THE NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN DELEGATES.
There is much talk in Washington political
circles about the capture of the Republican
State Central Committee of North Carolina
by the Sherman interest, and the election of
Convention. TIE news created much sur
prise here, and is conceded to be an unques-
tionable setback to the Grant boom, as North
Carolina was one of the States most conf
IDENTIFY relied upon to send solid Grant dele
CATION to Chicago. General Grants friends
allege that the whole influence and patronage
of the Administration has been exerted in
North Carolina in Sherman's interest. They
will still labor, however, to secure the Dis
tr,ct Deiegates' and are Sanguine OF securing
al Oh Iheh.

worked up. A formal invita-
ton will be sent to thejt'rench Government
to participate in the ceremonies, and the
