FACTS AND SPECULATIONs.
Lon Isl mn In Vofq M IN Uru:s

CINCINNATI, June 14,-At meeting of the
louisiana delegation last night, Mr. Pinchback
offered resolution that the vote in the conven-
ton be cast as unit.
Mr.: Packard objected, saying that he should
vote hrst for Morton and afterwards for Blaine
Mr.. Pinchback followed with an exciting
speech, in which he was exceedingly bitter in
illusions to President Grant and the course of
casey and Packard in Louisiana. He gave no +.
tice that this convention must establish the DO
lltlcal status OF his race now and for all time,
and said to the delegates that if he failed to
get the recognition of his race, which he came
eere determined to have, he should remain a
on-combatant in she coming political struggle
and let the Republican party learn wisdom by
their defeat, which will be inevitable, He
states that his second choice for President was
Bristow.
A resolution was then introduced bv Con
gresham N ash to vote as unit, and INSTRUCT
ing Mr.. Pinchback to act as spokesman in the
convention, which passed.
Blaine's Prospects not SO Bright.
CINCINNATI, June IA SO far as the nomina-
ton for the Presidency is concerned there is an
apparent and admitted change since yesterday.
1t has been 10 weaken Blaine, but Seemingly
for the benefit of no other known Candidates
The causes to which this falling off is attribut.
able vary with the Presidential preferences of
the states. The Bristow men say it is due
to the republication to-day of Blaine's letters
to Fisher, which they claim had never been
read by some of the delegates, and hurrisdlv
read and never thoroughly understood by 9th.
ers Some Conklng men say it is due to the
impression that the nomination of Blame viii
result in the defeat of the Republican party.
The Blaine men are said to have 263 votes snre
for the first ballot. His opponents claim that
that that is his entire strength and that he can
not gather any more into his fold.
Ills friends assert he has $50 pledged votes
though last night they put it at near 300. He
has, they say. a prospect of getting about 800
on the first ballot. The majority of the Penn
ssylvania delegation is surely for him, though
Don Cameron and his associates, who have
made tremendous effort to swing the deieg,
ton for Conkling, deny it, asserting that Penn
sylYania is solid for Hartranft and will remain
SO all the time. This is certainly in accord
with the action of the caucus to-day, but when

said, that the Republican party has but to
nominate and go home and elect. 1 should be
glad to believe it expressed in as strong lam
guage as my sanguine temperament could de-
wise, but am not SO sure it is precisely so.
There has been growing up for some in the
country a widespread and serious dissatifac-
ton which it is simple common sense to recog-
nize. (Applause.)
Now gentlemen, when you shall have nomi-
mated your candidate and laid down your plat
form, If your platform expresses, defines and
propounds sound republican doctrines, and
your candidate be an able, honorable, true Re-

WashingtOn's Temper.

tells the following story of her father,
the celebrated painter, and General
Washington: When talking one day to
General Henry Lee, my father happened
to remark that Washington had ire
mendous temper, but held it under won
derful control. General Lee breakfast
ed with the President and Mrs. Wash
ington few days afterward.
~ saw your portrait the other day-a

"Upon my word" said Mrs. Wash

great deal upon himself to make such
remark"
"But stay, my dear lady," said Gen.

had it under wonderful CONTROL"
With something like smile General
Washington remarked: "He is right.

The European War Cloud.

One of the causes which has tended
to produce the general sense of uneasi-
ness in London, Louis Jennings writes
to the World, is the fear of an Euro
pean war. A few weeks ago, the pros.
pect of the maintenance of peace seemed
to be very small indeed. but the war
cloud has lifted little, and it cannot be
denied that this is greatly due to the
firm attitude taken by England in refer
ence to the Berlin memorandum. Mr..
Disraeli's worst enemies admit that he
has impaired to the foreign policy of his
country something of its ancient vigor.
The "very humble" position invariably
assumed by Mr.. Gladstone is not at all
in Mr.. Disraeli's line. Thus it has hap
pened that Russia has bsen much aston
ished lately at encountering an opposi-
ton to her Eastern designs from quar-
ter which seemed to be no longer worthy
of consideration. Men of all parties
seem to have made up their minds to
stand by Mr.. Disraeli in his present
work. The only question indeed was
whether the premier's health would en-.
able him to perform his duties during
the remainder of the session. TO look
at MIN one WOutO suppose tnaG ne cOulO
not last twenty-four hours. I had not
seen him for seven years till the other
evening, and he seemed to have grown
twenty years older in the interval. He
never was of very rudy complexion,
but his face now is of an ashy hue, and
time and care have written their marks
upon it with something more than their
usual force. But, whenever an emer-
gency arises, he still goes into the fight
with resolution and energy which
neither infirmities nor sickness have the
power to subdue, and he astonishes
friends and foes alike by the power and
vigor he displays at unexpected mo-
ments. He can still wind up a debate
at two in the morning with as much
freshness and ability as he displayed a
score of years and more ago. So far as
can Judge, his ministry is very power
full, and there are no visible traces of an
immediate revival of its antagonists, the
great Liberal party. That party seems
to be in for spell of bad luck, and bad
luck will sometimes stick to party, as it
does to an individual, until the life is
pretty we'll shaken out of it.
