 CINCINNATI, June 18.-The most interest ing piece of news in Cincinnati to-day is the announcement that the Supreme Court of h. diana has decided that the amendment to the constitution providing that the State election should occur in November is unconstitutional on the ground that majority of the votes cast were not in it's favor, the court assuming that all votes cast for county officers at the time the amendment was voted on must be counted in deciding the result. This makes Indiana an October State and nulliies the claim of the Ohio delegates that Thurman should have the nomination in order to keep the natural Republican majority in the only close October State down to the lowest possi- ble limits. The decision served to concen- trate the Hendricks boom, and Hon. Oscar B. Hood of Indianapolis, who is its chief man. ager, has taken fresh courage. His hsadquar- ters at the Burnett House are tonight the most busy in the city. Their claim for nomi- nation is that, no matter what other States are carried by the Democracy, no President can be elected without the vote of Indiana, and that Governor Hendricks is the only man that can carry it. They deny that the State is purely Democratic, but assert that it can be made so with Hendricks, while there is use trying to carry Ohio, which never went Democratic in presidential year since Fremont was nominated. The campaign seems to be much simplified by several facts which have this afternoon come to the surface. The most interesting of these is a statement made by William Scott, of Erie, Pa, who can speak by the card if any one can, that Samuel J. Tilden will not be made candidate before the convention. This statement was made to General Franklin, of Hartford, Ct., in pres ence of several gentlemen and without any injunction of secrecy. During the same con- versation another gentleman, personal and political friend of Speaker Randall, declared positively that Randall's name would not be permitted to go into the convention for bal lots and that he was not in any sense can didate. Added to this is the fact that Spear, an editor of the Enquirer, hitherto a strong supporter of Seymour, declared this evening that he has received such information to-day as to warrant him in asserting that Seymour will not under any circumstances accept nomination even if rendered him. and that there will be authoritative announcements of his declination in the convention if this Is necessary to prevent the delegates from vot- ing for him.
 The friends of General Hancock are talk ing advantage of all reports to create infiu- ence in favor of their man among the friends of the other gentlemen named. They have established headquarters at the new Central Hotel, under the management of General Franklin of Connecticut, General Smith of New York, Hiram Atkins of Vermont and Judge Jerry Black. The basis of their cam paign is this. That, as General Thomas Ewing said to the Democratic convention months ago, the candidate of the Democratic party this year must be one who was openly, un- mistakably and uncompromisingly support CT of the Government during the war for the Union; that Hancock more than any other man embodies that idea; that there is no doubt that Garfield will poll the entire strength of the Republican party, but there is vast number of voters who don't belong to the party, who care nothing for party who will vote for the best man; that this is par ticularly true of the soldier element all over the Union; that the record of the General so completely overshadows that of Garfield that it will attract 8 majority of all the sol diers; that he most truly represents the idea of the supremacy of civil authority of all the Democratic candidates; that he most truly represents the idea that the results of the war are fixed and unalterable, and that his candidacy will make Pennsylvania doubtful,
 
 ularity of the man, but because of the d1sap- pointment of the Republican leaders; that Connecticut could be carried by him and that Illinois would be rendered close, if not Democratic, because of the dissatisfaction of the Republicans and the influence of the State ticket with Lyman Trumbun at it's head The strength of the Hancock vote IS now reckoned by them at between seventy and eighty votes.
 Hon. John Kelly and Hon. Augustus Schel, of New York, are among to-night's arrivals and are quartered at the Burnett House. The New Jersey delegation arrived tonight. Ex- Senator Taylor says he had long talk with Seymour, and knows that if the convention nominates him and adjourns he would not ac- cept.
 Another important boom based on the withdrawal of Tilden is that in favor of Payne of Ohio. The Payne men consider their can didate the national legatee of Tilden and urge in his behalf that he is the strongest man that he will unite the various factions in New York, will poll 1000 more votes than Garfield in the Ohio western reserve, IS Q statesman of national reputation and eminent ability, and will be able to carry more doubtful States than any other man yet named
 TIlden Still i'm the Race.
 NEW YORK, June 18.-The last of the dele gates from San Francisco, Nevada and Or egon arrived in this city yesterday and took the cars last night for Cincinnati. Several of the Californians waited on Tilden for the purpose of getting decided answer whether he was or was not candidate for the Presi- dency During the interview Tilden informed the delegates that he was still candidate, and had no idea of withdrawing, being as- sured that he should meet with the necessary support in the convention. He refused to commit himself as to whom he would trans e.. | -sz: -1,< 1,,~
 Thurman Working Up His Canvass.
 COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 18.-Judge Thur man had conference to-day at the Neil House with closed doors with twenty seven of the Ohio delegation. He says that he only desired to consult as to plan of action, and that the greatest unanimity prevailed and everything was satisfactory 10 him. dele gate says the only object was to feel the delegates and discover their sticking quail ties. All declared their determined adherence to Thurman. It is asserted the delegation will remain with Thurman and have not yet settled on 8 second choice. The Thurman club will leave at p. m. tomorrow.
 New York Democrats or for Cincinnati.
 NEW YORK, June 18.-The main body of the regular Democracy, numbering about five hundred left the Grand Central depot at 7:30 this evening for Cincinnati. It was openly stated that no part of the Tammany party would be admitted as delegates to the con vention. There was considerable enthusiasm among the delegates, who are mostly Tlden men, and a loud cheer went up as the train left. Mayor Cooper accompanied by ex-Po- lice Commissioner Mclean and select party left tonight for Cincinnati. The Tammany
