Gov. Hoyt's action. The idea of the

WEDNESDAY MAY 5, 1880.
Drawing Near.


This week seven republican state con-
ventions are to be held and when they
have taken action a large majority of the
delegates to Chicago will have been
chosen. In fact nearly two-thir'ls of them
have already been elected.
Last week Sherman's friends had every
thing their own way in Ohio, while South
Carolina instructed for Grant and Califor-
mia for Blaine. Shermau's friends claim
that part of the Virginia and South Car
olna delegations, both instructed for
Grant, are not for Grant and will not vote
for him but for the Ohio candidate instead.
Blaine's friends too are insisting that por-
tions of the New York and Pennsylvania
delegations, instructed for Grant. will vote
for Blaine on the first ballot,
In Pennsylvania there really appears TO
be some justification for this claim. Coun-
ty conventions have in many cases asked
the delegates from their districts to do
this and it is reported that some of the
Philadelphia delegates are about to notify
Senator Cameron that they will not sup.
port Grant. Many things are possible in
Pennsylvania and what either party in that
state will do, till it is certain what action
is most profitable, is one Of the things no
man can find out.
The events Of the past week have ,forci-
bly, illustrated this. Mr.. Rumberger a
politician, was so astonished at being SEN
fenced to Imprisonment because he had
been convicted of bribery, that he became
insane. Whereas if Mr.. Rumbcrger had
held on TO his wits little longer he would
have seen high officials SO surprised at the
same thing that they proceeded to remit
what they evidently considered cruel
and certainly unusual punishment.
But till .djer he Illinois convention the
uncertainty a> 10 what will he done at
Chicago will continue. The prospects OF
the various candidates have not changed
particularly within the last two or three
weeks, and we can make no better guess
as to what will take place than we dli
then. Except that there is Il lumor that
Senator Window of Minnesota is being
groomed rs Il possible dark horse.
The democratic situation is clearing Il
little in Mr.. riden'S favor. Speaker
Randall won IL victory by II very narrow
margin in the Pennsylvania convention
last week, He Obtained third of the
delegates from Gen. uancocks own state
in favor of Tiden. while Senator Wallace
only secured II third for Hancock. The
other third to all appearances are " bound
for Cowes and market
About one-thrd of the Cincinnati dele
gates have thus far been chosen and MIR.
Tilden has two-thirds of them. If he
goes on carrying northern states III this
way the south will hardly dare to forbid
his nomination-Lhat is, if he wants Il
nomination, which is one of the secrets of
the future. One thing is sure, his power
over the democratic party is made mani
fest. What will he do with it?

Paris Letter.

PARIS, France, April 10, $780,
There is colony of Russian students in
Paris. Their headquarters are at read
ing room founded by them in 1874, under
the auspices Of the great Russian novelist,
Tourgenictf, and originally situated in the
Rue Victor Cousin. 1t has since been
removed to II more commodious building
in the Rue Bertholet, south of the Pam
thGon, in the Quarter Latin Here may
be witnessed II scene vividy reminding
one of the life in Russian university
town. The students, male and female,
number about Il hundred and retain the
costume and peculiar manners of their
native county. The men may be divided
into two types-one represented by those
who wear long fair hair and boards and
fur capes, such us one sees in German
university towns; the other partaking
more of the Kalmuck clements, with
bronze complexion. black hair and big
cheek bones. These latter wear the Rus

Of Russia. The majority of the students
follow the courses of medicine at the Ecole
de Medicine, and some have distinguished
themselves by passing their examinations
with flying colors. When, however, they
unite on their own ground, politics are the
order of the day; and without asserting
that the members of the Russian colony
are all rabid nhilists it cannot be denied
that the antecedents of most of them would
hardly bear inspection from a Russian
point Of view. The greater number have
been obliged TO 'leave their country for
their country's good " without regular
passports; but to say that they are all
enemies of the Russian government or
that their library is the headquarters of the
Russian socialist society in Paris, would be
going too far

should say this paper ought to accept the

Wonders will never cease. We never

we came to read it over than in that one.
When the Free Press was sent to Chicago
by one party it did seem safe to say that it
would not go the-polIs with the other.
1t is disappointing and weakening to find
doubtful things so " mighty onsartin.'
But we do not as yet mourn without hope
for there is right smart chance us the
modesty of the Free Press, Il virtue which
even its evident anxiety cannot subdue,
suggests that the nomination will 80

RoGATIoN DAYs.-Monday, Tuesday
and to-day being the three days preceding
Holy Thursday or Ascension Day. are
rogation days. The word rogation is
from the Latin rogare "to ask" From
very early times these four days have been
observed in France and England, and for
some of the time in Rome, with services
peculiar to the occasion, one of which
was solemn litany sung in procession
with Psalms 1903 and 1914, and thanks
giving. The three rogation days are days
of fasting.

announces that the enlarged Welland
canal will be opened next season to vessels
drawing twelve feet. This will allow
vessels carrying 10000 to $4,000 bushels

expected depth of fourteen feet will be
completed in 1882.
Since February lst there has been an
average decline of about fifteen per cent
on cotton, iron, copper, tin. wheat and
pork, and that is the heallhiest sign of the
times that has been seen since the boom
began, for prices were getting so high that
expectation was checked and importation
had set in at an extravaganza rate.

one OF them was shot and killed by the
landowner. The latter claims that the
gun was accidentally discharged, aul that
he meant to shoot no one. BE that as il
may, the fact that one of their number
was killed served the purpose of the mad.
