Excitement and‘Tumult Among the Grain Dealers. REPORTED FAILURES. Large “Margins” Called In by In- terested Parties. Ountcago, August 20, 1872. J. B. Lyon & Oo., who were originators and principal managers of the wheat corner, have ailed. The names of some twenty other indi- viduals and firms are reported as unable to meet their obligations; but many of these, it is asserted y parties in a position to know, will be able to meet all liabilities as soon as they can get the mat- ters in shape, hence an injustice might be done to solvent parties by publishing the list. At least twelve or fifteen firms have refused or been unable to put up margins, or so far as to settle difer- ences; but matters are still tn such confusion that It is diMoult to ascertain positively who these par- ties are. A prominent operator who has been, during the greater part of the time since the corner was estab- lished, & constant seller of wheat, yesterday after- noon called for margins to the amount of $100,000 from parties to wkom he had sold. The total amount put up on the call was only $2,500, The losses of this operator will aggregate not less than $100,000, and this notwithstanding the fact that he was on the other side from the managers of the corner, and but for this failure to meet their obligations ‘would have been largely ahead. There fs an exceedingly bitter feeling among many members of the Bourd of Trade at the manner in which the Ring have conducted their business, as it {s alleged that they drew many un- panne ing brokers to @ financial ruin by inducing them to buy grain for them, representing, even after prices had dropped twenty-five cents per bushel, that they were still able and determined to carry the corner through the month and had allowed the prices to a purposely, A leading and thoroughly reliable merchant asserts that one leading member of the Ring came to him this malas and assured him that he had not falied nor was likely to, and wanted him to buy 100,000 bushels of wheat for them to-day, He at first consented, but Nctnkstleseelt reconsidered the matter and refused, thereby saving himself $10,000, Among the parties positively stated to have fatled is Hugh Maher, whose recent irregularities in connection with the fowa elevator have been’ the subject of much comment. @ market this aiternoon on open board showed mnsiderabie firmness, and quite a number of buy- ers made their appearance. Prices advanced 2 43 cents; closed steady at $1 15 cash or seller August and $1 14 seller September, The receipts were again large to-day, 570 cars being inspected, THE WEATHER.

A terrific hurricane swept over a portion of the town of Wawarsing on Friday, between three and four o'clock P. M., taking a narrow strip near Lack- awack, It mowed down all before it, trees, fences and buildings being taken up and carried awaylike feathers. The barn of W. Il. Wager was struck and completely demolished. Three boys a shelter from the storm were in it at the time, and one named John Cove was killed by the falling ce He was heard to say, “Iam hurt,” and died me- diately. The othor lads escaped uninjured. Other very extensive damage was done, varns and out- houses being blown over and many tons of hay and in were destroyed. The typhoon passed so near ‘ager’s house that a ag tree shading it was twisted from Its roots and carried a considerable distance.

Gubernatorial Candidates---The Three Ex’s, Morgan, Opdyke and Dix. General Dix Formally With- ; draws His Name. Candidates for Lieutenant Governor and Congressman at Large. Urica, N. Y., August 20, 1872, Utica fs crowded to-night. From all parts of the State radical republican delegates havo arrived, to be present at the Convention to-morrow, which will nominate candidates for State oMicers, These are:—First, Governor and Lieutenant Governor; Congressman at large, Canal Commissioner, State Prison Inspector and a Presidential electoral ticket for the State. The excitement over the Guberna- torial @ontest is simply immense—not as regards any possible conflict on a choice, for conflict there will be none, but from the doubt which Prevails as to who ts the coming man. If the knowing ones were but just to reveal and come out with the fact who the preordained is, it would put an end to all the bothering calculations on which all not in the secret are intent. Tho lower floors of the political headquarters—Baggs’ Hotel—are jammed with delogates, divided into knots and crowds, discussing the all-absorbing problem whether the choice of leaders of the Con- vention shall be ex-Governor Morgan, ex-Mayor Opdyke or ex-Secretary of the Treasury General Dix. There are Ex’s enough to pick and choose from. Go from knot to knot of these political wiseacres and you retire from each with @ Tantalus-like confusion of ideas as to which of the three named candidates is the favorite; for, strange to say, there appears to pe NO FAVORITE AMONG THEM, but asort of triple “Hobson's choicé.” Phat fs, if they don’t get Morgan, who, perhaps, has the most backers, they will be content with Opdyke, and in the event of neither of these being the choice of the leadera after the caucus had among them, they will put up with Dix. Now as to the popularity of each of these with the rank and file, it runs thus:— Admitting the undertow that renders a decidedly expressed opinion in favor of any of them a dan- erous experiment for the federal office-holders, ‘either present or prospective, and who, in fact, compose the majority of the delegations,” in the first place, Morgan is the most Pop ties, because he appears to be the favorite with the leaders. His sid backer is Thurlow Weed, who fs still as eager ‘0 breast the political billows as ever. Cwsar was the billows of the ‘Tiber; but Thurlow has a SECOND CHOICE IN GENERAL DIX, Now, as against his first choice, Morgan, it is secretly asserted that in the event of his nomina- tion and election Thurlow will be the power be- hind the throne, and that one will go back again to the Ce ge of the old Albnay Regency, and that all the tederal patronage throughout the State, and your Custom House especially, would be at his disposal. This patronage ts a terrible stumbling block, and is also the prize to be won in the gubernatorial race, and all who have anofiice to win or one to lose Keep that main chance in view when advocating or opposing the pretensions of any candidate. Roscoe Conkling, however, is secretly adverse to Morgan, knowing full well, as he does, that Morgan woud be able to compensate himself for all the jealousies and disappointments he has felt in OONKLING’S SUPREMACY a8 @ dispenser of patronage for the last tew years. ‘There is, therefore, strong, but very unostentatious opposition to Morgan’s nomination; but, as I said before, or insinuated, he left his name with his own consent to be presented to the Convention, and that body will ‘crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, where thrift ee AD fawning." At this moment it !s said that Thurlow and those whom he deigns to take into his counsel has telegraphed to Morgan to know his views. Now, what should be Morgan’s objection? It is said to be this, that as Chairman of the Republican General Committee he has the handling of large amounts of election funds, and in the event of his accepting @ nomination it might be charged against him that from these he would contribute largely to ensure his own success. So much for Morgan. AS TO DIX, these straight-out radicals don’t want him—an old- time democrat, and now at best but a liberal re- publican—and it would be like going into the camp of the enemy to get» leader. One thing fs certain, the New York or Brooklyn delegation won't have him, while the vacillating county delegations have not the backbone to stand for him, though he would, perter®, be the most acceptable of the three to them, He has some persons on the New York delegation like John H. Anthon, but nothing like enough to sustain a motion in his favor. Now, as to Opdyke. He stands, perhaps, highest of all with the city delegation—that is, with the Custom louse and the reyenne cliques, both on your side and the other side of the river. He ia a true Fenton in the manner of his suave dealing with eS for onice, and to-day Tom Mur- phy’s files in the Custom House would show more rejected applications for office signed by him for his friend this and his gooa republican friend that, than any score of men sup- posed to have equal influence in that direction. Surely if he was Governor he would remember all those old friends of his, Judge Robertson 1s out of the race; he can lay the flatter- ing unction to his soul that he is of too much im- Peat a to the party in the Senate to remove him lor the present, even to. make hii Governor. FOR LIEUTENANT GOVBRNOR, The only person at all talked about is A. RB. Cor- nell. Ifhe should get the nomination it will be as acitizen of Livingston county, he resigning Sur- veyor of the Port. FOR CONGRESSMAN AT LANGE Lyman Tremain, it is understood. will be unani- mously nominated. Roscoe Conkling 13 on the fence, That is, he is sick, which means too indis- pod to take any active part one way or the other In the contest which wages so near his own door, and in which, too, he is so largely interested, EXCITEMENT INCREASES WITH FRESH ARRIVALS. Tom Murphy, Opdyke, Barlow, General Arthur, John H. Anthon, Charles ncer, Judge Robertson, Postmaster Jones and the full New York and Brook- lyn delegation are all present, agi now de- pends upon Morgan's reply to Thurlow Weed, whether he will accept the nomination. H. B, Cladin, who was favorauly spoken of, has positively declined, I might go on interminably giving you :» moves on the political chessboard here, but that no positive result would or could be reached thereby. TLE LATEST RUMOR in the lobby is that Morgan has deciined, preferring to serve tue party in his present position of Chair- man of the Repuliican National Committee, A dinner caucus 1s now being held at Senator Conk- Hag’s, at which Opdyke, Cornell, Arthur and others are present. Thurlow Weed is now pressing bard for Dix, but meets with little encouragement. Judge Robertson i3 very popular, and moves among the masses, chatting freely and pleasanti upon his prospects whenever the subject is broached. A. H. Wheeler ia. also spoken of, put, it wonld appear, only to kill time; for, as 1 said be- fore, the Convention will Dominate the man whom the powers thatbe may present to-morrow. There has not been off single caucus held by any delega- tion. Indeed, they are allat sea, helplessly drut- ing about, waiting to be towed ashore to-morrow by the leaders and then to start for home. S@far aa the delegates are concerned in having an inde- pendent voice and urging the claims of a candidate of their choice, it will be the greatest farce of a convention that was ever held in the State. General Dix Withdraws. Utica, August 20—Midnight. Affairs political stand here pow as follaws:—Gen eral Dix has written a letter withdrawing bis name from the canvass. That disposes of him, Senator Morgan has made no sign sa yet, and should his delegation not receive a formal 4 name will be presented to the Convention and he be unanimously nominated. Should he, however, deciime at the last moment the contest wiil be nar- rowed down as between State Senator Robertson and ex-Mayor Cae The Robertson stock has gone up wonderiully to-night, and after all there may be some warm work for the Convention to- morrow, UNION SOLDERS’ CONVENTION. —_—_+_——. Uri0a, N. ¥., Augast 20, 1872, The Soldiers’ Convention met in the Utica Opera House ateight P.M. On motion Colonel William Bullard, of New York, was chogen temporary chair- man. On taking the chair Colonel Bullard ad- dressed the Convention at some length, thanking the Convention for the hanor conferred upon him, end declared it to be the duty of the soldiers of que Union gymr to gland by thelr 9) leclination his | Commander, and to never agree to shake hands with the rebels over the chasm aot they were willing to be loyal, He then referred to the disadection in the republican party, and said there was no such disaffection among the soldiers. The address was received with much enthusiasm, and when the namo of General Grant was men- tioned the entire Convention rose to its feet and seheered lustily. Colonel A. D, Ketchum and Colone, Ls Dd.

Resolved, That we have no sympathy with that politi- cal party Which hag among its most caruest supporters the Tammany democracy and the Ku Klux Klan; that we discover, in the present remarkable alliance between the enemies of republican institutions and the followers of Horaco Greeley an attempt to wrest the government from the control of men of tried and undobted loyalty. Resolved, That we heartily approve of the nominces of the republican party for President and Vico President of the United States, and pledge to them our most earnest support. | We believe that the man who led us to victory aud the one who watched over us from his place as chalr- man of the Senate Military Committee and so. carefully guarded our interests, are the bost men to rely on for jus- tice to our maimed comrades and the widows an orphans of those. who sacrificed ves in our late r the preservation of the Unton.

General Stewart I. Woodford was then intro- duced to the Convention, and was re- ceived with three hearty cheers. General WvopForD addressed the Convention. He sala that on this occasion the soldiers ought to be here and nowhere else. As for the reconciliation 80 much spoken of, he sald the soldiers of the Union wanted it and would struggle for it, but they wanted it based on justice, so that It might be last- ing. He said the honor of their old commander had been assailed, and then proceeded to speak of the character of General Grant, alluding to a number of instances of his honor and unselfishness—his honorable action in returning to General Sherman his protest against his (Grant’s) action, and his ac- knowledgment to Thomas after he had moved out from Nashville that he (Thomas) was right and he (Grant) wags wrong. The speaker then proceeded to speak of the duty of the soldiers, and declared that they would now again fight it out on the ling they bad adopted.

Delafield Smith was then called on and ad- dressed the Convention at some length, chtefly on the recognition due the soldiers who fought for the perpetuation of the Union. He said that they were now called on to forget the great battles of the re- bellion, and said, moreover, that whencver they were forgotten then Horace Greeley would be elected President and not till then, The Convention then adjourned, SRNATOR CONKLING SERENADED.

Tho Republican State Nominating Convention. Arrival of the Delegates—The Momuinations To Be Made—The Two Corrupt Rings ashi Their Can- didates for Governor—Negro Dylegates Offering Their Votes tor Mougy— Chamberlain the Probable’ * \ Conumnra, 5. O., Anguse 20, 1872, Tho city {6 crowded with delegates to thig Repub- lioan State Nominating Convention, which méets to-morrow in the Senate chamber of the new stase House. The oMcers to be nominated are Goveruor,: Licutenant Governor, Seoretary of State, Treasurer, Comptroller General, Attorney General, Superin- tendent of Education, Congressman at Large and seven electors for President and Vice President of the United Statos, A large majority of the dele- gates are negroes, and nearly every white republl- can in South Carolina is presont. It was generally believed that the negroes desired some sort of ref- ormation in the State government; but to-day I find that nearly every delegate camo here aga mater of speculation to vote for the highest bidder, This: is done openly, without any attempt whatever to hide their villany, and it was not uncommon to’ hear negroes ask each other on the streets who was offering the most money. The main interest of the Convention centres on the nomination for Governor, for whioh the two prominent candidates are Attornoy General Chamberlain and Speaker’ Moses, of the House of Representatives, The former is a candidate of THE NEW YORK PINANOIAL RING, that has swindled the State over ten millions of” dollars, and the latter is a candidate of the Legisia+ tive corruptionists and Bluo Ridgo Railroad ring. Ip the event of the nomination of elthor of these can- didates the white people see no rolief from the fraudutent debt and heavy taxation by which they are now encumbered, and they recognizé in the * election of either a continuation of the old ring Operations under a new name, Chamberlain is now ® member of the Financial Board, and in common with Scott and the Treas- urer is equally responsible for the over issue, of bonds, and Moses is regarded as stilt more infamously concerned in the swindles tham Chamberlain. It 1s stated that the administration at Washington favors a reform ticket, which woul@ be successful in overthrowing the thieving rigg that now has control of the State, but this is an im- possibility, as the ring spend their money tavis! and will still control the State. Another feature that sults are about to be instituted against Scott and others in the courts here, and if some of the ring are not in power it is more than probable they will terminate their carcers in the State Pent- tentiary, * GENERAL GRANT, itis said, desired the nomination either of Judge Orr, United States Distrigt Attorney Corbin or Reuben Tomlinson, all of whom are republicans of ood standing, who possess tho confidence of he taxpayers of the State; but the ring has proved too poworful, and to-night itis confidently asserted that Chamberlain will be the nominee. Jt is sible that the supporters of the defeated candidate may bolt the nomination and by forming a coalition with the white people and the liberal republicans nominate a good State ticket with a prospect of carrying the State on the 19th of October. In such @ contingency it would not sur- pe anybody if South Carolina would go for Gree- ley in November. With the administration ticket now almost certain to be nominated this State will be a heavy load for General Grant in tho Presiden- tial canvass. Comptroller General Neagle, who has. amassed immense wealth hore, furnishes the funds, for the Chamberlain party, while John J. Patterson, of Pennsylvania, President of tne Blue Ridge Rail- road, {8 Said to be paying out liberally for Moses, I do not beltove there ever was witnessed such SHAMELBSS AND BAREFACED CORRUPTION as is openly practised here by the non-taxpayers upon the taxpaying portion of the community, Senator Sawyer arrived here to-day, fresh from 1! Cabinet at Washington, and I learn to-night that he represents the President as condemning @ bolt in any consideration, even for the sake of reform, Iraccordance with this advice a consolidation uj Chamberlain by the hitherto reform republican elements is feared. The whites are sadly dl pointed, as piey had been led to hope by Orr, Cor! and others, whb claim to represent the administra- tion, that Grant had determined to rid the State of the corrupt Scott-Chamberlain-Kempton ring. OHIO. An Immense Gathering of Grant Repub- licans—Speeches by Governor Noyes and Others—Opening of the Campaign om the Western Reserve. CLEVELAND, August 20, 1873. By arrangement of the Republican Central Com» mittee the campaign in Ohio opened at several of - the most important points to-day. The meeting _ held in this city to-night was a monster affair. Governor E. F. Noyes was the principal speaker, He’ spoke for nearly two hours, touching upon ail the important issues of the day. Ho was listened to with the closest attention, and his arguments were apparently received with the greatest favor by all parties. While he was speaking the Grant Boys in Blae, the Tanners and other organizations of republicans marched into the square where the speaking was going on, with torches, transparencies and banners, to the number of 2,000, Although several of the wards were not organized, the lowest estimate of the number at the meeting was 15,000, and the enthusiasin for Grant and Wilson was greater than has ever been known tn this city at 30 early a day in any Presidential campaign. Speeches were als@ made by James M, Root, Mr. Hart and J. C. Lee. Governor Noyes was serenaded at his hotel the Grant Boys in Blue, and in response to & made:a few remarks, in which he predicted Ohia would.give 40,000 majority for Grant. ‘The commencement of the Grant camp: orene * on the Western Resorve in the most auspicious ang. enthusiastic manner.
