Prom the Boston Adorfisa, May %,
The yybiQ National Convention.

In speaking yesterday Of the three candidates
who are likely to divide the votes Of the Baltimore
Wing Convention, we expressed the opinion,
founded on the uniform tenor Of the discussions by
the southern press. and Of the resolutions and
speeches at conventions in the Southern States.
that General Scott, should he receive the nomina-
ton Of the convention will not obtain the electoral
vote offs single slavebolding State. If this opinion
can be shown be we'll founded, or II the evidence
which is open to the scrutiny OF every one is such
as TO rsnder such result probable, is very clear
that the convention could not make greater mis-
take than to offer to the Wings Of the Union such
a nomination. although IL should prove that il is
sustained by the personal preference Of majority
OF the delegates.
The soundness OF this position will be apparent
from the following statement. General Taylor
was choeen in ls4s by I63 electoral votes, given by
rs Wing States; Of which seven free States,
and eight were slavebolding States. The number
Of votes then given by each State is exhibited in
che two following tables, in which the free and
slavcholding States are presented separately. To
the statement Of votes thus given. add the
surnber Of electors which each State lie entitled TO
choose under the These numbers
vary in six Of the States but the aggregate is the
same in the free Wing States Mt the date Of the
last election, and two lees in the Wing slavehold-
ing States:

The Jennings Estate.

TO the Editor If the Republic
Sin: Some days since the following paragraph
appeared in your columns:
"THE JENNINGS ESTATE IN ENGLAND.-Mr. = >.
Jennings, of Mobile, claims to be the rghtful heir
to the great Jennings estate in England. He says
that not one single link 10 wanting in his lineage,
from Charles Of down to the day of his birth;
that he is the eldest male lineal descendant Of
Charles and Mary Jennings. who came from Eng
land, and was clerk Of the court OF Elizabeth City
county, in the town of Hampton Virginia, in 1851
His books now in the clerks office at Hamp-
ton, at which place one hundred and forty three
acres OF land were granted 10 them as emigran;s
from England. Mr.. Jennings estimates the estate
to be worth from forty to fifty millions Of dollars.
The real estate for the fifty two years has yielded
about forty thousand annually Lord Howe has
a portion of the property under his control as
trustee, for which he has given ample security"
For the sake of this District, into which the divi.
sion of the Jennings estate may bring some TWEEN
ty odd millions Of doars, the error in this para
graph should not go unanswered. Charles Jen.
nings, the ancestor Of s. S. jennings, died in 1904
Charles Jennings, the second son Of Humphrey
Jennings, Of Birmingham, England, died in Eng
land in l747. Charles Jennings, the son of this
man. was first cousin to William Jennings, who
left the estate, and died in 773. and buried at
Neither Whitmore, Warwick county, England
Charles had sister. Elizabeth, who married Haw-
ner, and their daughter Esther married Carzon
and to their son, Penn Asheton Carzon, Charles
left his esate-Gopesale &c. In his will he leaves
e 900 to Abraham Jennings, of whom nothing
more is known. On Charles's tomb he is said to
be the last male lineal descendant of Humphreys
but William Jennings, who left the estate now held
in trust by the British government, then alive
Above you have all that is known of Charles Jen-
nings, the son of Charles, the son of Humphrey
Jennings; all of whom lived and died in England.
So MIR. s. s. Jennings is undoubtedly an outsider.

dressed to Mr., Maury a few days ago a commun-
cation expressing their wish TO present his name
TO his fellow citizens as a candidate for the Mayor
atty at the ensuing election, independent OF all
questions connected with the politics Of the day,
and solely in consideration of his long and useful
services in the Councils, and of his fitness for the
place.
To this communication the following reply has
been received:
81 have received your communication. What
ever might have been my Personal wishes on the
subject, il would have been difficult for to resist
the friendly call you have made upon me; but,

politics into our city elections, most cheerfully
place my name at your disposal az candidate for

LOCAL MATT r II S.

CRIMISAL CouRT.-The jury having been dis
charged, Judge Crawford was in attendance on
Saturday to hear argument in the following cases:
The case of William S. Brown, charged with
obtaining money under false pretences in the set
Element of military claim, (and in which case
three juries unable to make up verdict,)
was dismissed and stricken from the docket
The indictment against O'Reilly, charged with
adultery was quashed. This case grew out OF
the conviction of the girl O'Connell for marry
ing two husbands.l
In the demurrer of counsel TO process in forfeit
ing the bonds in the of Chaplin, charged with
abductng slaves from the District of Columbia,
upon plea of his having been removed to Mary
land, the Court overrued the demurrer, and it will
probably be taken on appeal to the United States
circuit court.
In the case of DR.. Gardner, charged with obtain
ing money, under the Mexican indemnity act,
upon alse representations, Mr. Carlisle argued in
favor of an immediate trial; and District Attorney
FendalI contended for its continuance 10 the next
term of the court.
Mr. Bradley, for the defendant, desired to con-
tinue the argument, but gave way; and the court
adjourned until 10 O'Clock this morning.
FiRE--The alarm of fire between ten and eleven
O'Clock on Saturday night was accustomed by the
burning of stable occupied by MIR Michael Bra.
dy, and owned by Mr.. Gregory Ennis, and stable
and frame dwelling, used and tenanted by MIR.
Drain, (hackman,) located on alley Tiber
creek, between lst and I'd streets. The exertions
OF the 6remen preventeda more serious conhagra-
ton. The fire, which originated in the stable used
by Mr.. Brady, was doubt the work of an incen-
diary.
NATIONAL THEATRE.-Crowded houses testified
to the success of Mr.. Forrest on Friday and Sat
urday evenings, when Nefamora and The Gladia
tor were respectively produced. He was supported
on each occasion by Madame Ponisi and Mrs.
Bowers. He is announced to appear for the last
