SPEECH OF GEN. CARL SCHURZ,
Temporary Chairman OF the IA tional
Union Republlcan Convention.

Gentlemen Of the Convention It is
difficult for me to express how highly
I appreciate the honor you have con-
ferred upon me by this appointments
You will permit me to offer you my
sincerest thanks. This is the fourth
National Convention OF the Republi-
can party. The short career Of that
party has been marked by events to
which coming generations will point
with pride and admiration aud graft
tude. The Republican party was born,
and in its very infancy grappled with
the prejudice Of race which till then
seemed to be omnipotent with the masses
of the American people. Our second
onset broke through that, and carried
Abraham Lincoln into the Executive
chair Of this Republic as the great
champion of the anti-slavery cause -
Then came the Shareholders rebellion,
and the loyal-pcople OF the country dis
pla ed heroism, devotion and pcrsc-
verarce under obstacles and defeat,
which may serve as glorious example
| to all the nations Of the earth. The re-
suit of the struggle corresponded with
the great effort. The life Of the Ma.
ton has been saved; the dark blot Of
slavery has been wiped from cur ma
tiona cscutcheen. -Four millions OF
}'bondmen have been raised from tht
dust and from their ancient deg1cda
ton, and this day these States, the pc
,uliar condition Of which was but re

have been, a great national emblem Q

The case of Lizzie Nichols, young ser
want girl accused Of perjury in swearing
that J. G. Fehr committed rape upon her
person, came up in Justice Brien's court
yesterday, and, as might have been ex-
pected, drew a large crowd and created a
tremendous sensation on Deaderick street
and its environs John D. Brien sas the
attorney for the prosecution, and Wm.
q. Brien, brother Of John d. Brien,
appeared for the accused. Though
the day was excessively warm, the
little court room was denseIy packed.
and the utmost interest was manifested as
the trial progressed.
During the speech Of VIM. G. Brien.
Fehr, the prosecutor, interrupted him with
some remark, which the confusion at the
time somewhat drowned. Some of the
crowd understood him TO call Briea a liar.
but II seems the attorney did not distin-
guish the words, and replied that he had
nothing against Mr.. Fehr, and would not
do injustice. To this Fehr holly answered
You have you have % and appeared dis
posed to resent it rather emphatieally,
when Brien hastily drew a revolver.
and cried 10 Fehr that if the remark
should be repeated he would get hole put
through him.
No sooner did the ugly muzzle of the
wicked little weapon appear, than the
crowd bolted for the street, and terrible
rush and scrambling ensued that made the
glass in the doors jingle again. In an in
slant the room was vacated by all but the
court, the lawyers, and one or two idlers
who did not know whether 10 run or stand.
Some finally ventured to peep in at the
the door, and finding the courtroom clear,
the crowd returned and the trial went on.
While the attorneys were speaking, it
was quite evident that public sympa-
thy was strongly with the girl, as when
ever a point was made in her favor, loud
applause invariably followed. AT last,
when the trial was concluded, and Justice
Brien dismissed the case at the cost of
Fehr, the applause was tumultuous, the
Germans being especially boisterous.
After the decision, the Briens repaired
to their Office on Cherry street, and John
ID. Brien attempted TO effect reconcilia-
ton between his brother and Fehr. but
when the two met, Fehr could not restrain
his rage, and at once challenged his OPP
ponent TO a duel. Brien picked up the
glove, and offered to retire with Fehr to the
back Of the building, but the latter, having
no pistol, declined, saying he would settle
the matter by law. The whole matter
then "blew over" so far as the shooting
went, and Brien was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by Fehr. The case will come
up before the Commissioner this morning.
In Justice Wilkinson's court, Fehr
again appeared as a prosecutor, swearing
out peace warrant against E. Miller, who,
upon trial, gave bonds to keep the peace
one year against Fehr aud 'the rest of
mankind

for seed supplied at 81 10.
HAY-No arrivals of Eastern or North

at rates now current here. Some demand
at 81 go from store for Eastern, and 81 As

held, which may be met by better demand

DIGeING FOR STOLEN TREAsURE.-Two
of the eonvicts recently pardoned from the
Penitentiary, were busy on Sunday in the
back yard of Deputy Marshal A. A. Car
ter, on Line street, digging and tearing
away the earth, as if in search Of some
thing buried there. Yesterday morning
they resumed operations, and upon being
questioned, stated that just before their ar
rest they had deposited in the vicinity FIVE
hundred dollars in gold and the same
amount in greenbacks, stolen from an
establishment on College street, and which
they had inclosed in tin box and buried.
As they had served out all the time they
were permitted TO, they considered the
property rightfully theirs They were
peremptoriy ordered to leave the premises,
which they found ii convenient to do.
