; Texas. The questions to come up fol
discussion will be of national import
ance, and the action of the convention
is on trial. The result is awaited with
interest, as it is thought the united
action of an association so large in
number, and representing so much
wealth, will Certainly have some
weight with our representatives in
congress.
Thu convention was called to order
at $3.50 p. m by the president. A. r..
Mccoy, who congratulated the men,
bers on the prosperity manifested dur
ing the year past, and the harmonious
workings of the association.
Mccoy called particular attention to
the need of most stringent measures
for the prevention of the burning of
ranges, both by accident and mali
ciously, and the need of more effective
efforts for the suppression of
cattle and calf stealing, and
pointed out the great difficulty in
convicting thieves. A majority of
the members of the association were
present, and sixteen new members
were admitted and four applicants re-
jected for having insufficient ranges
for their cattle. The attendance was
large and representative, and the pro-
ceedings promise to be important. 1t
is estimated that those present to-day
represented nearly four hundred thou
sand cattle. worth Sl.60O.OOO

Hendricks Talks.

PARIS, April 2.-Ex-Governor Thos.
II. Hendricks has been interviewed
respecting the Cincinnati riot. He
thinks the citizens of Cincinnati will
come to regret the event which led to
the burning of the court house,
and does not believe any organized
efforts exists to establish vigilance
committees in the great cities of the
United States. He is of the opinion
that the sensible thing for the demo-
cratic factions to do is to compromise
their differences with respect to pro-
lection ard free trade.

Aupustus Schell.

From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
Hon. Augustus Schell, who died at
his residence in New York this morn
Ing, was atypical democrat. No mem
ber of the party ever clung to its tra-
ditions with greater fidelity. The
whole tenor of his life reflected the
influence of the conservative in
stinc's of his nature. He could not
have been whig or republican if he
had tried. Always cool and generally
sagacious, invariably deliberate and
setting his judgment as a sentry over
his impulses, no important act OF his
life gave him occasion to regret the
consequences of rash conclusion.
His democracy easily broadened into
beneYolence, and he honored his pos
session of wealth by the uses which
he made of it. To all these
qualities he added a scrupulous 1nteg-
rity. He was the last democratic
collector of the port of New York,
and his administration was in most
respects an idle one. A trifiing cir
cumstance affords a good illustration
of his general probity and nice sense
of honor. He kept his own supply OF
writing materia. for his private cor
respondence, aud never used the sta
| tionery of the collectors office, except
on official business. That is a small
thing, but it gives a clear insight into
the mans character. How many pub.
lie servants in these days of official
degeneracy and corruption could res.
pond to such test? Mr.. Schell owed
his geeat wealth to a wise improve
ment of the opportunities which his
intimacy with Commodore Wander.
bilt gave him. He died worth at least
five millions, and he will have nc
more sincere mourner than the thou
sands of unfortunates whose suffer
ings his cherity did so much to relieve.
