The British Claims Commission.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-No cases viii

Claims Commission before December.
The rules adopted do not exclude any
claims having the color of justice. Claims

millions of dollars.
The Cotton Tax.
The delegates to the Baltimore Com.
mercisl Convention have written for in
formation in regard to the condition of
the case before the Supreme Court in
volving the constitutionality of the cotton
tax. An attempt will probably be made
to induce the convention to recommend
the refunding of that tax. The case came
before the court on an appeal from the
Western District of Tennessee, where the
government was sustained. At the time
of the argument before the Supreme Court
the Chief Justice was absent and an even
number of Judges present. VIM. w.
Goest and r. B. Curtiss argued against
the constitutionality of the tax, the gov
ernment being represented by Assistant
Attorney General Hill The decision of
the lower court was affirmed by an equally
divided court. The effect was to decide
the special case presented in favor of the
government without rendering an opinion
upon the question, of the constitutionslity
of the law. ThSkourt was understood to
have decided according to the politics of
the Judges.

ports of the company, but also attacks
Mr. Newcomb for not controlling the
majority of the stock in the Louisville
Bridge Company.
1t is somewhat surprising TO those who
know the facts in the case to resd 'Spes-
tatOr's" account of this transaction. Il Is
well known that when ne Louisville
Bridge Company was drst organized the
Jefferson Railroad interest had subscribed
majority of the stock (the good people
of Louisville falling to subscribe as much
as the friends of the JeffersonviIle Rzil-
road did, while each railroad company
took the same amount of stock The or
ganizstion of the Bridge Company was
effected while Mr. Guthrie was president,
but he was in i'll health and confined 70
his room Mr. NeWcomb was absent N
Europe, and, although elected q direc-
tor in the L ,uisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, had not ye.
been qualified as sucn. Spectator" 1--WE
cannot be mistaken In the mani was then
a director in the louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, and he stood BY, saw
the outrage which he complains of com
mitted, and now, at this late date, lays
the responsibility upon 3 man who was
several thousand miles away from the
scene of action.
/: is not necessary to say anything more
than this to indicate To the intelligent
stakeholder of the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company how much trust
should be put in Spectators" statements.
1t is hardly necessary TO make any fur
ther effort 10 refute the accusations of the
Office-seekers, who wish TO take posses
sion of the company s property by means
of the City Council and its Mayor. We
consider the election already decided. 1t
is known that the private stockholders, 30
keen to understand aud Sppreheud lhe
danger which now threatens them, viii
vote almost IS body for the present
management A majority of the counties
will do the same, and IL 'Spectstor"
will write a few more articles
such as the one referred to-thOse stock
holders and counties that yet may be
wavering will soon decide in fsyor Of the
old board. Although their votes are not
wanted, yet it will serve to make the
protest stronger against the attempt OF
self-cOnstituted refOrmers to manage this
important property, and who so far have
shown no other qualification for such an
undertaking other than to misrepresent
and abuse the successful management OF
the affairs of the company.

ANOTRER OUTRAGE.

We publish this morning brief men
tion of tho killing of three negroes near
DecheId. However justly these negroes
deserved punishment, it is extremely un-
fortunate that they should have been 60
summArily dealt with. The Radical par
ty are hunting up all such instances as
these, and will make capital of them,
not only in Congress, but in the present
and approaching political canvasses. The
people of the South are not responsible
for them, and yet they must nd them
selves of seeming responsibility by such
action as will carry conviction to every
reasonable mind in the country. A Ku-
Klux bud yields Radical fruit

SYRACUSE, Sept. %. - The Greeley
Committee had meeting at 9 O'Clock,
which was largely attended, Chairman,
Sinclair Tousey. Thomas E. Stewart
and Ira o. Miller expressed their dissatis-
faction at the manner in which the dele
gates were treated by the Convention.
Stewart, whose address was loudly sp-
plsuded, said the New York delegation
had not Withdrawn unsdvisedly, and
would never go back on the present foot-
ing. Keeping the delegation out was one
of the wickedest, basest frauds ever de-
vised by any Senator or any other man.
An sllusion to the Massachusetts Con-
vention brought out remark by Tousey
that the Members and Senators of that
State do not go on the floor of the Con-
yention and act as whippers in.
A delegate from Tompkins county said
the delegation from that county, though
sympathizing with the Committee, could
not leave the Convention.
Miller said let Us come out distinctly
not only against Tammany Hall corrup-
ton, but against the shoddy oppressors of
our own ranks.
An adjournment was had till eleven
o'clock. The feeling is very bitter.
The Regular Radical Convention.
The Convention assembled at 8 80 this
morning. 1t was observed that John A.
Griswold was not present.
Isaac II. Bailey, of New York, char
acterized the rejected delegation as the
instruments of Tammany, and thought
nothing was lost by their withdrawal.
He called up resolution allowing the
remaining delegation full vote.
Sigismund Kaufman was opposed to
the resolution, as there were many excel
lent men in the Withdrawing delegation,
whom he hoped to see return.
The chair stated that the resolution had
been withdrawn.
Some of the st. Lawrence delegation
expressed their willingness to remain in
the convention.
A permanent organization was then ef-
fected by the election of Andrew d.
White as President.
Nomination..
The convention then proceeded to uom-
nations. Francis ]. Thayer was nomi-
mated for Secretary ::Of State, ths mover
of his nomination stating that he was the
only Senator who voted against the New
York city charter.
In the interest of harmony, however,
the name of Thayer was not pressed and
that of G. Hilton Scribner was presented
and adopted as the candidate for Secre-
tsry of State.
N. Z. Hopkins was then nominated as
candidate for Comptroller.
Another Feeble Bolt.
At this stage Furbush announced that
the delegations from the fret third, sixth
and eighth districts of Kings county do
now withdraw from the convention, ow-
ing to its last nights action.
Oakley, contesting delegate from
Kings, said the remaining delegates were
true Republicans and were fairly treated
by the convention.
Thomas E. Raines was nominated for
Treasurer. Francis G. Barlow was nomi-
mated Attorney General, receiving vote
of 1894 to 189 votes for Henry Smith.

Chairs and Table-Legs versus
Fists and Canes.
Pistols Drawn and Flourished
Timely Arrival OF Police.

NEW YoRK, Sept 28.-Special &C.
counts represent that the opening scenes
at the Syracuse Convention were of a
shameful character. One report states
that when the delegates gathered at the
hall, they found the doors barred a ID
bolte ], and guarded by several policemen
obstructlng their entrance. A cry was at
once set up, sSThe Customhouse has
brought its Marshals here" A voice was
heard in the crowd, '.Are there any Cat
lin guns hereH"
When the door was opened at half past
eleven q rush commenced which was met
from the inside. Chairs and table legs
were freely used by the defenders of the
citadel and fists and canes by the attack
ing party. At last one of the latter drew
q pistol, but before he could use it he
was felled to the floor by blow from the
back of one of the iron seats, laying his
cheek open and putting him hors du com
bat.
At this iuncture detachment of police
arrived who no doubt prevented much
bloodshed as the attacking force was con-
stantly increasing in numbers, and the
resistance from within could not have
been maintained much longer.
Another dispatch says that gangs of
New York roughs came into town during
the night Early in the morning 1t was
evident that there would be serious
trouble, if not actual bloodshed. At the
opening of the door, about III O'Clock,
when the confusion began, several re-
volvers were drawn and fiourished by
parties in the crowd outside, while those
inside tore the loose furniture apart and
stood ready with legs of tables and chairs
to club the intruders. 'Put down those
pistols" 'Don't shoot; don't shoot"
''Kill the son of -; kill him"
'sBlow his brains OUT" ''Open the door,"
'rNot a damned one of you will get In"
'eYod'n sll get In" and ejsculations more
expressive than elegant were INDUCED in
until the place seemed worse than bed
lam.
Views OF fhe New York Greeleyites.
There was much surprise last night
among Greeley's adherents in this city at
the course taken by the Convention. Ex-
pressions of dissatisfaction at the appa-
rent temerity [timidityll shown by the
Greeley -Fenton delegation were very
general. 1t is believed they would have
defeated the Conkling party had they
acted with becoming boldness.
The Tribune editorially says that the
chairman of the Convention, while he
used his position in the nsrrowest, most
unfair manner, packing the committees
exclusively in the Conkling Custom House
interest, giving only two cut of fourteen
members on the Committee on Creden-
tials to the wing of the party which voted
against him, which lacked only fifteen of
the majority of the regular delegates, adds
that they were obliged to withdraw after
the accusation speech of Conkling. 1t
thinks that the Custom House clique care
nothing for success in the State or in the
nation, in comparison with the accom-
plishment of their own sordid, selfish
schemes.

surgeons that there were twenty wounds,
some fifteen to eighteen shot OF slugs en-
tering his chest. Nelson ran back into
the saloon with the gun, and in the ex.
citement made his escape, going from the
back of the saloon through q store 10
Gay street, thence-nO one knows where.
Gen. Clanton was taken into the Lamar
House dead.
THE EVIDENCE.
The evidence before the COroner's Jury
showed that when Nelson came Gus with
the gun, Clanton had rot drawn his
weapon, but was evidently waiting for
Nelson 70 take his place and give him
some chance before shooting.
This evidence bears upon itself suffl.
cient comments. There is nothing we
could say half as severe as the plain facts
sworn 10 by the Witnesses. Nelson hsd
been drinking freely during the day, and
was very much under the influence Of
liquor at the time of the murder.
ENTIRELY PERSONAL.
As we said al the beginning, this un-
fortunate affair occurring here between
two persons not resident of our city is
lamented by all our citizens. 1t can
safely be said of this case that it was not,
in any respect, political prejudices that
brougEt about the sad tragedy. Col.
Nelson has been for some years promi
nently identified with the same political
party as Gen. Clanton, and there was,
therefore, no such provocation.
Gen. Clanton had msde many warm
friends here by his genial manners, and
for the short time he had been in our
midst was very popular.
His remains were taken to his home in
Alabama by Gen. Gindrat Judge Rice,
and other friends, on the train az l1:45
LAST night.
GEN. CLASToN's ANTEOKDENTs.
Gen. James II. Clanton was born in
Georgia, in the year 1927, and was in
the 45th year of his age. He served a
term in the Legislature of Alabama and
was Wing elector in 1850.
When Alabama seeded frcm the
Union he was among the first to Volun-
teer, and commanded troop of Confed-
crate cavalry at the battle of Shiloh, and
by conspicuous gallantry attracted the
favorable notice of his superior officers.
Shortly afterwards, he was promoted to
the rank of colonel and finally to that of
general of brigade, and was constantly in
active service. In the spring of 1865,
while resisting the advance of Gen.
Steele's column, between Pensacola,
Florida, and Pallard, Alabama, be was
badly wounded and taken prisoner.
He was one of the most popular men
in his State, and had long held the posi-
ton of chairman of the Democratic State
Executive Committee. He was the legal
Representative of the State of Alabama
in the settlement of the Chattanooga
Railroad.
He married a most estimable lady, and
leaves family of several children, who,
since the war, were dependent upon his
individual exertions for their support
and who will feel their loss most poig-
nantly.
