The Sun says: Cotton advanced two to three points, lost this and declined five to strj points, recovered Jthis and advanced eight to ten points and closed steady at a net rise of seven to nine points, with sales of 355 000 bales. New Orleans was at one time : easier, but . later on advanced several points. New York rose 1-1 6c and so did New Orleans and St, Louis, ' while there was a rise of c. at; Savan nah. Charleston. Augusta, Mobile, Nor folk and Boston. Liverpool advanced 1.1 Rd. -' with sales of 12.000 bales. Future rose 5-64d., though! 3 64d. of this was afterward . lost. The '. receiDts at New Orleans to-morrow are estimated at 8.500 to 4.000 bales, against 3 724 last-Wednesday and 9.801 last vear. One New York operator sold about 'SO.OOO bales to day. The major ity of crop reports say .picking will be well over by October 1st. j Private cables say tu&t Liverpool went off on failure of Manchester to respond to the advance. Galveston reported favorable weather, and said that no damage baa been done by the cold wave. Liverpool shorts were covering on bad crop re ports. A Fall River dispatch said: Mills Here acd at Providence have; enough orders for print cloths to prevent accu mulation of stocks for some weeks, Spinners expected to buy shortly. Port receiDts 26.295 bales, against 16,015 a week aco and 28.946 a year ago: thus far this week 79.287 baler, against 44,203 fnr the same time last vear. ! To day's features: The bear i position wis bombarded by heavy bull artillery and the shorts told like red-hot shot Liverpool was active and higher. Neill Brmners estimated ;.the crop; at only 7.C00.000 to 7.S50 000 bales. Manchester as firmer the spot markets were more active at rising prices; the!, exports showed an increase; much of the weak long interest has totally been eliminated and the cotton seemed to be in stronger hands. Even very heavy realizing pro duced comparatively little impression, and that only of the moment. The market showed elasticity and undeniable scrength and easily rose on brisk buying tor New York, Southern and European account. Liverpool bought 2,000 bales on the liquidation of straddles.! The re ceipts at the ports were more liberal, but the increase was believed to be due to the prevailing high prices and to the fact that the hot weather of late has caused a premature opening of bolls. There will be a rush of cotton for a time, but the bulls contend that the crop is short beyond question,' and that sooner or later this will be patent to the most skeptical. Europe is beginning to give more credence to unfavorable crop advices, as the increased spot business goes to show. - The speculation to-day was the heaviest cf any day , for some weeks, and the last prices were about the best of the season. 1 GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. wheat Strong and Higher A; Moderate Advance in Corn Lrd Lower 8hort Bibi Higher. ... ' ' j By Telegraph to the Morning Stat. Chicago, bept. 31. Wheat was un- mistakeable strong to-Jay and for what reason it was rather difficult to see. The market was palpably short and as offer ings became scarce after the opening it was reasonable to expect an upturn when covering was attempted. Upon the an nouncement of Bradstreet's report prices , eased off, but subsequently another rally occuried and the close was quite strong. December wheat opened from C8Ji to 58c. sold between 5858c and 50c. closing aLj9Je-fclc. higher than yesterday. Cash wheat ! was firm and 1 cent higher than yesterday. Corn made a moderate gain to-day, sjjut the strength of wheat was entitled to the credit for it. Receipts of corn hold up well. Reports from the interior are to the effect that larmers have a larger amount of old corn on hand than the trade has arranged for, and that it is now being marketed to make room for . the new crop, which is ready to be housed. May corn opened at 28, c, sold between that and 29Jc, closing at the outside &Hc higher ! than yes terday. Cash corn was unchanged. . No feature appeared in oats. Prices varied only according to the action of wheat and corn. The trade in this grain , has fallen into a rut, no business having been transacted for some time. May oats closed He higher than I yesterday. Cash oats were steady and &c lower. Provisions There was nothing in provisions of any particular interest. Liquidation in October continued and the packers were selling off long stuff, being influenced by ' the hog market. The closing prices were' 7$c higher than yesterday for October; pork, 2c lower for October lard and 5c higher for October ribs. ! ATROCIOUS MURDER. s f The Matter of tbe Schooner John A. Dixon Killed Br the Mats. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, September 24. De tails of the murder on the Potomac river, briefly reported this morning, as received here made the affair one of singular atrocity. The -schooner on which the rie was committed was the John A. D.xon, under the command of Capt. John F. Revelle, of j Baltimore The vessel left Norfolk several days ago with a cargo of lumber, consigned to Frank Lftbey & Co., of this city. While the schooner was underway j a quarrel arose between the Captain and the col ored mate, during which the Captain drew his gun on him. This angered the negro, and, as the Captain was coming out of the hatch, he dealt him several blows on the head with a marlin spike. The Captain did not die for some time after the fatal blows were struck. One of the colored men went to the dying man and did everything in his power to save him. The mate, after kill ing the captain, remarked that he guessed be had better get out of this, and packing his valise, left in the schooner's small boat. Horace F. John son, of Baltimore, a friend of the mur dered man, came over to this city this morning with' an undertaker to take charge of the remains. 1 A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Shanghai, says that j the entire .province of Cheng Kiangi has again been placarded with anti-foreign and anti-Christian proclamations, causing much anxiety among the foreign resi dents, r j , - NAVAL STORES MARKETS. , Tclezraph to the Moraine Star.

A conven tion of Irish Americans met to-aay in the auditorium of the Y. M. C A., un der the "call to action," which declared that the Irish struggle for freedom had reached a momentous period; that their native country had been abandoned in the crisis of her fate by the Liberal leaders; that she had been alternately betrayed by the Whigs and dragooned by the Tories; that political agiiauun after long and patient trial bad utterly failed to accomplish its oojeci; ana, mere fore, it only remained to consider what other method cf procedure or argument could be used to achieve her liberation rwfore she was done to death ty tne usurping enactments of a fereign and hostile power. -The delegates were slow in assembling this morning in tbe convention, which had been elaborately decorated with the stars and stripes, in terwoven with the beloved green and the harp of Irish song. Over the plat form were suspended banners bearing the coats-oi arms of the Irish provinces, While the delegates were finding their seats in the btate sections a liie-sizea . j oil painting of Robert Emmett and a canvas, with the inscriotion "God save Ireland." together with a picture of Al len Larkin and O'Brien, 'the "Manches ter martvrs." were elevated over the oroceneum arch. A flatter of excite ment marked the entry oi tne .solitary woman delegate, wno represented tne United Daughters of Erin. The con vention had been called to assemble at 10 o'clock, but at that hour none of the promoters and but a handful of del srates had put in an appearance unrecognized save by a very lew. tr. i . Tynan, whose name is linked with the traeedvof Pbcenix Park, and who is "number one," as known the world over, came in quietly and took a seat in the rear. It was not until 12 o'clock that, in response to the repeated stamp ing and other manifestations of impa tience, the Convention was called to order by" J. J. O'Connell, Chairman of the local committee. At this time not more than half the seats of the - hall were occupied, and a large number of these whose names had been given out by the local committee as having regis tered at headquarters were conspicuous only by their non-appearance.- During the interval of waiting fully a hundred cablegrams and domestic dispatches, wishing success to the new movement, were reeeived, and some of the more significant were subsequently read to the Convention from a large number of placss in -Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and some of the Southern States. . Som : pledged funds, without limit, for any earnest effort to free Ireland; others urged the convention to ask for nothing less than independence, and accept nothing less. Others asked for complete separation, no matter by what means accomplished. A lengthy dis patch from the Emmett Guards, of Philadelphia, ended, "the new move ment must end only in the complete autonomy of Ireland. About seven hundred delegates, representing nearly every btate and Territory, were in at tendance at tne atternoon session. There was no. local "packing," Chicago and Illinois not having more than twenty-five of the total. Te delegates will re-assemble to-morrow morning. WASHINGTON NEWS. Gold Withdrawn Condition of the .

';V ' J "' , -"T . ' By Telegraph to tte Morning Star. Syracuse, September 24. Barring Tammany's fight against the admission of the Grace-Faircbilds men, the Demo cratic Convention to-day was Jiarmoni- f The attendance was large, the en thusiasm great, and the long string oi candidates made matters lively before and after the opening session. vrWeeks have been spent in preparation and the brainy men of the j?arty have struggled nth hundreds of sutreestions. ine plat form is intended to be acceptable to the German-Americans and other liberai- minded people, without offending tne more straight-laced Democrats. It is .most cleverly worded. One pianK nas been submitted to the uerman-Amen-cans and it ' is satisfactory to them. It is also satisfactory to tne Tammany, Democrats, who announcea some time ago that they were out ior legislation to do away with Kooseveit- lsm. but how the Democrats oi me rurai districts will take it is a question which the November elections will dis solve. The plank is a slignt moamca tion of the following, which was sub mitted by the committee of the German American organization ol the city oi New York: ' . The Democratic party being, as it nas ever been, strictly for respectful obseiv ance'of Sunday, and especially : by ab staining-from all save necessary labor and avocations, and yet mindful ol the right of every citizen to the enjoyment "of worship and comfort and recreations accorcinp: to his on conscience and wishes, as far as compat ible with due regard to the belief ana de sire of others, we promise to propose to, and will endeavor to obtain at the com ing Legislature, a law which will enable each community to determine for itself bv noDuIar vote whether the sale of food, beverages, and otner necessaries snau oe J M " . . i tii permitted on tne rust aay oi tne wee during certain hours and in a manner so restricted as not to interfere with reli gious services." benrtor uavta ts. niu aia not auena the Convention to-day, but remained in his room at the notel. lie was present at the hearing of the contents this morn ing and listened closely to the argu ments ot the urace-raircnua people ana- also to the replies of the Tammany ora tors. Senator Hill is throwing all nis influence in favor of admitting the con testants and so bitter is the fight by ex- Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, who represents Senator Murphy who is laid up at the hotel here with rheumatism, and also boss Croker, who is in New York, that Sheehan and Hill scarcely speak to each other. Tammany refused to listen to argu ments, and will fight to the end against allowing recognition to be made of the men who helped defeat their Jocal ticket. The general belief is that Tam many will be compelled to swallow the bitter pill, and that the State Democ racy will be given one-third of New York city's representation. Tammany made a strong fight in tbe committee to-nightrand if the report is against them they will make another fight in open convention to-morrow. At 12.27 p. m. Chairman James W. Hinckley, of the State Committee, call ed the Convention to order. Senator Hill had not arrived. Prayer was. offered by A. H. Vanstock. He made no refer ence to politics further than to ask that the Assembly be united. Chairman Jritnckley then announced as the choice of the State Committee for temporary chairman, tbe Hon. Perry Belmont. Mr. Belmont took the chair at 12:80, acd- addressed the Convention. His reference to home rule and his men tion of party heresies were generally ap plauded. When Mr. Cleveland's name was heard the applause lasted fully a minute. Hill's name drew out another burst of applause. Tbe roll call of delegates by counties was then gone through with. In calling the Albany county Third District the name of David B. Hill, who was elected there, was omitted, and that of Law rence J. Fassett was called. At the close of the roll call - for delegates Mr. Fair child rose and handed up his list of con testants. The list was referred to the Committee on Contested Seats when appointed. ' f The other contests were referred in a like manner. The usual committees were appointed and the Convention ad journed until 16 a. m. to-morrow. The Grace-Fairchild .Democrats ar rived in a body a few minutes before 12 o'clock. With them came S. Fairchild, Robert Grier Monroe, Maurice J. Power and other leaders. They had no seats assigned them and seated themselves about the hall. - i; SUIT FOR DAMAGES Against Moody & Brewster, of Atlanta, Ga. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Atlanta, Sept. 24. John is. Smith, through his attorney, Mr. Thomas R. Cobb, has entered suit against Moody & Brewster ior $25,000 damages. Smith is the stock and bond broker who mys teriously disappeared last May and who was so industriously sought for.

S. C CONVENTION. Progress in the Work of Amending the Constitution. . By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Columbia, S. C, September 24. The Constitutional Convention to-day was entirely: occupied on the article on the Executive department. The two sec tions, most vigorously fought over were those creating a Board of Pardons and giving the Governor the right to summarily suspend county; offi cia s on np-irl -of defalcation or mal feasance. Compromises were adopted in both cases. A Board of Pardons was provided for. but the Legislature is to name its members and its decisions will be subject to .revision and change by the Governor. Another section makes it the duty of the Governor to order an investigation by the proper judicial . officer on receiv ing a report 'of malfeasance - or defalcation, and to suspend tbe accused official on finning of a true bill against him by the grand jury.
