Nominations and Bitter Speeches A Triumph for Conkling Adjourn ment. ' ' Rochester, N. Y,, September 27. The speeches were -very bitter. It is a great triumph for Conkling. The convention had greatly thinned out this morning. John O Churchill, of Oswego, was nominated Secretary of State. .... . ; - - The work , of the convention being completed, Lyman Tremaine was call- ed for and addressed the body in rela-. tion, to the magnitude and importance of the coming canyasa. The Democratic party boastfully declares that ' having now the control of a solid South, they propose and expect, to capture ?jNew York and a few other Northern States, ana thus get control of the national administration for another twenty-five years. Let them get legislative control of this State and the .Republican party will have little hope or rescuing it from their hands again h) ten years. Are the loyal . men of this State ready to hand the government to the possession of the men who so lately sought to de stroy it ? 'Ihe speaker proceeded at some length to review the political condN tion in the Southern States, and the alleged outrages upon Republicans there, and asked how loyal men liked the idea of being subjected again to tne dictation or a "solid couth' Mr Wood, of Alleghany, interposing. asked, "who made the solid South ?" Mr Tremaine replied, "don't reyive is suer that were laid at rest yesterday. Let us turn to the future, and unite your efforts to ward off the disasters that threaten the country through a revival of disloyal Democratic rule by the aid of the solid South. New York is the key to the situation ; hold this fort and all is safe; hold th e fort and all the plans of the enemy will fall to tne ground." Me proceeded to argue that the Re publicans could have carried the State at the last election. In the presence of great disadvantages we saved the Legislature this year. Stimulated by the fact that we have a New York Sen ator at stake, we can do better still. He did not sympathize with, but ear nestly scouted the idea that because of yesterday's debate we would lose the State. When he was in the Demos cratic party he always found that when there was electricity in the air, bring ing a storm, they were strongest, and so it would be here and now. He closed with an appeal for unanimity and earnest work. Then at five minutes past eleven the convention adjourned. FKOITI WASHINGTON. 1 lie Rochester Convention- -The Conference with the Sioux. Washington, September 27. Great interest attaches to the Rochester con vention. All the New York papers have elaborate editorials on the sub ject. The firebrand was that part of Hayes policy divorcing the civil from the political service. Bis South ern policy was highly lauded by the Curtis faction, and not denounced by the Conkling party. Key does not believe the statement that a Confederate flag was displayed during the reception at Atlanta, where Key says the enthusiasm was greater than anywhere else. The War Department building is not fire proof, but the commission found every precaution taken against such calamity as befel the Interior Depart ment. The grand council with the In dians was held in the east room. There were twenty-five savages. They were painted and wore feathers. Speeches were in the usual style. Big Roads said: 'Great father,' (alluding to Hayes) "1 have had some promise Irom the President and have been looking for it ever since." Little Wound said: "We want religion and a Catholic priest." The Dog said : "I am a Northern In dian, but 1 am a wise man in that coun try. I want my people to be raised right, to be quiet, and we want to know which is the widest road tor us, and which is the best way for us to live. You get rich, rich, and that is what I want to do. It is the way you do. The conference was adjourned till to morrow. Mrs Hayes made the acquaintance of the savages. The Star says she re ceived them graciously and they bow ed with the politeness of dancing mas ters, when shaking hands. MARYLAND DEMOCRATS. Meeting of the State Convention They Congratulate Them selves that the President Adheres to Democratic Principles. Baltimoke, September 27. The De mocratic State Convention met to-day, Pinckney White, president. Thos W Keating, of Queen Anne county, was nominated Comptroller. The third resolution wes , as follows : "It is a cause of congratulation o the country, at large; and especially of pride and satisfaction to J the Democratic-party, that its. peaceful policy of home rule and non-intervention in the civil af fairs of the States, has become a cardi nal rule of action, even in an adminis tration whose title to office - is not de rived from an election : according to constitutional methods, but exists by the adjudication of a tribunal unknown to the constitution, but whose award has been acquiesced in by. peace-loving people."

Burning of a Chromo Factory, Boston, September 27. L Prang & Co., a large chromo establishment in the .highland district, is on fire and will probably be destroyed. The build ing is filled with valuable plates, chro mos, &c. The loss will probably ex ceed $50,000. Latee The stock of goods on hand at Prang's chromo establishmentwas very large and valuable.

The loss on the building, wbich is considerably damaged, is $10,000. The establish ment was working full time. to fill large orders for the fall trade.

Gen Grant replying to various addresses which he received at Sheffield, to-day, referred to the American tariff and reminded his hearers that the United States has to raise money to pay off the great debt incurred by the war. The reve nue from imports was regarded solely as a means of attaining that end. If the United States were to abolish the revenue from imports, the foreign bondholders would very soon cry out when their interest was not forthcom ing. He added : " We get along well enough wilh the payment of our debt and will compete with you in your manufactures in the markets of the world. The more of your merchants and mechanics go to America the bet ter; nothing pleases us more than the immigration of the industry and in telligence of this country. We have room for all and will try to treat you asyou have treated me to-day." Failures. New York, September 27.

The reason why only one sample bottle of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liver will hn sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our druggists, in Charlotte, is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepa tine into this country, but as there are fifty doses in the large siza bottles, it seems two cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi cine that cures dyspepsia and liver com plaint.
