Appleton & Co. have issued a life of Hon, Thomas F. Bayard, in a handsomely printed bound volume of 303 pages. The lit- erary work is by Mr. Edward Spencer. The statement that Gen. Garfleld probably furnishes the only instance of a presidential candidate being taken from among the delegates to the nominating convention {s not correct. Hon. Horatio Seymour was a delegate to and president of the democratic national convention Which met in New York, and nominated him for the presidency, in 156s. The New York correspondent of the Philade!- phia Ledger says that however surprising the ncmination of Mr. Arthur to the Vice Presidency May be to the rest of the country, it is risk- ing nothing to say that his name will largely add to the strength of the republican ticket in the city of New York. “Bayard and Morrison” would be a very good Way to meet the west and east of republicanism with the east and west of democracy, according to the Richmond S/ate. An ardent Callfornta republican who is now in Washington expresses himself delighted with the proportions the Field boom has assumed. and hopes Mr. F, will be nominated. Then, he Says, the fun will begin. The Pacific coast, he declares, will pile up such a record against him as will make him the worst beaten presidential candidate that ever ran, Not only could Judge Field not carry a state west of the Rocky moun- tains, according to this gentleman, but he wonld lose a number of states on this side now consid- ered certainly democratic. IMinois democrats are talking of Payne and Pott eras a Presidential ticket to offset Garfleld and Arthur, And it wouldn’t be a weak com- bination, either. Seymour is much more likely, however, to be the head of the Cincinnati! ticket, with an acceptable western man for the second place. ‘There are indications lately that Gov. Seymour has changed his mind and would now be Willing to run. “Garfield and Glory” is the way the Cincin- nati Commercial heads it. This sounds pretty well, but it leaves the candidate for Vice-Presi- dent a long way out of sight. Nomivations.—The President this afternoon Sent to the Senate the nomination of J. Mason Rice, of Georgia, to be collector of customs for the district of St. Mary’s, Ga. THE NEW POSTMASTER GENERAL,—Hon. Hor- ace Maynard, lately confirmed as Postmaster General, 1s expected to arrive here from his mission at Russia July 1st next or shortly after. Judge Key will remain in the Post Office depart- ment until relieved b; Maynard, ‘THE WARREN Court OF Inquiry devoted yes- terday’s session to reading and verifying the record for the public printer. No more wit- nesses will be examined until Congress ad- journs, as Generals Hunton and Ransom, who ha¥e been summoned by Gen. Warren, are members of that body, and decline to attend until after adjournment. Capt, HowGaTE DETERMINED TO START ON HIS Arctic EXrEDITION.—In view of the rejection of the Guinare as an Arctic expedition vessel by the Navy department, Captain Howgate has made a proposition to the President that the troops necessary to establish the stations, pro- posed in the plan of the expedition, be detailed or the service, and he will take them, pay- Ing all expenses himself. The President will refer this proposition to Secretary Ramsey upon bis return. Captain Howgate 18 making prep- arations for his expedition, and has sent to New Bedford to engage a crew for the Guinare. It is Understood that he intends to send out the ex- edition as a private enterprise, no matter what jappens. Preparations for the voyage are be- ing made on tke Gulnare, despite the adverse report of the board convenea by Secretary Thompson. Hon. CLARKSON N. Porrer, of New York, a Sort of democratic dark horse for Vice Presiden Ual candidate, is inthe city. He visited the House to-day, and was warmly greeted by his old associates.

G. Marshall pre- Siding. Mr. Marshall said no matter what ob Jections could be made to the republican presi- Gential nominees they would command the Votes of the republican party, and the democ- rary had the republican party to defeat, and not its nominees.

Oberly, of Sangamon; auditor, Lewis Starkel, of St. Ciair; treasurer, Thomas Butterworth, of Winnebago; attorney general, Lawrence Harmon, of Peoria. NEW JERSKY OVERRUN BY ARMY WoRMS.—The ravages of the army worm upon the wheat, corn and timothy crops in Ocean and Mon- mouth counties and other parts of New Jersey continue. Farmers who, at sunset, see their grass and rye doing well, awake at sunrise to Ind acres on acres destroyed. ‘The rapidity and thoroughness with which these worms do their work are appalling, and, oe ie With the late drought, this new scourge is likely ta make the Year 1s80 one of serious disaster to a part of New Jersey, About Long Branch the worm SEES uh as A tS grass 1s standing in John Hoye’s Holly- wood Park, the a fo th lay: is by Superintendent Mckay, of Hollywood, torepiace bare spots, were totally eaten up In three hours, looking as though a fire had swept through them. “On a foot square of sod 587 Worms were in the vicinity of Freehold the worm has made terrible lye y cornmelds.

Fripay, June 11, SENATE.—Mr. Groome submitted a resolu- Uon directing the Secretary of War to furnish ‘the Senate with an estimate of the cost of ‘‘giv- ing an increased depth of water to the city of Baltimore, say 27 feet at mean low water.” Adopted. On motion of Mr. Kirkwood the joint resolu- ton reported from the select. committee on the Temoval of the northern Cheyennes, instructing the Secretartes of the Interior and of War to re- Port boundaries for practicable reservations for ‘the Cheyennes in the Indian Territory and near Fort Keogh, was taken up and passed. Mr, Davis eG Va.) incroduced a bill to enable the courts of the United States in cases of fraud and misrepresentation to declare a patent void on the application of the attorney general. Re- fer aggThe ‘Senate proceeded to consider the calen- Tr. Senate bill for the relief of Joseph R. Shan- nop, of Louisiana, was The bext was Senate bill for the relief of the owners, ofiicers and crew of the late U. 8. private armed brig General Armstrong, destroyed in 1814, in the port of Fayal, by a British frigate, in violation of the neutrality of Portugal. The report on the bill says the claim has been pending 65 years. and the incidents connected with its history rival interest the tales of the imagina- ton. “Diplomatic relations with Portugal were once broken off on its account; it was submitted to Louts Napoleon when president of the French pepuic, for arbitration, and decided against this government. The claimants then sued the government in the court of claims, and lost the case on purely technical Bones A Dill for their rellet then passed the Senate, and received a large majority of those voting in the House, but failed for want of aquorom. The clati (for $10,000) is not one of legal right, but of equity, and appealing to patriotic cage ae Ave:some debate, another mishap was added to the history of the bill, Mr. Hoar objecting to the corskerston of so importanta bili under the five minute rule, and it went over.

House bills were passed removing the polit- ical disabilities of J. Wilkinson, of Richmon Va.; Chas. Carroll Simms, of Virginia; Joh Owens, of Portsmouth, Va., and Jos. A. Seawell, of Virginia. The hext was Mr. Bayard’s bill prohibiting thé arrest of election officers on election days. Mr. Bayard being absent, it went over, Mr. Mc- Donald announcing that he would call it up on Monday.

HOUSE.—According to the agreement made yesterday, the House immediately after the reading Of the journal proceeded to the constd- eration of the senate bill regulating the ap- pointment and pay of deputy marshals. Mr. Keifer opened the debate, Bad as the bill Was, aS great a sham as it was, he considered !t a matter of congratulation that it was here to- day. It was especially a matter of congratula- tion to the democratic party that it brought forth a bill which was intended to recognize the constitutional power of the United States to en- force the laws and preserve order on election days. But nevertheless it was a sham—intended to be passed for the purpose of annulling in- stead of improving the election laws, He con- tended that the real purpose of the bill was hid- den away under the very thinnest kind of gauze. It was impossible for any gentleman to name a Possible case where a district court could ap- point, under this bill, a deputy marshal to serve in reference to elections. There would first have to be discovered a district wherein there had never been a term of the circuit court? We e gentlemen prepared to defend this scheme? It Was said that this was a non-partizan measure. In his opinion it_ was the only absolutely parti- van measure pending before Congress. It pro- vided that the deputy marshals should be cnosen from different political parties, thus rendering ineligible for appointment every non- partizan citizen of the United States, Mr. Kelfer’s speech was here interrupted to allow the Senate amendments to the civil sun- dry bill to be non-concurred in, and a confer- ence committee consisting of Messrs. Blount, Clymer, and Monroe appointed thereon. Mr. Keifer, continuing, contended that the deputy marshals, as appointed under this bill, Would have no sort of duty to perform, whici he could be held responsible for failing’ to per- fcrm. It had been more manly in the demo- cratic party in the Forty-Fifth Congress to say that 1t would repeal all the laws that gave the sa pores to preserve the peace at the polls. It had aliowed that party to stand on a tore heroic ground than it did now, grovelling as {t must on necessity in attempting to pass Jaw which could not be enforced. In conciu- Sion, he eulogized the See ee and claimed that in this last session it educated the republican party up to the idea that there Was a government strong enough to defend sree Promo quuiout and ee and yet shorn of all power to oppress any of the people. Mr. Field argued in support of the ‘amend: ment which he had offer yesterday, and the provisions of which are as follows: That when- ever an election for members of Congress is to be held in any city or town of 20,000 inhabi- tants or upwards, special deputy marshals shall hereaiter,on the application of at least two resident citizens, be appointed by the U. S. clreuit court for the circuit wherein such city or town is situated; that such number of spe cial deputy ma shals shall be appointed as the court may deem necessary, and they shall ba be err in equal ron — ane oat politic parties, and shal citizens of good moral character, and actual residents of the voting precincts in which their duties are to b2 performed; that such deputy marshais shall b> under the order and control of the marshal of the district and subject to the provisions of title 260f the Revised Statutes relat to spectai Geputy marshals. He stated his objections to the Senate bill. If it had been intended to make aw which it would be impossible to ex2cute. that Intention could not have been better ac_ complished. In four states containing large cities, tne court, which, under this bili, must Appoint these mai came in for the first Ume, the day preceding the election. In other cases the court met seven betore- hand, when nobody could tell how y marshals would Garren an unpracticable one, not ted to the laws and not effective in its operation. > §2—A Vassar College girl reada r to pro’ that Phtholognyrrh spelled "Turner Her argu in colonel, is urt go, as in gaat a yah ta mn = gD, 0; cr myrrh, iser. oa sa fA Chicago widower hasa fine house of brown stone and brick, and he wants to know, TWO CENTS. | o | In the Senate to-day the bill to regulate the Practice of dentistry in the District of Colum- dia was indefinitely postponed, and the Dill to spake the crime of rape in the District punish- able with death was taken up but went over without acuon.

The ballot stood: Weaver, 224'4; Wright, 126%; Dillaye, 119; Butler, 95; Chase, Allis, 41; Campbell, 21, Betore the announcement of the first ballot it became evident that Weaver had a clear ma- jority, and all the delegates hastened to chang» their votes to that candidate. Motions sprang from every part of the con- vention to make his nomination unautmous, and just as the sun skone through the eastern windows the result was announced as 7ls for Gen. B.
