NEW YORK CITY.

New York, July 3O.+-Arrived-Rus
sia, from Liverpool. u.4 ~. y
T A Herald dispatch received from Char
lptte, N. O., says that while Senator
Schurz was addressing u meeting there
Yesterday the alarm OF fire was raised
Smoke was immediately alterward seen
issuing from an unoccupied house in the
heart Of the city. The meeting had to
cease for few minutes; the crowd dis
persed in wild excitement, but the fire
was extinguished. The crowd soon raj,
lied, however, and the speech was
resumed. A negro was heard few
moments before the alarm to say that he
could kill and burn as well as any Ku.
Klux, and thus. speaking, left the crowd.
The fire was plainly the result oil incen.
diarism. Subsequently IAN investigation
by the Mayor traced the fire to the negro,
who had, in the meantime, taken flight.
A Raleigh dispatch to the Times says
that it was announced last Saturday that
the names OF 200 Republicans had been
marked for challenge there, and yester.
day it transpired that 0S3 names out OF q
voting population of 1,1S0, were marked
for challenge in the town Of Kingston,
Lenoir county. This number included
some Democrats. The object of the chal-
lenging seems to be to prevent full vote.
The Republican Committee had sent ,rnesI
sages throughout the State calling upon
the Republicans to assert their rights and
vote.
A Utica dispatch says that President
Grant arrivedithere at eight o'clock this
morning and will be given a public re-
ception. He will be the guest Of Senator
Conkling until Thursday night, when he

AS soon as the vote was cast, and be-
fore it could be announced, the Daniord
men all over the hall sprang to their feet
and began yelling like Comanches, thus
announcing to the people in the street
that a choice had been reached. Over
and over again they cheered and swung
their hats. The enthusiasm was electric.
The Bingham men felt pretty sore, but
they could not resist the contagious good
feeling. One Of them jumped up and
moved the nomination be made unanl-
nous. The Chair tried to get order, so
that ho might announce the vote, but the
delegates rushed to the windows and set
up a cry for DAnford. This was kept up
some time, when finally order was sufll.
GENTLY restored to permit the announce.
ment that Capt. Dantord having received
a majority Of the votes of the Convention,
was duly nominated as the Republican
candidate for Congress in the 10th dis.
trict.
A delegate from Harrison said H&rri,
son was entitled 70 the honor Of moving
that the nomination be made unanimous.
The Chair put the motion and it was
ratified with yocilerous cheers and with.
out dissenting voice.
A delegate moved that q Committee of
one from each delegation be appointed to
notify Capt. Danlord of his nomination.
Another cried HE knows itln 80
A few minutes later Capt Danford
escorted by several friends appeared at
tho rear of the hall. This was the signal
for renewal of the applause, and for a
few seconds the cheering was uproarious
The Capt, came forward amid cries. Of
"speech!" and being invited upon the
stage by the Chairman was grehted with
fresh volley Of yells. sf

HARMONIOUS RESULTS.

A large number Of the delegates TO the
Republican Convention oI the 10th Ohio
district, which met yesterday ut Bellaire,
were in attendance the night before. The
contest wasa hot one, and the delegates
came together full oil zeal for heirrespec.
tive champions. Monday night and
yesterday morning to the ehour ofmeet-
ing was spent in laboriOus logrolling with
the delegates from the doubtful counties
or rather with the doubtful delegates.
Harrison was known to be solid for Bing.
ham; Belmont solid for Danford, Jelfer.
son divided between Bingham and Upde-
graft; Guernsey divided between all three
Noble divided between Bingham and
Danlord. The result depended on just
how Noble and Guernsey would divide,
or on what the UpdegratI men in Jeiier-
sou would do alter the first ballot. The
Danlord men figured out 81 votes for
Bingham on the first ballot, 55 being re.
Quired to nominate, and these It was
feared he would get from tho Updegralf
ranks in Jefferson. So the Dantord men
were dubious, while the Bingham men
were confident. This seemed to be the
prevalent feeling when the convention
met.
Mr.. Bingham, Dr.. UpdegratE and Capt.
DantOrd were all in town, in constant
communication with their friends. The
Doctors friends based their chief expec.
tatons on the hope that the fight would
be 500 close and protractcd between the
friends Of Bingham and Dantord that they
would after while weary Of the contest
and finally compromise on him.
