Qver Fifty of the Medallion Hosts of ’80 Already Delegated. Notes of Numerous Conventions Held Saturday. THE PRESIDENOY, THE LA’ €ST CALCULATION, Special Disvatch o Tae Brk, WasHINGTON April 27,—The New York Herald's political summary says: ‘There has been elected 8o far 578 of the 820 members of the republican national <onveantion. Of these 300 are for Arthur, 150 for Blaiae, 54 for Logan, 45 for Ed- munds and 22 for Sherman. Thera yet remains to be elected 230 delerates. Of these Texas wiil give Arthur 26 votes, Kentucky 20, North Carolina 16, New Hampshire G, Nevada, 6, Rhode Island 9, Florids 8, Colorado 6. From the other states whose delegations are still incomplete, he will get at least 10 of 18 in Wisconsin, 5 of the 10 from West Virginia, 2 of the 6 from Nebraska, 2 of the 8 from Minnesota, 2 of the 6 from Massachusetts, 4 of 24 from lowa, with 10 or 12 from other states. This will give Arthur 432 votes, and SECUED HIS NOMINATION. The absurdity of the story that the president will withdraw from the can- ‘vass can thus berealized. He has done nothingto secure the delegates but his friends have been quietly at work with- out any boasting and the sentiment of the country has been in his favor. The Blaine men have done all the blow- ing and hava claimed everything, as they -did in New York before the Utica con- wvention. When they get to Chicago they will be as much surprised as they were -at Utica. COMPARISON ‘WITH BLAINE'S VOTE 'at Cincinnati is interesting just at this time. On first pallot he received 285 votes. He received 10 from Alabama, 6 from Colorado, b from Georgia, 38 from Illinois, 6 from Massachusetts, 7 from New Hampshire, 6 from North Carolina, 16 from Virginia and 20 from Wisconsin. He will receive no help from these states on the firet ballot at Chicago, and the delegations from Iowa, Kansas, Mary- illand Minnesota and Nebraska, which weresolid for him eight years ago will be «livided now. President Arthur has to- day pledged to or instruct:d for him amore votes than Blaine received on the firstballot at either Cinsinnatti or Chica- go. BLAINE A8 A DELEGATE. ‘DHE PLUMED KNIGHT'S FORLORN Apoclal Dispatch to (1B B, Cucaco, April 27.--The Washington «correspondent of the ZInter-Ocean tele- graphs: “‘I heard yesterdsy that Blaine wasserirusly thinkiog of going himself to the National Republican Convention at Chicago as a delegato at large from Muine. Friends of his told me the idea had been suggested and seemed to strike the historian of the Kennebec with some favor, The state convention meets in Maine Wednesday and we shall have to wait until then to know if it is true, al- though now it commends itself only to the most credulous. 1t would not be un- HOPE, Kke Blaine to do such a thing. He is| ) NOTHING IF NOT DRAMATIC, And what a eens aton it would create ! Ho has several times done things quite as audacious and has always won. The manner in which he took the Nulligan bull by the horns and read leiters in the houss of represontatives not only amazed the people but won their admiration for his courags. Blaiue's pluck is the source of his greatest popularity, and while con- servative men must disapprove of his ap- poarance at Chicogo it would eause an enthusiasm that would CAURY HIM TUROUGH, Thoreis something inspiriting in the man’s prasence aud every one knows he has 8o equal us a leader. If ho is not nominated for the presidency he wants to nawme the republican ticket, and he could do it if he went to Chicage, A masher of political strategy, an ivspiring leader and orator who lifts an audienes off their seats, Blaine would stand head and shoulders ahove every msn in the con- vention aud ba able to command a f)llow- ing that would conteol its deliberations, Nover was there o president who more ’l)n Vau Housen, ENTH YEAR. conscientiously regarded the interests o the servics, or who used patronage less to advance his personat ambition than President Arthur. There was never a man in the White House before who could tolerato what the president permits in Collector Robertaon of New York. IT 18 A SPECTACLE ENTIRELY NEW in politics to see the head of the most powerful political machine in all the coun- try using it against the administration, and yet tho apponents of the president do not seem to rocognize his generosity in this particular. Internal-revenue Col- lector Daval of West Virginia, who at- tempted to mako a little political capital by resigning his oftice becauso he could not conscientionsly support the preni- dent's renomination, has recalled his res- ignation and has Arthur's permission TO GO IN WITH ALL HIS POWER for Blaine. T don't believe Blaine would ba 80 generous toward a political oppo- nent. What gratifies tho president most is the commendation his administration has received from evory convention o far held. All resolutions that has been pass- ed approviug his conrse aro secretly pre- served by him and will be the choicest relics he can carry away when he leaves the executive mansion. He was more anxious to receive this endorsement from his party than to secure the re-nom- ination. THE OLD GUARD, 1S GRANT A DARK HORsk? Special despatch to The Bee. Caicaco, April 27.—*“There is some- thing in this ‘Grant talk’” said a promin- ent republican, *‘and you must keop your eyes cpen forit, I think a majority of the Logan men are Grant men at heart, and many Arthur men in the south. Chauncey Filley, of Missouri, is for Grant. Platt, of New York, another delegate, is for Grant. Jerome B. Chaf- fee, supposed to be a Logan general western manager, is secretly for Grant, and so is Jim Belford, ¢f Colorado. Senator Jones and Bonanza Mackey will head the Nevada delegation and they arc for Grant. Cameron will bo back from Europe in time to take a hand in the samej line. Ycu see Granc has HAS BEEN QUIET LATELY, and has outlived to a great extent fthe antagonisms of 1830, Many Blaine men now speak very well cf him and Grant men think he will be nominated after the long fight of the leading candidates wears out the patience of the convention. Let me give you some pointers iu this aage of delegates already elected to the the national convention: 60 wear the 306 badges and belong to the INMORTAL OLD GUARD. lsn’t that a good nucleus for a whirlwind to sweep to the old commander at the right moment? Of these fifty, there are forty-four supposed to be for Arthur, three for Blaine, and three for Logan. Alabama alone has 8 of the 306 men in her delegation, Arkansas 6, Georgia b, Illinois 1, Kentucky 1, Louisiana 4, Ma- ryland 1, Mississippi 2, Missouri 4, New York 6, Pennsylvania 3, Sonuth Carolina 2, Tenuessoe 3 and Virginia 4, The way in which they are distributed among the states makes their influence greater. More are coming from other states; look out for them! The only lllinois delegate in the convention of 1880 wh, has been elected this year is J. M. Truet, of Hills- boro, and he is one of the 306." MERKICK COUNTY REPUBLICANS, Spocial Correspondence of The Boe, Cenrray Ciry, Neb., April 26.—The Merrick county republican convention met haro to-day. The home issue was between those who joined the demoorata last fall in eleoting our cou .fy ticket, led by N. R. Pesn- ger and represented in the convention by J. G.

Ropresentative Post was given authority to submit the minority report. His re- port will bo signed by four or five mem- bers of the committee. The bill which he will aubmit with tho report is basea upon the one introduced in the senate by Mr. Kdmunds. Itincludes all the sub- sidized roads and makes it optional with hem to settle theic indebtedness with the government in 120 ssmi-annual pay- ments, In caso of a road defauiting, it is to be governed by the Thurman act,except that the per cent. of the net earnings paid into the sinking fund is increased from 25 to 46 per cent. Post, in his ro- port accompanying tho bill, saye: The minority of the committee think that in dealing with questions involving 8o great an interest, wo ought not to show o dis- vosition to oppress these railroad corpan- ies 50 as to cripple them in their opera- tions. The only question presented is how best to secure to the government the u wate payment ot thodebt. The question of time is of secondsry importance. We beliove the wisest policy is to devise some means whereby the question shall be set- tled now and for all time, in such a man- ner as shall render it impossible for the constitutionality «f the Thurman act to be again_brought before the supreme court. It is conceded by the majority report that their bill is only a temporary mensure, aiming at securing an increased amount for the railroad companies over that provided by the Thurman act. No claim is made that, at maturity of the bonds outstanding, any great amount of the principal will be paid. At maturity of the bonds, then congress will be oblig- ed to enact logislation to uxtend the time of payment. We believe it better to en- act a law which will make the govern- mont eafe, and at the same time give the railroad companies an opportunity to pro- tect themselves against the competition of non-subsidized roads, WASHINGTON NOTES, PAY OF DIPLCMATS, The house committee on appropriations reported the bill making appropriations for the coneular and diplomatic service. The amount appropriated is $977,770, which is §367,325 less than the estimates. The mensure reduces the contingent ex- peuse of lezation 869,500 and of tho consulates $26,000. llowance for clerk hireat consulates is reduced $30,000. The annual salaries of tho ministers to Austria and Italy isreduced from $12,- 000 to $10,000. Several unimportant offices are abolished. THE TARIFF ACT. The chisf of the bureau of statistics to- day handed to the secretary of the treas- ury his report in regard to the operations of the tanff act of March2, 1883, It ap- pears that the act caused a reduction of about 6 per cent, in the average advalo- rem rate of duty on imports. Some of changes in detail are gs follows: Iron and steel, and manufactures thereof, a reduction of 6 15 100; clothing wool, ceduction_of 9 88 100 per cent; combing wool, 11 27 100, earnest wool. 6 1 100; manufacturer's wool, 4 52 100; manufac- turer's cotton, increase, 1 92 100: manu- facturer's siik, reduction, 8 82 100; malt liquors, reduction, 5 91 100; earthen and china ware, increaso, 19 100; spirits and wines, increase, 1828 100. The report is very voluminous, OUR MERCHANT MARINE. The Saturday session of the house was devoted to the bill to remove certain burdens on the American merchaut ma- rine and to encourage the American foreign carrying trade. An important amendment by Mr. Cox, was adopted 111 to 69, providi) & that “41t shall bv lawful for any citizen of the United States to impoyt iron or steel built steamships of not less than 4,000 tons measurement, free of duty, and such ships shall be ad- raitted to the American registry, provid ed such ships slull be the exclusive prop- erty of a citizerLor citizeus of the United States; and profided further that such ships sboll be d cluded from the cosst- wiso trade.” TH ' bill then passed.

Continued. COonsideration will be asked fora bill providing for a free bridge across tho Potomae, which was left as unfinished business at the adjournment on the 14th inst. Frionds of the tariff bill expect Tuosday, Wednesday and Thursday will bo devoted to the discussionof that meas- ure, Tho appropriations committee may however, ask the consideration of the District of Columbia and consular and diplomatic appropriation bills, both of which have been reported to the house. Friday will bo dovoted to a discussion of private bills, The bill to amend an “‘Act to execuie cortain treaty stipulations re- lating to the Chinese’ has been made pecial order for Saturday. IN THE SENATE, Unfinished business in the senatois tho pleuro-pneumonia bill. Senator Plumb has given notice he will ask the senate to vote upon it before adjourn- ment to-morrow. - The next measure in order, the only special order on the cal- endar,fis the senate shipping bill. This measure has been delayed to await action on the Dingley shipping bill, It was tho purpose of the friends of the senate bill in case the house sent them the Dingley bill in a form to meet their approval, to move its substitution in the senate for their own. The adoption of the free shipping amendment to the bill in the house, has it is understood, defeated this purpose and it is now probable Sena- tor Frye will ask tho senate to proceed to the discussion of the senato bill as soon a8 the pleuro-pneumonia bill is out of the way. 1t is the intention of Sena- tor Hoar to ask considoration of the bill relating to bigamy, better known as the Mormon bill, as soon as the shipping bill is disposed of. Matters of general legis- lation will probably be displaced for a day or two during the wi2k occupied by the Tndian appropriatior bill, and it is possible the agricultural »ill or pension bill may be reported in s¢ason. e — A FAMILY LY! CHING. A Brutal Murder Near Towa, Auduabon, Des Moings, Towa, Ayp:il 27,—Sunday morning, about two o'vlock, a brutal murder occurred three imiles southeast of Audubon, this state. An old man, named Hiram Jallerson. was taken out of his bed by three mer. find after being dragged about threesryndred feot was hung to a limb of a tree. * His wife, who was sleeping with him, screamed to give the alarm, was told by one of the men who rode back to the house, that he would hang her to another limb if she did not keep atill. Jallerson was old quite lame and inoffensive and there are strong suspicions that some of his family are mixed up in the murder and his daugh- ter's husband, John Smythe, a hard character, is freely charged with the crime, It is also supposed the old man's son, Cicero, was one of the party who did the hanging. The family is not a bright one, and the son is said to bo almosy fool- ish and just such a man as could be per- suaded to dosuch a deed. The whole country is aroused 1If the men are caught there will probably be another hanging without trial. e L S THE OLD WORLD.
