SHERMAN’S NOMINATION A SOCKDOLAGER | fhe Democracy Urged to Take Tecumseh and Geary as Their Standard Bearers. imei HARRISBURG, May 9, 1871. As the time for the final adjournment of the Legis- Jature is rapidly approacaing, legislation is being carried on with railroad speed, Tht morning, be- tween the hours of ten and one o’clock, the bills on three" private calendars, amounting to 300, were passed. The republican convention to nominate State ofMcers meets in this place on Wednesday of next ‘week. There are but three gentlemen seeking the nomination for Auditor General, viz.:—General Har- Tisom Allen, State Senator from) Warren county; Dr. Stanton, of Beaver, and Miles 8, Humphries, member of the House from Allegheny. For Surveyor General, Hooten, of Chester; Wilson, of Centre, and Colonel Biath, of Schuylkill, are the only candidates named, The most important duty the convention will be called upon to perform is the election of a chair. man of the State Central Commitiee. Whoever is selected next week will be called upon to serve wutll after the PreswWential election: hence an earnest de- sire is manvested to secure the services of @ popular man. Without doubt the choice will fall upon Butler B. Strang, of Tioga, late Speaker ef the House. The fact is a herculean task is before any one who accepts the office, henge there are no can- didates seeking the place. The democratic convention also meets here the. week following, and, unlike their opponents, there is & scramble for the chairmanship of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee; tne choice will most likely be Senator Willttam M. Randall, o Scnuyikwl!. The democracy. alive to the importance of having the Workingmen’s Union with thom, are wisely considering the propriety of szlecting tetr chairman with the view of carrylug the 3.000 membérs of the Mingr’s Association in the interests of democracy;-therefore the chances are strongly in favor of Senator Randall, President Grant was in gbis vicinity last Saturday and the Saturday previous. On the occasion of his first trip the House passed a resolution inviting him to visit the House of Representatives, then in session. The President declined the honor.’ fis return to the same nelghborhood agaia in a week bas set the quidnuncs to surmising a cause for his frequent visita to tne capital of this State, and they have concluded as follows:—A etition: of last fall’s clections in 1572 requires Pennsylvania to go Tepublicn in order to elect a republican Presi- lent; and how to do that 1s what concorns the President; so he just took a run over here to see how ew Senator Cameron 1s In Pennsylvania, and if the Keystone is sure for the republicans, it Cameron is named for Vice President.

He stated, “It 1s greatly to be desired that univer. sal peace, amity and national feilowship and brotherhood should again prevail throughout our country. And the times, I trust, close at hand, when this grand and_ perfect consumma- tion will be effected by universal amnesty. It would efface the Ingerin distinctions which are fostered by punishment of the very few for crimes in which very oi participated, and Temove the last pretext for hostility against a gove ernment whose iasngniniey as the crowning glory of its power. 1¢ will accord with enlightened and rogreesive civilization and uarmonize with the ested might and grandeur of free institutions.

Cameron is interested in a dozen large corporations—railroad and otherwisc—in the State, and the 200,000 workingmen are solidly against any nau Who fs thus identified with ratiroads, I must not neglect to inform you that Governor Geary stated eniy yesterday the peopie of Pennsyl- vania may rest secure from any fear of military arrest under the proclamation of the President lately issued. The Governor will not tolerate the grrest of any citizen of thts State under a suspen- Gion of the writ of habeas corpus, He will use the strong power of the military of the State—and tt is stronger now than ever—to protect citizens of this Commonwealth irom such arrests, ‘There 1s no truth whatever in the assertion made by a New York paper last week that Governor Cur- un is en: to take a scat in Grant's Cabl- net. The statement, however, had the effect to cause Curtin’s warm'friend, Colonel A. K. McClure, to pro- vide himself with a writ of de lunatico inquirendo, so that ifsuch @ contingency shonid arise, while Cumin is on bis way to Washington, Mcvlure in- tends to inquire os to his iunacy witha view of placing him in Kirkbride’s, Curtin 1s not wanted in the Grant councils.

GRAY, ~ 8. OAKLEY VANDERPOOL THE EXAMINATION, Upon an entrance into the cell of Rulloff the pri- soner was sitting upon a cot bed, surrounded by books and apparently intent npon study. He had on @ white shirt and light pants, and presented no appearance of cOucern or anxiety. He had not been previously informed of our arrival ‘and upon an announcement by the Sheriff he indl- cated no marked surprise externally, but rose, and, With some appearance of hesitation, received us, Immediately, upon understanding the ovject of the commission, Rulloff said:— “Gentlemen, this is no work of mine; F don’t pre- tend to be either insane or an idiot. Lam feeble in body, a3 you may see; but this has not affected my mind. The proposal of a commission 1s no move of mine.” After a little prelimmary conversation ne was in- formed that the Governor had ordered the examina- Mon, and that it was no idle curiosity that brought the commission there, but almply a duty; that they desired to make a thorough examination, and, first, of his physical condition, To this he gave ready assent, aud said that he did not desire to conceal or deceive, APPEARANCE OF THE MURDERER, Rullof is & man about five feet eight inches in height; head large and broad, with the facial line almost perpendicular; under jaw square; chin broad; mouth rather large, with closely compressed. lps; nose Bmall; eygs dark gray, with large pupils and steady; the wuole expression of face concen- trated, showing great seli-control and power of at- tention; shoulders broad, chest full—in fact, a com» pact, vigorous frame; small hands and Well-shaped arms. His complexton is healthy, although the color showed confinement; skin soft and perspira- bie; temperature natural; muscles soft from disuse, bus full; tongue . clean; —_ pulse, taken under sphymograph, ninety per minute, , the sphymographic trace showing an entirely sound condition of the heart—the ex. annaation py the opthaimiseope, He avrote and read, however, without spectacies, and only having @ single iamp in his cell, As there Was no disease, the dimness of vision probably came trom age. When the pupil was tested by a light applied directly to the eye the dilation and contraction were rapid, and demonstrated that the largeness of the pupll was natural aod not due simply to confinement ina dark room. Appetite good; craved mo particular food; could eat anything; digestion periect; slept Well, and the body was Well nourished, He com- plained that for many years he bad a lack of uncta- osity of skin, and eat largely of fats, and that he found he could not cloy bis system by’ an excess. of fats. This had existed since 1850," in answer to questions, he states that he would prefer not to be asked Where he was bora, but would say ttat 1t was jo the'North.

He then entere: re as olerk, where he coutinued the same stndy, keep- ing his books open on the desk and (aking every leisure moment for study. Afterwards he comi- menced the study of medicine, with the iIntentior of becoming a physician, but alse continued thi study of languages. At aoout this time he married, and at twenty-flve years of age his career was interieread with by what he denominated a DIFFICULTY THAT SENT HIM TO AUBURN PRISON. He spoke of having been broken down in health Nadie there, from which condition he had never ratlied. QURSTION. How long since your constirution was thus broken down? ANSWER.
