LYNDONVILLE, Vt., June 7, 1876, At six o'clock this morning the Emperor began his inspection of the city of Montreal, and before breakfast he had visited five of the principal churches of the city. The Episcopal Cathedral im- pressed His Majesty most favorably by the beauty of its architecture. The Catholic Cathedral of Notre Dame he found defective in structure and not in keeping with the highest demands of art. His Majesty was well pleased with the numerous splendid public buildings of which Montreal boasts‘ and which gives it a truly metropolitan air. Visits were also made by the imperial party to the Univer- sity, the Medical School, the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb and several minor institutions, His Majesty alsodrove to Montreal Mountain, where a splendid view of the city was obtained. There was very little time to visit the various points of in- terest. Victoria Bridge we saw from the river. Among the callers was the Mayor of the city, who left his card for the Emperor. At three P. M. the imperial party left for Lowell by the Montreal and Boston Air Line. When the train arrived at Richford a special engineer was attached to the im- perial cars by the direction of Manager Gustave Leve, in order to allow their Majesties to arrive at Lake Memphremagog in time to take a sail on its ‘waters and enjoy its magnificent scenery. When the special arrived there were a large number of people assembied to greet their Majesties, who went to the veranda of the hotel to get a good view of the lake. His Majesty, accompanied by Vice Admiral Lamane, went out on the lake ina small rowboat. The Visconde De Bom Retiro followed in another, ‘The expedition ended happily with the return of all the party, a result that, owing to the ricketty na- ture of the boats, did not appear quite certain at the starting out. His Majesty enjoyed very much his trip on the lake, which he pronounced very beantiful. THE LOWELL FACTORIES. To-morrow will be devoted to visiting the manu- facturies of Lowell, where we will arrive at seven A.M. Inthe evening His Majesty continues his journey to Boston, where he will remain for five days visiting the institutions of that city. THE CENTENNIAL HYMN, His Majesty has received a telegram imforming him that the hymn composed by Carlos Gomez, the Brazilian composer, in honor of the Centennial of the American Republic, at His Majesty's suggestion, is on its way, having been sent by the French mail steamer that left Havre on the dd of June. It will be handed to Gilmore as soon as it arrives, in order that it may be played in Philadeiphia on the Fourth of July. His Majesty was delighted at the reception of this news, as on account of the shortness of the notice it was not certain that Sefior Gomez could for- ward his composition in time for the Fourth, CUBA, COMMERCIAL FAILURE IN HAVANA, Havasa, Juno 7, 1876. ‘Mosers.

PREPARING FOR THE CONVENTION TO-DAT—A STRONG SOFT MONEY SENTIMENT—AN Ux- PLEDGED DELEGATION PROBABLE—PROBABLE STATE CANDIDATES, Cuanixston, June 7, 1876, Just here on the ground upon the eve of the assem: bling of the State Convention there is little to justify the apprebension entertained in political circles that ‘West Virginia will pronounce for rag money and Obio’s The arriving delegates are so thoroughly imbued with loca! issues and eo earnest im the interests of ‘theif respective candidates for the State, exééUtive and J fu} offices that the all-important and overshadow- i onal issue of the finances is for the time being me ht of The people of the entire Kanawha Vi \, i PAYOR OF ISPLATION, those of the grazing districts are rather indifforent on the subject and have no clearly defined views, while the moneyed people ot Wheeling, Charleston, Parkers- burg and the towns generally are opposed to that palicy. Now whether the views and counsels of the ir will prevail in the Convention remains to be n; but I am tnolined to the belief that they will not. ne thing I am assured, and that is, that thero has no packing of the Convention aitempted, nor bas there any concert of action been agreed upon on this subject If the matter comes up in the Convention it will surprise nobody hero, and if the Convention should follow in tho footsteps of Ohio it will occasion the same amount of indifference among the mass of Wost Virginians. The polls are un- questionably in favor of “more money” by whatever means, and at whatever sacrifices it is ovtained, This can be attributed to two main causes, the Orat of which Is the terrivie depression of business and enterprise resulting on the last fnanciai panic At this delusive theory they clutch as a drowning man ata straw, und so firmly are they impressea with the idea that:the entire governmont is run in the interest of the bondholders alone that they are ripe for the most thorough political revolution, however it can bo accomplished. No better indication of this can bo fur- nished than what promises to be the result of the Con- gressional contest in this, the Third district. Hon. Frank Hereford, the present incumbent, is opposed by two aspirants, both inflationists, while he (Hereford) favors hard money, and notwithstanding that the opposition is divided, Hereford will be beaten. This, too, after a most popular term in Congress, during which, as ebairman of the Committeo on Commerce, he obtained an appropriation of over $300,000 for the improvement of the Kanawha River, which alone, it was thought, would insure his re-election, His opponents for the Bomination, which ts equivalent to an election, are ‘HS. Walker, editor of the Charleston Courier, and John KE. Keuna, a young and very distinguished lawyer of this city, now the Attorney for the Common- wealth. The other cause or reason why tho inflation icy has taken root here ts that the West Virginians ave imbibed SYMPATHETIO HERESIES from tho people of Ohio living just across the river of that name irom them. They attend the meetings of each other's candidates, and, beginning with going to Galopolis to hear George H. Pendleton and Governor ; Allen in the late gubernatorial canvass in Obio, the ‘West Virginians now believe with their neighbors th Unele Billy is the financial Moses who can leaa them out of the bondage of poverty and throngh tho wilder- ness of hard times. That the Convention will take some action in deference to this popular sentiment is fully expected ; and strong 18 the itnpression that it will go beyond this and indorse Allen that Senator Henry G, Davis has written a letter to Attorney Gen- eral Mathews axpreeaiaey the hope that this State will not perpetrate avother biunder like Ohio, and urging him to do all in his power to savo the party. the humiliation aud disaster such action would bring upon it, Attorney General Mathews is ow regarded as tho winning aspirant for the nomina- tion for Governor, and it is possible that he may be = ae the infatontele in % ge if not control them. Ho is opposed, however, by a carpet-bagger from the Mother of States, named P. C. Kaston, now of Mason county, in this State, wh he married well and became a granger through the liberality of his father-in-law. Judge Hoge, of Berkley, and Samuol Price, of Greenbrier, are also spoken of in connection with tho Governorship, and while Math is the favorite, it is impossible to predict what coalition may be made between the grangers and the inflationists, which might defeat him and result in the adoption of a rag-money plat- form. He assures mo this evening that he bas good reason to believe the inflationists will be placated in the Convention by the adoption of a modified resolution urging the REPEAL OF THR RRSUMPTION act, and advocating a return to specie payments by such gradual means as will not conflict with the busi- ness interests ot the country. I have the most implicit confidence in the ability of Mr. Mathows to cope with this question and in hie influence to control it, without allowing it tocome before the Convention in a shape that would seriously affect the interest of the democratic party. The eight candidates for the State offices, and the dispute between the cities of Wheeling and Ubarieston as to which of them shall save the capital, so com- letely absorbs the attention of the delegates that jittle thought has been bestowed upon the delegation to St. Louis, The sentiment b aecidedly in tavor of a Western man for the Presidency, and to stand by Obio and Indiana; but the conviction i# that the No- vomber fight can’t be won without a candidate from the East, who can carry New York, with a strong man like Thurman on the ticket with him. The hard money eloment are strongly in favor of Tharman as the nominee for the Presidency, but if wise counsels prevail the delegation will be elected without regard to preferences, and, following the example of Virginia, ‘will be sent to St. Louis. UNCOMMITTED AND UNPLEDGRD. No special favorites sre mentioned, but It is believed that perhaps Senator Henry G. Davis, Senator Carpen- ter, Oliver Byrne, of Monroe, and some other men of experience will be sent as delegates at large. The Con- vention will be held in a wigwam, erected directly in front of the Capitol building, and of suflictent dimen- sions to accommodate the 700 or 800 delegates that will be present. This Convention is the second held since the entranchisement of the ex-Confederates, and the reunion of old soldiers is looked forward to with lively and pleasing anticipations, It will bea “dry” conven- tion, as all the bar rooms in this city havo been closed for some time, The private bottles will be in demand, but there won't be so much spread eagle oratory as thore was at Richmond a week since, Henry G, Davis toliowed his letter and arrived here this evening, when a vigorous effort was made to con- trol the inflation element in th Convention, but it ts believed that this has been partially successful. The majority are unquestionably in favor of soft money and a large number for Bill Allen for the Presidency, but s and in- ise on the adoption of a Gnancial | plank urging tho repeal of the Resumption act and op- posing contraction of the currency. That inevitable candidate for every prominent office in West Virginia, CONGRRSSMA! J. FAULKNER is also here preparing his claims for the Senatorship at the expiration of Davis’ term. Iam creditably in- formed, however, that Mr. Faulkner's aspirations in that direction are fruitless, Senator Davis’ re-elec- tion being almost a foregone conclasion. WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS, THE STATE CONVENTION YESTERDAY—THE DEL- EGATION NEARLY UNANIMOUS FOR TILDEN. Miwavegs, June 7, 1874, The Democratic State Convention met in this city to- day, Hon, Moses M. Strong, of Iowa, presided. Theo- dore Radolt, of La Cro James R. Dgolittie, of Ra- cine; George B.

Of the twenty dele- gates from the State seventeen are for Tilden and three are uncommitted. A resolution instructing the deloga- tion to vote as @ unit was indefinitely postponed after a warm debate, When the time came for the Committee on Resolutions to report, 2 motion was made and adopted to adjourn sine die, otherwise there would have Deen two reporis srbmitted, the majority report being silent on the ney question, and the minority re- port being for soft money.

How the British Army Was Demoralized by Fenian Circles. THE LOYALTY OF IRISH SOLDIERS. The nows of the escape of the Fenian prisoners from Western Australia published yesterday morning erented the most intense excitement among the Irish | people in this city and vicinity. The announcement in the evening papers of Tuesday scemed to be untrue, and as it came from London, some doubts were enter- | ‘ained, but the despatch from San Francisco published tm yesterday morning’s Hxnra.p set all these doubts at rest, and the thing was accepted as an accomplished fact, The statement shat a colonial steamer had been armed and sent tn pursuit of the American whaler, which had taken the fugitives on board, created no small sarprise, though the preva‘ling belief was that the Catalpa was well on her way and beyoud all danger of boing overtaken at the timo the Georgette started in pursuit. The fact that an English ship was sent ont with orders to overhaul an American veesel on the high seas was louked upon as a very high handea piece of business, and showing smal) consideration on the part of British officials for the rights of American citizens, In order to ascertain whether any violation of international Jaw had been committed by tho Ca- talpa in taking the refugees on board, a HeRazp re- Porter yesterday visited the gentleman who furnished the information rogarding the escape which was pub- lished in yesterday's Hexaxp, but who wishes his namo to be withheld for the present, and the following state, ment was obtained from him:. THR STATEMENT OP OXE WHO KNOWS, “1 feel very confident that no breach of international law whatever bas been committed by anyone con- nected with the ship which has taken the escaped prisoners on board. There was a perfect understand- ing with the agent who managed tho whole business on that as on all other essential points, and he is not a man to make a mistake, The men were not to got aboard of any sbip ia port orin British waters, They were to escape in boats from an unfrequented point on the coast, and only get on board an American ship and claim the protection of the American flag on the high seas. The captain of the Catalpa had nothing whatever to do with the rescue of these men, and performed no act that could be twisted into @ violation of international law. Avy one of half a dozen Amorican whalers who called at Western Australian ports within the last six months would have cheertully done the same thing. He simp'y found these men at sea in open boats, and agreed to take them to a certain place for a stipulated sum of money. As the agent knows his’business thoroughly, and is an exceedingly careful man, 1 have no doubt be bas scrupulously adbeted to his programme on these points. Whatever breach of law was committed was of English law by bim and his subordinates ashore, and they are perfectly willing to take the responsibility of that. More than that, they would have been perfectly compeient to cope with any force of police or other colonial officials that'could be gathcred at @ short no- tice before putting out and in case of an en- counter would have made short work of them. Neari; all the men concerned in this affair are vetoran sol- diers, and physically are as stalworth and hardy a set of men as could be found, and the soldior prisot free, would sell their lives dear, If they ‘met the Cataipa they would Rave found anoth and they may be * TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER VESSEL. before they arrive iu America. There is no danger of their being captured at sea; they will take such a route apd adopt such precautions as will completely baffie all the efforts the bak ee government can put forth inst thom. As {said before, the men concerned in business are no tyros; they have all been “through mitl,” and have served a bard apprenticeship. Reroxter—Some people here were under the im- ression that convicts were no longer sent to Austra- fa, and thought that all the Fenian prisoners were confined in England? “Why, the cable despatches published in all tho daily papers only a few days ago ought to have settled that juestion. A speech of Mr. Disrec'iin reply to Mr. Brooks, the member of Parliame: r the city of Dub- lin, gave an explicit statement that she Fenians now in prisoz except tive were in Western Australia Con- victs are sent to Gibraltar, to the Cape of Good Hope and to Western Australia at the option of the home vernment, but be. Pecwinn be sent to any other Tietralian colony. ‘estern Australia is entiroly a convict settlement, and the Director Gon- eral of Pricons i@ the highesl official in the colon: John Boyle O’Retily, at present editor of tne Boston Pilot, was a Fenian convict ond @flected his escape from Western Australia on the Ga- aelle, a New Bedford whaler, six years ago. [tis true, however, that the convict establishment in Western Australia was about to be gives up, in accordance with | the wishes of the colonists, if the escaped pris- oners had remained another month or 60 they would have been sent back to England, where it would bo much more difficult to effect a rescue, So you seo the | rescue was effected just in the nick of time.’” “What courso will be pursued with regard to the prisoners when they arrive here ?”’ asked the reporter, ‘| guppose extensive preparations have been made to give them a public reception?” “Every preparation has beon made to receive them quietly, and tbe Irish people will be a led to to show their appreciation of the sufferings of these men for Ireland by a substantial mone, timonial, Frovhy demonstration, parades and noisy meetings will be sternly discountenanced. These noble ‘tellows. want rest and q ‘aod care will be taken to prevent them from being demoralized by junketings and receptio: and talltalk. We bave got beyond that kind of thing now and tako @ practical view of the situation, We believe in work and not talk, and these soldiers wero all quiet, steady workers.” ter somo further conversation of an uninteresting ire the reporier withdrew and called on an ex- ian -, who bad peculiar facilities previous to bis imprisonment for knowing the oxact state of the revolutionary movement among the Irishmen in the British army during years previous to the trial and conviction of the men who havo lately excaped. “Woat, In your opinion," asked the reporter, ‘‘is the reason which influences successive British ministries to refuse an homers Mad the soldiers after all the leaders have been released?” “It is very easily accounted for,” said the cx-Fenjan organizer. ° ‘THR BRITISM ARMY 18 MORE THAN MALY iRI81, counting men born in England and Scotland of Irish parents, who are Soi da entered on the rolls as English or Scotch, The British officers know very well that when a question arises between ‘reland and Kogland these men will all stand by their own country. They may fight very well in a foreign war, as they have always done in the if there is no question of a fight at home, bat they would desert almost to a man if the Lr#h people were in arms for the ro- covery of their independence, and would go over to any enemy of Kngland that would leod Ireland « helping hand, The same may be said of the British navy. The whole Britis! army and navy could be completely demoralized at such @ crisis by revolution emissaries, and the Eng-"! lish government ts fully to the fact, The high officials of the army have steadily set their faces agairst an amnesty that would include the military prisoners ever since the question of amnesty was mooted, and !t is thought absolately necessary to ly enforce sentences of the military convicts to deter their com- rades from following their example" pe any objection to state what was the strength of the Fenian organization fn the British army before the rising in '671”' “Not at all, 0 English government is now fully Informed of the tacts and it ean do no harm to publish them. The military organi: zation no longer existed as tot ned beer completely shattered by repeated 5 it com] pa wit of ‘4 by wholesale arrests } men, urging them to stay in camp until the Broadwa: | vellous oxehange of hats for greenbacks. their spirit was crushed, and the heads of the movement had been severed by tho the the military organization was crushed before obi was struck. The British govern hence tho severity of the punishment and the stabborn refusal of amnenty.’” “What efiectdo you think will this rescue of the soldier prisoners have on the Britis army?” “1 thiak 1t comes just in time, IP ENGLAND SHOULD GET INTO A WAR fn the Fast it will enabie us to demoralize the British army ip & comparatively short time, But this is a eabject on which | must deciine to give yon any more information. 1am more satistied than [ can tell that a po gem the amnesty, and done so, . waht eally” hope thas be "will ovatinee 4 E — this kind of thing I will put the Irish le om their mettle and bring out the stroog im their character, They are a so{thearted and require to be hearts,” be continaes itp, making us herd with the dregs of English soevety in their convict prisons. and we live in the hope ef pay- img them back with interest some day.” * are the prospects of Fenianism pow ?”’ askod ‘porter. ‘bis Australian news sends Fenian stock up im- mensely. It is the biggest lift we have got for years, but we are going to do nothing hot-headed or impra: dent. Our policy ts one watching, waiting and quietly preparing for an ‘tunity that must come same day. More than tha: nnot tell you. I see by irish papers arrived to-day that Disracli’s refusal of an amnesty bas aroused considerable indignation ip Ireland, and that the most moderate of the national journals write very strongly im denunciation of the lucy of repression. This 18 very good, and I only Boer it will continue, Disraeli is really ood friend of ours, and deserves tho thanks of the revolu- tionary party.” THE WARPATH.
