New York Democratic COnventtOn.
UTICA, October 2.-The Democratic State
Convention met at ten o'clock this morning.
The committee on resolutions submitted the
platform, as follows: " NIL y4 ID.
We condemn and denounce the salary
grab, and all congressman, Democratic or
Republican, who voted for it, or who hsve
not renounced all snare in the pluuder
seized for service already done and paid
for. We condemn and denounce the
Presidents signature to the bill, which
clincheG this iniquity, and which gave
$4,000 to each Congressman while
procuring 100000 for himself, after
Congress had just refused to increase his
salary. and we demand its repeal; demand
revenue reform, so that the customhouse
revenue shall be got from low, and therefore
productive duties on a tev articles, not
from high, and therefore less productive
duties on 1000 articles; demand specie pay
ment and that the policy of paper imitation,
protective tariff and government subsidies
shall be abandoned to the half civilized ma.
tlons and ages. of which tits relic, because
it plumbers the farmers of the United States,
both in their incomes and outgoes; it ham
strings our manifold industries; it converts
our foreign commerce into an unsafe posi-.
tion and our domestic trade into game of
chance; it breeds extravaganza in our
homes, and dishonor in public and private
trusts; it fosters corrupt combinations
of sectional interests, and is the prime cause
of the late financial disasters. In the,
midst of these widespread calamities and
this general distress, we scout the Presi-
dents pill for panics, more initiation,
more subsidies, more ballOoning, and We
point the country to Ihem. The true remedy
and cure 10 in the traed and historical prin-
cipIes Of the old Democracy, which is ap-
plicable throughout the nation, and State,
and TO municipal law, which limits and
Localities most jealously the powers in
trusted to public servants; which enforoes
honesty and frugality in public as we'll a.

An ExcitinS scene In Court.

A scene of great excitement occurred in
the Criminal Court at St. Louis ON Monday,
which threatened at one time to be tragical.
Joseph H. Fore, who attempted to kill his
wife on the street with q hatchet on the
fourth of last June, was on trial. Mrs.
Fore had been examined st great length,
and as she retired from the witness stand
and took seat between her father and
Joseph P. Colcord, one of her counsel, her
husband seized a large cut-glass inkstand
from the table and hurled it at her with
great force. The marshal of the court saw
Fore's movement in time to catch his arm,
which changed the direction of the ink
staRd. Instead of striking Mrs. Fore, it
struck Mr.. Colcord ON the forehead. cutting
q cash about two inches long, and nearly
knocking that gentleman senseless. Fore
was Immediately seized by the marshal and
others, and, after struggle, during winch
nearly all his clothes weRe torn Of he Was
taken from the courtrooa and order 70
stored.

Governor Powers, the present executive
Of Mississippi, having failed to obtain re-
nomination of either convention-and he
was not particular which he got-has now
made up his mind to be Governor anyhow.
Since he did not get q nomination, neither
Ames nor Alcorn shall profit by theirs. An
other State incumbent, Attorney General
Morris, has prepared an opinion that no
election can legally be held until Novem-
ber, 1874. This is the authority Governor
Powers wants for his action in trying to
keep himself in Office another year, and he
issues his proclamation accordingly.
The comments of the Mississippi press on
this document are interesting. The jack
son Clarion lDemocratic) calls upon the
State officers to enforce the Governors
proclamation, declaring, with most won
derfli reverence for law, that ''any attempt
to override or set 1t aside will be revolu.
tionary, and will entitle the parties engaged
in such proceeding to the severest and most
summary punishment" .-rr
The independent and plain speaking
vlcksburg Herald likewise Democratic),
declares that Governor Powers proclama-
tion "does not bode any good in the way of
peace and tranquility for our people in the
future. 1t looks very much like we are to
have the Louisiana usurpation over again
without Warmoth's brains, dash and de-
termination to carry us through the contest"
The jackson Pilot, the leading Republican
paper of the State, publishes an exhaustive
article showing that the Governor and his
attorney act very wild in the selfish con-
struction they place upon the law, and calls
upon the registrars to proceed with she
election, regardless of anthing that the
Governor may say or do in the premises.
He has no power to prevent them."
Thus our neighbors are making arrange
ments to have very lively and exciting
contest.

From the Chicago Tribune sentemhe

From the Chicago Tribune, September 3d.
Louise Mnhlbach, one of the most popular
aurhoresses in Germany, whose death was
announced by telegraph yesterday, was
born in 1914, in Neu-Bradenburg, Mechlen-
burg Strelitz, and consequently, at the time
OF her death, was in her fifty-ninth year.
Her father at one time held high position,
city. When she had completed her educa-
ton she went to Italy as travelling com.
panion to German lady, and on their way
Clara Miller. that being her real name, be-
came acquainted with Theodore Mundt. a
rising young author, who belonged to the
"Young German" party, and, after two
years. they were married aud settled in
Berlin. When her husband was appointed
professor of arts and sciences in the Bres-
lau University, they removed TO that city,
but subsequently, returned to Berlin again,
which has ever since been the family home.
Their life for time was very happy. They
had two daughters, one of whom, Theodore,
became an actress, the otl1er, Theresa, fol-
lowing in the steps of her mother.
In 1861. her husband died insane. The
blow was terrible one, and Frau Mundt
sought consolation in literary labor. Under
the nom de plume of Louise Muhlbach she
published many works, and her name soon
became famous, and her home the resort of
the literary celebrities of Berlin. Her frs
novel was "A Romance in Berlin" which
was followed Blythe Last Days Of Katha-
rine," "The Daughter Of the Empress"
''Court Stories" Justice" Johann Got
lawski" Frederick the Great and His
Court" Berlin and Sans Souci, emperor
Joseph aud His Court" "Queen HOrtense."
''Archduke John and His Times" "Napo-
leon and Germany" 1.-The Great Elector
and His Times" emperor Alexander and
His Court" ''kaiserburg and Engelsburg,"
and "Nobamet Ali and His Times"
In political opinions, she has always been
ultra liberal. Her first works were of a
very sensational stamp, but, as she ad.
vanced in years and experience, she con.
fined herself more strictly to historical
facts. and, although somewhat OF here
worshiper, her analysis of men and motives,
and her descriptions Of manners and Gus
toms, were very clear and vivid. While.
she can not be placed in the hrst rank of
writer's of fiction, she has, nevertheless,
been very popular, and probably no novel
jst in Germany has been more widely read.
In this country also she has had large cir
Gle of readers. Her style was very rich and
exuberant, sometimes even stilted, but it
has always been pure. In her home life she
is represented to have been true woman,
devoted wife and loving mother. In per-
son, she is represented to have been re-
ma1kably fine looking woman, of middle
size. with gray hair, full, round face,
frank expression, large gray eyes, high
forehead, and mouth of singular sweet
ness,

A correspondent of the Monroe Inteli
gencer, speaking of Mr.. Adams now under
arrest, and the probability of his eonnec-
ton with the recent murders in Franklin
parish. says:
In the fall of 1863, during court in the
town OF Columbia, Mr.. William Adams and
q crowd Of his associates chased Judge T.
S. Crawford out Of town with guns and pis-
tolls, and all believe that if they had not
been checked for few minutes by one of
their own party they would have succeeded
in taking his life then. This can and will
be proved. there being dozens of persons,
ladies as well as men, white and black, will
swear it, and will swear that Mr. Adams
was one of the crowd. The same day some
of the same crowd chased !. II. Crawford
out of town with guns and pistols; also
took gun from an old colored man, Will.
liam Warner, and made him dance for their
amusement, and made many other violent
demonstrations on peaceable citizens This
can all be proved.

AT LARGE.

We were pleased to receive call last
evening from George B. Loud, Esq, of
Iberville parish. After an imprisonment of
ffty-three days as victim of an alleged
conspiracy, and repeatedly refused release
on solvent bonds, i: seems the hearts of his
again at large-the sheriff, week after
rejecting the bond offered by Mr.. Dubuclet,
having reconsidered his action. During his
imprisonment Mr.. Loud was rendered quite
i'll. and comes out weighing some twenty
pounds less than when he went in. We
trust that he will speedily resume his ac-
customed health, and that on trial of the
indictments against him his character may
be thoroughly vindicated.

Financial.

Matters in financial circles remain about
the same. Money is little sitter, the dis
counts on certified checks ranging from
three to four per cent. An unfounded
rumor prevailed to some extent that the
banks had determined to resume specie
payments in short time. No such conclu.
sion has been reached. When New York
takes the lead in this matter New Orleans
will speedily follow. Until then certified
checks will travel about the street as they
do to-day.

Hon. Trasimond Landry died at his home
in Ascension parish, near Donaldsonville,
Wednesday morning, aged seventy-six
years. He was native of the parish in
which he always lived, where he died, and
was one Of the last survivors of the ancient
regime. He occupied a prominent place in
the politics of Louisiana fifty years ago.
He was a presidential elector for jackson,
during his first candidacy in 1928, and sew
eral times subsequently held the same hon
ored position. He was Lieutenant Cover
nor of Louisiana when Isaac johnson was
Governor, twenty-eight years ago. He was
very naturally an ardent supporter of the
late war for secession, and performed some
active service. He has not taken an active
part in politics since the war, although he
came forward in the Greeley movement last
fall. He had been man of wealth, but in
bis latter days he was poor in the things of
this world. He enjoyed the confndence
and esteem of his fellow citizens while he
lived, and carries their regrets with him to
his grave. -E' -"-
