NOTWITHSTANDING the very able
andeloquent defense made by VOORHEES,
for Mckee, the jury have convicted
that very distinguished member of the
ring. Our dispatches indicate that
this severe blow strikes CONSERVATION
to the heart Of Babcock and his friends.
The lightning is surely striking to
some purpose.

Horace Greeley's Grave.

Greenwood Cemetery just now is very
beautiful. A few trees show the tints of
autuma on their foliage, but for the most
part everything is green yet, and in many
of the lots there is fine show OF gerani-
ums, petunias and other brilliant colored
flowers. and in not Q few there 10 good
fall show of perpetual roses. One object Of
interest is the grave Of Mr.. Greeley, which
mas at last been marked by suitable
monument, although the work is not quite
completed. The monument is Q massive
square column, probably of the granite of
his native State, with plow sculptured on
one side, and . pen and . sheet Of paper on
the opposite. The two chief faces Of the
monument are not yet completed, the place
for the inscriptions being still unohiseled.
The monument is ON the top Of . fine knoll,
and is surrounded by . circular fence OF
hewn stone. Everything is plain and cub.
stantial, but in good taste. The visitor
wishing to see the grave should, ON enter
ing the gate Of the cemetery, turn to the
right and follow Landscape avenue till be
reaches Oak avenue. A tew yards dowr
that avenue, On the right side, will bt

Tho Late X, H. Rhett. Sr,

A dispatch from New Orleans, under
date of the fourteenth, announces the death
of Robert Barnwell Rhett, Sr., which took
place at st. James parish, Louisiana at the
advanced age of seventy-tive years.
To many of our readers the name Of Mr.
Rhett will seem like ghost evoked from
the dead past, SO long ls it now since it was
associated with some OF the most stirring
events of our political history To the sur.
vivOrs of q p.sr generation 1t will recall the
times of Calhoun and the nullifcstiOn
efforts of South Carolina under that great
leader, and later that thrilling scene in the
Secession Convention, when the form of
Barnwell Rhett was seen to approach the
desk to affix mis- signature to the fatal and
fated instrument. As be approached the
desk he sunk upon his knees and uplitted
his hands to Heaven, and for moment
lowed his head in prayer. By common
instinct all parties arose, every head was
uncovered, and the president of the assem-.
bly, addressed the shrine of grace.
Mr.. Rhett was born in Beaufort. South
Carolina, on the twenty fourth Of Decem
Der, 1914. His family anne was Smith, aud
by that he was known until 1897, when he
assumed colonial ancestors title Of Rhett
He was q lawyer, and duritg g the nullitica-
most violent filed the Office of Attorney
General of South Carolina From 1886 to
l849 he represented the Beaufort district in
Congress-, and in 1850 was elected to the
Ualted Srates Stnate. He advocated the
doctrines of Calhoun, and was the first to
breathe on the floor of Congress q PROPOSE
ton to dissolve the Union. He was for the
secession of South Carolina in 1872.
Upon the death OF his wife, in 1852, he re-
signed his seat in the senate and returned
to his Beaufort plantation, where he on.
gagged in preparations for the secession
movement in case OF Lincoln's election. he
was q leading member OF the South Carolina
Secession Convention in 1860, and wrote
the address declaring the reason for the &C.
ton of the State In the Montgomery con.
ventiOn of delegates from the seeded
States he was chairman of the committee
which reported the Confederate oOnstitu
ton. Finally, he became the owner Of the
Charleston Mercury, which during the wal
was conducted by his son, Robert Barnwel
Rhett, Jr and which was one of the most
untiring and able supporters Of the Confed
eracy during those long and bloody years
Upsn the termination of the war he retired
into obscurity go profound that the grea,
mass of people will doubtless be surprised
that he lived 40 long.
With his death disappears, perhaps, tn,
last survivor of those statesmen OF the OK
treme Southern rights school, which uudel
the leadership of Calhoun shook the Unios
to the centre, and whose efforts resulted il
the DISASTROUS war Of the Confederacy.-

Reaistration Cases.

United States Commissioner Southwofth
yesterday disposed of the case Of Antonio
Znico. This man came to the country, &C.
cocding to his own testimony, in 1862; does
not speak English. but understands some
thing Of it when be hears it. He was given
a certificate of naturalization from the
Sixth District Court, September 2, 1876, as
a minor, under eighteen years Of age. His
description of tho manner this was issued,
the tru,h of which was not disputed, is q
damaging commentary on the manner nat
uraliz alton is carried on. He said he was
taken to an Office lthat of the clerk of
COURT q book tprobsbly the Bible) placed
in his hand, some words spoken to him. sim
liar, as he said, to those used by the COM
missioner to witnesses, and he was then
directed to put the book to his mouth. He
was asked no questions, and told nothing.
When he came hero he left . wife and child,
and If he had been aeked, would have said,
that instead of being . minor he was twen-
ty-seven years old. When he received his
naturalization papers. which he identified,
he was Immediately taken away to the reg
istration office. Here was . man made to
commit perjury without knowing what he
was about, but the only thing the commits
siouer could do was to hold him, under
bonds, that the Circuit Court might settle
his csss.
Seventy more warrants have been
issued.
Two cases are to come up Thursday.
That of Jacob Holt is under section. 5426
Revised Statutes, for registering under q
forged certificate of citizenship in the four
teenth ward. That of Pat Hennessey, of
the fourth ward, is for making oath to be-
ing twenty-one years OF age when he was
but twenty, as shown by his certificate of
birth.
There is a cessation of business for the
mutual accommodation Of counsel, " no ali
seem to have business at the primary
elections.
1t has been represented TO Judge South
worth that his decision, published in the
REPUBLICAN Saturday morning, is toe
broad, iuasmuch a. it gives supervisors toc
much latitude in questioning applicants fol
registra tien as naturalized citizens. By
consent of counsel the case will be reopeneG
for argument and heard on Thursday
Hon. j. w. Gurley will present the cast
for the United States and Judge NJ. A

DEMOCRATIC PARISH CONVENTION.
Second DaY.

Second Dav. .
This political body held its second ses.
sion yesterday, but as the committee on
credentials was unable to make report,
the convention simply mot and adjourned.
There was large attendance Of aepirants
for Office, and their friends swelled the
rsnks to . quorum. Buttonholing was in
order, and that business was reduced to q
science Delegates we're in great demand,
and some of them stood 60 high that ordi.
nary people coald not possibly reach them.
Nothing less than the prospect of great
things could possibly bring them down to
their lovel.
All sorts of rumors and conjectures were
made % to what the committee on crenden'
tisls would, could or should do, but the
members Of that body divulged nothing up
to noon. The fact that further time was
asked to make report was construed
as meaning something favorable for con,
testants.
Mr.. Bell, temporary chairman. called the
convention to order at half-past twelve
O'clock. and made . point to remind the
mem bers that hereafter they must behave
themselves much more orderly than they
did ON the first day. This, of course, means
that the members did not act as decorously
a. might have been last Monday.
Pending the committee work, both mem
bers and candidates stand somewhat neu.
tral, they fearing to make advances. The
members whose seats are contested are not
willing to make too many promises, fearing
that if ousted they will be worthless; per
sons seeking their support are ebay Of
aaking much, yet dare not pass them by
without saying, "tske . drink e.
Nobody seems to a. yet take much inter
est in the proceedings of the committee on
permanent organization, that matter being
altogether secondary.
Up to tho present time all is conjecture
and when one Of the knowing fellows tella
you something, first drawing You away
from the crowd, tell Linn that You under
stood that long before the convention WA
convened; that will disgust him.
Long after the adjournment yesterday 8
large crowd hung around the State House
discussing probabilities.
There is little expectation that the com
mittee on credentials will be prepared Il
report today, and the general suppositiol
is that the entire week will be taken up il
contention.

The audience was patient, though startled
sometimes by the unexpected discharge of
. twelve pounder, which is said to inva-
riably accompany this Democratic staff,
feeling certain of relief when the signal0for
dinner was given. This occurred at four
o'clock. and in ten seconds everything was
carried from the table, the colOred people
going for and getting most of the meat,
for that has been very scarce lately, wages
being low and not promptly paid. the
ladies left at this point of the proceedings.
The eatables being disposed of so quickly,
there was more time for speeches.
These were given with some more can
non. In this parish every facility for join
ing Democratic clubs has been afforded the
colored voter, and out of 5000 seven are
said to have enlisted. 1t is, however, a
sure thing that four OF them will vote the
Republican ticket.

others, is announced to be there October /,
