How O'Donnen, the Condemned Man,
Passes His Time i'm Prison.
LovDox, Dec. o.-ODonnells brother has
been permitted to visit him in Newgate
Prison. He found the prisoner in excellent
spirits, and inclined to chat freely upon all
subjects except the trial When ques-
toned about the proceedings and his mis-
understanding OF the question put by the
Court Register, he appeared disgusted and
became sUllen. He broke into TRADE
against the British Crown, but repeated
but if possible with more emphasis, the
curses which he hurled at Judge Denman's
head when he was being forced out of the
Court. 0Donnell IS attended daily by the
Catholic Chaplain of the Prison. but SO far
he has paid but little attention to his rehg-
ious duties. His whole mind seems to turn
OH the possibilities of his being respited, and
nothing seems 10 shake his faith in the be-
lief that the Government will not
dare to hang him.
Solicitor Guy has repeatedly called at the
Old Bailey in attempts to see O'Donnell, but
thus far the prison rules OH this point have
been strictly adhered to, and he has not been
allowed to enter. No lawyer can see a con-
denned client. according TO English custom,
unless upon the question Of beeuests, and as
O'Donnell is childless as we'll as penniless,
this plea can not be urged. Mr.. Guys unre-
mitting efforts are the subject OF remark,
and whatever sympathy is being EXPRESSED
here for the NeEgats passover is undoubtedly
the outcome of the devotion which his coun-
sci have exhibited since the sentence OF
death was passed.

THE PRESIDENCY.

MIR. Frye's Plan OF Representation in the
Republican Convention Not to be Adopted
-Arthur's Plans.
WAsnINGToN, ID. c., Dec. 10.-Further con-
sideration Of the plan Of Senator Frye for
the restriction of representation in the Ma
tioual Republican Convention from States
which do not cast Republican Electoral
votes shows that the plan will not be adopted
by the Committee next week. One OF the
active Committeeman said to-day: Mr..
Frye's plan is in substance modification
of the plan OF Martin, OF Kansas, which
was voted down at the last meeting
of the Committee. There will be no
purpose so far as can learn, to modify the
system of representation. It is too late to
do that. Moreover the changes suggested
might conflict with interests which we do
not understand. To restrict the representa-
tion in the States indicated would be to put
unnecessary limitations upon Republicans.
Jt would be to say that the Republican vote
in those States had reached its maximum,
and that the Republicans need not exert
themselves to do any better. Moreover, If
Arthur is q candidate. the South is the field
where he naturally would expect to secure
delegates"
docs the Committee understand that AR.
thur is a candidate?'
II have no doubt of it," was the reply;
land il will be the effort of Arthur's friends
TO secure the Convention in the East. That
appears to me TO be the only real contest. The
choice thus far lies between Philadelphia
and indianapolis. One hundred Philadel-
phians are expected here Tuesday. Arthur's
friends are feeling their way in New York to
ascertain whether, without any factional op-
position. he can secure delegates there. We
have yet to hear the result. There seems to
be disposition on the part of some of Ar
thurs friends who are opposed to the Sher
man influence 10 say, we have had enough
of the Ohio idea. Let Ohio 70, we can carry
New York and can elect President without
