GREELEY AND VICTORY.
THE ONWARD SWEEP Of THE
LIBERAL MOVEMENT.
Indiana, Vermont and Missouri Advo.
Democratic Nomination.

WASHINGTON, June Is.
The following Is an extract from the resolu-
tions adopted by the Indiana Democratic Con-
vention:
Therefore the fixed conviction of this con-
venton is that the Democratic Convention 10
assemble In Baltimore should adopt the nomi-
nees of the Liberal Republican Convention,
Instead OF making other nominations for the
Presidency and Vice.presidency of the United
States.
The Vermont Democratic State Convention
adopted resolutions endorsing the Cincinnati
platform, and favorIng union with any who
hold to Its principles.
The convention of the Ninth Congressional
District OF Massachusetts elected delegates to
baltimore, but refused to instruct them for
Cincinnati n0mineps.
Ford's Opera House at Baltimore has been
secured for the meeting of the Democratic Ma.
tional Convention.
Bugle Blast from Missouri.
ST. LOUIS. June 13.
In the Democratic Convention, The commit
tee on resolutions reported long preamble,
setting forth that by the patriotism aud sense
of justice of the Liberal Republicans and DEM
ocrais, Missouri has been redeemed from the
tyranny and oppression of the Radical minor
ity, and stating that the Liberals stand ready
to do the same thing for the country at large;
that they have already placed ticket In the
Held 10 which the support OF the Liberal Re-.
pubicans and Democratic party are already
committed. and that 1t would not only be
unwise, but wicked trlllng with the dearest
Interests OF the people, should the Democratic
party place another ticket In the field and thus
insure the election of Grant, the continued
aggression and plunder of the people, and the
destruction Of liberty and constitutional gov
ernment throughout the country.
These resolutions were adopted amid tumnl
tuous cheering. The announcement OF the
action of the Kansas, Iowa and Indiana con-
ventions was voclferously applauded.

will come OF our deliberations. We stand In
need of hope and help. But we must first
help ourselves; and something has been done
ln this direction. We will now put ourselves
In sympathy and active cooperation with the
great Democratic party of the counlry-a
party which has fought many brave battle
for the right and for civil liberty, and which,
too, has had 10 encounter great difficulties and
to sustain much obloquy In 80 doing. We
must be lust to them, and realize the stress OF
the position In which they have been placed
during and since the war. l am sure we DO
not generally understand the burden they
have had 10 carry.
If zoe have been subjected to insults and in
dignilies, so have they. Let US meet then as
friends and brethen aud lay open TO them our
hearts and feel the beatings of theirs In re-
sponse. Let us tell them the story of our
humiliation and suffering, the wrongs and
grievances Of q people who, by common &C.
knowledgment, are frank, lrue.hearted and
honest, and who, whatever their faults, play
fair with friend and ioe, and then appeal TO
them to take with us the only way that we can
see for our deliverance and rescue. The very
uuauimiiy of our sentiment will be our strong
est appeal, and 1t cannot be but that they will
heed 1t. The Cincinnati movement was spon-
taneous, unbought ontburst against inlolera-
BILE corruption and tyranny, It's platform ls
broad and catholic. It's nominees are honest
and outspoken. 1t meets the necessities of
the day, and points the way TO reunion of all
good and true men, for the reinstatement of
honest local government, and the con-
stitutional guarantee Of personal and civil
liberty. Let the Democrats OF the country
throw themselves in the movement with the
great and irresistible momentus of their pow
ertul organization, and they will swell the
ranks and win the glory OF o grand crusade
for the rescue Of our down-trodden land. If
tbey fail 10 do this, I see no exodus for us
from our land of bondage. But let us be of
good cheer and brave heart. Better omens
are around us. The day is beginning to dawn.
vista of relief Is open to us. Letus do man
fully what seems 10 ns honorable and right,
and trust the rest to benifcent Providence.
Gentlemen, again thank you, and wish you
each safe and happy return to your homes.

Success.
The grand sacred concert last evening at
the new German Church attracted large, re-
fined and attentive audience, and must have
proven complete and most gratifying success
In the amount of proceeds that will be realiz-
ed toward the payment of the debt upon the
beautiful new edl6ce. The choir seats were
occupied by large orchestra, composed Of
members of the Mozart VereIn and by q large
number of lady and gentlemen volunteers
from The various choirs OF the city. In addl
tion to these the gallery seats in front orthe
choir contained large and well trained jnve-
nile chorus, selected from the children OF the
German Sunday.school. Professor d. E.
Eckel presided at the organ, and
assisted Professor J. Helnemann In
conducting the concert. The programme
was interesting and varied, and many
of the pieces were rendered With
great taste and beauty. The opening piece
was grand symphony 10 G. by Mozart, given
BY the organ and full orchestra with fine effect.
Then followed The grand old choral, "a strong
castle is our Lord" soprano duett, another
chorus, with tenor and soprano soloe, and
trio from Haydn's Creation for soprano, bass
and tenor. After brief intermisslon the &C.
cond part of the programme was introduced
by another instrumental symphony. This was
followed by succession of solos and chornses,
and the whole concluded with Res's cantata,
''The Morning." which was given with fine
effect by the whole body Of singers, and with
full orchestral accompaniment. Altogether
the concert was complete and brilliant sue.
cess, and the audience frequently testified, in
every permissible way, their hearty apprecl-
alton of the refined and elegant entertain
mept.

HENDRICKS. THE KIDNAPPER.
The Details and Result of his Trial
Queer Rulings OF Judge Ersklne.
correspondence of the Savannah News.l

Correspondence OF the Savannah News
ATLANTA, Ga, June ii.
Judge Erskine has at last rendered his de-
cislon in the habeas corpus case OF Hendricks,
the so-caled United States deputy marshal
from South Carolina. 1t will be remembered
that Hendricks arrested young Hancock, oil
this city, some weeks ago under forged war
rant, and that Hancock was taken out of his
hands and discharged by Judge Ersklne him
self on the ground that the warrant was q
forgery.
4 CURIOUS DECISION.
It appears that no warrant had been issued
fn Soulh Carolina ior the arrest oil Hancock,
and that bis name, with Others, had been In
terlned after the warrant was brought to this
STATE. The warrant was brought 10 Georgia
by Hendricks, and the name OF Hancock was
forged and Inserted while the warrant was In
his hands. Under these circumstances he was
arrested, believe, on two charges-fOrgery
and false imprisonment. Judge Erskine dis
charged HIM, however, upon The ground tllat
what he did was done In pursuance OF hls
duty What an idea If Hendricks had had
q valid warrant In his hands there would have
been some excuse for his discharge; but he
had no warrant at all; for q forged warrant Is
not warrant In the eye of the law, and gives
no more authority than a blank plece oil
paper.
QUEER IDEA.
But the Judge did not stop here. The attor-
toruey general, acting for the State Of Geor'
gia, gave notice LIat he would carry the case
by appeal 10 the United States Supreme
Court, and asked that Hendricks be required
to give bond. The judge took "tims to con.
slider" He alway takes slime" to "consider.
Yesterday he announced "that no appeal lies
10 the Supreme Court of the United States in
this case"
THE EFFECT OF ERsKINE's DECISION.
As already slated, Hendricks made the ar.
rest without warrant, since forged warrant
Ia no warrant at all. In making the arrest
therefore, be- was guilty OF false imprison.
menC And as the name Of Hancock was
inserted In the warrant Without authority,
while it was In Hendrlcks's hand, the pre-
sumption is that he caused 1t to be done,
Under these circumstances he had no ~
right or authority TO arrest Hancock than a. )
other private citizen from South Carolina OF
other State would have had. The effect oil
Judge Erskiue's decision, therefore, is that
any man. and especially a man who calls him
self q United States marshal, may without au.
thority of law arrest an innocent citizen any.
" hci g he may find him. The courts, when
appealed 10, may take said citizen ont OF the
the hands OF the arresting party and out oi
Jail, but the Judge will neither allow the State
authorities to hold or punish him, or to carry
the case by appeal to higher tribunal, where,
1t Is fair 10 presume, there are more brains, II
not more honesty.

accident there. We copy further particulars
from the Chattanooga Herald:
On Saturday afternoon a young son of Mr.. ].

three or four other boys went to a bureau draw
or in search Of church key Aside from other
articles, the drawer contained number of KEYS,
and an old pistol supposed to be unloaded The
pistol is self-cocking, has barrel perhaps seven
inches in length, and bears the imprint ALLEN,
Thurber & Co..
In searching for the key, the son of Mr.. Nor
rlson took the pistol in his hand. and inadver-
family pressed his finger upon the trigger. An
explosion followed; the charge passed through
the drawer, and piercing the body of Johnny
Divine, buried itself in the open hall-door The
injury was an inch or two below the left minnie
The lad was soon af.er removed to his own
nome, where he has remained up to late hour
last night ina precariOus condition At eleven
Q CLOCK we found him, as Drs Sims and Hamil-
ton sand, as well as could be expected with a
person so injured. During the day the SYM.
toms mad been unfavorable, and the chances
seemed very much against his recovery. We
sincerely Sympathise with both families in so
sudden and strange calamity. 1t is a sad lesson
OF caution against parents allowing weapons to
lie within the reach of children. The bows were
of near the same age, (about eleven yearS). and
for long time have been playmates both at and
away from school.

that prices must decline as the crop comes in.
