tion, such influence as he has, and u Is
great, will be given TO either Hancock or
Hendricks. Mr.. Pendleton stands no
snow at his hands. He might support
him if nominated, but he will use all
legitimate means TO defeat such n con-
summation. Mr.. Pendleton's. financial
views are as fatal to him as Republican
antecedents to Judge Chase. IL may be
set down, then, rs an assured thing that
Mr.. Seymour, backed by the New York
and most Of the Eastern delegations, will
go dead against our distinguished towns
man.
Governor Seymour is not partial to
military heroes. He would prefer a
civilian, and will find the man for his
money in the Indiana Senator; but il It
should be discovered that the choice lies
not between Hendricks and Hancock,
but between Hancock and Pendleton,
there is no doubt as to his preference in
that alternative. His voice will be for
Hancock, and his influence, together
with the outside pressure Of the Con-
servative Soldiers and Sailors Conven-
ton, backed by the support of the Penn
sylvania delegation, may secure the nom-
ination for the General.
Washington Juno 20 Cor. N. Y. Herald
A lively movement is going on among
the moderate Republicans and the un-
compromising Democrats here to bring
Senator James r. Doolittle prominently
before the Fourth Of July Convention as
candidate for the Presidency. Senator
Dooliitle, they say, is a man whom all
can unite upon in the event of stubborn
contest-and such they believe will be
the character of the proceedings in the
Democratic Convention on the men
whose names are now conspicuously be-
fore the country as candidates for nomi-
nation.
A number of Southern politicians, in
corporation with few Democratic ex'
perrin enters of this city, were busily en-
gagged to day in plan ming scheme where.
by the name of General Frank Blair, of
Missouri, is designed to loom up, with
some show of strength, in the Conven-
ton at New York. To.dsy's palaver has
resulted in quite breeze in the dIrec.
ton of Blair, and the Southern trump
eters of that gentleman say that he will
run better than anybody that could be
nominated as far as the South is con-
cerned. These promises are taken by
the shrewd men of the party ct precisely
what they are worth.
Washington (June 27) Correspondence of the
New York Commercial Advertiser.l
The Chase movement seems to revive
with the approach of the time for hold
ing the New York Convention. IL con-
stitutes the chief topic of interest, as the
com plexion of the entire political cam
paign depends upon the nomination.
Leading Democrats and Congressman
| here have placed themselves in commu-
nication with the various Congressional
districts in relation to the nomination.
The results an overwhelming demonstra
ton by the rank and file in favor of Chase.
The old politicians, and perhaps ma
jority of the delegates may not respond
TO this feeling, many of the delegates be-
ing elected in the advance of the devel-
opment of the Chase feeling, since the
nomination of Gen. Grant aud the close
of impeachment. There seems to be no
doubt that Chase's nomination would be
favorably received by the Democratic
masses, and not only win over large
number of Republicans, but also prevent
a serious detection in the ranks of the
Democracy to Gen. Grant in case of the
nomination of an extreme Democrat
Mr.. Chase's decision in North Carolina
case, which was overruled by General
Sickles, is quoted as au evidence of bis
-opposition to military rule in the South.
Dispatches received here from New York
represent that Gov. Seymour, Mr.. Bel
mont and the Tammany Sachems are
organizing for Mr.. Chase.
