THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.

1t will be seen from our special and press
dispatches that after two days session, the
Great Reform Convention has not yet
built platform upon which the conflict
ing interests can stand. The prospect IS
that the Free Traders and Protectionists
will bury theirhatchetS and allow the Con-
ventiCn to adjotrn without tariff plank.
If so, it will put upon the political stage
the play Of Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
AS to the candidates, it is now evident the
contest will be bitter and the nominees be
chosen by means of bargains and plots.
The Convention haslost all its moral effect
by this delay and tn, want of harmony
and all absence of the trus spirit of reform.
Nothing but extraordinary lack can now
save it from the hugest political farce of
the age.

Nashville, at II o'clock Tuesday morning
The forenoon was devoted to religious

sented by Rev. J. Howard Smith and w.
NJ: Baxter, Esq, lay delegate

WHO WILL BE NOMINATED.
Greeley Gaining Strength.

CINCINNTI, April 3O.-To-day has been
one of excitement. So far as the candi-
dates are concerned there is chaos, though
it appears quite evident since noon that
the feeling in favor of Greeley for the
first place is increasing. The delegation
from New York has received reinforce
ments from other quarters in favor
of their favOrite, and the general
talk among the delegates indicate
growing strength in this direction. New
York has decided to stand by him indeti-
niteIy for the chief place.
Part of the Massachusetts delegation fa-
vOrs Greeley. He will probably be the
second choice of the entire New England
delegation. The Southern delegations are
largely for Greeley, but ready to go for
anybody except Trumbull, whom they
denounce for abiding to them as traitors
in his Cooper Institute speech.
The Louisville Commercial special of
the 1st says:
My conviction is that no candidate yet
named can possibly unite majority of the
convention. If nomination is made, it
will be of a new man-One not damaged
by the discussions of the past fOrty-eight
hours.
The simon pure Democracy will not ac-
cept the nominees Of this convention. |
think that point is settled beyond con-
trOversy.

civil service reform which this COnven-
ton is expected to make.
He proposes to support DAVIS II. Davis
is the winning man, and then all Dem
Ocratic candidates for State offices and
Congress in turn, for which he bargains
for Democratic support for member of the
Pennsylvania Legislature, nominated by
Liberal Republicans, which will result,
as he hopes, in placing him in the Sen
ate in place of Cameron. This Is his
game.
The Illinois delegation have the tiercest
time. Long John Wentworth, of Chica-
go, got scared over Davis chances and he
telegraphed as follows to Chicago:
belmont is here working like hell for
Adams. Send the boys quick or all Is
LOST
This started off the Davis boys, with
SWEET at their head.
A correspondent says in reviewing the
Adams chances:
Adams, you know, is a cool man. 1t

of his first meeting with Adams, My

what the Banner-AyaIanChe Party Will
Do.
We find the following significant special
in the Nashville Banner of the LIST. 1t
would seem from this that the Cincinnati
movement is making divisions in the
Democratic instead of the Republican
party in Tennessee. Here is the pro-
gramme as sent from Cincinnati
The Provisional Committee of the Liz
eral Republican party and prominent orlS-
inatOrS of the movement, Senator SchulA
among the number, in a special confer
ence with some of the Tennessee Repub-
lican delegation, expressed the opinion
that that movement would receive the
most effective support from Tennessee,
through an electoral ticket put fOlth by
the people, and not the partisan Organiza-
ton of your State. 1t is the determine
ton of the Democratic State Convention
of Tennessee, on the 9th of May, to prefer
and present a Democratic partisan electO-
raj ticket. They would not so materially
aid the Liberal cause as by cOnsenting to
a special popular ratification meeting, ir-
respective of party or party dictation,
which should present the electoral ticket,
but need apply only to the electoral ticket
and manner of supporting the Liberal
Presidential nominees, leaving local State
elections to take care of themselves. This
substantially is the view of the Provision
al Republican Committee and other lead
ing spirits of the movement, as ELECTED in
the conference with the Tennesseeans.

Korscmcn Dash into Kentucky Town in
Daylight, Rob u Bank and Murder u
Cashier.
LOUISVILLE, April 3O.-Yesterday even
inc about o'clock five men mounted on
splendid horses, dashed into the town of
Columbia, Adair county, Kentucky,
stopped and dismOunted at the Deposit
bank. Two men with pistols in their
hands held the horses while three with
drawn revOlverS entered the bank. -Four
men, including the cashier, a member of
the Legislature, Jas. Garnet were in the
bank. The men demanded the keys of
the safe, and one of them attempted to
shoot MI Garnet, but the latter knocked
up the pistol, the explosion of which
burned his head. All of the gentlemen
escaped except the cashier, who stood at
his post, refusing, under the most fearful
threats, to unlock the safe. One of the
scoundrels shot him dead and the party
commenced to pillage the bank of all the
money outside of the safe, which they
could not open. Meanwhile the two men
outside fired their pistols in all directions,
driving everybody off.
The raid was so sudden and unexpected
and short, that the town seemed panic
stricken until the robbers mounted their
horses and dashed out of the town. The
citizens Immediately organized pursuit
and at last accounts were gaining rapidly
on the fugitives.
The amount of money secured is not
supposed to be large. Mr.. Martin, the
cashier, was a gentlemen of high charac-
ter, and his violent death is deeply re-
GREETED.
Great excitement prevails in the coun-
try over the outrage, and the robbers will
probably be lynched on the spot if cap
tured.

A trade was made to-day to transfer Penn
