THE JUBILEE.

BosToN, June 29.-This, the twelfth
iay of the Jubilee, has been one of the
most successful of the course OF con-
certs, being the benefit day Of Mr.. P.
S. Gilmore.
At noon one of the most interesting
events of the Jubilee took place. The
leading artists, Nine. Leutner, Arabella
Goddard, Nine. Rudersdorf, and Herr
Strauss, together with the leaders OF
the foreign bands and other notables,
were introduced to the representatives
of the press at the press headquarters.
Each in turn, on being presented, made
a brief speech in his or her native
tongue, and an hour was given to con.
versation. All Joined with the press
men in singing Should Auld Acquaint'
ance be Forgot" the leaders OF the for
eign bands clasping hands together
during the performance.
The French band bore off the hon
ors of the days concert, though all the
lands were received with great enthusi-
ssm. The French organization was
recalled four times, and responded at
last with Marseilles. Gilmore's band
was heartily received and encored, al
thongh it is not contended that their
playing bears a favorable comparison
with that of foreign bands. Their per
formance, however, was very good, and
stamps the hand that so long has been
disciplined and led by the proprietor OF
the Jubilee, as one of the best In the
country.
The Coliseum was packed in every
part, and it is estimated that Mr.. Gill
more realized the sum of $4,000 from
his benefit.
No concert will be given tomorrow.
Tn, usual evening performance took
place tonight The Irish band will
probably arrive here on Tuesday, and a
telegram has been received from New
York announcing that Horace Greeley
will be here on the same day.

A Pertinent Inquiry.

When the friends of Governor Jacob
saw that the Convention was packed
or full of corruption why did they
not rise on the Convention floor and
expose it, and then withdraw Why
did they remain in such a corrupt
assembly and assist in placing the
other names upon the State ticket =?
If the Convention was honest enough
to nominate the rest OF the ticket
why could it not nominate a
candidate for Governor? These
are questions that we would like to
have answered. If Governor Jacobs
friends had withdrawn from the Con-
vention, allegingit to have been corrupt,
there would be some proprlety in bring
ing him out now as an independent
candidate. But under existing circum-
stances it is all wrong, and the attempt
to thus break up our party should be
discountenanced and trowned down by
every good citizen who is opposed 10
Radicalism, and has the welfare OF his
State at heart. Jacobs announcement
makesits first appearance IN a Radical
newspaper, and the whole thing is
heartily endorsed by the Radical party.
The question now is, Jacob and Radi-
cslism, or Camden aud Democracy

A MisStatement.

% ''. - WASHINGTON, June ~.
The paragraph sent hence several
days since, to the effect that the Conn
missioner of Internal Revenue had de-
clined to go to law to decide the legality
of the tax assessed on the scrip divi-

becomes the duty of the Assessor to
make the assessment of the tax, which
the Col 'ector, under the law, ls bound
to collect by distraint on the property
of the com pany, without going to law,
which would so long delay the coilec-
ton of the tax. The action of the
Commissioner is based upon section
of the internal revenue law, which he
believes to be too plain to be mlsunder.
stood. Instructions have been issued
by the Commissioner to the Assessor 10

and to collect the same before 1t Is
barred by the statute Of limitation.
This includes the income returns, as
well as the tax on the interest on the

ties from whom such assessments are
collected, is to bring suit against the
Commissioner for the recovery of such
moneys, and thereby test the constltn'
tionality of his decision.

An Editorial Fracas-West Virginia
Editors on the War Path.

A correspondent of the Parkersburg
Times and Gazette says:
From an eyewitness, we learn that
a fight with pistols and other weapons,
occurred in Union, Monroe county, on
Saturday morning at o'clock, between
Richard Burke, editor of the Monroe
County Register, and Elbert Fowler, of
the Border Watchman. The Sight was
brought on by challenge cent on the
previous day from Fowler to Burke
Fowler fired from behind the columns
OF the Court House portico until Burke
exhausted his weapon, and then
in the open street fred five shots at his
opponent at close range. Fortunately
none of the shots hit, but in the closing
struggle, before the parties were sepa.
rated, Fowlers countenance was much
disfgured by the fists Of his antagonist.
This unfortunate affair was caused by
bitter personal articles previously pub
liahed on both sides. The facts above
detailed are in accordance with the
testimony subsequently taken before the
acting magistrate, who arrested the
combatants. Both were bound in
heavy bonds to keep the peace and to
answer indictments before the Grand
jury of the county"

GREELEY AT BALTIMORE
The Democratic Convention and
the Cincinnati Ticket.

New YORK, June GA Times spe-
cial from Washington says there is
knowledge of characteristic develop
ment between Greeley and the Demo
Gratis. 1t is said that in return for an
Endorsement of Greeley at Baltimore,
the latter and his supporters shall in
every way assist the Democratic candi-
dates for Congress and the State Legis-
latures, and the Democrats thus expect
to have majority in the next House
and large gain in the Senate.
The New York Tribune this morning
publishes an editorial on the Baltimore
outlook. 1t says the whole number Of
votes in the Baltimore Convention is
fixed at 732, or twice that of the whole
vote of the Electoral College. Two
thirds OF the vote Of the Convention
will be 4SS, 80 that the Liberal element
already directed to Baltimore will have
l32 votes more than two-thirds. 1t is
pretty clear that the Liberal programme
will be adopted on the first ballot.
The States yet to be heard from will
undoubtedly augment this Liberal
strength.
The Tribune says elsewhere that the
young and generous Democracy of the
West have spoken in their State Con-
ventions in Springfield, indianapolis
and Cleveland in language which ought
to fill with hope and courage every one
wishing well to his country.

How He Nominates Himself.

The Wheeling LntelEgsncsr, the organ
of Governor Jacob, tells US that gen.
tleman lately carried from Lewis county
to the city of Wheeling a letter from
Democrats of that county requesting
the Governor to be a candidate for re-
election"
Were not signatures to that letter
procured by a gentleman appointed to
place by the Governor Was not that
letter carried to Wheeling and delivered
to Governor Jacob by gentlemen who
was appointed to place by him2
The provision of the Constitution
which prohibits Governor from re-elec
ton for term Immediately succeeding
that of his service, is wise. Its applica'
ton in the Democratic nomination for
the next Governor seems to be far more
important than was deemed by those of
us who heretofore supposed the present
incumbent Of that high office to be an
honorable man and upright magistrate.

Cold Comfort for Jacob.

Cold Comfort for Jacob.
Jacob has thrown aside past associa-
tons, is an apostate to the party and
principles that has conferred upon him
all the honors and distinctions to which
he is to-day entitled, and this in the
interests of a sect that has waged a
merciless war upon us, our rights lib
critics, and even our lives. When this
is considered, and that long line OF
tyranny and oppression that was
heaped upon us by the par
ty whose standard he is to-
day carrying, will the people support
him2 We believe not-we know not.
Where does he expect his support ?
Not from the Democrats, for they will
abide by and sustain the regular nomi-
nee. It must be, then, from the Repub-
licans, who are now opposed to and
using all possible means, not only TO
defeat US, but the new Constitution, that
has cost thousands of dollars and Is OF
such vital importance to the Democratic
party. The question is, will there any
respectable portion Of the Democracy be
gulled by this fiimsy trick? We be-
lieve not, for surely the same patriotism
that actuated our grand old party in
times past will yet sustain US, and con
vince "bolters" and those who are will
ing to sell their birth right for "mess
of pottage," that their days are num-
bered, and that in the past that doom
that was meted out to Aaron Burr will
oyertake them.

THE LABOR STRIKES.
Eight Va. Ten Hours WOrk-Prob
able Termination Of the Strikes.

New YORK, June 29.-The strikes
in this city have almost reached a ter
minstion. The workingmen, with few
exceptions, are seeking to return to the
shops, and the only activity manifested
is on the side of the employers.
The employers in the stone cutting
trade, a majority of whom have granted
the eight hours to the strikers, have
resolved to join the Grand Association
of Employers, and will probably resume
ten hours.
In the furniture trade most of the
men are working ten hours. A num-
her of marble shops have re,opened on
the ten hour system. The whole Of the
carpenter trade will probably resume
ten hours many of the bosses have done
SO already.
The Eight Hour League yesterday
made preparations to unite In the
Worklngmen's parade, August lst,
There is nothing new with regard 70
the strike of the packing box makers

suading employers to acoede already

day, one of which proved fatal.
VaImazeda Resigned.
A Herald special from Madrid says
that the resignation of Valmazeda has
been accepted by the Spanish Govern
ment, but his successor has not yet
been appointed. 1t is understood
that that post will be kept open for
General Cardoba, Minister of War and
a Radical. The Captain General of
Poto Rico has also been recalled, and
General Latore, Liberalist, appointed
in his place.
The Strikes.
The strikers today entered upon the
ninth week of the strikes. The record
of the past week has not been calculated
to encourage them. Both men and
employers are anxious for a compromise
on fair and honorable terms, and it Is
believed that the close OF the present
week will see the end OF the trouble.
The master marble cutters resume the
ten hour hour system. The packing
box makers strike for higher wages
has been successful. The bakers strike
for an increase OF wages and shorter
hours will probably take place at the
beginning of the week. Several strikers
were sent 10 prison yesterday for as

Pittsburgh, Lieutenant Commander
MCGOWAN, Prof. Baird, Of Chicago, and
many other celebrities.

William R. Barr, the well known
Passenger Agent of the Erie railroad
having resigned, has been succeeded

Abbott has acted for many years as
Mr.. Bars Assistant, and is one of the
most esteemed and thorough going busi-
ness men connected with the road. His
appointment to so important q position
gives general satisfaction.

A Political Crisis Anticipated.

PARIS, June 29.-Serious political
symptoms are again becoming manifest
IN the Assembly, and it is not improba-
bic that a Cabinet crisis may shortly
occur.
The Right have resolved on adopting
active opposition to the Government.
The Conservatives have determined
to support Mcmahon for the office
of Chief Executive, in the event of
Theirs carrying out his threat OF resig-
nation or being compelled to resign by
the exigenGies of the political situation.
The Committee on the Budget has
appointed Pierre Magne, the well known
lmperialist and formerly Minister OF
Finance under Napoleon, to the posi-
ton Of reporter to the committee. The
appointment causes considerable am
noysnce to the leading bankers and
hnsnciers, who view it as highly antag-
onistic to the interests Of the republic,
and as fresh step toward imperialism.
