There is an immense crowd in atbendance, it be- ing generally believed to be the last day of this momentous convention. The delegates were late in puttng in an sppearance, though none of the delegates scem any worse for yester- day's two long sessions. The Kansas contest was taken up. Tho majority report favors ousting the sitting mem- bers. Debate was limited 20 minutes on each side. The convention voted to accept the majority report on Kansas, sdmitting the ten delcgates to seats, allowing the state but six votes. A delegate has demanded the call of states on the question. The call of the states on the ac- ceptance of tho majority report on the Kaneas question resulted in 476 ayes to 184 nays. The motion was then made that the minority report of the committee on credentials, seating the two contest- ants from West Virginia, be adopted. Carried. The question of the contesting dele- gation from Utsh was then taken up and elicited considerable debate. The minority report in favor of admitting the contestants on place of the sitting ‘members was hnaliy adopted. The report of the committes on rales and the order of bustness was takenup. As previously telegraphed the report recommends that when the vote of the state is cast for a can- didate it cannot be changed on the ballot exospting in the case of a nu- merical error. The report further recommends that ten minutes be al- lowed to the parties representing each candidate for president. A MOVE T0 BALLOT. The monotony of a dull and unin- teresting session of the convention was suddenly and unexpectedly broken up by General Sharpe introducing a res- olution the convention immediately proceed to ballot for president and vice-president, allowing fifteen min- utes forpresentation of exch candidate and ten _minutes for seconding the nomination. An excited debate followed in which Gee. Garfield participated. The con- vention finally rejected the motion to ballot, Sharpe demanding taestates ba called on hismotion. Thereal caltof the states resulted in the defeat of the motion by a vote of 489 to 276. Garfield made a point of order. which was not evstained, that the con” vention must first dispose of the re- of the committes on rules. Gar- field opposed the adoption of the reso- lution until the rules were adopted. The report of the committee on rales being now bafore the convention the cbairman recoguized Garfield, who ic- quired of the minority how much tame they desired for discussion. i New York, would be satisied with Garfield's suggestion if he chose to make one. Gartield moved the adoption of the report of the com- mittee on rules. The majority and minority reperts were then read. Sharpe spoke against the adoption of the unit rule, and said the battle was ready. All had been obtained that can be obtaiued. SCARLET LETTERS. Special to The Bec. Cricaco, IlL, June 5, 4 p. m.— The Journal's Washington specisl The Baltimore San hrs the follo @uspatch from Shicazo: “I have it on S::Aulhvr ty toat three days ego eant addres ed a lstter to Conkling, with the request that it be shown to Don.

On consultation of the Graut leaders it was determined to keep the letter a ee- cret until they bave made a'l the peintsthey can. 1 am also informed that a letter is here from Secretary Sherman, in which he intimates that he remains a candidate, not 80 much in the hope of succeeding himeelf, as in preventing | the nomination of Grant. A DENIAL. Mr. Conkling authorizes a denial of the report in circulation that he has a letter from Grant acking him to con- sult with Logan, and, 1f they deem it proper, to withdraw his nume as a can- didate for nomination. THE PLATFORY. Special Dispatch to The Bee. Ciroaco, June 5, 10 p. m.—Provi ous to the recess this afternoon, the committee on resolutions, through Mr. Picrrepont, presented the resolu- tions, prefaciog by eaying that there was groat diffetence of o but they had bect ablesto-agieg amouy notgistuehnd fiar- mopy convention. The reso- lutions are as follows: The republican_party, in national vention assembled, at the end of <o tweaty years since the federal went was ted toil eubmits to the poople of the Uni States this bri-f report of i's adminis- tration. It suppressed a rebellion which had _armed nearly a million of men to subvert the national author- ity. "ylt rsconstiucted the union of the stetes with freedom instead of slavery 88 its corner stone. It teansformed four million of hu- man beings from the likeness of things to the rank of c'tizens. It relieved congress from the infa— mous work of hunting fugitive slaves and charged it to see that elavery does not. exist. It has ra‘sed the value of our paper currevcy from 38 per cent. to the par of gold. Tthas restored, upon a eolid basis, payment in coin a'l the national obli- gations, and has given us & _curreucy abeolutely geod and lega! and equal in evety part of our extended country. 1t hos lifted the credit of the nation from the poiut where six per cent. bonds sold at 86 to that where four per cent. bonds are esgerly sought at a premiuam. Under its administralion railways have increased from thirty-one thou- sand miles in 1860 to mora than erehty-two thoueand miles in 1879. Our forsign trade has iucreased from $700,000,000 to_$1,150,000,900 in thesame time, and our exports, which were 20,000,600 less than our imports in 1860, were $264,000,000 more than our imports in 18 Without resorting to loans it has, since the war closed, defrayed the or- dinary expenses of tho governmeat, besides the accruing interest on the pubiic debt, aod disbureed annually more than $30,000,030 for eoldiers” pensions. 1t has “paid $888,000,000 of the fublic deb, and by refunding the bal ance at lower rates has reduced the annual interest charge from nea'ly $151,000,000 to le s than §89,000 0C ). All the industries of the country have revived, labor is in demand, wa- ges have increased and throughout the entire country there is evidence of & coming prosperity greater than we have ever enjoyed. Upon this record the republican party asks for thecontinued confidence and support of the people and the con- vention submits for their approv:tthe following statements of THE PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSES which will_continue to guide and in- spireits efforts. 1. We sftitm that the work of the last twenty-one years has been such &3 to commend itself to the favor of the nation, and that the fruits of the cost- ly victories which we have achisved through immeuse difficulties should bo preserved; that the peace regained should be cherished;;that the dissevered union now happily restored should be perpetuated, and that the liberties se- cured to this generation should be transmitted undiminished to future generations; that the order established «nd the credit acquired should never be impaired; the pensions promised should be paid; that the debt s> much reduced should be extinguished by ! the free payment of everydo!'ar there- of; that the reviving industries should be further promoted and that the com- merce already so great should be stead- ily encouraged. NATIONAL AND GTATE RIGHTS. 2. The constitution of the United Statos is the supreme law and not a mere compact of confederated stat it wes a sovereign nation; some p era are denied to the vation, whilo others aro denied to the states, but the boundary between powers dele- gated and those reserved is to be de- termined by the national and not the state tribunals. POPULAR EDUCATION. 3. The work of popular education is one left to the csre of tho-several states, but it is the duty of the na- tional government to aid that work to the extent of its constitutional ability. The intelligenco of the nation is bt the sggregate of the intelligence in the several states, and_the destivy of the nation must be guided, not by the genius of any one state, but by the average cf all. OPPOSITION TO SECTARIANISM. 4th. The constitution wisely for- bids congress to make any law respect- ing an establishment of 1eligion, but itis idle to hope that the nation can be protected against the influence of sectarianiem while each state is ex- posed to its domination. We there- fore recommend that the constitation be s0 amended as to lsy some prohi- bition upon the legislatare of each state, and to forbid the appropriation of public funds to the support of sec- tarian echools. REVENUES, SUBSIDIES, POLYGANT, ETC, 5. We reaffirm the belief avowed in 1876, that the duties levied for the purpose of revenues should so di criminate as to favor American labor; that no further grant of the public domain should be made to any rail- way or other corporation;that slavery having perished in the southern states, g |1ts twin barbarity, polygamy, must die in the territories; that everywhero the protection accorded to a citizen of American birth must be secured to citizens by American adoption; that it is thduty of congress to improve and develop our water courses and harbore, but insist that further sub- sidies to private persons or corpora- tions must ces:e; that the obligations of the men who preserved our coun- try's integrity ip the day of battleare undiminished by th years siuce th ™ Gth. Since immigratic United St uINESL. . autkority Lo regulate urse botween the n nations rests ty powers, that the repab- lican party, the unrestricted immigratic inese as 2n evil of ‘maguibude, invoke the exercise of tho power to restrain and limit that im- migeation, that the exactment of just, humane aud reasonable provisions 83 will produce that result.

The Time Between Omaha and Chicago Likely to be Reduced. The readers of Tur BEe were re- cently informed that the Baltimore and Obio had commenced running fast traioe, which made Washington and other points several hours in ad- vance of all other lives. A few days ago the Penusylvania line put on a fast express,which makes the distance between Chicago and New York in 28 hours. his, as was anticipated, caused the other castern lines to low suit, as will be scen by the follow- ing from The Chicago Tribune: The mansgers of the Michigan Ceatral and Lake Shore roads intend to follow the example of the Fort Wayne and Baitimore & Ohio rail- roads and also put on fast trains. They contemplate starting the fast trains to-morrow evening, unless con- trary orders should be 1cceived from New Yorkto-day. BoththeLake Shore and Michigan Central fast trains will leave here at 5 p. m. and reacl New York the following evening at 30, making the same time &3 the Fort Wayne fast train. Thera is con- siderable excitement among the var- ious Eastern roads on account of this fast-train muddle. The Vanderbilt roads were very reluctant about ran- ning fast trains, baving learned from previous experience that they are of no benefit. The fast traius on all the Eastern rows except the Baltimore & Ohio are run in addition t the resular traine, and consequently entail a heavy expense upon the roads. Efforts aro now being made to bring about an_arrangement with the western road: regular trains now leav east at 5:15 can berun as fast trains by allowing them to leave here two o three hours earlier, in which event the extra trains can be taken off again. Toaccomplish this the westera roads from Omaha and Missouri river points will have to getin here at about 2 o'clock p. m , instead of 4 o'clock p. m., £3 1 ent, which they can do very easily. Most of the managers of the western roads have signified their willingtess to enter into such arrangement, and it is very likely that the compromise will be effected within a few days.

"BUT(:HEE@ BLAINE Conkling Cruelly Slaugh- ters Blaine by Tying- Up Delegates Grant Men Bound to Make the Maine Knight's Forces Desert Him. Intended Desertion From Him on the Fifth Ballot for Garfield. BEdmunds Looms Up—Wash- ‘burne to be Withdrawn, if Possible. Spocil Dispateh toThe Bex. Cuicaco, June 6—10 p. m.—This has been the busie-t day of the whole week, there boiug great excitemeut. Hotel Iobbies were crowded and there was a voot amount of caucusing during this afternoon, aad no end of calcula- tions a3 to the result of the balloting to-morrow. Belotiog will begin as <oon as the session commences, the ouly business now remaining being to nominate candidates. LEADERS' TALK. Spesulation is rife as to. tho result. Logan says thece is a big surpriso in store for the anti-Grant men. Blaine leaders say they are_sure to nominate their man, that the Sherman men will soo that their case is hopelow sud wil come over to Blaino on the first break. Sherman men say that Grant and Blaine will use cach other upand that Shermau is the focond choico of a majority of both factions. KILLING WASHBUNE. One of the ramors is that the Grant meu will endeayer to have Washburne arrive in the morning, and propose, if possibla, to got from him such 4 dec- laration’ of his_determination not to acoept the nomination in any eveut as will put him out of the question. Tt assertod that in caso this is accom- frionds may bo able, should require, to uso their united power and name vhe suce-sful man. With Washbumno in the field 1t will ba impassible for them to do this, @1 part of the Grant men have mado up their minds to support Washburne, but Conkling and others will never do so. ANYTHING TO BEAT BLAINE, Sanator Hosr and others of the Massachusetts delegation have Fo- ceived numerous dispatches from con- stituen(s urziog them to pravent the nomination of Blaine. These dis- patches are mostly from men of tho most_pronouncod kind when he was considered far in the lead, but being also opposed atrongly to Blaine, have bacome alarmed at the_advantaze the Maine senator has recsived by the un- seating of Grant and seating of Blame dolegates. The ninet>n New York bolters held several informal talka to- day but agreed onnothing, except that the opposition to Grant is to continue. Edmunds men have been gatting good work in to day. They are buoy- ant in spirits and rely on a_big lift from Conklingas soon as tho silent soldier is out of the fight. Edmunds stock has taken rather an upward shoot. GRANT MEN TO STICK. The Grant men have been doing earnest silent work to-day. They 3- sort that he will receive a vote of over three hundred on the first ballot, and will hold his own cn succoediug ~ bal- Lot1, and when tho southera and other dolegates feel that they have dis- charged any duty required by in- struciions they will take a shoot for- ward and _will continue to increase the number uniil they nominate. They clsim that after the necessary vote, according to instructions, that Grant will begin to_profit by the in- dividual choice of the delegater, and Fille, of § all right, Wo have got them.” In thelobby of the Grand Pacific a patriarchial appearing, the colored delegate was_ surrounded all the evening by anti-Grant dele- gates who were trying to corner him, But when they wou'd make a polnt his only reply was, “I nesereaw anything about that and Grant is good enough for me.” LONG CAMPAIGN. The position of the Grant men, a3 stated last night in sn_intsrview with the agent of Nationsl Aszociated press by Gecrgs Gorham, lato ex-searetaty of the United States scuate, was: **Our policy is a passive one; we have come here to vote for Grant beciuse we b lieve he is the strongest candidste, and we have no second choice, We shall sit hero and vote for hi is either defeated or nominated, it takes till after nvext N ber. We ere mot antagon any other candidate and havo pledged ourselyes to sapport the nomiute who ever he may be. 1f sufficient friends of other candidates wig nnit upom one man to g:ve him majority i convention Graut will be defeated, but we must bo outvoted before we will give np, no one can tell that the nomiuation may be made Monday, the convention may run a week dopends entirely upon tho cour: Blaine's tricudy and whether a suc: ess- ful combination can be made upon him or any other man. BLAINE MEN' William E. Cf ager, when seen by the ag: National asaociated press, sain: well satisfied with the outlook to- night.” Reporter—Ts the ramor trus that Blaine will lsad on the first ba'lot, and will he, as_claimed, get in the neighborhocd of 318 votes!” Chandler—*“I am not willing to ex- press a positive opiuion on that point. Blaine may g2t more than_that or he way get as few as 250. 1 do not be- lievo in making ovec-ostimat:s We disliko bad enough to have to take them down after a ballot.” Reporter—“How about the rumcr that you are arranging tohave Blune’s votes less thau Grant's on tho first till he if ballot?” Chandler—“That is a leading quos- tion,” laughivg. t said tho Bliine men than at any previ- he weunt over the whole situation ~carcfully yesterday morning, and has som noting to change the conclusion that has been reached that Blaine’s chances wero exceliont. He expects about 269 votes for Blaine on th first ballot. Tn raply to an inquiry Fiye last nig are more confide ous time. H where the sddi- tional votes to mominate Blaine were to come from, Frye said ho would not bo zood managément or good tasto to announce in advance who we ex- pect to come to us, but you will sce our vote iuerease with evo. ; ballot till anomination is reached. Some who desire to vote with us may bo held back for a whilc, but wo_have fri enough favorable to Blaine's nomina- tion to assure it on. Success is only a matter of time after ballotingis once commenced. Logan’s eluborate speect and bitter attack upon the nationsl committee, and demaud that tho vetcraus be awarded five hundred tickets daily to the convention, it now appears, was part of a well-considered programme, which placed tire anti-Grant eloments in oppusition to the recognition of veterans, for the anti-Grent combina- tion had over a two-thirds majority in the national committee. The same Veterans have been working quietly and steadily for Grant smong southern delegates. The Massachuselts delegation Theld & caucus flast evening, and were ad- dressed by Senator Hoar. Ho said that 415 of the convention were #gainst Graot, and advised the dele- gation to unite on Blaine, as he was the strongest man; that Grant's strength lics as much in the democrat- icas in the republican pirty; his nom- ination would result in the demorali- zation of the republcan party. A Grant menber of the Massachusetts delegation said aiterwards that Hoar foresaw.that a majority f his delega- that the repeated efforts of the friends of other candidates to establish the right of delegates to vote accordlng to individual preference, will react to the benefit of Grant, becausehe is more widely known than any other. They Took to offers of support from the sol- dier element. - "FOOLISHNESS OF A BLAINE LEADER. Resentment was expressed over that part of Joy's speech on nominating Blaine where he said that the candi- dato ought to have the solid South in his faver, ay he would certainly have theNorth, for theSouthhad all to gain and nothing to give. Conkling was quick to see the point. His speech was written in advance and proofs were in the hands of trusted agents for dietribution to the press after de- livery, but after listening to Joy's apeech ho took advantaze of the m take of the Blaine advocate_reflecting on the South, and_departed from the proof slip to c-ll attention to the statement,and there is no end of fght- ing over it by scuthern membera. FIRST DALLOT PREDICTION. On the first ballot Grant will have 290 votes, Blaine 236, Sherman 5, scattering 65, GARFIELD'S CHANCES, Cnicago, June 7, 1 a. m.—An In- diana delegato says that the leading men of the Indiana and Towa delega- tion have resolved to prosent Garfield if a nomination is not reached before the fifth ballot. The same delega‘e in the matter of presenting Gen. Gar- field, says the question has been dis- cussed with a half-dezen delegations who are favorable to it. Ohio men are bitter over this rumor, iosisting that Ohio isto have their candidate, Sherman must bs the mav. Among rumors afloatlast night was ove that Grant has arrived in the city and another is that Jay Gould is here in the ieterest sf Blaine. Neither is f(rfllizzd by those in a position to now. A GRANT FREE LUNCH, It is stated that the Palmer House bas nctified delega‘es that no charge will be made for their stay after to- duy. The significance of this is in the relationship of the Grant family to the owners of the house. LIKELY TO ADJOURN TO-DAR. A signigeant fact as indicating the probable length of the convention is that the New York delegation has or- dered its speial car to be ready for to- night. Gen. Stillwell, of the New Jersey delegation and one of the members of the New York delegation tole a repor- tion was going over to Grant, and he only wanted to plaze himself on rec- ord as having not taken the lead in such action. Conkling said there was no change in the siuation since last Monday morning and now, except that many delegates had been found who will go direct to Graut on the second and third ballots. Whitelaw Reid, editor of The New York Tribune, express s the fullest confidence in Blaiues cuccess unless a turn occurs which no one auticipates. MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH. New York Money and Stock.

The General Make-Up of the Towns of Orleans and Guide Rock. Corcespondence of the Bee. ORLEANS, J of Orleans, that attracted so much atten- tiona fow years age as the successful rival of Melrose for postofiice and townsite honors, has again suddenly appeared upon the ful compatitor for the division termi- nus on'the R. R. R. Thisis not byany means the least contributor to its present bustle and rapid growth. Twenty unpainted structures tell of itsrapid growth, and the increasing number of stores and the unpreccdent ed business of each speak for its en hanced importanco as a trading point. By the of §3,400 in precinct bonds, its facilitios of approach are baing imgroved through the building oi two large bridges over the Republi- can river, thus opening to it an im- n and Philips A a5 a success- menss trade from Nor t us.

Tho important maoufacturing es- tabli-hmonts of the jl:coare a wagon factory, two tlour factories and a grist mill. A large number of farm wag- ona are put up here, besides some buggies and other veh'cles. At the plow factory of P. M. Moody the grasthopper plow is made. This is an inventicn by Mr. M., and is sucha curiosity to ea~toen people that all in- terested in farm implements will do well to call and se3 it. “Tho grist mill is operated with wa- ter power.

The line p:-s:s through an admirable section of countcp, which is alraady quite well settlod. Lots of cattle and hogs to sbip and fields of corn looking well are everywhero by the side of the track. For years past this por- tion of the country has furnished a large per cent. of the shipments from Red Cloud. Now, the time having come when they wero bound to have a road anyway, the B. & M. have sup- plied their wants, and the means of transportation passes by the doors of the eariest scitled portion of the Re- publican river in Nobraska. Ttis supposed that the intention is to continue the road eastward toa cressing of the Missouri river ac eith- er Brownville or Nemaha City. This road will cross the St.J. & W. at Fairbury, and the A. & N. at either Tecumseh or Table Rock. Inany case it will be the only direct east route accommodating the southern Corraepor.d Guie June 3 tier of counties in Nebraska, which are all fertile and wealthy; and it will some day become ona of the trunk lines of the wost, leadicg from Den- ver to Chicago. kven at this early day the development of this country has proven very satisfactory. Fruit troes have been planted with encour- aging success. All kinds of small fruit grow in abundarce, and it has never yet failed bringing forth a crop of some kind. Guide Rock, the first town on the Tine east from Amboy, is growing very rapidly. Since my last year's visit it he~ crawled out, of its fossil shell and begins to put on metropolitan airs. Nearly all the buildings in the place are new, and an army of builders still continue to ply very assiduously the hammer and saw. The railroad depot is completed and ready for busi- ness. The only trains now on the line are engaged in construction work. A. Garber hes erected a large store buildiog seventy feet long, and has transferred his stock of general mer- chandise to the new quarters. Mr. G. is one of the first settlers of Web- ster county and a staunch republican. Trving Crary, who has formerly Deen a-sociatsd with Me. Garber, hes erected a fine building adjacent, in whtch he will enter in_a few days in the general merchandising trade. Proudfit & Marsh bave a well as- sorted stock of hardware, tinware and stoves. Joceph Westlake has opened a res- taurantand confectionary. Dr. J. W. Robinson has a neat lit- tla store full of drugs, paints, medi- cines, &c. J. F. Evans keeps the meat mark.t and reports a good trade. A. A. Tyler_ keeps the Guide Rock ho Mr. Tyler was formerly inths hotel business at Pawnes City and dorstands catering well. J. S.

Correspordence of The Bee. Rexo, June 1, 1880.—We are hav- ing delightful weather at present in our little mountain berg. The days aro warm and plessant. The evenings are somewhat cool, as they generaly are thronghout the summer, and so Renoites and Novadians in general need not spend sleepless nights on ac- count of sultry weather, as is 2o often the care in eastern states. Our Ne- vada climate is something like tho lit- tle girl spoken of in “Nurscry Rbymes"—“When she was good she was very good indeed, and when she was bad she was horrid ” How if we do have Washo zephyrs occasion- ally we are not afflicted with cyclon:s, tornadcs, earthquskea or floods, ns has been the crse in other parts of the country.

During the recent flood near Wads- worth, a young man who was farming on the southside of the Truckes river, attempted to cress to the north side with a two horae team, he was swept away with his team and drowned. Neither his tody nor the horses and wagon have been recovered. Last Mouday two ltaliavs tried to cross the river in a buat neor the lo- cality of the former accident. In midetream the boat overturned, one of the men managed to reach shore in safety, but the other borne down by the current aud dis- appeared. His body has not been recovered.

INDIAN DANCING. There was a large gathering of Iu- dians on the flat bordering the south side of the river on the outskirts of town last Tuesdsy evening. They were mostly Wahoes and had assembled for the annual spring dance, before guing to their summer camping grounds. The dance commenced about 8 o’clock by the light of the moon and a big bon-fire. Half a dozen redskins join- ed hands and formed a circle. A slow, monotonous chant was commenced, the singers keeping time by jumping up and down with a sidling motion; the circle gradually enlarged by fre- quent accessions, and in the course of an hour nearlya hundred Indians were dancing. A number of visitors went over from town to witness the ludic- rous spectacle. NoTES. Twelve naked Piutes will shortly dance a war dance in the strests of Virginia City for the entertainment of the whites. There is an Indisn woman liviog fear Reno said to be over a hundred years old.
