THE PROCLAIMED LEA.UE. The Government's Action Loudly Denounced. Louoix, August 2:.-A meeting to de nounce the government's course was held in the rotunda this evening. An immense crowd was present and great enthusiasm was manifested. The Lord Mayor rre sided. There were also two overilow meet ings, at which Edmund Leamy and T. P. Gill, M. P., presided. There were present several English and Scotch members of Parliament. including Jacob Bright, Cobb. Sutherland: Fenwick and Haldane. The building was full an hour before the meet ing was opened. Many persons got in through the windows. Prof. Galbraith, Protestant, moved the resolution denounc ing the edict against the League. which was unanimously carried. Lord Hartington did not know that the governmentintended to proclaim the Lengoe until after the decision had been reached. As soon as he learned of the government's intention he sent a strong remonstrance to Lord Salisbury. Lord Hartington believes the.proclamation ill advised and unneces sary. lathe House of Commons this evening, Robertson, Liberal member for Dundee. referring to the proclamation of the Irish National League. said he had examined the returns upon which the proelamettion was issued and he failed to find any mention (.f the League. He asked if the govermen! would submit evidence ipon which the House would be enabled t: discharge ,:s duty under the statute. ani decide whether the proclamation dec'aring the League dangerous on specified ground of criminal ity should be confirmed. .Mr. Smith, government lender, said that it was not the government's intentional - papers. [Parnellite cries of "Oh, oh," and ministerial cheers.] LoxDoor, August 24.-The Meus this -morning says the meeting at the Rotunda inDbnlast night mat-ks on epoch in the history of England and Ireland. The at *tendance of English members of Parliament is emphatic testimony that a real union has at length been achieved by the most illus trious of English statesmen. DIssatIstled Emigram~. Yesterday afternoon a Corautu tion re porter met a group of colored men,. women and children near the car-shed. They con stituite a part of a gang of emigrants that left Fairfield and Laurens counties, S. C.. *about eight months since, to try their luck in Arkansa. Alex. Darby and John Lykes, the leaders of tne party, talked -freely about their experience.' Said Darby: "We went West with the idea that we would better our condition. I was prom ised two dollars a day to do railroad work. When I got to Little Rock 1 found that I would get ornly one dollar a day. I soon found that things were much higher in Ar kanas than in South Carolina. and the folks much meaner. The immigrant agent that made such brash promises to us didn't keep his promises. We found that the sit uation was gloomier than tae one we left behind us, and 1 got some of my old friends together and induced them to re turn to their home in old South Carolina." Darby went on to tell about the hardships to which his party had been subjected, and told about a disease which had decimated their ranks. He is heartily sick of the West, and declares that for the remainder of his life he will be satisfied to dwell in South Carolina, where he was born and raised. Many others who went to Arkansas are anxious to get back, Darby says, but they haven't the means. He believes that the exodus of negroes Westward will not again assume large proportions.-..:1tat Ccnstitution, 23d. A Meican Orage.

V*IBRGN[.' REPU~BLICANS Ismue au Address to the People of the state. Ph :-rF:nasm-m. VA., Aug'ust :2.-The ai r - of the Repulian State Committee o Vir;t::i:, to tl people of the State is mad pblic toda. It is intend'd as a couiter bhut, a in-te Roanoke platform, whic t calls "in re:1itv a series of apologies f( broken pldes.. It says that it ha, no been the Custom of the Republican part, to : mble in StateConventiou at otheL times than when necessary to nominUiiate StLt ticket or send delegates to a Nationa onvention. This party has no account C :;y , -wardship to render, since fvr fou ve-., it has had no control over the :tnn it-tion of State dffairs. Meanwhile l pubi' au principles have not changed sinc1 tv were formally announced by the Stat Convention in 185. T I pinciples of the Virginia Republi ca * %j the same as these o, the Nationo 1 Ii.ian party. II:ving neither don i, mitted anything in the discharge o a.1tty of trust which needs expl-watio: or'igy, the reasons necessitating th Rano% Ce onvention do not exist as to 1h a cn arty of this State. Neverthi ,the commIittee resolved to present thi a seing forth certain leading fact f p .'t:cal history, contradicting the Stai ints ,f tie Roanoke platform. and as Virginians to ponder them well before the; agal: execis- the rigibt of suitra;.. te deals with statements of that platfort in ti.e odcr in which they are made. Th Re:. a 'ke indorsemient of Cleveland's a' mitiration it holds to be insincere and it consistent with demands for a repeal of th internal revenue system, and the passage the Blair education bill because the oppt si:io of Mr. Cleveland to the first, and Ii lack of indorsement of the second ar known of ali men, and further, the Roi oke uterances upon these -ubjects are i opp )' n to the general policy of th Dentoer ic party. On the other ilan this aodess declares that the Republica piry is niow practically united in favor < he repeal of the tax on tobaco nd fr disi-ilations: and that if restored to p.orwc t 1i re-uiove the burden which these de e products have so lorg endured: to. triff platform of the ioanoke col von it is ibehi to be ait variance with th ret;.rd of tile National Democratic party It *n- erses the national platform of ti avr :. its recommnendoation, of its Presider and'the propositions of its controlling fa< tions in Congress. The Roanoke p~atfort deebres in tavor of rev enue derived frot tariff on imports ad in favor of the repe: of --hn internal revenue system, while th recrd of the Democratic party of thi coun:try, consistently and unwaveri ngly shows that the reverse is Democratic do< truwia. In re::ard to the State debt the addres says that all that has ever been done toward its settlement, that has been of pr.actier valie, was done w.hile the Repuiblicanscoi troled the Statec. and all efforts of the D~el oracy since they have been in power hav tended to unsettle and undo what was at coplihed by the Republicans, and th reslt is that the finances of the State ar in a hopeless muddle. It also charges th Democracy with extravagance and mit management in the administration of get eral atiairs. It throws cold water upon th suggestion of federal aid in the debt settl< met. As to the promised aid for disable soldiers and their widows, it say.s the R< putlican party will cheerfully unitei ever'. such effort in the future, as it hasi the past, but it warns the people of Virgini that if the party now in power is allowe to remain in control its incompetency an misnanagement will leave no revenue be appropriated for the relief of soldiet and their widows. Touching the denunciation of the surplu in the Treasury, the people of Virginia at reminded that an aecum'ulation of this sui plus was the leading count in the Demo< racv s indictment of thec Republicans in th canpaign of 1884, and some further apoit gis and explanations, it says, will doubi less be called for from the Demtocrati leaders as to why this surplus is so muc: arer now under a Democratic adm'inistrn tion than it was three years ago. A .m castic cnumeration is made of the blessing enjoved tinder Democratic rule. Refe! ence'is made to tihe resul~ts of last year Congressional elections and to the recer Kentunky election, and the address close as foillows: b hs vdue ft "Undismayed -b hs vdne ft populrity of Democratic rule, and trust ing that we may be forgiven if we distur the ha;ppiness of a class of persons knowa to u- wh~1o are in the enjoyment of thet bles-:..:--to wit, the the Democratie otlice hnrb-we respectfully submit this ad Cr".:n the people of Virginia, in the hop .

Their in fantry drove him back, and as lie re turned in the darkness his own soldierS began firing at their commander, of course mistaking his party for the enemy. Jackson was shot in the handl and wrist and in the nppxr arm at the same time. His horse turned and the General lost his hold of the )rial ren; his cap was brushed from his head oy the branches; he reeled and was caught in the arms of an oflicer. After a mo ment he was assisted to dismount. his wound was examined and a litter was brought. Just then the Union artillery opened again, and a murderous fire came down upon the party through the woods and the darkness. One of the litter bearers stumbled and fell, and the others were frightened: they laid the litter down on the ground, the furiou1s storm of shot and shell sweeping over them like hail. Jackson attempted to rise, but his aide-de-camp held him down till the tempest of fire was lulled. Tbn the wounded General was helped to rise, and Valked a few steps in the forest; but he became faint, and was laid again on the litter. Once he rolled to the ground, when an assistant was shot, and the litter fell. Just then General Pender, one of his subordinates, passed. He stopped and said: "I hope you are not seriously hurt, General. I fear I shall have to retire my troops, they are so much brokeik" But Jackson looked up at once and exclaimed: "You must hold your ground, General Pender; you must hold your ground, sir!" This was the last order he ever gave. He was borne some distance to the near est house and examined by the surgeon; and after midnight his left arm was am putated at the shoulder. When Lee was told that his most trasted lieutenant had been wounded, he was greatly distressed, for the relations between them were almost tender. "Jackson has lost his left arm," said Lee, "but I have lost my right arm." CONGO PIG3IES. The Cunning Liliputians Living in the - Heart of Africa. (From the San Francisco Examiner.) Ronzo de Leo, who traveled =.any years in Africa with Dr. Living-tone, was one who almost stood out alone in the assertion that a race of dwarfs lived in Central Africa. In his lectures in America he told of a little people who fled to the clefts of the rocks when the explorers approached. C. Eugene Wolff, who traveled many years with Stanley, and who is now in the city, gives some queer accounts of these dwarfs. "On the southern branches of the Congo," said he to an Examiner reporter, "I have seen whole villages of these Lilipu tians. They are a generous little people who live in rude huts and clear ground, engaging in varied sorts of agriculture. They are also skilled hunters and they make palm wine. They are as lithe and supple in climbing trees as monkeys or baboons, although they are physically as perfect men as any of the giant tribes thereabout, and they know as much. The men are not over four feet and a half high, while the women are a good deal smaller. These tiny little men are both brave and cunning. They are ex perts with the bow and arrow, and readily bring down the African bison, antelope and even elephants with them. As trappers of small animals they arc uin surpassed. In a close pinch they use the lance with astonishing dexterity, and an ordinary sling in their hands is wielded with wonderful skill. The dwarfs col lect the sap of the palm, with which they make soap. The men are smooth faced and of a rich mahogany color, while the hair is short, kinky and as black as night. Tens of thousands of them live on the south branch of the Congo. They are an affable, kind hearted people, of simple ways and de void of vicious tendencies to a greater degree than most semi-barbaric races. The women are industrious and amiable. Very queer those people look alongside the great swarthy blacks further up on the Congo. The latter are o f prodigious size, uncouth, rude to the remotest de gree and cannibalistically inclined. The dwarfs stand in awe of them, but are so brave and cunning that, with all the odds of physique against them, the pig mies are masters of the situation." A Noted Blockade Merchant. Charles K. Prioleau has just died in England, aged sixty-one years. Prioleau was a resident partner in Liverpool of the firm of Frazer, Trernholm & Co., who were largely interested in blockade ran ning the during war of rebellion and was known as the friend of the Confederacy. Early in the war he fitted out a steam ship and loaded it with one Whitworthi riflod gun, two Blakely rifled guns, the largest piece of ordnance in the world at that time, and a lot of Entield rities and ammunition and presented them to the Confederate government. The steamer was known as the Sumter, and ran through the blockading ileet into the port of Wilmington, N. C., in broad daylight and landed her stores. The Whitworth gun was used in the carlyv battles of Virginia and did great execu tion, its range being greater than any guns in the United States. The Blakely guns were mounted in the city of Charleston during the siege, but never fired a shot at the besiegers. They were, blown up at the evacuation. The Enfleld rifles sent by him were the first ever used by the Confederates. Priolean was~ also on board the yacht Deerhound duir ing the fight between the Alabama and Kearsarge, off Cherbourg, and which rescued the Alabama's crew after the sinking of the vessel-New York Sun.

A NA MELESS CASE. MIv case has been a very curious one for DboUt thir-tC-n years. At interals of about Une week I would beattacked with spells of severe and most excruciating pain, always commencing in the region of my kidneys. The pain would then go upwards and aifeCt my body and head, and seemed to penetrate my very eye balls, creatirg the most intense suffering, lasting about eight hours each spell. I resorted to all kinds of mediciuc ithout benefit. Several doctois treated my case, but none gave relief. I finally used B. B. B. as an experiment, and tc my utter astonishment all pain and suf fering vanished after using three doses. To the present time I have used three bottles, and not a pain has ever return ed. I do not know what was the matter, neither could my physician name the complaint. The B. B. B. acted finely and powerfully upon my kidneys; ray appetite has been splendid and my con stitution built up rapidly. R. THoMAs, Constitution, Ga., May 6, 186. Unimpeached Integrity. I am 55.
