several Presidential candidates, OF votes in
the National Convention Blaine, 32l I;
for Grant. 276 /; for Sherman, 1O1; for Ed
munds, 80; for Washburne, IL. The Grant
estimate is For Grant, Ali; for Blaine,
1863; for Sherman. 103 for Edmunds, IS I;
for washburne. 10. The Sherman esti-
mate gives him 227 votes. 1t still seems
probable that Grant will be nominated,
unless the unit rule be smashed.
Among the speakers at the a%nti-third-
term mass meeting this evening, in addi-
ton to Bob Ingersoll, will be Eugene Hale
md Governor Daniel F. Davis of Maine,
Fred. Hassawrek Of Cincinnati, and Hon.
Lewis Parker, who has the reputation Of
being the sharpest and wittiest public
speaker in the State of Maine. If the
weather be rainy the meeting will be held
in Farwell Hall. Large numbers OF dele
gates and others arrived this morning. At
the Grand Pacific there are 400 newly
registered, among them r. G.. IDgersoll,
who will speak tonight at the anti Grant
meeting, provided the weather is clear. II
is believed that four-ffths Of the delegates
are now on the ground, and q considerable
number of alternates. The New Jersey
delegation and most of the Illinois dele
gates arrived this morning. Nothing def
mite has transpired as to the action of the
National Committee, which is to meet this
evening /; but the streets are full Of rumors,
which mention q disposition by Senator
Cameron, and many other ~expedients, for
settling the question of the unit rule.
Comedy has reigned unrivaled at all the
theaters. "Humpty Dumpty" remains at
McVicker's. Edward Arnot will be at
Hooley's in his 7" Victims of Faro" Hyde
& Behman's comedy company are at the
Olympic. The Rentz female MINISTRIES and
Sankey's burlesquers are at Haverly's.
Barnum is on the Lake front. That the
managers have secured this class Of at
fractions during convention week, seems
to require investigation as to the charac-
ter of the politicians who will be here,
whether they are not expected to be more
hilarious than men ON such weighty bust
ness should be.
The Evening Journal, a Washburne pa
per, says: A free conversation with the
more intelligent of the more stalwart dele
gates now in this city from various States,
encourages us to believe that in the event
of Grant or Blaine failing to secure the
nomination, W%ashburne will probably be
the coming man. The Connecticut, Cali
~fornia, Vermont, Wisconsin and Iowa dele
cations assure us that Washburne will re-
ceive their united votes as q second choice.
About half Of the Texas delegation avow
their preference, and hosts OF Germans in
that State declare Washburne to be their
second choice. There are very ardent
Washburne men in the Massachusetts,, New
Jersey. New York, Pennsylvania and Indi-
ana delegations. The second choice Of
Michigan and Vermont, and New Hamp-
shire, is for Washburne, and as soon as
they shall have done their duty for Win
dom, the Minnesota delegation will be for
Washburne.
More Indian Troubles.
ST. LOUIS, May 31.-A special from
Southern New Mexico says: The Indians
attacked a party Of Mexicans at old Fort
Cummings, On Saturday, and one man was
wounded. Major Bird, the Paymaster, who
was passing, pursued the Indians with his
escort. and fought them all the afternoon.
They retreated into Cooks canyon at night,
and since then five dead bodies nave been
found in the canyon, Among them are
those Of Sam j. Lyons and q stage driver.
ALI the bodies are terribly burned. The
stage coach and three wagons were also
burned. It is supposed that three or four,
and perhaps more persons, besides those
found, were massacred. The Indians left
in the direction Of the Florida mountains.
The troops arrived at the scene on Satur-
day, and took up the trail Of the Indians.

An Chicago.
NEW YORK, May 31.-The Tribune's Chi
cago special says A good illustration Of
