negro Disturl,Si,eee.

BAToNs RouaE, Junes 10. "a disturb-
ance is reported as having occurred at
Mount Pleasant, near Port Gibson, on
Saturday. The negroes, following the
example Of the whites, organized a band
OF regulators and ordered a Democratic
negro to leave the place. Refusing to
leave, he was attacked by the regulators
and killed. A constable and posse at
tempted to arrest the murderefs, but were
driven of. The Sheriff Of Baton Rouge
with q posse went to Mount Pleasapt on
Sunday and captured twelve negroes, in.
c1uding the murderers. Aparty OF armed
negroes passed Baton Rouge on the oppo-
site side Of the river, going towards
Plaquemine. When they reached Brusle
landing they were disarmed by the whites.
The SheritfPs posse in making the arrests
at Mount Pleasant report being fred upon
By negroes. Two of them were wounded
and two horses killed. ts

The zanesyille, Ohio, Courier gives the
following description Of animproyement
in iron furnaces, for which patent has
just been granted to Mr.. A, F. Cassell, Of
that place: The patent covers two kinds
Of furuaces-puddIing and heating; its
claims are economy, both Of fuel and
time, and the superiority Of the iron pro.
duced. The old pudding furnaces are SO
constructed, that vast amount OF fuel
thirty three per cent-escape through the
stacks in what Is commonly termed
"smoke." Mr.. Cassells furnace arrests
the smoke-or more properly gas-and
provides for lis complete consumption. A
system OF hollow tubes admits the air
from the outside through the roof over
the "bridge" wall and also into an air
chamber in front Of the bridge wal,
which, with the peculiar construction OF
the roof and "bridge," produces perfect
combustion, aid consequentlya largesa-
wing in fuel. By actual tests, extending
through period Of several months, in
furnaces at the works ol the Ohio Iron
Com pany in this city, It has been demon.
stated that the Oassell furnace saves, at
the least calculation, 25 per cent in fuel,
and from one to one and half hours
in time to each turn, thus redu-
cling the amount OF labor very ma
terially. The value Of this inyeu-
ton is seen in the quality OF the iron
produced. The device for producing per:
feet combustion destroys the sulphur and
other impurities, and Of course prevents
their amalgamation with other metal
an item OF immense value to the iron
arade. A word as 10 the cost. From
careful estimates the actual expense In
the construction Of this furnace, is not
to exceed S. over the old furnace, while
The saving in the cost Of fire bricks for
the "necks" and stacks" will more than
compensate for the expense attending
their construction.

The lInclnnnti Convention.

We mikht add considerably to our
notes Of Yesterday in regard TO theCin.
einpati Convention. There were several
features Of that great asscmblage and It's
surroundings, which were interesting and
profitable to study. Not the least OF
tbe,o was the fact that there were present
a large number OF persons who were ION
the make" in politics, and who were anx'
ions 10 be on the winning side irrespec.
tive OF candidates. There were men
ready to vote for Blaine, Bristow, Hayes,
Morton or Conkling, whenever they
could see symptoms Of success. All they
wanted to know was who is likely to be
the mani The Cincinnati Gazette Of yes
terday has an article devoted to this class
Of delegates. We extract from it as fol-
lows ~.
"There were there many delegates who
cared a great deal more for the spoils Of
party than for party principles, as there
are In all political conventions. TheSe
we're exceedingly puzzled as the final bal
lot between Blaine and Hayes progressed.
1t was so hard 10 tell which way to jump
in order to be on the winning side.
Nine Of the New York delegation, which
came here for Conkling, thought Blaine
was the coming man, and jumped to him.
They expected The inside track, and hoped
to seize upon the State organization.
They were a sick set when the result was
reached. Subsequently they were full Of
excuses and explanations, and some OF
them went so far as TO question the accu-
racy Of the record; but It was no use.
The chairman Of that delegation was
provided with blank book, and every
vote OF every delegate was regularly re-
corded, so the skunks were skinned.
Several Of the Ohio delegates wanted to
Jump, but did not dare TO. Their hearts
were with Blaine, while their votes were
necessarily for Hayes. One Of them, who
kept close to the tally, made signs to the
Blaine men in the gallery as the vote
seemed to favor that side, so they would
know when to shout loudest. Those
skunks we're skinned also. The sickest
man, perhaps, was McPherson, who ruled
early in the contest that the unit agree.
ment OF the Pennsylvania delegation was
not binding, several Of the members hay-
ing ex expressed desire to vote for Blaine,
his favoriie candidate. His ruling vas
appealed from, but his decision was sus-
tained. Had the unit rule been suStain.
ed Blaine would have been nominated.
On the seventh ballot the vote stood 80
for Blaine and 2S for Hayes. Under the
unit rule, which gave the majority the
right to cast the full vote OF the delega.
tion. Blaine would have been nominated.
He had S5l votes. Add to this the %
votes cast for Hayes and his strength
would have been 379-precisely the mum.
Der necessary to nominate. The way that
to the Blaine men seemed right, early in
the contest, proved at last the way Of
death, and Don Cameron struck the fatal
blow. Now the Hayes men are upper
most in Pennsylvania.

The Democratic Candidates ut
~. Louis.

The Democratic CanuluhteS Ut
St. L0uis.
The New York Tribune devotes more
than three Of Its broad columns to an
analyzation and estimate OF the strength
Of the various candidates who are likely
to come before the St. Louis Convention.
It remarks that
The roll Of the National Democratic
Convention is now complete, with the ex.
ception Of delegates from Illinois, Ar
kansas and Mississippi. The whole mum.

number to be chosen is only 10. Colora.
do will send six delegates by invitation,
making the roll Of the Convention 7SS.
As each delegate has only halt vote, the
total vote OF the Convention will be $50,
and II the two.thirds rule Is readopted as
it probably will be, it will require 246 votes
to nominate. OF the delegates elected Gov.
Tilden has reason to hope for the sup
port OF 327, or 1881 votes. Gov. Hen.
bricks has an equally good prospect for
the support OF 100, or so votes. Gov.
Alien may heCuEe tuo foAe u t"S eunaS
Al delegates from Ohio on the first ballot,
or % votes. Senator Bayard has a pos.
sible support from % delegates, III votes,
and Joel Parker will have 9 votes from
the IS New Jersey delegates. 1t should
be borne in mind that the above estimate
Is almost entirely based upon newspaper
reports. Very few OF the delegates
have been instructed for a particular
candidate, and all Of them have been
reticent about announcing their personal
preferences. A vast majority OF them
are waiting to see which candidate shall
appear 10 have the best chance OF being
elected when the Convention meets, and
they are prepared 10 vote for him, no
matter what his name Is. II Gen. Han
cock should come into prominence as a
candidate. large portion OF the votes
given 70 Gov. Tilden would be likely TO
20 to him. The tirePennsylyania del
egation would be likely TO desert Gov.
Hendricks in such contingency:
We observe by the Tfibanss table that
West Virginia Is set down as likely to
throw her vote for the "areat Unknown
This Is hardly correct. West yirgibia
is altogether likely to vote for Thurman.
Old Virginia is put down for Tilden, as
also are the following States in either
whole or partStiz: Alabama, California,
Connecticut, Georgia, lows, Kentucky,
Maine. Massachusetts,, Michigan, MINES.

WHILE absent from home last week,
we had a conversation with Ex-Governor
Straw, of New.Hampshire, who was one
of the delegates from that Slate to the
Cincinnati Convention, in reference to
business prospects. The Governor is at
the head OF the famous AmOSkeag Cotton
Manufacturing Company-one OF the
largest concerns In this country-that
employs 1000 persons and has capital
OF SS,oOooOO. This company was promi-
nent in the recent immense auction sale
Of cotton goods in New York. He ex-
planned to US the design Of that sale,
which was to establish u price for the
various grades of cotton goods, to the end
that the price Of material and labor
might become settled and adjusted to this
price, and that thus manufacturers
might know what basis they were to pro-
ceed upon in future operations. The
price Of goods becoming once fixed, by
perhaps several Of these auction sales, the
whole market would thereafter be steady
and reliable, and business would not, as
now, be done on an erratie and dangerous
basis. t1-r.a-.
The expectation Of cotton goods to
Europe has had a very beneficial effect
on the American market. 1t has really
relieved 1t OF certain amout Of goods,
and, what is more important, has stayed
British importations. Some of6ur goods
are so much superior to English makes
that they can bc sold at a profit in that
country. The cotton manufacturers, like
the iron meh, are deeply interested in,
first, possessing the American market
against the world, and, next, in securing
the Canadian and South American mar
kcts, As soon as the country gets down
to hard pan'prices this new departure Of
trade will become possible.
Governor Straw is n man OF large ex-
pcriencO and extensive travel and obser-
vatiOn, He docs not believe that We
have yet passed the nadir Of depres-
sion in business, We arc yet on the
down grade, and the panic will require
some time to exhaust itself before any
material change for the better can be ex-
pectsd. '

The moral to be deduced from the
above comments Of the Gazette is this,
that It doesn't pay man TO be fishy in
his politics any more than in any other
relation of life. The public are always
willing to pardon errors Of judgment in
politics, but they despise fishiness and
insincerity. Everybody really honors
the man who has opinions in politics
and who esteems them in his own estima'
tion as something above merchandise.

MAJOR BIcKnAM, of the Dayton Jour
nal, who was the first editor to bring Gov,
Hayes before the public as a Presidential
candidate, Is now second only in impor-
tancc to the Governor. The bands are
serenading him and the papers are pro-
claiming his virtues. 1t therefore be-
comes US to remark that the Major many
years ago used to go to school up at
Bethany, and. when therewas ssuch an ire.
pressible chap that the Faculty were
compelled to rusticate him once in the
course OF his career, in order to give the
energy otcharacter which still belongs TO
him free course to run and bc glorified.
As certain West Virginia Judge used to
say, Major Bickham is "a whole team and
a horse loose besides"

Now that Hayes is really nominated,
it seems pity.thut one Of the original,
Hayes men OF the West Virginia delega-
tion should have so sadly spoiled his
chances for some iutureiat thing by going
over to the losing side, not SO much from
choice as from disinterested view Of the
possibilities of the case. 1t is thus that
our bread will occasionally fall upon the
