Are Showing Ogden.
Especial to tie Democrat

BATON ROUGE, Oct. 6, $50 p. m.--In the
test vote on the question OF adjournment,
Rapides, Caddo, and some other parishes In
which o majority Of the delegates are for
Wiltz. voted for adjournment, showing that
Wiltz's strength Is greater than this vote.
The reports Of Ogden men having gained a
victory are nonsense. They have been beaten
on every motion by an overwhelming vote.
The committee on credentials cannot be
ready by Ii o'clock. and the Wiltz men will
adjourn the Convention until tomorrow on
their own motion, II deemed advisable, to
show that they do not fear the arrival Of Gen
Ogden, or desire to take snap Judgment on
Gen. Ogden, who may, If properly advised,
refuse to allow his name to be placed IN nom
ination, and as 1t would cause bitterness II
he was pressed to slaughter. This spirit of
generosity and fair play is not appreciated.

PANAMA, Sept. 27.-Gen Salon Witches,
President OF the State of Santander, has
eiIectually quelled oil communistic riots In
BucaramonRa The later data show the num-
Der killed to be confined principally to re-
spectacle foreign merchants, only Que native
merchant losing his life. Some faithful ser
wants shared the fate OF their masters. The
German consul, Mr.. Schroeder, escaped but
bis partner, MI Goekel, was brutalIy muir
dered.
The arrival OF government troops was hailed
with delight by the frightened Inhabitants of
the beleaguered city, and the fight which
ensued with the Communists ,-aS short and
decisive. 1t WAS materially assisted by cti.
zens with SUCH arms as they could obtain.
There Is a general feeling OF regret that the
leader, Coltazaes, should have escaped but
Witches has used every means to insure his
| capture, Which Is almost certain.
From the ports OF the States Of Magdallna,
and Bolivar most important increase Is
noted In the export trade with the United
States. For the year ending September, 1877,
the figures reached the respectable sum OF
S7SS23l OF, but the year following the aggre-
gate showed an advance In one year of 81, ,2s2,-
S99 r. the total amount Of Colombian pro-
ducts shipped from this port to the United
States aggregating So. OH 1870 70. From other
ports OF the Atlantic coast similar increase
Is noted.
Guzeman Blanco's movements In Paris is
| exciting remarks in Colombia. It is we'll
known that he is disposed TO contest, by
force OF arms, the question OF limits with
this republic, although the latter has ofer3ss
to submit 1t to peaceful arbitration. The
Venezuelan chief, 1t is seriously seid, has
contracted for one or more ironclads and
large amounts OF war material, In Europe,
and will make war on Colombia. The latter
has neither navy nor army, and little dlspo..
sit!on to seriously consider the threats Of
Gen. Blauco.
Gen. Ibanez, Minister OF War OF Colombia,
and candidate for the presidency OF the i'm
portant State of Cunderamarca, will leave
Bogota on the twenty-eighth for Panama,
where he is deputed to receive, In the name
OF Colombia, M. DeLesseps.
It's proposed to establish Dutch line OF
steamers between Amsterdam and Savanilla,
touching at southampton, Surlnam, Deme-
rara, st. Thomas, Trinidad, Laguayra,
Puerto Cabello, Curacao and Savanilla, and
on their return will also touch at Havre.
Definite arrangements have not been COM
pleted for the service, but 1t Is believed 1t will
be shortly inaugurated.

MEXICO, Sept. 80, via Havana-Articles Of
impeachment have been formally presented
by Congress against Gov. Terar, OF Vera
Cruz, for the part he took In the summary e1-
ecution OF last June.
Congress is discussing a bill to place the
disputed territory, which includes the Maja-
da mines, under the sole jurisdiction Of the
Federal government until the question OF
State boundaries is settled. Some Of the
newspapers fear that a rush to the Majada
mines may produce spirit Of territorial an
nexation.. Et Mensoyero calls the rush Yam
kee invasion.
The French newspaper Trait d. Union is
actively engaged In exciting the jealousy OF
the Mexicans against the aggressive inten-
tions of the Americans. When United States
Minister Foster recently went on a tour OF
inspection OF consulates, E7 MensGjero ac-
cusedl him OF going to explore the Majada
mines.

EVANSVILLE, October 3.-On Tuesday last
United States Marshal Adams went to Mount
Vernon, Ind, with an execution authorizing
him to levy upon tue personal property OF the
city in satisfaction OF a judgment obtained by
the Newark, n. j., Savings Institution against
the city for $65,o00. He was not able, now
ever, TO find any property liable to seizure. In
view Of this, steps were taken to procure q
writ OF mandamus compelling the city council
to levy special tax sufficient to pay the
claim. This fact becoming known, a meeting
OF citizens was held last night at which, under
legal advice, it was determined to abandon
the city government. The various members
OF the council then handed In written resigna-
tions to take immediate effect, and the
council, sitting In special session, promptly
accepted the designations. approved and
signed the minutes Of the meeting and dis
solved. leaving the place without any city
government whatever. There Is great specu-
IatiOn as to what the outcome will be, but the
people OF Mount Vernon are confident that.
under the existing order of things, nothing
can be done with the Newark claim.
