DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION.
THE NOMINATIONS.
On Monday last the delegates from different
precincts of Bexar County, met at 2 o'clock,
in the Cassino Hall in San Antonio, for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the
next August election, to be supported by the
democratic party, for the different offices in
our county. Immediately upon the calling
of the meeting to order, it was disco vei el
that there was a spirit of discord; this, "how-
ever, had all been anticipated, and by the by
provided for. The persons who took the
lead in fomenting this spirit of discord al
though they called themselves democrats,
yet it is singular bat significant fact that at
every important city county and State elec-
tion for the last three year?, these very per
sons have invariably been the aiders, abetters
and often leaders of the very party opposing
the democracy. But they are now desirous
to acquire the influence and confidence of the
democratic party which some of them had-of
yore, and too without purifying themselves.—
but it is no go; by their works we must
know them. This faction prevented the or
ganization of the meeting,."by unnecssary
harangues, bickering, disputes, &c., until
night, when the meeting a journed, to meet
again at 8 o'clock, P. M.
The delegates met
at the proper hour, and before going into tlu
ballotings for candidates, resolutions were
offerrML making each candidate, whose name
came before the Convention, pledge himself to
support the nominations made by the Con-
vention, and "by acting with the Convention
he acknowledges the p inciplcs of the demo
cratic party; and that no name should come
before the Convention as a candidate unless
the person shall pledge himself to abide by
the decision of the convention. This, as was
intended, brought matters to an issue at once
—like the spear of Ithuriel, Hbs-ocght things
into their proper shape. Some of the lead
ers of the opposition bolted, jt-ft the Conven
tion, and were followed by a few others, over
m they exerted an influence,
e .Convention then proceeded to the bal
lottings, and all went ofif harmoniously. The
democrats of "old Bexar" never were more
firm and united than at the present time; and
they will manifest tbis fact to the world by
gaining a victory at the next August election
and by a majority over all their opponents,
of whatever name, approaching five hundred
We call the particular attention of our
readers to the proceedings of the Convention
found in our pres nt number. At some
future time, when we have more room, we
shall advert to this subject again.
Shooting Affair.
An attempt was made on Monday night
iast to assassinate Mr. Kopman.a ,-cntlenian
who has lately become a citizen of San An-
tonio. The attack was made while Mr. Kop-
rnan was in his store behind the counter with
a candle in front of him. It seems that some
understanding bad taken place several
ye-previous between him and J. N. Henri-
Democratic Convention.
t3T A man was drowned in our city
Monday night last. It seeing, that he bad jjjMes; and Henriqneg, -after dark, approached

others. It is gin i ully believed that he acci-

BIBLE SOCIETY.
The animal meeting of the -San . Antonio
Bible Society will be held at the Presbyterian
Church, on Sunday the 15th instant,.at five
o'clock P. M.—at which time the General
Agent is to.be present. All who feel an in.
terest in thefcnuso, it is hoped. vSil attend.
Stabbing.—Two persons wjre engaged in
playing cards in a house in our city on Sunday
last, when some misunderstanding occurred,
and ode of them stabbed the other in the
breast and back. The offender was -not ap-
prehended, although the offense was commit-
ted in the -middle of the day, and we are in-
. -formed that he has left for parts unknown.
CS* H. Mayer A Co.havejust received an
additional stock -of Dry Goods and Ready
aiade Clothing, which they are offering for
sale at a remarkably low prices. A partner
«af this firm resides in New York, and he of-
<en visits Texas, and hence he knows what
goods to furnish. This accounts for their
large sales, and the remarkably low prices a1
which they sell their goods. See their adver.
xiaement. and gire them a call, and out word

oCWmbv.—Some person or,persons broke

robbed us of our clothing, even taking the
last shirt, save one we fortunately had on.
Tb^y.4>rake open two trunks, robbed Ihem of
their contents, and one of the trunks was
found several yards from the bouse. The
miserable creature* no doubt were after
money, but they went away sadly disap
pointed—not one solitary dime did they find;
aad tfiey alas got a meagre supply of cloth-
ing, and most of it half worn.
• What must be the pitia'.Je condiiion of th*
miserable beings having the human form, who
would rob aaeditor! and what must be the
condition of their minds to image in that they
can find money in a printing office i We pity
their deplorable condition—we forgive them,
•nd hope that Goijmsj forgive them. Their
fvaota most have been greater than ours.
But if they had coma to ns and mado their
wants known, we would have cheerfully given
them whaf they have stolen, and saved their
consciences of the ignominious disgrace and

tion, Col. Jas. C. Wilson, was called to the Chair, and
Isaac P. Simpson F.sq.t appointed Secretary. Col. J.
C. Wilson offered the following preamble and resolu-
tion expressing the object of the meeting :
Whereat the legislature of the State, at its last ses-
sion, parsed a Bill increasing the salaries of the Su
preme and District Judges of the State; and whereas
the members of the Snn Antonio Bar, regard the pas
sage of su*d law an just and wise, and beiieviug that
there will be ample time before said law goes into ef-
fect, for the people of the Fourth Judicial District to
canvass fully the merits of any candidate. Therefor be
it :
Resovled. That the lion. Thos. J. Devine, Judge of the
Fourth Judicial District, should have no delicacy of
feeling upon the subject, and that it is the unanimous
«entim nt of this Bar that & should resign.
That the sincere thanks of this Bar be, and they are
hereby t ndered to his lienor for the very able prompt
and impartial manner, in which he has discharged the
nnerous and responsible duties of hi office.
Tbat in the event of his resignation, we recommend
him to the friendly consideration of the members of
>f tha Bar, and the voters of this District for re-elec
tion.
Tha/ a copy ci these resolutions be furnished his
Honor, and that copies be furnished the Austin and
San Antonio papers with the request to publish the
the same.
After appropriate remarks from Messrs Wilcox Waul
and Paschal, the above preamble and resolution were
unanimously adopted.
On motion, the Chairman appointed a committee of
three, Messrs Davidson, Wilcox, and Waul, to wait upon
his Honor. Judge Devine. with acopy of the resolutions-
Judge I. A. Paschal offered the following pream
ble and resolution, which was nl*oadopted unanimous-
ly. Wherea*, delays m the adm nistration of Justice
are among the greatest evils of any community; anil
whereas it is found by experience, that the .Supremo
Court, aa it is now constituted, cannot despatch the
brines* before it without incurring such delays.
Therefore be it:
Rrsolvfd. That in the opinion of the members
t is Bar, the number of Judges of said Court should be
ncreased to five.
Whereupon the meeting adjourned.
