Finally as to the next Greenback State
ticket, Mr.. Walkers modesty seems to
have been humored to the detriment Of
the public. The ticket is to be the "clean.
est, ablest and best ever presented To the
State, but, beyond this the deponent saith
not. His reticenee suggests that most
beautiful line Of the poet, where with del.

he suppresses the title OF the candidate,
and invites the public to name not his
name; let him rest in the shade. We arc
assured, however, that "when the hour
comes the men will not be far off," and
from long observation of Mr.. Walkers
political history we are willing to accept
this final statement Of his latest and most
notable interview.

Of diphtheria in the Fourth Ward, and
the necessity of keeping up proper con-
diiion OF cleanliness in all sections Of the

any fear OF giving offence to their neigh.

ample means at his disposal to enforce
the Health Ordinance, and the other city
officers are disposed to cooperate with
him encrgetically in keeping the city in
good sanitary condition. 1t is manifestly
impossible. however, that he be made

and it your neighbors neglect to keep

entertained Secretary Sherman this after
noon. Mr.. Gambler introduced the secre-
tary who made brief address. Aitel
referring to financial matters, Mr.. sher'
man said: More important than gold OF
silver, orwheat or cotton, or ships orrail'
roads, are the rights, liberties and fran
chises enjoyed by our people. In theory
our system Of government is as free as
can possibly be prescribed. AHA free
and equal, with, no other restraints than
are necessary to preserve peace and good
order otsociety, and with equal opportun.
tiles 10 acquire wealth and distinction.
While this Is truein theory, am sorry 10
say 1t Is not entirely true in facts. All
men do not enjoy equal rights. The same
love OF liberty and justice does not prevail
in all parts ofthe country. The schools aud
colleges, which you enjoy and which are
the foundation OF your greatness, are not
established in all parts Of our country.
But other sections have advantges which
you have not. They have a far more fruit
full soil, more genial climate, and vast
unculuvated areas ready ioF the ploW
undeyeloped mines and capacity OF pro.
duction compared to which the valleys OF
Nile and Danube are insignificant. Over
all these broad regions the power OF the
National Government Is acknowledged
and will be asserted more and more with
the growth OF population and advance OF
prosperity. We all know that the busi.
ness men Of Boston and other eastern
cities have interests in every part Of
our country; that their energy and
money have aided to build up great cities
OF the tVeSt. and to extend lines OF rail-
roads reaching into every State and Terri
tory; that your active surplus population
have found homes In every community,
and the influence OF your institutions are
felt everywhere. What we desire in this
country is to cultivate the broadest ma.
tional feeling, SO that men, women and
children OF our country may 60 anywhere
within the limits ,of.the- United States,
everywhere respected, everywhere pro-
tected,s equal to each other, and,
by mingling their ideas, their in.
dustries and their principles, they
may make real Jand actual all the great
ideas OF the founders OF our government,
so that liberty, equality and fraternity
may exist among American citizens where
ever our national jurisdiction extends, and
all alike from North and South will look
on the national government as the supreme
protector and preserver OF all their rights
and privileges as citizens Of a common

HAVANA, July PA mail steamer from

She brings additional reports Of the de,
plorable riots at Portau.Prince. Thedis'

ty complaint between the Liberals and
Nationals, began on June 30th.
! During thesitting Of the Chambers par.
ty Of Liberals fred on General Caual,
brother Of the President and O member
Of the Chamber ofDeputies. The General
was not hurt, but the sitting was at once
suspended. Fierce fighting then began in
the street. The Liberals erected barri.
cades and fortified many houses. They
killed the Minister OF War, who was try.
ing to disperse the mob. gU H.
On July lst, President Caual request
ed the British Consul to assemble his
foreign colleagues In order 10 confer with
the rebels. The United States Minister
and French Charge d'Afaires only com.
plied,with therequest, the others, pleading
the risk Of life from bullets which were
raining around. Therefore the Represen.
tatives Of England, France and the United
States alone entered into conference with
the rebels. President Caual offered the
rebels full pardon and leave 10 embark un-
molested for any port they desired. The
rebels stoutly refused the conditions and
fighting continued.
On July I'd the President again resorted
to the services OF the diplomatic body.
This time the U. s. Minister refused 10 in.
terfere. President Caual thereupon sent
TO the rebels o letter, which was torn; to
pieces. The fighting was kept up all day.
On July Sd the patience Of the President
became exhausted and he determined TO
act. Cannon were placed o quarter Of Q
mile from the front OF the houses occupied
by the rebels. The first shell set fire to
one Of the houses, and at once all we're
ablaze. The rebels scattered in every d.
rection. The FIRE spread fearfully, sweep
ing away four blocks OF buildings. The
Finance Department, with all It's docu-
ments, were destroyed.
On July 4 the Liberals had disappeared
and their principal leaders had taken re-
fuge in foreign consulates. About thirteen
houses were In ashes and three hundred
men killed or wounded. Fortunately the
commercial part town escaped damage.
During the riots in the Capital, Gonaiyes,
Saint Marc and Archeaie rose in the insur.
rection, and at last accounts were in the
hands Of the rebels. President Caual has
troops to these towns and ex.
poets TO subdue the instructions there
shortly. Cape Haytien and neighborhoOd
has been a scene OF constant fighting.
Many rebels have fed to St. Domingo.
