bear upon the subject which can in the
slightest alter the conclusions the committee |
have come to-" q. In recent dispatches Gen. |

The Alabama Republican State Convention
has renominated Alexander White and G. c.
Sheats for Congressmen-at at-Large. full
State ticket was also nominated. The reso-
lutions adopted declare unshaken confidence
and unalterable devotion to the great princi-
pies OF human liberty, viz: the civil and
political equality Of all men, without distinc-
ton of race or color; disavow all claim or
desire for the social equality Of the different |
races, and reject the issue OF race against |
race "tendered by the Democratic party, and
which, if persisted in by that party, will |
plunge us again into war with the Govern
ment Of the United States;" only equal ad-
vantages for the colored race are asked for
in matters of public and common rights.
For several days previous to the 23d, accord
ing to dispatches from Louisville, KY, open
war had been waged between two factions
at Lancaster, KY, the one composed Of whites
and the other of negroes, under the
command Of one Sellers. On the 22d Sellers
house, in which number Of negroes were
stationed, was burned to the ground, and had
it not been for the presence of United States
troops all of the inmates would have been
burned to death Several had been killed on
both sides At last accounts the militia from
the neighboring towns have reached Lancas-
ter and captured from thirty to forty colored
men,
TUESDAY, Aug. 25.-Spanish advices,
by way of Paris, report Ministerial crisis at
Madrid; also that the inhabitants of
that city have refused to submit to
fresh conscription and that disturbances are
imminent. The formal recognition of Spain
by Sweden has been announced. IA
Washington dispatch states that it has
been ascertained from a reliable source
that Spain, instead of investigating the
conduct of those of its authorities who
had infringed on Spanish laws or treaty obli-
cations, with a view to the Furnishing Of
those who may have offended, has made a
demand of indemnity in the affair Of the Vir-
ginius and for other alleged wrongs suffered
by Spain owing to flibustering expedi-
tions fitted out in this country and
landing or attempting to land men
and munitions of war on the Spanish
American coast. To this demand our Gov
ernment has replied in firm but courteous
terms, asserting the untenableness Of the po-
stion OF the Spanish Government, and re-
minding it of its remissness or ineacusabe
delay in making reparation for the wrongs
suffered by American citizens in person and
property. The latest information from Minis
ter Cushing is that he is still pressing our
demands on Spain. The Brooklyn
Eagle of the 22d publishes the evil
dence given by Tilton's adopted daughter
Bessie before the Investigating Committee, in
which she accuses Tilton with attempting her
ruin. She also speaks of Mrs. Tilton as being
lovely Christian woman and devoted wife
and mother. In the course of her statement
she says she once caught Susan B. Anthony
on Mr.. Tiltons lap. Miss Anthony has
since Indignantly denied the truth of the
story, regarding it as too absurd to be worthy
of further notice Henry Ward Beecher has
signed and swore to paper explicitly deny
ing all charges made in the allegation Of the
complaint brought against him by Theodore
Tilton, except the specification that he (Mr.
Tilton) had been married to Elizabeth
Richards, now Elizabeth r. Tilton. -. Hon.
J. w. Barnes has written letter formally
declining the candidacy for State Treasurer
on the Iowa Anti-Monopoly ticket, because
his private and personal affairs demand his
entire attention. He suggests that the State
Central Committee fill the vacancy thus
caused in the ticket, and says that the ticket
selected shall receive from him such active
and hearty support as he may be able to give
it,. Geo. C. Harding, editor of tire Indianap-
| oils Ind.) Sunday Herald, recently shot Joel
| Moritz, prominent merchant Of that city,
| for the alleged betrayal of his (Harding's)
daughter, who had just committed suicide.
Mr.. Harding was put under $4,000 bonds to
await the results of Moritz' wounds, which
would probably not prove fatal IA part of
| the large manufacturing establishment of the
studebaker BrothelS, at South Bend, Ind,
was DESTROYED by ire>on the morning Of the
24th The damage was estimated at $500, 900
go. The Republicans of the First Michigan
District have renominated Moses W. Field
for Congress .... 1t is stated that
]
! ton case in the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
will be again postponed, the Judges not hav
ing had sufficient time to examine the argu-
ments. The calendar will be first disposed
Of which will occupy about ten days, when
the expected verdict will be rendered. "A
recent Omaha dispatch says Gov Furnas
states in a circular that the information
| from various counties in Nebraska, to-
gether with personal observation, warranted
the assertion that while the crops are shorter
than for several years there is by no means a
failure. Small grains show an average; corn
from one-half to no crop; roots very short;
fruit more in quantity and inferior in quality.
No cases Of immediate need were yet re-
ported. At quitt number of points on the
extreme borders help would be required
soon, and must be extended through the
winter.
