The question ts to be con- sidered to-morrow ip its enurety, and, judging from the reports of the committces and the speeches thus far made, there will be a unanimity of sentiment against the ratification of the creaty. The manufacturers claim that they cannot compete with the manufacturers of the States on the one hand and of Great | Britain on the other.

Meeting of Labor Reform Conven. tion—The Resolutions Adopted—No Nominations Made. Soura FRAMINGHAM, Mags., Angust 12, 1874 The annual State Labor Re‘orm Convention sa- sembied in Harmony Grove, South Framingham, to- day, to consider macters relating to the approach- ing gubernatorial contest and the interests of the party. There waa @ fair representation from dif- ferent sections of the Commonweatth, the attend- ance, however, not being as large as if the regular nominations as well a8 a platform had been pro- posed. Mr, EB. M. Chamberlin, of Boston, Chairman of the State Central Committee, called the Conven- tion to order and made the opening address. He reviewed the Ten Hour law passed by the last Legislature, and urged bis hearers to continue their efforts for an Eight Hour law to apply to fac- tory operatives, At the close of Mr. Chamberitn’s remarks the Convention organized by choosing J. V. Chase, of Boston, President, The attendance was very stim, not over forty persons being present at the organ- ization, The Committee on RESOLUTIONS presented a series, which Mr. Chamberlin read, ‘Lhe first one favored eight hours labor for corpora- tions; the second, half time for schools, inspectors of factories and free halls; the third refers to A. B. Mullett’s action, @nd demands a Congresmonal | investigation concerning him; the fourth, to the Hoosas Tunnel Railroad, advocating its possession by the State and the building of @ railroad to the West; the fifth, concerming holding the public lands West for actual settters; the sixth refers to the circulating medium, issuing money upon the credit of the government, dc. the seventh recommends the yposiniment ora committee of five to attend to ‘tory laws and legislation, and the eighth censares various State Senators for Aa gave ‘the Ten Hour law. The sunject of nominating A LABOR REFORM TICKET for State officers was discussed at considerable length. Mr. Griffith, of Somerville, said he was uraged at the small number present, and did not understand why the attendance was so small, He said he could not vote for Gaston because, for one reason, he was counsel of the Metropolitan Street Ratiway Company, a corporation which is endea- voring to destroy Boston Common, tne only place where working people can assemble. He also vetoed the proposal to open the Public Library on Sunday. He oeljeved in the advisavinty of making a straight nomination for the gake of defeating the demccratic party, which had proved itself no friend of the labor re.orm movement. £. D. Linton, of Onarlestown, argued that mo! would be gained for the cause by @ neutral posi- tion, By thus holding the balance of power the party could be kept parer than by admitting the scum of other parties. N. W, Stoddard, of Brockton, took the otherside, declaring that the capitalists would never ac- knowledge the righteousness of the labor move- ment until they were made to feel the welgnt of the labor vote, A. J. Bates, of Abington, eaid it ‘was unwise to make @ nomination, but the labor reformers should go into their own localies and nominate home tickers. Jenny Collins spoke elo- uently in favor of nominating a State ticket, fhe Convention. finally voted to 12 against making nominations. The resolutions were adopted and the Convention dispersed.

The Place Abandoned by the Whites and Sacked by the Negroes. A CALL FOR REINFORCEMENTS. pss Reai DORs Me LP Shee Authority from the Governor to Suppress the Riot. Memrnis, Tenn., Aagust 12, 1874, Captain James Lee, of the steamer St. Francis, which arrived from below this morning, says alter the negroes, who had Austin surrounded, were repulsed yesterday, tuey disappeared, and the story soon circulated that they were murdering the women and children leit uaprotected on the surrounding plantations, which caused the men Who had been de/ending the place to start for theit homes to protect thetr families. Austin was soon leit without any defenders, excepting one or two white men, and the negroes came in And took possession, and proceeded to break open saloons and stores and help them. Selves, At the last accounts they had committed Mo acta of violence toward the few whites who Were unable to get away; but as they were be- coming drunk fears were entertained that they Would burn the village. Messengers were sent to Captain Lee asking him to land there; but he had &@ large number of refagees on board, some of whom the negroes had threatened to kili—Dr. Phillips, late republican member of the Legisia- ture, being of the number—ana they begging him Not to do eo he passed on up without landing. General Chalmers came up on the St, Francis to Peter's Landing, where the St. Francis met the whites with the reinforcements from here, He ‘Was requested by the Deputy Sherif, tn the ab- sence of the Sheriff, to take command of the men, and he went back with them. They will land at O. K. Landing and endeavor to OUT OFP THE RETREAT OF THE NEGROKS from the hills, and doubtiess ere this the whole force has been captured, as the negroes had no suspicions of the approach of thia force and were too busily engaged in debauch to be prepared to meet it. General Chalmers is a manof well known courage and coolness, and his being in command gives an assurance that no blood will be unneces- sarily shed. It is proper to state that POLITICS HAVE NOTHING TO DO with this trouble, and that Mayor Woodson and a number of other men who have been proscribed by the negroes are republicans. The Appeals special from Helena this morning, after recounting the occupation of Austin by the negroes, as already reported, says:—‘‘At Bennett Landing Colonel Morgan held a council and stated that it was too hazardous to make an assault on the blacks intrenched at Austin, owing to the want of proper authority, sultabie number of men and ammunition, and he preferred landing at Moons, above Austin, where he could place him- self in better condition and await Executive authority. General Chalmers came on board. He objected to landing at Moons, and insisted on landing at O, K. or Shoo Fly, most of the officers Sgreoin with bim, To this Colonel Morgan objecte sul a8 being in the midst of the enemy and jecting the command to immediate attack from all sides while unprepared for it.’? THK EXCITRMENT IN MBMPHIB.

THE NARRAGANSETT GUN CLUB. Details of the Shooting—Mr. Schuyler Crosby the Winner. Newronrr, R. 1, Angust 12, 1874. Quite # fashionable assemblage thronged the grounds of the Narragansett Gun Club to-day to witness & handicap pigeon match between the members of the New York Yacht Club and their guests, who have accompanied them during the cruise. The weather was delightful and the sport was thoroughly enjoyed. The prize offered was a cup presented by the Commodore of the New York Yacht Club. There were twenty-seven entries, among them some capital shots, and the match was governed by the rules of the Hurlingham Club of England, waich, among other things, provides that the standard bore of the gun tobe used shall be number twelve, Kleven pigeons were provided to be shot at by each contestant, but any one missing Jour birds in succession was ruled ous. THE BOUNDARY was eighty yards. As will be seen some of the marksmen brought down their birds in guoa style, A fine balmy breeze from the southward, biowing in the direction of tne line of fre, contributed to make matters so pleasant that even had the re- doubtable Bergh been on the grounds, he could scarcely have resisted the temptation—provided he had been introduced by @ member of the club— Ol trying his chance for extra honors before the array of beauty in attendance. Baker's patent pneumatic traps, five in number, were used on the occasion, and, considering wae dificulties of this metnod of pigeon shooting over the ordinary style, several of the contestants did very fairly. True there were \ucky birds and un- lucky birds, Some of them loath to leave good company, and others wild with detight at their re- lease trom the traps. But altogether the shoot- ing, especially toward the close, was creditabie. THE NARRAGANSET? GUN CLUB, {t should be mentioned, though of comparatively recent formation, has already established itself a8 @ first class sporting organization, many of whose members are well Known for skill in various sports. * Within a short period its list of members has rapidly increased, and, as there seems to be Gn earnest desire to promote its welfare, there ts reason to believe it will soon include some of the very best amateurs in the country. The rules are strict, and contestants are compelled to adhere to them, go that the winuer of a match has some rea- son to be gratified with his success, The club bold regular meetings on Mondays and Saturdays: These add @ pew variation to the many amuse- ments of Newport. Now that they are well under way some interesting contests may be looked for- ward to, Some of THR ROLES governing the matches are admirable and leave little margin for the competitor. For instance, each bird must be recovered within the boundary if required by aay interested, or it mast be scored as lost, ant a bird once out of the ground should return and fall dead within the boundary tt must be gsoored lost, bird on the ground with the first barrel ts ‘no bird;’ but it may be shes on She, greund with the second barrel if it has been fired at with the firat barre! while on the Wing. The snooter, when he 1s at the mark ready to shoot, must give the caution, ‘Are you ready?" to the puller, anu then call ‘Pull’ before which ume the butt of the gan must be held clear below the armpit; otherwise the reieree declares no bird, ‘These and other rules by which the members of the Hurlingham Club abide nave been wisely adopted, so that under all circumstances it requires nos a litsle skill and practice to enter with any prospect of success into the contests given under the auspices of the Narragansett Ciub. Aa already mentioned the match to-day brought together several good marksmen who, by way of variety, dropped the tiller for the gun and entered the list of competitors, Not a little speculation had been toduiged inas to the probable winner. | The best of humor prevailed, while a large attend- | ance of ladies doubtless contributed to the spirit fat the generous rivairy which the contestants dis- layea. ef THR GROUNDS OF THE CLUB are very pleasantly situated, commanding a charm- ing view in all directions, and their arrangements leave little to be desired. It was aiter one o’olock when all the competitors appeared on the scene of action, and, as on all occasions of the kind, the ap- proaching contest and pigeon shooting nerslly formed the main theme of conversation.

Next followed Mr. 7. 5 ‘an Buren, who, at 253, yards, managed to dispose of 8 birds, some of his shots eliciting applause. Mr. E. B.

It will be remembered that, owing to the caim which prevailed yesterday evening, none of the competing veasels passed the stake- boat within the required eight hours, and acoord- tugly a meeting was held on board the flagship this morning to decide whether the race should be sailed over again from this ports or elsewhere. A Pigeon match had been arranged among the yachtsmen (or to-day, and it was thought that the race would probably be sailed elsewhere; but there being an expressed desire that the contes- tants of yesterday should again try conclusions, especially as there was a tempting breeze from the soutuward all the morning, it was finally re- solved, after a short discussion, to allow the com- peting vessels another trial. There were not, however, 80 many entries as on the preceding ai tne Alarm, Idler, Foam, Azalia, Coming and Wa: Ward not appearing at the start. THR ENTBIES, Owner. L. Garner... W. H. Thomas.

Professor Lovering, of Cambridge, retired from the chair of President whict he has occupied during the past year, wel- coming Dr. J. L.

While | in the vicinity of Point Judith the Gracie made judicious tack to the southward, instead of keep- | Ing in shore like the other sioops, After weather: | ing the lighthouse the Vision, Arrow and Vindex | tacked again. ‘The experiment of the Gracio proved successfal. By tacking to the southward | this well known racer kept the flood tide on her lee and swept her up to windward, and although she held on a little too far, by the time she was of the buoy, her position was fully two miles to windward of all the contestants. Meanwhile the Wanderer | gained considerably on the Magic, and by haif-past | one o'clock was upon her lee quarter, the Rambler | at this time being a long way astern; but the | Ramoler, doubtless seeing the advantage soon to ye gained by the Gracie, aiso made a long atretch to the southward, the Magic and Wanderer mak- | ing one tack in shore before they venturea in the same direction. The result of this was that when the three schooners were near Block Island, the Rambler had made up or all lost time. ROUNDING THE BUOY.
