meeting, says: "The remarkable abb
sence of men of intellectual, social or
professional distinction, which has
characterized all of Mr.. Gladstone's
meetings in Scotland, appears to have
reached its highest development at
Glasgow yesterday. Mr.. Gladstone's
effort to avoid serious discussion Of his
own plans was crowned with complete
success in his Glasgow speech. 1t
bristles with misstatements of facts
and perversion of argument; it does
not contain single attempt to Crap
pie with the difficulties Of the Irish
question"

cover a Large Quantity of Prop
erty Upon Which Frankfort is Sit
uated
NEW YORK. June 23.-A dispatch TO
the Herald from Richmond, Va, says:
Parties living in this State and South
Carolina have instituted legal proceed
ings, by which they may recover a
large quantity Of property in Kentucky,
on which portion Of the city Of
Frankfort is built. II appears that
Lieut.. Col Charles Fleming. a revolu-
tionary soldier Of distinction and valor,
was granted for his services tract Of
six thousand acres in the then State
of Ohio. After his death the land was
sold, but no valid conveyance, it is now
claimed, was ever made Ct any portion
of it. The matter has been carefully
looked into by the heirs,who claim the
city Of Frankfort is principally built
on the tract, which was formerly Ohio
Territory, and the records Of the Virgil
mia land Office in the State capital show
very plainly the entry of the original
deed and the location Of the land as
above stated. 1t is said that there are
only eight living representatives Of
the old Col. Fleming. Among them
are Mrs. J. NJ. Benson, Of South Caro-
lima; P. Bernard, of Richmond, Va,
and Miss Judy Bernard, Of ofLynchburg.
All Of them regard the result Of their
proceedings with the liveliest and most
hopeful aDticipations, as the property
claimed will amount to some $4,000,
900 in value.

an, colored, of this place, and his
whole family, consisting of his wife
and three children, have been poisoned
by drinking water from a barrel in

The Supporters Of the Morrison Bill
in Caucus.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The caucus
held tonight by the members of the
house who voted on last Thursday to
take up the Morrison bill was largely
attended, and from all accounts it was
very lively meeting.
The 6rst speaker was Col. Morrison
who said that as he had generally been
recognized as the one in charge Of the
tariff legislation, he thought it was
time for the party to take hold of the
question in dead earnest, and he then
prepared resolution to the effect that
an emphatic address should be issued
to the Democratic voters Of the coun-
try.
Among the other speakers were
Messrs. Carlisle, Hale, of Missouri !;
D.bble, of South Carolina; Allen, of
Mississippi, and others.
It is understood that Messrs Hale
and Dibble, counseled moderation and
warned the more radical Of the speak
ers that the party would make a great
mistake If an attempt was not made TO
heal its differences.
Mr.. Allen, it is said, made one Of the
most humorous and sarcastic speeches
ever heard in caucus and succeeded
in keeping his audience in continual,
state Of merriment in spite of the fiery
speeches made by the gentlemen who.
are anxious to keep up the differences
existing between the two white wings
of the party on the tariff question.
The caucus tonight is sail to have
resulted in triumph for the Radical
element, and it is expected that an ad-
dress will be issued in accordance with
the sentiment of the majority present.
However, nothing was definitely
agreed upon at this meeting. and the
final plan Of action win be settled at
another meeting and after The selection
of committee consisting of one mem
ber from each State having a Demo-
cratic representative in the house.
