fCincinnati Commercial Special
There is q movement in progress
for harmonizing the Pendleton and
Chase interests, and inducing the
Pendleton men to support Chase.
Many of Chase's friends are here to-
night, and working to complete this
arrangement Several men OF the
Ohio and other delegations, favorable
TO Pendleton, say that they may be
induced to do so whenever Pendle--
toms cause is hopeless. provided
Chase is not named by New York,
between whom and the West there is
great hostility. They threaten to
bolt in a body if New York names
Chase and pushes him to a nomina-
ton, but are willing to stand by if
Chase is named by any State favor
able to the Pendleton interest. This
is the plan that is under consultation
tonight, but there is no certainty of
its arrangement until a late hour, if
at all.

NEW YORK, July SIT is known
that a dispatch has been received by
the Ohio delegation from Mr.. PEN
dleton, directing the withdrawal Of
his name as a candidate before the
Democratic Convention, and various
reports as to lis purpOrt and the in
tentions Of his supporters are in cir
culation. While it may be regarded
as certain that his name will be
dropped early tomorrow, some say
that Pendleton will then propose the
name of Seymour, and press it with
vigor
Few think the Pendletonians will
In any event, support a Western man
for President, as such a course would
prejudice Pendleton's S chances in 1872,
while there is a very prevalent i'm
preston that their aid will be given
co English or some other prominent
Eastern candidate
A dispatch from Mr.. Chase has
been received to the effect that he
can stand Oh the platform adopted
yesterday.
A-meeting Of the New York dele
CATION was held this evening, at which
it was agreed by a majority to start
the name of the Chief Justice to-
morrow. The tremendous applause
with which his name was received
when proposed by California to-day
indicates that 4 very large number
will support him when his name is
formally put in nomination, and his
chances still look extremely favorable.
1t is believed that both Hancock
and Hendricks have about if not
quite, reached the maximum Of votes
they can command for the Presidency,
though both apparently have a good
look for the Vice Presidency.
1t is stated that John MOrrissy has
made a bet of ten thousand dollars
that the ticket win be Chase and
Hancock.
Notwithstanding the repeated and
persistent declinatiOn Of his name by
Seymour, it does not seem he Is yet
entirely out Of the field, and should
Pendleton, as indicated above. go
strongly for him, the nomination
may yet be given to New York. No
other names than Chase and Seymour
are much talked of tonight, though
some friends of Hancock believe he
has still a chance.
Blair's friends may bring him out,
but he does not appear like q 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. it seems too slight to be
seriously thought Of The Conven
tiOn is hardly likely to adjourn be-
fore Saturday.

What Correspondents Saw.

From the Cincinnati Enquifer's Special
The excitement and confusion in
the vicinity of the hotels is greater to-
night than ever. The Fifth Avenue
Hotel, which Is regarded as the Pen
dleton headquarters, is the scene of
more canvassing and cauoussing than
any other place In the city. Pendle-
toms friends seem more active than
ever. though / am tolerably certain
they are not as hopeful as they have
been heretofore.
The Southern delegates have not
stood by their promises so often re-
peated within week past to support
Pendleton. They scattered their votes
so much to-day, that it is impossible
10 tell whOis their first choice, if they
have any incoming man.

profession. has been busy In denun-
citation Of pendleton, though he told
me few days ago that Pendleton was
his FIRST choice. He has been casting

Other Southern delegates are fol-
lowing hin lead.
There are rumors to- night that In
diana vii not vote for Pendleton any
more, bu- wilt start off to morrow for
Hendrick ?, and stand by him until he
rs nominated or defeated.
There are also rumors of detection
in the Illinois delegation, and they
are probably true, as they relate to a
few delegates who have never been
true TO Pendleton, but have from the
FIRST been ready for a trade. Two of
them are pets Of the Treasury Depart
ment, and have no business in a
Democratic Convention.
Judge Davis, of Illinois, is talked
of as a candidate for tomorrow.
Wisconsin has been voting for
Doolittle. She votes as a unit, under
instructions. Six of her delegates are
Pendleton men, but the unit rule de-
stroys their power. She will prob

Pennsylvania will vote for Hancock
after the first ballot tomorrow. She
has been voting compliments to
Packer to-day. Johnson friends
expect her support, but will be dis

Some surprise has been expire ssed
that Chase's name was not mentioned
to-day. The fact is, Belmont and
others are keeping Chase back unit
