LATER.

COLUMBUS, o., June 3-The hotels are
overflowing with delegates to the State
Democratic and Greenback Conventions,
which meet tomorrow. The interest cen
tiers on the nomination for Governor, and
the platform and other candidates are
attracting little attention thus far. The
contest to-day for Governor has been be-
tween Gen. Rice and Gov. Bishop.
This morning the Rice men had things
almost entirely their own way, but the
arrival OF the delegates from the rural
counties this afternoon has materially in
creased Bishops strength.
Interviews had tonight with both Bish.
op and Rice, show that both men are
nervous Of the others strength, but are
making the best OF it, and each claim
their chances for nomination are excellent.
This evening Gen. Ewings strength has
increased materially. This arises from
the fact that he is the only man that there
seems to be any hope that the GreenbaCk-
ers will coalesce on, and because he will
be more acceptable to the supporters OF
both Rice and Bishop, when it becomes
evident that neither OF them can be nomi.
mated. Few supporters Of either Rice or
DlsuOp auHlL Ine possibility VI tIle ueleuL
OF their candidate, but each in turn admit
Ewing strength as the popular candidate,
and that he will be the man they can
unite on better than any one else.
Judge Gilmore will be rem ominated for
Supreme Judge and Anthony Howells for
Treasurer, without opposition. The plat
form will be substantially that OF last year.
In addition, it will endorse the Congress
sional action relating to tho Presidents
vetoes; that the government shall issue
all paper money, and demand unlimited
coinage Of silver previous to the substitu-
ton Of greenbacks for national bank
notes.
A number Of prominent workers ir the
National Greenback partyhel a prelimin.
ary conference tonight, and with scarcely
an exception, opposed a coalition with the
Democrats in the nomination OF any can
didates on the State ticket. Their senti.
ments as expressed was that it would be
wise for the Greenback organization tC
hold its convention and nominate its can.
didates without regard to what the Demo
cratic convention might do.

shadows all other interests, and the fight
at present is narrowed down to Rice and

RETURN OF THE EXCHANGED HOTEL THIEVES.
Captain William c. Wilkinson and Deputy
Sergeant William Tyler returned last night
from Chicago, having in charge two Of the
EXCHANGE thieves who escaped from
the city Jail some months since. Although
it had been previously reported that all
three OF the gang bad been arrested, it
proves that only two were caught-namely,
John Bradley and James Murray. The Of
ficers ascertained in Chicago that the right
names Of their prisoners were John Maloney
Bradley and James Fox Murray. The
last named was shot by the officer who ar
rested him, and IS unable to walk. He
had therefore TO be brought all the
way to Richmond In sleeping-car.
Officers Wilkinson and Tyler report that
they experienced considerable trouble
in getting away from Chicago with
their prisoners, the friends of Maloney
and Fox having made desperate efforts to
effect their release. The officers were de-
tanned by two writs OF habedS corpus, and.
after getting rid Of them, had to leave Chi
cago in hurry, and at night, in order 10
avoid the serving of anothersprocess with
which they were threatened. gThe prison.
ers were replaced in their old quarters,
where they will remain until their cases are
disposed OF by the Court Of Appeals, they
having asked for writs OF error to the
judgment Of the Hastings Court, or they
may be carried Immediately to the peniten-
| tiary if they elect TO abandon the attempt
to have new trials.

I am astouished that any man, much less
a party, in Virginia, can be found who will
hesitate to accept the terms recently offered
by the ondholders-terns so Just, gen.
erous, and magnauimouS. What can be the
Interior object OF those who now oppose q
compromise? Can it be reputation
My sympathies have heretofore been with
the readi listers, but never for reputation.
Now, when an opportunity is offered to
settle this vexed question and give peace
and prosperity to our State, the importance
of which cannot be even estimated, cannot
see how any honest man can hesitate.
AS matter Of policy the regdiusters
should embrace, the opportunity offered.
and might claim that their action has caused
the offer OF compromise, and by which the
State will save upwards OF twenty millions.
The coupon feature is fastened on US, but
one half its buIthens viii be taken off for
many years, at least, by the compromise.
