the News, dated Golind, August
Il:l5 y. NJ, says that when the thirty
nth ballot waa called Mr.. Martin, OF
Hayes, nominated Judge Russell, Of
Cameron. This was seconded by w.
II. Wallace, Of Maverick, Mr.. Moore,
of Mercer, and p. Il. Murphy, each Of
whom complimented Mr.. Russell. Mr.
Murphy feelingly alluded to his great
loss In the death of his nephew, who
had come OF ~ visit to him prior TO his
return from the legislature, and who,
he learned on the day of his arrival,
had just been brutuatly murdered by
MeXicans. He closed by asserting that
Judge Russell was able to perform
service than five men like himself.
Judge Russell stated that he desired
TO say that under no circumstances, or
combination of circumstance, would
he he n candidate. He said this was
frank, and that he was sincere, and
that If the convention would not en-
force the fifteen minute rule, he would
be glad. He said that every one here
knew the position he occupied, yester.
day, in s%econding the nomination of n
frontier soldier of Texas, and that he
yet holds the same views, and stands
ready and pledges himself to aid in
securing the nomination of any gem
tleman who will satisfy the frontier
people of this state.
WASHINGTON, August 2S.-The at
torney general has no doubt, if the dis
turbances, of which he has many re-
ports, continue but that the president
will interfere. In the south, it is sug-
gested, he needs all of his soldiers to
fight Indians, and the whites must of
necessity fight their own battles
against negroes.
General Emory, commanding the
Louisiana department, has no conf
dence in his new regiments In the
contest between the whites and blacks.
his soldiers will certainly affiliate with
the whites, if detached in squads
throughout the state. The negroes
only safety, if he becomes aggressive,
is in the tardy law administered by
United States judges, and they, follow
ing the lead of their chief judge, VIII
liams, seem to be becoming impatient
of the assumption of colored people.
P%ITTsBURG, August 2S.-The resolu.
tons of the democratic convention de-
unc the republican party, and de-
clare that prosperity can only be re-
stored to the country by the restoration
of the democratic party. They oppose
government grants of land to railroads,
favor economy in the administration
of the government, recognize the
claims of the soldiers and sailors and
widows and orphans, favor II speedy
return to specie payments, and de-
nounce' the civil rights bill and mixed
schools for black and white children.
LONDON. August 2S.-A special to
the Standard from Paris gives an ac-
count of a duel between M. Ferrer De
Conto and Senior Rosaldo, editor, of
New York. 1t says the affair came off
with pistols, on the Belgian frontier,
and De Comic was dangerously wounded
in the side.
John Henry Foley, the sculptor, is
dead.
DOVER, August 2S.-The democratic
convention nominated John b. Coch-
ran for governor, and James Williams
for congress. The platform %denounces
the civil rights bill, and the act of con
gress charging the jurisdiction of the
federal court of the district of Column
bia as u base attempt to muZzle the
public press.

New York, August 29.--The report
of the investigating committee was
read by Professor Raymond. During
the reading of the report frequent in
terruptions were caused by the APP
plause which followed certain passages
sustaining Beecher, and outbursts of
l,,rL4np =, .lr, ms, ,,,t l,r ,,,A,,,. nj
lusions to Moulton and his participa-
ton in the matter. The concluding
portion of the summing up Of the conf
mittee were received with waving of
handkerchiefs, hats etc, and the APP
plause which greeted its ending was
almost deafening.
During the church meeting, after the
report had been read, Raymond said
that in all that evidence taken before
the committee, he claimed that there
was not q single line which disproved
Henry Ward Beecher's story. The
Speaker recapitulated some parts ofthe
evidence taken before the committee.
In referring to Mr.. Moulton's part in
the affair, he said that Mr.. Francis ID.
Moulton had tried to poison the minds
of men against Beecher. This seems
to have aroused Moulton, who, stand
ing up erect, glared at the speaker and
exclaimed twice, in tones which echo
ed throughout the building: you
are a liar, sir" Instantly all was o IL
fusion. Men and women rose to their
feet, the latter mounting on seats and
joining in the cry with a hearty good
will of "Put him out, shame" ETC.,
and kissing, in the midst of which Mr..
Holiday came forward, and making
himself heard above the din, partially
restored order by saying: "Gentle-
men, let him sit still and hear the
