The Hon. A. O. P. Nicholson. in aletter recent
tons of the Nashville Address, and maintains that
the Convention did not mean, in its resolutions, to
propose the Missouri Compromise as an ultima
tunl. He says:
cit will be observed that the address was so amended
in convention as to show that the plan of the committee
of thirteen would be accepted if amended as to Sc
cure substantially TO the South the rights asserted in the
resolutions. | have given comparative view OF the
two plans proposed, and as consider the plan OF the
committee OF thirteen, with the notifications suggest
ed as securing the rights of the South, asserted in the
resolutions eectuaIly as the Missouri compromise
see no why those who are ready to acqesce IN
this latter NAV not acquesce in the former.
at is mistake to construe the resolutions as propos-
ing the Missouri line as an ultimatum. The committee
expressly declined to propose the line OF 50 80 as an
sert the doctrine of congressional nonnervention on
which doctrine the compromise reported by the COM
mjttee of thirteen was founded"

DIED,

AT his residence, on Church Hill, on Sunday after

In Lexington, Virginia, on the 10Th of June, 1885, in

IMPORTANT FROM PORTUGAL.

THE AMERICAN cLA1Ms-ARRIvAL OF THE UNITED STATES
sQUADRoN-THE DEMAND ON THE GOVERNMENT.
The American squadron have visited Lisbon for the
pupose OF demanding from the Portuguese government
the sum of f70 900 said to be due to them; their de-
mand is in some points reasonable and just but in 9TH
ers the British government is implicated, and some of
their complaints OF very long standing. The Amer
lean Commodore has given the Portuguese 81 days to
comply with his demands, and al the expiration of that
period has avowed his intention OF making reprlsas,
OBTAINING sufficient merchant ships to satisfy the claim.
1.-TWO American ships of war, the independence, Sc
gun frigae, and the Mississippi first class steamer had
arrived in the Tagus, charged to demand, and if ne
cessary, to enforce payment OF certain claims made by
the United States government upon that OF Portugal.
These claims are numerous and varied in character
and some of long standing. The principal is claim
for the destruction OF an American privateer, called
the General Armstrong, which was pursued into fayal
IIarbor in the Azores, by two British vessels OF war,
at time when at war with the United States,
and, being attacked by them, the Americans were
compelled to set fire to their vessel and escape to the
shore. 1t appears that, although the Potugues gov
eminent responsible, according to the law Of nations,
for the damage done to vessel of a friendly power
while in their waters, Great Britain is really, by the
rules OF equity. the party who should be responsible;
but this idea repudated by the English government,
who have left that of Portugal to get out OF the scrape
they best can. The sum demanded on this claim, is
$50 900 dollars
IoLg hfstefs IN hopes that something IN tie way
arbitration might be effected; but the American minis
payment OF the claims within twenty days. and il pay
ment not made by that time he said that he must
demand his passports and the squadron would proceed
to ma Ike reprisas 1t is supposed that the affair will be
settled by offer of payment by nstaments which the
Americans can scarcely refuse to so needy debtor
This matter formed subject of discussion in the Cham
Der Of Deputies on the 22d of June, when the Presiden
of the Council, in the absence of the Minister Foreign
Affairs, made long statement of the affair, in which
he denounced the claims OF the Americans unjast
excessive and concluded by saying that the Portuguese
government would give, as required, an answer in tn
time specied but the house might depend upon it tina
the answer would be such would be conformable t.
the honor and dignity of the nation 1t is thought that
however just these demands may be, the ref,sa tn
part Of the Americans to submit to arbitration will en-
title the Portuguese to consider this casus f@deris
and TO call on Great Britain, under all treaties, to ali
them in their extremity Thus the affair rests at pre-
| sent"

The Culpeper Affair.

The Warrenton (Fauquier) Flag, of Saturday,
gives the following account of this dreadful and
disgraceful outrage
GRAYsoN Hume BY A MOB AT CULPEPER Court
HOUSE We learn that the negro who murdered Mil
Ter was hung on Wednesday, at o'clock P NJ, by
mob OF about 200 other reports say 7OO Grayson had
been twice granted trial by the Court OF Appeals,
General Court and the had been ordered to the
Circuit Court OF this county But laWless MOB nave
taken it upon themselves to do this awful thing we
learn that the magistrates offered but feeble resistance;
and the Jail broken open the refusal OF the Jaor
TO Weld the keys They bore the negro protestlng M
nocenee to the asU grove near by ard fixed rail
across from to another they placed HIM on
horse adjusted the rope and drove the horse from under
him. His feet still touching the ground, one OF the mob
got up the tree and lifted the rail TO higher limb on
his shoulder He was cut down. and remained lying
on the spot until 10 o'clock yesterday This whole at
fair would read better among the Records OF the Span
sh Inquisition or of the Feuda age OF Britain, than by
the light of the full noon OF the 18th century.
prvvovtirrrss, t''
thev are reliable We hear that Mr.. VIM. Green,
one of the most prominent citizens OF Culpeper,
appeared before the mob, and used every effort OF
eloouence and persuasion to induce them TO deslst
from their illegal purpose. They thanked HIM Tor
his advice. but declared that they would have the
life of the negro. Another gentleman Is said
to have displayed the most remarkable bra
very, in endeavouring to save the negro at
the JAIL Taking his position at the door, he Is
represented to have invited any nine men IN
the crowd to come forward and make with HIM
band of ten to resist with their lives the assault
upon the JAIL The proposition not being res
bonded to, he deliberately took paper, and, before
the faces of the mob, wrote down the names of all
the persons he recognised, avowing his purpose to
report them to the legal authorities. Such con-
duct deserves the unmeasured applause and sup
port of the community.
This occurrence in Culpeper has excited II
Richmond. and must excite throughout our law
abiding State, deep feeling of modification NC
parallel to it has ever before, within our memory
taken place in Virginia Unjust be regarded as one
of those ebullitons of popular excitement, wholly
uniusti6able in themselves but incident, in some
decree, to all communities Many instances in
history prove that men, living in civilized and or
DERBY societies, may lose all the restraints OF rea'
son and law on occasions of violent excitement
The people of Virginia are so entirely unused to
such disorders, that the enormity of the present
one fills every mans mind with horror.

kins and A. Powell three half grown white lads, were
yesterday brought up from the cage, where they had
been lodged the previous night, for rioous and dsor-
derby conduct on Main street From the testimony OF the
wachnen who arrested them appears that one OF the
party was drunk and all took into their heads to amuse
themselves by turning boxes striking at the signs
over the doors, and making fuss generally One o.
the lads went to iahe other two gave security to be
of good behaviour.
