a few days ago ge gave the number
OF instructed delegates already chosen,
together with the probable actions of
the State conventions then about to
be held. The list as made up at that
time was as follows: Blaine, lgl:
Conkling, l0}; Morton, 81; Hayes, A.;
Hartrauit, PA, SO; Jewell, II !;
Bristow, 5. Since then West VIZ
GINA has appointed her delegates and
and passed a resolution expressive of a
preference for Blaine. This, on the
first ballot, woule give him ten more.
Micigan has appointed a delegation
without instructions, but understood
to be largly for Blaine. Counting
half of them for him, this gives ele7-
en- additional. He has alreody, there
fore, l22 pretty securely pledged for
the first ballot. TIE delegation from
Tennessee, though unpledged, is un-
derstood to stand about Is for Morton
and the remaining 9 delegates scatter
ed, divided between Conkling and
BriStow. The Kentucky Convention,
held to-day, is expected to give the
majority of its del, gates to Bristow,
though Mr.. Norton may obtain
enough to cary his vote on the first
ballot to 100 or more. 1t is likely
that the three foremost candidates.
Wis: Conkling, Morton and Blaine,
will, OF the first ballot, receive from
l2j to 200 votes each, Bl1ine, from
present indicatisns, leading by a con
siderable number. How it will be af.
ter that it is impossible to foretell ;
and 311 being required for a choice, il
is hardly probable that a selection will
be made without repeated trials. That
Mr. Blaine will lead by a considerable
plurality, however. must be conceded,
and the fact is by no means a reproach
to the people whc have witnessed his
course during the present session OF
Congress, who have sympathized with
HIM IN his prosecutions, and reioiced
with him in his triumphs.-Htp,

TO NOMINATE CANDIDATES FOR STATE
OFFICES.
The Republican electors ofthe State
of Nebraska are hereby called to send
delegates from the several counties to
meet in State Convention at Lincoln,
on Tuesday, the Doth day of Septem
Der, 1876, for the purpose of placing
in nomination a candidate for member
of congress, and candidates for Gov
eruor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary
of State, auditor, Treasurer, Superin-
'cndcnt of Public Instruction, Attor-
ney General, and Land Commissioner,
and to transact such other business as
NAV properly come before it.
The several counties are entitled to
the same representation as in the
State Convention called this day to
ncet at Fremont ea the 23d day Of
Nay, 1870.

Webster county elected a contingent

1t appears that Webster County
WASH so satisfied with two votes as

That wasn't the trouble, Bro. Hill.
The contingent delegate was selected
because it was uncertain whether
both of the others would 60. 1t was
also uncertain whether the contingent
delegate weaid be there. The three

The State Convention is now in ses-
sion at Fremont. The first great
question to be decided by the Con
venfion is the arportionmcnt question.
Most, ifnot all, OF the western counties
have sent extra delegates about whose
admission a clamer will be raised. The
CHEF from the first, alone, of the
western papers. defended the appor-
tioEment. Yet Webster County has
fully as much reason to complain as
any of the other counties. Adams
county for instance, has twice as many
delegates as this county, while the
population is about one and one third
as large. But Adams County polls at
the ordinary elections twice as many
votes as dossW Webster County. and We
are not dissatisfied with the apportion-
Hent on that account. We have seer
ao proof that the eastern. counties
have obtained more than Just repre-
sentation. Any one looking at the
list, in fact, would be- surprised at the
comparatively smaa number of dele
gates that have been allotted to the
river counties. If there had been any
unfairness in the apportionment, We
should have denounced it with what
ever energy and force We had at u
command.
But there does, not seem to be a
word Of complaint on that ground.
Now that the Central Committee have
exercised the discretion resting with
them it is difficult to perceive any SUBJ
stantial reason for such a grave rciec-
ton on tie Committee as overriding
their action. would be. Another thing
to be considered is the precedent it
would establish. Should the call ofthe

The Live Oak Leak.

The Navy Department every year gets
large sums of money from Congress under
the pretence that they are necessary for
the collection and preservation of live oak
timber. The Government goes to great
expense to take care of the timber lands
reserved by it in Florida. There is in that
State Ring of Federal ofioeholders who
make handsome thing out of the timber
they steal from these reserves and then
sell 10 the Government at exorbitant
prices.
There is no need whatever OF storing
live oak timber in these days. IT might
have been wisdom to do so twenty-five
years ago, but 1t is only folly now. The
arguments the Navy Department uses to
induce Congress to appropriate money for
TINS purpose show that it is either corrupt
or grossly ignorant of the necessities OF
modern naval construction. All those
parts OF ship in which the Navy Depart
ment say this live oak is essential, because
OF Its durability, are in frst-class construc-
ton now made of wrought iron. These
parts arc such rs the keel, apron, certain
parts OF the frames, and others. The best
