DEATH OF DR. HALL.—A large Circle of friends and acquaintances, not in Washington alone, but extending Into every state and territory of the Union, will hear with pain and sorrow of the death of Dr. J. C. Hall, which occurred in this city this morning. The deceased had re- sided in Washington for more than sixty years, and had, by his high professional attalament, bis broad culture, kind heart and genial man- ners, greatly endeared himself to all who came into any sort of relations with him. Few men Were miore generally or favorably Known at the national capital than Dr. Hall, and the death of but few persons would leave a wider or deeper gap.

STILL BELIEVES GRANT WILL W IN.—Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, was in his seat to-day. He says he came back from the, Chicago eon- vention because he was nota elegate, had no yote, and could not do any god. He still be- lieves Grant will win. APPROVED.—The Presiijent to-day approved the bill appropriating $100,000 for an emble- matic and commemorative monument, over the site of Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown, ‘a. SECOND LIRUTENaNT L.

THE Visir of ex-Senator Simon Cameron, Mr. Holloway, of Indians, and Mr. Matt Car- penter to this city yesterday and Mr. Cameron's visit to Secretary Sherman and Messrs. Hollo- way and Carpenter's call upea the President has created some comment.

As the vessel otherwise his been pronounced satisfactory, there i3 no doubt of her acceptance for the Howgate expe iitioa by Secretary Thompson. MnkS.

The following are the letters of Representa- tive Morrison on the democratic presidential situation, published by the Chicago Times a few days ago. They have attracted a good deal of attention and provonra considerable com- ment, and also, per! some bad feeling: Vasbington May 25 1830 You have no doubt heard ‘some mention of my name in connection with the presidential nomination. Many well informed democrats of New York believe all the prominent men of that state Tilden and Seymour included, to be so mixed up with local quarrels and the disputes of factions that the candidate must be taken from some other state to secure harmony. Sen- ator Bayard’s anti war record of 186! lately pub- Ushed in the New York Sun ts hurtful to Bim, Gov Henaricks and Judge Thurman are shut out by the financial question if the candidate 1s to be acceptable to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. So the talk came about me 8 about the only man in sight with any public record which would stand the test. It was aiso suggested that some campaign notse could be made of the fact that I was a private sol- dier in the Mexican war and had Gen Grant’s endorsement as “‘one of our best officers” in the late war—that of all old fashioned democrats I was least vulnerable on questions resulting from the war which will enter largely into the canvass, The mention of my name has been so favorably received that I am pleased with it, though I am not crazy on the subject, nor have I built any great expectations upon it. Still I am hot without reasons for believing that with the cordial and earnest support of our state something may come of it. If not nobody's hurt and the delegation will be left in a position to make itself most effective in sere the ticket. The friends of Gov. Palmer and Judge Davis are urging their names in Illinois, What I will or will not do on any public question 13 well known in every nook & corner of the country. So far as Gov. Palmer is known out- side of our state he is known as an abie man With courage to do whatever he wants to do, but what he will want to do nobody knows and the democrats or the country are in no mood to take him on trust. It will not be uatil after all the democrats have very effectually used each other up in the convention that it will go to hunting up a republican like gee Davis to in. if at all, as a com- nominate. He must come promise at the end, and so the state going for me at first cannot prejudice him, in Short the state may do sometiiing with me—not with either of the other gentlemen. Besids now that the thing has been so much talked up I want the vote of the state delegation and I ‘think under the circurastances as a democrat of the olden time I ought to have it If you think itis the Vp ed thing to do I want your assist- ance and co-operation in securing it, Piease do not fail to give the matter such attention as you om yenienay may, I have written several of ol tic friends as I write you and expect their help in this matter, i Respect yours Wm R Morrison Washington May 28 1330 D.

The First 8 Ballots, Associated Press Report. The Oudlook Uncertain. Cnrtcaco, June The morning 1s bright and coo}. The hotels and city have been materially depleted of their crowds since Saturday. At 10 o'clock the delegates are coming in slowly and the galleries rapidly filling up with tators. Speculation as to the result of to-day {s very dl- verse, The Grant men profess confidence but do not look it. They admit their vote will fall below 300 on the first ballot, but urge that it will inerease on subsequent roll-calls, and they Will win as soon as the friends of Sherman and the other nominees who are lower in the lists shall see that the contest 1s between Grant and Blaine. The friends of the latter do not talk but appear equally confident and resolute. It looks to-day as if their vote might lead Grant's on the first ballot, but no prediction will be safe in the present condition of affairs, Opening Proceedings. CHicaco, June 30 a. m.—The delegates are generally In their seats, and the great part of the galleries fs densely filed. At 10:40 o'clock the chair called the convention to order. Prayer was offered by Rev. Charles Hall Everest, of the Plymouth Congregational chureh, Chicago. At the request of several delegates the 5th and 6th resolutions of the platform were read for Information, there having been some mis- Saas in regard to them in the public min Mr. Iiale moved to proceed under the rules to ballot for candidates for President. The Decks Cleared. Mr. Conkling inquired whether under the rules ft was not a matter of course to proceed to ballot without a motion. ‘The chair said he did not so understand it. Mr. Conkling then seconded the motion. Mr. Hoar briefly addressed the convention upon the importance of the proceedings abou! to be had, counseling dignity, decorum and quiet by both delegates and spectators. The First Ballot. ‘The roll of states was then called, and yotes were cast as follows: States. Blaine. Sherman, Edmunds. Windom. Washburne, Auabama.

Mr. Conkling’s call for an individual roll call apparently was for the purpose of getting a re- cord of Mr. Woodin’s vote, which, however, was cast by his alternate for Blaine. ' One vote was short In West Virginia, understood to be ba- cause of the absence of one delegate. Mr. Campbell, of West Vil a, attempted to make a statement as to the vote, but it was ruled out of order. and he then cast the vote, Immediately afterwards Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, attempted to make a question of privilege of it, and to state that Mr. Campbell’s object was to present the vote of an alternate, but he, too, was ruled out of order.

CricaGo, June 7.—After a Sunday of storm in Weather and politics, the fifth day of the con- vention opens bright and clear. There does not seem to be any change in the situation, although a great many efforts have been made to prepare for contingencies. Senator Conkling called a meeting of the chairmen of the south- ern delegations at the Palmer House late last night, at which the Grant vote in the south was revised. He made an appeal to them to vote solidly for Grant from first to last, which was seconded by Logan and Cameron, but it ap- peared that there had been so much delay that some of the delegations were getting demoral- zed. Talk Among the Delegations. The Blaine men have canvassed each delega- tion, and expect to hold their vote at over three hundred from the start. ‘The New England men are urging the ticket of Edmunds and Washburne. ‘The Massachusetts delegation have decided that 22 of them shall never vote for either Grant or Blaine, and the delegation expect to name the candidate. In the Indiana and Wisconsin delegations there has been some talk of Washbourne. Gov. Dennison Denies the Washington telegrams that the Sherman men have made any trade. He says they will not decide where they will go till all hope of nominating Sherman 1s lost. President Hayes Not a Nominee. Tne Chicago Tribune this morning says Pres- ident Hayes has written a letter declining to be a candidate. Grant or Blaine. ‘The Inter-Ocean says that the nominee ts Grant or Blaine, and that there is to be nodark horse. The Opening To-day. ‘The members of the convention were early on the floor this morning; the vast galleries were filjed up an hour before the gavel fell. As Garfield, Foster, Frye, Hale and Conklt came down the main aisle to their seats they. oie received with rounds upon rounds of ap- plause. Everywhere the interest and excitement were marked on men’s faces. The bands played in- cessantly in the galleries, but the musie was drowned in the roar of the convention. Surface Signs. A trip through the delegations seemed to In- dicate that the great struggle would end to- day. Among the Grant men there was considerab.e wavering, and several admitted to your corre- spondent to-day that they gave him up for the first time, The surface indications all favored Blaine, with one of the dark horses as a possi- bility. Thus the current of speculation went on. The delegates did not even heed the Opening prayer, but talked and gesticulated, till the chairman appealed to the convention 'to matn- tain the dignity of the great occasion for the oer the American people at home and abroad. ‘The clerk read the rule against the unit rule, onl then the roll call proceeded as follows for e First Ballot: It stocd— Grant. Blaine 378 The District of Columbia divided one for Grant and one for Blaine. Grants yote alone was recelved with great applause. It was just their estimate, How the New York Delegation Voted. The New York delegation was polled; Conk- ling refusing to cast the vote as the state con- vention ordered it as a unit. It cast 17 for Blaine, 51 for Grant, and 2 for Sherman,—three Jess than Blaine expected. Result of the Second Ballot. On the second ballot the result was changed but little. Some excitement was caused by the polling of the Florida and West Virginia dele- ations, by which it appeared that the chatr- fan had not correctly cast their votes. The te a nae in Grant’s vote was warmly ap- iu Rapid Balloting. The ballots were taken very rapidly, the convention keeping perfect order. Up to the sixth ballot there were no changes of import- ance, Bor any caucussing to charge results, A Hit at Conkling. When New York was called on the second and subsequent ballots, Mr. Conkling announc- edit solemnly this way: ‘I am informed that 2 delegates vote for Sherman, 17 for Blaine, and 51 for Grant.” On the sixth ballot, when West Virginia was called, Chairman Campbell, whom Mr. moved the other day to expel, mock Leva said, “I am in- sir Qat. oe 2 peg As are for popes oem contrast was 80 great and Prorcgoing ts'cony of a letter written to some munds, 31; ‘Washburne, 31; Windom; 10; Gar- went rR on the serene | allot Mr ake oe .

Secretary Sherman was shown a newspaper Statement to-day by Tu# SraR reporter, In which it Was asserted thatafter a consultation with ex-Senator Simon Cameron, Matt Carpen- ter and J. B. Holloway, of Indiana, he had con- sented, under certain circumstances, to ally his forces with those of Gen. Grant —, Blaine. Tt was also stated that n been had to this end, abd that the agreement was an as- sured fact. Secretary Sherman said ——— * You can deny that. I have seen neither Sena- ‘or Carpenter or Senator Cameron. 1 did not know they were in town. Mr. Holloway was in the office thts morning, You can make as posi- live a dental of this statement as you may see fit. ‘There ts no truth in it.” The Chicago Excitement. INTEREST IN THE SENATE. When the telegraphic reports of the first Dal- tot at Chicago began to arrive In the Senate business Was nearly suspended. Senators moved | about the floor, comparing telegrams, and quite @ crowd coliected around Senator Blaine, who | scratched his head as if he didnt ike the num- ber of votes he got, and at once left the cham- ber. It was supposed he went home to be near his telegraph operator and direct movements is Interest. AROUND THE CAPITOL RULLETIN BOARDS, ‘The crow¢s around the bulletin boards at the Capitol to-day were greater than on any pe. ‘ious occasion since the convention met. The House and Senate chambers wore a deserted air while the balloting was golng on, and Senators and Representatives cquipped with tally pi and lead pencils stoodin tne crowds which tea the corridors before the telegraph offices mark- ferent states as they were displayed on the bulletins. Atig:10 TRE RESULT OF THE FIRST BALLOT became known. The resull created some little surprise. ‘The Blaine men had estimated that Grant would receive 257 and Blaine about 305 votes. In the preliminary work of the conven- tton the Grant men had obtained 47. votes New York, whereas on the first first ballot the ex-President obtained 51 votes from Mr. Conk- ling’s delegation, The Grant men had evident- ly been at work with the Texas and Virginia delegations, In the former state, which was claimed by Blaine, Grant received 11 voves; Vir- ginia gave Grant 1S votes, contrary to the an- Ucipation of the Sherman men. The action of the Massachusetts delegation, which was « claimed solid for Edmunds, gave 2 for Sherman snd 1 for Washburn on the first ballot. At Cin- cinnatt four years ago Mr. Blalue received 285 voles on the first ballot, one less than he re- ceived to-day. EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE DEPARTMENTS. Very little work was done in the departments to-day; In fact, very litte work was done any- where. The city had gone wild over the Chi- cago convention. There was hardly an exoep- tion to this rule. Grant, Blaine, Sherman and Edmunds men thronged around the bulletin boards a hundred deep and yelled as each vote was posted. In the departments the excitement was 8s high, Bulletins of each ballot were re- ceived and displayed. Anxious clerks crept from their rooms and devoured the lettering thereon, They went back to work bat to come out again In a few moments. Special announce- ments of the result of each ballot were recelved by Secretary Sherman in the room adjoluing his office; Sevator Blaine was kept informed by his private wire, ard the President was not lacking for information through the telegraph operator, Mr. Montgomery, at the White Hiouse. ‘There was never more exctte- ment in Washington over even the result of a Presidential ¢lection. While there was cheer- ing at every ballot there was all along, It was evident, a feeling of suspense. ‘The crowd were ballot. Nothtay eise would satisfy them. Telegrams received at the different offices here show that the same feeling of deep interest was manifested in every place where there s a telegraph ofiice, SECRETARY SREKMAN NOT WOKRIED. ‘The department people early in the afternoon abandoned all pretense at work and waited re- sults. Secretary Sherman was the coolest man of them all. Iie was tn his office and attended to his duties or read the result or ballots with equal apparent indifference. Society Notes. Friends of the Cooper family, whose names are so unpleasantly linked now with that of Senator Ferry, assert their positive conyiction that Mrs. Cooper was in nowise involved in the affair in any manner which can reflect in the least upon ber character. Those who know her best speak of her asa most devoted wife, and one who has made many sacrifices for her hus- band.
