Prince, of Massaohuset temporary Seoretary of the Oonventic Nearly all the delegations are full. O < 600 have registered. The theme to d is, a straight nomination or simply < dorsement. The interior of the Opera Hon where the Convention will meet, 1 been decorated in a handsome mann The circles have been beautifully f tooned with flags and evergreens, wk suspended between the gaily painted < lumns, whioh support the galleries, i the coats of arms of each State. On I private box facing the East is placee fine portrait of General Washington; the box facing the Weat is the porti of General Jackson; over this box is portrait of Van Buren, and on the op site side that of Henry Clay. The sti has boon divested of its eoenery, t will be enolosed on the two sides i rear with a woodland soene, whioh so facetious persons deolare is intended represent the forests of Cbappaqua. will be necessary to use the dome Hg and reflectors, in order to throw si oient light upon the body of the bot and the ohandoliers under the baloi circle will also be used, as well as gas jets over the stage. With that m artificial light, and aided by the fr windows, it is supposed there will bc trouble on this score; while the mell iog effect of combined sun-light and j light, mingled with the rich hoes of the trimming, will have a beautiful effect. A scenic representation in keeping with the oharaoter of Mr. Greeley bas been prepared, and will be presented to the Convention as soon as the endorso ment of .Mr. Greeley has been mode by the Convention. In the lobbies cf the Opera Honse w'll be a great profusion of potted plants and flowers, and small cypress trees, and a large number of valuable oil paintings. The grand tri? umphal arch in front of the Opera House is almost completed, and will be a counterpart of the triumphal arob, onoe the pride of Paris. It will be lavishly adorned with flags and ever? greens, and have upon, its face the famous words of McMahon. "Every mountain has sent forth its rill and every valley its stream, and lol the avalanche is here." On the East and West side of the arch will be the words "Democratic National Convention, 1872." Over the main entrance of the theatre, nearest Eutaw street, is the Democratic legend the words of General Jackson: "The Constitution is still the object of our re? verence; the bond of our Union; our de? fence in danger; the source of our pros? perity in peace." Over the entrance nearest Howard street is the following motto, from Thomas Jefferson: "The whole art of government cor lists in the art of being honest." The other mottoes op the front of the building, above the first story, are four quotations from Washington's farewell address: "I have already intimated to you the dangers of parties in the State founded on geographical discriminations; let me now warn you against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally." "The spirit of encroaobment tends to consolidate the powers of all the depart? ments in one. sud thus create, under whatever form of government, a real despotism." "Likewise avoid the neces? sity of those over grown military estab? lishments, which, under any form of go? vernment, are to be regarded as particu? larly hostde to Republican liberty." "That your union and brotherly affection may be perpetual; that the free Consti? tution, which is the work of your hands, may be sacredly main ted; thut its admi? nistration in every department may be Btamped with wisdom and virtue." There was a meeting of bolters at the Maryland Institute to-day. About 2UU were present, a majority of whom were spectators. There vere about twenty five Simon pures, who will not support Greeley, if nominated. Joseph H. Flan? ders presided. Among those present were Blanton Duncan, of Kentucky; Joseph Sidles and William White, of Illinois; Henry Sherwood, of Connecti? cut, and William Heed, of Virginia. The bolt is a failure. , NEW YORK, July 8-Evening.-Wm. Cullent Bryant prints a card stating it is impossible for him to receive any formal nomination for the Presidency; and if offered, equally impossible for him to commit the folly of accepting. The representatives of $2,000,000 ia North and South Carolina bonds met to-day. They adopted a preamble stat? ing that they were defrauded of the ac? crued interest by dishonest politicians, and resolved to co-operate with the State authorities in the prosecution of the rob? bers of the Treasury. Judge Willard was spokesman. Stokes made a statement, giving bis version of the tragedy, as follows: I went up by the ladies' entrance, and when I got up, I saw a lady come out of the parlor. She turned away ber head, and I Baw I was mistaken, and I started to go down stairs, when I saw Fisk com? ing up stairs. He made a rnsh, and when he got to the platform, he pulled oat his pistol. I could not by any pos? sibility be mistaken. I saw it as plain as anything I ever saw. It was a silver mounted pistol. I was in a line with him then, so I jumped aside, and said, "Don't fire," and pulled out my own pistol and fired. I had it in my oat-side coat pocket, or I wouldn't have had time enongh to draw. I leaned on the rail, and oooked with one hand and fired. He held his pistol in both hands, and as I fired, he cried. "Oh!" He didn't stagger much at the first shot, and E fired again. I knew he would shoot me if I didn't fire. It was three or fonr steps down. He dropped his pistol on the stairs after the second shot There ?van no one near at the time. I had re? ceived numerous warnings that Fisk threatened to have my life. Question-Did you intend to hit Fisk when yon fired? Answer-Yes, sir. Question-And knew your pistol was loaded with four balls? Answer-Yes, sir. Miss Mansfield was also on the stand. She gives a curions story. Fisk was a rery moderate drinker. He called at her house, and said unless Bbe returned to aim, he would kill Stokes. Fisk said, "Yon had better release me from this ihing." Mansfield said, "Yes, if you some ont pnblioly and acknowledge I gras right, and the affidavits against me ?vere frauds." Fisk said there were so nany people involved, he coald not. Mansfield said, "Then I wont withdraw.'' Fisk, taking oat his revolver, said, "Then I will kill Stokes." I told Stokes, tad advised him to be careful. Sinoe tbe Laura Fair trial began, foar perjons connected with it have died Clisha Cooke, the prisoner's counsel; Henry Byrne, her prosecutor; Judge Spragae, who granted her a new trial, tnd yoong Crittenden, son of tho man mo shot, a witness against her.

ITALIAN FREEDOM.-The Italian Go? vernment illustrates the new doctrine of a "free cburoh in a free State," in this way: Tho new law of civil marriage makes any religious ceremony unneces? sary. But as so many oontinao to get married by the priests, the Government bas now proposed a bill to fine any priest 500 francs who ventures to perform the religious ceremony for any couple that have not already first been married by the magistrate. Civil marriage shall be sufficient before the law, but there shall be no religions marriage without the oivil ceremony. In other words, God's ordinance is null and void, and religious marriage is no marriage. How would we liku that in America? Shall we ever, as a nation, go beyond the point of ignor? ing all religion, and come to deny it? What does Signor Gavazzi, tho Italian mountebank, Radical adventine, say to this? or, his "friend" Garibaldi, the atheist and hater of Southern "rebels?" The Raleigh Sentinel says: Governor Caldwell has pardoned out of tho peni? tentiary the notorious and infamous John Everett, of Halifax. Everett for years before his incarceration boro a vile character in his section, and when sen? tenced to the penitentiary all good citi? zens rejoiced. He it was that incited tho late revolt in the penitentiary, which resulted in tho death of ono of tho uegro convicts and dangerously wounding an? other. Everett, it ia said, exerts quite a largo influer.ee with the worst portion of the negroes of Halifax, and hence it is that our model Governor, Tod lt. Cald? well, pardons him to put hint at work be? fore the election. Mr. W. J. Magrath, (a son of the Hon. A. G. Magrath,) and Mr. W. P. Bushell, of South Carolina, graduated a the Virginia Military Institute, at Lex? ington, on the 4th of July. Mr. Robert A. Mayo, an old an highly-esteemed oitizen of Richmond, breathed his last on the night of Thurs day, July 4. A SAD GASE.-OU tho 26th ult., we noted that a Texan foll, on Alabama street, in what appeared to be a catalep? tic fit. He had just arrived from Chat? tanooga. Subsequently he was taken care of by Mr. W. R. Elder, of Fair? burn. That gentleman, in a letter (not delivered) to Judge Pittman, of tim oity, last Wednesday, says that the un? fortunate man is acquainted with bis re? latives in Texas, and he believes bim to be altogether worthy of sympathy and assistance. Upon arriving here, on the 3d inst., he was prostrated on tbe corner of Mari? etta and Broad streets witb a violent con? vulsion, blood flowing profusely from bis I month. Drs. Johnson and White came' promptly to. his assistance. His first in? telligent act was to 'communicate to Dr. White the fact that he was a Mason, and confided to him and this reporter certain pupers about his person. From tueso it appears that his name is Joseph Simms, a native of Giles Oouuty, Tennessee. At the breaking out of the late war his! family lived in Texas, and ho enlisted in tho regiment of Col. John B. Hood, who once "charged" about Atlanta. He was subsequently in Stonewall Jackson's bri? gade, and then under Longstreet. Three duys before the full of Peters? burg he was wounded in seven places at one charge-in the head, chin, cheek, arm, hand, leg and groin, and from side to side through the luugs. The wounds are deeply marked. Being of very hardy constitution he survived, and until about a year ago has remaiued at a hospital in Richmond, Virginia. Patriotic friends ? then assisted him to Texas in search of bis family. But they were gone. In searching for them his money became exhausted and his health broken down. He boped to ti nd some of his relatives in Kentucky and Tennessee, and started thither on foot. He walked a large por? tion of the way from Rusk County, Texas, through these States. The Knox? ville Press and Republican, of the 22d ult., gives au account of his having had two fits in that city, aud of tho truly Christian aud Masonic attention which he received from citizens there. This paper says: "He bas been on the way about three months, and often suffered extreme wan'. He is, ns bi fore stated, a Mason and u profetsor of religion, and seems to bc quite williug to bo relieved from his1 earthly Bufferings, feeling assured that there is i\ 'rest prepared tor the weary;' but says that he would like to see his pareuts, brothers aud sisters once more before his final departure." Ouo of the papers isa "petition to the kind hearted along his route to renner bim whatever aid mid assistance lies in their power," signed by fourteen men whom wo eau vouch for as good citizens. Also a recommendation by Mayor John S. VanGilder to railroads, to help on the poor man in search of bis kindred-some of whom it is hoped he may find iu or about Newberry, South Caroliua. He had medical and friendly attention in this city, aud was sent on bis way by the Augusta train on Thursday night. His appearance alone is enough to elicit the sympathy and assistance of all pa? triotic and tender hearts. Muy he re? ceive more than a "pension" for huving been literally covered with wouuds in de? fence of Southern homes aud the honor of the South.-Allanta Sun. AN ALLEGED CASE OF ASIATIC CHOLERA. ,J A case of supposed Asiatic cholera was reported, yesterday, to Dr. E. H. Janes, uoting City Sanitary Inspector. A sailor was seized with cramps, in the boarding house No. 80, Montgomery street, and died after a short illness, the symptoms, it is alleged, being plainly those of Asiatic obolera. The body was nt once removed by the health authorities to a ! Baie place end the boase thoronghly dis? infected. Dr. Janes will thoroughly in? vestigate the case and make a post mortem examination of the body, in order to as? certain whether it is u case of Asiatic cholera or merely of aggravated obolera morbus.-New York Tribune, Sjt/t. WANTED, A RESTING PLACE.-Euglaud is not alone in her objection to receive deported Communists. Several States on the French frontier have expressed to the Governmeutof Versailles the same unwillingness to receive these obnoxious j exiles. It is to be hoped the French Communists will profit by the past. We believe this to be the only instance in which Great Britain has positively re? fused to allow refugees to lund on ber shores; a striking proof of the abhorrence in which the crimes committed by the Communists are held by right thiukiug people. It will bo same relief to un outraged public opinion to learn that crimiual charges have beeu preferred against the conductor and engineer of the railway train which ran into another ou the South-Side Railway on the Fourth. Furthermore, the railway company, knowing that the collision was tbe result A tho carelessness of their employees, have commenced settliug all reasonable claims without demur. Two of tho in? jured pasBougors have died. James Sanders, an escaped South Ca? roliua murderer, was arrested nt Stulia ville, Jefferson County, Ga., on Wednes? day lust. In May, 1871, according to I Iiis confession, Sanders murdered his Father-in-law and shot and wounded his wife und brother-in-law in Darlington, s.e. The Pennsylvania Rudioals are tryiug to prove that thu defeat of tho Radical ticket iu that Stato in October, will not! foreshadow the result iu November. It wou't do. Peunsylvauia will go against j thu Grant party iu October nnd again in November, and as goes Pennsylvania so goes the Union. Eli Chavis, couvicted of mulder iu the first degree, at tho last term of the criminal court, will bo hung in Barnwell ou the first Friday in August. A Kansas man was recently ignomini? ously bitten to death by a skunk. Tnn JEWISH CAUSE.-Seldom bas there been such a spontaneous outflow of uo8eotariaa charity aud trae Christ? ianity as was manifested in a recent meeting in London, to protest against the atrocities which have been inflicted apon the Jews of Hon mania and Bessara? bia. The first formal speech was made by Lord Shaftesbury, who represents the low Church party. He was followed by the Bishop of Gloucester, who speaks in the name of the moderately High Church. The Broad Church was rep? resented by letters from Dean Stanley :snd the Bishop of Peterborough, and Nou-comformity by Mr. Edwarf|Bainer, j Lord Shaftesbury, who expressed hie profound veneration and love for the Jewish people, declared that the out? rages wore a disgrace, not only to civili? zation but to Christianity. The Bishop of Gloucester was equally emphatic in his denunciation of the tortures imposed upon the suffering Jews. All the speak? ers demanded for tho Jews protection against tho risk of future outrages, and equality of civil rights. An influential j deputation was appointed to wait on Lord Granville and request that he will i employ all the influence of England in the cause. SEVERE ACCIDENT.-Jus. Bryan, Esq., an old citizen of oar city, was fearfully mangled at Mr. Samuel Rowland's fac? tory, on Thursday morning. While at? tending the plaining machine his left hand was canght in the machinery and torn to shreds. He exhibited a great deal of nerve in tho trying ordeal to which he was subjected, for while the arm and hand wet o only connected by a few ligature muscles, he asked a by? stander to cut them with a razor, which being done, he requested Mr. Howland to go to Haleigh and get a dootor to hi? 1 house by the time of bis arrival. He then rode into town, a distance of four miles. His arm was amputated by Dr. E. Burke Haywood, assisted by Dr. F. J. Haywood, Jr., and he is at this writ? ing doing well. Mr. Bryan is seventy years of age, and this exhibition of forti? tude on his part is remarkable. [Raleigh Sentinel. One Ethan A. Allen, of New York, wrote a letter to the Herald, a few days since, informing the publio that Col. Ethan Allen, Chairman of the Greeley and Brown National Executive Com? mittee, was no relation of his. He stated further that his father was a re? volutionary soldier, and that he himself was a grant man, for which he was proad, and regretted that any Ethan Allen should support Greeley. The Greeley Allen gives the Grant one a Roland for uu Oliver in a note terse and to the point, as follows: .'ASTOR HOUSE, N. Y., Juno 25. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: I nm no descendant of the late Colonel Ethan Allen of revolutionary fame, nor am 1 such an Egotistical Ass as my name? sake shows himself to be by his insulting letter of this morning. Respectfully, ETHAN ALLEN." SOLON JOHNSON AGAIN.-Solon John? son, the colored conservative of Virginia, writes as follows in a letter to the Rich? mond Enquirer: "Oar country may be? come, by the election of Greeley and Brown, really, what it is now only in name, the United States of America. It cannot be done, in my opinion, under a continuance of the present administra? tion. I am sure I speak advisedly when I say that a large proportion of the co? lored men of Virginia take a similar view of the situation. They see in the new movement a promise of more kind? liness and less proscription; more oberi ty and less intolerance; more love ac 1 less hatred; more of the sun-shine of temporal prosperity, and less of the oold twilight of poverty's hard struggle." BRUTAL MURDER.-Last Tuesday, in the town of Monticello, Jasper County, Ga., Gilbert D. Greer shot dead, as we are informed, in cold blood and without provocation, Mr. Joseph A. Middle? brook. We cannot learn the reason why tbis brutal murder was committed, but we trust that Greer, who fled at once, will be arrested, and the case judiciously in? quired into. We notice that a reward of Si,OOO is offered for Greer, who is de? scribed us follows: Thitty years old, six feet high, sallow complexion, spare built, thin side whiskers. Greer was a brother-in-law of his victim. [Macon Enterprise. James Petigru, an employee of the Port Royal Railroad Company, lost his leg by a railroad accident while engaged in the transportation of cross-ties foo the company. The wounded man is ayoung North Carolinian-poor and without friends or relatives in Georgia, where the accident occurred. The Port Royal Railroad Company, or rather its officers, have determined to purchase an artificial leg for Mr. Petigru as soon as he is able to use one, and that a permanent situa? tion will bo giveu him-the duties of which will be suited to one in his condi? tion. This is a good deed, which de? serves the highest commendation. -^ . - The amount of small-pox in Baltimore is very considerable, and an exaggerated estimate puts it os high as 6,000 oases. The newspapers keep very quiet on tho subject, but admit that the whole com? munity is crowding aboat the vaccine physicians, and tbat, although there aro eighty public places for vaccination in the city, the practitioners have not enough time to answer the demands. By an order of the Superior Court of New Hanover County, N. C., the Wil? mington, Charlotte and Rutherford Rail? road has formerly passed into tho hands of recoivers. These ure Hon. H. G.

The Grant men are exceeds gly jul \ _ laut over the acceseion of ex-Governor Wise, of Virginia, and propose to put bim on their electoral ticket. A.t the first ratification meeting where Wise speaks, we suggest that Gov. Wise's new political associates strike np in fall cao roB that stiring hymn of the party, "OVl John Brown."
