Mooney turned around and threw
Paulson half across the shop. Bur
roughs hit Mooney with his fist and
knocked him down, but he was up
again In an instant, glazing about for
some weapon with which he might
strike death blow. By this time the
convicts in the shop were IN fever of
excitement and half dozen OF them
made rush for Mooney. Burley, a
negro convict, picked up stick of
wood with which he dealt Mooney a
fearful blow on the head, bat it did
not stagger him. The two convicts
clinched and fell, the negro being on
top, with his hands clinched about
MONEYS neck. 1t was all the guard
and foreman could do to keep back
the other convicts, who were dying to
get at Mooney, and If they had been
allowed to reach him they would I'M
doubtedly have taken his life, as the
convicts In the wire mill most thor
oughly detest Mooney for the murder
of his inoffensive cell mate, Anderson.
The negro came pretty near ending
Moneys career by choking him, but
the officers pulled the negro off and
took Mooney TO the solitary, where he
was thrust into a cell. Before reach.
ing there, he was loud in his threats
against the life of Burroughs.

The County Republican Committees Of the sew
eral counties will proceed 10 call County Conyen-
tions in their respective counties and elect dele
gates and alternate delegates from each Of said
counties to the Territorial Convention above
designated.

ventions be given. The Territorial Republican
Committee respectfully recommends that the said
County Conventions be held early in September,
but such date should be fixed therefore Ne, after
giving due notice TO the Rspublicans OF the coun-
ties, viii be most convenient
II Is presumed that the custom heretofore pre-
vailing 10 the several counties of the territory
whereby delegates to the Territorial convention
are elected from the respective eoun les by the
conventions which assemble 10 nominate county
officers will prevail during the present year
To the end that all counties in the territory, re-
mote from near to the place Of holding the Ter
riorial Convention, shall have opportunity to be
represented therein fairly, and to prevent any ex.
traneous interference with the deliberate desires
OF the Republicans Of each county, the following
rules have been prescribed BY former conventions
for the government Of the Republican Territorial
Conventions In the territory OF Montana:
l.-Delegates and alternate delegates shah lie
elected in the future to Territorial Conventions,
and In the event Of the failure OF delegste TO at.
tend the alternate delegate shall cast the vote OF
the delegate whose alternate he Is.
AIN the absence of delegate and his alternate
o majority OF the delegation from that county
shall east the vote OF the absentee.
SIN the absence Of all the delegates and alter
nate delegates from any county, no vote shall be
Ain the county in which the Territorial Con-
venton shall be held. when any delegate and his
alternate delegate absent there shall be- no vote
cast in their half.

Mr.. GLADsToNE's pamphlet on the
home rule question ends with a post
script dated August 22nd, which is an
expression of his views on the an
nounced policy of the Salisbury gov
eminent. He says the abandonment
of the coercive policy favored by them
in January is marked sign of prog
ress, but on no other head is there
cause for congratulatioD. The refer
ence to the commissions of inquiry of
many subjects ripe for treatment is a
policy of almost indefinite delay.
While the appointment of a commits.
sion to ascertain whether the rates of
judicial rents are such as can be paid
is marked encouragement to remis-
sions of rent and powerful stimulus
to evictions. The project of imposing
on the state the payment of the money
required To meet the difference be-
tween the actual rents and wha. the
land can fairly bear is an act Of rapine
upon the treasury Of the country.
Notwithstanding the greatest evil of
Ireland is that its magisterial and ad-
ministIative systems are felt to be
other than Irish, no proposal is made
for the reconstruction of what is
known as the Dublin castle govern
ment. The proposal to spend large
sums of public money on public works
of all kinds for the material develop
ment of Ireland under English au-
thority and Dublin castle administra-
ton is unjust to the British taxpayer,
and an obvious attempt to divert the
Irish nation, by pecuniary induce
ment, from its honorable aim of ma
tional self-government, and will as
such be resented. The limitation of
local government in Ireland to what
may be desired for Great Britain, is
just to none of the nationalities, rests
upon no recognized principle and is
especially an unjust Limitation of the
Irish national desire. In his opinion
such policy for dealing with the
Irish people ought not to be and can
not be adopted.

MIKE MOONEY, known as the Pri

MIKE MOONEY, known as the Pris-
oner Jumbo. created whirl OF excite
ment in the prison wire mill at Joliet
Thursday afternoon, by making a
murderous assault upon a foreman
named George Burroughs. The des-
perate murderer has been watched
very closely by the prison officials,
since his return to prison on life
term for numbering his cell mate,
John Anderson. Mooney seemed to
attend closely to his work until he
was reprimanded by Foreman Bur-
roughs for not keeping up fires in the
annealing furnace, IL being Moneys
duty to stoke the furnace with Il long
iron poker and keep the wire red hot
When spoken to by Burroughs the
desperate quickly drew his poker
from the furnace and attempted TO
drive the point OF the hot iron into
the body of the foreman. Burroughs
saw the danger just in time to ward
off the blow by springing to one side,
and fed down the shop for his life,
with the giant Mooney and his toast
ing fork In close pursuit. Burroughs
sprang through side door, out of the
devilish convicts reach, Mooney at
tempting to follow, but officer Pettis,
shop guard, made grab for the stok-
ing iron and succeeded In wrenching
1t from the desperate mans hands.
Mooney then turned upon the guard
and struck him several blows on the
head with fish bar. Superintendent
Paulson came up behind Mooney and
attempted to pinion his arms, but

WASHINGTON Letter.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE
Washington, October 5, 1856


At last the public mind is relieved of
the responsibility Of deciding whether
or not Secretary Manning will resume
his duties. After every one has been
bordering and discussing the question
for Elk months. and re-enumerating the
reasons why each course should be
pursued, Mr.. Manning it is reported,
has finally settled the matter by quiet
" saying that he will return to WASH
ington and to ms office in few days
In physical appearance he seems to be
in as good health as he was when he
undertook the management Of the
Treasury Department; and his slight
limp is the on y sign Of his recent ill.,
ness. Still, as it is feared that the re-.
sumption of his duties may bring on
another attack (anl Il second would
probably prove fatal he will begin his
work very gradually, and incur no
risks. At first he will coniine himself
merely to general supervision of the
department. He will attend Cabinet
meetings to give the Administration
the benefit of his advice, and will
leave the burdenSome responsibilities

it is only trial, but it is believed that
he will remain in the Cabinet until
Congress meets, even if he does not
longer.
The White House is again without a
lady at It's head. Mrs. Cleveland has
been in Buffalo for several days. and
Will return during the week. The
President consoles himself in his lone
illness by working hard, He IS very
busy now, investigating the cases Of
Federal Office holders who have dis
obeyed the order directing them not to
take amy part in political meetings.
There have been not few violations
of this rule, ard the President, in
speaking Oh the subject, expresses him
self with great Indignation.
Washington has improved very much
during the summer. A force of work
men have been occupied putting the
Capitol building and grounds IN order
ever since Congress adjourned. New
trees and shrubs have been planted,
and new walks have been laid IN the
beautiful parks, the American "Champs
d Elysees, that surround the build
ing. The latter has been painted with.
in and without, and now, fresh and
beautiiied, it is almost ready for the
reception Of our lawmakers. The
smooth green terraces, which formerly
surrounded it on three sides, are given
pace to superb marble porticos, winch
will add greatly to the imposing effect;
and the proposed grand staircase on the
west front will be another great i'm.
provement. The Capitol, in fact, is
turned the wrong way. 1t was built
f'cing the east, but when Pennsylvania
Avenue whs stretched out in a north
westerly direction, and the Executive
Mansion built at its other end, all the
elegant and fashionable homes at once
sprung mp in that section of the city,
towards which the Capitol had isno
,niuiou:ly turned its back. 1t is in
