Porfirio Diaz is expected in the capital next week. President Lerdo de Tejada entertains the kindliest feelings towards him, and will probably appoint him to an important office.

BUMOBS OF OOLLISION BETWEEN WHITES AND BLACKS IN TENNESSEE, Msuruais, Tenn., August 22, 1872. Rumors of a collision between whites and blacks at Colliersyille, on the Charleston Railroad, grow- ing out of the lynching of a negro, named John Brown, a few nights since, were current here this afternoon. At about five o'clock Sheriff Curry re- ceived a telegram asking for assistance, and imme- diately summoned a posse of fifty men and left on a train for that place. From Reeeeniers by to-night’s train it is learned that a body of armed negroes, estimated at from tlree to four hundred, are assembled about two miles from Col- Hersville, and that the Sherif, with two hundred armed men, has gone to meet them. The negroes haa agrested several persons, and proposed to try them by a court-martial. The telegraph operator fat Collierville has accompanied the Sherti’s ie, and dt is impossible to obtain any definite informa- tion at this time, There is considerable excite- ment here to-night im consequence of the affair, and fears of a bloody collision are entertaincd, THE FUNERAL OF MR, JOSEPH KEON, The faneral of the late Mr. Joseph Keon, who on Sunday last was drowned at Rockaway, took place at the residence of his parents, in Fifth street, on Tuesday.

BLACK AND. WHITE . [IMRACIANS. Charges and Counter Charges of Venality and Villany. MOSES NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR. CoLumstA, S, C., Augast 22, 1872, The Republican Nominating Convention has to- day, and particularly to-night, been the scene of the most turbulent excitement ever witnessed In a legislative body, even in Africanized South Caro- lina. Its decidedly black complexion gave a fair Opportunity of toasting the ability, honesty and Political virtue of the negroes and whites. A few did make a feeble effort at reform; the majority showed their utter Incapacity to frame a stable and honest government, The influence of money Proved too powerful for the sable representa- tives of the South Carofina republicans, and the majority of the delegates forced upon the party a candidate whose record is tinctured with the most roprehonsible transactions of the last two legisla- tive sessions. The lobbies, galleries and halls of the Senate Chamber were thronged witha DENSE MASS OF AFRICAN HUMANITY, which, with the thermometer im the nineties, ren- dered it serious and dangerous to the health of the few whites in the Convention. The alr, was stifling, nauseous and. suffocating, and the few respectable whites in the body surged through the black mass in the greatest agony of both body and mind, The lively proceedings opened with the election of Congressman R, B. Elliott, colored, as permanent President of the Convention, which was another marked indication of the strength of F, J. Moses, late Speaker of the House of Representatives, for the Gubernatorial nomination. Aiter questions of the contending delegations from Charleston, Beaufort, Orangeburg and the other countios had been decided in the interest of Moses, the ball opened with AN EXCITED AND INDECENT DEBATR, during which the most disgraceful scenes were enacted in the sweltering and foul smelling cham- ber. The names of F, J, Moses, D. H. Chamberlain, Reuben Tomlinson and Judge J. W. Melton were put in nomination, and then the opposing forces showed their hands in the most shameless and unblushing manner, Elliott vacated the chair and took the floor to make a speech, in which he charged that Comptrolier General Neagle, who supported Cham- berlain for the Governorsiip, offered $1,000 each to two of the delegates, naming them, who were in favor of Moses, to vote for Chamberlain, who was regarded as the ‘Financial Ring oandédate.”” THIS PRODUCED A FRARFUL SCENE ofexcitement. Every delegate, lobbyist and spec- tator waa instantly on his feet, and timid people Tushed frantically to the doors, fearing a riot and Perhaps bloodshed. When the noiso and uproar had parvialiy subsided Whittemore, of cadctship notoriety, obtained the floor, and he in part refuted the charges made by Elilott, but his speech princi- pally advocated the claims of Reuben Tomlinson as the reform candidate of the repubiican party of South Carolina, To the credit of Whittemore be it sald, he made an able effort in the interests of re- form and good government; but his speech made no impression on the mass of negro delegates who were already pledged to vote for Moses, Whitte- more had scarcely concluded when Judge T. J. Mackey, of the Seventh judicial circuit, sprang ex- citedly to his feet, and he charged that Tomlinson had not only bribed the Legislature of the State to secure the passage of a certain phosphate bi!l, but that he had also as a member of the same body SOLD IIS VOTE IN THE BLUE RIDGE and other railroad bills, and that, aa far as Tom- linson's record was concerned, he was as open to charges of bribery and corruption as any other member on the floor. At this juncture the excite- ment had reached its highest pitch, and the throng of negroes, both within and without the bar of the Chamber, surged to and fro like a great forest shaken by a storm, while the din of YELLS, CURSKS AND IMPRECATIONS nearly drowned the ponderous raps of the Presi- dent's gavel on the mahogany desk. As soon as order could be partly restored Judge James L, Orr, who was a delegate from Anderson county, rose and asked Judge Mackey tf he knew anything about $2,000 being offered to two delegates to control the vote of their respective delegations in tee interest of Moses; and Orr further stated that he had this information from the Wps of one ot the delegates himscif. Mackey excitediy and vociferously retorted that Orr had gone out of the Chamber and induced the delegate in question to make this statement. Orr deflantly replied that that ‘was a lie out of whole cloth, and then the Chamber again became a pandemonium, Tho appellation of a violent mob ts inadequate to give 4 iaint idea of the condition of the crowd at that time. ELLIOIT RAPPED the large gavel on the desk with all the powerful force of his stalwart black arm, tle perspiration oozing in large black patches through his check lined coat; but, though an expert presiding oilicer, he failed to make any impression upon the crowd. Then, by combined yells and cries of “Mr, Prest- dent,” from the reformers on the fluor, one of the delegates WHO HAD BREN OFFERED BRIBES of $2,000 by Moses, obtained tho floor, and notwith- standing the noise, din and confusion made a clear statement of various attempts to bribe him by F. J. Moses himself, This was a bombshell in the Moses ranks and was beginning to have its effect when that faction choked oif all further debate, and Elliott, by the Mb lec use of his voice, arm and gavel—the latter being persistently brought down with all the force of a siedge hammer—ruled that balloting for a nominee of the republican party of South Carolina was now in order. It was in vain that the minority moved to adjourn, and protested in every conceivable shape against this arbitrary eee een con manner, They were eifec- 1 HOOTED, YELLED AND CRUSHED DOWN, and the calling of the roll began. This was accom- panied by cheers and yells whenever any doubtful man voted for Moses. The space immediately be- hind the President’s chair was thronged and fone with delegates, and while the roll was eing called @ quarrel took place be- tween a delegate and Mr. Elilott, the President of the Convention. What was the origin could not discover, but my attention was attracted to it by the exclamation of Whitte- more—“Put up your pistol, Mr. President; there is going to be no difficulty here,” and upon looking up from the reporter's table, I saw Elliott replacing in his breeches pocket what f conceived to be a pistol. The other party (a white man) to the quar- Tel had discreetly vamosed in the face of so strong and effective an argument as powder and lead. MOSES NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR. Shortly after this the vote was announced that Moses had received sixty-nine—a majority of the ballots—and was from that moment the candidate for Governor of the reguiar republican party of South Carolina, in the election to take place on the 19th of October next. This announcement was received with the wildest demonstrations of Doin which continued for nearly ten minutes, the negro band Soak “Hall to the Cnief’— & most Inapprop ate selection—which — the followed up with “Dixie,” and the deicgates yelle as loud and as boisterously as if it had been the “Star-Spangled Ban .” “When this was con- cluded @ committee was appointed to inform Mr. Moses of his nomination, and while thet committee was absent the tall and dignified form of cfasr 4 Orr was seen surging through the delegates to the centre of the Chamber. apDem ORD WiSRDRAWS) When he had reached that point he stopped, and, facing the Chair, said:— ‘ Mr. Prestpest—Aa I cannot endorse the record of Mr. Moses, I respectfully withdraw from this Convention. A volley of hiss: nd yells greeted the bolt of the South Carolina statesman as he turned his back and strode to the door; but before ho had fairly got out Sag Mackey Jumped up and yelled out, “Let ir. President. He never was your on one his life.’ This sally of this po- Judge was almost madly cheered. Senator Sawyer, District Attorney Corbin, Collector Clark and all the Wie? reformers nad just pre- ceeded Orr, and in that bolt is probably the disrap- tion of the republican party of South Carolina and the first symptoms of reform and good government for the State, There will now undoubtedly be a coalition with the whites, and {tis positively as- erted the State can be easily carried against loses in Octover. If that isaresult of the bolt, uth Carolina will, in all probability, go for Gree- yin November.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 22, 1872. The labor reformers of the United Statesheld a National Convention to-day for the purpose of tak- ing action tx regard to the approaching Presiden- tlal contest. The Convention was nota large one, but it was important, as delegates representing two or three hundred societies of workingmen in various sections of the country were present. The Convention was called in accordance with’a resolu- tion adoptéd at a meeting held in the Germania As- sembly Rooms in New York in August, inviting all labor associations to semd delegates to the present gathering to nominate candidates for the Prestdency and Vive Presidency, Mex Hammond, of New York, was eleeted temporary Chairman, A LIVELY SOBNB ENSUED during ‘fic session on 8° motion to nominate’ a president and vice president. Large numbers of delegates’ jumped to thelr feet to express theit views, an@a commotion took place which attracted’ the attention of the people passing in the street. Some denounced the nomination of Greeley at Bal- timore as the thieves’ own ticket, and extracts were made from his writings to prove it. The members finalty untted on a proposition to present the name of Charles O'Conor, of New York, and Senator Saulsbary, of Delaware, to the Louisville Convention in September, ORGANIZING, Mr. Pierce, of Rhode Island; E.

The Constitution Apparently’ in Danger. Camden and Jacob, Democratic and fnde- pendent Candidates, Fighting Desper- ately for the Governorship, Martinspora, W, Va., August 22, 1872, The election to-day in this State has passed of quictly, although one of the most bitterly contested elections-‘ever kitown here, The vote 1s the fullest that has ever been polled, amt so close is the con- test that it'will take the officthl vote to determine to whom the victory belongs. So numerous are the tickets and candidates that but few of the countics will get the vote counted before noon to-morrow, so that it is impossible to-night to form an intelligent idea of the result; but it is safe to say that the constitution stands‘in much danger of defeat, and the regularly nominated State demo- cratic ticket will not have much the advantage of it and may fare worse, The towns along the railroads where telegraphic communication can be had secm to have gone against both. In some loealities the tickets are sevatched fearfully, no two being alike, and little attention was paid to party nominees, every one voting to suit himself, Ftom one toa déven inde- Pendent candidates were running for every office to be voted for. Tt cannot be considered @ regular party fight, and neither republicans nor democrats can claim Committees on Credentials and Permanent Or- ganization were appointed. The following Committee on Resolutions was ap- pointed :— George Roch, of Georgian; William Davis, of Michigan; William Price, of Rhode Island; Francis Mahony, of North Carolina; BE. B.

Haley, of Connectieut, aad Patrick Cunningham, of Virginia, secretaries, Mr. IRWING, on taking the chair, denounced the so-called labor reformers who intended selling the suffrages of the labor reformers to either Grant or Greeley. He hoped that this Convention would NOMINATE ITS OWN CANDIDATES, lct the result be what it might. He would suggest that they should not support either Greeley or Grant, Mr. Irwing continued his remarks for some time, and was frequently applauded, The Committee on Resolutions reported the fol- lowing for the adoption of the Convention :— THE RESOLUTIONS.

Jane io Beebe Has General Pillow’s Mule Claim. Some time ago General Pillow, who was cngage@ in the Confederate army, sent a letter to the Secre- tary of War asking to be paid the value of 200 mules seized by the Union troops at Helena, Ark., in 186%. This letter was referred to Attorney General Williams, who has given to the Secretary hia opinion on the subject, holding in substance that the claim is not good, the property having beem seized in a State which attempted to withdraw from the Union and belonging toa party not loyal to the government, Congress has not determined to pay persons who were in the rebellion for property taken by the United States troops, as is evident by the act of Congress providing for the appointment of a com- mission to settle the clatms of loyal citizens only. Therefore the War Department has no warrant to pay or direct payment of the claim presented by General Pillow. Personal. Treasurer Spinner has returned and resumed hie official duties.
