Preparations In New York for the
Fourth.

NEW York, July B. To-day has
opened as a general holiday, business
being left to the fireworks and flag
establishments. Banners, ~banneretts
and buntings are everywhere. There
is scarcely a building in town but bears
some evidence that the centennial
Fourth is at hand. The procession to.
night promises to be an exceptionally
grand affair; twenty-five thousand men
at least are expected to be in line and
their route will be Illuminated by fifteen
thousand torches and many calcium
lights. An electrical light on top of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
building will make down town as bright
as day.

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC TICKET,
THE TENNESSEE DELEGATION AT ST.
LOUIS.

LOUIS.
The Nashville American Of yes
terday states very clearly the posi-
ton and action of the Tennessee
delegation at st. Louis in regard to
the nomination of Governor Hen
bricks: The Tennessee delega-
ton to st. Louis in tobedience to
the expressed preference of the
Democratic State Convention, as
well as in accordance with their
own views of propriety and policy,
advocated and sustained the nomi-
nation of Governor Hendricks for
the Presidency from first to last.
After the nomination of Governor
Tilden, which was followed imme-
diately by the adjournment Of the
convention Wednesday evening, it
became apparent that the demand
for the nomination Of Governor
Hendricks for the second place on
the ticket was imperative, The
convention had adjourned to meet
the next morning at ten O'Clock.
No time was to be lost. An
informal conference of several
members of the Tennessee delega-
ton developed that they unani-
mously favored this nomination as
a matter Of prime necessity to
secure the success of the ticket.
Thereupon, the chairman Of the
delegation, Colonel Burch, without
awaiting the meeting Of the dele
CATION, which had been called for
that night, telegraphed to Governor
Hendricks /: "Tennessee delegation
request me to ask you if you viii
permit them to put you in nomina-
ton for the Vice Presidency" This
was accompanied by a personal APP
peal and argument from the chair
man to Governor Hendricks, urging
that he yield to the request Of the
delegation. All of this was read to
and approved by the delegation
at an open meeting that night,
which was attended by a large
number of visiting Tennesseeani
who were not members of the
delegation. This meeting also
instructed the chairman and a com.
mittee of the delegation to proceed
at once, though late at night, to the
headquarters Of the Indiana dele.
cation and urge them to request
Governor Hendricks to permit hi
name to be presented for the Vic
Presidency. This was done, anC
the desire Of the Tennessee delega
ton expressed to the Indiana dele
cation in as forcible terms as coul'
be used by the chairman and tn
other members present of the Ten
nessee delegation. After the over
whelming demonstration in fayo
OF Governor Hendricks, FOLLOWED
by his enthusiastic nomination
Thursday morning, and before tn
ballot was announced in the con
yention, the following telegram wa
sent to Governor Hendricks: "Yol
have been nominated amid tn
widest enthusiasm. You must &C
cept." Signed John @. Burch
John G. Brown, for the Tennessee
delegation.

SO IT seems that Hayes is the
very worst kind Of a back salary
grabber. The Cleveland (O)
Plaindealer says:
Hayes was a member Of Congress in
1866. when the salary of Congressman
was raised from $4,000 to $4,000 by being
meanly tackled upon the Soldiers BOun-
~ bill. The steal was worse than the
back pay grab, for that was put through
on its merits in the House. Governor
HAYES, then q member, took the back
pay, and drew the pay up to the time his
successor took his seat. When he came
before the people for re election. General
Henry B Banning, now in Congress,
beat him 1000 Uotes in a district hereto
fore strongly Republican. He was then

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Congress has
so arranged matters as to enable the
Government machine to run at least ten
days longer without embarrassment;
bnt, as was predicted in this correspon-
dence last night, the House committee
refused to act upon the Senate bill to
meet the emergency, because that would
have been a recognition of the right Of
the Senate to originate a bill appropri.
ating money. But after the failure of
the conference on the legislative bill to
agree last night, it became so manifest
that action could not be delayed longer,
that the House committee reported it,
own bill providing for the use of the un.
expended balances Of the appropria
tons for the current year, but limiting
the time TO ten days, in the hope that ere
that time had expired all differences
would be settled. The Senate promptly
took up the bill, but amended Il so az tn
continue the current appropriations, if
the unexpected balance should in any
case prove insufficient. The House &C.
cepted the amendment, aud the bill was
Immediately sent to the President for
his signature. In view OF this section,
all orders that have heretofore been semi
out directing a suspension OF the public
business in a certain contingency have
been countermanded; but from present
indications the prospect Of r~econciling
the differences within ten days is not
very bright.
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
The House does not seem in o hurry
TO appoint the new conferees on the
legislative bill. 1t was reached this af.
t%ernoon some time before adjournment;
but Mr.. Randall made no attempt TO
call it up and have new House con.
ferees appointed. The conference on
the army bill had a brief session to-day.
but no conclusion wal reached. The
conlerees on the postofice bill did not
even have a meeting
THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
The House today, at the suggestion oil
the Centennial Committee, tabled the
resolution providing for a session OF
Congress at Independence Hall in Phila
delphia on July Fourth, the reason be-
ing that the public business was In such
q condition that an adjournment for sew
eral days should not be taken; butt wai
shown in debate afterwards that there
was a constitutional question as to tn,
power Of Congress to hold it's session
elsewhere than at the city Of Washing
ton. The House, however, INFORMALLY
accepted the invitation to participate il
the ceremonies in Independence SQUARE
on the Fourth, but it is doubtful whethe
many members will attend, as the Housl
accepted the invitation solely as a com
pliment.
