Bird, Wabash; and W. & Spiers, Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw. ‘There were also present Chairman Albert Fink and his secretaries, C. H. Crosby and Isaac Mar- ins. Commissioner Fink opened the procecd- ings with a few remarks, and reading the callfor the meeting. ‘The Committee on Classification, through its Chairmen, Mr. F. H. Kingsbury, submitted a re- port recommending that an entirely new classi- fication system be adopted. Instead of having ‘the articles classified in four classes, with extra classes for flour, grain, live stock, provisions, tte, there should be hereafter fourteen classes, —that is all the extra classes, as well as the clas- fification above or below the regular classes rhould bedone away with, so that everything could be properly classified without resorting to troublesome additions and deductions. The re- ‘port was adopted. Tne Committee on Revision of Tariff to New England Points made it3 report through its Chairman, Mr. H. J. Hayden, recommendi ere eee rates aoe lap ge Englan e seaports be charged hereafter. Tis was also adopted. ‘The revision of rates on live hogs to New En- eet pam was next taken under considera- ti jeretofore the rate on live hogs to New England points has been 10 cents per 100 pounds above the rates on provisions. It was charged that some of the Eastern roads had given spe- cial rates to favored shippers, charging only provision rates. This reduction enabled packers atthe East to cut up the hogs and sell the prod- uct at Eastern points for less money than could bedone by Western packers. The roads thus accused offered sundry excuses, but were not able to clear themselves. After a heated dis- cussion it was resolved that on and after _ March }, the rate on live hogs to New York should de five cents per 100 pounds in excess of pro- Vision rates, and that Boston and New England rates should be the seme as to New York; all rebates on live hog shipments, whether intended for domestic or foreign use, to be strictly pro- hibited. ‘This action is not satisfactory to the Western men, who wanted the rate cn live hogs 10 be made the same as on provisions, because the five cents extra will give Eastern packers just that much advantage over the Western packers, After this came the tug of war—namely; a motion was made that the resolution adopted at ie last mecting of the High Joints, ‘that it is Tegurded as inéxpedient and undesirable to tmuke any change in frieght rates to points fected by Chicago, and that no changes. be made therein until’ end unless they be first gabmitted to and decided by the Joint aria Committee, of whose action due and Public notice shall be given,” be reconsidered, areduction in rates on grain from Chi- saa be mt once decided upon.

NO HeR Joints” ath THE WEST SIDE UNION DEPOT. Mr. F. Slataper, Chief Engineer of the Penn- sylvania Company, hascompleted the plans for .the new Union Depot between Canal street and the river and Madison and Van Buren streets, and contracts will be awarded immediately and work commenced as soon as the wenther will permit. The new structure will be one of the finest railroad depots in the country, and will be inferior only to the Grand Central Depot in Now York. It will extend from a point 150 feet south of Madison street to a point 240 feet north of Van Buren street, and will have a width of 185 feot and a length of 1,360 feet, all of which will be under iron arches covered with an fron roof. The structure will be divided in two parts by the Adams street viaduct, but beneath the Mesuet ao tracks will be continuous. It will contain five through trac! serra ceranls cite ae eae shown in the following diagram J ‘Madison street. Daggege. g g 2 3 Ff a Pa 3 B Adams: street. [ 3 eS 3 3 J 3 3S a} {3 FS is sz on es Ss a| - |2 £8 rs} Es ‘a ‘Van Buren street.. —————— ‘The main building for offices, ‘waiting-rooms, etc., will be a little north of the Adams strect viaduct, with a [ear on Canal street of 200 feet, anda width of fifty-eight feet. This part of the spat will be three stories in hight, sur- mounted by three towers similar to those on the Rock Istand depot, two on each end and one in the centre. ‘his building will have two en- trances on Canal street, one large and very elaborate one in the centre, which leads into general waiting-rooms on each side of a large Stairway leading down to the track-level, and another smaller near the north end that leads directly into_ the ladies” aralting rooms astair- way also leads directly.from this room to the tracks. ‘The ‘général receptidn-rooms and of- fices will be on the second floor, which is even with the Canal strect level. This building is flanked on each end by a bagenge-room 150 feet by 25 feet, that one on the south end being south of Adams street viaduct. The lower or basement floor, which is on the: track-level, will be occupied by the lunch and smoking rooms, depotmaster’s and conductors’ rooms, and an enzine-room. The second or main floor will bo divided into dining-rooms, gencral watt- ing-rooms, ladies’ waiting-room_ with private room, and private _lunch-room for. ladies, and the ticket-office. The third floor will be subdi- vided into oftices for the use of the local depart- ments of the roads and the kitchen. At the south end-of the main building, immediately. north of Adams street viaduct, will be a covered stairway leading to the track-level. A hand- some veranda will extend the whole length of the main building and baggage-rooms on tho Canal-street front, These’ buildings will be of Philadelphia pressed brick, biack points, with ornamental and highly’ claborate stone trimmings. The kind of stone to be used has not yet been decided upon. The main structure will be surmounted by three. towers, one’ on cach end,and one in the centre directly over the grand entrance. The hight of the building from the entry to the main ball to the cornice Will be sixty-four feet, and from the level of the track to the top of the main or central tower, 10tfeet. The two side towers will be from ten to twelve feet lower than the central tower. The hight of the basement floor will be thirteen feet; main floor. twenty-five feet; third floor, eighteen fect. The building will be as nearly fire-proof as possible. ‘The first and main stories will be entirely of iron and brick, with tile and marble flooring. ‘The top tloor will have jron girders with wood joists, and all floors will ‘be deadencd with three inches of cement, The yaftersand frame work of the roof and towers Will be of iron, and the covering will be slate and tin with’ iron. trimmings. The reception rooms are to be elaborately finished in hard wood. : ‘The baggage will be delivered from the Canal street level. The exact cost of the building has not been fully estimated, but will be over $1- 000,000. ‘The depot is being built jointly by the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, Chicago & Alton, and Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. There will be room enough, however, for sever- al other roads, which may ‘come in when the structure is completed. Itig expected to have the new depot ready for use in less than 8 year. THE RAILROAD TRAN: SPORTATION QUESTION. Jo the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. New Yonrs, Feb. 21.—In your editorial of the 19th inst., under the heading of the “Henderson Railroad Bill,” you say: “An examination of the full text of the Henderson bill induces us to regard it as more satisfactory than the Reagan bill, inasmuch as it provides for a National Commission, which the Reagan pill omitted al- together.”" On behalf of this Board, which has been labor- ing diligently for the past five years to secure arailroad commission for this State, a8 well as jn the direction of National supervision of inter- State commerce, and to prohibit unjust dis- criminations by common carriers, I would beg leave to say that it is the opinion of this body that Judge Reagan's bill’ is much better adapted for the purpose of preventing railroad abuses than that of Mr. Henderson, which, under severe pressure of public opinion, has doubtless been prepared in the interests of the railroads to avoll the just remedial measures embraced in the Reagan bill. ‘In concluding your editorial you say, in allud- ing to the Henderson bill, that there are sev- eral obvious und notable omissions in the bill, such as prohibition of pooling, chars a sum for less than a greater distance in the trans- portation of freight, the ublic posting of rates,” ete. All of these are fully covered by the Reagan bill, and are perbaps the most impor- tant of all the provisions required for the proper rotection of the public interests. Then the Reagan bill properly places the remedy for the qholition of its provisions in the hands of the reson aggtieved.ewho can nforce his claim and person ieiny United States Court, while the Henderson bill leaves nearly all the existing abuses to be dealt with in a purely: recommenda- tory manner by three inadequately-compensut- ed Commissioners, who, in ul probability, would be found to occupy the position of “ how not to do it” under the persuasive influence of those fogels of light-who, backed up by about $600,- ‘000 capital, direct the affairs of the railroads. ree with you thata Railroad Commission Government 4 promote the commercial interests soe ope, ‘h more ample le, to be clothed witl oe nets tharrare given by the Henderson Ly and whose compensation shall be com- mensurate with the high order of talent, Jarge experience, and personal integrity, re- i successfully the most "import es and trust ‘that men could be aired to perform.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New York, Feb. 26.—The designs of the Bos- ton owners of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Road havehardly begun to be understood. Not content with the projected extension.of their line to San Francisco, they have succeeded in obtaining from the Mexican Government franchises which will probably give them monopoly of the Australian, New Zealand, and South and Central ‘American business, and steps have already been taken to turn the con- cessions to immediate use. In May lnst was in- corporated in Boston the Sonora Railway Com- pany, limited. Its President is: B. P. Cheney. Its Directors are Directors of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé. All its stock has been subscribed for by the stockholders of that Company. It will run from Guymas, a sca- port on the Gulf of California, ina northerly direction, through Sonora, via Hermosille and Ures, to the Arizona frontier, where connection will be made, at a point not yet determined, with New Mexico and the Southern Pa- cific Branch of the Atchison, Topeka & BSanta Fé, which is being ‘constructed down tho Rio Grande River from™ Albuquerque, and has reached Las Vegas., Tho route has been surveyed, and a force of men are to begin work within the next six weeks. It will bo between 250 and 260 miles in length. Last week rails. sufficient for the | first thir- ty. miles were purchased in England, where one of the Directors is now engaged in making arrangements for a monthly supply, to be delivered regularly until the road is com- pleted. The rails will be allowed to enter free of duty, which, it is estimated, will save the Company $2,000 per mile in the cost of construction. ‘Those interested claim that this route will be 300 miles shorter than the present route from New York to San Francisco, and will bring Australia and Now Zealand 1,000 niiles nearer this’ city than now. They thus expect to monopolize the great and growing wool trade of those countries, and to build up |; with them a large business in American man- ufactures, On the River Zaglu, in Sonora, sev- enty milesfrom the line of the road, are what are asserted to be tho largest anthracite coal- fields in the world outside of Pennsylvania. The coal is true anthracite, said to be supe- rior in quality to the Lehigh product. In addition to supplying themselves cheaply, the Company expect to furnish vsesels at Guy- mas at $4 per ton for the Australian trade, as well as the whole of Arizona, California, and far West, where anthracite coal has never yet been found in paying quanti- ties. Another Industry will consist in supplying Southwestern and Pacific Coast States and Ter- ritories from the abundance of fish and oysters in the waters of the Gulf of California. It is claimed that these oysters.are the only decent oysters on the whole Pacitic Coast. Now theState of Sonora js a large wheat-growing country, and furnishes the west eonst of Mexico and Arizona with superior flour. ‘Two crops per annum have been produced tor two years past,—one of wheat and one of corn,—without injuring the soil. Cot- ton, barley, oats, tobacco, and sugar-cano are also grown successfully. Within a short dis- ‘tance of the proposed route are numerous gold, ellver, and copper mines,noneof which have ever been subject to more than pan-washing. The officers claim that there are less grades and fewer ongincering difficulties atong the pro- posed line than on any other rord ever con- structed. On the whole route there is no natural grade of more than sixty fect. * ‘Another scheme of the Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe is contained in the articles of Associa- tion of the Mexican Central Railroad Company, limited, Wednesday in Massachusetts. “The association has ‘authority to construct, maintain, and operate a railroad and- telegraph in the Republic of Mexico, and in accordance said Mexico."- At with the ‘laws of meeting held in Boston on Saturday last alf the stock was subscribed for. The in- tention is to construct a road from Mexico to San Francisco, and another,from. the former pace to a junction with the New Mexico & jouthern Pacific in the vicinity of El Paso. ‘The following correspondence by- telegraph passed between Boston.and.San Francisco to- ay: “Boston, Feb. 26.—To the President of the Chamber of Commerce, San Francisco, Cal. The Atlantic & Pacific Railrond has just authorized the immeciate construction of itsroud from the Rio Grande to ‘the Colorndo River; has instructed its engineer to commence work at once and to press ‘the construction as vigor- ously 18 men and money will permit. The Pa- cific terminus is as yet undecided, although strong inducements were. offered at various joints. If your citizens will extend sufficient {nducements and secure for us convenient and ample terminal facilities in San Francisco, with the necessary right of way thereto, wo will at once take steps to examine the matter with a view of commencing work at yourend at the earliest practicable dato. “THOMAS NICKERSON, - “President Atlantic & Pacitic Hailrond Company.” “San FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.—Lhomas Nickerson, Boston: The Chamber pee resolutions at once appointing a committee to carry. it into effect. Great joy and enthusinsm were dis- played. Witiiam F. Bascock, “ President Chamber of Commerce.” 3 COLE RESIGNS. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Nasnvitte, Tenn., Feb. 28.—The stockholders of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis’ Ratl- way held a called mecting this afternoon and re- celyeda communication from Col. E. Cole, Pres- ident, and adopted resolutions authorizing the Board of Directors to sell the Owensboro & Nashville and St. Louis & Southonstern Rail- roads. In his communication Col. Cole said: “I cannot consent to retain a position with the Company which may not be able to afford me unquestioned authority to protect, in my’ judg- ment, its interest and that of its patrons, and, further, because I cannot consent to deceive the Louisville & Nashville Company by professions of future coUperation when I sce that its interests and my duty as President of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway might at times conflict, and, in justice to my- self, I may be allowed to say to all concerned that I could not consent to be the executive of policies which would possibly subordinate my- self and this road to antagonistic and rival in- terests in whichI might have no voice or dis- eretion. Ido nut wish those who are to control the fortunes of your corporation to understand fora moment that I have, by anything said, in- tended to convey the idea that they will not in most perfect good faith carry out the professions of friendship and justice to all localities through which these lines acquired run. They are made by gentlemen of the highest character, and until proven false we must accept them as true. and, if carried out, asl may not doubt they will be, I shall myself, as will ev citizen of the State, award them full praise and recom~ mendation. The through line that I had formed, and in which I had confided, wus sud- denly sundered, and my ali ata trunk-line under one management from St. Loujs to the South Atlantic, concentrated at one’ port to se- cure & ‘Transatlantic line for imports and exports, has been defeated. How far. divided effort to. accommodate more than one of the South atlantic ports will be successful, I will not undertike to say; butI shall be satistied at the success of any plau that has for its object the enlarging of the commer- cial importance of the South. Iam not one of those who believe that a large iniluence in the hands of an‘ individual or corporation is neces- sarily a curse, but, on the contrary, it may be the means of many blessings to all if that'in- fluence us wer is conservatively, justly, or wisely used.” . View President Necomb, by request, delivered abrief speech, in which he said he received the fonder of Cole's resignation with deep. regret, as he wished ‘him to retain the Presidency. ‘The policy of the road, he said, would be the «me as Cole’s, because it was the only proper and wise course to pursue. The stockholders ad- journed to meet March 30. —— THE PEORIA POOL. The Peoria Associated Roads held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the Grand Pacific Hotel to consider matters appertaining to the east- bound pool from Peoria. ‘There were present: W.S. Spiers, Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw; H. C. Diehl, Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western; J. ™. Sanford, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific; @.L. Bradbury, Peoria, Decatur & Evansville; L. Jenness, Ilinois Midland; T. T. Gault, Chicago, Pekin & Southwestern; and W. H. Keuner, Sec- retary and Joint Agent. Chi were preferred against the iinols’ Midland Yor playing sharp and wicked tricks. Itis charged that this road has Intely been carrying 2 large amount of bnsi- nessdestined for the seaports which it has re- ported as going to Southern local pointe. After fg long discussion and several lame. explanations on the part of the representative of the Midland, it was decided to submit the matter to Commis- sfoner Fink for his action. The other business transacted was of no public interest. EAST-BOUND FREIGHTS. New Yous, Feb. 26.—During the present week anumber of representative railroad men have been in the city, and the fact has given rise to various rumors and many conjectures as to the object of their visit. To-day W. A. H. Love- land, of the Colorado Central Railroad, Mr Gallup, of the Boston & Albany Railroad, Judge ™. C. Sears, of the Kansas Pacific, and Gen. Howard, .of the Boston & Providence Railroad, arrived here. Late this nfternoon it was reported that a meeting of the ruilroad magnates had taken place the night be- fore, and Col, Thomas Scott, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who was called upon in regard to the matter this evening. suid it was true they held a meeting at the Windsor Hotel last night; that its object was to harmonize as far ag possible all conflicting interests of the trunk, lines. Messrs. Garrett, Jewett, Vanderbilt, Rob- erts, and himself were present. He said that there wasa meeting to-day of representatives of the Western lines in Chicago, and that the meeting hero Iast Svening was to de- termine upon the best advico to send them on tho subject of east-bound freights. “We decided,” said Mr. Scott, “ to counsel them to abandon their fighting, and to agree upon some system of equitable rutes. There were no other specitl matters to be acted upon by our conference beyond that. We want to make a little money out of this boom in the country.” TIE SOUTHERN COMBINATION. Nasuviu.e, Feb. 26.—The stockholders of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railroad met atnoon. President Cole read a statement show- ing that the earnings of the road for January were larger than ever known, and that the net increase is nearly 30 per cent for tho past seven months. He then reiterated his determination to retire from the Presidency of the road, and expressed the hope and belief that those who would in the future control it would in good faith carry out all their professions of friend- ship and justice to all localities through which their lines as ucquired will ran. Vice-President Newcomb, of the Louisville & Nashville Roud, addressing the stockholders, said the pledges of that Company would be car- ried out in good faith. hat had been the policy of President Cole must necessarily be the policy of the new administration. He suggested a committee of couference from the stock- holders of the Nashville & Chattanooga Road, and the officers present of tho Louisville & Nashville. He added it was the purpose of the Louisville & Nashville to carry out the project of u through line from St Louis to some Georgia port, and that they expect to have shipments of grain from the Northwest not only to Kurope but to New York. A resolution was adopted ordering the sule of the St. Louis & Southeastern Railway, and also the Owensboro & Nashville Railway. The meeting then adjourned to March 30, ITEMS. ‘The Central Railroad Rate Association held a well-attended meeting yesterday at the Grand Pacific Hotel, and decided upon the change of arbitraries from a few of the interior points. Mr. 0.1. Crosby, formerly General Freight Agentof the St. Louis & Southeastern Rail- road, has been appointed Assistant to Commis- sioner Fink and Secretary of the Joint Executive Committees. 0. P. McCarty, for twelve years connected with the General Passenger Department of tho Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western, has been. nppointed Chief Clerk of the General Passenger Department of the Union Pacific Railroad at Omaha. 3 No selection for a General Manager of the Erie & North Shore Dispatch (Fast Freight) has yet been made, The representatives of the roads interested in this ne will probably mect to-day and make a selection. It is generally be- lieved that Mr. Charles S. Tappan, of the Hoosac ‘Tunnel Line, will get the place. : President J.E. Martin, of the Evansville & Terre Haute Rafiroad, informs Tre Trrone that the lease of the Evansville, Terre Haute & Chicago Railroad is entirely satisfactory to his Company. He feels authorized in saying that the Louisville & Nashville Company Wil give Chicago merchants every facility for doing busi- ness. STATE AFFAIRS. ‘WISCONSIN. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. - MADISON, Wis., Fob. 26.—{n the Senate this morning the Committee on Manufactures and Commerce reported favorably on Bennett's bill providing for the official inspection of illumi- nating oll at the fire test of 150 degrees. The bicnnial-sessions resolution, which was the special order for to-night, wus further post- poned till Wednesday evening of next week. Senator Houghton’s mandamus bill, giving the Supreme Court power to decide contested elec- tions, passed—yeas, 19; nays, 10. A bill passed to permit the State Board of Can- vassers toactas such when the members are candidates for reélection as State officers, unless objected to. Bills were concurred in’ doubling the penalty for spiking logs and lumber; requiring more ex- plicit statements of receipts and expenditures of money in the Insane Asylum. The bill was killed requiring the railrond companies to file with the Railroad Commissioner a copy of all conveyances, leases, deeds of trust, or mortgages affecting their property or franchise. In the Assembly the jonit Senate resolution was concurred in favoring a National Board of Railroad Commissioners. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the Capital-Punishment bill was killed, having been pounding on adjourn- ment. Tuesday evening, Mr. Lawrence moved to take the matter up now. A lengthy and somewhat poccau discussion followed, charges of bad faith being liberally made on both sides. After an hour aud a hulf of exciting filibuster- ing, speaker Arnold ruled all parliamentary objections out of order, and put the question to reconsider, which was carried—nyes, 50; noes, 40, for further consideration of bili was laid over till Monday afternoon of next week. ‘The Milwaukee Sewerage bill came up in the Assembly at its evening session, the question being on the indefinit postponement of the bill, which was refused by a vote of yeus39, and the bill passed—B8 yers to 34 nays. ‘This is a personal triumph for Assemblyman Simpson, The bill regarding the rate of interest. was made the speciul order for Monday evening next. ‘The bill to incorporate the city of Platteville passed under a suspension of the rules. ‘Tho bill increasing Sheriff's fees was indefinitly pastponed, VIRGINIA. RrowMonn, Fev. 2.—In the House of Dele- gates to-day, when the Riddleberger Debt bill, which passed the Senate a few days ago, came up as the special order, Mr. Hamilton offered a- substitute therefor, providing that tho principal of the debt be recognized at the sum fixed in the McCullock bill, about $32,000,000; that upon its percent per annum be paid, and that the new bonds issued thereunder be exempt from all taxation in Virginia taxes, except such as go into the School Fund. Thesubstitute further pro- vides that if, on or before the Ist of June, 1880, council of the foreign bondholdérs and the Funding Association of the United States shall together or separately accept the terms of the act they shall be authorized todo the funding, or if they fall to uccopt,the Governor may make a like contract with other responsible par- ties. ‘The bill and substitute were passed by, and the latter ordered printed. The introduction of this substitute has produced quite a sensation. Itis stated the terms of the bill were negotiated by prominent Republicans, ineluding Congress- man Jorgensen, Gen. W. C. Wiekham, Vice-Pres- ident of the Chesnpeake & Ohio Railroad, and Dr. B. H. Smith, who conferred in a ay spirit with the representatives of the bondhold- ers, und the movement is looked upon as a de- fection of the Republicans in the General As- sembly from the ranks of the Readjusters, with whom they have heretofore codperated. LOUISIANA. Byectal Dispatch to The Chtcago Tribune, WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 26.—The Mississippi plan is putin the shade by the new Louisiana invention for silencing a minority. A private telegram received to-night brings the intelli- gence that the Democrats of the State Senate have passed a resolution suspending the entire minority numbering six or seven Senators, and that the latter are now excluded from participa- tion in the proceedings. Their offense consists in having exercised their constitutional right of petition to Congress. New OrEass, Feb. 26.—The Senate adopted a resolution suspending Senators Demas, Cahen, Simms, and Stewart, charged with contempt in signing the Kellogg memorial, and ordering the Sergeant-at-Arms to keep them in custody until further orders of the Senute. OBITUARY. Lrrrz Rock, Ark., Feb. 26.—The Hon. Thomas Fletcher, of Lincoln County, died in this city to- day after a brief iiness.

The working capital of the bank will consist of moneys paid for seats in the new Board. The date of opening busi- ness is yet to be determined, THURMAN. The Ohio Democratic Boom for 01d Bill Allen’s Nephew. Interviews with Prominent Democratic Politicians of the Buckeye State. Bpectat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, Conuxeus, O., Feb. 26.—For many weeks past the attention of the country on both political sides has been completely absorbed in the con- sideration of the question, “Who shall be the Republican nominee for President in 1880?" It makes but little difference, from the Republican standpoint, of course, whom tha Democrats may nominate, as it is expected to bury him out of sight any way with a storm of popular ballots, when ‘¢lection-day comes. But, at the same time, it isa matter of some interest who the victim shall be. The Republicans have had their little booms for Sherman and Biainc, and now the time has come when the Democrats of this Btate feel that THEIR MATINEE OUGHT TO OPES. They have sat quietly by and seen: the national patronage pouring into the coffers of their Re- publican neighbors for lo! these many years past, and, witha hunger made intense by the smell of that which could appease it close at hand, they have still continued out in the cold. ‘The obtaining of the Democratic Nationa! Con- vention at Cincinnati is considered by all the politicians here a direct boom for Senator Thur- man, and they are getting ready to ga to work in dead earnest for him. I have taken occasion to interview'x number of Democratic people, and they seem to be of one opinion in regard to the matter. Without further comment I give the tulks as they have been obtained. Said one prominent Democratic State Senator: “Tilden is the Jobo Shaman of our side,— cold as an feeders, expat of swenting hail- y to become the grave afuanteomatehe joss house.’ Shere te a NO LOVE FOR HIS IN OHIO, and never was. He has his hold, just as John Sherman has his. He has the machine of the ‘irty in his hands. He has money and power. ie never could create any enthusiasm. Ho holds his power in his own person, while Sher- man hus his ‘from his long position in the Gov- ernment. Neither one has any mignetism, any warmth. Neither can obtain, by any means, the love of the people; neither one can muke his nearest friend feel that he will not sacrifice him if the time shallcome when it will help along self-interest todo so. This isa very poor nad tion to be in. No man should envy it, Now, ‘Tburman is : H rhea A NOBLE OLD TROJAN of our party. Everybody admires his long and efficient course in Congress. No man is going to Jong condemu him for the little slip he made in favor of soft money in his’Himilton speech. I happen to know all about that. He was urged, beyond all that can be imagined, to take the course he did. Heat one time absolutely re- fused. But the itiot act was read to him, and he was told that, if he would make that speech, he would surely succeed in carrying the State, and that it would be the means of making him Presi- dent. I happen to know that -thisisso. The ent man yielded. He bis suffered enough for it. It was inconsistent with his pust and his subsequent life. He NEVER BELIEVED IT. He simply echoed the desire of his party. He stood in the place of a special pleader, and said ‘what could be suid on a certain side of a ques- tion, becuuse an inducement was held out to him. Whether the Republicans see fit to go into the ‘favorit son idea’ or not, {um confident that the Democrats of the State intend to do so, and to urge ‘Thurman to the last degree.”” Auother mun, a prominent Democrat of the House. said: “Thurman comes of good blood. Ho is hard to defeat. He was born’ under a lucky star. Look at his uncle, . OLD BILL ALLEN. Next to Andrew Jackson that man was-the no- blest Democrat of them all. Fle was offered the Democratic nomination for President when Cass was nominnted, and refused because his friend Cass was a candidate. History would bave record~ ed a different tale had the delicacy and constancy of William Allen permitted him to take thefeld at that critical time. We should. have had one more illustrious Democratic President. Andrew Jackson would have bad a twin- brother in the affections of his party, and many. subsequent fatal mistakes in the great onrolling tablet of events would have stood corrected. Now that the Democratic purty failed to nominate William Allen for the Presidency, it should take the resent opportunity’ to set things right by plac- ing bis great and illustrious nephew in the place. You muy tell THe TRIBUNE that the Ohio De- mocracy will : STAND AS A UNIT FOR THEIR GREATEST MAN, and the most eloquent and profound exponent ge Demparatie views in the Senate of the United es.” ‘The third gentleman with whom 1 talked was a prominent Democratic lawyer of this city, and a fentieman who hns had an opportunity, from a long residence at the Capital. to form 2 pretty clear understanding of the movement of affairs from the Detnocratic standpoint. He said: “So you want my opinion of the significance of the decision of the National Committee to hold the Conyention in Cincinnati. Well, I pas, the Cincinnati people would say itis cause that is the best place_in the United States to hold such a meeting. That is not the reason that comes into my head, however. I think itis because a majority of the National Committee voted to hold it there. Jt isa very ood central location, and the delegates from Bast, and West, North and South, can easily reach it.” “ What do you think of Thurman's chances for the nomination?” “Tdon't know. I think the location of the Convention at Cincinnati is A MOVE IN HIS FAVOR; and I think, moreover, that he is the only man who will stand the ghost of a show of carrying Ohio. He has never been benten here yet when he hashfid anopen ficld and fair play; but he has overcome great odds and conquered wonder- ful obstacles. He is like his illustrious uncle, William Allen, who always went in on a narrow margin, but still cnough to make things secure and crown his party with victory. This iden of going infor expediency, and nominating some one whom no one wants, because there is thought to be some grens power in it, will in- yaribly killa party in_time. It has come very close to wrecking the Democracy several times; and the question is, When will the party-manag- erslearn wisdom? McCiellan, Horace Greeley, and Tilden ought to tench their respective lessons, and shor our party that what the people want are statesmen and NOY POLITICAL ADVENTURERS.” ‘The next man I met was an official about the State-House, who still holds over from the Dem- ocratic régime. He will be recognized by many people in the State from his peculiar style of putting things: . “You ask me,” he said, “what I think of Thurman’s candidacy. I will tell you. The Democratic party has made so many mistakes of late years that I begin to lose confidence in its ability to do the right thing at the right time. if it should buppen to do the right thing at the Hent time next June, it will nominate Allen G. Thurman for President. Without doubt. he can carry this State, and he can carry the Union. ‘The campaign last fall was an attempt by Ew- ing to succeed in the people’s hearts to the Pluce s0_ long occupied by Thurman. It wasa ‘ailure, and those who have been off with Thur- man will now GO IN FOR HIM WITH ALG THEIR SIGHT. Lhope to gee him nominated, and don’: whom the Republicans bring against him. ‘These are samples of how the Democrats talk. They will, from now on, 1am confident, work in Thurman's interests; and it will not, be among the strangest things of thetuture if the bandana handkerchief proves the ensign of the Democ- racy in the noxt campaign.

Herold’s opera “Le Pre aux Clercs,” which has never been given in this city before, and, we believe, never in this country, was produced last evening for the benefit of M. Capoul to a fair audience. It was unfortunate that the management provided no librettos, in the caso of a work entirely unknown except through two or three of its arias which have been trans- planted to the concert-stage and aro favorits with artists, and it added to the confusion of the audience that it was sunc¢ina language which could give little clew to the progress of the story, except to those who may have accidently discoveréd the plot on the inside of the program. The music, therefore, of necessity is what chiefly interests us. Herold was a prolific writer, and composed many ballets and operes which, though greatly successful in jtheir day, have been shelved, with the exception of “Zampa” and “ Le Pre aux Ceres," the former written in 1831 and the latter in 1632. Both be- long to the opera comique, and did much to elevate its character. The latter is u great favorit in France, not only for its music, which is full of color and fine effects, but also for its itis a strong, bealthy work, drpmatic unity, aud. singularly in contrast. with the small aud trivial works of the opera pouffe which have been performed during tho week. ‘The music of the second act is specially brilliant. more purticularly the aria opening tho act, which is often sung on the concert stage, the grand trio, and thesextet and chorus of the finale. ‘The diatog, however, ‘is tedious, and often detracts from the Interest. ‘The beneficiary, M. Capoul, though evidently fecling the effects of bs recent illness, and sing~ ing with weaker yoice and more elfort thin usual, filled the rdle of Mergy with easy grace and at times with intense spirit, and sang with all his customary refinement, if not with vigor, winning frequent onthusiastic recognition. Angéle a3 Marguerite looked superbly in her ele- gant costumes, and took ber part in an effective manner. Leroux-Bouvard as Isabella had muck of the musical work to do, which, 08 arule, was beyond her ability, though she made a praiseworthy effort. Jouard as the innkeeper, Gtcot, acted and sang his part ve cleverly, but the remaining roles were but indifferently filled. Tne performance as a whole can hardly cailed a success, which ig not the fault. of the work. since in the hands of competent artists it would undoubtedly prove 8 favorit: ‘This even- will be given. ing “La Marjolaine” w BUSINESS NOTICES.
