New Jersey Republscan..

TRENTON, N. J., May 6.-Ths convention assembled at 12 o'clock. The Essex county delegates were out, but subsequently, appeared
 and were loudly oheered as they entered the hall. The caucus decided by vote of 57 to 20 in favor of Halsey, representing the Blaine men, over Courtlandt Parker, who is- Sher- man man. Ex-Serator Fred. Potts, chairman of the State Committee, after calling the con vention to order, gave way to John G. Foster, who read the list of officers. William A. Stiles, of Sussex, member of the New York Tribune staff, was made chairman. In speech he said the Republicans had made the credit
 of the country as good as gold (applause) :;
 that Sherman's earliest years in the party had
 been given to save the nation from death that the Republican party had 2 oenscisnce and was the only one which could be safely trusted with the credit of the nation. W lillian
 Bottle, of Camden, offered 8 resolution
 stating that while the convention re- posed entire confidence in it's delegates to Cincinnati and believed that they would represent ths sense of the Republicans of the State, it was, however, fit that the convention should give expression to the feel ing that the success of the Republican ticket will be best secured by the nomination of J. G. Blaine. The resolution was referred to the committee under the rules. The usual committees were then appointed The slate was nearly broken when Joseph Court, Par ker delegate from Newark, moved that nomi- nations be made at once. This IS an unusual proceeding during the temporary organiza- tion. After three close votes the chairman decided the motion carried. Messrs. SswelI, Thomas H. Dudley of Camden, Samuel H.. Gray of Camden, and Halsey, Parker and Panborn and William Walter Phelps were nominated. Edward A. Walton moved to bal lot, but amid cries of ''No! No ]" the con- vention adjourned until 2:30 p. m., the Chair refusing to entertain MT. Walton's motion on the ground that temporary organization had no right to ballot for candidates
 In the afternoon session ex-Oonsul Dudley was made temporary chairman. MT. Dud- ley, on taking the chair, said the last con- vention he attended was in slavery times, and the contest was over the admission of slavery into the Territories. He attacked the Southern Democracy and brigadier Con- gress, saying if the next was to be the ex- isting one the demand on the Government for Southern war claims would be three times the $60O, GOO, 900 at present asked, for the South he said is more in earnest to day than twenty years ago. MT. Woodruff. of Essex, offered Washburns resolution, which was killed by reference to the com mittee. The committee on resolutions re- ported The resolutions affirm that the in terests of the Union are above those of party 1; demand perfect protection for the ballot in every state, the extension of the public school system independent of sectarianism i; strongly endorse the financial policy of the party which placed the credit of the Govern. ment beyond doubt and affirm that New Jer- sey will cordially support the nominee of the

The Liberals Foreign Policy.
 LONDON, May 6.-Sir Charles Dilke, the newly appointed under secretary for foreign affairs, has permitted himself to be interviewed by correspondent of French paper, and his utterances create much surprise and no little indignation here. Speaking of the for eign policy of the Liberals the Baronet treat cd the grave subject with considerable frank ness. He said "We have succeeded to the l political estate of Lord Beaconsfeld and have made an inventory of the inheritance to the 1 carrying out of the policy bequeathed to us. We are compelled to make some reserve. Now the Afghan question puzzles us good deal, and it is to be hoped that it will bs settled in 1 accordance with our own interests. There is the Zulu King Cetewayo whom we would like to release, but it is out of our power. We may grant the Boers the privilege of semi independence and thus dispose of the African problem"
 Correspondent-How about the Eastern question? Will you cease to uphold the in tegrity of Turkey if she fails to carry out the reforms which she has SO repeatedly prom ised?
 Sir Charles Dilkes-Depend on 1t that Tur- key shall carry out these reforms. We will compel her to execute all the clauses of the treaty of Berlin, even in spite of Prince Bism arck.
 Correspondent-Butt thsn your foreign poll oy will be precisely the same as that of Salisbury. Sir Charles-Exactly. Those who fancy we mean to pursue feeble policy abroad are strangely mistaken. We shall not hold aloof from European politics Our voice shall be heard and shall command respect in l, si, ~e L. however, to raise it only in behalf of liberty and to promote the welfare of all alike. In concert with republican France and free Italy we shall endeavor to cut the gordian knot of the Eastern question by establishing confed- erEtion of free States between the Danube, Adriatic and Grecian seas.
 Correspondent-Then you are opposed to the encroachments of the great powers?
 Sir Oharles-Dscidedly. We shall not tol- crate the encroachments of Austria or Russia; neither Bosnia nor Herzegovina must belong to the Austrian, Turk or Russian. They must is unrelenting hostility against oppression of every kind. As for the power of Russia let me tell you one thing. It would be easier for us to raise Central Asia against Russia than for her to array India against us. If the Slavs are barbarians whose fault is it if not that of the foreign office at St. Petersburg? The Russian foreign minis try is department in which German is prin- cipally spoken, and in which the foreign policy for the past ten years has been manip- ulated by two Prussians and one Swiss. They are Messrs. Westmann and Hamberger and Baron Jomini. We detest the power which oppressed Poland and handed Hungary over to Austria. However, we hold in high esteem the young Russian party, which at Prague and Moscow has resuscitated tho patriotism and generosity of the Slav race.

 NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 6.-The Republi- can State convention reassembled at 9:15 a. m. to-day. lion. A. A. Freeman, attorney for the Postofice department at Washington, introduced a resolution setting forth that it was the sense of the convention that the dele gates to the Chicago convention should be composed of persons who believed that Gen. eral Grant is the first choice of an overwhelm- ing majority of Tennessee Republicans for President; and who will without instructions cast the vote of tho State for him.

 On Monday evening very serious accident | AoEPOhCA HI tA0 tO"h OA 4OAAlb6sO2s A young man by the name of Norton, g son of Deacon Edward Norton, of Goshen, with a span of horses and wagon, and Widow Eliza Gaylord with him, was driving on the road from Torrington to Goshen.
