pers, but there Is d very perceptible inciin..-
tion to await future developments before sub

members Of the Produce Exchange state that
expected cutting had already begun, and that
a contract on through provisions from Chi

been offered low as 2llsc, the regular rates via
New York being Toe 1t is stated that some
OF the railroad representatives expressed their
conviction that the Boston rate, or even q
lower one, would very soon be given over the
trunk lines to foreign ports by way Of New

DoRsHEINER's VIEWS.
Lieut.. Coy. Dorsheimer says: II think all
the difficulties In the Democratic party have
been harmonized at the State convention aud
we will elect the whole ticket"
A NORTH CAROLINIAN's VIEWS.
Col. George ii. Snow, q member of the
State Senate Of North Carolina, q prominent
lawyer and leading Democrat of Raleigh,
was asked this morning for his opinion OF the
parties In his State. He said "Oh, the Re-
publicans have no show, think, in the State
election. They are not thoroughly united.
They are only united during presidential
contest. There Is much jealousy and ill-feei-
ing between the carpet bagger and the native
Republicans. There Is only one man that the
Democrats fear on the Republican side as a
candidate for Governor-that is, DR.. Eugene
Grissom. He Is very popular with both
parties. Tilden's following is very strong
are tor him, and ! believe he can carry the
State. Senators Thurman and Bayard have
also strong supporters. The exodus fever
has not reached this State. The negroes are
doing well and are satisfied where they are.
There is no buIdozing in North Carolina"
GOV. RoBINsoN's ASPIRATIONS.
Several Of the political friends of Gov Rob-
inson said to-day that he has presidential as
well as other aspirations, and that this Is tue
only reason that he allows his name to be
nsed a second time in connection with the
nomination for Governor. Ii il asserted that
in the event of MT. Tiidens not receiving the
nomination in 1880, he will throw his intlu-
ence in behalf OF Gov. Robinson as the candt-
late. Several politicians agreed in denying
hat Gov. Robinson Is evn now a stronger
nan in New York than ex-Gov. Tilden.
MDoNALD's IDEAS.
Senator Jos. E. Mcdonald, of Indiana, who
8 visiting this city, referring to the Presiden-
ial campaign probabilities, said that be
hought Gen. Grant appeared to be the
candidate and Senator Blaine next
u the Republican side He believed that
Iov. Hendricks had to-day the first and best
hance on the Democratic side, and WAS GER /
ainly the most popular in the Southern
,tates.
CITY POLITICS
There was absolute quiet in the city to-day.
'OliticianS were around as usual but they |
we're not disposed to talk.
What the mayors next move will be is con-
iderably D matter of conjecture, but 1t IL the |
tnerai impression that he will, early next |
7eek, undertake proceedings for the removal |
1 the park commissioners. The Tammany
OEticians appear to feel sanguine that the |
Spected decision in the case Of ex-PoIice
Nichols will be favorable to the
alter, and restore him to his section OF the
oIice board. Should the decision be In his
svor, it would cover the case Of Gen. Smith,
lnce the grounds on which both men were re-
loved are the same, and both would have to
9 reinstated.
