NEW YORK, July 27.-The Herald
correspondent with the Carlist army in
Catalonia telegraphs that Don Alphonso
has captured Reus the second city in that
vicinity to Barcelona. Bercelona is threat
ened with isolation. 1t is reported that
France recognizes the Carlists as belige-
rents.
The CoItes has declared itself in favor
of the abolition of capital punishment.
The Carlist force which was threatening
Belboa has retired from the neighborhood.
Don Carlos is reported to be at Areos in
the province of Logron. The railway
from Madrid to Valencia has been cut in
several places. A meeting of lntransigentes,
at Alcaniz in Aragon has been broken up
and twenty-four persons who were present
arrested.
MADRID, July 27.-The government
troops attacked Valencia yesterday, and
after desperate struggle of five hours
duration fighting was suspended and the
insurgents offered to capitulate, but their
terms were refused, the government de.
manding an unconditional surrender.
Heavy re-enforcements have been sent
forward and the attack will be resumed
and the town bombarded tomorrow if the
insurgents do not yield. Seville has also
proposed to return to its loyalty to the ma
tional government on certain terms, but as
IN the case of Valencia the government
will accept nothing less than unconditional
surrender. 1t is believed that the insur-
gents will soon give up the city unless re-
lieved. San Fernando was attacked on
Friday by an insurgent column from Ca
diz. The loyal garrison made a brave and
successful defence, and in the evening the
insurgents withdrew.

AN IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING
CASE IN COURT suit against Rush
Burgess, the collector of internal revenue
for this district, was some time since COM
menced in the circuit court of Richmond
by James b. Pace, tobacco manufacturer
Of this city, to recover back the sum of
twenty thousand dollars paid by him to the
said collector for export tobacco tax
stamps.
The trial Of this case will test the consti-
tutionality of the law of Congress relative
to the imposition of this tax upon
tobacco exported, and involves the validity
of similar claims in this state, amounting
to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The
9th clause of section 9. of article of the
constitution of the United States, provides
that "no tax or duty shall be laid on arti-
cles exported from any state.o
Last Monday, on motion of W. +.
Worthington, assistant United States attor-
ney, and counsel for the defendant, the
case was removed to the circuit court of
the United States, and will finally pass to
the supreme court. The plaintiff is repre-
sented by W. P. Burwell and A. Austin
Smith.

THE Democratic State Convention
met in Wilkesbarre on the 9th ult.
1t nominated State ticket. James X.
Ludlow, of Philadelphia, was nomina-
ted on the second ballot for Supreme
Judge, and F. NJ. Hutchinson, of Ale.
gheny, on the second bollot for Stste
Treasurer
The convention was thrown into
quite confused state at the effort to
reach a permanent organization. The
cause was the back pay bill. We here
publish the proceedings on that point ::
At four O'Clock, the committee being
ready to report, the convention was
called to order, and the chairman Of
the committee, Colonel Robert Dechert,
read the name of Hon. Il. Milton Spear
for permanent chairman.
At this point A. II. Glatz, of York,
interrupted, and moved the non-con-
currence of the convention in the report
of the committee 20 far as read, giving
as his reason, that Mr.. Spear had, as a
member of Congress, taken back pay.
The motion and remarks of Mr..
Glatz we're received with great applause
by the convention.
Mr.. Spear replied, defending his ac-
tion as a public man, pleading his SER
vices and fealty to the Democratic
party, and asking the convention not to
give way to the personal clamer Of the
hour. He stated that be had not
sought the honor of presiding ever the
convention. but now that the commit
tee bad presented his name, he hoped
that be would not be stabbed in the
shouse of his friends
Messrs. r. E. Manahan and W. D.
Moore supported the motion of Mr.
Glatz, and denounced the salary grab
in severe terms.
Messrs. G. W. Carrigan and j. Law
renee Getz spoke in behalf of Spear.
The latter gentleman upheld the back
pay bill, and was Kissed from the fool
The sense of the convention was almost
unanimous against Spear being the per-
manent chairman. In a short speech
be withdrew his name and moved the
name of DR.. Andrew Neblnger be sub
stituted. This was carried.
