It was learned at the Interior department to-day, as Mr. Filley might have learned in Missouri, that the land officer referred to resigned his position as a member of the state central committee as soon as he received his appointment from er ernment.

WHEN AND WHERE WILL THE NOMINATING CON- VENTION BE HELD—THE COMPETING CITIES, ETC. ‘The national democratic committee will meet at Willard Hall next Monday for the purpose of selecting a time and place for holding the na- tional convention of that party. Not more than half of the members have yet arrived in the city, and some of them have telegraphed that they will not reach here before Monday morn- ing. About one-third—chiefly members from distant states—have appointed proxies, the lat- ter, as a rule, being selected from among mem- bers of Congress. The contest for the conven- tion was inaugurated some months ago, and consequently nearly all the members are pl to vote for one or the other of the cities. The impression is that the place will not be agreed upon before Tuesday unless the committee shall decide to hold a night session Monday evening. THE GATHERING OF DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS HERE. The hotels are pretty well filled with delega- tUons and visitors who are here in the interest of the various cities which are competing for the rivilege of enterta! theconvention. There is agreat deal more excitement over the locating of the democratic convention than was manti- tested about that of the republican party. This is somewhat singular in the face of the fact that the republicans have the ‘inside track, or, at least, seem to have, in the presidential race. Hgwever, the many representative democrats, who are now in the city from different sections of the country, talk as if they expect to win in the coming presidential election. They general- ly look upon Grant as the man destined to be nominated by the republicans, and they believe he is the weakest man that party could present. About the strongest ai ent being used in be- half of sending the convention to Cincinnati is that the candidacy of Gen. Grant will give the democrats a chance to carry Ohio. The demo- cratic politicians all seem to agree in the idea that the German republicans will not vote for Grant. Wiilard’s Hotel is the headquarters of the two largest delegations that have arrived— those from Cincinnati and St. Louis. The Cin- cinrati party have established themselves in arlor No. 8, and the St. Louisians next door, in No. 10, and both keep ‘open house.” The ro- tunda at Willard’s last night was crowded, and whenever a member of the national committee owed himself he was pounced upon by repre- aspiring cities for con- THE ST. LOUIS DELEGATION held a meeting with closed doors last night, and, It was understood, mapped out the work they have inhhand. They talk very confidently of their brospest of securing the convention, and with reason, too. It was believed tlaat Cincinnati led the field in the fight, but the ap- pearances last night all indicated St. Louis to ave the best show. In the first place, there ts warrant for saying that e: the convention held in St. Louis, and this is a powerful aid to that city. There is no question wut that Mr, Tilden “controls the national com- mittee.” as it is usually expressed. That is, a majority of the members are his personal and litical friends, and believing hiin to be the ‘t man for the party to nominate for Presl- dent, they will carry out his wishes in regard to the location of the cenvention, time of hold- ing it, ete, Ex-Senator Barnum, chairman of the committee, Mayor Prince, of Boston, the secretary, and ex-€on; man Hewitt. of New York, are avowed Tilden men, and it is said, have all expressed themselves in favor of St. Louis as the place for the convention. The only objection urged against St. Louis, so gen- Uemen of that delegation say, ig that. it-hoa¢) Jast convention, but they ply to this by say- ing that their “nomtriee was elected but counted out,” and thtrefore they ought to have an op- portunity to try tt over again. ‘This view is ac- recited to Mr. Tilden too, and is assigned as the reason he favors St. Louis. He wants to conte the democratic arrangements of 1876 right along up to the resu't. He wants the convention held in the same place and the same ticket re-nominated. The tenor of conversation among the Tilden democrats bears out the report that the ex-Governor feels this way. In 1876 the entire local influence of St. Louis was in favor of Tilden, and it was made to count, too, upon the convention. A prominent democrat informed a Stax reporter this bern that Montgomery Blair had told him, “Gov. Tilden was for St. Louis,” and it is generally believed that Judge Blair Knows as much about Tilden’s plans as any man. The St. Louis delegation have authority from the wealthy democrats of that city to “pledge everything necessary to secure the convention,” and they intend to spare neither labor nor ex- ene in their efforts to off the prize. Vere it not, however, for the fact that it 1s be- eved Tilden is using all his influence in behalf of that city, its Prospects. of success would not appear near as bright as they do. All the dele- gations are quite active to-day, the St. Louis men particularly. THE CINCINNATI DELEGATON feel quite hopeful. They urge the claims of that city. on the ground that Oiio ts debatable ground; that Missouri is avowedly democratic, and the convention will do no good to go there, while Illinois is avowedly repubiican, and hence ought not to have the convention. The Cincinnati people say they have the best hall ingthe coun- uy, and that the citizens will defray the ex- penses of the convention, notwithstanding the charge which has been made to the contrary. CHICAGO. It is said that there are six votes pledged to Chicago, but that if the fight narrows down be- tween St. Louis and Cincinnati, that five of Chicago's votes will go for St. Louis, TRE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE are dropping in in a straggling way. Chairman Barnum, of Connecticut, and Secretary Prince, of Massachusetts, are both expected on this af- ternoon’s limited express. To-day McHenry, of Kentucky, arrived, and the St. Louis men claim his vote. Mr. Lochren, of Minnesota, also ar- rived, and the contesting delegations have been working hard with him all day. He isas yet non-comuittal. THE OUTLOOK TO-DAY seems to be that the fight is between St. Louis and Cincinnati with the chances adraw. Both of the delegations from these cities respectively have established headquarters in the parlors at Willard’s Hotel, and to-night it is alleged “wet goods” will be opened. John G. Thompson says Uhat it Is a sate bet to. make to bank on Cincin- nati being the place of meeting, Col. Morrison, of Illinois, this morning said he thought that Cincinnati had a splendid chance, but he could diagnose the situation better after Chairman Barnum arrived and he found out what city he was for. It is claimed though that Barnum is for St and for this reason it is alleged that Tiiden favors St, Louis, ‘TRE FULL List OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

Lentis truly the season for “compounding for sins you are inclined to by damning those you have no mind to.” No harm to receive in Lent if you don’t have refreshments; no harm to give a party without dancing. The fine weather yesterday inclined many to forveo the afternoon services at the churches, and to drop in to make a friendly call upon those who received on during the son. Many were found “at home.” Mrs. Ricketts held a large reception, assisted by her niece Miss , Who just arrived roe dee her aa a visit a re Aone ong peTeeable young ladies Who as sisted were Miss Bainbridge. : Larned, Miss, Lansdale and Miss.

There is no doubt that the public will enjoy a delightful evening aud at the same time be gratified by the consclous- ness of relieving the Seating, Irish, Gen. Sherman chaperoned a large party of ladies at the theater last evening. Among the patty ‘were some distinguished residents of St. Louls.—Miss Britton, an attractive young lady from Natchez, who has passed the gay sea- son with friends at the Riggs House, is the daughter of the wealthiest banker In the south. —— Col. Cabell and his daughter, who is one of the belles of Richmond, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wirt on G street.—Mrs. Minor and her graceful and accomplished daughter leave Washington to-morrow evening for their home in the sunny south. They are residents of Natchez and belong to the ‘old me.” Natchez has always been celebrated for 1! finement and culture of itsladies. The pictures which have been drawn of the ideal luxurious life in the south were all realities in the time of Dr. Stephen Duncan, his brother Judge Dun- can, the Dunlops, and many others, whose an- nual Income from the sale of cotton shipped to England and other ports, amounted to one hun- dred thousand ayear. The homes of these bobs were luxurious, and they dispensed a hi pitality that was proverbial.—Miss Ballinger, of Texas, who has passed the winter at Riggs House with her cousin Mrs. Stocking, has accepted an Invitation from Mrs. Hayes to make her a visit, prior to her departure for home. Apropos ot Parnell’s visit here with his moth- er, the following ts of interest. Mrs. Parneli Is. as is well known, a daughter of the late Com- modore Stewart, who was famillarly known as “Old Ironsides.” While in Philadelphia she called with her son on Pay Director and Mrs. Cupningham, and was presented by Mr. Cun- ningham with the parchment commission issued to Commodore Stewart, which was signed by Andrew Jackson, then President, and Mr. Branch, of North Carolina, Secretary of the Navy. Mrs. Parnell 1s a first cousin of the late Coumnedare Charles Stewart McCauley, of this city. The hop and promenade concert at Willard’s last night was largely attended, and by many notable in official and social lie. The elite of the city have entered upon the work of making the Light Infantry fair next Week @ brilliant success. As a social event, it will be of the same character as the late New York Seventh Regiment fair. The “Star”? Mail Service. A DEFICIENCY BILL IN COURSE OF PREPARATION TO CONTINUE THE SERVICE AS AT PRESENT. ‘The House committee on post offices and post roads are engaged to-day in preparing a report to accompany a bill which they propose to offer in the House on Monday, and under susnensign of the rules endeavor to secure a two-thirds vote for itspassage. The report will set forth that on the 6th of December last the attention cf Congress was directed by the Postmaster General tothe fact that a deficiency appropria- tion of $2,000,000 would be required to continue the present expedited sch routes to the end of the fiscal year, and that the service would be aiscontinued, or cut down toa weekly service upon all the routes, if the re- juired appropriation was refused by Congress; thet two months and a half have elapsed and no definite action has been taken, that the depart- ment has issued a general order cuttti lown the service upon all the routes to a weekly ser- vice, which, under the law, requires one month’s notice to the conttactors, and involves the pay- ment to them by the government of one month’s pay, which will te $600,000, an investinent for which the government vir- tually and actually receives no corres) service. In view of the above facts and the se- rious inconvenience resulting to the public, the report will urge the passage of a bill continu- ing the appropriation for the star routes upon their present basis of service. The bill, which is being prepared upon a careful estimate,omits any consideration of the three or four routes which have been the especial subjects of inves- ation by the special committee of the appro priations committee, leaving them to be affect- ed by the ultimate recommendation of the ap- (prope ions committee.. The bill which the ‘ost Office committee will endeavor through its chairraan (Mr. Money) to Introduce on Monday, will provide for a deficiency appropriation of about $1,500,000, The Texas and Pacific Railroad. EAGER COMPETITION FOR THE BONDS ISSUED TO THE CONSTRUCTION SYNDICATE—REMARKABLE FI- NANCIBRING. A few weeks ago the formal execution of a contract was announced between the Texas and Pacific Railroad Company and a syndicate of capitalists, in which the latter, in consideration of $20,000 bonds and $20,000 stock per mile, agreed to complete, within three years, the 600 mnlles of that road between its present terminus and El Paso, New Mexico. The associated road- builders include Jay Gould, Sidney Dillon anda large Boston interest, besides several gentlemen. prominent in the present directory of the com- pany. Almost as soon as the contract had been executed the members of the syndicate deter- mined to advertise for proposals for the pur- chase of $5,000,000 of the bonds. The time for receiving bids was limited to thirty days, andat the end of that time bids for over $10,000,000 were opened, the average of the bids reaching 90 per cert. Ithappened, however, that aclause of the contract required that at Iéast $2,000,000 of the bonds should be offered to the stockhold- ers of record, and proposals for their bids issued thirty. days ago were opened yesterday in this city. The bids aggregated $5,641,000, or nearly three times the amount that could be sold, and again 90 per cent, was the aver rate offered.

Grant. ule of the star ; Hitch About the “Star” Mail Service. ‘The order of the Postmaster General restrict- ing the “star” mail service to one delivery per week forces the question of providing additional appropriations for this branch of the service upon the immediate attention of Congress. Early in the present gession the Post Office de- partment notified Congress that an additional appropriation of $2,000,000 would be required to maintain the star routes during the current fis- cal year. The House committee on «ppropria- tons took a decided stand Gime grant this Money on the ground that the 01 ap- propriation was sufficient to have carried on this branch of the service ina proper man- ner. The (eee in org art objec- tion, called attention to the fact it this Con- gress had bills establishing some 2,000 new star routes, and that more half of these had been put in operation, thus creat Ah expenditure not ancctoated in the origi appropriation. This did hot weve the aporo- priations committee, the members theteof n- sisting that the department had no right to create a deficiency. The committe on post offices sustained the department, and that the additional sum asked for be allowed without Gelay, in order that no interruption in the mail service might take place. Mean time the appropriations committee ‘itted the matter to remain in abeyance. Now comes the order of the. Postmaster General, and {t has caused some consternation among the law- makers. The democrats are in the majority, and are therefore responsible to the country for all legislation, This fact was used as an argu ment why the $2,000,000 asked by the depart- ment should not be granted. ‘The democratic paity will be held responsible by the people for the waste of public money,” said those members who opposed granting the additional appropria- tion, But the Postmaster General’s summary chopping down of the star service puts another responsibility upon the majority in Con- gress: and one they dislike very Much to bear. The democratic members of the post office committee insist that the party will be held responsible, by ihe” people, for a failure to get’ their mails, and that this will havea far more dam- aging eifect than can possibly grow out of any tbeory of waste in connection with the pro- posed $2.00,000 appropriation. To avoid this da peel and to keep the star routes tn operations, Chairman Money, of the post office committee, intends, if he can secure recognition next Mon- dey, to offer a bill making the appropriation and move to pass it under a suspension of the rules. It will require a two-thirds vote to put the bill Ubrough in this manner, but those who favor it believe this can be obtain rhe star service is the only facility that many thousands of citizens have of communicating with their fellow men. It ‘s the dependence of all that vast territory in this country lying away from railroads and navigable waters, and nothing so enrages the average American citizen as to be deprived of his mails. Said a leading demc- cratic member of the post office committee to- day, ‘The people whose mails are cut oif by this order will charge the fault to Congress. and that is the way we must view the question. I don’t know whether the propriation for the star service properly expended or not; been misapplied for aught I know, but We must not sit here and permit the mails to stop becau: { that. We should supply money to keep the service up to js standard, and then endeavor to ascertain whether the regular ap- propriation was misapplied or not. we as- certain that it was, then let the officials who are responsible be made to suffer for it; but we must rot make the ple suffer for the mis- conduct or bad management of department offi- Clals, oven admitting there was such, which Ido rot say, by any means.”: If Mr. Money succeeds in getting his bill before the House it will, no doubt, be antagonized, and there will bea lively discussion. The Inter-Oceanic Canal and the Monroe Doctrine. ATTITUDE OF THE ADMINISTRATION. Ever since the congress of De Lesseps at Paris, which resulted in the selection of Pana- ma as the route for inter-oceanic canal commu- nication, the position of President Hayes in re- gard tothe matter has been wellknown. He has favored noe account of the reports of our engineers who made the surveys on the Isth- mus,) the Nicaraguan route. It has also been well known that the President believes in the Monroe doctrine as to American supremacy on this continent. The President, it is believed, has §the united support of his Cabinet in his pe jon on the questions involved, with possi- ly the exception of one member, who is not in hearty accord therewith. Since De Lesseps went to Panama and commenced active preliminary work for his cgnal, this subject has been consid- ered by the President and his advisers. The in- formation and CORRESPONDENCE CALLED FOR BY CONGRESS is being prepared as rapidly as possible, but as sh all that Congress wants, necessitates, in one or two cases, communication with our representatives in Central America there may be some delay. Most of the information wanted is, however, now in the files of the Navy and State departments, and 1s being put in shape. It ts stated that the President in communicating this information to Congress, will accompany it with a special message taking most decided views under the Monroe doctrine. Although the President’s views are decided enough to sult even Mr. King’s select committee on canals, it is somewhat doubtful if he will send a message announcing them to Con} At any rate, it has not been decided to doso. In considering the whole question a material obstacle to the United States grabbing De ae by the throat and Saying that a canal shall built only by way of the Nicaraguan route, is found in . THE CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY between the United States and Great Britain, ratified July 4th, 1850. This treaty, it is true, referred es lally to the Nicaraguan route, puaran tering: its neutrality and the protection, yy the United States and Great Britain, of any parties who might construct it. The eighth article of the treaty, however, has a wider significance. It 1s as follows: ‘The govern- ments of the United States and Great Britain having not only desired in entering into this convention to accomplish a particular object (the construction and neutrality of a canal by way of Nicaragua), but also to establish a eneral principle, they hereby agree to extend ‘heir protection, by tweaty stipulations, to any other practicable communications, whether by Canal or railway, across the us which con- nects North and South America, and espect to the inter-oceanic communications, should the same prove to be practicable, whether by canal or railway, which are now proposed to be estab- lished by the way of Tehuantepec or Panama, Ia granting, however, their joint protection to any such canals or railways as are by this article specified, it is always understood by the United States and Great Britain that the parties constructing or owning the same shall im} no other charges or conditions of traffic thereupon than the aforesaid sor eumeats shall approve of as just and equitable, and that the sare nals or railways ae ore to the citizens and subjects of the United States and Great Britain on equal terms, shall also be open on like terms to the citizens and subjects of every otker state which fs willing to grant thereto such protection as the United States and Great Britain eueake to afford.” Under this article of the treaty, the Panama route not having been shown to be impractica- ble, it is considered very doubtful by the Presi- dent, itis understood, if vernment has any right to interfere, espec! it Lesseps intends to recognize in full the provisions of this treaty asit 18 sald he does. For this reason itis very doubtful if the administration will assume any decided position until Congress acts and the intentions of De Lesseps are effec- tually known. ig THE CRUISE OF THE KEARSARGE AND ADAMS.

The Mysteries and Miseries of the Winter Palace—The Dynamite Explosion —The Imperial Family Fleeing in the Dark. New York, Feb. 21.—A London spcctat gives the following from the Standard’s Berlin cor- respondence: “Lately the Czar hardly ever left the winter palace. When he went abroad he Was surrounded by a cloud of mounted officers who concealed the carviage and protected the inmate with their bodies. In the palace he was accessible only to Oe are dignitaries and officers of the household. At chapel detectives occupied seats that were formerly reserved for distinguished visitors. Detectives infested the kitchen. Every dish was tasted by persons of rank specially selected for the purpose. The emperor did not even venture to open his let ters, documents _ stee in poison hav ing repeatedly been sent to him. with all these elaborate precatftions it occurred to nobody to search for the announced, advertised and placarded mine in the basement. ‘The Emperor and the Duchess of Edinburg “were seated in an apartment next to the dining room when they heard the report of the explo- sion. The lights were extinguished and the gaspipe burst. The Princess, the officers and the valets went blindly through the dark, and then poured promiscuously through the door of the royal apartments. Thesovereign was found groping his way out of the fatal quarter. All Who saw the sight—the picture of Alexander II leading his daughter away from the mine of dyn- amite—say It was one that could never be for- gotten. The Black Letter. ® The Vienna 7aghla/t relates that for some days past the Czar has daily received a sealed letter, containing a few words of menace and saying that if he did not change his system of oppression would not live to celebrate ube 25th anniversary of his accession. The sheet was always bordered with black. In the court circles it was known as the black letter. All efforts to discover the person who conveyed it to the emperor's room were unsuccessful. The Czar and the Duchess of Edin- burgh not Frightened. Lonpon, Feb. 21.—The Duke of Edinburgh h: received the following telegram from the Duch- ess of gig ow at St. Petersburg: “The explosion in the Winter Palace was caused by dynamite. Nine soldiers were killed. Anextra guar is on duty in the Palace. The Empress as been made acquainted with the circum- stances of the explosion. She has not suffered in health. The Emperor and myself are quite well and are not frightened.” The Czar’s Reply to President Grevy. Ys The following is the Czar’s reply to President Grevy’s congratulations upon his escape. “I cordially thank you for the sentiments you ex- press. The spirit of evil is unwearied like that of divine grace. I am glad to reckonon the sympathies of right thinking men.” The Man who Exploded the Mine Under the Railway at Moscow. Loxpon, Feb. 21.—The Russian who was ar- rested on the l7th instant, in the Champs q’Elysees, Paris, cone? with being connected With the Moscow explosion, is named Karl alias Maver, alias Hartman, and is believed to be the $am6 mah who rentcd and occupied the house in Moscow, whence the explosion of the mine under the railway was operated. If this fact is established to the satiafaction of the French government he will be surrendered asa com- mon murderer, although there is no extradition treaty between France and Russia. The state- Ment published this noe that some re- actionary deputies have applied for the man’s relerse, but were told that if it appeared that the man was connected with the Moscow at- tempt he would be surrendered to the Russia authorities, 1s erroneous. The fact seems to be that three leaders of the republican groups (not reactionaries) asked Premier de Freycinet whether the man fs charged with a political or common law offence, and the Premier referred them to M. Cayzot, minister of justice. A dis- patch from Paris to the Standard says: M. “azot claimed for the government perfect free- dom to whatever course it might think advi: able, assuming the entire responsibility. Taillandier, republican member of chamber of deputies, expressed dissatistaction with this reply, but said he would refer it to his colleagues at the next meeting of the extreme left. The irreconcilable organs are in- dignant at the arrest. The Mot Wordre, Rap- pel, Lanterne and Justice regard the alleged offence as absolutely political The Dynamite in a Metal Box.

This decision was afterwards reversed by the higher court at Brussels, whereupon suit was brought in England with the above result. Death Sentence. BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 21.—Chas.

NEw Youk, Feb. 21.—The smoking ruins of thé y attracted crowds of look- Near the alley, on some: Umbers, leaning against a part of wall of No.38s Broadway, was discovered. at S o'clock, the body of Fireman Dougherty, lying flat on’ its back, when It was soon dragged from the ruins, ‘The face was unrecognizaife, and the head and arms Were charred.- ‘The trunk was compara- tively unharmed, but the feet were burned off and the legs were lumps of hardened coal. The body was brought to No. 30 Greenwich Street, Dougherty’s late home. A Missing Fireman. A careful scrutiny of the ruins revealed no trace of Cassidy, his missing comrade, but. it 1s theught that his body will certainly be found under the timbers.

Wilde, jr., & Co., will exceed $100,000, Their insurance is not to full amount, and fs distributed in $5,000 policies. An offer of $265,000 was recently re- fused for the building. It’ ts fully insured, and will be immediately rebuilt. The origin of the tire remains yet a complete mystery. THE Loxp WALKING MATCH. Blower Brow Making the Best ‘Time on Record. Loxpon, Feb.
