(From the Rochester Union, August 6.) An affray oacurred at Niagara | yesterday morning, causing considerable excitement there. The particulars xf the case are stated to us by ditlerent parties substantially as follows:—A gentleman from the Soutn—Kentucky or Mirsouri—with his wife and daughter, were stopping at the {nferpational Hotel. On Tuesday they wore on the Uansda side and took a ferry skiff to return. After the ladies bad taken seats tn the skiff, an !mpudont colored man took asea: between them, The geuiloman who accompanied there ladies, the husband of one and father of the other, requestea negro poitely to leave the seat that be might occupy it. The fellow refused to chang seat, and gave abusive language ip retura for ‘Tae white man ejected tue biadk one by force the seat and checked him some. Yesterday morniog the man and his wife came to the breakfast table of the International later than usual, and after nearly all the guests had ieft the dining room. After taking his seat at the table besiae his wife, the negro with whom be had tte altercation a the skiff onthe provious cay, came upto him god said, “you arethe man who choked me yesterday.”’ The reply was “yos, and I ought to bave thrown you into the river." At this point the biack fellow s'ruck the man on the bead with a heavy tumbler, feiliny bim senscless to the floor. The wife of the yentieman thus assaulted rose,and, with commendable heroism, dealt the feliow a blow which restrained him. Wiibout an instant of delay, rhe ran up stairs to the rooms she occupied and Oniing the door locked, ber husbapd baving the key, she the door open, Seized a revolver, and ranto the dining reom. Hy this time the black waiters bad their out of ‘won vootsred by the Interforence Of the | atthe ‘was reatored by the of we proprietors of the house and friends. The negro who had caused the disturbance ran to the river bank, intending to escape to Canada, but did not suc ceed. He was arrested by a constable, and while on his way to apawer to the magistrate, in 8 hotel a shot wes fired from the second story window. ball did no Bischief, but parsed near the coustabls aud his prisoaer Who fired the shot no one has yet ascertained, er at least it is not publicly Known.

The Southerner who was assauited came forward and requested thas the follow be uot sent to jail. The magis trate Sen changed the tontence toa fine of $25, which was paid. TROUBLE AT EPHRATA SPRINGS—FIGHT BETWEEN A SOUTHERNER AND A WAITS. [From the Lancaster, Pa., Express of August 3 | On Saturday a difficulty occurred at the Ephrata Moun {alu Springs which came near having an unpleasant - mination. Tbe sarticulars, as far as we gather them from the many flying reports in the matier, are about as foliows :—It appears that at the dinner tabie, after most of the boarders had retired, « gentleman named Write, from Balti wore, got into ap altercation with one of the colored servants, who, he alleged, carried away his plate on which be bad just ordered meat. The charge was denied by the rervant, when bigh words took place bo- tween the two, which ended by the former picking up a tumbler and hurliug it at the bead of the latter. The ser- vart evaded the fying missile by dodging, and directiy made towards Mr. White ina menacing manner, and rock him in the face, urged op, it te said, by the other | Toe noise of the disturbance filed gous of the house, tervants io (he room. the room with the principally Southerners, who caught the servant and forced bim from the room.

Both constitutional conventions are now organized and hard at work,on the business for which the delegates were seni bere. Neither body have yet progressed for exovgh to indloate what will be the prominent features of the documents they will bring forth. I believe, however, ‘tbat both will submit eminently conservative constitutions, and that there will be n0 essential difference in the two, Tho great igh which isto come off over the productions off those two rival bodies will take place on the issue of that first day’s proceedirgs, and aa the republicans have flooded the Eastern papers with one-sided accounts of the ecourrences of that day, I propose to give a plain state ment of the grounds on which the democrats have acted, ané of the positions they wil! assume before the people. But few of the democratic delegates reached the city uuntt! the day before the meeting of the convention, and no geveral consultation toox place among them on the subjec: of the organization, until a committee of republicans ap- peared at the Fuller House~the democratic headquarters Sunday night, to coufer @ith them, when « small number collected in ® privae room to hear the proposi- ttoa of the republicant—which proposition was, that the convention should convene at 12 o'clock M., on the next day. They immediately passed a résolufion saying they would meet at the usu :jbour, and the next morping paseei another resolution saying that uaual hour was 12 o'clock M. Im the menntime, however, it had become generally known that twenty-fowr hours previous the republican caucas bad passed a resolution that they would proceed to the capitol at 12 o'clock on Sunday night, {f they found i was the intention of the democrats to take possersion of the hall. The democi ats were, of course, somewhat indignant. They nad held mo meeting for any purpose, The idea of going there at 12 o’olok at night had not been mentioned, and for the'r opponents to tell them in advance “We believe you are scovnirels, and we'll be ready for you,” was hardly the civility to be expecied from @ bighminded advertary, The republicans did as they had threatened to do—went ina body to the capitol at 12o’clock om Sunday night, and @ind\ng the hall of the House of Representatives locked, encamped in an adjoin: irg room untii the ball was opened in the morning, when they immediately took possession. A general caucus of the democratic members who had arrived was called (n the morning, anc the extraordinary proceedings of the re- pabloasa taken into consideration A large number of ‘vetr own men had pot reached the city, They belivved tot whon their own men were all here they had legitt- mstely and properly @ majority of the Convention notwith- standing the fact that a mejority of ‘he certificates had been given to the repub!icans; and they considered them- setves justified in acjourpivg the Convention as soon as it bid convened, if they coud cilcct it im any par! y way. To pursuance of this revolution, they entered the hall about 12 o'clock M Secretary Chave, who ts @ member of the Convention, bad as good a right to call it to order as any otner member, and who, as Secre ary ‘Territory—following the pre- cedents of some of the ther conventions, hed a righ; au- perior to apy Other member—rapped on the d aod called to order, when a motion was insigntly made that the convention adjourn. About the same tiae Mr. North, & ropadlican member, also called to order, and moved himwelf that Mr. Galbraith be clected President pro tem- pore Now, admitting that Mr. North was tho legitimate chair- mas, the two motions were before the sonvention, and ac- cording to all par! rules and practice, the motio: t> edjourn muti be first put, and Mr. North should have pat (bat motion.

Mr. Ooo, ‘rom Houston ounty, his seat uader about the same Circumstances, in a minority, accord- ing to the official returns, of 49 votes. This will re- duce the umber of republicans legally elected to 54— jess thaa a quorum. There is aiso one ojher dolo- gate sitting im that body whose seat is contested, On the democratic tide no ope to hold « reat who was not elected by an cndoubted majority of votes, and tbe official returna show that thelr men repre- sent a majority of 1,600 of the popular vote of the Terri- . It ts true that the cix Pembina delegates are sisting thero, but Pembina hes heen misrepresented. It waa re. here that the ’embiaa men wore elected west of toe liae fized by Congress for the ate. The of- ficial returns, which ' «vo receatly come tn, show that they ‘were voted for east o* (be line, and received not one vote outside the limits of the propored State, which renders their election as valid in every respect as is the election of the membere from St aul. The dem«crats will therefore go before the peop'e prepared ty show:— 1. That they bare legally a majority of the delegates elected to the Convention 2 that those members roprerent 1,900 majority of the people, and 3. That by al! parlinmeotary rule and practice they aro the Conatitutional Convention.

The statements of Mr. Siewart are derived mostly from personal observation, and may be reKed upor as correct. On Friday right, the 3ist ult., a man named Stephens, living tn Kapsas city, came up to Leavenworth city, and while spreeing around, fato a drinking shop called the Ward House. Tie barkeeper, named es, became very friendly, and after geting Seeplions quite drunk, pro- d @ waik up the river, an: him to a spring oa the Bank of the Kuseoun river, just above the Visnter’s Hovze, where they were met aod arsavited by two mon, who demanded their money or their lives. The bar- ell Baines, gave his money up and raa off. hep hee: he get ‘o the lawer end of town be gave the alarm that @ man was betpg robhed up the river at the spring. Several partles of citizens immediately went up and arriv 4 on the spot just im time to find poor Stephems crawling out of the river, his body and head all beaten and brulsed with stones and clabs, and his chest and shoulders bear- ing several terrible stabs and cuts. The éitizens ran to his aseistance, but the unfortunate vigiim, though strugg!iog to speak, was too far gone, and presently uied, without being able to utter a swz!e word about the manner of his deat, or the pamesof gis murderers, Suspicion at once alighted upom the barkeeper, Baines, aad sovutreged wore the people, aad so violent the presumptions of nis guilt, that a posse of (he citizens at once arrested and bold bin {n close custody. The news in the meantime spread like wild fire all everthe city and the excitement grew ia- tense. An immediate triat of Baines was demanded, and finally it was agreed that he should be bung on the ‘spot, without judge or jury. A rope was procured and put arcund bis neck, and already he was being drawn up to | the limb of an overhang!ng tree, when he expressed a wish to make» confeesion. The crowd yielded and lot | him down to the ground. STARTLING CONFESSION. He valid that be and two men, one named John Quarles, from South Carolina, and the other cs!led Knowlton, had laid the plot by whica Stephens was robbed and maurder- ed, and that the game men had murdered another map, ® short time before, and thrown the body {nto the Missouri river. Ho state! also that he and the men, Knowlton and Quaries, belonged to am organized bey of about been five men, who [ved and carried on the business of bing and murdering in Leavenworth City,on tho island opposite the city, and in the towns of Lawrence and Topo- | ka.
