August Belmont, of New York, then
obtained the floor and addrcrsed the con-
ventlon, finishing BY of..sssg the fol.
lowing resolution, which was referred.
Resol,yd. That we appeal to the honor and
manhood of the American peoP,. 20 begin
this second century of American union and
Independence by tramplng under foot and
extinguishing forever the smouldering ashes
OF dist ust, rancor, and snimosity between
the twV great seruons bt cur common COuD-
try. We denounce with indignation the
calculated malignitS with which the leaders
OF the republican party have labored TO
Keep alive through eleven years of peace
the worst passions Of civil war The Machi-
avelian motto Of the republican party has
been and is, divide the people and we shall
rule them Tor the democratic party. We
reply, unite the people and make them free.
We denennce the republican party on this
great issue as party of false pretenses. II
is false pretense TO assume the character
Of national party, and at the same time to
exist only by sectional divisions. 1t is II
false pretense to assume the name of tinion
party and at the same time to be an obstacle
to national unity. Il is 4 false pretense to
assume the name OF liberal party, and at the
same time to appeal TO the religious preju-
dices Of the people. 1t is false pretense to
clam the title Of a progressive party and at
the same time to turn the people back from
peace and the future to war and the past.
On motion Of Mr.. Williams of Ind,
the convention then adjourned until
II o'clock to morrow.

TURKISH ATROCITIES.

sarsa ~ ths rurkish rresvs.
The London Daily News publishes q
letter from its Constantinopie csrrespon-
dent, dated June 10th, giving the details
OF atrocities committed in Bulgaria by
the Bashi Bazoaks, Turkish irregular
troops. The writer says that all movable
property has been plundered, houses,
and villages burned, and old men, wo-
men and children Unfortunately
slaughtered. II is estimated that the
province, which heretofore yielded 10
the government an annual revenue OF
four million dollars, will not pay one
quarter that sum this year, nor for years
to come. The various estimates place
the number Of lives sacrificed at from
eighteen TO thirty thousand. The cor
respondent names thirty-seven villages
known to have been destroyed. Among
the refugees, the number Of whom Is
very small. there is not girl over ten
years Of age. In the village Of Serustit-
"a, district Of Phillippopolis, fifteen hun
dred persons are known TO have been
killed. This village consisted OF four
hundred houses and was prosperous and
peaceful. Every house has been burned
and all the inhabitants killed except .
few women and children who took refugl
| in Phillippopolis and some women who
were carried off by Rashi Bazouks. Theet
cruelties have made great impression
at Constantipopls and the Engliah am
basador has intsrvened With the govern
ment TO put IN end 70 thsm.
The Osceola times., 1876-07-08
The Taxes on Spirits and Tobacco,

II being generally understood that
there will be no tariff bill passed at this
session of congress, there is cool deal
of curiosity to know what will be done
about internal revenue matters, espec-
tally with regard to tobacco. The sub
committee of the committee of ways
and means, charged with considering the
question of tsbaccs tax, has prepared a
favorable report. In that report they
take strong grounds in favor of reducing
the tax from twenty-iour TO sixteen
cents, and Just here is where the trouble
comes that causes all the commotion in
the tobacco trade II may be asserted
most positively that even if the COM
mittee Of WAYS and means does indorse
the report of the subcommittee on this
question OF tobacco tax, and the house
should pass it, the treasury department
will exert its energies against it, and the
probabilities are that the senate will
defeat it by an overwhelming majority.
II may be certainly stated that by no
possibility can there be change OF the
tobacco tax at this session of congress.
There will be something done with re-
gard to details of the spirit and tobacco
laws. 1t is likely that there will be
some change in the tax on whisky, be-
cause of the accumulating proofs that
the high tax is beyond the revenue point
and has become premium on fraud:
The large number of distilleries seized
each day and the suspicious held by the
treasury department that there are an
immense number of Illicit distilleries in
operation, favor a reduced tax on spirits.
Each indication is in the direction OF
the passage of an act making con-
siderable modification in tie internal
revenue laws.

souri, asked if IL was In order for her to
change her vote before the result was
announced. The chair ruled II was.
Missouri asked five minutes for consul
tation. The tally clerks wefe fully ten
minutes comparing their figures, meah-
time Missouri changed its votc to 16 for
Tilden and IA for Hendricks Six of
the New jersey delegates claimed the
right TO cast their individual votes for
Tilden, urging that the resolution under
which they act does not bind them be-
yond first vote. The New Jersey
chairman contended he alone had the
right to announce the vote. Another
New Jersey delegate asked the delega-
ton leave to retire, insisting on the right
of individual voting. Mr.. Abbott, of
New Jersey, said he hoped that the
state would consider Gov. Parker's
abandonment as treachery. The chair
ordered the vote announced Is for
Parker. Before the vote was announced
Iowa changed her vote to 20 for Tilden
and 2 for Hancock. Illinois changed to
"A for Tilden and IS for Hendricks. A
Virginia delegate complained that he
had been deprived of his right to his in.
dividual vote by the announcement of
the vote by the chairman of the delega-
zion.
Twenty delegates on the floor at once
all striving to be heard. North Carolina
changed to 10 for Tilden and for Han
cock. Without waiting the announce
ment from the chair, the convention
arose and gave long tumultuous cheers.
For 10 minutes the excitement and noise
almost drowned the music by the band.
Various other states announced changes,
and great confusion, including Delaware,
solid for Tiden. Pennsylvania moved
to make it unanimous. Finally the vote
was announced as follows: The vote on
the second ballot was 1888 necessary TO
a choice, 492; Tilden had 535. Hen
bricks 60, Allen 81, Parker IS, Hancock
SO. Bayard IL, Thurman 2.
Indiana seconded Pennsylvania mo-
ton to make the nomination unanimous,
and il was adopted.
A motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock
tomorrow was carried at 20 minutes
past 8.

THIRD DAY.

The convention was called to order at
1920 this morning. The interest is evil
IDENTIFY greatly abated and many delegates
have left for home, leaving their altern-
ates. The galleries contain but few
spectators. Prayer was offered by Epis-
copal bishop Robertson.
The chair announced as bushes the
nomination of vice-president. When
Indiana was called for its nomination the
state was greeted with much enthusiasm.
Indiana failing to present a candidate,
some one in his seat in the Illinois dele
CATION nominated Hendricks, when Mr..
Mcdonald, of Indiana, rose and said that
the candidacy of Mr.. Hendricks was
ended yesterday. Indiana bowed to the
decision yesterday in favor Of another
nominee; but they had no authority
from Mr.. Hendricks TO accept the nomi-
nation for him to the vice-presidency.
Indiana would do its duty, but he i'm
piled doubts of the result in Indiana. The
convention must take the response

Mr.. Hardin, of Missouri, offered res.
olution that it is the duty of this con-
vention to select for vice-president one
who is the peer of the presidential nomi-
nee, and believing Hendricks to be that
man it is his duty 10 party and country
TO serve, and we hereby nominate
him.
Mr.. Brown, Of Tennessee, seconded Mr..
Hendricks nomination, which, he said,
would enable them to carry his state by
fifty thousand.
The delegates insisted on finishing the
rollcall, which proceeded amid confu
sion.

country where the iron trade was in q

iounderies about fifty feet long by thirty
feet wide, where they frequently got one

of metal in a single smelling. Here he
saw pieces of iron worked simply by the
hammer and nodded into various shapes
including the human form, as completely
finished as if manipulated by the most

A sleepy Campaign.

Everybody is complaining OF the apathy
of the politicians and the general dulness Of
the campaign. In Indiana and Ohio, we
are told. the Republican National Committee
is scarcely turning its hand over to secure a
party victory that would settle the Presiden-
tial contest in advance. The democrats are
accused of supinene $ in this State. whose
electoral vote is admittedly necessary to that
side, at least II the democracy is to succeed
in the nation. Their State ticket is wander
ing about, on unnatural object. withou: u
head and with IN ill-balanced and weak
body, although we are within two months of
the Presidential election. There are no log
cabin and hard cider meetings, no Wide
Awake or Little Giant nothing,
in fact, to indicate that two great parties are
engaged in struggle for the enormous
patronage and tempting pickings Of the
national government for the next four years.
Probably the principal cause Of this appar-
ent indifference is the lack of magnetism in
the candidates Very few people know any
thing about Hayes. and very few people say
anything about Tiiden. Neither candi-
date is what is called n popular
MAJ. The republicans might have warmed
toward Blaine, ind the democrats toward
