the crown for the removal of Judge Lawson,
which is one of the possible alternative
courses, and was received by loud cheers
from the Irish members. '.'.. -
M. Sexton attacked Judge lawson for
preventing Mr.. Gray from making defense.
The proposal of Mr.. Gladstone is simply
meant to defer the matter till Mr.. Gray's term
has expired. Mr.. Gray has telegaphed the
speaker and Mr.. Gladstone, informing them of
his commiital, and the refusal of Judge Law
son to grant him an adjournment of his case.
Mr.. Sexton read the telegram, reciting affida-
Wits sworn to, declaring several of the jurymen
who convicted Hynes, were drunk, and re-
peated the accusations of Jury packing" in
Ireland. He said, as long as the lives of.the
Irish people were at the mercy of legal chioan-
cry. no minor reforms would satisfy them.
Mr.. Gray's imprisonment, he said, was scan
dial and disgrace to justice.
Mr.. VIM. Johnson, attorney general for Ire
land, stated the details of the composition of
juries, with view to rebut the. accusations.
He declared that nothing was worse than Mr..
Gray's conduct.
Mr.. Plunkett. conservative member from
Dublin university, supported the government.
ne considered that, in consequence Of Mr..
Gray's high position, it was right that his pun
ishment should have been exampler.
The debate was continued till the suspension
OF the evening sitting, the Irish members re-
peating Mr.. Sections accusation.
AT the resumption of the sitting of the house
OF commons this evening, the debate relative
to sentence imposed on Mr.. Gray, was not re-
sumed, owing to the total absence OF the Irish
members.
Mr.. Gladstone moved an adjournment
of the house from Tomorrow till the ,Ath of
October, which was carried without division.

A MAN RAPEs LITTLE GIRL EIGHT YEARS OLD

Ell Paso, August 1.-THE Herald received
the following special to-day from Socorro:
Yesterday evening Juan Alvorid was ar
raigned before Judge Dehoum, charged with
rape, his victim being Elina Weldred, an
eight-year-old daughter Of John Weldred, a
irightfully lacerated. Alvorid was bound over
in the sum of $1,000, which he could not
give, and he was placed in Jail. At night an
immense crowd assembled around the Jail and
demanded the keys from the guard. which
were giveL after slight resistance. The pris
oner was then taken in the presence Of his
victim, who identified him. The mob then
marched him across the plaza to the rear OF
the Windsor hotel, where he was hung to a
tree. lie acted very courageously when asked

body was cut down this morning at eight

LATEST FROM THE YELLOW FEVER DISTRICT.
Brownsville, August I7.-Twenty-o new
cases Of fever were developed here to-day
seventeen Mexicans and four Americans.
There were three deaths in the twenty-four
hours ending at a. m.-two Mexicans and
one American, boy nine years old.
G. S. Smith, a nephew Of DR.. Smith of this
place, six negroes and one Frenchman
reached the outskirts of this city from Tam
pico. They have been taken charge of by the
quarantine officers.
Eight deaths are reported in Matamoros for
the twenty-four hours ending at at 9 a. m.
The fever is decreasing in that city, and there
are but few cases.

early railroad days. The Spanish theatre, on
Church plaza, is in full blast Babcock an

unusually crowded.
Brownsville and Matamoros news will

it is reported that the military telegraph oper-

fever, and no one is there to take his place

Our Convention and Its Minority.
All conventions we ever heard of have
differences of opinions and an entirely unani-
nous convention upon all questions would be
curiosity.
A convention composed Of delegates, repre-
senting a political party, come together t"
express in as expeditions manner as possible
the will of the majority, as soon as that will be
ascertained. Coming together from distant
parts the delegates, except those from the i'm
mediate vicinity, desire dispatch of business
in order to return home; and when the dele
gates coming from the town in which the con-
ventlon is held, become the element Of de-
tention they are likely to be set down upon
without mercy. This was the case in our late
republican congressional convention.
Out of 68 votes represented only 10 ballots
were cast in opposition to the proposals OF
the convention. There were present some
sixty delegates. The 10 opposition ballots
were represented by six gentlemen in the
Bexar delegation, to-wit: Judge A. J. Evans,
5. district attorney; Geo. Paschal, Esq; J. c.
Manning, postmaster; l.. c. Grothaus, ESQ.,.
l.. W. Madarasz,, and 6. w. Ogden, Esq;
six of the balance were represented by Mr.
Goshng, U. S. marshal, and four by Mr..
Loudon, representative from Gillespie. Out
side our city but two delegates were in oppo-
siton, Messrs. Gosling and Loudon. The
delegations from Travis, Bastrop, Williamson,
Nomal and Blanco were unit
Alter the convention had completed its
actual labors, two gentlemen formally with
drew from the convention, while a resolution
complimentary OF President Arthur was pend
ing. So, in fact, only two gentlemen left the
convention and signiled their unwillingness
to abide by the overwhelming decision Of the
convention, Messrs. Evans and Paschal; the
remaining six of the opposition, are in honor
bound by the resolution endorsing President
Arthur, as we'll as the entire proceedings.
The failure to force a nomination upon Gov
Davis, should be no cause for detection, and
in fact the detection that exists is too nsigni6-
cant to cause a serious reflection. We believe
our friend Geo. Paschal does not intend to
desert his political friends in this instance,
and that he must know he made mistake in
following Judge Evans out of the hall.

Truly an old citizen has taken his departure
for the land Of shade. The death OF Sam S.
Smith, which occurred last evening at his resi-
dence in this city, will more than the death Of
any other man in the community, cause our
citizens to reflect upon the fast disappearing
regime of the past thirty years. For nearly
forty years Mr.. Smith resided here and
took an active part in the business and
life of the town. He was man of
fine temper, and possessed splendid mind
in the amplitude of his great memory the his
tory Of our city and its individual inhabitants
was stored with perfect exaetness. A New
Highlander by birth, he brought to our infant
republic all those sturdy qualities that carried
him through long life of industry and useful
ness. He died In the 72d year OF his age, and
up to few month, ago was certainly the
most formidable and active public man in our
county.
In the qualities Of head and heart that en-
dear men to each other, Mr.. Smith was richly
endowed, and his liberaity as a public man,
and politician, kept him from amassing a
fortune:
He was q man Of great charity, and his
hand was always open to the poor. He never
turned his back upon the distressed, and was
a mourner at the grave of the humble and the
rich.
His life is ended.
