ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3-From correspondence in
the hands of the National Capital Convention
committee, 1t appears that Governor Geary, of
Pennsylvania. declines to send delegates to the
National Capital Convention, to be held here
next month, on the ground that the people of
pennsylvania are not ready at present to sane
tion such movement. Governor Baker of
Illinois, while he approves of the movement
himself, questions his authority to appoint dele
gates in the absence of an expression of tho
views of the people on the subject The Mayor
of Memphis thinks the convention should be
postponed one year.
Henry s. Foote, of Tennessee, claims to have
favored the removal of the capital ior twenty
years. Governor Warmouth, of Louisiana. and
Governor McClurg, of Missouri, announce their
intention of appointing full delegations. The
convention will be held if no more than three
States are represented

A despatch was received yesterday from the
agent of the Kansas Pacific Railroad at Denver
that 100000 pounds of Colorado silver ore have
been shipped to the eud of that road by wagons,

that when the road is completed to Denver i'm
mense amounts of rich ore from Colorado will
find its way east and to Europe for smelling.

last night. The robbers first picked the lock of
the Western Union Telegraph Office joining
the bank, and from thence made an opening
about eighteen inches in diameter through the
brick wall into the bank vault. The attempt on
the interior safe lock was unsuccessful, but it
was disarranged so that the bank officers have
as yet been unable to open the safe. The burg
lars left their tools behind including signal
line extending into the street, and iutended to
guard against surprise.

From Livingstone.

Alta late meeting of the London Royal
Geographical Society, q long correspond
ence was read by the Secretary, chiefly
of a geographical nature, describing the
travels of D.. Livingstone. The first
was note to Dr.. Kirk from the doctor
himself, bearing date July 8, 1868, and
written from near Lake Bsngweolo. The
following is an extract: II have had no
news from anywhere for two years and
upwards. The Arabs have been all over
flowing with kindness. | borrow this
paper from Mohommed Bozlrib, for l am
up here without any. / have
found what believe to be the sources OF
the Nile between 10 degrees to IL degrees
south, or nearly in the positions assigned
to them by Ptolemy. IL is not one source
from q lake, but upward of twenty OF
them. Lake Liemba, which possibly is
an arm of Tanganyika, has four rivers
flowing into it. One / measured, and
found it to be 29f feet, say 100 yards,
high, and waist deep, and flowing fast in
September. Taking these four
rivers as one line Of drainage "a fifth from
Marengs must be added), then the Cham
beze flows from the side into the center
of great valley, and receives three
streams as large as the Isis at Oxford, or
Avon al Hlmiltoa." The next commu-
nicstion was very full dispatch from
DR.. Livingstone to the Z arl of Clarendon,
dated July, 1868, and sent from the same
place as the note to DR.. Kirk. ItwaS an
interesting accoun Mt of the great travellers

and speaking hopefully of the results of
his labors. 1t gave details Of the general
facts mentioned in the above quotation
as to the source of the Nile. The post

Death of Millionaire Mfser The
Examination of his Elects $780,.
OO6 Found In his BEDROOM.

OO6 EOuuO In n1S BeOrOOms
On Wednesday morning little bed
room in the highest story of Taylor g
Hotel, in Jersey City, was broken open
by the bill collector when he found that
no answer was made from within to his
calls, and the lifeless body of one of the
oldest bosrders in the house was found
sitting upright in chair before the table.
| The man was very old, and had been for
years subject to disease, and the dis
covery that be had at lest died alone and
without warning, though matter of sur
prise and regret. did not cause suspicion.
For Eve or six years the old man, who
dressed in the roughest' garments, had
| been gliding silently from his gsrret to
the dining room and back again to his
retirement. What his occupation was
no one knew, or seemed to care. Only
one person was ever admitted to his room.
This was the chsmbermaid, who was per-
mitted to arrange his room while he was
at dinner. When questioned, the girl re-
piled always that there was nothing re-
markable in the room, except the ab-
seDce of anything to make it comfortable.
A few old coats, coarse shirts and patch
ed boots were there, and two trunks old
and battered. There was one singular
circumstance connected with the mans
life. Though meanly clad, he was
among the promptest in paying his bills.
The old man was without friends, aud
during the six years of his abode in the
house no one came to see him. 1t was
known by the proprietor, however, that
he had sister living at Greton, Conn.
His name-Lymsn Allyn-was known
to none but the proprietor and bookkeeper
What were his sntecedents, his resc urces,
or his occupation noone could ascetaln'
When he was found dead, the servants
whre ordered to lay him out and watch
by the corpse until bis friends, il he had
any, could be called On Friday they
came-a sister-in-law and two nephews.
They said be was born in Connecticut in
1897, md had many years ago been
commission merchant in New York,
where he amassed large fortune. What
had become of it they did not know.
They soon learned where he kept part of
it, however, for upon unlocking one OF
the trunks heap of bonds and ato cks,
gold and currency, was found tumbled
carelessly in. An examination showed
that there was property in the room
worth over 5000 900, besides securities
for large sums elsewhere. A will was
found among other papers, dated fifteen
years ago, bequeathing the entire proper
ty to his sister and her children.
The evidences Of the old mans mean
ness we're plentiful in the narrow room,
and the sight OF his ragged garments, in
which he clothed himself, brought tears
to the eyes of his sister. The miser died
as he had lived, alone.

Slim Prospects for sherman.

The New York Sun imagines that the
nomination of Gen. Sherman at Louis
vile will not be adopted by either OF the
great parties, but that it will remain
without any substantial consequences.
When he came to Washington last spring
he was prevailed upon to accept pres
eut of hundred and two thousand dol
lars, raised at Gen. Grants special re-
quest. from various citizens of New York
and New England. His obligations
toward Gen. Grant will keep him in the
background for sometime to come. Gen.
Grant is understood by those who are 10
the way of seeing him intimately to cher
ish deep desire for reelection. This
feeling will naturally grow stronger as
the decisive year of 1872 approaches;
and the influences which tie President
can always bring to bear will doubtless
be exerted to secure for him the nomina-
ton of the Republican National Conven-
ton. As long as Gen. Grant is candi-
date, Gen. Sherman cannot and will not
enter the fsld; and when it is deter
mined that the Republicans will not have
Grant, it will be too late for Sherman to
Fl sh for their nomination; indeed, his re-
lation to Grant would make it difficult
for him to accept a nomination which
Grant had failed to secure, though it
should be unanimously rendered to them.
Besides, it is not now probable that in
1872 either party will adopt military
candidate. The experience of the Re-
publicans with Grant has been such as
to give them distrust of shoulder-strsps
in civil office; and even if be should now
forsske his folles and make seusible
and successful administration, hefcsn
hardly recover, either for himself or for
other statesmen of military education,
the confidence he has forfeited. And as
for the Democracy, while there is nothing
in General Sherman's antscedents, or in !
his political convictions, to forbid their
taking him up, it is almost certain that
they will be less inclined to run a mill
tary candidate in 1872 than they have
ever been before.

The Richardson shooting Case.

In reply to the statements made by Mr..
Mcfarland, who shot Mr. A. ID Richard
son, on the 25th ult., in New York, some
friends of Mrs. Mcfarland have prepared
the following for the New York press.
Those who have known her concur in re-
garding it as fair and truthful repre-
sentstion:
"The friends of Mrs. Mcfarland deny
most empbatically the statements of Mr..
Mcfarland as to her fondness for society,
dress and display. She is very quiet
and domestic woman, who has seen next
to nothing of the world, and who has
always lived an extremely secluded life.
Her habits have been stusious rather
than social, and the necessity of support
ing her family would have left her little
opportunity, even had she been so in
clined, for anything like fashionable dis
sipation. Respecting the charges that
Mrs Mcfarland and Mr. Richardson had
been very much together during the past
two years, their friends who are well in
formed on the subject say they have rare
y seen each other in that period, and
when they had, it has been in the pres
ence of others Mr. Richardson had not
seen Mrs. Mcfarland for year, until he
visited her fortnight ago at her fathers
house in Charlestown, Massachusetts,.
All the lady's acquaintances represent
her as a most amiable, prudent and es-
timable woman. The story of Mr..
Mcfarland being offered $4,000 and a
cousulship if he would agres to give up
all claim to his wife, is without the least
shadow of foundation. Mr.. r RchGrdson
never proposed to do anything but marry
the lady who has obtained such painful
notoriely through her domestic misfor-
tune"
