New York State Item*. 
The State Convention to select delegates to the 
National Democratic Convention to he held in N. Y, 
city, July 4th, met at Tweddle Hall, Albany, on the 
11th inst. HOn. Marshall B. Champlain was elected 
President, and made a speech on taking the chair. 
Tbe usual number of District delegates were elected, 
and the following delegates at largeHoratio Sey¬ 
mour, alternate Augustus C. Hand; Samuel Tilden, 
alternate George W. McLean; Sanford E. Church, 
alternate A. P. Lanning; 11. C. Murphy, alternate 
George Law. Ex-Gov. 8oymour addressed the Con¬ 
vention at length, upon the national issues. 
A Herkimer, Mohawk and Ilion 1 tail road is pro¬ 
posed to be built during the coming season. The 
books are opened, and If the stock is promptly taken 
it is thought the road will be completed by the 
first of September. 
The thaw is progressing auspiciously in all parts 
of the State and further damage is not seriously ap¬ 
prehended. That which has been done is not con¬ 
siderable. The water in the Genesee river is falling, 
and the alarm at Rochester has subsided. 
The affairs of the Erie Railroad arc iu a strange 
muddle. A warrant for the arrest of the Directors 
was in the hands of an officer in New York city, one 
day lust week, and two of them made an exciting 
trip across the bay to New Jersey, in a row boat, to 
effect, their escape. The Senate Committee appoint¬ 
ed to investigate the affairs of the Road, have not 
yet accomplished anything. 
The trial of Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., has 
brought about its final result. Mr. Tyng was pub¬ 
licly reprimanded on the morning of the 14th inst., 
in the Church of the Transfiguration, New York 
City, for violation of a canon of the church, in offi¬ 
ciating in the parish of another minister, without 
his consent. An immense concourse of spectators 
filled the church. Bishop Potter administered the 
reprimand, explaining the nature of the offence, and 
cautioning Rev. Mr. Tyng against, repetition of it. 
Rev. Mr. Tyng sat iu the aisle of the church in plain 
costume, and manifested uo emotion and made no 
remark whatever. Rev. Dr. Tyng, father of the 
reprimanded clergyman, put in a protest, and made 
formal appeal from the decision of the Court, to the 
General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal 
Church in the United States. 
The village of Lyons is much excited over the 
closing of the Westfall Bank. It was run and owned 
by E. Van Alst.yne, and had deposits amounting to 
$150,000, with special deposits amounting to from 
$50,000 to $100,000. Van Alstyue went away a few 
daj’s since, nominally to visit some relatives in the 
eastern part of the State, but the impression pre¬ 
vails that he has left the country. The Teller kept 
on receiving and paying until the cash balance 
amounted to only forty-three cents, when the Sheriff' 
took possession. The special deposits have al6o all 
vanished, and the loss falls heavily on the people of 
Lyons. 
Goy. Fenton has appointed Hon. Charles C. 
Dwight Judge of the Supreme Court for the Sev¬ 
enth Judicial district, in place of Judge Welles, 
deceased. 
The workmen of the Central Railroad workshops 
at West Albany have struck for increased w ages. An 
order was issued 6ome weeks 6ince by the Vice 
From Washington. 
The Impeachment Trial does not progress very 
rapidly. On the 13th inst., the day on which the 
President was to answer to the summons served 
upon him by the Senate, the Court re-assembled, 
the Sergeant-at-Arms making tbe U6nal proclama¬ 
tion. The galleries of the Senate Chute ber were 
7 densely crowded by a brilliant assemblage of ladies 
and gentlemen, ndmitted by tickets given ont by the 
’ Senators and Representatives. Hundreds of stran- 
’ gers, ignorant of the necessity of obtaining tickets, 
. and many others unable to obtain then), were turned 
' away by the guards. 
After the taking of the required oath by those 
. Senators who had not previously done so, the return 
i of the Sergeant-at-Arms of his service of summons 
on the President was read, when the counsel of the 
» President was notified of the commencement of the 
’ proceedings, and Messrs. Stanbery, Curtis and Nel 
[ son took their seats at the table on the right of the 
Chief Justice, and opposite to the Managers, who 
; were seated on the left. 
Mr. Stanbery read the answer of the President en¬ 
tering into his appearance, and naming as his coun- 
• sel Messrs. Stanbery, Curtis, Nelson, Black and 
1 Evarts, and asking as a reasonable time for the prep¬ 
aration of his defense the period of forty days, citing 
i various cases in which periods as long in proportion 
to tbe magnitude of the case had been granted. 
Mr. Bingham, on behalf of the Managers, con¬ 
tended that the eighth rule provided that on the 
appearance of the President he was required to file 
his answer, and in case his answer was not filed, that 
the trial should proceed as on a plea of not guilty. 
He claimed, therefore, that, the triat should proceed 
forthwith. 
Considerable debate followed, Mr. Stanbery speak¬ 
ing very warmly, and implying a design on the part 
of the Court to hurry through the Trial. Mr. Ed¬ 
munds of Vermont, offered an order that April first 
be the day appointed for the filing of the President’s 
answer; that within three days threafter, the Mana¬ 
gers file their replication, and that on the 6th of 
April the trial proceed. The Senate retired for con¬ 
sultation. Upon the return of the Senate, at four 
o’clock, the Court re assembled, and the Chief Jus¬ 
tice announced that the motion under consideration 
had been overruled and an order entered that the 
President be required to file his answer on Mon¬ 
day, the 33d of March. 
An order by Mr, Bingham, that on filing the repli¬ 
cation by the Managers the trial proceed forthwith, 
was lost by a vote of 25 to 26. Mr. Nelson, one of 
the President’s counsel, thought that liberality 
should be extended by this High Court to an unu¬ 
sual degree, and contended that the application of 
the defendent was one deserving such; spoke of the 
great magnitude of this case, and argued the neces¬ 
sity of continuous deliberation and the impropriety 
of railroad speed. He was replied to at some length 
by Geu. Butler, on behalf of the Managers, who 
claimed that the welfare of the country demanded a 
speedy conclusion of the matter. 
An amendment offered by Mr. Conkling of New 
fork, that unless cause for delay be shown the trial 
shall proceed immediately after the filing of the re¬ 
plication, was assented to by the Managers on the 
part of the House, and was adopted. The order, as 
amended, was then adopted, when the Court ad¬ 
journed until the 23d inst. 
Attorney-General Stanbery tendered his resigna¬ 
tion as Attorney-General, on the 11th inst,., for the 
purpose of engaging as counsel to the President on 
his trial, and the resignation was accepted by him 
with regrets. Secretary Browning acts as Attorney- 
General, and there will probably be no appointment 
for 6ome time. 
At tbe regular meeting of the Cabinet on the 10th 
inst., Gen. Thomas presented himself, and was re 
cognized as Secretary of War ad interim. He an 
swered the demand of the President, made in the 
usual form, regarding the business of the War office, 
and a lengthy discussion ensued on the subject of 
Secretary Stanton's authority to make requisitions 
on the Treasury. The liability of army officers to 
trial by court martial who refuse to recognize Gen¬ 
eral Thomas as the Chief of the War Office, was also 
discussed. Gen. Thomas still attends the Cabinet 
meetings, but Secretary Stanton’s requisitions on 
the Treasury are duly honored by the President. 
A letter from Thaddcus Stevens to Col. Forney is 
published, in which he says he has arrived at the 
conclusion that universal suffrage was one of the 
inalienable rights intended to be embraced in tbe 
Declaration of Independence by our fathers, hut 
that they were, prevented from so doing by slavery 
alone. The Committee of Reconstruction have in¬ 
serted that provision in the bill for the admission of 
Alabama, with great unanimity, and have finally 
resolved that no State shall be admitted except 
under that condition.

about $20,000. The robber made good his escape, 
and has not been captured.

son of the. year, Tlie roads are had in the country, and in 
consequence of the depth o’ the winter's snow it will be 
some days before traveling will be good. But the approach 
of spring gives cneourageni’nt to merchants and business 
men generally, and all are calculating on a somewhat more 
active and healthy trade the present season than they had 
last year. 
In local financial affairs there Is little change to notice. 
The banks arc well supplied with currency, and the inquiry 
for discounts Is not large. Bank paper during the winter 
has been met with great promptness, which speaks well for 
the soundness of the mercantile community. 
In New York last week there was a more active call for

Wool.— The wool market was pot as active last week as 
for t wo or three weeks previous. Prices are not any lower. 
The demand is from nmtml'actn revs—speculators for the pres¬ 
ent seem to be out of tlie market. The Journal of Commerce 
says:-" The market is not very active this week. There is 
some inquiry, but the light offering ami jinn views of hold¬

Wheat,— Very unfavorable reports were published two 
weeks since iu Western papers in regard to the condition 
of the growing wheat. Recent reports are more favorable. 
The Dayton Journal asserts that, the copious and refreshing 
showers of the past few days have driven the frost out of 
the ground arid given the young plants such a start that suc¬

the appearance of the wheat Helds is the subject of general 
congratulation. In West Tennessee wheat sown on cotton 
grounds looks winter killed, b\it that ou new and rough

The local market this week is rather dull. The breaking
