the two elements that will support Greeley and
secure q good arrangement.

ers, had light yesterday at slaughter-h house
Being unsatisfactory they adjourned to the
meadow, where they fought, in the presence of
knives. Fallen had his bowels ripped open and
died, and Leary fed but was overtaken by the
police and captured. Leary's wounds are SO
dangerous that he is not expected to live.
CONGRESS OF INTRRNATIoNALS
commenced sessions here yesterday. TWENTY
sections were represe ted. A communication
was received from the section in San Francisco
detalllng the bad effects upon labor In Cali
fornla by Chinese emigration, stating that one
hundred thousand Chinese are there, and pre-
diets that they will in short time monopOlize
all the labor in the manufactures, ETC., and
that they are under the control of six compa-
MES, who import also thousands of Chinese
women for prostitution. They appeal to the
MoihineincH VI tne east, ana say IL this emigra-
ton is not stopped blood will flow in the streets
OF San Francisco. The congress resolved to
ignore politics and other disturbing questions,
ana with this view are perfecting a new plan
OF organization.

A captain OF a military company was arrested
yesterday by the police for allowing his band to
plny while reforming from q military funeral.
The company threatened to rescue their COM
mander, but he dismissed them to their armory

the new law.

WEAKNESS OF THE OPPOSITION TO GREELEY.
The great body Of the delegates are now upon
the ground, and ii is a foregone conclusion that
Greeley will be nominated on the first ballot
although il is evident that there will be some
little opposition. portion Of the Pennsylvania
delegation Will endesyor TO get up a controversy
upon the question OF nominating or endorsing
the Cincinnati nominees, and il they receive any
encouragement 20 nominate Judge Thompson,
OF Pennsylvania, so TO prevent Greeleyis
that ii they can prevent Greeley's nomination
on the first ballot they can beat him and secure
a straight-out nomination. This scheme is not
favored by more than twenty delegates, although
the best posted men say IL will not be attempted
at all, Greeley's nomination on the first ballot lie
so well assured.
THE QUESTION WHICH SEEMS uPPERMosr
II whether the Cincinnati nominees will be
simply endorsed or nominated regularly. The
endorsing element comes mostly from Ohio,
Pennsy ania and Missouri, but nine tenths of
the people favor their nomination. George w
Cass is propose d for permanent president, as a
eoncl iatlon 20 the Pennsyiyanians. jefferson
Randolph or John B. Baldwin, of Virginia, will
probably getthe temporary Craftsmanship.

Mr. GreeIey,s Will.

Opinions In New York Is conflict
ing as to the probable result Of the
lawsuit IN regard to the two wills
left by Mr.. Greeley. Some predict q
long legal contest, but this seems IN.
likely. The last will was not wit
messed until an hour previous to Mr..
Greeley's death, az which moment he
was questioned, and is said to have
answered nationally. That the last
will was written by Mr.. Greeley when
partially deranged, Is not disputed BY
those best able TO judge. The first
will, made nearly two years ago, is :

Then with The ''GOOd night" kiss she crep:

His fingers trembled as he sighed, MY pIe.
