NEW YORK.

New York, June l3.-The piano-forte
manufacturers met yesterday and unan'
imously adopted resolutions refusing to
acceed to the demands of the strikers,
The Iron and Metal Workers League
strike to-day for eight hours. The jour
neymen butchers, German fnrriers and
blank-book binders are all organizing
for a strike.
The Herald again appears in deepest
mourning to-day, being the occasion of
the funeral of James Gordon Bennett.
The funeral takes place at 1890 am.
A special from London to the Times
says the English Cabinet stands united
in the belief that the treaty is not dead,
but that some method of reconciling the
two governments will yet be reached.
1t is rumored in well-informed circles
that vote Of aswant of confidence in
the government will be moved in the
Commons by either Disraeli or Bouveret,
more probably the latter. Supporters
of the government are confident the mo-
ton could not be carried. 1t is generally
expected the Geneva Board will concede
to the request and adjourn.
A Times special from Lewiston says
that numerous delegates to the Maine
Republican State Convention have ar
rived. Governor Perham will be re-
nominated by reclamation. The PLila-
delphia platform will be Endorsed and
candidates approved.
The Herald editorially discusses the
situation as respects the treaty of Wash
inton, and thinks our representative at
Geneva should be instructed to insist
upon the fulfllmert of the requirements
of the fifth article Of the treaty and the
submission Of the arguments within the
time specified If England refuse our
case should be withdrawn and the treaty
will then fall to the ground, and we be-
lieve both countries will rejoice at its
destruction. Let us wait for more pro-
pitious season and more competent me-
gotiators for renewal Of the effort to
settle the differences.

MEETING ON THE NINETEENTH.

There will be meeting Of the Demo
cratic State Executive Committee in
Nashville at IL o'clock on the morning
of Wednesday, June 18th. Every mem
Der Of the committee is requested to be
present. So says call signed by John
G. Burch. We hope every member Of
the committee will attend, and then-we
cannot say we hope-we should like to
see the committee rise above sectional
influence and nominate a candidate for
the State at large from West Tennessee.
1t is possible, however. that the opposi-
ton on the part Of the other divisions to
West Tennessee might render such a
nomination hazardous In that event, to
insure harmony and assure victory, let
the committee ignore our claims. In
this cad Of the State, while We would
like to have justice for ourselves, We
have no prejudice that would deny it to
others. For the sake Of harmony We
can and viii submit to injustice. If the

GOOD READING.

The Indiana Democracy that assem-
hled in State Convention yesterday a
indianapolis has given the country SOM
good reading. 1t formally Endorsed tn
Liberal proceedings at Cincinnati, anC
made, in the most emphatic manner, thu
aims and objects of the Liberal move
ment its own. Hendricks was nomi
mated for governor and accepted. In hi
response
He asked if the people South, beg
CARED and oppressed, would appeal in
vain to us for political support, and was
answered by a laundering No. DE
referred to the necessity OF civil service
reform, and trusted that the party now
seeking cooperation with the Demo
cratic party would be able TO achieve 1t.
Referring to the coming convention at
Baltimore, he said he thought this con-
vention foreshadowed the result of that,
TO the result of which he had pledged
his support He was not afraid of the
one-man power, but he was afraid of the
rings by which Grant was surrounded,
and the question was not as to the con-
tinuance OF Grant in power, but the con-
tinuance Of the corrupt rings by which
he was governed. In conclusion, he
promised to do all he could to insure the
success of the ticket. As the. State
went in October, it would go in Novem-
Der. We have turned our backs on the
past; we stand in the present and look
to the future; the past is lost to US, the
future is ours; let US make of it glori-
Gus one.
The first resolution adopted by the
Convention is in these words:
Resolved, by the Democracy of Indi-
ana in Convention assembled, That the
principles of the Cincinnati Liberal Re-
publican Convention, taken in connec-
ton with the proposition contained in
Horace Greeley's letter accepting the
nomination of that Convention, consti-
tute platform on which all the elements
of opposition to the present corrupt ad-
ministration of the Federal Government
can stand
After quoting the Cincinnati platform,
the following resolution occurs:
Resolved, That we regard it as unwise
and imprudent to place two tickets in
nomination for the Office of President
aud Vice President with the representa-
tives of these principles, as the division
of its friends would insure the defeat Of
both; and it is therefore the fixed con-
viction Of this convention that the
Democratic Convention to assemble in
Baltimore in July should adopt the
nominees Of the Liberal Republican
Convention, instead of making other
nominations for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of the United States.
Indiana renders it impossible for the
Baltimore Convention to place Demo
cratic candidate in the field. As the
Democracy of Tennessee, New York,
Indiana and Pennsylvania think, so
think the Democracy of all the States
They want no candidate from their own
ranks. The plowman in the field seems
to have more good sense in reference to
the situation than some Of the loud poll
ticians. Taking common sense view
of it, he sees how Grant can be beaten,
and how he cannot He sees that Gree
ley can clio it, and that q Democrat
cannot

The friends of Mr.. Allison in this city arc

pathway those whom fate enlists beneath the
radiant banners of Venus. Mr.. Allison is a
well-known merchant of Memphis, of the
firm Of Allison Brothers, and the charming
bride is one Of Nashville's beautiful bellies
Such an union gives promise Of prosperity and
happiness, as the twain drift adown life's gem

blossoms, and waited onward by zepbyrs that
enkinde in their minds the gentle inspira-
lions Of loves young dream.

SOMETHING USEFUL.

The Boston Globe says the great fea-
ture of the Agricultural Congress at st.
Louis "and the one which in our esti-
nation is destined to produce the largest
practical results, was an address by
Lieutenant M. F. Maury on the means
that should be adopted for predicting
the seasons, All countries and all
classes should cooperate in general
and systematic course of observations
ON sea and land, so as to foretell the sea-
sons, and to enable farmers to prepare
their crops accordingly" The Globe
adds: "If there is one department of
human industry more than another
which needs the aids of modern culture
and development, and which is really
more behind the times than another, it
is that of farming"

An accident happened about o'clock

GATH, of the Chicago Tribune, says Of
the Grant Philadelphia Convention:
Nothing was more conspicuous at the
end of this Convention than the enor-
nous number of carpetbags seen moving
toward the railroad depots in a southerly
direction. Their bills had been paid, it
is to be hoped, and the country has
entered upon the sober, solemn and
miserable work and endeavor to elect
man who is only backed up by the
stolidity of the Republic, but has not
one partical of sympathy among the
leaders of opinion.
