Most of them will get away, however, before next Tuesday. ‘THE CONGRESSIONAL LipRARY.—Senator Voor- hees to-day said that he was opposed to chang- ing the Capitol In order to enlarge the Con sional itprary. He was in favor, he sald, of erecting a building for the library on Judiciary square, and would do all in his power to ac- complish that end at the next ion of Con- gress. A COUNTERFEITER ARRESTED.—The agent of the secret service division at New York to-day telegraphs the arrest in that city of George Giles while passing counterfeit money. A quan- Uty of spurious halves and trade dollars were foundon his person when arrested. SECRETARY SHERMAN left the city this morn- ing for Norfolk, to be gone for several days on a recuperating trip.

COMMISSIONRRS TO THE INTENNATIONAL EX?o- siTI0N.—The act providing for the holding of an international exposition at New York, in 1853, provides for two commissioners from each state, with two alternates, to be appointed by the President. upon the recommendation of the gov- ernors of states. The President has withia the past two or three week, made a large number of these appointments. There are, however, about half the states yet to be provided with commissioners. The appointments will be made aS soon as the governors send in the names. Several of those appointed have already re- signed. The office doesn’t pay anything. ‘THE ANNOUNCEMENT that Chief Clerk Seely has resigned his position to take the office of princl- pal examiner of trade marks, has given rise to the question: What effect has the recent decl- sion of the Supreme Court of the United States, Coblpety, de trade mark law unconstitutional, had on the business of registering trade marks? Col. Seely says, while there has been a sensible duntnution in the number of applications, the law is still on the statute book, the office of principal examiner is sttll provided for in the Seaee bills passed by ag ee and ap- plicants are still satisfied with the protection Which the mere act of registering gives them. No application is _recelved, however, unless the applicant ts thoroughly conversant with the terms of the late decision and its effects. About +5 applications for registered trade marks have been tiled during the last month. Srorrep Tait and several of his band of Sioux were in conference with Secretary Schurz to- day. They are trying to get some minor allow. ances of money and clothing for thetr triba, MANUFACTURE OF BEET SUGAR.—The consul of the legation at Brunswick, Germauy, in a re- cent dispatch to the Department of State, gives the result of the manufacture of beet sugar during the season of S793). There was one more lactory in operation than in the preceding year, but a trifle less sugar was realized. The beets were not of so quality, owing to un- favorable weather aid damage from caterpli- lars. The pecuniary results were satisfactory. Sixty-eight marks per meter-centner were re- ceived against 6) marks tn 1si8-79. The “water question” Is now engaging the serious attention of manufacturers. The water used ion the man- ufacture of the sugar becomes fouled, and the streams tnto which the waste water Is emptied have such a bad odor that they become a public nuisance, detrimenta! to health. poe the coming season experiments will be made to posed new law of the remedy this evil. The proj German empire, for the protection of employés in factories against injury and loss of life, also disturbs manufacturers. It would require many factories to be idie for sore time, because a general rebuilding and remodelling would be- come necessary, Gov. Foster, of Ohio, ts in the city. He will leave to-morrow. He was asked by THe Star reporter to-day If Ohio would be republican ext fall. “She certainly will,” was the reply. “I confidently expect a much larger republican majority in the next election than has ever before been piled up in the state. There ts not the slightest doubt about Ohio.” He regarded Gar- Held as one of the strongest men in the repub- lican party. The attacks that were being made upon his character were futile and would haye no effect. ‘They were not worth noticing. AN INDIAN PANIC SUBSIDED.—The Post Office department ts in receipt of a letter from the Secretary of War transmitting dispatches trom Col. Otis and Maj. Merrill, of the 7th cav: 7, wo the effect that the fright along the line of the Northern Pacific, consequent upon the recent raid has, in a measure subsided. Col. OUs writes from Fort Lincoln, Dakota, that a courler has just come in with the news that oly four head of stock had been stolen and that only five Ind ans were seen by Captain Baker and party while out hunting.

VIEWS OF NUMEROUS DELEGATES TO THE CINCIN- NATI CONVENTION AS TO THR “COMING MAN’ AT CINCINNATI. ‘The stream of delegates that for several days poured through Washington to the Cincinnati convention ceased yesterday, and the hotel lob- Dies had a deserted appearance last night... The arriving and departing delegates talked o nothing but the coming convention and its probable action. Sra reporters mingled among the crowds of politicians and gathered from their conversation information as to someo the plans that will be used in pushing the sev- eral Presidential candidates. THE SEYMOUR MOVEMENT. The statement of certain western delegates who waited upon ex-Gov. Seymour that he had declared his willingness to make the race, though it should kill him, in the event that the convention should nominate him, had a boom ing effect upon the Seymour movement. Un- less some person shall be invested with author- ity to decline positively for Seymour, a deter- mined effort will be made to nominate him. The = is to quietly organize and consolidate the ‘elegates who favor him and then, when hisname is presented to the convention, to raise a hurrah and proj that he be nominated by acclama- tion. Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, !'ennessee, Arkansas, Texas and other states will vote solidly for Seymour it his name is offered. Vir- ginia and West Virginia, it is believed, would 1a'l immediately into line together with dele- gations from a number of the other states. The only positive opposition that has yet declared itself to Seymour comes from the ‘Tilden men in the New York delegation, but the advocates of the “sage of Deerfield” claim that that oppo- sition would be but as a straw in a whirlwind; that the uprising In the convention for Seymour would be tremendous, and if ‘Tilden’s tools kick they will be kicked out and the Tammany delegates seated.” It Is plain that Seymour {s by all odds the favorite, and if he will consent to oy it is more than probable he will be nomi- nated. THE BAYARD BOOM. None of the delegates who have passed through Washington were more earnest and enthusiastic than the Delaware men were for Bayard. The delegation believe that he ought to be nominated, and that he can be, unless Seymour's name shall be presented, and in that eyent, it is understood, Senator Bayard has given instructions that his name be withdrawn. The only point of opposition to Bayard that the Delaware delegateS expect to meet is based upon his speech of 1s61. Governor Fall and Representative Martin id this opposition could be best overcome bY Saving the Suogates read the speech, an“ they were provided with thousands of ceries which they intend to spread. through the Convention. They ciaimed that the speech Was loyal and patriotic, but that It had been garbled and ptesented by the New York Sim and other papers unfriendly to Bay- They had assurances that a majori- ty of the Massachusetts and New Jer- sey delegates would support Senator Bay- ard; that he would get South Carolina, Mis- Sissippl and Delaware solid. with nearly unant- mous delegations from Alabama, Florida, and, Tha) BS ‘Texas; also that the antl-Tilden mem- e18 ot the Pennsylvania delegation would join the Bayard ranks, Should the effort to nomi- nate Seymour fatl, Bayard will prove a strong candidate. His friends believe he will have more votes than any other aspirant, not except- ing Tilden. THURMAN’S CANDIDACY. Mr, John G. Thompson, just before leaving for Cincinnat!, sald the Ohio democrats intend to make a united and determined effort to nom- inate Thurman because they believe he fs the strongest man in the party. Mr. Thompson said he was confident that Thurman could beat Garfield in Ohio at the October election, and that would determine the presidential election in advance in favor of the democrats. That was reason enough, he thought, for the nomination of the Ohio Senator. Mr. Thompson said it was extreme folly for the democrats to talk of abap- doning Ohio to the republicans; that a wise politician never yields any part of his line of contest; that if the democrats make no con- test In Obto Garfield will carry {t by an over- whelming majority, and that it will give him preige that will carry him tnto the presidency November. “We must make a fight in Ohto,” concluded Mr. Thompson, ‘and Thurman {s the only man we've got who can certainly beat Gar- fied in his own state.” HENDRICKS’ HOPE. Senators McDonald and Voorhees and all the Indiana members of the House are at Clacinnatt laboring for the nomination of Hendricks, but It 4s a forlorn hope. The position taken by the Hendricks men is that Indiana fs essential to democratic success, and that Hendricks can more surely Carry it than any other man. Ot Tate, however, Senator McDonald has taken front rank as the Indiana candidate. It 1s urged in his favor that he can as certainly carry Indl- ana as Hendricks, and that he would be much stronger in New York and the east because of his hard-money record. In fact, if the candt- date shall be taken from the west, Senator Mc- Donald ts likely to be the man. MR. TILDEN’S POSITION. Conflicting rumors as to Tilden’s intentions are still flying about, and while the prevatling impression seems to be that he will try to cap- ture the nomination, the weight of evidence indicates his withdrawal. Several prominent democratic Congressmen who visited New York City to see Tilden but a few ble ie) informed a Sak reporter before they st for Cincin- nati that he had positively determined not to permit his name to be presented to the con- vention; that he realized the bitter opposition to him all through the south, and even in his own state, and preferred to with. draw rather than risk a defeat before the con- vention. One of these Congressmen—and no Man stands higher in his party—said that Til- den earnestly desired the success of his party, and realized that he was not its stongest candi- date. Ex-Senator Barnum, chairman of the national democratic committee, said while in Washington last Tuesday, that Tilden would not be a candidate. It is never safe, however, some anti-Tilden men say, to guage Tilden’s actions by bis words, and there 1s no telling whet he may do. Among the many delegates who passed through Washington it was almost impossible to finda Tilden man. The Virginia delegation said unhesitatingly that Tilden could uot carry their state if nominated. JUDGE FIELD. Comparatively few of the delegates to Cincin- nati Who have been tn Washington were sup- porters of Judge Fieid. He had some friends among the Virginia delegation, but all of them, with two or three exceptions, declared that Seymour was their first choice. The movement in behalf of Field was very seriously damaged by the assertion of Senator Farley and Repre- sentative Berry, of California, that the Ju could not carry that state. Wield’s frien based their main argument upon hig ability to carry all the Pacific states, VARIOUS VIEWS OF PROMINENT DEMOCRATS. ‘The Hon. Levi P. Maish, ex-member of Con- gress from Pennsylvania, thinks that both Til- den and Seymour are out of the fight. Seymour, he thinks, cannot carry New York, and certainly Bot Pennsylvania. Mr. Malsh thinks Randal: may stand some chance in a break up, and that the probabilities will be between Randall, Thur- man, McDonald and Field. He 1s inclined to think bogies is stronger than he 1s generally supposed to Representative Blount is not Ge eed to be very communicative. He was willing to say, however, that “we will elect the nominee, who: ever he ts.” He thinks the nomination of Gar- field one of the weakest that could have been made; but, unlike many democratic prophets, oo that of Grant would have been ker.

The Threatened Invasion of Mexico. GEN, M’DOWBLL ORDERED TO PI IT. The subject of an invasion of MéXico by men organizéd in Southern Arizona was discussed at the Cabinet meeting yesterday afternoon. To- doy the following h was sent to General McDowell, comman< on the Pacific Coast. “By direction of the ident the command- ing general, military division of the Pacific, is authorized ‘to. prevent any invasion of the treaty of New Mexico by armed forces, in viola- tion of the neutrality laws. ALEXANDER RaMSEY, Secretary of War.” LOOKING AFTER THE RAIDERS, General McDowell has forwarded to the War department telegraphic correspondence in re- gard to the proposed raid on Sonora from Arl- zona. Col. Martin, adjutant general department Arizona, on the 15th tek iphed as follows to Col. Carr at Tucson: “If there 1s sufficient proof to satisfy you that an armed invasion of Mex- ico 1s contemplated and betng organized on our soil you will immediately take steps to prevent such a viojation of our neutrality laws and ar- rest and detain the parties concerned for the future action of the government.” To this dis- pateh Col Carr replied the same day: "I have just had a consultation with the Mexican consul, who says that “Marquez is to-night at or near Calanoias; that he was near theéfexican ne south of there with about 35 men, and with what he can get to-night will have 40 to 50 men, with whom he will move jeisurely to the eastward along the line. I will send Capt. Rafferty, with his company, now in the “Dragoon mountains,” to intercept and Secure the band. Senor Stereto will furnish Scouts and guides, so that we may be informed of the movements of the band, and I have good hopes that we may capture them entire, and thus put an end to this source of anxiety to our sister menoulice Owing to®lack of authority in the premises Gen. McDowell directed that these operations cease until he was authorized by the President togoahead. That authority was contained in es dispatch sent from here to-day as given ve, ee Action Taken Upon Gen, Mlatch’s Request, It was stated in TRZ spar yesterday that at the Cabinet Teeting it was decided that the State gepartment should ask permission for United States troops to follow Victoria into Mexico. In his dispatch asking permission to Ttollow Victoria’s band General Hatch sald: “The great bulk of the Indians have gone into Mexico and are now inthe mountains near DeHapnes. They are merely there with their Sick and wounded, and as soon as recuperated will return. Itis important that they shouid be followed and allowed no rest. I can obtain the consent of the state of Chihuahua to pur- suethem., Will take with me fresh troops, leaving Morrow with troops to strike should [I vurn them back. Can anything be done to re- move the order recently issued prohibiting us Ircm crossing the line?” ‘The following dispatch wassent to-day: BEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, WASHINGTON, June 19.

She has been fuily provisioned and her crew are ready to embark. Lieut. Duane, who was detached from the northwest to re- main at the station which it was proposed to establish as near as possible to the North Pole, bas applied for a_ leave of absence, and if it 1s granted he will accompany the expedition in a civil capacity. A number of the enlisted men who accompa- nied the leutenant from the frontier have ap- pled for discharges trom the army, so that they mav be able to go with the vessel also. The Guinare is a British vessel, and it {s understood that she cannot carry the American flag on that account. The expedition {s to be a personal en- terprise of Capt. Howgate and all the expense will be defrayed by that gentleman. Political Notes. Senator Bayard, according to the New York Express, has “announced to his friends that un- der no circumstances would he allow his name to go before the convention it Horatio Seymour were a candidate.” w Queries the Springfield Republican: “Suppose dames G. Blaine of Maine should let the state take care of Itself, so to speak, this year?” The result would probably be that Matne would let Mr. Blaine take care of himself, so to speak, a little further along. And the same remark will apply to New York, should the same query be propounded in regard to her favorite son. Ihave no second choice. Hancock is a good man, but he is not the right man. Bayard can carry New York. As to Thurman or Hendricks, no, ho—nelther of them. Bayard is the man of all, and I shall stand by him as long as it will Go ys good to give him My vote.—[David A. “The defeat of Grant at Chicago was a blun- der, and the nomination of General Garfield does not improve with time,” 1s the way it strikes Colonel Forney, after sleeping over the matter for a week or ten days.

Since the supreme court of Indiana has decided an election must be held In that state in October there is less objection to putting Ohto on the ticket as an October state; as it is believed that Indiana would offsett a republican victory in Ohio, It has certainly strengthened Payne's candidacy either for the first or second place on the ticket, ‘The Conference at Columbus last night gave Thurman some support, but outside of Ohio and West Virginia he is not seriously spoken of. Eastern men object to Thurman's financial record, and western men make that objection to Bayard. Doubts about Mr. Tilden’s Position. It 18 not finally decided whether Tilden’s name will go before the convention or not. His representatives here are very cautious as to his intentions, but intimate that if his name is not resented he will name the candidate, and that Payne, of Ohio, will be the man. Even the rumor of this situation gives the Payne canvass a decided impetus, Speaker Randall’s Position. Speaker Randall's friends here are most em- pkatic in declaring that he is not a candidate; quietude had refuted the fears expressed re- arding the maintenance of order. Why shrink, e asked, from amnestying a few hundred more. ‘The government could be sure, he said, of three hundred and twenty adherents in _the chamber of deputies. In this state of things it would be incomprehensible for the senate to impede the measure. The Wimbledon Team. QvEREC, June 19.—The Wimbledon team sal to-day by the steamer Polynesian.
