Death of Peter Cadger. Last night, while Peter Cagger and John E. Develln were driving through Central Park, as they were turning a short curve, a wheel gave way, the carriage was capsized, and Cagger and Develin were dragged sever al rods under the wreck. Cagger was in stantly killed. Develln was severely Injured, and It is feared will not recover. They were on their way to attend the reception at the Manhattan Club. Name of Chase to be Presented to the Con vention. The name of Chase was not presented to day, as his friends thought that, having a small vote cast for him, it would lessen his ultimate chances. It will probably be pre. sented to-morrow after three or four ballots are taken. The Southern delegates say they are prepared to cast their ballots for Chase, as Pendleton s vote has apparently no chance of an increase. Personally .they say they would have a pref erence lor Pendleton, but they believe tne election of Chase would enure more to the benefit of the South, as any measure origin ated by him would have a better chance of adoption by the benate. The Chase Committee have been exerting themselves all evening at various places In favor of their candidate, and It is now certain that an influential majority of the New York delegation are In lavor ol the Chief Justice. The report which has been in circulation for the last few days as to the break In the Ohio delegation, seem well founded, and bonsiderable ill feeling seems to exist among the delegation in consequence. It is lurthcr stated that one reason for the non-presenta. tion of Chase's name to-day was that his friends were reluctant to excite the hostility oi the Pendleton men by presenting his claims until they became certain tuat va dleton could not be nominated. There is a feeling to-night that a ticket composed of Chase ana Hancock may possi bly be nominated after a recess to-morrow. The name of General Blair was started to day in advance of his friends by an enthusiastic delegate from Kansas. It was intended to hold it back until to-morrow. The Indiana delegation will almost certainly vote for Hendricks to-morrow. It is presumed the Pennsylvania delegation will to-morrow break from Packer. A rumor has it that the name of the Chief Justice will be sprung prematurely upon the convention to-morrow by some of the extreme Pendleton men with unfriendly intentions. CLEVELAND.

Campbell called for the reading of the platform adopted by the National Convention, but in the meantime wished to retain the floor to be in position to address the Convention after the- reading. The platform as adopted by the National Convention was then read by the Secretary, ana us various provisions applauded by the Convention.

McQuade then addressed the meeting. saying the feeling that the Convention had been governed by the officers of the late army was wrong ana injudicious, and offered a resolution that the secretaries of the Convention be Instructed to abrogate the ranks of the various speakers during the Convention, and announce their names, divested of their rank. 1 his motion was opposed by private J. H. Hlldreth, stating that the officers who were present, and who were among the noblest of the leaders of the Union army, had a right to have their names go before the country as a part of the proceedings.

After appearing before the audience and requesting those who desired to shoot at him to prepare their pistols, he went behind the stage curtain, and has not since been seen. He obtained about two hundred dollars, and left his hall rent and printing bills unpaid. STATU NEWS. A barber in New Lexington charged the County Commissioners $14 for shaving a jail bird. Perhaps it was because the prisoner hal such a long face. David Wheeler, of Noble county, was bitten one day last week by a copperhead snake while working in a meadow. Whisky was freely used as an antidote, and he is get ting along finely. Three more bodies have been taken from the wreck of the Morning Star ; one of them being the Clerk of the boat.

Mike McCoole was before the Cincinnati Police Court yesterday morning on two charges, one assault and battery, and the other carrying concealed weapons. Mr. McCoole, it is said, was quite pugilistic when he found his case was to be continued till today. If some of these ruffians could get a little plain, honest justice, it would perhaps change their notions somewhat. The entry of Mike's case at the Police Court was as follows: "Mike McCoole; age, 35; occupa-i tion, loafer; charges assault and battery and carrying concealed weapons." Jtidgk James Hall, formerly well known as a literary man in the West, died on Sunday near Loveland, in the vicinity of Cincinnati, at the age of nearly 76 years. We copy' the following notice of Judge Hall from the Cincinnati Times: "Mr. Hall was one of the earliest literary pioneers of the West, and forty eight years of his life were devoted to the intellectual culture and business progress of this vast and rapidly growing region. He reached the first place on the Western record of mexlt and renown. Judge Hall was born In Philadelphia Au- ; gust 19th, 1793. He joined the army in i12, and bravely fought at Lundy's Lane. After the war he accompanied Decatur's expedition against the Algerines, and enjoyed a ' cruise through the Mediterranean. He re-' turned In 1815, and studied law it Pittsburg.1 In 1820, at the age of twenty-seven, he moved far west to Shawneetown, Illinois, where he wro.e a series of "Letters from the West" to a Philadelphia journal,' which were collected and republishhd in England without his knowledge. He edited lor a time the Illinois Gazette, and served four years as Circuit Attorney of a district of ten counties, when he was chosen Judge for the circuit. He was subsequently State Treasu-rer for tour years. In the meantime he con-1 tlnued writing letters and poem9, editing the Illinois Intelligencer, and preparing sketches under the signature of "Orlando," for Flint's Western Review, published at Cincinnati. In 1829 Mr. Hall compiled the "Western Souvenir, a Christmas and New Year's Gift," the first work of the kind published in the West. It was made up of original matter, Including poems from twelve authors and hrose articles from seven writers. ' In December, 1830, he started the Illinois Magazine at Vandalla, a monthly of forty-eight pages, which was published two years. Among the writers for it were Rev. James ' H. Perkins and Salmon P. Chase. Removing , thence to Cincinnati, he commenced the Western Monthly, which he conducted till 1837. In 1836 Mr. Hall was elected cashier of the Commercial Bank of Cincinnati. In 1853 he became its President, and held the position until the bank became the Commercial National Bank, In 1805, when he was succeeded by his son-in-law, Mr. Foote. As a banker Mr. Hall was remarkably prudent-and successful. He was opposed, from prudential reasons, to Issuing notes for circulation,' and soon after he got tho control of the Old Commercial, the few notes of the bank were called In. His business discretion secured htm steady and certain profits, aud he has left a considerable estate. A few years since he purchased a farm near Lovqlnnd for a country residence, which he extensively Improved and made very beautiful. Its situation is delightful, and one would think that there need be, In his case, no change of worlds for the sake of Paradise. It is chiefly as a literary man that Judge Hall has deserved of this Western country. His works comprise twelve volumes. 1 i

Jtidgk James Hall, formerly well known as a literary man in the West, died on Sunday near Loveland, in the vicinity of Cincinnati, at the age of nearly 76 years. We copy' the following notice of Judge Hall from the Cincinnati Times: "Mr. Hall was one of the earliest literary pioneers of the West, and forty eight years of his life were devoted to the intellectual culture and business progress of this vast and rapidly growing region. He reached the first place on the Western record of mexlt and renown. Judge Hall was born In Philadelphia Au- ; gust 19th, 1793. He joined the army in i12, and bravely fought at Lundy's Lane. After the war he accompanied Decatur's expedition against the Algerines, and enjoyed a ' cruise through the Mediterranean. He re-' turned In 1815, and studied law it Pittsburg.1 In 1820, at the age of twenty-seven, he moved far west to Shawneetown, Illinois, where he wro.e a series of "Letters from the West" to a Philadelphia journal,' which were collected and republishhd in England without his knowledge. He edited lor a time the Illinois Gazette, and served four years as Circuit Attorney of a district of ten counties, when he was chosen Judge for the circuit. He was subsequently State Treasu-rer for tour years. In the meantime he con-1 tlnued writing letters and poem9, editing the Illinois Intelligencer, and preparing sketches under the signature of "Orlando," for Flint's Western Review, published at Cincinnati. In 1829 Mr. Hall compiled the "Western Souvenir, a Christmas and New Year's Gift," the first work of the kind published in the West. It was made up of original matter, Including poems from twelve authors and hrose articles from seven writers. ' In December, 1830, he started the Illinois Magazine at Vandalla, a monthly of forty-eight pages, which was published two years. Among the writers for it were Rev. James ' H. Perkins and Salmon P. Chase. Removing , thence to Cincinnati, he commenced the Western Monthly, which he conducted till 1837. In 1836 Mr. Hall was elected cashier of the Commercial Bank of Cincinnati. In 1853 he became its President, and held the position until the bank became the Commercial National Bank, In 1805, when he was succeeded by his son-in-law, Mr. Foote. As a banker Mr. Hall was remarkably prudent-and successful. He was opposed, from prudential reasons, to Issuing notes for circulation,' and soon after he got tho control of the Old Commercial, the few notes of the bank were called In. His business discretion secured htm steady and certain profits, aud he has left a considerable estate. A few years since he purchased a farm near Lovqlnnd for a country residence, which he extensively Improved and made very beautiful. Its situation is delightful, and one would think that there need be, In his case, no change of worlds for the sake of Paradise. It is chiefly as a literary man that Judge Hall has deserved of this Western country. His works comprise twelve volumes. 1 i |
