A letter to the Zimes, dated Cattaro, Dalmatia, Sep- ‘ember 8, says:— “The importance of the insurrection in Lower Herze- qovina diminishes on near approach, while in Bosnia here is nothiag worth mentioning except a panic and fisorder, with an exodus of women and children. In hat part of Herzegovina lying west of a line drawn from Nikisch to Mostar the insurgents appear only as vands, without coherence, discipline or purpose. They sre even without communication with the eastern por- ion of the province, The Herzegovinian parts of these ands are more inclined to pillaging and petty thieving than fighting. Even the foreign volunteers, who make dho fighting nucleus, suffer from their predatory pro- pensities. They number, in all, apparently, between 1,000 and 2,000, but the majority are generally absent turing the fighting, and only reappear when there is some booty to be taken. Of the bands nominally under jubobvatics not above 300 men mean fighting.’” MONTENEGRO TO REMAIN AT PEACE. Loxpox, Sept. 14, 1875.

Newrort, Sept. 14, 1875. Dr. H. T, Helmbold, of New York, who was recently released from an insane asylum, occupies to- night a cell in the county jail in this city for debt, He arrived here on Wednesday last with his wife, his son and his legal adviser, Clarence Derringer. The whole party put up at the Ocean House, The wife and son re- mained until Saturday, when they took their departure, leaving the Doctor as security for their board. Nothing strango was thought of this, and Derringer remained until yesterday, when he, too, took his departure, in the meantime the Doctor had been living somewhat after the style of ‘‘buchu’’ days, and had patronized very extensively the horses and carriages and other luxuries of the house. He gave Messrs. Weavers & Bates, proprietors of the house, a check on a New York bank’ for ‘part payment of his board, but this came back protested, whereupon he was asked what he was going to do about it, He thought he could easily secure the money, but as the Ocean House brags {led tg) and i hehe of its pang a dull season at this hotel, he'wag handed over to the Deplitp Shen With the ‘expectation "at" severing. the bill sooner. The official took him to jail to await a Peply to the telegrams which had been sent to his friends for the neceggary funds to allow him to leave town. He was conident that a money order would be forthcoming before night and that he could secure bail, but in both of these expectations he was disappointed. While on his way to jail he appeared as nonchalant as though he was on his way to join his family, and, in fact, he rather liked the novel plan which Newport peopio have for collecting their debts. During his brief stay here he has shown unmistakable signs of insanity, and tho general impression is that he will be returned to the asylum. He wanted the local paper here to publish an extensive article about him yesterday, and he was willing to pay liberally for it, and also wanted to buy a large supply of papers. ‘The publishers saw that all was not right, and so refused his offer, Weavers & Bates are confident that they will receive their pay to-morrow. In view of his singular conduct here his recent case against parties for illegally confin- ing him will probably fall to the ground, JEFF DAVIS IN KANSAS CITY.

TRE DEMOCRATS ELECT THIRTEEN SENATORS AND EXHIBIT GAINS IN MANY OF THE COUN- TIES—TWELVE DEMOCRATIC TO SIX REPUBLI- CAN REPRESENTATIVES. Avousta, Sept. 14, 1875. Returns received at the Kennebec Journal office, mostly official, from 264 towns give Connor (republican) 45,035 and Roberts (democrat) 41,541; Connor's ma- Jority, 8,494 The same towns last year gave Dingley 40,907 and Roberts 31,474; Dingley’s majority, 9,423. There are yet 229 towns and plantations to be heard from. The republican majorities by counties are as fol- lows :— Androscoggin . « 589 Penobscot. . 236 Aroostook. + 43° Piscateguis . + 270 Franklin. 519 Sagodahoe. . 380 Hancock Somers 348 Cumberlat Kennel unty, except two small towns, Connor 6,630, Roberts, 4,413, Complete returns have not yet been received from any county, ‘he democrats have elected thirteen, and perhaps fifteen, Senators, In the Fourth Congressional district General Plaisted’s friends claim from 800 to 1,000 majority for ai, and the returns will, doubtless, elect him by these igures, Twenty-three towns in Cumberland county give a democratic vote of 7,267 and republican 6,886, making the democratic majority 381. Three towns to hear from gave 100 democratic majority last year, so that their majority this year will not fall far short of 500, against 800 republican majority last year. The democrats have all four Senators, against one last year. The represen- tatives are, probably, twelve democrats, six republicans and two ties, agginst twelve democrats and eight re- publicans last year. SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT. COLLISION AT NEW HAMBURG, ONT.—THE EN- GINEER KILLED AND OTHERS SERIOUSLY IN- JURED—CATILE ROASTED ALIVE—VERDICT OF THE CORONER, gives Toronto, Ont., Sept. 14, 1875. While a freight train for the Kast was being let into the siding at New Hamburg, Ont., another freight train, from the West, ran into it, The engine driver, Alexander Miller, of Stratford, was killed on the spot. The fireman was scalded and is not expected to recover, and the brakeman had a leg broken. The engine and tender is a complete wreck, and several cars were burned. The main track is damaged and will take some time to get it clear. ‘THE VERDICT rendered by the jury in the Coroner’s {inquest on the body of Alexander Miller was that the deceased came to his death from a railroad collision caused by his own negligence in running past the semaphoro telegraph, which was raised against him. The injured fireman is reported to be very low and not expected to recover. The night telegraph operator, named G, Jack- son, who does the switching also, had a nar- row escape. He was at the switch letting the train into the siding when the other train came along ‘on the side opposite him at the rate of about twenty- five or thirty miles an hour,’ When he heard the first crash he just had time to spring up a small, steep bank. He was slightly injured by scalding water. The cars which contained cattle, hogs and merchandise caught fire from the engine, and out of a car loaa of cattle only one head escaped; the others were all ROASTED ALIVE. Several hogs were killed and burned. The Grand Trunk Railroad fire brigade was summoned from Stratford and were promptly on the spot, and rendered valuable aid in quenching the flames. As no doctors were available in the village the injured men were taken to Stratford for medical attendance. Large gangs of men have been employed all day clearing the main line. No interruption was caused to passenger trains, as one of the sidings was clear tnroug@which the trains were allowed to pass. THE LOST MENDOTA. LIST OF THE LOST AND THE NAMES OF THE SURVIVORS—THE SCHOONER ADDIE PICKS UP SEVEN OF THE PASSENGERS. Curcago, Ili., Sept. 14, 1875, The seven passengers of the steam barge Mendota, who were picked up by the schooner Addie off Manitou, arrived here yesterday. They are:—Captain Fairbanks, F. W. Fairbanks, H. L, Page, Patrick Monahan, W. S, Crane, Amos Ness and George McKinney. One of tho crow states that at one o’clock on Friday morning the waves began breaking over the Mendota, and she parted the line by which she was towing the barge Morning Star. The water kept gaining till five o'clock, when the other barge, the Evening Star, was thrown off. Soon after the boats were lowered, and the captain, his son, the first mate and some of the crew climbed into the larger boat, The smaller one was taken by some of the crew, who almost immediately pulled away. The father and wife of the captain were left. “Tho father was seventy years of age, and tried to reach the boat. When last seen the steward stood with his wife and went down with her. The story is related also by another of the crew, who speaks in terms of raise of the conduct of the captain and officers. The Mendota was as age gh te old and was owned by Will- iam Crossthwaite, of Buffalo. His son perished on the boat. She carried a large cargo of coal, and was valued at $30,000, The cargo was insured, but the vessel was not. . It is feared that the barge Evening Star is also lost. She had six men on board. ‘The names of the lost and saved in the Mendota disas- ter, as given by Chief Engineer Ness, are as follows:— THE LOST. William Crossthwaite, the owner’s son, acting as clerk. F. Fairbanks, the captain’s father, who was on a pleasure =m Eliza Fairbanks, tho captain’s wife.

THE EQUINOX DISASTER, BESCUR OF ONE OF THE CREW—THIRTY-ONE HOURS ADRIFT ON A PIECE OF THE WRECK— THE STORY OF THE CATASTROPHE AS TOLD BY ‘THE SOLE SURVIVOR. Cmcaco, Ill, Sept. 14, 1875. Reuben Burr, who is supposed to be the sole survivor of the wreck of the propeller Equinox, which foundered off Point au Sable, Lake Michigan, on the morning of the 10th inst., reached this city yesterday afternoon by the schooner Haven, Captain Ross, having been picked ‘up by that vessel after floating thirty-one hours on the pilot house of the wrecked steamer. He was picked up eighty miles south-southwest of Manitou Isiand, on Saturday last, BURRS STORY, He stated to a Tribune reporter substantially the fol- lowing fac! The sea was very rough during all the night preceding the catastrophe, and the vessel sprung aleak while ho was at the wheel, At one o'clock, Friday morning, an inspection of the vessel disclosed that the after bulwarks were stove in, Burr and the mate attempted to stop the leak, but their efforts were fruitless, and it was de- cided to lower the boats. At this time the schooner in tow (the Emma E. Mayes) was hailed and asked to come alongside, but either the persons on board did not hear the request or their vessel was unmanageable. At all events, the schoouer did not respond. Signals were made and lights displayed, but without avail, A boat was then lowered from the port side of the propeller, and the mate, the owner, a watchman, five deck hands, an engineer and two firemen got into it, be ey the shij went down almost immediately. Burr swhm for c distance side by side with the captain and they finally reached a spar, but afterward got separated, Subse- quently Burr caught the pilot house and occupied that with the second cook, but the latter, after nearly a day’s drifting, became exhausted, then unconscious and slipped off, Burr was picked up by the Haven in a very exhausted condition on Saturday morning, but he is now feeling quite comfortable, SUPPOSED LOSS OF THE SCHOONER PAMLICO, Curcado, Ill, Sept. 14, 1875, A telegram received here says that William 8. Cross- thwaite, son of the owner of the wrecked vessel Men- dota, was picked up to-day and taken to Oconto. ‘ The schooner Pamlico, on the way froin Queenstown, Ireland, to this port, was on Lake Michigan during the storm, but has hot been heard from, It is sur+ mised that she was lost also. THE SOOY INVESTIGATION. ‘Trexron, N. J., Sopt. 14, 1875, The Sooy Investigating Committee will report dnally to Governor Bedle to-morrow, THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY. Arrival of the Contesting Delegation a the Seat of War. THE GOVERNOR 10 HAVE HIS OWN WAY A Decided Hard Money Platform Té Be Adopted. SENATOR KERNAN ON THE FINANCES, The Prospects of Tammany and Its Ene- mies in the Convention. THE PROBABLE TICKET. Syracuse, Sept. 14, 1875, Judging from present appearances to-morrow will be very busy day with the delegates, who are beginning to arrive in considerable numbers, accompanied, in al- most every instance, by politicians from their various sections of the State, whose counsel and advice may bo found necessary in emergencies, By to-morrow fore- noon all the delegates are expected to be on hand, Among those who will arrive early in the morning are the members of the State Central Committee, Benjamin Van Vrankin, of Schenectady; L. B, Faulkner, of Livingston; Commissioner H. Bristol, of Tioga; E, P. Ross, of Cayuga; Augustus Schell, Senator Francis Kernan, of Utica; State Senators Dayton and Parmenter, Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer, Thomas J. Creamer, R. B. Minturn, Colonel Pelton, the Governor’s Sece retary; R, W. Peckam, of Albany, and D. Magone, Tho evening train, which left New York at ten o’clock this morning, brought the vanguard of the New York contesting delegations, including among the “regulars”? Senator Moore, Tim Campbell, Henry Hughes, John Hayes and Coroner Woltman, Among the anti-Tam- manyites are @udgo Garvin, Gideon S, Tucker, “Jemmy” Hayes, Joseph Sherman, Charles Swan and E. B. Hart. “Jemmy? O’Brien also arrived this oven- ing as an outsider, likewise John Fox and Luke F. Coz- zens, Charley Swan, as Secretary of the Executive Committee of the State Committee, has possession of the tickets of admission for all delegates and boasts that he has got that advantago over the Tammany men, General McQuade came up on the same train, but storped over at Utica, The remainder of the Tammany anc anti-Tammany delegates will be here by the noon rain to-morrow. Governor Tilden will not be at the Convention, but will come as far as Utica to deliver an agricultural address, It is not yet decided whether Horatio Sey- mour will be here, He is not a delegate Senator Kernan is understood to be the man who is to repre- sent tho Governor’s wishes, and, although not a del- egate, he will be the Governor's spokesman and “run”? the Convention in his interest, Mr. Kernan has been to Albany to consult With Governor Tilden and re- turned to Utica to day with the Executive programme for the Conyention, including the platform and candi- dates, The delegates from all quarters express a will- ingness to let Tilden have his own way in everything, and it will only be necessary for some one to make his wishes known to have them carried out without opposition, Kven the enemies of the Goy- ernor—and judging from private expressions of opinion they are legion~in his own party admit that it is useless to attempt to thwart his wishes and are willing that the party should reap the advantage of his reputation, al- though they privately denounce him as a “humbug.”? It is settled beyond question that the platform is to em- body an emphatic, uncompromising hard money plank, Senator Kernan, who has been with the Governor for the last two days, got aboard the train at Albany this afternoon and the HeraLp reporter availed himself of the opportunity to elicit his views on the financial ques- tion, being kindly introduced to the Senator by his old friend and townsman, General McQuade, SENATOR KERNAN ON (MIE PINANCIAL QUESTION, In answer to the question what ground the Conven- tion would take on that question, Mr. Kernan promptly replied, “Specie currency; no ‘paper not convertible into coln; no step backward, The Convention will re- aflirm with emphasis last year’s platform on this sub- ject, which, as you will recollect, reads, ‘Gold and sil- Yer the only legal tender; no currency’ unconvertible with coin; steady steps toward specie payment; no step backward.’ ” General McQuade asked whether he was a “resump- tionist,”” to which Mr. Kernan replied that as to that he would only say that every step taken by the govern- ment should be toward resumption. General McQuapk—Can Congress decide that specie payment shall be resumed on a certain day ? Mr. Kerax—‘They can decide what they please, They may not be able to carry their resolutions into effect, but they can at least see to it that the government takes no action to retard specie payment, Let no pro- vision be made to bring another dollar of paper money out, The government is contracting now and it ought to keep on, Ithink a plan could be matured by which resumption could be gradually reached without too great a shock to the business interests of the country, At all events I am against any further expansion under any circumstances. Let us say that there shall be no further issue of paper money and bring everything to bear to the end that resumption may be reached at the earliest moment practicable, The whole purpose of the government and of every citizen should be toward resumption.” Coming back to 4 THE PLATFORM to be adopted by the Convention, Mr, Kernan said that it must reaflirm the platform of’ last year on this ques- tion and express'the unalterable opinions of the demo- cratic party of this State in favor of hard money, “That,” he said, “was the doctrine of the party in the t and must be in the future. Paper currency might ave been necessary to carry on the war, but the country was now at peace and should return as soon as possible to the gold standard.’” In answer to the inquiry what he thought of the ac- tion of the party in Ohio and Pensylvania, Mr, Kernan said he did not know what to think of it, He could only say that in his judgment it was a mis- take, The policy was probably adopted with the idea that it was expedient just now in those localities. But he believed that before the hokling of the Pres- {dential Convention the democratic party of the whole country would recover from the delusion that now pos- sessed some portions of it and come back to the sound old democratic doctrine of hard money. Heratp Rerorter—What effect do you think the adoption of the hard money platform by this Convention will have on New York's ces to secure the nominee for the next Presidency ? Mr. Kernay—it will strengthen them. In the first place the intluence of a firm expression of the sentiments of the New York democracy will be great upon the arty throughout the country. All that 1s needed is a Fite courage, a little boldness. ‘This rag money delusion will outgrow itself when the question comes to be better understood. You recollect how, in 1868, the Pendleton greenback heresy was rife in Ohio, and how Governor Seymour, ag early as June of that year, and designedly, as1 think, made a bold and outspoken speech against it, What was the result? When the Convention came to meet in July the Ohio delegation were the most en- thusiastic of all in favor of Seymour's nomination, although they did not, to be sure, put him on a plat- form that was quite up to his standard. 1 believe now, continued Mr. Kernan, that if some loading democrat, having the contidence ‘of the people, had last year in Indiana, when that State began to trim on tho | financial question, or this year, in Ohio, come out boldly and’ emphatically against this false doctrine of inflation he might have counteracted the delusion and set the people right on the question, It is hard, 1 know, fora public man to | attempt to stem what appears to be the popular cur- rent, but firmness and kindness toward those who differ from him will generally carry the day, and the gober second thought of the people will put them on | the right track, At all events, there can be only one course for the New York democracy to pursue, and, even if her chances for a Presidential candidate were jeopardized—which I do not think—by adopting a hard money platform, she should still adopt it, for it is right. Being asked if his views were those of’ Seymour and Tilden, Mr. Kernan said he did not wish to be under: stood a8 speaking for them, but he had talked with them on the subject, and he had no doubt their sentiments coincided with his. In this connection ho alluded to the speech made by Governor Seymour in Brooklyn during the campaign last fall, in which he touched in plain terms upon the financial question, and he did not think the Governor’s views had undergone any change since then. ‘Tho foregoing interview with Kernan undoubtedly expressed THE VIEWS OF TILDEN AND SKYMOUR ‘as well as himself and foreshadows the platform on this subject, At the same time there is scarcely any foubt that a majority of the delegates to the Convention are inclined toward inflation and expected the Convention to follow the wake of the party in Ghio and Penneyl- | vania, If left to themselves, uninfueneed by the lead. | ers, they would vote agaist the platform to be adopted; but, as before remarked, they have come here prepared, With scurcely a dissenting voice, to take whatever platform ayud candidates Uncle Sammy sees fit to offer them. ‘Chey do not all agree by any means with Mr. Kernan, in thinking that such a p! form would improve Tulden’s chancos for tho Presi- dency, and many of them who disbelieve in the plat- form are willing to hvave it adopted on that account, ‘THR TAMMANY CONTRSTANTS, Speculation {s rive to-night as to the probable termina- followers. The impression seems to be growing among those delegates ‘who "are already here and who have been directly heard from on the subject, that if the Convention intends to force the rule’ of 1871 in good faith and the Committee on Contested yeas act honestly in dealing. with the ques- jon that the Tammany as well as the anti-Tammany delegates from the Third, Eleventh and Fifteenth As- sembly districts may be declared irregular. If Morris- sey’s, Ledwith’s and Hayes’ delegation can establish the fact that the call for their primaries was made by the old district committees they will gain possibly some sort of recognition. The point, however, is simply a technical one, and in order to keep Tammany in good humor it is’ probable that sufficient irregularities ou the part of the contestants will be shown to counterbal- ance it and keep all her antagonists out in the cold. There ts @ suspicion lurking 1m some of the country- men’s minds that the Governor is somewhat inclined to favor the contestants, and if this should turn out to be true it will have great weight with those delegates who want to be on the winning side, right or wrong, and who now have no opinion one way or the other about what ought to be done. A hint from the Governor's wirepullers here to-morrow will settle all their doubts, and until they learn definitely what he desires they will remain on the fence, OTHER CONTRSTING DELEGATIONS. Besides the contestants trom the twenty-one districts in New York thero are two sets of delegates from Al- bany, Oswego and Westchester counties, so the Com- mittee on Contested Seats will have their hands full. The Albany delegation, headed by the Meegan party, and the contestants, backed by Dan Manning, are very bitter in their warfare, and the former claim that if the Tammany delegations are admitted they cannot be re- fused admission, The Meegan party were victorious last year, and this will no doubt give them a claim upon the Convention which cannot be overlooked. Doubtless all the contesting delegations will work like beavers between this and the meeting of the Convention to have the men of their choice placed upon the Committee on Credentials, The latest information to-night con- cerning THR PROBABLE TICKET, as Governor Tilden would like to have it, places John Bigelow at its head as Secretary of State, Charles E. Fairchild as Attorney General, Luci Robinson as Comptroller, E. K. Apgar as State Treasurer, Horatio Seymour, Jr, as State Engineer, Zenas Pratt as State Prison Inspector, and D. 0: Salmon as Canal Commissioner. It is understood that negotiations were being carried on by the Governor and his friends, even before the Saratoga Convention met, to induce Mr. Bigelow to take the place, and that it was a knowledge of this fact which prompted Mr. Weed and other leading republi- cans to capture him for their ticket, It is currently reported to-night that Mr. Bigelow will consent to take the democratic nomination, now that it i# finally settled that the Convention will adopt a hard money platform. In case ho should decline the Governor's friends say that his second choice for the first place on the ticket is Frederick A. Conkling, brother of Roscoe, Word |. was received this evening that HORATIO SEYMOUR, JR., DECLINES to run as State Engineer, and as yet no person has been mentioned as likely to be a strong candidate. The friends of Wheeler H. Bristolare working hard to secure the nomination, It seems also that Mr. Apgar will have to stand aside, as it is said to-night that if he allows his name to be used in the Convention in connection with the State Treasurership a letter will be read that will force htm to withdraw. In case of his being out of the race the chances are that either Robert H. Waterman, of Albany, or ©. N, Ross, of Auburn, will be uominated. There seems to be a strong feeling in favor of Ross, as the country democrats believe his nomination will go a great way toward helping the defeat of William B. ‘oodin, Who is again running in the Cayuga district for Senator. | Robert Earll, of Herkimer, is to be appointed Judge of the Court of Appeals in the place of Judge Grover, de- ceased, and this fact has left the road clear for Lucius Rob- inson, although the friends of George W. Schuyler still talk about pressing him as a candidate for Comptroller. ‘Zonas Pratt comes from the same county ag Mr. Earl, and so his nomination has been made certain by Mr. Earll not being a candidate, Professor Morris, of Cor- nell University, and D, M. Green, the present Deputy Engineer, are now talked of as candidates for State Engi- neer, ARRIVAL OF MORRISSEY. John Morrissey and Judge Garvin, of the delegation from the Eleventh district, arrived to-night. The former seems confident that his delegates will be ad- mitted if he gets fair play. The Saratoga Convention have decided to stand by him. A delegation of five ap- pointed by the working men in New York city, are to arrive to-morrow and ask to be heard before the Con- vention on the labor question and the action of Tam- many Hall in reducing the laborers’ wages, PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS. A REVIEW OF THE STATE TROOPS MADE THE OCCASION OF POLITICAL SPEECH-MAKING— THE CURRENCY POLICY OF THE DEMOCRACY ATTACKED, 4 Porrsvuzue, Pa, Sept. 14, 1876, Governor Hartranft, accompanied by the Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, inspected and reviewed the troops of the Fourth division of the National Guard to- day. The division includes companies from Harrisburg, Lebanon, Lykens, York, Wrightsville, Jumata, Mifflin, Jonestown, Mt, Pleasant, Middletown, Icksburg, Ashland, St, Clair, Mt, Carmel, Girardsville, Shamokin, Mine Hill Gap and Potts- ville, The occasion attracted thousands of peoplo from various parts of the State, The inspection was very rigid, as the Adjutant Genoral is working hard to bring the militia up to a good standing by the Centen- nial year, He says the division had made a marked advance since last year, and he has great hopes that by next year they may be able to show favorably with any troops. This afternoon Governor Hartran{t was sere- naded at the Pennsylvania Hall by thousands of the citizens of Pottsvilie. The demonstration was intended as a set-off to the recent Pershing serenade. The Gov- ernor was cheered and cheered again. In response he only alluded to the work of the day, and ex- pressed his satisfaction at the splendid appearance of the troops. The Hon. Lin Bartholomew spoke in his behalf, and made an attack on the Erie platform, es- pecially the financial plank. This, he charged, was the work of F. W. Hughes, who was in sympathy with the rebels during the war, He struck at the nation’s honor then, and he has again struck atit. The terrible evils of inilation were graphically dwelt upon by the speaker, Mr, Bartholomew then attacked Judge Pershing’s record, and brought to light the fact that he voted in the Legislature to censure Abraham Lincoln for issu- ing the emancipation proclamation. After the serenade the Governor left on a special train for Mauch Chunk, In conversation with Governor Hartranft to-day the Hxraxp correspondent learned that he is perfectly easy as to the issue of the campaign. THE NORTH CAROLINA CONVENTION. AN OATH PROPOSED FOR LEGISLATORS—DEBATE Raxeran, Sept. 14, 1875. The Oonvention met at ten o'clock, President Ransom in the chair, The Committee on the Judiclary reported favorably on the reduction of Supreme Court Judges from five to three, Mr. Morehead, chairman of the Committee on Education, reported, recommending the alteration of section 3, article 9, so as to provide four months’ annual schooling for children of the State, those of the two races to be kept separate, ‘At twenty-flve minutes past ten tho introduction of new ordinances and resolutions was in order and another furious shower of them began. The main propositions were:—Prohibiting contraction of debts by counties, cities, &e. ; filling certain official vacancies by gubernas torial appointment; reducing the State Senate from fifty to twenty-five members; providing against calling future constitutional conventions unless by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature and the expressed consent of the people; arranging State Senators in two classes, each | class to hold four Maid and @ half, to be chosen bien- nially; prescribing that no bill shall originate in either Legislative house within five days of the final adjourn- ment; fixing salaries of State oflicers, &c, Mr. Kerr, of Mecklenburg, republican, introduced an ordinance providing @n oath for members of the General ‘Assembly, making them swear, among other things, that they have not obtained an election through bribery or fraud. Numerous discussions occurred on points of order and other frivolous matters. Hon. Richard C, Badger, re- publican, spoke at length, favoring a suspension of the s and Elections to inquire whether del- possess the same qualifications with the General Assembly, and, if , to ascertain how many delegates do not possess such qualifications. It was a high question and should be considered without reference to results on parties or to party politica The credentials of every suspected delegate should pe at once examined, A long debate ensued, Turner, Badger and Manning participating. The yeas and nays were called, the resolution adopted and the republicans scored one, ‘The remainder of the session was consumed in a discus- sion upon General Clingman's ordinance fixing the com- pensation of members of the General Assembly. ‘Amendments were proposed and amendments, upon amendments.

MB. COX NOMINATED IN THE sours. (From the Atlanta Herald.) Yesterday Hon. Eli 8, Shorter, of Eufwula, Ala,, for several years a member of Congress from his district, and a brother of ex-Governor John Gill Shorter, arrived in the city and took rooms at the Kimball House, Mr Shorter ts a politician of the old school, and a gentle man well versed in the political history of the country, and is also well acquainted with all the leading poli- ticians of the country. In the course of a conversation in presence of the re~ porter, Mr. Shorter stated that the democrats of Ohio would all go for Allen for Governor, regardless of the question of inition or contraction of the currency, and elect him by a large majority, Upon being asked’ who he thought would be the next Speaker of the House of Representatives in Cot he said the contest was narrowed down to Cox and Kerr; that the politicians were afraid wo support Randall because of his vote for the- salary grab and his high protective tariff sentiments; that ‘he thought it the best policy for the South to go for Mr. Cox. as Mr. Kerr resided in Indiana, and his elec- tion to the Speakership might possibly damage Governor Hendricks’ chances for the Presidency. Mr. Shorter was very sanguine of our success next year, particularly if a good Western man was chosen to~ head the ticket, THE MISSISSIPPI TROUBLES. ALL QUIET IN THE “DISTURBED DISTRICTS’’—~ NO OCCASION FOR TROOPS, Wasuixatox, D, C., Sept. 14 1875, The government 1s still awaiting further officiah despatches from Mississippi. Late this afternoon twa despatches were received by the Attorney General from Mississippi, one from ex-Senator Pease and tho other from Lieutenant Guthrie, commanding the United States military in the recently reported disturbed dis- tricts, Both of these gentlgmen report everything perfectly quiet. There is no disturbance, and they regard the sending of United States troops there as entirely un- nageeseey and state that it would be exceedingly im- politic. THE EXCITEMENT SUBSIDING IN TALLAHATCHIE, Mempmis, Sept. 14, 1875. The latest advices from Tallahatchie county, Missie sippi, represent the excitement as subsiding, and the general belief is that there will be no further trouble, Reports are in circulation here to the effect that trouble is brewing in other counties of northern Mississippl, but they can be traced to no reliable source. EX-SENATOR PEASE TELEGRAPHS TO ATTORNEY GENERAL. x Vicksnvna, Sept, 14, 1875. Ex-Senator Pease to-day telegraphed to Attorney General Pierrepoht that he has the assurance of the peace officers of Warren county that they are amply competent to prevent any further violence in tha county, He says there has been a material change im public sentiment, and the good citizens are ready te assist the law officers in preserving the peace. With the present indications any interference by the generak government would be highly impolitia. Lieutenant J. B, Guthrie, commanding the post, also. telegraphed Attorney General Pierrepont to-day as fol- lows:—"I have tho assurance of the peace officers of Warren county that their power to maintain the peace is adequate, The majority of the citizens are willing ta aid the Shoriff whenever he calls {or their services, am he (tho Sheriff) assures me he will summon their-aid any further disturbances take place.”” THe THE INDIAN FRAUDS.

AN UNGROUNDED FEELING OF DISTRUST—THB SYNDICATE PROGRESSING AND MATTERS. GEN+ ERALLY ASSUMING A HEALTHY TONE, San Franctsco, Sept. 14,1876. For a day or two there have been some expressions of anxiety as to the progress of the bank syndicate, occa sioned, to a considerable extent, by the previous re- ports,that the Bank of California would reopen about « the 15th inst., while as yetno signs of immediate re- sumption are evident. A rumor has also prevailed that - Michael Reeso had backed down from his subscription. to the syndicate guarantee and that matters were not im as prosperous @ condition as reported a week or two ago. In an interview with a director of the bank this morning it was stated by him that no ground existed ., for any such feeling of distrust; that so far as the withdrawal of Mr. Reese was concerned he had not as yet become a-subscriber, and the affairs of the syndicate . were going on independently of him; that at present - the guarantee fund subscribed amounts to a little over $7,000,000; that as to the time of the reopening of the - bank nothing definite could be not stated, but that it would probably occur about the Ist proximo; that.at_ present matters were progressing prosperously . but, slowly. “Lucky” Baldwin, who was yesterday elected _ adirector in the place of Mr. Ralston, comes on aa.® subscriber to the guarantee fund to a large amount.
