In pursuance of the adjournment on Monday night a public meeting was held last evening at Willard hall for the purpose of allowing the citizens of this city an opportunity to express their views in regard to the burial place of Gen. Grant, Ex-Representative Dezendorf, of Vir. ginia, presided, and Gen. E, W. Whitaker was chosen secretary. John Pope Hodnett offered ‘@ resolution that a committee be appointed by the chair consisting of a representative from each state in the Union to present to the rela- tives of Gen. Grant the objections to New York as burial place. He said that he wanted the members of the commit ay inted as citi- fens of the different states for the reason that the citizens ofthe District were political eunuchs and furthermore were slaves and wards of the nation. This characterization of the citi- Zens of the District provoked numerous pro- tests from all parts of the hall, and after @ par- Hamentary tangle, in which the chairmen and the meetl ame involved, had been straightened out, they proceeded’ to table the Hodnett resolution and adopted substitute Providing for the appointment of a committee Of five on resolutions. The chair appointed A. M. Clapp, R. J. Beall, H. J. Mohan, Dr. Parcel and A. P. Cunningham as such’ committee, which at once retired. Upon their return they reported, through app, the resolutions, which were adopted, The resolutions state that the citizens of the United States resident in this District deem it their duty to enter a protest against the deter- mination to lay the remains of General Grant in Central or Riverside park, New York city. for the reasons that the place selected is one of recreation and amusement; that the interment, in a municipal park localizes his ashes to a sin- gle state and city; that the Mlustrious name and fame of Ulysses S. Grant belong not to a single clty or state, but to theentire nution, and hence his ashes should sleep on soil over which the United States have exclusive jurisdiction und control; that Congress will probably erect, @sultuble tomb and monument, and this action would be embarrassed, if not defeated, by his interment in any place over which Congress has not exclusive jurisdiction. In conclusion the resulutions urge the appropriateness of a site in the Soldiers’ Home grounds, The chair appointed Gen, Edward F. Beale, Hon. John A.J. Cresswell, ind Gen. $.8. Bu dett as a committee to visit. the Grant ‘am iy and present the resolutions.. None oi these gentlemen were present, but the chairman stated that if ey, could uot serve he would :ip- point others in their pluces, The meeting then adjourned. AS TO THE COMMITTEE. Gen, Beale and ex-Postmaster General Cres- Well, who were appointed at the meeting at Willard hall to visit the Grant family in regard to the Interment in this city, are not in the city. Gen. Burdett, the other member of the committee, said to-day that he would not serve, as he had’already done everything that de: cency and propriety permitted to secure the burial of Gen. Grant in this elty. Ex-Repre- sentative Dezendorf, the chairman of the meet- ing, told a STAR reporter to-day that he had in- formed the gentlemen named of their appoint ment, but had not yet received replies. He thought that he would probably hear this eve- ning as to their intentions, and in the event of thelr not belng able to serve he would appoint ers, ——+__ Dr. Bliss to the District Commissioners. Dr. D. W. Bliss has written a reply to the let- ter of the District Commissioners, in which they criticlved him for suggesting that the Commis- sloners should urge upon the relatives of Gen.

Ricumonn, July 29.—As the hour of noon arrived, delegates, wearied with the work of last night's numerous caucuses, slowly found the seats allotted to them in the theater. The work of last night and this morning has made little change in the situation as it stood twenty- four hours’ . Lee is still far in the lead of all other candidates, and his friends clain an easy vietory. They claim the entire vote of the eighth congressional district, save a few fragments of delegations. They also claim the substantially solid support of the delegations: from Richmond, Norfolk, Alexandria, Lyneh- burg, Petersburg and Danville. They ‘concede No substantial strength to other candidates,and admit weakness only, in the southwest, though even in that section ‘they say they arc as well afuated as are the friends of othe: eaudidates, since all efforts to concentrate the v npon a candidate of its own have si_nally f The effort t+ unite the southwest upon Lieut.

The element which he rep- resents and the delegates irom the heavy negro districts,;who apprebend ignoring of all their claims, ate the sources of threatened trouble which may serlously mar the work of the con- vention. NO NOMINATION PROBABLE TO-DAY. A nomination to-day is improbable. The latfurm will be adopted before the balloting ‘sins. Lee’s opponents are confident that they bey pathos anomination on the first ballot, and believe that a prolonged struggle will de” fyat him. It may be assumed on a certain re- sult that Staples can be nominated if he will yield tothe pressure upon him that is hourly lucreasing.
