—The municipal authorities of Berlin
have under consideration a plan for an
elevated railroad across that capital, to be
worked by electricity, and a special com
mission of engineers and architects have
been commissioned to report upon it.
—The Empress Eugenie proved herself
to be a very good sailor during her voyage
to the Cape. She never missed appearing
at the table, though for many days she
was the only lady of the party who did
so. Nile is said to have endeared her
self to every one on board.
—Jefferson Davis’s plantation at Hurri
cane, Mississippi, is leased by Mont
gomery & Sons. This firm is composed
of four negroes who were formerly owned
by a brother of the ex-President of the
Confederacy. They own plantations
worth $75,000, hire several more, and do
a large mercantile business at Vicksburg.
—A Washington special to the World
of the 1st instant, says that Thomas A.
Edison was to-day granted a patent for a
magnetic ore separator, which allows
magnetic and non-magnetic substances to
fall together, and then by magnetic at
traction alters or changes the trajectory of
the falling magnetic substances without
Stopping its fall.
—The count of noses last night at
Chicago gives Grant, says the Courier
Journal, on the first ballot, 300 votes;
Blaine 300; John Sherman 100 and Ed
munds a promising fifty votes. Sherman’s
managers are reported confident that at
the hreak-up he will draw handsomely;
but Sherman prognostications are very un
reliable.
—The seventeen year locust has begun
his pilgrimage, and is already making its
appearance in considerable numbers in
some of the southern counties of Ohio.
Its first recorded appearance there was in
1795. It appeared again in 1812, and this
time the great W on its wings was said to
stand for war. The next visitation oc
curred in 1829, the next 1846, and the last
in 1SC3.
—Mr. Edward Knoll, the Burgomaster
of Karlshad, has issued a proclamation to
the masculine frequenters of that water
ing place, exhorting them to abstain 'for
the future from the wearisome, frivolous,
and futile practice of raising their hats to
one another as a conventional salutation.
He describes it as annoying and vexatious,
and somewhat authoritatively recom
mends, as a substitute for so meaningless
a formality, “the usual military salute, ef
fected by a gesture of the hand.”
Why He Vlotee Pr.rm.iCAN.—The
1 —- amoving: “Say,
John,” said a local politician to a Fulton
street Chinaman, the other day, “are you
naturalized?” “Yes, I nlaturalized; I
votee allee time samee Melican man, one,
Hive, tien time.” “Who are you going to

British and French Chop Pros-
Pects.—The London Times, in its issue
of May 27, says: “Experts predict that
there will be a great harvest here and in
France, where the appearance of the
wheat is all that could be desired.” It
appears that in Great Britain, as in this
country, May has been a dry month, but
with no serious injury to the crops.
“Some Tain,” says the Times, “would do
good, hut a continuance of the dry weath
er will do no harm,” and “the aspect of
the weather, which is now being anxious
ly watched by those interested in pastur
age and root crops, does not seem to con
cern operators in the wheat market.” It
estimates that if the promised yield of
Wheat is realized, it will effect a saving to
France and England together of twenty
million pounds sterling.
—Prince Alexander, of Bulgaria, has
selected a wealthy young lady for his
wife. Mile. Yusupoff, to whom he is be
trothed, is the daughter and co-heiress
With a younger sister of a Russian prince,
who is popularly credited with being the
Czar’s wealthiest subject. This Muscovite
millionaire’s income is chiefly derived
from house property in St. Petersburg.
The damsel is described as being an amia
ble and clever young lady, more remark
able for her varied accomplishments than
her beauty. She will, it is said, bring to
the ruler of Bulgaria a dowry of £%000,-
000, and expectation of a succession ap
praised at between £2,000,000 and £3,-
000,000 a year more. .... —
Edison’s Latest.—Mr. Edison, who
has not been heard from lately, is reported
by a correspondent of the Mew Yojk
Herald to have succeeded in producing an
electro-magnetic locomotive, which was
run over a three-quarter mile railroad at
Menlo Park on Saturday. Its speed was
forty-two seconds from the beginning to
the end of .the track. The operation of
Ibe motor is not described. Mr. Edison
Is also building a large factory for the
manufacture of his electric lamps. It is
to be finished by next September, when he
proposes to light six miles of streets, the
lamps being eighty feet apart, and will run
Ills train over a three mile road, all the
power being obtained from the sixteen
dynamo machines now in position.
—Dana Krura, one of the conductors
on the Erie railroad, was approached be
fore train time by an unknown man who
spoke to him as if he had known him for
years. “I say, Dana,” said he, “I have for
gotten my pass, and I want to go to Sus
quehanna; I am a fireman on the road,
you know?” But the conductor told him
he ought to have a pass with him. It was
the safest way. Pretty soon Dana came
along to collect tickets. Seeing liis man,
he spoke when he reached him, “Say, my
friend, have you the time with you?”
“Yos,” said he, as he pulled out a
watch, “it is twenty minutes past nine.”
“Oh, it is, is it? Now, if you don’t
show me your pass, or fare, I will stop tlie
train. There is no railroad man that I
ever saw who would say “twenty minutes
past nine.” He would say “nine-twenty.”
He settled.
Senator Bayffrd for President. 59
.The gireat'statesman of- the Diamond 8 Th ® ' Ne *' 0rl . e . __ . .
State, Thomas Bayard, who is almost ^cas.on f a visit>d inspection. bjMN
idolized by his cotetitueni, is/nndoubt- authonUep of the Texas Paafic^ail-,
choice of- thJ South for the road S** 1 seaward channel, made (
'for that city by the Eads jetties, to speak j
at length of what the inspection deter-
edly the first
Presidency.
Despite his hard money, proclivities,
there is a frankness, nobility of character,
and inflexible honesty about the man
which command the respect and admira
tion of friend and foe alike.- A-Democrat
sans peur sans reproche, his record is as
spotless as the untrodden srrow. But the
South is not in a position to dictate her
preferences to the national Democracy.
Alter a terrific and disastrous appeal to
arms, followed by the destruction of local
government, and the horrors of carpet-bag
rule, we have hut recently struggled to
the surface again, and obtained the con
trol of our own domestic affairs.
At the North our people are still re
garded with distrust, and the bloody shirt
continues to be the favorite ensign under
which all who hate the South love best to
rally. Under these circumstances it were
folly to assume the part of leaders, and
attempt to foist upon the party any gen
tleman, however unexceptionble and de
serving, as the choice of this section.
But unfortunately, in New England
and the extreme North, Mr. Bayard has
always been regarded as a Southerner and
classed as such. Moreover, his highly
patriotic and conservative speech at the
opening of the war, which has recently
been republished and extensively animad
verted upon, should he be presented as
the nominee of the South, would be used
with great effect as a campaign document
against him in the Presidential race.
On the score of availability alone then,
our delegates to Cincinnati should select
some other candidate less objectionable_to
Northern sentiment, upon whom they may
concentrate with a reasonable prospect of
success. Whether it be Field, Seymour,
Morrison, Hancock, or some comparatively
unknown personage, like Franklin Pierce
or James K. Polk, remains to be deter
mined after the denouement at Chicago.
But of this thing the friends of Senator
Bayard may rest assured. Should he in
any event be selected as the standard
bearer of the national Democracy, from
Maryland to Texas the people of the
Sonth will rally to his support with a una
nimity and enthusiasm rarely ever wit
nessed. It would be a privilege, indeed,
to be allowed to cast a ballet for one who
represents in his person all the grandeur
and virtues of the purer days of the re
public.
Model Legislation.
As an evidence of the manner in which
our modern lawgivers perform their
functions, the New York liulletin has this
to say of some of the acts of the late New
York legislature:
The published list bf bills passed by the
legislature just before adjournment af
fords some curious specimens of minute
government. For instance, an entire day
was spent in discussing the momentous
question of the size of apple barrels, and
a law regulating the size was accordingly
enacted. The next thing we suppose will
be an act to amend an act regulating the
price of putty or the size of the traditional
piece of chalk. Next, we have a bill to
Uiiraivil iruiu i.itiuuivg on rail
way cars. Doubtless it is eminently de
sirable to prevent children from intrud
ing into places where they are not
wanted, but one would suppose
that that sort of business might safely
be left to the natural guardian? of
the children themselves, or to the railroad
employes; but when paternal govern
ment once mounts a hobby, nothing, not
even the little children, need expect to es
cape its attention. We also notice a “bill
to authorize trustees of religious co:pora-
tions to appoint officers to preserve order
at their meetings.” Singular that it never
occurred to the trustees of these corpora
tions that it is quite within theirsphere to
appoint' such officers without going to
Albany forpermission todoso. The next
thing will be to have senators and assem
blymen appointing ianitors, errand boys,
etc. Seriously, is not all this sort of thing
tending to bring a State government into
contempt, at the same time that it conveys
the implication that the people are so
many imbeciles, absolutely incapable of
doing anything for themselves'.
Verily, the world is too much governed

Tiie Tribune says the meetingof Veter
ans held in Chicago yesterday (Junc.l)
was called in tbc belief that it could be
made a tender to the Grant machine. The
third term managers supposed they could
count on the soldiers to be unanimons in
favor of their old chief. It turned out,
however, that half of them were earnestly
opposed to Grant’s nomination, and a
resolution indorsing him as the soldiers’
choice for the Presidency divided the
meeting so closely that it was only carried
by the aid of General Steward L. Wood
ford, who was in the chair.

Although we have grown' used to the
tremendous change which lias taken place
in this respect, and by such slow degrees
as to mitigate the startling effect of its sig
nificance, it reads like a fairy story to
carry ourselves back five years, and, from
that standpoint, to contemplayr the per
fected situation to-day. At that time
New Orleans was almost an inland town.
Although we had the finest deep-water
harbor in the world, and lay at the
mouth of tlie river which, with its tribu
taries, drained an area as vast as the con
tinent of Europe, we were virtually de
prived of a majority of the benefits by the
fact that our outlet to the sea was im
practicable for the larger class of vessels,
and dangerous and expensive fur the
medium. We could not compete with the
Atlantic ports, notwithstanding our tre
mendous natural advantages, because of
the difficulties and risks attending tne nav
igation of the passes.
To-day we have a permanent channel
of over thirty feet in depth connecting the
deep water of the river proper with the
deep water of the sea. Steamers pass, to
and fro without detention or dauger of
detention, and without expense other
than that of pilotage, which is incurred at
all ports and which all careful shipmas
ters are willing to sustain. South Pass,
which five years ago was riot navigable
for vessels drawing over six feet, is now
a magnificent stream 1,000 feet in width,
with a central channel varying from 250
to 500 feet in width, where twenty-six
feet is the least depth on the outer edges,
arid where thirty-five feet is the average
prevailing depth of the middle. This
channel has also projected beyond the jet
ties, for at a distance of 500 feet outside of
the sea walls there is a well defined char
nel 1,000 feet in width, with a depth of
twenty-six feet on the edges, and of thirty-
two and thirty-seven feet in the centre.
And now this miraculous change, this
conversion of a wretched lagoon into a
broad, swift thoroughfare of commerce
has been wrought in five years. During
that interval New Orleans has become a
formidable competitor of New York.
With a net work of river routes reaching
from the eastern slope of the Rocky Moun
tains to the western slope of the Alleglia-
nies, and from the Canadian line to the
Gulf .of Mexico, all paying tribute to tlie
common route; with a land-locked harbor
in which the navies of the world can ride,
and with a permanent deep water outlet to
the sea, New Orleans has bounded from a
fourth-rate port of entry into the front
rank of commercial depots. No wonder
that great railway and transporta
tion corporations seeking cheap and prac
tical access to the seas are turning their
eyes toward New Orleans and the Missis
sippi delta. No wonder that, whereas five
years ago it was impossible to have a Tex
as railroad built, there is now an enor
mous volume of capital ready to seek that
investment, and the long-neglected New
Orleans bids fair to become the object of
a jealous and eager rivalry. We are, in
deed, on tlie threshold of a new era of de
velopment and progress. The outlet of
the great Mississippi lias demonstrated its
capacity to meet all the demands of com
merce, and the trans-continental stream of
traffic is about to follow tlie laws of econ
omy, and turn its rich volume south waid
into the majestic channel which nature
fashioned for it.
As the Congressional committee is now
investigating tlie great subject of tlie im
provement of the Mississippi river, every-
iLioj bvai I115 Uii tlio prAOtiDal nf
these jetties is of singular interest. They
really solve the whole problem and co
operate with and compel nature to do the
work. They have really deepened the
bed of the river below New Orleans in
the course of five years about thirty f :et,
and the same treatment of the river above
New Orleans will, in time, produce sim
ilar results, and wear out a deep clianuel,
sous to give high and firm banks to the
whole stream; and not only greatly in
crease its navigable facilities and do away
•with all dangers from crevasse aud over
flow, but drain all the swamps on its
margin—throw immense tracts of most
valuable land in market, and make the
whole river valley of the Mississippi
healthy.
In our opinion, a scheme for the im
provement of the Mississippi river by the
national goverainent should contemplate
careful survey and valuation of all the
swamp aud overflowed lands on tlie river,
and that when the improvements are
completed these lands, whether public or
private, should be taxed with tbe outlay
amt interest thereon, until collected.
Whar is Susan Anthony?
The public expectation has been on
tip-toe to learn ' what that battalion of
Amazons, representing the Bloomers and
strong-minded women of the East, North
and West have accomplished at Chicago,
in the way of incorporating the “plank 1
of female suffrage into the platform of
the Radical convention. Every one has
been on the gut rite to hear their shrill
shrieks rising above the din and uproar
of that vast piebald assemblage, bat in
vain. Thus far the red-visaged Yankees,
the brusque New Yorkers, the coarse
hoosiers and black and tan Southrons,
have been so ungallant as to snub their
sisters, some of whom now wear the
breeches and are desirous that all should
be invested with tbe same “unmention
ables.” Susan and her squalling (so-
called) female associates are decidedly in
the background. But mayhap they will,
yet be heard from with louder emphasis
thau the centennial steam calliope.
An exchange tlius paints, colour de rose,
tbe mission of Miss Susan: Lovely wo
man has gone ou to Chicago In a parlor
car and is standing ready to hurl iuto the
Cleeago platform a plank tliat will float
her forevermore in triumph to the polls.
Heaven bless her; what a queer, dear
darling she is, to be sure. She will be for
going out and fighting the wild aboriginal
savages next. And then she will take to
running locomotives and sawing wood
and will want to be the secretaryess of
the navy. Well, well, why should any
body desire to restrain the dear creature-
from airing these soulful aspirations?
They amuse her and—and they amuse
other people too. Thera is something so
droll in the sweet thing’s desire to vote
wlwn, anytime, everyone of her can make
ftom one bo twenty ineu. vote for anybody
or anything that she pleases. But it is
just woman-like, so what is the use of
bothering about it? And as to the plank
that she wants in the Chicago platfoim,
why she shall ask for just as many planks
as the chooses; of course she shall.
Gen. Grant and his family, according
to tlie Tribune, are said to have engaged
rooms for the entire season at Manitou
Springs, Colorado. They are expoctod
there immediately after the convention;
and it is thought that the general, while
staying there, will visit different parts of
tlie mining region. Ex-Senator Chaffee
and his daughter have also taken rooms
at the Springs; and it is graphically'stated
tliat “the ‘Saratoga of tlie West’ booms.”
K|no George, of Greece, is undertak
ing a little diplomacy in person. Hp is
now in Paris, and will-probably visit all
the great powers, with a view of availing
his little kingdom of some new territory
in settling boundaries under the Berlin
treaty.
How it looks at Chicago.
Grant’s Lines Stiffe:Ang!~'
The following dispatch from the Phila
delphia Times seems to throw more light
upon the movements of the.oontendmg
factions at Chicago than anything we have
seen:
Bit before tlie afternoon ^or#away the
new Grant line was visible, and it bristled
with all the implemifots of war. It waS
settled "that - the “convention 'would' be
organized in tlie interest of the opposition,
and that t’ ere-would be no - distracting-}-^
skirmishes, but it left tbe Grant men only
one thiug do—to look after voles. To
night there is a', stiffening of the Grant
lines i and missionary and commercial
hunts after “tlie weak “anil straggling,
which teach the shrewd leaders of the
opposition tliat the Grant men are making
flank movement that will require
the best strategy, and the most
cordial unity to "defeat it; and it is
beginning to dawn upon the Blaine and
the Sherman managers that if both of
them remain in the contest Grant will
wear them out and win the nomination.
There are enough ready to desert under
any plausible pretest, and the aspect of
tlie battle is so changed now tliat Grant’s
safety is not in tbe first ballot, but in
many hallo's. The Grant men now want
peace and patience, and they expect tbe
trietion of combining the opposition to give
them victory. They will have about
three hundred votes to start with, which
will be from twenty-five to fifty more than
Blaine and one hundred and fifty more
than Sherman, and they " count
tLat their line is - the only
one that will never lose but steadily
gain. They have now no tactics to in
vent. They waut individual votes and
there is not a doubtful delegate anywhere
to-night who is not reached for by wliat is
regarded as the best appliance to bring
him to Grant at some stage of the contest.
The opposition leaders were not prepared
for this new movement. It is not now
the odious unit rule that is to be defeated,
but Cameron, Coukling, Logan and their
lieutenants are to be beaten by getting
more, votes for some one man thau
they can get for Giant. This forces
tbe opposition to tbe always perilous
change of front under fire. They must
now look each other in the face. They
must unite on one man and then hold
their discordant and hitherto bunglingly
commanded followers against straggling
It is well understood that some of the
Pennsylvania bolters against Grant in
structions will fall back to his support
whenever they are required to decide be
tween Grant and either Blaine 6r Sher
man, and unless the convention shall be
swept to some dark horse by a sudden
whirlwind the abandonment of Blaine
would give Grant all tbe votes be needs to
make a majority.
Mr. Tilden’s Withdrawal.
A double-leaded editorial from the
Nashville American says tbe fact is now
well authenticated, if we can believe re
liable reports direct from headquarters,
tliat Mr. Tiiden will not be a candidate,
for tba nomination at Cincinnati. EST-
Gov. Robinson, of New York, will attend
the convention as Mr. Tilden’s friend and
representative, armed with plenary power
to withdraw his name from tbe considera
tion of tliat body. Satisfactory reasons
will ba given for this course, based oa
political policy or tailing health, or both.
The vote of New York will be cast,
at Mr. Tilden’s dictation, for Hon.
H. B. Payne, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Such of Mr. Tilden’s present advo
cates as can be controlled by bis dic
tation, will also favor tbe nomination of
Mr. Payne. What effect this will have
upon the final result cannot, at present,
even be guessed. Such a step on the part
of New York will be opposed by Mr.
Thurman, Mr. JeWelt and Gov. Bishop
in Oliin. Tho first turn an> aspimoto fo»
the presidency, and the third for the vice
presidency. The nomination of Mr. Payne
would defeat the hopes of all three. Such
action by New York would also sadlv
disappoint Mr. Randall, Judge Field and
Senator Randolph, of New Jersey,
each of whom has received assur
ances that his nomination would
be acceptable to Mr. Tiiden. It
is said that a strong pressure is being
brought on Mr. Tiiden for the puipose of
inducing him not to throw bis strength to
Mr. Payne, because it would be risking
tlie presidency on tbe October election in
Ohio. That is the only State which has a
State election in the fall. With the well
known power of the Republican managers
to raise and use money for electioneering
purposes, it is insisted by those opposing
Mr. Payne that tbe risk would be too
hazardous with him as tlie nominee. Mr.
Tiiden has not yielded to the pressure
against Mr. l’ayne, but takes tbe ground
that be can name four men who will sub
scribe $500,000 for tbe Ohio canvass, if
necessary, provided Mr. Payne is tbe
presidential nominee. Who the four
men are no one knows, but the guess is
that Mr. Tiiden, Mr. Payne and his son,
and Mr. W. L. Scott, of Erie, Pa., are the
quartette. We shall see what we shall
see.
Baptist Association.
Petersburg, June 5.—The Baptist
general association reassembled yester
day. Rev. T. S. Dunaway offered a reso
lution that some suitable monument be
erected to tlie memory of the late Rev.
J. B. Jeter, D. D., by the Baptists of Vir
ginia and tbe entire country, and that this
association has heard with pleasure of
the contemplated erection of a memorial
hall at Richmond college for library pur
poses.
Dr. W. L. Thomas, of Norfolk, offered
a resolution, which was adopted, that the
work for the endowment of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary ought to be
continuously and vigorously prosecuted in
Virginia, until tlie quota of the State
shall have been raised.
H. K. Elieyson,-correspondingsecretary
of the State mission board, presented tbe
fifty-seventh annual report. It makes a
gratifying exhibit of work done during tbe
past year and anticipates a bright future.
Since the presentation of the last report
the board treasurer Las received $0,936,
and paid out $6,505. On tbe first of June
there was due Baptist missionaries $5,849.
After .deducting the balance in the
treasurer’s hands, $4,SS0 were still ueeded
to pay them.'
At the night session the annual report
of the foreign mission board was read.
Rev. J. H. Eagen, recently appointed
missionary to China,and others, addressed
the association on foreign missions.

majority report, so far as it relates to the
remaining Illinois contests, was then
adopted by a vita voce vote.
Of motion of Sewell, of New Jersey,
the convention, at 2:20, adjourned till 11
o’clock this morning. v
SECOND "DISPATCH.
Chicago, 11:15 a. h.—Delegates are
.steadily assembling,andthe galleries filling
"rapidly, despite heavy showers ot rain and
a sultry atmosphere, partially relieved by
occasional thunder.
The usual rounds of applause were
given to notable delegates as they entered
the hall. Garfield especially was re
ceived with much- enthusiasm—probably
because, in some contingencies, he is
considered a possible winning dark horse
in the Presidential race.
Tlie convention was called to order at
11:45 a. m., at which time the delegates
generally were in their seats, aud an im
mense audience in the’galleries and in tlie
rear of the floor. Prayer was offered by
Rer. John'R. Baxter, of Washington.
The contestants from the Illinois dis
tricts aie in their seats. • Tlie question of
the Kansas contestants is now being taken
up.
THIRD DISPATCH.
Chicago, June 5.—At the end of the
prayer the chair stated the question to be
on tbe report of the committee on creden
tials in the case of Kansas. Conger briefly
explained and sustained tbe majority re
port. The convention agreed to a limit
in debate on Kansas to 40 minutes.
Plumb, of Kansas, replied in behalf of
tlie silting members, and sustaining the
minority report.
Coukling privately denies emphatically
the report published at Baltimore stating
that he had received a letter from Grant
requesting him to consult Logan, and if it
was thought best, to withhold his name
from presentation to the convention.
Hauk, of Tennessee, said be did not
know which side of the pending question
he was on, and asked to be allowed to
speak two minutes in order to ascertain
liis own position. [Laughter.]
The chair said the gentleman must be
on one or the other side, to entitle him to
occupy any time allotted to this debate.
[Renewed laughter.] Hauk was al
lowed to proceed, and in conclusion, said
he would sustain the majority report, be
cause there was no minority report; but
he did not want to be understood thereby
as condemning the action of the congres
sional districts in Kansas. The question
was then taken by a call of States and tbe
majority report in the Kansas case sus
tained by yeas 476, nays 184.
It was noticeable that in the Kansas
case New York cast only 22 votes in the
affirmative. So the majority report, which
admits four Grant men from Kansas, was
adopted, the committee on credentials
holding that they were entitled to seats
under tlie principle of district representa
tion. The failure of the New York Grant
men to vote is understood to be caused
by a desire to have the majority report
sustained, while their votes for it would
be inconsistent with their votes in the Illi
nois cases.
The next case taken up was the contest
in the third district of West Virginia.
Tiu» mnimiti-i'fl recommended the reten
tion of thesittingmerabers who are BUiao
men. Conger explained and supported
tbe majority report. Clayton moved to
substitute the minority report—the minor
ity report recommending the admission of
the contestants.
Raum insisted that the West Virginia
case stood precisely on all fours with the
Illinois and Kansas cases, and as the con
testants from Illinois and Kansas had
been admitted those from West Virginia
should be.
Codman, of Mississippi, spoke against
the report. Hagans, of West Virginia
sustained the majority report, urging that
the contestants failed to prove before the
committee that they secured tbe votes of
a majority of the delegates to the State
convention from their Congressional dis
tricts.
Conger stated that the committee were
nearly equally divided in this case, and
rather intimated that he was not himself
clear in opinion as to the true merits of
the case. The contestants in the case are
Sherman meii. There was considerable
cross-firing between different delegates as
facts of a purely local nature.
Hayman, of California, said that each
side here claims to be district representa
tives. Tbe only controverted question is
as to whether the sitting or contesting del
egates were tbe legally chosen representa
tives of the districts involved.
The vote was then taken by a call of
States upon substitutingT.be minority for
the majority report, aud resulted 417 yeas,
330 nays.
So the motion to substitute the minori
ty report was agreed to, and the. conven
tion voted viva voce to seat the contest-
arils. - ' , - - ■
The Grant, Sherman, arid Edmunds
men appeared to combine on this affirma
tive vote.
The next case was Utah—the debate
upon it to be limited to 30 minutes.
The 330 votes of negation on tlie
West Virginia case is regarded by many
as indicating that Blaine’s strength in the
convention is at least as great as that of
Grant.
The roll of States was called on the mo
tion to substitute the minority for the
majority report, and thus seat the Utah
constituents, resulting-in 426 yeas, 312
nays. So the minority report was substi-
stituted. New York voted 50 ayes, 17
noes. Tbe vote was in no sense a test of
the strength of tlie respective factions, the
partisans of different candidates dividing.
The convention then admitted the Utah
contestants. -
- V FOURTH DISPATCH.
Chicago,June 5.—Mr. Garfield.’s rising
was greeted with great applause, .ne in
quired of Sharpe, of New York, who
made the minority, report from the com
mittee on rules and order of business,
how much time he desired for discussion
of said report.
Sharpe replied that he did not design to
detain the convention unnecessarily, but
he could tell better what his course would
be after Mr. Garfield had stated his own
motion.
Mr. Garfield then. moved the adoption
of the majority report, and hoped any
proposed amendment would be presented
before debate should begin. Both the
•majority and minority reports were read
for information. The chair stated the
question to be on the motion of Garfield
to adopt the majority report.
Sharpe offered the following resolution:.
Resolved, That this convention will
proceed at once to ballot for candidates
for President of the United States and
tliat one speech of fifteen minutes shall be
allowed for presentation of each candi
date and one speech of tan minutes to
second each nomination, and that after
such nominations are made the ballot
shall be. takgn by a call of the role of
States.
Garfield raised the point of order that
under the order of the convention the re
port of the committee on rules was before
the body, and Sharpe’s motion being for
proceeding to an entirely different busi
ness was not in order.
The chair ruled Sharpe’s' motion in or
der.
A vote was ordered^ by*a call of the
States.
This motion was at first a surprise,
coming from anti-Blaine men. Sharps
modified the resolution so as to provide
that after the nominating speeches shall
have been made ballots for presidential
nominees shall lie taken by a call of the
roll of States.
After some discussion, the chair stated
the question to be upon the substitution

commlttefe), fbqll, within twelve months,

[Applause.]
Boutwell accepted Butterworth’s
amendment.
Garfield hoped the amendment would
be accepted, and it was so adopted by the
convention, and the rules were adopted
as a whole'. •
On motion of Garfield the committee
on resolutions was ordered to report.
The resolutions were reported' by
Pierrepont, of New York.
The following is the platform: The
resolution, after reviewing the adminis
tration of the Republican party, asks for
the continued confidence and support of
the people, and submits for their approval
the following statement of principles and
purposes which will continue to inspire
it:
t. It affirms, that the work of the last
twenty-one years has been such as to com
mend itself to the favor of the nation,
and the fruits of victory should be pre
served; that the dissevered Union happily
restored should be pjrpetuated. Credit
should never he impaired and reviving
industries should be further promoted.
The constitution is the supreme- law,
and not a mere contract of confederated
States. Out of sovereign States it made
a nation. Some powers are denied to the
nation, while others are deined to the
States; but the boundary between the
powers delegated and those withheld,
is to be determined by the nation, and
not by State tribunals.
3. Public education is to be left to the
care of the States, but it is the duty of the
national government to aid that work
to the extent of its constitutional duty.
4. Recommends that the constitution
be amended so as to forbid the legislatures
of States to make any law respecting the
establishment of any religion, ano to for
bid the appropriation of" public funds to
the support of sectarian schools.
5. Affirms the belief that duties levied for
purposes of revenue should so discriminate
as to favor American labor. No further
grants of public domain to corporations.
Slavery having perished in the States its
twin barbarity, polygamy, must die in tbe
territories. That everywhere protection
should be accorded to citizens of Ameri
can adoption.
6. Acknowledges obligations to men
who protected its interests in' the hour of
battle; invokes Congress and the treaty
making power to restrain and limit Chi
nese immigration.
7. Endorses the administration-of Pres
ident Hayes.
8. Charges that the Democratic party,
to obtain possession of tbe national aud
State governments and control of place
and position, have obstructed all efforts to
promote the purity and to conserve the
freedom of the suffrage, and have devised
fraudulent returns; iiave labored to un
seat lawfully elected members of Con
gress, to secure at all hazards the vote of
a majority of the Stales in the House of
Representatives; have endeavored to occu
py by force and fraud places of trust given
toothers by the people of Maine, and
were only foiled by the courageous action
ofUniiw'i patriotic sons; liave attached
partisan riders to appropriation bills,
upon whose passage the very move
ments of the government depend;
have crushed the rights of individuals;
advocated the principles and sought to fur
ther rebellion against tlie nation, and en
deavored to obliterate the sacred memo
ries of the war and overcome its inestima
bly valuable results—nationality, personal
freedom and individual equality before
the law and tbe protection ot all citizens
in the enjoyment of all privileges and im
munities granted by the constitution.
The dangers of the solid South can only
be avoided by the faithful performance of
promises which tbe nation lias made to its
citizens. Tbe execution of tlie laws and
the punishment of all those who violate
them are the only safe methods with which
enduring peace can be secured, and gen
eral prosperity be established throughout
tbe South. The solid South must be di
vided by the peaceful agencies of tbe bal
lot, and opinion must there find free ex
pression; and to this end honest voters
must protest against terrorism, violence
and fraud.
After the resolutions had been
read, Barker, of Massachusetts, moved to
amend by adding, the following: “The
llepublitan party, adhering to the princi
ples affirmed by its last national conven
tion of respect.for the constitutional rules
governing appointments to office, adopts
tbe declaration of President Hayes, tliat
reform in the civil service shall be thor
ough, radical aud complete. To that end
it demands the co-Operation of the legisla
tive with the executive department of the
government, aud that Congress shall’so
legislate that Jonly fitness ascertained
by proper means shall ever admit
to the public service; that the tenure of
administrative offices, except those
through which tlie distinctive policy of
the party in power, shall be carried outt
shall be permanent during good behavior,
and that the power of removal for cause,
with due responsibility for good conduc,
of subordinates, shall accompany the pow
er of appointment.”
Anthony, of Illinois, moved an amend
ment', which Barker accepted, and the
amendment of Barker was adopted, and
then the resolution as amendedj was also
adopted without a call of the States.
The resolution as adopted omits the
tenure of office clause practically as orig
inally introduced.
Creswell, of Maryland, moved a recess
till 7 to-night, which was adopted.
FIFTH DISPATCH.
Chicago, June 5.—Tiie convention was
called to order In evening session at 7:15
o’clock,but it was ten minutes later before
delegates enough were in their seats to
admit of the opening of business. - A. com
munication was read from Mr. Root, call
ing attention to historical associations con
nected with the gavel used by the presiding
officer of the convention. Its head is made
from pine wood taken from tlie home of
Abraham Lincoln, and the handle from.a
cane grown on the Mount Yemon estate,
the home of Washington. The presiding
officer is asked to accept it as a memento
of the most interesting convention indie
history of tlie Republican party.
HaH moved that the roll of States be

committee on rules. Upon a viva voce Mexico, S. T. Elkin; Utah, W. Bennett
Logan inquired how many were al
lowed to second nominations.
The chair said the rule made no pro
viso for speeches inseconding nominations,
but allowed ten minutes- for the presenta
tion of each candidate.
Conger asked unanimons consent that
five minutes be given for seconding each
nomination immediately after the nomi
nation is made, and it was so ordered.
Hale’s motion was then agreed to, and
the roll was called.
Joseph F. Joy, of Michigan, rose and
took the platform, in response to numerous
calls. Z fter some reference to the pub
lic life of his proposed nominee, he pre
sented for nomination to the presidency
James G. Blaine.
The mention of his name was received
with grand demonstrations of applause
among the audience, both in the galleries
and-on the floor. The nominating speech
was not inspiring in its delivery, and the
demonstration of applause which inter
rupted it must be attributed to its subject
alone.
A renewed mention of Blaine’s name at
the conclusion of Joy’s speech was the sig
nal for another wild scene of confusion
and excitement, the larger half of the au
dience and all the Blaine delegates rising
and cheering vociferously, waving flags,
fans, hats, umbrellas, etc., most frantic
ally. TJte lady who was so conspicuous
in the remarkable scene last night is said
to he Mrs. Charles F. Deems, widow of
a soldier of New York, andthe flag which
she displayed is said to hare been Lin
coln’s. Again to-night she was present
ou the platform with the flag in one hand
%nd a fan in the other and cheering loudly
until the bystandeispulled her down from
her seat and tore the flag in tatters in
their efforts to take it frOm her, while she
folded it about her peison and struggled
for its possession. The confusion con
tinued fully tea minutes, when a loud-
voiced delegate ' succeeded in at
tracting attention, and demanded to know
whether the convention was not capable
of protecting itself from tbe mob in tbe
galleries, l’ixley seconded the nomina
tion of Blaine in a speeeh of considerable
length.
When Minnesota was called, E. F.
Drake presented the name of W. M.
Windom, which was also received with
great but speedily suppressed applause.-
When New York was called, Conkling
rose, mounted the reporters- platform and
then took a position on reporters’ table.
H6 too was received with long continued
and vociferous, though not such general
applause and cheering as his mention of
the name of Grant received, with renewed
demonstrations lasting two or three min
utes.
Conkling’s speech was an eloquent pan
egyric on the life and services of Grant
ami the need of the hour; not a candidate
who can cany the States which are surely
Republieau, but who can carry doubtful
States; South as well a* North. Grant
could carry the doubtful State of New
York and several in tbe South. [Ap
plause.] He briefly reviewed the third
term objection to Grant and urged there
was no objection to any man weighed in
the balance anil not found wanting.
[Cries of “time, time,” but be paid no at
tention to them aud was. soon permitted
to proceed.]
Towards the conclusion he said the con
vention was the master of supreme pow
ers. It cau make the next President, and
also make sure his peaceful inauguration.
Democratic success is a menace to order
and progress, which this convention can
overthrow, and emancipate the solid
South. It can make the Republican army
march to certain victory with its greatest
chief at its bead.
As Conkling took his seat there was
another scene of disorder, and im
mense cheering by tbe supporters of.
Grant, which continued ten minutes.
Bradly, of Kentucky, seconded Grant’s
nomination in a brief aud eloquent five-
minute speech.
When Ohio was called, Garfield, amid
great cheering, advanced to the same po
sition which Conkling had occupied. When
order was restored, he said that he
was always touched by sentiments in hon
or of Grant. He had seen the sea in its
fury of storm. It was a grand sight, but
he remembered that, after all, it is the
calm level of tbe sea from which all
heights and depths are measured. He
coiuiseled calm and quiet consideration in
the hour of determining their duties here.
[Applause.]
The applause and noise which followed
Sherman's nomination came from those
who made up in persistent effort what
they lacked in numbers. The chair did
uot seem to feel called upon to make any
effort to check it, and so much additional
time was wasted, until finally a storm of
hisses secured comparative quiet.
Winkler, of Wisconsin, and Elliot, of
South Carolina, colored, seconded Sher
man’s nom'mation, the latter taking an op
portunity also to pay a graceful compli
ment to Blaine. He said if any candidate
went into the canvass relying on the vote
of any southern State for his election, he'
would fail.
Vermont being called, Billings rose and
put iu nomination the*name of Edmunds
as the most fitting mau to be branded
upon the Republican banner. The nomi
nation was seconded by Sanford, of Massa
chusetts.
Chicago, June 5.—Cassiday, of Wis
consin, presented the name of E. B.
Washburne, of Illinois, as that of one
who would give unity to the party and
who is at once capable and worthy of the
public confidence which his merits com
mand. Washburne’s name was received
witli marked applause. .
Brandage, of Connecticut, seconded the
nomination of Washburne. This was a
faithful Republican, whose name was the
only name sure of carrying every doubt
ful State, aud thus securing victory for the
Republican party. He urged him,
also, as tlie friend of Grant, whose
influence, in the dark hours of the war,
brought the silent man from the South
west and put him in command in "Vir
ginia, to crush tlie head of the rebellion.
He uiged that Washburne’s name would
rally tbe German vote, and thus secure
New York' and redeem Connecticut, aud
aid powerfully in securing Republican
control in the national councils. The
speech was one of the strongest of the
night, bat the late hour forbids justice in
; its report.
Ou motion of Mr. Morse, of Massachu
setts, the convention, at 11:50, adjourned
till 10 o’clock Monday morning.
