George c. Gorham, in one of his
Washington letters, figures as follows:
Pennsylvania has given her IS votes to
Grant. On the 25th instant New York will
instruct 10 delegates, headed BY Roscoe
CoAkling. to vote for Grant. Illinois will
instruct her ~ the same way. Under such
q lead the candidacy of Grant will be
irresistible. The South cannot be stolen
by q few oficeholders under an Admins
tration. famous only for betrayal Of South
ern Republicans. Two thirds Of its 274
delegates will support Grant. This will
end Sherman's candidacy. and Ohio, with
her A delegates, will be for Grant. Wis
consin, Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana,
Kansas and Nebraska will follow. Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and Rhode
Island are showing more and more ten
dency towards Grant. The prospect now
is that long before the National Convention
assemblies delegates enough will have de-
clared themselves, or been instructed. to
make the nomination Of the ex-President
an accomplished fact.

OVER THE WATER.
COMMENTS On THE ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION.


PARIS, Feb. 23.-The object Of the dy-
Mantle plot, some persons think, was to
hasten the accession of the C~zarowitch,
who is openly hostile to the Car. Others
suspect it was the result of intrigues Of
Bismarck's agents and partisans of the
Czarowitch with the Nihilists. This is re-
garded in some quarters as probable, as
the Car is in Bismarck's way, and the En-
peror William loves his neighbor too well
to make war against him. The conspira-
tors were unsparing Of the soldiers lives,
but we're economical of the courtiers, no
member of the imperial household having
been injured in the explosion. The laying
of the mine shows a knowledge Of the En-
peror's daily life. The brown-room is not
the ordinary dining-room of the Imperial
family. and has been only used as such
since the Empress returned home. The
Grand Duke Nicholas is stupefed by the
horrifying new from st. Petersburg.
LONDON. Feb. 23.-The attempt to MUIR

public attention. Sincere regrets have
been decorously expressed throughout Eu-
rope. with three exceptions. The CONT
mental C~ommunistic newspapers and the
Pail Mall Gazette seized the occasion to
demand the Cars abdication. The Com
mon Councilmen, who rejected by a heavy
majority a resolution of coincidence, used
many expressions of insult and hatred dur
ing the debate. The same Council, some
years ago., offered the Gear the freedom of
the city. This is considered the natural
result of the incessant efforts of Salisbury
and Beaconsfield in recent years to incite
luminosity against Russia, including a
knighthood'which was conferred upon one
Lord Mayor for leading a riotous anti-Rus-
sian demonstration. The incident is I'M
fortunate, because the Common Council is
believed on the continent to represent Lon
don, but it is really composed largely of
the most ignorant and vulgar people in
the city. General Gourko, Governor Gen
eral Of st. Petersburg, General Grentilim,
the Chief of the Imperial Police, and GEN
ersl Souroff, Project of Police, have re-
ceived notices from the Nihilist Committee
informing them that they need not trouble
themselves to make arrangements for an
illumination ON the occasion of the Cars
anniversary, as the revolutionists are pre-
pairing such sn illumination as has not
been seen since Nero burned Rome.

The Strong Drink OF bismarck,

An American army officer, lately re-
turned from Europe, tells Of an evening he
passed with the great German Prince
Chancellor, to this effect: after q few
moments spent in pleasant chat. Bismarck
called the servant and ordered him to
bring in brandy and glasses. The glasses
were OF the smallest size, the same size as
the glass We call q pony. I saw there was
no water or sugar brought, and when Bis
marck poured the glasses full Of brandy
saw It was white, so concluded that it was
q milder drink than the French cognac.
and thought il he could drink it clear
would not be outdone. / took q sip of il,
and never in my life did / experience such
. sensation. 1t was the most fiery stuff |
ever tasted. l gasped and ~strangled a
little, but seeing Bismarck toss his off as
so much water, ! made as little fuss as
possible. By slow, careful sips i managed
to drink the alassful, but declined to ,ake
any more. Well, I stayed during the eve
ming, probably until twelve or one O'Clock.
Bismarck continued tossing of the brandy,
one glass after another, and when | left
not . drop remained In the pint pitcher
which had been brought in full at the
beginning Of tho evening""

SAN FRAScIsco, February 23.-Regard-
ing the course that will be pursued in con-
demnation of Chinatown, DR.. Meares,
Health Officer, states that having first
fortified himself with advice on certain le-
gal points. the next step will be a careful
inspection Of Chinatown. Owners OF build
ings found in such condition as to render
them nuisances, will be notified to put
them in a habitable condition. The num-
Der Of persons allowed to live in any one
building. will be limited. and it is expected
that this will have the effect to so raise in
dividual rents as to compel Chinese to seek
other quarters. 1t is understood that a
number of capitalists are prepared to buy
up that quarter Of the city, if terms can be
agreed upon, and devote it to civilized &C.
cupancy.
business is suspended in the Wholesale
portion of the city. The disagreeaDle
weather detracts from the holiday aspect OF
affairs, although there is the usual display
of bunting.

Board of Health had declared Chinatown

avoid complaint. There is strong feeling
against cur people at present time. If we
do not comply with law people will have US

we must be punished and fined according

Thomas Nickerson, President Of the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad Company, has
addressed a dispatch to the President OF
the Chamber of Commerce of San Fran
cisco, stating tina. Il sufficient inducements
are offered the Company will build a
through line from the Rio Crande, Masking
San Francisco its terminus. W. F. Bah
cock, President of the Chamber, states
that be is personally in favor of having the
city made the terminus of another trans
continental road, and will probably adj
dress a communication to the Board OF
Supervisors calling their attention to the
matter, though he has not yet fully de-
cided upon the course he will pursue.

definitely settled last evening, but not in

not one chance in 3 thousand that Mr..
Tilden cares q straw where it is held.

tion that he can carry New York. This

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING.


In these third term days but little re-
spect is paid to the memory of the Father
Of his Country. In many places yester-
day no attention whatever was given to
the anniversary Of his natal day. We
fear that as a people We are fast drifting
away from the precepts of the patriot
sires. Not three months ago at a Grant
reception in Kansas, a man was found
base enough to propose three cheers for
"the first American King" and all over
this fair land there are creatures clamor-
ing for a stronger Government. If these
things de not indicate a growing disre-
gard for our free institutions, we are at q
loss to know what they do indicate. For
tunately we have not yet reached that
stage, where the personnel Of the admin
istration makes any difference in the form
Of government. We still choose servants,
not rulers as they have in the old world.
Ours is a Government 'of the people, for
the people and by the people," To make
it stronger more power must be taken
from the people and lodged in the Execu-
tive. Does any true lover of his country
desire such . change

As will be seen by special dispatch
from Virginia City, published elsewhere,
the Republican State Central Committee
yesterday resolved to hold a State Con-
~vention at Austin, May 18th, to select
delegates to the National Republican
Convention, which meets at Chicago on
June Sd. Primaries are to be held in
the seyeral counties on or before May 9Th.
Our dispatch further informs us that the
Blaine men had a clear majority in the
Committee. that is to say, judging from
informal expressions Of individual MEM
bers. It seems to have been the desire
Of the Committee to steer clear of any
chance Of . split N the party in this
State. To this end the idea was freely
expressed that the Austin Convention
ought not instruct the delegates to the Chi
cage Convention for any particular can
didate. This policy is advocated with a
view Of letting in Mackay and other pow
erful Grant men as delegates to Chicago.
It is even limited that if this much is
conceded, the supporters of Grant will
make no effort to capture the Austin Con-
vention. 1t remains to be seen how mag
unanimous the Blaine men will be. They
may take all, or let in Mackay and Others
whose substantial assistance they will
need At the polls, just as they please.
The State is too close to admit Of the
alienation of heavy factors, and SO we
may As well record it in advance that
there will be no rough-and-tumble fight
among the factions for the control Of Ne
vada's delegation. Liver pads will be
unknown in the Austin gathering. and a
half-and-hal delegation is most likely to
be sent to Chicago.
