Stbacuje, N. Y., September, 11.—
Tne platform of the Democratic 8tate
Convention adop ed to-day, reasserts the
principles of popular liberty laid down
by the founders of tho republic; holds
to tho constitution and the rights of
tbe States under tho constitution, and
opposes the tendencies of the Bepnblican
party to centralization and consolidation.
It declares that this republic is a na
tion to the extent and for the purposes
defined in the constitution, but that the
Democrats will resist all attempts to
transform it into an Empire. It depre
cates the effotts of the Bepnblican mana
gers to revive sectional feuds; demands
honest elections and an honest count,.and
says “never again by fraud or force shall
the popular will be set aside to gratify
unscrupulous partisans.” _
It oondemns the use of Federal pat
ronage to influence eleotions and expre-es
shame and sorrow at the disgraceful re
pudiation of all their protV Bsions of civil
saxrioe reform by the Executive and his
supporters.
It favors geld and silver as the oonsti-
tntion&l money of the country, but it
ooodemns the speculative methods of the
present Seoretary of the Treasury, tbe
favoritism shown by him to partioular
banks and syndicates, and the extrava
gance permitted in connection with his
refunding schemes.
It condemns the action of the President
snd Bepnolicsns in Congress with regard
to the questions debated in the extra ses
sion, and declares tie Democrats will
continue to uphold the system of untram
m,led suffrage absolutely free from
Federal force or supervision.
After the adoption of tbe platform tha
convention proceeded to mike nomina
tions. Samuel Hand, of Albany, p,e-
sented tbe name of Lucius Bobioaou,
which was greeted with cheer-, hooting
and ht-s.s. C. W. Brooks, of New York,
put in nomination General Henry W.
Slocum. (Great applanse.) After
speeches against the nomimtion of Bob-
inson by T. Grady, of New York, and J.
McGaire, which were frequently inter
rupted bv hia3ss and applause, Mr. Oow.
en, cf Albany, presented the name of
Jjhn C. Jacobs, chairman of- the conven
tion, and asked the Secretary to
pnt the question of his nomination by
acclamation. There was an almo. fc
unanimous response of the ayes and long
continued cheering, after which the Seo
retary declared Mr. Jacobs nominated.
The Utter, however, declined to accept
and dvcided the nomination imformal and
irregular. Great confusion anl excite
ment ensued, but at fonr o’clock, when
quiet was restored, the rule was callrd for
the vote. After twenty hal voted for
Bcbinson, the Tammany delegation
wi hdrew, and the remainder of the Con
vention nominated Bobin3on by 213 to

Londcn, September 11 —Tbe Man
chester Ouardian, in an euitonal, says :
“In consequence of the obeapness of pro
visions, tbe fall in wages is not anything
like so senons In its effect upon the con
dition ot tbe working paople as tha meas
ure of the rcduotion appears to indioute.
Though, at the prtseut moment, the cot
ton indastry is overshadowed by me
nacing clouds, there are already dis
cernible signs of returning prosperity.
The importance of favorable reins in
Asia can hardly be exaggerated, and we
may reasonably hope taut next year iu In

Indian advices sta'e that General
Boberts left Kohat for tha front ou
W-dnnsday tbe 10th instant. General
Massey, upon first hearing of the mssu>-

Toe sa horitiea of India have been noti

The Chisholm Murder TriaL
DsKtLB, Miss., September 11—At
f ,nr o’clock p. m., yesterday tho jurymaa
in the Gully murder case expressed him
self us feeling well enough to listen to
the evidence for an hour or two Th-
defense introduced a number of witnesses
to prove the character of tho defendant.
The defense olosed its case at 5:30 yester
day afternoon. This morning the jury
retired for a short time to make aa ex
amination of the j til iu which the mur
der was committed.
Upon their return the prosecution in
troduced one witness in rebuttal, (C. 0.
Lincoln, the former sheriff,) to prove
that the lack on the door at the head of
the stairway ia the jail had been changed
since the shooting occurred. At 10 a. so.
the evidence was all in, ana the ergu
meut wss opened for tha prosecution by
Dstrict Attorney Ford, who was followed
by Thomas H. Woods, of MeridiaD,
and It. M. Meek, of Oolnmbna, Missis
sippi, for the deforeo, and by Judge
Joshua S. Morris, or Vicksburg, who made
the dosing argument for the prosecution.
Counsel were limited to two hours on
each side.
In oontinning the case for the State
the Distriot Attorney summed up all the
facta ia evidence Ro;ng to show a con
spiracy on the part of the defendant and
others to murder Chisholm, as the remit
of which Corn-dia Chisholm was killed.
These faots oouaisted principally of ac
tions ou toe part of roe oit.zans bc the
funeral of John W. Gully, tho evening
before the killing of Chisholm, together
with declarations made by tbe defendant
and others on that day.
The defense up to tnis hoar ha3 be :a
forcibly presented. The case his not
yet been given to the jury. Colonel
Meek is now speaking for the defense
It has alwaya been tho praotics in this
district for the District Attorney to close
for the State, but be has in this inetsne >
left the closing argument to Judge Mor
ris. This departure from the uenal
practice has created Borne comment
among thoao attending the trial. The
jury will retire shortly.
