I! j The Democrats are at last waking
up to the necessity of preparing rig
orously for the campaign. Theyj be
gin to understand that something
else is needed besides the general
charges that Robeson & Co. stole
everything that came within their
reach short of a saw-mill and ajred

session, and that Messrs. Randall,
McDonald, Eaton,' Banning, Wood,
IKeagan, Clarke; of Missouri, Morn
son, Jones of New. Hampshire,Black

so-me business that cannot be given,

THE BRAZILIAN MAIL STEAMERS.
The Senate Postoffice Committee
has agreed, when the House y postal
appropriation bill comes op in - the
Seuate, to offer an amendment to it
providing for the establishment of
lines of mail . steamers from. Ne w
York and New Orleans to Brazil.
These steamers - are to make semi
monthly trips, and receive $30 per
mile' per (annum from the Govern
ment for carrying the mails.' The'
Brazilian Government has- made a
liberal subsidy to establish a line of
steamers to the United States, and is
anxious to extend its trade relations
with us. Of the $50,000,000 now im
ported by Brazil we only supply about
$7,000,000.
OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
Mr. SchleicherV report, just print
ed, recommends the adoption by Con
gress of a joint resolution which
provides for keeping not less than
2,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry con
tinually, on the Mexican border in
Texas. This is rendered necessary, it
is recited, because robbers,murderera,
and cattle-thieves cross from the Mex
ican side of the Rio Grande and per
petrate all manner of outrages on the
American citizens. The military force
provided for will be stationed between
the mouth of the Rio Grande and El
Paso.- The crossing of the border by
our troops in certain cases, as ordered
by the President Jane 1, 1877, it is de
clared, is necessary for the protection
of the lives of citizens. The following
8tipalations,the resolution says,8hoald
be secured by treaty with Mexico:
1st, indemnity for injuries and losses;
2d, the abolition of the free zone; 3d,
provisions for. the speedy trial and
punishment of offenders; 4th, exemp
tion of American citizens residing in
Mexico from forced loans.'

the request of several thousand Union
veterans. ' The-proceeds were for dis

about three-fourths filled. Among
the persons who were present on tho
platform, which was decorated with
flags, were Postmaster James, Thur

from Governor's Island. The lecture
was mainly historical in its- charac
ter, closing with an eloquept perora
tion in which the speaker said that
the South was doing its best to re
build its former prosperity, and that
the Confederate soldier, acknowledg
ing the bravery of those of the North j
only asked that the past be forgotten.

Run Over by the Hook aud Ladder
During the! excitement incident to the
alarm of fire on Sunday afternoon a severe
accident happened to a young man by the
name of Henry Groves! It seems that him
self and Mr. Tbaddeua Tyler had bold of
the front tillers of itie Hook and : Ladder
Truck, which was on its way to the fire,
drawn by the horse belonging to the com
pany, and after running for some, distance,
becoming , thoroughly exhausted from the
rapidity with which the animal was travel
ling, Mr. Groves shouted to the driver to
stop the horse, but there was so much noise
at the time that he did not .hear him.
Finally he was completely overcome and
fell to the ground, one of the front wheels
passing over his breast and the rear one over
his less. AssoOn as the accident was known
the truck was . stopped and Mr. Groves
was taken up and carried into the front'
porch of Mrs. Herring, who resides near
where the unfortunate occurrence took
place.which was on Annjbetween Fifth and
Sixth streets, but was soon afterwards re
moved in a carriage to the residence of the
family on Fourth, bet ween Dock and Orange
streets. Three of our prominent physicians
were called inland, they announced that no
boaes were broken and that he bad appa
rently received no internal injuries, though
his breast and legs were very badly bruised.
Fortunately, the accident occurred where
the street was very sandy, and the body of
the young man thus yfelded to the weight
of the truck as it passed over him.otherwise
his injuries would doubtless' have proved
fatal. We' learn that Mr. Groves' compan
ion at the tillers was also exhausted and
would have soon fallen if the truck had not
been stopped. The horse, as we have once
before had occasion to remark, is difficult
to control when he is running to a fire, al
ways going at his utmost speed. , , '

m oriurop h summing. i ne nouse j was
unoccupied at the time, having been vaca-
ted a few days before, and was in an un
finished condition. . The loss amounted to
about $150 or $200 The origin of the fire
is unknown, - but is supposed by parties
Uving in the ; neighborhood:; to have,T been
caused by boys playiag in the building.The
fire department was out, but as the house
was isolated, and the flames h .d attained
too much headway for them to be of any
service, they did not get a stream ou the
building.

Editor Stak :-I will be obliged to vou
to withdraw my name from the list of Del
egates to the Congressional Convention. . -
'Ine Delegates to that Convention, as an
nounced by the 1 Chairman of the County
vonveniwn, were selected exclusively from
those members of the party from whom it
was my misfortune to differ.? ' T I
While it might perchance have see mqd
more generous in the : majority to have ac
corded the large ? minority in- that Conven
tion a representation in that delegation,-yet
as it was, by a deliberate vole, decided not
to do so, l am not aware of any authority,
possessed by any one, to add to or take from
the list, as adopted by the Convention. i
" I prefer to submit to the decision of the
Convention itself.
