The banquet to-night to the American naval officers was brilliantly successful. Atong the guests wero the American Consul! and a large numbér of leading mer- chants, ‘The toasts to Queen Victoria and President Grant were drunk with enthnsiasm. The speeches wero very brief Admiral YWordon, responding to the toast to the American Navy, e_expreasion 9 his appreciation of the kind feeling which Ts ¢7ery whore onteHgined by the people of Eng- land toward the United States, aiid in the pamo of his government and his country he reciprocated the éxpres-” sions of this good feeling.

The Admiral was loudly applauded throughout, The Mayors of all the Hampshire boroughs and the heads of all the public departments in Southampton have been invited to the banquet to be given by the corporation to the officers of the American squadron on Tuesday next, . DATE OF DEPARTURE FROM SOUTHAMPTON NOT YET DETERMINED ON. Sournampros, Angust 20, 1875, The date of departure and the destination of the United States squadron now lying in this harbor have not been determined, but it will probably sail on the Ist of September for Plymouth, where it will anchor a short time, and then sail in the direction of Gibraltar, THE COLORED CONVENTION. THE PATRONAGE OF THE ADMINISTRATION NOT FAIRLY DISTRIBUTED—DISCONTENT AMONG THE COLORED OFFICE-SEEKERS—THEIR PARAMOUNT CLAIMS OVERLOOKED—IMPORTANT ACTION .AS TO PETTY LARCENY DISQUALIFICATION. Ricnaoyp, Va., August 20, 1875, The Colored Men’s Convention, after much confusion and a great deal of noise and uproar, got well to work to-day, and gave an out cropping or two of their desires, intentions and purposes. It appears that they are not only dissatisfied with the manner in which they are treated, or rather with the way in which they are neg- lected by the white people of the State, but they don’t at all like the disposition shown by the federal adminis- tration to snub them on all occasions where federal patronage is the consideration, and overlook their para- mount claims to office. The complaint, especially, is of the appointment of white men, who are no better, if 80 good, as democrats, while they are wholly neglected. THE RESOLUTIONS, », ‘The following preamble and resolutions perhaps con- tain the bulk of their grievances, and set forth more fully their only manifesto hitherto made the ob jects and purposes of the Conventiona, The Committee on Resolutions reported the following preamble and resolutions:— Belioving in a republican form of government such as emanated from the reversionary right of ull power, that it should not or would not be deemed improper. or impertinent, for us, who represent nine-tenths of the republican voters of Virginia, to state candidly and earnestly some of our griev- ances, which we have borne patiently as a and to call the attention of the administr ask, respectfully but firmly, that they be noticed, Bhe Powers was a tender of friendly offices, not interven- tion, and thinks that the refusal of Turkey to accede to their propositions was not final. THE STEPS PROJECTED TO INSURE PEACE. Parts, August 20, 1875, Le"Temps says it has recetved information confirma- ory of Le Nord’s article, to the effect that Russia, act- Ing in conjunction with Germany and Austria, intends making an appeal to the Powers of Europe in favor of Rettling the Herzegovinian difficulty by an understand- Ang among all the countries interested, thus averting all anger of a European war, WHE TREATY POWERS HOLDING SERIOUS LAN- GUAGE. Brvsseus, August 19, 1875, Le Nord, the Russian organ, discussing the Turkish nsurrection, says that Russia, Germany and Austria Tein accord on the point that the Eastern question shall not be raised. Peace has been temporarily dis- turbed, but the general peace is secure beyond attack. France and Italy will, doubtless, be invited to join these fhree Powers. Turkey must recognize the need of end- Ing the intolerable régime and of proceeding seriously swith reform, which has heretofore been a mere pre- fence. MOVEMENTS OF THE TURKISH TROOPS.

DROWNED WHILE BATHING, r Port Janvis, August 20, 1875. « John Pastoria, an Italian, was drowned last evenim! about eight o'clock, while bathing in the Neversink River in this village, He was seized with cramps and sank before assistance could be rendered, His body bas mot been recovered.

The Chairman had repeatedly to call upon the sergeant-at-arms to preserve order. After a discussion the resolutions were referred back to the Commitive on Federal Relations. . REPORTS OP COMMITTRES. The committee subsequently brought in a report recommending that this Convention should not adyo- cate the claims of any man for office, which was adopted. The Committee on Education brought in a report set- ting forth that the colored people were unfairly treated in the manner in which the public school system was carried out, and representing that they had been griev- ously jnsulted by Dr. Ruffner, the present Superintend- ent of Public Education; but in view of the fact that a convention of colored school teachers is to meet here next week the committee recommended that no action ‘be taken at this time, which was agreed to, A PETTY LARCENY RESOLUTION. A resolution was also adopted denouncing the consti- tutional amendment which makes petty larceny a cause for disfranchisement, which is now before the people for their votes. This they consider a measure aimed exclusively at the colored men, who are supposed to do most of the petty thieving in the State, and, as one of them remarked, “It is very hard a poor negro can’t take a few chickens without losing his right to vote,” A MASS MEETING. The Convention then adjourned to attend a grand mass meeting on Broad street, where many addresses were made, the most remarkable of which was one by Rev, William B. Derrick, @ most influential colored preacher, who created quite a sensation by advising them to let politics alone and deyote them- selves to the real improvement of the race through educational labor. The white people were in the majority, and it was madness to war against them. He is one of the ablest colored speakers tn the South, and he was listened to with great attention. His remarks made a deep impression, and will, no doubt, be productive of great good. The most perfect order prevailed while he was speaking and at the close of his remarks the mass meeting adjourned, ‘The Convention meets again to-morrow, THE NEGRO OUTBREAK.

It will require the trial of the prisoners, which occurs on Monday next, to determine whether the negro out- break was a plot or a panic, but the Governor being in- terviewed thinks there was @ plot, which was “discon. certed by its premature discovery. He also says that if insurrection be proved the law which inflicts death as its punishment should be enforced, TWO HUNDRED AND FIPTY BENCH WARRANTS. Judge Herschel V. Johnson has issued 250 bench war- rants, and a large number of arrests have been made on other warrants, At Wrightsville, 13; in Johnson county, $4; at Tennille, 47; at Midway, 65; at Sanders- ville, 50, and some 65 at Waynesboro. In Washington, Burke, Johnson, Wilkinson, Dodge, Jefferson and Lau- rens counties the negro military companies were under orders to move to-day, and, with the exception of one company at Sandersville, which refused, were re: but the object appears, from the only well authenticate documents so far found, to have been a sort of military and political mass meeting. The house of Candy Harris, who issued the alleged order to kill the whites, was searched, and from letters found there he was in the possession ef money from unknown sources to be dis- bursed for political purposes, and 2,000 stand of arms, Minnie rifles were promised from unknown parties in South Carolina, ‘THE NEGROES DISPERSED.

OPINION OV THR NEWSPAPERS. The State papers differ widely in opinion, but agree fn thinking a war of races ridiculous. The Atlanta Constitution says :— “The negroes are crazed with passion and poverty of the most abject degree,” and thinks the disturbance engineered to influence the Ohio election, he Atlanta Herald thinks it a tempest in a teapot; and the Savannah Advertiser finds more imagination than fact in the reports. The Augusta Consti¢ulipnatist says:—“An effort is now on foot is South b&ed discord between the whites and blacks,” and advises the arrest of suspicious white men, The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel would not be as- tonished to hear of bloodshed. The Mi ‘The negroes are mis incon Telegraph says: guided and to be pitied, and have no chance in the ‘world against the whites.” NO PCRTHER DEVELOPMENTS, ‘There are no further developments in re; in Burke and rd to the ashington WASHINGTON, FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasmixeros, August 20, 1! SENATOR THURMAN ON PARTY PROSPECTS. A personal and political friend of Senator Thurman said to-day, in reply to the question whether he be- Ueved the Senator had any doubt about Ohio going democratic, that the Ohio canvass had between them been thorohighly FevIcwed, and while he was obliged to say Benator Thurman’s hopes were not encouraging the Senator did not give utterance or hint of any dissatisfac- tion with the management of affuirs in the State. What he regretted the most was the financial issue which would be used against the democratic party in 1 with the same cogency that the war measures bed been used by republicans against the President nominee of the democratic party in 1864 and 1868. In other words, it was asin to be a democrat, and Whatever the financial convictions or political views of the opponents of the republican party, persecution of democrats would save republicans for office hereafter. It is understood here among the friends of Senator Stevenson, of Kentucky, that he has the personal assurances of General Williams and Goy- ernor Leslie that in the event they cannot secure the election to the United States Senate they will use their influence in favor of Stevenson as against Beck, who is an aspirant, but who did not desire re-clection to the House of Repreentatives. INTERESTING TO COASTERS. The Treasury Department to-day received an opinion from the Attorney General to the effect that a previous ruling of the department that only thirty cents per ton could be coliected on undocumented vessels engaged in’ the coasting trade was contrary to the United States Statutes, and that $1 30 must be collected, as before the passage of the Revised Statutes, This reverses an opinion of the Treasury Department that will give owners of undocumented vessels some trouble, as the lesser rate has already been collected, THE OCTAVIA AGAIN. o WAsuincrox, August 20, 1875. ‘The Treasury anthorities are much exercised over the tender regard the State Department has for the feelings of diplomatists. It appears that the revenue cutter Mosswood, ordered to search for the whereabouts of the Octavia, has ben too close to New York to be eflicient for revenue service, and, as the Octavia was a suspected vessel, the Collector was ordered by the acting Secre- tary of the*Treasury to give the vessel an active cruise. ‘The Treasury Department assumes all responsibility for its action, without thanks to the State Department. THE SECRETARYSHIP OF THE IN- TERIOR. Curcaco, Ll, August 20, 1875, Hon. J. Russell Jones, as to the truth of the report that he had been tendered the Secretaryship of the Interior, replied that matters were in such a shape at present he could not give a definite answer.

Among the recent arrivals at the Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs is ex-Governor Vance, of North Caro- lina, He delivered a lecture there last Wednesday be- fore the friends of the Southern Historical Society. Judge Manning, of Louisiana, presided. General Gil- mer, of Georgia, and General Custis Lee were vice presidents, Governor Vance claimed. for North Carolina a precedence in con- tributions to the Southern cause. He referred the defeat of the Confederacy to mismanagement on the sie of the civil authorities, and said that upon the re- sal of Mr, Davis to respond to the Hampton Roads peace commission several Confederate Congressmen pro- posed to move in the matter, but for want of backbone took no action. He’ spoke bitterly of the refusal of the government to return the archives of North Caro- lina or permit copies to be taken. NEAR SARATOGA. Saratoga, N. Y., August 20, 1875. A collision occurred at about two o'clock this after- noon, near Mechanicsville, between an extra engine running from Whitehall and the regulae up train, due at Saratoga at 2:25 P.M. The special was running slow, Both engineers saw that a collision was inevitable, and, reversing their engines, jumped off, and were not injured. The locomotives were both smashed, but nobody was injured Tho cause of the accident is reported to be a misunderstanding about the time table, the figures being blurred. Tho engineer of the extra engine supposed that he had time to reach Mechanicsville before the regular train was due. Trains are running regularly to-night. SMASH-UP THE BALTIMORE FAILURE. Baxtimore, Md., August 20, 1875. A statement of the assets and liabilities of Graham & Co., grocers, who suspended on Tuesday last, was sub- mitted to the creditors yesterday.

A proposition to accept the notes of the firm for the entire indebtedness at six, twelve, eighteen and twenty- four months, with interest, was suggested and met favorable consideration.

Four Persons Killed on the Hudson River. ONE LADY CRUSHED TO DEATH. Fatality at a Pleasure Party on Iona Island. Iona Istanp, August 20, 187! Heartrending disasters occurred at this well known Hudson River summer resort and picnic ground late yesterday afternoon, by which at least three persona, if not four, lost their lives, Four excursion parties came here, in all numbering 7,000 or 8,000 men, women and children. The first to arrive was the steamer Long Branch with two barges, with Masonic and Odd Fellows organizations on board from New York and Brooklyn. Then came the Wyoming with two barges from down the river, then the William Fletcher with a barge, and the Armenia also landed a large number on her up trip. All the day long the greatest enjoyment was had with- out anything happening to mar the pleasant time; but thrilling scenes were to be enacted on the departure which the excursionists little dreamed of, and the vic- tims were to be among those who came on the steamer Long Branch, A LADY KILLED, At about five o'clock P. M, it was supposed all were on board, and the steamer and barges were moving slowly away from the dock amid the ringing of bells and blowing of whistles, when suddenly the attention of the officers of the boat was attracted to six or seven men and one lady standing on the dock shouting for the boat to stop so that they could get on board. The engine bell was rung and the boat backed, and then the bell was rung to go ahead again. The barge on the west side of the steamer was close to the dock, and while she was moving two of the men jumped on board, and the third one was in the act of helping the woman on board. As the lady sprang to tho rail she was caught between the dock and barge and crushed to death almost instantly, Her shrieks were most heart- rending for a minute or more, when she expired. The gentleman in endeavoring to save her had his right arm crushed from the elbow joint to the shoulder, Both were dragged on board as soon as possible, but their names could not be ascertained as the steamer moved off immediately, It is believed, however, that the gen- tleman was a member of the Koystone Lodge of Odd Fellows, wherever that council is located, This terrible affair seemed to cause the greatest excitement on the steamer and barges as they moved off; but all on board were destined to witness more thrilling scenes, TWO MEN DROWNED. The vessels had got but a little way out in the river when ‘four men came hurrying to the dock, one being attired fn the garb of a policeman, They were anxious to regain their friends on the steamer Long Branch. A little boy, twelve or thirteen years of age, sat in a small boat near by, and said he would take them out to the steamer if they would harry up. Parties who saw the belated excursionists say that they were all in- toxicated. They all rushed pell mell into the small boat, and when the last one jumped in she was a short distance from the dock, and his weight on one side caused her to capsize, and four men and the boy were precipitated into the water. Captain @. M, Clark, of the little steamer Eva, which plics between Tona Island and Peekskill, says that his vessel had just reached Iona Island. When the small boat was upset a bhawser was thrown toward the men in the water, The policeman was at that time struggling terrifically with one of the drowning persons, and it was thought both would sink, but the policeman managed tw seize the hawser, and, getting loose from his dangerous companion, was dragged safely to shore. The lino ‘was then thrown to the man the officer had been struggling with. The poor fel- low was all out of sight except the crown of his head and was seemingly unconscious and made no attempt to seize the line, Just then asmall boat, which had put ont from the shore, reached him, and he was dragged out of the water and carried to the dock and laid down on the planking, and attempts were made to resuscitate him, when he was heard to whisper, ‘Let me alone; [’ll soon be all right;"’ but in fifteen minutes afterward he died. ‘The capsized boat was at this time lying keel up, and the third man had hold of the keel. Another small boat reached him, and he was saved ‘The fourth man was never seen after the boat was upset until a late hour last night, when grap- plers found the body, towed it to shore and anchored to astake, The little boy who was in the boat swam ashore, and was so frightencetl that he ran aboard a little steamer and hid himself in the hold. ONE MAN IDENTIFIED. Men at Peekskill say that the man who died on the dock was fed with rum and lager after he was laid down and was rolled about the dock. His name, from articles found on him, is believed to have been John Matthews, and it is thought that he resided at No, 431 West Thirty- seventh street, New York. He wore alight felt hat, had a tin type of himself and another man in his pocket, and there were also found on him a gold collar button, pair of plain gold sleeve buttons, a silver watch and a ‘large signet ring. ‘he body that was fuond by the grapplers has not yet been identified. ACTION OF THE CORONER. Dr. Govan, of Knight’s Corners, is the acting Coroner and has taken charge of the remains, and it ig supposed that the examination of witnesses will reveal the names and residences of the deceased. It isa singular fact that the officers. of, the Long Branch allowed their boat to proceed on her way after knowing that the men were drowned. A BOAT CAPSIZED. After she had proceeded some distance and when off the south end of the island another small boat put out from the shore, rowed by a small boy, as in the other case, The boy’s passengers consisted of four men and one woman, all belated excursionists, who wished to get on board, 'The steamer slowed and the boy pulled up to the guard of the west barge, The passengers, still greatly excited by previous occurrences, rushed to one side and the barge careened till her guards were sub- merged and the apse igh set up fearful screams, and in the excitement the boy’s small boat was capsized and all of his passengers precipitated in the river. The cries of ‘‘man overboard” penetrated everywhere, and the 2,000 excursionists on the steamer and the two barges became frantic with excitement and ran about wildly, the boats careening and rocking as the great mass of human beings swayed to and fo. The small boat's passengers struggled in the water as best they could, when finally, by dint of great exertions, It is be- lieved all were rescued, though there are men’ to-day on the island who say one of the party was drowned. If that is so it is known only on board the Long Branch. COMING TO NEW YORK BY TRAIN, The two men who were rescued from the first drown- ing accident crossed to Peekskill and took a late train to New York. In conversation at the station they said they did not know the names of the persons who were drowned. Up to noon to-day no person had arrived at the island looking after or claiming the remains of the victims, There is great indignation expressed over the fact that small boys are allowed to handle the rowboats here, and the wonder is that more disasters of a similar nature have not occurred, HORACE BINNEY'S WILL, Pui.aperrata, August 20, 1875, ‘The will of the late Horace Binney bas just been ad- mitted to probate, It is very long, and contains a great number of clauses and bequests.
