Atlanta, October 8.—A bad case was
I filed in the Superior Court this afternoon.
' It was ti»e first case entered on the new
docket I), aud is a libel for divorce.
Particular stress was laid upon the senti
ment of Grant, that the passions of the war
were at an end. and amazement was ex
pressed that a man speaking over his tomb |
should be so audacious a* to say there is
no reconciliation, that rebellion is not at an
end, that the only effective way to suppress ]
it is again to send the “Boys in Blue t >the j
South. Quoting from Senator Sherman’s \
npeech, the speaker said

Judge Thurman said the issue raised by
Gherman is a dangerous one to the business
jind prosperity of the American people, and
the effort to biow into tlame the dying em
bers of civil strife should ba frowned down
by all loyal people.
The speaker next proceeded to answer
•the arguments of Sherman concerning the
grievous condition of the colored race in
the South, claiming that they were now in
the enjoyment of greater prosperity and
greater civil rights than were ever enjoyed
on this globe by an equal number of their
race. He dated the prosperity of the sec
tion from lK«o, when the Democrats came
into control and Radical rule and carpet
bagger reign ceased. At the end of ten
Years it can be safely claimed that there
is not an industry in the
•South but is more prosperous
than it ever was in that region before. Now
they have in many lines of mnnufacture be
come rivals of the mills o! the Eastern
states. The speaker sketched briefly the
xnony enterprises in development in the
South, the free schools for the colored
youth, the contentment which exists among
the colored people, and the fact that they
have not migrated to any of the old free
States. All this, it was argued, proves that
they were not discontented, nor murdered,
nor deprived of their rights, ns depicted by
Senator Sherman and other Republican
orators. The colored uinn seemed to prefer
living with the white men * of the South,
even though they be Democrats, to dwell
ing in the tents of Radicals, even though
they be saints. It was argued that all those
things could not be so if the negroes South
were in the state of wretchedness which
lias been so often asserted.
Judge Thurman quoted at length from the
tenth census statistics in proof of the asser
tions which he had made, the principal
point being that the colored men are in a
majority in but two of the Southern States
—South Carolina and Mississippi—ami he
confined his argument to the census of those
two States. The object in these figures was
to show the depression in all values in
periods covered by Republican rule and the
advance in all material interests under Dem
ocratic government After disposing of a
wilderness of figures in regard to the condi
tion of South Curolina, the speaker summed
tip by saying:
iu short everything that feeds or clothes the ne
gro in that Stste is within his reach to s degree tlist
he never knew twfnre. Now. once more, I put it to
you: Could this lie the case if Mouth Carolina is iu
the lawless condition tbwi the IUthcal speaker* ran*
resent it to l*e! Not much. Miner citizens. This
continued stream of prosperity under Democratic
rule proves that that rule is beneficent, and the
quiet that prevail* in that State proves that the peo
ple of all classes there are contented with their
government.
Judge Thurman denied the assumption of
Senator Sherman that all colored voters in
the South are Republicans and would vote
that ticket if not terrorized. He said
If it were true, it would be a serious question
whether people so servile and cowardly are fit to ex
ercise the elective franchise. But for me. I do not
believe they are so utterly debased. I believe that
having good reason for not voting the Republican
-ticket they abstain from doing so in great num
bers. or vote the Democratic ticket. I know
very well that under the manipulation
•of the Freedman's Bureau agent* soon after the war,
the colored people South were to a great extent
drawn into Republican son-ailed Union Leagues,
and were taught to twlieve that if the Democratic
I arty succeeded they would lie once more reduced
ft) slavery. I do not deny that great effect was pro
duced upon their minds by these false pretenses,
but we have good reason to believe that year by
year these false impressions have grown weaker and
weaker, and that the negroes have to a great degree
learned the truth.

A. Shooting: Affray,
Chicago, October ft.—The strange and
wild story of John M. Wilson, who staggered
into the Twelfth street station, Saturday
night last, proclaiming himself a murderer,
is true. The following dispatch, received
last night from Philadelphia, confirms his
tale:
Hold Wilson. He Is wanted for the murder of
Anthony Daly, who disappeared mysteriously about
the middle of February, 18K1, from his farm in
Montgomery county, near Joy Hill cemetery. Will
send on for him. [Signed).
F. 11. Kelly. Chief of Detectives.
In his drunken talk Wilson told of the
horrible manner in which he killed Anthony
Daly, a farmer of Ivy Hill. Pa: how after he
had worked for him he asked him for money,
and on being refused visited the neighbor
ing village and got drunk. Returning, he
stealthily entered the sleeping room of Daly,
and picking up a meat cleaver brained the
sleeping victim. The details following are
almost too horrible to relate. The murderer
deliberately lmckcd the body to pieces,
sowed securely the members iu a bag, and
dumped them into the Wissahiekon river.
When sufficiently sobered to renliz.e the
horrible deed he had committed, he fled
the country, arriving in Chicago after almost
two years wandering. Wilson says he has
been nearly frantic ever since he committed
the deed, and 1ms vainly tried to drown his
remorse with liquor. * About two weeks
since he met a child greatly resembling that
of the man he murdered. Since then he
has known no peace of mind, and on Satur
day night got drunk and hired a boy to take
him to the police station, where ho made his
confession.
a woman’s death sentence.
Utica, N. Y., October 6—Mrs. Druse,
who murdered her husband with the aid of
her son, daughter nnd nephew, in Warren,
Herkimer county, last December, and cut
up and burned the remains, was to-day
sentenced by Judge Williams to be executed
Wednesday, November 2->. No woman has
been executed in central New York for over
forty years. The court house was crowded
ty’ p<*ple of both sexes and all ages. At 9
o clock Mrs. Druse was escorted into the
court-room by officer Watson. She looked
haggard and worn. Upon the opening of
the court, Counsellor Luce made a motion
for a new trial, which was denied by Judge
Williams. The prisoner was then told to
stand up. She arose, and Judge Williams
pronounced sentence. Mrs. Druse never
flinched nor showed any emotion until she
was passing out of the court room, when
she hurst into tears. Counsellor Luce will
secure a stay of proceedings and appeal the
cose on a motion for n new trial.

Meeting of tlielr Convention at Worcester
—'The Candidate*.
Worcester, Mass., October 7. —The
Democratic State convention was colled to
order at 11.30 this morning by Hon. P. A.
Collins, chairman of the State committee.
A temporary organization was effected by
naming the executive officers of the State
committee. The usual committees were
then appointed. The committee on perma
nent organization reported the name of
John E. Fitzgerald for president, and
Colonel J. W. Covinev ami J. P. Donnvan
for secretaries. Mr. Fitzgerald, upon tak
ing the elmir, addressed the convention at
some length. In the course of his remarks
he said:
Let me congratulate you on tlie fact that this is
the first Democratic State convention in a quarter
of a century which could send forth greeting* to
the Democracy of the country over a national tri
umph of our party principle* iu the inauguration
of u Democratic President. After a quarter of a
century of uninterrupted power, wielded with re
morseless party ostracism, the Republican i»art
steps down and out, an example aud warning to u>’
their successors, and whether our lease of power
shall continue longer than four years uml into a
quarter of a century depends upon how
well we have profited oy the lessons
of the past aud how zealously aud honestly we strive
to carry out the promises made the ]>eople in our
State aud national platforms. We must remember
that w care only in for a probationary period. Our
triumph was as much the result of distrust on the
part of the jieople in the candidate and leaders of
the Hepulillcau party as of implicit confidence iu
us. We were triumphant on the faith of the prom
ises made, because as a pledge of our sincerity wo
nominated a man for President who In his official
life wvs the embodiment of the sound principles of
our party 'platform. Honor and patriotism alike
demand that our pledges to the people shall be kept
and fairly carried out. so that when our years of
probation are at an end the voter* of tho laml shall
say. “Well iloit.i, thou good and faithful servants,"
and entrust with their affairs for four years more.
Already is the Democratic administration, though
only a few months iu power, demonstrating its fit
ness to control the destiny of the lU-pulilic aud IU
sense of honor iu carrying out its pledges to the
people.

London, October 7.—The French election
returns will perhapa he iimile more intelli

statement of tho attitude of the various po
litical parties. The Conservatives, who
have made extensive Rains, nre monarchists
of one faction or another. Some of them
are adherents of the Comte de Paris, others
of tho Bonaparte family. They would
like to see monarchical Rovernraent
restored in France. The Kepublican,
or moderates are supporters of the present
ministry, with M. Brisson and M. de Frey-
einet as representative leaders. They are
likewise partisans of Jules Ferry who was
formerly prime minister. The lindicnls

to abolish the Senate and substi

old convention of 1783. The loss of seats
by the Republicans will lend to a recon

A WOMAN H SENTENCE.
all are oue a^aiu; that the bitterness of the past is
Rone; that patriotism reiRii* supreme, autl that the
rebels and traitors to-day are those who for party
purpose* are willtnR to do anything, whether it be
the stealing of the Presidency or the stirring up of
sectional hate to the detriment of tlie busiuess
prosperity of our country. The fire of sec
tional animosity is dead, thauk heaven,
and its emliers are cold, and all the blowing of
party bellows, though that ancient iustrumeut Ini
manipulated by pre-Adamites aud aute-diluvian*.
can never give them life and warmth again. Fos-
silism ceases to interest, be it Democratic or lie-
publican. Masquerading before neople in the en
sanguined clothing of dead aud buried issues, as
Senators Hoar and Sherman are dotug. is as ridicu
lous a sight, were It not uni»atiiotie aud wicked,
as could be the anpcarauce in our streets of au ec
centric individual who adopted in our day as his
style of dr**—• that of the Elizabeth period or of
the Pirates of Penzauce.
The administration of President Cleveland has
demonstrated that the rights of the colored people
are safe in Democratic hands. For twenty-four
years, one-half the people of this republic have
been ostracised politically, aud have been declared
unfit to be entrusted with the government of this
country or with any national officers, and It was
prophesied by the leaders of the Uepublinin party,
who seemed to think they held a perpetual title to
power in the land, that the advent of a Demo
cratic administration would ruin the
laud. lower our credit and bankrupt
the treasury. The country has now l»een governed
by a Democratic administration for six mouths, ami
the siiu ha* risen and set as usual, trade is reviving,
each man takes his place at his accustomed business
as when the other party ruled aud plundered, the
credit and honor of the United States stand as high
as ever, and for the first time in twenty-four year*
the firmness of Marry iu the Navy Dejiarttneiit has
come back, as witues* the prompt actions iu the
Panama affair.
The platform, which was unanimously
adopted, declares that the Democrats of
Massachusetts have full confidence in the
President, in his wise caution, hm far-seeing
sagacity, his courage and firmness, his de
termination to administer the government
in the interest ot the whole people, and his
devotion to the fundamental principles of
the national democracy; that under nis ad
ministration every reform required to make
the government pure nnd honest will l»e
made; that seetionnl prejudice and jealousy
will disappear, and that tlie civil service
will be established on a brood basis of jus
tice and quality, securing \o the adminis
tration official sympathy with its ]>olicy,
not creating nn official class, but giviug
every citizen who is capable nnd honest a
right to be selected for public employment.
The resolutions continue: “We therefore
pled j to Grover Cleveland, President of
the United State*', our unfaltering support."
The platform, after alluding in fitting terms
to the death of Geii.Graut, conclude* by de
claring that veterans should have preference
in the allotment of office.
The following ticket was nominated:
For governor, Frederick O. Prince; lieuten
ant-governor, H. H. Gilmore; secretary of

London, October f>.—Tho Times’ Paris
correspondent says: Owing to jhe number ber 1st comes the entire
of cabinet ministers defeated at the elec

of Deputies, it will be necessary for tbe
cabinet to be remodeled or resign from of
lice before the chambers meet. If the Rad
icals ally themselves with members of the
Bight, they cun overthrow the ministry,
leaving France iu a permanent crisis, which
will seriously jeopardize the existence of the
Republic.
Paris, October 6.—The Republique Fran-
caise, in an editorial to-day on tlie results
of the elections on Sunday last, says; “Over
one-third of the Chamber of Deputies are
Conservatives. This is a serious evil.” It
then implores Bepublienns to unite on can

are necessary and preserve the integrity of
the republic.
Paris, October 5.—MM. Mangon, Wal-
deck-Boussean, LeGmnde and Herault,
who were defeated in the elections, have
retired from the cabinet. It is rumored
that the Boyulist success! a will insure the
eximlsion of the Orlennist princes and
others.
Disorders were renewed here this evening.
