These were of a generally fraternal character

that number Of other members who were not

to keep track of the converts. Several men who
have been doubtful up to this evening promptly
climbed over the Administration side of the fence
as soon as the Conkling caucus had been held to-
night.
Judge Robertson does not believe that Mr.. Conk-
ling will get than thrty-ive votes in the ballot
tomorrow and is inclined to doubt whether he can
hold enough of his men to make deadlock for any
length Of time. The impression seems to be gaining
ground that the best thing Mr.. Conkling can
do is to get out of the way late it is. But Conk

with q shake of his head, "You can't haul him ont"
No arrangement was made in the Administration
conference for dividing up the candidates between

TRAMPS.

The season for the daily arrival and de-
parture of tramps has arrived, and nightly
the armory in this city is filled with these
nomodic characters. There are the big
tramps, male and female tramps, the idle
and apparently energetic tramps, but they
are all members of the same order. For a
time the men monopolized this profession;
but now their rights in this respect is in
vaded by the women and as many of the
latter pass through the city as OF the ster-
ner sex. Last night the armory contained
seven pedestrians among whom was man
and his wife and child
RSAs a general thing they are making for

travelling in the opposite direction.
They are given lodgings at the armory
and their breakfast. after which they take
their departure and aim to strike another
town for the next nights entertainment.

EDUCATIONAL ITEMS.

Prof s. S. Kimble. whose recent cleo
ton to the position of superintendent of
public schools, will not assume the duties
of that post, until the commencement of
the ensuing school year, beginning August
1. This election is in itself the highest at
tribute of esteem and confidence which the
Board of Education could bestow upon Mr.
Kimble, and in the face of a host of
worthy and popular competitors, aspiring
to that position, his triumph over them
illustrates that in truth merit hath its
own reward" While the time is not pro-
Prof, Kimble's educational career, and con-
sidering he does not enter upon the duties
entailed by this public compliment
for some three months and such
would be premature notwithstanding it
may not be out of place to state, that Mr.
Kimble has been engaged in teaching in
different localities and capacities for the
period of twenty-five years, the latter
seven years of which time he has been
resident and teacher in the public schools
of the city, the past year acting in the
capacity of principal in the high school.
Mr.. Kimble has earned the esteem of the
members of the Board of Education, and
his course as superintendent will doubtless
be such as to prove that their confidence
was not misplaced.
The aspirants for graduating honors at
the coming commencement number sixteen,
and. are as follows:
Misses Nettic Hayden, June Kendall,
Madgie Mcconnell, Nellie Burneston, Rho
da Cowden, Laura Wilson, Vasht A Har-
dey, Tilla Hardey Sara Coyne, Bride
Egan, Ellie Egan, Nettie Breckenridge,
Nina Bowen, Messrs. Fred Hass, Jr, Al
Ian Welch, Wesley and Philip.
The first five named will complete four
years course, and the remainder three
years course. The class is working dill
gently, preparing for commencement day,
the date of which event has not, as yet,
been definitely settled, but will probably
occur on the Monday following the close
of school, June ID.
Prof. Everett retires to his farm at the
expiration of the term, having served

NEEDS ATTENTION.

The wreck of the warehouse which was
last season occupied by the K N. L. COM
pany, still remains on the levee. This
structure was demolished by the ice at the
opening of navigation the present season.
Its removal was ordered by the council and
referred to special committee of that
body. The members of that committee are
probably waiting for high water to carry
the wreck away, as there has been no move
towards its removal from the levee.
AS it stands to-day the wreck is a nui-
sance and as such should be Immediately
removed. 1t blocks up a large portion of
the landing and prevents steamers from
loading and unloading freight. There is a
question as to the ownership of the wreck,
as the complicated condition of the old
packet company renders the question one
of doubt. However, some steps should be
taken, and Immediately, to remove the
broken timbers and roof from its present
position.

PROMINENT DEMOCRATS.

Last evening Gen. j. w. Singleton, Hon.
Hester Clymer and Gen, Frost. respective
" member of congress- from Illinois, and
ex-nembers from Pennsylvania, and Mis-
souri,, were visited by an ARGUS represen-
tative on board the steamer, Joseph Henry
The gentlemen are the guests of Capt.
Read, and are making trip up the river
with view of informing themselves as to
the needs and requirements of the river
that when the subject of river appropria-
tions are brought up in the next congress,
the upper Mississippi viii receive its full
share of government aid.
During their brief stay in the city con
versation was had with them regarding the
Conl1ling and Platt designations, which ap-
peared yesterday afternoon.
Gen. Singleton was of the opinion that
both of the New York senators had made a
mistake, if their resignation had been ten
dered with view to reelection by the leg
islature of New York, now in session. Ad-
hitting that they were endorsed by Ereelec-
ton, such endorsement would not be by
the people of the State, but by men elect
ed on entirely different issues. The Gen
eral was greatly surprised at the turn af-
fairs had taken and was not prepared for it
in the least.
He held that General Garfield was right
in the course which he was pursuing, and
thought Robertson should be confirmed.
In commenting on the plan adopted by
the Democratic senators to continue the
present formation of the senate commit
tees, transact all the business and adjourn,
the General said that such was the wisest
course that could be followed. He thought
the Republican fight would result to the
advantage of the Democrats, and was not
disposed to help either sside Of the family
fight.
The Hon. Hester Clymer, member OF
congress from Pennsylvania, who was the
member to unearth the Belknap sutler
frauds said that he thought Roscoe Conk-
ling would be returned. He admired Conk-
ling as an honest man, and regarded him
as man of great ability He had no wish
to see Conkling Inundated, but still took
no side in the present republican row. Mr.
Clymer failed to see what good would re-
suit from Conkling's reelection, even if
that could be accomplished. The New
York legislature, by such a course,
would stultify itself, as the mem
bers had already endorsed Robert
son. and could not very consistently
go back on that record Mr.. Clym er APP
proved the Democratic plan adopted by
the senate caucus committee to continue
the committees as formed, and transact the
business that came before that body.
Gen. Frost also expressed himself as
pleased with the Democratic senatorial
plan, and thought the Democrats would
gain from the fight Captain Reid being
on the other side of the fence was not so
free in his words of approval
The Democratic members were unami-
nous in the statement that Malone had
lost what little chance he possessed of
carrying Virginia.
