CurtU' General Resolution Approv ing Hayes Voted Down. J. E. Church is Nominated for Secretary of State. the TREMAINE EXHAUSTS HU SPUUH OVER THE SUCCESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE SOLID BOUTH. OONKLINO’S TRIUMPH OVER CURTIS. Rochester, September 27. — Curtis’ amendment was defeated by 109 to 290 and the platform was adopted viva voce. Their speeches were very bitter. It was a great triumph for Conkling. The Convention continues to-day. Washington, September 27. — Groat interest is attached to the Rochester Con vention. AU the Mew York papers have elaborate editorials on the subjeot. The firebrand was that part of Hayes' policy divorcing the oivil from political servioe.

Rochester, September 27.—The Con vention bad greatly thinned this morning. J. C. Oburohill, of Oswego, was nomi nated for Secretary of State. Tremaine's speech. The work of the Convention being com pleted, Lyman Tremaine was oalled for, and addressed the body in relation to the magnitude and importance of the coming canvas. The Democratic party boastful ly deolareB that, having now control of a solid South, they propose and expeot to oapture Now York and a few other North ern States, and thus get oontrol of the National Administration for another twenty-five years. Let them get legisla tive control of this State and the Repub lican party will have little hope of rescu ing it from their hands again in ten years. Are the loyal mon of this State ready to hand the Govorment into the possession of the men who so lately sought to de stroy it? The Speaker proceeded at some length to review the political condition in the Southern States, and the alleged outrages upon Republicans there, and asked how loyal men liked the idea of being subjoot- ed again to the dictation of a solid South. MR. WARD, of Allegany, interposing, asked who made the Bolid South? MR. TREMAINE replied: Don’t revive the issues that were laid at rest yesterday? Let us turn to the future and unite our efforts to sward off the disasters that tbroaten the country through a revival of disloyal Democratic rule by the aid, of the solid South. New York is the key to the situ ation. Hold this fort and all is safe. Hold this fort and the plans of the enemy will fall to the ground. He proceeded to argue that the Repub licans coufd have carried the State at that last election in the preseuce of great dis advantages. We can save the Legislature this year, stimulated by the fact that we have a U. S. Senator at stake. We oan do better still. He did not sympathize with but earnestly soonted the idea that beoanse of yesterday's debate we would lose the State. When he was in the Democratic party he always found that when there was eleotrioity in the air, brewing a storm, they were strongest; and so it would be here now. He dosed with an appeal for unanimity and earnest work. ADJOURNED. At five minuteB past eleven the conven tion adjourned sine die. VELMIW FEVER. OONDITITION AT F1RNANDINA.

Harrisonburg, Va., Sept. 25.—Ander son Shifflett, who, with Silas Morris, was condemned to bo hang for the murder of David G. Lawson, way executed iu the jail yard bore to-day. Morris was re spited to October 23d. Shifflett made a dying statement, asserting his innocence of actual murder, but acknowledged that ho knew Lawson was to bo killed. While the sheriff was adjusting tho rope about Shifflett’s neck, ho wept bitterly, saying: “Gentlemen, I never did anything to anybody to be hung for. Indeed, I did not kill Mr. Lawson. As suro as you are born you are hanging an innocent man.” As tho rope holding the trap door was cut, tho doomed man fell downward to the gronnd. The rope whh broken. Shifflett ottered a groan and was again lifted on tho scaffold. Here ho renewed his crios and lamentations, exclaiming : “God knows I am innocent.” A second and stronger rope was pro cured. While it was being adjusted, bo asked Deputy Sheriff Bowman to raise the black cap from his eyes, so that he might look upon tho light once more. The re piost was granted, and turning towards the spectators he said, with some firm ness : “Gentlemen, I bid you all good bye.” The rope was cut, but Shifflett’s neck was not broken by the fall, and he died by strangulation. Present to Gov. Wade Hampton.— While iu Chioago Governor Hampton was presented by some Irish goutloinnn of that city, among whom was tho Hon. John W.

Above tho harp is the inscription : “Deeori decun add it avito,” which trans lated reads : “He afids honor to anoostral honors.” Below the harp is (mother in scription : “An Irish twig for tho Home Rule Governor of South Carolina.” Gov. Hampton very naturally prizes this hand some gift from a people who have over shown tho warmest appreciation for true nobility and unvarying gallantry. LOOK OUT ! My friends will find me at W. L.

I am just up from the City of Mexico, and, as I promised you a letter from here I must resume specie payments. There are plenty of things to write about, but one don’t know what to give the prefer ence. Everything is on a magnificent scale, from tho spiders that spin webs to the frontiersman who spins yarns; and, speaking of yarns, I guess I had bettor tell you a little story that has just been related to me. It will givo you n faint idea of what kind of story -tellers, or In dian fighters, I am not certain which, they raise ont hero. “There comes ‘Mountain Joe’ on his pony,” said my friend, Col. Flounce Filz Hoy, to-day, as we were soated iu the shade of a spreading mulberry, in tho Grand Pinza. Tho person referred to whs a handsome lookiug young mau of perhapH thirty-five, something abovo the medium height, of graceful carriage, and agile appearance. lie was armed with a half-carbine, half-navy revolver, that hung in a belt by bis left side, and was clad in a buckskin suit. “ ‘Mountain Joo,’ as you call him, Col. onel, seems to bo rather u fine specimen of the frontiersman, but 1 don’t see anything remarkable about his pony, to which you particularly refer.” “Thereby bungs a tale, which l will uu- fold if you feel like listening to it.” “Go on—tell it by all moans." 4 ‘Mountain Joe,’ as he is called, was born somewhere iu tho Eastern States, and, infatuated with tho Iudian Htorios he had read, ran away from his parents and came to the Southwest. Buthe has bad sumo hard kuooks since, aud the hardest were received iu earning that pony, or rather $5 worth of it. Yon sec, a few years ago old Senor Komuldo, whose rancho lies out along the Pinto- road, owned that pony and one of the loveliest daughters iu all those parts. He was immensely wealthy and owned several valuable mines, and there was no telling how much gold and silver bullion he had stored away. “Now all the young fellows around hero were crazy after tho girl Inez, but Joe set his hoart ou tho pony, and wanted to buy it. lie is a fellow who always lias liis own way, and it is a blessed good thing that hiH head is ulwuys right, other wise somebody would got into trouble But wheu Joo tried to buy the pony everybody thought he was balked for once. “The Senor asked $05 for it, and Joe dug around to raise the money, lie raised it, all except $5, and wanted Ro- mnldo to trust him for tho rest of it till he would conic back from a hunting expe dition. This tho old Spanish curmud geon refused to do, and Joe appealed to his friends to loan him the other V. Failing, bo got mad and sworn that he would not live iu such n community. One day he left and was not hoard from for nearly a year. “lu the meantime a band of Kiokupno Indians swooped down upon ltomuldo’s rancho, during his absence iu town, ran off his stock aud carried the pretty Inez away iu to tho mountain fastnesses. Sev eral parties went out in search of the cap tive, only to be ambushed and whipped. Then it waH that Souor Komuldo bogan to bewail tho absence of ‘Mouutaiu Joe,’ for everybody had faith that he could have rescued tho lovely Inez from tho dreadful fate in store for her. “Finally, just as tho unhappy Spaniard giving up in despair, Joo suddenly put iu au appearance. ‘If you will re cover my child,’ said Komuldo, ‘I will givo you a million dollars. You may have half my properly, and whatever else you may ask.’ ‘I am not piulicular about the reward,’ said Joo, ‘but I’ll try and rescue that girl.’ “And then sot about making prepara tions for the undertaking. Several gal* hint young fellows volunteered to go with him, but lie declined their services, lie oiled up that overgrown revolver of his, stowed away about 500 cartridges and about ton pounds of jerlcod meat iu his clothes, and taking the trail of the Kicks poos, set out in the early morning, lie followed it all day cautiously, and by night was far up iu tho mountains. The next day, noar noon, as he reached the brow of an immeuso precipice, tho red skins opened upon him in the rear. “Ho was completely trapped. All means of retreat were cut off', aud there was death both before and behind him. But Joo made up his mind to die game. Dodging behind a rook, he opened with his shooting iron and mado it lively for the amhushers. Every shot told, und soon a dozen dead Indians wore stretched out ou the mouutaiu top. But their com rades were undaunted, nnd nearly a hun dred of them mado a dash to seize him. He had already killed twenty six of them, but he hhw that he must soon be over powered. “Flight was impossible, ami preferring to kill himself rather than be tortured by the Indians, he rushed to tho precipice fully two thousand feet high und leaped bodily into space. But during his fearful descent he did not lose his presence of mind. Ho whs going down noar tho face of the rocks nnd observed that stunted pines and hemlocks grew out of tho frequent crevices, lie begun grasping in the tops of them, which first bent and then broke, but lie found that he was breaking the force of his fall For the last three hundred feet the bushes wore thick, and Joo was soon going down dropping from one to tho other in perfect security. “At last ho reached tho bottom, suff er ing from a few bruises and sevorul rathe serious wounds received in tho contest with the Indians overhead. Just was congratulating himself upon bis won derful osenpe another pack of rod devi. broke from the chapral and opened tin Another hand-to-hand contest took plat and Joe killed nino of his enemies. Ilo then started to run along the base of tho cliff, when on a sudden the earth gave way under him and ho fell into a deep fissure. The Indians wore immediately upon him, and fired two or throe volleys down tho holo and then covered it up, with imuieuse boulders. “Joo had fallen some 20 feet, and real iziug the danger from allots from above, got under the shelving of the rock aud thus avoiding tho hulls. The Indians, supposing him dead, mado no further investigations. Realizing his desperate situation Joe set about extricat ing himself, and found that he was in a vast cave with a large number of ramifi cations. In the midst of pitchy darkness he began his exploration,which continued for four or five days, but whioh seemed to him ns many years. “The jerked meat on his person satis fied tho cravings of his appetite, and he • found plenty of pure water to drink. At last ho gave up, and lay down to die. Listening intently he heard what seemed like human voices, aud this once more gavo biui heart. Crawling in the direc tion from which the sounds came, heat length reached a point from which he was able to look into a vast rotunda, fitted up iu barbaric splendor, and lighted with pine knots and sputtering lamps, and there, reclining on a couch of bear skins, ho behold Inez Komuldo talking with an old Indian squaw,who apparently was her jailer. “At length the old bag withdrew in nn opposite direction, aud Joe speedily made his presence known to the fair captive. A hurried consultation followed and the whole situaliou was taken iu. “luez explained that she. was held as prisoner by the chief of the tribe, lied Eagle, who was determined she should marry him. Red Eagle was a half- blood, bis father being a Spaniard. The en** trance to the cave was narrow, well con cealed, and is known only to a few of the Indians. They still swarmed in the mountains, but iu a few weeks were going south for a raid upon the settlements, aud only a small guard were to be left iu tho cave. “All this Inez hurriedly explained to Joe and it was agreed that he was to lie coucealed in the unexplored portions of the cave to the rear, recover from bis wounds, and wuit till the Indians left be fore attempting a rescue, while Inez was to furnish him with provisions from her own allowance. ‘The chief, Rod Engle, in the mean* time treated her with distinguished con sideration, offering her no indignities, and ordering that she should have whatever she oalled for. After throe weeks of weary waiting luez learned from the old woman that Rod Eagle and his braves had gone South und that four braves had beeu left to guard her day and night. They took up their places iu the far corner of tho great hall, and Joo waited impatiently until they should go to sleep. Day and night were tho sumo iu tho cuve, but finally the braves stretched themselves out one after another to sleep. That sloop was the last,for four shots from Joe’s revolving carbine tired iu rapid succession killed them all before either was aware of his danger. “The old woman was forced to guide them to tho entrance of .the cave, which was found after many aud tortu ous windings and Inez and Joe emerged from their living tomb just after snurise. Joe then saw that he had passed entirely through the mountain. “Komuldo aud his friends had long glveu them both up for dead, aud their feelings may be better imagined than de scribed wheu they returned sate aud sound after their miraculous adventures. Ever since then Joe has ridden that pony and has been perfectly happy.” “But you don't mean to tell me, Colo nel, that Joo got no other reward than that miserable littlo piece of horseflesh. Ho married Inez, of course.” ‘That’s tho way tho story writers wouid fix things, ’said the Colonel, “but they never deal iu facts as I have done. Thu Honor was as good as his word, and got a surveyor to divide the' ranch into two ]unl parts, and showed Joe about fifteen cart loads of gold and silver as his share.” No, sir,’’’said Joe, *1 want nouo of these. I want that sorrel pony. Hero are tho $50, and I want to know if yon will trust me for the other $5.’ “ ‘I’ll givo you the pony and anything else you want,’ said the Heuor. ‘You deserve anything that you will ask for.’ “But with all that the Heuor could say or do, Jog made mo take the $50 and let him have tho pony with $5 duo on it.” “Well, that is tho most unnatural end ing to a wonderfully romantic story I ever hoard. Col. Fiance Fitz Roy, there is something wrong with tho sentiment and civilization of Tusoon.” “Now, don’t deceive yourself there again,” put in the Colonel. “ ‘Mountain Joo’ and Inez Komuldo aro to he married next week, aud we will both go to the wedding.” Nclienek’N Uiilmoiiie Nyrii|», for the Cure of Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
