IT is proposed in England to ex-
tend and popularize the money order
system by the issue of what are to be
called ''post-ofice notes." of four de-
nominations, viz, two shillings and
sixpence, five, ten and twentyshillings.
The two smaller denominations are to
be sold for one penny and the two
larger for two pence over the face
value. They will be made payable at
any postofice in the kingdom, to the
order Of the person whose name is
written by the purchaser on the back
of the note. This is much simpler
than the money order system as now
in force, and has the advantage of ex-
tending to all post-ofices instead Of
merely to the larger ones. AS a
method for the quick and speedy re-
mittance of small sums of money this
will be extensively availed Of, and
will bring in large revenue from the
small fees paid for the notes.

| NlNClNNATI, June Zz.-Ihefe is no
change in the presidential situation
since the close of the press report Of
last night. New names have been
more freely canvassed; among them
General Don Carlos Buell., of Ken
lucky. The drifting around contin-
ues, the one requisite being the man
who. will get the most votes in New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey,
and who will at the same time be
acceptable to Indiana. There are
some who think Hugh j. Jewett
would be the man, more who believe
in the strength of Senator Mcdonald,
OF Indiana. His personal popularity
In his own state is spoken of, while it
is thought his financial record would
be acceptable in New York. 1t is
not impossible that an effort may be
made to bring Tilden to the front
again if move in Illinois and Wis
consin for Seymour fails to prove as
strong as his friends hope. 1t is
thought that the Thurman men, sec
onded by Tammany, will be able to
prevent Payne from receiving the
nomination, and it still seems probable
that Bayard will largely lead on the
first ballot.
Music hall, in which the conven-
tion is held, has been so often de-
scribed in the press as to need no at
tention here. 1t is handsomely
decorated with flags and evergreens.
A banner stretched across the hall
bears the words, "0hio greets the
Nation" At II o'clock, the visitors
seats being more than half filed, the
great organ began to play the "Mis-
sanielO" overture, which was greeted
with applause. The wedding

followed. AT IL o'clock only about
two-thirds Of the delegates were in
their seats. AS the more prominent
of them entered they were greeted
with cheers.
Senator Wade Hampton entered.
The applause was hearty and pro-
longed. Senators Lamar and Pendle-
ton we're also recipients of particular
attention. A beautiful horseshoe
of flowers" presented by the New
York Herald to G. H., temporary
chairman, was placed on the desk
before opening.

AT l2;4O o'clock Senator Barnum
called the convention to order and,
without any preliminary remarks, an-
nounced that prayer meeting would be
offered. by Rev. G, w. Wenate, of the
Unitarian church.
Senator Barnum then amended that
he had been unanimously requested
by the national convention to nomin-
ate Hon. G. Hoadley of Ohio, for
chairman, this being approved by
convention the chair appointed VIM.
L. Scott and J. d. McEnery as com
mittee to conduct Mr.. Hoadley to
the stand. As Mr.. Hoadley assembled
the platform he was greeted with
hearty applause.

Depressing Nomination.
Washington Special to the Baltimore Sun

Washington Special to the Baltimore SUM-
Business people in Washington
complain very bitterly of the depres-
sion and dullness which has sat in
since the Chicago nomination. Wheth-
er well founded or not, there was a
general impression among all classes
here that the nomination Of General
Grant would be a great thing for
Washington, and democrats showed
quite as much anxiety on the subject
as republicans. Notwithstanding that
the personal influence of the president
and the members of the administra-
ton was exerted in favor of Secretary
Sherman, the great majority of the
Office holders here were also in favor
of Grant. They. had an idea
that Grant could be elected. But
the election of Garfield is consid-
cred as involved in doubt and un-
certainty, and business men say, in
consequence of this, all the office
holders in Washington have shut
down, and are making nothing but alb
solutely necessary purchases. AS is
known, not a gun was fred in Wash
ington over the nomination of Gar
field. Subscriptions had been made
for the firing of thousand guns over
the expected nomination Of Grant,
but the subscribers declined to per
NIT their money to be spent in salutes
over apy one else. From advices re-
ceiyed hers from the south it seems
that the scme feeling of disappoint-
mont exists there among Che colored
voters over the failure to nominate
Grant. In many towns and villages ex-
tensiye preparations bad been made
to celebrate the nomination of Grant,
but Garfield they had never heard Of,
aud everything fell stillborn on the
