A,4 soon as ( hairnan Thiuriman called the body to orier this inor.itg, .1. S Dougherty, of Texas, in a voice that could he heard to the roof, ilove:l that the roll of States be called for appoint. muent of a collittue to devise a plan and consider wais atlI nains for im pressing upon Congress tlie riiiii and peril now tireatening all our nat.ioml interests by the demonetiz- ion or sil ver. le claimed that the proceedigs of the convent ion were not beinig fully reported to the country, and the need existed for at ibommediate re4oliition. Several objections were made on teclinicil groutnis, and len. Warner, alillollietd I hat the coat mittee ont reso hittions %t oml nilly cover the stije,t. The subject, was Iropped, anl a dis patch of greeting front the Koiglits of Labor of St. Louis was read. It was Stated that 1,110 assInbly has adopted resolutions for the free anl unimite.i coinage of silver at a ratio of if; to 1. 'This was recoived with applaiuse. The committee on resolutions noi, being ready to report, speeches were it order to lilt tip the waiting Iimlle. Ex-Senlator 11111 of Colorado was ihe first speaker: )text camle 1epresentative iratcis Newlands of Nevi(lo, t'nite-l Siatus Senator Allen of Neiraska, and S. C., h'llowag of Colorado. A f'er Mr. 'THoim as had conlc uded, the con1ven-ition 1.00 < a recess until 2 o'clock. At that hoir Slie comlittee on resolitions present ed a long premile an4d rie-olittions, which were a(doptel with it slighit. amndciments. 'ITe preamible asst-rt s that I he law of 1823, which deiomralizoil silver, was originated by one Ernest. Seyl, a Lon don banker, who caine to the 1inited -Sta tes as the eiissary of I he moneyed classes of Eiurope for that. purpose. 'T'lie resolutions declare, first, that there inust be no coimpromise of this quies tion. All legislation demonetizing sil. ver and restricting the coinage there of m".-st be imnediately and comiplete ly repealed by an at, restoring the coinage of the country to the condi tions established by the soundness of the nation. and which continued for over eighty years, without complaint from any part. of our people. Every hour's delay in undoing the corrupt work of Ernest Seyd and our foreign entemies is an instilt tu the dignity of the. American people, a crushing bur don on their prosperity,and an attempt to place us again under the yoke from which George \Vashington and his companions resened its. We protest against the financial policy of the I1ni ted States being made upon the opin ion or policies of anty foreign govern ment., and assert time power of this nation to stamd on its own feet and ie-gislate for itself upon all sulbjects. Second, we assert that the only remedy for ovu metalic linancial Irouibles iri to open the mints of the nation to gold and silver oti equal terms, the oel ra iio of sixteeit ol silver to one of gold. Section 3. says the Sherman Act of Jily 14, 111.1), was the device of the ene'n y to prevent the restoration of ftree coinage, and we protest against its reeal except by an act. restoring f'ree bim ietalic cotin. Section 4 asserts that. tihe calamiltier which now aillict, the A mer'iicani peoph are not, d(lme to the Shermuan Act of 18t. arnd that mat,ters woulId be st.ill worst but for thme act. it insists uiponc thi fumll execut ion of that law in the mia,. ter of purchase of silver and t,he issuet of circulat.ing muediaiimet Th'le lift.h resoltt,in c ills auttenmtion yto the facet Itat, miatiotmai tu. k ad Ie gal t.ender emce mey of what.ev'er knuit hat rnot faileni la valute a patrticle, ati suig ge'sts jeor time cosidlertion ofi our Ie 1low ci tmzens t.hat.

C., July 28.--Columbia was greatly excited last night when itbe came rumored that Thompson, the Gas ton liend, had been run downl t,o the city by two of his pursuers. The report, quickly spread and soon the sheriff had or--anilzed a posse to assist in his caI.ure. The posse rendezvoused about Fisher's pond, where a negro answering to hompson's description had been seen. There appears to be little doubt that he was the riit man. His tmo pursuers had beei atter him night and day since Monday Iliht and once or twice the mwgro was alinost within their grasp, hut lhe eluded theii. When they saw huis tracks last Ili,-hIt in a (ield near the p1141 they imie(;ateIV said "that's hiii".- The tracks where fresh and thf search was pursuied with renewed vigor. Notwithstanliun a lar,e crowd) had col lected trom the city ill armed and ready fhr the fr tV, the ueiero aain got away. The search was c0nitite(I all night, gurdi'(1s Ieing tincketed at the various tres ties and brid,es and aloni, differmt roads. It was thoughlt that the negro was making his way to his homne about ei,hit.een iniles north ot this city, .n Lex Iigtol county. W hiie all this was taking place a tele tramii was received at the Governor's Ml.o 1i unllI that armed negroes were 4)m I'l. viy to Gaston to rescue llaindy, the alle*.l pariner o' Thomp noti, and atskiiig oir hielp. Tile Giover iwr beiw. iient t.he telegram was 111111e overt . eneral l'arle w:io sent a tele-,r im 10r de-finilte Iltormation. Is worse fears were confirmed and lie i(n Ilidiiately set aboutI, t.o send the Colum hi troiops dwii. Notwit,hstanLding the biten'i ol t.he lor Captaim Bateman had his cominiy ready by 2:30 o'clock anl !aer a call was mile ier the Volun ters anid 7 maves. Ii tLe meantime ('41el4- .10hn ( iarv Watt and George I. Kov.ste were sent as couries to 4as (oll :and1h Mr. Glass, of tihe South 11'm,1d, had orlerel out, a special train. The (ioverijor's (Matirds Went to the depot in unitori wit I their gunis and ammuni tiOn and i,a I inl readinesq, when a tele ,rrai was received Irom Colonel Watts sA;tin,g that there would he n1o necessity lor the trooti, as everyt,hiag was quiet. Abit ' :( o'clock this morning the tiart is were imarihed back to the'r ,Irr1V adi i-hismissed as were the other Comlpan'les. The way in whchl the Governor's GuaIrds responded to the call has called .h pesal raise. In an incredibly short Lime, about atll hour, in the dead of ltit, the memibers were notified, reached the arnorv and were ready to g). ''hley went. to the depot forty strong, only otiour miembers failing to re spond. EI-verv manl took upon himself to) witke til somne other and all responded lironptly. The boys were much dis uvinotited when they had to come back. A larize party was out all morning work iwg with inuch more system than las', nivhit to capture Thompson. A num. her t0' siiands are watchini-, different roadIs. railroads, bridges etc., and others are searthming swamps and roads.
