THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS dis- Satisfied with Secretary Gorham, of the re- publican campaign committee. The cause o dissatisfaction grows out of his recent speech in which he takes such a decided stand for reenbacks, endorses Thurman’s views, and lavors the retirement of national bank notes. ON ACCOUNT OF THE YELLOW FEVER, the running of trains between Biloxi and Mobile has been discontinued, and railroad connec- tion between New Orleans and Mobile is con- sequently broken. AN On10 DEMOCRAT’s GUESS.—A letter re- ceived here to-day dated Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 16th, written by a democratic officer of the general assembly says: ‘I guess we will elect twelve out of the twenty Congressmen. There is a possibility, strange as it may seem, of the nationals carrying our strongest demo- cratic districts.

How's that? “Dick,” NOT AtxsworTH.— That well- Posted paper, the Boston Herald, makes the singular mistake of confounding &. H. Spof- ford, chairman of the Massachusetts Butler democratic convention, with Mr, A. R. Spof ford, librarian of the Concressional library Quite a diflerence, Mr. Herald. "They may biy be related, but they are not the same OF ALL THESTRICKEN Citresin Mississippi, Greenville is today the worst.

SECRETARY SCHUKZ, on being interviewed to-day as to the rumors of his hoping to be. elected to the Senate from Missouri, and as to his baving been closeted with Missouri _poli- ticians to discuss the situation, and as to the removal of Filley being a part of the move- ment, denied the story as absurd. He said to aspire to the Senate from Missouri, with sixty or seventy thousand democratic and green- back majority to overcome, would be just as absurd as to make preparations to fly to th uioon. He was not so foolish as to entertai aby such expectations. The ‘ Missouri poli- ticlans and wire-pullers’’ referred to by the New York Trivune as having been closeted with the Secretary, consisted simply of ex-Sen- ator Henderson, who had business in the city, and gave the Secretary the pleasure of a short morning call, as he always does when here. Were there any chances of republican success in the Senatorial election, the Senator thought Mr. Henderson himself would be thought of as a prominent candidate, as he had a perfect right to be. The Senatorial election was not even alluded to in the remotest way during the conversation had between the Secretary Mr. Heuderson. If the New York Trine, in giving currency to so absurd a story, classed ex-Senator Henderson as a Missouri wire- puller, it was a mere matter of taste. s ELIZA PINKSTON IN TOWN?—“ Look here,” said a well known citizen of Washington who was seized with valuable information, “ why don’t some of you newspayer men print the fact that Elza Pinkston is in the city.’ THe STAR man replied that in these dull piping times of peace, news was a desideratum. * Where is she,” added the reporter. I don’t know where she is,” was the rep “but I do know a lady who has seen her, aud know that she has been here ten days. If you ean find Hon. Ward H. Lamon he can tell you where to find her. She was brought here ten day ago to keep her from being spirited away by the republicans in. Louisiana, and is to ap. Se before Potter's committee when it next meets.” After a long hunt Col. Ward H. Lamon’s habitation was found, but that gentleman was out—had gone up to West Virginia to make campaign speeches. Meanwhile if Eliza will address a note to THE STaR informing us of her yrereatouss: she will relieve the reporter's mind, NATIONAL BANK8.—The controller of the currency states that the aggregate capital of all the 2,400 national banks organized since the establishment of the national bank system sixteen yea! (9 which have become insol- S$ $81 23060. The aggregate dividends paid to the creditors of these banks for the ten hs from November 1, 1877, to September 78, is $2,614,125. The aggregate dividends ce the organization of the system is $1; and the total amount of creditors’ claims proved $22,720,302. The total losses to creditors of all the national banks during the last sixteen years upon five hundred million of capital and eight hundred million of deposi's is estimated not to exceed six and one-half million of dollars, an amount probabiy not equal to the losses which have fallen upon the creditors of savings banks and state banks during the past year. THE CINCINNATI-CHICAGO Wuisky Drs- PuTE.—The following letter from Commission- er Raum, toa number of Chicago distillers, explains the pena yerey hich has been go- ing on for sometime between Chicago and Cincinnati regarding the marke: quotations of whisky in the latter city, which were so far under those quoted at Chicago as to create suspicions of fraud: “Referring to the cor- respondence in regard to the spirits trade of Cireinnati, I will state for your information that I am in receipt of a report from Collector Smith, of Cincinnati, and Revenue Agent Mitchell, on duty at that city, giving the de. tails of the transactions in high wines between the distillers and rectifiers of Cincinnati for the months of June, July and August of this year, from which it mone that with the ex- ception of one distillery the sales or transfers were made upon the basis of the commercial gauge. Said report isin Fespect to 16,499 ack. ages, which cont ined 834,110 taxable lions, and were sold upon the commercial gauge as containing 855,795.90-100 ons, which shows an excess of gallons sold over those upon which the taxes wore oa of 21,645.90-100 ; bills having been rendered during the month of June of $1.03, #1.04, $1.05; during the month of July at $1.05, $1.04, $1.03, and curing the month of August at $1.03, $1.04, $1.05 and $1.06. It is obvious from the report that the rectifier makes a concession tothe distiller in regard to the quantity, while the distiller makes a concession to the rectifier in respect to the price, so that in point of fact the quotations during the period mentioned were not based upon sales of spirits delivered upon the gov- ernment gauge.” PROPOSED PosTAL CONGRESS.—AS a result of the western tour of Mr. A. H. Bissell, of the law office of the Post Office department, to a:- certain the practicability of the proposed new bill for the classification of mai! matter, and to consult with leading publishers concerning certain features of the bill, a circular has been issued signed by leadin; iblishers, newspa- er men, boards o! le and others. t sets forth the Importation of sim- le uniform and just le; ition in referencs the service, and calls for the holding of a conference in the city of New York on Wednesday, October 9th, through which the betes Shall take some steps to aid the P.O. lepartment in securing the passage of the bill now having a favorable position on the calendar of both houses, or one similar in its scope a Purpose.

BUTLER'S FRIENDS GO TOO FAR?— | WHAT IS SAID IN WASHINGTON. | The nomination of Gen. Butler by a portion | of the democrats of Massachusetts in conve 1- | tion at Worcester, yesterday, causes but little comment in this city, for the reason that it was expected several days ago that Butler would receive a nomination, which would by followed by a split. Sagacious politicians think, however, that Butler's managers went alittle too tar. Their taking possession of the hall before daylight, and several hoursin a vance of the time of the meeting of the con- yention, in sucha manner as to lead to their being characterized as a mob by the mayor of the city wherein the convention was held, is hardly thought to be an auspicious inaugura. tion of the reforms Gen. Butler promises to bring about. His friends here, too,-think mistake was made in not allowing the chair man of the state central committee to call the convention to order. They say that Batler had two-thirds of the delegates in attendance, and that the better plan would have been to have allowed the “biue bloods” to have ventilated their spleen against his candidacy, and out- voted them when it became necessary to do so; then, had the spiit followed, Butler would have had the best position, because he could claim that such a proceeding was indulged in, because the “silk stockiags” would not support any candidate save of their own making. The fact that the regular dele- yates could not obtain possession of tne hall Becanse it was pre-empted as it were by Squat- ter Sovereignty, will give those who bolted the besi claim in the world to urge upon the peo le, that a bolt become necessary because [ree speech, for which Butler claims to be so jeal- ous a ‘champion, was stifled. Many of his friends think that he will now certainly be beaten; that three tickets will be placed inthe ud that the regularrepublican nominee ave no troub ure an election, in- much as Butler’s nomination has broken into fiagments the old solid democratic party lines. Secretary Sherman's Brother-ia- Law. HIS FINANCIAL THEORY. -C. W. Moulton, of Cineinaati, a brother- -law of Secretary Sherman, 1s in the city. Last evening, in conversation with a repre- sentative of Tire Star, he advanced the theory that the western men who so tenaciously oy- pose the resumption of specte payments wi’, after all, be the greatest beneficiaries of the get after it goes into operation. “ Now,” says Mr. Moulton, “the moment resumption is ac complished, and the premium on gold is wip: d out, the system of paying actual gold to cus- tom house officers will cease. An importer will give his check for such payment, and iv being certified by the baak in which he is a depositor, will “be received for the pay- ment of dues. These in turn will be used by the Assistant Treasurers in making pay- ments to the banks having business with the Assistant Treasurers. The result at once is an expansion, for while these checks will be cur- rent in all business obligations in commercial communities as well as accepted by the United States, the gold will lay in the vaults of the sub treasuries, and, not being needed in the east, will in time find its way to the west when it becomes necessary to move the crops.” SECRETARY SHERMAN TIRED OF PUBLIC LIFB. Mr. Moulton thinks that Secretary Sherman is Browne tired of public life. For nearly a quarter of a century he has held yee po- sitions, during which time he has been con- stantly under a heavy strain. The Secretary, he says, is extremely anxious that his plan of resumption shall succeed, and he believes it will succeed, and were it not for the pride he takes in making it a success, he would throw aside the burdens of public life at once, and spend the remainder of his days in such pur- suits as would aflord him more leisure, briag upon less abuse, and give him the opportunity to better enjoy life. PERSONAL.—Judge T. W. Bartley, formerly of Ohio,a brother-in-law of Secretary Sher- mab, was married quietly to-day to Mrs. Mc- Coy, widow of the late Col. McCoy, of 4sen. Sherman’s staff. This is the third matrimo- nial venture of the judge. Mr. C. M. Mar- tin, of New York city, is h to complete a contract with the Navy department for pla- | cing his patent fire extinguisher on all the ves- sels in the navy. THE INTERNATIONAL PosTAL CARD CESS TovuRNEY.—Mr. Edward Himes, a contestant in the international postal-card chess tourney - and president of the New Orleans chess ciub, died on the 6th inst.of yellow fever. Edwin Palmer, of Collumpton, England, was his op- ponent in the tourney. This is the second death among the international players. Cuter JUSTICE WaITE will be in Toledo, Ohio, on Thursday. President Hayes is to reach that city the same mong both going from Dayton, where they attend the session of the trustees of the soldiers’ home. THE NEW SENATOR FROM OREGON.—Tie Oregon legislature yesterday elected J. H. Slater for U.S. Senator. Mr. Slater, in an terview, says he is not in sympathy with in- flation, advocates the substitut‘oa of legi'- tender for national bank notes, opposes fiat money. aud demands that currency shall be on a coin basis. NAVAL ORDERS.—Passed Assistant Engine r J. P. Meckley is detached from the Montauk on the 19th instant and ordered to temporary duty at Philadelphia as assistant to the inspee- tor of coal; Assistant Engineer A. V. Zane from the Wyoming and ordered to duty at the navy academy. THE U. 8.8.

It is to pré- side over this meeting. In taking my place as president I do not propose to waste time in Speech-making.

Butler secured the nomination at Worcester yesterday by having his men early on the ground. His delegates took possession of M- chanics’ Hall, where the convention was called to meet, before certian bought = all other halls in the city,and opened and organized “the Massachusetts democratic state conven- tion” themselves, This coup d'etat being real- ized by the state central commitiee, the mayor was called upon to interfere. He did so, but failing to accomplish anything, reported to she committee that the hall had been taken pos- session of by “disorderly persons,” and that in his opinion they could not be dislodged ex- cept with violence and perhaps bloodshed. The state central committee thereupon voted to adjourn the convention till Wednesday of next week, at Faneuil Hall, Boston. An intor- mal announcement of this adjournment was inade to an assemblage of delegates and oth ers at the Bay State House, and it was received with great applause. Meantime the conven tien at Mechanics’ Hall, claiming to have ‘73 accredited delegates. nominated Gen. Butler for governor, and for lieutenant governor John F. Arnold, of North Adams; seer of state, Charles M. Strauss, of Hingham ; at- torney general, Caleb Cushing, of Newbar: Port ; auditor, J. B. O'Rielly, of Boston; trea- surer, D. N. Spillings, of Worcester. THE PLATFORM adopted by the Butler convention condemas extravagance in state expenditures, the un- necessary increase of officers, the waste of the public domain, which should not have been given away in larg= proportions as endow- ment, either to individuals or corporations, and sets*forth “that with exceeding shame and sorrow we have seen a President elected by the votes of a majority of the people, at an election held in accordance with the prov sions of the constitution, set aside, and the people deprived of his services in ‘that high office by a series of the most astounding for- geries and_perjuries, the possibility of a sue- cessful exjstence of which weakens the very foundatiof of the republic. Our grief is not lessened because this monstrous wrong was e by the aid of an unconstitutional com- ion, Which found it necessary, by a party majority, to refuse to receive the evideuce of the patent frauds in the electoral votes in order to consummate the act. We therefore unhesitatingly deciare that no man oughtto | be permitied to hold office who is tainted with fraud aud corruption, and if can be done without rebuke by the people, then, indeed, we fear for the perpetuity of republican institutions; that the longer ceniinuance of one party in power in the nation, and especially in the | commonwealth, tending to corruption, afford- ing opportunity and temptation ion maladmin- istration and peculation, aud the multiplica- tion of salaried officers, many of them un- Known to the constitutiou, thus removing the responsibility for misgovernment from the of- ficers elected directly by the votes of the peo- ple—giving, in fact, the administration of the commonwealth into the hands of the officers unconsiitutionally appointed by the executive So ds to interpose a commission between itand the people for the just accountability of the executive officers for extravagance and waste- ful expenditure of money—make it of para. mount i state and municipal affairs shall be thorougii- ly and efficiently reformed. We, therefore, reproduce the platform for the state govern: ment as set forth by the democratic party in its convention in 1575, a more extended refer- ence to which is found in the address of our candidate for governor to the citizens who asked him to be a candidate, and in which he pledged himself to undertake to reform all such abuses; that we deprecate the tendency of dee aaton frowing year by year to place impediments in the way of the free exercise of the rights of suffrage by poor aud laboring men: the d«iaocracy hold the ballot as an in- born and ii:..Jienable right of tree citizens ; all legislation, therefore, should tend to givethem. the full enjoyment of this right; that we call upon all citizens, of whatever political views, to unite with the democracy in the elec .on of legislative and executive ofticers who will faithfully carry out those great measures of so much needed reform, but by so doing we do not hold them pledged to any further co- operation with the democratic _ party. bound to iv save as they recognize in things the just p.es.” The Pestilence. show (2 rleaus, of ins.
