Serria's Voice Still for War.
Belgrade, Aug. 3O.-The popular
feeling here is warlike. 1t is generally
expected that the Porte will refuse an
armistice. The police yesterday dis
covered number of Copies of Turkish
proclamations issued Aug. 18th, invit-
ing the Servians to submission aud
offering protection to those submitting.
The proclamation declares Prince Milan
and his ministers to be only revolution
lists, and that they alone have cause to
expect rigorous treatment.
Serria the Cats-Pa,o Of Russia.
Belgrade, Aug. 30.-The keenest
anxiety is felt to hear of an armistice.
The Servian army is fast becoming a
Russian auxiliary force, fighting on
Servian soil. The Russians are expos
ing themselves in the brunt of battle
with remarkable valor. Out of 6S who
fought as a company at Alexinatz, 80
were left dead on the field. The Ser
vians are becoming jealous, and are
afraid of the Russians. They feel the
control of their army slipping from
their hands and they will joyfully ac-
cept peace if it can be obtained on good
terms.
The seven days fighting before Alex
inatz has been greatly exaggerated. 1t
is estimated that the Servian entire loss
is only 500 killed and 1890 wounded.
No lists of the killed and wounded have
been published here since the beginning
of the war.

Upon reassembling the temporary
organization was made permanent. The

cannot and dare not trust the Demo
cratic party, demand free schools and
an amendment to the constitution that
shall forever keep them from all secta-
rian influence

nent chairman. The convention nom-
mated the following electoral ticket at
large: Ex-President Theodore d. Wool
sey, of Yale college, and Hon. Marshall
Jewell. The old ticket was re-noinin-
ated, as follows: For Governor, Henry
9. Robinson, of Hartford; for Lieut..
Governor, F. ]. Kingsbury, of Water
bury; for Secretary of State, Gen. F.
A. Walker, of New Haven; for Comp
troller, Eli Curtis, of Watertown.
The platform protests against fraud,
intimidations and violence by Demo-
cratic politicians in the reconstructed
States, declares for reform in the civil
service, protests against the repeal by
the Democratic House of the resump-
tion clause, declares for generosity and
good will to the people of the South, but
protesting against rewarding rebellion
and treason, characterizes Tilden as
man who withheld from friends of the
Union his sympathy and support when
the nations existence was in peril, and
declares that President Grant is en-
titled to thanks for his patriotic services
to the country.

Rufus Peckham was elected temporary
chairman. After a brief address by
the chairman committees were appoint

The adjournment of the convention
until tonight was affected by an arbi-
trary decision of the temporary chair
men nearly against the majority, in or

consultation, and in the hope of getting
Seymour to withdraw his refusal to
accept the nomination. The Tilden
men manifested their sentiments by
feeble applause for John Morrissey,
when the name of that violator of law
was called, and the Seymour men re-
sponded by greeting Joe Kelley's name
with a startling and electric outburst
of cheers. There was no mistaking
the sigifcance of the demonstration.
After an exciting scene Horatio Sey-
mour was nominated for Governor by
reclamation and the convention ad-
journed over night.

Depot Burned.

Cincinnati, Aug. 30.-About one
O'Clock this morning the Dayton Short
Line freight depot here burned with its
contents. The fire originated among a
lot of coal oil barrels in an unexplained
manner. The building was substan-
tial brick structure worth S25, 900.
There was an unusually large amount of
freight stored in the building, princi-
pally for the city merchants. The loss
of freight is variously estimated at from
$50, 200 to $3.50, 900, upon which there
is very little if any insurance. As the
law makes railroad companies response
BILE for the safety of goods stored in a
freight house only for twenty-four hours
a large part of this loss viii fall upon
the consignees, as most of the freight
had been stored twp or three days.

presents the same firm tone. No i'm
provement in prices has taken place,
but no considerable purchase of fine
fleece could be made except at further

demand still continues for desirable
wool at current rates. Combing stocks
are offered sparingly at 40(045. Cali

~TuE SroRM.-The present storm
FROM which we been SuffLrlug. says the
Register. seems to have extended not
only throughout this whole country,
but also through England. The av.
erage fall Of snow il this vicinity has
been abou. six inches on tue level, a
fall which we arc informed. is about
equal to that which occurred 10 1852,
which caused tho great GOOD at tha,
time. This is thug to be dreaded.
especially at this season OF the year,
when the changes Of temperature arc
90 sudden, for should thcre be either u
warm spell now. or copious rain fall,
the result would naturally be very
high river. If not an overflow. 1t
would therefore be very well for those
Interested to be on the lookout.
