dred persons, was well filed, It was hand
somefy decorated, the telegraph lines were

meeting Of the Convention the indications
we're that the contest would be between
Lucius Robinson and Clarkson N. Potter
for Governor. No other candidates are
publicly named with apparent promise Of
considerable support. .f
al 1890 O'Clock, Judge Gray, President
of the last Convention, called the Conven-
ton to order and said When the Conven-
tion adjourned all were under the impress
sion that they had nominated ticket, all
the candidates on which had accepted. In
this We were mistaken. Mr.. Seymour had
never consented to take the nomination for
Governor. Therefore the State Committee
had determined not to fill the vacancy, but
to recall the Convention. Now we are here
to fill that vacancy and no other, unless
there be other vacancies.

Railroad Condemned.

The new railroad which passes through
Just north of Earl township, Lancaster
county. Pa, has received another quietus
The officers or inspectors of the Pennsyl-
vania company have been viewing It, and
the result Of their inspection has been any
thing else but satisfactory. They have
pronounced it the worst graded railroad
they ever saw, and condemned a great num-
Der of the ties, saying they would not put
any of their rolling stock upon 1t unless the
road was put in first class condition. At
the deep cut in the Welsh Mountain, some
huge rocks overhang the road, and these,
this great corporation says, must also come
down, before they will run any cars under
them.

RntlrOud Station Robbed.

A few nights since, thieves entered the
store of Isaac Bailey, station agent at North
brook, on the line of the Wilmington and
Reading road, and stole $65 in money, q
silver watch, and other valuables. They
effected an entrance by boring through the
front door of the store with brace and bit.
The money and watch were taken from Mr..
Bailey's lodging room, and so effectually
was the theft committed that nothing was
known of the transaction until the following
morning.

an Ams,ver to a Correspondent.

NEW CASTLE, Sept. 13.
Mr.. EDITOR Mr.. Housman made haste
in the "Commercial," of yesterday, to cor
rect (?) its correspondence report of his re-
marks, made at the meeting last Friday
night. :,
1t is little strange that the "Judge"
should have ''only faint remembrance OF
fact contained in statement which he
has often made to me, in the presence of Mr..
Biggs, and which he voluntarily recited
Friday night, without missing word or
figure.
The only inaccuracy of the "Commer-
cial's" correspondent, is as to whom "the
written report" of Mr.. Meader was furnish
ed. "Judge" Housman did say Friday
night, what he frequently told me and 9TH
ers, that "there was written report fur
nished to the Board, and that figures were
made on blackboard, also." And he added
that 'the estimate presented of the whole
cost of the books was $261 .00."
This statement of "Judge" Housman was
as to the sum substantially sustained by Mr.
Herbert at the meeting. And have dis
tinct recollection that when he discovered
that the Committee on Text Books had ex-
ceeded in their purchases the estimate made
to, and approved by the Board, by nearly
double the amount, Mr.. Herbert urged me,
(then President) 70 call special meeting
of the Board to reconsider it's action in ap-
proving the bills, and to repudiate the action
of the Committee in transcending their in
structions.
l am only interested that the truth shall
not be smothered.
Respectfully, &C.,
GEO. TROUPE MAXWELL.

Porte is taking effective measures to show
it's adherence of the unauthorized and de-
plorable acts in Bulgaria. It says :
"We may feel confident that Lord Derby g

not been without effect in securing the pun

Question.
By Associated Press
LONDON, Sept. 13.-The Earl Of Derby's
speech in reply to the addresses of the two
deputations which waited upon him on Mon-
day last, on the Eastern Question, appears
to have beer pretty satisfactory to the press
and public. The agitation about the Gov
ernment's position on this question is weak
euing, though it is likely to be kept alive
until after the election in Buckinghamshire
to fill the vacancy in the Commons, caused
by the elevation of Disraeli to the peerage,
which takes place Sept. 21st, and which is
hotly contested mainly on that issue. A
Liberal victory there would be regarded as
q severe check to the ministers.
