Orleans ring OF politicians remains to be
seen.
A minority Of the Democracy Of our city
held meeting at Clay statue last night, by
way Of showing it's indign alton for its ma
jority, and although an anonoly, really
made big showing for the small side. DR..
Brickell was made president, by previous
arrangement, and Judge Manning vice
president. As a matter of course, Z. John
Ellis was there, to read resolutions and put
them to crowd that would not say nav to
anything proposed, no matter what the sub
stance. The NEE ting was composed of such
men as met at the came place on
the fourteenth of September, in the
morning. and had they been told to
90 home and return with their loaded arms.
would have obeyed the same as school chill
dren obey their master The meeting was
of an incendiary character, full Of wind and
fury, prepared to indorse the most ultra
or Radical sentiments. As it is a purely
Democratic quarrel, we have little or
nothing to do with it.
DR.. Brickell, the president, stated the
object Of the meeting, namely, to express
the indignation Of the meeting at the
course of majority of the Conser alive
party in making a compromise with the
party. with an intention to &C.
that which the Democracy has
been crying for for mOnths-peace.
Judge T. C. Manning, who made miser-
A.

words were not full of wisdom, they are
not given. Somebody read q preamble and

Legislative Items.

we find in the Richmond Dispatch, of the
goth, the following items of some interest. con-
nected WITH the proceedings OF the Legisla-
ture:
Three bills have passed the General Assem-
bly, authorizing the city OF Richmond to sub
scrlbe TO internal Improvement companies-viz:
10 the western connections of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company, to the Buchanan
and Clifton Forge Railroad Company, and to
the Richmond and Trans Allegheny Narrow
Gauge Railroad Company. The maximum,
amount OF subscription allowed in each case is
sl,00o,oo0, and before the subscription can be
effected 1T must receive three -fourths of the
number OF votes dncluding a majority of free,
holders) polled at the election when the qucs-
ton is submitted to the people,
Inc supreme Court OF Appeals is empower
ed, by bill which passed both houses, to re-
qurc one OF its judges to reside in Richmond,
who for so doing is to receive 81. 1000 per annuni
extra pay. This arrangement received nearly
the unanimous approval OF the bar of the State.
1t IS q matter OF convenience and economy to
lawyers applying for writs of error, &C., in the
vacation OF the court, to find judge in Rich
lnond who can attend to their business. It is
likely that Judge Christian will be named to
take up his residence here.
The General Assembly has created two new
judgeships and filled them, thus increasing the
number OF circuit judges from sixteen to elgl-
teen. The Eastern Shore counties Of Acco-
mac and Northampton were taken from the
Eighth circuit and erected into the Seventeenth
circuit, and Judge G. I. Garrison, late of the
Eighth circuit, was elected judge thereof. To
the counties of New Kent, Charles City, War
wick, Elizabeth City, York, james City, and
city Of williamsburg, which were left in the
Eighth circuit, was added the county Of Snrry,
taken from the First crnuit OF the Eirhth

Affairs Oh the Mexican border in Texas
seem to be in a deplorable plight. Bands of
cattle thieves come over fre1n Mexico at pleas
IRE, kill and capture citizens, drive off their
stock, and bid defiance to successful pursuit
1t is rumored that they have lately cleared
olt company OF two OF negro troops station
ed at San Luis, on the Rio Grande, and it is
apparent that the banditti are determined if
possible to possess both banks Of the river for
the fertilization OF their raids. In the raid near
Corpus Christi, last week, the Mexicans carri-
ed off Judge Gilpin, and q large number Of
other Americans, Including two women
burned the Nueces postofice and captured the
mail rider. They were pursued and all except
four of the captives escaped, after a running
fight in which two Americans and one Mex
ican were killed. The attention Of the Mex
lean minister at Washington has been called to
the matter, but nothing is expected to come of
this. Instructions, however, will be sent to
the general commanding the department, and
perhaps we may soon hear of another McKen-
zie dash into Mexican territory; nor is gen.
eral border warfare at all improbable.

UNRIvALED FIENDIsHNEss IN UTAH.-The
Rocky Mountain Nesos of recent date gives
the following particulars Of an atrocious tragedy
committed at 1oqueville, Utah, OIL the 18th
instant
.sRichard Fryer, who has lately labored UNI
der the Authorization that he was a second Je-
sus Christ, entered his house i'll the evening
and found Thomas Batty, friend of the fam
lily, lighting fire in the CRATE. Believing that
Batty was an enIissary OF the devil, who was
trying to burn his premices, the lunatic rushed
for pistol and shot him through the head.
Mrs. Fryer paraIized with fear crouched in a
corner, and was shot through the heart by her
demonic husband. The next thing he did
was to go to the cradle where his infant child
was lying asleep and deliberately blow its
brains out. This was the browning act Of the
almost unparalleled tragedy. Fryer then sailed
forth into the village armed with a revolver
and a gun; proclaiming himself the Lord and
saying that he had slain the devil and several
of his imps. The sheriff, unable to arrest
Fryer, and fearing that still other lives might be
sacrificed, killed him with a shot from navy
revolver. Batty, Mrs Fryer, the babe and the
slayer Of them, all were buried on St. Pat
rick's day from the same house,

A CONVENTION CALLED.

The undersigned, State representatives. beg
leave to represent to you the urgent expedi-
ency OF holding convention for the purpose
of considering and adiu ting all political, f.
nancial, and other questions touching your in
terests and prosperity freemen and members
of the great Commonwealth. The following
startling facts should be sufficient to inspire
you with hope, and at the same time prove
that your own hands, your own energies, and
your own genius, must eventually liftyo from
the difficulties and embarrassfnents with which
you are now surrounded. You constitute
fire buadre3 thousand (learly one-half) of the
population Of your State. You have no press!
and whatever sentiments you may hold. or
whatever emotion may burn in your bosonls, are
almost totally unknown to your own fellow
citizens, to say nothing OF the outside world
Many problems present themselves, and it is
as clear as sunshine that on, yourselves, and
not others, are competent to offer a beneficial
and natural solution. You will at once see
the wisdom i'll rejecting your own views and
your own policy, to the end that human rights
may be secured and preserved, and the glory
and prosperity OF Virginia enhanced by the
labor and sacrifices Of its citizens. It is there
fore, suggested that each city and county elect
twice the hunber Of delegates now provided
for in the constitution for the House Of Dele
gates. and that said delegates convene in the
city OF Richmond, Thursday the 10Th day of
August, 1873, at the hour Of IL O'Clock, NJ. for
the purpose of considering questions above in
dicated and all other matters which they may
deem right and proper. And upon ON. pur-
poses and desires, we invoke the favorable CON
sideration OF all good citizens.
