At the conference of prominent republicans yesterday in New York, Dr. Loring, of Massa- chusetts, offered @ resolution that it was the Sense of the meeting that the southern states should be assissted whenever such assistance Was demanded, and that the campaign should not be abandoned in any of the southern states. This was discussed at Some length, and finaily adopted. . E-Gov. Pinchback, of Loutsiana, spoke of the colored republicans of the south, and said that they had received no encouragement, a also that they had never been taught to exe cise thelr manhood. They had been told by their representatives, both white and black, that they must not assert thelr manhood, as tf Was unsafe for them todo so, The danger to them, they were told, if they did this was that they would grace a tree at the end of a rope. HON. JAMES G. BLAINE stated thatall that had been said so farabout abaLdoning the south had been said by sou'h- ern men, not by asingle northern man. ‘The first work, he thought, was to try and ca’ Maine. Ohto could take care of herself. They should also put all the forces into Indiana. Senator Logan, of I'L, and Mr. Goff, of W.Va. then made brief addresses. Ben. Harrison, of Ind., said there was not a local feud to be set- ed in Indiana In the ranks of the republican party. He declarea they would have large ac- cessions there from the greenback party. SECRETARY SHERMAN, ‘who was then called on, said that his heart beat for all those men who had carried their banner through the southern states, be they white or Diack. When republicans sent money and aid to Indiana they also did good to the southra States. We have our ups and downs, said he, in the republican party, but now the sun of Austerlitz had arisen. He referred to the stag- nation in business four years ago, but yet we geined a republican victory. The republican pas had accomplished in four years all that 1t ad promised of a financial character, and it now came before the people with the revival of these business interests, due to its good man- agement. He would give to these southern people, in districts they apy tocarry, men, ald and money. He would not waste money where he knew it would do no good. THURLOW WEED then made a brief address, in which he said he took encouragement from whathe had seen and heard to-day regarding the unanimity and zeal awakened in the cause, and which pro- mised to enlighten the cahvass and increase the vote. The republican administration of the country bad accomplished the resumption of specie payments and brought about a Condition of prosperity which surpassed any that had ever been known in our own or any other country in the world, and to that fact he looked most confidently for the election of the re- publican nominees. Too much importance could not be attached to the idea of carrying the first election to be held in any state, as this was the first expression of pub lic sentiment. He thougnt that the hopes of the party were " concentrated in the state of Maine, that state which hed given an impulse to our election for over forty years. Let every effort, said he, be made to win in Maine and indiana, and then we can attend to our own states. We republicans in Xew York know something‘of the wrongs and violence suflered by the people in the southern states, but those wrongs had been outdone the intamies practiced in the city of New Yor! Our own state was republican beyond a doubt, With an honest count, which we rarely got in New York, and the only question about the re- sult in New York was whether we should be able to have an honest vote and honest count, and in this respect our chances here were greatly improved by the fact of haying a non- Partisan board of police, in whom the counting of the vote lay. After brief addresses by Mr. Freeman, of Ten- nessee, and Mr. Jones,of {lltnois, the conference adjourned sine die. Neither Gens. Garfield nor Artbur were present at the conference. Leadville as a Railroad Center. L¥spvULE, CoL., August 6.—From present ap- pearances Leadville will soon be a very import- ant railroad center. The Denver and Rio Grande company yesterday let a contract for grading its Eagie River extension to the contractor who unl last Monday was enj in grading along the line of the Leadville Ten Mile and Brecken- ridge road. The contract entered into by the latter company with the Rio Grande people, Ere e COV Choy, its forces, has been ap- roved by the directors, and all the work here- fore done was formally tt racd over to the Rio Grande company, which has largely increased its force, and announces that it will have the rails laid to Kokomo within sixty Presi- dent Litchfield of the local Ten Mile company, who has been endeavoring to negotiate the bonds in New York for the extension of his com- Papy’s road, was at once notified of the settie- ment with the Rio Grande company. It is prob- able that the Eagle River extension will be com- eee to Red Cliff by November ist at latest. ‘he active movements in the way of railroad construction have given new life w the mining camps in Ten Mile, le River, Roaring Forks and otter points which will be thus reache*, stimulaung prospecting for new mines and the evelopment of those already discovered toa Wonderful degree. ‘TRAGIC END OF AN ENGLISH NEWSPAPER Cor- RESPONDENT.—A special from Laramie City to the Cheyenne Leader, says: ‘A man named A.
