CINCINNATI, June l3, 1876.
Favorable reports of Blaine's condition
have considerably strengthened his chsncee
to-day. His friends count upon 327 votes
on the first ballot. They are accordingly
very confident.
The friends of the other candidates, on
the other hand, declare that Blaine will poll
his highest vote on the first ballot. 1t is
difficult to understand upon what grounds
such an opinion can be based.
The Louisiana delegation held close
caucus to-day and agreed upon the follow
ing recommendations:
s. B. Packard for the committee on per-
msnent organization.
G. Y. Kslso tor vice president from Louis
lana.
Henry Demas for committee on res0lu-

Guesses from Cincinnati.

A special from Cincinnati, June 10, to the
New York Graphic says:
The clans are gathering. Every train
brings new accessiOns to the number al
ready here. The convention promises to be
the largest ever held in this country. It
seems to be understood that the Repub-
licans are really to nominate the next Pres.
ident of the United States. Not only that,
but, being the first in the field, they will
practically dictate the nomination of their
opponents. Should Roscoe COnkling get
the nomination it is conceded that the
Democrats must choose Western man, 80
as to carry Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and
90 Offset New York.
1t is not believed that the nomination
will be made before next Friday. All that
will be done on Wednesday will be to or
ganize the convention and appoint the
committees. On Thursday sufficient num-
Der of ballots will be taken to test the tenn
per of the convention and to make . basis
for the private discussions which will take
place in the csucuses on Thursday night.
On Friday morning it is predicted, on the
first ballot, the real nominees will be
chosen, and, as matters look at present, the
ticket will be:
For President-Roscoe Conkling, of New
York.
For Vice President-Rutherford B. Hayes,
OF Ohio.
The following is guess at the first bal
lot, the whole number of votes being 756,
and necessary to choice 379 votes:

New Orleans University.

This fourishing institution, at the corner
Of Camp and Race streets, has closed the
academic year. The anniversary was held
Wednesday evening, June 7, in the First
Street Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev.
E. Williams pastor. DR.. Goldman presided.
The house was crowded with an interested
audience.
The programme of exercises was as fol-
lows:

Address. 49,. Nv. b. Goldman, D. D., President
The interesting exercises were closed by
an impressive doxology and benediction
pronounced by President Barker, of Leland
University.
To speak of all the exercises as their
merits demand would require much space.
The music in all parts was excellent. OF
unanimous judgment was that they have
never been excelled, if equalled, on any
similar occasion in New Orleans.
This university has secured body of su-
periOr students, and is bound to make it's
mark. Of the faculty it is sufficient to say
that their names are known to the public,
and are guarantee of the excellent quality
of their work. Their names are: w. D.
Goldman, D. D., president; Mrs. A. Il. God
man, NJ. D., professor Of natural sciences;
A. B. Collins. professor of snnient Ian
gusges; Miss c. Salt, professor of English
literature; Mise A. T. Ross, professor of
music.
The number of students enrolled during
the year is reported at l50. The highest
number attending at one time, lis. There
has been no primary department.. One
class in trigonometry, one in Herodotus,
one in Sallust, etc.
The class in theology acquitted them
selves finely at examination. 1t is COM
posed chiefly Of vigorous and promising
young men.
The strdents express eager hopes that
their teachers, without change, may return
to them.

There may be . third ballot Thursday;
but it is more probable that determined
effort will be made to adjourn, so as to eau
Gus the nomination ON Thursday night and
come to an agreement on Friday morning.
Roscoe Conkling's chances are believed
to be the best. He represents the disci-
plined adhereuts of the party-who will be
very strong in this convention-and the
best traditions of Republication. 1t is
also much in his favor that not one word
has been said to impugn his personal integ-
rity, while his commanding talents are uni
versally admitted. 1t is considered that
his nomination will put the Democratic
party in bad place, and will compel them
to adopt . soft money platform and mod
crate soft money candidate from the West,
to antagonize the Republican ticket. The
nomination Of Morton by the Republicans
would be Offset by that of Tilden on the
part of the Democrats with the certainty
Of losing New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey. 1t is this consideration which tells
against the distinguished Indianian, who,
had he any chance of carrying New York,
would be formidable rival of Senator
Conkling. So matters look at present.

On the second ballot the break, of
course, will occur. Blaine having no
chance whatever, will then, it is supposed,
bring forward the candidate he has in re-
serve, and will endeavOr to carry the con-
ventiOn by storm. But all shrewd poll
ticians concede that, whatever votes Blaine
may promise, he can not deliver them; 80
his following will then break all apart, and
he will be left solitary and power less. The
Eastern Blaine men, it is believed, will 20
for BristOw, the Southern Blaine men for
Morton, while the Western adherents of
the ex-Speaker will be divided between
COnkling, Hayes and Washburne, the ma
jority going for the first named.
1t is an open secret here that when Mr..
Blaine told q Tribune reporter that the
man he most feared was 1.-THE Great Un-
knOwn"-a term that has since become
famous-he supposed that this unknown
was Rutherford B. Hayes. In this, how
ever, it will doubtless be proven that he
made mistake, for the second ballot will
in all probability stand about AZ follows:

will be broken, Bristow getting seven OF
eight, Morton ten or eleven, Hayes seven
or eight, Wheeler two, C0nkling possibly
one or two, the rest uncertain.
New Hampshire has resolved to vote
solid for Blaine. This and Illinois gives
Blaine four additional votes, and with good
news regarding Blaine's health, more than
offsets the detection in the Pennsylvania
and New Jersey delegations.
Later developments in Pennsylvania are
more favorable to Blaine. He may with
some confidence count on forty ty-eight after
Hartranft is dropped. Cameron, however,
is working hard for Conkling.
Negotiations are going on al the time be-
tween COnkling and Hartranft men, but it
seems no agreement is reached which in
wolves any number of votes. Hartranft
will have one solid vote. Whether dropped
before the second or third ballot will be de-
termined tomorrow.
During the evening the Blaine men have
been showing signs of settled confidence
which had an effect ON the supporters of
other candidates. Notwithstanding the
losses, they claim to have gained enough
in New Hampshire, Illinois and California
to c0unterbslance all that and give their
candidate between 29O and 300 votes on the
first ballot. 1t has been decided to have NO
informal ballot.
What Blaine's Friends Rely Upon.
The following estimate is made out by
the Blaine committee, and they claim that
they have vigorously eliminated all votes
Whlch could in any way be considered
doubtful: On the second ballot they claim
that Blaine will gain fifty from delegations
