VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS. The State Convention which Meets To- morrow. SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER AGAINST THE COUNSEL INTHE COUPON CASES—CHAIRMAN BARBOUR STILL IN THE rrr. A State convention of the democratic party meets at Roanoke City, Va, to-morrow. It isex- pected that every county and city will be repre- sented. There are no State officials to be nom!- nated, but a legislature is to be chosen in Novem- ber next, which will elect a successor to Senator Riddleberger. Hon. Jno. 8. Barbour, chairman of the State committee, whose duty it is to call the convention to order, etc., was seen by a SraR reporter late last night. He has been detained by the death of his sister in Culpeper, Va., and will not reach the scene of the convention Until few hours before its meeting. The Western express brought Senator Riddle- berger to the ety Yesterday’ afternoon, When spoken to about the Roanoke convention he quickly replied that the leader of the democratic party, Mr. Barbour, had for the first time, by is late ‘letter, adopted and approved the Ridaleberger bill. Chatrman Barbour, he thought, was eminently right in his cautious sstion that the Co ‘of the United states would never consent to pay Virginia's debt. He Well knew that any such request or demand of the State upon the U. 8. Government would put Vir- ginia in the attitude of an equitablesultor who, failing in his case, would rightly become respon- sible for the entire obligation in controversy. Mr. Barbour, satd he, wisely, asI think, accepts and adopts the views of Chief-Justice Waite, for Jus- Uces Miller, Bradley, and Gray, who were the four dissenting ‘Justices {n the cast which arose from the act of the legislature of Murch 16, 1880, Ie is 2 fact that the authorities employed in that case counsel of a remarkable character, ‘They had besides Attorney-General Blair Judge Staple, who, as a member of the Court of Appeals of Virginia, "had been the only dis- Peallng tho funding act, and Saye Garioadt At. act, and Judge Garlan VornogeGeneral of the United states The. plead: ings in the case were wrongly made up and seemed designed to sustain the minority opinion of Staples in the case referred to; ignored entirely the coupon-Killer act of a later date, which the Supreme Court, in the proportion of 8 to 1, had declared constitutional and Valid, and which was really the rock of defense to’ the State. Senator Riddleberger intimates that Judge Staples Was more interested in vindicating his pqsition a3 dissenting Judge In the case, where he stood sione among his colleagues, than in maintaining the validity of the bili of which he (Senator R.) ts the author. It was futal errors, he asserts, in the pleadings that they acknowl the genuine- ness of the coupons to begin with. And yet that case was only lost by a five to four vote, “He says that Senator Riddleberger announces his intep- tion to canvass the State in the maintenance of the Riddleberger bill. There will be. no conces- sions to debt-holders and no abanaonment of the valtdity of the Riddieberger bill, which will prob- ably in some form, and at anearly day, be made the subject of a reopening by the Supremé Court, “His newspaper, in its issue to-morrow, will contain ac- cusations ’nd charges, further showing his hos- Ulity to Mahone’s aspirations as his successor, a eee Pervonal Movements, etc. Mr. M.

Senator Stanford argued, before the Pacific Rall- Toad Comumittee yesterday, that since the Central Pactile received aid from the Government 1t occu- ples the position of a separate contracting party. rts in- | He argued that if Government atd and the prod- ucts of the first-mortgage bonds had alone been suMicient to build the road it would have cost about $48,250 per mile, and that even if the Cen- tral Pacitic Co..was compelled. to account for its, fxPenultures to the Goverment, this would show hat the ald granted was insufficient to build the Toad, and upon that basis the Government should inake good this deficiency. He stated that the ald Tecelved from the counties of Yuba, Sonora, San Meteceiios Angelos (san Joaqaln, “and ochers, ‘amounting to $3,265, not concern the Cen- tral Pacitic, In some cases the money authorized under the acts of the legislature by the counties referred to Was never raised, and where 1t wasit Went to roads other than’ the Central Pacific. Perhaps some of the roads to build were now leased by the Central Pacific, however. Mr. Stan- ford declared that no money belonging to the Cen- tral Pacific had been diverted to any other cor- ration. “I am ready to use my influence to have he Cominission examine any books wo have as to the Central Pacific Railroad, but we have very active rivals and competitors, and we have rela- Uons with many industries, and these accounts ‘we do not wish to be laid before the public.” Mrs. Cleveland at Marion.

Tur Stax of July 19th contained the announce- ment of the death by drowning of Mr. Belden Noble, of this city, but at that time no details of the unfortunate ‘occurrence were obtainable. From the Essex County (N. ¥.) Republican, pub- Ushed near Mr. Noble's summer residence, the following particulars are learned: Col. Noble left ms family at Peru, N. ¥., on the 4th of July, and. proceeded to albingn Springs Ne carly on Friday afternoon, the 10th, he walked to the lake, not far from the hotel, hired a oat and rowed slowly along the shore toward the Canada ine. The wind was off shore and the water quiet, 'S. Hilker, a farmer living near the lake,a mile and a half from the hotel, was at Work in the field some distance from the water, when he noticed the deceased rowing slowly toward Province Point, trolling with a rod. A lit Ue later he looked up again, and saw the boat drifting across the bay empty. After a short search the body was found floating in about three feet of water, the bay belng shallow for some dis. tance out. ‘The watch of the deceased was found to have stopped at ten minutes after four. From a number of details and indications, such ‘as the condition of the boat, the oars, the articles in the boat, the position of the body, Its general appearance and condition, &c., it is to be inferred that the deceased, while standing up and moving about in the boat, lost his balance, and as the boat slid away from under his feet, he fell or partly jumped-as often happens —alinost headlong into ‘the water, and that theshock being too great for a man of his advanced age, rendered him uncon- scious, His physicians were aware that he was suf- fering from an enfeebled circulation, and this con- dition of the heart would predispose to such a re- sult, under any such shock, Col. Noble has been in the habit of spending a few weeks each summer at Alburgh Springs for many years, and spent much time in fishing. He was not in the habit of going out alone in a boat Dut has sometimes done 80 for a short row in qui ‘weather, ‘The body was taken to Essex, N. ¥., and, after a brief but impressive burial service, Was placed be- side his parents and dead children, in the Noble Plot of the old cemetery at Essex. ‘Thus closes the history of a long and eventful Ute.

An Outline of the Agreement Reached At the Celebrated Round Table Con- ference. Special Cable Dispatch to Tae Evexrxo Sran. Lonpox, August 3—The Pall Mall Gazette pub- Ushes to-day a long article giving the practical result of the round-table conference, which has hitherto been kept quite secret in spite of all the wrangles over it. Iam able to give a sunmary of this, and I can add from personal knowledge that ‘it has been submitted to almost all the leaders and has received their approval. It represents the trreducibie mintmum, or the least common de- nominator of the conflicting parties and outlines the coming scheme of home-rule, with an accu- Tacy almost amounting to certainty. You will notice it cotncldes strikingly with the summary of Gladstone's home-rule views, which I sent you 0 December 16, 1885, and which constituted the first public announcement of these views made anywhere in the world. The summary ts as fol- low: (1) Concession to Ireland of one national legis! ture with aa executive which will represent the ‘Whole island and will have its seat in the capital, @) This 1s safeguarded as follows: (A) That the imperial parliament continue to represent the whole and not a part only of the United Kingdom, This means the retention of Irish ministers at Westminster. (B) That the powers given to any new local parliament be wed “and not sur- Fendered. (C) That subjects to be treated by local authorities shall be clearly defined, and shall be subject to revision and control; that is by turning out the English ministry which refuses to veto the Irish bill in opposition to a mayority of the house. @.) That the udmintstration of justice shall re- main with the authority responsible to the tm- pertal parliament. ‘THIS WAS THE KNOTTIEST POINT. The present Judge 1s to be retained for life and the crown will appoint new ones for fifteen years. The constabulary at first will continue in the hands of the crown. (3) The financial principle laid down 1s that the fiscal unity of the three king- doms, so far as relates to customs excise, shall be maintained unimpaired. Customs excise will re- main in the hands of the tmperial government. Imperial officers will collect and transiuit to the imperial exchequer whatever sums are payable in Ireland under these heads, ‘The fact that Irish Tepresentation will be maintained unimpaired in the imparial parliament immensely simplifies the Anancial bargain, for, instead of fixiug a tribute to be paid in Ireland of a fixed imperial expenditure, which will not vary in times of War or peace, it is how believed that the propor- Uon of the Irish quota will be fixed ata lower fraction than that of one-fifteenth, so that ft will be possible for Ireland to contribute equally with ‘other parts of the United Kingdon, so far as 101s necessary for the maintalnence of the imperial interest at home and abroad. (4.) The land question will be no gigantic pur- chase scheme. slation will be carried out on Unes indicated by a royal commission, leaving it to the Irish legislature Ladevise such a scheme of Jand purchase as shall seem to it _necessary, 1 ing clearly understood Unat the assent of the im- perial parliament must be obtained toany scheme Tor expropriation of tandJords, and no suc expro- priation being possible without the tinperial guar- antee could be given only to a scheme which was oth financially sound ag regards the state and uals. IN Just with regard-to indi ‘The above is practicaljy the scheme which Tre- velyn hasdeciared has been arrived at. It has been seen-and practically approved by Morley, Cham- derlal ML, ‘Trev + and, I be- Neve, Gladstone himself. “Its importance ulay be fathered from tbe fact that the greatest pressure been brought to bear upon the editor of the Pall Mall Gazette to induce him to suppress it, ‘Oneot the most dist just mentioned having dgelared to the editor that { he published the above he would never speak to him on politics again.
