Our correspondent says Jonesboro reminds one of Goldsmith's “Deserted Village.’ No deaths occurred yesterday, though several were expected last night. Just as the train reached Jonesboro our corre- spondent is informed of a new case—Mr. Boyd, brother of the Deputy Marshal in our city—fhe symptoms of which are pronounced very malig- nant.

The Royal Marriage Dowry Debate— Allowances ‘“‘Wrung from @ Reluctant and Indignant Peopic.” Lonvon, July 31, 1878, During the session of the House of Commons this evening the bill granting an annuity of £25,000 to the Duke of Edinburgh upon his approaching mar- riage with the Princess Marie Alexandroyna, came up on its cecond reading. Mr. P. A. Taylor, member for Leicester, moved that the second reading of the bill be postponed for one month from this date. He spoke at great length in support of his motion. In the course of his speech he protested against the frequent appll- cations by the Crown for grants of annuities to the royal children. He stated that such applications Place the Queen in an unfaverable and unsatisfac- tory light before the public. He thought that if the Civil list was suflicient for.the proper maintenance of the royal household, the Crown ought to surrender to the public treasury the immense private property now neld by it. Heheld that if her private property be retained by the Queen there can be no necessity for the appropria- tion provided for in this bill. He stated that the whole management ot the civil list naturally gives rise to numerous grave suspicions on the part of the public, by reason of the secrecy with which it isinvested. He also said that the people of Great Britain were not interested in the proposed mar- riage of the Duke of Edinburgh; and besides that, the latter receives an ample allowance now, “wrung as it is irom a reluctant and indignant peopie.” Mr. George Anderson, member for Glasgow, sec- onded the motion to postpone. He declared that the proposal contained in the bill was disgraceful. Right Hon. Edward P. Bouverie, member for Kil- Marnock, and Mr. John Sidney North, member for Oxfordshire, spoke in opposition to the postpone- ment o1 the second reading of the bill. Mr. Gladstone regretted the tone ot the discussion which had taken place, He denicd that the govern- ment had maintained any secrecy touching the management of the Crown property. ‘The civil list, he said, was never intended to provide for the portioniwg of the royal children, Parliament must either adopt the course at present proposed and as pursued with regard to those of the royal children already mar- ried or provide for an increased civil list. He up- held the proposition contained in the bill, as it gave to Parliament the control of the conduct o1 the Crown and of the royal family. The motion to postpone was lost, and the bill was passed on its second reading by a vote of 162 yeas to 18 nays, PREPARATION FOR THE PROROGATION. Shortly after the opening of the session Mr. Gladstone stated that the business of the House was so far advanced as to warrant the hope that its session would be prorogued on Tuesday next. RADICAL OPPOSITION TO ROYAL MARRIAGE DOWRY. Mr. Bradlaugh has issued a call for a meeting in Hyde Park on Sunday next, to protest against an increase in the allowance of the Duke of Edin- burgh on the occasion of his marriage. Demonstrations in opposition to the proposed increase in the Duke’s allowance were mado yesterday at Nottingham, Birmingham and other Places in England, THE POILADELPHIA ELECTION MUDDLE. ea papain The Charge of Fraud at the Republican Primary Election for Assemblyman of the Fourth District Sustained—Ovens Thrown Overboard and O'Neill Ceunted An—The Committee’s Report, PHILADELPHIA, July 31, 1873, Excitement ran high yestérday afternoon when it Was announced that the committee appointed to investigate the charge of fraud in the O’Neill- Ovens contested election case for the Assembly would give in their decision. Knots of politicians from almost every quarter of the city were scat- tered in and around Independence Hall, all of whom eagerly discussed the subject and bolstered up their favorites with words of encouragement, | Ovens was early on the street and appeared conf- | dent of being sustained by the committee, but their subsequent report dashed his hopes to the ground and he departed chagrined and with ‘fight’ in his eye. O'Neill, his adversary, “laid low”’ at the City Treasurer's office, surrounded by his friends, who were watching and waiting for the verdict with painful impatience. At half-past four | o'clock the committee siowly filed down the stair- | way ieading irom the club room, corner Broad and streets, where they had held their meeting, | and the result was instantly communicated to a | few outsiders, and was soon caught op by the | friends of both parties, wio scattered the news | broadcast that Ovens had been counted out and that O'Neill was the rightiul nominee fur the As- sembly from the Fourth district. This tn- telligence fell like @ thunderbolt among the adherents of Ovens, who had received every assurance irom the party managers that their champion would be fully sustained. In this respect, however, they were destined to be wotnlly deceived, as at a secret caucus held yes- terday morning ex-Speaker Elliott and others, although firm friends of Ovens, decided that, to allow Bim to ron for the Assembly in the face of such glaring frauds as were proven to have been committed at the primary election, would invite public censure and do irreparable iyary to the general ticket at the Fall election. Here is the committee’s report, and if it doesn’t create a severe “split” among the “repeaters’’ of the re- publican ranks, Billy MeMullem and other old wire- pullers are no judges of “men and things.” COMMITTER REPORT.

All Fine Old Bourbon Sour and Scandalized, CINCINNATI “SMILES” AND LIKES IT, Morning Reflections of Independent and Par- tisan Press Tipplers—Journals in the Jim Jams. CoLuMBus, Ohio, July 81, 1873, The Convention here yesterday represented all shades of political and religious views, Tne con- glomeration was evident to those who were famil- iar with the predilections of the people, being com- posed mostly of sweets, aours and bitters of Ham- iiton and Allen counties, In other words, it should be called @ Cocktail or gumbo meeting, it being nearer like an assembly of Communists than of sensible men, They were very confident in the morning, flying their banners, not of liberal- ism, “No reform’ was the word. Tho Conven- tion had received sympathy from Groesbeck, Ewing and several other leading democrats. Spec- ulations of the Convention are that the expenses of the Convention here yesterday will be paid by the republican party of the State, the Allen county movement being encouraged by them, with the hope of splitting the democratic party, thus favor- ing their chances in the Fall campaign, THE DEMOCRACY WILL NEVER JOIN the new movement, but will hold the largest con- vention on the 6th of August and nominate the strongest ticket they have had for years: “It ts a crazy movement,” said an old politician yesterday. “Do @ handful of men expect to cope with the re- ublican party, or to submerge the democracy? hy did one of the warmest little hot beds of liber- alism in the State last Fall have no delegates?" If the democrats nominate a strong ticket, as they certainly will, the other party must throw over their piatform and unite in one. They must make tle first move. Very little can be said of what will grow out of the Convention at this time of writing. Those favoring reform are sure of suc- cess. Republicans smile, saving it only helps them. Democracy rises from her ashes as proud as ever to refute the charge that she is powerless, although many of her Ohio leaders are jAclined to desert her. The public at large is disappointed. Hosts of editors of Western and Northwestern papers, thinking to see a new fight on a new battle ground, flocked here, but have returned to pronounce THE CONVENTION A FIZZLE and show fight. Thurman, although in town, kept sity of the Convention, knowing of the hostile feel- ings Many members had Baeninat him, The ablest speech was that of Ewing in favor of both parties joining hands and becoming one, The Convention of Ciel 6 will bring forth new issues, and will be attended ig ers allover the country. Many are disappointed that Chilton White was not the nominee for Gevernor, ana many have re- turned to their warm wigwams disgusted. Both prone and politicians will rest easy for a few days, as they have come to the conclusion that there are mike sours than sweets in the Cocktall Conven- lon. Cincinnati Smacks Its Lips. CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 31, 1873, The Columbus Convention has made a good im- pression on the public, no matter what the parti- san press or the opposing politicians may say to the contrary. What commends it most to popular regard is the almost entire freedom of the ticket fiom the strictly professional politician, although nearly all the nominees are men more or less iden- tified in years past with State politics. Judge Col- lins is a lawyer of good ability, epjoying @ lucrative practice. He is in no sense an orator, but a good, plain, sensible speaker. Saunders Piatt is brother to the brilliant and erratic Donn, of the Washington Capitol. The nominees tor the Supreme bench and the attorney generalship are men noted for ability and integrity, while the remaining names of the ticket are regarded as first class men, The morning press devote a large space to a canvas of the Convention and the ticket to-day, OPINIONS OF THE OII0 PRESS. The Commercial says, in substance, that the third party movement is a surprising and auspi- cious success to its friends, who will show evidence of their encouragement and resolution to perse- vere by nominating county tickets in the more in- telligent and important parts of the State, setting the example atan early day in Hamilton county, The Convention was one that will trouble the Grant Grater. and the Thurtsan Beurbons. It says the {th resolution contains the pith of the platiorm and predicts that Tourman’s reactionary course will secure his defeat, . The Gazette says:—“The Convention did not ac- cept Mr. Groesbeck’s excellent advice as to a name for the new party, whereby he proposed to join the aneicut dead odor of the democretic name with the smell of the more recent decomposition of liberal. it took the name of ‘Pcople’s Party,’ probably for the reason that it is unknown to the people. General Ewing being called on made a speech, in which he told them that the name of democrat is so odious to the people of Ohio that it would be fatal to any party. \Ve see no reason why anybody should not hold a convention and nominate a ticket and make a platiorm. It is a harmless enjoyment, The ticket is composed of inoffensive men, and doubtless some one looks upon his work in the composition of the same with pride. Why should any be forbidden this inodfen- lve enjoyment?’ BOURBON SOUR. The Inquirer saya: “The new party, judging from our standpoint, does not come into the world under flattering auspices, The men who stood as god- fathers to it at Columbus yesterday may be earnest and sincere, but they will be looked upon as po- litical adventurers, Their desire to reform the poli- tics of the country May be intense, but their pro- mise 18 no greater than that of other political erganizationg which will lift obscure men into place and notoriety, It is apparent to an observer that the liberal element which co-operated with the democracy last Fall was but slightly represented at Columbus yesterday. The rank and file of the liberal repubucans will act with the regular demo- cratic organization, we take it, in counties where they have no organization of their own. To sum up, the new party which comes to us with a flourish of trumpets is but a weak and affair, The meagre Convention, the indiffer. with which its action is received and ti character and antecedents of the participants all go to prove that the oft-repeated declaration that there Was @ great popular demand for @ new party was but a deinsion and asnare. I[t is not a peo- pies’ movelent and tt will never become a peo- ples’ party. The managers, through their platiorm, propose nothing that cannot be obtained through the regenerated, liberaiized and modernized aemo- cratic party. We look upon this movement now as but an insurrection among the quartermasters and contractors of the democratic party. Their efforts will be mainly directed against that organt- zation; but it will rise superior to their assalts. It it anderstood that the founders of the new party ask no aMilation or co-operalion with the demo- cratic party. Let us see to tt, then, that they do not receive any.” THE NEW DEPARTURISTS. Is the Democratic Party Dead?—What Is Proposed by the Liberals. The letter of William S. Groesbeck declaring that the democratic party had surrendered and was no longer possessed of strength enough for victory, togetuer with the fusion of Allen county demoerats and liberals in Ohio for campaign purposes, has attracted very general attention among prominent politicians of the last Presidential canvass and oc casioned some talk even among the rank and file, to whom political changes are of interest for various reasons—usually bread and butter, The subject was pretty generally + DISCUSSED AT THE CLUBS yesterday by the few who frequented them, and doubtless the wealthier leaders in their digtant Summer homes talked over the matter very earn- estly among themselves, A reporter of the HERALD called yesterday to see a number of prominent democratic and liberal repubitoan lights, but found most of them out of town, Congressman R, B, Roosevelt, to whom it is understood the letter of Mr. Groeabeck was directed, is away at his Sum- mer resort tm Sayville, L. 1.

To-day the Convention was called to order at twelve o'clock, The feature of the day was the speech of Colonel Hughes. The body had scarcely assembled when thore were loud cails for the stan- dard bearer of the party, who came modestly to the stand. He began his speech by eulogiziug the nations Union, claiming that it has uroral relations with its divine Head and constituent members. ‘Tho republican party was the party that upheld that Union and saved tt from destruction, The platform ofthe party is as sound as its flag is sacred; it embodies great principles which are the guaranteo at once of local peace, thrift and of national bar- mony and glory, Hatred, intolerance and pro- acriptiveness are not among the characteristics of held at the Coroner's ofice.

The following evidence was taken, and it will be seen that tne last witness makes some very important statements, from which it will appear that the only examination tt was thought neces- sary to make of the body was to strip and took at the legs.
