DEATH OF THE US. MINISTER TO GUATE-
MALA.-Hon. BEVERLY L. CLARK, of Ken
lucky, United States Minister Resident to
Guatemala and Honduras, died on the
18th March. His funeral ceremonies we're
conducted with great pomp by the Catholic
Clergy. The report is generally credited in
Guatemala that Mr.. CLARK was absolved
by the Church from his marriage vows two
days before his death, that he might join the
Order of the Franciscan Monks. Mr.. CLARK
made public profession of Catholicism in
the City of Guatemala on the 18th of De-
cember last, and was buptized by the Bishop
of Nicaragua, and took the baptismal name
of AUGUsrIN. MIR. CLARK is the third Uni
ted States Minister who has died in Qua
temala within four years-Messrs MAL1S
and VENABLE having preceded him to the
tomb.

GOSSIP ABOUT THE CONVENTION
WHO WILL BE THE NOMINEE:
The Warfare by tho MOnied Men upon
Douglas.


MILWAUKEE, April %.
A despatch from Charleston, Saturday
night, states that Senate JOHNSON of Tenn,
has been telegraphed to, to know whether he
will run for Vice President on ticket with
DOUGLAS.
HENRY A. WISE, in letter, withdraws
his name from the Charleston Convention as
candidate.
CHARLESTON, Sunday, April %.
The candidate most spoken of is DOUGLAS.
The outside pressure for him is immense,
but as the delegates come in and compare
votes, his strength turns out to be greatly
reduced.
Among DOUGLAS friends at Charleston is
Mr.. AUGUSTUS BELMONT, of New York, o
the house of RorHscH1LDs, who it is said has
an interest in DOUGLAS of pecuniary ma
ture.
A despatch from Washington states there
is report to the effect that CoRcoRAN the
banker, SL1DELL and BRIGHT, have left for
Charleston, with ttuo million of dollars to
defeat DOUGLAS. 1.-THE telegraphic repor>
ter probably added CIPHER or two to the
amount.
DOUGLAS friends from the northwest and
elsewhere, met at their head quarters last
night, and proclaimed the determination to
accomplish his nomination or defeat the par
ty. (Bosh.)
The Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and
Rhode Island delegates are counted as sure
for DOUGLAS. Massachusetts, in an informal
caucus. went against him. Pennsylvania
went seventeen for DOUGLAS to ten against
DOUGLAS. Connecticut stands eight for
DOUGLAS and four scattering. Wisconsin
and Ohio are eager for DOUGLAS.

This body, which assembled at Charles

THE PROSPECTS FOR DOUGLAS.
A HEAVY BET PROFFERED-NO TAKERS.

The steamer Keystone State, from Phila-
delphia, arrived at Charleston with num-
Der of Pennsylvania delegates on board, on
Saturday last, the 2lst
CHARLESTON, Saturday April 81.
Correspondence Of the Herald
The outside pressure is still for DOUGLAS
but they meet good many repulses from
Southern men. The Douglas men to day
telegraphed Senator JOHNSON, of Tennessee,
to know whether be would be Vice Presi-
dent on ticket with DOUGLAS.
This is bid for the vote of Tennessee in
the convention.
Gen. LANE has some very strong friends
and his prospects are improving.
Correspondence Of the N. Y. Tribune.
CHARLESTON, April 81.
The friends of DOUGLAS, though still con
fdent, are not exultant, and fear detection
at some weak point. They claim III votes
at the start, exclusive Of New York, but in-
cludiag the East and a portion of the South,
and are also sure of his nomination on the
fourth ballot by the aid of Kentucky and
Tennessee.
Mr.. Bradley, of Alabama, offers to bet
ten thousand dollars that DOUGLAS will car
ry every Southern State if nominated, and
yet he will not vote for him in the Conven-
ton.
Fernando Wood and his followers arrived
here last night, and have established open
house al St. Andrews Hall. He is indig>
nant that tickets should be issued to soft
delegates as has been determined upon, and
will endeavOr to make trouble in the Con-
vention.

cratic National Committee, called the Con.
vention to order.
Hon. FRANCIS B. FLOURNEY, of Arkan-
sas, was appointed temporary chairman.
Mr.. WV. Foster was appointed temporary

Mr.. RICHARDSON, of ILL.,, spoke in favor OF
harmony, and urged gentlemen to keep
calm, and preserve order.
Here the despatch closes.
CHARLEsToN, Sunday, April %.
Knowing ones say that Mr.. F. B.
FLuoRNEY of Ark, will be the temporary
Chairman tomorrow, and further, that Mr..
DOUGLAS will be nominated, with A. II.
STEPHENS of Ca, for Vice President.
The masses Of the delegates appear con-
fused and uncertain whether the WOOD dele
gates and Illinois irregulars shall be rejected.
The Georgia double delegation case may
cause much embarrassment. The delegates

Total, ITO; whole number of electoral
votes, Excluding Kansas,) 303; absolute
majority, l52; Douglas Is more than an
absolute majority, or 81 more than all others.
[NorE.-If Pennsylvania and all the other
States should vote solid, Douglas would thereby
lose IL more votes than he would gain, but it is
believed that he would still have an absolute
majority.]
On the second or third ballot-Doug-
las friends standing by him-the following
arc confidently expected to come over to his
support:
Kentucky. IL Balance of Pennsylvania. II
Tennessee. ..l3 North Corolina
California. Maryland.....
Florida. 80. Missouri. .......
Virginia. 80. 10 Arkansas. .....
Balance Of Massachusetts, 30.
Increasing his total to 1854; or 81
more than the two-thirds required to nomi-
nate.
We have reason to believe that Judge
Douglas friends expect the vote of South
Carolina also on the decisive ballot but
we do not know on what data this expecta-
ton is based and, in the absence Of any,
the expectation would seem quite illusory;
But, unless there is scandalous cheating
around the board, Douglas is bound to be
nominated.
