Eject of Abolishiug Tolls on the Louis.
vile Canal.

It is now officially announced that on
and after Thursday, July lst, 1880, all tolls
at the Government locks, Louisville canal,
will be abolished.
The Louisville and Portland canal is two
miles long, on the Kentucky side Of the
river. The Ohio, in that distance, has a
fall Of 81 feet, to overcome which requires
three locks, each 4SO feet long by 90 wide.
In 1874 the Government assumed control
and tolls were greatly reduced. For many
years the tolls were Atty cents per ton on
coal. On coal boats about $40; on barges
half that sum; on model barges about $25.
SUBJ sequently the rates were reduced to the
sChednIe now In force: On square barges,
45O tons, s cents per ton, or S. 60; on
boats, $50 tons, the same toll, or s. so; on
model barges, 600 tons, 10 cents per ton
or So 90.

NEw YoRK, June 2l.-The army worms,
after their ravages in Long Island, New
Jersey and Delaware, have divided their
forces and sent out bands to the north
ward, which attacked everything on their
way to the vicinity OF Hartford and New
Haven, Connecticut. Those in New Jer-
sey have crossed over into Pennsylvania,
and, in detached parties, are plundering
the fields In Lancaster county. They eat
everything there but the tobacco, which
has not been touched. As the first hatch
ing Of the crop OF worms is fast changing
into the chrysalis state, it Is hoped that
the pest everywhere will soon leave.

TiE great National Democratic Conven.
ion meets in the famous Music Hall at
Cincinnati, to-day at noon. Nothing much
will be accomplished to-day beyond per.
haps elIrclipg an organization, and the
appointment Of committees. There are
no such contests to be decided as came
before the Chicago Convention. Hence
il is not probable that the Cincinnati
Convention will be in session over three
days The Chicago Convention only
reached It's nominations at the close Of the
fourth day, and wass six days in session be-
lbte choice was made. The Democracy
will get through sooner than that. Tilden

Socialists are divided into several lvari
ties; none OF whom, however, are tht
same as Communists. The latter are des
tructives, who would lend verybody and
everything by force OF necessity, and par
Gel out property in the same way. Social
lists generally are people who have lesi
violent ideas; who hold that the world IL
wrongly organized; that the weak neet
better protection; that labor needs greater
rewards; that wealth should be restrained
and cut down, that education, and all 80
cial advantages need to be readjusted
and, in word, that mankind need to be
radically reconstructed.
The law you refer to was passed at The
first session Of the 4lst Congress in 1859

recited that sin order 10 remove any doubl

is solemnly pledged to the payment IN coin

Is the Word that Comes from Cincinnati
Possible Combination Between New
York, Indiana, Connecticut and New
Jersey.
CINCINNATI, o., June 2l.-The Pres
idential situation, tonight, is best de-
scribed by the phrase, "all at sea-" yet,
the chances OF some Of the more promi'
nent candidates have been reduced. An
important meeting OF the Ohio delegation
was held this afternoon, and resulted in
a surprising action. The Thurman men
and anti.Thurman men came early into
collision over the selection OF the Chair
man Of the delegation. General Durbin
Ward was put up to represent the former
and Mr.. Alex. Long, the latter. The vote
by ballot, stood, 20 for Ward, to "a for
Long.
This result surprised the Thurman men
who had confidently expected maiori-
ty. The result Of this is, that while on
the first and second ballots the solid vote
OF Ohio will be cast for Thurman, after
that the Payne men are likely to have
control. Whether this will be sufficient
to influence New York to unite for Payne
remains to be seen. The Tammany men
are hoping for something else.
1t appears that most OF the Southern
States are here uncommitted; that while
their delegates will more largely vote for
Bayard than any other, yet they have in
dicated to the Northern States that they
will support the man New York, Con-
necticut, New Jersey and Indiana unite
on as the one most likely to carry those
States. The three States first named are
In caucus, but no conclusion has yet been
reached. Whatever the result It seems
probable that whoever receives ma
jority Of the votes Of these States will be
the nominee.

The Now York Delegation accept Til.
den's DecIination.
CrSclNxArl, June 2l.-Tilden is out Of
the contest. This seems to be at last def
initely settled, and delegates and other
candidates breathe easier in consequence.
Tilden has secured such an unenviable
reputation as designing and insincere
politician that nobody seems disposed to
believe that his declination was intended
to be final. But the New York delegation
took him at his word and gracefully retir'
ed him. At meeting Of that body this
morning, the Nebraska delegation, head
ed by DR.. George L. Miller, editor OF the
Omaha Herald, appeared in the rooms and
made last appeal for the old man, but 1t
was OF no use. His fate was sealed. He
had to 20, and they let him down as easy as
possible by adopting q resolution which de-
clares, substantially, that the Democracy
OF New York owes him debt OF gratitude
for his services to the State aud to the
Democratic party, and regret exceedingly
his explicit refusal to allow his name "a
be used In the Convention in Cincinnati
with the denomination and reelection to
the Presidency.
This dlsposes OF Tilden, for. while
there Is nothing In the language OF the
resolution that could not be evaded by the
desire TO press his name, that desire does
not exist and there Is general acquiescence
among the seventy to let Old Samue
slide and look out for another favorite

The South is reported to be ready ant
willing to support any man the north car

Hancock or anybody else, and is waiting

Randall are pulling together and the com
blnation Is q strong one, Cassidy, how
ever, says all will not hold. Barge
saws that while Randall caa transfer hi
forces TO Bayard, the latter cannot Civ
his strength TO the Speaker.
II Randall should be able to dictate tn
nomination OF Bayard, II would give hin
strong claims on the administration In tb
event Of Bayard's election, and should b
fall himself, this Is probably what he vii
do.
