ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2l.-The Democrat has
a special from Olney, ILL.,, which says that
on Saturday last Jefferson White and Henry
HOultz had some words while working at
threshing machine near that place. White
went to his house, quarter of a mile DIS
tant, got bis gun, returned and shot Houltz
IN the abdomen, just as he was mounting
his horse TO leave the place. He died in q
few moments. Houltzs wife was so terri
bly, shocked at the event that she gave pre-
mature birth TO dead twins on Monday
morning, and died herself Monday night.
White gave himself up Saturday evening.
Intense excitement prevailed in the neigh
borhood on Sunday and Monday, and about
one O'Clock Tuesday morning a large crowd
of men broke open the jail, took White out
and hung him to tree in the courthouse

CRIME In THE WEST.
Attrocious wholesale Murder.

AttrOcfOus wholesale MURDER.
MARYvILLE, No., Aug. 21.-An aGLro.
cious murder was brought to light yester-
day, by the arrest of man named Osborne,
at Clearmont, small town II miles north
west of here. 1t appears that Osborne was
travelling with team and a covered wagon.
He stopped for some purpose, when some
men were attracted to the wagon by stencil
proceeding from it.
Upon examination, FIVE dead bodies were
found Osborne col f4ssed at the end
of rope that the murders were comnitte d
by one Williams, near Holton, Kansas, and
That he, Osborne, was employed to take
the bodies out of the way. He confessed
to having travelled with this terrible load
five days.
From memorandum found on the body
of one of the victims, it is inferred they were
party of movers, consisting of Mr.. Oms,
wife and two children, and young man by
the name of Dickinson, supposed to be a
brother of Mrs. Oms. They had travelled
from Minnesota to southern Kansas, and
were probably on their way to Nebraska.
The last memoranda by the young man was
at or near Holton. The Coroner held an
inquest yesterday, and the bodies were
buried at Clermont. Sheriff WreY has just
returned, and says, though he saw the pris-
oner, the people would not give him up.
Probably Osborne will be lost somewhere
In that vicinity.

dent at this late day to nominate candi-
dates TO I'LL the vacancies caused by the I'M
expected withdrawal of David Davis and
Joel Parker, and that as the Labor Reform
ers viii not be represented at the coming

selves to be most in sympathy with the
principles of labor reform, and recommend
ing the maintenance of their distinct Or

Hugh Cameron, of Kansas as minority OF
the committee, submitted resolutions in
effect declaring it to be the duty Of the
Labor Reformers to abide by the decision
of the Cincinnati and Baltimore CONVEX
tons and to support Greeley and Brown.
After lively discussion, the majority re-
port was adopted, only Mr.. Cameron vot-
ing against it.
A letter was read from Henry Beeney,
Secretary of the Land Reform Association
of New York, declaring that the Interior
Department und-r Grant, had squandered
millions of acres of the public lands, thus
proving them to be no friend to the labor
ing men, and that as between Greeley and

for the former as he is most likely to ad-
vance tte interests of labor and laborers.
Letters was placed on file.

THE BELFAST RIOTS.

I'll Going ON.
The Streets PatrOlled by the Military
Public Buildings Strongly Guarded.
schools all Closed.

LONDON, Aug. 2l.-Dlspatches from
Belfast of last evening says that the city is
quieter, though the rioting has not ended.
The prisoners captured by civil and mill
tary authorities were conveyed to the jail,
under strong escort of troops. No de-
monstrations towards rescue were made
The municipal buildings are strongly tuard-
ed, and the streets patroled by the cavalry.
A dispatch from Belfast of this morning
says that during the rio:ing yesterday, a
policeman named Moore, was shot and kill
ed. A number Of other cssua ties are re-
ported. The mob, when not engaged in
wrecking houses, assaulted individuals,
and shamefuIly treated many, including
Benign, editor of the Northern Star, a
Catholic Journal.
AL of the schools and most Of the mills
are closed: Nine magistrates are now on
duty. Although the streets were patrolled
last evening by the military, crowds col
lected and excitement and rioting con-
tinued. Thirty rioters were arrested yes
terday and lodged in prison. At midnight
the city was comparatively quiet, though
occasional shots were heard. It's reported
that several personal encounters between
rioters and special constables occurred.
Lafer-AHaiEs worse than Ever.
BELFAST, Aug. q, Evening.-Hopes of
the restoration of quiet which were excited
yesterday by the rather more peaceful state
of affairs, have not been realized. The
condition, as shown by reports received at
headquarters, was worse than ever last
night. The authorities are powerless
against depredations, though supported by
an armed force of fully five thousand men.
The school-houses have been destroyed,
and it is with the utmost difficulty that
some churches were preserved from shar-
ing their fate. Grave Encouragement on
the part of the authorities is suspected, and
the general dissatisfaction is so great that
respectable citizens intend forming vigi-
lance committees for the arrest and sum-
mary punishment of offenders.

By NAIL OF AT THE B1ar1v q s,vwr,
THE ooxvExYIOH rEsrEEDAx.

WE publish to-day the proceedings of the
convention which assembled yesterday TO
nominate candidate for Congress and an
elector for the State at large. We shall
not attempt to disguise our regret that ex-
President johnson is not the norinee of
the convention. None deny the personal
worth of Gen. Cheatham, hut there
seemed to us, and as we believed to ma
jority of the Democracy of Tennessee, a Pc
caliar fitness in the selection OF x-Presi-
dent johnson at tbs time, both because of
his great s6ility and his loyalty to the
Union during the war. For the sake of
that organization for which the UNION AND
AMERICAN has so long commended, we bow
to the expressed win Of the Convention.
Ex-senator Fowler who was selected as
the Elector for the State at large
is Liberal Republican, He was a men,
Der of the Cincinnati Convention which
nominated Greeley and Brown, and is a
member of the National Committee of the
Liberal Republican party. With the excep.
ton of ex-President johnson, he is the best
posted politician in the State, and win be
found fully able to thoroughly expose the
adaptations and conceptions of the Grant
administration. He is now absent from
the State, but will return in few days to
elter upon the active duties of the cam
paign.

EIe Thanks the Press.
DR.. Howard who has returned from Span
ish Imprisonment attributes his release to
the efforts of the American press to which
he returns his Warmest thanks.
What the Government Might Have
Dcus.
He thinks that Secretary Fish might have
acted more promptly; and that the Govern
ment, with all the proofs before it that he
was an American citizen, might have abb
breviated, or at least alleyiated his suffer
ings.
viii Present His Claim.
DR.. Howard viii go to Washington in a
day or two and present his claim, which Is
for pretty round sum, including the loss
of his medical business at Cienfuegos and
his property. The latter is valued at $780,,
600. he will not return TO Cuba.
How He was Treated.
Howard says he was loaded with chains
on board the transport ship and lodged in
the hold, and when he wanted water had
to go on deck, dragging the chains behind
him. These exertions and bad food gave
him the dyseDtery. The commandant of
the prison at Cadiz was brute aud thief.
Some of the prisoners there actually died
from eating the food. Howard had to pro-
cure food from the outside, for which the
commandment charged double. No other
prisoners were allowed to converse with
Howard. No letters or papers were allowed
to reach him, while filth and vermin were
terrible. Again sick, the commandant re-
fused to allow his removal from the hospit-
al, which was only secured by the efforts Of
Consul Duffy.
