GEN. JosLPH E. JOHNSTON, in
accepting the Democratic nomina-
tion for Congress In the Richmond
(Virginis) district, truly says that
If 1t had not been for The Demo-
cratic party the South would still
be In vassalage. There is a pro-
found degree of political wisdom
In this declaration. The Demo.
cratic party OF the North has
waged an uneeasing ard patriotic
fight for Constitutional govern
ment throughout tho whole
country, for the cessation of par
tizan hatreds and the yindifation
Of the rights of man. Had it moi
been for the Democratic patty o.
the North, which counted nearly
man for man with the Republl'
ans, the South would have re-
.eived such treatment as Cromwell
iealt out to the Irish. The Demo
ratio party of the North have beel

He was violently upbraided with

over the land to the Servians. The
agitation went on increasing, find
ing vent especially in vehement
abuse of Abdunah Pasha, Mehmet
Ali's adjutant. The house se-
lected by Mehmet Ali for
his lodgings was fired by the Alban-
ians Of Jokovo and Spek. Then
fight began between the incendia-
ries and Mehmet Ali's escort, In
which twenty men of the latter
fell. Towards evening, through
the Intervention of some Ulemas,
the conflict was appeased, the In
surgents promising to observe q
peaceful attitude. About 8 O'Clock
in the evening, however, in Jo-

mained, the struggle broke out

suicide of Ar.xsnder Austin.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11.-Al.
sxauder Austin, II prominent mem-
oer of the Big Board of Broker
and ex-Tax Collector, committed
suicide at his esuntry residence at
San Mateo this morning. SO far as
he particulars have been learned,
t seems that he got up about 5
,'clock this morning, went into the
table and shot himself through
he heart with a six shooter. Mum
perless rumors are afioat concern
ng the condition In which he
caves his affairs and the causes
eading to the suicide. Austin was
imposed to have In bis possession
some $4,000 OF protested taxes
which have been held by him since
ais retirement from office. He
refused to pay the amount Into the
:ity treasury until the cases pend
ng In the courts to test the valid
,ty of the protested taxes, had been
ett.ed. Recently decision was
.sndered under which 1t became
necessary for him to turn over the
money. Immediately following
this decision news was bruited
tbout the city that Austin had at
tempted suicide at the Occidental
Hotel. The rumor was denied
by his medical adviser and
friends, who alleged that he was
,utfering from an affection of
the brain, resulting from over ex
:itement and hard work attendant
ipon his recent activity in the
stock market. Full faith was not
accorded to the explanation of his
illness, above noted, there being
quite a novel belief that the street
version Of the matter was correct.
Coupled with the previous report
and now gaining additional cre-
'ience, are many rumofs, the gen
eral tenor of which is that the
amounts due for taxes have been
dissipated by losses in stocks and
extravagaBce In living expenses.
It Is held by some that the funds in
question were absorbed in Rails.
toms failure. Whatever truth
there may be In these reports, it is
certain that. while Austin has al
ways protested his readiness to
turn the money Into the treasury
upon the decision of the suits, he
has persistently declined to state
where the funds were deposited.
A dispatch just received from
San Mateo says that Austin was IN
bed at the time he shot himself and
that no one was q witness OF the
deed.
