Seeking the Sage.

ALBANY, n. Y, August G.-The fishing
excursion Of Governor Cleveland yester-
day proves to have been visit to III lden
at Greystone. The invitation for the
conference came from Tilden, who
wished to look over the letter of accept
ance, and give the Governor a few points
as to the management of the campaign.
The Interview is said to have been salts
factory to both parties. That the Sage
OF Greystone offered suggestions is evil
dent from the fact that Cleveland has been
shut up in his private room most of the
morning revising his letter Of acceptance
Up to now, only one visitor Of promi-
hence, General f. Sigel, Of New York ap-
pearcd and obtained the ear OF the Gov
ernor Sigel says the Democratic pros
poets are improving daily. The seccs-
sion Of Henry Ward Beecher on account
OF the Buffalo scandal is causing uneasl-
ness among Cleveland men, 1t is report
ed that an elaborate yiudication of Cleye-
land is to be issued in few days. Gov
CrnOr Hendricks, however, believes in IL
noring the subject and local leaders &C
cord with him.
The National Convention of French
Canadians is giving both Democrats and
Republicans some concern. Both want
to capture it for political effect, but
the majority of the delegates fight shy
of the Endorsement of either Blaine or
Cleveland They wish to keep the Con-
ventiou clear OF politics and the clergy
sustain them in this sentiment.
Colonel Lamont says he knows no in
tention on the part of local Demo
cratic managers to interfere with the
action Of the Convention.
During the morning session an invita-
tion to the delegates to call upon The
Governor was announced. The an.
nounCement caused great excitement,
and it was moved that the acceptance OF
the invitation should not be construct as
having any political significance. The
motion was voted down amid some con-
fusion. About half the delegates left the
hall and called upon the Governor, and
were cordially received. The other half
remained in the hall, criticising the ac-
ton Of their fellows. This afternoon the
question will be formally discussed
whether the convention shall take any
action in regard TO Presidential candi.

NEW ORLEANS, La, August G.-The
Mississippi is now within its banks at all
points except Davis Creyasse, St. Charles
Parish. This break occurred March s,
and all efforts to close it have proved
futile. The water goes through the
leyee in stream 1000 feet wide and deep
enough for navigation clear to the Gulf.
This new outlet, which promises to carry
off more water than Bayou La Fourche
or Bayou PIaquemine, is now considered
a permanent stream, and where it sub
merged the tracks of the Morgan Line
and the Texas Pacific, they have built
permanent trestIes and bridges over it,
1t is larger than any stream south OF the
