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
(Campbell) owed his election to the riot. When
peace and liberty would be restored, the blame
would be placed where il properly belonged. Mr..
Campbell spoke of presses being destroyed, but
he could tell OF women being dragged from Their
beds to prison, men robbed and 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 a newspaper Office that had praised
the people for its order, the day before, would be
herelded through the North for political purposes;
but the time would come when these political
measures would be of no effect. IL Mr.. Camp
bell thought II would do him any good in the fu-
ture let the resolution pass, but he, Mr.. Blackman,
would record his vote against It.
Mr.. Brsughn thought that the question had been
sufficiently discussed and again moved to lay the
resolution on the table. Carried by l6 ayes to 8

ARRIVAL OF UNITED STATES SOLDIERS

GALVESTON, July lion the evening OF the
18Th, not commenced at Mnlican, station on
the Central railroad. A. mob OF twenty i've ne
Croes, led by q white school teacher and me-
gro preacher named Brooks, attempted TO hang
a man named William Holiday. The white cti'
Kens 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 18th the numbers increased on both sides,
and skirmishing occurred during the day; 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
20 FIVE hundred, had intrenched themselves ABOUT
their arms.
The rioters have dispersed and gone home, after
losing from fifty to sixty Of their number.
- II is now ascertained that the difficulty arose
from the suppostion that negro member OF the
loyal league mad been hung, but who has since
been found.

Holden to appoint municipal officers. II is said
to be an extraordinary affair. The governor

JUNE IN ENGLAND.-The London coTespon-

There is one curious feature Of the London
season at its height in these last days Of June.
There Is really no night. At P. n. you can read
your newspaper out-of.doOrs. At IL the whole
northwest is IN glow Of sunset twilight. Before
day is done, the dawn has begun, and the sun
rises gloriously at o'clock. of course we pay
for sll this in December, when the sun only
n axes a pretence of rising, and we are often
obliged TO light the gas at noon.
But must say that the English summer is very
delightful. London used to say there we're but

The Naturalization Question-ImpOrtant
Statements by Lord stanley.

LONDON, July l7.-In 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 naturalza cation, the substance Of
which was that the British ministry was ready
to accept the American view of the question,
be therefore thought Misunderstanding between
the two nations was impossible. Stanley also
stated that he had declined to make treaty at
present, as the royal commission are still con-
sidering the general subject, and for the addi-
tional reason that time will not permit the pas
sage of bill the present session.

" hOm Can I'VE TruSt ,

Inc aboYe1nqulry Is very pertinent, and
may well be made by Republicans at this
time, when those in whom they have placed
confidence, are proving themselves wholly
unworthy of it
Perhaps. at this time, we should be more
ready to say in whom we would not trust,
than in whom would.
1t is quite safe to say that no man enjoyed
the confidence of his own party OF received
the abuse Of the other, more fully than
Judge Chase one year, even one half year
ago. Where is this confidence now ? Gone
vanished like the mists before the rising
sun. And the abuse which he was then re-
ceiving in such lavish profusion, has been
turned to adulaton and praise
Who would, who could have believed few
months ago, that one of the Heroic old
Pioneers in the cause of human liberty, one
whose record all through the trying, perilous
years just past was glorious and right.
so Respondent with all which ambitious
men might court, as was that of Salmon p.
Chase, would be found fawning like a beg
gar at the feet of PARTY composed of the
worst enemies of their country's prosperity,
those who were lately in arms for the over
throw Of their government and those who
sympathized with them in their efforts,
together with those who there from the
force of habit and association-who would
not for the world, be anything but Demo-
Gratis; and expressing an ardent desire to
once more see this party in the ascendant or
words to that effect
But let this fawning aspirant for the Prcsi-
dency drop-lct him go his way. He has
said and wrote and done enough, quite
enough, within the last few months, to dim
and obscure the glory of his former achieve
ments, and forfeit the confidence of thcs Sc who
would have been glad to do him honor, and
see him placed in the highest Office in their
gift.
Let his example remain Il warning for
all coming time to those who stand well, to
take heed lest they fall. From the contem-
plation of the detection of one who nai4ht
have left name that would have shoae
through the coming ages, let us turn and
look about to see if we can find none we
feel safe in trusting.

! 1t is now thought that Congress will pass
a funding bill this session, as the conference
committee have agreed upon report rec
ommending loan Mt IL per cent for
thirty years, and at / per cent for forty
years, principal and interest payable in coin,
and exempt from taxation. 1t will be easier
however, to pass such a bill than to sell the
bonds at par, while there is SO much talk as
now of practical reputation.
Speaker Colfax has appointed General
Butler, Judge Poland of Vermont and Mr.
Beck of Kentucky, Commissioners, under a
resolution of the House, to visit Prince
Edward Island this summer, in a revenue
cutter, They are to make inquiry into the
exports and imports of the Island and the
views and position, well as the authority
of the Colonial Government to enter into
special arrangements with.the United States.
This may be the initial movement toward the
annexation of the Island

That every delegate in that Convention from

Union man during the war. We presume
i; is also true that there is not a man in the
s)uth-white or black-who was loyal to the

not a sympathizer with the rebels who is not

The Senate have confirmed Henry NJ. Watts
as Minister to Austria, in place of Mr. Mot
ley resigned. Mr.. Sumner, in presenting
tie name of Mr. Watts, said that consider
ing the circumstances of Mr.. Motley's re-
naval, the indignity he had received from
the administration, the lustre that he had
shed upon his country and his vindication of
tn, reconstruction policy of Congress, which
hal great effect in Europe, he thought that
the country would gain much by keeping the
place open until it could be again rendered
to him. He contented himself with express
sin, this opinion, without making any OPP
position to the nomination., adding that he
had heard good tdings of the new Minister
and believed him to be a good Republican.

publican candidates stood upon the platform
Of paying blOnted spectators twice the
amount which we agreed to pay them, then
/ would vote for Frank Blair, even if worse
man than Seymour headed the ticket. This
is all want to say.
Mr. Ross.-Ihe Democratic doors are still
open, and IRE ,ciH take the gentleman IN.
Mr.. Stevens does not deal quite fairly with
Blair in this qualified promise to support
him. Blair says that bonds, currency, tariffs,
spoken of until the South is once more put
in the control of its old rebel masters Mr.
Stevens turns the question about, and says
that the rights of man, and especially loyal
men. in the reconstructed states are nothing,
and not to be thought of except under gov
eminent which will insist on paying its in
terest bearing debt in irredeemable paper
promises which bear no interest.
Blair and Stevens ought to harmonic their
differences. One wants the government to
repudiate everything it has done for the
rights Of man in the South, and the other
wants it to repudiate every honest promise it
has made to pay its debts. These twin relics
of barbarism, twin schemes of reputation,
have their proper home in the Democratic
party.
But Mr.. Stevens. we charitably believe, is
not quite so bad as he paints himself in this
debate. He is infirm and irritable and is,
moreover, very angry at the failure Of all his
attempts at impeachment. That this mental
and physical condition should incline him to
use threatening language to his political as
sociates is not, perhaps, surprising, however
it may be evidence of the
instability of a man who has won noble
position as one of the foremost in the long
struggle for freedom and republican forms OF
government When the old veteran attempts
i" fulfil his threat, and vote for Frank Blair,
&c trust some good friend will thrust before
is face the revolutionary and reasonable
lanifestO of this Democratic candidate for
ice President, and it cannot fail to bring
1r. Stevens back to his better self. and keen
i'm from turning his back upon all that has |
lade his record lustrous as the constant and
bic champion of the rights of the people, |

MIR. Stevens on Paying Bonds il

In the course of the debate in the House on
the Funding bill, on Friday last, the follow
ing developments occurred.
Mr. Stevens, Of Pa understand the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Ross, J who first
spoke upon this subject, to say that he I'M
derstood that our outstanding bonds should
be paid according to the principle of the
New York platform. What is that plat
form?
Mr.. Ross, Of Hl.-To pay the ive-twenties
in lawful money.
M Stovons You mean by lawful
money -
Mr.. Ross--Greenbacks; that is your doc
trine and mine.
Mr.. Stevens.-I hold to the Chicago plat
form, and. as | understand it, to the New
York platform, upon these bonds that these
bonds shall be paid just according to the ORR
ginal contract.
Mr. Pike, Of Me.-According to the spirit
and letter Of the contract.
Mr.. Farnsworth, of Ill-According to the
law
Mr.. Stevens-What was that law? That
bonds Of certain amount should bear five
per cent interest in gold. Now, up to the
time that they fall due, we must pay them
faithfully. After they fall due they are pay
able in money, Just as the gentleman under
>ldiltt> HlputN. .fuob DC L uliuCloIdHu
Just as we all understood it when we passed
the law authorizing that loan just as it was
dozen times explained upon the floor by the
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means, when called upon by gentlemen to
explain what it meant, and just as the whole
House agreed that it meant.
| want to add that if this loan was to be
paid according to the intimation of the gen
tleman from Illinois, (Mr. Ross,) if knew
that any party in this country would go for
paying in coin that which is payable in
money, thus enhancing it one half; If | knew
there was such platform and such a deter
mination this day the part of any party,

upon the taxpayers of the country 1 would
vote for no such speculation in favor of the
large bondholders, the millionaires, who
