There now reoiaia two Congressional districts to be nominated for: The Sixth, a district, made out of largely Democratic parishes, and the Fifth District, represented in the last Congress by Hon. Frank Morey, who is now running against Dnbuekless, the present ineambent, for State Treasurer, as Morey will be supported by the Kellogg and Packard wing. He will doubt- lesa receive the nomination. It is believed the State Convention will finish its labors to-morrow, having only to nominate a candidate for Stato Treasurer and adopt a platform. MEMPHIS, August Conservatives carry tho city nnd county by three thousand majority.

The returns from the State show heavy Democratic gains. MEMPHIS, Angust Conservative victory yesterday is much larger than was supposed by most sanguine sup porters, the Conservatives having: carried every warG in the city except the fifth, which only gave a majority of twenty- nine for tlie Republicans. The Conservative majority in tbo citv is 3593, and the total vote is over 10,000, or about 2000 moia than the ordinary vote. This is accounted for on the ground of hostility to the Civil Rights bill and mixed schools, and business lyiing almost entirely suspended, all went to the polls. The Conservative majority in tho county will be over 1000.

EALEIOJI, N. Aug. Democratic gains from every section. Wake county has gone Democratic by a gain of some sis hundred. The State has gone'largely Democratic, with almost a certainty of eight Congressmen.

Seven Democratic Congressmen, out of eight have been elected, and a gain.of some twenty in tbe Legislature. There is great rejoicing in the city. There has been speaking in the streets all day, amid the booming of cannon. The Democracy are i--first time in fourteen years. RICHMOND, August Conservatives of the First District nominated Beverly R.

THE San Francisco Ecenlny Bullclit says that investigations are now being in that city, on the part o. the crman bondholders, into th finan cial condition of what is known as the Vallejo system of railroads. The question which is now being agitatec is as to what became of the bonui issued for the purchase and extension, known generally as the. income and extension bonds. Upon this poin nothing seems as yet to have been learned.

Microscopic of Air. Cunningham, of Calcutta, has published a work of great importance, detailinp; the results of laborious experiments made by himself regarding tbe dust contained in the atmosphere in the vicinity of city. Among other things he states that diitiECt in- fusorial animalcules, their germs or ova," are almost entirely absent from atmospheric dust. Distinct bacteria can hardly ever be detected, bnt fine molecules of uncertain nature are almost always prewmt. Bacteria are frequently to be found In the air derived from sewers.

Spores and other vegetable cells are constantly present in atmospheric dust. The nurjoritj of "So conneotioa can be traced between. toe numbers of bacteria, and the occurrence of diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, ague, or dengue. The and amorphous amount of particles and other eSebris directly, depend upon moiatuie and Triad Teiixaty. The amount of and vegetable ceils appears to be independent of and doit exam- amined by Jfr.

There are no stocks of goods this side of New York, and very few tbeio, equal in variety, extent ffnd value to those of tiie Blums and the Wil- lises, and for this we will give the reason and proof.

They must send to the mil! in Massachu- neUs or Connecticut, or wherever it mav be located. They do not purchase prints, stripes, domestics, from the New York jobber. Thc-y do not pty hi3 percentage and his freight bills. They buy directly from the manufacturer, and their cases and bales are shipped the mill direct to the Strand, -'jalvcawn. There is no extra handling, no extra ei- pense.

'And so it happens that they can ship goods here at less freight than ihe inte- ricr merchant can, Tbey are large shippers. steamer has bills to the amount of thousands of dol- iars, and it is natural to eipect that they will have advantages esteaced 10 them, and favors shown tLetn tliat small and rregular shippers can not secure. Tlie result of all this is that cither tbe Blums or the Willises can sell a case of nay particular goods for less than a from the interior can buy it for ic New York and land it at the Tbat which is true of one description of merchandise is true of aii.
