WASHINGTON
The Anti-Grant movement.

New York, January 27.-The
Herald's Washington dispatch says
a convention of disconnected Re-
publicans is to be held in Cincinnati
Immediately after the Philadelphia
Convention, and it will prepare both
ticket and platform for the Demo-
cratic party. The Democratic Con-
vention will net be held until late in
the Summer, and then one to ratify
the work of the disseminated Repub-
icans. An effort will be made to
nominate Mr.. Trumbull by the re-
calcitrants. The faction fights of
the Republicans are expected to be
a strong element in CARRYING doubt
full States.
Washington, January 27.-Con-
gress has ended the third week of
the session since the recess without
accomplishing a single important
legislative result in fact, the most
important matter which has been
disposed of by either house has been
the decision of the Senate yester-
day, that the House cOncurring, the
Senate will adjourn on the 29th of
May. This action simply confirms
the statement, made previously,
that Congress does not intend to do
any business outside the necessary
routine-such as the passage of the
appropriation bills, etc. There is
but little reason to doubt the con-
currence of the House in this ad-
journment resolution.
Clayton.
1t is rumored that the leading Re-
publicans of Arkansas, including
Snyder, the only Republican mem
Der of the House of Representatives,
have Joined in a request TO Senator
Clay ton TO resign his office. As this
is apparently the only way of eseap-
ing expulsion, it is probable that
Clayton will adopt it.

The Missouri Movement.
The platform adopted by the lib

State Convention, held in Missouri,
IS looked upon with considerable
favor by Conservatives and Demo

around which may concentrate all

election OF Grant.

The announcement that the Dem

cans who supported the Missouri
policy and its programme for unit

The VIes-PFesIdency.
Among the Republicans, the latest

OF Grant than the old ticket shall be
renOminated, but Mr.. Wilson's
friends propose TO publish Mr.. Col

reasons why he should not run again
