LITTLE Rock, April 27.-The Re-
publican State Convention was called
to order at II o'clock to-day, Senator
Clayton presiding. After the ap-
pointment of the usual officers and q
Committee ON Credentials the Con-
vention took q recess until 2 30 r. NJ.
Upon re-assembling the Committee
on Credentials reported all the coun-
ties but eight represented.
Judge Mcclure moved the appoint
ment of Committee of nine on Res
olutions, to whom all resolution
should be referred without debate.
X. Committees were also appointed to
select delegates to the Cincinnati Con-
vention and to suggest names for a.
State Central Committee.
Recess for one hour.
The Committee OH Resolutions re-
ported a series of resolutions, in the
last of which they declare tiiat Oliver
L. Morton is the choice of this State
for President.
u. A. Fulton, conred, moved that
the Cincinnati dele CATION be instruct
ed to vote for Morton until his name
is Withdrawn or until they are releas-
ed by Morton himself.
This met with considerable oppp-
sition.
Another series of resolutions were
offered, favoring, among other things,
specie basis, and that the delegates
be sent to Cincinnati uninstructed.
Recess.
Upon re-assembling, considerable
discussion took place as to whether
Fulton's amendment instructing del
egates to stand by Morton should be
adopted. Mr.. Fulton finally with
drew his amendment and the resolu-
tons as originally reported by the
convention were adopted.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, April %.
Mr.. Lord, chairman of the i'm
parchment managers, presented re-
joinder to the demurrer filed by VIM.
w. Belknap.
The paper was read and is to the
effect that the House of Representa-
tives, in the name of itself and all the
people of the United States, says that
the first replication to the plea of Bel
knap to the articles of impeachment.
and matters therein contained, are in
matter aud form sufficient to MAIN
tain its articles Of impeachment, and
that the Senate as Court of Ipn-
parchment has jurisdiction to hear,
try and determine same and that Bel
knap has not answered such articles
of impeachment in any manner or
denied the same. The House prays
judgment thereon according to law.
As to the first and second sub-divi-
sions of the rejoinder to the second
replication Of the House to the plea
of defendant, wherein the defendants
demand n trial according to the law
of the House in behalf of itself and of
all the people of the United States
likewise, and as to the third, fourth,
fifth and sixth subdivision of the re-
joinder the House asserts that it
ought not to be barred from having

peachment against the defendant, be-
cause 1t denies every argument in

tra<trses'tlfe acts or intents charged
against the defendant, and it re-af-
firms the truth of the latter, and

tives pray Judgment according to law.

BARNEY CAuLFIELD and his conn
mittee have got their noggins in
chancery badly. Davenport, the New
York commissioner, appointed under
the United States Statutes of III to
investigate the enormous election
frauds in that State, has got under his
arm-pits Barney's caput and is brim-
full of blows to deal out, but Barney
says he mustn't. Davenport wants to
tell all about those stupenduous
frauds, ono of the greatest of which
made Hoffman Governor in the cleo
tion of GS, Illegally. As ferreted out
by Davenport and his aids, il is NOR
ally certain that Hoffman received
thirty thousand Illegal votes, cast
mostly by Tammany repcaters. Dav-
enport stands ready and anxious to
tell all about those frauds, and to
show vouchers for every dollar OF his
expenditures In ferretipg out and
preventing these frauds. Barney and
his committee insist that he should
not tell about the frauds, but want
him to tell how he judiciously ex-
pended money, without saying any
thing about the subject matter that
he spent the money for. What a
pretty spectacle Barney and his CO.
reformers present in this thing? Dav.

Prosperous Condition OF SILK Maau..
factories In the United

New YORK, April 27.-At the an
nual meeting of the Silk Association
of America, f. w. Cheney was chosen
President. Reports were read to
show that American silk manufacture
ers are prospering and rapidly meet
ing the demands of home consump-
ton. The total value of American
silk goods manufactured i'm 1875 was
$27, ,l5S,07l. American silk ribbons
manufactured were valued at $4,SO7,-
9S5. and the value of imported silk
ribbons was only $2.9Sf27l. Ameri-
can manufactures of sewing silks and
twist are stated to be competing sue
cessfnlly with English manufactures.
In the Canadian markets steps were
taken to establish conditionary bu-
reau in this city to determine the
amount of moisture in raw silk, which
is sold by the pound and is very SEN
sative to moisture. A marked fea-
ture of the increased activity in the
silk trade at Patterson last year has
been the immigration ofa number of
so-called silk weavers from France
and England. These men individ-
ually own several looms which they
have brought on with them. They
carry on weaving at their homes, one
or more rooms being fitted up for
that purpose.

The lns peac ch lnent Trial.
SEN
WAsuNGTnN. An,

WASHINGTON, April ~.
A large audience crow ded the gall
leries to-day. AT II 80 the Legisla-
tive business was suspended and the
impeachment trial began,
Lord submitted a motion that evi-
dence relating to the question of jur-
isdiction of the Senate be given be-
fore the argument relating thereto,
and ifsuch plea is overruled that the
defendant be required to answer the
articles of impeachment within two
days, and that the House reply if
il be necessary, within two days, and
that the trial proceed the next day
after joining of issue.
Carpenter, of the counsel for the
accused, moved that the trial be post
poned until the first Monday of Dec.
next, and asked that the time for dis
cussing this motion be fixed at two
hours for each side. Request was
granted by a vote of 4S to l3, and
Blair addressed the Senate i'm favor
of the motion.
Blair argued that it was impossible
for the Senate to do justice to the
great and important question in
volved on account of the advanced
stage of the session, and counsel had
not had time to make suitable inves-
tigation besore presenting them
selves to argue this great question.
Again, the House was even
now making investigations with
a view of presenting additional
articles of impeachment, and if any
additional charges were to be made
counsel for accused wanted them here.
They invited the closest scrutiny into
the official conduct of the accused
He referred to his life and stated that
he had won his way into the councils
of the nation on the field Of BATTLE
Another reason why the Senate sho'd
postpone the trial was that it connect
ed itself directly with the political is
sues of the day and both parties were
almost committed to his destruction.
Judge Black followed on the same
side.

Good Reassas for Dying EARLY and
often.

He died i'm Fort Scott and he died so
poor, to all outward appearances, that
he was put up to be planted in the
cheapest manner possible. just be-
fore they put him in the box the good
people of Fort Scott concluded to go
through his pockets, not that they ex-
pected or wanted to rob him, but it is
the custom in Fort Scott. They found
$l 800 and clue to his identity. He
was faith doctor named Williams,
the seventh son Of a seventh son, and
his mother was seventh daughter.
There is nothing remarkable in all
this. But d touching incident con-
nected with this case came in when it
was found that they couldn't rattle
his bones over the stones under the
impression that he was only pau
per whom nobody owns. His numer-
Gus wives came forward to get the
change divided. One lives at Eudo-
ra, one is a Granger in Carroll coun-
ty, Missouri; one weeps over his loss
in Gentry county, while one over the
river, in Clay county, comes forward
to drop tear and receive soft money
therefor. They say he was faith
doctor. Faith he must have been q
good one. 1t takes a good deal of
that article to live with a woman in
this age of extravaganza, but when it
comes to having plurality we do
wonder that the doctor pocketed his
cash and went to Fort Scott to die

JUICE LOVE has been obliged to adj
jonrn the United States District Court,
sitting at Dubuque, Iowa, because the
ex-rebel Democratic rcformers at
Washington, are SO busy clcctionecr-
ing, i'm the way of running some
thirty investigating committees, that
they cannot attend TO the ordinary
appropriation bills. Only a few days
ago the government offices all over
the country were out of fuel and
lights for the same reason. A large
number of witnesses and litigants
were in attendance upon Judge Loves
court, and the actual necessity of adj
journing caused much disappoint-
ment, and large pecuniary loss to
parties.

A Row Over Tamnaany and
Anti-Tammauy Deleeafes-

UTICA, April 27.-The Democratic
State Convention reassembled this
morning and recognized Tammany
delegates from New York as regular
and gave seats on the floor. without a
vote to the anti-Tammany contestants.
The usual committees were appoint
ed and took recess immediately on
adoption of the report favoring Tam
many Hall, and the anti-Tammany-
lists left the convention.
After recess Francis Kernan. Will
lam Dorsheimer, Henry c. Murphy.
and Abram l. Hewitt were chosen
delegates at large to the national
convention. In the resolutions the
Democratic party renew their fidelity
to the principles SCI forth in their
platform adopted lS74-5 and we'll
vindicated in th illustrious ad-
ministration of Gev. Tilden.
They suggest that the nomination of
Samuel j. Tilden to the office or
President would insure the vote of
New York, and would be approved
throughout the Union.
