CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The failure of
Weston yesterday to accomplish his one
hundred miles, Is very generally re-
garded here as design on bis part not
to succeed, and such Is the testimony OF
all the dispatches from the reporters
with him. Believing this, the cur
rent Of feeling here is setting strongly
against him, and the impression Is very
generally entertained that his recep.
uon here will be anything but cordial
or daLtering. A dispatch from South
Bend says that Weston was exceeding
lynervous and hdgety all day yester-
day. He was continually apprehen-
sive, or seemed to be, that some one
would hurt him while walking. He is
irritable and swears violently on the
slightest provocation. His friends en-
terrain fears that he will break down in
mind and body on his arrival here. ii
not before. He will stay Mt Calumet,
Indiana, about forty miles from here,
Tonight. and reach here Tomorrow at
noon, or perhaps little later. His
wife arrived here last evening, and. Is
stopping at the Sherman House.

NEW York, Nov. 27.-At the nitro
glycerine explosion at South Bergen, 1t
appears that nine persons were instant
ly killed, and six wounded. The in
quest will commence on Friday next.
The common council of Bergen yes

town limits of !, 900 pounds or glycer-
inc, found in store.
The Chamber OF Commerce adopted

lee, favoring the early resumption OF
specie payment. Remarks were made
by Messrs. Low, Opdyke, Chittenden,
Conkling and others, and memorial,
TO be presented TO Congress, was order
ed TO be prepared,
J. II. Anthem, in letter to the Demo
cratic Union Convention, last evening,

ton afterwards endorsed Mr.. Hoffman.

NEW YORK, Nov. N.-The Tribune's
Richmond special says: The mandam-
us ofthe district court on Gen. Schotield,
to show the reason why he refused to
allow en.eImboden to register and
vote, was served to-day. 1t is made
rsturnable on Monday next.
The Tribune's Washington special
says: The State Department has been
for some time past endeavoring TO me-
gotiate for the purchase OF some of the
Danish West India Islands. II is now
stated that st. Thomas and ST. John
have been bought, subject TO the ap.
proval OF the United States Senate. To
ascertain the sentiments OF the inhabit-
ants relative TO the contemplated change
from the Danish to the United States
government, the Rev. Mr.. Hawley WAS
commissioned to proceed there some
time ago. His mission was very salts
factory and in his report he states that
nearly all the inhabitants are favorable
to annexation TO this country. The ru-
NOR that an expedition had sailed to
take possession OF the Island is absurd.
The vote of the House on the resolu-
ton instructing the COMMITTEES on
Banks and Banking to report bill
providing for the withdrawal of the
National Bank currency and substitu.
ting therefore greenbacks, is regarded
as very significant OF the temper of the
House.
The Ways and Means COMMITTEES in
tend to take up at an early day the
question OF contraction, and report in
accordance with the resolution re-
TERED to them today. They will
also take up the question OF re-
pealing the tax on cotton. The
wool interests are said to be strong
" opposed to the repeal of this tax, as
it will materially interfere with the
production OF wool.
The judiciary Committee of the
House will, at their next session, take
up the bill referred to them, providing
tor the suspension of the President
pending impeachment. The bill Is a
great one in it's character, and it is the
opinion OF many of the Senators and
