It is will known that the nomination is not
such as I expected. It is not what I desired,
and at another Urn's and nndr different cir

By no wish, and i.o act of mine, direct or Indi
rect, am 1 a candidate. Mj position Is not the
result of any ambitious aspiration of my own
It is b duty imposed upon me. I would gladly
shrink irotn its Ubors, its vexations, ana its
responsibilities. But at such a time, and in IU9
midst of a political campaign like the present, l
am constrained to yield obedience to tue em
phatic demand of the cron'ventio o. Id

not as an individual, hut as the representative
of the ancient principles aim piescuv punum mi
the Denjoctatic party as the ripreeutative of
not the deai past, but the living present; of the
questions pending to-day between the revolu

(Cheers.) As a cnudidaie ' repre-seut the views
and teelinKs and purposes ot the puny, an 1 the
men who demand that the further domination
ol the radical KcrmlTican fuction, with its
military despotisms, its negro Governments,

Whoever of either party thinks that these toing
ought not any longer to he endured cannot hesi

the present and the future, (applause.) If
this nomination, my Irieuds, however graiilylng,
is to be reearded as a mere personal lavor to me
as au individual, and If votes are to be given
or withheld upon any such consideration, I raot
xeepectiully decline it. If, however, every citi
zen is by' his ballot to express his views
and his convictions upon public affairs, 1
accept it, since you, my friends, have not
deemed me incompetent or unlit to faithfully
represent sud carry out the principles and
r
policies which are tne i-sues in tins election as
have just f et them lonh. As to the result of
ie canvas, allow me a word. You know that
the
this district was, six years ago, made heavily
Republican, as that party was then organized;
but times are change and election returns
with them, and the vote six years or two years
ago any where is small evidence of what it shall
be in October or November next. Resting the
campaign solely upon the great questions which
now come homo to the hearts and pockets, too,
of the people, and asking the judgment of the
voters of this district wholly upon them, I have
but little mere of pTsonal interest in the
result than any other cliizen. But my conn
dence in the lu'eilieence and honesty of the
people and in the power ot these issues is very
great, aud, without sounding manifesto or
boastful prumbc or pledges, 1 only say to you
that I propose calmly, steadily, qu'.etly, and
with determined purpose to go to work and
carry this District. (Great cheering.) Whether
I shall succeed I can tell you better on the
morning after the election. (Laughter.) But
meantime, my friends, while you spare no
honorable effort for success, do not concern
yourtelvcs about either the idle boasts
or the vulgar asauts and falsehoods
and fabrications of the enemy. It is the mission
of little creatures to abuse Valiaudigham, and
it is bis business to pass them by with profound
contempt. (Cheers.) As for myself. I propose
lo deal fairly, honestly, and kindly with all ad
versaries. In this spitit lsball at the outset
meet the gentleman who is to be my competitor,
and it is for him to say whether he will recipro
cate the courtesies usual among gentlemen.
And now, my iriends, once more thanking yon
for this kind and coraial "surprise party," upon
an occasion most unexpected, and trusting to
meet you atrain wheu better prepared to extend
the hospitalities of former times, I bid you good
UhjLt. (Loud cheers.)
VICTORIA.
Tine Attempt to Assaeslaate the Qwaeia
or jsafisaa.
This morning's European despatches con
tained the meagre account of an attempt made
to assassinate Queen Yictorla at Lucerne,
Bwltzerland. The New York World thus com
ments:
The Queen of Great Britain has numerous
nersonal virtues to recommend her to her
people. Coming of a bad race, taking charge of
a Court by no means purified lrom the indecen
cies of the Regency, ehu his ever sho wn herself
highly sensible ot her moral obligations and
careful to make her courtiers feel the same.
On this account, whatever may have been
her weakness as a political ruler, sue
Las constantly merited the esteem of
her subjects, and of numbers, too, who
owe her no allceriauce. If any sovereign
in Europe were likely to escape assassina
tion it would be Queen Victoria. Unfortu
nately, however, her life has on more than
one occasion been the object ot an assassin'd
aim. In June, 1840, while yet a girl, a poor
wtetch named Oxiord, more thau naif de
mented, endeavored to assassinate her, but
happily in vain. Scarcely two years afterwards
John Fiancis was sentenced to be hanged lor
a similarly unsuccessiul attempt, but the excel
lent 3 oun, Queen woul 1 not permit the execution
of the sentence, in July, 1812, John Deau was
sentenced to imprisonment tor eighteen months
lor another attempt. In these cases tue
criuiiuaU have beeu invariably Englishmen.
Speaking ot attempts on the queen's lue it may
not be out ot pl.ice to call attention to the
rumors prevalent some thirty years ago, of the
more than legitimate uuxietv of her uncle, the
Duke of Cumberland, alierjvaids King of
Hanover, to have her removed Irotn his path to
the throne ot tue Go'-rges. On account of this
well-known fueling her mother, the Duchess of
Kent, constantly circulated rumorsot the young
.Princess' declining health. These had their
effect, an 1 no kriown attempt on her life watt
made before the first just mentioned.
The cable telegram of Uiis morning, which,
with uiea'jie deinil. announce a rumored at
tempt on her Majesty's itie in Switzerland, it is
not necessary to i-ta'e, requires confirmation.
And that portion which impliedly charg-a u
eocittv einliruciut! a lurge section of the Cfltls
race with coldly and deliberately planning as
unnecessary a crime as there is recorded, needs
very strong evidence in i' support. We hesitate
to admit that even a bona fide attempt has
been mede bv some enthusiast, like the
Vlctoriau, O'faiTcll. rendered senseless
by broouing over Ol'ie wrousis and ro-rpooi-iblo
only lor himself. At the inoseut
moment the tide of popular feeling is setting
etronelv in En el and towards "justice lor Ire
land." 'The strength of Unit current involves
the existence of a areut political party now
ruliDg the country, aud the Ueaven-boru minis
ter of these latter Jays might not be scrupulous
as to Ihe menus he my employ iu diverting the
tide. Until it is placed beyond all doubt that
this alleced attempt at assassination was
p'anued by the Fenian organization, let our
readers remember the k.'udly feelmes of the
Irish people towards the Qu'eeu personally, aud
that knowing who is to De the nxt King of
Britain there is constantly on te" Hps the re
mark of diaries to his brother -"Junien, they
Kill never desalinate me to wake ju King."

You may aik, it you will, why China comes

the satis of jour commerce into her ports, the
voices of your missionaries into her interior,
and the lights of your citizens within her
jurisdiction In that spirit, aud ii that cause,
I welcome Mr. Burltngame aud his associates,
and bid them God speed on their way to the
other countries.
'ihe lion. Charles Sumner spoke at length,
pronouncing a warm eulogy upon Mr. Burlin
game, in which be said:
"Mr. Uurlingame was not only my personal
friend, but an honored associate iu representing
trie good people ol this commuutty, and In ad
vancing a great cause, which he championed
With memorable eloquence and fidelity. 8uch
are i o common ties. Permit me to say that this
Eplct.dul welcome, now ottered by the municipal
authorities of Boston, is only a natural expres
sion of the sentiments which must prevail In this
community. Here hiB labors and triumphs began.
Herein jour eprly arplaueeaud approving voices
he first tasted of that honor which is now his
in such an pie measure. He is one of us who
going lot lli into a strange country has come
back with its biebest trusts and diguities. Once
the representative of a siusle Congressional
district, he now represents the most populous
iiatioc ot the globe. Once the representative of
a little more thau a third part ot Bjsiou, he is
now the r -preventative or more th in a tliird
part ol the human lace. The population of the
globe is estimated at 1, 200,00(1,000, that of China
at more than 400,000,000 and sometimes at even
00,000,000. If In this position there be much
to rxcue wonder, there is still more for
gratitude in the unparalleled opportunity which
it affords. What we all iisi is opportunity here,
opportunity ou a surposlag scale, to be
employed, I am sure, so as to advance the best
in'erests of the human lamily; and if thess
are advanced no nation can suffer, with justice
aLa generosity as tne reciprocal rule, and
nothing else can be the aim of the precut mis
sion. There can be no limits to the immeasura
ble consequence. For myself, I am less solicit
ous with regard toconce;:Sions or privileees than
with regMrd to that spirit ot friendship and eood
neighborhood which embiaces alike the distant
and the near, and when once established lenders
an else easy. Mr. humoer men gave an mterest
ine review of the visit of Marco Polo to China.
in the thirteenih century, as described bv the
Vcnitian historians, and drew comparisons be
tween tue experiences or Polo and Burlingame.
In conclusion, Mr. Sumner said: And this brings
me, Mr. Maor, io the treaty which you Invited
me to discus. But I will not now enter unon
this loplc. Ii you did not call to order for
f peaking too long, 1 urn sure I should be called
to orotr in another place for undertaking to
tpehk ot a treaty which has not yet beeu pro
claimed by the President. One remark I will
make, and take the consequences. Tne treaty
does not propose to do much, but is an excel
lent bcginniug; and I trust through the good
omces ot our fellow-citizen, the honored Pleni
potentiary will unlock these great Chinese
f-ates, which have bi-en bolted aud barred for
ong centuries. The mission is more than the
treaty, because it will prepate the way for
further intercourse, and will help that new order
ot things which are among the promises of the
lulure.
CRIME.
A Lyncblag Mob Firad 17 pom nad Oat
Killed.
The Ilopkinsville (Ky.) Courier of recent
dale sajs:
John Coombs, as onr readers will remember,
has figured tor some time past, and on various
occasions, in our police reports, charged with
the offense of whipping his mother.
In the opinion of some ot the young gentle
men of our city, the arm of the law was too
short and weak to Inllict u punishment com
mensurate with the magnitude of the offense
charged.
These young gentlemen determined to take
the law in tneir own hands. We do not approve
ot any violence of mobs and the Use. We were
not, however, the legal adviser of these young
gentlemen. They, according to Coombs' state
ment, ditguising themtelves as negroes, pro
ceeded to his house, determined to punish him
as they thought be deserved. Aimittance being
demanded by these disguised parties, Coombs,
being thoroughly am ed, determined to give
battle. From his station at an upoer window,
he tired upon the assailing party. The ball took
etlect in the head of Kobert Hunter, shattering
the skuII and causing instant death. Hunter's
companions then retreated. The deceased was
well known in this community, was a carpenter
by trade, and a clever, kind-hearted man.
Coombs was arrested, tried, aud acquitted, as be
w as justifiable in the premises. The same paper
contains a card, signed by Coombs' mother, iu
w hich she states that her son bad not npor the
occasion spoken of, or at any other time, abused
Ler or used any violence towards her.

The New Albany (Ind.) Commercial of Wed
nesday last says:
By a special despatch from Crawfordsville
we have the following particulars ot a most hor
rible triple assassination. The despatch says:
"The citizens ot Crawiordsville have beeu veiy
much hocked by the receipt of a letter from
Curihage, Missouri, coutaiulug the distressing
intelligence that three former citizens of this
iilace, Mr. Israel Putton, his son, and nephew,
dr. Nelt-on Moore, were receutlv assassinated
near Carthage. It seems thut they nad bs.-n
miKHiig several days, and a search was made for
them, which resulted in finding their Oodles
bung to a tree, with their throats cut, evidently
having been lelt in lhat coutlliiou for several
days. Mr. Patton lived withiu a tew miles of
Crawfordsville lor a number of years, and po
tessed an excellent moral character. His son
served in the army credibly, and wa iu niauv
respects a n.ost worthy man. Air. Moore, the
ntphew, was remarkably quiet, never saying a
word to give offense to any one. We are unable
to lenru the probable reason of the outraire.
and lrom the well-known character of them all,
arc lelt to infer that they are the victims of
Kebi 1 hatred, as they were all thoroughly loyal
and lovers of then- country. Their death his
occasioned a feeling ot sniness in the commu
nity, and we wait with much bolicilude the
particulars in the case."
THE EXPRESS ROBBERS.

The Detroit (Mich.) Tribune, of August 20,
tays:
Yesterday the case of the United States against
Frank lteuo aud Charles Andersou was culled
up agaiu betore Police Magistrate Carou, at
Windsor, for further examination. When the
case was called, Albert Prince, who was em
ployed to conduct the examination lor the pro-f-ecution,
renewed his motion of yesterday for
the nmuifion of certain documentary evidence.
The magtstiute declined to receive it, unless the
piosccuiion would produce Ilarklus, the mam
witness against the defemiau's, in order
to give them an opportunity to meet him
face to face and subject bim to a croas eiamiua
tion. He said he had examined the statute and
had come to the c inclusion, that it was entirely
oi.'cretionflry with him to admit or reject the
documentary evidence, and under the cireura
Muuceu he should exclude It, At the Muteitiou
of Mr. Prince, a note of this discaslon was
mfle by the clerk, and the counsel then an
nouncfd that he should not Introduce Harklns,
a r would he eive aovraason for hii non-nro-
4 ictlon In Court. He announced at the same
time that be could not proceed further with tne
case unless permitted to Introduce the deposi
tions. The Court offered to give hint further
time to procure testimony, but the offer was
declined, and the magistrate then discharged
he prifonen.
No sooner had they been set at liberty than
Ibey were rearrested on a warrant charging
tbem witb having committed an assault with
intent to kill Americus Wheedon, conductor on
the Jefferfonville, Madison and Indiana Rail
road, in Indiana, on the 22 1 ot JUy ias issued
by Gilbert McMirken, another of the maelsiratcs
in the town. This action was not entirely
unexpected, although the source from which
the wan-ant drenaled created a little surprise.
The prif oners, about noon, were arraigned bdlore
Mr. McMicken, pleaded not guilty, and the ex
amination was adjourned until 2'30 o'clock, at
which time the Court reopened at Sandwich. T.
O. Ilatkms, the mefsecger alluded to above, ap
peared in prcpri a person a, and swore positively
lhat Frauk Beno and Cuarles Anderson, Sen.,
are the men who robbed the express car. He
declared that he could not be mistaken In
regard to the Identity of the prisoners, aud gave
his testimony in such a manner as to leave
little, if any, room to doubt its correctness.
Mr. Whet don, the conductor of tbe train which
was robbed, and who prelerred the charge of
assault with iutent lo kill, failed to ideality the
accused. Some other testimony of an unim
portant nature was taken, when, owing to the
lateness of the hour, the case was adjourned for
a furl her bearing at 10 o'clock A. M. today.
It is understood that the British Minister at
Wahington has written to the Canadian Gov
ernnient, requesting them to use every honora
ble ellort to secure the extradition of Ueni and
Anderi-on, and the Adams' Express Company are
determined they shall come over if they are
guilty. The defendants, on the o'her hand,
have strong hopes ot proving au alibi.
EXTRAORDINARY LARCENY.
A Womaa la a Papar Collar Manufac
tory Defrauds bar Kmploysra out of
84000.
Tne New York Times of this rooming says:
A very remarkable ca-e ot err bczziement was
made public yesterday nt the Tombs Police
Court, bi loie Aldeiman Coman, when a lore
worn au employed in a paper collar manuiac.ory
was airaigned on a charae ot embezzlement. It
appears ftom the statements of the complainant
in the case that Messrs. Mersserole & Llbby
have been lor some time exiensively engaged iu
the manufacture of payer collars at their
j rem lets, Nos. 76, 78, and 80 Cenire street, and
rave had iu their employ, as forewoman
aud superintendent of the "patchmg-ro im,"
one Mrs. Poer, who bad under her direction
from bl'ty tj eighty girls, who placed in position
the small pieces of linen used io streugtneu ihe
button-boles of the collars. She had lull con
trol ot the girls, and on her recommendation
these operaiives were either engaged or dis
charged. Mrs. Poer kept a pa-s-Oook contain
ing the names ot tne girls uuuer her direc
tion, in which she en'ercd the amount
of work perlormed by each. These
girls '"patched" collars by piece-work,
receiving from sixty to eighty cents per
thousand, according to the demand for aud price
of collars in the market. When a girl had
"patched" say 1600 collars on a certa-u day the
forewoman would credit them with 2000 or over,
and at the end of the week, when tne operative
had drawn her money, she would be compelled,
under threat of discharge, to return the surplus
amounts to the forewoman, who, ot course,
made a considerable sum each recurring weekly
pay-day. She would also insert tne names of
girls who had been dischaiged from tue manu
factory in the pay-roll, aud induce certain d apes
t-t her own to step up and draw the money
ci edited to these discharged bands and surrender
the gteater pari lo Mr6. Poer.
The mm have been makine, as they supposed,
a large number of collars, and it was out v yes
terday, when an invoice of stock manufactured
bad been taken, that the Srui discovered that
they were out 2,383,353 collars, or rather, that
they nail paid lor tno pa cniug"ot that num
ber, w hen the work had uji been pertorinel
This was the lowest calculation that the uiciu
bers ot the firm could make, and they are not
yet sure that the amount embezzled does not
reach a higher sum than $1007 "50. that being
about what the missing number of collars
would have cost had they been honestly made.
The sum obtained by Mrs. Povr, through her
"dummy" operatives, cannot be well etimattd,
tbouch it is supposed to reach over S2000.
When a luriLer investieation was made in the
matter the girls employed in the "patchlug"
room laid bae thttir sbare of the trausactiou,
and the entile ramifications of this complete
system of embezzlement were matte maoifest.
Ihetc "uatcbini;" girls are all of lenuer aee. aud
the majority are without homes, relatives, or
mental tiainlnc, several of theoa being regular
inmates of the Girls' Lodging Houses, or the
working women b Home. ine nrm hascou
tinucd to keep nearly nil of them employed
throuchout the year, and truMed Mrs. Poer im
plicitly in the management of the details of her
department. Several girls who proved contu
macious regarding the money system inaugu
rated by the clear beaoed iorowomau were dis
charged on her representations of ill conduct
aud careless work; but iu many instances taeir
names were used by Mrs. Poer as a cover lor
reuewed embezaeinents.

Setat Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
WAsniroTon, Aug. 22. Though it bat not yet
officially transpired as to what are the special
objects ot General Rosecrans' mlsfion to Mexi
co, still tbe assertions are that he will, in the

authorities of that Itepublic as will be sufficient
to place it upon a firm basis. The report further
Is, that he will be tmpowered to give nivalis
slstance, if necessary, to carry out the plans of
the goterumeutal authorities. As it is at
present, Mexico is disorganized most completely
by internal factious, which are almost without
number. To destroy these, aud to harmonize
the people, are to be, if wo can trust current
report, the chief objects ol General Rosecrans'
mission.
