CHICAGO, May 10.-The County Dele
gate Convention, this morning, resulted
in several knock downs ON account OF the
Grant men claiming the right to dictate
respecting the nomination Of chairman,
and the police were obliged to interfere.
The anti-third term delegates then organ
lied the convention, and the Grant men
Immediately bolted. 1t is regarded as sig
nificant that the Grant men consider his
chance in Illinois as desperate. They will
send o delegation to Springfield to contest.
1t is understood that the Grant managers
emit word to the anti-Grant men, this
morning. that unless they were given a
share Of the delegates to Springfield that
the State Convention would instruct for
Grant. Word was returned that such &C.
ton could not be taken, because Grant

New York's Prosperity.
NEW YoaK, May 10.-The Sun says:
What q narrow escape the prosperity Of
New York has had in the prompt vetoing
Of the bill taxing foreign capital, IS shown
by the news from San Francisco. When
Kearney and his followers were doing all
they could to have the new Constitution
adopted. they represented that they were
defending the sons Of toll against bloated
capitalists, but the capitalists packed up
bag and baggage and brought all their be-
~longings to the East. The consequence Of
refusing to protect it was, Of course, to
make it seek safer places for investment,
md Kearney's political economy was not
without its drawbacks. The Bank Of Ne
vada has just dismissed seven Of its prin-
cipal employees, because there is no work
for them. How long will it take some Of
our Legislators to learn that money il -
likely to emigrate as labor? San Francisco
has almost ceased to be the market for
mining stocks. When q lucky prospector
strikes something fine he PUSHES off to the
East. and the uptown hotels in New York
are at the present moment so crowded with
mining men that in one Of these establish
ments Q notice has been posted 'No
mines received in payment for board"

They took refuge in an outbuilding. His
daughter. . girl Of II. subsequently re-
turned to the house. and he sent her out
with money after q carpet sack, saying he
would not live In the same house with
them any longer. She got 1t, but failed to
provide . key. This enraged Tobin 30 that
he broke the lock. and ordered the daugh-
ter to take the bag back and get the money
returned. She went into the next room,
and he, suspecting that she was not obey
ing him, followed her and dragged her
back by the hair, threw her on the floor,
aud jumping on her literally mashed the
life out Of her. He was arrested. and
now declares himself innocent. saying
that IL must have been the shock OF his
announcing his intention Of leaving home
which killed his daughter.
