& straight Democrat.
* THi< CONVENTION CALLED TO OEDEB*
In calling the Convention to order
Mr. Belmont said : 5
Gentlemen of the Convention, it is
again my privalege to welcome the dele
gates of the National Democracy, who
five met in order to present‘to the
rican people the candidates for
and Vice President, for whom
they solicit the suffrages of the Democrat
ic and Conservative voters of this
great Republic. At our last Nation
al Convention, ou the 4th July,
1868, 1 predicted that the election of
General Grant would result in the gradu
al usurpation of all the functions of
Government by the Executive, and by
Congress to be enforced by the bayonets
of a Military Despotism. The vast
majority of the people of the
United States, have witnessed with grief
and sorrow, the correctness of that pre
diction, and they look forward with fear
and apprehension to the dangers which
are threatening us if, by the re-election
of General Grant, the policy thus far
pursued by the Radical party, be cor -
tinned.
The thinking men of both parties have
become alive to the fact that we are now
living under a military despotism, over
riding the civil authorities in many
States of the Union; that by the enact
ment of arbitary and unconstitutional
laws through a depraved majority in
Congress, the rights of these States are
infringed and trampled upon, and ttiat
Cmsarism and Centralization are under
mining the very foundations of our Fed
eral system, sweeping away the con<4itu
tional bulwarks erected by the wisdom
of the fathers of the Republic. These
abuses have become so glaring that the
wisest and best men of the Republican
party have severed themselves from the
Radical wing, which is trying to fasten up
on the country another fonr years reign of
corruption and despotism; and, whatever
individual opinion we may entertain as
to the character of the candidate whom
they have selected in opposition to Gen.
Grant, there can’t be any doubt of the
patriotic impulses which dictated their
action, nor can any fault be found with
the platform of principles upon
which they have placed their candi
dates. The resolutions of the Cincinnati
Convention are what the country require,
and they must command the hearty sup
port of every patriot throughout the vast
extent of our laud. In the struggle
which is before us. We must look to
principles and not men, and I trust that
no personal predelictions will deter us
from doing our duty to the American
people.
General Grant was a good and
faithful soldier during our civil war; his
stubborn and indomitable courage
helped to crown the Union arms with
victory, and the American people have
rewarded his services with the most un
bounded generosity. I am wiliing to
concede that his intentions on taking
the Presidential chair were good
and patriotic; but he has most
signally and sadly failed in the
discharge of the high trust im
posed upon him by the confidence of a
grateful people. He is at this moment
the very personification of the misrule
which is oppressing us, and his re-elec
tion is fraught with most deplorable con
sequences for the welfare of the repub
lic, aud endangers the liberties of our
people.
On the other hand, Mr. Greeley has
been heretofore a bitter opponent of the
Democratic party, and the violent attacks
against myself individually, which have
from time to time appeared in his jour
nal, certainly do not entitle him to any
sympathy or preference at my hands;
but Mr. Greeley represents the national
and constitutional principles of the Cin
cinnati Platform, and by liis admirable
and manly letter of acceptance, he has
shown that he is fully alive to their
spirit, and that if elected lie means to
carry them out honestly and faithfully.
Should you, therefore, in your wisdom,
decide to pronounce in favor of the Cin
cinnati candidates, I shall, for one, most
cheerfully bury all past difference, vote
and labor for their election with the same
zeal and energy with which I have sup
ported heretofore, and mean ever to sup
port, the candidate of the Democratic
party. The American people look with
deep solicitude to your deliberations. It
is for you to devise means by which to
free them from the evils under which
they are suffering; but in order to obtain
that end, you are called upon to make
every sacrifice of party preference.
However much you might desire to
fight the coming battle for our rights
and liberties under one of the trusted
leaders of the Democratic party, it will
become your duty to discard all conside
ration of party tradition, if the selection
of a good and wise man, ontside of our
own rank offers better chances of success.
You must rf member that you are here,
not only as Democrats, but as citizens of
our common country, and that no sacri
fice can be too great which she demands
at your hands.
Mr. Belmont, after some personal re
marks, nominated Thomas Jefferson Ran
dolph, of Virginia, saying, “It is an au
spicious omen that a son of the author
of the Declaration of Independence is to
inaugurate the struggle of the Democra
cy for freedoom and equality for every
Amtricau citizen, and agdinst oppres
sion and tyranny in our fair land.”
Randolph was elected by acclamation.
He said: “I am aware that the very great-
honor conferred upon me by this body
is due to no personal merit of my own,
but is a token of respect to the
State from which I come, and is a
recognition of other circnmstances pos
sibly adventitious. I am, perhaps, the
oldest member of this body, and a life of
eighty years spent in the Democratic Re
publican parry, constitutes me a senior
member. I remember freshly every
Presidential contest from the first elec
tion of Jefferson to the present and I
can say with truth that I remember
none which involved higher ques
tions of personal liberty, local
self-government, honest administration,
and Constitutional freedom than the
present, or one which demands of our
party and our people a calmer or more
earnest resource of Presidential prin
ciples.
‘It strikes me as the duties of this body
and of this hour to wrest the Govern
ment from the hands, of its present des-
potic and corrupt holders, and to place
it m honest hands, to restore to the citi
zens everywhere the proud consciousness
of personal right, and to all the States
perfect integrity of local self-government.
This, with the recognition of the su
premacy of the civil Constitution and
the law will, in my judgment, discharge
all present duty.”
NEW YORK NEWS.

New York, July S.—William Cullen
Bryant prints a card, stating that it is
impossible for him to receive any formal
nomination for the Presidency, and if
offered, it is equally impossible for him
to commit the folly of accepting it.
Representatives of two million dollars
worth of South Carolina bonds met,
preambled that they were defrauded of
accrued interest by dishonest politicians,
and resolved to co-operate with the
State anthorities in prosecuting the rob
bers of the Treasury. Judge Willard was
spokesman.
Stokes made his statement to-day,
giving his version of the tragedy: “I
went up by the ladies’ entrance, and
when I got up, I saw a lady come out of
the parlor. She turned away her head and
I saw I was mistaken, and I started to
go down stairs when I saw Fisk coming
up stairs. He made a rush and when he
got to the platform he pulled out his
pistol. I could not, by any possibility
be mistaken. I saw it as plain as any
thing I ever saw. It was a silver mount
ed pistoL I was in a line with him then,
so I jumped aside and said ‘don’t fire’
and palled out my own pistol and fired.
I had it in my outside coat pocket
or I would not have had time enough to
draw. I leaned on the rail and cocked it
with one hand and fired. He held his
pistol in both hands. As I fired he cried,
“Oh !”‘ He didn’t stagger much at the
first shot, and I fired again. I knew he
would shoot me if I didn’t fire. I was
three or four steps down. He dropped
his pistol on the stairs after the second
shot. There was no one near at the time.
I had ^received numerous warnings that
Fisk had threatened to have my life.”
Question—“Did you intend to hit Fisk
when you fired?”
Answer—“Yes sir."
Question—“And knew your pistol was
loaded with four balls ? ”
Answer—“Yes sir.”
Miss Mansfield was also on the stand.
Fisk was a very moderate drinker. She
gives a curions story. Fisk called at Mans
field’s house and said unless I turned to
him he would kill Stokes. Fisk said “you
had better release me from this thing.”
Mansfield said “yes, if you come out
publicly and acknowledge I was
right and the affidavits against me were a
fraud.” Fisk said, “where so many people
are involved, he could not.” Mansfield
said, “I won’t withdraw.” Fisk said,
taking out a revolver, “then I will kill
Stokes.” I told Stokes and advised him
to be careful.
New York, July 8.— Two butchers
having had an unsatisfactory fight in a

other batchers, they fought with slaugh

er is dying.

Washington, July 7.—A Herald special
from London says the delay in Dr. Hou-
ard’s release is because Senor Matos
wants Sickles to request his release,
which Sickles refuses to do, because the

guilty, and therefore unjustifiably held.

Southerner, by a mob of Radical negroes.
The dispatch says “the 4th of July was
observed here to-day by a large crowd of
negroes. Capt. Biggs of the Southerner
was present as a reporter. He was as
soiled by a large number of negroes and
saved his life with difficulty, after
having exhausted all his weapons. It is
certain that the attack was planned be
fore hand. Capt. Biggs escaped with a
few slight scratches. The authors of the

him with me.”

State of tbe Market.
Business last week was generally good, and prom
ises to still improve, in view of the large incoming
crop.
Cotton has been steady and firm, at 24# cents;
but opens this week with a slight weakening ten
dency. Receipts and sales in this city are very
slight. Home consumption demands the supply.
No change in money matters—rather tight, but
collect! ms good.
Com is slightly off, bnt trade is tolerably active.
The meat market has somewhat advanced, with a
stiffening tendency. Dispatches from the West
show an excited state of prices. The trade here is
rather brisk.
u There is a limited stock of country produce, with
an extreme scarcity of good country butter. The
medium supply of spring chickens is in good de
mand.
Oranges and lemons are unusually high.
Leather is livelier; country kips in demand; prices
stationary.
The dry goods trade has been rather dull lately;
bnt is brightening, with a better prospect.
Woolen fabrics have slightly declined from high
prices. Of course there is little demand at present;
the trade is prospective. CarpetB, lamberquins,
etc., have very active sale. Atlanta can certainly
furnish as fine and large variety as any city in the
South. We cannot imagine anything finer than we
have been shown in this market.
Hardware unchanged, and firm at quotations. Iron
ties are 8#, on account of the late rise in iron.
Live stock market quiet Good beef cattle scarce
and in good demand.
Tobacco has declined on account of the taking off
of 12 cents tax; but in leaf has advanced 3@4 cents.’
Stocks have run low in view of the contemplated
reduction of tax; but will soon ho heavily enlarged.
Trade has revived.
