| The cincinnati Convention = T.lden's
! ~Chances-Seymo Candidacy.
| NEW York, June 14th.-The Tribune says
! Up to the present date SO of the 3S States
have chosen delegates to Cincinnati, or 694 Of
the 7SS delegates comprising the Convention
| As none of them are absolutely instructed for
any candidate, it is impossible to make cal
culation CT the strength of the various as
pirants, which will be more than approxi-
mately accurate. Enough is known of the
preferences Of the delegates, however to make
it apparent that the Convention will be
strongly against the denomination of Tilden.
| Giving him the New York delegates solid,
and the votes of all other delegates which he
has even prospect of securing, and his total
vote ta-day is only 90, while the combined
vote OF all bis rivals and delegates uncom-
mitted is 25f. Hancock has 80 votes, Bay
ard 80, Thurman 50, Field SO, Seymour %,
| Hendricks II, and "a votes are uncomrnitted.
| The Times Washington special says
Senator Herman has gone TO New York to
consult with Seymour in relation to his
nomination at Cincinnati, and will return
with report Tuesday. Since the Chicago
nomination the Democrats recognized the
necessity of nominating their best man, and
an almost universal demand has sprung up
! among the Democrats here for Seymour. The
contradictory statements touching Seymour's
! feelings in the matter have caused the Demo-
Gratis in Congress considerable annoyance,
and Herman has gone to New York with a
view Of getting from Seymour positive and
authoritive statement as to whether he would
accept the Democratic nomination. If he
decides in the affirmative, the indications are
that he will be nominated without serious
opposition.
The Electoral Count ELL -RnnOred Re-
mOyal OF RaIm.
NEW York, June 14th.-A Washington
special says: Republicans will begin iilibus-
tering against the electoral count bill, and
the Democrats, as Congress is to adjourn on
Wednesday, will not attempt to force the
passage of the measure.
The same authority says Commissioner
Raum is to be removed because of his parti-
san action at the Chicago Convention in fa-
vor of Grant and against Sherman. This
reason of course will not be publicly given
cut, but others will be substituted.
The Times Washington special says on the
subject: The President is represented as
feeling dissatisfied with the Commissioner
not because of his individual preference for
any particular candidate, but because he
openly disregarded the civil service order,
after his attention had been specially directed
to it, and because he violated the personal
order OF the President in this matter. 1t is
further reported that the President has vir-
tually decided to suspend the Commissioner
soon after the adjournment of Congress.
The Suns Washington special says that
Sherma will not be satisfied with the decapi-
tation of Raum, but that several Collectors
and other officers will have to go.

An Absurd Story OF a Republican Con-
sairacy.
NEW YORK, June 14th.-The Suns Wash
ington special says: There is an absurd story
of Republican conspiracy in the electoral
count bill, whereof the following are brief
features First-To prepare, in event of the
election of a Democrat, contesting list of
electoral votes from the States which have
been carried by small majorities by the Dem
ocratic candidate. Second-To insist upon
the power of Wheeler Vice President, to
open, count and declare the result of the
votes. Third-1o insist that Wheeler, acting
in ministerial capacity, but for the occasion
vested with judicial powers beyond the right
of appeal or reviewal shall declare the result
as it may seem for him to do. Fourth-Te
maintain that Senators representing the
States and the members representing the
people of tie States shall submit to the decree
| of Wheeler. Fifth-In the event of both
houses failing to accede this arbitrary power
to the Vice President, the minority will at
tempt by revolutionary means to inaugurate

Morm0nism on the Increase.
NEw YORK, june 14th.-W. C. Stains the
Mormon immigrant agent, who has recently
arrived from Salt Lake City, told q World
reporter yesterday that, notwithstanding
Evarts' anti Mormon circular of last year,
the movement toward this country of
European Mormon proselytes is more active
than ever. 81 expect" said he, "that the
arrivals this year will be larger than for
many years past. Our Church authorities
sent abroad early this season forty additional
missionaries who will not return for two
years. We have now in England, Scanda-
navia, Germany, Switzerland and Holland
about 100 propagandists of our faith, who
have left . tab for the sole purpose Of MAX
ing converts in Europe. They are as
sisted by several hundred local Ed
ers, who are commissioned as such in
every community where Mormon interest
gains the slightest foothold" Very few of
the newcomer are settling in Utah. Its
best farming lands are all taken up and held
at higher prices than the immigrants can pay.
Agents are sent, therefore, from Salt Lake
City into Arizona, Colorado and Montana,
who select land for the incomers. At Salt
Lake they are formed into new parties and
taken to their future homes. Contributions
to the immigrant fund aggregsting large
sums are turned into the general treasury in
! Salt Lake City and transmitted by telegraph
to Stains, upon the arrival of the companies
here, to be disbursed as their necessities re-
| quire. He has paid the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company SIC, 900 in one check for the
transportation of one large party with their
effects.
