THE "WHITE MAK'S" CONVENTION.
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.

ware will live to regret their apathy yesterday,

(rneral Jordan's Keturo Condition of the
Revolutionary jUoveiiieut No Knelt of Men,
bnt Only t Annn.
General Jordan has arrived In New York from Ha
vana. The Herald has a report of a conversation
with the General, from which we extract as fol
lows :
"Will active military movements continue T"
"The rainy seasou is now uear at hand ; lis advent
will (orce the cessation of Spanish operations not so
much on account m the condition or tne roads as the
Inability of Europeans to stand exposure to altera its
rain ami summer sun wituoui isiai levers, l ua na
tives and even Americans from the United States do
not suMVr the same Inconvenience, aud many, there-
lore, take substantial advantage or the season
for operations aualust isolated Spanish posts, and
especially acaiiist their communication. Meanwhile
the Cubans are not idle. Leather is abundant In the
country, aud shoes arts being made to supply the
soiuiers, ana saddlery lor tne cavalry, iweu a low
good Kfiulut'ton carbines likewise have lieeu niauu
factum!. One of the most energetic oitlcers of the
Cuban service, Coruelio l'orro. lias been madl Guar-
terruasterand ComuitsHary-General a man of wealth
and irieal Influence )u the country, lie will develop
and render available its resource, which, nuderthH
previous v.-aut of system, were wasted with lament
able inriicniiou.
"How about the news sent here from Cuba?"
"All the reports net ailout by telegrams through
Havana of the rapid dissolution or true Cuba are
mere sli.illow Inventions. 1'resideut Cesnedes ha
lie idea of surrendering his post to Gabriel Fortuuo
crl.o anv ere else, even tne viceroy of Npatn. The
Cuban CongreM has not aiMitt-ated its powers.
Koscish columns may traverse tiin couutrv. and
fam lie may have to scatter and betaka themselves
to the woous for the time; but the substantial re
mits are very much tlie same as when a stone is
taut Inn) a pool a splash, a ripple for a luile whliv,
and tlu n all becomes quiet as befora. People lu the
Inlted hUin s have not been able, perhaps, to under
stand V. by It has been that If the people of Cun t
re generally cngngctl In the revolution no greater
advantages have been gained by the patriots lu thulr
opirailuiis."
"How aixtnt the emancipation of the negroes?"
we staked further, pursuing still our Interrogatories.
"'J hat a waiter 1 wlnn the public to fully uu ler
rtand. It has been denied, us I "e in the papers, by
senator ttumucr and others tnat the negroes In Cuba
bavebeeu set free. 'J lie statement of tnelr being
set free Is true. The Cubans have manumitted all
their slaves. Thsy have the Kara rights and privi
leges as the whites. They can vote equally with
the whites."
"Do you have any negro soldiers 1"
'Pleuty of them, and could have plenty more If
we bad arms for them. The negroes tight side by
side with the whites. A good many of the officers
are negroes. My own escort Is commanded by a
negro sergeant, and one-third of the men under him
are whites.
"What kind of arms have you 7"
"A little of all kinds; anything the men can get
hold of that will do any sort of service tn battle.
Some are very sorry-looking weapons. The barrels
of some of the muskets have to be tied to the stocks
to keep them from parting company."
"What Is the nnlorm ?''
"Of that medley class worn by FalstafTs recruits
at Gad's IlilL Everything Is alike in poorness, but
unlike In every other respect. Those who are not
nearly naked feel they have special cause for thank
fulness. The worst Is most or the men being with
out shoes, which Is a great detriment to marching."
"How about rations 7"
"The army subsists on the country. There Is
plenty to eat. Meat Is In abundance, as also fruits
and vegetables. Happily there Is no danger of
starving either now or in the future."
"How about pay 7"
"They receive no pay, and the only hope of any Is
In their achieving their Independence."
"What is the condition of the Spanish troops?"
"They have abundant arms, including, beside the
best ordinary military rifles and muskets, plenty of
Remington's breech-loading rifles, one of the best
arms ever placed In a soldier's hands. The worst
Is, all these came from the United States. My oaly
hope Is that I will get some Just as good to fight
againBt tnem. The npanlsh forces are also finely
uniformed, and, In fact, lack nothing soldiers could
possibly require, except pluck and fighting for a
good and worthy cause."
"Are all the stories true about their treatment of
prisoners 7"
"No story too bad could be told against them.
The will keen no prisoners. They massacre thm on
the spot. We have attempted to open negotiations
with them on the subject. It Is of no use. The
reply is. 'Kill all the prisoners you take: there Is
plenty men In Spain to take their places.' Our men
know that they must win a battle or die, aud they
fight accordingly."

The charge brought some time back against

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."

From tin London Standard, April 86.
The following memorandum is penned by one who
Is only too wen acquainted wiia an tne iacia or tne
dreadlul case 01 me muruers in ureece.
It Is due to the memory of the victims of this
dreadful tragedy Englishmen wno nave been mur
dered in a foreign country that the following points
nhould be clean? understood :
hirst. That the exps.ition fo Marathon was undertakes
with lb. full know lot! Re and consent of the Greek Gov
ernment, under the formal protection of an esoort, and
even, as tLere is reason to believe, with the aiuurauoe that
such protection was unnecessary.
riecoad. That the capture of the whole party occurred
within a ven lew miles of ihen. and that wnen it bad
so tsken place the means of ransom to the laat farthing
were iuimedudely fortuooining, without r.lerence to tb
lrem oovernnieoi.
Third. That the Greek Government were distiuctly
warned that any employment uf force against the brigands
would be followed by the massacre of the prisoners, aad
that they gave a solemn promise, which was oommuni
vattd to the pngands, that they should not be molested.
rturth. 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. The
Grc.k Government refused lliis on apparently frlvolou4
grounds: but, assuming that their objection to it was
reasonable, it was at least a matter for further considera
tion. My attacking the brigands the Greek Govereuent
destroyed all chance of success, and are thus now wliwlly
. and solely accountable to tne ungiiaa people.

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.

THE N. V. MONK V MARKET YliSTEUOAV
From the N. Y. Herald,
"The advance in the rates of foreign exchange led
to more activity In the Gold Room, and the price of
gold advanced to 114, between which figure and
114 It was steady ail day. The few operators lu
gold have the market to themselves for the present,
as the stock market absorbs just now the specula
tive interest of the street. It la tne linpreHsion that
the firmer ruling of gold to-day was assisted hy some
of the stock cliques, with a view to helping their
railway Investments, on which a decline lu gold
set iiih to m ilect inevitable dullness, if nut weakucss
and heaviness.
"The Government list was heavy at the earlier
boards, as a sequence of the largn sales yesterday,
but Improved with the advance lu gold, lUtuougli
the amount of business was below tne average.
This department of Wall street feels the general
diversion of Interest to the railways and miscella
neous shares, which are so active at the Stock Kx-t-iiange.
The purchases are therefore almost wholly
for Investment, and made by private Individuals
and some of the moneyed corporations. The market

GENERALITIES.
Incident of the Klehmonet Calamity.
Professor Dews, a well-known violinist of Rich
mond, at the time of the catastrophe was standlug
In the wide avenue leading from the Governor's
house, somewhat near the monument. lie heard
the crash of the falling timbers, and saw the clouds
of dust rising from the windows, ana then the
shrieks of the wounded and dying.
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.
