Cincinnati, May 2-9 A. M-The fol- !
lowing letter from Chief Justice Chase is,
published to-day:
Washington, April 2G.
My Dear Sir-My name, if We may
Judge from the newspapers, will not be
much considered at Cincinnati, and I
nm quite content and none less grateful
to friends who think it should be so.
AS you know have not sought or de-
sired the nomination. fit were Judged
the best means Of uniting the greatest
number OF those opposed to the Admin
istIation on principle, it would doubt
less be my duty to accept it. If any
othor name be preferred 1 shall be en-
tirely satisfied What is essential with
me is that what has been gained to free
dom be secured beyond peradyenture;
that the currency be placed on sound
basis; that real reform be accomplished
in taxation, internal and external and
in the perfect reconciliation of the sec
tions and citizens Your Parkersburg
platform as / remember it, embodies
these views, substantially, and I hope
none contrary to it will be adopted.
Yours truly.
S. p. CHASE,
Cincinnati, 10 4. M.--The first ballot.
30 far as is positively known, will stand
New York--GrOeley. Minnesota
Adams, 5, Greeley 3, Davis, /. Nebras-
ka-Trumbull, 4, Greeley, !, Brown, l..
Vermont-Greeley. Michigan--Adams.
Louisiana-Greeley. Iowa-Trumbull,
Tennessee favors Adams, and Florida
favors Davis.
The hall and galleries are well filed.
A feeling Of unoasiness is expressed
by many in anticipation Of an acrimon-
ious discussion to-day.
The anti Greeley members of the
New York delegation will offer pro-
test against the action of the majority
in voting to cast the vote Of the entire
delegation for Greeley. An effort is an
ticipatcd, in the Convention, to oyerrulc
that action and to assert the right Of
each delegate to express his individual
preference.
Susan B. Anthony and Laura Deforce
Gordon have entered and taken seats
on the platform, samid cheers and his,

Cincinnati, il, A. M--Tho Convention
was called to order
A Committee on credentials WIS Mp
pointed, consisting of one member from
each State and Territory.
A ACommittee of nine was appointed
on,Rules.
A motion to adjourn to two o'clocl
was lost.
Hickman, OF Pa, hoped the Conyen

Cincinnati, 2 p. M.-Senator Fento
hasScertainly departed for home. Va
rious constructions are placed on thi
sudden move.
The quantity of special dispatcht
sent from this city during the past fe
days, has been without precedent in IL
history Of telegraphing. Eighty thot
sand words were sent. among the frienC
OF the Liberal movement, in relation
the tariff plank in the platform.
On Tuesday night the prospect of Q
understanding was dark. Yerterds
n there was a growing feeling that Il
Convention would decline to declare
10 self on this question, but would lea
it to the people in the various Congre
. sional Districts to settle in accordan
" with Horace Greeley's understood wis
" es.
- The revenue reformers say that
=. Greeley is nominated they would acce
II the New York proposition to remai
" the whole business to the people.
a If Greeley should not be nominate
Id they say, they will insist on a declar
be ton as explicit as that in the NJ
er York call.
N; There is u strong feeling that the d
OF ference will be safely bridged over.
" Thirty-one members Of the New Yo
- - delegation have signed protest again
the action of the delegation Of til
State, in instucting that the entire vc
rs of the State, be cast for Greeley.
