The Rhode Island Union Convention, which
nominated Gen. Burnsids lor Governor, put
forward no pluforin,and the Democrats have
decided not to nomiqnte a ticket because of a
split iu tbs Union rauk. The other wing

The friends of Colorado do not despair of
securing the admission of that territory to the
Union, by this Congress, ah effort will be
made to renew the direct attempt. If this
fails, an effort. will be made to admit Colorado

will be ready to come in by that time.
The committee on weights, measures and
coinage, recommend to Congress to authorize
and encourage hy law, the admission and me
of the metrical system of weights and meas
ures, and that with a view to familiarize the
people with the fyttein, that provision be
made by law for the immediate distribution
iu custom houses and States of metrical stan
dard of weights and meaEUres, and also to
Introduce the system into pos'ollices, hy
making a tingle letter weight fifteen grammes,
and to ci use ihn new cent pieces to be so
coined that they shall weigh each ten grammi
and that their diameters shall be made to
bear a determinate and timilar ratio to the
metrical nnit of length.

ing a letter from Messrs. Brewer k Co., re-
lattng to a bill for service in bringing to
Honolulu from the Ascension Islands 08
