THE FIREMEN. Herald Special Reports From Augusta. The Contest for the Prizes. Presentation and Acceptance Speeches. Roman Rainbows the Favorites Georgia Railroad Convention. Weather, etc*, etc., etc.. Augusta, May 14, 1873. As is usual on such festive occasions, the weather has been very disagreeable. It has rained all day, notwithstanding which fact the fire companies continned their exercises, and competed for the beautiful and costly articles exhibited as premiums for excellence in the various branches of the fire service.

THE GEORGIA RAILROAD CONVENTION met this morning, but no quorum was pres ent. In the afternoon the body organized and adjourned till to-morrow. H. W. G. WASHINGTON. Washington, May 14, 1873. The President liaa appointed Henry Blackman post master at Brookhaven, Miss. They say at the Postofflce Department that the in vestigation into the Georgia postoffice matter* showed there had been some promise* made of the usual elec tioneering land, pledging support, &c., but nothing cf a nature to warrant anch harsh action as the with holding of commissions. The investigation into the Savannah poetolfice has disproved the report or suspi cion of a deficit there. Forty thousand passports have been issued by the State Department. Pierrepont accepts the Russian mission. The Supervising Inspector General of steamboats, is engaged in the preparation of roles governing ex periments on boilers, in accordance with tho act of March last. Changes continue to be made of inspec tors in all directions, the object being to secure a bet ter class of such officers. The investigation in the Elm City steamboat case under the local inspector for New London, Connecti cut, ha* been concluded, and the result reported to the Inspector General. It was found that the conduct of Captain Frederick J. Beck and pilot Nathaniel Stevens was somewhat censurable, but not to an ex tent which would warrant the revocation or suspen sion of their licenses. In the case of the collision between steamers New State and Eagle, on the Ohio river tbs local inspectors were fully satisfied that Nathan Pott*. the pilot of the New State was alone to blame for the collision, and therefore his license has been revoked. The revised steamboat rules are in the hands of a printer. Manv of the appropriations for s refund of proceeds oi sales of cotton have been rejected by the Treasury as not coming within the provisions of the act of Con gress. It does not seem to be understood among par ties interested that proceeds of sales of cotton unlaw fully seized after the thirteenth of June, 1866, will not be restored where the parties by tbemselvss or au thorized agents sold cotton to the Confederate States and received thercfoi Confederate notes, bonds or cer tificates or otbsr valuable considerations. The published report that the court of claims has decided that the cotton tax la unconstitutional, is in correct. The question of the oonstltationality of the Uw imposing tax on cotton, has never yet been before this court, although it will probably be raised in the argument of a case at the next term. This report may have arisen from the fact that the court of claims decided long ago, and has uniformly held In a number of cases since, that the cotton tax was not a charge on the captured and abandoned property fond, in other words, that the Government could not re- tbie tax from the proceeds of the Mies of captured NEW YORK. AgramoDti’a Death Confirmed—Drowned— Stokes. New Tons, May 14,1873. The Herald's special from Havanna of the thirteenth mys: •*I mw General Montero, chief of staff, who as.-uros me of the death of Agramontl. He says that his corpse was brought into Porto Principle, and exposed to the public, and identified by an immense concourse of people." The foregoing is corroborated by private telegrams. The met. drowned yesterday by the collision ef the steamer Americus and police boat Hope were Engineer Hope and three unknown prisoners, who were sen tenced for ten days for trivial offenses, and detailed to work on the Hope. The Supreme Court has granted a writ of error iu the Stokes case. The Senate defeated the Usury bill. Tweed's Broadway property was sold to-day f*.r $383,600. Specie shipments to-day $250,000. Mixon will be hanged on Friday next, as the courts and the Governor decline to interfere in the matter in any way. The makers of ladies shoes threatened to strike this merning. Tbs bsrk Ida reports a large steamer at auebor five miles east by northeast of Hatteras outer shoal. The foremast was broken off six feet above the deck. The Gasmen’s Strike in Brooklyn Still Con tinues. New Yoke, May 14. 1873. The gasmen'* strike in Brooklyn continues. Tho gas is scarce in the most populous parts of the city. Tweed's Broadway property has been sold for $14. 500—less than it cost. PENNSYLVANIA. The Centennial. Philadelphia, May 14, 1873. The Centennial Commission appointed a commit tee of five to attend the meeting of Governors, to be held in Atlanta, Ga., on the 20th instant, with a view to obtain co-operation of tho latter in the interest of the Centennial. The following constitute the com mittee: Byrd, of Alabama; French, of Mississippi; Caldwell, of Tennessee; McNeal, of Missouri; Gantt, of ArkanMS. MARYLAND. Baltimore, May 14, 1873. Mrs, Emma McKee attempted to shoot Mr. Knock, the firm of Oswalt A Knock, in his store, to-day. She alleges that Knock is her uncle and seducer. THE WEATHER. Washington, May 14, 1873. Probabilities—For the Gulf and South Atlantic States and Tennessee low barometer with rising tem perature; southeast to southwest winds, cloudy weath er and rain, clearing to-morrow iu tho Western Gulf States. TENNESSEE. The Races—First Djy. Nashville, May 14, 1873. Joe Johnston won the first—time 1and 1:49 Quartermaster won the second—time 1:45, 1:46 *£ and 1:46*£. The favorites were beaten. The first beat was by a length by Hampton, the second by a length, the third by a head, and the fourth by half a length. GEORGIA. Railroad Matters. Augusta, May 14, 1873. A railroad convention was held hero in the interest f aa air line road from Chicago to the Atlantic via August^ The convention resolved that a trunk line via KnoxvWe and Augnsta is absolutely required by increased tvtuAand freight. VIRGINIA. Richmond, May 17, 1873. John B. Mordecai, a principal lu the lato duel, who was fatally wounded, died to-night. The State law holds McCarty, the other principal, amenable for murder in the first degree, and the seconds, Wm. L. Rohall, W. B. Tobb, W. R. Trigg and J. S. Meredith, accessorits before the fact. They will all be rearrested and probably committed without lail, tho crime being a capital one. Mordecai died in great agony. NOVA ^SCOTIA. Explosion. Halifax, May 14, 1873. The Drummond Colliery Mine bad been closed for some time iu consequence of a strike, which accounts for the fire-damp explosion. All efforts to subduo the fire have failed. Two men going down the. shaft to rescue those below w*re killed by the second explo sion. Dense smoke is ponriug from all openings. The fire threatens to destroy the surface buildings. There is no hope of saving those below. LATER. The fire in the Drummond Miuc still rages There is no hope of saving the sixty men in the pit. Anoth er explosion occurred at 2 o’clock this morning. The fire caught from tho explosion of some gunpowder. Mr. Dunn and twenty volunteers went down to assist in putting it out. It is supposed that all were in rear of damos and were killed instantly by the explosion. New Glasgow, May 14, 1873. The fire at Drummond Colliery continues to burn briskly, but slowly abating. Men who bavo escaped with great difficulty from the slope, repoit that their way up they passed several bodies, their cc rades, who had probably become stupified by smoke. Since the explosion none have come up alive. The number of v ; ctims will probably reach seventy-five persons. The Convention! > THE HERALD SPECIAL REPORT FROM *T. LOUIS. A Large Attendance Yesterday. MANY PROMINENT MEN PRESENT. LETTERS FROM PRESIDENT GRANT AND OTHERS. ABLE SPEECH IN BEHALF OF THE WESTERN CANAL. CUBA. Spanibh Reinforcements—Strict Qnaranlinc Regulations. Havana, May 14, 1873. A steamer arrived to-day from Spain with 1,000 Car- liat prisoners to reinforce the army here. Steamers Yazoo, Germania and Xavan, from New Orleans, are still compelled to remain in quarantine here, although there are no cases of sickness on them, sad the Board of Health of New Orleans certify that there is no cholera in that city; but the Government here claims that quarantine is imposed on information from tho 8panish Consul at New Orleans that the cholera really exists there; this rigid enforcement in the quarantine regulations does much injury to com merce, and it is believed to have been ordered on the grounds of insufficient official telegrams. The Porto Principe reports that the Leon Battalion recently bad a fight with the insurgents, and that tho Cuban General, Ignaccio Agramonti, was killed, and his body brought to Porto Principe. General Banzlle is also reported to have been died. New Orleans steamers that have been detained at quarantine have been released to come to the city. Agramonte’s death has been confirmed. Hanquilla* denied that Agramonto was killed at Jimajoy, where the Spaniards report eighty insurgents killed. SPAIN. CALIFORNIA. The Flying Modoc*—Hot Pursuit—Beck to the Lava Beds. S.M Fiuacnro, May 14. 187*. The Modoc. are twenty-fire mile, from the late auno of action, hotly panned. They will be allowed no rest. It is thought that a force twenty-five miles hence will drive them beck toward* the leva bed*, while a force moving from there wtU keep them out. Dispatches from the leva bed* represent great ac tivity, but eo far without results. The soldiers are barraeeed by rattlesnakes and acorplons, upon which Captain Jack and hie breves feed. Firing is heard in the direction of Col. Mason’s ecoat, but the result is unknown. CONNECTICUT. New Haven, May 14,1871. The President, Generals Sherman, Sheridan, Mc Dowell and Babco. k have arrived. New Election Law for Cuba. Madbid, May 14, 1873. The new election Uw for Cuba enfranchises mer chants aud artisans, and taxes persons who follow learned professions and officials. The voting age is twenty-five years. Gen. Nouvtllas, the Minister of War, who is now in Navarre, demands reinforcements of troops in that province. The voting throughout Spain on Saturday and Sun day last for Deputies to the constituent cortes, result ed in the election of 810 Ministerial Federalists, 30 Extreme Radicals, 8 Internationalist*, 10 Independent Republicans and 30 Monarchist*. FRANCE. Pawn, May 14, 1873. It is reported that Goulard lias informed Thiers that he has resolved to resign the Ministry of the Interior unless Jalee Slmou, Minister of Public Instruction retiree. St. Louis, May 14, 1873. As I predicted in my dispatch of yesterday, tlio Convention of Western and Southern Congressmen is largely attended. Last night and this morning the number was largely in creased by fresh arrivals, and to-day every other man one meets in the hotel is a Repre scutative in Congress. 1-r.OMlNEST MEN PRESENT. Not a few members of the United Stat(s Senate are here. Among them I notice Sen ators Carpenter of Wisconsin, Norwood of Georgia, Cooper, Fianuigan of Texas, Spen cer of Alabama and many others. All seem to take great interest in the convention, and if the proceedings are carefully managed the result of the present convention cannot fail to have great influence on the country. MEETING OF THE CONVENTION. Pursuant to adjournment the Convention met to-day aud perfected organization. A number of letters were read by the Secretary from gentlemen who had been invited to attend. Among them was one from Presi dent Grant, returning thanks for the luvita- tion and expressing sympathy with the pur pose ef the Convention, and regrets at his ability to attend, RESOLUTIONS BY THE MERCHANTS. Captain Edds, the representative of the meichants of this city, presented a series of resolutions adopted by tho merchants, which he read. They were very complimentary in tone, and expressed great hopes that the re sult of the convention would be favorable to the country. THE WESTERN CANAL QUES. ION. Some business of not special interest to •ur readers was transacted, when the ques tion of the Great Western Canal came up. Rollins and Henderson delivered speeches to-day. Mr. Rollins spoke at length and in an able and eloquent speech put forward the claims of the Western Canal project. He ex plained in full its route, its perfect practica bility, and the necessity of the West for wa ter communication between the Mississippi and the Atlantic. His address was listened to with marked attention and made a very favorable impression. STILL IN FAVOR. Tims far the Western Canal seems to be decidedly popular and its friends are hopeful that it will receive the indorsement of the Convention. There is, however, an influence at work against it, although it has not yet openly manifested itself. It is in the interest of the Virginia route. Herald. Telegraphic Markets. New Youk, May 14, 1873.
