tations held in Washington with a view
OF Withdrawing Grants name from the
Philadelphia Convention. Mr.. Blaine,
upon noticing in Washington disposi-
ton on the part of the Grant leaders to
change the Philadelphia programme,
at once came to this city to consult sew
eral Grant managers, and get the ears
of the small, but influential, Grant
clique in New York. There can be no
doubt that inside the regular Republican
party movement is on foot to drop
Grant at Philadelphia, and substitute
civilian at Washington. Leaders like
Morton, Carpenter, Conkling and Cam
eron have been taken by surprise at
the immense attendance at Cincinnati,
which was demonstrated to them in
facts which they cannot ignore, the
formidable extent of the Liberal Re.

knows no bounds, and whose tact is
second to none in Congress, took advan-
tage Of thisstate Of feeling in Washing

what could be done. 1t is said that be

on the situation, and confident that il a

A Liberal REPUBLICAN correspond
ent at Washington thus sketches the
Radical carpet-bag Senator from Ar.
kansas, Mr.. Powell Clayton. he says
Immediately behind Brownlow sits
an erect military-looking individual,
not over thirty.six or thirly-eigbt from
appearance, with whiskers la Napo
leon. Whether from the use some
capillary exterminator, or from the tre
mendous humping Of his mighty brain
against the dome OF thought, Powell
Clayton, for that is his name, is just q
tribe bald enough for Senatorial pur'
poses. BY his side bangles an empty
Sleeve, which entities him to some sym.
pathy. The arm it contained was lost
in some jsyhawking or taken of by a
steel trap in somebody's smoke house
History does not tell us which. Clay,
ton is the carpet. bagger par excellence,
is the most odorous of that sweet
scented body of patriots. According to
reliable witnesses he is guilty Of every
crime in the Arkansas statutes, and
several not therein recorded. He has
been openly accused of them; and
months ago, to stop the claInorings OF
the people "a committee was appointed to
investigate the charges. Enough is
known to have been developed to justify
his immediate expulsion. Yet from all
indications, it is his intention to hold
back until adjournment forever cuts of
further investigation. So Clayton
holds his seat, or pretends TO, for bis
chair is usually empty. Its occupant
is generally to be seen in the lobbies, OF
down in theres,aurant. He comes in to
vote whenever q partisan measure j;
before the Senate and the party whiE
cracks the Republicans into line.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May ll.-lne 1rou"e
Washington special says: There Is
evidently a hope Of an early adjourn
ment Of Congress and the abandonment
of the tariff bill now pending in the
House. Judging from the slow pro-
gress made with the bill, it will take
till the lst of July to pass it through
the House. A fortnight would be a
short time foy the Senate to act upon it,
and another week would be consumed
in harmonizing the disagreeing votes OF
the two Houses. The decree for ad.
ournment before the Philadelphia
Convertion assemblies, meets with so
strong appreciation that it is probable
the tariff bill will be declined, and a
short measure of tariff and tax reduc-
ton crowded through by suspension OF
the rules on Monday. In view of this
course, most members are predicting
an adjournment on the 4th Of June.
Consequential Damages.
Correspondence is still progressing
between the United States and Great
Britain regarding tae consequential
damages, but the prospect OF an ar
rangement is unsatisfactory, although
it lie not admitted in official quarters
that the treaty has failed.
Liquor Take TO be Consolidated.
A movement is on foot in Congress
to consolidate all the taxes on liquor,
including the tax on rectifed spirits.
1t is proposed to place the tax at some'
where between eighty cents and one
dollar per gallon. The scheme is ap'
proved by the revenue officials gem
orally.
The Currency Bill.
1t is probable that the bill providing
for the calling in of gold and the issue
of new national currency notes will
come up on Monday. Should this bill
become law, it is understood that all
denominations Of these notes will be
dissimilar in general appearance. This
difference will be made so as to prevent
the changing OF the numbers of any
note to represent lhese OF more valu-
able one.
Using the Knife.
A difficulty occurred this afternoon
between Gen. A. c. Jones, correspond
ent Of the Alabama State Journal, and
Mr.. Calvin Sayres, of the same State,
in which both were severely, if not
fatally injured, both being stabbed in
several places. Sayres is badly cut in
the throat and breast, and Jones had
his wrist broken and was severely cut
in the arm, breast and head.
And the Pistol.
A difficulty occurred at Macon, Ga,
on Wednesday, between Mr.. Water
man, editor of the Home Journal. and
Mr.. Hancock, editor of the Georgia
Democrat, of Houston, Ga, in which the
former was shot and dangerously
wounded.
The recent decision Of the Supreme
Conrt relative to refuuding the tax on
salaries does no! apply to the officers OF
the navy.
1t is stated on good authority that
President Grant has no thought Of
resigning his chances for denomination
at Philadelphia. He is in the hands OF
the Republican party, and it must be
left to the delegates to decide in the
Convention whether or not he will be
rpnominated

While we think the nomination OF q

and Vice President, would be inoppor-

In the event of no regular Democratic

Terse and Vigorous Words About

From the Moundsville National, Rep
The nomination OF Horace Greeley
for the Presidency is as visionary a
project az his theories on pig iron. If
Greeley had his deserts to-day, he
would be hanging by the neck to a
lamp post in the streets OF New York.
The nomination Of Horace Greeley
for the Presidency is the most absurd
move ever made on the chess-board Of
politics. Greeley's programme will not
touch bottom. The people of these
United States do not want man TOR
President who would steal his Yankee
honest () pennies off dead mans
ewes.
