luton was adopted by Tanmany to-day
Resolved, That while our constituents had no part

Page, Frederick l.. Westbrook. John ID.
Colby and r. NJ. Sheets, presented an address
to tie Democracy of the State, which was
adopted. 1t says, among other things, that
the nomination of hancock-the soldier
statesman of Pennsylvania-has lifted the
whole party above the embarrassing local and
State distractions TO a broad national ground,
and has blotted out past alterations There
is but one party, one cause and one work,
in which all Democrats should heartily unite,
and to which they should devote their ut
most zeal. Let past alterations be forgotten.

WHEREAS, The wise and patriotic action of the
Democratic National Convention, recently assem-
bled in Cincinnati, in placing before the people Of
the Onion candidates for President and Vice

tied the differences which have divided the Demo
cratic party upon national ISSUES Ia this State

ton in this State wherein all members of the Dem
ocracy Ok the State may be fairly and properly rep
resented, a subcommittee OF five be appointed by

THE TEXAS BULLDozING AFFAIR.
CHICAGO, July Odd = The Inter Oceans
Washington special gives the complete story
of the attempt in Texas to forcibiy prevent a
Republican official from making speech at
a Republican meeting. prior to which 1t APP
pears that United States Attorney Burns, af-
ter Investigating the case, declared that if the
National Government cannot protect the
rights of freedom OF speech there viii soon be
no such right tolerated at the South. Bissell,
the Republican official referred TO. addressed
Republican meeting by request in the town
of Brazoria. He made no assault on the
Democratic leaders, gave the colored people
good advice not to elect Democrats, as they
were in a majority in the county, to watch
their tickets and take them from known Re
publicans. The next day he was met in Bra
zoria by DR.. Achman and crowd OF eight
or ten Democrats and called to account for
his speech. DR.. AchInan said if he did not
wish to follow Santee, the Republican who
was assassinated on account of pol
tics, he had better stay at home.
He would be put out Of the way
if he came to Brazoria. They proposed to
have no Yankees interfering with their
county affairs. Bissel said lie had lived in
Texas three years and claimed the right OF
free speech. The crowd were very abusive.
Subsequently Josh Bryan, a wealthy planter,
called on him ard threatened that if he ever
made Republican speech in Brazoria, or
took any part in politics. ne would slide of
like Santee. He learned later that the gang
were determined TO kill him. and being
warned in time by friends went to Calves
ton. Although poor man he gave up his
place to avoid assassination. DR.. Acbman
has lately murdered three persons, and was
acquitted on the ground of insanity. The
dispatches were not received until after the
adjournment of the Cabinet meeting to-day,
consequently no action was taken. The
whole matter will probably be disposed Of at
the meeting on Tuesday next

The Narraganscff Eaquiry Continued.
NEW LONDON Comm, July 23d-In the
Narragansett investigation today Captain
Samphere, OF the steamer City of New York,
testified that his boat arrived at her pier in
New York about 10 A. NJ; had an interview
with Captain Babcock, manager of the
Stonington line, but the latter said nothing
dDDuS dSSlSli1S tIG ltsIOCi pdr5Cil5SIh All any
way, and so far as be knows nothing was
done by the officers of the Stonington line to
relieve the passengers while they remained
on the City of New York. He was exam
ined at some length as to his Interpretation of
the rules on the subject of whistles. His
ideas seemed to be clearer than those of the
captains OF the Stonington line. He gave it
as his opinion that it was more difficult to
hear whistles on the Stonington line than
on any other in the Sound. He had
experienced more difficulty in passing
the Stonington boats III a fog, because
they did not blow their whistles as often as
other boats. He knew of one instance in
which the Narragansets and Stonington had
mistaken each others signals. He was in the
employ of the Stonington line as pilot for
three years, and during that time was the
only pilot on board. He did not believe that
the 5tonington and Narragansett could have
got within two minutes of each other on the
night of the collision without hearing each
Others whistles, provided the whistles were
properly blown. They ought to have heard
the whistles from FIVE to six minutes off.
Daniel d. Rodman, a passenger on the
Stonington, testified that he saw one of the
boats lowered, and noticed her pulling around
the stern of the Stonington, and asked those
ON board why they did not rescue the passen-
be seen in the water a reply was made that
the plug was out of the boat, and she would
founder before size could reach the Narragan-
sett.
Adjourned until Tuesday.
Advance In Railroad shares.
New YoRK, July 23d-In the Stock Board
to-day Central Pacific aud Denver and Rio
Grande advanced sharply. The rising in
Denver and Rio Grande shares was due to
the earnings of the third week in July, which
were FIVE times greater than last year. The
figures are SIS, 500 for 1880, against SIT, 500
in 1879. The sudden advance in Central Pa
cific stock to-day was due to a report that the
time for the second option of $4,000 shares
has nearly expired, and Huntington would
not renew the option with the syndicate, ex-
cept at much higher price. The Southern
Pacific Railroad is negotiating with the Mex
lean Government for a concession to construct
grand trunk line railway from Mexico to
FL Paso, with branches TO Laredo and to
Mazatlan OF San Bias on the Pacific coast
a system aegregating 1000 miles of road.
