THE REMAINS OF COT WATsoN.---A meeting of
the delegates from the various military companies
and other associations, OF which the late Col. VIM.
I'll. Watson was member, took place on Monday
evening at the City Hall. The meeting was called
to order by the selection Of Col ~ Hickman, ofthe
5th rcgiment as president; Richard Marley, esq, of
the |. D. o. r., as vice president and Henry w. 8.
Evans, esq, as secretary. After the organization of
the meeting, Lieut. Luehess, Of the Independent
Blues arose, and in few pertinent remarks stnied
the object Of the convention. He said that although
the primary steps for calling this convention had
been taken by the company who had the honor to
be commanded by the Iamented deceased. Ii was
not their intention to aek for any special honors as
regards the disposition Of his remains. The remains
OF the gallant Watson were the property Of his fcl-
low soldiers and citizens and the independent Blues
would take any position in the funeral procession
that would be given them by the convention. The
remarks of the lieutenant were received by the meet
ing with great satisfaction After he had concluded,
on motion OF Col. Jacob q. Davies a committee of
one from each association represented in the cod
vention was appointed 10 make all the necessary
engagements, and report TO an adjourned meeting

AmALGAmATIoN IN New YoRR TINS BARGAIN
CONFLICTS l--WHe AND NATIVE ALLIANCE wv are
informed by gentleman of New York that the
wings and natives have united to defeat the democ.
have the county clerk and city assembly ticket
while the wings are to have the congressman and
other officers, State and county, with further prom
ice on the part of the wings that if the natives will
support the antrent and wing candidate for govern.
or, and lieutenant governor, the wings will next
spring give the natives the aldermen and assist
ants. ..s
We yet hope that Silas Wright will defeat this
unholy alliance, but reverse will only serve TO
show the characters Of the foes against whom de-
mocracy has to contend. Local divisions will lose
several members Of Congress in the State. Tres-

tics may occasion us heavy losses in the river coun-
ties.-Phtad. keystone.

Extract Of a letter dated

.. New YoRK, Nov 4, 1886.
II was with difficulty left a sick room

apees, we have lost governor and ma ority OF
Congressman. That hydra-headed Monster anti
rentsni, having formed a complete union with the
wings, we have been overcome in all directions,
cept this city, where have elected everything
save one member OF Congress--haviDg gained two.

faction-the murderers Of sheriff Steele and others

were peaceably engaged in the collection of rents

their candidate for governor the wings seized upon
worked for them, electoneered for them, voted for
them, and have elected them--governor, senator's,
members of Congress-, county clerks, sheriff, &c,
&c. Well, we are at the mercy of anti-rentism for
a year at least, and all landlords under this new
WING reign of terror may throw up their rentals for

Truly, who would not be wing, and who would

Many Of the best informed speak confidently of
large importations Of specie from abroad during the
coming year The balance Of trade is evidently
largely in our favor, and an influx Of the precious
metals must naturally result therefrom. The Jour
NIL Of Commerce says: "Some orders have already
been given, as we know, for remittances to be made
in gold from England; and the very low rate of ex-
change, while very little of this years crop has gone
forward, except Of -four and wheat, indicates that
large sums must be imported during the winter and
spring. An importation of six millions Of gold
would be a very poor beginning Of the universal
work of ruin under the new tariff, which in eighteen
months was send all the coin out Of the country
and break the banks from Dan to Beersheba."

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN LowNDEs.-on the 2ls

ing in the courthouse at Haynesylle, and adopted
a series Of resolutions commendatory of the action
Of the administration, in recommending, and Com

The resolutions pay handsome and well-meritec
compliment to Hon Dixon II. Lewis. To the Gun
Ainching frmness and integrity" Of Hon. @. M
Dallas and "to the industry and perseverance o
Hon. Dixon III Lewis, y is ascribed the passage o.
the tariff act Of 1876. The resolutions say Of Mr.
Lewis, "The people will never forget him, nor omi

We perceive, in a late number of the Saturday
Evening News, weekly paper published in this
city at one dollar per annum, by VIM Thompson,
esq, that the editor and publisher has announced
his intention next week to enlarge his paper and
publish in its columns, during the session Of Con.
gress, list containing the Names post Offices, and
places Of residence in this city of each member of
Congress. Ithas been heretofore customary to pub
lish Congressional Directory in pamphlet form;
which cannot always give the members lodg
ings, ms they frequently change their hoard
lighthouses and places Of abode in the course
Of the session. Now, as the publisher OF the
"News" announces his intention of noting the
changes of residence as they take place. and pledges
himself to furnish correct statement of the mem
bers' residence, we think his paper and enterprise
will be found deserving Of liberal patronage, es.
peciay by hotel keepers and others who may de-
sire to refer to the Congressional Directory for susa
useful information il contains. We therefore
recommend the Saturday Evening News to the pub
lc'ss cheap and useful publication.

To the Editor ofihe Union: .g''"
The annexed article, taken from the Louisville

been rerused with real pleasure II is well known
that Mr. Prentss is one among the most dis.In-

in the western country-being the bosom friend and

that ofceran other papers and their despcable cor

would attempt, for political purposes, to sully SOL

From the Louisville Journal
"GEs. BurLER.--In our paper of yesterday we
said that, the statement OF the leer-writer to the
Baltimore Sun in regard to the unauthorized charge
Of Gen. Butler upon the Mexcans, was true, he was
censurable for not combining more judgment and
discretion with his undoubted personal courage II
is evident, however, from various considerations,
and especially from Gen. Taylor's Official report,
that the statement il NOT true-that there is not
word Of truth in ithat it was written for other
purpose than to make up an exciting letter Gen.
Butler had express orders to make the charge which
he did make, and he performed the hazardous duty
with his characteristic chvalry.
"Unquestionably Gen Butler is somewhat reck-
less where only his own personal safety is concern

regardful Of the lives OF the men intrusted to his
