UTICA, N. Y, May 2.-The Herald of
Of this city having published the names
of certain delegates to the democratic
national convention as in favor of the
nomination of Horatio Seymour and
against Tilden, the former writes to
say that he could not accept the nomi-

that one should be rendered, and that
he knows the delegates mentioned are
Tilden's earnest supporters.

WASHINGTON. May g. The Senate
confirmed E. 2. Perry, as Governor Of
Washington Territory.
The President transmitted to the
House today, the report of the Presi>
dent of the Centennial Commissioners,

The Times editorial says: The state.
ment on the part of blaine is so clear
and conclusive, that it is pity he did
not give it to the country sooner. He
hardly needs to have feared that tn e
public would confuse it with the other
which he has already made. The news
papers generally bele eve Blaine's de-
fense complete.
This afternoon Blaif made an elab-
crate speech, and it must be admitted a
conclusive refutation to the House of
the story that he had improperly used
number of Kansas Pacific bonds. The
evidence shows that the man who Or
ganized the story had admitted his
mistake. The day closes here with
Baine's skirts clearer than the res. of
the involved republican presidential
candidates .gBetshre made here that Be-
knap will not be punished at all, even
some democrats will vote against juris-
diction. The case has been badly da H.
aged owing to Clymers inconsiderats
zeal to make cheap reputation. The
grand jury ad not indicted Belknap,
and it is doubtful if they will.
