Republican National convention.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The principal
topic of conversation at the hotels and
elsewhere tonight ia the probable action OF
the National Republican Committee. The
opinion seems to prevail that Senator Cam
eron will be elected chairman, though Rep
resentative Frye undoubtedly has consid-
cradle following. There was some opposi-
ton this afternoon among the older MEM
bers of the committee to the election Of
Senator Cameron, and General Ave,ill, Of
Minnesota, developed some strength.
Chicago is still favored as the place at
which the convention will be held, and
those who have been moot strenuously OPP
posed to the convention going there, now
concede that the question ia pretty conclu-
sively settled in Cnicsg)'s favor.
Late dispatches say that Cameron's
chances for the charm snship lead, while
Chicago is the strongest for the place for
holding the convention, though Saratoga is
prominently mentioned.

Sr. LOUIS, Dec. l5.-Taking of the depo-
sitions in the libel suit of Csrlotta Patti
az sinst the Post-Dispa,ch commenced to-
day and the testimony of PATHS agent and
waiting maid were taken. Patti is now
testifying and it il expected she will make
a full statement Of all the circumstances in
the case.
Lsst nights dispatches say tina. Msdame
Chizzols and husband, tho manager of the
Patti troupe, were examined this afternoon
and both gave the ciutatrice a most excel
lent reputation as q temperate woman.
They said that she meyer drinks anything
except little claret and water at elmer
never drinks strong liquor, and only once
in q long while little ale. They denied
emphatically that Patti was intoxicated or
even under the il hence of liquor when at
Leavenworth, and declared the statements
published in The TINES of that city were
false. She was sick, they said, from a
very severe cold caught at Omaha and
could not sing.
Henry Keiten, the pianist of the troupe,
was ALEC examined, and made about the
same statement::as Chizz olia and his vile.
Ali had known Patti number of years and
testified to her general good conduct and
temperate habits.
Patti did not testify to-day as was e1-
pected, but probably will to morrow.

Newspaper Libel Suits.
I dorchester. Herald

Libel suits against newspapers are rarely
successful, and never SO unless the plaintiffs
have . strong substratum of justice. beneath
their claim. That can hardly be affirmed
of case in which the Utica Observer il
the defendant. The plaintiffs in this Gaze,
Messrs. johnson 4 Miles. OF Brooklyn, are,
or we're subscription book publishers, and
issued history which they agreed to COM
plete in . certain number OF installments,
but, instead of doing 80, delivered to their
Subscribers the Last number of an unfinished
work, with the announcement that, to get
the book completed, they must renew their
subscriptions. A correspondent OF the
Utica Observer sharply censured that ar
rapgemeni, Lereupon the publishers sued
the propri,; re- of that paper for $780,
OcO. The c was first tried in Brooklyn,
the home OF the plaintiffs, and the jury
brought in . verdict of no cause for action,
It vas then appealed BY the plaintiffs to
the ,neral texm Of the supreme court,
when sfifmed the judgment Of the court
below. Perhaps the suit will be carried TO
the court of appeals, but the plaintiffs are
pretty likely to have the costs to pay at
the end and be rather unpleasantly adver-
tised in the bargain.
The Observer is to be congratulated upon
Its success, not only in repeating an assault
upon its bank account, but in vindicating
the rights Of the pree to expose and de-
nounce -uch proceedings - those, for con.
demning which II was prosecuted.
