J'pley Account of the Delaware Flzxle Nhame fulAonthy of the White Men -No Convention Held. For several weeks past, eays the Wilmington Commercial of last evening, a call has been before the people of this State for a State Mass Convention of white men to organize a "White Man's Party" which should absorb all the De mocracy and that large number of Republicans that Democrats believe to be lying around loose outside their party. The convention, it was said, was to be held at Dover, and bills announcing the fact were sent to two of the anti-Baulsbury Democrats there, to be put up, but said bills are believed to be, as yet, peacefully slumbering in the desks of the gentlemen aforesaid, and Dover has not, to this day, had official notice of the honor intended to be conferred upon her. The gentlemen interested in the proposed convention, expecting to have all the "White lieu" of the State nocking to Dover, urged the railroad to make suitable preparations for carrying the Lost, and the company accordingly issued half tickets, put extra cars on the moru ing train down, and issued orders for the after noon train, which stops at Harrington, to con tinue on to Seaford; all this that the accouche ment of the new party might come off com fortably and with eclat. The train started from Wilmington with three enthusiastic "white men," without regard to party, and one enthusiastic "Democrat, with out regard to color, who proclaimed himself a looker-on. New Castle contributed another delegate. At Middletown it was expected that a large delegation would come on, and everybody's bead was out of the window looking for the waiting throng of white men. When the train stopped one individual quietly stepped on, and t hat was all. This was surprising; nay, alarming. The Middletown Democracy have, for years, had but one cause for pride and congratulation, and that was that thev "weren't niggers." and if they failed to respond to such a call, who would respond ? Well, there's hope in Townsend ! let ns wait till we get to Towusend. Samuel, of that name, is the Grand Mogul of the new movement, and he will bring a crowd. The train stopped, and our venerable friend Samuel and his brother John and auolher man get aboard. "Only this and nothing more." "Things is serious now," and the nine white men look into each other's eyes with alarm but stop ! there is yet hope. Smyrna lies ahead of them, and has not all the white flesh of Smyrna been made to creep by the extracts recently read there from a French book by Senator Bayard ? Smyrna will doubtless do its duty. The train stops and one man gets on to represent Smyrna and Clayton too. This completes the delegates, and nobody eays anything for a mile or two. Somebody suggests that the upper portion of the State is no longer much of a place for raising peaches, and all the "delegates" doubtless quietly think with a bitter pang that it is a poorer place still for raising white men, and say "wait till the train from down country comes." We all get to Dover, and a curious crowd of boys is at the depot to see the ghostly array of white men, nominees expecting to see a proces sion uniformed in winding sheets. Seeing ten men in ordinary garb get oil, the juveniles turned away disgusted. Dover wore its usual Sunday-like aspect, and the imperturbable culm was not disturbed by the convention. It appeared that all the Demo crats had concluded to stay in tuelr nouses, and this of course left the streets of the town almost deserted, as the group of white men went quietly along, painfully couscious of the fact that many a pair of eyes were looking through the blinds at tnem. The ) lawarian ofllce had out no banners. the State House doors were not open, Governor Sanlsbury did not make his appearance on the streets, and brother Ell quietly watched the thing from his den on the corner of the State House, while not an ex-member of the Legisla ture was to be found in the town. Presently the train from below arrived, and with it from thirteen to fifteen more "white men," and that was all. The fifteen looked at the ten, and the ten looked at the fifteen, and then all looked at Sam I ownsend, and then all gazed on tne ground Presently some bold man said, "Let's go home," and as soon as opportunity ottered tuey went. And thuB cuded the White Man s Con 7ention at Dover. Sam TownEend savs the white men of Dela ware will live to regret their apathy yesterday, CUBA.

The charge brought some time back against the ex-tjueenof Spain of carrying off a part of the crown je sels will, says a Parts Journal, be remem bered. A discussion which took place afterwards In the Cortes showed the accusation to be un founded, and the only resources which her Majesty possessed were her private family jewels, and a sum of about 10,000,000 of francs lodged in the Bank of England, ana saved irom tne allowance made by the Spanish Government to the Prince of the Asturlas. The Memorial Diplomatique, reverting to the above subject, says: "We regret to learn that U.ueen Isabella, seeing her resources diminish dally, has been forced to effect retrenchments In her already modest mode of living, and that if her son is not restored to the throne or Spain her Majesty will before long be In so precarious a position that the Emperor aud Empress of the French will be under the necessity of allowing her a pension."

That, false to this promise, the Greek (iovern meat did send .or allow to be sent, troops, who surrounded the brigands, and lb as deliberately .ruvoked the mas Filth. We know that an amnesty was a vital point with the brigands, anal would have saved the prisoners.

Congressional Junketings. Special Dttprntch to The Evening TelegrmpK WAsniNOTON, May 7. Nearly all the mem bers of Congress are out of town to-day, on ex cursions of various sorts. A larpje number have trone to Richmond, N orfolk, and other points of Interest in Virginia. General Bntler writes that he will be here early next week, when a meeting of the Reconstruction Com mittee will be held to consider the Georgia bill. Butler will report it as early as possible. It is thought the committee will reject the Senate bill and report the original House bill as a sub stitute, with what is known as the Williams amendment. Tho Revenue Reduction. The Secretary of the Treasury Is of the opin ion that the amount to which the Senate Finance Committee propose to reduce the internal reve nue taxation is too great, and that with the pro- Sosed reduction in the revenue from import uties falling off, i,t will cripple the revenues of the Government. The thirty million reduction proposed by the Ways and Means Committee with twenty-three million reduction on tariff is as much, Boutwell thinks, as his exchequer can stand at present. The Senate proposes to cut off of the internal revenue seme forty-seven millions. Civil Service BUI. Mr. Jenckes calculates that he will get about fifty votes in the House for his Civil Service bill. The vote against laying it on the table last Thursday was not a true indication of its strength, as members preferred to let him have a fair show in debate before killing his bill. It will be defeated by a large majority. FROM EUROPE. Thla Moraine's Quotation. London. May 711 A. M. Consols for money. 94; and for account, MX. American securities quiet; U. 8.

The question of Usance and the tariff are ths important questions of ins Hour, ana are also eminently oi mis cliar antr. Ttie commercial people of the land are weary of the con stant experimenting at Washington uoon these questions. and ask for oia sound, fixed volley, under which busi ness may resume its acoustomod cnannels.

The duty of our own rupreseotativrs, as fur as our State is concerned, is plain and unmistakable. Tho coin want f the (iovernment amounts to forty eight "er cent, of the liniHirtatlous. Our representatives aoould demand far Pennsylvania, upon her products , the full share of tue percenters which this nceaa:ty secures. The rocent Ccngi essional action reducing the doty on nig-iron to five dollars per ton was uojut in that it does not give to our Mute that which in simple justice was ber due. Imported pig ii on last year was laid down at an average coat of flttper ton in gold. Take 44 per cent, as the proper duty under the necessities of t-e (iovernment. ana nine dollars, instead ot hv .snuul.t have been the rate, hurely, therefore, the recent action of Congress discriminates unfairly against this most im portant interest.

The effect upon him was to pro duce paralysis of the left side. The correspondent of the Petersburg JnCex, who relates this Incident, says the Professor ' weighs two hundred pounds, and is neither excita ble nor very Imaginative. Tne same correspondent adds: Old lawyer Cannon, one of our most vene rable and wortiiv citizens, was paralyzed, and Is now confined to his bed. lie had been before lu this condition, however; but none of these cases seem soBtrunge as this where a person, neither seeing nor being told what had happened, at once realized it In all of Its shocking deta Is. A Hlnaulnr Case. The following case of suffocation comes from Portland, Me. : "A few evenings since the family of Mr. Charles Rolf, Jr., consisting of himself, wife, and one child, , rt siding en Portland street, narrowly escaped suffo cation by gas from a coal stove. The child had been plating snout the room, and, unobserved, shut the damper to the stove, thus preventing the gas from escaping np the chimney. Just before retiring Mr. Rolfe ailed th? stove with new coal, but did not notice the condition ef the damper. They retired, snd the escaping gas soon completely stupefied them. When they returned to consciousness Mr. aud Mrs. Rolfe both found themselves prostrate on the floor, and had been vomiting violently and blood was oozing from their noses. The child was still sleeping on the bed. They found a window open whicn was closed when they went to bed, but neither remembered raising It. They thought they had slept the nsual time, but on going to the store for hla morning's milk he fouud they had slept until nearly tdx o'clock the next evening about twenty-two hours Fortunately, no serious effects have re sulted." Is Whisky Intoxteatln f Yesterday a coal-heaver who has attained to the patriarchal age of seventy-four years, after carrying a half ton of coal up three nights of Btairs, was in vited by his employer to take a drink In a New York saloon. After Imbibing, Uo remarked : "There's no strength to the whisky round here." "How so 7" Inquired the gentleman. '-Sure, I've hail about thirty drinks of the crather In me this morning, and tllvil the whimper of it do I feel now." "Good heavens l how much does It take to affect you 7" "Such stuff as thev have In this country, I conld drink a gallon of it without taxing me a bit. I'd rather have drop ol old pot hue u at home' tnan a demijohn of the whisky lu these parts." The bar-tender overheard these remarks and Jokingly offered to give him a pint of whisky If be soiild drink it all ou the spot. The coal-heaver eagerly consented, and it was measured out and poured down by htm at a single breath, to the horror ot the witnesses. The phenomenal toper went out as straight as a liberty pole, aud In the course of an hour returned apparently sober, aud desirous of trying It again.
