Notes from Washington.
| Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial
| WASHINGTON, June Hon. Henry
Sherwood, Representative of the Eighteenth
District of PENNSYLVANIA, has just returned
| from a visit to his home, where he spent
some time informing himself upon the
political situation. His district is COM
posed OF Center, Clinton, LycOming,
! Potter and Tioga counties, being the
northern tier of the State. The dis.
trict went Democratic for the first time
| when it elected Mr.. Sherwood to Congress,
and has been regarded as one Of the surest
Republican districts in the State. Mr..
! Sherwood says sqhat fully one third' of the
| Republicans OF the counties Of Susquehan-
IA, Bradford, Tioga and Potter, all being
strongly in favor Of that party, have already
| announced themselves for Greeley. He
was also at the Reading Convention, and
by careful count satisfied himself that
| considerably more than half of the delega-
| ton TO the Baltimore Convention from that
| State would sustain the nominations made
| at Cincinnati.
Hon. E. F. Pillsbury, Of Augusta, who
| has been three times the nominee of the
Democrats of Maine for Governor Of that
| State, has written letter to a member Of
| Congress asking him to use what influence
he possessed to secure the ratification Of the
| Cincinnati nominations by the Baltimore
| Convention. He says: "The Democracy
| of Maine are unit, SO far as l can learn,
| in favor Of the Liberal ticket a. Baltimore.
If Greeley and Brown are adopted at Bal
/ timore harmonionsly, we shall see perfect
storm of enthusiasts; but if rejected,
storm of indignation from our people and
a general collapse of the party"
