Carcaco, April 11.—The scene at the various polling places at the republican primaries to-day, to choose delegates to the four congressional district conven- tions embraced in Chicago and Cook county, were of A MOST DISGRACEFUL CHARACTER, As it was merely a primary election, which was not govered by legal enact- ment, and ropeating not punishable, large gangs of democratic thugs and ward strickers, marshalled under Logau’s ban- ner, went from poll to poll, voting every- where they went. Whenever they reached a voting place they simply took possession of it, DRIVING AWAY all respectable citizens who would not vote the Logan ticket. Many were thus hustled out and literally lifted up aud handed back over thu heads of the mob and set down on the outside. In some cases this proceedure inet with organized opposition and FREE FICHTS ENSURD, The trouble was particularly hot in the Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth wards where Colonel Davis had the opposttion organized, and with the help of the cus- tom house managed to defeat Logan and the post.ffice. *‘Long” John Wentworth was a prominent worker in the First ward and talked with considerable free- dom. Along toward evening somebody on the other side took offense and climb- ing up on a step-ladder PUNCHED *‘LONG"” JOHN'S NOSE. - The democrats were interested in embittering the Davis and Logan fac- tions in the hope to make a breach so wide that they will be able to runin a democratic congressman at the end of Davis' term., General Press Dispatches, Cuicaco, April 11.—Republican pri- maries were held in this city ‘from 4 to ¥ this afternoon to elect delegates to nominate congressmen in the First, Sec- ond and Fourth districts, and to elect delegates in all four districts to the dis- trict conventions to elect delegates to the national conventiom. The issue in all four of the districts is clearly defined as between the adherents and opposers of Senator Logan for the presidential nomination, and the choice of delegates to the district conventions simply fore- shadows the result of the work of the conventions to-morrow. The balloting was characterized by an UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF TURBULENCE, The struggle in the Third (Cengress- man Davis') district was particularly ex- cited, and many personal encounters and saveral free fights resulted, but as the only weapous used were fists, no serious consequences resulted. The result of it was A DIVIDED VICTORY, The First district chose eighty dele- gates to the congressional convention, forty of whom are for Logan and forty againat. An exciting time is anticipated when the convention meets to-morrow to «choose delegates to the national conven- tion, In the Second district, the Logan and anti-Logan managers agreed to disagree, aud held TWO BETS OF PRIMARIES, and will send two sets of delegates to the national convention, In the Third dis- trict anti Logan delegates were chosen, and in the Fourth those in favor of Logan, e ——— VANDERBIL1'S VAGARY.

Havaxa, April 5,—Accounts from the interior speak of the movement of large parties of bandits, and government troops continue to come in. Yesterday a bat- talion of ragulars was sent to the Vuelta Arrabia district. The coast in the neigh- borhood of Havana is occupied by de- tachments of troops. Aceounts from San Dominio say that the Cuban refu- gees tnero have much money, and are proparing to land in Cuba in con- junction with parties there. The gov- ernment pretends to ridicule the reports. It is reported that the minister of colo- nies has made a new loan with the His- pano Colonial Bank of Barcelona, Spain, for $3,000,000, paying 1 per cent com- mission and 94 per cent interest, at the rate of 15,000 daily from the income of the Cuban custom houses. This has added to the discontent, as there was a former loan, by which $33,000 daily is taken from the custom house. There is a perfect panic in the markets and mer- chants are subject to heavy exchange discounts.

He also said if the senate committee's bill became a law the West- ern Union company would not become a bidder for the contract for which that measure makes provision, but that if the rates originally proposed in the Hubbard bill (25 cents, 50 cents and 75 cents,) should be adopted, then the Western Union would bid, ——— Crushed to Earth by Earth.

Awmong them are ex- Governor Henry W. Rothert, of Keokuk; Collector of Internal Revenue J. W. Cheek and wife, Edwurd C. Smith and Mrs. L. Enos. Governor Sherman said that the party was bent on pleasure and not on business, ““What is the POLITICAL SITUATION IN 10WA?" the goveror was asked. “There isn't much situation in Iowa to speak of yot. The delegates to the na- tional convention are selected in Towa by districts, but not until the state conven- tion meets, when the districts will hold caucuses.” **Who will the delegates be for?" “‘That none can tell, but the opinion is very strong that they will come unin- structed. Iowa is still a Blaine state, but I think the delegates CANNOT BE PLEDGED FOR BLAINE, or any other candidate. I believe they will come divided and ready to vote for Blaine first, but for any other candidate should it be deemed wise. Arthur can have some of the delegates, I have no doubt. He is regarded as a safe, able and satisfactory man, and lowans think well of him.” THE PULL FOR 'l‘llSAI_’RES[DENC\'. PRE-PLEDGED FOR BLAINE.

Absolute free trade is at present an imposmbility, any tariff necessarily affords incidental protection to domestic manufacturers of the articles it embraces, but protection should be an incident rather than an ob- ject. Tariff lovied only for public uses means a tariff exclusively on articles which are not produced in the United such as tea and coffee. I favor a tariff for rovenue, avoiding monopolies, but carefully discriminating 80 a8 to enorurage labor, and as far as possible so constructed in intelligent de- tails as to give relief to oppressed com- merce, and restore American ships to the sea, but not to shock or rudely disturb invested capital. This is the Ohio plat- form, on which we carried Ohio last fall, and with Tilden or Payne as candidate wo can carry it again this fall,” Governor Jackson's views are: “‘I am not in favor of making the tariff an issue in the prestidential campaign. I believe the 1ssue should be reform in the government, and a restoration of pub- lic confidence to be brought about by an absolute change at Washington. 1 beliave there should be a modification of the existing tariff, but am opposed to the passage of the Morrison bill by the house. 1am in favor of the Ohio plat- form—a tariff for revenue with incidental protection—as the wisest policy to unite the democracy for national victory.

McKay, Dunn, Dudley and Hagen, Rep- resentative McKinley, Judge = Law- rence and others. General Grant walk- ing with the aid of a crutch, entered the hall at the head of the invited guests. He was groeted with the wildest ap}.lause, the assemblage rising and sending forth cheer after cheer, and continuing the ovation until the president had taken his place on the platform. A comrade, D. S Alexexauder, department commander, opened the exercises with a brief speech. He then introduced the presiding officer GEN. HAWLEY, who was groeted with applause, and who spoke briefly. He said that such meet- ings as this were producing good. They were good forthe Grand Army, and the perpetuation of the memories that they commemorated was a good thing for the country. It was twenty-three years ago to-day that word was sent to fire upon Fort Sumpter, and that it must surren- der. Twenty-three years since the rebels fired onit. He referred to the feeling at the north., Atthat time a feeling that there was a great struggle before the country,and that God only knew whether it was tc be A DIVIDED COUNTRY, and asked, could any one then have fore- seen what the character of that struggle would be, what sacrifices the country would be called upon to make, and what the result would be, He thought tha after five years of desperate struggle be- tween the bravest lo)s?nn on both sides that ever drew breath, the men who com- posed this assemblage and similar ones had a right to come together sometimes and look back at these things without being accused of boasting; to congratu- Iate themselves; to shake hands and thank God that great and small alike each counted one in the greatest struggle on record. Hawley then introduced. GEN. LOGAN, and saying he felt sure, no matter what the newspapers said about that gentle- man, they were about to hear from a brave comrade and honest man. The statement was received with applause, Gen. Logan on coming forward was greoted with warmth, and his speech was many times inwrruc‘t’ed with ap- plause by the audience. hile he was speaking, PRESIDENT ARTHUR AND SECRETARY LIN- COLN entered the hall, and as soon 28 their presence was known the assemblage cheered them loudly until they reached the platform, the anrine band, stationed in the gallery, meanwhile playing *‘Hail to the Chief.” When the president and secretary had reached the platform the presiding officer called for three cheers for the president and for three cheers for the son of Abraham Lincoln, which were also given with a will, GENERAL LOGAN RAISED A LAUGH at the beginning of his speech by an allusion to the chroniclers of the battles and campaigos who never saw a battle or & campaign, but who can tell more about them, than those who took part in them. He then described at length the opera- tions about Vicksburg, taking occasion to make several uncomplimentary allus- ions to Fitz John Porter, In the course | g5 Ougy, Ill, April 11,—The republi-|George Kuight, Dan Smith, William | ;¢ ig remarks, some of these allusions to cans of the Sixteenth district have elected Harrison Black and Charles Churchill delegates to Chicago.

Their representatives: ‘were present to-di nd' made a state- ment of their evances. President Miller said that there had been no money in the treasury, hence his order. After a good deal of discussion the asseciation voted to pay one-half of the claim of the- two concerns, the rest to be settled at the end of the month. The distilers: agreed to the proposition, and also to- withdraw their suits.
