with a small rope and a buggy whip by her side,
and before he had time to reflect, she had partially
eneceeded in throwing tho lasso over his head and
commenced vigorous application of the whip over
MS mead and shoulders, charging him, at the same
time with having grossly slandered her and as she
hsd no one else to do so she would inict the proper
punlshment herself Her anger was intense, and
her language and expletives more forcibe than po-
lite, IN which she bore heavily on the "Copperheads
oi the North, as she styled them. In the struggle

recovered and renewed the attack with increased
violence At this stage ohicer nterfered, when

Tho Democratic State Convention at A
u NV bany Yestoreay. ~


Amid the flashes Of cannon fred by ex-
ultant Radicals in homer Of their recent
escape from destruction in New Hamp-
shire, the Democratic State Convention
of New York commenced its sittings in
Albany yesterday. Undisturbed by these
explosions Of Radical joy, the represen-
tatives Of the democracy Of the Empire
State went on with their proceedings as
calmly and placidly as II they were taking
an airing in the Park on some beautiful
and balmy morning in July. Prone as
such conventions have been to dissen.
sions, violence, and even general smash
ups, the assemblage yesterday was q mar
vel Of harmony and Cancellation. Even
Kings county, turbulent as IT frequently
is, declined to throw in brand OF dis
quiet; and although the fire was ready,
il was promptly extinguished under the
soothing influences Of the dove like spirit
of tranquility that prevailed. Governor
Seymour was the chief star in these plea
SAINT interludes to the new play Of the
Democratic Happy Family" He de.
livered speech pregnant with financial
ideas, not altogether new, but important
and portentous, coming from leader OF
the Democracy who has " thrice refused
the crown" OF Democratic Presidential
nomination. He also rather startled the
dry bones of Thad. Stevens radicalism
by his caustic review of the soldiers who
fought and conquered in the war for the
Union. he also touched upon other top
les of pervading interest Among the list
of delegates selected to attend the Ma
tional Democratic Convention to be held
in this city on Independence Day will be
found names for long time familiar to
our readers. The platform or declara-
ton of principles is rather an attack
upon the measures and policy of the
Radicals than the enunciation of any new
ideas. 1t is like the advance of an at
lacking force upon the strong as well as
the weak points of an enemy, with no
such word as retreat inscribed upon
its banners II is non.committal upon
the bond-holder question. Here its
trainers may be wise, for this question is
like two-edged sword, which may cut
both ways in any party, and in none,
perhaps, with more sharpness than in the
Democratic party. The financial ques-
tlUu HOnCNtiy OhO WhiCu pattico
prepare themselves to confront squarely
when the struggle comes. Money, taxes,
property, the reunion of all the States,
whether there shall be high rates for the
poor and fat dividends for the rich,
whether there shall be an era of peace,
plenty and prosperity or one of bank
ruptcy, dishonor and disruption, are
among the grave considerations which
both the Democratie-and Radical party
will be brought up to the bull.ripg to re-
spond to when the Presidential candi-
dates are fully in the field and the battle
is fairly commenced.
The delegates to the Convention at
Albany yesterday may congratulate
themselves upon one good omen: They
commenced their proceedings amid the
flashes Of Radical lightning; these may
be followed by blasting bolts. of Demo-
cratic thunder. -New York Herald.
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1868-03-18

The House bill exempting manufac-
lures from taxation is but shrewd dodge
of the Radicals to hoodwink the manu-
facturers and business men of the North,
and is particularly intended to influence
New England elections. The Senate
Finance Committee had it under con-
sideration Wednesday morning, and have
already resolved to restore to the taxable
list q number of articles that were struck
out. 1t will probably not be reported
until after the Connecticut election. So
says letter in the Baltimore Sun.
