The name of John d. Elliot was pre-
scented to the County Convention as a dele
gate to the State Convention and most en-
phatically rejected. He resides in Precinct
No. 9, and not being able to secure his
Recommendation through any one of his own
precinct, he insinuated himself upon the
delegates from Precinct No 8, in the upper
part of the county, and got one of them to
resign his recommendation in favor Of him
self. When the names of the gentlemen
recommended from that precinct for candi-
dates to the State Convention were pre-
sented to the convention, the motion was
made by Major Walton to reject the name
Of John d. Elliott on the grounds that he
was not trustworthy, and unfit to represent
the Democratic party in any capacity. The
motion was loudly seconded by number
of the delegates, and afterwards carried by
almost the entire vote of the convention.
But two or three feeble voices were heard to
speak in favor of him. So goes the disor-
ganizer where he should long since have
been sent-outside the party, He asserted
he would 'poise free lance in the can
vass, y and now he has the invitation of the
the Democracy to do So Davis stands
ready to embrace him, but he will have to
hear from the Central Railroad first to un-
derstandwhat the policy of the company is.
BE no longer belongs to the unbought
masses, and his masters may require him to
poise his free lance for a while longer on a
rail. The ''hOnest Republican candidate
for Governor has his arms spread to re-
ceive him. win the Central Railroad be 50
cruel as to ostensibly withhold him from his
best lover -

his State was nearly evenly divided. There
were little over 363,00 cclored people.
There were $1,000 foreigners of whom there
were 81 200 who could no. vote. Those
were English, French and Spanish mer.
ters there had to be deducted 81 900 foreign.
ers. 5000 cOlored men known as whites. and
1000 ex-Cnion soldiers who vote the Repub.
lican ticket. Hence fifty per cent ot the
male whites did not vote ths Democratic
ticket. In 1870 the Republicans carried the
State by $4,000 majority, but in 1872 the
Democrats claimed to have cas-: 5000
votes. but to do so they must have 90.
10000 cOlored negro votes. They did not
get that, or even 1000. for i: was not in the
religion OF the colored man to vote that
way.
They appealed to the courts. and the
courts sustained their side of the case.
Even the highes: court had done so, and
:hat court was appointed by Warmoth, and
was composed in part of native citizens,
prominent and we'll known. and having a
deep interest in the welfare OF the State.
The speaker briefly gave a history OF the
returning boards at the last election in his
State similar to that already familiar to the
public.
He spoke of the social ostracism ,hen
and said if all the men and women OF Con
Ne cticut should come there as Democrats
they would be welcomed. but if they came
as Republicans they would be treated As
thieves and rascals.
At the close of the speakers remarks the
meeting adjourned.

| and overthrow all business.
That In view of the undoubted solyencv
of the banks, and to prove their confidence
therein, the members pledge themselves to
abstain from running the banks and TO con-
fine themselves to the strict, regular and
necessary checks and drafts in the course
of business. making them as limited as prae-
ticable, and continue as heretofore to mako
deposits; and that they urge upon all per-
sons having business with the banks to pur-
sue a like course of confidence, thus avoid
ing the contingencies OF prostration and
disaster
No further failures reported. The banks
all held out till closing hour, paying up
promptly. The excitement has greatly SUBJ
sided.

Affairs In Chicago.
CHICAGO, September 24-Althorrh the
day has been very quiet one on Change
and the prices of all grams have de-
clined, there has been marked abb
sence Of excitement and continued feeling
of confidence on the part of nearly all the
members of the Board of Trade. Last
evening there was some agitation of prop
osition to close the board for day or two,
but the movement amounted to nothing.
The board of directors to-day recon-
mended to the members that business be
conducted on as conservative basis as
possible, and that efforts be made to adjust
outstanding trades maturing this month on
an equitable basis; that transactions be linn
tied to the settlement OF outstanding con-
tracts and to the sales OF property for cash;
and that on all trans actions liberal or rea-
sOnable confidence be extended where the
same would, under ordinary circumstances,
be proper.
The recommendations were received with
general expressions of favor, and have been
followed out with great unanimity by the
members of the board, so that by tomorrow
night there will be very few outstanding
trades to settle.
There are now fewer outstandin trades
than at any time since the fire.

Qrdered In Saltilla and M0uferex.

Ordered to SaltillO and Monterey.
MATAMoRAs, September 2l.-The con-
gress of the state of Coahuila, in session at
Saltillo, being opposed to Governor Zepada,
who favors the national administration,
were about electing DR.. Salas governor
when they suddenly broke, upon the even
ing of the tenth instant, fearing an attack
from Zepada, and fled to Monterey, in the
state of Nueva Leon, where an insurrec-
tionary proclamation was issued, and they
left for Monclava, in the state of Coahuila,
where they propose establishing a state
government with DR.. Salas as governor. 1t
is supposed they visited Monterey to con-
fer with the opponents to the federal gov
ernment there. The government has orr
dered 5000 troops from San Luis Potosi to
occupy Saltillo and Monterey.

Americans Outraged on the Border.
BROWNSVILLE. Texas, September 24-"-A
series of robberies and grand murders have
recently been committed on United States
citizens residing and trayelinson the Mexi'
can border, which appear to indicate that
the bandits select Americans as their vice
tins, either in retaliation for General Mac
kenzie's raid into the kiokapOo camp and
Mexico, or because the authorities are sE
unfriendly TO Americans that such crimes
can be perpetrated without fea. OF punishe
Ment.
Within short time Mr.. Montgomery was
attacked, robbed and lett for dead in his
house in Monterey. Jose Ravezie was
beaten in his store in Camarge, and left for
dead. his assailants being discovered in
time TO prevent a robbery. The Perdie'
family were robbed on the highway near
San Fernando, the nen, women and chile
dren tied and left to starvo in an unfre'
quented spot. Mr. Henderson and two
companions were robbed, and one of thenr
killed. near China. Two Americans were
attacked. and ore wounded, in the road
near Marina, escaping only after despe'
rate fight. in which ono 0f :he!T a5sailants
was Mortally wounded.
DR.. IIo,gar:h was killed IN his house, az
Augu.leavdes, and the premises robbed.
The perpetrators Of these crimes were ar
rested and their guilt clearly established.
except in she Perdie ease yet, not one OF
them was punished, the authorities being
either Indifferent or powetless. The facts
have been proven before United States
consuls and sent 20 Washington. IN hopes
that yedves. vii! be demanded.

john Plorghman once said: I neyerk knew
a good horse which had not some old habit
or other. and never ye. saw minister
worth his salt. who had no: some crotchet
or odG!ty. Now these are the bits Of cheese
that cavaliers smell out and nibble at; this
man is TOO slow. and another too fast; the
srst is .oc tiowery, and the second is too
dull. Dear me. if all of Gods creatures
wee I'D ged in this way. we should wiring
the doves neck for being too tame. shoot
the robins for eating spiders, kill the crows
for swinging sheir tails, and the hens for
not giving US milk. When man wants TO
beat dog, he can soon find stick, and at
this rate any fool may have something to
say against the best minister in England.

Or. White. Of tho Board of Health. has
gone 20 work IN earnest TO induce the city
government to make some humane provi.
sion Tor the treatment of smallpox patients.
There are at the presen: time two hos.
p;tais il this city created especially for the
treatment of persons afflicted with this
loathsone disease, neither of which is a
credi: 70 the city. One Of them, by act of
the Legislature, has monopoly OF small.
pox patients. but by some peculiar perver.
sity the city government: contracts to send
them to the other.
DR.. Hayes House Of Health. the State
monopoly. consists OF a cocplo OF wooden
shant;es. QUILT il the grounds Of and SUR
rounded by the ruins OF the old Luzenburg
Hospital. The land in TIE .eishborhood il.
exceedingly low. On the west side OF the
buildings there are no habitations. The
country. as far as the eye can reach. is a
wet. boggr tract. Men in boats laden with
wood paddle up under the windows Of the
buildings through the s:agnant water Of
the filthy bitches. Such surroundings can
hardly profit any one save the wocdchopper.
unless it may be the undertaken fox whom
the poison of the smallpox does not kill
must run the risk of receiyn: their coup dc
grace from the poisonous malaria.
On tbs other hand DR.. Anto-Xs hospital.
which has the specia! encouragement of
the City Council. is situated :a- out on
Common street. I. is a one-s.ory. obiong
