BOSTON, June 10.-The State Temperance
Committee, appointed at the recent Conven-

OF temperance to commence preparations for
the contest without delay by forming prohibi-
tory clubs all over the State. 1t is also urged
as preliminary work that meeting be held
IN every city and town to vote on the question
OF licensing the sale of liquor to be drunk on
the premises. The committee say they do not
ask the friends of prohibition to form new

TRIAL OF sILAs AND CHARLES t. JAMES,
WORCESTER, June 1O.-The trial of SiIas
and Charles L. James for the murder of Jo-
seph G. Clark of this city, last February. com
menced to-day. The evidence thus far is di-
rect and conclusive as to the guilt of both
prisoners. They We're seen to leave Clarke's
room only moment before his dead body was
found, and had been in there more than two
hours previous. They are completely identi-
NED by Clarke's mistress, who knew them and
was watching at the door all the while thew
were in the room. The evidence introduced
goes also to prove, that for three days previous
the prisoners had made repeated inquiries in
regard to Clarkes habits, sc. The trial will
occupy two days longer. The prisoners are
de1ended by able counsel, but the case seems
100 TOO clear to allow the hope of anything less
against both prisoners.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

-. NASHVILLE, June 9.-The Democratic State
convention is largely attended, with entire &C.
cord in all matters of principle. A platform
adopted formally allyng the conservatives of
tennessee With the National Democratic party !;
declaring the doctrine of secession finally de-
cided by the war, but asserting the just rights
OF the States. Strong ground was declared
against the reconstruction policy of Congress
and in favor of the rightful supremacy Of the
white man in the control of the government.
A greenback policy was unanimously and en-
Enthusiastically adopted; also resolution was
adopted laudatory of President johnson for
his administrative policy, and congratulating
nun and the country on the defeat of lmpeach-
ment; and without nominating him fer the
Presidency at New York, it declared it was due
that the delegation should cast it's vote for him
The delegation is composed of men of all shades
OF former politics. The majority considered
Pendleton the man. The general impression
prevailed that Pendleton would be the candi-
date, as he is the representative of financial
policy which has proved itself very strong. A
committee was also appointed to prepare an
address to the New York Convention.
