The Presidential Campaign.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. lS.-The "Re-
cord" has made canvass of the 46
delegates to the State Convention from
Philadelphia, with q view to ascertain.
ing their personal preference for Presi.
dent. The most surprising thing is
that Secretary Shermsn's name was
not mentioned by a delegate, and NOT
one referred to him. The leaders Of
the party were for Conkling, three of
the most influential declaring for him.
Two of these members-Leeds and NJ.
Manes-were at the head of the cele-
hrated white and black hat dele
cations which went from this city in
1873 to the State Convention. Their
leaning toward Conkling is significant.
Blaine's name heads the list, IA mem
bers declaring for him. Thirteen have
no choice. The Grant feeling is con-
fined to but 3 members; Grant or Blaine,
4 Hayes, l.; Blaine and Washburne,
l. All the delegates are in favor of a
united delegation and want Pennsylva.
MIA to stand solid. A resolution in
structing the delegation to be governed
by majority vote will be introduced
in the State Convention. The total
obliteration of the Sherman boom is
considered somewhat remarkable.

DECIDING HAYDEN's FATE.
The Jury stiil Deliberating How
they speot sunday.

New HAVEN, Jan. ls.-The Hayden
jury remained locked up in the Court
house all day to-day. They were not
confined to the jury-room, however,
but were allowed the freedom of the
entire second floor of the county house.
This morning clean linen, razors, and
other toilet appliances were provided
for them. A peep through the shutter :
of one of the windows OF the courtroom
this evening revealed the jurors in the
act of holding praise service, Juryman
Thrall occupying the Judges bench and
acting as leader. "Lord dismiss US with
Thy blessing was sung with much
gusto, and was followed by several OF
Moody and Sankey's selections and
"John Browns Body" Although
nothing has really "leaked" out, the
opinion generally prevails that the
Jury are very near an agreement OF
some kind, 10 to 2 in favor of acquit-
val being the most generally accepted
opinion.
When the court adjourned last
night Hayden was taken back 10 his
old quarters at the County Jail, where
he slept well last night and much OF
the time to-day. He received no call
ers to-day, having expressed desire
to be alone. He has entirely resumed
his usual equanimity and calmly
awaits the, outcome of the jurors de-
liberations. Mrs. Hayden, who was
completely Frustrated by the Judges
charge, was in a more hopeful frame of
mind to-day.
The Rev. M. II. HouRhton, of the
Church OF the Messiah, (Universalist,)
took advantage Of the prevailing inter
est to announce through the press that
he would preach sermon on "The
Hayden Triat' this evening. A large
audience was naturally attracted, but
there was general disappointment, as
the sermon was a very non committal
affair. 1t is expected that the jury
will come in when the court opens to-
morrow morning and announces either a
verdict or disagreement. In case OF
the latter they will undoubtedly be sent
out again.

ing.
Last evening Rev. DR.. Sampson de-
livered very entertaining lecture on
the aboye-named subject in which he
alluded to the cresd's inception, its
growth and the manner ia which it has
percolated into the very innermost re-.
cesses OF Oriental custom. lie spoke Of
Mahomet, its founder; of his troubles
and ultimate success. How he went to
Mecca to preach and disseminate the
doctrines made known to him by reve-
lation. Here the speaker analyzed the
system which the prophet materialize1
from dreamland and in what manner
they surround the fabric with plagiar-
lzed ideas from he scripture
The creed of M&homst, the speaker
said is materially the same as that of the
Christian, with thu exception that the
former is the doctrine of unitarianism,
in which the existence of a truDe God
is ignored and further that all the good
the religion OF Mah0mst possesses rad
iates from the living Nazarene princi-
pies with which the system is largely
romp posed.
TIE speaker followed the fortunes
of Mahomet from the time he was dIi-
Ven from the thresholds of Mecca. Then
~ vas fifty one years Of age, in the
prime Of life. Departing from the gates
of this city he passed on towards Me-
d ma which he entered July 22nd, 622,
A. d. Here the tide of his fortune be-
gan to turn and gradually his teaching
spread. Soon he became q power. To
meet questions created by the weak
points of his doctrine, new revelations
came to him and his religion passed
out from the walls of Medina unto the
wild nomads of the desert a warlike in
stitution on the tablets OF which was
written tue principle: those who per-
ish in the cause are righteOusly rewar
ded
These Arabs with Imagination fed by
teaching that promised rivers of wine,
of milk, of honey, troops of beautiful
women gorgeous y clad, bowing in sub
mission to thir slightest will, together
withall CELESTIAL estheticism the beauties
Of which were beyond the conception OF
even the most sensuous, gave their
lives a willing sacrifice. And the
sword welded with reckless bravery
by these fanatical bands cut into the
bone and sinew of Hindooism and this
grand old pagan boliefgradually waued
in the gloom and sadness of its own de-
parting shadows.
The speaker, after alludiug to the
success Of Mahern Ellison, referred to
its position in connection with other
rreeds as for instance the Jews. An
individual Of this belief cannot become
disciple of Mohammed unless lie is
first Christian. In this faith he must
acknowledge the existence of Christ,
and as an evidence of his sincerity he
must eat pork.
Other interesting references were
made, after which Washington Jones,
Esq moved that the gentleman be ten
dered vote of thanks for his instruc-
tive discourse. A rising vote was taken,
after which the audience, which was a
large one, was dismissed.

MEssRs EDiToRs:-There can be no

rooted and we'll organized plan to steal
and turn the Government of the United
States over to the Democratic party. The
evidence is too plain to be any longer
doubt, d. The extra session OF Congress
fully develops that their first plan was
to repeal the election laws stop the
pay Of the Deputy Msrshals, and take
from the President his constitutional
rights, that they might be- able to cast
a fraudulent vote in enough of the
Northern States to give them majority
of the Electoral vote, or chance to
count in their President. But to day
they have no hopes of carrying a single
Southern State next November, with
any kind of fair election and fair count,
hence the Maine plan Is their latest re-
sort. The steal in Maine means more
than simply the stealing of a State, it
meansthe killing of bigger game than
that. 1t means to steal the Presiden-
tial chair and rush for the Treasury.
Some Democrats are wise enough to try
to make the people believe that the Flu
sionists in Maine are the only ones to
blame for the fraud but preparations of
the poll lists for the clerk of elections
show plainly that they were gotten up
to deceive and entrap the voters of
Maine; and that the whole fraud was

The boast of the South has been all the

ballot box what they lost by the sword.
The South don't want any more blood
shed by Northern men ON Southern soil |
They are afraid to trust the Northern
Democracy, the Northern Democrats
know their strength consists in the
solid South. Hence The plan of opera
