= THIRTY-NIN . ApRADT 1 MPN TTON THE GREAT CONVENTION, oo PREPARATIONS FORTHE REDEMP- TION OF THE NATION, — Sreeley and Brown to be Nominated First Ballot ‘The Cincinnatl Platform Ace cepted Without Chan jelmont to Give Place to Augustus Schell, Bautimone, Juiy &—The last working tay of the Convention has ended, and it may be aafely said that about every material point to rome before the body has been decistvely set- led. The work of to-morrow may be summed up as follows: The Cincinnat! nominees will re- seive the regular nomination of the Convention with ecarcely any opposition; at the most, not thirty negative votes. The Cincinnati platform and Horace Grecley’s letter of acceptance will be adopted in substance as tho platform of the Convention, Thomas Jefferson Randolph «of Virginia will be temporary chatfman, and Gen. Jolin A. McClornand of Iillnols most probably permanont Chairman of the Convention. j) BELMONT TO BE SUCCREDED BY SCHELL, Aug. Belmont will be displaced as Chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee and Augustus Schell, of New York will probab- y be substituted in his stead. New York has ‘oot yet acted upon this question of organization and will not do so till after tho temporary or- ganization of the Convention. There ts a very friendly feeling toward Schell and if he fs presented by the New York delegation his TH YEAR. acceptance by the other States fs almost certain Mr, Beck’s name has has been mentioned for this positions, but he positively declines to be a candidate. + The Cincinnati platform, in its reference to the Living issues of the hour, is acceptable to all the delegations, and so far as {t applies to them, will be adopted unreservedly. Greeley's letter of acceptance Is warmly ptaisod by all the delegates, even by the few who exept to some of the phraseology of the Cin- clnnati platform. THE TEMPORARY PRESIDENT, Col. TI . Jefferson Randolph, the temporary President, ts @ Virginia gentleman of the old #hool, an experienced pplitician, who, while never acandidate for public office, has always been influential and respected, His couns and apinions were held in high regard by tho rginia Senators, Messrs. Mason and Hunter, don one oF more occasions he has presided over the sessions of the Virginta Conservative Conventton, Mr. Randolph was the favorite grandson of the great ‘Thos. Jefferson, and was made by him the executor of his will, and the depositary of his public and private papers. The former were sold to the Vederal Govern- ment, and published by the sanction of Con- gress. In character Mr. Randolph ts frank, sim- ple, genial, and hospitable. He is devoted to tural life and the associations of his 1 friends. He resides at Elizabeth, near Charlottesville, V ‘Though 75 years of age ts hale of body and mind, and {s one of the @nost-looking men in Virginia, He bas been a warm and early friend of the Liberal movement and of the Cincinnati nominees. ‘The Virginia delegation were about to adopt a resolution to present Mr. Randolph's name, but Mr. Randolph would not consent to do more than let his name be suggested to the National Committ ce. ‘This was done when the committe met by Mr. John Goode, in aneat and handsome address Mr. Bates of Tennesseo thought that both the temporary and permanent president ought to come from the North. Gen. Ransom ot North Carolina said that no distinction should be made between the Southern and Northern mombers of the Committee, All said that they must not act on sectional considerations. Mr. Randolph was then chosen without opposition. EVERYTHING FOR GREELEY, ‘Delogates have been arriving in the trains all day, and with but afew exceptions will all be nily al here befor the Convention meets at 12 to-mor- row. The sentiment has been shifting Greeley- ward all day, and fresh arrivals only med to eddto itsimpetus. It may be said that there has been more determination mauifested than enthusiasm, ‘Tne fact of the matter is, everything has been so much one way that there has been no occa- sion for even the ordinary enthuslasm attend- ing political conventions Save for the little unpleasantness in th nsyivania delegation and the deflant attitude of little Deis ware, there would have been no opposition to the endorsement of the Cincinnat! nominee, But to this statement there remains one stirring exception. « THE BOLTYRS’ MEETING. A Bolters meeting was called in Maryland In- tute, which met at 12 o'clock. Its prime movers were certain highly insignificant parties frou New York and South Carolina, for whom {t 18 a great honor to receive mention tn the newspapers. Although the meeting was extensively adver- Used, both in the newspapers and by handbille, \t came together at the appointed hour with but Afty spectators, more than one half of whom were reporters and correspondents. ©. ¥.

The delegation are vnanimous for Greeley and Brown, No vote was taken on the policy of a Fegular nomination, but this form ts favored byl ll the dele, 48 the mode best adapted to Secure the united vove of the Democrac: PENNSYLVANIA DIVIDED, Ponnsyivanta eull stands 35 for Greeley and 23 against him, ‘The minority have weakened Greatly under the pressure and enthusiasm of ‘the Greeley movement, and it 1s not likely that Over three will decline to make the vote unani- mous, Mr, Oharles McKibben, an old Pennsylva- mie polltioian, says that all the Democrats there will rally to tho nomination. The dolega- tion has made Wm, A. Wallace Chairman, An earnest effort is being made by Gov. Bigler and others to compose all the differences existing in this delogation, which promises to be succoss- ful. At a meeting of the Pennsylvania delegates to-night, it was decided to have the Chairman cast the vote of each delegate separately, and when It appeared that Greeley had received two- thirds of the vote, to cast the vote of the Btate as aunit. ‘This was carried by 86 to 13. ON10, TENNESSER, AND NORTH CAROLINA FOR ones Ohio met this morning and made Judge Payne of Cleveland Chairman of the delogation. A vote was taken on the Presidential question, and showed a unanimous vote for Greeley. Sev- eral districts hesltated, but decided to come in, and make the yote a unit. The delegation Is decidedly in favor of a regular nomination and the adoption of the Cincinnat! platform, ‘The Tennessee delogation met to-day, and ap- pointed John C. Burch Chairman, and agreed to support the Greeley and Brown ticket by a reg- ular nomination, The delegation are a unit. North Carolina has appointed Gen. Daniel M. Rarringer Chairman of the delegation, Gen, ‘Thomas L. Clingman to be on the Committee on Resolutions, and Congressman Manning on Or- ganization, J. A. Inglehart, of the Wilmington Journal, is Secretary. M. R. F. Armfeld is named as one of the Vice-Presidents. A resolution was opted in favor of a regular nomination, and casting the vote for Greeley and Brown. Alabama has made Gen. Lentz Lawler of Mobile Chairman of the delegation, William M Dyrd is named for one of the Presidents, All tho delegates are for Greeley and Rrown. A majority favor a resolution endorsing the Cin- cionat! nominations, but are ready to abide the action of the Northern Democracy, and go with them for a regular nomination. KENTUCKY UNANIMOUS FOR GREELEY. Kentucky 1s unanimous for Greeley and Dyown, and will favor an endorsement of him by resolution or in the form of @ regular nomine- tion, as may be deemed best by the States which are the battle ground of the contest. Gen, Jobn Williams, a Kentuckian of splendid figure and proportions, 1s chairman of this delegation. Ex- Congressman (H. D. McHenry is to be placed on the National Committee, and Maljory on the Committee on Resolutions. ‘The Maryland delegates have not organized. They meet at 9 o'clock to-morrow for this pur- pose. Montgomery Blair is selected for the Com- mittee on Resolutions, and it ts probable that ex-Gov, Thomas will be Chairman of the dele- gation, Mr, Blair has heretofore favored an en- dorsement of Greeley by a resolution, but rays the weight of opinion Is In favor of @ regular nomination, and is ready to support that course, VIRGINIA AND IOWA FOR HORACE Virginia has, on motion of Mr. John B. Bald- win, selected the Hon. Thos. L. Bocock to be chairman of her delegation. Her delegation is warmly and unttedly for Greeley and Brown, and will favor a regular nomination. The California delegation met this morning, but were not full,and deferred the matter of organization, Senator Casserly of California te decidedly in favor of nominating Greeley by rogular party usages In order to ousure succes Towa has chosen for chairman J. FP. Duns- combe, If prosent, and if not his post is to be filled by John B, Irish, M. M. Ham of Dubuque, is selected for the National Committee, Judg: Allison is on the Committee on Organization, The delegates took a ballot and were un: for Greeley aud Brown. They are for a regular nomination. GREELEY'S NOMINATION CERTAIN. The States of New York, Pennsylvania, Oblo, New Jersey, Indiana, Llinols, Lowa, North Car- olina, and Tennessee are strongly for observing all the forms of the Democratic Convention, and putting Greeley through the forms of a regular nomination. This policy is strongly urged by the wisest leaders of the party in the States which form the battle ground and the States which had favored a different line of po- Loy, are ylelding their Judgment to those which are debatable. The opinions of Gov. Bigler, William A. Wallace, McKibbin, and MeClure of Pennsylvania, Schell of New York, and Payne of Ohio are exercising a strong effect, and it is un- derstood that Fenton also desires a formal nomination, as the surest mode of effecting Greeley's election. It is therefore probable that by to-morrow the Convention will agree without serious division to adopt the two-thirds rule, and vote by States for President and Vice-President. The States which vote first are largely for Greeley, and it is doubtful if acy save Delaware and a part of New Jersey will yote against him until Pennsylvania be reached. At that stage Greeley's nomination by @ vote of over nto one will be assurred, and it is doubtful if a considerable minority be found In the Pennsylvania delegation. Experi- enced judges say to-day that the anti-Greeley votes will not reach 30 out of 73 delegates. BLANTON DUNCAN'S ‘SIDE SHOW, Blanton Duncan's side show is the universa tople of amusement. In answer to the fuo poked at him he declared to-day that his set were not such d~d fools as to hold aConvention at this time, but that the Committee would call aCouvention to which the Democracy would send delegates. He Is in much trouble to find candidates who will accept his nomination, He ofred Ben Wood to-day a bet of $0 that Grovley would hot be elected President, which was promptly taken by Mr. Wood, GRANT BENDING MONEY INTO NOMTM CAROLINA, Mr. Beck of Kentucky having heard that the Department of Justice was exhibiting unusual activity in sending down such spies and tnfor- mers as Whiteley to North Carolina, in order to cause a reign of terror, and thus carry the State election on the first of August next, went to-day to the Department of Justice and examined the books to ascertain th.s increased expenditure for merely partisan purposes, He found that instead of the old sum of $5,000 formerly appro- priated to the usea of the U. 8. Marshal, they had this year given Lieut. Carrol 3,000, of which $65,000 hay been advanced in the last slaty days, and $400 in the lagt ten days, as the prospect of the Administration carrying North Carolina became more dificult. It is obvfous from these dates that all this is done to carry the Staty In August. The ure of Delegates and Others from New York for Bultimore, The exodus from New York to Balti- more continued last night, and the Pennsylvania Railroad depot in Jersey City prosented an ani- mated spectacle, From New York the Des- brosses and Cortlandt street ferries brought constant accessions to the throng, and there Was an army of carpet-baggers wearing Greeley hats. About the station stood groups of men discussing th® situation, aud the sentiment in every quarter was for Greeley. One sprightly young man said: “Uncle Horace ain't pretty, but he's good,” and his remark elicited approving observations from several older Democrats with whom he Was conversing, “T'll tell you this much," sald an elderly gen- tlemun, a delegate to the Convention, "Were golng to nominate Horace Greeley to-morrow, Sure ‘The reporter did not hear any one even men- ton the contingency of 8 stralght-out nonin Hom while the nominatic of Dr. Greciey wa: freely and pleasantly talked of as an assured fact which was a fit subject for mutual von- gratulatic The first train was composed of eleven cars, ding three sleepers. ‘This traln went out at in charge of the Voteran cenductor J. & Field. | Amvle arrangements for passengers had been ‘made, and Mr. Prescott White, General Superintendent of the road, was on the ground.

Rome of the more prominent delegates thought that the Convention would content itself with an approval of the Cincinnatl platform and toket, but a large majority did not doubt that Horaco Greeley would be heartily and upant- moualy put forward as the nominee of the Dem- cratic party. The @ A.A. and 1 P.M. trains of yesterday carried many delegates and visitors to Balti more. About 7 members of the Tenth Assem- bly District Greeley and Brown Campaign Club, W..T.

A SUN reporter went to the House of Refuge yesterday after- noon to got information from Superintendent Jonos, but that gontieman was absent, and As- sistant Superintendent Brush answered for him. ‘The reporter asked for details, and was told the following story: At nine o'clock on Saturday morning Assistant Superintendent Eldridge, in Section 2, North Di- vision, became dissatisfied with the'work of John Keegan, aged 14, aud ordered him to report to the office for punishment. To comprehend this order It ts necessary to undorstand some of the rules of the institution. Tho inmates are divided into two classes.

Consequently, as thee tion of the monument has interfered, and will interfere somewhat with this arrangement, Mr. Tompkins has from the first been bitterly op- posed to having the monument placed there. On the 2d inst, the imonument which ts 6 bronze statue of a soldier in full uniform restin on his musket, had been taken to the groun ready to beiplaced in position on the 3d inst, Late in the afternoon of the 2d, the Hon, E.

EBB TIDE OF THE JUBILEE, ——— FIRST APP RARANCE OF THE MUSI-~ CAL MAGICIAN OF VIENNA. patterns ‘The Great Strauns at the Acadomy—What he Looks Like—How he Leads an Orchostra— The Beantiful Blac Danube Enthusiasm, The Academy was crowded last evening, on the occasion of Johann Strauss's first appeare ance in this city as an orchestra loader, His re« ception was enthusiastic, and each of his spirit- stirring compositions was applauded to tho echo, ‘The occasion was in every respect a great suc+ cess, and leader, orchestra, and audience parted in mutual good humor, The concert opened the familiar overture from “ William Tell.” which was led by Mr. Cart Bergmann in his accustomed scholarly and ar tistic mannor, and which was followed bya very fair rendition of the introduction and the third act of * Lohengrin,” led by the samo gentloman. Although both pieces were applauded, there seemed to be more or less impatience among the audience. When the llon-headed Vienna dance compos+ oratiast stepped upon the platform the re- pressed excitement burst forth, and the house shook with a storm of applause. Strauss seemed surprised and pleased at his reception, and bowed again and again, and a dozen times more before she could find opportunity to begin. As ho stood there before his immense audie ence, he seemed a quiet, handsome, dark-haired, pale-faced little man, with a gentlemanly bears ing and genteel figure ; about his head, Hon-like; about his body, a petit maitre of the Paris salon He might be any one of fifty quiet cavaliers thas one may see in any ball room, for all the impress sion he seemed to make on his audience. Bus when his last graceful obeisance is made, he ro- ceives from his servant his violin and bow, kives a sweeping glance around his orches» tra, raises his arm horizontally as high as his head, and stands ready for the first bar. Now he has become transformed. Ho is no longer the dandy, but the artist, and the er of artists. His nervous figure ve; he quivers with a sudden electric vit ity, as a racer does just before the start. Thom there is a mighty sweep of the violin bow, stamp of the foot, and he plunges headlong int@ the excitement of the moment. On and on carries musicians and audience, thrillin Most apathetic, arousing the dullest, an chaining the attention of all. His perfor catching his meaning as, if by intuition, wa every movement of his hand, every glance his eye, and every changing expression of Whether the passages are plano or forte, or fast, wild and weird, as in the Circasall March.’ voluptuous and ‘languishing, ss in Blue Danube Waltz, or boisterous, as in his ime toxicating galops, they seem compelled to obey his slightost wish, by the sheer force of his pere sonal magnetism. Look through the audien and one will notice a thousand heads swayl in unison with the music, and bear the Hghi tanping of thousand feet keeping time the musicians. Strauss seems to forget that there is a soul in the house the sixty-three artiste he is directing ; 8 to all else, he is ail alive to the progress of the plece. Now he shakes his shaggy, mane-like hair and buries his head ia the violin case as though he wished to get into the very soul of music that dwells within | dopths? now, like a flashing cimetar wield by a Saladin, his bow sweeps in long curves about his head, or threshes in downward strokes, as though it were whip with which he was striking a recumbent object. In another moment, raising both arms and filnging them about, he ‘calls upon the re. erved forces of his orchestra to come In and give effect to a fortissmo phrase. Through« out all, he stamps the measure of time with one foot and then the other, and, 80 to 6 handles his legs in such fashion as to make them twinkle a language of their own quite Peculiar and Dickensalike. a le per Of Yohsnn Stracce in'e nianiner at a he must be seen to bo ciated. There is something wild, gobli almost maniacal, we might say, about the mam when under the’ inspiration of music, and he sets at utter defiance all our notions of leader- dike dignity, founded upon such models aa the Siaselo Bergmann and the cold and passionless mas. Mr. Strauss ts the author of 900 musical compositions, and he is about to add one more to the total, tn the form of the “ Manbattan Waltz," which he Is to play at Priday evening's concert. His trip to America, occupying less than six weeks, sea voyages and all, will nett him about In private conversation he is affable, uent, courteous, and enthusiastic, He rises from his seat and paces the floor, emphasizing his speech by frequent gestures.

The programme was varied, but rather too exacting for such a warm The audience and orchestra would have been better satisfied with more Strauss and less Wagner, The four Strauss compositions were excellently rendered, and in each instance encored with obstreperous plaudits. The “Circassian March” and “Blue Dan ube" and“ Pizzicato” polkas were repeated, the latter twi and after the other pieces the or. chestra played the “Kalserstadt” polka and *'Tritch-Tratch " galop.
