CONCRESSIONAL. SENATE. Special Dispatch to Tun Bax. N Anoror, BEay HB; 1 e d . Mr. Wallace reported with amend- ments the bill making an_sppropria- tion for the postoffice department, and gave notice that ho would call it up to-day. Senator Hill resumed his remarks on the Kellogg-Spofford resolution. Heeaid he proposed to resd and tranelate a portion of the cipher tele- grams passing_between Kellogg at |. Washington and his friends in New Orleans, for the purpose of showing the senate a portion of the evidence wpon which the charge of bribery is based. The mere reading of these telograms, in the light of evidence, puts beyond a question the fact that Tho sitting member placed bis st in holding his seat upon military array. All the evidence of bribery shows that from the time the senate determined to take the case up, down to June, 1879, was in constant com- manication with his friends in New Orleans for the express purpose of secing that members of the legislature did not confess that_they had been bribed. The resson for this is plain, as many of the members had begun to confess. That had to be stopped. Hill called attention to the fre- quent declarations on the part of the sitting member that his safety In his seat depended on the fidelity of these members. Senator Hill inter- preted the telegrams that passed be- tween Kellogg and his friends, allud- ing to those aiready deciphered by the who preceded him. He then rehearsed the old democratic story of alleged frauds by the returaing board, and in closing thia part of his speech ho said: But the association of the doctrine that you can't go behind the returns succeeded in making a president, and now the same principle is brought to bear on the senatorship. If it is true that a democratic senate 18 going to decide that_there was Do fraud lu Louisiana, then the members had bet- ter go down on their knees to Madi- son Wells, Cassanave & Co. and con- Fous that they have slandered them.

NEw Yomx, May 13—1a. m. —A very heavy glut is likely to ocour in the Japan tea market in consequence of increated import of about ten mil- Jion pounds during the present year over that of last year. The crop of Japan tess has been increased every year in consequence of the demand made for them in the United States. During the year 1876-7, the exports from Japan to the United States were 22,807,280 pounds. Last year these expurty wero incrossed to 25,302,675 pounds and yesterday advices were re- ceived that there will be exported this season_34,555,032 pounds. This in- creased exportation, with the stock on hand, is likely to make the quantity of Japaneso tess, in this city, about 45,000,000 pounds, which is far more than will be required for'consumption, and has already weakened the market, with a prospect of lower prices. The result will bo that the consumer will stand & chance of having good tea this year at a far lower price than has been known for some time past. Lexington Races. Bpocial dispatch to Tux Brx.

Republican Leaders at the Cap- ital Urge the Overthrow of Both Grant and Blaine. Proceedings of Various State Conventions. Party Harmony. Bpecial Dispatch to The Bee. Cuicago, May 12—4 p. m.—The Journal's Washington special says: The polltical situation in Illinois has been the subject of several confer- ences between the republican leaders whoare not fully committed to either Grant or Blaine, and the feeling is found to be almost unavimous that there must be a stop put to the bitter wranglings which have characterized the canvass during the past month. While no definite con- clusion as to public action has been reached, the sentiment prevails that the party must for its own safety push both Grant and Blaine aside, andtake a new man who can unite all factions. The only question is whether Blaine or Grant managers can be brought to realize this condition of affairs, or whether they will persist in running the party to defeat and ruin. The situation is now looked upon as very grave, and the most serfous appre- hensions for the future araentertained unless prompt measures are taken to stop the contests in the party. ‘West Virginia Republicaas.

Bpecial Dipatch to The Bee. WhaeeLiNa, W. Va., May 13—1 a. m.—The conventicn reassembled at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The state central committee tendered thetr resignation, on which action was post- poned. The report of the committes on credentials showed about two hun- drxd _delegates present, with five counties unrepresented. Chestor 8. Hubbard was made permanent chair- man, and addressed the convention briefly. The mention of Blalne's name caused considerable enthusiasm. The committee on resolations report- ed, pledging anew the support of the republicans of the state to the prin- ciples of the patty, affirming this to be a nation snd not a confusion of states; favoring_an_interchangeable currency of gold, silver and paper, dollar for dollar; in_favor of the avowed protective tariff; universally endorsing tae administration of Presi- dent Hayes, and closing with a reso- lution instructing the delegates at large to vote for Blaine. This last resolution awakened great opposition, and was bitterly opposed, and a sub- stitute to the resolution was offered that all delegates be instructed. This caused a heated discussion, the Blatne ‘men being_uncomyromising in their determination to_ enforce the unit rule, while the Sherman and Grant men persisted in their right to repre- sentation. The convention was warned to beware of the fate of New York aud Pennsylvania, and the proceed- ings were almost brought to & stand- still by confusion. A substitute was finally adopted followed by the adop- tlon of the resolutions as a whole. The incidental mention of Grant’s Dame was received with cheers. Pend- ing the election of delegates to Chi- cago, the convention, at 6 o’clock, took a recesy. The convention reassembled at 8 o'clock p. m. in the court house.
