Lkxixoton. ICy., September 18.?
Everything wns rpiict Inst night, the
nomination of Owens being conceded.
It was, however, n more exciting day
than any of the preceding week. When
the Owens men claimed the nomination
by a decisive majority Saturday night,
the Breckinridge men stood pat. Sunday
they worked harder than ever.
Yesterday it became known that their
representatives had been dispatehed
into the different parts of the district
to get all evidence with a view of contesting
the nomination before the democratic
congressional disiriet committee.
which meets at Frankfort next
Saturday, and which is the returning
board that makes the ollicial count and
declaration as to who is the nominee.
As this committee has done everything
111 if v. liAlt'oe for llrool/i?*riil??.? 5?% ft
... .v.. .V, ...rvnii?>.<K<, .?
a lute date for the primaries, adopting
the challenge rule, and everything else
he wanted, the Owens men were somewhat
alarmed yesterday on lindiug out
that Breckinhridge's agents were at
work with a view to presenting evidence
for a contest before this committee
on Saturday.
The Tide Turned.
It was announced th;* four members
of the district committee would make a
minority report Saturday and appeal
to the democrats. This meant that
Owens and Breckinridge would both he
candidates and tight to a finish in November.
Meantime the republicans
who hold their convention here September
Silth, began to regard their unnamed
nominee as the favorite and
there was much excitement. The tide
was turned in the afternoon when It.
J. Welsh, the committee-man from
Breckinridge's home and one of his
strongest supporters announced that
he would never vote to go behind the
returns when the committee met at
Frankfort. As this would leave the
couimttteo a tie, or five to five in any
event, and as other Breckinridge men
on the district committee who hud stood
by him to the last, were not disposed to
go behind the returns, the old guard of
the silver-tongued orator gave up the
struggle. They will not. however, concede
the plurality of f?:W. which the
Owens men claim tonight, from complete
returns.
Among Breckinridge's strongest
friends are the nominees here on the
county ticket, nnd they as well as other
county candidates, were not disposed
to ha /./.a rd their interests by ussisting
in throwing out any of the Owens preclouts
at Frankfort, next Saturday. It
is not likely that there will be any more
agitation.
Colonel Breckinridge will serve till
next March.

Xrw Oki.kans, September 1H.?The
sugar planters convention yesterday at
\Vnsliin|(toD artillery hall was a large
and very enthusiastic assemblage.
The hall, one of the most commodious
in the city, was crowded to the doors
while the session lasted, and there were
present not only the leading planters
of Louisiana, but sonu* of the most representative
men of New Orleans.
The bolters from the democracy had
everything? their own way and resistance
to tliy prof?rain was fully made.
The convent ion went over to tin- national
republieal party in a body. Mr. 13.
N. Pugli called the meeting to order
and Naval OtTieer Kernoslian was made
temporary chairman, and ex-Mayor
Iteluin permanent chairman of the organization
; all three of the gentlemen
having been heretofore prominet democrats.
There was considerable speech male
ing in which prominent li|?ures on the
lloor took part, and the walls of the
hall were ornamented with placards
bearing matters of republican doctrine.
A representative body was entrusted
with the resolutions, which were adopted
by an overwhelming? vote of the convention.
For I'rntertlon to American Imluntrle*.
The resolutions endorse the platform
of the recent meetinj? in this city. 13 xpressed
belief in the doctrines of protection
to alt American industries : declares
that their people had never asked
congress for a bounty, but that when
the bounty law was passed, it was regarded
as a pledj?e for fifteen years and
caused the mortgaging of plantations
and the expenditure of immense sums
of money in the purchase of modern
machinery, and in making elaborate
investments for the manufacture of sugar
: urj?e the organization of clubs,
committees, and conventions throughout
the state, with a view to electing
members of congress who will stand by
the republican partv in the orminiza
tion of the house, and finally declaring
that the causes which have led to the
investigation of this movement are of a
financial and industrial nature, and
that the character and standing of its
letter are of sufficient guarantee that
they will ever advocate good government
for the whole people of this state:
demand fair elections, an honest count,
and expect at the hands of Governor
Foster fair representation for the planter
on all hoards of registration and
election. The president is directed to
appoint a committee of thirty, not five,
with the full power of the convention
to he known as the state committee of
the national republican party.

CELEBRATING THEIR VICTORY.
FrlMi4i of Owoni K*l?ll>lt line Tlielr EnttuiiImki
by I'Mi-Miling (ho Slrrott.
Frankfort. Ky., September 18.?During
the night and far Into the early
honrn of Sunday the friends of W.
Owens here exhibited their enthusiasm
shooting off fireworks and parading1.
Main street was lined with old and
young, celebrating the victory.
Everywhere there was anxiety to
know the exact result, Breckinridge
men in some instances still hold out
that their man was a winner and tho
otlicial count will in their opinion so
declare. Noel Oaines, a prominent
llreokinridge lieutenant was asked last
night regarding the threats of contest,
und said:
"What is the use of a contest when
we have the race won ? 1 honestly believe
llreokir.ridge luis secured the nomination
by a safe, tut small majority."
An Owens man said last night that ho
thought such talk was a "bluff" and
showed clearly that llroekinridge was
dying hard. "Hut." he added, "if they
attempt to defraud our man out of the
result there will be blood spilled. The
election was too hard fought and won
to be stolen. The lirst sign of chicanery
means blood."
The people generally regard Owens
as the rightful nominee and should the
district committee, which has a majority
for lireekinridgc, declare their favorite
the nominee, a split is ecrtiyn.
The Owens elnh last night plaet ' a
guard at the county clerk's ofti< 't
Frankfort where the election re' s
are, to see that the lircekinridge men
made no attempt to defraud Owens out
of the nomination. There was much
excitement here last night. Spies have
been sent to Owen and Henry counties
where fraud is alleged and it is probable
the election will we contested. The
lireekinridgc people say they have reduced
the plura'itv of Owens to 1-H
votes. At the Owens headquarters his
followers were very uneasy, fearing
trouble in declaring their man tlienom
inee and threaten to throw their
strength to the republican candidate.

[ CRIMINALLY MISMANAGED.
tCxamluer Spier Makes a Report on the
Condition of the Cednrtown Rank.
Ati.anta. September 1-V?The First
' National bank of Cedartowu, Gn., failed
' more than a year ago and was plaeed
in a receiver's hands. Last Februa^r a
report was made on the condition of
the bank b.v >1. 1'. Spier, special examiner.
i'ntll yesterday the public, or
those Interested financially in the
' bank, had not learned the nature of
the report. Now it develops that the
special examiner reported that the
bank was criminally mismanarred. Th*?
> cashier, .1. O. Hnriiwick has Itccn indicted
in the state court of Cedartown,
but there lias not been any prosecution
either in the state or federal
I courts. Mr. Spier's report states that,
the Mard\\*Wks. who held a controlling1
i interest in the bank never paid in their
i subscription. They put In promisory
i notes for a part of their subscription to
the capital stock. For making alterations
in these promisory notes the cashier,
llardwick, is now under indictment.
Overdrafts exceeding three times the
, maximum countenanced by law, were
made but not properly entered. Stock
thai was transferred in August, ISfW,
I was entered as having been transferred
four months earlier. The direcr
tors wrote comptroller Kelt els asking
, hi in uot to change the first receiver,
[ stating that they feared a change
might not be to any benefit of the
stock holders. They never received a
reply but the receiver was removed
and a man was sent from Washington
, to take charge.
The special examiner charges that
the hanking operations were rather
loose.

Iti'kna Vista, Vn., September 18.* :
Thefollowingstatement has been give::
a correspondent by the Reverend !>'
I). Cobbs, colored, who, as an e::
shivc and freed man, has had a llfctin:
experience anions his race in the south:
"I was horn and brought up in slav
times, have lived iii the south since'tl. .
war, mixing largely among inyow.t
people, and am therefore in a positio \ >r
to emphatically deny the reports which
have been circulated abroad that tl.
south is a bad plaee for the negro t
live, or that he is denied his civil righ'
in this country.
"As for the white people of the south
there are no more liberal and kino.hearted
anywhere. Exceptions can la
found, of course, in all communities:
llllt tlli? l??nrlimr u-hltn **
- - ? n ,^v|?v ?i v.i
south want everybody t? <lo right
whether ho is white or black, and whe:
they see a man trying to do right they *
are ever ready to help him. When, on
the other hand, they know any one to
rnn with willing feet after evil, they
discountenance him, of course. The
south is my home and I do not want to
see her misrepresented.
"The question has been asked. 'Why
are negroes lynched in the south since
the war?* I reply that nearly every
case of such lynching was for brutal
outrage on the wives and daughters of
white people. The scoundrel who commits
such crimes deserves to die. 1 am
opposed to lynch la\w not that' 1 think
it cruel for such guil* vidians, but' because
it is opposed to civilization and
good government. Miss Ida Wells
ought to make these things known in
England, and tell why the lynching is
done in the south. * Let her make
known the dcvlisli cause.
"England knows little about the
southern negro, and probably cares less.
Not one word spoken there or in uUy
other foreign country will, help the
cause of the negro here; but if we go
to work, teach our people and pray to
(?od to make them what they ought to
be. lie will bless such labor, lie will
answer such prayer, and the lynching
of negroes in the south will bo no
more."
