St ' "' x THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA.. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1869. CIXI iWTELHttEWCE. EQOCRACY. THE COUNTY CONTENTION. Tho rrocodlinffs To-cluy. Tlorc Characteristic Scenes. The County Convention of the "Unterrtftcd" met again thin morning at 1 c'ock. at Wash ington Hall, Eighth and Spring Garden (streets. Long before that hour groups of excited Indi viduals congregated around the building, and from the number of blackened eyes and braised faces, the struggle of the two preceding days was evidently one of no trifling, kind, and tho tlstinguishcd honor of being a county delegate was not In such Instances so easily obtained. There was much comment as to the action of the preceding day. both in this and tho City Convention, and the course pursued bv Philip Lowry, Jr., was very generally condemned, that ecntloman having published the following card in the morning papers, which created no little sensation. A "Mob" Convention. Mr. Lowry stated his grievance in tho follow ing language: "Notice To my Democratic Friends, Delegates to the Democratic County Convention: "Having been elected President of the convention three times, and being refused permission to preside, by what may be funtly termed a mob, I request Joint action In abstaining from any further acknowledg mentof this convention nntll honest delegates be permitted to exercise their rights. "Philip Lowry, Jr". Making the BcHt of n llnd Itargaln. There was considerable ludignatlon expressed at this publication, It being urged that Mr. Lowry beat himself" for President by his Indiscretion and imperturbability of temperament. Further more, that during the balloting Mr. Lowry was In great glee as long as he was ahead, of Mr. Leech on the count, but that when the latter passed him on the tally, Mr. Lowry, in a tone of indignant despair, endeavored to make the best of a bad bargain by withdrawing from the contest. "Committee on Order." Abas Mrii' o'clock President Leech took the chair, ana appealed to the convention to pre serve order In their deliberations. All things would be conducted with regularity and fairness, and he called on the "Committee on Order," ap pointed yesterday, to see that delegates were seated, the windows cleared, and the peace pre served generally. The committee consisted of the following named persons: Messrs. Robert Lister Smith, Samuel J. Josephs, William McMuIlln, Frederick Gerker, Clifford White, llaycs, and Joseph Abrams. The committee at once set to work, and in a fchort time the delegates were seated, and good order maintained. It wits understood that the settlement of contested seats was the first busi ness in order, and the committees were then an nounced in the respective cases. These in turn retired to hear testimony in the several cases entrusted to their keeping, and whilst they were deliberating no business was transacted. The election divisions contested are as follows: The Fourth division of the First ward; Third, Eighth, and Fourteenth divisions of the Second ward; Sixth of the Fifth; Sixth of the Sixth; Twelfth of the Seventh; Fourteenth of tho Seventh First of tho Tenth; Sixth of the Four teenth; Fifteenth of the Ffteenth; Eighth of tho Nineteenth; Tenth of the Twentieth; Nineteenth of the Twentieth; and Seventh of the Twenty tixth.

SptriaX Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, June 30. Among the dis charges in the Treasury Department made by Mr. Tullock is Francis Do llaes Janvier, of Philadelphia, author of the "Sleeping Sentinel" and of other patriotic poems. This action on the part of Tullock excites much indignation among all classes here. Janvier was known as a strong Republican, and his friends are astonished that he should be dismissed, while a largo number of bitter Copperheads and Johnsonizcd Republi cans are retained. It is said that Tullock had some personal feeling against Mr. Janvier. Vlrslnla Politics. A member of tho Virginia State Central Re publican Committee states that tho conserva tive or Wulker men arc busy trying to buy up negro votes. Money is understood to como from New York, and la supplied by Democrats. There are many negroes, of course, who havo taken money, but they say they will vote tho Wells ticket when the election day comes. More DlMiiilNaala. Over forty clerks in tho Adjutant-General's office received a notice to-day that their services would be dispensed with after to-morrow. They are to have one month's leave of absence, with pay. This will result in delaying yet more the payment of soldiers' bounties and the settlement of pensions. The force in the department is now behind with this work, and the reduction made to-day will render it impossible to catch up. The result will bo increased business for tho sharks called claim agents who hang around tho depart ments.

Last evening the House of Lords went into committee on the Irish Church bill. Earl Denbigh opened the debate in a long speech, wherein he defended tho Irish Catholics from the cliargo heretofore made of indifference to the question of disestablishment. He affirmed that the Irish regarded it as au act of justice. Earl Grey moved to amend the preamble of tho bill in some slight particulars. Earl Granvillo opposed the proposition for concurrent endowment, and considered it alto gether impracticable. The Bishop of Oxford regnrdcd the disestab lishment ns already fixed, but thought, however that a portion of its funds ought to be secular ized. After providing for the Church, the reli gious necessities of other bodies ought to be aided. The Marquis of Salisbury supported tho prin ciple of clerical endowment in a long speech. After a long discussion Earl Grey withdrew his opposition, and the consideration of the pre amble was postponed. Earl Carnarvon moved the substitution of the words "1872" in the thirteenth clause, in place of "1871," as the dato of disestablishment of the Irish Church. Much discussion ensued, and at length the Lords divided, and, the amendment was carried for, 130; against, 74. Clauses from Noe. 2 to 12 inclusive were then agreed to without discussion, and the House adjourned. EnRliHh Rare.

It was the late Mr. MeGee who started the idea that a member of the Royal family should be Viceroy of Canada, and Martin Tuppcr fol lowed it up with nseries of songs in favor of a f nncc as our ruler; out tne iaea appearau to have died out, when suddenly, in connection with the proposed visit of Prince Arthurfto this country, it is proposed that ho snail remain as ruler, in some shape or other, of tho British North American Confederation. Tho thing (Jis perfectly absurd; the argument is that we need a permanent Governor, and yet this Koyal strip ling would be selected for snch a position. Keally loyalty is becoming a strange tiling, it it lends people to advocate the selection of a ruler for the Dominion, no matter now unfitted no may be. so that royal blood runs in his veins. The voice ot tne people is against anytuing ot tne kind, and Prince Arthur will be permitted to come hither without any desire to make him either Viceroy or King. He will meet with a right hearty welcome for his mother's sake, but no one will surely make a serious proposal that he shall take up his permanent residence, with the view of swaying a sceptre over tho New Do minion. Odaira (Canada) Correspondence. Troubles In AlralaNla Native Incited to Mar. A Mr. McKay writes that the Fenians have been stimulating insurrection among the native Haulms. He reports: First of all, it was said that these persons were of a different nation from tho English or Scotch, and were of the same people us shot tho Queen's son in Australia; that it tho Hauhus give them over the laud, they would give t'l per man, a share of the proceeds, and would keep away all other Europeaus, and assist the natives against the government. While this was being stated to tho natives, another man came up and gave tho natives a flag, and that flag was sent on to the King's place at To knngntmitu by a native named John. The same party had certain books, witli plates and en gravings representing different things which have taken place nt home and in the Australian colonics within the last few years.

A despatch has just been received hero from Baltimore, stating that the Secretary of War, Rawlins, will surely bo present at the dedication on to-morrow; and that there is ft probability likewise of the pre sence of General Grant. The latter is in Balti more to-day, and Congressman Ferry, who is here, appears to speak positively when he says the President will come. The Committee of Ar rangements, however, having no informatloiron the point, consider it extremely doubtful. Trains are constantly arriving filled with pas sengers, but bringing ns yet no persons of note. A rude sort of street railway to the sprlnjs has opened this morning, and a couple of cars brought from Washington attempted to run on the track. It was so badly laid, however, that It has proved more a source of merriment to the crowds than of profit o convenience to tho people. Governor Morton and Henry Ward Beeohcr arc here.

TRAGIC DUEL. AFIulit to the Death Between Women In Vir ginia Jenloimy the Caime One of the Com. batanta Choked to Death. The Richmond Dispatch ot yesterday morn ing prints the following: One of the most extraordinary murders that it has ever fallen to the lot of Virginia journalists to chronicle was committed in Henrico county on Sunday last. It was a duel, in which two negro women were the belligerent parties, and oi which j calousy was tne moving cause. There was a man in the case. Ho was one George Gills, a gay and festive field-hand, who, though possessing a dark skin, rejoices in the reputation of a Lothario of the first water. Until a lew months ago Julia .un urns, who lives on a neighboring plantation, was the happy posses sor ot his affections, and although never united by the parson, they were living together, in the slavery fashion, as man and wife. Like most married people, they were supposed to bo happy in tho connubial relation, until one black day when the shining star of Ella Woodson arose upon George's horizon, and this sable beauty won his heart, and he a naughty man fluDg t other one s away. - THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER. To cut a sad story short, George's amatorial advances culminated in the desertion of Julia, his first love, and his taking up with Ella, whoee heart he soon had gained. ' Jealousy was rife between tho two women. They backbit each other, they sneered, they "jawed," they quarrelled, they threatened, and, finally, they fought it out ou a line rather new in the his tory of female pugilistic encounters. A C1IAI.LF.NGE PASSED. On Sunday morning Julia's wrath boiled over, and, no longer able to restrain her temper, she went over to the "nrgro quarters" on Colonel Knight's place, and, standing at the door, boldly challenged her rival to a fair fight, with nobody to interfere. Ella promptly took the gauntlet up, and together they went to tho duelling ground, without the seconds or surgeons who generally accompany more civilized persons engaged upon such murderous errands, THE FIGHT BEGINS. The spot chosen was a deep ravine, a long distance from any dwelling-house, und com pletely hidden from tho view of persons who travelled by tho ordinary country roads. Each woman had a good stout walking-stick, with which they were to fight, though the use of teeth, fists, feet, and finger-nails was not inter dicted by their code. Side by side they walked into the glade, and then, without a moment's parley to agree upon distance and signals, they Hew at one another with tho fury of enraged wild-cats. Sticks were soon abandoned as un wieldy and requiring too long a rango to be of U3c, and then the combatants closed in, armed only with tho weapons God had given them for defense. HORRIBLE. They wrestled a moment in silence one woman, with nil the hate of an outraged wife babbling to her finger-ends, and the other burn ing with jealousy and fighting for lifo itself. Presently they fell to the ground. Ella, though the stoutest and strongest, was beneath. By some means one finger of her antagonist's hand got between her teeth, and she bit it to the bone. DEATH, AND WHAT FOLLOWED. Then came the death struggle. With her other hand, which was free, Julio, as she admits, managed, in spite of all resistance, to choke her antagonist until tho breath left her body. This done, she relinquished her hold, and her dusky rival lay dead at her feet. The murderess enjoyed but for a moment the wicked sweetness of revenge. A sense of her crime and dread of punishment induced her to give the prostrate form one last blow, to make sure that no tales would be told by those Icy lips, and then the dragged it towards the ditch, hoping to hide it from human sight. But this design was frustrated by a negro, who, happen ing to take a 6hort cut through the woods on his way to church, was horror struck by the sight of a wild-looking woman drugging a corpse through tho briery undergrowth in the ravine below him. He gave tho alarm at once; and upon his information the ucgress who committed the murder was spoedily arrested. BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. A jury of Inquest, summoned by order of Jus tice Woodworth, viewed the body on yesterday morning. Julia made her appearance before the Coroner und acknowledged the commission j)f the bloody deed, and au uccouut of the dr- cumstanccs attending It: but claimed that it was perpetrated in self-defense. The jury found that the deceased, Ella Woodson, came to her death from wounds nnd bruises received at tho hands of Julia Ann Gills. Tho accused was broueht to town and lodzed In a cell at the jail, where she will remain until next Saturday, when her caso will bo fully in vestigated by a court of magistrates.
