Among those pres ent were James Roach, a playwright of Hibernian descent; II. F.

July 2 — During tbop&stweek there have been several important conferences of democratic senators in this city and New York. The democratic leaders recognize this os a critical period for tho party, .tobd they are struggling to give it a'start ibut will carry it through 1884 without wrfck* lug. ‘ The tono of discussion in these con ferences has been strongly adverse to the ^protection platform advocated by the Sain. Randall wing of the party, and a definite pro gramme antagonistic to the Pennsylvania candidate for speaker has been agreed upon. The senators do not want it understood that they propose to dictate the organisation of the next house; but that is precisity what they are after, sugaricoat tho pill as they may to conceal the purpose of its operations. Sen ator Beck, the free trade leader of the senate, has been exceedingly active in working up tbia movement, which presumably la - in favor of Mr. Carlisle, al though it is claimed that tbe object is to luy down a policy and not to favor or defeat in dividuals. Mr. Back and his colleagues rec ognize the fact that unless they can succeed in harmonizing their party upon a common platform before next winter their chances of success iu 1884 will dwindle into insignlfi cance, aud it is to that end they are labor ing. A great majority of tbe democratic senators lean strongly toward free trade. Randall’s election to the speakership would reuder concert of action between the demo crats of the house and senate impossible. A failure of the two bodies to act would tear the party to pieces and ruin the prospects tlemocrutlo success next year. A lorn; key note stump speech from 8enator Beck, fu the ronu of an interview on the situation, bos been telegraphed to the Louisville Courhr Journal and Cincinnati News-Journal, In this interview the senator says "All . other questions are by com mon consent of both parties suoordlnate this overshadowing issue—the tariff. I confi doutly expect (ho house will not organise in direct antagonism to die well-known views of tho democratic senators, and a very largo el* ment in the house on this question, and in supportof Mr. Hberman aud his allies. It will organize so that we can act in harmony during the next session of congress, end enter upon the contest of 1884 with the d ,p- ocrats of botti bouses in full accord.” SENATOR BAYARD A FAVORITE.

Knox’u arm was TMinfui, but he managed to use It tolerably freely. They then took the evening train, aud got back to the city about 7 o'clock On arriving here Mr. Knox sent Mr, Chase to the h tel dleu. where he settled the editorial account, and received the editorltl baggage, consisting of a valise, a walking stick and a copy of “On a Mexican Mustaug” strapped on top of all. Mr. Knox himself croawd over to Jersey City, and took the train thence for Texas. At Philadelphia he expected to pass the nlabt. Mr. Sneehau, feeling that New York air was hard ly advisable for hte health, took a train iu an op posite direction to that taken by his defeated roe, laurels in the neighbor* w _, few days to come.

ON THE FIELD. Early in the morning a gentleman, clad lu brown tweed short coat aud suit, to match his cloee cropped head, surmounted by a tall, black silk hat, ste ped briskly out of tho frout door of tbo Hotel Dlcu aud disappeared around the corner. This was Mr. Knox. Somewhere about the same hour burly man of over medium height, with long, black hair, d rested in a dingo/ al ft oca cost, dn ik iron.sera aud a straw hat, carefully shut the door or a house in West Fifty fourth street, aud nervously strode along tbe street towards tho Elevated railroad staiiou. This was Mr. Sheehan. About an hour latter, iu the neighborhood of o'clock, a party of six crossed over tho East rlv*. ferry at Thirty-frouth street. Two of them were tbe meu mentioned,two of them were surgeon*. Of the other two. one was Fred .Stent, a good looking young nun with a d ooping, fair mustache, the otner a slim, light-haired westerner, who was Amasa Chase. Arrived at Long IiUnd City, six return tickets wero bougnt for F*r Rockaway, and tbe party en tered the same car, f J * amicable conversation. boat was chartered, and In this they rowed to a saudy bank, too small to bo thought worthy of the name of bland. About ih« middle ol tbe bank Mr. titeut halted, and dropping a handkerchief, walked off from It twenty paces lu a face of the samo. He iheu unpacked ** — found to contain an old fashioni e paid ied to Jt Wesson forty-two caliber revolver, loaded in four chambers only. Mr. Kuox was placed atone eutl of the twenty paces aud Mr. Sheehan at the oth'-r, and perilously close the dlstauce seemed to In) out there iu the opeu space. They faced each other, and wero told to fire on the word “fire" be ing given by Mr. Stout. ARE YOU RSADY. A paure followed. Stent said fa a low but dis tinct voice: "Gentlemen, are you readyT’ pauso. “Fire!" The two right arms were varied to a horizontal position, two distinct reports were heard, aud two halls went whizzing about lea yards on each side of tbe respective marksmen. Mr. Kuox called Chase to him, and said he was perfectly satisfied aud «<l*led: “Chase, for God’s sake, finhh the thing up." Mr Sheehan, however, on being appealed to, de dared that he had not taken such an uncomiorta ble journey tor nothing. “I’ve come down to shoot some one," said he. “and 1 won’t be satisfied until I have done so." There was no help for it. The seconds placed tho men in position again, and the word was one* more given. 1 he two reports rang out again, and this time Knox dropped his .

That section has to be irrigated, and hence is not as fertile os other sections.” "Have you heard the question of preside* tial candidates discussed in the stale?” "Not generally. We have no olection in the state this fall; consequently politics are not much discussed. Still, I have heard the names of several distinguished gentlemen mentioned favorably. Mr. Hendricks 1ms some supporters in Texas, especially amohg those who have come from Indiana. Mr. Hewitt is also spoken of. But of ail the can didalcs, Senator Bayard is most proud nently mentioned, and his friends are most pronounced in their expressions. Mr. Bayard is a mun of good abilities, a states man, and having passed beyond the period of youthful fancies, would act in a wise manner, eudeavoring to benefit tho whole country. At the hist national convention the Texas delegation was divided between (ieneral Han cock and Senator Bayard. If Mr. Bayard had shown a majority on tbe first vote, Texas would have given him her vote.” Would Mr. Tilden’s nomination be re ceived with favor?" "Really, I cannot say. From timo to time we read about prospects of his nomination in the New York papers but so far I have not heard his name spoken in my state.” "What poaition does the democracy occupy on tbe tanff questionf' "The democrats of Texas stand by tbe plat form of the Cincinnati convention on that i&ue. We are in favor of a tariff for revenue only. As we lo^k on tbe matter, there ore many millions of dollars in excess of the needs ot economical administration tbat might be saved to the people and thus benefit all classes. The democrats wish to lay equal bur dens on all classes, and thus protect the labor and tbe industries of the couutry.” TUB DEMOCKATX OF IOWA IIOFSFUL New York, July 2.—The Hon. J. H. Mur- >hy, member to congress from the second owa district, conversing to day on the out look in his state for the fail election, said he believed tbe democrats bad a very strong pros pect of success. “This conviction,” he went on to say. "is not coufined exclusively to one partv. 1 find it shored by democrats and re publicans alike. By reason of this facta large number of tbe liberal republicans, who have hitherto acted with that party, will refuse longer to support it and will vote the democratic ticket this fall. They have long desired to break away, and this furnishes them with a plausible excuse to enter the democratic ranks before the cam- >aign of 1884. Again, a great number of the iberals are not well pleased with tbe conduct of the majority of their party, and their dis pleasure is so intensified with the party’s ac tion on the prohibition question that they will vote the democratic ticket this fall. Again, I have observed all over the state that most of the new voters, the voung men, are coming over to the democratic ranks.” "Then in your opinion these elements will serve to overcome the large republican roa- jority of Iowa this fall?” "1 think that all these elements combined will give tbe state to the democratic party this fall. I believe tbat tbe chances are favorable for tbe democrats, not withstanding tbe large republican majorities of the past. If the democrats are successful at all they will elect their eutire ticket, including the governor, and will also elect a majority in the legisla ture, which will be called upon to elect a United States senator. Thus Iowa will pass from tbe control of tbe repuolicans to tbat of tbe democrats for tbe first time in twenty-eight yean.” “What is tbe position of your party on tbe tariff question T r "The democratic party ot Iowa in the ab* •tract are free-traders because our people are an agricultural people. We are not un mindful of the fact that a revenue baa to be obtained from some source, and tbat a greater portion can only be raised by import duties. We would be willing to so regulate these duties that the manufacturing interests of the country ahem Id be protected as far as possible. Speaking for myself, I would in tbe adjustment of the tariff place all duties on three classes—-the necessaries, the con veniences and the luxuries of life, I would commence to raise the revenue by a heavy tux on luxuries, and if the amount thus obtained was not sufficiently large I would tliert tax the conveniences with the hope that the necessa ries of life tbat the poorer class of people have to use would escape the burden.” "Who is looked upon as the most desirable candidate for the nomination of 1884?” * ", knows what an hour may bring forth. This fall’s election will determine, in my judgment, the presidential candidate. I can say this, however, that if the democratic convention was to be held this summer Iowa would support Mr. McDonald, of Idniana. He would be my choice, with the Hon. Ros well 1*. Flower as vice-preFblent. This would be pretty certain to give us two great states— Indiana and New York. This ticket, too, would represent the brains and wealth of the country. ^ .A BOLT 11IRRATBNKD. DrncQUB, la., June 29 —Many of the repub Iicaii8 of this city are far from being pleased with the action of the state convention, and declare that they will bolt the ticket. One of the delegates remarked that it was not a republican convention, but a Methodist con ference. The Germans will go back on the ticket almost en masse, and many Americau republicans declare the same intention, » ., „ THE BATTLE OF 1884. From tbe New York World. The battle of 1884 was really lost to the democracy in 1870 In 1870 there was a breach In the demo cratic party which tho leaden made do efforts to heal. A largo minority of the party obsti nately refused to support Lucius Robinson for governor, but was ready to support any other democrat out of the 500,000 or raoro in the state. Tho majority set its fato like ada mant against concession and conciliation. Tho minority bolted, nominated John Kelly for governor, drew 70,000 votes from the dem ocrat ic ticket and elected the republican can didate. • T The Influence and effect of (his defeat stretched out Into tho election of 1880. But for tho badjdood, the breach and the over throw of 1870 the democrats would have car ried New York in 1880 as surely as they did in 1874,1870 and 1882. The electoral vote of the state would have bepn given to Hancock, and he, instead of Garfield, would have been president of the United States. This is the year preceding the presidential election of 1884, as 1879 was the year prece* ■linn the laat prrnidential election. The re publicans uro now divided, while the democrat are united. Taut year the republi can candidate (or governor waa defeated and the democratic governor elected hy the large majority of nearly 200,000 votes, ft is incon ceivable that the democrats of Now York, in the light of the experience of 1870, will, through Jocai quarrels, precipitate a divi.ion tills year and risk tho loss of the etato in tho presidential contest next year. Tiie battle of 1880 was really lost In 1870. The democracy will make tiie buttle of 1888 the forerunner of tho victory ef 1884, A MOTHhH’s WISH. NEWS OF GEORGIA. WHAT THE PEOPLE ARB 8AYINO AND DOING.
