The Democratic Nominations.

The Democratic convention for the First
Congressional District met yesterday after
noon at Hawkins club room lover the
saloOn), for the purpose of nominating two
candidates to be defeated at the ensuing No
yember election.
Abont half-past two o'clock the meeting
was called to order. Mr.. J. A. Letten being
appointed temporary chairman and Mr..
Dupeire secretary.
A committee on credentials, Messrs.
Lewis, Rawle and CalOngne, was appointed,
who, after some time spent in conference
and examining certificates, reported that all
was serene.
Mr. Frank Rawle was then chosen per-
petual president, the perpetuity being about
two hours duration, and the business pro-
ceeded.
motion was made to adjourn to the
tenth instant; the yeas and nays being
called the motion was tremendously lost.
Nominations for the short term being in
order, Mr.. Letten offered a paper. which
was read: the paper being an able exposition
of the reasons why Mr.. L. st. Martin should
be the choice of the convention for the short
term, and sent to Congress if the party
could send him. The gentleman concluded
by nominating Mr.. st. Martin, who was by
acclamatiOn declared to be the choice of the
convention as their candidate for the short
term.
Messrs Amos D. Craig, John S. Tully, A.
w. Walker, j. b. Weller and E. L. Jewell
were then pnt in nomination by several
delegates as candidates for the long term.
At the first ballot Mr.. Craig received three
votes, Mr.. Jewell eight votes, Mr.. Weller
five votes, Mr.. Tully eight votes and Mr..
Walker twenty-eight votes. So Mr.. A. w.
Walker, Of St. Bernard, was declared the
nominee of the convention. resolution
was then passed to make the nomination
unanimous.
On the result being announced, Mr..
Walker made, in a serious manner, an ad-
dress which. though short, was full OF jokes
about the certainty Of success, the Demo-
cratic party being the only party that ac-
corded equal rights to all men, the restora-
ton of peace and security to all by its sue
cess, and other humorous remarks, which
were gtavely cheered.
A motion to adjourn and take drink was
then offered and carried very unanimously.
Our reporter has witnessed that kind OF
thing often enough to obtain a somewhat
accurate idea how it is done; so he did not
stay to see the delegates drink. But an
anxious public may rest assured that the
drinking was accomplished.

THE TARE ON SUGAR.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
!Siy-On the eve of the opening Of the new
sugar crop, would like to call your atten-
ton to fact of vital Importance to the COM
merce of this city. 1t is the vexed question
of the ten per cent tare allowed on all sugars
from plantation, and which every one en-
gagged in the trade knows has caused great
coIIsplaint among sugar buyers.
In the West Indies, and the Western and
Northern cities, the tare on sugars in hhds
is uniformly twelve per cent. This differ
ence of two per cent in favor Of the West
India sugars has caused heavy deprecia-
ton on our product, and forced the Western
buyer to seek the Northern market, causing
us already to lose the trade Of the upper
Mississippi, and a good deal Of the Western
trade,
Now, it is time that our sugar planters and
merchants should face the situation, shake
off that apathy which has so often par
alyzed our commerce, and keep up with the
times.
The Chambers Of Commerce Of this city,
Mobile and Galveston have also adopted the
twelve per cent or actual tare 1.-THE latter
for clarified sugars), and l trust that the
Planters' Association, which IL to meet on
the fifth instant, viii rise to the emergency
and adopt measures to relieve % OF this IN
cubus 0n our market.

YELLOW FEVER AT GALVESTON.

First Case from Liverpool.
The first fatal case of yellow fever in Gal
weston was on the twenty eighth of Septem-
Der, that of Captain Cleves, of the ship Her
bert, which arrived at that port on the
nineteenth day Of August, having been
fifty-three days from Liverpool with
cargo Of salt and cotton ties. Captain
Cleves was in bad health, he had suffered
from the rheumatism during the whole Of
the voyage, and was at the time Of his ar
rival also suffering from jaundice. Dr.
Pete, the Health Officer, prescribed for him.
He afterward became seriously i'll Of bill
ious fever, and was removed to the resi-
dence of Mr.. David McClusky, corner of
Fourteenth and POstotfice streets.
He suffered relapse, and died on Wednes-
day evening, between seven and eight
o'clock, of the black vomit. Mr.. McClusky
took every precaution that his intelligent
medical advisers could suggest to prevent
the spread of the contagion. Disinfectants
were literally used, and the bed, with its
clothing, carried to the beach and burned
at daylight.
Ihe Galveston " etcS 0QuS:
Mr.. James Borland, employed in the job
room of the News Office, is dangerously sick,
and his wife is also sick, but less severely.
Drs. Hayden and Randall pronounce the
disease to be yellow fever. Mr.. BOrlands
residence is near the beach, in location
which all would pronounce to be most
healthful.
Mrs, Lauve, wife of Mr.. Alphonse Lauve,
cashier of the Texas Banking Company, is
also dangerously ill. Her physicians pro-
nounce it to be an undoubted case Of yellow
fever.
Mrs. Lauve died on the thirtieth ultimo.
The same paper describes the condition
of the public mind of Galveston, which had
trusted confidently in quarantine protection:
As soon as it was noised abroad that
there had been death from yellow fever.
there was some thing akin to panic. Men
hurried to and fro. Those who had come
down to their places of business returned in
haste to give their families directions A
large crowd succeeded in getting on the
train, which was detained few minutes
for their reception. OF course there were
exaggerated rumOrs. Cases without num-
Der were reported. and people at all scary
were needlessly alarmed.
