WASHINGTON, June 12.-Tho Demo
oratio Conventions of Kansas and Iowa
indicate an overwhelming sentiment for
the Cincinnati platform and nominees.
The resolutions contain this'paragraph;
' 'But where lawless ambition, imbecility,
corruption and man-worship dominate
in a porty, the duty of all citizens, with?
out regard to previous politioal affilia?
tions, and forgetful of past and buried
differences, is to join their hands and
hearts in any effort to crush such party,
and drive its leaders from power." The
Iowa Convention instructed its delegatet
to act as a unit, and resolved that thc
principles enunciated by the late Cincin?
nati Convention, taken in consideration
with the letter ot Horace Greeley, ac
ospting the nomination of that Conven
tion, constitute a platform on which al
elements of opposition to the presenl
corrupt Federal Government can stand.
The English Government will ask foi
eight months' recess of the Ge nevi
Board of ' Arbitration. The Unitei
States will neither favor nor oppose tin
recess, unless England agrees to th
supplemental article. In case the reces
is denied, England'will not present he
case.

. A NOTABLE WILL CASE.-In the year
1841, Dr. Theo. B. Tal Imago, of this city,
died, and shortly afterward a lawyer,
named Philip Barrows, presented an in?
strument for probate, purporting to be
the last will and statement of Dr. Tall
mage, ezeoated in 1839, by whioh he
was appointed executor abd named as
residuary legatee in the case of the death
of the doctor's infant daughter before
reaching the age of twoaty-oae years.
The will also aoutaiaed a power to sell
the property ia his discretioa. Ia 1855,
finding the child was likely to attaia her
majority, Burrows, auder the power
givea him in the will, disposed cf all the
real estate and retired, with tho pro?
ceeds, to Italy, where he reoeotly died.
Meantime the daughter grew np to
womanhood and married Mr. James J.
Bolton, of this city, and ia 1862 suits
were commenced in the Superior Court
for the reoovery of the property, oa the
ground that the will was frauduleot aud
void, and that the purchase had beeu
made by parties ia collusion with' Bur?
rows. After a lapBe of ten years, one of
these cases, whioh is made a test case,
has at length reached trial before Justice
Barbour aud a jury, aod to-day the jury
retarned a verdict for plaintiff on all the
issues submitted. Tho property in?
volved, is said to exceed $500,000.

A THRILLING SCENE IS CONGRESS.
During proceedings of the House on the
3d a bill was passed for tho relief of a
woman aged seventy-one years, giving
her 88,000, the amount of seven years'
half pay due to her father, who served
as an officer coder Paul Jones ia the
Bonhomme Richard. Tweaty-fivo years
had beeu speat by her in prosecuting
the claim. She woe in the gallery when
the announcement of the passage of the
bill was made by the Speaker and waved
her handkerchief with an air of triumph.
Several members on the floor, noticing
this act, began to applaud, meanwhile
smiling at the woman as if to express
their gratification at the result. Other
members followed their example, and the
general clapping of hands and laughter
rang through the hall. The woman,
overcome by her .feelings, burst into
tears, and then fell opon her knees in
prayer. Many hearts were made glad
by ber suoceBS.
SWITZEKLAND AND FRANCE.-Both
during and since the war of 1870-'71, a
portion of the Swiss press were un?
wearying in their championship of the
French cause; for which they were occa?
sionally rewarded by a patronizing notice
in one of the Paris journals or a few
crumbs of eulogium falling from the
mouth of a French orator. This happy
state' of things, however, was not
destined to be perpetual. Switzerland
has sent in a "little bill" for the cost of
maintaining Bourbaki's army after it had
been obliged to cross the Swiss frontier;
and ino French papers, whioh evidently
thought they bad more than discharged
this small obligation by the laudatory
articles they published - at the time in
honor of a Swiss hospitality, are deeply
offended at a proceeding they regarded
as highly indelicate.
IN POSITION.-The two bronze tablets,
representing the heads in profile of Gen.
R. E. Lee and Gen. T. J. Jackson, have
been placed in their appropriate posi?
tions in the Confed?rate monument, in
Oakdale Cemetery, and add greatly to its
appearanoe. The representation of Gen.
Lee is on the West face of the monu?
ment, and that of Gen. Jaokson on the
reverse. It may bo said that they are
not very oorreot representations of those
two immortal heroes of the "lostoause,"
bat it should be uaderstood that ia cast?
ing figures of this description it is impos?
sible to get a correot likeness.
[Wilmington Star.
The Hon. E. F. Pillsbury, who has
been three times the nominee of the
Democrats of Maine for Governor of
that State, has written a letter to a mem?
ber of Congress urging him to ase what
influence he possessed to secare the rati?
fication of the Cincinnati nominations
by the Baltimore Convention. He says:
"The Demooraoy of Mai no are a uoit, so
far as I oau learn, in favor of the Liberal
tioket at Baltimore. If Greeley and
Brown are adopted at Baltimore harmo?
niously, we shall see a perfect storm of
enthusiasm, but if rejected, a storm of
indignation from our people and a gene?
ral collapse of the party."
Suppose the renomination organs en?
deavor to' make good, or oise retract,
their borrowed assertion that Mr. Gree?
ley once declared Gen. Grant a man who
never had been beaton, and never would
be. We have supposed Mr. Greeley not
addicted to propheoy, and if he ever as?
sorted that Gen. Grant "was never
beaten" he was mistaken, for he was
beaten ip his first battle-Belmont-and
if his bloody repulses at Coal Harbor
and the mine explosion beforo Peters?
burg were not defeats, we know not what
could be. . Gen. Grant was a successful
commander, but whoever says ho "was
never beaten" is in error. As to the fu?
ture, let.those indulge in propheoy who
find it profitable.- New York Herald.

LIME ON PEACH TREES.-Mr. Bailey,
of El Paso, 111., writes to the Western
Rural that the application of lime to
peach trees is a successful method of
treatment: "I saw recently an article on
lime being injuri?os to peach trees. I
will hero state an experiment tried by
myself on trees lost spring. In onr gar?
den there were six trees. They all
bloomed and looked well. The fruit set
nice, bat on some, leaves did not start.
I thought there was something wrong;
on examination the borer was there. I
trimmed off the bark, found the insect
as described in the paper; took air
slaoked lime and put it all around the
stem; thon put back the dirt. The
leaves came out and the peaches got
ripe. The trees looked well. Those
whore I didn't pat lime, died."

THE LAD OB MOVEMENT,-The serious?
ness of the labor troubles in New York
may be understood from the fact that
the eight-hour movement has spread
from ono trade to auothor, until the
hosts number many thousands who have
resolved to stop work uuless the hours
should be thus reduced. Rumors of
threats and violence had been rife, not
only towards laborers who refused to
participate in thu strikos, but, ia one in?
stance, against employers and capitalists.
One mau, who professes to speak for the
eight-hoUr strikers, aauouaoes ia the
columns of a oity paper that, rather thaa
give ia to the ten hours, "we would ha?
zard our lives and lay their (the employ?
ers') factories aad houses ia ashes." It
is not at all probable that this ferocious
individual represents the spirit of his
associates, aaa the Executive Committee
of the Eight-hour League repel all suoh
spirit and acts. The declared purpose
is by fair mains, in a general movement,
to briag such influence to bear upon le?
gislators as will induce them to consti?
tute eight hours the legal day's work in
thu State of New York, as it is now in
I the United States Qovernment mechani?
cal employments. There should be,
therefore, no need of the police of the
city of New York to repress disorder, ne
has been tho oase ia a few instances.
The contagion of strikes has exteadeel
to Philadelphia, whero the stokers have
risea agaiast those who control the gat
works of that city, and, according to thc
Philadelphia Press, have the sympathiei
of tho entire community. The strike
originated from un order charging tin
workmen for their tools-u straw whiot
apparently broke the camel's baok. Th?
stokers now not only demand an inoreaBt
of pay, but also a shortening of th?
hours of labor, both of whioh demand)
aro resisted. The chief engineer adver
tises for men, but does not appear t<
have been very successful in obtaining
them. The Press observes: "Wo ar
not disposed to follow the laboring peo
pie into any of their wild or unjust the
eries, but we insist that they shall hav
fair play, and particularly in the presen
euee. The demands of the strikers ii
tho gos works impress us as being reo
sonable. The imposition:! that the
have been subjeoted to have been brough
to light by the advent of darkness, an
chief among them is the levying of ar
mud assessments for political purposes.
Here, then, is tho hydra of politiot
corrnptiou making the trouble. Th
"levying of annual assessments" o
these men "for political purposes,":
certainly an interesting fact, and wool
seem suilioieut to warrant a strike
against the politicians, at least. Tt
city, as described by the Press oa Fride
night, must have presented an od
sight-meu carrying torahes in tl
streets to find their way and prote
themselves from assault, and the Pre
pertiaeatly asks "if there were a doze
murders, burglaries, high-way robberie
etc., in the city last night, who would 1
responsible?" It is to be regretted th
any necessity should seem to exist f
such movements. While no one cs
dispute that the laborer has the geaox
right to quit work when be pleases, pr
vided there is no specific](contract pi
eluding it, and that if labor don't lo?
out for itself no ono else will do so f
it, the community has rights will
ought to be respected, and its oonvei
euee, as illustrated ia the results of t
gas strike, regarded. Labor is right
seeking its own just advancement at :
times, but should move calmly ai
gradually in that direction. It shoe
assert itself with dignity, without viole
agencies and without menace to othe
The New York Nation contends that t
first and most marked effect of the gr<
strike of the workingmen will ba a :
tardation of the growth of the city, a
the argument is strengthened not 01
by the lessons of the past, but also
the present, as many capitalists will h
indefinitely in their operations. T
warfare between capital aad labor is c
whioh must end in a compromise, a
among the propositions ia this spirit
oae to amead tho present and the co
ing evils by an agreement betwoen I
employers and employed, that ali c
ohanioal labor shall be paid by pi?
wages. If, so far as the reduction
the hours of labor ia concerned, 1
time whioh is deduoted shall be appl
for moral and intellectual culture,
discharge of domestic duties, and to
society of the home circle, much ad
tional happiness may result to ope
tivos; but if it is not thus applied, it?
certainly be a waste to individuals
well as tho community at large. Ti
for rational development every mor tr
?entitled to, and certainly if all mau ki
who are able to labor, shall give ei
hours to industry daily, tho necest
world's work in all departments can
fully done. Bat it is not posible tc
duce things to this nico average. Tl
must bo the stimulus of competil
among men, and individual libert;
action, else there is no true liberty i

THE WISCONSIN MASSACRE,-Ka-ka
luska, aa Indian who ooniesses to haye?
been one of the murderers of the Gook
family near Oak Lake, Wisconsin, April
26, gives the following account of the
orime, borrowed from the St. Pani Press:
He said- he was one of fonr Indians
(he gives the names of the other three,
who are well known,) who went to Gook's
house on Friday night. He says they
committed the murder, while he re?
mained on the outside. As soon ss the
door was opened by Cook, one of the
Indians struck him on the head with an
axe and killed him; Mrs. Gook was near
at hand, who was instantly despatched
in the same manner; the baby, Blooping
in its crib, was next killed, by having its
head crushed by a blow from the same
axe. The remaining children-one of
seven and tile other nine years-were np
stoirB, where they were pursued by the
inhuman monsters, and, after being also
killed, were dragged down stairs, and
the whole ?ve mutilated corpses then
piled np in a heap on the lower floor.
Their demoniac work having thus been
accomplished, they ransacked the house,
and, after gathering up everything they
wanted, they set fire to the house, and
while the flames were, as they seemed to
think, obliterating ?il traces of the hor?
rid bntehory, tho fonr monsters sat down
in their glare, and commenced to divide
their booty. Ka-ka-luska Bays his share
of the plunder consisted of 100 rat skins,
Mrs. Cook's gold watch, chain and lock?
et, her black broad-cloth cloak, several
of her dresses, some of Mr. Gook's wear?
ing apparel, and various other articles
The marderers separated between 2 and
3 o'clook on Sunday morning, having
remained till the building was almosl
totally destroyed-the murder having
been committed about 8 o'clook, and thc
hou?o fired shortly after.

NAPOLEON ON BEDAN.-The following .
ie the letter recently written by the ex
Emperor Napoleon, explaining the sar?
render of Sedan :
GENKBAJ,: Holding myself, as I do,
responsible before the country for the
institutions of the Empire, I only re?
cognize judgments vt hieb, have been pro?
nounced by the people, regularly con?
sulted. It is not my duty to appreciate
the report of the commission of inquiry
on the capitulation of Sedan. I contine
myself to recalling to the principal wit?
nesses of that catastrophe the. critical
position in which, we found ourselves.
Tho army oommanded by the Duke of
Magenta had nobly performed its duty.
It had struggled heroically against an
enemy twice its number. When it was
forced back on the walls of the town,
sud oven into the town itself, it left
i i, OOO dead and wounded covering the
held, of battle on whioh I had witnessed
I the contest. The situation then became
desperate, but the honor of the army
was saved by the gallantry it had dis?
played. I exercised my right as sove?
reign in ordering the parliamentary flag
tobo raisod, and I am fahy prepared to
I bear the responsibility of that act. The
destruction of 60,000 more men would -
j not have saved France. The sublime
devotion of officers and soldiers would
have been uselessly sacrificed. We had
then to obey a cruel but inexorable ne?
cessity. It wounded my heart, bnt gave
me an easy conscience Be assured,
General, of "my sentiments.

THE DEATH OF MB. PETES BOWE, OF
OBANGEBUBG-REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.
Our Orangoburg correspondent writes
under date of Jone 10:
For many years the subject of this
notice has been seen as a visitor bf our
town, although his venerable form was
bent beyond the weight of four-score
years, and rumor has frequently oom
mitted him among the roll of the dead,
as he hovered on the verge of the grave,
under the attacks of the fell destroyer,
but so vigorous was bis energy and elas?
tic his constitution that he rallied and
stepped beyond the length of a century.
But his long life ia ended-102 years
have been bis portion. What a pageant
of shifting scones have gone before his
view. Communities have sprung np
and passed away, governments have been
established and been overthrown. He
saw this nation claim its placa among the
sisterhood of powers, as feeble colonies,
and he lived with it to its gigantic full?
ness of strongth. His remarkable acti?
vity permitted him, only a few months
since, to have his teeth examined and
treated by a dental surgeon; and hun?
dreds of his friends and kindred joined 1
him in celebrating his last birth-day,
when his usual hospitality and vigor waa
not abated. Mr. Rowe's connection
with the Masons ia perhaps the longest
in the State. He was buried to-day,
(the 10th,) at New Hope Church, near
Rowe's Pomp, where his many friends
followed him in sadness. .

A grand excursion to Columbia is pro?
jected for the Fourth of July, among a
number of the oolored people in this
city. A. Manltsby, W. H. Herrick and
Wm. Brooks are the managers, and it
will donbtless prove a very pleasant af
j fair. The train will leave Union Depot
at 9 o'clock, on the dd, and arrive at Ob- ,
lumbia on the morning of the ?th.
J Among the pleasures in projection at
Columbia is a bar boca o to be given to
the excursionists.- Wilmington Journal,
Josh Billings says: "Most men con?
cede that it looks foolish to see a boy
dragging a heavy sled np bill for the
'fleeting' pleasure of riding down again..
But it appears to me that boy is a sage
by the* side of that young man who
works hard all the week and drinks np
his wages Saturday night."
