Senator Sherman and Colonel Forney ad- dressed a republican meeting in San Francisco last nigh’ The democrats of the {th district of Peunsyl- vania yesterday indorsed the liberal republican nomination of Walter B. Mitchell ror Congress. The rict is now represented by W. D. Kalley. General Dix has received the fetter notitying him of his nomination for Governor of New York, and in ae to the acceptance of the nomination said he had yet to decide that point, but possibly he should accept. "The democrats are playing a sharp game for Congress. In districts wheré they have little show, they nominate a “liberal.” In districts which they expect to carry, they take good care to get a democratic candidate.— Philadel. phia Press. The Chicago Times (democrat) thinks the result in West Virginia shows that there are eight or nine thousand democrats in that state that decline to ‘eat crow,” aud that it isno more encouraging to the prospects of Dr. Greeley than the result in North Carolina was. Hon. Henry A. Reeves, late democratic mem- ber of congress from the first district of New York, declines being consideced a candidate for congress, if becoming so, he is “expected in an degree to debate, modify, or conceal his opposk- tien for Horace Greeley for President.” A telegram from New York city says that Mr. Charles O'Conor, while endorsing the project Of nominating regular straight-out democratic ticket for President and Vice President, de- clines to be the nominee, and has written tetters to = effect to the leadersof the Louisville con- vention. A shrewd colored citizen of Terre Hante was interviewed by a Greeley man the other day. “Don't you remember that Mr. Greeley was always a warm advocate of the rightso: your race, and an earnest republican?” queried the libere!. “Yes, sah,” was the reply “and "pears tome I has read Lucifer was in Heaven once But he’s not dere now—not now, sah.” Lyman Tremain, republican nominze for Congressman from New York In a speech at Albany, Friday evening, said he was convinced that the new coalition i rapidly dying away, and that the “contest is @ renewal of the war that for the last ten years has been waged be- tween the party that saved the nation, and emancipated the slaves, and the party opposed to the rights of the black men.” A number of delegates to the “Straight-out” democratic convention arrived in Lonisville yesterday. Advices received at midnight stated that nearly all the states will be represented, and the number of delegates is estimated at five hundred. Singularly enough Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania, and the Hon. J. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, are reported among the delegates. The Lexington (Ky.) Press, a Bourbon demo- cratic supporter of Greeley, seeking to bring its Bourbon readers to his support, says: “Bat Mr. Greeley, it issaid, was the earnest advocate, if not the author, of the very legisiation which has reduced the southern people to their present deplorable condition. re thatitisso, He He has nevertheless had the frankness and the boldness to recognize and acknowledge his mis- take. He offers to make all the reparation in his power.”” A Farat Lear ov 4 Prisengr.—A man who represented himself as Henry Hegelman visited Mr. Joseph Leibstein, of Newark, recent!: said that he had for sale some property which he was the owner and whieh Mr. ib- stein wished to buy. Mr, Letbstein, after a proper search, made the purchase, and paid $1500n account. The real Henry Hegeiman then put in appearance, id the weuld-be Heg- elman fied. He was arrested on Friday % Brooklyn, and sent back to Newark for trial. He gave his name as John Vollman. Detective Corwin accompanied him to Newark on the 11:30 p. m. train from Jersey City. After cross- ing the Hackensack bridge, and when the train was moving at full speed, Voliman asked per- mission to step into the closet, Corwin went with him. Suddenly the prisoner jerked opan the door at the rear end of the car, and rushing out upon the platform, leaped to tle road. The train continued on to Newark. Detective Cor- win and Officers Fischer and Beard,of Newark, went back with lanterns, and foun‘ Vollman’s body onthe road, horribly mangled. It was taken to Newark on a freight train at 2 o’elock Saturday morning, and depossted in the house for the dead. Cot. Branton Duscan in a Ficnt.—In Louisville yesterday afternoon, in the rotunda of the Galt House, Col. Blanton Dancan casu- ally interrupted @ conversation between Gen. A. Custar and Dr. J. M.

Mr. S7 Did Stanley, Well, yes, Noe. KE returned last evening from aj FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE SAD APPATR. The shooting of James F. Clark, former edi- tor of the Manassas Gazette, in fail at Brente- ville, Prince Willlam county, Va. by Rody Fewell, brother of Miss Fanny Fewell (daugh- ter of the station- master at Manaseas, whom it was alleged Clark seduced and then ran of with to the west) bas invested the case with new interest. It will be remembered that the girl s to have been married to Clark in this city, though he had a wife and children in Vir- i that he deserted her in Cincinnati, nt rejoined her in that city after she had bor- rowed money to pay her passaze to Washington, Her friends found her in this city and took her home, and Clark, who had retarned to Virginia, was arrested and confined in the jail at Brente- He was shot in a cell in that prison on urday morning, as stated in a special dis- patch to Tae Stag on that day. m4 CLARK SINKING RAPIDLY. A special disp from Manassas, dated yesterday at 4 Information just trom Brentsvi ports that Clark is sinking rapidiy. Thomas, Mr. Feweil’s counsel, made a effort to-day to have Fewell released under a writ of habeas corpus, and Jud, c has the case under consideration.” Other dis- pat ches say that Clark supposed he had received But one wound, which, on examination, was discovered to bave pasced about an inch below the left side of the heart, and penetrated the backbone. Upon subsequent examination, how- ever, the physicians found that another ball had entered the ‘back, but sofar have been unable to discover its location. The following is the DECLARATION OF THE WOUNDED MAN: “7 was lying on the bed, about half asieep. I was aroused by hearing the room door open. On looking I saw a pistol, pointing throngh the in. side door,in Rody Fewell’s hand. I jamped up and ran to the corner on the right hand side or the door. As I was going to the corner he fired on me and missed me. I ran to the corner on the other = Ls reas galas shot at = again. I saw bim poke the pistol again thro the door, and I geabbed it. It was about the size of @ navy pistol. I tried to wrest it from him, but led. He then drew a smatlier one, and with that shot me in the breast. Just before he fired the last shot, Major Thornton came and endeavored to stop him from firing. Fewell fired four times, but missed twice, the balls entering the woodwork in the side of the cell.” The doctors are of the opinion that both balls came from the larger pistol, and not from the smaller one, as Clark supposes. MISS FEWELL has not been informed of the shooting. She has been in @ very nervous and excitable condition ever since she arrived at home, constantly re- quiring the attention of a physician. Fewell is confined in the same cell he shot Clark in. Clark, in an interview with a correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette, some days before the rhooting, in response te a question about his extraordinary conduct in returning from the west to Fredericksburg, said that remorse had nothing to do with it, but that the reason would be made known at his trial. When asked how tar west he had gone, he said be should follow the advice he had always given his clients, ac- knowled, ing nothing, bat that the young fad: sald she had gone as far as Mexico, Missouri. He said he anticipated no personal injury while in the hands of the law, and that the jailor had promised him he would admit no one into the Jail at night, and that “ they don’t think I will attempt an escape; you see there is NO GUARD AROUND THE JAIL, there is but one jailor, my deor and the onteide door, are ype or this, the chimney, out of which I could crawl were I so disposed.” He said Miss Fewell had not manifested any especial love for him; that his wife knew all about the affair, and that his father-in-law had been ready im Fredericksburg to go upon his bail bond. Clark then wrote A CARD FOR PUBLICATION complaining that he has been contined without free opportunity of advising with relatives or friends. without even a legai examination, and that be had been co! lied without defense to read denunciations of himself made to prejudice his case. He adds: “1 feel the deepest sorrow for all parties concerned in this most unfortu- bate affair, and no earthly ill-will towards any who are engaged in au effort to rivet upon me a legal conviction and to place me ina felon’s ceil. But I am not guilty of the charge against me, and when the case is fully investigated, and all the facts fully developed, I have uo fears of aconviction by ajury, if Ibave viclated any law let that law punish me through its Tecog- nized and sworn agencies. I am in the custody of the law and expect to be discharged as the law directs, and don’t ask @ discharge in any other way.” The Gazette also prints the following LETTER FROM CLARK TO MISS FEWRLL, written from Fredericksburg after he had left her in this city: My Dear Little Girl -—I got here this morning about a balf hour , and shall go out to Mr. Wroe’s to-day to see if papa is out in that coun- try anywhere. { am immensely warm, and know you are almost melted without thin clothes to we: You do not know, darling, how much I have missed you, and how much more I shall miss you before we again meet, which I hope is not far distant.

Den’t make avy exposure of yourself in auy way for fear some one will find out where you are and get you away from me. I am writing this letter very badly I know, but I can’tjhelp it. My hands are wet with perspira- tion and I can’t put them on the paper without soiling it. I hope your clothes will have come by the time I get back, and that you will be a little more comforiabl You need not be afraid, I will not forget you darling while [ am gone, for you are too dearly impressed upon my heart in ihe most solemn and deep manner for me to lose sight of you. Bless your dear little heart, don’t forget me and be snre to write. I declare Lam pearly melted. It is scandalously warm now, and everybody ts just sweating away. I shall write again so it will leave here by Sat urday's mail.

Theroom is sufficiently large for the 490 delegates said to be in to but there is not space for many spectators. T band of the 2d regiment National Guard, from Shippensburg, Pa., occupies one corner of the room, and is playing national airs and operatic selections. RUMORS FLOATING of an intention on the part of outsiders to cre- ate disorder in the convention have led to the rigid exciusion of ali but the delegates and a few invited guests. ‘The prevailing impression is that Charles O’Coner’s ietter, while declining the nomins tion for the Presidency, cogently argues the ne- cessity and propriety ot this national democratic movement. The probable ticket if O’Conor de- chines is John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, and Grabam N. Fitch, of Indiana. At 1:20 Blanton Dunean called the conven- tion to order, and at the close of his speech in- troduced Levi 8. Chatfield, of New York, as temporary chairman. Cheers followed this an- nouncemént. ——— Canterbury Cathedral on Fire, THE FLAMES SPREADING RAPIDLY.
