CONVENTION OF CONDUCTORS.

The Convention assembled at HoOley's
Opera House, in Chicago, on the 4th Of
October, and remained in session two days
Nearly three hundred delegates, repre-
seHting the principal railroads in the com
try, were in attendance, Captain Charles
Toms representing the East Tennessee
Virginia and Georgia Road.
The annual address was delivered by
Mr.. W. G. Sears, of the Michigan South
ern Railroad. 1t was an able effort and
elected great applause. On the subject Of
mutual insurance, we take the following
extracts from Mr.. Sears address

A BL0OBTHIRSTY VILLAIN.
He Attempts Wholesale Assassination
Two of His Victims i'm the Hospital.

Two of His Victims in the Hospital.
The bloodiest affair that has ever occur
red in the neighbOrhood of Memphis, was
enacted on board of the Susie Silver, ~
ing at our wharf Monday night. At a
late hour number of white men were sit
ting around the stove TO keep themselves
warm. One of the number named John
son got up to go to bed, and told another
white man to take his seat. Before, how
ever, the white man had time to sit down,
hideous looking negro named Owen,
with face like a large eOcoanut, and lips
similar to sides of rusty bacon, planked
himself right in the chair. This sort of
indignity and insult could not be borne by
people with much less spirit than those to
whom it was offered. A quarrel ensued.
The negro pulled out big knife and pro-
ceeded to carve unfortunately.
He cut one man in the breast right oyer
the heart, he nearly severed the thigh OF
another man, and cut and hacked a third
in all directions. Recommended the busi-
ness without ceremony and carried it on
with such vigor that there was no posi-
bility of stopping him until the damage
was done; and, had not the knife slipped
out of his hand, it is within the range OF
possibility that he would have killed at
least half dozen men. He is certainly
the most sanguinary being of the human
mould that ever sailed on the Mississippi.
He was arrested and locked up in the
Adam street station house. The names OF
the injured parties are Pat. Ryan, Thomas
Halligan and George Ross. Two of them
are in the city hospital. The murderous
negro is now in jail, having failed to pro-
cure three thousand dollars bond before
the recorder yesterday morning

Anecdote of Gen. Mcclellan.

Gen. John 3 Magruder told the follow
ing incident in the early life of General
Mcclellan:
The fire from the hill of Chapultepec
was terrible. Fifty pieces of heavy artil-
lery were massed against my gun battery
at point blank range, and in the valley be-
low regiment of lancers were forming
for charge. Our fire had been slackened,
and the men were lying down. A young
man sat beside one of the guns amusing
himself with picking up pebbles and shoot

TECHNICAL EDUCATION IN Russia
Difficulty having been experienced in Rus
STA in obtaining skilled labor for the con-
stTuction and management of the different
railway services, the subject of technical
education is engaging the attention of the
Government. To Obviate the need Of
foreign labor, the Minister of Travel has
written to the different boards of direction
to suggest that all railway companies
should subscribe sum, calculated accord
ing to the scale of their mileage, which
should be devoted to the organization of
schools, by means of which strictly tech
nical education might hereafter supply
the country with the kind of skilled labor
in which it is now so deficient. This APP
peal met with an immediate response. A
capital of I55, 900 roubles has already been
subscribed. These schools viii be presided
over by representatives from the Boards of
Direction Of the different railway compa-
MES, at the same time that they will be os-
tensibly under State management.

Correspondence Of the CHRoNICLEl
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Nov. IA.
The Legislature is now complete. With
in the last few days the two vacant seats in
the Senate have been filled, and there are
now the full hundred legislating for the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-05-26
A BROTH WITH TWO FLAVoRs,

VaAandigham is coming in for a very
large number Of protests at present from
the irreconcilable Democrats, against
whom he drew political draft last Mon
day from his Office at Dayton, Ohio. The
st. Louis Republican insists that his &C.
count has long been overdrawn, and the
Louisville Ledger declares that his credit
is too shaky to be of any worth in Ken
lucky. He is characterized as a sensa-
tionalist by the Bourbons and as a fossil
by the radical Democrats: And all this
because he responded to the demand of
the address issued by all the Democratic
congressman in studied and Ineligible
letter, accepting of their suggestions. The
address invited the Democracy to accept
of the settled sentiment of the country in
favor Of the various constitutional amend
ments, and Mr.. Vallandigham yielded his
assent to the invitation. The address was
we'll received by the partisans to whom it
was addressed, but, strange to relate, the
concurrence therein of the Ohio leader is
violently denounced as betrayal of the
rights of the States and desertion of the
ancient traditions. 1t is true the con-
gressional address was a frothy con-
Germ, deliberately designed to present
two faces to the country upon
thexsubject Of the amendments, still it
was sufficiently explicit to be read in a
loyal neighborhood without creating a
disturbance. On its face it wore the
aspect Of a resigned acceptance of the
will of the people, and this treacherous
appearance Mr.. Vallandigham assumed to
be an honest concurrence in the rule of
the majority. He made mistake, as all
men do who trust any of the deliberate
and well matured enunciations of policy
from the present Democratic
party. 1t is assumable that he made a
because he has been denounced
for concurring in what had been uni
versally accepted by his friends. If the
address was worthy of commentator for
its dialectic adhesion to the amendments,
then indeed was Mr.. Vallandigham wor-
thy of vociferous applause and an encore
for adhering to the same principles in |
vigorous, energetic and
American fashion That he has not been
applauded establishes one or the other of
three conclusions either that the De-
accepted an address which it did
not understand or that it accepted an
address that meant something more than
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-05-26
PONTOTOC FOR PEACE,

The fight at Pontotoc, Mississippi, be-
tween body of Ku-Klux and a posse of
citizens, the particulars of which have
hitherto been published, is worthy of
reference for two reasons; first, it estab-
fishes the existence of the khan in one
particular place beyond all doubt; and
secondly, it develops very commend
able spirit on the part of the citizens of
Pontotoc The khan, thirty strong,
dressed in its uniform of black, marched
into town for the purpose of suppressing
Republican newspaper. The citizens
assembled and demanded the surrender
of the marauders, which being refused,
they fired upon and drove off the lawless
and disorderly mob. This is the way to
keep the peace, and it is the best inven-
ton in the world for arresting what the
South complains of as military inter
ference on the part of the government
If the citizens of every locality will only
initiate the example of Pontotoc, they
will not only benefit themselves in their
local interests, but they earn from the
country tribute to their orderly DISPOSE
ton. 1t is to be hoped that the Repub-
icans everywhere will credit Pontotoc
with law-abiding disposition, even while
they report and condemn the Ku-Klux
effort in that vicinity as a proof of the
existence of the outlaws in the South
