DgaTH OF Dr. HaLt.—A large circle of friends and acquaintances, not in Washington alone, but extending into every state and territory of the Union, wil 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 attainment, his 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 more generally or favorably known at the national capital than Dr. Hall, and the death of but few persens would leave a wider or deeper gap. MOVEMENTS OF UNITED STATES NAVAL VES- SELs.—Information received by the Navy de- partment announces the arrival of the Trenton at Villefranche, May 20th. She expected to start about June 10th on a northern cruise. The Nipsic will look out for American interests in east Mediterranean waters.

MORRISON'S VIEWS ON THE SITUATION. ‘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 attractéd a good deal of attention and provoked considerable com- ment, and also, per! some bad feeling: Washington May 2s 1880 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 ord 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 1861 lately pud- ished in the New York Sym is hurtful to him Gov Hendricks 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 as about the only man In sii sieht with any public record which would stand the test. It was also suggested that some campaign noise 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. pon T am not crazy on the subject, nor have IT built any it expectations upon it. Still! am not without reasons for belleving 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 1n a position to make itself most effective in naming 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 is 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 able 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 until after all the democrats have very effectually used os other up in the convention that it will hunting up a republican like Judge Davis nominate. He must come in, if at ali, asa com: promise at the end, and so the state golag for Ine at first cannot prejudice him, in short the state may do something with me—not with either of the other gentlemen. Beside 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 proper thing to do I want your assist- ance and co-operation in securing it, Piease do Rot fail to give the matter such attention as you conveniently may, I have written several of our old democratic friends as I write you and expect their belp in this matter, Respectfully yours Wm R Morrison Es ‘Washington May 28 1530 Se ee Dear Sir Foregoing ts copy of a letter written to some of our ¢emocratic friends in Il. {think lam not mistaken in believing that Mr. Tilden will not be nominated.

THE FIGHT GOES ON. MORE FRUITLESS BAL- LOTING. 14 BALLOTS SO FAR. BUT FEW OHANGES. Special To The Star. Mr. Conkling’s Appeal to Southern Delegates. 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 hope for contingencies. Senator Conkling d 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 poe of the delegations were getting demoral- re Talk Among the Delegations. The Blaine men have canvassed each delega- ton, 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 Washburne, Gov. Dennivon 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 is lost. Président Hayes Not a Candidate. The 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 filled up an hour before the gavel fell. As Garfield, Foster, Frye, Hale and Conkling came down the main aisle to their seats they = 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 music was drowned in the roar of the convention, Surface Signs. A trip through the delegations seemed to in- dicate that the great struggle woula 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 Be) with one of the dark horses as a possl- bility. Thus the current of speculation went on. ‘The delegates did not even heed the yr | prayer, but talked and gesticulated, till the chairman appealed to the convention to main- tain the dignity of the great occasion for the oer of the American people at home and abroad. The clerk read the rule against the unit rule, - then the roll call proceeded as follows for e First Ballot: m Necessary to a choice. The District of Columbia divided one for Grant and one for Blaine. Grant’s vote alone was received 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 a3 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- gations, by which it appeared that the chair- man had not correctly cast their votes. The cates Increase in Grant’s vote was warmly ap- plaud 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, nor aby caucussing to change results. A Hit at Conkling. ‘When New York was called on the second and subsequent ballots, Mr. Conkling announc edit solemnly this way: ‘Iam informed tha‘ 2 delegates vote for Sherman, 17 for Blaine, and 51 for Grant.” On the sixth ballot, when West Virginia was called, Chairman Campbell, whoin = cones moved the other day to expel ith mock ney, sald, “I am in- formed t Mae one delegate is for Grant and seven are for Blaine.” Ba contrast was so great and the hit 80 ‘that the convention laughed heart iatioa a the seventh Mr. Conk- Ung dtd not notice 1t, and voted as usual, but Mr. Campbell repeated his tilt. Garfield as a Dark Horse. On the eighth ballot, when Grant gained i and Blaine 4 over the seventh, there were shouts be- tween the partisans of Grant and Blaine,which were taken up by the crowds outside the build- ing. ‘The effort to make Cy aa as loudly applauded when forced it with |'vote on the ninth ballot. ‘Two Sensations on the Ninth Ballot On the ninth ballot Tennessee cast one vote for Hayes and was loudly applauded, but mostly bse inograales os aichecrrtcebh ane this ballot created a sensation and for a mo- a mene it was felr that 2 change was ooetng.

It wasalso stated that negotiations had been had to this end, and that the agreement was an as- sured fact.” Secretary Sherman sald positivel “ You can deny that.

When the telegraphic reports of the first bal- lot at Chicago began to arrive in the Senate business was nearly suspended. Senators moved about the floor, comparing telegrams, and quite a crowd collected around Senator Blaine, who scratched his head as if he didn’t like 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 In Chicago for his interest. AROUND THE CAPITOL BULLETIN BOARDS. ‘The crowds around ee bulletin boards at the Capitol to-day were greater than on any pre- Views occasion siuce the convention met. rhe House and Senate chambers wore a deserted air while the balloting was going on, and Senators and Representatives equipped with tally papers and lead pencils stood in the crowds which filled the corridors before the beg a offices mark- ing down the votes of the different states as they were displayed on the bulletins, Ati2:10 THE RESULT OF THE FIRST BALLOT became known. The result created some little surprise. The Blaine men had estimated that Grant would receive 287 and Blaine about 303 yotes, In the preliminary work of the conven- tion the Grant men had obtained 47 votes from New York, whereas on the first first ballot the ex-President obtained 51 votes from Mr. Conk- ane) '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 Pog Vir- Inia gave Grant i8 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 énd 1 for Washburn on the first ballot. At Cin- cinnati four years ago Mr. Blaine received 285 votes on the first ballot, one less than he re- ceived to-day. EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE DEPARTMENTS. Very litle work was done in the departments to-day; in fact, very little work was done any- where. The city had gone wild over the Cht- cago convention. There was hardly an excep- ton to this rule. Grant, Blaine, Sherman and Edmunds men thronged around the bulletin beards a hundred deep and yelled as each vot~ Was posted. In the departments the excitement was as high. Bulletins of each ballot were re- ceived and displayed. Anxious clerks crep! irom their rooms and devoured the lettering thereon. They went back to work but to com: out again in a few moments. Special announce- ments of the result of each ballot were received by Secretary Sherman in the room adjolaing | chan, his office; Senator Blaine was kept infort by his private wire, and the President In North Carolina Grant gained one | EIGHTEEN BALLOTS. ——__-—_— AND NO CHOICE YET.

Telegrams receive: at the different offices here show that the same feeling of deep interest was manifested in every place where there Is a telegraph office. SECRETARY SHERMAN NOT WORRIED. 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.
