Brother BLAINE had great expectations
OF Virginia, but out Of TWENTY-FIVE delegates
whom the Republicans Of the State have sent 10
Cincinnati, according to one account only ten
profess to be for nLArNE, whilo he prctends that
fifteen and no more are his friends; and before
the Convention meets some Of these will proha-
bly, see reasons to change their Views. BLA1NE's
prospects are getting no better very fast.
The Republican state Convention held
this week In Columbia, s. c., was composed Of a
disreputablc mob Of politicians Of various de-
erees Of rascality, and It's proceedings were dis
orderly IN the extreme IL was expected that
CHAMBERLAIN and CARDOzA, being In funds,
while honest JoaN J. PATTERSON is supposed to

the proceedings was the election Of CHAMBER
LAIN and number OF his bitterest enemies rs
delegates 20 the National Convention. We are
told that the delegation will 90 to Cincinnati
unpledged, which means that they will be open
for trade 10 cash or barter. A resolution pras-
ing CHANBERLAIS's course as Governor was
voted down by two-tbirds majority. yet tele-
grams from sources friendly TO the Governor
assert that he will probably CONTROL the deleea'
ton IN Cincinnati. 1t Is very likely that he may
