Extension of Theirs Powers and Duties
as President Of the Republic.

NEW YORK, August A Parii
special gives the following particular
about the caucus of the Left Center o
the National Assembly, which voted
yesterday for the prolongation o.
Theirs power as President OF the Re
public.
The deputies Of the Left Center,
nominally all moderate Republicans,
were converted by circular, which
bore the signature of Gambetta and
others for the purpose of shaping
policy for the party, and to take some
definite action concerning the pro
posed extension of Thiers' term OF
office. The meeting was very har-
mOnious. All the members spoke In
praise of Theirs administration, and
recommended him as the only man
who is now capable to keep balance
between all parties. The meeting de-
cided to support Theirs in his policy
of moderation and to discourage the
maneuvers of Legitimists and Bona
partists.
One deputy submitted motion re-
quiring the government to abstain
from all interference in Roman af-
fairs. 1t was accepted. The caucus
then voted by a majority of one hun
dred and ninety against five to advO-
cate in the National Assembly pro-
longation of Theirs power for three
years, with the proviso that Theirs
should bear the title of President of
the French Republic instead of Chief
of Executive as heretofore. The
meeting resolved, by the same vote,
to create the Office of Vice President,
the Vice President to be at the same
time President of the Council. 1t
was further decided to express conf
dence in Theirs by giving him power
to choose a Vice President, but Theirs
alone is to be responsible for the gov
eminent,

POLITICAL

Elections in North CarOIiRa---The Result.
NEW YORK, August 4.-Latest
advices indicate that IN the elections
in North Carolina yesterday the pro-
position for the Constitutional Con-
VentiOn was carried.
RALEIGH, N. c., August 4.-Re.
turns from Wake, Halifax and Meek
lenburg counties show a Republican
gain of 1908 over the vote of last
August, although all give a majority
against the Convention. Rocking
ham county gives 92 majority for the
Convention, Republican gain of $50.
New Haven county shows a large
Republican, and AnsOn and Warren
counties. small Conservative gains,
while Columbus county votes for the
Convention by small majority.
Nice Movements of the Peaceful Radicals.
New ORLEANS, August 4.-The
resolutions calling the Republican
Convention and not designating the
place for assembling, the State Com
mittee met last night for the purpose
of making a selection, and after much
Wrangling passed a resolution direct
ing the President to procure suitable
place for the meeting and give notice
Of the same through the Republican
Tuesday morning.
The city journals assert that a few
weeks since the expenses of the City
Hall was five thousand dollars, but
increased last week to twelve thous-
and.
The Republican of this morning
gsTUr IL hn a #rA- -
improvements empty five hundred or
a thousand men for a week or two to
strengthen the levees, as this is the
season the gales come upon us. The
other city journals call this pretext
to reinforce the Warmothites. The
Inns. of this morning editOrially says:
''The war for supremacy between the
WarmOthites and Dunnites progresses
in this city with ferOcity, Vindictive-
ness and unscrupulOusness never
equaled by any party or faction in
this State. The whole Radical party,
including every Oficeholder of the
Federal, State aud city government, is
absorbed in this combat"
Public business and interest are ut
terly ignored, and the public money
ruthlessly squandered to promote the
fortunes of the one or the other fac
ton. Every species of fraud, deceit,
violence and trickery is employed to
the same end. The police are relieved
from the duty for which they are hired
and ordered to spread themselves over
the city to break up the clubs of the
adverse faction and control all the
primary meetings. The general order
is to beat the CustOm-house party, by
whatever means may be necessary.

THE EXPLOSION.
Examination into the Causes Of state.
ments of Witnesses.

NEW YORK, August 4.-The exami-
nation into the cause of the late dis
aster to the steamboat Wastfield was
continued this morning.
William o. Lighthall was placed on
the stand as a witness, and, referring
to his statement yesterday that it
must have taken more than twenty
seven pounds of steam TO explode the
Westield's boiler, said that the Opin-
ion was based upon the suppOsitiOn
that the longitudinal crack he discOv-
cred in the boiler was only eighteen
inches long. If the crack was more
than eighteen inches long, a very
small amount of steam might have
caused the explosion, and if less than
that length, il would require still more
pressure to burst il.
Engineer Martin was then sworn:
l examined the boiler after the eX-
plOsiOn, and thought / discovered a
fracture on one of the longitudinal
seams of the boiler, fifteen inches in
length, but it did not 90 through; the
explosion might have started there,
and then the whole thing went at
once; l think the boiler was good
one, in every sense of the word, or it
would not have caused such destruc-
ton; ii is the weak boiler that bursts
with but little damage to life and boat;
thirty-five pounds Of steam might
have ruptured the Westfeld's boiler,
or thirty-twO pounds might have done
il, but think il must have taken all
Of thirty-tWO; my instructions to my
assistants were that the safety valve
should blow at twenty-five pounds,
though it might sometimes run up to
tWenty-seven pounds, (The witness
here related a circumstance that Oc-
CURED on one OF the Union Ferry
COmpany's boats, where the valve
stuck fast, and steam run up to fifty
pounds before the difficulty was dis
cOvered.) l have carried twenty FIVE
pounds Of steam in boilers when l
could put the blade Of a jack-knife
through the cracks in the iron, and
you could have knocked holes through
il with a small hammer.
Assistant Inspector Mathews here
took the stand and said he desired to
state that Henry Robinson, engineer
of the Westfeld, was registered as
Henry Robertson on the books. It
seems he had license granted him after
being examined by Mr.. Reynolds,
Inspector Of the district. He had his
renewals at our Office, which we had
no right to refuse as long as there was
no complaint made against him. AT
the time Of the explosion his license
had run out and he had none.
Charles Franklin, a boiler maker, of
Jersey City, stated that he built the
boiler of the Westfield, in 1861, of the
best Pennsylvania iron. He consid-
cred it a first-rate job; as good as one
could make out OF the same material.
John 5. Smith, a practical engineer,
was examined, and gave professional
testimony. As to the pressure Of steam
on the boiler of the Westfeld, he said
there was no doubt of the fact that the
explosion was The result OF excessive
pressure.
At the conclusion Of his testimony
the investigation was adjourned until

ASSASSINATION.
An Imported Negro TO Kill A. E. Fulton OF
Monticello, Ark.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, August A.
The editor OF the Journal this morn
inc received the following cOmmuni-
cation from Hon. Z. II. Names, OF
Monticello, Drew county. The Jour
gl1I saws shocking as is the announce
ment, the authority is of a character
that precludes a doubt of the facts
stated:H
MONTICELLO, August l, 1871.
Hon. Joseph Brooks:
There was an attempt made last
night to assassinate Hon. f. A. Fulton
by John T. Murray, ,cOlored, imported
from Chicago for that purpose $50 be-
lieved heTe). Murray is now confined
in the county jail, awaiting trial.
Fulton was shot in the back, the
ball passing through the left lung, and
is considered in a dangerous condition.
There is q warrant out now for the
arrest of Hon. Herbert Mari, as acces-
sorry TO the deed. Great excitement
exists here on account of the sad crime
among all classes, both Wklte and
black.
1Signed7 Il. d. NAMES.
Fulton is a colored man, a member
of the last Legislature, and supported
the brindle-tail faction OF the Repub-
lican party. Mari is white man, a
member from the same county, and
a supporter Of the Minstrels and the
present Superintendent OF Public In
struction for the Tenth Judicial Dis
trict.
LATER ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
Additional particulars from Drew
county in reference to the assassina-
ton of f. A. Fulton have been re-
ceived. The man, Murray, and Full
ton had q personal alteration in the
afternoon, in which the former was
considerably worsted. Fulton gave
himself up and was released on pay
ing his fine. AfterWard Marr in
duced Murray to sue out warrant
against Fulton on charge OF assault
with intent to kill. Fulton was ar
rested and while in charge Of an Of
ficer, proceeding across the street,
Murray stepped up and shot Fulton
in the back twice. He is not expected
TO recover.
A. Goats, writing to the Journal,
saws: "This shooting was done with a
pistol belonging TO Mr.. Mari, and it
Is supposed that the whole transaction
was instigated and encouraged by Mr..
Mari, which, in the light of past events,
/ conclude is true. Mari and Murray
are both arrested and held for eXami-
nation" The affair creates great eX-
citement here among the cOlOred peO-
pie, where the two wings Of the Re
publican party are very hostile toward
each other. Fulton was well known
here, having lived here two years ago,
and was generally regarded as a very
fair man.

SPECULATION IN MILITARY LAND
WARRANTS.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., August A.
Speculation has been going on for
some time in the matter Of military
county land warrants, which the cir
cular from the General Land Office
to-day will put an end 20. Parties
having fled their claims for warrants
would be informed by some person,
whom they supposed to have the
means Of learning in the department,
or in some way, at any rate they
would be impressed with the belief
that there was little chance of their
claim being allowed. The way being
thus paved for good bargain the
applicant would be induced to make
an assignment of his warrant in ad-
vance OF its issue with the date left
blank, TO be filled up when the war
rant had been obtained; the price
paid being Insignificant, of course. on
account of the pretended risk. III is.
moreover, not unlikely that the pur-
chaser had information in advance of
the probable success of the application
in any particular which they entered
upon. It is not known how exten-
sfyely this fraud has been practiced,
nor how many claimants have been
thus sWiDdled.
