AN IDLE RUMoR.-Several of our city contemporaries,
and we believe some of the journals in other places,
have given currency to rumor that the Democratic
National Convention would probably be changed to
some other locality than Charleston. This, to those
who well informed the subject, is simply ridcu-
Ious. The place fixed, not by the Committee, but
by vote of the Cincinnati Convention The Committee
empowered to fix the time, but entrusted with
authority whatever as to the place for holding the Con-
vention.
We authorized to state that this is the view taken
OF the subject by the Chairman of the Committee and
that thought is has been, entertained of making
change=N. Y. JOlLrnaL of Commerce.
