CHICAGO, June BON Wednesday Last tho
final Republican Btau Convention assembled,
md 1owa practically Instructed its twenty-five
delegates to Cincinnati 10 vote for James &.
Blaine for the Republican nomination to tho
Presidency. The prize seemed to be surely in
his grsp, ~ Ills trends could claim near.
ly enough votcs to nominate him on the
first ballot, and he was doubtless the second
choice Of enough 10 nominate him on tho
tccond or third. Now, all seems changed, and
Mulligarl has done IT, There il this, however,
to be said. Blaine had clear legal, ~ we'll a.
moral, right to aicze his letters without Null.
gan's consent, as apppe1rs from the language
ii Blackstone: "WIies onc hath deprived ans
other of hs property In gooxls or cl'att:s person.
al, the owner of tho guods !nny lawfully claim
them. 50 II be not In rlotolis manner Or
attended with a breach of the peace" To the
same purpose arc Lnrd Cokcs Institutes {Vo!.

eaptioG" n tlc eon99a aw and u ~ =, tn1ly
pass Or rcrlcyin. Even deception III such n rose
Is legally }uetilable, though Of ct,lrac nut NOR
aNB. Even Mull!gan, however, does not elA!1n
that, when tho letters were given to Blaine the
last time, there wns any pro,nse to return them.
Whntcycr, therefore, may be said Of tic pelcy
of plalnc'B taking and Keeping tfose letters,
there ean bc no doubt that III principle II was
right.
chi be no Wonder that he lo1t want them pub
lishcd, though they be wholly free from corrupt
matter.

A Pleasant Party.

The pleasantest party of the season was given
last Tuesday night at ths residence of ". Chap
man, Esq., on South street. to Misses Mo lie
and Victoria Conkling. sisters of Mr.. NJ. w.
Conkliug, Our dry goods merchant. At abou,
half-past seven O'Clock the company began to
arrive, and in less than an hour the large psrlors
were oiled. Time passed So pleasantly that no one
thought of Its flight, and the warm, handsome
rosms were too comfortable for any one 10
hasten off home through the cold. Vocal and
instrumental music were INDUCED in, but the
hum Of busy conversation almost roWue the
tones Of the piano.
At about eleven O'Clock the company were
invited into the dining-room te partake OF re-
freshments. OF course they all went, for they
knew that Mrs. Chapman was celebrated for her
taste and skill in fine arts; and . Widespread
table Is the best specimen of artistic work that
Is Known to hungry mOrtals. But if they had
expected something nice, they were really
astonished when they beheld the elegant and
costly table. Nothing waa lacking which good
taste could suggest. We will not attempt a de-
scription Of it, for We could not do it Justice,
and even if we could we wodld be accused of
e1agseration. We will simply state that the
cakes were the finest We ever saw. and the
knowledge of their construction would make
the fortune OF any baker.
The company fingered lovingly over the table
Tor nearly An hour, thoroughly enjoying the
good things; then returned to tn. psrlors, where.
for a short time conversation and music were re-
sumed. but 1t had grown late, and after good
bye's and good wishes were exchanged. all left
for home, to dream of the pleasant evening ms,
past.
The Misses Conkling live at BoonviIle, but
are spending a few days with their brother In
ibis city. They will start for home in a few
days, and will carry with them the best wish 90
ofall who know them. We wish them u pleasant
visit and a safe return. hoping their recollections
OF Lexington may be as pleasant US are their
friends remembrances of them.
