1t is announced that Hon. George W. Julian

Wayne county, Ind, to the Cincinnati Con
ventiOn This announcement will be amusing
To those who are acquainted with the Hon.
George as a sixteen years barnacle in Con
gresS, and played out Republican politician,
who has been but recently laid upon the shelf
by a constituency to whom his miserable dem
agogism and political imbecility had become
intOlerable. The Liberals have now, with
eminent propriety, taken up this old political
hack and prince of soreheads rs a tit repre-
sentative of no-principles. Mr. Julian is an
excellent specimen Of the component parts Of
the organization that will 60 anything to
beat Grant, and at the same time, lay to.
with eager lips, To draft the public udder
Geo. Julian's Congressional record is one
Of which every American should feel proud.
His speeches, votes and influence on the
land question, alone, entitle him to ma
tons gratitude. The cry OF demagogue
falls powerless when applied to such man.
The land grabbers and thieves in and out of
Congress certainly didn't think him one,
when they found that neither their brides,
Establishments nor threats could move him
hairs breadth from the path Of duty.
However, he doubtless esteems it a compli-

copies of the ADVOCATE will be sent week

receive it, so that two copies will be availa

confirms the charge we made some weeks
since that the ignorance Of the religious
press, in dealing with the Labor Move
ment, is only equaled by its mamonized
servility. The production Of such rubbish
by a school boy should subject him to 10
nominious dismissal. In our next we pro-
pose to show these clerical scandaIizers and
ignoramuses up in their true light.

NEW YORK, April B. At meeting Of del
egations to the Columbus Labor Reform -
! Convention from the States of New York,
Massachusetts,, New Hamphire and COnnecti-
cut, held this morning, resolutions were
adopted denouncing the vaclllatlng course Of
the committee, who were to tender nomlna-
lions to the nominees for President and Vice
President. The committee, 1t seeIas, has not
yet made the tender Of nomination to Parker.
who has been ready. upon the notification Of
the committee, to present his views at length.
1t is said that Parker indorses the platform
entire, and would accept nomination on con
dition that the National Democratic Cnnven-
ton would indOrse him. The above delegations
refuse tn send their representatives to the
meeting Of the National Executive Committee,
which has been called by the chairman. to
meet at Cincinnati. April p. They claim
that the whole action il sell, and say
they will not lend themselves to 1t nor con

Letters have been received from delegations in
other States and from Presidents Of the State
Labor Unions Of Pennsylvania and Tennessee
indorsing their cause. Influential members Of
these delegations privately express the opinion
that the whole Labor Reform" movement
50 far rs a National ticket is concerned, will
be quietly dropped out.
The gusto with which such statements as
the above are regarded by the Administra-
ton press is shown by the avidity which
gives publicity to the croakings Of half
dozen madcaps. Their dirty work, however,
injuries nobody but themselves. Their mo
tives and objects are known. We make
bold to say that no delegate to the Column
bus Convention either from New. Hamp-
shire or Massachusetts, was present at the
meeting, and we have pretty good idea
that Horace H. Day and Co. formed the
majority Of the New York members.
Taken altogether, it is safe to say the con
ference was composed Of soreheads
who didn't, and cannot represent 500
votes. If they are what they profess
to be, Labor Resormers, they would he en-

and every friend of the Labor Movement

body cares for him. If he has nothing bet
ter to do than belittle the Labor Movement

voted his life, his actions prove he must

of the Annual Baltimore Conference of the
Methodist church visited the President to-
day. In responding to their address, the
President said that no one except them
selves could be more gratified than he was
that four millions of persons who had been
held in bondage and disposed of as chattels
were now free to think for themselves and
worship God as they thought proper, and
that civil rights for all were fast becoming
recognized throughout the land. 1t might
be some little time before they would enjoy
all the rights which belong to citizens, but
that day was surely coming, and he hoped
it might come speedily.
In conclusion, he thanked them for the
call and the expression of their good will.

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Important Gases Decided.-Roussel VS..
the Albemarle Insurance company. This
was an action of assumpsa, instituted in
the Corporat.ol court of Norfolk by the
appellant agai st the appellee, on policy
OF insurance e1t.inst loss by fire. The de-
claratlon set out the policy in erfenso,
avowed the destruction by fire of the
premises insured, and claimed of the de-
1endant 81 600, the amount of the insur-
ance. The claim was resisted solely on the
ground that the plaintiff had himself burned
the premises, or caused them to be burned.
In the progress of the trial the court gave
to the jury several instructions without ex-
ceptlon thereto on either side, and the evil
dence having been fully heard, the jury
rendered verdict for the defendant and
thereupon the plaintiff moved the court to
set aside the verdict and grant him new
trial, upon the ground that the verdict was
contrary to the law and the evidence.
This motion was overruled by the court
below, and appeal was taken to this court.

court: "The judgment must appear to be
palpably erroneous, or the verdict of a /

holders.--The stockholders of the Virginia
Steamship and Packet company met at the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Presi-
dent Burr made a most gratifying report OF
the affairs OF, the company. The line has
been in operation about eighteen months,
and the people of Richmond had become
conscious of the fact that it had afforded
them great advantages. AS an evidence Of
this fact he read comparative statement
OF rates of freights charged now on some OF
the principal articles shipped, and those
charged before the line went into
operation, showing an actual saving to
the merchants and people of Richmond Of
$125,000. The stock in the company has
besides paid handsome dividends to the
holders. Mr.. Burr gave satisfactory ac-
count of the progress made in the construc-
ton Of the new iron steamship at Rockets,
and it was resolved that the next meeting
of the stockholders be held on board the
new ship next month, on such day and at
such hour as the president and board of
directors may designate. 2 syaa s.
