Garcia and his followers were lately stealing cattle in Texas, and, being too hotly pursued by United States cavalry, returned to Mexico, where Garcia was appointed a Customs ‘omMoer, Upon losing his office, and fearing to re- turn to Texas to steal cattle, he turned highway- man in Mexico.

The Royal Commission resumed its investigation at noon to-day. Some time was occupied in read- ing the deposition given on Saturday. Each one has to be written out and signed in triplicate. Beaubien made some corrections in his evidence, He did not think Sir George Cartier knew at any time that Sir Hugh Allan had given him (Beau- bien) $7,000. Re had learned that Mr. Hudson was not chairman of the Cartier Committee. In reply to Judge Gowan Beaubien said he did not know how Sir Hugh would be reimbursed for this and other loans, He knew there was a general cleo tion fund, and thought his friends might subscribe for that purpose. He did not expect the govern- Ment would pay it. Some of their friends might do something. The receipt he gave Sir Hugh was signed in Abbott's oMce and he kept a copy. He knew Sir Hugh had sub- scribed to the Central Committee election fund, and said he (Beaubten) should receive help. Cartier insisted that he (Beaubien) should not re- ceive a cent, but he had reason to believe that the committee, without Cartier’s knowledge, had ‘| helped two of Beaubien’s frends, as they were not members of the House, and THE GOVERNMENT KNEW NOTHING of the transactions. He declined to give the names. Mr. Bethune recalled—Since Saturday had found it impossib'e to examine the books for the whole period requested; had examined them from the Ast to the 6th o/ duly and for the month of Sep- tember, as during the interval Sir John had been absent from Ottawa, and messages Care! be- tween him and the parties who received them Would not be recorded at the office here, Hon.

The next witness called was Paul Murphy, who testified that he resided im Montreal; hdd no knowledge of any agreement between Sir Hugh and McMullen respecting the Pacific Railroad; was connected with tie Nortnern Colonization road; knew nothing of any understanding bétween Sir Hugh and the government respecting the furnish- ing of tunds; the total amount ot SUBSCRIPTION TO THE ELECTION FUNDS was about $65,000; the list was signed by mer- chants and others, English and French; Sir ngns first subscription was $10,000; the second a like sum, and the third $20,000; signed the re- ceipt for the latter amount; had not seen the receipt since; the latter sum was paid in consequence of Cartier’s letter; saw Cartier’s letter of the 20th July about a month ago in Abbott’s hand. (Here witness gave testimony concerning the publication of a letter in the Gazette similar to that of the previous witness.) Cartier’s letter of July 30 contained no reference to the Pacitic Railroad or centract; there were other sums besides Sir Hugh’s subscribed; his was the largest; one condition of Sir Hugh’s subscrip- ing was that Beaubien Hochelaga should be helped out of the funds if he had opposition; knew nothing of the telegrams which were said to have passed between Sir John and Abbott; no application was made for money to help Beaubien. This concluded Murphy's evidence. The Ottawa Commission resumed sitting at four o’clock P. M., but no business was transacted be- rond the reading ol the evidence previously given. The Commission adjourned at five o'clock till noon {o-morrow. MeMullen Declines to Attend the Ottawa Matinee. CHICAGO, Sept. 8, 1873.

The officer proposed to pay Mr. McMullen’s ex- penses, but he declined the offer and will pay no attention to the subject. This is the statement of Nicholson. THE HUNTINGTON TROUBLE. Indignation Mecting To-Day—The Course ot District Attorney Downing—Malice in the Disguise of Justice. HuntInoTon, L, 1., Sept. 8, 1873. To-morrow the indignation meeting of the citi- zens will be hela, at which there is Jittle doubt the attendance will not only be large but impressive, The determination to ferret out the perpetrators of the Kelsey outrage becomes stronger and stronger, and many men will come forward to- morrow who will support their words by deeds, and money will be liberally forthcoming to set the machinery moving to attain the ends of justice. In regard to District Attorney Downing, while the Kelsey party exhaust their reproaches on his head, they cannot help admitting that to his clients he has been a staunch and courageous counsel. He may have erred in attending the inquest in any other capacity than as a spectator, but nis inten- tion, most likely, was to take no part whatever in the case until he was forced into the awk- ward position he occupied by reason of the abrupt retirement of Messrs. Platt & Young. It may be said of Mr. Downing that throughout the legai Fi bee! Sete of last winter he brought all his capacity to the deience of his clients, ana if he biundered by over zeai it Was as much tne prompt- ings of an early and generous friendsiip tor one of the accused as it was the natural and laudable ambition of an advocate to make the best of the side he happened to espouse, There are no new developments to-day. The course of the inquest from to-morrow will be more closely watched and scrutinized, and it is needless to state every expression tnat drops from any of the witnesses to whom suspicion attaches of hav- ing anything to do with the outrage will be looked at from every [eps point of view. it is to be hoped that the spirit which has been so greatly aroused by one class of the citizens against the other will not lead to # perversion of law and justice. Temperate ac- tion Panove all things demanded. Ii there be any undue hurrying, any repetition of the arbitrary and irresponsibie course of proceedings, that took place last ‘Thursday at the inquest, the outside public will begin to think that this is nothing more than malice under the disguise of justice.

The Question in the Minds of Benjamin's Friends—Washburn Ahead of His Rival, but Ready to Burst the Concern if Ne- cessary—The Majority of Dele- gates Against Bold Ben and His Back-Pay Backers. ; Boston, Sept. 8, 1873. The work of the canvass is now aimost entirely, if not altogether, complete, and all that remains the work to be done at Worcester on Wednesday. To-morrow there will be a rush to that little city from every part of the State, and it the question which the Bostonians have been asking cach other all day, ‘Are you going to the Convention?’ is any criterion of the crowd it will be immense. The work to be done outside of the Convent.on is almost AS great as at a national convention. There are so many contested delegations, so many claimants to seats in the Convention whose pretensions are based on such widely diferent grounds, that at least a day must be spent in getting ready for business. Some delegates have contestants for their seats, because a check list was used, in con- sequence of which it is claimed that many republl- cans were not allowed to vote. This was the case in the city of Worcester itself, Then, again, there are claimants who demand seats because they al- lege democrats voted at the caucus, In some of the wards there was rioting, which is another rea- son for contesting delegations, It is probably true that there will be contesting delegations from most ofthe close towns, If there is A BOLT IN THE CONVENTION, which seems exceedingly likely, it will be before this work is finished or at the finish, anda bolt Seems certain from one side, or the other. The Washburn men have Announced it as their inten- tion from the beginning if Washburn 1s beaten; and now the Butlerites say it is among the possibillties in case he is nominated, A bolt needs not so much a justification as an excuse, and excuses are abun- | dant on both sides. The management of the Convention is likely to furnish Butler with many more. From the best informa- tion. obtainable this is likely to be his policy if fate is against him, though he is not known to have spoken a word on the subject, It is, however, a current rumor, and as it is advanced by some of his friends and is not entirely discredited by those’ who ought to know, it may be regarded as almost a certainty in the contingency indicated. As to the result in the Convention, that is still a matter of conjecture, The factions ditfer so widely in their figures that it is impossible to reconcile their estimates or gather anything like a certainty trom them, Both sides seem confident of A MAJORITY IN THE CONVENTION, The Washburn faction regarding the Governor’s vote as largely in excess of Butler's, while the Butler men expect to develop unexpected strength. How much of this is sincere is a matter of speculation; but to-morrow night, at Worcester, there will be such a thorough counting of noses that the strength of each side may be known be- fore midnight. It is not re however, that any count that-can be made previous to a test vote in the Convention will be satistactory. On one or other of the contesting delegations the test must be made; for the whole battle depends upon the action of the Convention in this regard. General Butler is himself a delegate from Gloucester, and, as in the Convention two years ago, he will manage for himself. ‘This Seems necessary on his part, as there is no one among his friends capable of undertaking a task so delicate. Whether he will manage well or il is among the questions which have troubled Boston all day, and BOSTON HAS, INDEED, BEEN SORELY TROUDLED. Nothing was talked of all day except Butler and his chances, the Convention and its prob- able result, and the chances of the dif- ferent candidates before the people in case of a@ bolt on either side. Principles have been lost sight of entirely, aud not a word is said as yet about the platform except by the Washburn men, on a single point—the back pay, which they desire to condemn in very strong terms as an ald in beating Butler, first, in the convention and then in the State, in case of his nomination or a boit. It would have been encouraging to General Butler if he had carried the Sixth ward of this city, as it was through the admission of the Washburn dele- gation from this ward that he was beaten two years ago. But it was carried against him to-nighi by a majority of 125 ont of a vote of 700. The Brahmins turned out toa man to cast a ballot against him, and the result is a surprise to Butler’s friends. It is an incident which shows THE DEEP HOSTILITY EXISTING AMONG TOE RICH TO GENERAL BUTLE ayd the determination with which they are work- ing to beat him and the (to them) dangerous tac- tion which he jeads, It is a result which seems to make a bolt necessary on his part if the Conven- tion is as sternly against him; ior itis plain that not only his defeat but tne annihilation of the | ernor of this State. i identified witn him is contemplated, The joston Journal (anti-Butlor organ) figures up to- night 546 for Washburn, 362 for Butler and 41 doubtful. If these figures are based upon the trag- ment of fact or reason, it woul seem that Butler's deieat is 0 already a foregone conclusion. He will fight the battle to the bitter end notwithstanding ; and if vanquished in the Convention, it is not im- possible as already indicated, that he wiil cov- lescend to allow the people to vote ior him on general principles. The Claimant Likely To Be Non- Suited—A Possible Chance for Gaston and His Unterrified. - SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 8—Midnight. It is believed here that Butler is’ beaten in the Worcester Convention by at least 150 votes, possi- bly 200, It is thought now he will surrender at discretion, but the temper of his opponents is un- relenting, and they mean to follow him op in some of the plainest speaking resolutions of the season. If Butler does not run inde- pendently there will be a great concentration of the anti-prohibition vote upon Gaston, the dem- ocratic candidate, who has accepted the nomina- tion, and with the secret help of Butler and his friends he may become a formidable candidate. Governor Bullock is to preside at the Convention. He is at heart for Batter, and would like to see a grand overturn in Massachusetts politics, as many other Jeading republicans would, but his selection is acceptable ail around. Even the Hoars approve. Dr. Loring has deserted Butler, seeing there ts nae to be made by hanging to his skirts any longer. “THE FALL CAMPAIGNS, Significant Article from a Leading Western Anti-Administration Jour- nal—The “Invisible or Insignificant” Democracy. {From the St. Louis Republican (anti-administra- tion), Sept, 5.) The State campaigns now going on, unimportant as they are supposed to be, strikingly illustrate the decay of the democracy asa fighting power. In not one of these States, with the exception of Texas, does the democracy stand forth as the ex- clusive antagonist of the republican party, while in nearly all of them it has sunk out of sight, eclipsed by @ new party with new issues. In Iowa the de- mocracy has formaily retired and given place to the anti-monopolists. In Mississippi it proposes to retire and give room %o the Alcorn boiters. In Onto a peopie’s party, with a third ticket, contests its claim to be the exclusive antagonist of its old republican enemy. In Virginia, there is no democracy at all; the opposing party to the republicans is called the conservatives. In Wisconsin, there is no democracy in the fleld; the democrats and liberal republicans have agreed to unite and nominate a ticket which shali not be democratic, but something else. In Minnesota the Jarmers have nominated a ticket, and it is not improbable that the democracy wilt yield in its favor. In Massachusetts the democracy have just made &@ nomination of a state ticket, but the party and its ticket, both, are overwheimed by the ab- sorbing issue between Butler and his republican opponents. Nobody in that State thinks, talks or cares about the democracy; the only ques- tion thought or talked of is which of two re- ublican jactions will carry the Worcester Donvention, and which of the two republican can- didates will be elected Governor, In the recent election in California it was pushed aside by a new | A aed called the anti-monopoly party, betng simi- jarly overshadowed as in Massachusetts, This isa pitiable showing for the party before Whose presence all other parties were ever accus- toshrink abashed, and which, when it a peared on the fleld, cepapied the whole of it.

[From the Albany Argus (Democratic), Sept. 8.] ‘The gossips are busy with the intentions of the Administration leaders respecting the next State Senate. The members of tne Conkiing Custom- house Ring have arranged matters pretty thor- oughly respecting th: coming State convention, and the game hands are busy with the composition of the Senate. It is said that nearly all of what are known as the ‘old Senators” are to be re- nominated, Winslow, of the Jetferson and Lewis district; Madden, of the Orange and Sullivan; Lewis, of the Erie; Woodin, of the vayuga and Wayne; Graham, of the Delaware, Chenango, and Schoharie; and James Wood, of the Wyoming, Livingston and Alleghany. We will not now repeat charges freely made by republican papers against some of the gentlemen named above; but, whether they are true or talse, it is said that the “machine” has been gauged to put them on the course again. | The railroad interests are said to be demanding the renomination of Baker in the Washington and Rensselaer district, and of Wagner in the Saratoga, Schenectady, Montgomery, Fulton and Hamilton district. Mr. Lowery has no opponent for the nomination in the Oneida district, and D. P.

Schoharie is laboring under the im- pression that they are entitled to the nom- ination and that it will be conceded to them. If this idea offers them comfortit will be pleasant for them to enjoy it while it lasts, though their tempers may be somewhat rumed when their minds come to be disubused of this impression. Few doubt the ability of Senator Graham to control the delegation froui this county, We believe it to 5¢ generally conceded that the party machinery of Chenango is in the hands of Judge Prindle and his iriends, If the people of Schoharie doubt what that influence wiil be, let them turn to the result of the management of Judge Prindle’s trial before the Senate last summer.

POLITICAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS, ee How some Congressmen “cover” their back pay into the Treasury—Ordering “covers” for a party ofa dozen at some grand hotel in Europe. The Winona (Minn.) Republican remarks that three-fourths of the farmers of that State are stanch republicans, and yet three of the leading candidates upon tie so-called “farmers’” tcket put in nominaiion at Owatonna are democrats, It is well known, too, that a large proportion of the agricultural population of Minnesota are of foreign birth, but every man upon the ticket is a native. Partial returns from the iitory of New Mexico indicate the election of Stephen Elkins, the republican candidate for Delegate, by about 2,000 majority over Golleger, the late democratic Dele- gate.

Townsend declines being considered a candidate for the republican nomination for Govy- The farmers in Aurora and other towns in Erie ‘ county, in this State, recently held a public meet- ing at the former place and adopted a series of re- solutions which indicate a purpose of following in the steps of their Western brethren. The Albany Argus (democratic) asserts that the terms of the call of the Democratic State Commit- tee meets with a universal response from the lead- ing papers of the interior. It says :—“In no quarter is there a disposition to repel any man or set of men opposed to the corrupt administration. The invi- tation for all to unite in the canvass 1s most cordial and hearty.” This is called “opening the doors, or the true policy.” While the democrats are thus extending the area of their field of action, the republicans are restricting theirs by keeping out from the party those who may have lately supported any of the candidates for national or State offices who were not placed in nomination by the regular conven- tions of the republican party.

Roach, anti-railroad demo- orat, to the Stave Senate instead of A. S. Hallidie, yndependent. Roach is a strong friend of Senator Casserly. His colleague on the ticket, ex-Mayor Frank McCoppin, a railroad candidate, was beaten by Bartlett, independent, who had 1,356 majority. James Otis, independent, is elected Mayor by 1,287 majority over McDonaid, who received the united democratic vote. P. J. White, democratic candi- date for Sherif, was beaten by William McKibbin, mdependent, Who received 2,754 majority. Patriek Crowley, candidate for Cniet of Police on both the independent and “liberal reform” tickets, was defeated by Theodore G. Cockrell, democrat, by a majority of 3,162. Crowley was op- posed by the Order of United Americans. Charles Hubert, democrat, was elected Treasurer by a majority of 150 votes over John B. Bauer, indepen- dent, Otto H.

The closest figuring possible indicates that Booth will have from forty-five to filiy votes on joint ballot. He is the growing man in the State, and gains popular strength daily. THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY. mite Gathering of the Unterrified Clans at Whilkesbarre—Water and Whiskey the Antagonistic Klements—Pure and Mixed Democracy. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 8, 1873, The democratic forces of old Luzerne are mar- shailing here “in their might,” and Wilkesbarre presents an extraordinary scene of animation. The city is flooded with delegates from every district in the county and candidates for the various oMces to attend the Democratic County Convention to be held here to-morrow and the day after. The interest manifested in the coming pro- ceedings far excels that of previous years and an animated scene is expected here to-morrow. From several districts as many as two and even three sets of candidates are about to put in an appear- ance, and, judging by the conversations I have had with several of them, will contest their seats in the convention with ardor, The list of can- didates for the Assembly presents thirteen names, among which are those of Colonel Wright, Mr. P. Delacey, Dr. Roon, Major Smith, P. Sey- mour, J. B. Adams, of the Scranton Democrat; Vv. . Moot McCarran, Major Whyte, W, Holland and oth ‘The offices of treasurer, prothonotary, clerk of the court, district attorney and commis- sioner also present a formidable array of names, and each candidate is surrounded by # vast circle Of irlends and sympathizers. To-morrow will be almost exclusively occupled with the presentation and acceptance of credentials and will form the most imteresting chapter in the history of the con- vention.
