Special Dispatch to the Sim.
Rome, Ga., Aug. 7.—Tho Convention
this morning continued tho discussion of
home-made fertilizers and heard a speech
from Judgo Schley on commercial ferti
lizers. This was the ablest speech yot
made in the Convention.
Tho Convention viaited tho Cherokee
Fair Grounds to-day, and were hospita
bly entertained by tho Fair Association.
Tho following officers woro cleotod
during tho afternoon session :
President—Gen. Alfred II. Colquitt
Vice Presidents —Judgo Wm. Schley,
Judge D. A. Vason, P. E. Redding, L.
F. Livingston, Hon. Sam. Barnett, R. D.
Moore and Oapt. C. W. Howard.
Executive Commutke —Col. H. D.
Capers, J. K. Barnum, Isham Fannin, J.
L. Lawton, T. J. Smith, R. D. Wyuu and
Gen. Wm. Phillips.
Col. Pope Barrow, of Oglethorpe,
made a practical speech on stopping
washes.
Tho Convention is entirely harmonious
so far, but it is oxpoctod that on to-mor
row tho discussion will be opened on tho
question of tho Agricultural College, and
spiritual discussion is anticipated. The
Alumni of tho State University.^wnnt it
connected with that institution. A com
mittee from Milledgeville is here after it,
and Hon. W. P.|Prico wants to havo it at
Bablonega. I think a majority of tho dele
gates want it to be a District Institution,
loeated at tho point that is most easy of
access, and to be peculiarly for tho edu
cation of farmers' boys.
Later. — Gon. Gordon made a great
educational speech to-night. lie con
demned a majority of the books sent us
from tho North aa sectional and unfit for
Southern people, and cn jhissunt stated
that there were books published by South
erners that could bo recommended. In
ooncJnsion lie referred to lieu. Hill and
his recent speech at Athens, in terms
not commendatory of it. The .speech
was a magnificent effort.
Inspector Matthows, one of which ac
cuses tho latter of having forged the sig
nature of the former to the certificate of
the steamship North America. This,
upon examination, proved to l>e tin
foil mlcd.
Berryman also exhibits a list of six or
eight 3tearners, which, at various timoe,
had been refused certificates by him, but
afterward received them from Matthews.
Ho assorts that tho latter was actuated by
interested motives.* Incidentally, his
statement tends to show that great de
moralization exists in tho iuspeotivc ser
vice.
Inspector Matthews, re-examined, ad
mitted that when inspectors have a groat
deal of work they authorize their clerks
to make out certificates and sign the in
spector’s name. Tho inspectors do not
get inside of boilers to inspect them.
Four more victims of the Westfield
disaster are expected to die hourly, and
ono more is dead.
The Coroner's inquest commenced to
day.
The first witness, Julius Ravmond,
testified that his father was killed by the
explosion. He said he was standing near
the engine watching its motion when tho
oxplosion took place. He was certain
that no one bat him was in tho engine
room for abont ten minutes before the
oxplosion. He observed the steam gusge
just before the boiler exploded, but did
not notioe tho figures it presented. In
answer to a question by a juror, the wit
ness reiterated tho statement that no one
besides himself was in the euginft room
for ten miuutes before the explosion.

Tho Republican State Convention was

New Orleans, Angust 9.—There will
bodoablo delegations from all tho parish-
es iu the StAto with the exception of eight
or ten, which are represented by dele
gates friendly to Warmouth. Iu two or
throe wards of the city, where Warmouth
delegates are elected, there ore no cre
dentials, and in all other wards there are
doable delegations. Warmouth's friends
claim a majority in the wbolo delegation,
aud say they will go into tho Convention
without tickets from the Stato Commit
tee and leave tho question to be decided
by a properly constituted oommittoo on
credentials. The oommittee meets at 12
m. , to-morrow, in tho United States Court
room iu the Custom House Building.
At an early hour this morning large
crowds of whites and blaoks assembled in
front of tho Custom House, where the
Republican Convention was convened.
At about 9 o’clock two companies of tho
Nineteenth United States Infantry, with
two Gatlin guns, under tho command of
Capt. Smith, arrived. The troops mareh-
od in and stacked their arms in the hall
at the head of tho steps at the Canal
street entrance. Largo numbers of Uni
ted States Marshals closely guarded every
entrance to the Custom House, and no
ono was permitted to enter without tick
ets from Marshal Packard. At half post
10 Governor Warmouth, aocomnanied by
Geu. Campbell, Senator Pinchback and
about eighty followers, somo with and
some without tickets, entored tho build
ing and attempted to pass through the
hall, but was stopped by a deputy mar
shal who informed them that no one was
permitted to pass until the hour for the
opening of the Convention. Warmouth
expressed indignation and mounted a
chair and said: “Having been refused
admittance to tho hall designated by tho
Central Oommittoo, I proposo that we
now adjourn to Turners Hall and hold a
Convention there.” ffla speech wss re
ceived with cheers and a few hisses.—
Warmouth descended, proceeded to and
entered his carriage. Tho crowd took
out tho ho rses from the carriage and
dragged it triumphantly through the
streets to Turner's Hall.
At 12 o’clock the Convention wss colled
to order. Mr. Masters, of Carroll Pais
ish, was elected temporary Chairman.—
Warmoth, Pinchback, Campbell and
Judge Dibbell denounced tho interfer
ence of tho U. 8. officers. Dibbell char
acterized the Custom House Convention
as a body of administration favorites,
guarded by bayouets and lawless tyranny.
Pinchback said : “ Is it possible that we
are to bo put down by the Government
we havo sustained ? If so, tho sooner
this government Is torn down, and a
monarchy built on the rains, tho better.
Pormauent organization was made, with
Pinchback ns President, and adjourned.
At half-past 7 this evening, it met again
at Tamer's Hall.
Opackard called tho Custom House

NEW ORLEANS CORRES
PONDENCE.
Democrats Waking Up.
Prospects Before Them.
New Orleans, Aug. 3,1871.
The only social drones we have
among us at present are the politi
cians,, i- u» tho Radicals, who make
money out of politic* and live on
plunder. New Orleans has no use
for this class of men, and, after a
year or two, will get rid of them.—
We must always have government,
and government officials, but we do
not intend that government, tho aim
of which should be to benefit, and
not oppress tho jiooplc, shall bo ad
ministered much longer by this class
of gentry, or that our public odices
shall be filled by mere spoilsmen, who
seek to enrich themselves ut tlio pub
lic expeusc, and are actuated by no
higher motive. The Democracy in
New Orleans, and not only in New
Orleans, but throughout the State,
are wide awuke on this svhject, and at
tho next State and Federal elections,
will make demonstrations,you may de
pend upon it,which will surprise their
enemies. We have bocorne disgusted
with tiie usurpation, misrule, igno
rance and rascality of carpet-buggers
of all sorts, white, colored and mixed.
They are liecoming, ovory day, more
aud more odious and intolerable—a
perfect stench'in the nostrils of those
who oovet a pure atmosphere.
The split tliut exists here among
the Radicals, is imparting fresh cour
age to all true patriots. The disfran
chisement of our best citizens Ij^’the
villainy of the reeonstrucUuuia(te aad
tlie soldi said amendments of the
Constitution, occasioned a nearly uni-
versal apathy among those who used
to interest themselves in public af
fairs, and whose opinions and «xam-
awple were influential. They were
no longer voters—scarcely citizens.
Sambo, Yankee, and the desperato un
principled .Sou thuruer, who rose in the
political scale together after the war,
have since then undertaken to govern
this city and the State of (jotnsiana,
and a pretty piece of work they have
made of it.
Warmouth was elected notoriously
by negroes, scalawags and carpet-bag
gers. 11c is a tall man, makes i
graceful bow aud 1ms a flippant litter
mice. Sambo was delighted when “the
Guvnor” approached him—os he did
immediately and for some time after
the election—with a species of rever
ence, and consulted him us ono of his
constituents about the public inter
ests. Now, lout celt cst changce. Jfr.
Warmouth, what with his opportuni
ties for State plunder, of which he has
had wit enough to avail himself, has,
iu an almost incredibly short period,
became a very rich mau—some say a
millionaire. lie desires, ut this time,
to drop the negro and hereafter, if
possible,associate with gentlemen—an
object he will not readily accomplish,
but which he has greatly at heart. It
is rumored that lie proposes to sell
liimstlf to the Democratic party fur
a United States Sonatorship. That
lie cun carry along with him a siiinll
wing of the Democratic !>arty, who
are in favor of “ the new departure”
policy—men more unprincipled than
the scalawags themselves—there can
lie little doubt.
At the head of tho opposition is
Oscar 0. Dunn, tho Lieutenant Gov
ernor of the State, a very resjieotahle
negro, who stands up manfully for the
rights of the colored citizens.—the
real representative of soalawagism or
Uudicuiisni in this community—uided
by Collector Casey, (tenoral Urunt’s
brother-in-law, who is now at the
Tsorlli in close consultation with his
Excellency, the President, about Now
Orleans and Louisiana affairs, anil the
best uioilo of circumventing War
mouth aud stilling his ambitious pro
jects. There will be a sturdy light
lietivoen these parties, and their con
flicts will redound greatly to the ad
vantage of the real Democracy, who,
in times like the present, are quite
justifiable iu taking for their motto
“ Divide kt imimuia.”

TROUBLE ON THE S. S.
RAILROAD.
A Row ut White IllufT— A l*nrty
of Negro Excursionists Take
Possession of flic Cars aud De
tach them from the Train at
Sand-Fly.
No little cxcitemont was created in
the city last night about 9 o'clock by
the rumor which was currently cir
culated to tho effect that a party of
negroes coming up from a pio-mc at
White Bluff, on tnc Savannah, Sea
board & Skidaway Railroad, hod cut
loose two of the cars of tho train.—
Inquiry as to the correct state of the
ease led to the following information
A party of negroes, consisting of
several hundred, left tho city yester
day morning about half-past eight on
the Savanuan, Seaboard and Skida
way Railroad, to have a pic-nic at
White Bluff. Nothing of couse
qucncc occurred to disturb tho pefteo
of the occasion until about four
o'clock in the afternoon. While the
party was getting ready to return to
tho city gome confusion took place.
Quite a numlier of the negroes went
into the barroom, where much noise
and loud talking was soon heard.
Iu the course of this confusion a pis
tol shot was heard, and upon exami
nation it was found that ono of the
disturbers of tho peace, a negro named
James Adams, was shot through tho
left shoulder. He stated that the
shooting was done by a white man.
Another negro said that one Alfred
Shellman, n negro, hud instigated the
white man. In this way a difficulty
was soon inaugurated, which increas
ed and continued to increase until
the whole crowd got on the train and
started for Savannah.
Even here the difficulty did not
end, but, iuatead, it continued on (he
increase, the negroes becoming more
excited, and tne influence of the
friends of each party widening until
nearly every negro on tlio train was
more or less interested in tjie affair.
They commenced fighting while the
train was making headway for the
city.
Just before reaching Sand-Fly Sta
tion some one drew out the eoujdiug-
nin and disconnected two of the cars
from the train. This was not dis
covered, as there were six or seven
cars, until the train arrived ut Sand
Fly Station. The conductor backed
to the disconnected cars and look
them up again.
Arriving at Sand-Fly Station the
second time, he left tlio excursionists
there aud backed his train down to
Isle of Ilojic, in order to bring up the
regular passengers. On arriving ut
the junction again he took on his
train of turbulent excursionists and
set-out for Savannah. After running
•while tlio noise and exhilarating
breeze probably stirred up the dar
keys again. They renewed their
quarreling and fighting. Some one
again severed the train, cutting off
one car, which the conductor left
stauding on the track in the woods,
about four miles from the city.
As soon as the train arrived in the
city, information was convoyed to
Cot. Howard, the Superintendent,
who called upon Sheriff llarlheluiess,
who promptly called upon the city
authorities for a posse of thirty men,
which was furnished, and at alxmt
about 11 o'clock the regular train
was dispatched to White Bluff and
other points. When tlireo miles and
a half from the city, the negroes who
hud been cut off were mot yakking
the car to the city, having lights in
advance, in order to stop nny ap
proaching train and prevent damage.
The uegroea in this car were sober
and orderly, and claim that the
drunken and unruly portion of the
crowd were in the cars which previ
ously reached the city.
There was considerable excitement
when tho train arrived afew minutes
to 1 o'clock this morning, quite u
number being iu wailing at Ander
son street. No arrests were mode.—
