WASHINGTON, June 3.-The conference
committee on the tax tariff bill meet
again this morning and will propably
conclude their action during the day, 50
a report can be made Tuesday morning.
1t is probable that Senators Conkling
and Carpenter will make speeches in
reply to Sumner and Schurz during the
session Of the ensuing week.
1t is the general belief that the House
will on Tuesday take recess until Fri
day, for the purpose Of allowing the
members TO attend the Republican Con-
vention at Philadelphia, and it is proba-
BILE the Senate will do but little business
during the sitting Of the Convention.
A great number of members OF both
houses will attend in person, portion
of them as delegates.
About twenty colored delegates to
the Philadelphia Convention called on
Senator Sumner yesterday to pay their
respects. In q conversation on the po-
litical situation, they said the men in the
South who had opposed and oppressed
the colored people and had stood out
against impartial suffrage, civil rights
and other questions affecting their race
we're all in favor of the election of
Greeley to the Presidency, and they did
not think it their duty to go with their
oppressors, even for the sake Of voting
for Greeley.
The representatives Of holders of the
Alabama claims now in Washington are

CHICAGO, June 3-Yesterday after
noon q body of Bohemian Turner's were
having a picnic at Silver Leaf Grove,
near the western city limits, when lot
of houghs from the city put in an ap.
pearance and attempted to effect an en-.
trance without paying. Being repulsed
at the gate, they attempted to scale the
fence, and were met by the Turner's with
clubs. A general warfare Of bricks and
stones set in, and number were
wounded with these missiles. Peace
was restored, however, upon the arrival
of the police.

MOVING ON.

On Wednesday the office-holders will
assemble in Philadelphia and go through
the formality of nominating q. s. Grant
for reelection to the Presidency twill
be q tame affair, because a matter oil
course. No excitement gathers about
it, and no speculation will bring zest to
the occasion. 1t will be cold, formal
assemblage of office-holders, ofiice-seek-
ers, carpet-baggers, big fellows, little fell
lows, bond-holders, bankers, turfmen,
those that have been whitewaslfed, those
that have been pardoned, and, the rest
1t will be so easy to get through with the
labors. Nobody will be in danger of
sunstroke, for nobody will be excited.
The ruby" will flow, Of course, but that
article will make no impression on the
cold, clammy natures that will make up
the Convention. They are too sharp for
that. There is something in prospect,
and they will never slumber while it is
unattained. And this collection of men
is supposed to represent the people,
What mockeryl The country will not
be there. The great heart Of the nation
will be absent. There will be no enthu
siasm, no. shouting and throwing up of
hats. Where there is no opposition, it
would look ridiculous. Perchance when
the vote is announced feeble cheer
may go up from few who wish to sig
nalize their devotion to the nominee.
Meantime the people from Maine to the
Rio Grande are moving for Greeley and
Brown, the country's candidates. Re-
publicans, once the pillars of the admin
istration party, are on the war path, and
boldly announce their utilization with
Democrats. Men who made jest of
the candidacy Of Greeley have come to
look rs sober as judges Men whose first
impulse was to curse Greeley for the
past, and to pour their broadsides into
him, have discovered that, bad as he has
been, they must choose between him and
Grant. This is a predcament. 1t is
difficult to understand how Democrat
can support Grant when his disgraceful
administration has driven the best men
Of the Republican party out of its ranks.
What ambitious Democrat desires to
step into their shoes and wear their faded
liyery2 We find it difficult to believe
that the Democracy will not, in body
and with shout, flock to the standard
of Greeley. What Baltimore may do, is
uncertain, but whatever it shall, the
Greeley movement has gone too far to
be affected by it.

LANES GORDON BENNETT.

In the death Of James Gordon Ben.
nett, proprietor of the New York Herald,
the newspaper world loses one of its
chief ornaments. The Herald has been
for many years the most successful
newspaper in the world The only other
paper that might contend for the palm
of success is the London Times. Per
haps the Times is the richer Of the two,
and worth more money, but as a newspa-
per, it is not only inferior to the Herald,
but to several American papers. Ben
nett was never popular. In fact he was
odious to a great class, but they never
theless bought his paper. 1t was always
filed with news, and went strong on the
sensational. 1t never had any politics
except those of the winning party. 1t
could snuff the course of the political
currents and invariably followed them.
1t pandered to the popular taste, no
matter what that was. 1t was never
considered moral paper, and was more
popular with the fancy than with doctors
of divinity. Bennett himself was not
regarded as a Christian in former years.
Little has been heard Of him for some
time past His later years, given to the
retirement that age and its infrmities
make necessary, may have been devoted
to matters more serious than those of
earth.

whitemore HQuse-A Hotel and n
Home.

The immediate head lines very prop
erly present the appointments of this
excellent establishment; in fact, it is
what its proprietor assumes it to be-a
hostelry where the comforts and con-
veniences of the former are enjoyed,
with the quiet and retirement of the lat
ter. Retired in its location, it is yet suffi-
ciently convenient to the chief streets
and business centers to accommodate
the ready and easy access of its patrons
to these thoroughfares.
The proprietor, Colonel y. Fl. White
more, one of the cloth, is ever at his
post untiring in his efforts to contribute
to the ease and comfort of his guests,
while his clever and CANAL assistant,
VIM. H. E. Lindstedt, ci-diUant soldier
of the Confederacy, is ubiquitous in
presence, and fights as CALAMITY in the
earnest performance of his varied and
arduous duties as erst he did in uphold
ing the now trailed banner of the Lost
Cause. The servants are polite and at
tentive, and the fare not inferior to that
of other hotels Wanting much larger
pretensions. In evidence of the supe-
riority of its cuisine, the proprietor &C
commodities large proportion of gen.
tlemen Of the cloth visiting the city.
Now it has been shrewdly suspected, if
not remotely intimated, by some irrev-
erent scribbler that gentlemen of this
profession are somewhat epicurean in
their tastes, and not altogether unmind-
full of the promptings of the appetite
the delcacies of the table. Be this as
it may, it is certain they gravitate to this
hospitable establishment with the regu-
larify of the spheres-the certainty of
destiny. But this is enough, emanating
from one speaking from experience.

The primary election for delegates to
the convention is beginning to stir up
discussion among the friends Of the re-
spective candidates. The district and
ward precinct judges, clerks, etc.,
have been selected by the execu-
tive committee. 1t is Democratic
election, and Radicals Of neither
color are expected to participate;
but if any should be permitted to
vote, the blacks should have the prefer
ence. The following resolution, adopted
by the executive committee, is most i'm
portant, in suggesting change in con-
ventional programmes, that, to all ap.
pearances, seems to be unobjectionable,
and will, in all probability, be adopted
by the convention.
Fourth--That after organization has
been perfected, the convention proceed
to nominate, by general ballot, that is,
each delegate expressing his choice for
Sheriff, for County Tax Collector, Coun-
ty Trustees, Privilege Tax Collector,
and for Chancellor of the Second Chan
Gerry Court at the same time on his
ticket or ballot
The two following resolutions are
indicative of the right spirit:
Resolved, That the chairman appoint
committee of FIVE, whose duty it shall
be to call upon each candidate for NOM
ination in the convention to assemble on
the Goth of June inst, and get their sig
nature to a pledge in the following
language, to.wit: 1--WE, and each of us,
do hereby pledge ourselves to not only
abide by the nominations made in said
convention, but to vote for and support
each and every nominee there selected.
Resolved, That before ballot is taken,
a resolution be adopted, on call of the
yeas and nays, pledging each delegate
to vote for aud support each and every
nominee chosen by the convention; and
that the lowest candidate for each office
after the third ballot, be dropped on
each subsequent ballot, and so on each
ballot thereafter until nomination is
effected, or the number of candidates for
any Office is reduced to two.

RRcnMIHG SERIOUS

The dispute between Grants admins
tration and England is becoming serious
The last news is to the effect that the
Granville Ministry object to the phrase
ology of the reciprocal rule proposed by
the Senate for Withdrawing the indirect
claims, and settling the principle in
cluded in them between the two coun-
tries. They seem to think that the
claims are merely waived from the Amer
lean case. and are not absolutely with.
drawn. This government looks on the
claims for indirect losses as entirely
abandoned, and cannot see how the En-.
glish Ministry can place any other pos
sibIe construction on the terms of the
supplemental article. General SchencL
has been notified that nothing NOR,
need be expected in the way Of con
cessisn or compromise. The tenor o
the Ministry's views is that some mod
feations must be msde-that is the stu
alton 50 far as can be learned in Wash
ington.

The Sharpshooters' Club Of Memphis,
composed of our best amateur shots
has challenged the Nashville Club to
engage in shooting match, to come of
in this city, for the championship Of the
State and a silver cup valued at one
hundred and fifty dollars. Should the
Nashville gentlemen agree to the propo-
sition, our citizens will have an opportu.
nifty of witnessing some magnificent
shooting. Being enthusiastic on the
subject Of shooting, reminds one Of the
recent lecture delivered in New York
City by the celebrated Dominican orator
and preacher, Father Tom Burke, whose
praises are sounded by the New York
press, which asserts that the Dominican
y the most eloquent man Of his day.
In describing the duel between Daniel
0'Connell and De Esterre, near Dublin,
ireland, the lecturer stated that 0'Con-
nell lifted his pistol with apparent care
lessness, but threw his quick, gray eye
after it. Two reports, almost stimuli
taneous, were heard. o Cornell remained
standing; De Esterre fell mortally
wounded. Major Mcnamara, a Pro
testant gentleman and renowned duelist,
came up, and grasping 0'Connel's
hand, exclaimed enthusiastically. By
heavens Dan, it is the neatest shot that
was ever made. IL ever | am to meet
my man l hope, if he strikes me at all,
he will do it neatly. 1t is almost an
honor to be hit so eleyerly.'

Irish, druggist, and Mrs. Anderson,
were arrested yesterday on the charge Of
having caused the death of Ed. Ander-
son, formerly internal revenue assessor
and husband of the latter, by poisoning.
They were arrested on an affidavit Of
the father of the deceased that Ander-
son had been made victim to his wife S
hatred. An examination of the stom-
ach and intestines of the deceased
showed the presence of large quantity
of clear, unadulterated arsenic. DR..
Irish had during his illness certified that
death was caused by acute gastrites,
whereupon the remains had been inferred
at Yonkers. The accused will probably
have hearing this morning.

mittee, which spent so much time not
long ago to investigate the abuses in the
New York Custom-house, and the at
tendant infamy of tie General Order
business, will make no report during this

the reason urged, but better one IS
found in the fact that the majority OF
the committee do not care to submit a
report, and thus give the minority an
opportunity to report, for the latter doc
ument would be an sgly one in the can
vass against Grant.
