Pistols at tlie Opera.
New Orleans papers give an account of
an encounter between two young men of
that city on Tuesday night last, at the
door of the Opera House. The parties
were Francois Ranee, a son of Dr. Ranee,
and Edgar Bouligny, a son of the late
Dominique Bouligny, Esq. The Picayune
says that ill-feeling has existed between
young Bouligny and two of the younger
brothers of liance, and that a rencontre
took place between him and one of the
brothers during the afternoon, in which
Ranee was considerably worsted. The
news of this rencontre was conveyed to
Francois liance. After the conclusion of
the vaudeville of ‘HJu Tigre de Bengale,”
the opening piece of the night’s
performance, liance, who was standing
at the bottom of the stairs, approached
young Bouligny just as the latter reached
the lower lauding. liance said to
Bouligny, “Your name, I believe, is
Edgar Bouligny.” Upon the latter re
plying that it was, the former struck him
in the face. Instantly young Bouligny
drew his revolver and fired, the ball strik
ing young liance in the abdomen. After
firing this one shot, young Bouligny
turned and went back up the steps and
into the Opera House. As he went up,
however, making his way through the
descending crowd, young liance drew*
his revolver and fired three shots at him.
which, by nothing short of a miracle,
as it were, failed to touch any
one. Young liance was arrested
and taken to the Second Precinct Station,
where it was discovered that the ball
from Bouligny’s pistol had taken effect in
his abdomen. Bonds having been signed
for his appearanca to answer, he was
sent home to his father’s residence. After
young Bouligny went back into the Opera
House, and learned that his shot had
taken effect, he surrendered himself to
Judge Staes, and was turned over to
Capt. Lawler, who allowed him to remain
long enough to accompany home some of
the members of his family who were at
the Opera House under his charge. His
friends were very active in endeavoring
to obtain a certificate from young liance’s
attending physician that the wound was
not serious in its character, so that Bou-
ligny might bo admitted to bail. Neither
of the young gentlemen is yet of age.

A Crucial Test.
Mr. Bowen has been*Beverely criticised
for making charges agianst Mr. Beecher
and refusing to give the names of the
parties upon whose statements those
charges were based. He has submitted
to the inevitable consequences of that
refusal, rather than violate the confidence
reposed iu him. There are some who
honor him for this reticence and fidelity:
there are others who believe, or profess
to believe, that tbe information he claims
to possess is nothing but the base coinage
of Mrs. Grundy’s mint. Recognizing
this division of opinion, Mr. Bowen re
solved upon a proposal calculated to set
tle all doubts. Accordingly, at the meet
ing of the Plymouth Church Examiuating
Committee last evening, he made the fol
lowing offer:
“I propose that three men within the
congregational body be selected, dis
tinguished for their wisdom and im
partiality, such, for example, asFresident
Woolsey, President Asa D. Smith, Presi
dent Fairchild, Judge Lafayette S. Foster,
Hon. Alpheus Hardy, or Hon. Julius H.
Seelye, men in whose decision the world
will feel confidence, who shall be pledged
to keep all such evidence sacred, before
whom only Mr. Beecher and myself shall
appear with our witnesses, and before
whom I will consent, without any re
serve whatever, and as soon as they can
meet, to give in full the evidence which
has led me to say that I have no doubt
that Mr. Beecher is guilty of adultery,
perjury and hypocrisy.”
This proposition was admirably con
ceived to subserve the ends of justice,
aud to protect the rights of innocent
third parties. Its acceptance would have
resulted iu Mr. Bowen’s laying the whole
body of the evidence before referees,
whose confusions the world would have
accepted as final. It was directly re
sponsive to the call of the committee for
all the facts. It showed that Mr. Bowen
was willing and anxious to follow up his
allegations by the proofs. The commit
tee ignominously rejected it, and
slammed the door in the face of the very
inquiry they pretended to invite. By this
act they are self-accused of professing
one thing and meaning another. No
intelligent and unbiassed mind can fail
correctly to interpret this refusal. It
means what the controlling powers of
Plymouth Church have meant from the
first, that the offences of Henry Ward
Beecher should never be exposed with
their consent and co-operation. They
have shrunk from every opportunity to
establish the truth. They have publicly
professed a desire to sift the scandal, and
secretly plotted to defeat irf?estigation.
They have acted as if they knew the
pastor were guiltv, and they have
schemed to prevent the world from par
ticipating in their knowledge. Nothing
could be more striking than the con
trast between the policy which the
rulers of Plymouth Church have
pursued in this matter, and such
a policy as would everywhere char
acterize the course of the men who
were honestly seeking the truth. Mr.
Bowen has made mistakes which he
frankly confesses, but he has made no
mistake this time. He has tested the
coin of his challengers' brave professions
with an infallible acid, and found it coun
terfeit. He has applied a touchstone
which discovers in their boasted sincerity
nothing but trickery, evasion and deceit.
If Henry Ward Beecher, a minister of
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, can afford to
be judged by the irresistible logic of
these facts, so be it. But no obstreper
ous denunciations of Henry C. Bowen
can lessen by one jot or tittle the damn
ing weight of that judgment.—Brooklyn

Commissioner Pratt thinks tbat limiting

Tho Star says tho Appropriations Commit

and consolidates sixty collection districts.
In the House, the bill extending the time

The Committee on Foreign Affairs re

The Judiciary Committee reported ad

The bill selling timber lands iu California
was discussed, pending which Edmunds
said he was about to inquire w^liat b came
of the regular order yesterday—the case ot
Pinchback? The chair replied it was not
called up yesterday, and had be n succeeded
by other business. Edmunds then moved
to postpone the pending bill relating to tbe
sale of timber land, and take np the reso
lution for the admission of Pinchback. He
agreed with the Senator from Indiana (Mor
ton) that the question was one of high
privilege, and already had been too long
delayed.
Morton said he did not press the resolu
tion for the admission of Pinchback yester
day for seveal reasons, one of which was
that several Senators were absent, and he
desired there should bo a full Senate when
tho vote was taken. If the Senator from
Vermont (Edmunds) desired to have the
resolution taken up for the purpose of mak
ing a speech, he (Morton) would not ob
ject.
Edmunds said he had never moved to
take up anything for the purpose of making
a speech. He desired to get the case to a
dual determination. The little he had to
say would not occupy thirty minutes, and it
was probable he would not speak at all.
Morton said that if the Senator (Edmunds)
did not desire to speak, he hoped the resolu
tion would not bo taken up. There was one
Senator sick, and he desired to be here.
Edmunds said that when the case of
Pinchback was left out, on Monday, the
Seuaior from Indiana Morton) was in the
midst of some observations. As he seemed
to be indispose !, he (Edmunds) m<»ved for
an executive session. Yesterday the* mat
ter got displaced iu some, way during his
absence. It the Senate was to wait till the
full number of Senators were present before
taking a vote iu the case of Pinchback
it would never be settled. If any Senator
was ill who desired to vote ou the side
of Pinchback, he (Edmunds) would pair
with him with pleasure, as he did not intend
to vote ou that side. He believed the Sen
ate was as lull as it would ever be iu the or
dinary course of events. He did not know
how the case would be determined, and he
did not care how it would be, except in the
interest of law, the constitution aud the
facts.
The question being on taking up tbe reso
lution, a division was called for and result
ed—yeas 24, nays 2r.
Logan, of Illinois, demanded the yeas

THE CARLIST REVOLUTION.

formation received hero the following seems
to be the position in Northern, Spain : Gen.
Quesada advanced on Sunday morning upon
Durang, through Elaria, unresisted, but
found tbe Carlists under General Carassa
strongly entrenched at Elgueta. The Al-
fonsists attacked at 11 o'clock in the fore
noon, and after five hours’ hard fighting on
the lines extending over a league, the
Carlist positions were carried. The
Carlists retreated upon Ozpeytia,
with heavy losses. General Quesada pur
sued them as far as Vergara, which he oc
cupied iu force. Simultaneously with the
operations of Quesada, Gen. Loma moved
from Marquera, breaking the Carlist’s lines
on the river Deva. General Marioues, ad
vancing from the north entered Zum&y and
occupied the heights commanding Aya and
Cestona. The Carlist6 are reported to be
concentrating for a final struggle between
Andoain, Tolosa and Ozpeytia.

Bills.
[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.]
Atlanta, February 15, 1$7G.
Speaker Hardeman has to day written
a long reply to the strictures of the Au
gusta Chronicle and Sentinel, and in his
letter he declines to reassemble the State
Democratic Executive Committee unless
the members request him to do so. His
action is endorsed here.
Colonel Warren this morning presented
a 4 ‘petition” from James Atkins, J. E.
Bryant, A. N. Wilson, aud fifty-eight
other Radicals of Chatham county
which they set forth their grievances and
ask for relief from certain election laws
and provisions which they do not like.
The “petition” was referred to the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections.
The House has adopted a resolution to
hold night sessions, and there now seems
to be a disposition on the part of the
members to expedite, the transaction of
the business stMl in an unfinished state.
With three daily sessions and no draw
backs, after the wholesome rebukes which
Speaker Hardeman administered yester
day, I now think the House will be able
to adjourn by the last of this or the first
of next week.

LIBERTY AND GLYNN COUNTIES.
Liberty county is represented in the
Robbery by Telegraph.
The methods of bank burglars and of
swindlers generally have revealed them
selves in all sorts of ways of late, but it
would be difficult to conceive of a more
ingenious scheme for raising money than
that lately resorted to by a couple of tele
graph operators in Texas. Imj^diately
over one of the banks in Dallas is tbe
telegraph office, and recently two of the
operators left town. On the day fol
lowing, a well dressed man entered the
bank with a check for $10,000 on a New
York banking house, and desired it cash
ed. He brought with him numerous let
ters of recommendation from parties with
whom the bank had business transactions,
and everything was all right, apparently.
But ten thousand dollars was a consider
able sum to pay out, and the bank officer
h3sitated, and finally declined to cash the
check. But the stranger was importu
nate. ‘‘Gentlemen,” said he, “I came to
Texas to invest this money in cotton. It
is very necessary that this check should
be cashed. Suppose you telegraph to
New York to this banking house ! Ask
them about me; I will pay all
expenses.” Nothing could be more
plausible than this; so a dispatch
was sent, and in a short time came the
answer to the effect that it was all right,
and the Dallas bank would confer a great
favor on the New York firm by accom
modating their friend. This was satis
factory and the check was cashed. It is
the practice of telegraph operators to go
over their day’s work at night briefly by
asking the different points to which dis
patches have been sent whethei they have
been received or not. On inquiring of
the New York operator whether dis
patches thirteen and fourteen had been
received a negative answer was returned.
No such dispatches had come* to hand,
and consequently no answer could have
been sent. The dispatches had been ■
regularly received; they had come from
somewhere, but where from could not be
known. Tbe cotton speculator had dis
appeared with the funds, and the bank
officials were at their wits’ ends. In a
day or two the mystery was solved. The
two telegraph operators had gone a few
miles out of Dallas, taken possession of
an old shanty by the roadside, attached
a battery to the wires, and taken the
dispatcheaaiutended for New York off.
They had tnen sent answers. It was an
adroit scheme and successfully carried
out.

The Philadelphia Press has addressed a
circular to all the hotel proprietors of
that city, and, we should judge from the
list of replies, all the chop house and
lager beer saloon keepers, to know if they
intend to increase their prices next sum
mer. The replies enable the Press to
assure the public that the “rates for
board and lodging” will not “materially”
advance. It would be more comforting
if the precise Philadelphian idea of “ma
terially” could- be given. Also, if this
qualified promise of no material advance
in the rate for board and lodging would
be accompanied by the assurance that ex
travagant prices would not be charged for
everything to eat and drink under the
name of extras. The Press is pretty

BROOKS COUNTY BILLS.

the ablest and readiest debaters in the
House, Hon. Henry G. Turner, who sel
dom speaks without adding something to
his already established reputation as a
clear-headed legislator. He is Chairman
of the Committe on Privileges and Elec
tions and a member of the Judiciary

A Blue Blooded Deceiver.—Count
Theodore Von Friedman, a young Hun
garian nobleman, is now imprisoned in
the Tombs on the double charge of bas
tardy and breach of promise. This gen
tleman, who is the son of the Baron Von
Friedman, of Pesth, Hungary, was sent
by his father in 1874 to study the Eng
lisb language and customs of this coun
try, but, being amply provided with
means, he plunged into dissipation and
soon exhausted his resources. Shortly
after his arrival he met Miss Wilhelmina
Brown, and, under promise of marriage,
seduced her. She applied to the Com
missioners of Charities for an order of
arrest, but as the Count left her with
the remark that he was off by that day’s
steamer for Germany the case was appa
rently ended in this country. After the
birth of her child, five months ago, find
ing herself penniless and dependent on
friends, she resolved to go to Pesth and
see the Baron. Just as she had made
preparations for the voyage Von Fried
man turned up in New York and she had
him arrested, but as be refused to support
the child, on the ground that he has no
means, he is still detained. Yesterday
her counsel, Dr. John G. Boyd, applied
to Judge Daly, in Common Pleas, for an
alias order of arrest, which was granted
and placed in the hands of the Sheriff.
Should the Count be released from the
Tombs on any pretence, he will be at
once rearrested on a $10,000 suit for
breach of promise and taken to the Lud
low street jail. His father allowed him
$100 a month, but finding that he led a
dissipated life stopped his allowance, and
he was so reduced as to be obliged to sell
pretzels for a living.—New York Herald.
The London papers describe the recent
terrible accident on the Great Northern
Railway as second to none of recent
disasters in the elements of horror by
which it was surrounded. A coal traiD,
eighteen minutes behind time, was over
taken hy the Scotch express en route for
London, which dashed at full speed into
the coal train. So violent was tbe shock
that the express engine leaped into the
air and fell upon the embankment on the
down side, dragging with it the tender,
while the three or four next carriages
were crushed almost into matchwood.
While the groans and cries of the
wounded and the shrieks of women and
children filled the air, the express train
from London came up at full speed and
dashed into the debris. It cut through
the tender of the express, which was
lying across the rails directly in its path,
and its own engine and tender left the
track. But the carriages, twelve in num
ber, swerved away to the right hand,
and ran, one after the other, into and
upon the wreck of tbe other train, adding
further ruin to the already terrible disas
ter. For a wonder only twelve people
were killed and upwards of twenty very
seriously injured, imong the killed was
Dion William Boucicault, aged twenty-
one years, eldest son of Dion Boucicault.
it ^s not, the supply determines
the price, scarcity greatly increasing the
value. Now Pniiadelphia, as every trav
eler knows, has four or five good hotels,
capable of accommodating an aggregate
of perhaps two thousand persons. To
these four or five the Press adds at least
forty “hotels,” of which nobody outside
of Philadelphia ever before heard, such
as the Bald Eagle, Red LioD, and Black
Bear; and why the Blue Monkey was not
included is inexplicable. With all these
representatives of variously colored car
nivora, the entire hotel accommodation
of Philadelphia is considerably less than
ten thousand. But the Press assures us
that “one or two new hotels are now
building.” How far will they go toward
meeting the expected extraordinary de
mand ? The fact is, that including the
entire menagerie of Bald Eagles, Black
Bears, Red Lions and Blue Monkeys,
Philadelphia is utterly inadequate to the
accommodation of the one-hundredth
part of the guests expected, or of one-
teuth part of those who will actually
arrive.—New York Sun.
There was recently an aggravated case
of “crooked whisky” in Magherafelt,
county Londonderry, Ireland. The
irregularity in this case was fusel oil. A
certain Gulladuff publican refused to pay
for a cask of whisky which he bought
from a distiller and took to the Down
patrick race course at a late meeting. The
distiller brought suit for the price of the
liquor. The plea of the publican in court
was tbat it was not good whisky, and his
proof was an incident that happened at
the races: A boy. after drinking a glass
and a half of it, leaped into the air, threw
himself on the ground, tried to knock
his brains out, aud attempted to gnaw
the flesh off his arms. It immediately
set all the men who drank it to fighting,
and nearly broke up the races. The pub
lican was afraid to set it out to his
customers any more, and decided that it
was not good whisky. The borough an
alyst for Belfast said that too much fusel
oil was the matter with it. The publican
won the suit, and the distillery sinners
had to bear tbe loss and the disgrace of
making whisky that Irishmen could not
stand.
A Clerical Seducer Marries and Set
tles Down.—Rev. John S. Glendeuning,
made notorious by his trial for the seduc
tion of Miss Mary Pomery, and his sub
sequent expulsimi from his pulpit in
Jersey City by tffe Presbytery to which
be belonged, was married to a young lady
in tbat city, the daughter of a prominent
member of the church from whose pulpit
he was driven by the Presbytery. Having
cast discredit on the ministry, he has
abandoned it and will pursue the study
of the law. This is bad for the legal pro
fession, though a good thing for the cause
of Christianity. While it may be possi
ble that Mr. Glendeuning is innocent of
the terrible crime imputed to him, his
conduct precedent and subsequent to bis
censure by the Presbytery and bis expul
sion from his pulpit, was by no means
that of a man of honor, much less that of
a minister of the Gospel, and his aban
donment of the sacred calling he has
disgraced cannot but redound to the
benefit of the cause of Christ.—Harris
burg Telegraph.
An Affidavit.—An Americanized citi
zen in New Orleans was called on as a
witness in a case before one of the Jus
tices lately, and when the oath was ad
ministered he raised both hands and said:
“I shall spoke noddins what ain’t drew,
if ever I hope to die so quick as a min
ute!”
How He Weighed His Wife.—The
Lewiston (Maine) Journal has discov
ered the method and thus reveals it :
“She is a woman weighing, it was sup
posed, about 250 pounds, but her hus
band could not induce her to be weighed.
So the other day he was driving out with
his wife and drove up to Mr. Dorman’s
store in Auburn. The wife did not no
tice that the team stood on Mr. Dorman's
hay scales. While he was talking with a
gentleman at the door, his whole team
was being weighed. He then drove over
to Lisbon street and left bis wife to do
some shopping. Then he drove back to
Mr. Dorman’s hay scales and the team
was weighed—minus the wife. It was
but a simple sum in subtraction to dis
cover the weight of the woman. On get
ting home the joke leaked out, but his
neighbors declare that Caleb will never
see another day of judgment in which he
will be more sorry for his sins than he
did the hour when his wife learned that
she weighed two hundred and forty odd
pounds. ’
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Evening Post says: “Letters re
ceived here from Ohio represent that the
friends of George H. Pendleton are busi
ly engaged in organizing to further that
gentleman’s candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for President, and that they
feel confident of being able to defeat the
nomination of Mr. Hendricks. Forty-five
Democratic members of the Ohio Leges
ture have declared their intention to sup
port Pendleton,
on him—if one may be so sacrilegious as
to write shameful connection with so
much beauty and grace. She filled the
bay window with freshly potted weeds
which she had laboriously gathered from
the sidewalk and in the hollow under the
bridge, and when he came round that
evening she led the conversation to flow
ers and her admirer to the bay window.
“Such lovely plants she had,” she told
him, and he j ust clasped his hands and
looked around him in silly ecstacy, try
ing to think of their names.
“That is Patagonia injiuensis, Mr. Bo- children,
gundus,” she said, pointing to the mis
erable cheat of a young ragweed; “did
you ever see anything so delicate ?"
“Oh !” he ejaculated, regarding it rev
erentially, “beautiful, beautiful, beauti
ful; what delicately serrated leaves!"
“And,” she went on, with a face as
angelic as though she were only saying
“Now I lay me down to sleep,” “it breaks
out in the summer in such curious green
blossoms clinging to long, slender stems.
Only think of that, green blossoms!”
Aud she gazed pensively on tbe young
man as though she saw something green
that probably never would blossom.
“Wonderful, wonderful indeed,” he
said, “one can never tire of botany. It
continually opens to us new worlds of
wonders with every awakening flower and
unfolded leaf.”
* “And here,” she said,” indicating with
her snowy fing6r a villainous sprout of
that little burr the boys call “beg
gars’ lice,” “this Mendicantis parasitatis,
what ”
“Oh,” he exclaimed rapturously,
“where did you get it ? Why, do jou
know how rare it is ? I* have not seen
one in Burlington since Mrs. O’Gheminie
went to Chicago. She had such beauti
ful species of them; such a charming
variety. She used to wear them in her
hair so often.”
“No doubt,” the angel said dryly; and
the young man feared he had done wrong
in praising Mrs. O’Gheminie’s plants so
highly. But the dear one went on, and
pointing to a young jimson weed said :
“This is my pet, this Jimsonata filio-
fensis.”
The young man gasped with the pleas
ure of a true lover of flowers, as he bent
over it in admiration and exhaled its
nauseous odor. Then he rose up and
said:
“This plant has some medicinal proper
ties. ”
“Ah!” she said.
“Yes,” he replied stiffly, “it has. I
have smelt that plant in my boyhood’s
days. Wilted on the kitchen stove, then
bruised and applied to the eruption, the
leaves are excellent remedial agents for
the poison of the ivy.” He strode past
the smiling company that gathered in the
parlor, and said sternly, “We meet no
more !” and seizing her father’s best bat
from tbe. rack, he extinguished himself
m it and went banging along the line of
tree boxes which lined his darkened way.
Truth Stranger than Fictiun.
[From the Chicago Tribune.]
A remarkable occurrence, recalling in
some of its features the stories recounted
in the Arabian Nights, took place last
week on Wood street. A humble cottage
on that street is tenanted by a young
couple who last year made their bridal
tour to California, Oregon and Washing
ton Territory. While engaged in salmon
fishing on one of the rivers, tbe bride
groom was so unfortunate as to drop into
its current a valuable diamond ring be
longing to his wife.. The loss of the gc:™
was, of course, mourned, but after a while
the incident was forgotten, nor was it
recalled till last Thursday evening, when
the young husband, returning late at
night from taking stock, discovered
that his wife had prepared for supper a
can of salmon. Taking it up, he looked
carelessly at the label, and said: “Why,
Marion, this salmon was put up at the
very place where I lost your ring last
summer. Wouldn’t it be odd if a salmon
had swallowed it, and been caught and
canned at that very factory and put into
this very can, and we should find the ring
in it?” His wife answered him jestingly
but be said : “I don’t kuow how to ac
count for it. but I have a sort of presenti
ment tbat I shall find that ring yet
some such romantic manner.” She had
scarcely said, “Don’t be a goose, Gus,
when her eye caught the glitter of some
thing metallic in tne can, and she fairly
screamed, “Goodness, gracious me.
what’s that ?” Her husband, who was
scarcely less excited than herself, removed
the foreign substance with a fork, when,
what was his surprise to discover that it
was indeed a big lump of solder, which in
soldering the can had been permitted to
fall into its contents.

An amusing extract from a large book
entitled “New England’s Prospect,” by
William Wood, London, 1639, in tbe
Philadelphia library, gives the following
in regard to “Lyons and Beares
“concerning Lyons, I will not say that
I ever saw any my selfe, but some affirme
that they have seene a Lyon at Cape
Anne, which is not above six leagues
from Boston : some likewise being lost
in the woods, have heard such terrible
roarings as have made them much agast:
which must be either Devills or Lyons:
there being no other creatures which use
to roare saving Beares, which have not
such a terrible kinde of roaring : besides
Plimouth men have traded for Lyons
skinnes in former times. But sure it is
that there be Lyons on that Continart for
the Virginians saw and old Lyon in their
plantation, who having lost his jackall,
which was wont to hunt his prey, was
brought so poore that he could go*no
further: For Beares they be commoD,
being a great black kind of Beare, which < *
be most fierce in strawberry time, at
which time they have young ones, at this
time likewise they will go upright like a
man, and clime trees, & swim to ihe
islands: which if the Indians see, there
will be more sportlull Bear bayting than
Paris Garden can afford ”
Mormon Courtship.—On Saturday a
Mormon by the name of Fulmer, who had
been chosen among the faithful to go on
a mission to Arizona, called upon Brigham
Young.
“Married ?” queried the Prophet.
“Not any,” said Fulmer, o’er whose
brow forty odd years had left their im
print.
•Must marry, Brother Fulmer, before
you go to Arizona to build up the King
dom.”
“Don’t know anybody who will have
me,” was the reply.
•I’ll find some one. Do you know
Brother Brown in the Seventeenth Ward?
Well, he has several daughters; you go to
Brother Brown’s and tell him I want you
to marry one of his daughters.”
Fulmer left aud obeyed counsel to the
letter. Knocking at the door, he was ad
mitted by Brother Brown, who, upon
learning what was wanted, called in his
several daughters to be selected from.
Fulmer taking his choice, Brown told the
girl to get ready in fifteen minutes.
’’ll do as you say, dad,” was her meek
reply, as she walked out.
“That’s the way I raise my daughters;
if they disobey, there’s war m the camp.”
The wedding festivities took place that
night.—Salt Lake Tribune.
A Philadelphia letter to the New York
Tribune says : “Among the active Dem
ocratic politicians in this State the feel
ing in favor of Governor Hendricks for
Piesident is very strong. Probably nine-
tenths of tbe men who, from their promi
nence in the party, are most likely to be
selected as delegates to the National Con
vention are open supporters of his candi
dacy. They insist that Mr. Hendricks is
the best reprefcntative of the average
opinion of the Democracy of the c< **' c try
on alF public questions, and that^A v a
good compromise candidate for^jia^
