Capt Bert. c. Gordon, who gives an account
of his adventures since last fall. He thinks

The SAFE overwhelmingly recent
testimony in the safe burglary conspiracy
places several Boston gentlemen in an unpleas.
ant position. At the trial in 1874 Deputy
Collector Hugueley of the Boston custom house
testified that Whitley was in Boston Sunday,
April 9TH of that year, and that he was there
after the night train for New York had left.
The purpose of this evidence was to show that
Whitley could not have been in New York the
following day and so could not have sent tele-
grams to Mike Hayes, which the government
claimed came from him. In his recent testi.
mony however, Whitley admits that he sent
the kilograms and consequently that he was in
New York of the 9th of April, and Treasury
Detective Madge's testimony tends to corrob.
crate Whitley. The Boston parties are willing
to swear to the correctness of their statement
and will doubtless be called.
Hon. A, G. Riddle, who was special counsel
for the government in the prosecution, and
who was relieved after the trial, is said to have
testified that Whitley aud Mike Hayes both in
the progress of the trial told him that Babcock
was,connected with the conspiracy, but he did
not make this known to Attorney General
Williams before he was dismissed.

ott
Resolutions were adopted declaring that at
no time since the rebellion, has the country
been in SO great danger of a party opposed to
the true principles which should govern a Re-
publican form of government. Appreciation of
the high character of statesmanlike ability and
consistency of Senator Morton of Indiana was
expressed and the course pursued by him in
behalf of the rights and liberties of the people
and his efforts to secure to all equal protection
OF the law were endorsed. A resolution intro
duced by Gov. Chamberlain was adopted, de-
claring that the convention leaves tho delegates
to the Cincinnati convention wholly uninstruct-
ed and untrammelled, but requires them to
vote and work for those candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President who have proved to
be the most faithful to the cardinal doctrines
OF the Republican party, viz: Equal rights, ms
tant and complete reformation of abuses, puri-
ty, integrity and ability in public appointments
ana an unhlnchlng determination to make
the public service as honorable as when WASH
in gton welded the executive power of the re.
public.

President Grant for his faithful execution of
law, and the vigor with which he has extended
the strong arm of the government to protect
citizens when threatened by armed bands of
conspirators. A resolution thanking Governor
Chamberlain for the manner in which he has
administered the government of South CARROLL
ma, urging him to go forward in the path of re-
form and good principles and assuring him OF
the support of all true Republicans, was de-
feated by two-thirds vote.

COLUMBIA, April 13.-The indications to-day
are that Gov. Chamberlain will control the
South Carolina delegation to the National
Convention, in which case their first vote will
undoubtedly be given to Bristow for President,
with Blaine probably as second choice, and in
no event for Morton.

CHICAGO, April I3.-Joseph Medil, in an in

about Blaire, says at the Cincinnati meeting
spoken of no bond story was arranged about
Blaine or anybody else; no supposed facts were
put into shape to invite credib:lity; there was
no resolve to have the story appear slmultan-
eousy in various newspapers or in any news
