Of course, a8, We were the weaker of the two partes, the probl- Ditionists Would not like to take their ‘nomibation second-hand from us. Our convention, however, Showed its desire to work in harmony’ with the Provibitionists by —appolnung a fraternal committee to visit them at Pittsburg. Our couunittee Visited Pittsburg and intimated our preference for St. John. Whether that had any iutluence or not, T don’t know, but St. John was hoiinated. Now our convention authorized its na ‘Uonal committee to AU any vacancies that might occur. Messra. Pomeroy and Conant will present letters to the committee, recoinmending that the Party support St. Johu uid Daniel, and expressing: thelr own willingness to witadraw. ‘This propos Uon will, undoublediy, meet with opposition from the radical members of tue parts “When will your national committee meet?” “In about two Weeks, elther here or in Chicago.” “Do not the principles of the party differ consid- erably?” asked the r-porter, “They are united in sentiment upon the temper- ance question,” said Mr. Balley, ‘and upon she question of tari, or finance, boil parties favor a conservative course. Both favor civil service re- form, but the prohibitionists do not adopt the anu- Masonic features of the American party. But we ‘Will Support the men and not their paity.” Is St. John regarded as an antl-Mason?” He bas Deen a Freemason,” sald Mr. Bailey, “but Las not, as I am informed, attended a loagé Meeting for i7 years, He 1s, 1 dm told, practically with us in sentiment, though he has never made an issue of the matter. If te proposition prevalls,” sald Mr. Balley, “we will have a prohibition head- quarters here as well as our own.” ‘Mr. Bailey expressed the opinion that the American party could do more effective campaign work sup- porting St. John than by running an’ independent Ucket. He thought that in Tliinots, Kansas, Micht- fin, Jowa, Onlo,and espectally in Thdiana,the com ined parties Would greatly Jeopardize the republl- ean chances of success and aid the democracy. “Nearly all the prohibition vote,” sald Mr. Bailey, “1s drawn from the republican party. Now, if the ‘republican party Is beaten this time we will have some chance in the next campaign. ‘There 13 & superstition which holds the repubifean Yogether that whea the republicans go out of wer the country will go to ruin. When the repub- icang see that this is not so a great, many ‘votes now held by the republican party will be set free ang the probibition movement will gain by it. “There 1s a movement going ou in New York Which is not g-nerally noticed,” sald Mr. Batley. “st. John, Bayne, Finch, Miss Willard, and other prominent pronibitionists are holding temperance camp meetings there, which are attended each by ‘as many as 8,000 or 10,000 peopie. They are arousin; considerable enthusiasm. “Now ther? 18 a probibl- Uon Vote there any way of about 20,000, and If they can Succeed in doubling that you can see it may take Considerable difference with the result in te state” ‘The Submerged Tallapoosa, ARIDAVITS OF MEN ON TRE SCHOONER AS TO THE COLLIBION. Divéts will probably exiinine the Tallapoosa in ‘Vineyard sound to-day to learn the extent of the damage done, and to ascertain if there are any bodies on board. At the instance of Capt. Reed, of the schooner James S. Lowell, the aMfdavits of the lookout, second mate and the man at the wheel on the schooner have been taken. Simon Oluff, the lookout, said the schooner’s lights were buraing, but as "the steamer approached he saw she was swinging across the schooner’s bow as he saw all three of her lights—green, red and masthead—and Hnally the green and misthead lights only, and then ina few seconds the vessels struck. Gvorge Fitzgerald, second mate, said: “The steamer did not apparently change her course until when about turee Umes our schooner’s length away from us I had my eye on ber at the time she altered her course and I saw her green light a little on our port bow. The next thing after this, almost. imme ti- ately, the schooner struck.” The man at the wheel Samuel Edgett, corroborated the second mate and kout Hoaxing the London Press, Fleet street, London, was startled yesterday afternoon by 8 rumor that Queen Victoria had sud- denly died. All the machinery of the London press ‘Was promptly put In motion to ascertain the facta. Marlborough house, Buckingham palace, the home office and the residence of Sir Wm. Gull were be- steged by reporters sent to gather every obtainable scrap of Information, and telegrams were seut fy- ingin every direction, A few inquiries, however, showed that the rumor was only a hoax.’ SUll, the queen’s health is precarious, says. a London cable gram, and her long-coutinu’d its. of melancholia are regarded by the medical profession as indicat- ing a condition of her system which may at any tume become suddenly worse. These considera- tions rendered the report not improbable. The Atiantic City Civil Rights Suits, ‘The civil rights suit brought by Charles 0. Ed- wards, a colored man from Baltimore, against the proprietors of Guvernator’s and Natter’s concert gardens in Atlantic City, N. J., took another turn yesterday, when three‘well-known ice cream deal- ers on Atlantic avenue were summoned before Judge Irving on a similar charge. The latter were dismissed, however, the judge deciding that the hew law does not cover cases of thiskind. The suits against Guvernator and Natter will come up for trial at the circuit court of Atlantic county, which meets on September 9. Edwards has en- gaged ex-Senator Robeson as his counsel, and ex- presses his determination to make this a test case of the new law.

At the tiie Edwards was refuse i admis- sion to Guvernator’s he was accompanied by the daughter of Judze Kuffin, of Boston, who is de- seribed as ‘a nandsome ‘and accomplished mu- lato.” Ex-Constessman John R.

The frost of Monday morning wasso heavy in low places in Connecticut that it was scraped from fences with the hand. Little damage was done, though tomatoes and late cucumber vines were nipped. In the opinion of an aged gentleman, of Norwich, the similarity between the year 1864 and that of 1816, “the year without a summer,” ts being strikingly realized, “The present is even more phenomenal,” he says, “in that the July and and more siugular than was thut of 1816, though the June of the earlier season was colder than was last June.” ‘Thus far there has been a frost in each month of this year, and there is ttle doubt that September will give at least one freeze, YELLOW FevER at Pensacota—The bark Ata- lanta, from New Orleans for Gibraltar, red signal for a steam tug of Pensacola bar Monday.

THE GOVERNMENT CLERK WHO WANTED TO G0 HOME TO WORK FOR BUTLER. A Clerk in the surgeon general's office called upon ‘the Acting Secretary of War yesterday, and stated that he wanted to get thirty days’ leave without Pay, besides his regular leave. ‘The chief of his office had refused to grant the adaitional leave on ‘the ground that his services were needed, and the clerk had therefore appealed toa higher power. He was told that if he had any good reason for belng away at that time, If he would mention it to hig chief, no doubt, that offical would grant him leave. “Well, the fact of it 1s,” said the clerk, with a sudden burst of confidence, “I want togo home and work for Butler, and they’ know that at the of and for that reagon they won't. give me the leave. “I don’t think that 1s a reason for a leave.” remarked the Acting Secretary, “and it would make no difference whether you were going to work for Blaine or Cleveland.” ‘The clerk left, with a new idea of official duties. The Fight Against Mahone. GOV. CAMERON MAKING A DETERMINED STAND AGAINST HIS OLD ALLY. Gov. Cameron, of Virginia, has written a letter to the people of the fourth congressional district of that state, asking them not to aliow themselves to ve controlled by the machine. This is adirect shot at Mahone, and has created considerable excite- ment at Petersburg. A Richmond, Va., special to the Baltimore Sun says: “The effect of the movement begun Monday by Gov. Cameron and others acting against’ Ma- hone’s methods will be felt in this campaign. A systematic fight was made by the Cameron faction at Monday’s meetings in ali the congressional dis- trigts to select delegates to the republican conven- tobe held onthe 29th instunt. With all of ty machinery under his control, tt 1s proba- Die that Mahone secured enough delezates in the two colored districts—second and fourth—to noml- nate hls candidates, Libby and Brady. ‘The ght, however, wiil be renewed In the convention, and ‘Whe result may yet be unfavorable to these tWo as- Plrants. Gov. Caineron and. his friends seem to de thoroughly In earnest 1n this feht, and suow a de- termination to prosecute it to the end. ‘The demo crats are perfectly satisied with the tum affairs has taken in Mahone’s career. ‘They are confident that the present discord in Mahone’s ranks will re- sult in his defeat in Virginia this year by an over- Wwhelming majority. Itty probable that there will be Independent anti-Mahoue candidates for Con- gress in several districts. So far the straigntout Tepublican leaders have taken no conspicuous part in Wie contest between the Cameron and Mahone factions. It ts quite certain, however, that they sympatliize with the former, and may in time take an active part in Mahone’s overthrow. The Political Field.
