POLITICAL NOTES.

| - Blaine's friends claim majority of del
egates from new Jersey and Delaware.
| The New York Republican delegation
| to the National Convention stands seven for
Blaine and sixteen for Arthur.
The local Republican conventions of
| New York city favor Arthur for President,
and those outside the city mostly favor
Blaine.
| The Atlanta, Ga, Constitution (Dem.)
does not see how any member Of can object
to the Education bill, which will chiefly
benefit his own section.
| The resolutions of the Illinois Republican
convention request the delegates appointed
| from the State at large and instruct those
appointed by the convention to vote for
Logan at the National Convention.
| The Democrats of West Virginia in
convention, have fired the first gun for
Tilden, by instructing the delegates from
that State in the National Convention to
vote for him.
The seats in the National Republican
to each delegate and alternate, 1000 to the
| Chicago local committee, and reserving
from 400 to 600 for the daily press, will be
distributed to the several States in exact
proportion to the number of their delegates.
| -Lincoln's chances are pretty good for
| the Vice Presidency nomination. He is
named in connection with every presiden-
! tial name suggested by the Republicans
but Logan's and probably would be hitched
to Logan's if Logan was not from Illinois,
which is also Lincoln's State.
| Ex-senator Joseph E. Mcdonald was
| formally declared Democratic candidate
for President by the Indiana Association of
Washington City Thursday evening. The
ceremonies were chiefly conducted by Sena-
tor Daniel w. Voorhees,, who pronounced
a magnificent eulogium upon the great rep
resentative of Democracy.
-Johnathan Norcross, the headlight of the
white Republican movement in Georgia,
has written a letter to the Atlanta Co'stitu-
tion in which he says the plan for separate
white and colored political organizations
seems to take we'll with the colored voters.
In its adoption we can, he says, in my
opinion, pet rid Of the political tramps
and bummers, and relieve to a great extent
our State of floating and vagrant voters,
which are a curse to any community.
The banquet of the Iroquois club, in
Chicago on Tuesday night of last week, was
chiefly remarkable for letter from Mr.. Til
den. The distinguished Democratic leader
excused himself from personal attendance
on account of a pressure of business; but
his letter contains much timely advice to
the party. He says that he no longer as
pires to be leader in the great work Of
bringing about change of administration,
but he has not lost his faith in the ultimate
happy deliyerance of the country from the
iniquitous rule of the dominant party.
The KINGS MOUNTAIN Tin ORE DIS
covERY.-A Charlotte dispatch of last Sat-
urday says Developments at Kings Noun
tain in search for tin stone, of which so
much has been lately said in the papers, has
satisfied the most incredulous that tin ore
has been found there in abundance. A vein
from five to seven feet thick has been un-
covered for six hundred yards and the out
groupings indicate that the vein is at least a
mile long. 1t is located near the dividing
Huronian states, possibly found in no other
portion of the Atlantic slope. The vein has
been tapped at seven places to disclose its
presence and at two points shafts have been
sunk to the depth Of % feet, and at one of
the shafts the vein is walled from the sur
face downward by slate and mica schist,
showing the permanency of the vein. Tin
ore taken from one portion OF the vein by
which the shaft was sunk, under analyses
by DR.. Dabney, State chemist, showed 81
per cent metallic tin, specimen being Sc
have been made by DR.. Dabney, State chem
ist, Prof. Geo. B. Hanna, assistant assayer
at the United States assay Office, Charlotte,
and the Chemist expert of the Richmond
and Danville Railroad company, all with
the same general result. The discovery is
on lands in the suburbs of the village on
what is known as the Falls property, but
has been bonded by a company engaged in
the development of minerals. The compa-
ny is without the necessary capital to work
the mine with any degree of success, but
are holding it for sale to parties who have
capital. It is no longer a venture, but a
solid realty, and one which only awaits the
necessary amount of capital to prove bo-
nanza to the lucky purchaser.
