CINCINNATI, July GA mass meeting,
called to give expression to the sentlmones
Of the friends Of the Sunday laws now
sought to be repealed here, was heid To-
night in Pixies Opera House. There was
an immense audience, fully three thousand
ladies and gentlemen present,
largely of our best citizens. tuly Two
not get IN. Hon. George F. Davis, of the
Board of Aldermen, presided with q long
list of vice presidents. Addresses were
made nv the president, William M. Ramsey,
Esq., Hon. Rufus King and prominent cler-
gymen.
Resolutions were adopted declaring Sunday
laws in the State and municipalities to be q
wise, iudici0us and wholesome enactment,
and in complete harmony with State and
federal constitutions, the genius of our gov
eminent and the moral convictions of the
founders of our institutions, and announcing
opposition to any change of policy that
would repeal them; that q demand for re-
peal wa upon i~rreligious ground, and COM
ing, as it did, not from the toiling multi
tude, nor from those engaged in legitimate
and honorable trade, but from pleasure
seekers and dealers in intoxicating bever-
ages, whose business tended to lawlessness,
poverty and crime, could not be regarded
as the voice of the people, but OF q class in
the interest of dissipation, which should not
influence the lawmakers; that the preserva-
tiol of the civil Sabbath substantially, as
non regulated by law, was indispensable to
the moral and physical welfare of the labor
ing classes, and the best and only available
means of protecting them from the avarice
of capitalists, and of securing to them a
regular stated day of rest, which the laws
OF nature imperatively demand: that; as
citizens, they should be protected against
the proposition to repeal the Sunday laws,
and would honorably labor to maintain un-
altered the time-honored policy of the gov
eminent in regard to the liberation and pro-
lection of religion.

declared to have maintained her rule so
long by variety of ~artiice, and can, now
that her cunning devices are known, be clas-

ridiculous blonde (short, curly, golden): the
cephalic blonde torange TINT, and the lynn
phatic blonde (pale straw color). Among
all these the cephalic orangecolor has al

claimants began suits in the Supreme Court
to-day to recover from the city amounts
which they allege are due for work on pub

Edmund Jones for $50, 900. The latter GEN

WASHINGTON, July 3I.-An imitation of
the New York fight IN Tammany began
here to-day. The Patriot charges in a di-
rect manner, and with much detail. that
the chairman of the Committee on Ac-
counts of the Legislature obtained the con-
tract for fitting up the quarters for the new
government, and in painting, papering,
carpeting and furnishing, managed to run
his bills up to over one hundred thousand
dollars.
The Star, this evening, claims that the
bill will not exceed twenty-six thousand,
and so the issue on these accounts is fairly
Joined. The last account, however, does
not include the furniture.

Prom the vidalis Herald

The Republican convention which met in
the Courthouse last Saturday was most
harmonious, and united in opposition to any
plan that might result in discord, or cause
Ill feeling, in the selection of delegates to
attend the State convention at New Orleans
ON the ninth of August,
The selection of Mr.. Harris was most
hearty and unanimous. The Republicans
of this parish recognize in him the embodi-
rneut Of all that is essential in a political
leader. His fine ability and past patriotic
action have secured him many firm and
answering friends among those who be-
Ieve in Republican principles.
The choice of the Hon. George Washing
ton wa a rood one, and if not as unani-
nous as that of Mr.. Harris, was heartily
-concurred in after the ballot.
The Republican party of this parish is as
solid and united now as at any time since
Its organization, and no new departure"
device can seduce its members from their
adherence to those of thelr own party
whom they place implicit faith and conf
sdence.
1t was generally believed by the delegates
that this new departure business meant the
adoption by the Democrats of some OF the
declared principles of Repubicanism,
which they have long denounced as usur-
patton and fraud for the purpose only Of
SSCuIluS HUtCS az INC cOuulug tltcltous dn0
if, at this late hour, that party can so for
depart from its past unwise policy, and re-
cognize in these principles enough that is
good to warrant Incorporation in its plat
form, it is a partial, if not honest, indorse-
ment of Republicanism; and taking this
view of the matter, they could see no rea-
son why they should change their allegiance
to the leaders Of the newly adopted faith,
N preference to those who have been faith
FIJI advocates of the same principles during
the bitter past, and under whose guidance
tney have arrived at their present prosper
condition.

Horrible Explosion in Greek Waters.
u n. l.4A.-IaAoI A4lo.n LII Q .E-nrll

Horrible Explosion in Greek waters.
By q letter dated Athens, July s, it would
appear that travelling in Greek waters is
scarcely safer than travelling in Greece
by land. On Monday, the third of july
the Greek ~company's steamer Eouomia left
the Piraus to make the tour of the Pelo-
ponnesus, having on board about one hum
dred and thirty passengers, among whom
were a newly married couple bound for the
Island of Spezzia. 1t was resolved at
breakfast to fire, ON reaching that island, a
salute in their honor: and for the purpose of
getting powder q man descended with a
lighted candle into the magazine under
meath the saloon, leaving the trap-door
open. A little girl, the daughter of Col
onel Snuse, commandment of the Pir8us,
coming into the saloon, stumbled over the
trap-dOor, and the candle was upset, a hor-
rible explosion being the result. The child
and her father were two of upward of forty
whose charred remains were recovered
from the sea. The unhappy bridegroom
rushed into a cabin, from amid the smoke
of which he carried off what he believed
was his bride, and plunged with her into
the water. On being picked up by a boat,
however, he found that he had rescued
from death a young lady of Athens, and he
returned to the steamer to find his wife
burned to death. The scene of this terrible
catastrophe was near the town of Spezzia,
the inhabitants of which place crowded in
their boats to the rescue of the surviving
passengers. The greatest indignation was
expressed toward the captain of the Eouo-
mia, who did notthink proper to run the
risk of landing at Spezzia, but conducted
his disabled vessel to SYRIA.
