Commissioner Dent, accompanied py Building
Inspector Entwisle, made a visit to-day To the
new school building now In course OF erection
on Massachusetts, avenue. between nth and
18th streets. This work was commenced last
November. and has been pursued with vigor by
the contractor, Mr.. ]. II. Hewlett until the pre-
sent time. and is, so far. very much in advance
OF the time fixed I'm the contract. The time
limited for its completion was November next
and Mr.. Hewlett thinks he will have Il ready
for occupancy by the first OF september, which
will be In time for the school term. The STAIR
ways have been completed and the plasterers
are al work. The ceilings and walls are TO be
sand-flnish, which will require less time than

delegation consisted OF Messrs. r.. A. Bacon II.
r. Clark. Samuel Bower. Samuel Herman and
John Cockerell Commissioner Twining stated
that he sympathised with them, knowing. as he
did. the truth OF much that had been said. It
had been the intention TO do this work, but he
feared that IL would be impossible. Congress
had limited the appropriations in such manner
that IL would be out OF the range OF possibility
TO undertake its pavement, as asked for. It
would cost Sl0O,e00, and so much had been
taken by law from the appropriations for the
building OF public schools that not much could
be done to the streets this year, and what is 10
be done will be confined TO the repairs neces-
sary for the protection OF improvements He
hoped the next Congress would do better for

THE NOMINATIONS THAT FAILED
of confirmation or were rejected. In the case
OF the rejection of c. E. Pelham as associate
Justice of New Mexico. 1t was decided that
the present incumbent held over. In the cases
OF NInith, district attorney for Alabama, and
Btgby, district attorney for Georgia, and others
" no failed OF confirmation, 1t was decided that
the President had the right to appoint.
THE GULNARE UNFIT FOR POLAR SERVICE.
Secretary Thompson submitted to the Cabinet
the second report Of the heads OF bureaus of the
Navy department on the Gulnare. The report
was very decided that she was unfit for the SER
vice. 1t stated that she was leaking now, and
that her boiler was very defective. Her riVet
b. ads are old and not safe. 1t would take
large amount OF money to tit her Tor the service vic,
prC posed. This settles the question or the Gull
mare SO far as the governments participation in
the expedition is concerned.
vICTORIA'S CROSSING INTO MEXICO.
Secretary Ramsey laid before the Cabinet
dispatch from Col. Hatch, that Victoria had
crossed into Mexico, and asking permission to
follow. The state of Chihuahua was willing for
him to follow Victoria within her borders.
The matter was referred to the State depart
ment, through which permission for Ulited
States troops TO follow up VictOrnia will be
asked.
MEASURES TO SUPPRESS RAIDERS INTO MEXICO.
Dispatches were read from the Pacific coast
that an expedition was forming in southern
Arizona to cross into mexico and seize Sonora,
one OF the northern states Of Mexico. IL was
decided that the L. S. troops be used to prevent

pose, or the departure OF any expedition from

The Democratic Convention.
VARIOUS OPINIONS ABoC. CANDIDATES FOR NOM



Congressman rdyers of Indiana, says that II
Seymour sf.Jald be nominated at Cincinnati, he
Will oe antagonized by Tilden and defeated in
New York. Bayard, he Thinks will not be
acceptable to the west. With commendlble
state pride. he thinks that Mcdonald would be
the strongest man the democracy could put up,
though Thurman would be an available candi-
date. as would Judge Field.
Gen. Hooker, OF Mississippi, speaking for the
south, says that section Of the country will be
satisfied with any good man the Cincinnati con-
ventlon may In It's wisdom nominate. IS We
II he is nominated think he will be elected.
Ttlden will not, in my opinion, be able to do
Seymour much damage In that event" Gen.
Hooker thinks Field would prove to be strong
candidate, and one who could carry California
and perhaps other of the Pacific states.
Representative Bright leaves to-day for his
home In Tennessee. He will not take in the
Cincinnati convention, as he dislikes the dis
comforts OF heated or overcrowded city. In
alluding to the democratic situation, he said
that If Seymour and T1lden were determined to
throw both overheard and nominate a new
man, one from some other state. He shares the
opinion OF most OF the western democrats,
namely. that an eastern nomination VIII not be
a wise or safe one.
Representative Covert, of New York, said last
night that he believed Mr.. Tilden would be able
likelihood name the candidate. He did not say
who he thought Mr.. Tilden would choose but
assented to the proposition that Mr.. Randall
stood very high in the confidence and esteem OF
the sage of Gramercy Park.
Representative Haskell, of Kansas, has no
very high opinion of Mr. Seymour's invincibill-
ty. "He has been twelve years out Of politics, ~
said he, land in that time whole army Of
voters has come into the field. They do not
know Mr.. Seymour, and perhaps little of his
history. His name will have nothing of magic
in 1t for them. With such a ticket as Seymour
and Davis, or Tilden and Davis, the republicans
would not have hard fight of 1t. Davis rec
ord On the financial questions will make him
one OF the weakest OF candidates.
Senator BeckS ticket Is Seymour and Thur
man.
Senator Blaine said to a democratic Senator
lately when the latter spoke OF nominating Sey-
mour at Cincinnati, 'He is not your strongest
man." When asked whom he thought the
strongest Tor the democracy, he answered
promptly Hancock.
Seym0urS peremptGry refusal to be candi-
GATE seems to have SO little weight with his
party that conspicuous democratic member OF
the House OF Representatives said, with empha-
sis, this week, when told that Seymour should
hot be bulldozed into accepting the nomination:
IF he were as near and dear to me as my wife
is, and knew that the campaign Tor the presi-
dency would kill him, l would, If In my power
tcIce him 10 accept the nomination If could
be assured that he would only live long enough
10 be tQaugllTateQ President"

Gen. Garfield in Washington.

The resident members of the Society of the
Army OF the Cumberland, Of which Gen. Gar
field is member, gave banquet to him last
night at the Riggs House. The large dining
hail OF the hotel was decorated with portraits
OF Gems. Garfield and Thomas and a prOfuSion
OF HagS. At pm. Gen. Garfield entered, lean
ing upon the arm OF Gen. sherman, and was
bers remaining standing until Gen. Sherman
called the assembly to order. Gen. Sherman
sat at the head OF the table. with Gen. Garfield
on his right Secretaries Schurz Ramsey, Sher-
man and Thompson, Postmaster General Key
and Attorney General DevenS occupied seats at
the same table with Gems. Garfield and Sher-
man. Gen. Sherman announced that the meet
Ing was f0r the purpose OF welcoming their
comrade OF the army of the Cumberland, Gen.
Garfield. Gen. Arson 6. McCOOk or New York
III brief speech, introduced Gen. Garfield
as one WHO had always done his duty In war
ard who was, therefore, entitled 10 the high
est CIVIC h0norS that could be given HIM.
GIN. GARFIELD's REMARKS.
Gen. Garfield then rose and was received with
enthusiastic applause. He said he knew OF
nothing more difficult than for man to speak
OF such compliments as had been paid him
without embarrassment; but there was some
thing In the character OF solderhoOd which
gives freedom to speak, and makes one feel
and think without embarrassment. The men
who were present, he said, had been so tried IN
war that their sympathies ran out to each
other. He did not feel at this time like in-
dulgfng In the jlngling talk of politics He paid
high compliment to the acts OF the volunteer
soldiers of the army as we'll as to the regulars,
ard said he never felt the jealousy OF the regu-
lars which some people felt. Both arms had
done their full duty, and he rejoicad in the
conduct OF the regulars as he did IN that OF the
volunteers. The war had resulted in one army
and one nationality Referring to the motives
which actuated the soldiers of both the north
ern and southern armies during the rebellion,
he said beth sides believed they were right. In
conclusion, he said. with regard to the conduct
OF our foes he believed many of them now had
become the nObeSt OF OlIr friends and thar
the country was now In spirit as lG was In
name-0ne people, with one Tag and with one
destiny.
After the close OF Gen. Garfeld's remarks a
nun Der OF toasts were proposed and responded

Key, Secretary Thompson aud others.
