OF the oy ssermnen; that vessels have
been hired at great expense to pa.
troi the oyster district; that very few
arrests are made, despite the great ex.
pendi.ure, and that only t 40 vessels
have ever been seized and sold. One
OF these vessels was sold for $500, and,
so far as Mr.. Campbell knew, 1t took
$500 to sell her, for no return was ever
made to him. The other vessel was
sold for $50, and 1t ,ok exactly $50 to
complete the transaction. The ex-
penses of the associs ton last year
were $S,3l2 SO. Mr.. Campbell never
knew of any fines ever having been
collect ed, and never knew of q dollar
ever having been paid into tae S;hool
Fuad.
B,tJ min Roray, Secre ary of the
Oyster Association. testified taat, al
though the association, at its annual
meet. ng, decided on rate of rs cent
tonnage, $1.s5 was really charged, and
the 90 cents excess was credited to a
seperate account for legal and ct 1er
expenses,
why did you charge that excess
aud enter the rate at $l25, when the
ass ociation decided to place 1t at 70
cents +"

what was the excess used for?"
10 maintain the rights of the Asso-
citation. The State Riparian Commis
had sold to certain parties the riparian
rights which covered our natural oys.
ter beds, and we cont: st ed the rights.
MIR. Roray said that these parties
had even armed several vessels, erect
ed fortifications at a Ger ain point and
fired several shots on threatening in
truders. but all that" he said, was
only for scare"
Mr.. Corbin here explained that the
dispute as to riparian rights had even
been carried into the Chancery Court
by the holders of riparian deeds from
the State. fhe proceedings and In.
lnctions were dismissed because OF
techhical errors.
''There is really is serious question
of law down there" he said, (which
must be settled. Senator D .ly's bill
introduced last session, would have
been long step in taat direction"
The bill Of Senator Daily referred to
provided for the State reclaiming al
the riparian rights in the st ,te.
"At the same time, +" said Mr.. Corbin

never returned dollar to the State
School Fund from Its revenues, and II
has manipulated its accounts SO as te

TUES lay afternoon, Milton Shoul-

The horse acted viciously, and did

MIR. Stiles, by some fortunate move,.

and escaped wit 1out injury, but MT

The horse came down upon Mr..

DR.. Thompson happened to be near
at hand and responded instantly. The,
man was carried into the rear room of
the Mayors Office and laid upon a set

could find no bones broken and gave
1t as his opinion that the man was suf-

Mr.. LIppincott brought blankets and

RECEPTION TO GENERAL LONG
sTREET.-The reception rendered Gen.
James Longstreet, the only surviving
ex-lieutenant general of the Southern
army, last evening by the Confederate
Veterans Association, of Washington,
was brilliant gathering of all South
erners who make their home in the
District of Columbia and many dis
tinguished southern guests from other
cities. Fully 500 persons greeted the gal
LIANT hero of many battles, who answer
ed their cordial hand grasp with the
pressure of appreeiatiye friendship.
Orme Hall, corner E and Eleventh
streets, which was rendered by the
owner for the affair, was brilliantly IL
Illuminated and everywhere flags and
draperies of bunting hung by the fair
hands of the Ladies' Southern Relief
Association Haunted their brilliant hues
and palms and bright flowers added
their beauty. Gen. Longstreet was as
sisted in receiving by DR.. j. q. Ma
loney, president of the Confederate
Veterans Association, and ladies OF the
Relief Association. General Long
street was TOO feeble to speak and Gen
eral Heth spoke for him. He paid
high tribute to the "Wheel Horse" OF
the Army of Northern Virginia and
spoke of him as saving both his own
and General Wilcox's divisions from to
total destruction by his timely arrival
of May 1864. General Longstret
made short address and the reception
closed with dancing. There were over
three hundred people present. Messrs.
Edgar Warfeld, S. G. Boush and Others
of Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, Of
this city, were present.

Committee MEETING.-The demo-
cratic committees of the city and
couuly had meeting last night in the
Market building. All the members OF
the city committee were present ex.
cept Mr.. Wilkins, of the First ward
Two of the county committee were
present, as were also all the candidates
for the House of Delegates who pre-
sented their claims before the primary
held on Tuesday. Mr.. Sweeney, chair
man of the city committee, presided and
stated that the object of the meeting
was to fix date on which the conven-
ton should be held, and also to decide
upon plan of representation IN the
convention.
1t was suggested that the calculations
made by the democratic committee be
adopted as the basis for the scale Of
vote for each candidate. This gives
Mr.. Barley 10 delegates, MIR. Bendheim
6. Mr.. May 5, and Mr.. Lipscomb 2, and
with the following numerical strength
in the convention Barley 992; Bend
helm $50; May 4S1 and Lipscomb ZIG.
These are the same figures as publish
ed in the GAZETTE yesterday. This
calculation gave rise to long discussion
and several other plans Of determining
the number of votes each candidate Is
entitled 10 were suggested, some Of the
candidates wanting the city and county
vote to be counted separately and
others wanting both counted as a
whole, but finally the committees fg
ures were adopted, which counts the
county and city as one legislative dis
trict.
A discussion then arose rs to tie
date of the convention, some wanting
one day and others another. Finally
it was agreed that the convention
should be held at Sarepta Hail at 1890
o'clock on Saturday next.
On motion of Mr.. Lipscomb each
candidate is to write q letter to the
clerk of the court giving the necessary
legal notice OF his candidacy, so that it
can be filed the required twenty da,
before the election, 1t was understood
that all but the successful cand d. q
before the convention would subs,-
quently withdraw such notice.
Each candidate will appoint his del-
egates to the convention, and 1t will
require 116O votes to make the nomi-
nation. AS neither candidate has this
number of votes at command at pre-
sent, there are opportunities for COM
binations, and there is no certainty IS
TO who will be the nominee of the con.
vention.
Mr.. Barley has named his delegates
as follows: T. l.. Cockrell, G. Fl. Yohe,
c. G. Carlin, g. W. Bontz, S. G. Brent,
H. Strauss, Frank Price, L. Marbury,
C. Brent and F. f. Marbury.
The other candidates have not yet
named their delegates, but it is under
stood that among Mr.. Mays will be
Messrs. w. F. Vincent, G. L. Simpson
and J. 3. Watkins.

Native Volunteers Refuse to Obey tho
Orders of Gen. Campos.

Native Volunteers Refuse to Obey tho
Orders of Gen. CampoS.
New YORK. May 27.-A special to the
Herald from Key West says: The most
important news brought by the Havana
steamer last night shows dissatisfaction
manifested by the inhabitants of
the Island over the order CT
Capt. Gen. Campos, demanding military
service from them in the field to suppress
the insurrection. 1t is expected that
before the end Of this week an open con
f1ict will take place between the vol1n-
teers and the authorities.
Those refusing to appear are to be
tried by court martial as deserters and
shot.
The volunteers who have always con-
sidered themselves a favored class, now
openly refuse to obey the orders.
Several stormy interviews have been
reported between colonels of Volunteers
and the authorities over the matter.
1t is declared that if the order is not
revoked a general mutiny will take
place, as the volunteers hold the key Of
the situation, J revival Of the scenes that
took place in the seventies Will be en-
acted.
The Cubans in Tampa have news that
leads them to believe General Jos Marti
still lives and will join them in a short
time.
The rebels have raided Ell Cristo. They
burned the commodiOus garrison build
ing in Moron and are within half
league of San Luis. 1t is thought an at
tack upon the latter place is seriously
contemp plated.
A flutter of excitement is noticeable
among the Spanish marines, caused by
the news that two new expeditions have
sailed for Cuba-one from Florida aud
the other from Honduras. The latter
was fitted out in New Orleans.

The Bill Passed.

A Washington young woman is going
to spend the summer abroad. She earn
ed the money for her trip by influencing
legislation, and she does not deny it.
Toward the end of the last session Of
congress a certain bill went into eom-
mittee, where it seemed likely to re-
main. The man who was chiefly inter-
ested in it was at his wits ends. He
lobbied and lobbied till he was almost
mad, but to no purpose. Then he went
to the young woman.
''See, here, " said he bluntly, 500 you
want to go abroad?'
Certainly, said she.
"WeI, 4" he went on, "get this bill
through for me, and you can go"
And she did get it through for him.
She did not use guile nor blandish-
ments. She went about it simply and
frankly. The majority Of the committee
were acquaintance of hers, and she
simply said to them that the bill was
just; that she was to 20 to Europe if it
passed, and that she wanted it passed.
The thing did pass, she is going to Eu-
rope, and it all shows that if you want
anything done and done promptly you
have to put it into woman's s hands,
