NEW YORK, April 22-The Herald Charles
ton correspondent says: The candidate most
spoken OF, and who creates the most interest
at present, is Douglas 1t is nothing but
Douglas, Douglas. The outside pressure for

half million each, and not feel it much; so
the knowing ones in financial circles assert.
The Tribunes Charleston correspondent
says: The New York Softs have organized
formally, by electing Dean Richmond Chair
man, and Peter Cagger and James G. Spen-
Ger, of Ca, Lawrence County, as Secretaries.

and VIM. F. RUSSELL who will report to-mor-
row morning at nine o'clock. rg-sr-s 71 .rr

An important point was a resolution offered
by Mr.. Phillips, that the delegation should
vote as a unit in the Convention. This
movement, though not expected, was de-
nounced by Congressman Montgomery as a
surprise. He said he would not permit his
vote to be cast by another, and threatened to
talk till 1870 before permitting the adoption
of the resolution. He finally left the meeting
