Mr.. Blackman-The resolution was introduced
simply for political effect. and Mr.. Camp DELL had
succeeded in his effort. This method OF appeal
ing to the people might prevail for the time being
but the time would come when it would be una.
valuable. He agreed with Mr.. Campbell. that he
(Canpbell) owed his election to the riot When
peace and liberty would be restored the blame
would be placed where it properly belonged. Mr.
Campbell spoke OF presses being destroyed, but
he could tell OF women being dragged from their
beds TO prison, men robbed aud other grievances
too long TO eDumerste, but did not think this was
the proper time to do so. The destruction OF q
few types in q newspaper Office that had praised
the people for its order, the day before would be
herelded through the North for political purp poses
but the time would come when these political
measures would be of no effect. IL Mr.. Camp
bell thought il would do him any good in the fu-
ture let the resolution pass, but he Mr.. Blackman
would record his vote against 1t.
MIR. Braughn thought that the question had been
sufice entity discussed, and again moved to lay the

ARRIVAL OF UNITED STATES SOLDIERS

GALVESTON, July lion the evening Of the
18Th, riot commenced at Mllican, station on
the Central railroad. A mob OF twenty five me-
groes. led by white school teacher and a me-
gro preacher named Brooks, attempted to hang
8 man named William Holiday. The white citi.
Eens prevented the execution, and, headed by
the sheriff and the sgent Of the freeGmens
bureau attempted to suppress the mob; the al.
tempt resulted in the death Of ten or twelve Of
the negroes.
On the 10th the numbers increased on both sides,
and skirmishing occurred during the day. A small
body of federal troops arrived there late last
evening and killed three Of the negroes and dis
persed the mob who, TO the number of from three
30 FIVE hundred, had intrenched themselves about
three miles from Millicsu, and refused to lay down
their arms.
The rioters have dispersed and gone home, after
losing from fifty 10 sixty Of their number.
= II is now ascertained that the difficulty arose
from the suppOsition that q negro member Of the
loyal league had been hung. bat who has since
been found.

JUNE IN ENGLAND.-The London correspon-
dent of the New York Times says:
There is one curious feature of the London
season at its height in these last days Of June.
There is really no night. At 9 P. N. you can read
your newspaper Out-Of-dOOrs. At IL the whole
northwest is IN a glow Of sunset twilight Before
day is done. the dawn has begun, and the sun
rises glorlously st o'clock. OF course we pay
for ell this in December, when the sun only
makes pretence of rising, and we are often
obliged 10 light the gas at noon.
But must say that the English summer is very
delightful. London used to say there were bat
two countries in the world worth living in-Eng.
land and Italy. Lord BrOughsm, in the later
years Of his life, vibTeted between Scotland and
the pretty place he discovered one dsy-invented
as the French say-On the shores of the Mediter-
ranesn. In the summer England has long days, q
SOFT moist atmosphere, climate never too warm,
grass ever green, wonderful wealth Of foliage
and flowers, and never a mosquito, fly or other
Troublesome insect. Eight months of twelve the
climate Of England is very enjoyable.

Theophile Gsutier sought 20 be introduced TO
Charles Dickens, during the lstteT's sojOuru in
Paris, but Dickens would not see him. Gautier,
some twenty years ago, published an article in
the Mobiteuf, In which be said that, Dickens was
vastly oyerated as 3 novelist. He abused him
because both the Daily News and Household
Words displayed great hostility toward Louis Ma
poleon, whose cause Gsuter had suddenly
espoused. Dickens, who devotes great deal Of
France, sympathizes with the Democratic party
in that country, and bis French friends ell belong

The Naturalization Observation-Disclosures
Statement by Lord stanley.

LONDON, July l7.-ln the House last evening
Lord stanley, secretary of foreign affairs, made
an important statement in answer TO a question
asking for information. he said he had already
sent a communication to the United States on
the matter Of naturalization, the substance Of
which was that the British ministry was ready
TO accept the American view of the question,
be therefore thought q misunderstanding between
the two nations was impossible. Stanley also
stated that he had declined to make treaty at
