Peter Dick aud Charles Roads, two Young
men, clerks in store Dick in sport threw
some cayenne pepper in the face of Ro.ds,
and some of it getting in the l.tser's eyes, he

used, and Roads started to look for a revolver

abandoned this, and the two agreed, after the
customary amount of parleJi6g provided in

turbed Judge Lawson COmpII-
ments the Commission Court Jury.

LONDON, August 23.-Mr. Trevelysn
Chief Secretary for Ireland, arrived in Bel
fast to-day. The Mayor presented him with
an address Of welcome, and expressed the
desire Of the residents to strengthen his
hands IN his onerous duties. Mr.
Trevelyan, in reply, said it would
be idle to deny the existence of
personal danger in the task of governing
ireland. The remedy against outrages was
to have tribunal which could be trusted
to do justice without fear. When the Irish
people were convinced that they have a
tribunal which will give verdict according
to the evidence it will have an i'm
portant effect. Those who expected
agrarian murders to suddenly cease,
he said, were expecting impossibilities. The
fixed policy Of the government is to dis
tinguish between criminal and political acts
They did not care to concern themselves
with political meetings, but against out
RACES they were determined to wage undy-
Ing and unrelenting war. The remarks of
Mr.. Irevelyan were received with cheers
Flags were displayed on the houses and
on the vessels In the harbor in honor of the
visit of the Chief Secretary.

TEE OAKLAND TRIAL.
A strong Plea for the Defendant.

LUNENBURG c. H, VA, August 23.-The
trial Of R. B. Garland for the murder of
Joseph Addison, was resumed this morning,
After the court had been called to order
Charles F. Finch, of Mecklbure county.
opened for the defense. He began by say.
ing that Mr.. Taylor, of Baltimore, and
Judge Drury A. Hinton, of Petersburg, had
been employed by Addison's family as pri-
vate prosecutors. The speaker wanted to
know, as this case might possibly
go to the Supreme Court Of
Appeals, what right Judge Hin
ton had to come here to prosecute this
prisoner for the gold of deceased's family
for blood money. In this connection, Mr..
Finch said Judge Hinton and Mr.. TAYLOR
had right to put their legal talents up to
the highest bidders for blood money, but
this was the first time in the history of Vir-
ginia that member of the Court of Ap-
peals of the State had ever been found trail
ing its white ermIne for blood money. His
(Mr. Ench's) talents could not be bought
for blood money. Mr.. Finch read Miss
Hatchett's letter to Garland, and commented
upon it at length. He said the prisoner
had acted only as he should have done.
Lunenburg county retains only its honor
The war had stripped it of all else. The
father of the prisoner was unable to employ
counsel for his poor boy, but the wealthy
Addison family could employ a Baltimore
lawyer and member of the Court of Appeals
OF Virginia to prosecute Garland for an act
which did him honor. Looking towards
Judge Hinton, the speaker asked If he
(Judge HintoD) would have rested under
such an insult as that offered Garland bv
Addison without demanding retraction.
Mr.. Finch referred to Addison's remark
after being shot: 81 am done for" and Gar
lands reply, 81 am sorry for it, but you
brought it all on YOURSELF" aud called at
tention to the fact that Addison did not
deny this statement. After reading and
commenting on the courts instructions
to the jury, Mr. Finch concluded his argu-
ment at two o'clock. At times during
Mr.. Finch's speech, the father and
brother Of the prisoner wept freely, though
he himself was not apparently moved by the
pathetic words OF his counsel. At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Fnch's argument the court
took recess. The prisoner left the court
house for the jail in charge of the Sheriff,
smoking cigar and carrying in his hand a
button hole bouquet.
The court reconvened at 4 o'clock, when
Mr.. Clement Green, of Charlotte county,
Va, resumed the argument for the defense
The remarks of Mr.. Green frequently moved
to tears the father and brother Of the ac-
cused, who occupied seats next to him.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Green's speech,
which was an hour in length, Major Hen
derson Lee followed for the defense.
Argument for the defense will be closed
Tomorrow morning by Captain Phil Nc
Kenney, Of Farmville. Judge Drury A
Hinton will close for the prosecution. The
generally expressed opinion is that the YER
dict will be rendered late to morrow after
noon.

TEXAS REPUBLICANS.
Some Reasons for MahOneIzIng the
State.

AUSTIN, TEX, Augut 23.-The Republican
State Convention was called to order at
noon by Ex-Governor E. J. Davis, Chair
man of the State Republican Executive
Committee, who, after reading the call, ad-
dressed the convention as follows:
81 want to say a few words In addition to
what l have read. In the convention which
met here two years ago for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the National
Convention, l took substantially the
ground have in this call as
regards Independent action. Recommended
then that the Republicans IN convention
assembled in Texas should not send dele
gates TO the National Convention. / did
that then, and do it now after very mature
deliberation and after thoughtful, just, care
ful and accurate observation of the course
OF politics here. The curious spectacle is
presented at this day in all the Southern
States, where there is any
chance of defeating the Bourbon
D m )cracY by independent movements of
he Bourbon leaders and their newspapers
calling upon the Republicans to stand firm
to their colors. Applsusel. We find the
Democratic press all over the State of Texas
crying aloud: Raise up that glorious old
Republican banner and keep 1t sloft," and
they are exceedingly indignant that any
proposition should be made, such as
have suggested in my call for this conven-
tion. As far as a sacrifice in principle is
concerned, take it that the fundamental
principles of the Republican .party are sim
ply these: Equal rights for everybody in
this country. 1t is not proposed to aban-
don these"
