Vague rumors of Blaine accessions have been in ¢treulation at the Capitol yesterday and to-day. It 4s claimed that the Arthur boom, which was $0 suc- cessfully inflated last week, commenced to go to pieces on Saturday and has been breaking up rap- idiy since. The talk bas been that Robert Smells has deserted Arthur and will lead the South Caro- Una delegation for Blaine. ‘The same influence which fs Claimed to have brought about this result has been as successful in Louisiana and Arkansas and has given Blaine increased strength in Texas. ‘The other southern delegates are sald to be waver- ing ond will be controiled by the situation as pre- | Seuted at Chicago. ‘They will not stand constantly for Arthur or any one else, and many will not give the President their votes ‘even on the first ballot; DUL the south as a whole will be Influenced by the action of the republican voting states. following the lead of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut, after the first ballot’ ‘CONCERNING VIRGINIA. John 8. Wise, readjuster, says that there can be no compromise between the straightout republican andthe readjuster delegates at Chicago. The one or the other must be acknowledged; there can be no division. If the readjuster delegates are recognized from three to five of the twenty-four will vote for Bialue from the very first without regard to their instructions ‘The rest will vote for Arthur on the first ballot, but after that If it is not pretty evident that he will secure the nomination they will be- come scattered among the field, many going to Logan, “it ine stralghtoute ae adsaitsd they wil an. If the straightouts are °F ailtvote tor Blaine, = John Sherman is again spoken of as the man most likely tocarry the convention ip the event of @ long Might between Arthur and Blaine. It 1s hinted that there has been an ent between Sherman and Blaine by which Sherman and his friends are to support Blaine until after the thind that thme all his forces are to be thrown over to the Ohio statesman. “Members of the Onio delega- ton in the House claim that honest Jobn will get the nomination if the two favorites fail. Some of the Blaine men from decidediy Blaine districts have expressed the same opinion to-day. There is more talk to the effect that Binine has succeeded in combining all the other conflicting elements agalnst Artur, and that the ery will be anyone tobeat him. ‘The lobbies of the House were crowded with Chicago delegates and politicians yesterday after- noon, ‘and a great deal of work was done in the Anterest of the several candidates, ‘The delegations of South Carolina and Virginia were well represented. ‘The Virginia delegation say that they will go for Split up. ‘They speak favorably of Logan as a con- Ungency, and say many of the southern delegates will go over to him after leaving Arthur, if he has any strep; Mr. Snails ‘says that South Carolina will go to Arthur on the first ballot, and after that Logan Will stand well with them. “Is It not true that you are going over to Blaine?” asked Tux Stax, showing him @ dispatch to that effect.

I ‘Speak as a free man.” ‘There are about five of the delegates, Mr. Smalls says, Who are not recipients of government patron- age. All the delegates, he says, will vote together, and all for Arthur at first. ‘The Blaine men are uard at work, and a number of politicians are circulating among the delegates who talk Sherman, Logan or Blaine who are un- derstood to represent particularly the Blaine in- terests. Smaiis says he thinks the straightouts of Virginia will be recognized at the convention and not the readjusters. BLAINE STILL SILE: ‘The Blaine men to-day claim that the southern delegates are all right, and that the Maine leader can certainly get the nomination if he will put forth the proper exertion. They say, however, that up to the present moment he has not com: mitted himself to any effort tosecure the nomination. A member of Con; who called on him a day or two since to upon him the necessity of having some one in the field to look after: the southern delegates, sald to a Stax re- rier yesterday that Blaine would not commit imself: that he said he dia not want the nomina- Uon uniess it came to him spontaneously, and in a way to insure his election.

It ‘Was urged upon him that it would be equally un- worthy if,through indifference to prevent,he should allow the Will of the republican voting’ states to be defeated by this “bastard strength.’ To this he listened, but sald nothing. Yet his friends say that when the proper time comes he will not be inactive. It {s hinted that it would be very proper to make It a stand-off in the south and have the contest to be decided by the “solid states,” A number of letters have been necelved from politicians in the south giving advice and offering to ‘secure a folowing for B.aine, but a8 far as 1s known they have received no response.

The fact’ of a shortage having been discovered would probably not lave been made known to-day if it had pot been for the disappolutment of the clerks who went after their pay. THE INVESTIGATION, When the Levis tlasco and Col. Burnside’s con- nection with it became public Postmaster General Gresham sent for Col. Burnside and inquired how AU was that a man with his salary could speculate ag extensively as It was reported that he had speo- ulated. Col. Burnside replied that he had means independent of bis salary, and also that his wile had means. He denied positively that he had used & cent of the money Kitig to the govern. ment, The Postinaster General then "stated hat” he considered it “his duty to have an Investigation made of Colonel’ Burnside’s accounts. Col. Burnside did not decline, but did not express his desire to have such an investigation made, “This,” the Postmaster General said to-d. “confirmed my suspicion that there was something Wrong.” ‘The investigation began two days ago. It was in progress yesterday aiternoon when the Postmaster General left the department. After the office hours were over the dis;repancy was dis- covered, and the Postmaster General was iminedi- ately informed of It. He gave directions at once to Chie? Inspector Sharp to tike Col.
