In tho Cincinnati Convention, the Terri.
toriea Of Arizona Daltoen, Idaho, a1o,,tann

sach two4otes,-in al eighteen yotcs. These
Territories have no electoral vote for Presi.
dent. Their presence in the Convention,
with the power to give eighteen yotos for
the nomination OF Il candidate, is q fraud.
Their vote is nearly equal to TINT of Wlscon-
stn, or Iowa, Or Michigan. and exceeds TINT
OF California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado,
Minnesota, Connecticut, and Vermont, aud
equals that Of Now Jersey. Yesterday,
~hen New York delegate moved to strike
out tho delegations from these Territories
from tho list OF those entitled to vote, tho
motion WAS voted down, and then 1Ir,
BtA1AE'R friends claimed tie refusal as tho
frat blood for BLAINE" That victory wa
not won In the causo Of truth or justice.
Az general thing, tho politicians who hang
around these dependent Territorial Govorn-
nlents are Of tho salne clusu which onco
figured at tho South undor tue STYLE of

WARRINGTON, April 1S.-In the Supreme
Court OF the District of Columbia, Chief
Justice Carter presiding, this morning, Mr.
J. G. Thompson, Ssrgcaut-at-Armso Of the
House Of Representatives, came into collr,
with bis prisoner and through his counsel
made return to the writ Of habeas corpus
in the case of Hallett Kilbonrn, committed
to jail on the 14th Of March by order of the
House of Representatives, for contempt.
In the return, Mr.. Thompson claimed
that he lawfully held the prisoner under
the order of the House of Representatives,
the said House being in lawful session, and
that writ of habeas corpus could not
legally reach the case. At the conclusion
of the reading of the return, the Judge
ordered the Marshal to take charge of the
prisoner, and retain him In custody during
the hearing of the case. With view to
facilitate the hearing the Judge then re-
queste4 the counsel on both sides to fur
nish him with briefs Of their line of argu-
ment, and postponed the further hearing Of
the case until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
Mr.. Kilpourn remains In the custody OF
the Marshal, but has not been returned to
Jail.

Tne PittsburE Labor Convention
BY American Press A ssociation. 'n'.'


P1TTsBuRa, April 1S.-The Labor, Con-
veution having effected permanent organ
tzation yesterday, met at o'clock this
morning. About one hundred and fifty
delegates were present, the German element
largely prevailing. ..,.
A series of resolutions were introduced fa-
voring the losning of money by the govern
meBt to the laboring classes, to enable them
to engage in corporation in the several
branches of industry, as such course
would be more just than giving money to
banks and railroad monopolies; alec de-
manding the repeal of the national bank
system and the government to issue directly
10 the people instead of tho legal tender
greenback currency receivable for all debts,
public and private, said currency at the
will of the holder to be exchangeable for
bonds bearing low rate of interest, de-
manding the repeal of the specie resump-
,tion act, demanding that all tariffs shall be
at such rates as will protect the industries
and products thereof from foreign compe-
tion, and on such articles as are manufac-
tured or produced at home only, and re-
questing legislatures to pass acts for river
Improvements in preference to railroad
Subsidies. Several kilograms were read
from different places, expressing sympathy
with the objects of the convention, also
letters, one of which urged that the next
President should be statesman, and one
who will work for the welfare of working
men, and that military representative
was not desideration. The convention
then adjourned until 2 P. M, for the after
noon session.
The Convention re-assembled at 2.15
o'clock, and after lcalling the roll of del
egates, the Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions, Mr.. J. L. Wright, said he was
ready to report the minutes of the morning
session. Mr.. Wright stated that the action
of the Committee on Resolutions had been
harmonious.
The resolutions start out by declaring
hat the evils of the present are owing to
misrule and express the opinion that unless
change be made, no return to prosperity
can be looked for. They counsel unity Of
action among workingmen and advises
Them not to support any of the old political
organizations. The cooperation of all
workibgmen is asked for. ...
After the adoption of the resolutions the
Convention adjourned to meet again at
Philadelphia, on the Fourth of July, 1876.
