, WASHINGTON. The New Tycoon of the District Enthroned by His Satellites. AN UNSUBSERVIENT SUBORDINATE. Boss Shepherd’s Lecture on the Finances of the District. OUTRAGED PUBLIC SENTIMENT VENTS ITSELF pol ab The National Capital in the Hands of Foreign Shylocks. A RIOT IN ALEXANDRIA, VA. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 1873, The New Tycoon of the District Formally Installed. The formality of recognizing the new Governor of the District formed an amusing scene to-day in she office of the Executive, corner of Pennsylvanta avenue and Seventeenth street. The satellites of she new administration gathered in squads, ready to do obeisance to its mandates. It was a motley Fathering, such as the anti-myg orga of the Dis- trict descrives as composed of falsifiers. One would have imagined that King Carrot had succeeded to the throne, Among his ministers is Mr. Wil- lam Stickney, son-in-!aw of the late Amos Kendall and President of the District Council. Common decency required that he should be present, but it did not take away from him his independence as a citizen, or belittie him as an official, He said on addressing King Carrot:— Your labors inthe past im improving our city — hat eminently success - 6 dul, and are fully appreciated. It you shall be as successful in relieving ug trom financial embar- rassments and establishing our credit at home and abroad upon a firm is, we shall be the first to congratulate not only ourselves but the people of this District and the whole country. On behalf of the members of the Council, [ promise you their cordial support in all wise measures to secure s0 desirable aresult, ~~. At this the King got wrathy, and read his subordinate (only in ofice, however) a caustic lecture on expressing opinions on matters belong- ang entirely to the throne. The President of the Council had alluded to financial embarrassments. He could not agree with him in his remark. He believed the District was really in a better financial condition than most other cities in the country of the same size. It was natural that im the sleepy condition they had found affairs when the present government of the District was inaugurated, they should incur a jarge debt in se- curing such improvements as would guarantee the stability of the city ag the seat of the general government, and he*belleved that in a much shorfer time than most are aware of the District Would'be freed trom this debt by the aid of the gov- ernment. That settled it. The statement made in these de- spatches of Sunday is now authoritatively con- firmed by the King himself. Carrot is monarch of all he surveys, and What te does not survey is done under the - direction of the President’s private secretary, and the bills are paid all the same. Tne disgrace which to-day overhangs the national capital can- not be too painfully described. The bonds which have been issued as security for the Distrtct’s indebtedness are mamly held in Germany, where the loan was placed under the representation that tt was authorized by Con- gress. In other words, Washington is mortgaged to Germany, andin the event of Congress failing to assume the indebtedness of the District, the humillating spectacle of a foreign Power threaten- ing to sell out the seat of government, as was the case when Washington city en- dorsed the loan of the Chesapeake and Onto Canal, and Holland demanded either payment orareplevin on the property of the city, will be enacted over again, But when the HeraLp sounds the note of alarm, warning the people that right under the shadow of the President’s mansion this impending disgrace was concocted, and that what ‘was once regurded as significant is now spoken of in derision; that any newspaper can be bought up with money and none others are. regarded as worthy of notice, it cannot be wondered at that all the sterling republican journals of the country simultaneously open their columns, and follow the dead of the Heratpin denouncing this encroach- ment upon the rights of the people. Despairing of receiving any assistance whatever from the press or powers that be in the District, the outraged citizens are now preparing a memorial, copies of which will be sent to the Governor of every State, and the President aud Speaker of every legislative branch in the country, praying that their Senators may be requested to carefully examine into the condition of affairs of the District of Columbia before any new appointments are confirmed, and if they are to be taxed for improvements, that it may be by men whose reputation in the community is not tainted ‘with frand or velled by tyranny, Against the inde- pendent press will be matched lobbyists, interested Congressmen and everybody else whose interests ‘are at stake in making the financial condition of effairsin the District appear respectable betore Congress when it reassembles. If necessary, even the President ts counted upon as the most valuable of icbbyists. For it is a notorious fact that during ‘the last session 0! Congress he devoted hours to interviews with representatives, the new Governor acting as doorkecper, and impre’sea them with the importance of voting every cent of money called for by the Appropriation bill for the improvement of the district, “The battle is not one of locality,” said an old sitizen of Washington to-day. “The same kind of a ring may be organized in every city in the sountry.”” For two years King Carrot has had everything ais own way, but the course of the HeraLp alarms him, and he ts surprised at this unexpectea Doinbardment, against which he had made no pro- vision. His organ, however, attempts to explain at, and says:— In accordance with the preconcerted pro- gemne referred to, the correspondent of the FRALD and * * * gent out their feariul blast against the President for his action in sppointing a successor to Governor — Cooke. The country is informed y these trathful genticmen, or rather oy tueir spokesmen, for ali the despatches were evuentiy by their phrase- ology the work of one hand, that the iudignation and excitement in Washington is invense and uni- versal over the appointment of the new Gov- eroor. ‘Thisis only the opinion of the evening organ of the Governor, although it guides the other papers in all their comments. The question here is still an pen one, whether the contempt General Grant entertained for correspondents during the war ‘will sustain itself in his scorn for newspaper advice ‘When Congress meets, and his courses seriously questioned by those having a right to do so. Almost ® Sanguinary Riot in Alexan- dria, Va., All About an Old Rallroad Track. An old railroad track laid by the government during the war, the ralis of which are claimed by both the Alexandria and Washington Ratiroaa Company and by the city of Alexandria, occasioned quite @ riot in Alexandria to-day. At the last meeting of the City Council an order was passed to take up the railroad track on Henry street, ana put that street in repair by selling the rails, Mr, Beach, the solicitor of the Alexandria and Wash. sngton Railroad, obtained an injunction. The in. A0ction was not filed, however, this morning. A train of cars belonging to the Alexandria and Washington Raiiroad came down the track as far as Duke street, when about 100 colored laborers, who were on it, disembarked and commenced tearing up the track, The news spread in #& snort time, Some 800 or 400 residents of NEW. YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1873—QUADRUPLE SHEET. 7 the city assembled. Colonel Stuart ordered the laborers to desist, and his orders: not being com- pled with, he, with a squad of police, arrested Mr. Dubarry, Superintendent of the road, and Josepn Wood and F, W. Esch, his assistants, who were Superintending the work, and carried them to the station house, where they were locked up in the celia, The work of tearing up the track ceased as soon as this arrest was mide; jor several of the citizens had by that time become very much ex- cited, and threats were made of dire vengeance upon any who should renew it. About two o'clock the arrested parties were brought before Mayor Berkley and Justice Mayo, but were re- leased, Colonel Stuart agreeing to withdraw his charge of disorderly conduct apd at- tempting to create a mot if Mr. Beach Would allow the question to be déeided upon legal grounds, While the case Was in progress a peti- tou jor a writ of habeas corpus, returnable in- Stantly, before Judge Lowe, was prepared for the release of the parties in arrest, and wou!l have been issued had not the Mayor concluded to dis- charge them, In the meantime the crowd of citi- zens on Henry street had torn up some of the rails on the north side of the train which had been sent down to carry away the rails, but did not suceced in doing #0 until the locomo- tive had made its ‘escape, and it was chased by men armed with stones, The | whole proceedings created great excitement throughout the city, and at times when the loco motive was chased, and when the laborers, drop- ping their picks, Were pursued up Henry street by the police with drawn fevolvers, it was thonght that blood would be spilled. After the settlement at the Mayor's office the laborers bad their tools restored to them, and at four o’clock this evening were relaying the part of the track torn up by the citizens, so that the captured cars could be recoy- ered, After the track north of the captured train had been relaid the locomotive backed down. The iron torn up from the south end of the track was put on the cars, and the laborers having gotten aboard, the whole train moved of, those on it cheering loudly. The tearing up of rails &c., in no wise interferes with travel, The Apaches on the Mexiean Border. The Governor of Sonora, Mexico, recently pub- lished in @ California paper a statement that, from certain circumstances, he believes the Apaches in Arizona are those who, day by day, rob and assas- sinate (he citizens of Mexico, The Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Mr. Smith, has replied to him in @ letter, dated to-day, that graat misapprehension has. existed in regard to the negotiations made with cochise by General Howard. These negotia- tions never took the form of a treaty, but Cochise agreed, in consideration of receiving rations only from the government and other help by which he should be able to live without plunder, to desist from depredations in the country. That Cochtse understood this agreement is evident from the fact that hé has frequently restrained some mem- bers of his band who desired to raid in Mexico, and had ordered off his reservation other Indians who had come in with booty, evidently trom So- nora, desiring to trade with his own band; and furthermore, that Cochise had expressed his readi- ness to join the United States forces to pursue and capture the band of fifty maraudiog Indians who had abandoned their friends and reservations, ian Feuds in Alaska, Rear Adifilral Pennock reports the charts and sailing directions of tue inland passage defective and its navigation intricate, and should not be attempted without an experienced pilot. Admiral Pennock had several friendly talks with the Alaska Indians. Many of the chiefs have visited tne ship and seemed to be impressed with the importance of being on good terms with us. There are only a few American traders located at the headwaters or in the vicinity, and there is no settlement except at sitka, The Saranac visited Sitka, where she remained seventeen days, during three-fourths of which there was@ hard rain. The population has much decreased, and there has been a great falling of in trade, Exclusive of the garrison there are not more than 300 inhabitants, mostly Kassians and half breeds. For some years past there has been very bad blood between the Stikine and Chilcot tribes, and when at Etolin harbor Rear Admiral Pennock was solicited by the Stikine clef to use his good offices in bringing about @ reconciliation, The Admiral talked the matter over with the “the Chilcota, whom “he found ready to bury ttle hatchet, Subseqnentiy & delegation o1 chiefs requested the commander of the Saranac, on his return to Etolim, to announce their coming for the amicable settiement of all their dificuities, The Saranac left Sitka August 19 and arrived at Bellingham Bay August 28, She remained at the latter place one day, U ersalists in Council. The Universalist Convention commenced | its session here to-day at Masonic Hall. About sixty delegates were present irom various parts of the country. The Convention was calted to order by Hon. S.C. Humphrey, the Presiaent of last year, and prayer was said by Rev. H. W. Rugg, of Rhode Island. Rev. Dr. Minor, of Boston, was elected President and Hon. 8. C. Humphrey, of Connecti- cut, Vice President of the Convention, the Secretary being Rev. J. M. Pullman. The usual committees were appointed on financial aud other business, The report of the Board of Trus- tees and that of the Treasurer were read’ from which documents it appears the debt of the Convention has been still further reduced, by receipts on account of the special fund, $3,853. The debt now amounts, rare 3 the Murray fund loan 0: $10,000, to $22,415—the fund amounts to $129,939. The ministerial relieffund of $8,000 has been paid in and invested. One hundred and sixty-five parishes have responded to the consti- tutional obligation in the matter of the annual collection, and their collections, together with the individual contributions, amount to $38,670, Under the head of general missionary work, with refer- | ence to the city of Washington, the re- port says:—This important point first en- gaged the attention of your Board, and the General Secretary was directed to give it such time and labor as might put the movement on its feet. His success was speedy and decisive. The parish responded earnestly to his appeals. The Board pledged ald to the amount of $1,250 a year, and, with the sum raised by the parish, bas secured the services of the Rev. C. H. Fay as pastor, and he has already entered upon his duties under auspices the most favorable. ‘There are more parishes than ministers, and for this reason the progress of the denomination is greatly retarded, but suggestions are made to sup- ply the need. The report concindes as follows :— Your Board review the labors of the year with no inconsiderable satisfaction. Substantial results have been reached and hopetul promises devel- oped. But few, indeed, of our desires and antici- pations have been completely realized; but more has been accomplished, especially in general mis- sionary work, than in any previous year, Yet, as soon as the Convention begins to show itself help- ful in this direction, the demand upon it is in- creased tenfold, The vitality of our faith in the hearts of its believers, even alter long periods of isolation, is shown in the growing de- mand, irom new and unexpected quarters, for books, tracts, papers and the ministry ot the Werd. Every hopeful and hetpful word brings back a re- sponse full of zeal and devotion. The fleld broadens before us; new and unprecedented opportunities arise. The widest comprehension of its duties and the most complete consecration to its work can alone make the Universalist Church equal to tue demands of its providential position, ‘The Convention took @ recess until the after- noon, which will be devoted to the reception of reports {rom committees. In the evening the new pastor of the Washington parish, Rev. C. H. Fay, will be installed, The installation prayer will be made by Rev. J. M. Atwood, editor of the Christian Leader; and the sermon will be preached by Rev. Dr. Minor, of Taft's College, Boston. Another Appval from the Yellow Fever Stricken City of Shreveport. Senator West to-day received the following de- spatch from the Mayor of Shreveport :— Sickness is on the increase. Do all you can for us. There is no money in the city treasury, and the poor are on ourjiands, and for lack oi tuads we find a dimculty in burying them, Insurance Matters Before the Swiss Asso- ciation. In the National Swiss Association to-day Mr. Schiaessfer, of the committee of the “Wenkel Breed Steptung,” the Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany, submitted a report of a plan for extending the usefulnesa of the company. The subject was before tug Bunde the entire day. aut the pre pening of the Trial of the American “Kid- visions were adopted fixing the amount to be paid on the death of a male member at $500, and on the death of a female member at $25¢.

The Noble Runaway in Jail in Winnepeg. nappors”—Beil, the Half Breed, a Witness—Threats Against His Life — Fears of a Riot. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 16, 1873 A special despatch to the 7ridune, from Fort Garry, says that Gordon Gordon, who fied from Fort Garry for the Rocky Mountains, some weeks ago, has been captured 500 miles west of here by a Manitoba detective, and now finds himself behind the bars in Winnepeg. A spectal term of the Court ef Queen’s Bench opened yesterday for the trial of the American prisoners charged with kidnapping Gordon. The Judge, in his charge to the Grand Jury, dwelt mainly onthe kidnapping. The charge is considered very fair and dispassionate, neither favoring nor prejudicing. It is be- jieved that no bill will be found against Merriam, who was arrested as one of the accessors, Attorney General Cornell, of Minne- gota, was introduced to the Court by Attorney Gen eral Clarke, and, !t is thought, will be allowed to appear for the prisoners, with Wovernor Austin and Mr. William Lachren as counsel, The Court then adjourned till seven o’clock this (Tuesday) morning. Riel, the man who made himselfso prominent in the half breed rebellion, will arrive here to-morrow, having been summoned asa witness, He is satd to be guarded by 300 half breeds, well armed, and bloodshed ts expected if he enters the town. The Canadian party brand him ‘as a marderer, he hay- ing caused the death of Thomas Scott, and declare that it is a disgrace for him to appear in Court as a witness, There are parties here who have sworn to shoot him on sight. PENNSYLVANIA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. ae get ble Splendid Display of Flowers and Fruits in Philadelphia—A Prelude to the Cen- tennial Exhibition—Fairmount Park To Be Given Over to the Society of Hor- tleulturtsts. PHILADELPHTA, Sept. 16, 1873, The exhibition of the Pennsylvania Horticul- tural Society opened this evening and will continue until the end of the week. The elegant apartments of the association are located upon Broad street, adjacent to the Academy of Music, and to-night sounds of music issue from the windows and the building itself is ablaze with light. A peculiar significance is attached to the present Exposition, because 1t is an overture to a general movement among horticulturists all over the country in behalf of the American Centennial. To-morrow delegates Irom every State im the Union meet in council, representing every floral and pomological society in America, into whose hands will be placed the land set apart in Fairmount Park for the Centennial Exposition, and the landscape gardening and floral adornments of this tract will be under their immediate supervision and control. THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE PRESENT DISPLAY to-night are briefly touched upon in the foliow- ing :— About the centre of the main hall is a temple formed of six magnificent pillars, which tn their turn are made up of innumerable bouquets, which, as the visitors depart, will be presented to the ladies, In the middie of this temple is a fountain giving out jets of Cologne, and suspended trom the interior of the dome are tube roses, camelias and other flowers grouped in such a shape as to repre- sent the familiar old Independence bell. The cost of the floral bell exceeds $200, while the expense of the temple and fountain was over $1,000, It was des! by Mr. Hugh Graham, and is formed of fowers grown by bim. THE DISPLAY OF FRUIT is superb and contributed from every quarter of the land, but few States having no representation. The names of the parties growing the handsomest fruit are as follows . G, E.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 16, 1873. | Rumors that have been circulating during the past week have amounted toa positive certainty that the Pennsylvania Railroad has succeeded in its endeavor to obtain control of tne Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, For more than a year this company has stood.deflant against | the efforts of the Scott party to assume the mastery of it, and the general belief was that it would stand | independent to the tast; but recent events are conclusive proof that it has become subservient to the Pennsylvania Railroad. The complaint of the Post OMce Department as to the p.acing Of postal ears in the centre of pas- | sepger trains has been avoided by separatimg the trains 80 that those through from New York ‘shall go directly over the Baltimore and Potomac Rail- road, while the Baltimore and Unio is debarred from @ connection north of Philadelphia. The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Ratlr has been sold out to the Pennsylvania interest, and through travel will in the future be entirely ‘under its control. The Baltimore and Ohio tn this contingency willat once push their through route to New York. | LOSSES BY THE RONDOUT FIRE. Ronpovt, N.

Previous to the shooting I was standing at the imposing stone, talking with two young inen, wio were making Bp The Methodist torms, when a young man, well dressed, and about twenty-f ur years of aye, came up and gaid to me, “Well, Georgia, how do you do?” to which I replieu; dqayry well, thank you; how are your” 1 noticed at this tune, jrom- the jfuskincss of his voice and his gener “"Y deportmest that he was consideravi/‘uuder the infiuence o: drink, His re- ply to mine was some vulgar language, unfit for printing in the columns of u paper. 1 then made the rejoinder that such language was indelicate, to say tue least. He then made a kick at me which I parried with a wooden side stick. HE THEN DREW HIS PISTOL and [ told bim | was not afraid of those things, ax Thad been a captain in the Confederate army {01 four years and I had seen plenty of them belore, He then left me and | thought the matver was ended, Shortly atterwards, the time being then, to the best .of my belief, about a quarter past Jour, my prooi was nded me and I went to my case to correct it, and while so dotug I Was shot in the back, Idid not see anybody fire the shot. Although there were about thirty men at work the assassin was aliowed to escape. [ sup- pore because nobody saw him come tn, and all eing engaged in their own work the assassin was permitted to escape. There was ont one eu- Ke trance to the room. I then walked about a couple of minutes and asked one of the boys to get me my coat, and [laid my head down on it. Feeling very ill 1 asked one of my friends to go and tell Dr. Fiuhrer, at the Park Hospital, that I was dangerousiy shot and to send the ambulance for me. I also sent tor my sister. 1am told that my would-be wurderer 15 ONE DENNY GALLAGHER.

It is to be hoped that the ball has not entered the ab- dominal cavity. WHY THE ASSASSINATION TOOK PLACE. It 1@ said by Himbrough that he refused to go on strike wheny the priuters last struck, about a ear ago, and is that he would have suffered in 18 OWN sclf-estéem ff he had left Mr. Green in the lr jor be wag under deep obligations to Mr. Ureen, the superintendent of the newspaper de- partment.

Nearty 2,000. visited Lion Park yesterday afternoun ant ‘ning, the occasion being the cele- oration of the third annual barbecue and prome- made concert of the Matthew T, Brennan Central As- sociation, which comprises representatives from all the different Brennan ward and district associa- tions of the city. The programme was as follows: 8 P.M. grand opening by Gratulla’s Seventh Regi- ment band of sixty pieces; 3 to4 P. M. promenade concert, with the following seiections:— 1. Overture ..... 2, Song, “Mollie & Selections, 'O: 4a ‘andecter”... “Beethoven Strauss Meniach 10, relettions, "Le Pertebole: U. Waltz, On the Beautiful Rhy 12, March, “Brennan Association”. From five to seven o’clock the promenade con- cert was resumed, at cight o'clock the fireworks were set off, and from eight until three o'clock there was dancing and various other amusements, in which the vast number of persons of both sexes heartily participated. An ox wetghing 1,000 | pounds was roasted whole on the grounds fronting the dancing latform, under the super- | vision of Charles Kupff, the proprietor of the Lion Park. Of this succulent feast, alter the cooking had been done, every one that chose partook of it quite freely amid shonts of merriment from the crowd who were assembled. One hundred police, under command of Captain McDonnell, of the Thirty-first precinct, kept order on the ground, énd Wel iee went merry as a f of the day was Mr. addressed a farge assem: blage on topics appropriate to the occasion. After making a tribute to the character and services of Sherif Brennan lie referred tothe grand idea of the age—immigration. He made 4 picture of Columbus on the Bridge of Pinos, in Spain, when called back by Queen Isabella, From the 120 people and ‘three caravels he drew the icture of our jmmigration Then urning ‘o the haturalization qnestion, he teferred to the early and constitutional history of that question, The power is in Congress to repeal all naturuliz: tion laws. He pledged himself, if he ever went again to Congress, to introduce a bill to naturalize once on declaration, without probation, all white men who came here. This will offset the negro vote. A negro votes, holds office and can be President without naturalization, Why not white men born abroad? Among tie Cpe tabi present during the day and evening were John Fox, Bernard Reiily, | Warden Tracy, Charles E, Loew, Timothy J. Camp beli, Sheriff Brennan and family, Richard B. Croker ; Edward B, Crummey, of Kings County Peniten- tlary; William Walsh, W. C, Gover; ‘Thomas Bren- nan, of Bellevue; William H. Shields; W. H.

Duryea’s Rotel piazza aad var- room, which ts the middle and both ends ot this town, a8 well as its general news and business exchange, was alive with old men and young men, with slouch and straw bats, with pants inside their boots and outstde and with a generally rustic appearance about them, There were but two black “plug hats in the party, and they were worn by two very respectably appearing men, Of course it must not be assumed that the other people did not look eminently respectable also, merely because they didn’t wear high silk tiles. They all looked as though they Worked for their living, and some of them looked ‘as if iheir labor was fairly remunerative. Futerpean Hall, in which the meeting was held, is @ room about seventy feet long by twenty-eight feet wide and is a tolerably neat auditorium fora country Village, It is on the second floor of the building, and is approached by a flight of now rickety steps on the east side, which have become rotten and punky with an old green mould that has settled on them.

Should there be any legal objections to the levying of a tax upon the citizens of the township for the spe- cific purposes contemplated by this meeting, the action of the meeting will be rendered valid by the passage Of aspecial act. Not a soul identified with the tar party Was present among 200 or 300 per- sons at the conclave. The meeting was called to order at half-nast three oicigek by Squire Cornelius Godirey, Justice of the Peace. The call for the meee was then read by the Town Olerk, Mr. D. L. Baylis. Mr, CHARLES T, DURYEA moved that a committee of stx be appointed to drait resolutions in accord- ance with the call and expressive of THE SRNSE OF THE MERTING. He proposed that J. G. Woodhull, E. K.

It is,evidently the intention to make the work in his' case short, sharp and deci- sive. At the opening of the Court this morning Dis- trict Attorney Tutulll, immediately upon the pre- sentment of the indictment, moved on the trial at once. The motion was opposed by Messrs. Stansborough and Smith, and after a brief debate it was post- ong It will probably be brought on early next week, Those Legs and the Boot. To THe Epiror OF THz HERALD:-~ Thave often read and heard {t stated that physiologist who is @ physiologist, by being pat in possession of a bone or small portion of a skeleton, can give very accurate dimenstons of the animal to whichit belonged. Will this theory, or science, hold good as to the human frame? and has it been applied to those ‘legs’? we have heard so mach about in the Kelsey case? Even if it should not as to the leg bone, there may exist a sumictent dis- crepancy between that “boot” and the foot, or its skeleton, to satisfy all just people that those “legs” never belonged to Kelsey. If these should prove a “iit lam aware it would prove nothing materially ; but a marked discrepancy would prove everything that the “tar party’? could wish. LinvEN, N, J. . W. THE NEWARK TWEEDITES. Sweeping Charge of Judge Depue—The Case of Broadwell Before the Grand Jury—Meeting of the Citizens’ Com- mittee of Onc Hundred. The Essex County Court opened yesterday in Newark. The most important feature was the charge of Judge Depue to the Grand Jury. After drawing attention to the numerous cases of homicide, &c., which would come before the grand inquest, the Judge dwelt at length on the frauds fm the city govern- ment of Newark. He charged strongly on the duty of doing justice to Broadwell. He said that separate indictments could be found against him for every Separate wrongful act of his, He took occasion to point out fully the law governing such ceses and urged that the return of the moucy did pot condone the offence, ‘The charge excited a good deal of comment yes- terday, and everywhere the Judge was commended for thus early treating the matter properly, who sat back in a corner, said, a8 goon as the re- port was rei “That don’t amount to noting.” Colonel A, GENTRY asked whether it was the intention of the committee that the meeting should pass upon this preamble and resolutions as a whole. Supervisor Woodhull said they were submitted for whatever action the meeting de- cided to take. Mr. E. K. Bryar moved that the preamble be adopted separately. A ayer whose name no one seemed to know, moved as an amendment that the report be first received. His motion was carried by a viva voce vote without a dissenting voice, Colonel GENTRY asked for the reading of the pre- amble, It was read, and on Mr. Bryar’s motion it ‘was adopted with a thundering aye. ‘The unknown taxpayer, who was standing on a bench ali the whiie, moved the adoption of the first resolution, Mr. Bryar sald he desired this resolution adopted as ic stood. It had been drawn in that form go as to be an endorsement for the Supervisor to go before the county Board of Super- visors with, and would show the authority he had Jor coming before them with that request. Colonel! Gentry said that it might beya very doubt- ful matter when the Board of Supervisors would meet. He did not want the action of this meeting clogged by any delay. He was one who wanted to see effective action, and if money was to be ex- pended he Wanted to know how soon and how it was to bedone. The taxpayer, inoog., moved that Supervisor Woodhall explained that the Supervisors would meet by or on the first Tuesday of October, Colonel Gentry then withdrew his objections, and said he would second tae motion of the gentiemau for the adoption of the resolution, The resolutions were adopted unantinonsly, Mr. BRYAR said he would like to tuform the meet- | ing of a few facts in reference to his last resoiu- tion. It might at first sight be suposed that it was not the intention of its framers to offer any | reward on behalf of the town. The committee, daring their deliberations, became convinced that there was no legal way in which this meeting ould proceed to raise money by ax for the purpose for which this; mecting was convened, and they therefore con- cluded to recommend that money be raised in the | manner designated. They had fully discussed tne | power of the meeting before coming to this con- clusion, although they had not particalarizea their reasons in the resolution. The money would un- | doubtedly be put to its proper nse in endeavoring to push this matter to @ succesaful issue in tts legal aspect, and if tue amount realized was sam- clent they gonid offer a rare ent Colane] GENTRY 8; opinion this msetang wad azeeintted ii Medion to the rights and dictates of a great princi; the principle of the Magna Charta—a principle the exercise of which had driven kings from their thrones—a prin- ciple which was the foundation of our system of government, This principle nad assembied them here now, and it was that which called upon this community to say that this stain—this deep, dark and damnable stain—be wiped out. r and | jeathers!
