FRIDAY, MAY 12, 18S0.
The New York Times admits that 12
of the 70 delegates from that State to the
Chicago convention will not vote for
Grant. The Tribune claims 20.
It is said to be doubtful if Grant gets
any votes in the Aikansas delegation to
Chicago, notwithstanding the instructions
of the State convention.
—Colonel Ethen Allen lias furnished
■ Tribune with a list of 2,000 New York
Republicans who have signed a pledge
not to vote for Grant if he is nominated.
The Cincinnati Gazette says that the
Republican States should nominate at
Chicago. In these States Blaine has al
ready more than a third more delegates
than the ex-President.
—It is now claimed that not more than
two, possibly not more than one, delegate
from Philadelphia will go to the national
convention prepared to vote for the nomi
nation of Grant, either on the first or any
other ballot.
—Hugh J. Jewett, whose Democratic
friends claim that he is Ohio's second
choice for the presidential nomination,
has a large farm in the Muskingum Val
ley, on which he has high-bred stock rai
ned at $200,000.
—Alabama is evidently not for Tilden.
The compulsory withdrawal of a reso
lution expressing confidence in Mr. Til
den in the Montgomery convention is a
sufficient indication. If there were Til
den strength it would be there.
—“Henry,” said his wife, with a dul
ling severity, “I saw you coming out of a
saloon this afternoon.” “Well, my dar
ling,” replied the heartless man, “you
wouldn’t have your husband staying in a
saloon all day, would you?”
—Dr. Peck of Indianapolis has amputa
ted the leg of a young girl on account of
decay m the bones, produced by exces
sive rope jumping. He advises parents
and teachers to prohibit this play under
all circumstances.
—Bob Ingersoll says that Hayes could
not be elected if no one ran against him,
and that there would be enough scattering
votes to defeat him if there was nobody
else in the field. He thinks that neither
Sherman nor the ex-President have great
chances, and that Blaine will be Presi
dent.
—Mr. Orth would have done well not
to have stirred his Venezuela case. He
not only received a severe drubbing from
Mr. Springer, but brought one of his otyn
parti' friends to testify against him. fn
personal as well as a political point of
view, Mr. Springer’s explanation was com
plete and satisfactory to everybody but
Orth. .
—In New York, Thursday, a second
trial was made with the Holland retort, in
which water aud naphtha are used as fuel,
and steam was raised in an engine which
carried a coach load of people from
Flushing to Whilestone. The cost of such
fuel is much cheaper than that ordinarily
used, and its introduction may work a
revolution in the matter of locomotion.
—A negro woman was entering the
Arch Street Theatre, Philadelphia, five
years ago, with a ticket which she had
purchased. Admission was denied, and
an usher was ordered to put her off the
premises. She resisted stoutly, and was
considerably injured before the man final
ly ejected her. She sued for damages and
got a verdict of $000. Mrs. John Drew,
who manages the theatre, contested the-
case, to the utmost, but the Court of Ap
peals has finally sustained the verdict.
—“Miss of the ■ dramatic
company cast aside an old corset at a hotel
in and had been away from
that town a week before she recalled the
- fact that $250 in greenbacks was stitched
into that article of apparel. When she
remembered this a member of the com
pany was dispatched post haste to
and was lucky enough, after digging over
a lot of rubbish in the hotel yard, to find
the corset and cash.all right.” This item,
with different names in place of the dashes
is to be found in the Western newspa
pers.
—John Williams, a merchant at Rut
ledge, Georgia, sued a desperado. The
fellow entered the store in a furious pas
sion, held out the summons in one hand,
clutched a long knife in the other, and
said: “Williams, have you sued me?”
Williams kuew that an immediate “Yes”
would make him sure of a stab. “Let
me get my spectacles, so that I can read
the paper,” he said. He went behind the
counter and came back, not with his glass
es, but with an axe across his shoulder.
“Yes,” he said, “I have sued you.” “All
right,”* remarked the desperado, “I guess
I’ll pay the bill.” *
—Forest fires arc no unusual thing at
this season, but such widespread destruc
tion as they have caused this year is hap
pily uncommon. The fires in New Jersey
have been especially serious, and though 1
the timber that has been burned is less
valuable than which is now on fire among
the mountains of Eastern Pennsylvania,
the destruction, of farm and garden im
provements and even of homes, exceeds
anything in the experience of recent years.
There is likely to be a great deal of real
distress resulting from this terrible visita
tion, even apart from tbatwhich.is caused
by. the several destructive .fires in towns
and villages reported from different direc
tions to-day.
A Gouge of Silver.—In the cabinet
on Friday there was quite a lengthy dis
cussion as to the accumulated silver in
the treasury, the causes which led to it,
and what had best be done to get it into
circulation. Secretary Sherman stated
that there were over forty millions of
standard silver dollars in the . treasury
vaults and it was accumulating at the rate
of about a million a month. Secretary
Evarts, who is a good deal of a silver
man, said that the way to get it out was
to pay it out. Mr. Sherman said they had
tried all plans, but that the silver stream
pouring into the treasury was larger than
the stream they had been, able to direct
outward. No conclusion was reached.
The Wheat Chop.—The New York
Bulletin says in another column, we pre
sent a compilation of reports from all the
chief wheat growing'states’iii the country;
which will repay perusal by those interest
ed in our crop prospects. Upon the whole;
he acreage and the present condition of
the plant indicate a - crop of wheat quite
equal to that of . 1872* The chief excepj
ions to this rule are Iowa and Kansas,
both large contributors to our wheat crop;
but, so far as can be judged from present
indications, the deficiencies in those
States are likely to be compensated by the
abundance in Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota.
and Pennsylvania. Moreover, the reports j
from Iowa show some improvement as to
condition as the season progresses: though
the acreage Is likely to prove deficient.
Waahington Correspondence,
Washington City, '
May 17th, 1880.
THE QUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT
was appareutly settled last Saturday by
the House, so far as that body could do it.
It remains to be seen whether the Senate
makes it conclusive. It is no secret here
that that miserable old creature, Tilden,
through liis lieutenant, Randall, ha3 bad
several fingers in this particular pie. Bau-
daii was more than willing, too, to be
used. Like all other Pennsylvania politi
cians and people, lie favors the present
robber tariff, and as the proposed adjourn
ment will surely result in leaving that
swindle untouched, of course he favored
it. It remains to he seen whether the
Senate will also register” this Tilden de
cree. Of course all the Radicals, except
some half dozen from the West, voted for
adjournment on the 31st. They are m
mortal dread of any tariff legislation or
even debate, and thus, by a combination of
protectionists Democrats and the Radicals
in the House the burdens of the people
are to remain milightened. The Georgia
members who were present, with the ex
ception of General Cook, voted against
the proposition to adjonm on the 31st.
Of course, this indecent haste to get away
from Washington will result in leaving
untouched a mass of legislation sorely de
manded by the interests of the country.
Andifldonot greatly mistake the tem
per of the people they will make the De
mocracy pay for it at the polls in Novem
ber.
THE BOOH OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
/ BOOHEBS
still continues, and without perceptible
change. The Grant men are “carrn” and
self-confident to an admirable degree.
They still claim to have the longest pole,
and I can’t help being more aud more
convinced every day «f the soundness Of
tlieir judgment. If Grant don’t win on
the first ballot he will in the end. If I
were in funds I should like to make
the greatest effort of my life in the shape
of a bet to that effect. Blaine may whoop
’em up in his usual flamboyant style, and
John Sherman make things smooth and
easy with the oil of official patronage, bat
“the old man” has the grip in the South
ern vote, and that will save him. “Dar
sets my Jesus widde stovepipe on,” is the
key of the situation, so far as he and that
vote are concerned. Therefore I say unto
you if you trill bet, and have the money to
do it with, pile it all on that man of luck
—Grant. Among Democratic probabili
ties, Judge Field seems forging ahead.
Lately I bear his name and stock quo
ted very often and favorably of late,
The only thing . I know to his dis
credit is that he is reported to be
Tilden’s favorite in case the latter can
not win himself. But I have heard the
same thing about Randall, and the latter
is represented as actually verdant enough
to believe the story. It seems to me Judge
Field would make about as strong a man
as tire party could name, outside of Gov
ernor Seymour. If, as is naturally to be
supposed, be could carry the Pacific slope
States, aud both wings of the Democracy
in New York would unite on him, his
election would be beyond peradventure..
THE CHBISTIANCY DIVOBCE
papers are still absent from the files of
the clerk’s office of the court here. There
are considerably more than one thou
sand rumors as'to what they contain in cir
culation. At present counsel are silent and
the papers bidden,while the public proceed
ings are conducted by Judge Imagination,
witli twelve guesses for a jury. There is
no doubt, however, that the venerable
Isaac P. will he compelled to pay his
wife's counsel fees and alimony, pending
the suit. He has settled ail his property
on his children, and his salary as minister
is beyond the reach of legal process, but
as he is the plaintiff in the suit, Mrs C. :s
entitled, as above stated, and he can’t
proceed with the suit until lie makes such
payments in that direction as the court
may direct. When the case comes to
trial it will “draw” like the leg drama. I
should like exceedingly to handle the net
proceeds of admittance to the show, at
fifty cents a head.
GOOD FOB MACON.
In May, 1879, Mr. Blount introduced a
hill directing the secretary to pay, out of
any money in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated, to the order of the mayor,
for the use of said city the sum of $4,-
178.97, Internal revenue tax collected con
trary to law on its issue of city bonds be
tween tbe years 1867'and 1873. On tbe
12th inst. Mr. Samford, of Alabama, from
the Committee on claims made the follow
ing report on tbe bill and asked itspas-
“The committee on claims, to whom was
referred the petition of the city of Ma
con, Ga., for relief, have considered the
same, and would respectfully report as
follows: • -
This is a claim for the refunding to the
city of Macon of certain moneys which
were collected as Federal taxes between
the years 1867 and 1873. It appears that
since the late war said city has issued a
considerable amount of bonds, for small
sums each; receivable in payment of dues
to tbe city; that said bonds were in form
convenient for circulation, and were used
to some extent as a local circulating me
dium.
Tbe Federal revenue officers assessed
and collected, from time to time, the one-
twelftli of one per cent, tax imposed by
law upon State banks and other corpora
tions issuing bills for circulation, aHd the
city authorities paid the same without ob
jection, and, as they allege, in ignorance
of their rights, up to May, 1874, at which
date they refused to make further pay
ment, mid presented their claim to the
secretary of the treasury to have the en
tire amount so paid by them as aforesaid
refunded to the city. *
These assessments amounted to tbe sum
of $6,141, of which the city paid the sum
of $5,633.50.
The secretary of the treashry, when tills
claim was presented, acknowledged the
illegality of the assessment and collection
of said taxes, biit held himself bound to
refund only that portion of the whole sum
received which had been collected during
tbe two years next preceding tbe presen
tation of said claim, according to the lim
itation prescribed by act of Congress ap
proved June 6, 1872. "Upon this view of
the claim, and of the law above, referred
to, there was repaid to said city of Macon,
of taxes so admitted to have been illegally
assessed and collected, the sum of $1,-
454.53, leaving the sum of $1,178.97 still
In the treasury of the United States, col
lected from said city of Macon as afore
said.
The committee are of opinion that said
tax was illegally assessed and collected,
for the reason that It was not authorized
by any law of the United States, and that
the portion still remaining in the treasury
ought to be refunded to said city of Macon..
The committee therefore report to the
House the accompanying bill, and recom
mend that it do pass.”
Of course this bill will, with a thousand
others, be left hanging like Mahomet’s
coffin, if an adjournment is forced
on the 31st. In fact, it need not
be • expected that any legislation
except the appropriation bills will get
through if the Senate agrees to that prop
osition. But the Mephistophiles ofGra-
mercy Park has passed the word to high
tariff Sam and all other interests must be
subordinated to bis.Oh, if the Great North
American Whisperer were only ready for
Abraham’s besom and would go there!
THE GBEAT BOAT BACE,
which may or may not come off on
Wednesday, together with a week’s horse
racing over the National course near this
city, have pretty well put Congress in a
comer. The former is attracting most
attentionjand will be witnessed by 20,000
people at the lowest estimate. Courtney,
the chap who has had such had luck
with his boats heretofore the night before
the race, seems bound to come to tbe
scratch this time. He sold 100 in the
pools here Saturday night to 125 for Han-
lan, but I notice the figures were reversed
in New York the same night. The gen
eral public here seem to lavor him, but I
notice the professionals ail back Hanlau.
Tbe latter is literally “honing” for a race
with Courtney, but the former is repre
sented as not at all like Barkis. The le-
port is that he is afraid of Hanlan, and if
that be true, the race is half lost to him
already. The city is filling up rapidly,
and already the hotels and streets look
like they do at the commencement of a
new Congress. I also observe an expres
sion of profound satisfaction o*i the faces
of the barkeepers, hack drivers and boot- imprisoned in the Arctic ocean. Tlie bill T>'V r r |'b’T .TilfiP A T) U

tion over Alaska from the United States

ed in boxes; whether said tare is greater
or less than the actual weight of boxes,
and why adopted.
Mr. Morgan announced that on Thurs
day he will ask the consideration of his
joint resolution adopting a joins rule for
counting the electoral vote.
At the expiration, of the morning hour
the Kellogg resolutions were informally
laid aside, and the post-office appropria
tion bill was taken up. The amendments
recommended by the Senate committee
on appropriations were agreed to increas
ing tbe appropri ation for the transportation
of the mails on railroad routes from
$6,490,000 to $9,840,000; by steamboat
routes from $850,000 to $900,000; for mail
messengers, from $700,000 to $725,000; for
mall locks and keys, from $25,000 to $100,-
000. Some debate was had on the com
mittee’s amendment striking out the House
proviso that all star routes shall be relet
October 1,1880, on which expedition ex
ceeding fifty per cent, of the contract
price lias been ordered during the fiscal
years ending June 30,1879, or June 30,
1880, unless the present eoutractor desires
to continue the contract as reduced. The
committee thought it unwise to cut down
the service existing, and believed that if
the contracts were abrogated by Congress
before their expiration, contractors could
recover damages from the government.
Mr. Beck offered tn amendment pro
viding against any decrease in the trips or
speed now existing. He favored retrench
ment, and hoped those responsible for ex
travagance in the star service expendi
ture would be punished. But the people
should uotbe deprived of necessary service.
Messra. Garland, Teller, Carpenter,
Booth, Wallace and Maxey supported the
committee’s amendment, arguing that it
was unjustjimpolitic, unconstitutional and
dangerous for Congress to take any action
impairing the obligation of contracts.
Mr. Beck’s amendment was finally re
jected and tlie committee’s amendment
agreed to. After some other slight
amendments had been made, the bill was
read the third time and passed.
Mr. Morgan introduced a joint resolu
tion appropriating $14,900 for preparing
and publishing by the department of
State, more frequently, consular and
other commercial reports. Referred.
A message was received from the Presi
dent transmitting a report of the secrctaiy

Washington, May .17.—In the House,
Mr. Bragg, of Wisconsin, under instruc
tions from the committee on war claims,
moved to suspend the rules and pass
bill appropriating $22,271 to reimburse
Tliram Johnson, of Tennessee, and others,
that being tbe surplus of military assess
ments paid by them in excess, of the
amount required by, the war indemnity
act. Agreed to. . . "
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, under instruc
tions from the committee on commerce,
moved to suspend the rules and pass the
river and harbor appropriation bill. After
the reading of the bill,"the House sustain
ed, by a vote of 148 t6 29 the motion to
suspend tbe rules. Thirty .minutes’ de
bate was tliefl allowed.
Messrs. Lounsbnrg and Cox, of New
York, opposed the bill, as did also Mr.
Chalmers, of Mississippi. Tbe latter,said
be opposed it because it did great injus
tice to the region which he represented.
The word ‘‘creek” occurred in the bill
twenty times, and for the improvement of
various creeks seventeen,, appropriations
were made. The people of Vicksburg
were seeing tlieir property destroyed, and
engineers hap estimated thkt three hun
dred thousand dollars would be nec
essary to save their harbor, and
yet the committee came in with a pitjfu
twenty thousand dollars for that purpose,
and at tlie same time gave twenty thou
sand dollars to Cheese Creek, New Jersey.
No man could tell where that creek was,
unless it was in the district of the mem
ber from New Jersey, who was on the
commerce committee. A paltry appro
bation of oue hundred thousand dollars
rad been made to remove obstructions
from the Mississippi river, while the same
amount had been given to' Raritan river,
also in New Jersey. After a short defense
of the bill by Messrs. Reagan, of Texas,
Dunnell, of Minnesota, and Kentia, of
West Virginia, the motion to suspend the
rules and pass the bill was agreed to by
179 ydas, 47 nays.

sideration of bills reported from the com
mittee on public buildings, and grounds.

structions of the committee ou banking
and currency, moved to suspend the rules
and pass the bill authorizing the national
banks to make loaus to the extent of
one quarter of their capital and surplus
upon mortgages ou real estate. The house
refused to second the motion for a suspen
sion of the rules, only thirty-five mem
bers voting in favor of it.
The speaker laid before the House a
message from tbe President transmitting,
in compliance with a resolution of the
House, copies of the correspondence with
the government of Great Britain in regard
to alleged outrages on American citizens
at Fortune Bay, Newfoundland, together
with a report from the secretary of state
on the subject. The message recom
mends that the suggestions made by the
which should be taken to secure the
rights of our fishermen be adopted. Or
dered printed and referred. Adjourned.
Washington, May 18.—In the House,
Mr. Cobb, from the committee on appro
priations, reported back the pension de
ficiency appropriation bill. The bill is
similar, to that reported last week, with an
additional clause appropriating $8,000 to
enable the secretary ol" the treasury to
employ one of the steamers of the revenue
marine now on the Pacific coast for the re
lief of the officers and crews of whaling
barks Mount Walliston and Vigilant, now
such soldiers in' their claims for military
service. The amendment was ruled out
on a point of order.
Mr. Chalmers appealed from the de
cision.
~ Mr. Garfield suggested that the amend
ment be withdrawn and unanimously pass
ed as a separate m easure,when the pendi ng
bill should have been disposed of. This
suggestion was agreed to.
The pension deficiency bill then passed
without amendment.
Mr. Chalmers then offered as a separate
.measure the amendment which he had of
fered to the deficiency bill and it was
agreed to.
In the ijenate, Mr. DaVis, of Illinois,
from the judiciary committee, reported
favorably the House bill to establish Dis
trict and Circuit Courts at Chattanooga,

eastern district of Tennessee. Passed.
Mr. Bayard, from the committee on
finance, reported with an amendment the
bill authorizing bonds of manufacturers
of tobacco, snuff and cigars exporting the
same, to be cancelled at the port of clear
ance. Placed on the calendar.
The amendment makes the bill con
form to the bill reported to the House
from the ways and means committee, the
object being to facilitate, tbe passage of.
the bid directly from the Speaker’s table.
Washington, May 18.—In the Senate
Mr. Hampton, from the committee'on
military affairs, reported favorably on tlie

Daniel Morgan to the Cowpen’s Centen
nial Association at Spartanburg, South

gument in favor oi the resolutions. At its
conclusion the House resolution, provid
ing for adjournment on May 31, was laid
before the Senate and read for the first
time.
Mr. Conkling called attention to the
fact that the resolution was worded os a
joint and not as a concurrent resolution.
He objected to its wording.
The Kellogg-Spofford resolutions were
taken up, and Mr. Morgan, of Alabama,
made a legal argument in favor of tbe
resolutions. At tbe conclusion of Mr.
Morgan’s remarks, the resolutions were
informally laid aside until to-morrow,

portant business, the Senate, ^t 5:40, ad

tbe agricultural bill, and the House went
into committee of the whole thereupon,
Mr. Covert explained the provisions of
tlie bill, and dwelt upon the importance
of fostering the agricultural interests of
tbe country. ■ •
Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, a mem
ber of tbe agricultural committee, spoke
in support of the bill, declaring that it
was time that Congress recognized the im
portance of agricultural interests, and
made liberal appropriations to encourage
it.
Mr. Richards, of South Carolina, ex
pressed regret that the- pending bill did
not provide lor making the office of com
missioner of agriculture a .cabinet office.
He contended tlidt tbe interests of agricul
ture were oppressed by tbe tariff - and
navigation laws.
Mr. Young, of Tennessee, offered an
amendment providing that five thousand
dollars of tbe sum appropriated for tbe
purchase of seed, etc., shall be expended
for tlie improvement of cotton culture.

tntion of the Workingmen’s convention
reported to-day. The platform is» auti-
Ohinese, anti-subsidy, anti-national
banks, anti-monopoly and favoring green
backs, "government control of corpora
tions, female enfranchisement, compul
sory education, creating by tax a fund to
be used iu assisting heads of families in
settling on the public lands, and electing
president and vice president of the United
States and, postmasters by a direct vote of
the people. The constitution does not
fliffer materially from the old one, hut the
additional resolutions sympathize with
Kalloch and Kearney. A resolution de
claring Allen G. Thurman tae choice of
the Workingmen’s party for president of
the United States was adopted after a
warm debate, by a vote of CO to 41.
San Francisco, May 19.—The Work
ingmen’s convention last evening con
sidered the platform seriatim. A few
amendments were made. Ope of these
strikes out the clause,favoring tlie enfran-r
chisemcnt of womeu. The clause de
manding that tho national, government

ted by a clause making tbe United States
treasury the sole source of the paper cir
culation, which should be with gold aud
silver a full legal tender. Tho platfonn
as amended, was adopted. .The constitu
tion was then taken under consideration,
and the remainderofthe evening was devo
ted to its discussion. Fending the question
of affiliating with the Greenback-Labor
party, the convention adjourned until this
morning. Tlie delegation from the fourth
congressional district nominated Ool. J.

Springfield, .Illinois, May 19.—At
a meeting of the State central committee
last night,'Hon. Green B. Itaum was se
lected for temporary chairman of the con
vention. It was resolved not to admit
the contesting delegations Ad the floor of
the hall. The Blaine and Washbume
inen held a conference, and agreed to
unite in convention. The Grant party
claim a majority of all the delegates.
. The Grant delegates had a large caucus
last night, Robert T. Lincoln presiding;
Stephen A. Douglass, Jr., acted as secre
tary. On a call of tbe counties, 85 county
delegations responded. A committee of
five was appointed to prepare a pro
gramme for action to be taken by an ad
journed meeting to be held this morning.
; Hon. R. H. McClellan, of Galena, was
called on and read a dispatch from Hon.
E. B. Washburne, urging his friends to
support Grant—saying he had come here
to present this dispatch in person to
the delegates, in accordance with Mr.
Washburne’s wishes.
Speeches were made by Emory A.
Storrs, Chauncey J. Tilley, Stephen A.
Douglass and Leonard Sweet, and re
ceived with great enthusiasm. Senator
Logan stated in bis remarks that Grant
had 339 votes, and that the 42 vote3 of Il
linois will nominate him on the first bal
lot. Grant,' he said, ought to have the 42
votes of Illinois solid. If Blaine should
have a majority of the convention to-day,
theSenator said he would move to give him
every vote. The meeting adjourned amid
cheers for Grant.
Springfield, III., May , -'19.—The Re
publican convention was called to' order
at noon by A. M. Jones, chairman of the
State committee, wh° spoke briefly.
Gree.a B. Raum, commissioner of internal
revenue, was elected temporary chairman.
(He said the Presidential question was
thrown into the background by the inter
est in the nomination for governor. Bit
terness on this qnestion was likely to end
in a dangerous schism in the Republican
party of the State, and thus endanger the
supremacy of that party iu the State and
nation. There were two sets of delegates
from Cook county. The contestants
could safely rely on a righteous decision
by the 600 delegates bolding undoubted

Springfield, May 19.—-In conclusion,
General Raum said the convention should
—A corps of engineers from tbe Texas

thorough inspection recently made of the
Eads jetties at the mouth of the Missis

South Pass, which five years ago was not
navigable for vessels drawing over six feet,
is now a magnificent stream one thousand
feet in width, with a central channel vary
ing from two hundred and fifty to five
hundred feet in width, where twenty-six
feet is the least depth on tbe outer edges,
and where thirty-live feet is the average
prevailing depth of the middle.
—A special train of four cars, drawn
by a new Baldwin locomotive with 6|
foot driving wheels, was run on the Cen
tral New Jersey railroad Thufsday be
tween Philadelphia snd Jersey City.
The time made, it is claimed, has never
before been equalled in this country. The
trip from Philadelphia to Bound Brook,
54 2-10 miles, was made in 63 minutes,
and from Bound Brook to Jersey City, 80
2-10 miles, in 34 minutes, or the total run
of 89| miles in 97 minutes. Returning to

tbe total distance was 90 minutes and 35,

—The Pope has recently undergone

Perugia, but he is not prepared to face
the storm of opposition, reproach and

send delegates to the national convention
who would agree to support the nominee,
be it Sherman, Blaine or Grant. This
was bis conception of the duties of tbe
hour.
Several resolutions relative to the con
testing Cook county delegations were
then offered and discussed.
Mr. Shaftner, of Cook county, asked to
be beard one moment. Much confusion
followed, loud calls being made for the,
previous question, and a motion was made
to adjourn to 4 p. m.
1 General Logan asked leave to introduce
a resolution, aud after considerable con
fusion tbe resolution was read as follows
jResolt&l, That-all contesting delega
tions to this convention shall pledge them
selves te accept and .abide by the decision
•of this convention iri relation-to such con
tests, as a condition precedent to having
their claims to seats in the convention
considered.
A motion was made to postpone
action on the resolution until four
o'clock, when lion. O. II. Wright, of
Boone,’and a Blaine man, insistedo n his
motion to adjourn. Tlie motion to ad
journ was defeated, and a motion to table
the resolution was voted down. The rcs^
olutlon was then adopted, and the con
vention adjourned until five o’clock.
Before the opening of the convention,
the Cook COU&ty Blaine-Washburue dele
gation proceeded in a body :o the conven
tion and demanded their scats. The door
keepers refused them admission. They then
retired to the Senate chamber. -A com
mittee ‘Was appointed to. confer with

The House theta went into committee
of the whole on the agricultural appropri
ation bill. After making some compara
tively unimportant amendments, tlie
committee rose and repotted the bill to
the House and it was passed.
Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, moved that
the House go into committee of the whole
on the state of tbe Union, stating that his
intention was to call up the tariff bill.
The motion was agreed to by yeas 105,
nays 67. Tbe chair stated that the first
business in order was the funding bill.
The House refused to lay rride the fund
ing bill and take up the tarifl’ bill by a
vote of yeas 91, nays 99. The committee
thereupon rose and tbe House took are-;

Mr. Cameron introduced a bill granting
a pension to the widow of Gen. Heintzel
man. Referred.
The joint resolution for adjournment
was read twice and referred to the com
mittee on appropriations. After debate,
which showed difference of opinion as to
whether in its present form it required the
President’s signature, Mr. Conkling in
timated that it had been purposely made
a joint, instead ot a concurrent * resolu
tion, in order to throw tbe. blame of ad
journment, before important bills were
passed, ou tbe President. + ■ • •
Mr. Butler spoke against the resolution
to unseat Kellogg. He did uot think the
Senate had the legal and constitutional
power to unseat a member who had been
admitted after a contest on the merits of
his case, except on motion to expel. How
ever much he might personally regret the
partisan action of the Senate in seating
Kellogg, he was bound by it until it
should he shown that the majority
of the committee of the Senate to
investigate the matter, had acted
fraudulently. The proceedings of
the Senate in passing on the qualifications
of its members are essentially judicial;
and there is no power with appellate ju
risdiction. It would be unsafe and dan
gerous to establish a precedent or adopt a
rule by which appeal may be taken from
one majority to another. It would be no
sufficient justification to him to depart
from the line of conscientious- duty in
passing upon the constitutional power of
of the Senate over the seat of one of its
members, on which it bad already adju
dicated, that the Republican party in tlie
past had disregarded the restraints of the
law. It would be a stinging rebuke on
Republican revolutionary methods ior tbe
preseut majority to show the country that
it has the courage to repudiate the prece
dent of the Senate in the face of terrible
temptation to retaliate in a most aggravated
case.
The interest of the public was that there
be an ond of litigation. If the decision of
one majority is to be reversed by another
majority, the case will never end. Who,
except the Senator from Georgia, would
attempt to assume infallibility of judg
ment, and say who was wrong and who
was right. He resented Mr. Hill’s recent
insinuation' that Democrats who voted
against the resolutions would be actuated
by other considerations than the law, the
constitution and the evidence. He called
on that Senator to speak openly and not
to take refuge in innuendoes. He could
not understand why Mr. Hill had spe
cially alluded to South Carolina, unless
to put on record the fact that ho never be
longed to “that peculiar school of polities
represented by that State.” (Quoting
Mr.- Hill’s language.) He need not
have troubled himself to say that
no one would ever accuse him of be
ing of that school, which bad no disciples
except those with fixed and well defined
political principles, thorough convictions,
and openly developed political methods.
He decided,to let Mr. Hill speak for the
honertff South Carolina. The people of
South Carolina had freed themselves from
carpet-bag rule by a supreme effort of de
spair, aud twining their arms around the
grand column of American 'liberty. He
would not have them turn back atid wal
low in the mire of carpct-bag infamy, and
for this reason and- others, would respect
the judgment of tbe Senate. If the sitting
member was unfit to be a Senator, the
proper remedy was expulsion. Time was
cicatrizing the wounds of Louisiana.
Soon this last thorn in her side would
be expelled by the festering it creates.
Better so than to tear it out by tho roots.
He did not believe tbe Packard legisla
ture a legal body, but unfortunately tbe
Senate had decided it was, and its judg
ment could not be disturbed. He closed
by an elaborate legal argument • favoring
the doctrine of res adjudicata.
Mr. Garland took the floor on the Kel
logg resolution.
Mr. Hill said both Senators from South
Carolina had insisted on misconstruing
his remarks and commenting unjustifia
bly on his political record. He would re
ply to them when he could get tlie floor.
The resolutions were informally laid
aside, and Bayard’s bill" regulating the
rank and pay of deputy marshals was
taken up.
Messrs. Carpenter, Teller and Conkling
offered several amendments, inflicting
penalties for intimidation in connection
with elections, etc., which-were rejected
by a party vote.
Mr. Bayard supported the bill, claiming
it was substantially what had before
passed Congress, and met no objection
from the President, except that it was on
an appropriation’bill.
Messrs. Conkling and Edmunds pointed
out new, and what they thought, bad
(features in the bill. j.i
Mr. Voorhees thought the bill an im
provement on the existing law, but' could
not vote for any bill recognizing Federal
supervision of elections.
Mr. Thurman supported tbe bill. No
new argument .was developed-in the, de
bate, pending which, at C p. m., the Senate
adjourned.
The Boat Paddlers.
Washington, May 19.—I have just

ty good nightls sleep and would be at tbe
starting. Ijjie .promptly- at half-past four
this afternoon:- Courtnferwas still asleep
aud althoitgh'hU brother John was cool-

did not feel feverish to my touch. He had
not been restless hr- the night, and when
last awake left word tlrat he was to be
called at three o’clock this evening; • .His
advisers say that he will positively be at
the starting line at 4;20 o’clock to-day. I
have instructed. Riley to be ready . within
call so that lie inky, he at the line, if neces
sary, at a moment’s notice. Tire survey

long.. The weather is fin* and all indica

Washington, May 19.—Weather clear
and a very slight breeze blowing. Tlie
city is filled with strangers to attend the
Hanlan-Courtney boat race at 4:30 p. m.,
which it is estimated will be witnessed by
over50,000people.-•* ■ ■'
The -expected, Hanlan-Courtney boat
race will be postponed until -6 o’clock on
account ot tbe heat. ■ hwl -11
Washington, May 19.—On kce6unt of
seveietheat this afternoon, Mr- Blaikie,
the referee, anneunied that the Hanlan-
Courtney boat race would be postponed
until 5:30. Hours before that time, how
ever, the banks of tbe Potomac for the
distance of a mile below tlie starting
point"Vvere Mocked with people, and 'the
river itself swarmed with yachts, barges
and heavily laden steamers. It is esti
mated that tbe spectators numbered over
lOfijOOO.. The weather, although warai,
was almost perfect; and the surface of the
Potomac was hardly broken by a ripple.
Owing id Some delay, caused by tbe press
boat, it was almost six o’clock before
Hanlan and Courtney pulled up from
their respective boat houses to the start
ing line. Hanlan won the toss for posi
tion and chose the inside or Virgin's
shore, giving him a slight advantage. The
course was from ' the aqueduct bridge,
Georgetown, to a point near Long
Bridge, a distance of two miles and a half,
and return.
Tbe word “go” was given at six minutes
past sue. The start' was a beautiful one,
Courtney catching the water a trifle in
advance of Hanlan, and pulling a steady,
even stroke of 36 to Hanlan’s 41. Fora
few seconds Courtney’s boat showed in
front, but in less than ten strokes Hanlan
overhauled him, and at tbe first flag, mark-'
'ng one-eightb of a mile! Hanlan was lead
ing, with clear water between tlie stern of
his boat and the bow of Courtney’s. At
the three-quarter mile flag, Hanlan was
fully ten lengths ahead aud the excite
ment Of the race was over. Courtney was
evidently beaten. At tbe end of the
first mile Hdnlan, led by fifteen 1 boat
lengths,-pulliilg an .easy stroke of thirty-
one to the minute; Courtney was pulling
a labored, unsteady stroke of 28, steering
wildly and stopping frequently to wet* his
head.-
Hanlan reached the two'mile flag in 13
minutes, 31f seconds, jkst one-eighth of a
mile ahead of Courtney. The latter
finally stopped entirely, and gave tap the
race threw-eighth* of a mile from the turn
ing stake, or 21 miles from the starting
point, and turning his boat round, pulled
leisurely back to his quarters at the
Potomac boat bouse. Ilanlan rounded
the turning stake in 17 minutes and 54
seconds, and pulled leisurely homeward.
As he neared tlie finish be quickened bis
stroke to 40, and exhibited a splendid
burst of speed, crossing the line in 30 min
utes and 49* seconds! from tlie time of
starting. He then pulled up to tbe refer
ees's boat and was awarded tlie race by
Mr. Blakie, and was warmly congratu
lated by Mr. Soule.
Mr. Hanlan then picked lus way
through scores Of steamers and river cratis
of every description to his quarters at An-
alostan boat house, where lie was re
ceived by his friends with wildest demon
strations of enthusiasm.
Oarsman Riley was at the start
ing point, prepared to enter the race if
either Haulan or Courtney failed to appear.
He started down tho outer edge of the
course, a few seconds before tbe word was
given,aud rowed nearly tbe whole dis
tance -ahead of Hanlan, turning Han
lan’s stake aud increasing his lead to
about one-eighth ot a mile before he
finally left the course on the home stretch,
find went to his boat house.
Washington, May 19.—The excite
ment over tho result of to-day's race has
increased rather than diminished this eve
ning. The general feeling is one of great
disappointment. From all that can be
learned it seems that Courtney was in
bad physical condition to-day, partly on
account of heat, to which he is peculiarly
sensitive, and partly on account of ner
vousness brought on by over excitement
and apprehension of defeat.
His trainer says he did not sleep at all
last night, and that he had eaten little
or nothing for 24 hours. He apparently
came upon the course in a state of great
nervous prostration, and when Hanlan
won the toss and took tlie Virginia side,
Courtney made one desperate struggle
for the lead, and losing it lost
also what little courage he had left, and
completely Went to pieces within the first
quarter of a mile. Another race between
Hanlan aqd Riley over the same course
for a purse of §1,500 has been arranged to
night for next Wednesday; May 26. RU
ley’s exploit to-day, his fine condition and
his excellent form have made him many
admirers.
