WASHINGTON, April 80, 1874,

Tremendous Excitement.
am writing en- dishabUe-it is night had re-
tired slightly indisposed 10 rest. ! was aroused
from light slumber by rap at my door, with the
direction to turn out quick and muster at -,
for there was great news in town. From the high
andresponsitle character of my arouser, ! hustled
up in hurry and repaired to quarters.
"What is il 2" said l.
GA letter-two of them in fact-have Just been
received in town, and have seen them, from Mr..
Richie, OF the Richmond Enquirer, in which he
states that Yam Buren, must be withdra,cn.''
! can only add the information Is authentic, and
the excitement tremendous. The cause, of course,
is the defeat of the democratic party in the late
Virginia election.
If all this be true, perhaps Mr.. Richie will re-
tract the ISLANDERS he lately uttered against "S. B.,
correspondent of the New York Herald" whom
he denounced as base calumniator for making
the statement that democrats of high standing
in Congress doubted Mr.. Van Buren's availability.
| also learn that the great question, "Who stole
the Treaty." is also solved. No one stole it., but
Mr. Tappan of Ohio, voluntarily gave it to the cor
respondent Gas understand) of the Evening Post.
So far as Mr., Van Buren, is concerned ! trust that
the readers of the Herald will discover that have
not mised them as to the state of feeling in rea-
ton to his navailabity which prevails at Wash
ington Mr.. Richie letters will create most un-
great dependency in the ranks of the wings.

Correspondence OF the Herald.l
BALTIMORE, Wednesday Morning,
May !, 1874.

BALTIMORE Wednesday Morning,
May !, 1874.
The Pennsylvania delegation have just met,
and given Is votes for Sargent and the rest for
M'Kennon and Denny. They will press neither Of
their men.
The New York delegation are pretty well united
on Fillmore.
John Davis or George Evans. So are the COM
mercial men of New York city.
The Convention will probably first struggle be-
tween Davis and Fillmore, and settle down on
third man-perhaps Clayton.
Nothing like the excitement here was ever seen
before There are 10000 strangers here, and they
are arriving by thousands every hour. Triumphal
arches, bands of music, banners, professions, &c
distance the days OF ancient Rome.

Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 80
JOHN NJ. NILES.
Gov FAIRFIELD presented the credentials of the
Hon John III. Niles, and moved that he be sworn
into office.
Mr.. JARNAGrN at much length objected to his be-
ing sworn, and moved to appoint a Committee of
Investigation to inquire into the capability Of Mr..
Niles 10 take his seat. He openly spoke of the
common rumors that Mr.. Niles was afflicted, by
dispensatlon OF Providence, with mental alienation
and it due both to him and TO the country that
the matter be investigated
Gov. FAIRFIELD stated that he had been Mr.
Niles fellow boarder since he had been the CITY,
and he was perfectly assured that he was in the
possession of his faculties his mind sound and clear
as ever it was and that he was as fully capable of
discharglng his duties here as any member OF this
body. Nevertheless he waived his claim TO be
sworn, and acceded to the appointment Of a Com
mttee

Mr.. CRrTTENDEN doubted the proprety of passing
this resolution in its present orm-It did not reach
| the case. He hoped the whole matter would be-
| postponed ill future day.
Mr.ALLEN hoped there would be no delay.
The Resolution by consent was modified to embrace
the question of competency.
Mr. TArrAS said he should vote against the resolution
he thought the Constitution gave the Senate no
to investigate the mental competency Of persons
duly elected and sent here That question for the
States to determine.
Mr.. cn,rr.sOns acknowledged the weight of Mr. Tap.
pans objection-t was delicate and a novel question
and he therefore moved its posponement.
MIR. ALLEN said he should object to delay. Mr. Niles
might he this day entitled 70 his seat and his vote.
Mr.. BUCHANAN thought there should be little delay
as possible II would be very embarrassing to Mr. Niles
to be hung up till next Monday
Mr.. CRiTrENpEN said the Senate was not full now.
MANY of the wings are absent in these days Of the

Mr.. WnfoHr said the committee could be appointed and

The inscription Is in three paris
The longest is Of ten lines, engraved

of Ad, according to Mr.. Sale, were
descended from Ad. the son OF Avs

Shem, tie son Of Noah. The event
