being induced to believe that by supporting Grant it might be possible to place Senator Bruce on the ticket as Vice President.
 The Massachusetts delegation had caucus this evening, and were addressed by Senator Hoar He said four-fifths of the convention were against Grant. He advised the dele gates to unite on Blaine, he was the strongest man, that Grants strength lies as much in the Democratic as the Republican party, and his nomination would result in the demoralization of the Republican party. A Grant member of the Massachusetts dele gation said this afternoon that Hoar foresaw that majority of his delegation was going over to Grant, and simply wanted to place himself on record as not having taken the lead in such action The old National Con- mittee held its last meeting tonight and re- solved to secure better order in the conven- tion. committee consisting of Filly, Enos and New was appointed to that no more disturbances occurred and to keep the hall clearer than it has been during the session of the convention. They also issued a call for meeting of the new committee at the Palmer House immediately on the adjournment of the convention. An Indiana delegate says the leaders of the h. diana and Iowa delegates resolved to present Garfield if a nomination is not reached be- fore the 5th ballot. The same delegate says the matter of presenting Garfield has been dis cussed with half dozen delegations who>are favorable to 1t. Ohio men are bitter over this rumor, insisting that if Ohio is to have the candidate Sherman must be the man. Among the rumors afoat tonight is one to the effect that Grant has arrived in the city another that Jay Gould is here in the interest of Blaine. Neither are credited by those in position to know. It is stated that the Pal mer House has notified delegates that no charge will be made for their stay after to- day. The significance of this is in the rela- tionship of the Grant family to the owner of the house. significant fact, as indicating the probable length of the convention, is that the New York delegation has ordered its spe- cial car to be ready for tomorrow night.
 General Sewell, of the New Jersey delega- tion and of the members of the New York delegation, told reporter tonight that they would vote for Grant on the second bal lot. Mir. Finley, of St. Louis, said: ''We are right. We have got them" In the lobby of the Grand Pacific patriarchal appearing delegate was surrounded this evening by anti Grant delegates who were trying to corner him, but when they would make point his only reply was: q never said anything about that, and Grant is good enough for me-"
 The Greenback delegates are already ar irving in considerable numbers for their Ma tional convention, which opens at noon Wednesday. An excursion arrives tomorrow from Maine, and one from Indiana Tuesday afternoon. Thirty-five States send full dele gates, and nearly all the other States and Ter ritories will be represented. Prominent Greenbackers already here say Ben Butler or David Davis will be their candidate. They predict that Grant will be nominated to -mor row on the tenth or fifteenth ballot

The Sherman men say Grant and Blaine will use each other up, and that Sherman will be the second choice of the majority of both factions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Among the bills
introduced were the following:
By Davis, of Illinois to establish a court

BY Cockrill to repeal section 4,724 X. S.

The Metric System.

In 1866 an Act passed Congress legalizing
the discretionary use of the French metric
system, but it has never been brought into
general Use. A bill will be shortly presented
to Congress making compulsory the adoption
of this peculiar system, but whether it will
succeed or not is rather doubtful, by reason
of the preponderance of the Objectionable
points involved in the proposition. The heads
of the various departments of government
have been called upon for an expression of
their opinions regarding it. The Secretary of
the Navy says: 1t would involve Il total
loss of all charts and chart-plates now in use
and would be preiudicial to the free exchange
and use of English charts, so essential to nav
igators." The pOStmaSter-General says: 1t
is Objectionable or account of the expense
and the lack of practical knowledge of the sys-
TEN by the POstmasters and the public at
large" The Secretary of War says "TIe
compulsory change would be ineXpedient as
involving a large outlay without any adequate
results" The Quartermaster General says:
* 1t will increase labor in computation will
infallibly cause mistakes; will require the
loss of all hay and platform s~cales,' etc. He
adds: 81 do not believe that this is within
the power of Congress. 1t will be looked upon
by the people as an arbitrary and unjust in
reference with private business and individ-
ual rights. and | ,u not think they will sub
NIT to it..
