ESPECIAL To THE SENTINEL
CHICAGO, Dec. ia Times special from
Washington says the result Of the meeting Of
the National Republican Committee seems to
have little political significance. 1t is true
that Logan's home has been selected for the
convention. but Chicago was selected, SO far
as can be learned, irrespective Of Presidential
preferences. For example, IL got the vote Of
Plat, Of New York. Itmight be said that this
was part of the plan OF Arthur to keep in
allisnce with Logan, expecting that II the
latter could not get the nomination, he would
turn his votes over to the former. But tnen
Chicago also got the New England votes. that
are not opposed to the interest OF Arthur or
Logan. There were twelve Federal ONCE
holders In the committee, and as their votes
were scattered, 1t was concluded tnat the
administration was not very anxious about
the place for holding the convention. Blaine's
friends will always hate Cincinnati. Some OF
Logau's friends were anxious to nave ex-Sena-
tor Chaffee elected Chairman. but did not sue
coed. This only means that the committee
sought deliberately to avoid giving any poiit-
ical coloring to it's meeting. Senator SAbin
was elected because he was q Window man.
and consequently, is at present nothing as be-
tween the various factions OF the party: In
reg ard to the systems of representation. SeHa-
tor Frye said that when he offered his plan he
had no Presidential candidate, aud never
would have Agaiu. On the same subject,
George G. Gorhsm said last evening that there
was no danger that the southern vote would
be used en- masse to secure the nomination Of
any candidate. A few years ago, when q NOM
nation was equivalent to an election, an adj
ministrAtion candidate might have been
tempted to secure the nomination by the
uhpla lnnfbarn and mart of the Northern
vote. but in the present condition of things
no man would dare take . nomination unless
he got 1t mainly through the Northern States,
where the vote would have to be secured. Inc

A Big Political Row.
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. ia dispatch from
Greenville, Mississippi. gives the following
particulars of the trouble there on the 10th.
Considerable excitement prevailed for q month
on account of the municipal election. J. J.
Leaiander and Shaw headed the two tickets
for the Mayoralty. On Saturday the saloons
were made a rendezvous for the followers of
the candidates. Money was spent literally,
and the passions were aroused to fever heat IN
drink. In the evening the Shaw faction held .
final meeting 1T Doc Jones dance house. In
II IN va IA HIVNCTtAbaS AaCAto was S0AA-
menced between d colored man and Frank
Montgomery, white. Pistols were drawn and
shooting commenced SsIii f1nlay. white. was
-~fricr9sy injured, and three negroes were shot.
One named Hamer was killed outright. One
Is expected TO die, and the other is slightly
wounded. The shooting created the bitterest
feeling. and during the night and yesterday
morning there were ap 2rehensions of . more
serious nature. The Coroner's jury found
Hamer killed by Montgomery, and the Finlay
occurrence had the effect of bringing all to the
comprehension that q dangerous state of affairs
had been engendered. Finally, the best citi-
| effected by both candidates Withdrawing in
favor of Major Bucks. This has given salts
faction and peace is restored.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 13.-The entire force of
competitors on the Tribune, eighty-six men,
left work at G O'Clock last night. Subsequent
ly three men went back, and eleven more were

TO be Q threatened attempt on the part of the
foreman to get men from out of town to take
the place of Union men. 1t 10 rumored that .
large party of compositors will be brought
from Baltimore tonight, and tomorrow the
| Union men will be discharged. The z..nor is

Typographical Union.
