The Presidential Party,
CAMP VEST. ON SPRING CREEK (Wy.) Au.
gust 10th.-The day, so far. since lssving
Camp Rolliss, at Bull Lake Fork, this morn
ing st o'clock, has been very uneveutful. The
President ard sil the members of the party
are in excellent health ard spirit. The
country Travelled over to,d day has beea mostly
ssgsbrnsh mesas. varied BY alternate ascsnts
and decents of steep hills with loose stones,
which made a preearious footing for the ami
mails. One cannot help wondering why so
much material was wasted in the making of
SO many apparently useless ridges, when
there are plenty of euiches which might as
we'll be filed, all along the route. However,
the glorious Wind River and Owl Creek
mountains, with their snow-clad peaks, are in
sight, and afford rsstfulness to the eyes of the
travellers who are pursuing their way across
the dried and heated mesas below. The
camp on Spring creek, however, is a very
delightful one. 1t Is a pleasant ground,
with plenty Of the essential requirements of
good camping placss-waof, water aud grass.
To the eastward Of us is the Crowheart Butte,
which is g noted landmark Of the Wind river
valley, and the photographer has obtained
,several pictures. This dispatch has to leave
by carriers at this afternoon. so no reports
can be made to-day Of the results obtained by
EH6 udIeTM0b. Inc Cdmp Is named lamp
Vest, in honor of Senator G. G. Vest, who
ia one Of the most enthusiastic and successful
anglers Of the party. After the Dispatch Of
yesterday from Bull Lake Fork. both the
President ard Senator Vest brought into
camp five creels full Of trout, as q result Of
the afternoons sport. There are no special
or professional correspondents with the party,
and all dispatches purporting to come from
such persons are spurious.
Political Gossip-The Arthur "B0Om."
WAsHINGToN, August 12th.-Frank Howe,
son Of the late Postmaster-G General, has lust
returned from visit to Wisconsin. One of
the men with whom he talked was Governor
RusB, Of Wisconsin. The Governor WAS a
power in the Chicago Convention. He had
Gsrfsld's fate il his hands. He did more
than any one man TO secure his nomination.
The Wisconsin vote was at his command. and
he used it effectively during the nalstruggle.
"I had long talk with the Governor" said
Mr.. Howe. "He discussed the political
situation with great freedom. He did not
like Arthur when the Convention accepted
him IS sop to the stal~ars element, but ne
now has a great admiration for him. Said
be, 'Arthur's course since he succeeded Gar
| field has compelled ny admiration. He has
bsen wise and considerate In dealing with sf-
| fairs Of state. He has tTuckled neither to
stalwart or half-breed, and has preserved a
| medium course. which, while it may have Of
| Tended, hss secured to him the respect of q
| great msjority Of the party. General Arthur
will receive the supportsof the full delegation
| from WiscOnsin in the next Convention, and
| Wisconsin viii have 2 great influence in the
result. General Arthur viii, in my opinion,
| be the next nominee of the Republican
| party"

SECOND DISPATCH.l
ATLANTA. August 12sh.-The fire broke
out at half-psst o'clock. As to the origin of
the conf1sgratiop, Charlie S. Ledder and
Phil. Green, two newspaper men on the
Constitution, saw the fire breaking out, and
realizing the danger the guests vera in,
rushed into the building and made their way
along the corridors, waking up the sleeping
occupants. In some places they certainly
saved lives, IS there were people 10 the house
who had not been brought out by the first
alarm. They went TO the tcp story. and did
much good work in waking the people. They
express the opinion that when the debris ia
