JEFFERSON DAVIS.

THE OPINION OF THE RICHMOND ''wHIG" ON
THE INVITATION OF wINNEBAGo COUNTY
RICHMOND, Va, August Is, 1875.
BY coincidence the Wing, of this city, has an edi-
toria similar in sentiment to that the HERALD of yes
terday in relation to Jefferson Davis and his Northern
visit. The HERALD's article is universally applauded
here for its manly and patriotic utterances The gs
article differs only in its conclusion which is
follows:-'f Mr. Davis had declined the
invitation it would have been proclaimed
at once that he too disloyal
to accept such overture of generosity from the
North. And that Grand Army of the Republic in Win
nebago county would have been loud the loudest
in the proclamation. AS it is, he will, of course, recall
his letter of acceptance Mr. Davis is not insulted the
South is not insulted but it is burning insult to all
Northern men who honestly profess to be in favor of
friendship and fraternity throughout the Union again

THE MTsCREANTs ARREsTED-CoNTNUED Ex-
CITEMENT AMONG THE PEOPLE.
DUoUoIN, Ill., August is, 1875.
The latest news from the seat of war in Franklin
county was brought in by hack driver who arrived
here from Benton this afternoon. Two arrests have
been made since the fight night before last
The names of the parties arrested Green Contrel
and Aaron Neil, both of whom live in Franklin
county, in the vicinity of Benton. Suspicion,
which led to the arrest of Contrell was
first aroused by attention being attracted
by parties going to and from his house carrying ice and
by the doctor going to visit his residence These facts
made known to some of the officials, who, upon
entering his house, found Contrel III bed seriously if
not
FATALLY WOUNDED
The wounds are, doubt, the fruits Of his last
counter with the Sheriff and his party The other man.
Neil, is rather an unmportan member Of the Ku Klux
band Contrel is supposed to be active Ku Kldx and
MEMBER of some Importance. His arrest caused great
excitement as suspected him of being
nected with these 'white-robed gentlemen" Great
citement still prevails in and around Benton and the
Sheriff is still in close pursuit of the remainder of the
band and hopes entertained that he will succeed in
capturing and bringing them all to justice.

O'Clock this evening, while crossing from Os-
borne to Gosport, with the yacht Mistletoe,
belonging to Mr.. E. S. Haywood, of Man
chester who with party of friends, was on
q pleasure cruise
WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT THE COLLISION.
The sailors on the Mistletoe were in the act
of dipping the flag in honor of the Queen
when the cry was raised that the royal yacht
was running down on the Mistletoe. Great
excitement ensued and efforts to avoid col
ision were made, but it was too late.
THE POINT OF CONTACT.
The Mistletoe was struck on the starboard
side, abreast of the mainmast.
THE POWER OF THE ROYAL YACHT.
The Alberta rode completely over her,
losing her own bowsprit and cutwater.
INTENSE AGITATION OF THE QUEEN.
1t would be impossible to describe the
scene on board both vessels The Queen
Witnessed the collision from the deck of the
Alberta, and was deeply agitated, wringing
her hands and in state of dreadful sus-
pense.
EXERTIoNs TO SAVE THE VICTIMS.
Every effort is said to have been made to
save the party on the Mistletoe, which was
rapidly sinking. Several were rescued
severely injured.
IMMEDIATE SINKING OF THE MIsTLEToE.
The damage done to the Mistletoe was so
serious that she sank in few minutes,
carrying down with her the mate and lady
named Miss Peel, who was subsequently
saved.
THE MASTER OF THE MIsTLEToE DIES.
1t being impossible to render further aid
the Alberta proceeded on her way to Cos
port, but had scarcely reached the Clarence
Yard when Stokes, the master of the Mistle-
toe, died. Mr.. Haywood, the owner, who
was seriously injured, was carried to the
house of the Admiral, at Portsmouth. One
of the crew, who had his arm broken, was
taken to Haslars Hospital.

SARATOGA, August Is, 1875.
The at the United States Hotel where the
Democratic State Committee met this afternoon was
very animated. Governor Tden's cottage was in a
perfect state of siege being surrounded by many of the
State and local politicians, such as James s. Thnyer,
General spmola, William Pursel, of Rochester; John
Morrissey, Wheeler F. Bristol, of Owego; Senator
William Johnson of Seneca Falls Assemblyman
Waehner Congressman Whtehouse, f. p Ross, of
Auburn and large number of editors and reporters
from all parts of the State. The delegation from New
York was quite numerous and followed mostly in the
wake of the Hon. John Kelly, Governor Tiden held
very earnest conferences with members of the committee
all the morpng and had already been visited by many Of
them the previous evening There was ofcourse usual
much speculation regarding the choice of place for the
holding of the Democratic State Convention. very
remarkable fact that could not be disputed that
the friends of Governor Tden seemed to favor Syracuse
and generally stated that the Governor himself
shared this preference This rather singular for
Syracuse has always been considered of the strong
holds Of the Canal Ring but appears perfectly in keep

appear rather doubtful that Syracuse would be the place
selected, owing the OF alarming spread of
the smallpox epidemic in that city.
STATE
The members of the committee very reserved in
their respective DISTRICTS but very evident from
conversing with majority Of them that the
feeling overwhelmingly strong in favor of
Governor Tiden and of a cordial support
Of his policy. Many of the delegates went far
declare that all the nominations of members of the
Legislature would be submitted for Governor Tildens
appreciation, in order to to him cordial support
in the Legislature, and to forward the work of reform
This may be going rather too far but that there is
desire in all parts of the State heed and defer
to his recommendations cannot be doubted for a
moment.
While it known that Governor Tlden favored
Syracuse, the Canal and Morrissey factions led by
Walsh Ledwh and Jarvis Lord rather worked in favor
of Saratoga. Mr.. Jarvis Lord however, declared to
your correspondent that he in perfect unison with
Governor Tilden that he had always cordially sup
ported him, and would continue to do In fact no
body dared to say word Of opposition to those great
watchwords that seem to have become synonymous,
