[From Friday's Daily.J
After weeks of preparation and advertising, the Notionals yesterday, gave their first grand "party picnic" at Lockport, and in the language of their organ, ft was "another 6coop.'r They scooped things from Terre Haute certain, for it •was the worst crowd of dead beats, bummers, prostitutes and scallawags, generally, that ever left Terre Haute, and that is a scoop of things, hard to beat.
At about eight o'clock yesterday morning a crowd was found at the C. & T. H. depol on First street, drawn there by the following card in the Express of the same morning:

By order of committee of arrangements. CAPT.C. W. ROSS, Chairman.
In addition to this, numerous "locals" have been scattered in the same columns for days past, setting forth the glorious pleasures to be enjoyed there.
Over a week ago Messrs Buff and Jabea Smith drove out there and selected the grounds—and heartily endorsed thp "Grand Rally." All their leading lights have been busy for days past in reading up and rehearsing their expected 'Mm promtu" speeches in readiness for the great occasion.
A band was engaged and at last they were off, and a motley crowd they were that made up the party, which numbered perhaps two hundred that took the train from here. There were nearly if not qll, the prostitutes of this city, and a crowd of males that were only fit to be in their company. Many of them were "of!" when the train started, and as their own organ says they were '-gambler®, bummers and prostitutes.",
A number of saloon men from here were along, also thirty kegs of beer for efreshment.
Arriving at the ground, after a short run, the crowd quickly began to develope itself and its peculiarities. A few boards •were soon in convenient shape, a number of beer kegs tapped, and the Notional business of the day was then begun,
The crowd was gradually increased by arrivals on foot and with teams from the city and surrounding country, until prob ably about three hundred persons were present
A dancing platform had been built in accordance with the plan-of enjoying "sylvan pleasures," and tripping the light fantastic, &c. It was tripped, for a fact, and quickly a crowd of the assembled hoodlums were engaged In a regular bagnio double shuffle.
Soon the Notional political questions '. of the day began to be discussed, whether the amount of greenbacks to be given to the people should be. three billions or unlimited, and whether the laborer should employ the capitalist or bimply hang him, and these
4
if
deep questions, began the trouble, for in less than an hour, half a dozen interesting fifh to were in full bloom and a big assortment were beginning to blossom.
The bother was that the whole crowd
of reformers present, including thefemales, had their own ideas on the subject. and all desired to explain their views =1 at ©nee. This completely spoiled the intended eloquent effusions of those model reformers, Scott, Buff,
Jabez Smith, and J. H. Allen, of the Express, who finding they couldn't get in a word edgewise, sat around on the fence and meditated upon the fickleness of political parties, especially on Notional foundations, and at last disconsolately folded their political blankets and stole silently away, leaving their assembled followers to enjoy themselves with their bats, their swings, their balls, &c.
And this the crowd did, for a fact. They swung their hands about lively, and batted the eye-balls of one another
in a wonderfully reforming manner. There were dozens of fights in fact, it was just one steady stream of fights, all the afternoon, including one between two females—a red-headed amazon from Tennessee, and one who probably had no positive idea where she was from. But they pounded and scratched each other's faces fearfully, until, in the language of Frank Trombley. who was the self appointed referee to see "fair fight," "they were too banged up to hold up their heads," and judging from their bloody clothes, that was about their condition. Yet not an arrest was made by the Notional constable and preserver ot the peace present, until at last he did find a chance to exhibit his official valor, on two little Republican boys, who in their hunger undertook to surruptiously obtain possession of astray lunch basket, and were caught. Then should that majestic official have been seen bouncing those two youths, the only arrests made by that official.
Another choice feature of "sylvan sports" intended "to 6uit the different tastes of the picnicers" was a wheel of fortune that was kept in a constant state of business all day, and at which two ot the Notional high chiefs are reported to have donated considerable loose change.
At last the hour for the train to leave was at hand and the drunken, bloody crowd, beer kegs (empty every one of them) got aboard and this ended the first "Gi ana Notional Mass Meeting, of the Campaign." .•••
Such was the "business" transacted at the grounds, at this "first grand rural rally with baskets &c," but the joke of the affair appears in this morning's Express in the shape of two cards—as follows
FROM MR. BROWN.
I hereby certify that the Lockport picnic was unauthorized by the executive committee.
W. H. BROWN.
FROM MR. ROSS.
I wish to state that my name was used without authority in connection with any such meeting as that which occurred at Lockport yesterday. Please publish this for me, and oblige.
C.W.Ross.
This is a very thin attempt by a "political" party to dodge its connection with one of their own rallies. It their "executive committee" of dark lantern proceedings didn't authorize the picnic how does it conr.e their chief priests were all announced to be there, to speak, and have been for weeks identified in all sorts of ways with it? Who are their executive committee any way, and do they need to be consulted to make a success of anything in their gatherings?
The card of C. W. Ross is decidedly "slick," to 6ay the least. He wishes to state that his name was used without authority for any such meeting as that which occurred. That may be, but now does C. W. Ross mean that he did not permit his name to be used to try and I jet up "A Grand Notional
Ma«9 Meeting, the first grand rally of the eeason" &c? Not very bad, he won't.
It was a "demnition," disgusting,dismal failure. Except for beer and fights, it was a succesb. It has awakened the farmers to the great danger that is is seriously threatening their peacetul neighborhoods, and it is reported they are arming themselves various parts ot the county, and will make united efforts with weapons, to protect themselves from these Notional, hoodlum, prostitute gatherings, that are liable to be called together in their neighborhood, greatly to the danger of their peacable sons,and respectable ladies, and of loss to numerous chickens, pigs, growing potatoes and bushels of
apples from their orchards. Deliver them from any more "Notional picnics and mass meetings" is their cry. They have seen what such a gathering is, and do not want any more of it.
These hard-working, reforming officeseekers, that have undertaken the contract to get themselves into office on new idea, will need to qnit the business, or get anew name. No more Notional rallies wanted.

Her Conscience Quickened by the Voice of Beecher.

"Confession the Only Balm for a Guilty Soul."
1 1 ,'t V- ~T New York, August 17.—The Sun says: Within a few days Mrs. Tllton has taken Bessie Turner into her house hold. The girl came to her with a pitiful story in her attempts to earn a living, ar.d the cold slander turned upon her by Beecher's friends.
THE CONFESSION"/
Mrs. Tilton explained to a lady friend how she came to make her last confes •ion. She went on Sunday to Plymouth church heavily veiled and took a seat in the gallery. No one recognized her, and but two or three persons knew she was there. The preacher was ignorant of her presence. He preached his powerful 6ermon on the downfall ofWm. C. Gilman, the forger, and the burden of his argument was that confession was the only balm for a guilty soul.
THE LECTURK AGENT.
Mrs. Tilton said that she had been annoyed by a lecture agent, who insisted upon her going into the field, guaranteeing her a fortune of $100,000 if she would consent. She refused to entertain any proposition of the kind. ..
HER HUSBAND.
She claimed that the subject of a union with her husband had never been broached between them, and asserted distinctly that she was more averse to Hving with him than he could possibly be. She did t.ot now feel that she was entitled to resume her relations as wife to bet Ktfsbind and mother to her children. She expressed aversion to entering into I

but intimated that she intended to prepare a history of her experience with Beecher and leave it to her husband's friends, to be made use of as they pleased after her death. y"

GRENADA.
Grenada, Miss., August 16.—The scenes in this plague stricken town for the past twenty-four hours beggar description. The strongest men and women and helpless children are sick, dying and dead. It is pitiful, indeed, to see entire families prostrated and swept away in a few brief hours. The official death list for the past twenty-four hours is seventeen. The population has decreased a little over two hundred whites. There are but few new cases—no material to work on. The deaths are all old cases. Mr. M. Fredman and wife, from New Orleans, enroute to New York, were pnt off the train this morning. Bo'h have cases of well developed yellow fever.
MEMPHIS.
Memphis, August 16.—The board of health raised the quarantine at this port this morning. Weather clear

committee of twenty-five citizens was appointed to take such action as is deemed necessary for providing a place of safety to 6uch of our people as are pecuniarily unable to do so without assistance. They requested Mayor Flippin to borrow $30,000 for the relief of the poor and needy. James Speed, ticket agent of the Memphis and Louisville railroad, has sold $315,000 worth of tickets since Monday noon. Nearly half the population has left the city.
Memphis, August 16.—Sixteen new cases of fever, and five deaths, from nine o'clock last night until nine to-night. Weather clear thermometer, 91 degrees.
NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, August 16.—Thcdeaths to-day include 12 children, 10 of them under 5 years. In answer to a question, Dr. Choppin, ptesider.t of the board of health, expressed the opinion that those who had previously had the yellow fever were in danger of taking it again, even though they had spent a summer or two away.
PORT EADS.
Port Eads, August 16.—Six new cases and one death since yesterdays report.
discussion, and deep sympathy was expressed. It was decided to give every possible aid to the afflicted cities, and Secretary McCrary's favorable response to Memphis was highly applauded by the president and cabinet. The postoffice department asks Surgeon General Barnes if he can suggest some scientific way of fumigating maUs, by w'.iich all danger of the transmission of yellow fever or other similar diseases can be avoided.
THE SCARE IN THE TREASURY. The yellow fever scare 1 the t-easu-y has not yet passed away, and the ladies in the redemption bureau feel very anxious. Precaution is taken to have packages of money fiom fever districts thoroughly disinfected.
NO FEVER AT LITTLE ROCK. Little Rock, August 16.—Passenger and freight trains are running through from St. Louis to Texas on the St. Loui6, Iron Mountain and Southern railroad. Therejare no signs of the fever here. The quarantine is strictly enforced. The passengers stopped two nights ago at the county line, on the Memphis road, are still there, permission being refused them to enter the city. The steamer Maumele, from Memphis, stopped twelve miles below the city this morning and turned back. Dispatches from Huston, Texas, state that there is no yellow fever there, private letters to the contrary notwithstanding.

VICKSBURG.
Vicksburg, August 16.—The health officer reports three new cases of yellow fever the past twenty-four hours.
THE FEVER AFLOAT.
Cairo, Ills Aug. 16.—The steamer Golden Rule, from New Orleans, was detained below the city until supplies were sent to her, when she proceeded up the Ohio without landing. John Blum, the cook of the boat died. Two others were sick, supposed to be yellow fever.
Delaware, Breakwater, Aug. 16.—The schooner Ida Lawrence, Capt. Alpheus Barrett,.from Saqua Le Grande, Cuba, for New York, putin here to-day with the entire crew, nine in number, either dead or down with the yellow fever. The only passenger, Isaac H. Warrington, of Camden, N. J., son of one of the owners, died at sea. His body is preserved in liquor. Yesterday two of the crew died and were buried at sea. To-day Capt. Barrett died. •!,',..'uC-1V^--iON THE WATCH. ,iv
New York, August 16.—Patrick William Riley, a horse shoer, arrived this morning, very sick, from New Orleans, which place he left on Monday. Yellow fever being apprehended, the health au thorities are closely watching the case.
HOW IT IS DISSEMINATED. The circular of instructions for the marine hospitals, prepared by Dr. Wood worth, relates the rapid spread of the yel low fever, declares land quarantine ineffectual, and maintains that the disease is spread by clothes and effects coming from infected districts, rather than bv the parties themselves. It moreover asserts that yellow fever patients never commun icate the disease, excepting through their clothing and effects.
CINCINNATI CgJABANTINED *f Cincinnati, August 16.—The health officer will issue a proclamation to-mor-row morning, declaring rigid quarantine against all boats from Louisville, and forbidding railroads from bringing passengers or certain specified articles of freight trom infected cities in the south, into
EVAN8VILLE QUARANTINED. Evansville, Ind., August 16.—At special meeting of the city council, to-day the board of health was instructed to rigidly enforce quarantine regulation. Tbe order will go into effect immediately.
LOUISVILLE HOSPITALITY. Louisville, August ^16.—--Many persons from yellow fever cities are arriving here. One thousand dollars was subscribed for the Grenada sufferers to-day. The Gait House announces nominal rates to those who are compelled to leave their homes, and if the number coming here continues so large all the hotels will do the same.
THE CABINET TALKS IT OVER. Washington, August 16.—The cabinet session, to-day, was very brief. Reports from southern cities stricken with the 1 yellow fever were .the subject of much •_ J-
AN INFECTED BRIG.
Pensacola, Fla., Aug, 17.—The American brig, Akbar, of Machias, Maine, from Cuba, reported off Pensacola bar with the mate dead, and the crew sick with the fever. As any pilot boarding her will be retained at quarantine until frost, they all refuse to bring her in, and it is probable the vessel will sail north.

THE FATALITY.
New Orleans, August 17.—New cases 73 deaths 27. Pittsburg, Aug. 17.—At a meeting of the board of health, this morning, it was decided to quarantine all boats and trains anivingfrom the south and west. Physicians will be stationed at Davis Island, seven miles below the city, and railroads at Sewickly and Mansfield, and will examine all trains and boats arriving and detain all persons fever, at

San Francisco, August 17.—Details of the confessions of Dye and Anderson are to the following eflect:
Dye had found the office of public administrator unprofitable, and had remarked occasionally, in jest, that he would have to kill some one to make it pay. The idea obtained a deep hold on his mind, and he took Anderson, ivhom he had for along time employed in his butcher shop, and another party, yet uuknown, into his counsel. Dye and Anderson charge each other with being the original tempter. They finally fixed on Tullis, as the victim. Dye had been his friend and neighbor tor twelve years, and knew the value of his property, and as Tulls, had never been communicative concerning his famly affairs, it was supposed he had no relatives to claim his estate. Over two months ago Anderson and an unknown party went to Tullis' place to put the plan in circulation, but their courage failed them. Dye urged the crime, persistently, and Anderson conceived the idea of murder by poison. A bottle of poisoned cocktails was prepared in a saloon, kept by Dye S Clarke, in Sacramento, and Anderson went to Tullis' ranche, ostensibly in search of work, and gave him the bottle. After a number of drinks were taken together from a bottle of good liquor he left for some reason. This plot miscarried. It was then decided that a bold work was required. A boat was built at Dye's house, Sacramento, and Andenon pulled it down the river, and was joined by a confederate below the city, and then proceeded to Tullis' ranche, and found him in the orchard, where they knocked him down with a sand bag and shot him in several places. This was on the evening of Thursday, the first inst, at 7 o'clock.
Dye, this evening, staid at his house in Sacramento till 8 o'clock, entertaining a visitor. He excused himself and took a buggy and drove down the river about sixteen miles, when he met the assassins at the place appointed, and drove them back to Sacramento. During the ride they related all the circumstances of the murder to Dye. The trio returned much under the influence of liquor. Dye says Anderson had revealed to him the crimes of his past life, including the murder of two sheep herders in the vicinity of Sacramento.
Dye's plan of realizing on the estate of Tullis was to compound with the creditors. His legitimate commissions would have been about $3,200. Dyes has always borne a good reputation, ^but patties now coming forward affirm that he was a bushwhacker during the late war, and pillaged and murdered indiscriminately. Neither is allowed to turn states evidence, and the district attorney is confident of the conviction of both.
A CONSCIENTIOUS CONSUL Pads, August 16.—D. B. Sickels, consul for the United States at Baugkok Siam, writes as follows: "I have finished my liquor raids, having closed over 300 establishments, formerly under American protection through license sold by my predecessor. To day there is not a single spirit shop within my consular jurisdiction.

A Careful Perusal Requested.
It should be remembered that the above diseases are of the most dangerous character, and though in many cases of THROAT, LUNG and CHEST Diseases, and particularly in Catarrhal affections, the individual may not at first be &o disabled as to render him unfit to attend to his usual occupations, the disorder slowly but surely progresses, until finally the sufferer has arrived at a condition when the utmost emff -ie cal science can only serve to smooihe hit pattiway to the grave. If, at the slightest symptoms of any disturbance in the Lung or Chest, or at the appearance Catarrh, persons would immediately place themselves under competent med ical treatment, many valuable lives now sacrificed might be saved. But in many cases a thousand causes comparatively trivial are permitted to induce sufferers to delay beiog cared for, the emergencies of business, the necessary expense, want of confidence in any particular practitioner, etc., etc., until indeed, the fatal mistake is irreparable, for the Angel of Death gives no time when his Disease, has marked his victim, 1 have frequently asserted, and again repeat, that all diseases of the Respiratory Organs, especially disorders of the Throat, and Catarrh, are radically Curable, cr so far capable of relief that all danger may, by prompt and careful .. attention, be removed.
