of Hon. R A. Harrison as a candidate
for Supreme Judge.
A. L. Walling, of Picaway, moved
that Mr. Harrison be nomited by acola,
nation.
The Chairman put the question, and
1T was carried by an overwhelming vote
there being only two or three voices
in the negative.
Hon. r. A. Harrison was declared the
nominee of the Convention for Supreme
Judge, amid much enthusiasm.
COMPTROLLER OF THE TREASURY.
This was the next Office in order The
following names were presented as can.
didates, but the reporter was unable in
the noise to gather the names of the
gentlemen suggesting them:
Frank NJ Cozad, of Warren.
James X. Newcomer. of Lorraine.
Z. G. Denman, of Williams.
John H. Heaten, of Belmont.
The Secretaries announced the result
of the vote as follows:
F M. Cozad received los votes; j.
X. Newcomer, 1873; j. H. Heaton, 140;
E. G.. Denman, 76. There was no choice
A motion was adopted that the lowest
candidate on the next ballot should be
dropped.
A second ballot was had, with the fol
lowing result. Pending the vote the
name of Mr. Denman was withdrawn
from the contest:
F. nj. Cozad received 1854 votes; J.
X. Newcomer, 144t; j H. Heaten, 166.
A question was raised whether the
resolution to drop the lowest candidate
should apply to this vote as given above.
The Chair ruled that Mr.. Dcnman being
candidate when the motion was made,
the rule only applied to him in this in
stance, and therefore Mr.. Cozad was
still candidate. The third ballot re-
suited as follows:

Special Despatch to The EUeninq Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Mr. Sheldon, member
from Louisiana, made an elaborate argument to-
day before the committee, on the decline of
American tonnage in favor of q subsidy for
line of steamers from ports of the United States
in the Gulf of Mexico to Mexican ports. He
asked one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
year for the first five years, and one hundred
thousand for the next five years; after that only
the regular pay for carrying the mails. The
subject was referred to a subcommittee.
Canal improvements.
Mr.. Gano, of Cincinnati was before the sub
Commerce Committee to-day in reference to the
Louisville and Portland Canal and improvems
on the Ohio river He thinks the committee
will report in favor of liberal appropriation
for the purposes indicated.
Affairs in Tennessee.
Governor Senter, of Tennessee, was examined
at length this morning by the Reconstruction
Committee concerning affairs in that State.
Senter in his statements rather confirmed those
heretofore made by radical delegations that
have appeared before the committee as to dis
turbances in the State and impossbility of
enforcing the laws. He gave it as his opinion
that some action should be taken by Congress,
but what shape it ought to assume he did not
know. At all events he was willing to confess
that, as Governor of the State, he is powcrlcss
to enforce the laws.
Ben, Butler.
After hard fight ON the part of the Demo-
Gratis, who opposed it vigorously, the House to-
day passed a resolution appropriating $4,000 to
reimburse Ben. Butler for expenses incurred in
defending the suit against Charles w. Woolley,
of impeachment notoriety. Judge bingham
was Buffers principal champion on this occasion.
Butler made another effort to-day to get in
his San Domingo annexation resolution, but
failed, objection coming from the Democrats.
He will get it in on Monday, under call of the
States for resolutions.

Saturday, April 9. 1870.
There is a perceptible decline in the demand
for call loans compared with that of the two
preceding days, but there is perhaps an in
creased supply of business paper, which reflects
itself on the tone of the discount market. The
material advance in the prices of stocks during
the active movement at the board has absorbed
additional capital in the effort to carry them,
and money will be hardly so redundant as at
the beginning of the week; but in the present
condition of the market the effect will be but
temporary. The range for call loans to-day is
about 5@ q per cent, but there is less business
doing than yesterday, indicating clearly that
the speculative fever has reached its climax.
Discounts are moderately active but easy, aud
prime paper is in good demand at Car per cent.
The Gold market continues dull and there is
a general disposition to avoid speculative opera
tions for the present. Sales ranged up to noon
this morning between 1l2iE(0l12SS.
Government Bonds arc quiet, but prices have
again advanced.
At the Stock Board there was less activity,
but prices were steady. State loans were active
with sales of the skies, second series, at 1867.
Sales of City skies AT 1024@3s for the new
issue.
Reading Railroad was dull, and sales were
made at 49'31. Pennsylvania was active. with
