New 1Y>rk, July 12.—The
commmit.tee appointed by the
St. Louis Convention waited up
on Gov. Tilden this morning.
Gen. McClermaud addressed the
Governor outlining the work of
the convention. Hon* W. B.
Hanna also addressed Mr. Til-
den, pledging him the united
support of the Indiana Democ-
racy. Gov. Tilden replied, ac-
cepting the nomination, and said
he would soon transmit a formal
letter of acceptance, and that he
believed his nomination was not
a mere personal preference be-
tween citizens and statesmen,
but rather a declaration in favor
of an administration of reform,
with which events had associated
him. In the public mind, the
demand for reform in all govern-
ments, and chiefly ttie Federal
government, had led to a series
of surprises in popular assem-
blages, and perhaps in the con-
vention itself. What we have
ter day for onr country. The
Republic is yet to be renovated,
and is destined to live in all the
future.
Washington, July 12. - Ty -
ner has;!been confirmed Post-
Master-General. James T. Wil-
son, Secretary of the District of
Columbia, is a defaulter-for sev-
eral thousand dollars, and has
disappeared. The House re-
committed the bill opening the
Black Hills to settlement. The
river and harbor bill, as report-
ed to the Senate, reduces appro-
priations for the Southern States
about 25 per cent., and for other
States about 12 per cent. It
adds for new improvements
$22,200 for Xortheru States, and
$25,500 for Southern States.
Jefferson City, Mo., July
12.—Gov. Hardin has offered a
reward of^$300each forthearest
of the highwaymen who attack-
ed the train ou the Pacific- road,
and robbed the express car,
the reward to be paid upon con-
viction of the robbers of the
crime charged.
Savanah, July 12.—-Dr. Rich-
ard D. Arnald, a leading physi-
cian and prominent citizen died
this morning, aged GS years.
New Orleans, July 12.—
Frank Ziegler who was shot in
the back in his beer saloon, 143
Gravier street, July 4th, by Pe-
ter Coyle a screw man, died to-
day. This is regarded as one of
the most cowardly murders ever
committed. Coyde being a very
powerful man and the aggres-
sor.
Baltimore, July 12.—Forty
cases of sunstroke yesterday—
ten fatal. Thunder storm last
night.
Augusta, Ga., July 11—The
riot of Hamburg terminated dis-
astrously. Sunday morning, be-
tween 2 and 3 o'clock when the
negroes retreated from the brick
building to adjoining houses and
cellers, fifteen or twenty were
captured and the balance escap-
ed into the country. Six ne-
groes were killed and three
wounded. The killed are James
Cook, town marshal, A. J. At-
taway, Albert Merrill, Mose
Parker, Dan Phillips and Ham-
ilton Stephens. Oue white man
was killed and auothei wouad-
ed. After the whites had fired
four rounds from a piece of ar-
tillery, the negros retreated
from the brick building into cel-
lars and outhouses of adjoining
buildings.
Fifteen or twenty were cap-
tured and the balance, including
witnessed may be an auguary of Capt. Doc Adams, escaped the
what we may witness in the
election about to take place.
The labor of reforming the sys-
tem of government is great, and
if elected, I would enter upon
the great duties, not as on a pol-
icy of recreation, but more in
that spirit of consecration, in
which the soldier enters battle.
' W. now of . Ut.
country. It is reported that
some of the prisoners were kill-
ed after being captured. In a
conversation Justice Rivers
said : “I was not in command
and did not call upon the white
citizens to aid me in disarming
the negfoea. I tried to avoid a
difficulty and bloodshed. I ad-
vised the officer* Of the com-
pany to surrender their arms,
ed and said tlieyr could take care
of themselves.
The cause of the difficulty’, he
said, was, that ou the 4ili of Ju
ly, the company was out ou pa-
rade in Hamburg, and would not
make way’ lor two men ir. a car-
riage or buggy to pass Gener-
al Butler was employed by
Robert Butler, to prosecute Ad-
ams and other prominent ne-
groes, for obstructing the high-
way’. The case was set down
for hearing yesterday afternpon,
at four o’clock, but- Rivers did
not know until he heard the
evidence, whether he would sit
down as trial Justice, or order
a court martial for trial of the
offenders, he being a Major Gen-
eral of Militia. The day’ previ-
ous, Justice Rivers and Capt.
Doc Adams had some angry
words, when the latter was or-
dered under arrest for contempt,
but he refused compliance with
Hie order of the court. General
Butler proposed to settle the
matier before the court, if he
would disarm the uegro, but
this proposition was declined.
The, case did not come up for
hearing, and Rivers adjourned
his court and used his influence
with Adams to disarm his men,
which Adams refused to do.
The company assen.bled in the
brick building determined to
fight it out. .White citizens from
Edgfield, aided by the people
from the Georgia side, laid seige
to the building about 8 o’clock
last night, with result as above.
The unfortunate affair is deplor-
ed by all good citizens of both
races, and there is deep regret
that better c mncil didn’t prevail.
Dead were buried to-day. Mer-
riwteber was the first man killed.
Crowds of people from Augus-
ta visited Hamburg where whites
and blacks intermingled freely,
there was deep-regret that blood
had been shed and that the lives
were lost. There was no further
trouble anticipated.

“An Act for the Relief of Rail-
roads and other Internal Im-
provement Co's.”
The following is the bill now
before the legislature, providing
for an extension of time to the
railroad companies, and other
internal improvement compa-
nies, who have commenced, and
are prosecuting in good faith,
the improvement contemplated
by their charters. There can-
be uo logical reason assigned
why' the bill should not become
a law. It was not the intention
of the law-that companies act-
ing in good faith in the contracts
with the State, should forfeit
their charters, or any rights or
privileges granted thereby. The
Texas and Pacific, and other in-
ternal improvement companies,
are using almost superhuman
energies to comply with their
contracts with the State, and
^ » *
justice and equity alike demaud
that this slight favor should be
extended to them. We hope all
the Senators and Representa-
tives in this part of the State
■will use their influence for its
passage:
Section 1. Be it enacted by
the Legislature of the State of
Texas, That the first thirty day s
after the adjournment of the
present session of this Legisla-
ture shall not be counted against
any’ railroad or other internal
improvement company which
has commenced its work in good
faith, aud any such company
completing within thirty days
after the adjournment of this
session of the Legislature any’
work required by’ law to have
been done prior to that time
shall jbe considered as not hav-
ing forfeited its grants, rights,
and franchises under the terms
of its charter.
t
Sec. 2. There being an emer-
gency that works of internal im-
provement may not be impeded
in theif construction, this act
shall take effect and be in force
from and after its passage.

—How progresses the negotiations in
reference to the toll bridge? It is ear-
nestly to be hoped that some arrangi*-
mcmt may be entered into whereby the
bridge will be thrown open to the use
of the public free ot charge.—Mail.
It maizes but little difference
■
now how the negotiations pro-
gress. The proceedings are a
little to*) subsequent, and arc
not at all interesting. The bu-
colic citizen has paid his tribute
to this cormorant who sat at
the gates of Dallas, demanding
that all who entered therein
should pa.v for the inestimable
privilege accorded him of aidiug
and assisting in building up the
commercial interests of the city.
Fort Worth offers thein an open
market with no tall bridges or
restraining ordinances, and they
will not be slow to appreciate
its advantage*.
