The night at the capitol was

no disturbance. A full guard

Wallace r. White, whose card of

The following is his card:
TO Henry Ingalls,, Chairman Of the
Investigating Committee:
l have received your summons to
appear before your committee,
charged with the investigation of
the alleged bribery of 7. B.
Swan and Moses Hartman.
| decline to appear, for the reason
that you are not competent to send
for persons and papers, and not
competent to administer legal
oath. The witnesses before you
could swear to anything without in
curing the hazard of persecution
for perjury. If Swan and Harri-
man had secured a bribe, they
would naturally swear falsely about
it, and if they merely put up the
job, they would be still more likely
to testify falsely. When / meet
them, | want it to be before
tribunal that has power
to enforce its DEGREES and to.
administer punishment. Your
House of Representatives is lille
gally organized, or not organized at
all; and if you have any doubt on
that point, | shall be glad to have
you arrest me for contempt, and
thus have the authority of your
process tested by writ of habeas
corpus before the Supreme Judicial
Court. If | am not sustained by
that tribunal, | shall oheerfully APP
pear before your committee.

: We view il as a foregone conclusion
that General Gran. is to be the nominee
Of the Republican National Convention
at Chicago. Nothing can prevent this,

Will he withdraw? The evidences
point to a different conclusion. Had he
not been a candidate in good faith, and
more than anxious to receive the nominal
ton, he would never have permitted him.

publican press, as he has been handled,
during the last five or six months. 1t is
therefore to be inferred that he is in to
stay. His triumphant nomination, either
on the first Dr. second ballot, admits of
no doubt. The Conventions of yesterday
and the day previous will give him $50
more votes than Blaine, with the Sher-
man, Edmunds and Washburne delega-
tions to draw from. The Edmunds men
stand instructed for Grant as a second
choice. Washburne is his close friend.
Sherman's strength is largely from the

odds the favorite over Blaine. Under
these circumstances who can doubt the
result?

ACROSS THE WATER.
A MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVES
The Proceedings Strictly Private.
A RETURN TO POWER.
RadicaIism triumphant.
BY Telegraph to the SENTINEL


LONDON, May 20.-Four hundred and
fifty noblemen and gentlemen were present
at the meeting OF Conservatives at the
Bridgewater House yesterday. including
Lords Salisbury and Cornorvan, Sir Stat
ford Northcote and Mr.. Cross. Lord Bea-
consfield. after having expressed a hope
that the proceedings would be regarded as
strictly private, referred to the sudden
change in the position of parties. but he
saw no reason to despair. There we're al
ready signs Of encouragement. If the
Conservatives were true to their principles.
he looked forward to their return to power
at no distant period. He expressed
surprise that Gladstone, after his repeated
expression of a desire to retire from po-
liticil controversy, should accept two posts.
Lord Beaconsfield denied that he ever in
tended to resign the Premiership. He re-
commends that the Conservatives main
tain an attitude of dignified opposition.
To a certain extent Radicalism, for the
the present, was triumphant, but nothing
would induce him to believe the defeat Of
the Conservatives to anything else but a
desire for a change. He considered it i'm
possible for the present Ministry, with its
discordant element, to last long. Sir Rob-
ert Peel, Sir Stafford Northcote, and Lords
Cornovan and Salisbury also spoke. 1t is
generally believed that some secret polit-
ical society provoked and organized the
present labor strike.

-.r sTRUeaLE In ILLINOIS.

The full proceedings of the Republican
st.te Convention at Springfield are not
yet TO hand, though enough is known to
make Il clear that the forty-two votes of
Illinois have fallen into the hands of the
tb;rd.termers. Our telegraphic advices
lsave the Cook county contest still UNI
.ettled. The manner in which it will re-
sult. however, is not doubtful. The ques-
zion had been referred to a committee for
adjustment, a resolution having first been
adopted by the convention to abide the
decision of the committee. The Grant
men have the machinery of the conven-
t;on. and of course named a committee
favorable to their cause. A precedent
was established in the Green county case,
where one-half Of each delegation was
admitted, which is most likely to be ap-
plied also in the Cook county contest.
Grant has one hundred majority out
side Of Cook county. The latter county
mas n1ncty-tWO ucicSaecS' H'S so~S
all of these should be admitted, the
Third -termers would still have a majority
Of eight, sufficient for all practical pur-
poses.
By reference to the dispatches it will
be seen that the Grant men show no dis
position to compromise or throw away
their advantage in the convention. A
resolution offered by a Blaine delegate to
take the consideration of the Cook county
case from the committee, was tabled by a
vote of 35I to 25l, amid the widest APP
plause from the Grant men.
The reasonable presumption is, that, as
in the casa of Green county. one-half Of
each of the delegations from Cook county
will be admitted to seats in the conven-
ton. But whether this course be pur-
sured or not, it is clear that the Third.
termers have things all their own way,
and may name a Grant delegation to the
National Convention if they desire, which
they are very apt to do.
