Condition of Coxeyism.
These are not prosperous days for the
physical part of the Coxey movement.
and even if its soul is marching on it
is more than most people suspect.
Coxey, Browne and Jones now. appear
before the people as common Violators
of the law. Their Quixotic charge on
the Capitol grounds was the climax of
the absured march to Washington, and
it is pleasant to know that the law does
not propose to discriminate as between
them and other malefactors. _ .
In addition to this, the health authori-
ties have. found it necessary to pay an
Official visit to the Cdxey camp and pro-
nounce it a diSease-bresding spot. . Its
sanitary condition is such that it is like-
ly to. ‘ ‘cause all forms of contagious and
infectious diseases,” and the plague
spot will be vacated by order of the
health department.
The situation as to the other branch;
es of the so-called Industrial army is
no less unsatisfactory. “General Ran-
dall, of the Chicago branch, and two
of his lieutenants were locked up in La-
porte, Indiana, for violating a city ordi-
nance, and demoralization seems to
have struck the Christopher Columbus
Jones division in Pennsylvania.
As for the division under “General”
Sweetland, which was routed by a Single
mounted policeman in upper New York,
it certainly is in no condition to sway
Congress. The Sanders banditti has
seized a train in (3010me, but that can-v
not be said to have battered its condi-
tion any. . «. .
Altogether, Coxeyism maybe said to
be confronted by a condition and not a
theory. . .. .

The memorable Democratic National
Convention of 1860 convened at Charles-
ton on April 23d. The long pent up
murmurings at the North against slav-
ery and the arrogant slave power grew
in volume and intensity, until their
august culmination in the nomination
of Lincoln atChicago. The lightning
flashes and reverberating thunders and
threats of the dominating pro-slavery
power at the South, reached their log-
ical climax at the Carolina Convention
convened just 23 days prior to that in
Illinms. At'the North, Wendell Phil-
lips, Henry Ward Beecher, Wm. Lloyd
Garrison, James G. Birney, Gerret
Smith and others on the platform, With
Seward of New York, Sumner of Mass-
achusetts. Hale of New Hampshire and
Gillett of Connecticut in the Senate;
Giddings of Ohio, Lovejoy of Illinois,
Grow and Wilmot of Pennsylvania in
the House among others, were known
and read of all men as uncompromis-
ingly hostile to the spread and even
existence of slavery. More than that
the issuance and wonderful influence
of that marvelous book, Uncle Tom’s
Cabin, then Chas. Dickens’ American
Notes, Helper’s book, with the crown-
ing though insane assault on slavery
by John Brown at Harper’s Ferry, be-
came “confirmations strong as proofs
of holy writ.” to the South, that all
men north of Mason’s and Dixon’s line
either were, or were first becoming,
frantic Abolitionists.
People at the North became equally
exasperated over the foul and murder-
ous efforts to force slavery into Kansas ;
waxed bitter:over the Dred-Scott decis-
ion; felt outraged at every attempt of
a slave-owner to re-take his human
property in a free state; furious when
the fugitive slave Anthony Burns was
chased through the streets of Boston,
captured, shackled. and. uarded by
police and military and so ely prisoned
on shipboard, to‘ be carried back to
slavery. '
The murderous assault on Sumner in
his seat in the Senate by Preston S.
Brooks; the supposed intent of Keitt
to assassinate Galusha A. Grew in the
House, because of his vigorous cham-
pionship of a free state constitution for
Kansas; with many Similar exhibitions
of the “brutality of slavery” fast filled
the northern mind with bitter hatred
of everything connected with “the twin
relic of barbarism.”

Stabbing Affray.
A serious stabbing afi'ray occurred in
Benton & Weed?s livery stable, Dan-

Winfield Johnson, colored, stabbed a
hostler named William Stillson. The

converted hlm to a Douglassite on the
spa .
Caleb Cashing was President of the
Convention. Benjamin F. Butler, Fer-
nando. Woodyand J ohn Cochran were
ardent champions of Jefferson Davis as
the National Democracy’s Presidential
nominee; John A._Logan was the in-
tense and indefatigable advocate of
StepheuA. Douglass. Every delegate
was distinctly for or against Douglass.
He was therepresentative of the “pop-
ular sovereignty” doctrine in regard to
slavery, which was to that‘institution
the Connecticut delegate, chanced to,
but the narrative continues that be
practically what [our “local option”;is
to the liquor question. Douglass had
from the outset a conceded majority pf
the Convention, but could not over-
come the two-thirds requirement, neelif
ed to get the nomination. The Sou _,
bitterly assailed him as an abolition ft
and threatened if it were attemptedfio
put his popular sovereignty heresies
into the platform, they would instantly
withdraw and break up the Convention.
Ben. Butler andJohn Cochran he
at one time been touched with “Free-
Soilism,” but had repented before
reaching Charleston and Butler, by
way of doing works meet for repent-
ance and reinstating himself in the
confidence of the fire-eaters, voted
thirty-three times consecutively for
Jeff. Davis. He prepared and offered
an adroit resolution completely dodg-
ing the popular sovereignty idea. so
offensive to the South and against
which they stood out in open rebellion.
Still. Douglass to the end remained the
pivo’al personage Of the Convention.
“Nounfriendly legislation shall ex-
clude our property from any territory
of the United States,” shouted one
delegate. “No man who favors any
restrictions upon slavery can be t e
nominee of this Convention,” howled
another. “Must we throw Douglass as
a bone to appease abolition Democrats
at the North? No sirs! We of the South
will none of it,” roared another with
Indian war-whoop volume and ferocity.
‘The Douglass men vainly sought to
press as a compromise the leavmg of
the whole question of extending slav-
ery into the free territories to the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court. This prop-
osition was howled down with still
more frantic and derisive yells, ard
many delegates began to stampede
from the Convention, when Merrick of
Illinois jumped to his feet _and With elo-'
quent pathos plead with his heated and,
embittered fellow Democrats as follows;
“I find star after star madly shooting
from the Democracy. Does it'presage
thathereafter star after star Will shoot
from the galaxy of the Republic? If
the American Union to become a frag-',
ment and a parcel of sectionalRepub-
lics?”—He got no further; his vaice
was drowned by the shriek of afire-
eater, (as extreme southerners delight-
ed in being called,) who said—“The
Union be d———d. We standby the.
Constitution and our rights.” 011 could
not be made to mix with water. Such
diverse and angry antagonisms could
'not be harmonized. An effort to re.
adopt the Cincinnati platform of 1856
was the test of the South’s loyalty to
slavery. There . and then, seconsron
was inaugurated, and the Southern del-
egates while clamoring for a Constitu-
tional re-assemblage, seceded from and
broke up the Convention, as at a later
period, they tried to break up the
Union. _
On May 3d, or the tenth day of the
Convention’s session, the “Rump”_re-'
mainder‘ as the fire-caters christened
it, adjourned to meet in Baltimore
early in June.
Constitutional Union Convention met
and nominated John Bell. The Na-
tional Union Democratic Convention
met at Baltimore June 19th and nomi-
nated “The Little Giant” Douglass,
after remaining in session a week. The
seceders or fire-eaters, held their Con-
vention at the same time in Baltimore
and nominated John C. Breckinridge
on the Jeff Davis platform of here-
strictions upon slavery, and govern-
ment protection to the introduction of
slaves into new free states. The Dem-
ocratic split'knocked out'Douglass, gave
Bell Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennes-
see, robbing Breckinridge of three
slave states and giving the election to
Lincoln who carried every Northern
state except forlorn New Jersey, and
Whose platform was the-gospel of the
Declaration of Independence that “all
men are created free and equal”. Of
electoral votes, Lincoln had 180,Breck-
inridge 72, Douglass 12, Bell 39.
Connecticut gave a majority of 10,056,
and Norwalk a. majority of 371, for
Lincoln and Hamlin.

.A—n ltalian Attempts to Cut Oliverf
Laramie Duringa Quarrel on
Main Street.
d 'Has Lived in Norwalk Two Years
' and the Police lee Him a Bad
Record.
Some time ago’ an Italian named
John Christiah insulted the sister of
Oliver Laramie. The latter saw Chris.
tian and told him that he would get in-
.to trouble if be repeated the offense.
Christian evidently remembered the
occurrence, as on Wednesday when
.Laramie went to Winnipauk to see the
N orwalk Street Railway improvements
he was accosted by Christian, who was
working in the ditch. As he addressed
Laramie in Italian the latter did not
understand what was said and when-he
told John so he advised him to go to
school, at the same time pushing up
against him. Laramie pushed him_ofi'
and walked away. Thursday evening
as Laramie was walking down Main
street Christian ”again addressed him.
and a quarrel soon began, which. ended
in the Italian kicking Laramie and
getting knocked into the street in re-
turn. He again made for Laramie and
was again sent into the street. As he
gathered himself for another attack
Christian drew a murderous looking
knife and started after Laramie who
was walking down the street With his
back turned to the Italian.
A warning cry caused him to turn
and avoid the knife. Officer Bartram
came along at this juncture and placed
both combatants under arrest and took
them to police headquarters. .Here
Ofiicer Morehouse recognized Christian
as the Italian who some time ago cut
Frank Savador during a quarrel and
escaped arrest by leaving town. He
also answers the description given of
the man who has been insulting ladies
on the street for some time past and
for whOm the police have been making
strenuous efforts to capture.
In‘, order to give Grand' Juror Hoyt
time‘, to thoroughly investigate Thurs-
day i'night’s quarrel and endeavor to
identify the prisoner with the one who
has seen insulting ladies, he was taken
to tlle lockup by Captain Dann and his
case will be heard before Justice Aus-
tin at 3 o’clock this afternoon.
