In the Convention of the Fredericksburg
Congressional district to nominate Con-
sentative candidate, the Conservative vote in
the gubernatorial election was adopted as
the basis of representation. If the adoption
of that basis in the Convention of the Lynch
burg district does not satisfy those who OBJ
ject to it, the course pursued In the Fred
ericksburg Convention ought to do 50. Ger
tainly the act of one or the other, il not both,
is an answer to their only even plausible
argument

and bypocritcs of carpet-basgsfs who hoped
t,,t by filling the negro MIND With Flho'c

the whites, they could get poS5eSSl'''f 'n'
State governments and rob and stcs'l IL '.st'

This will be tile best thing In the "oi,"

white man, who is his neighbcr, who OWL

profit is il to tho black man to become tho
enemy of this employer?
II is not, indeed Il proof Of hostility that Il
negro takes different view of things IRON
a white man but it is al evidence OF hos
tility when al the negroes array themselves
against the white people amongst whom
they live. it is impossible that they can all
think alike. Then they must be held to-
gctlcr by hate Of the white man or by the
fear and the peril OF differing from the
leagues which dictate their course. III
neither case can such Il state of hostility OF
race lie maintained consistently with the
public security and contcntment of the conf
munity. Sooner or later the negro will tnd
this out We hope the election of GREELEY
will libcrlte negroes from slavery to the
leagues and the interruptions and sordld
whites to whose voice they have been and
arc yet obcdient.
This will be as much for their good az fer
the good of the whites. Hostile races carl
live in the same community long. Their
mutual safety and happiness will demand Il
separation.

Application for = Stay ofProccedings-Ar- Of
gumcnt Upon tho Application TO Be
Hoard To-day, Before Judge Fancher,
1T Supreme Court, Cha ambers.
The application was made yesterday, before
Judge Fancher, holding Supreme Court, Chambers,
by Mr.. Charles s. Spencer, for q stay OF proceed
ings In the case Of Henry Rogers, convicted in
Kings county of the murder OF Policeman Donohue
OF Brooklyn and sentenced to be hanged on Friday
next.
Mr.. Britton, the District Attorney for Kings
county, objected that this application had already
been heard eXhaustively by Justice Gilbert, In
Kings county, before whom the trial took place,
and denied and without saying that it was strictly
law he insisted that as a matter of courtesy the
judges OF that district should first be applied to.
Mr. Spencer urged that the Court should at once
hear 1t and give 1t preference all other bus
ness. He had argued the motion In the first place
before Judge Gilbert out OF courtesy TO him. since
he had tried 1t, but, OF course, 1t was appealing
from Cesar 10 Cesar, and he was entitled In such
matter to go RON judge to Judge till he had ap-
piled to every one Of the thirty judges In the
State.
Judge Fancher thought he ought to apply first
to the judges OF the Second district but promised
II he failed there, to hear him next Monday.
Mr.. Spencer insisted that he should be heard be-
fore him, and begged him, in view OF the shortness
of Rogers time, to hear him earlier.
Judge Fancher finally consented to hear him at
one p. M. to-day.

Counscps Once on Wcdncsday-Its
Action.
One Of the evening papers on Wednesday pub
lished an account Of a conference OF directors OF
the Atlantic and Great Western and the Erie Rail-
way Companies, in which assertions Of a sensa-
tional character were made In reference to the
possible foreclosure OF certain mortgages against
Of the corporations interested. Tnc counsel OF
the Erie Company makes the following statement
OF the object, character and doings Of the meeting
referred to-
In the year 1859 the Atlantic and Great Western
Railroad, ~ may be remembered was leased to the
Erie Company. Ia WTi IL was sold to new COM
pany on foreclosure that was made upon ir. The
lease OF the Eric Company then expired. But the
new company which then owned the Atlantic and
Great western line asse rted claim Of about
one million seven hundred thousand dollars against
the Erie Company. The latter acknowledged their
Indebtedness 10 the extent or about nine hundred
thousand dollars and subsequently discharged 1t
by the transfer OF supplies to the Atlantic and Great
western and paid besides about two hundred
thousand dollars. The original suit instituted
in Ohio was, however, continued against the Erie
Company Tor the remainder OF the claim-nO part
winch IL st N = nrouress and has been
In the State OF Onio by lawyers resident there. A
few weeks ago 1t was suggested that there be some
peaceful settlement OF the difficulty, and accord
ingy committee was appointed, composed Of
representatives OF both companies. They held a
meeting on Wednesday, at the o1ice OF Mr. Barlow,
as which no action was taken OF the character
stated by the evening press They heard both sides
of the question from the counsel OF both companies
and closed their proceedings by appointing o SUBJ
committee to take their arguments into considera-
ton and to report. The members OF this new COM
mittee are Ex-Governor Morgan, Mr. John Taylor
Johnston and Mr.. Watson from the Erie Company,
and General Mcclellan, Mr.. Hewitt and Mr.. Aspn-

believed to have caused his death. The chemical
analysis was duly made, and the Professor

at what they considered most outrageous charge.

half the sum $3.50, for the payment Of which

THE ALLEGED FoRGER NooNAN.

An ExtraditiOn Cause.-The Charge
Against Denis NOOnan-Non-Arriya Of
the DcpOsitions-The Case Again Ad-
journed.
Denis Noonan, who is charged with having COM
mitted forgery at Charlevile, county or Cork,
Ireland, and who Is now six weeks in prison, was
brought before Commissioner Osborn yesterday to
be examined under the extradition treaty with
England. Counsel for the British government, Mr..
Marbury, informed the Commissioner that the pa
pers in the case had been forwarded nom
Dublin on the 14th inst, and were to
have been despatched from Queenstown by
the steamer City OF Brooklyn, but as that
vessel had to put back disabled the mails were
transferred to another vessel and this caused their
non-arrlval. He, therefore, asked a p0stp0nement
OF the examination for few days longer. Counsel
for the defence complained that Noonan had now
been six weeks In prison awaiting his examination,
