WASHINGTON. April 3O.-The following i,
gathered from various kilograms from Gin
cinnati: The convention will assemble al
II o'clock on Wednesday and secure tenn
pOrary organization. Four delegates al
large from each State, and two from each
congressional district will be admitted and
furnished tickets as delegates.
All the Southern delegates held a confer
,ence last evening to consider the subject OF
the permanent chairman of the cOnven
ton. 1t was unanimously resolved that
Carl Schurz was the man most fitted to pre-
side over its deliberations.
Mr.. Schurz made a half hours speech at
Turner Hall last evening". 1t was crowded
to excess. He denied the accusation that
he had boosted of carrying the German
vote in his pocket, etc. He never said.
never mad thought it. Germans expressed
honest convictions, and were capable of ex-
pressing them through the ballot. Did he
carry the German ballots in his pocket, he
would treasure them up against the day of
reckoning that was coming for the corrupt
officials now in power.
Private and press kilograms from Cincin-
natl allude particularly to a condition of
great excitement over the nomination. The
friends of Davis, Adams and Trumbull are
working with the most intense earnestness,
and it is adjudged by some of the special
reports that now is the critical time of the
convention. The Tribune special dated
yesterday says there is the usual angry
&,1I fnv TO- Il
tiOnal conventions, and always all the
angrier in proportion to the general faith
In the intrinsic strength Of the party; that
unless the demands of certain sections or
certain beliefs are gratifed, they will go
home by the next train.
There is the usual declaration that the
votes of certain States are absolutely essen
gtial to success, and that these can not be
secured without the most overwhelming
concessions; that this or that interest must
be conciliated, to avoid the certainty of dis
aster; that this or that candidate can walk
over the track, while another, urged by
others with equal vehemence, could not
carry an electoral vote.
The World dispatch says Davis is thought
by many to be in the ascendant, and a
special to the Washington Star to-day,
says: "There is every indication OF the nOmi-
nation of Davis on the first ballot, or the
alternative of row. The Pennsylvania
delegation will withdraw Curtin as second
on the ticket at Cincinnati"
at a general meeting Of THE Illinois dele
cation to the Liberal Republican COnven-
ton this afternoon the following committee
was appointed to recommend permanent
delegates to the convention for Judge
Davis: Hon. Leonard Sweet, Writ Dexter,
A. Gridley, ID. r. Fairbanks. For Gov
ernOr Palmer-E. w. Haines, Richard
Route, E. w. Edwards, M. B. Brown. For
Mr. NATURALIZATION Governor
KOerner, 0. NJ. Hatch, Isaac Reyas, Will
liam Jaynes. The meeting was large and
somewhat excited. 1t was claimed that
some of the committee had not been closely
identified with the movement.
The World special says that General
almbOden has sent a very strong letter here
from Virginia, by Franklin Stearns. in
which he reviews the political prospect in
the South, and estimates the success of the
Liberal ticket should Horace Greeley be the
nominee. General Imboden believes that
Greeley would get all the old Wing vote in
the South, and nearly the whole native
white voting population.
The New York Herald correspondent tele-
graphs under yesterdays date, there is very
little consultation IN this city as to what
Pennsylvania has to say about either the
platform or the candidates. 1t would ap-
pear that that State has passed in great
part out of the political estimate, and it is
regarded as not reliable either for a Liberal
Republican, for Grant man or for Dem
OCrat.
Brigham, Morehead and a dozen other
Pennsylvanians have been off for several
days, and a huge Mcclure delegation is ex-
pected tonight. The whole tone of the
convention is against Mcclure, Fenton and
WarmOth as interlopers and tradesmen, and
they probably will not be invited to the
more respectable councils of the party.
WarmOth's friends have endeavered to
press him for the permanent craftsmanship,
but, up to this time, without encourage
ment from any side.
1t is now believed that no candidate for
the Presidency will be upon the step ex-
scept Mr.. Cox, who does not consider him
self a candidate, but could not refuse in
case be should be nominated, in the event
of q failure to choose some of the more
prominent candidates. He does not want
TO be chairman.
The Governor of Missouri would I'M
dOubtedly take the nomination of the tenn
pOrary Craftsmanship, and appoint the com
mittee on organization. This committee
will retire and bring in the names of pre-
siding officer and secretary.
The stage will be filled with the most
eminent men of the Liberal movement from
all parts of the country.
There will be a hot contest over the plat
form, but it is noticeable that the most emf
nent traders are not stcklers for the
offensive plank, while some of the newest
converts of free trade threaten to leave
unless protection is denounced as an eco
.nOmical and political swindle.
The same diversity of opinion seems to
exist as to the craftsmanship of the cOnven-
ton that characterizes the ideas respecting
its nominations.
The Times of yesterday on this subject
says, after mentioning WarmOth, FentOn
and Schurz, Governor Bradford of Mary
land, Is to have been agreed upon as per
manent chairman. The same telegram saws
Hon. Henry r. Seldom, of New York, will
probably be seized upon as presiding officer
or used in some way that his name may be
made serviceable to his associates, and in
addition there is an unreliable rumOI ahOat
tonight that Judge Chase is to be brought
forward as a compromise candidate. 1t is
4Iudoubted that there is considerable fright
at the strength Davis is developing, and
saveral COMPROMISES are talked Of; among
Others General Cox and Governor Palmer.
CNCINNATI, April 30.-The day has been
one of excitement, so far as candidates are
concerned. There is chaos, though it APP
Bears quite evident since noon that the
feeling in favor of Mr.. Greeley for the first
place has been increasing. The delegation
from New York has received reinfOrcements
from other quarters in favor Of their favor
lite. The general idea among candidates
indicates growth in this direction. New
York has decided to stand by him in
definitely for the first place.
Missouri to-day, at q meeting of dele
gates, declared for Gratz Brown for the
6rst choice, and when it was suggested
