midnight give little additional information regard
ing the action of the Governor and Council in
Legislature beyond stating the feel
ing that exists in the State regarding
the movement kilograms from Republican
sources declare that there is universal
Indignation among members of that
party throughout the State, and that
il is by 10 means confined TO active Republicans,
but extends to all who have voted that ticket.

Charles +. SWEET an cx-Democratic Coun-
Gilman and member of the city com
mittee, expressed an opinion that at least four
of the Republican candidates for Represen-
tatives in Portland had been fairly elected, and the
Withholding of their certificates would operate very
iniuriously TO the Democratic party. He did not
believe there had been any more corruption, bribery
or fraud OH one side than on the other.
" Edmund Dana. chairman OF the Democratic State
Committee, was not prepared to give any 0pin-
ION lie thought. however tha, the Republicans
could not complain II they were counteu ont on

CAsE-THE DECISION REVERSED.

GENERAL PRESS DIsPATCHl
WASHINGTON Dec. 16-The case of NJ. A. Dauphin
against Postmaster-General Key was called in the
District Supreme Court to-day. A. a. Freeman coun-
SCI for the respondent, said the Post Office Depart
ment does not claim to deprive MIR. Dauphin the
benefit of the mail but claims the right
to control the postal system. Referring
TO the assertion that the Postmaster-General
is not above the law. and that a mandamus would
reach him. Mr. Freeman says it does not follow that
because he is amcnable TO law he is bound to
respond TO q mandamus. He denied the assertion
that Mr.. Dauphn has vested right in the
registered letters. claiming that these letters
can be returned to the sender under
tain contingencies. That contingency. he
said has arisen. Mr. Freeman claimed that
the PoStmaSter-Gcnera can only be reached By
mandamus to compel the revocation of the order
recurring the registered letters TO be returned to
the senders To stop its execution Che Postmaster
al New-Orleans, who is charged with the execution
of il, must be enjoiued Mr. Freeman then claimed
that the only remedy the complainant has is by
law If the law under which the Postmaster Cen
eral acted is constitutional, he cannot recover

able to mite on a candidate. 1t was felt by them
that 1t would be unwise to put forward any
one who is known as Blaine man. instead OF
one who could combine the anti-Cameron vote.
IL was found, too. that several of Mr.. Baine's
friends could not be depended upon to vote for
William L. Chandler. Mr.. Frye, of Maine, who had
half consented, at last peremptorily declined, and
1t was then agreed that all who are
opposed to Senator Cameron should vote for exRep-
resentative Avcrell Of Minnesota. General Averell

tons of his own. will vote for him. General Aver
ellis friends, after close canvass, claim twenty votes
sure for him. with even chance for fifteen more
four of which would make majority.
Senator Cameron is managing his canvass
shrewdly Some of the members who will in
all probability vote for him are strongly
in favor of Mr.. Blaines nomination
for the Presidency. so that whatever
may be the result tomorrow, it cannot
be counted as a defeat for Mr.. Blaine. One point
used against Mr.. Cameron in some quarters is the
fact that he went 10 Harrisburg yesterday to hold
a conference with General Grant and then, instead
of going to Philadelphia with the latter. hurried
back to Washington II canvass for the chairman

As TO the place of holding the Convention, all
indications point to Chicago. The Grant men
anxious to have early date for the meeting
liked, preferring date early as the
2Oih of May. The indications point TO the last
week ID May or the first week III June as the time
that viii be chosen.
A general press dispatch says the general impress
sion in Washington Is that the withdrawal of

It looks very much to-day us II there
would be trouble between the chimney
glass manufacturers and their old gather.
ing boys in regard to the wages 10 be paid.
1t will be remembered that according to
the terms Of the compromise, the blowers
accepted a reduction of ten per cent. from
the prices paid previous to the strike, and
the manufacturers proposed to make that
reduction in all departments OF their fac.
tories; 1t was thought up to last week
that this reduction would prove acceptable
TO all concerned, but, it Is said, Mr.. Gil,
the Steubenyille manufacturer, has offered
to pay all the gathcrers who will work for
him the old price, about 81 o. a move.
and this offer has led them 10 refuse to
accept the proposed reduction OF ten per
cent. MIR. Gill, 1t is said, can give en-
ployment In the various factories can
rolled by him to about three hundred
gatherers, and they (the gatherers) say
that as longas he will pay the old rate
they will not accept any reduction.
Mr.. Challinor, OF the firm OF Challinor
Hogan 4 Co., said this morning that they
(the manufaclures) would make every
preparation TO start next Monday, and
that, although the old gatherers might re-
fuse TO work, he had no doubt but that
others could be obtained who would work
on the terms proposed.
The flint glass situation is still in tile
same status ii was on Saturday, botl
parties holding out about tho price to be
paid for a certain kind Of goblets. An
other meeting will be held very shortly,
anu a settlement is regarded as certain.

New YoRK. July 7.-Nearly two thou.
sand emigrants went westward tonight
on the different lines, and the majority OF
them were apparently thrifty and intelli-
gent. They were remarkably robust, and
the men seemed eager and resolute. Fig
ures from the Commissioners Of Immigra-
ton show that there were 1852 imml-
grants who arrived In the month Of June,
1879, against 0, ,7S3 in June of1S7S. In May
1898 immigrants were landed. The In
crease in the immigration for the six
months endingJune 80, as compared with
last year, is l4,S85, the total number OF ar.
rivals being 52,2S4. The vessels from the
other side coming up the harbor this at-
ternoon swarmed with emigrants, and In
the seven days Of July over one thousand
more have arrived. There is a great de-
mand for farm laborers at the Labor Ex-
change attached to Castle Garden. In
June 1861 persons were provided with
employment-l,90S men and 533 women.
! Oh the men 1915 were employed as farm
laborers at the rate OF wages Of $l4 so a
month, with their board. Most OF the
women found work in the city as servants
at an avergge rate Of wages OF $40 so a
month. Tho demand for farm laborers
exceeds the supply, which Is taken as an
evidence OF the thrift OF the immigrants
arriving.
