....Godchaux, a CLERK at the Isberg's
Hotel, in Nickshurg, Mss, had a diff
Guilty with a man whose name Is not
known. Judge Taylor Rucks interfered
and was shot aud instantly killed, the
ball passing through his heal. Cod
chaux was hit by tive balls.
....Col. Theodore LYMAN, Massachu-
sett. Republican SAID that the New York
Inns and the Boston 4Irerf,er had
made the Republicans very uneasy. The
whole thing now depends upon the Dem
ocratic nomination. II the Democrats
nominated a good man Oh a good plat
form Blaine might be beaten. 4 good
Democrat on a good platform would carry
Massachusetts, Mr.. Bayard. be said,
would draw the independent Republican
vote. Tilden would be the least likely to
draw that vote.
Gen. Joseph +. Johnston sal at is
the strongest ticket that the Republi-
cans could have nominated.
The New York Times, the leading Re-
publican paper, says editorially to-day
that it will not support Mr.. Blaine for
the Presidency. IL will advise no man to
vote for him. Boston .4drertisca says
the same.
The Herald says that the Republicans
will be sorry before November for their
fearful blunder in nominating Blaine, and
advises the Democrats to nominate Til
den or Cleveland TO insure success.
The SIN SAYS: Blaine is a fertile and
sensational politician and he will force
the fighting from the start. Moreover,
the party in power is always hard to beat
and the Republican party can Guido in
this respect all others that ever existed
outside of Mexico" The Sun warns
Democrats that it will be no holiday task
to defeat the Republican ticket.
The World says the nominations
present an extraordinary combination of
corruption and d~emagogism, but that
however bad Blaine's reputation actually
is, his character is really better han that
of either Grant, Hayes or Garfield, Dem
ocratic prudence and unity alone will
lead to Mr.. Blaine's defeat.
The Tribune says James G. Blaine
has been nominated by the people. and
will be elected by the people. For a
quarter of a century 20 other candidate
has been more clearly preferred by tho
voters
49,. Washington, June i.-There is
now every reason to believe that Tilden
will not accept the nomination of the
Democratic Convention for President.
Representative Dorsheimer, ofNew York
having heard the contradictory state
ments of congressman who have been
calling on Tilden this spring as to his in
t~entions in regard to the nomination,
determined to ascertain exactly what the
Ex-Governor proposed to do. Through
Charles A. Dana he learned hat Tilden
would not be a candidate before the Dem
ocratic Convention. This information
Dorsheimer has conveyed to his Demo-
cratic friends in the Senate and House.
The result Is a very general expression of
sentiment by Senators and members In
favor of the nomination of Bayard. Bay
ard and Mcdonald is the ticket most
generally Damed.
In his letter to Dana, asking him to
see Tilden, Dorsheimer said hat the
Democratic party was suffering through
the general uncertainty as to Tilden's
intention. The party, he said, was drift
ting to and fro, rudderless aud befogged,
at a time when it was necessary to 90
forward confidently. He begged Dana,
for the party's sake, to see Tilden, show
him the evil effects OF the present uncer
tainty and urge him to declare himself.
Last Friday Dorsheimer went to New
York and saw Tana. The latter report
ed that he had visited Tilden and had
submitted to him all the arguments pre-
sented in Dorsheimer's letter. After
listening patiently, Tilden replied that
he had not wavered for an instant in his
purpose to forbid the use of his name.
He her showed to Dana a letter, written
by himself, In which, In terms most posi-
tive, emphatic aud uneGuivocal, he not
only refuses the use of his name but de-
clares that he would not accept the nomi-
nation if rendered him, that he would
not be a candidate under any circum
stances. 81 wrote that letter" said Til
den to Dana, in substance, two months
ago, with the intention Of making ii
public then but they persuaded me to
withhold it for a time, and | shall now
have it read at the State Democratic Con
v~ention on the 18th ofJune.' In speak
ing of they" Mr.. Tilden referred to
Bigelow, Manning and several other
close relations with him. He said they
had some purposes to s9bserye which
would have been injured ty the imme-
date publication of the letter, and. as he
personally did not care for a little delay,
he consented to withhold until the meet
ing Of he State Convention.
MIR. Dana assured Mr.. Dorsh,iner that
he saw and read Tilden's letter, and thai
there Vas NO question Of the %latter's per.
feet sincerity.
