demonstration. The interior of the
Academy of Almlc was magnificently
decorated ; coats of arms of the various
states being placed around iho galler

description flaunting irom cornices and
pillira. On the sta tuspended from
a drop curtain , was a very fine paint

Henry Watteraon , of tbe Louisville

Is not necessary to etigmat za the re
cord of the republican candidate for
the presidency. That Ju < 'gJ black's
objection that never so gooi a man
could make so bad a politician is suffi
cient to defeat him if properly urged.
That the party is sinister to the hst
degree that can seduce a man to take
so loose a view of his public obliga
tions as to parform memil service in
defence of the Grant administration
and participate in the rape of the
presidency , first as a conspirator in
upon the bench of the electoral com-
misson.
RANDALL'S KAXT.
Speaker Samuel J. Rindall of the
house of representatives raid that the
democrats entered upon the campaign
with the beat candidates and the best
platform. Hancock was without fear
and without reproach. The platform
is worthy of the men and did net seek
to elevate one section to the detriment
of another , but declared concord and
justice t-i all alike. It was in strong
contrast to the opponent's. The re
public was the very essence of general
welfare , and could anyone believe
that a man who shed his blood at Get
tyabnrg and elaowhero in defense of
the union would endanger publ c faith ?
Th § speaker denounce ! the republican
party for osntia'izition of power , sub
jugation of stito sovereignty , extrav
usance aud maladministration , and
eulogized the democrats for their fight
agiiust these evils and efforts to ef
fect retrenchment of public expendi
tures.

All England Startled by the
News ofthe Disaster ,
The .Afghan "War Reopened
With all Ita Horrors.
Special Dispatch to The Bee
LONDON , July 28 noon. Lord
Hattington startled the houao this
moining by announcing that the gov
ernment had received new * from Can
dahar stating that an engagement had
taken place between the Afghani and
Gen. Burrowu" brigade , in which the
latter had been completely annihilat
ed. Lord Hartington further said tha
government was not yet in possession
of full details of tha disastrous engage
ment , but from what ii known of the
relative pcsition of the British and
Afxhan troops it la inferred that the
Afghans who are reported to have
DIbTROYED TUB BRITIHII ,
were under command of Ayoub
Kahn , who is supcsed to have been
reinforced by the mutineers , con
sisting of the entire infantry of the
old Oabul regiment , who deserted
from Shero Alia command at Oanda-
har on Wednesday too 14th. At that
date Ayoub Kahn waa two marchei
distant fiom Candahar with his whole
regular force of the regiments of In
fantry , exclusive of the mutaineers ,
who are believed to have joined him
subsequently , three regiments of
civalry numbering 4,000 men and
400sabre3 and thiry Runs. In addition
to these ho had some irregulir cavalry
variously estimated from 1,600 to 3-
500 , Of these 1,000 under Shshagaas |
g.mrd. This force left Herat about
the 19th and marched directly toward
C indahar with the evident purpose
of
TRT1KG COSCLCHIOJfS
with the British garrison at that place
as soon as a favonblo opportunity oc
curred. Ayoub is known to have
plenty of ammunition. If this morn
ing's news ia confirmed by later news
it will explain the reticence of the
Siradcrs at Ilia late Durbar , when
implored by Gen. Dugfdd Stewart to
sink their differences and unite with
Abdur Rahman Khan , thonewameT ,
to pac'/y and unite the country under
the new administration. Ayoub is
merely the tool of those friendly to
Russian and ngainst English rule.
Notwithstanding the apparent friendli
ness of Eome of them , these Cabul
chiefs have been suspected for some
time of stimulating Ayoub Khan to
the desecrate enterprise of attacking
Gjndabar , and to gat up an enthusi
asm among his solilii rs lie made them
profuse

at Oandahar in case of success. The
doubtful state of affairs in southern
Afghanistan also explains why the
British representative at the late
Durbur at Cabul declined to go fur
ther than to recognize Abdur Rih-
man Khan as Ameer of Cabul and
not of Afghanistan , which had been
the title of his predecessors. It is
believed that In some way General
Burrows was enticed beyond the wallf
of tha Candahar fortifications and en
