speculatiohs Regarding the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency are kept up
with lively energy, butsin the face OF them
all there are no points presented which
can,be regarded as. certain indications of
the result of theconvention. The Hancock
men, including number Of Western Demo-
Gratis, are in the majority here. and seem
sancuine that he will receive the nomlna-
ton. The friends of the Chief Justice
have been more quiet than usual in the past
two or three days, but still have hopes that
they win succeed in having him Nominated.
1t is understood in this connection that GER
tain prominent leaders will require the
friends of Mr.. Chase to commit him and
themselves to the nomination which shall
be made before permitting his name to
be introduced. Some look at this as en-
tirely unnecessary, as it is generally con-
ceded among the most, enthusiastic Chase
men that in ally case there sis little pros
pect of any Of them supporting the Radical
ticket. The friends of Mr.. Pendleton
course the word friends is used with par
ticular reference to their being the urgent
advocates of the nomination Of the gentle
men with whose names they are present.
ed-are working very quietly in the inte-
rest of their favorite, and some of them
declare for Chase as their next choice,
which is said TO be in accordance with the
views of Mr.. Pendleton bimself. It is con-
coded in MANY quarters that the whole
question Of Democratic nominations will
be decided on the fifth of July, which comes
Gil Sunday; 30 that there is very little profit
in the thousands Of speculations which will
occur, between now and thens go ~.
1t is not believed that Mr.. Egarts will
accept the position of Acknowledgement,
rendered him by the President; even should
he be certain Of receiving the approval Of
the Senate. 2hE zoo sa.t -2sH2.s'
Among, the callers on General Schofeld-
or rather at the War Department o-day
was" Doctor" Mary Walker, who has be-
fore this reached Richmond on her pere-
crinations. The 2aDoetor" wanted to see
General Schofeld for too minutes, but the
Secretary WAS too busy to admit the lady,
and she was particularly disappointed.
Shells very severe on General Grant, and
intends to take the stump against him, to-
gether with other representative women, on
account Of Grants hostility to female suf-
frage, while he endorses negro suffrage.
The Impeachment Committee is going
ahead, fer reasons only known. to Butler,
and possibly to Logan. They examined
one of the. clerks of the Metropolitan Hotel
to-day, when Butler propounded several
inquiries! relating to the iron safe, it's loca-
ton in the Office, number Of compartments,
etc. aJ t-5'a1 ss-..'s -i'5-
The Indian Office is daily in receipt of
information looking towards an Indian war
this summer, and it is very evident that
very positive measures will have to be
adopted for the safety of the whites and
friendly Indians on the frontier. Western
men are clamorous for the removal of the
Indian Bureau from the Interior to the
War Department; but it is doubtful if the
transfer will be made during the present
session of Congress-. ~ 49, T1MoN.
