THE VENEZUELAN WAR PLEfT. FL. 3

Much consternaton was caused yesterday after
noon by the announcement that six formidable men
ofwar armed at all points. had been deserted in mid
ocean carrying mysterious instructions one know
where, and pursuing secret mission no one knew
why. The British ship Tantellion Castle arrived at
watson's stores, Brooklyn. with crcumstantial ac-
counts of these dreadful doings. It had observed
the fleet with the naked eye; 1t had examined the
vessels with the telescope. and its officers
vinced that there more in them
than met either the eye the telescope.
Was it another fleet of Fcnian pri-
vateers We're Russian men-of-war still
cruising at large with eye to British trade !? In

and that tho Anal result would be the
triumphant return Of ex-President Guzman Blanco

mated for that post December %. Not content with
this victory the antuZmanistas proceeded to repeal

Guzman Blanco In former times and to demolish the
two magnificent statues Of that General which
adorned the capital and which shown

-
Clay County.

From all we can learn the gallant lit
tie county is getting thoroughly aroused
and that the Democratic camp fires are
burning brightly on every hill and in
every vale within her borders.
We are informed that our friends
there will nominate a splendid ticket
on next Saturday, the choice having
been virtually made recently by beat
meetings.
We have observed from the columns
of that spirited and sprightly Demo-
cratic sheet, the Echo, that no quarter
will be given to disorganizers, or to the
old time foe, Radicalism. The Echo is
edited by Major Tom Collins, who Yields a
trenchant pen, and is, and ever has been,
a true friend of the State in war and
III peace.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-07-30
The Two-Thirds Rule.

| This rule has never been recognized
in any other Democratic body except
in the national conventions of the party
and having served its purpose should be
consigned to the limbo of discarded Gus
toms. The Mobile Register gives the
following statement of the action OF
the National Convention of 1876, in re-
gard to it:
In the Democratic National Convention in ST
Louis in 1876, Mr.. Williams, on June 29, offered
the following resolution
Resolred That this Convention recommend 20
all future Democratic Conventions nor to adopt
the two-thirds rule in nominating candidates
for President and Nice-President of the United
States.
This resolution was oversIaughed by point
of order
The following resolution, offered by Mr. Web
Der, OF Michigan, was then read:
Res0lUed, That it be recommended to future
National Democratic Conventions as the sense
Of the Democracy here in Convention assem-
bled that the so-called two-thirds rule be
abolished as unwIse and unnecessary, and that
the States be requested to instruct their dele
gates to the Democratic National Convention
to be held in 1880, whether it be desirable to
continue the two-thirds rule longer in force in
the National Convention, and that the National
Committee insert such request in their call for
the Convention.
A motion made by Mr.. Burch, of Tennes-
see, to lay the resolution on the table, and
scaled vote demanded and granted The
result was ayes $50, noes 379 50 the motion to
lay on the table was lost.
We now quote:
The President: The gentleman from Penn
sylvania Mr.. Wallacel demands a division of
the question. The clerk will read that portion
upon which he calls division.
The clerk read follows:
Res0lred, That it be recommended to future
Democratic National Conventions as the sense of
the Democracy here in convention assembled
that the so-called two-thirds rule to be abolish
ed as unwise and unnecessary.
The resolution was adopted.
The Secretary read the second part as fol-
lows:
Resolred, That the States be requested to in
struct their delegates to the Democratic Ma
tlonal Convention to be held in $50 whether it
be desirable 10 continue the two-thirds rule
longer in force III National Conventions and
that the National Committee insert such re-
quest in the call for the next Convention
The resolution was adopted.
So II will be seen that the last Democratic
National Convention on a scaled vote pronoun-
ced against the two-thirds rule, and that tn e
two resolutions above quoted were adopted
without recorded division.
