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

ten years since In the public schools.
For tne purpose oi raising iiiiioh b gmiiu iuir mis

lM)00was raised on that occasion. Shortly after
wards, those having cnarge oi ine maiier noveruneu
for plans for a monument, and atHiut liooo was ex
pended In this manner without any detlnlte result.
Lectures and Moral fairs were then given to raise
money, but the committee succeeded In losing by
them about t-400.
The monev on hand was men mvesten in iinucci
States securities, and after a lapse of time a move
ment was made during the present year to raise
mlditlonitl funds to obtain a statue oi asnington.
The statue was ordered, and after lis completion It
was found that a surplus of anout was on
hand. The statue Is finished, and has lieen fully paid
for, and about fou has been collected by the public
schools to help pay for a base for the statue. At the
concert recently given at the Academy of Music by
the public school children, to raise funds towards the
completion of the statue and base, alxuit $400 was
realized, ltciween huh .iu in mm un,

In height, and represents Washington standing by
the side of a pedestal, on which a book Is placed,
with Washington's right hand resting on it. The
left hand clutches the hilt of a sword. The face Is
modelled after Houdon, and the general effect of
the statue will lie very striking.
The hnse will be constructed or iiicnmonn granite.
and will consist of three separate blocks, the lower
one being 6 feet Inches square, and in all 10 feet in
height. ,
The entire neigni or tne statue, inciuuing me oase.

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.

Over forty clerks in tho Adjutant-General's

payment of soldiers' bounties and the settlement
of pensions. The force in the department is now

to-day will render it impossible to catch up. The

The IrlHh Church Clll.
By Atlantic Cable.
London, June 30. 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.

A Prince Tor a Ruler.
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. This man
had also a suit of uuiform and a sash, with the
letters I. It. on it.

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
