CeleDfatlOn occurred to-day. Tho
numerous organizations assembled in
Stephens Green and vicinity. Owing
to the multitude of people, the line
did not move until long after 10, the
appointed hour. The line of march
was around Merrion Square, through
Leycester and Nassau streets, College
Green, past City Hall, up to Cork Hall,
through Thomas and James streets,
Stevens Lane, along the quays, through
Capel street, Dorset street and Con-
ner's Row 10 the site of the national
monument to O'Connell, on Sackville
street. The route was five miles in
length, and the procession extended
the entire distance.
II is estimated there was forty thous-
and people in line. The houses and
sidewalks along the route were crowd
ed with dense masses of spectators.
There was great cheering as the pro-
cession marched past O'Connell's
house and the City Hall, where the
great liberator delivered his first ora
ton against the union. The members
of the Fenian Amnesty Association
marched with banners at their head,
hung with chains. Their flags were
draped with Grape and other emblems
of mourning.
DIR. Isaac Butt and other home rule
members of Parliament marched with
the association in Sackville street.
As the divisions of the procession
with bands playing arrived and took
up their positions, the scene was grand
and stirring. Long before all had ar.
rived the cOmmcmoration ceremonies
had begun. At the site of tho monu-
ment Lord O'Hogan, who was to have
delivered the Grafton of the day, was
not able to be present, and tho Lord
Mayor of Dublin, came forward.
The moment he appeared there was
q great uproar and confusion. The
Fenian amnesty men had moved up to
the front of the platform, and "a the
Lord Mayor began to speak they
shook the chains attached to their ban
ners In his face, and drowned his
voice with shouts Of mo whiggers I"
and loud and long continued cries for
DR.. Butt. The Mayor made second
attempt to read his speech, but finding
it impossible to make himself heard,
withdrew from the platform under
the protection of the police. DIR. Butt,
| in response to repeated calls. came for.
ward and made speech, reviewing
tho career of O'Connell. and thanking
the people for their nraiseworthv con.
duct during the day. He was enthu-
siastically cheered.
/ Speeches were also made by Mr..
IO'Connor Powers. member of Parlia-
ment from Mavn comfy. and Mr.. Snl.
Ivan, member for the south. The pro-
| ceedings were then brought to close
| and the vast assembIage neaceahlv

which the Lord Mayor presided, was
ing. The proceedings were marked
by no incident of interest, until one of
| the regular toasts, viz: .The Iepisla.

greeted with tremendous uproar and
cries for Butt. For twenty minntes
there was a scene of wild disorder.

PANAMA, Aug. l..-President Gonzales,
of Salvador, had about fifty of those enga-
ged in the recent fanatical riots shot in
SQUADS at towns between San Miguel and
the Capitol, causing the Padres who occa-
stoned the outbreak to witness the execu-
tions. Many Of these victims confessed
they were assured by the Padres that they
might rob the rich provided they gave part
to the church. Great sorrow and indigna-
ton has been expressed throughout Central
America at the events at st. Miguel, in
which the respectable clergy Join.

mignty most OF earnest men % their
unbiased, eondescsnding will. The
exhibitions which the Republican par
ty has made In this nation Of fatty
snubbing dictators Of ito action, is one
of it's proudest records. At this hour
VIC have State ticket in the field the
carefully considered choice of its duly
constituted State Convention. We
feel as certain - We can be, that IL
lie the bounden duty Of every Repub.
lican to labor for tho election of that
ticket. II, in connection with the
election of the county ticket, is suffi-
cient for us at present.
From three to four months will ex-
pire after the election before the rep
resentatives of the people, at Des
Moines, in the State Legislature, will
be called upon to choose q U. S. Sen.
ator. In that time there will DO ample
opportunity to discuss the fitne.s of
those who may aspire to tho place, or
for the people to give expression as to
who they desire. Not one single man
Of all the men named in connection
with the office, or, indeed, anybody
else, have any claims upon the Repub-
lican party; set them oil aside;. let
them drop entirely out and their loss
would not impede . particle the on
ward march Of the party and Its prin.
ciples. Opportunity alone has made
them prominent, over thousands OF
others in the party. We decline to
entertain with ordinary respect even,
the slightest demand Of any man, made |
upon the Republican party, and We
wish TO be understood In saying this,
that officious intermeddling at this
time, on the part Of any man, in Sen.
atorial matters, We regard 10 near
akin to demand, that We look upon
them - differing but little. The Re-
publican party of Iowa cannot afford
to be encountered with . personal
scramble for the Senatorship; Repub-
licans will not put up with it; 1t will
seriously impair any mans chances to
lug It into the campaign, either in dis
cussing who we sciN not haze or who
We sciH have, for one is tantsmount to
the other in it, effect. Ample time is
yet to elspse before the Senatorial
choice 10 to be made, to make and un-
make candidates; to change entirely
the choice Of any good Republican
at this time, II he has any. for the
Senatorship. A tight Of six months
over the Senatorship, could only have
the effect Of making discord in the
canvass, with probable bitter squsb-
BILE, and the final election OF some nom
representative Republican in the out
come, ~ has transpired OF late In some +
of our neighboring states. In no event I
could It be productive of one single
good thing. Personally We have NO
definite preference for any man for
Senator; none such ~ We would be
willing to act on, were We called upon
to-day to make selection, simply be-
cause We have not considered that the
time has arrived to make such selec.
ton, and have not troubled ourselves
with reflection upon 1t. To speak
plainly, We should deem it an imperti-
nence to ask no to commit ourselves up-
on this question in the State canvass,
and while 20 much time and 90 many
circumstances may intervene to vary
the judgment Of . sensible and honor
able man.

RAILROAD WAR.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-On Saturday the
general freight agents of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, Chicago, Rock
leland & Pacific, and Chicago & Alton
Railroads, held meeting for the pur-
pose of considering what action 1t was
best for them to tske in regard to the
difficulty between the two st. Louis
lines. TO remain neutral would give
st. Louis q great advantage over Chi
cagO, as goods could be shipped from
Baltimore to Kansas City via st. Louis
for less than they could be sent from
Chicago. They therefore decided to
reduce the rates from this city to Mis-
souri, River points to such figures as
would enable them to compete with
the st. Louis lines. They adopted the
