watching with good deal Of interest the

Democratic politicians Of every grade Of

litical matters that would be OF interest TO
the public. he replied with pleasant
smile that while he was always glad 10 &C.

present so busy that he had very little
time to talk on political subjects. The cor:
respondent replied that he was aware OF
the peculiar delicacy OF the subject OF ma

with reference to State politics that he
wished to learn.

Mr.. Hendricks, "but I think we shall bold
our own. Indiana Is counted doubtful

The Change Made by the French Cable
Company In Counting.

The Change Made by the French Cable
Company In Counting.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE French Cable
Company announces its decision TO dis.
continue the. rules of the London Tele-
graph Convention for counting Of words
as far IS regards the trafic between Amer
ica and Great Britain. The new rules for
counting will hereafter be the same as
those which were in force on the tfansat-
lantic cables prior to the lst OF April, 1880.
Baron de Cambourg, the agent OF the COM
pany for America, said that the order to
change came from the Partisan headquar.
ters yesterday, and that, as he had no pre-.
knowledge OF the matter, could furnish
no reason for 1t, He supposed, how
ever, that the competition OF the Di.
rect Cable Company was the cause.
The Direct, he said. bad not adopted the
rules Of the international Telegraph Con.
vention of London, held In August last,
and was transmitting under the old rules,
which afford the public more advantages.
The system OF counting under the old
rules entailed less figuring than at present,
and consequently less trouble 10 the
clerks. Under the London Convention
rules the number Of letters OF each word
cannot exceed ten. A word con,aiaing
eleven letters Is counted as two words, and
two words containing twenty. one letters
ss three words, and so on. The old rules
simplify this matter. Again, in cipher
messages, prior to the adoption oil the
London system, for each cipher they were
allowed five figures, fifty per cent. on the
ordinary rates being charged. The now
system allows but three figures for each
cipher. These, Baron de Cambourg ex-
planned, arc the most important differ
ences in the two systems. The old one
simplifes business, while tue new one In
wolves more or less difficulty.

merest accident that clerk in Judge Ash

when there was yet time to telegraph TO
the Convention then sitting in Albany.
But TO be less personal and more explicit
about the notion OF the Presidential du.
ties:
at is q fallacy to suppose that the Presi-
dent has not ample power to administer
thoroughly the laws, in spirit oi relorm,
without recourse either 10 legislation or to
any very radical measures. Take, for in
stance, the diplomatic service. The post
OF Foreign Minister Is not, as many sup
pose, created by legislation. It's compen-
sation IL fixed BY legislation, and can be
changed from time 10 time. But the
President has the power to send Ambas.
sadors to any and all countries, as he may

have more than three resident Ministers
abroad In England, one In France
and one In Germany; but would main.
tain very thorough consular system TO
protect and foster our commerce"
Mr.. Hewitt went on 10 say that the re.
vision Of the tariff would be measure
that new administration should under
take, Imports should be levied on the
luxuries in order TO relieve the poor and
tax the rich, and there is no reason why
there should be difference OF SIS ton
levied as between iron and steel rails"
As to the candidacy OF Mr.. Hewitt, an
intimate friend and adviser Of Mr.. Kelly |
said that the Tammany delegation had no
fayorite; that to favor any man before OBJ |
tanning a recognition from and admission |
to the convention would destroy any
chances for an equal representation with
the regular Democrats, which they hoped
TO obtain,
f'But should Mr.. Hewitt's name be
brought before the Convention either by
the New York delegation or from any
other State, would Tammany support
him2"

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE census OF

made. The chief clerk in Supervisor
steel's Office estimates the total population
Of tho city at $4,000. These figures are
made from the daily returns made by the
enumerators, and must not be considered
as accurate, The corrections to be made
in tho sheets will alter the result some
what, and will probably increase the
figures. The corrected sheets when given
into the Supervisors Office, will be added
and the exact population ascertained
thereby. Atpresent no enumerators' lists
are in the office, and the estimate was

for the ten years being 16S,0O0; or 2493
