THE PENNSYLVANIA CoNvEN

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 2.


HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. %:
The situation this morning, is mater
tally changed. Sheppard is more conf
dent and counting So to 80 out of the
Philadelphia delegates on first ballot, or
at least so votes on second ballot.
His opposition is not SO bitter as last
night, and his strength is industriously
being worked off among the country de-
delegates.
Noyes leads for State Treasurer. and
expects to go through on the first ballot.
Schel is equally confident for the NOM
lnation for Auditor General. No agree
ment yet upon the platform.
The work of checking Vaux with his
anti corporation is very difficult. He
has been unable thus far to be substitut-
ed as delegate and is unable therefore
to run as chairman of the Platform Com
mittee. McMullen is doing everything
to beat Sheppard and Josephs is disposed
to favor the District Attorney. 1t is
thought that the general tone of the plat
form will be reaff1rmation of the St.
Louis platform.

Maryland has diSbanded her artillery
force. and is about to muster the Seventh
Regiment of infantry out of service.
The battery of artillery was organized
and equipped in five days, aud although
the horses We're bought in an emergency
the State has lost only S308 by their pur~
chase and sale, for which amount of mo-
ney they have had the use OF forty-fOur
horses for three weeks. That was pret-
ty good management, and although the
artillery was, fortunately, not called into
service, the State has really lost nothing
by preparing in this vigorous way for

A Washington despatch is as fol
lows
The Superintendent of the Naval OBJ
servatory, Admiral John Rodgers, to-day
officially reported to the Secretary of the
Navy the following as TO the discovery
OF the satellites of Mars:-"That the
planet by the observations of Professor
Hall has been found to have at least two
satellites, Professor Hall, by examining
his note bookJ finds the first satellite
was seen August IL, but as he had not
then the opportunity to wait for the
pianet's motions 1t was not recognized
as satellite until the 10th, and that 1T
has been observed on the l7th, 18TH ana
18th.
"This satellite, Professor Hall says, has
an apparent distance from the centre OF
Mars of so seconds. Its time of revolu-
ton around the planet is thirty hours.
He estimates its magnitude as about the
thirteenth or fourteenth. The plan OF
its orbit has now considerable incllna-
ton to the line OF sight from the earth to
Mars. At its elongations its angles OF
positions are ~ degrees and 252 de-
grees.
"The second satellite was discovered
August II, and appears quite as bright
nearly the same angles of oppositions
which correspond to the equator of Mars.
Its apparent distance at the elongations
and its periodic time are not yet known.
'Preliminary elements of the outer
satellite calculated by Professor 5. Newe
comb, of the bservatory:-Major axis
of orbit, SO seconds; the angles of the ma
ior axis are 20 degrees and 250 degrees,
and of the minor axis % seconds. The
passage of the satellite through western
ap>is on August 10 was sixteen hours and
farty minutes. The periodl of the inner
satellite is probably less than eight hours
but this cann1t yet be fixed. ,..

THURMAN's FUNDING BILL,

Near the close of the last session of
the last Congress. Senator Thurman, OF
Ohio, introduced bill to create sink
ing fund for the Central and Union
Pacific railroad companies. The
Aobject of the bill was to compel the
companies to make provision for the
payment of the principal. aud interest
OF the bonds issued aud secured by the
Government TO assist them in building
their roads. The companies are OPP
posed to, the passage Of the bill. aud
yesterday, by their attoraeys, appeared
before the Senate Judiciary Committee
aud argued against its passage. The
railroads, to cancel part of their
obligations, offer to reconvey TO the
+. Government 5000. 600 of acres of land
along the roads at 81 % per acre.
This land was given the companies as
an inducement to build the roads, aud
the alternate sections adjoining it are
held by the Government at 81 80 per
acre. and all things considered. the
Government. perhaps, might as well
accept it and cancel ID portion of the
Indebtedness of the companies OF
course the choice lands along the roads
have been selected aud uatented by the
companies and partly disposed of at
from $5 to $50 per acre to settlers, and
though the lands which they offer TO
rsconvey to the Government are nearly
all valueless, it is as well to accept
them as basis of settlement. The
railroad companies have every ad.
vantage OF the Government The laws
governing their cases were enacted for
their especial benefit, aud the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided
that the interest on the bonds ISSUED
by the Government to aid them III

the principal becomes due AS the
Government has tue worst of it Con-
6ress must make The best of bad bar.
gain and accept the lands as part pay
Inent of the Indebtedness of the roads,
and dispose of them at reduced rates if
it can find purchasers.

The Grant-Sumner Controversy
Fish Gees for Phillips' scalp.

ExSecretary Fish scalps Phillips on
on the Grant-Sumner controversy.
Phillips in his recent lecture said, how
much can Grams memory be depended
upon after seven years.? The General
says that in June. 1870, he was very
angry with Motley, etc. Phillips then
produced letters from Fish 10 Motley,
written, he SAID, III June. 1870, approx
ing his official course, anathus seemed
to convict Grant of either falsehood or
culpable failure OF memory Fish now
shows that said letter was dated June,
1869. Fish accuses Phillips of inten.
tiouaily classifying the date, saying the
use which he seems to make of the
letters precludes the seusibiiity of any
charity to save classification from wilful
misrepresentation. Again, Philips
says 1t is admitted that few days after
the San Domingo Treaty defeat Motley
was asked TO resign, and at the opening
OF the very next session Sumner Was
refused THAI Chairmanship, which he
had filled for ten years. Fish replies
that the treaty WAS defeated In June,
1870, when Sumner was agatn APP
pointed chairman of the committee on
Foreign Relations. This disposes.of al
once another of Phillips misstate-
ments, aud also ofsth idea that Sum
ner's reappointment was not made In
const queuce of his opposition to the
San Domingo Treaty. Had the OPPOSE
ton been the cause it would have been
in-December, 1870, while the commit
tees were reorganized for the first time
after the defeat offthe treaty. Sum
ner' s failure to be reappointed did not
take place until the following session
of the Senate. which began March.
1871. Evidently the accuracy of the
statement and regard for truth must be
ciassed among AIR. Phillips lost art.
