portion Of the Southern delegates, and
shows that in some cases, where the solid
vote of a State was counted on for Grant,
there is danger Of defections. On the
other hand, there are several Southern del
egates, assumed to be for Blaine or Sher-
man, who are now expected to vote on the
first ballot for Grant. and, in the North
west, the canvass Of delegates reveals more
Grant strength than was given in the
Times estimates. The general impression,
left by . study Of this canvass, will be a
liability of the Southern Republicans to
yield to corrupt influences, which counts
for . good deal more in reckoning the
chances of the various candidates than is
good for the character either Of tho Con-
vention or OF the party. The Tribune
believes that Grant cannot be nominated,
but is not so certain as to who may be.
The Worlds Washington special says:
Blaine remained at his residence yesterday
with his private Geographic operator long
enough to receive the cheering news from
Chicago, and then entered the Senate
Chamber with a smiling eountenance. He
was in q happy mood throughout the day.
and was frequently in the center of a group
of Senators, earnestly engaged in CONVEX
sation.
The World asserts that Mr.. Tilden and
Speaker Randall have guarre!ed, and that
the latter will seek the Cincinnati nomina-
ton for himself. As the World sees a
Tilden in every bush, nobody pays much
attention to its stories concerning hat
gentleman.
The National Committee.
CHICAGO, June 1.-At q meeting Of the
National Committee last evening the fol-
lowing resolutions were offered by Mr..
Chandler
Resolved, That this Committee approves
and ~ratifes the call for the approaching
Republican National Convention which was
issued by its Chairman and Secretary, and
which invites two delegates from each Con-
| gr~essional District, four delegates at large
| from each State, two from each Territory,
| and two from the District of Columbia, to
| compose the convention.
Resolved, That this Committee recog-
nizes the right Of each delegate in q Ma
tional Convention freely to cast and to have
| counted his individual vote therein, accord
ing to his own sentiments, and, if SO, de-
| cides against any unit rule or other in
structions passed by q State Convention.
which right was conceded without dissent,
and was exercised in the conventions Of
1860 and 1868, and was, after a full debate.
| affirmed by the convention of 1875, and has
! thus become a part OF the law Of Republic
can Conventions. and, until reversed by
the convention itself, must remain . gov

mously. To the second resolution Mr.. Cam
eron took exceptions, and it is now under
discussion. Mr.. Chaffee, Of Colorado. who
presented g resolution on the unit rule, ap-
pealed from the decision Of the chair that
it was out of order. The chair (Cameron)
refused to entertain the appeal. Some
business Of minor importance was then
transacted, and . recess was taken for IL
minutes.
The Committee met again at 1890, and
nothing has since transpired as to its action.
Conversations with members Of the com-
mittee indicate that there is likely to be q
warm session, and it ID alleged by some of
them that it is probable that Cameron will
be DISPOSED tonight. Upon the reassem-
bling Of the Committee the following reso-
luton was adopted

Cameron stiIl the Boss.
LATER. -CHrcAGo, June 1.-The excite
ment which prevailed in the city last night
is exceeded by the excitement to-day. 1t
having been announced that at II O'Clock
an adjourned meeting Of the National
Committee would be held, and that a
further refusal of Cameron TO entertain
the anti-unit resolutions would result in
his immediate decapitation. The commit
tee is now, l p. NJ, in session, and the cues
ton at issue is being wildly discussed.
There are two opinions among the major
ity OF the committee, the one led by ex-
Senator Chaffee is for the removal Of Cam
eron, and . radical change Of all the CON-
mittees. The other is held by such men a.
Jewell, OF Connecticut, who will only con-
sent to the removal Of Cameron upon
the refusal Of Conkling and the
other Grant leaders to promise not
to seek to enforce the unit rule
in the preliminary organization. II that
pledge were given, then Cameron and Sec
rotary Keogh were to be left undisturbed.
II they refused, then the conservative men
were TO vote with the radicals for his re-
moval. At LIS an adjournment Of the
National Committee was taken until 2 p.
NJ. 1t 10 reported that Conkling. Logan
and Cameron met the committee, and con-
ceded everything the anti-Grant men de-
manded. w. Z. Chandler has been select
ed by the opposition to take Cameron's
place. 1t now remains to be seen what
will b. done. since this concession has been
made by Senators. The members Of the
say that in the meeting proper
vote, not even one that may be consid-
cred a. indicating the relative strength Of
candidates has been taken.
Tho National Committee reconvened ct
2: so P. NJ. and adjourned after . two
hours session. A member OF the commit
zee SAYS that the conclusions reached were,
that Cameron shonld remain Chairman Of
the committee; that the regular delegations
