Mr. Errett did not remain over the convention because he could not obtain a cot whereon to lay his head nor sustenance for the gratification of his stom- ach. Mr. Errett is Don Cameron's right bower in Pennsylvania and a staunch Grant man. He is confident that_ the ex-President will receive the nomination, but as he left Chicago over 24 hours ago has no late information of the situa- top. THE INTEREST FELT AMONG REPUBLICANS at the Capitol in the proceedings at Chicago is constanuy increasing. Senator Conkling’s deal- ing with the members of the New York delega- tion, and his announcement that ae will cast the vote of New York as a unit, causes much comment. The agreement of yesterday between the friends and opponents of Grant, relative to the temporary organization of the convention, is not regarded as an ending of hostilities. It is simply a lullinthe storm, which will proba- bly break out afresh and with increased fury when the instructed delegations from New York, Pennsylvania and fillnois cast their votes. The Blaine men here regard with some suspicion the selection by the Grant men ot Senator Hoar for temporary chairman of the convention. Mr. Hoar is not felendly to Mr. Blaine they say. The assault of-Blaine upon Massachusetts in the last Congress, and the re- ply of Mr. Hoar thereto are fresh in the minds of Senators. OPINIONS ON THE SENATE SIDE. ‘The Chicago convention is the all-absorbiar topic of discussion in the cloak rooms and cor- ridors of the Senate to-day, and even on the floor itself toa great extent. Everybody who is supposed to have any facility for getting news fs eagerly asked for information, and Sen- afors sent pages for Srax reporters to'ask what Was the latest received at the ofice. The dem- ocrats are hoping that Grant will get the nom- ination. Whether it be a correct view ot the case or not, the democratic Senators all regard Grant as the w est candidate the repubileans can noml- nale. They think that opposition to athird- term will operate against Grant, and that his nomination will render the friends of other ean. dinates lukewarm in the canvass; that the at- \mpt to again elect Grant will be resented by other aspirants because they will believe that a third term for Grant will not sauisfy him but he Will want a fourth; that other republica’ bitious to become President will secretly wi to beat Grant at the poils in orderto kill him off politically and get him out of the way. The re- Senators are not expressing opinions publica as to the nomination for publication, but, as a rule, those who are here are not anxious to have Grant nominated. ‘They will not say so because they don’t want to have to eat crow in the event he wins, but the great hue and cry against Grant has, to some extent, Impressed thé republican Senators that he is bot the strongest candidate. Blaine has more out-spoken fricnds among the Senators of lis party who are now in Washington. Man; of the democrats regard Blaine as a weak cand date, and one that could be beaten, ‘Che demo- are more afraid of Sherman as a presi 1 candidate than any other man bamed for the nomination at Chicago, y say Sherman e confidences of bust. and Capitalists in New York au’ other mimerelal centres, and that he uid be org in Ohio. From the democratic stand aint Sherman 1s considered the most formid- ould put in the ts say, Would not shburne they consider a strong man before the people, but they think he has hurt himself with the politicians by his doubttul course in regard to Grant of late, and that the Grant men would secretly knife him should he be the nominee. Gen- Uemen from Texas who are acquainted with the delegation trom that state to Chicago say it cannot be counted upon to vote tor Grant; that ex-Governor Davis, the ablest man in the dele- gation, ts bitterly hostile to Grant, and while he, thay obey instructions on the first ballot, le will not endeavor to nominate Grant. Davis, they say, is a man of integrity and ability, aud he will control the delegation. He has “un old grudge against Grant, and really favors ‘laine. Members of Congress from southern st: .cos erally think that the Grant men wl more of the colored delevates from tat than have been credited to the Grant column. negroes regard Grant next to Lincoln as the man who gave them freedora, and they are not Ukely to go back en the “old man” when the question of his honor and fame is preseated to them. Four or £ve Senators, representing both political parties, were talking together to-day. hey all agreeé that the Grant men have gone too far now to back out that they can't wit draw their cendidate now, as it would be as bad to them as defeat and that a defeat for Grant means political death to Conkliug, Can eron and Logan. run well fn the w Society Notes.

Cook and Fall for the defence. There having been but 11 jurors selected yesterday, attempts were made tos the other from the talesmen, and about 1 o'clock one was ob- talned—Mr. Wm. Wagne Perry opened the case fo the jury, stating that they would show that deceased with seve- ral ot went to Lee’s place (10th and P sts.) and called for drinks; that they went up stairs where there were two or three girls; that the prisoner orderea them down, and as they were coming he fired one shot, striking one man in the art and another taking effect in the head of the deceased, which caused his death in a few hours. THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY met last night at the Smithsonian Institution, Maj. J. W. Powell presiding and E. K. Reynolds secretary. Prof. Samuel Porter, of the National Deaf Mute College, read a very inleresting paper on the question, “Is thought possible without lan- guage?—the case of a deaf-mute.” Prot. Porter valied attention to the assertions of Darwin, Huxley, Miller and even Whately that langu: is that which causes man to differ from the brute, and that chtidren and deaf-mutes, faill of language.can never rise to what may be calli abstract reasoning. Prof. Porter then proceeded to give the history of Mr. Ballaad, a teacher at the Deaf Mute College in this city, taken down. by himself, and giving the process of hisown mental evolution. Mr. Ballard was called up and explained by the natural signs how hecom- municated and received ideas. An instructive discussion followed in which Maj. Powell, Prof. O, T. Mason, J. M. Wilson, Dr. Rock and Col. Garrick Mallery participated.

Cucado, June 2, 1850, ‘The Beginning. ‘The first day of the National Republican Con- vention for 1830 opens with clear and cool wea- ther, and an attendance, it is believed, without 4 parallel in the history of such assemblages. The Crowds at the Hotels were so large that the stairways and elevators were blocked for two hours, rendering egress and Ingress absolutely impossible. Hundred- were unable to get a mouthful at breakfast at the Palmer House. Ladies Were Crushed in the crowds, and taken out in a fainting con- dition. The police were powerless to relleve the pressure, whica continued till nearly 12 o’clock, Many of the delegations that had called meet- ings Were unable to hold them, owing to ina. bhity of delegates to be present, for confusion worse confounded was supreme. The side. walks were blocked and even the streets were filled with delayed street cars and carriages. Both Sides Slept on Their Arms on the field of battle last night, waging the contest with ever increasing bitterness to the last moment. The struggle has been The Field Against Grant, candidates being for the time lost sight of. No step was left untaken to reduce his strength, and the efforts certainly had some effect, Flanking Granw’s Forces. The anti third termers rented the front of a building in front of Grant’s headquarters and ominate Grant and Lose Ohi¢ “Nominate Grant and Lose New York!” “Nomi- nate Grant and Lose the Election!” ‘The city Was also placarded with thousands of posters, to the effect that third term means republican defeat. These demonstrations certainly have had some effect on Grant’s vote, for a revision of his canvasses by his friends this morning bring his first ballot down to 305, 74 less than a majerity. Story’s View. The Chicago Tis this morning predicts the defeat of both Grant and Blaine, and looks for a dark horse, Canieron Still Sanguine. Don Cameron, however, informed your: cor- respondent that there was no doubt of Grant’s triumph; that’ he was never more confident than now, and that the defection in New York and Pennsylvania would be overcome. Sherman Short in Ohio. Nine of the Obfo delegation publish a card this morning denying that they are solid for Sherman, and say that the homes of Hayes and Garfieid both oppose him. Grant Short in Virginia. In the Virginia delegation there is a bad break against Grant, reducing his vote trom 22 to10. The Grand Rush. Owing to the crowds, tickets were not distri- buted till late, and the rush for the convention building looked like a riot. There will be No Balloting To-day and possibly not to-morrow. Blaine’s Friends Confident. The Blaine men put out an estimate to-day claiming to be even with Grant, and to be able ‘to nominate him on the 3d ballot. G. W. A. SECOND DISPATCH. A GRANT COUNCIL.

G, W. A. Associated Press Report. Mr. Cameron’s Remarks. CuIcaco, June 2.—At the request of Mr. Cam. erop, Secretary Keogh read the call for this convention. Mr. Cameron brielly addressed the convention, as follows: “Gentlemen of the Convention:—Before the | jcaded d convention enters upon the important duties that have called it together, I ask your atten- tion for a single moment. During the canvass just ended there has been manifested tn many sections of the country considerable bitterness, which I trust will entirely disappear before e! tering upon the grave duties devolving upon us. Let there be but one motive governing our ac. tons, and let that be a determination to place in nomination the strongest possible candidates —inen strong in themselves, strong in the con- fidence and affections of the people, and men who will command the respect of the civilized world. Our country, of which we are justly peep has grown $0 rapidly in population, wealth and influence during the existence of the republican party that we have attained a position as one of the jeading eg of the worla, We cannot longer be sat- sted without isolation. ecognizing the changed condition, we must place in position men whose familiarity with other nations will enable them to direct our affairs so that we will take the lead in commerce as we have in agriculture and in manufactures. Do not for a moment doubt the strength of cur institutions, They have been tried in blood and came from the contest better, stronger and purer than the most ardent patriot dared to hope for. No combination of circumstances, no coterie of individuals, no personal ambition can ever prevail nee the intelligence and the in- born love of liberty which are implanted tn the hearts of Americans. When the nominations are made and the convention has completed its work, let there be but one sentiment animating all earnest, sincere and unselfish republicans, and let that be that each shall vie with the other in carrying our grand old party through uae ones’ votes! e victory.” i nh concluding speech he announced that he had been instructed by the National Ccnvention to put im nomination for temporary chairmen Hon.

If any Senator would point out a appropriation for New York state that was not ni sary he would vote to strike It out.
