to the contrary notwithstanding.
He wants the Tennessee delega-
ton to give their attention to the
tariff and TO let the presidential
question alone. If Montgomery"
knows anything of the proceedings
of congress in its present session, he
knows that the impregnable obsta-
Gle to legislation on that subject is
the interposition of Samuel J. RAN
dall's official power AS speaker to
keep the subject from coming before
the house, and if he knows any
thing of the real purpose Of the men
constituting the so-called Tilden
delegation from New York Ia Gin
cinnati, he knows that they are
pulling their wires, not in favor of
Tilden's nomination, which they
know will never take place, but of
that of Tilden's nominee, Samuel j..

PENNSYLVANIA DETEOCRATIC
CONVENTION.

The Pennsylvania democratic
convention met on Tuesday. There
was a vehement contest between
Senator Wallace and Speaker Ran
dali for predominance, the latter, OF
course, acting in the interest of his
kinsman, Mr.. Tilden. Wallace was
largely in the majority, but Randall
hopes to change that by excluding
the Philadelphia delegation. The
chairman of the state convention is
an uneompromising Tilden man,
and aids all strategems in favor OF
his candidate. The entries to the
hall and the machinery of The con-
vention are all in his hands. Even
if the Philadelphia is excluded, it is
doubtful whether Randall can get
control. If he does, it will be by
machine work
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
been settled as follows: Mr.. Cassidy
announced the agreement OF the
opposing leaders torefer ali their diff
ferences to a named committee to
be settled by their report without
debate. This seems to have settled
everything, and we are glad that
they broke up without row,
though we do not see that the will
of the people has anything to do
with all this. The Courier-Journal
correspondent looks upon it all as
triumph for TiIden, which is an
other thing we don't see-but the
CD. can see that anywhere and
everywhere and under all circum-
stances.

ssHARpETH, tho Washington
correspondent of the American,
gives brilliant description of the
debate which opened with Col. Bal
ley's powerful argument described
in another column we extract the
following paragraphs from his let
ter:
Tennessee has reason TO be proud
of the position of her democratic
representative of botIl houses of
congress. In all important matters
they take commanding and con-
trolling part. The honor paid SEN
atOr Bailey, ought to be peculiarly
gratifying to him, because ina most
delicate crisis, surrounded by the
ablest and astute lawyers of the re-
public, and by enemies unusually
quick of sight and scent, his party
threw upon him the responsible
duty of opening upon the law of
the case.
The distinguished son of Tenn
essee sits between two presidential
aspirants, Bayard and Thurman.
Behind him sit Vest and Hampton /;
and to his right are Eaton, Viii
liams, of Kentucky, and McDon-
aid. In his front are Davis, of West
Virginia, Beck and PendletOn. 1t
takes no ordinary man TO rise in
their preseneeand speak about the
law and the constitution. No ordi-
nary man can do it.
Besides these, many members of
the house came over to hear the
opening guns in a contest which
promises to be one of the liveliest
that has ever occurred in the SEN
ate. Hon. Richard T.. Merrick, OF
counsel for Hon. Henry NJ Sp0ff0rd,
was a delighted auditor of Tenncs-
sees junior senator. After it was
over, he informed me that Bailey
was one of his ''pets,'' and that his
speech was the best one delivered
in the senate this session.

Washington special to Richmond Dispatehl
Senator Bailey, of Tennessee, one
of the clearest and best lawyers in
the body, opened the debate on the
Kellogg case to-day, and was lis
tened to with marked attention by
both sides of the chamber and by
the galleries, He set opt by stating
that he might refer to the great
body of the evidence taken in the
investigation, showing in the most
unmistakable manner fraudulent
and corrupt practises, whereby Mr..
kellogg obtained his seat, but that
he preferred to treat the case in its
purely legal aspect. Then he pro-
ceeded to cite, as one peculiarly in
point, the Spencer case, where a
gentleman was admitted as mem
Der of the senate under state of
facts precisely and identically those
under which it is now proposed to
admit Spofford. He referred in this
connection to the opinions and ar
guments of eminent leading repub-
lican senators in support OF the
