TELEGRAMS.
THE CAMPAIGN.
JEFF. DAVIS DENIES THE WHITE HVT.
Memphis, May 30.—The statement,
telegraphed from Nashville, that Jeffer
son Davis had written a letter to Wado
Hampton in favor of the election of
Greeley, and saying the Democrats
would act unwisely in making a nomina
tion, is untrue. Mr. Davis states that
he has expressed no opinion in the mat
ter.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Beading, Pennsylvania., May 30. —
The Democratic Convention has con
vened. R. B. Brown is Tem
porary Chrirman. The Committees on
Platform and Permanent Organization
were appointed, and a recess taken.
Later—Bnckalew was nominated for
Governor on the 7th ballot, and the nom
ination was then made unanimous. The
Convention then adjourned till 10, a.m.,‘
tomorrow. Nothing on Greeley yet
WARMOTH RENOMINATED.
New Orleans, La., May 30.—Pinch-
back’s Bepnblican Convention nomina
ted Warmoth for Governor and Pinch-
back for Lieut Governor.
It passed a resolution indorsing the
administration of Warmoth, and ad
journed to meet Jnne 19th, at Baton
Kouge. After adjournment, Pinchback
made a speech, stating that he would
support the nominee of the Philadelphia
Convention at all hazards.
THE LIBERAL REFORMERS.
Boston Mass., May 29.—The meeting
of the Liberal Beforin Convention here
is large and enthusiastic.
New York, May 30.—James Gordon
Bennett is in a very dangerous condition.
The sacrament for the dying was admin
istered to him yesterday and his son and
States, as the foundation and limitation
of the powers of the General Govern
ment and the safe shield of the liberties
I of the people, demands for the citizens
the largest freedom consistent with pub
lic order, and for every State the right
of self-government; that to uphold the
former and protect the latter, the De
mocracy of Pennsylvania can find no
better platform upon which to stand,
than the great leading principles enu
merated in the inaugural address of
President Jefferson and the farewell ad
dress of the immortal Jackson. Upon
these two great State papers we plant
ourselves and enter the contest of 1872.
Resolved, That, abused as the public
confidence has been, by a long period of
mismanagement, waste and fraud, this
Convention invokes the co-operation of
all citizens of the Commonwealth, in the
earnest effort, which the great constitu-
ence it represents is about to make, to
remove from our State administration,
every tail t of political corruption.
The interest of every Pennsylvania,
is directly and vitally concerned in the
eradiction of all unjust and useless
practices by which individual fortunes
may be created at the public costs, and
the attempt to do this, can be made
certainly successful by the union of the
upright and fair-minded men of all par
ties, and by sustaining candidates of un
questioned abilities an d unspotted names.
Resolved, That this Convention appeals
to the people of Pennsylvania for the
snpport of the candidate for Governor,
whom it has placed in nomination, be
cause his election will secure, at once, a
correction of existing wrongs and the
permanent future piosperity of the State.
It asks, for him, support, because he has
been nominated,not to subserve the views
or promote the interests of any caucus or
faction, but to meet the requirements of
nrgent and common need; because he
fnlly represents, and in his life and char
acter fairly illustrates, the true spirit
and principles of popular government
because he has been an earnest, sincere
and efficient opponent of the fraudulent
practices and false doctrines of the party
that has held power, through many long
years of misrepresentation; hecanse he
stands pledged, by the recoid of his
whole life, to administer his office, if
elected, for the benefit, and only for the
benefit, of the people; because be can
be trusted to secure a careful,
economical and responsible control
of the agents and officials, and the Treas
ary of the Commonwealth; because he
can be relied on to withstand unfonnded
and unjust demands, to the prejudice of
public rights, to oppose, with vigor, the
encroachment of powerful corporations,
and energetically resist the grant, to ag
gregated capital, of privileges which
could be used to injure, hamper,
and impede the efforts of individ
uals iu the various enterprises and
fields of labor which the State affords,
and because his action in the past is
proof that his official -influence will be
used hereafter to prevent the mischief
of special legislation and to destroy the
possibility of procuring the enactment
of any statute by the use of money, or
any other corrupt means.
Resolved, That in presenting the Hon.
James Thompson for Judge of the Su
preme Court, we have only to invite the
consideration of the people to the integ
rity, impartiality and pre-eminent legal
ability which have characterized the dis
charge of his judicial dnties, during his
fifteen years of service upon the bench
of the Supreme Court.
Resolved, That in the persons of the
candidates presented! for the offices of
Auditor-General, Congressman at large
and the details to the Convention to
amend the Constitution, we have candi
dates eminently worthy of the con
fidence and support of the people.
Resolved, That the grant, by the [Radi
cal Legislature of this State, of nume
rous charters creating such corporations
as the Southern Improvement Co.. Con
tinental Improvement Co., and others of
similar character, is nnjnst to the in
terest of trade, is dangerous to the rights
and liberties of the people, and as such,
meets with our unqualified condemna
tion.
WASHINGTON NEWS.
A TRIANGULAR FIGHT FOR VICE.
New York, June 2.—The Times spe
cial, from Philadelphia, says the New
York delegation will be there, entire, on
Monday and Tuesday, A. M., and will
elect a chairman, select committees, and
come to some determination as to Vice
President.
There appears to be some division of
sentiment among the delegates as to this,
and it is thought Henry Wilson will
have a large vote among them.
Colfax, also, has strength, and will
probably receive nearly one-half on the
first ballot.
Wm. D. Beckman, of the Ohio dele
gation, has arrived, and announces that
Q mS S0 Y, Mr - Craighead has a letter from Gover-
daughter, who are an Europe were tele- nor Dennison, withdrawing as a candi
date, and that Colfax will receive the vote
graphed for.
D. N. Botossi, Greek Consul at this
port, publishes a card this morning,
stating that the report that seven Greek
criminals have been shipped fer this
country is a monstrous fabrication.
the KEY-STONE DEMOCRACY.
Beading, Pa., May 31.—The Conven
tion reassembled.
Mr. Buckalew, candidate for Governor,
zaade a speech, returning thanks for his
nomination, but. made no reference to
any National topics, or in relation to the
nomination for President.
Wm. Hartly, of Bedford, was nomi
nated for Auditor-General. Messrs. Jas.
H. Hopkins, of Pittsburgh, Bied M.
Vaux, of Philadelphia, and Hendrick B.
Wright, of Luzerne, were selected as
candidates at large for Congress—Mr.
Wright being chosen on the second bal
lot.
The Convention then adjourned until
two o’clock P. M.
PLATFORM OF THE KEY-STONE DEMOCRACY
Beading, Pa., Jane 1.—The following
are the resolutions adopted by the State
Democratic Convention:
Resolved, That the Democratic party,
while in the future, as in the past, firmly
upholding the Constitution of the United
of nearly the whole of this delegation.
The Vice President is dubious and,
though, just now, the contest is between
Colfax and Wilson, the Connecticut del
egation has determined to bring forward
General Hawley, and he may be a com
promise candidate.
SOME CHAPPAQUACKEBY IN NEW YORK.
New York, June 3.—A mass meeting
.was held this evening to ratify the Cin
cinnati nominations. The Hall of
Cooper Institute was well filled.
Meetings were organized outside,
which were addressed by different
speakers. General John Cochrane was
Chairman of the Institute meeting.
Among the Vice-Presidents were Ben
Wood, Erastus Brooks, Geo. Wilkes,
John Mullaly, and others. The resolu
tions adopted hail the approval of the
ticket in the South as the return of union
feeling.
— »—•—<
St. Louis, May 29.—The National Ag
ricultural Congress and Agricultural As
sociation have been consolidated, under
the name of the National Agricultural
Congress. The President is J. P.. Rey
nolds, the Secretary Charles W. Green,
of Tennessee.
Washington, May 28.—In the House
the extension of the suspension of the
habeas corpus was defeated by a vote of
94 to 188.
Washington, May 28.—The Depart
ment of Justice, will soon issue an order
discontinuing, in the courts, pending
proceedings for violations of the Four
teenth Amendment, except against per
sons excluded from amnesty.
Official statements regarding the Eng
lish Ministry’s action upon the supple
mental article to the Treaty of Washing
ton are indefinite and withheld from the
public.
Bed Cloud and his fellow chiefs were
the White House to-day. Tuey
seemed dissatisfied with the President’s
speech, which, among other things, pro
posed their removal to the Che»okee
country.
It is apprehended that the House ap
propriation for the awards of the South
ern Claims Commission will fail in the
Senate for want of time.
To-day, Judge Harris, of Virginia, ad
dressed the Senate Committee in favor
of the House appropriation of $220,000
to pay the Ant War Mail Contractors
without proof of loyalty. The result is
doubtful.
Poland moved" to suspend rules and
pass the Senate bill extending the Ku-
Klox bill till the end of the next regular
session of Congress. Bejected by yeas
94, nays 108. Some 22 Republicans
voted with all the Democrats against the
bill.
Mr. Poland, representing the House
portion of the Joint Ku-Klux Commit
tee, stated that if a majority had voted
for his motion, which required a two-
thirds vote, he would have reported, as
he had a right to do, at any time the
House bill, identical with the Senate bill
and which would only require a simple
majority to pass it; but as the vote just
taken disclosed a majority against the
bill he should not report the House bill
on the same subject unless he was furth
er instructed by the committee to do so,
Maynard moved to suspend the rules
and pass the Senate Supplementary Civil
Bights Bill. Bejected by yeas 113; nays
83—less than two-thirds in the affirma
tive. This was a strict party vote.
Upon motion of Judge Harris the dis
abilities of Alexander R. Boteler, or
West Virginia, and John Young Brown
of Kentucky, were removed by a vote of
85 to 40.
Washington, May 29.—All the De
partments will be closed tomorrow. [De
coration Day.—Ed. Sun.]
Ex-President Andrew Johnson will
testify on Monday, regarding the miss-
tng Buell records.'
Secretary Fish having received dis
patches from London this p. m. , drove
to the Capitol, in order to communicate
their contents to the President, who, in
company with Senator Carpenter, left
the Executive Mansion at noon for
that locality. While the President
and Secretary Fish were together,
in the room-set apart for the President,
Senators Cameron, Morton, Harlan and
others of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, with additional Republican
Senators, were seen going into _ and
coming out of the room. There is no
doubt the conversation was on the sub
ject of onr present diplomatic business
with Great Britain. Noting definite,
however, could be ascertained concerning
the character of the dispatches, but there
was a report that the English Ministry
hesitate to accept the additional article
to the Treaty of Washington, as modified,
by the Senate, the waiving of the claims
for indirect damages not having been
expressed with sufficient distinctness,
the United States merely proposing a
new rule to govern the action of the tri
bunal of arbitration, having the effect to
exclude that class of cases.
Whatever may be the ultimate dispo
sition of the additional article, it is cer
tain that, up -to 5 o’clock this evening,
there had been no definite response from
the British Government. Much inter
est on the subject is expressed in Execu
tive, Diplomatic and other circles, and
an unusually large number of telegrams
pasted between the two countries to
day.
Washington, May 29.—The Commit
tee of Conference on supplemental ap
portionment, reported that the Senate
should recede from its amendment.
Adopted.
A bill bridging the Mississippi at Oma
ha, Nebraska, passed.
The bill fixing the election of Con
gressmen and President in Louisiana, on
the same days, passed and goes to the
President.
A bill releasing Japan from $375,000
balance on a treaty, passed. Butler, of
Massachusetts, opposed the bill as giving
up nearly half a million of dollars, with
out any sufficient reason for doing
so. He hoped the Honse would
stand true to the people, and
prevent the voting away of this
money on the mere sickly sentimentality
of cultivating friendly relations with our
half-savage friends in Japan. The Ala
bama claims had been given up in order
to cultivate peace with Great Britain
and now this money was to bu given up,
in order to cultivate peace with Japan.
Thus we were buying peace, until we
shonld be the m ost degraded nation on
earth.
Butler, of Massachusetts, from the Ku-
Klux Committee, reported the bill to
amend the Enforcement Act in regard to
Elections. The reporting of this bill was
the signal for the opposition to resort to
parliamentary tactics to prevent a vote.
Holman opened the ball at 3:20 by a
motion to adjonm. Mr. Wood moved
as a substitute that when the
House does adjourn, it adjourn
to meet on Friday next. The considers
tion of these two' motions, which are
always in order, may-occupy the time of
the House indefinitely.
After several votes, by yeas and nays,
the Democrats showing no sign of yield
ing, and mariyBepublicans not caring to.
keep up the useless contest, a motion to
adjourn was carried, at half-past four, by
‘ yeas 102, nays S5.
Scott, from the select committee on
Southern outrages, reported bills to
amend the Enforcement Act and the
Supplementary Civil Bights bill, which
were read the first time.
Mr. Bayard objected to the second
reading of the bills. He questioned the
propriety of the reference of these bills
to this Committee, which had been orig
inated for a special purpose, and, cer
tainly, not to take cognizance of such
matters as were involved • in these two
bills. He did not even know that these
bills had been referred to the Committee
until it met yesterday. The proper ref
erence for these bills was to the Judicia
ry Committee.
~ Washington, May 31.—Mr. Cox is bet
ter, and hopes are entertained of his re
covery.
There was a very long Cabinet session
to-day over the Treaty. The probability
of failure increases hourly.
Washington, May 31.—The steam
boat bill was discussed.
Mr: Sumner made a motion to indefi-
nately postpone the Sundry civil ap
propriations bill, for the purpose of
making his speech on the Frenoh arms
report,which he characterized as a white
washing one—the committee having
been improperly appointed, &c. He
then proceeded to arraign the President
in the most bitter terms, referring to
him as passing his time in Palace cars,
with fast horses,and in sea-side loiterings.
He denounced him for appointing his
relatives to office, &c.
Mr. Schnrz spoke to-night. Mr. Car
penter is now speaking. The debate is
very bitter. •
Mr. Sumner’s, speech to-day was un
precedented in denunciation. He said
Grant preferred, at any time, a horse to
the Constitution. Andy Johnson was
never s« heartily abused.
Washington, Jane.—Spanish advices
indicate the early release of Dr. Houard.
The President has vetoed the bill for
the relief of J. Milton Best, of Paducah,
Kentucky, for a house destroyed, on the
ground that it was an incident of the
war, and an infinite amount of property
was destroyed in the same way. The
President also asserts the overvaluation
of the property.
In the Senate, the bill allowing privi
leges to tug and freight boats used ex
clusively for tug and freight purposes,
upou the Mississippi and its tributaries,
passed. The privilege is limited to 12
months from the passage of the act. Such
vessels are allowed to carry 150 instead
of 110, to which passenger vessels are
restrained.
Carpenter is answering Schurz.
The House took a recess,
The Conference Committee is out. It
has not yet ‘determined upon the tobacco
tax, but 20 cents uniform tax is probable

Others have i ot yet been heard from,
bnt all those recounted above have been
totally wrecked, and their crews
have not been accounted for,
except in very rare instances,
and the first who were saved could not
give any definite intelligence of those
they had left behind them.
Out of 4,000 souls, only 175 have been
accounted for. Most of these vessels
were dashed to pieces on icebergs and
fields of ice during a terrific hurricane,
Many of them were insured in American
office^.
Merchants in this city and Massachu
setts were largely interested in the fleet.
This wholesale disaster spreads poverty
and rain throughout New Foundland.
where the victims nearly all belonged and
vessels generally belonged,
Daring the night of the loss the steam
ship Retriever and 16 sail of vessels were
hemmed in by high boulders and bergs
of ice, over which tremendous seas
dashed high and wildly,
While this fleet lay to, as a last effort
to survive the hurricane, many crossing
crafts cut down each other, and one fear
ful instance is recorded wherein a vessel,
driven on an iceburg by a huge sea, fell
back with a mighty crash on the brig,
Twin Sisters, which lay beneath the
berg, and a large number of men were
instantly crushed to death, and the Twin
Sisters was literally burst in two. Fif
teen out of ninety-eight, clung to broken
spars and were, by chance, picked np by
the crew of the Retriever.
The day after the storm the ice opened
and the steamship Retriever made land,
on reaching which, she sank and keeled
over, but her crew succeeded in escaping
to the shore. She was the only vessel
that reached shore out of a fleet of six
teen in her vicinity during the hurricane.
Hundreds of the fleet are still to be
heard from, and their fate may be even
as gloomy as that of the forty-one ves
sels, of which the above account is given
by the Times.
The disaster occurred on the night of
the 11th of April. The rain of the seal
fishery is complete.

departments. ,
JjThirty persons were injured by the ex
plosion of the Epsilon. The bodies of
the Captain and firemen have not been
recovered. Low water in the boiler is
said to have caused the explosion.
New York, May 29.— A special dis
patch from Madrid says the cause of the
fall of the Sagosta Ministry is as follows:
On the presentation of the Budget, it
was found that $20,000,000 had been di
verted from the Colonial to the Interior
Department. On being called upon to
explain, Sagosta said the money was
used in the secret service. The reply was
unsatisfactory, and particulars were de
manded: . ,
Sagosta finally declared that the money
was used by the police spy department,
and produced the records, to procure
which the money was spent. These
records consist of letters of politicians,
Deputies and Generals, and of reports of
their movements.
Whether these records are true or false,
it is the most wonderful exhibit ever
made by any government. Every promi
nent Spaniard is represented as being in
volved in some conspiracy. Madrid ap
pears to be a vast nest of political in
trigue.
Serrano is said to be involved in a
movement in favor of Alphonse, son of
ex-Queen Isabella.
Rey, recently Minister of War, is said
to be compromised with the Carlists and
Sorilla with the Internationals. Distin
guished Republicans are reported as pro
posing to plunder the Bank of Spain;
Castellar as wishing, only, to seize the
coin,and Margall as urging the seizure of
the bullion also. ,The King is represent
ed as having no confidence in the capaci
ty or honesty of the Spaniards, and as
having asked the advice of his father on
the propriety of employing Prussian
Generals.
This remarkable glimpse of Spanish
parties, in their intrigues, has had the
effect of a political earthquake.
New York, May 31.—It is] reported
that 'Bennett is sinking.
New York, Jane 1.—James Gordon
Bennett is dead, aged 77 years.
E. O. Haven was, to-day, elected Sec
retary of the Church Educational So
ciety.
The report of the Committee on the
State of the Church, concerning sinful
amusements, was aga[p taken up and
finally adopted, by a vote of 185 to 75.
The Committee on Temperance re
ported a series of resolutions, declaring
in favor of a total legal prohibition of
the sale of liquors; that dealers should
be made responsible for the wars in
flicted on communities; that members of
the church should not rent property for
liquor stores, or, in any way, countenance
the traffic.
New York, June 2.—The Herald, in
announcing the death of Mr. Bennett,
says five years ago, Mr. Bennett entirely
withdrew from the active management
of the Hei'ald; but, though feeble in
frame, his general health had been re
markably good, while his fine intellect
remained unimpaird and his interest in
the events of the day continued unabat
ed, np to the moment of his fatal illness
About half-past one, last Saturday
afternoon, Mr. Bennett suffered a slight
convulsive attack, accompanied by epi
leptio symptoms, but not sufficiently
marked or violent, to excite apprehen
sions of immediate danger. At half
past one, last Sunday morning, the attack
was repeated, with greater severity.—
From that the end became evident,
although the constant attendance of
Doctors Cecarini, .Hannond and Lusk
ensured the exhaustion of all within
reach of human efforts to avert a fatal
result.
On Tuesday last, at the request of Mr,
Bennett, Archbishop McCloskey visited
his bedside, and administered to him the
sacraments of the Church. When the
last hour arrived he sank to sleep, in
death, calmly and peacefully, and his
soul passed away without a struggle.
Mr. Bennett was in the 77th year of his
age.
A Washington special in relation to
the treaty says:'It is understood that a
request for time, for a more careful con
sideration of the supplementary article,
has been made by the British Govern
ment.
New York, June 3.—In the General
Conference to-day the Committee on the
State of the Church reported that all
differences between this Church and the
Methodist Church South, were harmoni
ously settled and they proposed a com
mittee to confer with the leaders of the
Church South to bring abont fraternal
relations between the two Churches.
Several delegates spoke in favor of this
project.
The report was unanimously adopted
by a rising' vote.
Phelps, Dodge & Co., of this city,
caused the arrest of several other mer
chants, on a charge of conspiring with
their janitor to steal their private corres
pondence, thereby causing them serious
loss in business.
D. L. B. Irish and Mrs. Anderson were
arrested in Brooklyn on the strength of
the report of Professor Doremus, that he
found in the exhumed remains of Ed
ward O. Anderson sufficient arsenic to
have caused death. The arrested parties
were, some weeks ago, charged, by the
father of the deceased, with his murder,

FOR 1872 s
During the present year a President
and members of Congress are to be
elected.
Liberty must be preserved or lost. The
Corruptionists of the day—the Bond
Rings—the ambitious enemies of free
government--are artfully, persistently
paving the way to the overthrow of the
Federal Republic, founded by Washing
ton, Jefferson and Madison, and the es
tablishment- of a Centralized Empire and
a Dynasty in its stead.
THE PEOPLE can prevent this if
thoy wilt. They cau retain their free
dom, or they cau become slaves. The
destiny of this country is to be decided
by the people's voles/
If the Democratic party will but stand
firmly upon its time-honored platform,
and erect the standard of Liberty, and
honesty iu the administration of tho gov
ernment, a glorious triumph will be
achieved. Victory is within our grasp.
The enemy is giviug way—is receding
from his utter disregard of law and con
stitutional guaranties. Now is tho time
for a vigorous charge upon .hi3 wavering
dines.
The Sun, has beeu sowing the good
seed of truth. It has already brought
forth good fi nit. We shall continue to
sow tho seed, and shall expect a rich
harvest to be reaped in the triumph of
honest principles in the next election.
We trust our patrons will aid us in ex
tending the circulation of The Sun. Wq
have .entered upon our enter priseto assist
in the great work of redeeming the country
from the control of robbers, tyrants and
money-changers, who are infesting the
templo of Liberty. Their tables must be
overturned and public opinion . must
scourge them from the public presence.
We shall give all the news from the
State Capital—proceedings of the Legis-
latur&F-deeisions of the Supreme Court,
and all important news and events con
nected with the State Government; and
shall endeavor to make The Suns welcome
family visitor.
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, the
Editor-in-chief, has specially arranged
his business so as to devote almost his
entire time to the political department of
The Sun, daring the coming spring and
summer, and to the end of tb^ Presiden
tial election.
We give the proceedings oi the Legis
lature when in session, the decisions of
the gapreme Court in full, and all news
of interest connected with the State Gov
ernment.

_ Detroit, _ May 29.—The year proba
tion, for ministers from foreign lands,
was repealed. A resolution was passed
disapproving of tbe opening of art gal
leries and reading rooms on Sundays.
Eufaula, Ala.' May 29.—Hon. John
Gill Shorter, ex-Governor of Alabama, is
dead.
Madrid, May 30.—At the session of
the Cortes, to-day, Admiral Topete, Pre
sident of the Counoil, stated that the
Ministry recognized the validity of the
Convention made by Marshal Serrano
with the rebels in Biscay, pardoning
those who voluntarily surrender, and re
quested the members of the opposition
not to interpellate the Government rela
tive thereto. Upon this announcement,
Zorrilla arose and moved a vote of cen
sure upon Serrano.
It is said this action will cause Marshal
Serrano to resign his command.
Later.—Notwithstanding the* request
of Admiral Topete in the Cortes that the
opposition shonld refrain from taking
any action relative to the indorsement
by the Government of the course pur
sued by Marshal Serrano, hardly had the
excitement which was caused by the in
troduction of Senor Zorilla’s motion died
away, when Sen r Martos arose and pro
ceeded to question the Government.
The President of the Cortes refused to
answer. Senor Martos insisted on his
question, when the President declared
the action of the Deputy was insulting to
him, and left the Chamber. Great con
fusion followed the retirement of the
President. The tumult in the Cham
ber became general, and amid the din
of voices, no Deputy could be plainly
heard.
The excitement over Serrano’s gener
ous treatment of the insurgents is very
great, and the stormy scenes in the Cor
tes have served to intensify it. It is pro
bable that the Marshal, with other Min
isters who have accepted positions in the
Cabinet, will resign.
Should the King insist on making
Serrano Premier, as it is rumored he is
disposed to do, iu reward for his distin
guished service in quelling the Carlist
insurrection, grave consequences are
feared. •
London, May 28.—A debate in the
House of Commons, last night, on the
supplemental article to the Treaty of
Washington, and the reply of Mr. Glad
stone to the question of Mr. Disraeli, re
lative thereto, form the subject of the
leading editorial articles in the London
morning journals. The answer of Mr.
Glad 00 tone, is regarded as unsatisfactory*
as it adds nothing to the information
alrea dy obtained u^oa the subject.
