WHERE WILL IT BE CONTESTED ?-THE SET
TLING OF THE PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 2s, 1876
The desire to know where the Yale Harvard race is
TO be rowed is universal Some say that New London
will be the place. and others that Springfield
will DO the favored locality. In an interview to-day
with Captain Cook, of the Yale Navy, 1t was learned
that the choice of place left Harvard the chal
enged party, and that the come of on June
80 Captain Cook thinks that Harvard will choose
Springfield If only to spite Yale whose preference is
for the course the Thames. 1t will be remembered
that
CERTAIN CONDITIONS
were submitted at the last meeting OF the college rep
resentaiives, the acceptance rejection Of which
the race depends. 1t has been ascertained that one
and the chief Of these conditions as the time
when the race should be rowed Yale desired that
should be rowed after the Saratoga regatta within the
three weeks succeeding the expiration of the summer
term, but TO this Harvard would not agree The an
nual examination OF both Yale and Harvard occurs in
june with tho difference that while Harvard gives
three weeks 10 the examination Yale gives but two.
AT such times the men composing the crews cannot
well spare the time for boating exercise and Harvard
has three weeks to Yae's The former manifestly
crowded INTO a shorter space but Yale has conceded
the point as 10 time Another condition TO the
RRFEREK
Harvard claimed the right to him. TO which Yale
would not consent Tho result was that Yale sub

referee should be selected liberty state
what the plan is but 1t is fair oneand will doubtless

Tho dissatisfied Republicans Of McHenry,
Kuno, and Boone Counties, who Withdrew
from tho regular Republican Congressional
Convention because Of their inability to con-
troll its action, yesterday held Convention
Of their own at 3larengo, and nominated Gen.
s. A. uunLnur rs thoir candidate for Con-
groaa. 1t is claimed by the AEarengo boilers
that tho Convention which nominated la
Tunor was gross fraud upon the Repub-
licauu Of tho Fourth District,-a CHIN
which, we beliove, is not borne
out by Il fnir md unprecedented
view Of tho facts. Unfairncss aud fraud
arc always alleged in Justification Of bolt
by tho defeated minority. Tlss HuRIDu1
faction III tho Fourth District have chosen n,
unfortunate timo for thoir bolt, as n division
of the Republican yoto Of tho district Il
tiloly to result in u plurality for FAnsswonr1s

lie suggests that thoy are not allowed to

ihws. Tho misfortune Is that tho ex-Nebels
aro not content with tha exclusive manage

and ri1o absolutely. In other States thoy
arc IN minority, and seok by brutal vio-

though in minority, rule by The shotgun

Gen. afoCIELIAN asks tint there he stop
pu! to tho medtlling interference Of corrupt
Government officials, and that then the
negroes will soon Divide But thoro Is No
interference Of corrupt officials. The
negroes hayo not divided, because under the
rule of tie ex. Confedaratcs their condition il
hardly removed from slavery. They ask
Governmental interference in their behalf,

would do under like circumstances, and 70,
