Tbkntoh, . J Svptonibor 12, 1880.
Tuoedar was a great day for Aew Jersey 1 had
almoH said lor the country. The Democracy, once
renardina; Stw Jersey as fhi'ir uibraltar, had hopod,
tT dimension in the Union ranks, that thoy would
succeed in rainlnjr iwo United States Senators, and
In defeating the amendment at tho ballot-box in
November.
Senator Soovol, recmed to bo under a cloud, on ac
count of the lailure to el. ct a Senator last winter.
But his letter to Governor Ward in regard to the
Constitutional amendment, which was tho proxi
mate cane ot convening the Lejrialature, has set hlra
right asain in ibo hearts of tho people.
When the Democratic moniiieis bosran to anther,
ft waa very evident that thoyfbit tho hopefcssnoM
ot their canae. Tho endeavored at oncetobroak
the Une of the Republican forces. Only ono, wea'K
in the knees, could be lound, a rolliokin? member
from Railway, who in politics Is nolther fMi, flush,
nor fowl! Ills name is Lees, and he had none clear
over to the policy of the r re Melon t, and his bao;ba
nallan Secretary of State. With tu is single excep
tion, the.Union; rankj in the Senate and House
formed a solid phalanx Spartan in boldness and in
strength.
The President of tho Senate proposed the Con
ctitutiouat amendment in the Senate, and Oponed
the argument in a strong and careiully pie
t ared oration, in which he traced the trail ol the
Democratic serpent from the ear 1833 down to the
days ot Dred Scott, Taney, and Cornelius Wendell,
who was browsing in "Iresh fields and pastures
new" teid the still waters of the Treasury or the
public printing. Mr Scovel spoku three-quarters of
an hour, and was followed bv Senator Winfiold, a
short, square-built, youthful Pomocratio Senator,
who, like Mr. Scovol, was once a Dougias Democrat,
but who, unlike the Senator from Camden, nevor
had the courage to leave his party tor the sake of his
country.
Mr. "Wlnfield was evidently put forward by the
Demoeratio minority to make a special assault
upon 800 vel. The wituoism indulged In br the
Camden Senator in his specoh in iront of the
League House during the session of the Southorn
Convention secmoj specially to annoy the Demo
cracy. It was this: S-jeaklng of tho Democratic party
and their inflaelity to liberty, be saia he could ap
propriately apply what Charles II said of Prince
George of Denmarc to the Democracy of the pre
sent day. "I hare tried him arunk," said Kim?
Charles, "and 1 have tried him sobor, and drunk or
aeber, thero is nothing in him."
Winfield concluded his aptech by applying this
language to senator t-covel. Lemocrau applauded,
of course, but it was acknowledged that it was a
coarse and unparliamentary attack.
Scovel replied at ieogia. He sa'd the Sena
tor from Hudson had compared him to the
Prodigal Son. Ue would retort by rejcotlng
the comparison, but if ho was the Prodigal son,
he (Mr. hcove.), turning to the Senator from
Hudson, saw beiore him the fjiled calf! The ap
plause woloh greeted this sally wat leud and long,
and Horner, oi Ocean, acting as President, laughed
uproanouBly.
Mr. Winfield had denied that Chief Justice Taney
ever said that the "nopro had no rights which tho
white man was bound to repect."
The President of the Senate produoed the
United States Boport containing the Drod
Scott case, and read this identical language,
and explained with great lorce the decision,
showing that Taney was directly responsible
for this very language, and read further to show
that the late Chiet Justico denied in that very deoi
sion that the Declaration of Independence conld be
supposed to tncludo the black man in t jo words "all
men"
At 15 minutes before 5 o'clock the roto was taken,
eleven (Repuollcan) r-euatora voting tor the amend
ment, and ten iDumocraisi against it.
Amnedecua ctt'ort nad beo.i mide to postpone
uie measure tor the sessiou. It fai'ori bv the sum )
vote. Ti e announcement by tho Presid-nt wu re
ceived wrln applause long and loud. NewJoMey
is redeemed ir m tho stain of ten years' dovotiou to
a laverr and pro-slavery democracy.
On ""Tuesday, when Hon. A. li. Cattell is made
United btates Senator, you will hear lroiu me

NATIONAL BANK CONVENTION.
The'Bankers of the Northwest in Council Stronj
OppoBition to Mr. Hooper's Amendrnotvt tojthe
National Banking Act An Effort Being Mad
to Have Judge Nelson'i Decision Reversed, Etc.
Chicauo. September 12. A largely attended
Convention 01 the otliccre and managers 0 the
National Banks of the Northwest is iu session in
this -city to-day. Sixty-nix Preei Junta and
Cashier are in attendance, representing the
States oi llliuois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Micbiesm, Missouri, and MiuucBota, -and one
delecHte irom Louisiana. (J. W. Cochrane,

Xhe Convention organized this niOrnln;? by
the appointment of i. D. J"nes, Cashier ot tho
Second National Bank ot" St. Louis, Chairman;
Ira Holmes, Cashier ofthe Third National Bank
of Cbicnrro, Secretary; and Ira M.- Clifford, of
the First National Bank of Davenport, Trea
surer. '
The morning session was devoted to tho ap
pointment of committees. The object ot the
Convention is consultation in reference to the
uestions of redemption, tuxatiou on circulation,
and deposits, and alo to bring a pressure to'
bear on Conpress to dei'eut the auiendineut m-'
trorfuml by Mr. Ilooper, from the Com.uiit.teu
on Banking and Currency.
It la more than probable that, to accomplish
this and other objects, the Convention will eilect
a permanent organization, so that it may act
unitedly upon financial matters before Con;rres
hereafter. The principal business, however, will
be the question of redeeming all national bank
notes in New York, Bo-on, or Philadelphia!. It
will not take long, however, 10 settle the master,
as all are unanimous in denouncing it.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Tho most Important butlHess of the afternoon
session was the unanimous passage ot the tol
lowing: '
Iieo!ved, Unanimously, as the sense of this Con
tention, representing the uatioual banks of tho
Northwest, tnat tho proposed amendment to sectiou
83 of the National Dunk act, as reported br the
lion. Mr Hooper, tl ilasaacunaettg, which require'
ail the national btnit of tlie eoun.ry to rtfiemn rheir
notes in PhilaOelphia, New lork, or Boston, meet
eur earnest and decided disapprobation. We believe
the effect ot uoh auienoineut, it substituted tor ttie
nrovimon in tne law as it now exists concerning re
demptions, wid be to seriously emuarias and im
rede T the commercial and hnauoial tntorrt of thn
entire Wet and Soutnweet, by the lorced concou
trations in the Eastern cities ot a yeiy larire portion
of lie means of the banks winch the commercial no.
cms ties, especially of the West, require to be

the a-reat commercial ceutresot tue West ami Somh-wi-tt
in the manner p ooosed. and believe tiat th
time has come when it u ahao our Interest and our
duty to demand a recocuition ot the financial and
commercial impor auos oi our section ot thacoun

the passage ot the proposed amendment, and re
aeeotiully ak our Se-atois and Kourosentatives in
Congress to use their i noris to iiretum im
alteraUous 01 the existing laws concerning re
demptions. The Convention also expressed ueirbv reso
lution opposed to the taxation of National Uauk
stock ucti ally invested in United States secu

hut th'ev rould cooperate with parties now
neaaedlu the Kast to have the New York de

Great Loss of Life at Albany Explosion of aBo ler
in a Lumber Yard Several Men Instantly
Killed, and Others Wounded.
Albant, September 12. A most terrible acci
dent occurred in this city this morning, involv
ing a great lo ot life and considerable destruc
tion ot property.
Shortly bolore ten o'clock an explosion was
heard in the northern piirt ot tho city, in that
fiortion known as tho lumber district, and very
ittle inquiry ascertained that it was tho large
sawHijg and planing mill oi S. & (J. It ark. The
sound could be htard for miles.
The establishment of Messrs. Rork was a large
one, covering an acre of grouud, and hai on 11
tbrte large wooden buildlnes and one ot brick.
It wss on the corner ot Waer and Lawrence
streets, near the river. Its motive power was
steam, supplied by an eneliie in the bridle
ImilCiuL', ot which Joliu Coilen whs engineer.
He was a man ot bteady habits, an4 was very
industrious.
This morning he had started up his engine at
9 o'clock, and It had b'-cn going about three
quarters of an hour, with a pressure of lil'ty
ponndo to tho inch, when the casualty hap
pened. Machinists and boiler-makers bad buen
employed tor a few days before to repair the
boiler, and it was thought to be entirely trmt
worthy. Water was placed In it at the flr'ing-up,
as much as was necessary.
It seems that the engineer had some premoni
tion of the atlair. There was a little boy by his
fide, and he caueht htm by the arm, and cried.
"Kun, boy, for Ood's sake run." 'i'be boy did
run, and had iust got otl the enclosuie when the
noise ot the explosion, souudiug like a park of
artillery, stunned his car.
All the w indows in one direction were broken,
while those as near in another direction e
caped.
inside the fence the scene was awful. Roofs
were broken down, floors torn up, beums broken,
Irugments ot machinery aud boiler were strewn
all over the premise", and a general contusion
of all that had boen used in the establishment
was visible.
But worse than all was the loss of valuable
human lives. Tho engineer was nowhere to be
lound, nor has his body been recovered yet. A
young man named John Itork, cousin of the
proprietor, was torn into fragments, and his
remains were collected and placed in a box.
He was working over the boiler-room sharpen
ing saws.
On the street in front was a boy of fifteen or
sixteen driving a curt. A lragmcnt of the boiler
strut k his hore on the neck, or making it, and
throwing him off his tect in such a manner that
his head was bent completely under his body.
As to the poor boy, be tared no better, although
it cannot now b3 known just bow he was in
jured, tor he has since died in the City Hospital.
The loliowing is a list of killed:
(iodlrey Lutl. a German of 25 year-iofage,
married, naving several children.
John Feumore, employed as fireman, 23 vears
of act. lie was married and has six or seven
clnldien.
Coruelitts Beye, a German, 40 years of age, an d
married.
John Collen, engineer, 40 years of age, mar
ried, and with four or five children.
John Ileticrnan, 22 years old, who ran a plan
ing nutchine. unmarried.
John Rork, sharpening saws, 25 years of age.
He was, a cousin ol the bwurs, and was unmar
ried, but lived with bis mother.
James O'Netl, tho cartnmu, 15 or 16 years of
ace. His mother was buried but a few days
utro.
TLomiiS Rcardon, 10 years of a?e, was taken
to the hospital with his rib3 broken. He cannot
possibly recover.
James Elliott, twenty-eight vetri of ase.
Besides these, bones aud portions of the body
of another man have been found, but he is uu
knoTJ. A
Two men named McConnell and Brennan are
n.itslng, and It is not known but others atao are
lost. .
A man named Martin, employed as book
keeper ut the adjoiuiiier lumber-dealer's, was so
badly injured that be had to be taken home.
The land and machinery were owned by
Sletsrs. ltork, with Nelson Hogers assilnt part
ner. The loss is estimated at $110,000, although
very little ol the lumber has been injured.
The dibris ct the exploon covers the ground
far around, and pieces ot wood were blown
nearly over the river.
Two men were sittine on the top of a lumber
pile, and were blown old by the wind into the
river. The captain ot a dredge boat near by
jumped iu and saved one, and the other, being
able to swim, nianupred to get out himself.
Teams are now busy in cleurmg away the
wreck, and the place is gradually assuming a
betrcr aspect. No Coroner's investigation has
yet been held.
