sswHY THIS THUsNEss.,

When the Democratic Executive Com
mittee issued a call for a convention to be
held here on the 9th of May, the Nashville
Banner was furnished with copy Of the

of it, having mutilated it by cutting off the
Introductory and concluding remarks Of
the committee. Yesterday the BGlnerpub-

an action for libel in the Superior Court of
Baltimore City. The summons is return

The Battle of DOrkfng.

LONDON, April IA grand military re-
view took place at Brighton yesterday and
was rendered more than usually interesting
by a rehearsal of the battle Of DOrking.
The troops in the field including some 90
600 volunteers were divided into two ar
mics, one of invasion and another Of de-
Tense. TIN enemy was supposed to have
effected a landing in Shoreham harbor.
The movement commenced with an attack
on the village and its capture after AL OBJ
stinate resistance. The invaders then adj
vanced on Brighton and after repulsing
the body of the troops took up
a defensive position The army OF
defence being largely reinforced, took the
offensive under Gen. Horsford, and attack
ed the invaders with success, although the
latter broke through Horsford's right cen
ter and created great confusion for while.
The firing ceased at one o'clock, both sides
having been impartislly beaten. The
mock fight was succeeded by a march past
which was not satisfactory. The review
on the whole is considered failure. The
weather was fine, although there were oc-
casional showers. The trains took down
large numbers of spectators from London.

NO Orders Yet from Washington 20 Act
on Recent CustOmhOuse Develop
ments.
NEW YORK, April although the
number Of indictments by the United States
Grand Jury for whisky and other frauds was
estimated yesterday at about one hundred,
there were in reality only fifteen or eighteen
indictments, but many of those included the
names of several persons, so that the in
dicted parties viii perhaps amount to eighty
in ali. Among the number is Judge Pratt,
of Brooklyn, who held the coleCtOrship of
internal revenue in 1867 and 1868, but
Judge Davis, the District Attorney, thinks
the Indictment against him was found I'M
der a total misapprehensiOn Of the facts.
In conversation with a reporter yesteT-
day, DeKay, a clerk in The District Attor-
news office, whose appointment is due to
Gen. Butler and who is specially instructed
in this branch Of t&e District Attorneys
office, said, replying TO all interTogatOry
whether the grand jury had investigated
any of the recent custom house frauds, that
it was a question whether any custom
house frauds had recently been exposed by
the investigating committee, and no il
structions had been sent from Washington
to investigate Custom-hOuse bribery cases.
No prominent persons are mentioned in
the list of names, most Of the parties being
subordinate ex-Revenue officers and dealers
in whisky. The indictments are based
principally on affidavits made III 1866.
On this account, and also by reason Of the
lapse of time, it is thought many Of them
will be quashed at the outset.
1t is proposed on the part Of the govern
ment to make a test case Of that one in
which the evidence is strongest, and be
governed in the others by the results there
in as to continuance of the prosecution. AT
any rate, the trials cannot be reached for
long time, inasmuch as there are at present
four thousand untried cases in the Federal
courts of this city.

THE LETTER.
To Col. William M. Grosvenor, Chairman Of {
Executive Committee of the Liberal Repub
can Convention of Missouri, Washington, d.


To Col. William M. Grosvenor, Chairman Of the
Executive Committee of the Liberal Republic
can Convention Of Missouri, Washington, ID. @.
SIR: We, Republicans of New York, wish
to express our concurrence in the principles
lately set forth by the Liberal Republicans
Of Missouri.
We make this departure from the ordi-
nary methods of party action from deep
conviction thst the organization to which
we belong Is under the control Of those who
will use it chiefly for personal purposes,
and obstruct free expression Of opinion
upon the important matters which the gen.
tlemen whom you represent have laid before
the people of the United States.
We believe that the time has come when
the political offenses of the past should be
pardoned;that all citizens should be protected
in the enjoyment of the rights guaranteed
to them by the Constitution; that Federal
taxation should be imposed for revenue,
and 80 adjusted as to make the burden upon
the industry of the country as light as pos
sible; that a reform in the Civil Service
should be made which will relieve political
action from the influence of official patron
age; that the right of local self government,
the foundation Of American freedom, should
be reasserted, and the encroachments of
Federal power checked; and we also be-
lieve that at this time special duty rests
upon the people to do away with corruption
in Office.
The exposures recently made In this
State have brought to light evils which are
not confined to one party, nor to single To-
cality, and disclose dangers more formida-
Bile than any which the Republic has yet
encountered.
With the hope that the movement begun
in Missouri may spread through all the
States, and influence every political party,
we accept the invitation to meet in Nation
al Mass Convention at the city of Cincin-
natl on the first Wednesday Of May next,
and we invite all Republicans of New York
who agree with US to cooperate in our &C
ton.

LIBERALISM.
New York for the Cincinnati COnEen-
ton.
Call for the Liberal Convention.

Frsm the New York Tribune, March 80.
The letter of certain New York Repub-
licanS to Col. Grosvenor, herewith printed,
is the first unequivocal response from the
East to the overture of the Liberal Repub-
licans of the West for consultation at Gin
cinnati on Wednesday, May 1. Others will
soon follow. There is no longer excuse for
doubt that the Convention will be held, and
that it will be infuentially attended.
We presume that, should any important
action be taken at Cincinnati, those present
from each State would designate a portion
Of their number to cast the vote of that
State in the Convention. But no one is ex-
Guided from attending, and the invitation is
so broad that many will doubtless be pre-
sent who have not been delegated. Cincin-
natl proffers TO all generous welcome.
Whether the convention will determine
to put forth declaration Of principles, to
present National candidates, or adopt some
other form Of appeal to the country, no one
is entitled to forecast. Whatever 1t shall
do or PROFOUND will necessarily derive all
its force from its accord with public senti-
ment. This Convention speaks with no
authority, claims no power but that which
may be accorded to the intrinsic worth Of
its acts and its declarations.

Comments on the Connecticut Election
JEWELS Majority Reduced to 8OI

New YORK, April 2.-The Connecticut
election created but little excitement in the
city last evening. Special dispatches from
that State report it probable that JEWELS
majority over both his opponents will be
two or three hundred, and two thousand
over Hubbard. The vote is five thousand
less than last year. The Labor Reformers
ran much below their computed strength,
but the Temperance ticket ran well.
The World says the Liberal Republicans
did not give much support to the Democ-
racy; that they seemed unwilling to break
with the Grant wing until after the Clncin-
natl Convention.
Later Returns.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, April 2.-The Off
cial returns of the scattering towns will re-
duce JEWELS majority over all, but he is
probably elected by the people. There are
five towns to hear from. The Times figures
Jewell at 232 over all and the Post at about
100

Pretty clean Sweep of st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, April 2.-In the election to-
day for twelve aldermen and eight school
directors, the Democrats made a pretty
clean sweep, electing nine aldermen, the
Republicans one, and two independent.
Of the school directors, there are probably
six Democrats. In the Eighth ward, W.
81. Brooks, colored, received 279 votes.
The council will stand seventeen Demo-
Gratis, four Republicans, and three INDIE
pendents.
Prospects of the May Convention.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Letters received
here within few days from Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin leave no doubt
that large and respectable delegations Of
Liberal Republicans will attend the Cincin-
natl Convention from those States. Hon.
J. B. Grinnell, for many years a Republican
member of Congress from Iowa, will head
the delegation from that State. Hon. Leon
ard SWEET and Hon. Jessie r. Dubois, of
Illinois, who were among the late Presi-
dent Lincoln's earliest friends and sup
pOrters, will be among the delegates from
that State. Virginia and North Carolina
have full delegations; and it is claimed that
the cOlored element in the South will be
fully represented. Many of these letters
spoke of an adherence to Republican prin-
ciples, but an unalterable opposition to
Grant.
