THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
General James A. Garfield for Presi-
dent-and Hon. Chester A. Ar
thur for Vice President.

For nearly week, or ever since
last Wednesday, all eyes have been
turned toward Chicago, and the
country has awaited in breathless ST.
lence the result of one of the greatest
political conventions ever held in the
United States. Every item of news
from headquarters was greedily picked
up, digested aud commented upon
until everybody was worked up to
almost fever heat. The general Gen.
timent in this section, and we might
say all over the Union was, as four
years ago, for Blaine, but the expert
ence Of that convention taught the
people not to build too much Oh his
nomination, and as the convention
progressed his friends became more
and more doubtful as to his chances,
and in fact had about given up the
hope of his being nominated, and had
begun to think that Senator Ddmunds
would be the successful Ozark horse"
But The action of a political con
vention is getting of late to be as much
Of a conundrum as the verdict of a
jury, and this one was no exception to
the general rule.
The first ballot stood Grant 304,
Blaine 284, Sherman 81, Washburne
81, Edmunds 80, Windom 10. Not
until the 7th ballot did Garfield re-
ceive a vote. The balloting resulted
about this way until the 36th ballot
was reached, when Blaine's friends
made rush, at it we're, for Garfield
nominating him. The vote stood or
this ballot: Garfield 800, Grant 3O6
Blaine AZ, Sherman 3, Washburne 5
On motion the nomination was mad,
unanimous. Whoever may feel dis
appointed in the result, the countr,
may we'll be congratulated upon il
The Convention could not have Sc
lected better candidate from tn
whole list Of contestants. Gen. Jane
A. Garfield has been in public life 70
the last twenty years. and he has stoo
10 the front ranks of the prominer
statesman of our times, and he ha
made a record that cannot be ao

course don't pay any attention to her
stories, and she thinks she is much
wronged man, or woman,-I don't
know which she calls herself. AL
though laughed at by everybody you
could not help but sympathise with
her, and after having few minutes
chat you would go away not deriding
hut plying her. She is quite poor,
and gains a'livelihood, presume, by
book canvassing aud the generosity Of
some of the charitable citizens.
Although the Susquehanna being
rather shallow and filled with rocks,
is not very good stream for aquatic
sports, yet nightly it is covered with
pleasure boats Of all descriptions. A
number of our young men have formed
club and now own five shells, valued
at about $500, together with boat
house. From the pracieing going on
you may hear OF them in contest
some Of these days.
Yesterday (Friday) some little ex.
citement was occasioned by the burn.
ing of a wall paper store house owned
by A. b. Teck. The building, a frame
structure, two stories high, was com.
pletely gutted, together with its con-
tents, which will involve a loss OF
several thousand dollars, the store
being the finest in the city.

versely criticised. Such nomination
challenges the admiration Of the whole
country, and will receive the united
support of the whole Republican party.
We have no time to comment farther
todsy.
Gen. Chester A. Arthur, of New
York, was nominated for Vice Presi.
dent on first ballot. The Convention
did not complete its work until late
last evening, so we are unable to give
but the mere facts this morning.

STATE CAPITAL JOTTlNGS.

HARRISBURG, PA, June 8, 80.
We are having rather quiet time
Of it this week, all the interest centre.
ing in AMI all the talk being about
the Chicago convention. Las week l
spent in Washington and being very
busy could not find time to send my
usual letter. There, as we'll as here
the thermometer for several days
mounted to aud remained at go in
the shade, which coming on as it did
SO suddenly, was almost insufferaole.
Since the first Of this week, however,
the temperature here has been decid-
edly cooler making heavy clothing
feel quite comfortable, and straw hats
look out of place, SO to speak.
While IN Washington 1 met and
had quite long talk with the famous
DIR. Mary Walker. She is the same
quaint figure that we have seen around
the large cities for years, seeming
never to change. Were she to dress
in female attire she would make quite
nice quiet little woman, being of
medium height with dark brown hair,
which she wears short, however, and
pleasant blue eyes. Attired as she is
in long, badly fitting frock coat,
with pants and vest to match, white
shirt and collar with little blue bow,
and on her head small brown straw
hat, she presents the appearance of an
efeminate young countryman ofabout
% years of age. She holds her age
we'll az | can remember her when
was quite young. During our con-
versation, which lasted for over an
hour, and which, though she is a little
"cracked," was quite interesting, she
assured me that she had seen Booth,
the assassin Of President Lincoln, soon
after he had committed the deed, that
she met him at Evansville, Ind, and
that as she had known him before she
could not be mistaken, and that to. day
he was in Europe. She also stated that
she had seen Charlie Ross, the child
that was abducted from Philad'a, and
that the parents of the child would
not own him, and that she knew where
he was to-day, and could put her hanC
on him at any moment. Did you no
know her to be ga little Off you coulC
not help believing her as she tells he
story in such PLAUSIBLE manner anC
has so many proofs to back up her as
sertions. The authorities knowing thr
enfeebled condition Of her mind o
