and Wisconsin It was voted 60 supper
Adams solidlv. Add the Indiana vote, an
Adams would be nominated on an earl
ballot; but up to this hour the vote Of tha
State stands divided for President, but
solid for Julian for Vice President. Tn
result is that Adams, Davis and Greeley re
main prominently before the convention
with nearly equal strength, and that Trum

Hon. Hamen Bal publishes the following
letter privately addressed to him by y,
Chief Justice Chase.
WASHINGTON, April 8, I872.-My Deal
MIR. Ball: was delighted to receive youl
letter, and to have your assurance thai you
are well again. My convictions are the
same as yours, that sickness rightly i'm
| proved is among the greatest blessings OuE
heavenly Father vOuchsafes TO us. 1t re-
suits from sin and stimulates TO duty.
gratefully thank God for sickness. My
! views as TO the proposed Cincinnati Con.
vention which you ask for, are not very
clear. Ny impression is that they ought to
indicate their preferences, at least perhaps
to nominate. They should act go as to insure
Democratic cooperation. You ask whether
/ would under any circumstances accept a
nomination. answer that | should not de
cline, but do not seek 1t. Hthe nomination
is thought by those entitled to Judge, that
it is the best means of uniting the friends
of reform and amnesty, whether Repnbli-
cans or Democrats, shall have no right to
decline it. Ifnot, do not want 1t.
Faithfully, your friend,
S.P. CHASE.

Senator FentOn has certainly departed

ed on this sudden move.
The quantity of special dispatches from
this city during the past few days has been
without precedent in the history Of tele-
graphing. Eighty thousand words were
sent yesterday from the Western Union Of
flee by special correspondents yesterday In
relation to the Convention.
The Tariff Question.
THERE'S still anxiety among the friends Of
the Liberal movement in relation to the
tariff plank In the platform. Last night the
prospect for an understanding. was dark.
To-day there was growing feeling that the
Convention would decline to
declare itself on this question,
but would leave It to the people of the
districts to settle in accordance with Mr..
Greeley's understood wishes. The refor-
mers in revenue say tonight that if Greeley
IS not nOmins ed they would accept the
New York proposition to remand the whole
business TO the peopls. If Greeley should
be nominated they gay they will insist
on declaration as explicit as the New
York call. There Is a strong feeling that
the difference will be safely bridged.
