[By Telegraph to the Sentinel


called to order yesterday by John B. Hen
derson, who, on taking the platform,
briefly outlined the purpose and scope of
the Convention. The question was whether
that great unwritten law Of precedents and
i~mmemorial customs, which was at least as
far reaching as the written code should be
observed in the nomination of a President.
He quoted Grants speeches at Blooming
ton and Little Rock, to disprove the need
Of q strong government, and asserted that
Of the States which declared for Grant,
Pennsylvania alone will be able to give him
a single electoral vote. Even Illinois is
to oppose the election of Grant in case Of
| his nomination. If the Chicago convention
forces him on the party, it may become
necessary for anti-third term Republicans
to declare an eternal dissolution of all con-
nection with them, and affirm the right to
call a convention and act independently.
A special from Reno Indian Territory,
says Squatters have entered the northern
and eastern parts of the Territory, and two
detachments of troops have been sent to
drive them out, with instructions that if
the invaders do not leave soon, to confs-
cate their property.
Genera b. A. Morton, President of the
National Liberal League, was arrested here
| yesterday, charged with having forged the
name of Ex-Governor John M. Palmer, OF
Illinois, to q check for 81, 900 on a bank in
JOHN, Missouri, about one year ago, on
which he got the money. Several hundred
dollars in money, jewelry of great value,
said to belong to his wife, railroad passes
on q large number Of roads. stamps OF diff
ferent kinds and pens, were found on his
person or among his effects when arrested.
Morton was arrested at the instance of
John B. Sergeant, cashier of the bank on
which the forged check was drawn, who
recognized him in the railroad Office here.
Morton claims that it is a case Of mistaken
identity.
The Chinese Commission Mfscel-
l%aneOus Washington News.
WASHINGTON, May Tt is expected that
Minister Angel and Commissioner Tres
colt will start for San Francisco about the
10th instant. Angel will probably sail for
his post by the steamer Toxic ON the 10th
Of June. Commissions Swift was expect
ed to leave New York to-day for San Fran
cisco. In consequence Of the extreme diff
Guilty of obtaining quarters at Pekin the
Commissioners will defer their departure
for China until Angels arrival out, and
Stewards departure thence, shall lave en-
abled the necessary provision for their &C.
c~ommodation to be made. There was no
foundation for the statement recently tele-
graphed that the California delegation will
suspend efforts for legislation restricting
Chinese immigration while awaiting the
result OF the Commissions negotiations.
They are not confident Of the diplomatic
success Of the proposed negotiations.
Members Of the Chinese legation here say
distinctly that their Government is salts
fed with the existing treaty, and ask why
they should change it. This f~oreshadows
the purpose OF China to withhold assent to
any satisfactory modification Of the instru-
ment. The best informed on the subject
have little faith that negotiation will result
in anything but the tender to China of an
opportunity to settle the question by friend
ly and reasonable agreement. To restrain
her working classes, who now come hither
not seeking homes but only to compete
with American labor, will Clear the ground
for action, thereby satisfying the scruples
OF those who object to legislation or to q
treaty ~abrogation in advance Of diplomatic
efforts.
1t is understood to be the purpose Of the
Democratic leaders to pass the bill, intro
duced by Senator Bayard this afternoon to
regulate the pay and appointment of special
Deputy Marshals, through the Senate and
House, and send 1t to the President for his
signature as early as possible. 1t differs
from the rider Of the vetoed appropriation
bill by requiring appointments to be made
annually, and by reason Of several amend
ments designed to obviate objections that
preston and working machinery Of the
original clause.
Delaware's delegation to the Republican
Convention will probably vote for Blaine.
The New Jersey Republican State Con-
vention yesterday resolved to support the
nominee Of the Chicago Convention.
