EASTERN DISPATCHES.

New YORK, May 24.-The New Jersey
Democrats in convention pledged the
delegation to Governor Parker at St.
Louis.
Times editorial says: Our special
correspondence announces that the Re-
publican State Convention of Illinois will
to-day elect forty delegates to the Ma
tional Convention pledged to support
Blaine. The unexpected unanimity OF
this action makes very material addition
to the strength of the gentleman from
Maine. We find that eighteen States
and Territories will give Blaine certain
strength on the first and second ballots
OF 245 votes, therefore there really seems
to be nothing very extrsvagant in the
claims made by Blaine's friends that he
will start out with a strength of nearly
300 votes. Those who believe Blaine
hardly fills the requisites of the ideal
Presidential candidate had better frankly
recognize his undoubted strength.
A Times telegram shows that Bristow
is likely to secure the New Hampshire
delegates to be elected to-day.
The committee appointed by the Bar
Association in reference to the charges
made against Charles O'Conor have

alton. The report is wholly favorable
to O'Conor.

very critical condition. He did not leave
his bed yesterday or smoke, as has been
his custom.
The fight between the Pacific Mail
Directors and the Directors of the
Panama Railroad Company has at last
terminated, the Panama people coming
OH victors. The Gould.Dillon clique
threw up the sponge yesterday and o
new Board of Directors in the interest of
the Panama Railroad will be elected on
the 3lst inst. The Directors OF the
Pacific Mail Company met yesterday
morning, Jay Gould and Sidney Dillon
alone being absent. The meeting it is
understood was very stormy one and
hot words are reported to have passed
between Rufus Hatch and Mr.. Bennett,
the attorney for the company.
The Worlds Washington special says:
The friends of Cameron deny any bar
gain and sale and assert that it is very
doubtful if Cameron accepts. Advices
have been received here from some OF
the delegates from Pennsylvania to the
Cincinnati Convention stating they can
not be transferred from their pledges to
vote for Hartranft to Conkling or any
one else.
