ALABAMA DEMOCRATS.-The Alabama
state democratic convention finished two
lays session at Montgomery, Friday. B.
D. Lewis and w. II. Forney are the can
didates for Congress at large The resolu-
tons announce that the action of the rldi-
cal portion of the republican party necess-
tates the union of the white people in self
defense; acknowledge the rights of ali
classes under the constitution and laws.
but reject social union or equality; de-
nounce the so-called civil rights bill as a
lagrant, dangerous invasion of the conserv-
tive principle of free government. and
palptble violation Of the constitution, and
view with adherence the attempt to take
possession of the schools, colleges, churches,
hotels, railroads, steamboats,, theaters,
etc, for the purpose of establishing negro
quality; invite white immigration; urge
the enactment of laws to secure wages to
the employees of railroad corporations, and
pledge economy in the state government
md the payment of every dollar Justly
owed by the state, when it is able to do
so. They nominated venerable fossil,
named Houston, to run for governor.
This platform has the genuine old-fash-
ioned ring to it. Two thirds of it is de-
voted to an appeal to the prejudices against
he negro race and the absurd assumption
that the purpose of the civil rights bill is
to force social equality between whites and
negroes, and the other third is made up of
denunciation in good set terms of the OPP
posing party and its management of affairs
in the State. There is not I'm idea in il
affecting any important matter of public
policy. The appeal to white people =" to
'' unite and act together in self-defense and
for the preservation of white civilization -
would be amusing if it did not give evil
dence of wicked prejudices and a bitter
determination to perpetuate them even to
war of races. If the people of Alabama
understand the conditions of their future
peace and prosperity they will not sustain
party putting forth such an infammatory
manifesto.

INDIAN AFFAIRs.-An official report has
been received at the war department OF
the expedition under Capt. Bltes, which
left Camp Brown, Wyoming territory,
July l, for the purpose of Furnishing the
Indians who committed depre,lations.
Capt. Bates party reached the Indian vii
lage ut Owl Creek mountains, which con-
sisted of ll2 lodges in a deep ravine The
Indians opened fire on the troops, but with
oatdamage, and the troops in turn drove the
redskins through the gulley, where they
crowded so closely together near the lower
end, that the troops, as the report expresses
it, " had splendid chance at Them" and
counted, after the fight, II dead bodies,
almost in one heap In about 20 minutes,
or half an hour at the furthest. there was
not an Indian in the village, excepting the
dead and the children left in the lodges.
The Indians who escaped had reached the
rocks above, where they opened Il very
telling fire on the troops, killing two men
and wounding three The result of the
fight was % Indians killed. and, with the
usual proportion of four wounded to one
killed, 100 wounded. Complaint is made
of the bud behavior and cowarlice of the
Shoshones who were with the troops rs
allies.

Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, seaside re-
sort, has had wonderfully complicated
tragedy. involving alleged adultery, an
attempt at lynching, murder, and dan
gerous runaway. For some weeks there
has been a good deal of scandal in connec-
ton with Mr.. Vinson of Edgartown and
S. K Elliot of Worcester, who have occu-
pied house in company with two married
women belonging in Edgartown. These
men have been threatened with coat of
tar and feathers, and Vinson, fearing
trouble, left the island some two weeks
ago, About II o'clock on Saturday night
party of men went to the cottage, and,
calling out Elliot, forced him, after consid-
cradle of a struggle, into wagon in which
was n pot of tar and a bag of feathers.
Elliot drew revolver and fired twice, the
second shot killing Caleb Smith. brother of
the two women. The report of the pistol
so frightened the horse that he ran away
and threw the whole party from the wagon,
when Elliot escaped and surrendered him
self to the authorities. Intense excitement
prevails at the Bluffs.

WALwORTH. THE PARRICIDE.-Frank
Walworth, confined in the Auburn On. W
State Prison, for killing his father. Mans
field Tracy Walworth, was last week taken
TO the insane asylum for criminals in that
city. The transfer was made in accord
ance with the recommendation of DIR.
John OrdronauX, STATE commissioner in
lunacy, after critical examination of Wal
worth. The doctor decided that the pris-
oner is the victim of chronic epilepsy, and
that he is developing symptoms of melan-
cholia. Walworth has been wasting in
strength and flesh for months. His physi-
cal condition is SO feeble that the walk
from the prison to the asylum, although
not more than eighty rods, exhausted him
to great extent.

The SECOND DIsTRICT.-The Republi-
cans of the several towns are getting ready
for the caucuses of next Saturday, and
there is a prospect of several things.
Judge Poland is making an active canvass.
D. c. Denison of Royalton is in the field,
and is developing great deal of strength
Col. John B. Mead also remains candi-
date, and there appear to be various opin :
ions as to his strength. He does not appear
to be strong among the working politicians
of his district, but evidently has many sup
porters. The classes that would naturally

chronic habit of not attending the primary
meetings. A new candidate is also an
nounced as in the field, we do not know on
what authority or with what strength.
This is George Howe of Brattleboro. AL
together the result appears to be very
much in doubt.

The Great Scandal.

There is nothing reliable from the great
Brooklyn middle this week. Mrs. STAN
ton and Miss Anthony have been inter-
viewed by reporters and claim Mrs. Tilton
made confessions of guilt to Miss Antho-
ny. Mrs. Tilton has testified before the
committee, and persists in her denials.
The committee was to close its hearings
last night, and next week we shall probab-
ly be able to give the results of their ex-
animation. Whether their verdict will be
satisfactory to the public depends very
much on whether Frank Moulton testifies
OF not, and he is visiting Gen. Butler. 1t
is said Mr.. Beecher has written him, ask
ing earnestly that he tell all he knows.
The Tribune says of Mr.. NJ:
Mr.. Francis D. Moulton, after his almost
miraculous activity of the past few months,
is Mt rest in Gloucester, Mass, the guest
AS we are told in the curt brevity of a tele-
graphic dispatch-of Mr.. Benjamin F. But
Ter. Mr.. Moulton's relation to the Brook
lvn scandal has been, if we may believe his
own representations, that of oo-between
and peacemaker. He has written letters
for Mr.. Beecher to sign, has conveyed Mr..
Beecher's confessions to Mr.. Tilton, has
enioyed the condolences of both Mr.. and
Mrs. Tilton. extorted writings from Mr..
Beecher at the muzzle of pistol. has had
the pastor of Plymouth Church on his
knees before him, and with the heads of all
the parties reposing on his manly bosom,
has whispered peace and reconciliation to
them, while he winked as one who knows
it all at the general public. An ecclesias-
teal tribunal searching for the facts has
sought Mr.. Moulton in various places.
from Fulton Ferry to Narragansett Pier, to
find out what lie knows. He has escaped
its summons and now. with all his music
in him, he is discovered at Gloucester, the
guest of Benjamin F. Butler, the Congress
sional criminal lawyer. 1t is a remarka-
bic fact that whenever a scandal becomes
national. very remarkable head rises out
of the center of it, and people recognize at
once Il Massachusetts, statesman in the
midst of it. So, so. At Gloucester. With
Mr.. Butler!
And Mr.. Carpenter has also concluded
not to testify! For man 50 bursting with
inform alton. exuding it, so to speak, this
self-restriint seems cruelty.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CONFERENCE

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CONFERENCE
The New York Tribune reports a confer
ence of railroad men in the private apart
ments of Vanderbilt, at Saratoga, last
Thursday, at which were present the
presidents of the Pennsylvania Central,
Atlantic and Great Western, Columbus,
Cincinnati. and indianapolis. Toledo, Wa
bash and Western, and various other roads.
The meeting is said to have been less for
the purpose of raising rates than of main
tanning the present prices and providing
against the suicidal system of commissions.
rebates and drawbacks, which were in
vogue and which drained the resources
and vitality of the different corporations.
There was no doubt that the effect of the
conference would be excellent.

TnToN ARREsTED.-W. J. Gaynor had
Tilton arrested last week for libel, and
Theodore was brought before police JUS
tice of Brooklyn and the case has been

Gaynor being young man with no call
to any particular sphere of usefulness, and
seeker for notoriety simply. 1t would be
all very well to try the case in the courts il
the exact truth is to be obtained, but Gay

POSTAL CAR CONTROvERSY.-The diff
ferences on the postal car question between
the post-office department and President
Hinckley of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore railroad, are as far from
settlement as ever. The mails were sent
to the depot as usual, Monday morning,
and went over the road in the postal cars
as usual. Mr. Hinckley telegraphed to the
department, Saturday night, that, if this
took place, he should consider it ,n assur-
ance that the department accepted his
terms and agreed to pay his price To
this Acting Assistant Postmaster-G General
Marshall replied that, if the railroad COM
pany received OF carried the mails, it must
be only on the terms of the law; under no
circumstances could or would the depart
ment, directly or implicitly, undertake or
assume to pay greater compensation
than the law allows And so the matter
stands.

the great railroad conductor is mention
ed as one of the possible successors OF
Gen. Butler in representing the sixth dis
trict. But Butler acts as though he don t
mean to leave Congress, and many think
he will not try for the governorship, but
will support Lieut.. Gov. Talbot for the
gubernatorial succession. Talbot gets the
prohibitionists, but the license men don't
want him.

THIS Observation-Disclosures for delegates
have taken place in several towns in this
congressional district This county will
undoubtedly go solid for Mr. Willard. In
Addison county five towns have elected.
OF these Middlebury is claimed for Col
joyce, the vote in caucus standing A. for
the Joyce delegate to 81 for the Willard
delegate. and Vergennes has an indie
pendent " delegation. The remaining
three towns have chosen Willard delegates.
In New Haven an effort was made Just be
fore caucus to capture the town for joyce
but it failed for want of votes. In Rut-
land county Col. Joyce has large major
ity of the delegates thus far elected. In
Bennington county the delegates already
chosen are about evenly divided, Benning-
ton itself having elected n Joyce delegation
The prospect is that Mr.. Willard will be
renominated unless the people who are
for him allow their towns to be manipulate
ed and snap game played by unscrupu-
lous politicians. We do not vet believe
that they will allow this to be done 1t
can be prevented by folks being awake, as
was the case in New Haven.

THE New LoAN.-Secretary Bristow
has been very successful in his efforts to
retire S179,O0O,0O0 of the six per cent in
debtedness of the country by negotiating a
five per cent loan. Eleven millions of the
new five per cent were taken in this country
Of the remaining and great portion of the
amount, the Rothschilds take $4,000, 900
absolutely and have the option of taking
the remaining s123.0OO,OOo within six
months at the same rate, that is at par
with commission of one fourth of one
per cent. There appears to be no doubt
they will work off the whole loan. The
Rothschilds lost a great chance when the
great war loans were put on the market,
and are evidently growing to believe in
American securities. Nevertheless they
might have ratified a few scores of extra
millions in their pockets had their faith
come dozen years sooner.

Prindle WAS in New \ DIRK on Friday
night. mt the Grand Central depot, with his
ft-her-in-law. his baby and Il servant. On
Saturday morning, about IL o'clock, it was
reported in the New York office, that Prin-
die had gone to Europe on that day. in the
City of Chester. and that his name appear
ed on the passenger list.
The president, ID. Rodney King. is suf-
fering from p1ralytic stroke, and knows
nothing whatever of this affair. Prindle
was also agent for the Atlantic and Pacific
Insurance Company of Chicago. for New
York and the New England States, the
Mercantile Insurance Company of the
same city, the Fire and Marine of Wheel
ing, West Virginia. and the Central Insur-
ance Company of Philadelphia.
1t is reported that he owes the Atlantic
md Pacific Company $4,000. and the
Mercantile Company $1,000. He never
paid anything to the Fire and MAJ inc In
surance Company. and owes the Central
about 5000 There is not a thing left of
he Peoples Company, to my knowled re.
and there is about $4,000 in losses thai
will soon have to be paid. Prindle sent
his wife and family to Europe a few
months since, and he has doubtless plan
mel this for about six months past. Its cal
culated th1t Prindle has absconded with
about S250,000.
The representatives of the Mercantile
Company of Chicago, say that Prindle
only owes them between $500 and $3.50.
The Vice-PresiLent of the Central lnSu-
rance Company denies that his company
will lose $1,000. He says that Prinde col
lected the premiums and did not account
to the company for them. They demand
ed his reasons. He said that rs the COM
pany was doing business Illegally he could
not collect the premiums. The company
thereupon informed the policy-holders that
their policies were Cancelled on account of
the non-payment of premiums. 1t was
then discovered that the premiums had
been paid and kept by Prindle.
Some persons believe that Prindle has
fed to Europe. Others believe that he is
secreted in the United States, and only
awaits a favorable opportunity for escape.
