The Regency are sending men all round the Southern delegations to see what bargains they can make, and there is also a grand railroad operation at Stake. Richmond does not care a fig for Douglas, but he ‘does for the Contra) Raflroad, in which be bas a deep inte- rest. He is negociating with Mr. Stewart, of Michigan, ‘who represents the CentraRailroad of that State, and with ‘the representatives of the Central Dfinois, and offers to ‘sell them his delegation for Douglas if they will givea monopoly of the railroad business to the New York Cen- tra}, and take all they ‘can away from the Erte Railroad, ‘When this bargain and sale is concluded the ‘New York delegation will perhaps come to@ vote.
