s,renotb of the Liberal Republican movement in
that State The call for State Convention TO select
deIegotes TO the Cincinnati Convention has Already
been prepared, and is said to be an unusually strong
| document. 1t is signed by great number OF tho
| founders of tho Republican party in Illinois, in
Ird;po with but one or two exceptions all the Lin
colin electors in 1860 and the Republican State OIL
GERS chosen mt that time.
Events of the past two or three days have greatly
encouraged tho Liberal Republican leaders in this
citv and they are more confident and hopeful than
at any previous time. Senator Trumbull has, within
day or two, given his friends positively to under
stand that he should support the Cincinnati nomi-
nee and prominent Ilinoi,ans say that the State
can be carried for that nominee by an overwhelming
maiority. Senator Fenton, who was in New-Y York
during the curly part of the week. speaks very hope
fnlv for the Liberal cause in that State THE TRB
UNE's announcement of its intended course during
the coming campaign has been the almost universal
theme of discussion, yesterday and to-day. The

Senator Fenton, though in full sympathy with the
movement, will be unable to attend.
The Administration has prepared mine to ex-
plode beneath Senator Schurz, his arrival in New
York TO- morrow morning and they hope that 1t will
blow him "sky high" and entirely destroy the
effect of his speech ut the Cooper Institute. The
Washington correspondent Of The Missouri Democrat
and Ch;oaqo Inter Ocean, whose dispatches are
dropped from the wires at New-York and printed In
the Administration organ in that city, has been
ransackng the Fifth Auditors office, and casting up
tbe columns of the unclosed accOunts OF Mr.. Schurz
while he was Minister to Spain. In these accounts
he thinks he finds deficiency due the Government
of about $4,000 This discovery will OF course be
printed in the largest of type and distorted to prove
the Missouri Senator a defaulterj but the Hon.
Jacob H. Ella, the Fifth Auditor OF the Treasury De-
partment. has pricked the bubble by admitting, in
conversation this evening, his belief that, II the
account was entirely posted up and balanced "
