As announced in the GLOBE of yesterday
was to be the case, Governor Pillsbury yester-
day morning rendered the appointment of at
torney general, made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Hon. Chas. NJ. Start, to accept the
judgeship of the Third judicial district, to
Hon. William J Hahn, of Lake city, who ac-
cepted the same, and at once entered upon the
discharge of his duties. During the
day Mr.. Hahn was called upon at
his Office at the capitol by a large number of
professional and personal friends, and warmly
Congratulated upon his selection and accept
ance of the Office. When the GLOBE reporter
paid his respects he found Mr.. Hahn exam
lining some official papers and looking as
perfectly at home as if born to the office. Gen.
Start left for his home at Rochester by the
early morning train via Owatonna, to
arrange his affairs in readiness for his first
term Of court at Winona, commencing Mon
day. During his incumbency of the office
Gen. Start won the respect and esteem of the
newspaper men of the city especially, for his
uniform courtesy and impartlality, and his
continued prosperity and success in his PRO-
fession will always be gratifying to them.

OVER THE OCEAN.

LONDON, March IAN attempt was
made to hold political meeting at Gov
entry last night under the auspices OF
Arthur O'Connor and foreign home
rulers. AS soon as O'Connor rose to
speak he was met by storm OF yells. He
made several attempts to read Parnell's 8
manifesto to the Irish electors OF Coven-
try, urging them to support the con-
servative candidate at the supplementary
election at that place to-day. Finally q
rush was made for the platform and
free fight ensued. The police cleared the
hall. The disturbance is attributed to
the extreme radicals.
At the supplementary election in Gov
entry to fill vacancy in the commons
Eaton, conservative, was elected, receiv-
ing 4,011 votes against 1868 for Shuttle
worth, liberal The Irish voters support
ed the conservative ticket.
THE PREVIOUS QUESTIONS.
The speakers new rules submitted in
the commons last night for application of
urgency t6'the supply bill, provide that
when certain votes in the committee of
supply and committee Of ways and means
are declared urgent, such committees
have precedence of any standing order or
any resolution. Agreed to-. Upon motion
made after notice by minister first put
forth and decided by a majority Of three
to one, on the order being read for
either of such committees, theNpeak-
er shall forthwith leave the chair without
putting the question. The House shall
then resolve itself into such committee.
If it shall appear to the chairman during
a debate, when certain votes are declared
urgent, to be the general sense of the
meeting that the question be now put, he
may so inform the committee, and on
motion being made that the question be
now put, the chairman shall forthwith
put such question, and if decided affirm
atively, by majority of three to one,
the question previously under debate
shall forthwith be put.
AN ANTI-LAND LEAGrE PASTORAL.
DUBLIN, March 12.-The arch bishop
of Dublin in lenten pastoral says: Gun

men who are untrustworthy guides OF

are extortionate the principles. now laid
down that one of two contracting parties

Opposed to State Grain Inspection.

ST. LOUIS, March IA committee of
the Illinois legislature arrived here to-
dav to consult with merchants and grain
dealers of this city regarding the estab-
lishment of State board of grain in
spection at East st. Louis. A number of
leading millers and grain men met the
committee in the directors room of the
Merchants Exchange this afternoon and
gave their views on the question.
Ali opposed the movement on the
ground it would injure the
commerce of the city, impose an un-
necessary tax on Illinois farmers, and
place the inspection of grain in the
hards of political body instead of a
commercial body, where it now is. Il
seems to be regarded here that PROPOSE
ton to put the inspection of grain at East
St. Louis in the hands of State officers
is direct attack upon the grain trade OF
this city and is designed to discriminate
against st. Louis and in favor of Chi
cago, and an effort will doubtless be made
to defeat the bill now pending in the
Illinois legislature.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Probability that the New York Project
VIII be Abandoned Unless the Railroad
Companies Give a Million and a Half to
Grant and the Commissioners-AT Talk
With Grant.
New YORK, March 12.-The World,
the 18th: At the next meeting of the
committee Of the world fair commission,
which will be held Wednesday next, will
probably be decided the question whether
the fair will take place as has been pro-
posed or will be abandoned. Gen. Grant
said yesterday to a reporter who had
made inquiries of him, "Sub-
scriptions have failed to come
in as it was anticipated
they would, and the time is getting too
short to admit of further delay or uncer-
tainties. If the fair is to be held the
building should be ready for exhibits,
especially those from distant countries,
within two years. There is little time
enough left for the accomplishment Of
the actual work now, and it would be
useless to attempt to 60 on unless we can
begin very soon. l have devoted much
more time to the matter than / expected
or promised to when I accepted the presi-
dency of the commission, partly because
my departure from the country has been
delayed a month longer than 1 expected
and partly because wanted to do what 1
could to prevent q failure of the scheme.
Everybody seems to hold back. The
railroad, express and steamboat compa-
MES, the local transportation companies,
hotels and boarding houses, at least most
of them, fail to appreciate the benefits
they would receive. / should advise
postponement until 1854 That is soon
enough, anyway, but my impression is
the scheme will be given up if the finance
committee cannot report one million
dollars on hand by Wednesday"
"In case the charter should be taken by
Chicago, as has been suggested, would
you retain your present connection with
the commission?''
"No, my interests are all in New York
or interests which center here.''
The Times says VIM. A. Cole, vice pres
ident of the Worlds fair commission,
stated that ''unless the transportation
companies contributed about one million
and a half dollars we can not 60
on. That is the plain trnth of the matter. :"
From another source it has been learned
that two of the transportation companies
will be asked to contribute exactly $780,
600. Unless the demand Is acceded to
then the commissioners will wind up
their accounts and abandon the purpose
of their organization. The two. COM
panies referred to are understood to be

Company-A A Neat Little Speech by the
General Cheered Heartily by the Com
pany.
NEW YORK, March ia brilliant
assembly of prominent Democrats and
leading merchants and bankers assembled
tonight at the Manhattan club to attend
a dinner given in honor of Gen. W. S.
Hancock The rooms were decorated
with flowers A. J. Vanderpool, presi-
dent, set at the head of the table with the
guest of the evening on his right. Seated
around the same table were Clark
son n. Potter, August Belmont,
Manton Marble, ex-Gov. Hoffman,
ex-Mayor Cooper, Abram s.
Hewitt, Gen. Mcclellan, Gen. Fitz John
Porter, President Babcock, of the cham
Der of commerce, W. Fl. Hurlbut, s. S.
Cox and Augustus Schell. The president
proposed the health of Gen. Hancock,
which was drank with cheers When
the general rose to reply he was greeted
with another round of cheers. He thanked
them for the honor conferred on him.
He thought the question as to his candi-
dacy for the highest Office in the gift
of the people was a
closed one, but he still
maintained the principles which govern
ed him when he accepted the nomination
of the Cincinnati convention-which
principles he hoped would soon prevail, as
in his opinion they would operate for the
best interests of the country. In regard
to the canvass he had no fault to find, and
had nothing to retract from what he had
said. Commencing the principles of the
party he represented, he again thanked
the club and took his
seat, which was the signal
for another outburst of cheers. President
Vanderpool announced that three dis
tinguished guests were expected to be
present. but were unable to attend owing
to illness He referred to Ex-Governor
Samuel J. Tilden, Speaker Samuel j.
Randall and Mayor Grace. Other speeches
were made in response to toasts, and the
distinguished company separated at an
early hour.

Appointing Bluff Aleck or Some Other
Man-Edgerton Still Ahead with Cole
Begging for Crumb In the Rear-W.
j. Hahn Appointed Attorney General.
There was Sunday quiet in and about
the governors Office yesterday, in marked
contrast to the scene Of hustle and eager
anxiety visible Thursday and Friday, dur
ing which the Senatorial fever burned so
fiercely. This change most agreeable
one to the State officials generally-result-
ed from the fact that with the close of the
governors office Friday afternoon, all
who had been watching the determined
struggle retired from the building with
the Convictions conviction so strong
and apparently well founded as not to
admit of doubt-the governor had de-
cided the matter, and that yesterday
morning his commission would issue to
the person chosen to fill the unexpired
term of Senator Window, and that that
person would be Gen. A. J..
Edgerton of Dodge county.
Filled with this conviction, GLOBE
reporter put in an appearance upon the
scene little before IL O'Clock in the
forenoon Stepping into the Office Of
Clerk Carlton, the reporter found that
agreeable official all smiles, indicating
that he, too, thought the battle over, and
SO the reporter waited around in the ex-
pectatlon of seeing the magic name at
tached to the commission. He contin-
ued to wait until l:30, and still the gov
ernor made no sign. In the meantime
the air of the building seemed to grad
ually become impregnated with evil
omens. There was a long and earnest
conference in an Office other than
the governors, in which Gordon
E. Cole participated. Other
conferences followed, and still the gov
ernor made no sign.
At2 o'clock the governor put on his
hat and strolled up to the ruins of the old
capitol, around which he walked, making
in the trip mental calculation of what
it would cost to remove the debris of the
burned building. Returning, the GLOBE
reporter sought the governors
presence and asked him the
blunt question if he should
announce WINDOWS successor during the
day, to which he answered he thought
not. He had about decided to rest upon
it over Sunday, and take hold of it fresh
Monday morning. And no appointment
was made yesterday. Not being in the
governors confidence the reporter does
not pretend to know the reason. But
there is evidently a hitch somewhere.
Whether that hitch arises from convic-
ton forced upon the governors mind,
almost too late, that he had erred in hes
itating over the appointment
of the GLOBES candidate,
the gifted Ramsey, or whether
the presence of Gordon E. Cole in the
building, was the cause, the reporter can
not now decide, but he will, as the gov
ernor is going to do, and as all GLOBE
readers can do, crest upon it over Sun
day."

A,,otner Sno,c Blockade at Chicago.


MILWAUKEE, March IA heavy snow
fall began this morning at O'Clock and
continues furiously. The snowfall is
one of the heaviest of the season, and
everything bids fair to be blockaded
again.
CHICAGO, March 12.-Once more the
trains are blocked in every direction by
the snow. Freight business is entirely
suspended and passenger trains are all
late, those nearest on time being two
hours behind. In the city the snow was
not deep, but was wet and heavy. Out it
seems to be four to six inches deep, and
to have extended west into Nebraska,
east into Indiana, north as far as Mime
sofa and south as far as the southern por-
ton of this State. The Northwestern,
the Pittsburgh s. Fort Wayne, and some
of the other roads centering here, have
succeeded in fairly clearing their
tracks to suburban points,
but are again blOckaded
most of their distance, while their con-
nections and cross roads were utterly
helpless. The snow remains piled up
four to six feet high on the streets and
where the cars run these are most dense
ly crowded. At times the crush is tres
mendous. On Madison, Randolph, Clark,
State and Halstead streets there is one
continuous line of waiting vehicles, and
during the business part of the day, and
where intersections occur there are seri-
Gus delays and frequent accidents. The
street cleaning brigade are utterly unable
to handle the vast amount Of snow, and
only warmer weather will lift the partial
blockade, and relieve traffic. Some fears
are expressed lest warm and copious rains
may clear the street with rush and
cause a destructive flood. A few mild
days like the present will suffice to inun-
date some neighborhoods in the south
west section of the city.
