The Commercial Convention assembled at nine
O'Clock this mornug and during the session the pro.
ceedings were Of unusual interest 900 vas sub
scribed last evening" and to-day ZOO more was
added to this amount making In all $l23 600 towards
establishing direct trade with Europe by ocean
steamers. The amount required by the chartar as
capital Is 81 900 000;r but it provides that as
soon as $4,000 are subscribed the company
can commence operations. So 1t ID now
fact that the International Commercial
Company Of Norfolk city, is In existence, and soon
to begin its career for veal for woe in compet-
tion with the great navigation companies OF New
York, Baltimore and other cities. Considering how
ever, the favorable auspices under which this
company starts there Is every reason suppose it
will be q complete and thorough success. Two
more adroit and able men than General William Ma
hone and Colonel William Lamb In the arts and IN
trigues OF commercial affairs scarcely be found
The former since the close OF the war has become
railroad prince, and has effected the consolidation
OF three roads under his management while tho
other has devoted himself entirely to the naugura
ton OF direct trade by steam with Europe, and N now
about to realize his greatest hopes. There few
cities that can compare with Norfolk as far
mercial advantages are concerned. Its avenues OF
trade unsurpassed In situation climate and tor
the purposes Of navigation. With the finest harbor
on the Continent but an hour sail from the ocean,
and which affords the most ample shelter to vessels
with three rivers emptying themselves into this har
Dor; with the Albemare ana Chesapeake Canal,
which connects Norfolk with the sounds and MYERS
OF North Carolina; with the Dismal Swamp Canal,
which taps the entire fertile region Of Eastern North
Carolina with the great line of railroads now con-
soidated to Tennessee and proposed to be extended
TO Kentucky and Ohio, and with line (the Seab0ard
and Roanoke RailrOad) reaching the central portion
OF North Carolina by way OF Weldon Norfolk IL lite
rally natural commercial sea port. Beyond an
doubt the determined effort now being made will be
attended with success, and soon city the rival OF
Baltimore and New York Will loom into the CONNER
cial horizon. From the annual report Of the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Exchange Of this city inr
1t stated harb0r Is capaciOuD enough to al
init the entire commercial marine OF the country,
and it is accessible at all seasons. 1t is
also capable Of enormous expansion. and moderate
estimate gives available water front for wharfage
not less than thirty miles In extent, reckoning re

The legal opinion of Judge Yerger and
others in Mississippi has doubtless had
no little effect in dsmpening the ardor
and weakening the influence of the Loyal
Leagues. The whole State has been
alive since the election began, every
man determined to put down and pre-
vent illegal interference by sworn con-
spirators. The whole white people of
the State went TO work, and made
business of it, and hence the
result. That shows what can be
done by one purpose, union and energy.
1t is the grandest display Of this pharac-
ter ever made in an election in the South.
All honor to Mississippi as the pioneer
and banner State against despoiism and
scallawagism. Well done, good and
faithful servants. In Tennessee we must
20 and do likewise" In Alabama such
is the avowed intention for the Presi-
Dental race. We can thus sweep the
whole South, and we will do it. We want
nothing but the exertion of our utmost
influence and energies by every man, and
to see, require and enforce Obedience to
the laws, aud the work will be done. and
well done. The reason why the Bulletin
here and kindred journals cry out SO
loudly about force, violence, ETC., being
used in Mississippi is that their illegal
and reasonable Loyal Leagues have
been met aud overihrown-rou,ed horse,
foot and dragon, BY enforcing the laws,
and preventing violence, double voting
aud fraudsL OF course, the Bulletin
will howl at. the prevention BY fair
and proper means Of the illegal and
criminal purposes Ofits party Of leaguers.
And with what reasonable excuse may
be seen in its yesterdays issue. Ben.
MeKie, a freedman, prescribed every
conservative Of his race who would dare
10 vote the Democratic ticket. He wac
doubtless backed BY many other despe-
rAdoes, aud the conservative freedmen
we're iutimidated at Water Valley. In

SAN Francisco. July a. Mazallan
advices, June %, state that serious
difficulty is rcported between the COM
mander of the British war steamer Chan
ticleer and the Mexican authorities. The
Chandelier was off Alta, got into dam
gerous position, aud fred signal guns for
assistance. A pilot went out and re-
leased the ship from danger, but the Cap
tain refused to to pay for the services
rendered, and went to Mazatlap. The
Collector of the port of Mazatlan noticed
one of the officers Of the Chanticleer con-
veying specie aboard to avoid export
duty, and had him arrested. On search
ing him, gold was found on his
person. The captain of the Chandelier
came ashore in great excitement and de-
clared that his vessel and himself were
insulted by the search of his subordinstes.
Some words followed which ended by the
Collector ordering the Captain to be
searched under the impression that he,
also, was implicated in smuggling.
The captain then went aboard the
Chandelier, and notified the inhabitants,
by proclamation, that he was about to
lombard Mazatlan for the insult offered
to the English. Numerous notes passed
between Commander Bridge, General
Corona and the civil authorities.
The American Consul, acting as medi-
ator, ultimately prevailed on Bridge to
modify his proclamation SO as to place
the port of Mazatlan under blockade, so
far as Mexican vessels are concerned;
not interfering with American or other
foreign vessels until he can receive
orders from the Admiral commanding
his station.
The action of Gen. Corona and the
American authorities is generally ap-
proved by the foreign residents.
The United States war steamer Su-
awanee left Acapulco for Mazatlan to
protect American interests. f
The United States steamer Resacca
was at Port Lopez, June FL.
Later advices say Commander Bridge
demanded the officer who searched his
subordinate and seized the money should
be sent aboard the Chauticleer, to be
dealt with as he saw fit.
Carona replied that sooner than sub
nit to such an outrage he would allow
the city to be bombarded, telling him in
dignifed language that If he had recla-
nation to make, be would make 1t in the
manner customary with civilized nations,
and through the proper channel.

The Jackson Clarion gives us the cor
rected returns from forty-seven of the
sixty-two counties of the State, which
give 27,472 Democratic and 1906
Radical majorities, making an excess for
the Democrats of IA, $780,. The counties
yet to come in will not rsduce this
majority. In answer to a telegram
which states that the reports that Mis-
sissippi has gone Democratic are not
credited at Washington at the War Office,
and which expresses the opinion, and is
confident" that the Constitution will
be adopted, the Clarion says: Our
Commanding General is doubtless by
this time confident that the new Con-
stitution piH be rejected" The victory
is great and glorious one, beyond
question. And as it should be, gratitude
and good will is universally expressed
toward the freedmen, without whose votes
il could not have been won. Their names
will be gathered and published, and they
will be splendidly rewarded. They will
find out now who are their friends, and
whether they keep their promises as we'll
as the carpet-baggers or not Without
they make friends Of the whites Of the
South. they will find they have no friends
among white people who viii ever do
them any good. The Columbus Index
also says:
From the returns which are poufing in
from all sections, there is no doubt that
we have carried the State by q glorious
majority. Ia the heavy negro counties

The Columbus Indies says; The
dry weather which for the last month has
been so favorable to the farmer, begins
to assume the threatening form Of a
drouth, and the parched earth begins to
assume the verdure which it nurtured
upon its bosom. All food crops east of
the Bigbee, in this section, are more or
less injured, and if the clouds withhold
their rain for few more days, will be
nearly ruined"
We have similar reports from other
quarters of the State. But there is one
good thing in it, that the crops require
less labor, at time when the sovereigns
are SO busy attending barbecues and
voting that they cannot attend to the
labors of the farm.
