The Drift Of Opinion In Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 8.
An intense Interest prevailed here during
to. day with reference to events at Cincinnati:
not only In executive and legislative circles,
but throughout the city Inquiries were con-
stantly made as to the latest intelligence from
the convention. The progress of the ballot
ing seemed to add, If possible, to the excite
ment everywhere, the news spreading With re-
markable rapidity. Those In the executive
departments heard 1t ct about the came time
that 1t was known In Congress- The tele-
grams announcing the nomination of Horace
Greeley. as q candidate for the Presidency
were received with surprise, as previous
private kilograms foreshadowed a different
result.
The news of the nomination Interrupted for
some time the proceedings OF the House,
members gathering in front of the speakers
desk to hear the latest Intelligence. There
were similar exhibitions In the Senate while
Mr.. Casaerly was speaking. That gentleman,
referring to the i%nattentlon to business, moved
that an adjournment take place until the Gin
cinnati Convention was over. The excite
ment subsidized. with the announcement Of
Gratz Brown as the candidate for Vlce-Presi-
dent.
Tonight gentlemen of all parties are dis
cussing the effect OF the proceedings of the
convenuon'on the public mind. Various opin-
ions are expressed as to the chances OF the
Liberal Republican ticket, and the Democratic
Congressman are cautious in their utterances
and not disposed to commit themselves. The
prevailing idea is that Grant ls done for. In q
discussion among some prominent politicians
tonight 1t was conceded that for a long time
past the South has had no better friend than
Horace Greeley, who has denounced, In bitter
terms, the corruption of the carpet.bag gov.
ernments, and sincerely lamentedthe fate Of
South Carolina. He will be supported by the
greater part of the West, as well as New York
and New England, and the South will, doubt
legs, prefer Greeley and Brown to any other
ticket.
A Hearty Response from Virginia.
RICHMOND, Va, May 8.
The newspaper bulletins were surrounded
with crowds all the afternoon, eager for the
news from Cincinnati. The announcement Of
the nomination of Greeley and Brown gives
very general satisfaction to the Conservatives
and Liberal Republicans, who think it the
strongest ticket that could have been selected.
The State Journal, the administration paper,
thinks Greeley the most vulnerable man that
the Liberals could have nominated.

WILMINGTON, N. c., May 8.

fore the Cincinnati Convention, with the ex.
ception, perhaps, OF Judge Davis.
