have friends in the delegation to Cincinnati,
but the Seymour men claim to have "a of the
| ~ delegates, and expect, under the unit rule,
to secure the vote of Illinois at Cincinnati

their own district, and Morrison secured
about a dozen delegates but friends. OF each
claim much more strength for them, and say
that no one has majority of the delegation.
A Brief Council of War.
NV YoRE, June 10sh.-The Forla's
| Philadelphia special says Colonel Mcclure
| telegraphs to the Times from Chicago: " Cen
eral Grant quistly slipped into the Palmer
| House this morning, and l never saw him
| look more gentle or composed He came IN
| heralded, at least TO the multitude. He
! talked pleasantly in passing his acquaint-
ances, walked leisurely to the ladies' parlor,
and the outer doors were closed against all
when he entered. In half an hour he stepped
out III the same transformations manner. and
the faces of Cameron, Logan and Storrs
were visible as the lieutenants with whom
he had been in conference. What trans.
pired in that brief council of war will prob
ably never be known to the public, but after
| Grant had hurried off to the Milwaukee
trein both Cameron and Logan said pub
licly that Grant would be nominated without
opposition in 1884," 1t appears to be the
| confident expectation, according to this
writer, that Carried win be beaten, and one
term of Democratic rule will make Grants
return to the helm Of state q necessity.

How Grant Feels Over tac Result at
| Chicago.
| CHICAGO, June 10Th. The Inter Oceans
Milwaukee special says: During an inter-
view with General Grant this afternoon he
expressed the opinion that Seymour would be
! the nominee of the Democracy. In relation
to the Republican nominee, he said General
Garfield had always been right, and that in
case of his election his administration would
be satisfactory, and in harmony with the ad-
vanced thought of the country. The Cen
eral did not alude at any length to his posi-
tion before the Chicago Convention. lie said
he was grateful to The friends who had stood
| by him there, particularly to Senator Conk-
ling, who should have been nominated.
Doubling Thomascs The Result In
Oregon.
| CHICAGO, june 10sh.-The Inter oceans
Washington special says: The Democrats
are not elated by the news from Oregon.
Several from the Pacific slope bluntly deny
the correctness of the press dispatches that
the State has gone Republican. Senator
| Slater does not give up the State to the Re-
publicans. He says the heaviest Democratic
counties are the last that can be heard from,
and the returns from them may save the
State to the Democrats. He believes the
Democrats have carried the Legislature any
| how, regardless Of what the press dispatches
claim. 1t is known, however, that immigra-
ton into Oregon for the last year has been
very heavy, and mainly from stalwart Repub-
| ican States.

The Mineral Lands Ell.
Especial to the RECORD USIoN.l
| WASHINGTON, June 10th.-The bill reported
from the House Committee Mines and
Mining this afternoon, to provide for the sur
vey and disposal Of mineral lands, is the bill
on that subject which was framed and sent to
Congress by the Public Land Commission,
amended only in few particulars Of no i'm
portance. Stevenson was authorized to re-
port it by bare ma j1rity Of the committee
to-day, and its being placed upon the House
calendar is considered by the Pacific coast
representatives to amount to nothing. The
short bin agreed upon by them OF
the meeting at Senator Jones' resi-
dence, and reported from the same COM
mittee nearly two months ago, has precedence
on the calendar, and will be passed. if any
action at all be taken by Congress concerning
mineral lands, long before the Public Land
Commission measure can be reached, and it
is conceded by the friends of the latter that
the passage of the former will kill their meas
ure The short bill above referred to- and
agreed upon by all the representatives of the
mining States and Territories Including Bel
ford Of Colorado, prescribes general system
of square locations, with the very important
exception of all lodes which have dip of
more than twenty five degrees from the hori
zon, and also allows and protects the location

the right to hold blind ledge by doing $500
worth OF work upon it per annum.
