Is Not in the Race.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Mr. Blackburn
claims to be in possession Of information
which warrants him in the assertion that
Cleveland cannot get the New York dele,
cation by any possibility, and that he will
not be in the race at Chicago. The con.
test he says, will be between Mcdonald and
Bayard, the latter having decided adyan.
;age. He says this statement is based
upon kilograms received up to twelve
o clock last night. He is satisfied, he SAYS
that Bayard will get the nomination.
Al is confusion over the question Of ad
'ournment. It looks this morning as if the
Senators clerks might be the means of hold
ing Congress here for some time yet. The
House has refused to strike ont the clause in
;hc legislative bill prohibiting the eXpendi
lure Of any ofthe Senate contingent fund for
he payment of clerks for the senators
provided for e. by that body early in
ihe session. The conferccs on the part
Of the House-Messrs Holman, Han
cock and Canuon-say that they will
not under any circumstances recede from
their position, and large majority in the
House seem determined to stand By them.
IN this determination. They say that it all
depends upon the action Of the Senate and
that they do not think the bill can be passed
this session. The members Of the Senate
committee say that it is a matter Of princi-
ple with them that they cannot allow the
House TO encroach upon the Sena!e's rights,
and the bill cannot pass if the clause is re-
tained. They may refuse to adjourn or
they may allow the bill to lie over until the
next session. Which they will do
they say is a question Of expediency
they have not yet decided. If they
determine upon the latter course, it is
thought that an agreement may be reached
as to all the other bills except the Naval
which will probably not be settled this ses-
sion. In this case Mr.. Randall says, the
present sitting will continue until Sunday
morning, when all the business Of the ses
sion will be disposed Of and they will meet
ONLY for short time on Monday to receive
the bills from the enrolling clerk, taking
the final adjournment about noon. This,
however is all contingent upon the Senate
and their clerks The Sundry Civil bill
presents many difficult questions, but none,
thev saw. that cannot be settled.

He has disappeared. He lived with his

said she was twenty-one and could do as
she pleased, and he, being at Coney Island,
could do the same.
Lockwood was angry and took the first train
to Bayville. Every person he met on the
way home informed him of the attention his

enclosed by fence eight feet high provided
with eight escapes and two ladders There
we're five bull fighters and four animals.
The first bull ushered into the ring made
a very fair fight, furnishing over half an
hours amusement. The second was too
quiet and showing no spirit, was with
drawn. The third pranced into the ring,
throwing'up clouds of dust After being
angered by several spear thrusts he made
matters very lively, and after being ex.
hausted, was lassoed and dragged from the
ring. The fourth proved failure, and the
crowd demanded the first bull. which was
returned to the ring and after a brisk fight
and much charging the picadore gave him
a fatal thrust with lance and he fell dead
One Of the fighters was severely injured
about the ribs in the final encounter, and
may not recover. The crowd was greatly
excited during the progress of the exhibi.

CHARLESTON, July O. Exclusive. i
Strangers in the city to-day had every op-
portunity of witnessing frst-elass enter
tainment ut the Court house. The hand
bills announcing the performance had been
literally distributed, and large crowd was
in attendance. The prize fight was an-
nounced as the "City Democratic Conven-
ton" The champions were Z. Willis Viii
son and c. c. Watts, alias Z. Boyd Faulk-
ner. A large majority of those in attend
ance were working men, who are in favor
of E. Willis Wilson, of this county, for
Governor.
First Blood.
The first fight for supremacy occurred
over the temporary organizatin, and was
between the friends of Watts, present State
ATTORNEY General, and those Of Mr.. Wilson.
f, The Wilson men nominated for chairman
Hon. VIM A. Quarter To this the Watts
men objected aud threatened q bolt, But
this point was not reached and the Watts
delegation offered as their candidate
for the chairmanship j. l.. Fry. Pan
demOnium would have been as quiet
as a dead boom in comparison to the
noise that rose as soon as the nomination
was made Men excitedly climbed on the
seats, yelling and denouncing the opposite
faction. The air of the court room grew
heavy and vitiated, when suddenly with a
rush the crowd emptied itself into the yard
and the rival delegations ranged themselves
on opposite sides of the walk like pickets of
opposing armies. Tellers proceeded to
count the delegates to determine
whether the Wilson or the Watts man
should be made chairman. A long strug
gle took place for supremacy each side
urging the other to yield 1t soon became
evident that the Wilson men were in the
majority, and the Watts crowd refused to
play that way and proposed that they file
into the court house and be counted as they
passed the door, The Wilson faction
yielded and the count began, the Watts
delegation going first Not more than half
of the Wilson men had entered when the
vote of the Watts crowd was matched, and
a mighty shout from the victors shook the
building. H.
Ali parties came up to the second round
smiling. Two individuals INDUCED in a
sparring match and claret flowed. The
confusion was indescribabie, and for time
n general row was imminent When at last
quiet was restored, the convention proceed
ed to business. After many speeches and
much flhbuStering, it was agreed that FIVE
Wilson and FIVE Watts delegates be appoint
ed to the County Convention, which meets
next Saturday. The struggle will be better
understood when it is known that the five
Watts delegates are for Faulkner for Gov
ornor. Wilson, however, will get the Kan
awha county delegation.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The Senate met
at 10 o'clock, this morning. After routine
Mr.. Logan rose to a question of privilege,
and denied the unpublished reports, that
he has any interest in Zuni lands He had
read several letters from the Interior De
partment to show that tie reports were un-
founded. In regard to the connection of
Major Tucker, his son.in-law, with those al
legged acquisitions of lands, Mr.. Logan said
that gentleman had been simply attacked
because Of his family connection with him.
Major Tucker would rob nobody. Major
Tucker" exclaimed Mr.. Logan, 'is
my son-in-law He is gentle
man, who would not wrong anyone. | pre-
sumo this attack is made because he is a
member of my family. If the object of
these detractors was to draw me into this
defense, they have succeeded. If anyone
thinks have not the pluck to defend
relative when wrongtully attacked, he is mis-
taken The Senator was very calm in
making this statement, Only about dozen
senators were present to listen to it, and the
galleries were almost empty. On the
floor the opinion was expressed that
General Logan had cffcctually dis
posed of the report that he was unduly
interested in public lands A short execu-

ter which time the general legislative day
was begun with prayer BY the chaplain.

DETRoIT, July 5.-William Wilson is -
years Of age. He has wife and family
living with him on farm short distance
from Detroit. He has also considerable
money in local bank. The old gentle
man is brimming over with humor and ami
NAL spirits and insists on having good
time whenever an opportunity presents it
self. A month ago he came to the city,
and on the first day of his arrival was ar
rested for drunkenness and locked up at
the police station. The next morning he
informed Justice Miner that his name was
Rip Van Winkle. The name seemed ap-
propriate only because Of the mans flow
ing white beard.
His Honor made the fine s. or thyty
days in the House of Correction. Wilson
had no money with him to pay his fine, and
he Was taken to the workhouse. Immedl
ately ON his arrival his head and face was
shaved. He drew some money from the
bank, paid his fine and was discharged
The next day he started off on another
bowling drunk, and was rearreSted. Justice
Miner failed to recognize him the next
morning, and asked his name. The old
man said it was Oscar Wilde, and that he
was just too utterly too for anything. Oscar
was fined $40, which he paid.
The old gentleman then concluded that
Superintendent Conely men were too vigi
liant for him, and he took the train at Port
Huron. For two weeks he turned the town
upside down, and went home in an ambu-
lance each night. Finally he was arrested
at that place and fined $40, which he paid
He returned to Detroit yesterday and tried
to consume all the liquor and thrash every
man in town. He was arrested and this
morning said his name was Ben Butler. As
he was cock-eyed Justice Miner took him at
his word and sent him to the House of
Correction for sixty days in default Of $40
fine. .-.. I'D.

of Tilden viii offer the only ray of hope.
They viii be eager to embrace it.
Nearly every State Convention held both
before and since the publication Of Tilden's
famous letter, has declared FOR the sage of
Grammerey Park. Indications are that all
efforts to convince the convention tha: Til
den is possible will fail. Unless Tilden
says lciU not accept then there is moth
ing that can prevent his nomination amid
one Of the widest scenes ever known in any
political Outburst.
Will Tilden accept; or viii he refuse to
take up the burden No ons knows. 0pin-
ions differ. There are phrases in Tildens
letter which indicates, along with an un-
willingness to have the nomination rendered
him, spirit of resignation to whateAer
burdens the party might thrust upon him.
But he alone can solve the mystery. When
he puts pen to paper after the nomination
ii will be a supreme moment IN the his
tory of the Democratic party. ....
II Is argued that should Tilden be nomi'
mated and elected the country would be
given great administration. Admitting
his physical weakness, he conld make the
Vice President his close counselor and as.
siStans. and fit him for taking up the work
should fate compel the superior to lay 1t
down. The Cabinet would doubtless be
composed of the greatest men in the party,
and With or without Tilden the interests
of the country and the reputation Of the
party be in good hands.
If Tilden should accept, and live, even
Republicans would admit the great prOba-
bility Of his election. He would seem to be
sure of carving New York State, where his
nomination would unite all factions and
draw largely from the independents and dis
affected Republicans Many believe he
would be stronger everywhere than his
party, both in his character and popularity
and in the issue Of the great wrong Of 1876
which he represents. j. L. b.
