Arpaxy, N. Y., June 22, —Imme- diatsly after the adjournment of the investigating committee this morning, the half-breeds held a caucus in which they agreed upon a program that upon the meeting of the joint convention and before the balloting began Sena- tor Lynde should arise to a questionof Erinleuc, and announce a proposition y the half-breeds for a compromise; that they would vote solely for one half-breed anc one stalwart, the half- breed to bo Depew and the stalwart any one but Conkling or Platt, but that they would not vote for either of those if the dead-lock was maintained until December 31st. In order to prove the sincerity. Ex-vice president Wheeler was with- drawn and a half breed commissioner was sent around to consult with half breed members, instructing them Conkling or Platt. Wheeler's repre- sentative agreed to compromise after communication with telegraphic Wheeler, and Lapham was selected as the agent and then instucted by Rob- ertson to notifiy all half breeds of the intonded programme, This says that the proposition meets with not desire to control the senatorial election, but are willing to compro- mise in the interests of the party. THE JOINT CONVENTION, joint conference resumed at noon. The hlaf breeds de- cided to postpone the Lapham pro- test their strength.

Total 118, A hot discussion ensued pending the call of the second ballot, and great con- sternaticn was created because of the announcement by Senator Fowler, democrat, that it_had been decided best to withdraw John C. Jacobs, the democratic candidate, because of the question raised as to the eligibility. of Jacobs on account of holding ~ office under the state government, namely, that of state senator and that if he should get a majority of the ballots the republi- cans would probably attempt to cheat him out of his election because of technical points. Therefore it hal been decided by the democrats to change their votes to Clarkson N, Potter. The announcement created great excitement. Among the democrats an extraordi- naryscene ensued, various members changing their votes to other candi- dates. prominent among whom were J. N. O'Kelly, Abram 8. Hewitt, Juo. T. Hoffnan, . Cox and others, Soveral members objected that the; would not change until authorized by a formal caucus that Jacobs’ nomination wassuspicious. A row ensued between Sharpe and Hus- ted as to the position of Gov. Cornell, Sharpe insisting that the Governor had not intimated in any degree his desires regarding the senatorial con- test. Husted said it was false. The ballot resulted: Conkling 32, Wheeler 50, Lapham 16, Cornell 2, Jacobs 12 and scattering 1. The votes for the demoeratic candi- dates were from 1 to4 each, except Potter who had 7. The democratic candidates included John T. Hoffman, Samuel J. Tilden, Horatio Seymour, Erastus Corning, ete. The total vote was 155, DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS, In the session of the democratic caucus this afternoon an explanation wus demanded of Jacobs why he with- drew from the candidacy.

The information came to_him sudden- 1y, and he had not decided to act un- til he saw Wheeler's votes growing ab- normally larger. He had no time for consultation with the party leaders and acted as he thought was for the best interest of the Senmcm( ic party. Spinola and others urged Jacobs to resume his candidacy, stating that the democratic party in the senate would stand by him in any contest. Erastus Brooks made a long speech in opposition, saying the state consti- tution distinctly prohibited the can- didaey of a member of the legislature and hoped that Jacobs would refuse to further embarrass the democratic party. Brooks' speech caused a stam- pede in the caucus and votes for can- didates were scattering, Gen. W. 8. Hancock was nominated. Objection wasmade to Hancock because he was a federal officer and was disqualified. Roll call was ordered and Jacobs withdrew his name. CONKLING HIES TO UTICA, ALnANy, June 22, - Bangs arrived 10:10, Conkling suddenly left this afternoon. He went in.the direction of Utica, so hurridly that he took the way train. One of his friends told the agent of the Nationul Assoclated Press, that he went to meet a friend and to seek needed relaxation. A speech printed in” The Herald this morning, purporting to have been delivered at the caucus lust night, was a pure invention of the agent National Associated Press. No such specch was delivered, nor was any speeches. The talk was quite informal. Think- ing perhaps Conkling had prepared a speech, which he intended to deliver, and failing to do that, gave it to The Herald reporter for publication, The agent, of the Associated press, asked Conkling before he left town whether such was the fact. Conkling said: T neither delivered a speech, nor pre- pared one, nor authorized anything in the form of a speech to be delivered. There was no occasion to neither pre- pare any formal statement nor to make any. The agent of the National Associated Press, pursued his investi- gation further, and found the follow- ing facts: After tho caucus The Herald reporter saw Conkling, and asked him what he had talked about at the caucus. Conkling replied, ‘‘Oh, about nothing in icular. I refer- red to the corruption which has been alleged; made some reterence to the present bribery investigation.” Said the reporter, ‘I can’t believe but what you must have said somethin, else, Senator.” ““Nothing else,” sai Conkling, ‘‘good night.” The repor- ter bade good him night, and com- posed a speech and telegraphed it as one actually de-livered. HALF-BREES CAUCUS, The half-breeds held a caucus to- night. It was resolved to carry out, to-morrow, if circumstances warrant, the Lapham programme, dictated in these dispatches earlier. Jacobs’ Withdrawn. National Associated Press, ALBANY, June 22.—The democrats have withdrawn Jacobs, and great ex- citoment provails. Clarkson N. Pot- ter, the democratic “candidate, takes his place. L THE WIND AND RAIN Makes Sad Havoc in Nebraska. —Churches, Houses, Barns and Mills Destroyed. St. Pavr, Neb,, June 21st. To the Editor of Tus Bxs. It is an old saying, ‘‘that it never rains but pours,” which is literally true, for the last two days, or at least last night. On Sunday night Groely county, in the vicinity of O'Connor, was visited by a terrible wind storm. The Catholic church barn was blown down in O’Connor, and several houses in the vicinity, was more or less dam- aged. The fury of the gale was such that a sod house was unroofed and the sods scattered about like chaff. On Monday night St Paul and the North Loup country was visited [|by aternfic wind and rain storm. The rain fell in torrents for about four hours, and part of the time accompanied with a heavy wind. It is reported that several houscs were blown down, but no particulars have been learned. Only a few weeks ago all the mill- dams wero either washed away or seriously damaged, and the Davis Creck Mills owned bs Mr. McIntiro, was ontirely swept away.

New York, June 22,—A Batavia special says: The town is filled with great excitement over the discovery of what is believed to be the remains of William Morgan, the man who was alleged to have betrayed the sccrets of the Free Masons in his book entitled ““Morgan's Ilustrations of Masonry,” fifty-five years ago, and who was said to have been abducted and made away with before the work was given to the public. The bones were found in the town of Pembroke, 11 miles west of Ba. tavia covered with thick layers of rock and dirt. A silver ring with monogram ‘“W. M.” was found with the remains, also a small tin box which dropped to picces on being handled. A manuscript was in it bearing the words: “‘Masons,” ‘‘Liar,” ‘‘Prison,” “Kill,” and the full name ‘‘Henry Brown.” At the time of Morgans dis- appearance Henry Brown was a law- yer in Batavia and a prominent Mason, He also wrote a book a few years after Morgan’s abduction showing how that, although Morgan was abducted there was 1o proof he was murdered. If it shall now appear that the body found is accompanied ay a threatening letter signed by Brown, the inference will be irresistable that the remains are those of William Morgan, and that Henry Brown the great defender of the Masons of Batavia, was one of the murderers. This discovery bids fair to explode other theories regard- ing the fate of Morgan, Lo An Unnatural Mother, National Associated Press.

T THE BARCE LINES. Bpeeches of Hon, W. P. Hep- burn, of Iowa, and Sena- tor VanWyck, of Neb. {Continued trom Bixth Page). HENATOR VAN WYCK'S SPEECH, Senator Van Wyck,of Nebraska, said he always was glad to hear other peo- ple’s notions, but at the same time he had his own. This question of the river navigation was growing more serious every year. In the infancy of the country there was no connection except by the water of this stream, and no railroad found its way to it- To-day it has 8o increased in popula, tion and in resources that our present railroads are insufliciont, and ten yoars from now not only will our population be doubled, but the productions then will be double what they are now. Some other means must then be adopted for carrying these in- creased productions to market. We shall want to double the number of xailronds. Fortunately in a conven- tion like this questions may be dis- cussed without fear of imputations being cast on those who meet here on a common platform where there are no party designations, no taunts, no question of capital and labor thrown in, no man taunted with being a granger or having hay seed in his hair, [Loud laughter. ] This is a question of interest to all the country, to the United States and to other countries who look to us for bread. And when we talk of the ex- penditure it is really but a trifle, a mere bagatelle, whether it takes one million; or five millions, or ten mil- lious to produce this great result. To see that themoney that is appropriated is honestly and judiciously expended that is, all this the government has to do. Look back for a moment and see what has been done in the way of rail- ways during the last ten years. We f o NO. 3. cannot realize the immense struc- tures built at an_enormous expense, the enormity of the wealth sunk in railways running east of Chicago. This question of transportation is important now, but it will be more important in the future when it takes two bushels to get the third bushel of grain to market. Now, it won't do for the government to haggle over this matter. This government has a vost pile of money, and it is spending it all over this nation on rivers that are less dangerous than ours. Here wo have a kind of wator that is sapping at the industry and wealth of the na- tion. Now if we can gather this water in as this nation is prepared to do to concentrate its power and to prevent further risings we benefit every industry, The people of the Missouri valley should unite, havingcommon interests. Your railroad is strong, but it can wield its power through half a dozen men over millions of this country. But this other great cause has been powerless through want of concentra- tion. The opinion they have of us at Washington is that we are very well a8 hewers and drawers of water but no good as politicians. Look at the rates to-day from Chi- cago.LIn summer 15 cents a hundred, and ents and 40 cents in winter, This is only for want of water trans portation, 1t is a navigableZ ri ver and it is not a matter of a few millions of dollars when it effeets our commerce with Europe. By the river we would have a more rapid and _cheaper way to the markets of the old world. There is no necessity to discuss the of statistics.

Tave been struggling and_looking for Those who ward as Mosos did to the promised land. It is now time that the nation took a littlo of what properly belongs to it to developo these rivers and the na- tion will get a hundred fold retnrn for the few millions of dollars and the whole country be benefited. COL. HEPBURN'S SPEECH Col. Hepburn, of Tows, then ad- dressed the meeting and said: Mn. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN:— Suffering as we do from want of trans- portation, how is it possible for us to got our produce to market? T am not disposed to cavil at the means we have; I don't fight for fighting sake; I recognize the railway's obligations, and 1 think the present prosperity of this state is largely due to their advent; when a number of years we wero waiting for their coming. 1 remember how we watched and prayed that the act might pass. But whilo so bencficial we must be master of them, They must be under onr control, Corporations, while oc- cupying valuablo positions, seem to think it neccssary to act in rebellion to the people. They must be con: trolled, 1 believe that there are difficulties in the way of getting this appropri- ation. Under five months ago I heard a distinguished gentleman state it as his opimion his doubts as to the constitn- tionality of aiding enterprises such as the one engaging the attention of this assembly. He mentioned some- thing about it being necessary to get ten millions to secure two millions for legitimate purposcs and that large appropriations had been asked for the improvement of rivers whose nanies did not appear on the map. Some times it was for the improvement of push navigation. That is to say the navigator simply pushed the beat along. In_conclusion Cu“, Hepburn said that he was sure they woufd be suc- ceasful it they only persevered and he would on all occasions give his most earnest, cordial and hearly co-opera- tion, —————— The Medical Law. To the Editor of the Les: The bill passed by the last legisla- ture for regulating the practice of medicine was highly commended by the fraternity whose business it affect- ed. In most counties it has been cheerfully complied with, und we have yot to hear of a single instance in which its enforcement has been open- ly declared against. Inan adjoining county, however, an alleged | hysician who 18 unable to register regularly under this law is continuing his prac- tico as student of a physician living in another town' eighteen miles distant, whom he does not even see once a fortnight, The law was evidently in- tended to protect the unfortunate public from being mado victuns to the ill-ndvised and _inexperienced experi mentists in medicine, and also to pro tect the professional fraternity. The student of medicine who also practices is supposed to be guided in all that he does by his superior, but if that superior be not seen oftener than once in a fortnight, very little, if any, good can be obtained from his counsels, The public will in- terpret such a course as an at- tempt to evado the law, and it i only right that the physician who thus lends himself to anof her for the evasion of the law, in- tended as a protection to his profes- mon, should be discountenanced by his fellow practitioners, and his in- fidelity made public to the world, Omana, June 21, 1881, Troy, (N.
