GARFIELD. Special to The Star. The Situation This Morning. Cacao, June 8, 1580. The sixth day of the convention opens with, , the conviction among many of the delegates that it will result ina nomination. It was the field last night that moved and carried an ad- jourrment, and on whomsoever it can unite he will be to- nominated. ‘The opinion seems to be that late to-day Washburue, or posstbly Garfield or Edmunds will be the fortunate man, though the Grant line will remain solid for some time in the neignborhood of 200. It 1s still con- fdent and fired a salute last night over its vic- tory in forcing the opposition to adjourn, and it it can secure eighty votes out of the break up, of which the leaders are absolutely confident, then Grant will be nominated. Such was the Situa- Uon when the convention came to order this morning. The Morning Papers take different views. The Times thinks the Grant line will fight it out if it ta all sum- mer. The Jnfer-Ocean says there is no doubt that Grant will secure enough from Wisconsin and elsewhere to nominatehim. The Tribune, strong ant!-Grant, this morning discusses the possibility of his nomination, which virtual ad- niission, Very much elates the Grant mea. rging the Grant Leaders to Stick. ‘here are hundreds of dispatches from all parts of the country to the Grant leaders urg- them to stand firm.

Opening Proceeding’s To-day. Cnicaco, June $,—The chair called the con- Yention to order at 10:35 o'clock, at which hour the delegates were generally in their seats, and the galleries three-fourths filled. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Thomas, of the Centenary Methodist Church of Chicago. The Twenty-Ninth Ballot. The chair ordered the roll call for the 29th ballot and it was proceeded with. When the State of Alabama was called and the vote was announced, its Correctness was questioned by a Member of the delegation, and the chair ordered the roll of delegates to be called. ‘Then one of the delegates stated that a col- league was absent sick and had authorized him to cast his vote for him, and he asked whether he could do so. To this the chairman replied that the roll-call must not be interrupted, and that the question would be decided when it arose. The roil-call went on, and when the name of Alexander was called and responded to the question was raised as to whether the respoase bad been made by Alexander; !t was adwitied that It had not been. A second dele e from Alabema also failed to respond, and then when the delegates were called th mes Of the al- ternates for the absent delegates were called. ‘There was a response, however, from only one t them. ‘The chair stated as his mode of executing the Tule on the subject that in une case of a failure of a delegate to respond the name of the alver- nate standing opposite oa the roll could be cailed, and if he did not respond then the nanes of the other alternates from that district would be called, and In the case of delegates at large the names of other alternates of that ciass would be called. The vote of Alabama was then announced a3 Grant 15; Blaine, 1; Sherman, 3. The result of the decision wa3 to lose Grant one vote. When Virginia was called the chair- mah announced 16 for Grant, 3 tor Blaine and 3 tor Sherman. A colored delegate challenged the vote, and a roll was called in detail, when 4 re- sponded for Sherman instead of 3, as previously announced. Mr. Carter, a delegate at large,was absent, and an alternate responded for him. Subsequently the delegate who had changed from Blaine to sherman, changed his vote back to Blaine, which left Virginia recorded as origi- nally: Grant, 16; Blaine, 3; Sherman, 3.

Alabama cast 16 for Grant, which being chal- lenged, and the chair again aed that no dis- trict delegate could cast a vote for a delegate temporarily absent except his alternate, Ala- bama’s vote was changed to 15 for Grant, 1 for Blaine and 3 for Sherman; being one short.

When the territory of Wyoming was called the response which had Invariably been “Grant, Blaine,” was changed to “Blaine, 1; Gen. Phillp N. Sheridan, 1.” For some time it was sup- posed the last vote was for Sherman, and the clerk so announced it, but when the real fact came out it was appreciated by the convention and audience and there was a good deal of en- thusiasm stirred up. Gen. Sheridan, who had @ seat on the platform, was approached by Chairman Hoar and pleasantly congratulated. GEN, SHERIDAN’S LITTLE SPEECH. Then, with the assent of the chair, the GencTal stepped to the edge of the platform, wed his acknowledgment and said: I am ¥ery much obliged to the delegate from Wyom- ing for mentioning my name in the convention, and there ts no way in which I could accept a nomination by this convention except I would ene to turn it over to my best friend. cheers. Sheridan then returned to his seat and the chairman (apologetically) sald that the chatr had presumed upon the permission of the con- vention to allow the illustrious soldier who had Just spoken to interrupt the order of che pro- ceedings; that, however, would be a privil oe accorded to no other person whatever.

Congratulates Mr. Garfield. Secretary sherman this afternoon sent the following to General Garfield: WASHINGTON, Hon.

THE CONVENTION AND THE ADJOURNMENT Qu 110 Tune 8, 1850, Tit: The democrats are awaiting the result of the balloting at Chicago with almost as much in- terest as the republicans. On the Speaker’s table in the House are the electoral count reso- lution and the deputy marshals and chief su- Pervisors of elections bills. It is desired to pass the resolution changing: the method of count ing the electoral votes before Congress adjourns, and ff possible to secure action on the two other es Measures The democrats fear that if Grant or Blaine {s nominated the republi- cans will come back from Chicago determined to put in a montn of carapaign work at the pub- lic expense before adjournment, The demo- crats are much more solldified on the adjourn- Ment question now than they were a month ago. ‘The tariff reformers know that it will be im possibie to accomplish anything if Congre-s remains here all summer. Thelr constituents understand this fact. Hence, a great majority will ioe any resolution for adjournme:t which the Senate may pags. THE BREAK FOR GARFIELD, At 1:20 p.m. to-day Mr. Blaine’s friends at the Capitol began to abandon all hopes of his nom- ination. The news of the break In Gartftel 34th ballot showed that it was almost impos- sible that either Blaine or Sierman could ob- tain the nomination. Grant was certain to pas by a break in the forces of either, while laine could not have secured enough votes had Sherman’s strength gone to pieces to give him the nomination. An Ohio republican o: prominence sald that the sudden increase tween the th and 33d ballots in Shermaa’s yote was only temporary, and his predictioa Was speedily proved true. GREAT EXCITEMENT AT THE CAPITOL. At 1:40 p.m. the news of the breaking up of Blaine’s forces was recetyed. It produced great excitement at the Capitol. Bulletins were re- ceived every momeat at the telegraph offi » and great crowds assembled in the old Hal Representatives where the bulletins were di played. Members were constantly runni trom their seats to the bulletin boards and bick again, and a tream of private telegrams fr Chicago were delivered to Senators and Rep: sentatives, At 1:47 p.m., the news that M had cast her votes for Garfield was ree and the last reed upon which Blaine’s f based their hopes was broken. At2p. m. the news that Garfield had cer- tainly been nominated was received at th Capitol. No tally had been recelved at that time to Indicate the result of the thirty-sixta ballot, but the republican m2mbers were con- fident that the result would be largely in Gar- field’s favor, anda motion was made that the House adjourn. Ona viea voce vote, and also on a division, the motion was carried. The democrats demanded the ayes and noes. When Garfield's name was called the repubil— cans applauded loudly. From time to tims loud cheers were given by the crowds in the corridors. At 2:15 p.m. a bulletin was received aubouncing Garfield's nomination. The cheers im the corridors were echoed by many of the republicans on the floor. AROUND THE DEPARTMENTS. The interest in the Chicago convention was Intensified to-day. The bulletin boards inside and outside the departments always had a big crowd around them. ‘The cheering was great, and more frequent than it has been heretofore. SECRETARY SHERMAN aid not goto the Cabinet meeting to-day, but Staid In is office calmly receiving the news. THE THIRTY-SIXTH BALLOT created great enthusiasm. Each bulletin show- ing the gains made rapidly by Garfield, as the Blaine and Sherman men combined on him were greeted with. THE WILDEST SORT OF HOWLING and indiscriminate throwing of kats. The an- nouncement “Garfield ts nominated!” increased the uproar on every side. But a very small art of the crowds waited to hear anything Tther. The departments quieted down to a certain extent, but there was a big buzz every- where. ‘The Grant men took the defeat of their candidate greatly to heart. The Blaine and Sherman seemed almost as well satistied as if their men had been chosen. SECRETARY SHERMAN SATISFIED. Secretary Sherman expressed himseit as per- fectly satisfied. In fact, he said he was certain that the cat would jump that way. THE PRESIDENT APPROVED TO-Day the follow- ing bills and joint resolutions: Donating 30 bronze cannon (condemned) for the erection of a statue to Gen. Meade; turning over four Pieces of cannon for use of the Marion (S. C.) artillery; making an appropriation for a monu- ment to Gen.

Alabama | ‘a two | A WALL STREET MAN ON WALL STREET. Mr. Rufus Hatch, the weli-known Wall street banker, spent the cay in town yesterday. His views on the New York stock market, as ex- pressed in the following interview with a Srar reporter, will be found-tnteresting to that por- ; tion of its readers who occasionally “take a flyer” in the stock market, if not to the generai public: Star Reporter:—What 18 going on in Wil! street, now, Mr. Hatch? Mr, Hatch:—The whole stock boom of 1a3t year was based upon our enormous export of Wheat, and the unprecedented crops in this country, together with an extraordinary st ie of affairs in England and the entire continen’, being a universal failure of crops, thus enabiiug us to export about $220,000,000 worth of wheat and flour alone inten months. It was not a Sherman boom er a Grant boom, but what wight be termed a wheat telephone—electric lght—Menlo Park—Edisoi—sky-rocket business that was short live Prices in many instances Were too low in 1875 and 1876, and they certain- ly went much too high in the early part of 1879 and the b: ginning of 1880, ‘Star:—The boom in Wall street has experi- eLced a collapse, has it not? Mr, Hatch:—The coupes ceca came in November. They mended the boom, and It commenced again on Vanderbilt’s selling some seventy-five millions of photo-ltthographic pic- tures, Chromos and photographs, and appoiat- ing the government his guardian and trustee, as he certainly did when he invested that money in the 4 per cents and exchanged his s per cent New York Central stock for 4's. Tae market began to decline from the day he sold his first twenty-five millions of stock, and has not yet recovered. In my opinion, { doubt ir ic does occur, as Secretary Sherman has not yet resumed specie payments. Star;—How is that? Mr. Hatch:—The greenbacks are still called legal-tender money. He ignores the laws tha stamped the silver dollar and half dollar by re- fusing to execute the laws, and by asking Con to appropriate money to build more cel- lars for vaults to store his silver in, and cont uing to issue one and two dollar greenbac! when he should have retired them and Issued larger ones in their stead. In that way he Would haye put the entire silver, so far issued, into circulation. Star:—Then you think that Secretary Sh: man fs really responsible for the enormois hoarding of our silver? Mr. Hatch:—Me certainly is responsible forthe storage of every dollar of silver that now Ii-s idle in the vaults. ‘The paper money of Eng- jand Is a tive pound note, which 1s twenty-live dollars, of the Bank of England, and a one pound note, which ts tive dollars, issued by (ly limited Mability banks in Scotland and Irélanc. All below five dollars is either ‘That isthe law and the fact t To show the false position of this finanetal minister, | me remind you that he recommended in his an- ual message last December that Congr should continue issuing four per cents, Whoa money in Wall street for six years had ony averaged 2% per cent on government securi and avout the same fn London, the two gre! financial centers of the world.

Star:—What do you think of the result of ta> very large emigration to this country that is now going on? Do you think that will offs+t any failure of the crops {n Europe? . Hatch:—I differ entirely with the posit ton ‘the press has taken on this subject, and wil that of the parties who are blowing ‘this boos at these toilated prices. Of the emigrants com- ing here, it is safe to say one-hait have only money enough to land them at Castle Gard- and to support taem for ninety days. A « tam per cent of them—perhaps ten or twe: per cent—have money, and are going west Open up new farm lands; bat itiakes trom tv. to five years to open ‘up a farsa, a3 any m: who knows about western farmlag will agt ‘The balance of these emigrants are here to tac the place of mechanics and laborers, or to be supported by the charities ot our large cit Our people will find this to be true before n January.

NORTHERN PACIFIC. “Now here is Northern Pacific. I think that is the most: gigantic swindle that has ever been attempted to be perpetrated upon a confiding public. In the first place they are too far north to raise anything but wheat and oats. ‘They cannot raise corn, hogs or cattle there at a rot. They cannot compete with Missouri, exas, Iijinois or Iowa in these products. 1f wheat should decline, and we shouid have oniy alimited export demand for it this year, you will probably see wheat sell lower, before the year is out than {thas sold in the west for the past twenty years. Vanderbilt has undoubt- edly foreseen ‘this state of affairs, and put bis house in order.” Star:—How about the financial prospects of the Northern Pacific—their land grants, &. Ar, Hatch:—I do not know what Congress 1s going to do about their land grants. They have got some good land for raising wheat. If the Toad was situated in the southwestern states, With the land grant they now have, they could build four roads, As I understand it, they are More tan if cost, (perhaps Tena for nore (per! am mistaken. leaving a dividend to the constructors and on licers. The preferred stock, as I understand, 1s taken at par, and these lands are put in from three dollars an acre upwards, to the honest emigrant. Thecommon stock does not vote, and as this stock costs these men nothin, , OX- cept for printing paper and ink, they can focats perl enough, and still hold control of the prop- erty. S'ar:—You do not regard investment in Northern Pacific stock as good, then? Mr. Hatch:—I certainly should not want to buy it. Their construction account, for mov- ing material for their new road, ts probably their largest Income at the present time. ‘This Scheme of one hundred millions of stock, fitty- One million preferred and forty-nine millions of common, is a swindle upon every man who buysit. The Jay Cooke swindle is only a baby to this one. With the same propriety they could issue two hundred militons of stock, ninety-nine millions of common and a hundred acd one millions of preferred. I would not be surprised before many months to see as great 2 coliapse under the present management as occurred under Jay Cooke. And unless the re. pads ie ae wheat as, and crops ually as good, the second col- lapse will be more serious than the first. CANADA SOUTHERN. Canada Southern is purely a gift enterprise.

The Lake Shore Railroad will pay four Per cent. next dividend. Extraordinary state- Ments are made about their earnings; but their average bem per annum for the last six years is less four per cent. This is the first time in several years that they have in- creased their bonded debt. Louisville and Nash- ville could have been bought a year for less that one-half of what it is to-day. Nashville and Chattanooga is a gift enterprise from the officers of the road to the lambs that will biy it. The New York Elevated road and the Man- hattan Elevated road are also gift enterprises. Remember that Vanderbilt bought his Michizan Central at from 36 to 50, and has been the lambs with it at from 80 to 90.

Union Pacific will conunue to pay tts dividends So long as the mining fever lasts in the Rocky Mountains, COAL. . STOCK. Stav:—How about the coal stock? Afr. Hatch:—The exposé of Mr. Gowen's In- competency as a manager of a great property ds certainly a very serious black eye teat coal property, taking into account the collapse in the fron business. ‘This, perhaps, does not so fully apply to New Jersey Central as it does to all the other coal property, as they are not a3 dependent upon coal bustuess for their income as other coal roads, What the coal properties need is economical and honest management combined. The outcome of this fron business is yet to be decided. It is undeniably the fact that you can import steel rails trom England,paying #28 duty, at_ $55 per ton, guaranteed to last twelve years on any service they may be put to, and still paying the English manufacturer, This ts shown by Vanderbilt’s purchase some months since, at $51, with a guarantee for twelve years of any service he chose, instead of from #45 to #17 in this country, without the guarentee, NEW JERSEY CENTRAL is trortgaged very heavily. Their fixed charge is, as I remembcr, about $254,009 a mile. Oue thing fs certain: there can be no dividends on Any of the coal roads this year, but with a large re traffic on the New Jers2y Central it is possible for that road to pull through. WESTERN UNION Stands ip, with all their mortgages, lantic and Pacific, about sixty miilior it doi- Jars, at par. The American Union ts being con structed very rapidly, on a cash basis, and the Wesiern Union will find them very different competitors for the business than the Atlant and Pacific was seven to ten years ago. Every tmaile of wire and poles, and the property that they own, can and will be rapidly duplicated at an early day for less than six millions If peo- ple are buying Western Union expecting a ¢ Mnuation of dividends they may be fearfully disappointed, WABASH AND PACIFIC hat I_term a consolidated omelette ot sev- nd worthless lines placed in one ard calied by another name.

They will probably pay a dividend on the preferred stock, even if Mr. Sage has 10 lend the money. There is one thing that should : that Mr. Gould and his asso clates do not manufacture stocks to buy, but to sell.

Then look for the mending of the booin cn a very large decline. Bear tn mind, how- ever, that Wm. H. Vanderbilt will not buy back his stocks unless he buys them at a good round profit. He is a good waiter, as is shown In li eee ent of the estate left by the old Com. modore. THE OTHER SIDE. Now, the other side of this question is that a majority of our railroads are in better conditlo: than ever before. The Pennsylvania Central probably the great perfect road of this country and the Baltimore and Ohio may come n These are the short lines from the seaboard to the farms and producing sections of the west, and have not as much water in them as the New York Central. Erle is in a greatly improved condition. People are travelling, basing and selling. The whole nation 1s @ pation of speculators. But for the life of me I can’t see any very material advance in the se- curiues so prevalent on the New Stock Ex- change at the present tline, especially the new ones. Mr. Fink is a clerk to Mr. Vanderbi!t fh and of the trunk lines afterwards, and it Di ‘sary for these insiders to break the mar. ket, you will will see Mr. Fink lower his tariff to a point to pass dividends on the trunk lines all around the horizon, until Vanderbilt brings back the securities he has been selling.
