LONDON, July s.-The Daily News
has long editorial this morning on the
dispatch relative to the Fenians recent
IL sent by Mr.. Seward to Mr.. Moran,
First Secretary of the American Lega-
tien in this city. The News says: The
dispatch is discourteoHs and nnfriendly
to the English nation. We have no
hesitation in denying that it expresses
the views of enlightened Americans
whom we know will repudiate the irri-
tating notes of Secretary Seward. The
people of the United States will be glad
to know that both the English people
and the English Government will treat
such dispatches as disguised tricks,
calculated to affect the coming cleo
tions.
John Bright has arrived on visit to
George Peabody. On reaching Liner
lex he was received in an enthusiastic
manner by the people of that city.
Samuel Lever died to-day at an ad'
vanced age.
Dispatches from Madrid indicate a
renewal of serious political troubles in
Spain. General Dulce, formerly Cap.
tain-General of Cuba, General Ser
rano, Duke de La Torrey aud five othCl
generals have been placed under arrest
and warrants have been sent out for the
arrest of three other general officers OF
high rank. 1t was supposed that dan
gerous and widespread conspiracy had
been discovered, and these arrests were
the result to-day.
Additional advices represent that Q
movement has been preconcerted among
some leading officers of the army, which
has for its object the placing of Dol
Antonio, the Duke De PoHtpenser, al
the head of the Government. The
Duke, who is q brother in-law of the
Queen, has been requested to leave the
country.
Additional arrests continue TO bt
made in all parts of Spain of parties
implicated in the intrigue, which it is
believed has been eifectually baffled by
the prompt action of the Government

"".
Nrw YORK. July SIT is known that q
dispatch has been received by the onio
delegation from Mr.. Pendleton direct
ing the withdrawal of his name as can
didate before the Democratic ConTen-
ton, and various reports as to its pur-
port and the intention of his supporters
are in circulation. While it may be re-
garded certain that his name will be
dropped early tomorrow, some say
that the Penaleton delegates will then
propose the name of Seymour and press
it with vigor. Few think they will
in any event support any
Western man for the Presidency, as
such n course would prejudice Pendle-
toms chances in ~, while. it is very
probable impression that their aid will
be given to English or some other prom
inent Eastern candidate.
"A, dispatch from Mr., Chase having
been received to the effect that he can
sand on the platform adopted yester-
day, a meeting of the New York delega-
ton was held this evening, OF which it
was agreed by n majority to start the
name of the Chief Justice tom orrow.
The tremendous applause with which
he was received when proposed by
California to-day indicates very large
vote when his name is put in nomina.
ton, and his chances still look ex.
tremely favorable. 1t is believed that
both Hancock and Hendricks have
about, if not, reached the maximum OF
the votes they can command for the
Presidency, though they apparently
have a good look for the Vice Presi-
dency. 30
1t 10 stated that John Norrissey has
made bet of $4,000 that the ticket
will be Chase and Hancock. Notwith-
standing the repeated and persistent
destinations of his name by Seymour, IT
does not seem that he is yet entirely
out of the field, and should Pendleton,
as indicated above, go strongly for him,
the nomination may yet be given te
New York.
No other names than Chase and Scy,
mour's are much talked of tonight
though some friends of Hancock be-
lieve he has still chance. Blairi
friends may bring him out, but he does
not appear like winner.
The single vote given to Mcclellan
to-day by Tennessee has suggested The
bare possibility of his nomination, but
though he has many warm friends, il
seems too slight to be seriously thought
of.
The Convention is hardly likely tt
adjourn before Saturday.
