ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF PETITIONS.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Although the present
Congress has accomplished little in the way OF
legislation, there has been no lack Of raw material
in the shape Of petitions memorials, etc. Thus far
there have been introduced through tho petition
box IL, 628 petitions. If those presented in tho
open House are added the aggregate swels to
10000. This is o larger number than has ever
been presented in any previous Congress.
In the XLVth Congress the number Of petitions
presented was 10,467, larger number than had
ever up to that time been presented. On tho 18th
of May, 1878. at the second session of that Con-
gress, only 5000 had been presented.

LIN
TIE EFFORT TO GUST MIR. YOCUM DEFEATED
TWENTY-FIVE DEMOCRATS AND THE GREEN
DACKRRs VOTE WITH TIE REPUBLICANS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WAsHINGToN, May 11.-Tho House Committee
on Elections suffered an overwhelming defeat to-
day, In the Curtn-Yocum case, which was suddenly
forced to q vote. twenty-five Democrats voted
with tho Republicans and Grccnbackcrs against
Curtin.
Varione theories arc given to account for this
result. Three causes may be named which contrib
uted to it. The political complexion Of tho Penn
sylvania delegation In Congress would not have
been changed by giving Mr.. Yocum's scat to Gov
ernOr Curtin.
Among those who voted for YOcum were several
extreme Southern Democrats, like Mcssrs. Chalmers
and Singleton. Of Mississippi A Northern Demo-
cratic member of the Elections Committee to-day
insinuatcd that these Southern Democrats voted
against Curtin because Of tho prominent part he
took In the famous council of War Governors at
Altoona at n critical period of the war.
1t is not at all improbable that some Of'the Demo-
Gratis were influenced against Ex-Governor Curtin
because he set before them tho task of reading
5000 pages of printed testimony and argument
Some time ago 4 Democratic member of the House
remarked to u TRIBUNE correspondent that he could
not vote to seat any where such mass of testi
InOny was required to show that he was elected.
The vote on the resolution declaring Mr. Yocum
entitled to his seat was ll3 to 10.

THE CONVENTION TO INSTRUCT FOR BLAINE-Two
SHERMAN DELEGATES LIKELY TO GO TO
CHICAGO.
WHEELING, W. Va. May 11.-Snco the calcula-
tion was made that Blaine would secure
the entire West Virginia delegation to
Chicago a strong Sherman element has
developed; and 1T is now conceded that
the Secretary of the Treasury will capture at least
two of the delegates. The unexpected strength
of Sherman comes from the Third Congressional
District, and has caused the Blaine mon to Lave
lively apprehensions Of carrying out their pro-
eramme Most OF tho delegates to the State
Convention, which meets tomorrow, have
arrived, and the hotel lobbies present
lively and animated scene. Among those from
abroad are General B. d. Fearing, Of Washington
D. c., and secretary of the Sherman bureau also
Public Printer J. d. Defrees, of Washington, both
of whom are endeavOrin0 to break Baine's strength
1t is not likely they will succeed to any extent. az
the Blaine delegates are in the majority and will
have charge of the Convention.
The Convention will undoubtedly instruct the
delegates-atlarge. and request the district dele
gates to vote for Blaine.

CATION TO CHICAGO FOR THE BEST MAN, WHO
EVER HE MAY BE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEE.l
WASHINGTON, May 11-Representative HouK'
of Tennessee has returned from that State, whittier
he went to attend the Republican Convention In
the course of a conversation with TRIBUNE cor
respondent to-day, on the political outlook III len
nessee, Mr.. HOuk said:
"The Republican party in my State was never
before in so good q condition as it is We arc
united on State as we'll as National questions,
and shall poll larger vote than we ever dld before
We are daily receiving accessons to our ranks from
among men who, since the war, have hitherto
acted with the Democrats. These men have been
waiting for years for a good excuse to leave the
Democratic party, into which many OF them Were
really driven by the proscrptive policy of the Re-
publcans in 1865. There were men IN our state
Convention the other day, as delegates, who have
hitherto acted with the Democracy, and who nave
vet to cast their first Republican vote These men
are among the solid and substantial citizens of the
State, and their influence will be very powerful"
"What is the cause of this change I" Mr. Houk
was asked.
at is mainly due to the position taken by the
Republicans on the State debt question. Most
of the accessons come from the State Credit wing
of the Democracy. The Democratic party in Ten
nessee has been completely split on the debt ques-
ton. The Repudiators form the largest faction,
but the political machinery is in tho hands of the
State Credit men. They will use it to control the
State Convention, and will, doubtless succeed in
that Then l expect the RcpudiatorS to secede,
and set up State ticket of their own, If they DO
the Republicans will elect tho next Governor and
Legislature of Tennessee"
"How will the Tennessee delegates to Chicago
vote ?" asked the correspondent
"Well ;" Mr.. HOuk replied, that matter stands
like this. The delegates are, uninstructed They
are all good men, and they will go to Chicago free
from any determination to vote solid for any can
didate AS a delegation we shall go to Chicago
anxious only to see the man nominated who is most
likely to win. don't think wo can make up our
minds as to who that man is until we have had a
full conference with the delegates from the close
and doubtful Northern States. So far as personal
preferences are concerned, l think about eighteen
of the delegates are in favor of General Grant,
while the others are divided between Blaine and
Sherman. Bpt do not understand me to say that
these personal preferences alone are to govern. we
want only that the strongest man hOuld be chosen,
and we are ready to support MIN, whoever ho may

Much indignation is felt in Illinois at the ae-

The Chicago Journal ca Is upon Grant to with

from the boiling Convention TO be admitted to
the State Convention, which they will thus be
able to control. The Blaine and Washburne
delegates are equally confident. Counting Cook
County, 255 Grant delegates have been elected,
243 Blaine delegates, and 93 Washburne dele

NEW TARIFF MEASURES BEFORE THE HoUsE-Ex-
GOVERNOR CURTIN FAILS TO GET Mr.. YoCUMs B
sEAT-CoNGREss DELUGED WITH PETITIONS.
In the United States Senate yesterday, Mr.
Hill, of Georgia, made a fierce speech in defence
of the attempt of the Democrats to steal Sena-
tor Keloggs seat. Three new tariff bills have
been reported to the House from the Committee
on Ways and Means The Republican members
of the Committee presented a minority report
on the bill in regard to the duty on hoop IRON.
The Curtin YOcum contested election case has
been decided by the House in favor OF Mr.
Yocum. About 10000 petitions have been
presented to Congress during the present ses-
sion.
SENATOR HILLS FEROCIOUS SPEECH
A GREAT AND NOISY EFFORT ON THE KELLOGG
CAsE-oLD POINTS MADE TO DO NEW DUTY
SENATOR HoAR WANTS THE MATTER ENDED
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Hill, Of Georgia,
began his great speech to-day. If noise and gen.
eral ferocity of demeanOr will accomplish his pur-
pose to unseat Senator Kellogg, the friends of the
latter might as well abandon his defence at once.
Senator Hills auditors, however. are not the kind
of men who can be swayed by violence of gesticula-
ton. or even by loud assumptions that unsup-
ported statements, many times reiterated, are
proved beyond the possibility of reply
Senator Hill spoke for three hours and held the
floor for tomorrow. His points are recognized IS
having been made to do duty earlier in this Same
debate, and although his treatment of them IS
sometimes novel and lawycrlikc yet tho intended
effect Is buried beneath the show of in
tense personal hate toward tho object OF
his attack. Ho has brought into tho Sem
ate tho samo spirit Of bullying and insult
which characterized his conduct during the investl-
cation by the Committee Privileges and Elec-
tons-a fact which, other things being equal, Will
not tend to convert Democratic Senators who are
not already of his way of thinking, and who propose
to iudge the legal questions at issue upon their
merits
Senator Hill requested that he be not inter-
rptcd, and there was therefore, no opportunity for
showing the falacy Of some of his legal PROPOSE
tOns nor of dealing with his misintcIpTctatlons
of the testimony they deserved. lle Will be met
on these points most completely, however, DeIore
the questions at issue are voted upon. -
Before the Senate adjourned to-day, senator Ionr
gave notice that when tho Senator from (eorRia
had finished his speech, and one other senator,
whom he did not name, had spoken ne Woulu HSh
the Senate to fix day for taking vote upon the
Senator Salisbury curty told Senator Ioar that
he (Saulsburvl wns chairman of the Commit tee np
Privileges aud Elections, and would exercise ms
own Judgment to tho proper time To clOso inc
debate. =, ,
senator IIoar reminded Senator Salisbury that
the Senate was greater than the chairman OF the
Committee on Privileges and Elections, and that 1t
was the right Of any Senator TO ask that nay, DC
already been consuming tho time OF the Senate Tor
q week or more.
