon will bo a groat statesman, It ju sad that clrcumatances ruthe lessly crush hia syllogiem.

Eightaon yeara ngo, tho Buttons aud the Tay- lora llved near ench othor In Alabama. Tho natural result was that two represeniativos of the difforont familios died near cach othor. 1ln lifo thoy wore togathier and fu death thoy wero nob divided, until thoir respectivo bowlo-kmves woro extracted by surviving friends from thoir respootive stomachs, Boon after this littlo oc- ourronce, ong family moved to Westorn Toxas.

A littlo judiolons hushwhacking brought tho acoro ebontovon. The Bation spirit rovived, and simultaneously the spirits of tho. Taylors ngain bogan to wing thofr way to tholr future homo. Hays Taylor depavtod this lifo in 1871, His trothor Doboy joined him nost Now Yoer's, dark Taylor lost all intorcst in carthly things o fow months aftorwards, and Pitkin Taylor stop- ped out of his houso into oternity boforo tho gravs on Mark's gravo was green. The Suttons discovored that the Kelletts wero related to the Taylors, Tho Kellotts cumber Toxan prairies no more. It must mnot be inforred that tho Taylors wore paselve during sll this time. They fook & band in whonover thoy had a clianee, and succocded in cloaring thoir happy bunting-grounds of at Jeast fivo adberents of tho Sutton faction, Enrly lust upring, tho Sat- tons enared tho Taylors, They caught all that survived of {hem, and, a8 a Texan paper eupho- mistically puts it, *‘would have ended the difil- cultics,” had wot outside interforsnce seoured the signing of n treaty of pence. This was ap- parently good only on land, for Willinm Sutton was shot as soon as the Taylors fouud him ou o stoamehip. Williamn Taylor was clapped ‘into nil for his share in the affray, and his brotbor Snup, who was In juil already, was taken ont snd shot offhaud, o4 & cheerful warning to Willism. Toxas would now liko to try tho prigoner, but no jury con be got.

If tho presont rate of ulnughtor is maintalned, thero is somo chanco that Taylors and Suttons canunt be produced in sufficient numbots to moot the demand, Until the bappy oxtinction of both families, Texan undertnkers need not foar dearth of business, RAILWAY MORIALITY. Railway servants lead a life full of risk. Tho numbers of {his class of porsons wounded aud Lilled esch year is appalling—so appalling that tho railway companies manifost tho utmost anxiety to keep the statistics boaring on tho sub- jeco from tho -public. In Englwud the rallway companuies are required by statute to furnish an- nually 8 return of the railway sccidents attended with Joss of lifa or personalinjury, Thocompsnios, it would soem from a report sent to the London Times by Mr. M, T. Bass, bave mado roturns 88 required, but most lnacourato ones, The compunies aro subjected to a fine for any error In their atatistics, and so nwmerous lLave these orrors beon that the aggregnto of fines hs reached thie immonso figuro of $2,000,000. Thus tho Lancashire & Yorkshire Company roported that thirty-nine of their servants wore killed and seventy-threo ivjured in 1872, 'Who fact is, that fifty-four wero killed and 1,367 wjured. So at lenst Mr. Bass’ roport says. On all the railways in Englond thers weio rotwmed killed dur- ing tho suwo yoar 632, and injured 1,305. Mr. Dhillips, sgont of Mr, DBass, orgues that tho number of killed was 1,080, aud of injured 27,340, This last year the accidents on English railways have beon even more numerous than in 1872, It ia catimated thit during thoe lust yor 1,300 rallway sorvants wero Lilled on Euglish railways, and 27,000 wjured. Tho number of injured, accord- ing to the returns, was only 1,171, an orror of 25,8291 Eight railway companies havo mado erroncous returns lagt yoar. The number of Lillod returnod by the Laucashira & Yorkshive Raitway Compnny, for instance, was only thirty- uive. Tho roal number it scems was 1,817, Somo of theso non-offieinl statistics are only inferentlal, Thero is, bowevor, overy rongon to bolieve thot thoy are much moro rel'abio than thoso furnishod by tho railway compauios thowsolves. It eemms probable that logal proceedings againgt the dofaulting compaulen will bo instie tuted by the British Board of Trade, It is to bo Loped that, in tho intorest of the seourity of lifo and limb, such proceedings will be bogun, I'he prosecution of tho cowpanios which bave falled to seud in nccurato returna of the nam- bor of their servants killod nod wounded will bave o tondency to make them mora reapectful of human Iifo. Henco its advisability, It is narvated that in Kinswan, Trambull County, 0., thero is a little girl of 10 years who Das doveloped a faculty of seoing without tho uso of oyes, Somo months ago un cldor sister was altacked with fuflemmation of tho oyon, aud the younger one attouded her until sbe regained lier sight. The lttlo nureo was aftorwards t- tacked with tho samo discaso, und completoly lost her sight. or oyes wore sccurcly baudaged to exatude the light, aud suio was coafined in a darkoned room.

Ono noticoablo feature of it will bo the formation of subordinato leagues among tho Catholio women of the country. If American wonton over get the uuilrage, the trajving they have had aud aro having in parlinmentary usages, aud the ways of influomcing pub- lic action by their mombership in the Grauges aud eimilar politico-sacial leagues, will bo of pgreat beocfit to them and their country. Tho most noteworthy resnlt of tho Convention was the resolve to afiliate tho Union, if possible, with the Catholic abstiuence Aocictien of England avd Ireland. 'The aid of Archibishop Manning kas boon iuvoked for tho aecomplishment of this object. If it is granted, n great impetus will be given to tho work.
