A private letter from a cool-headed obser in Chicago, received at this office to-day, says:— “The Chiacgo republicans are terribly torn up, and It is evident that the Grant men will have trouble in carrying Ilinols for him, even if he isnominated. ‘The bitterness is intense.” The Charleston, S. C. Nevrs says, somewhat hopelessly and regretfully, we think, that “it would bea pleasant sensation for the country to have Bayard and Hamiiton Fish as the op- posing candidates, with the certainty in either case of just and respectable government.” The Springfield Republican's black board yes- terday showed the following figures:—270 for srant to 195 for Blaine, +6 for Sherman, 40 for Edmunds and 18 for Washburne, counting Wes' Virginia for Blaine and dividing six of the Michigan delegation evenly among the three last candidates. The Louisville Courier-Journal, a Tilden paper, says the delegates elected to the Cincin- nati convention so far stand as follows: Til- den, 160; Hancock, 61; Thurman, 44; English, 2. A naturalized Chinaman at Indianapolis votes the republican ticket. It is understood that Mr. Sherman has gained a vote in the New York delegation to Chicago by the substitution of Hon L. P. Morton for Mr, ‘Smith, the declining delegate. Ex-Seeretary Fish 1s quoted as saying last week that Grant isthe strontest man in the republican party,and the only republican wko could, with any certainty, be depended upon t carry New York next November. A dispatch from Portland, where Mr. E. B. Washburne now is, says that gentleman slates positively that his candidacy is out of the question; that he is for Grant first, last and all the time, repudiating all combinations with other candidates, and will not be a candidate under any circumstances. A: that he is guilty of duplicity denie: and says that the re county convention was a greater surprise to him than to any one else, Hon. H. S. Clough, of Middletown, Ohio, who is now in Washington, says that the Ohio dele- gation after it leaves Thurraan will be divided | between Tilden and Jewett. The Louisville Commercial is “telined to think” that Sherman’s chances at Chteago wil! be as good as those of any other candidate, but holds "to the bellef that the nointnation of Washburne would secure victory to the republi cans, The New York Heretd of today arranges the figures on its bi General Mr. Sher- LY ‘ooklyn, yesterday, e-aged shop! explained in court that he had thum head with a cane because he caught that young counter-jumper in the act of eloping with his daughter; a husband complained that his wife dad larruped him with a leather strap in th presence of jeering bystanders, and a drag Clerk brought’ suit against a young woman for seratching his face and infiteting painful bruises on him with her tists behind his own Preserip- tion counter. The shopkeeper was set at lb- erty, sentence was suspended in the case of the muscular wife and the young woman was bound over to keep the peace, STATE DEALER'S FORGERY. — At the grand jury has indicted Louis a well-known stove-dealer and real es- peculator, for forgery. Potter gave to An- ow Walker mortgages to the amount of $3,000, upon a brick residence and several acres ot Jand in this city. The mortgage upon the residence was for $1,500, and a year ago Potter defaulted’ upon the interest. Walker began proceedings to foreclose this mortgage. It was found that the record of the mortgage In the county clerk’s office had been cancelle While investigation Was beimg made relative to the mysterious can- cellation, 2 note in favor of Potter, purporting to be indorsed and signed by Walker and his daughter, its face value being $1,500, came to hand, upon which Mr. Potter had secured the ful] amount from Mrs. Johnson, who cashed it through her attorney. The Walkers assert that the mortgage satisfaction and note are both forgeries, and thelr counsel believes that a forged satisfaction piece of the other mort- gages will turn up. The exposure creates great surprise, as Potter has been looked upon as an exemplary citizen. He has been unfortunate In some recent speculations. eeper CORPOREAL PUNISHMENT ABOLISHED. — The Chicago board of education, by unanimous vote, last bight abolished corporeal punishment in pee Sooo It was generally believed that his had been done years ago, but two recent cases of extreme flogging by teachers disclosed the fact that it had not.

SENATE.—A large number of petitions of manufacturers for the passage of the Exon tariff commission bill were presented, among them one by Mr. Burnside representing capital amounting to $200,000,000 in the manufacture of cotton. Mr. Beck, from the committee on fnanee, re- Ported favorably on House biil amending la¥s relating to internal revenue. Placed on tne calender. Mr. Garland, from the committee on the jidl- ciary, reported favorably on the bill to secure the ‘safekeeping of money paid into court. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Morgan, fromthe select committee on counting the electoral vote, reported adversely on Senate bill to fix the day for the meeting of the electors for President and Vice President, to provide for counting of electoral votes, and for Ube decision of questions arising therefrom. Placed on the calendar. He also reported, from the same committee, a concurrent resolution adopting a pany rule for counting the votes of electors for President and Vice President. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Eaton presented the memorial of Davis Hatch, of Norwalk,Conn., alleging that he was, in iS6s, arrested, tied by mock court martial, and sentenced to death by the government of San Domingo on false charges of aiding insur- rection; that his sentence was commuted to ex- pulsion from the country, but that he was de tained five months in prison by connivance of American officials interested tn the scheme for the annexation of San Domingo to the United States, who feared that his complaints, if he ‘was permitted to leave the country, would tend todcfeat that scheme. The petitioner prays for an investigation of the acts of these oficials, and, if they are found guilty, he prays for repa- ration of his injuries. Mr. Eaton knew nothing of the truth of the charges named. If they were true, however, the petition should not go to the Seuate, but to the House as affecting the honor of another department of the government. He therefore moved its reference to the comuittee on foreign relations for report. his remarks, he offered a reso Unat It is the duty of the government of the United States and its civil and military oflicers to exert all proper aud legitimate means to protect the rights of citizens of the United States tempora- rily being in foreign countries against the arbi- trary acts Of the atithorities t Mr. Platt thought on should be Eralns of aiiowance. He could m with many rot allow its reference with instr! vestigate without this caut U be n pretty well dis Mr. Eaton said he would institute no investi- jon unless there proved to be ground for it. Mr. Conkling said this mat had been brought up betore under similar c'reumstances to the present—namely, in which a sensation and uproar might ,be created to the detriment ol certain prominent persons. He had heard much of late about the theory of ves qdjeTeata. He wished this old matter might be made res adjudicata, and he would join the Senator from Connecticut in asking an investigation into the charges, provided the ac- © And those periodically bringing the mat- ter up should also be investigated, and the whole affair thoroughly exposed, Mr. Conkling believing that those aspersed would be fully vindicated.
