The National Republican Convention
 The Official Call.

The Official Call.
 WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-Senator Cameron, chairman of the National Republican Com mittee here, has made the following call in behalf of the committee
 The national convention of the Republi- can party will meet at Chicago on Wednes- day, the second day of June next, at twelve o'clock noon, for the nomination of candidates to be supported for President and Vice Presi- dent at the next election. Republicans and all who will cooperate with them in supporting the nominees of the party are invited to choose two delegates from each Congressional district, four at large from each State, two from each Territory and two from the Dis trict of Columbia to represent them in the convention.
 In regard to the call the Republican of to- morrow will say: 1.-The official call for the next Republican convention is printed else where in this issue, from which it will be per- ceived that that body will meet in Ohica- go on the 2d of June next instead of the 25th of June as heretofore announced. It is perhaps proper to explain the con- ing, which has caused several conflicting announcements to be made in this and other journals. It arose from the fact that several different motions to fix that day were made at the recent meetings of the National Commit tee and it required an examination of the official report of proceedings to find out which one had prevailed. Tho examination having been made yesterday, Chairman Came ron issued the call. At the same time he an- nounced the appointment of Hon. c. J. Filley of Missouri, Hon. John c. New of Indiana, and Hon. Howell Clayton of Arkansas, to be members of the subcommittee of the National Committee appointed by that body to take charge of the convention hall. The resolution authorizing the appointment of this sub com- mittee provides that the chairman and score tary of the National Committee shall also be of it's membership"
 The Dostmund Chambes Of Commerce has petitioned Prince Bismarck to put stop to the importation of German goods into Aus traIia by English firms as goods of English manufacture.

 Bismarck'S Disarmament Scheme.
 LONDON, Dec. 31.-The London eorres- pondent of the Edinburgh Scotsman says hc learns on good authority that the attention of the English government has lately been di- rected to the projects of disarmament said to have been put forward by Prince Bismarck; that despite the recent qualifying statements, Prince Bismarck has projected scheme for gradual disarmament, but Austria is the only Continental power which has yet given ab- solute adhesion to the scheme. In diplomatic circles. the correspondent says, it is expected that Prince Bismarck will make declaration on the subject soon, but there does not seem to be much confidence felt in the integrity of his motives.

drawn yesterday evening, aud created
more excitement and com nent on the
streets than any occurrence In Knox
willie for some time past. 1t was a
slight alteration between Col. While,
editor of The Tribune, aud Mi. Cox,
local editor and business msnager of
the Dispatch. The facts in brief seem
to be about these: The colonel met
the msj, and inquired who was
responsible for some tquibs
which had appeared In Il e
Dispatch, which were regarded as re-
a .cting on the colonel. The reply
was made that Col. Charlton was The
author aud responsible party, where
upon Col. White went Ia search oil
Col. Charlton, who he found after-
wards was at the court house. Maj
Cox went from Col. White TO the court
house, and being met again in front oil
Barlon's store, on his return by Col.
White, was asked II he had been hunt.
ing up Col. Charlton, to notify him.
To this Msj. Cox replied that he bad
simply been about his private business.
Col. White gave this the lie aud Maj
Cox Immediately made a lick
at the colonel with his cane
This was promptly resented by
the colonel Ia similar maui

ensued, the blood was drawn pretty
