and Senate, and pressed for passage with
out DELAY. The Public Land Commission
ers' bill is opposed by all the members from
the Far West aud q number from the East,
and yesterdays proceedings in the Com
mittee indicate that it will not become a
law. Senator Jones, in the course OF his
argument before the Committee yesterday,

The Ohio Democratic Convention.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May ga large num-
Der Of delegates are arriving by each train
to attend the Democratic State Convention
tomorrow. Thurman, Payne, Tilden and
Jewett all have headquarters and busy
friends, who are working hard IN the inter-
ests of their favorites. Congressman
Hurd, Lefeyere, Atherton, Finley and Nc
Mahon are already here. Thus far the fac
tions seem very peaceably inclined, and
seem disposed to use honey rather than
vinegar to attract the attention to those
they champion. 1t looks now as if all the
factions will combine to prevent the con-
vention from instructing for Thurman. 1t
is very probable that the convention will
indorse Thurman, but allow the delegates
to go to Cincinnati uninstructed. An at
tempt to do more than this, as matters
now look, will be opposed by the friends of
all the other candidates. Ex-Governor
Bishops friends are openly working for
Tilden, hoping, in this way, to gain sup
port for Bishop for Vice President.
