Democratic Convention.
RooMs DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL CoM., LITTLE RocK. March 20, 1878.

s a4
 At meeting of this committee, held pursuant to adjournment in the City of Little Rock, March 20, l 1878, it was resolved by the commit tee that Convention of the Demo cratic party of the State of Arkansas be called to assemble at the City of Little Rock, on Thursday, the 4th day of July, 1878, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the State offices to be voted for at the general election to be held on Monday, the l 2d day of September, in said year, and for the transaction of such other business as may be deemed advis- able.
 It was resolved by the committee l that the basis of representation in said Convention, and until said Con- vention may otherwise oider- shall oe one vote for each 400 votes, and one vote for such fraction over 200 votes, as cast for William R. Miller, l candidate for Governor at the last election, held on the 4th September, l 1876.
 And inasmuch as It has been the practice heretofore to send from the counties adjacent to the place of holding the Convention large num- bers of delegates, who, by the moral weight of their numbers in. excess of the votes to which they arc entitled, give advantage over the distant coun- ties in the choice of candidates, and thereby produce confusion in the Convention and want of harmony in the party, it was resolved by the committee that the number of dele gates allowed to the several counties should be limited to the number of votes which they are entitled to cast in the Convention; in compliance with which action of the committee, I hereby announce that the Demo cratic State Convention, at the time named by said committee, to wit, the 4th day of July next, will meet at the city of Little Rock, and, upon the basis established above, the sev- eral counties will be entitled to the number of votes and delegates fol lowing, to-wit:

Abandoned at Sea.

At all times ships of one kind or another are floating about at sea, abandoned by officers and crew, in what seems hopeless condition. Some are dismantled and mere hulks, some are swimming keel upwards, some are water logged, but being laden with tim Der will not sink, but are driven hither and thiiher as the wind and waves may direct. So people afflicted with catarrh, bron- chitis, and consumption, are aban- doned by physicians and friends as incurable, yet thousands of such are annually restored to perfect health by the use of Dr. S.ge's Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The Catarrh Remedy is unequaled as soothing and healing local application, while the Discovery purifies and enriches the blood and lmparts tone and vigor to the whole system.
 yIDoLIA, LA, April IT, 1877. DR. PIERCE:
 Dear Sir--I suffered for twelve years with that most offensive and loathsome of all diseases-catarrh. My ta te and smell were completely destroyed. 1 procured supply of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and your Golden Medical Discovery, which l used according to directions, and a complete and permanent cure was speedily elected. I take pleasure in recommending them to all afilict- ed. Ever thankfully yours,
 CLARA E. HUNT.
 WADING RIVER. N. J., Feb. 2S, TT. Dr. PIERCE:
 Dear Sir-Your Golden Medical Discovery is the best medicine for coughs, colds, and consumption, l ever knew. It has saved my life.
 Respectfully yours,

Chicago COunterfeiters.

National Associated Press to the Star.
CHICAGO, ILL, March 20-The Govern
ment detectives of this city for some time
past have been aware of the existence of a
gang of counterfeiters of silver coin, halves,
quarters and ten-cent pieces, but for some
reason the parties could not be arrested.
Their coins have been scattered throughout
the city in great profusion, and operations
had reached to outside cities also. After
much careful wa. ching and waiting Detec-
tive Tyrrell succeeded in capturing several
of the gang, and with them dies, metal and
quantity of spurious coin were taken.
The evidence against them is so straight
that they can hardly escape conviction.
Their names are not yet learned They are,
it is believed, all Chicago parties, having at
a former period been engaged on the police

Local mention was made in yesterdays
issue of the death of Mrs. Grace A. EyanS
wife of Charles H. Evans, principal of ths
Third District School in this city. Her re
mains were taken by the early train this
morning to be inferred at Springfield, 0.
The writer was for many months mem
Der of Mrs. Evans family and can speak
from personal knowledge of the personal at
fractions and character of this noble
Christian woman. Her virtues were pecuE.
arlly those which make happy home. a
loving self-sacriticing wife and mother
She was the niece of the great chieftaiR,
Stonewall Jackson, her mother being an
own sister of General Jackson. But this fact
was seldom discovered, and only known to
intimate friends, for in her modesty it wx
never paraded, and though she has lived,
suffered and died in this great city, very few
knew that in their midst was a heroine of
the late rebellion. For, Notwithstanding
her uncle, and father and most of her rela-
tives were rebels, she, with her mother and
younger brother, were true to their priRcs-
pies and the Union, and assisted and cared
for many boy i'll blue, one of whom slls
finally married, Major G. III. Evans
Her mother Mrs. Arnold, was at hcf
bedside Her last moments were remarka-
BILE for the victory, which through her
Christian faith she gained over death and
the grave. They were moments of triumph
ant rejoicing.

Late Irish News.

From late Dublin and Cork Exchanges1
The Death of McCarthy-Mr. OConnor
Power, M. P, on Monday accompanied Sir
]. T. Ingham, the chief Magistrate of Bow
street, to Chatham Prison, in furtherance of
the inquiry ordered by the Home Secretary
into the alleged treatment of the Color
Sergeant Mccarthy The Hon. gentleman
inspected the cells in which the deceased
Fenian prisoner was confined, and also the
inclined plane up and down which it is al
legged he was compelled to carry heavy loads
while suffering from heart disease. Mr..
Power was subsequently present at the ex-
animation of witnesses by Sir James Ing
ham, but did not put any questions.
Irish Education-Cardinal Cullen has is
sued pastoral letter on the subject of edu-
cation. Referring to the declared intention
of the Ministry to introduce this year bill
on intermediate education in Ireland he
says 1t is to be regretted that her Majesty's
advisers have not undertaken to redress our
many grievances in every branch of educa-
ton, primary, intermediate, and university;
but it is to be hoped that at any rate in the
one department for which they propose
to legislate they will bring forward some
substantial means more capable of restoring
in no small degree the rights of which we
have been unjustly deprived, and of giving
to us that equality in educational matters
which our non-Catholic fellow-subiects so
long and so systematically refused" The
national system, the Queens Colleges, and
Mr.. Gladstone's University Bill are de-
nounced in the pastoral as dangerous
snares laid for the faith of the children of
Catholics"
The Lord Mayors Banquet-The Lord
Mayor of Dublin's banquet was held on
Tuesday night, when five hundred were
present. In proposing the toast of 'The
Queen" the Lord Mayor referred to the
death of the Pope describing him as having
been charged with the government of the
Universal Church. The speech of the Lord
Lieutenant was almost entirely statistical,
and had reference to poor laws, crime, and
education. He admitted that last year
things had not been so prosperous as before,
but nevertheless he believed the progress of
the country to be steady. In respect even
of drunkenness, the Irish statistics COM
pared favorably with those of England, and
he hoped moderate measure would be
passed in restraint of that vice. The en-
couraging circumstance of year of de-
preston was that the poorer classes had in
creased their deposits in the Government
savings banks. His Grace abstained from
any reference to the national crisis, but the
toast of "The Queen" was received with
marked enthusiasm, the company cheering
again and again.
