An Awkward Predicament.

ST JOINS, n. f., May 3O.-The New
Foundland sealing brig Confederate, Cap
tain Thomas Green, OF Harbor Grace.
with a crew of s~eyenty-nine persons, was
caught in a formidable ice nip in Notre
Dame bay, April %, and thrown COM
pletely on a foe. The ship lies over on
her side with her yariarms on the ice.
On the Goth Of May five of the crew vol.
unteered to travel to land, distant nearly
twenty miles, and report the situation.
At imminent peril and in an exhausted
condition they reached Twillingate, board
ed the steamer Hercules and arrived here

For President, Chester A. Arthur.
There is no emblazonment inside, but to
morrow its tables will be laden witt
pamphlets containing a complete
report of the recent Arthur bust.
ness mems meeting in New York.
1t was stated at these headquarters that
the outlook was cheering, and the Presi-
dents friends are growing more confident
as the situation developed.
Blalne,s headquarters are in rooms 40
and 81 of same hotel, and are in charge OF
Stephen b. Elkins, of New Mexico;
Galusha A. Cow, of Pennsylvania, and j.
5. Clarkson, editor of State Register, at
Des MONIES, Iowa. A small placard
outside the door and Autograph portraits
inside are visible signs that it is the centre
Of Blaine's councils. Mr.. GARRISON said
to an Associated Press reporter that num-
erous consultations had been held during
the day, and that, while he was not at
liberty to go into particulars, he could say
In general that much had been accom-
plished, the results of which would be-
come apparent later on.
Logan's headquarters occupy rooms "a
and So, ami are in charge of 4. NJ Jones.
chairman, and Dan Sheperd, secretary of
the Illinois State Central committee. Mr..
Jones said to a reporter that only small
numbers were in attendance at the head
quarters during the day, owing to the fact
that General Logan's friends were out
decorating the graves of their fallen com
rades. 1t was claimed at these head
quarters that Logan's friends were grow
ing in confidence as reports came in of Il
nature to indicate the impossibility of
Blaine or Arthur in securing the majority
Of the convention.
Thus far no headquarters have been
opened for Edmunds, Sherman or Haw-
ley. The discussion and trouble of the
the question of first place for the vice
presidency has dropped almost completely
out of sight, for the reason that the ira
ditions of the party make the latter de
pend on the former, as it is a mere mat
ter of political geography. A new candi-
date for that position was, however, de-
yeloped to-day in the person of Hon.
Andrew ID. White, president of Cornell
College, who was spoken of for the place
in case the fortunes of politics should
make a Western man candidate for Presi-
dent.
Elaborate headquarters under the au-
spices of leading business men of the city.
in advocacy OF the candidacy OF President
Arthur, were opened at the Palmer house
to-day, and at a meeting this afternoon a
committee was appointed, with power to
add to their numbers, to receive the New
York business mems delegation, which
will arrive tomorrow, and tender its mem
bers the use of these rooms. An address
was also prepared, to be printed in large
type, richly decorated, framed and dis
played at these headquarters and dis
tributed at various points about the city
tomorrow morning. In it a brilliant APP
peal is made for Arthur's nomination.

The Republicans Of the Eighth ward
held large and enthusiastic meeting
last evening, at the headquarters of the
Blaine and Logan club, Seventh and
Spruce streets. The meeting organized
BY the election of Charles Cannon as
President, who after brief address in
troduced Robert G. Fraim, Esq, who
opened his address by comparing the

quarter Of a century, and asked his
hearers to judge between them, and de
termine which Of the two are entitled

support.
He was followed by Colonel Macallis
ter who said he felt proud to be called
upon TO speak at Republican meeting
that was presideu over by an Irish
American, and spoke of the position
taken by the irish. Americans in thil
cam paign. When Colonel Macal listel
closed, the chairman introduced Jamel

plause. Mr.. Bourke said his position
was vastly different from that of tn,
preceding speaker, who had always
been Republican, while he on thu
I lcontrary had always been a Democra
until the present campaign. He CAV
his reasons why he could not supper
the Democratic party with their free
trade platform, and spoke of the effec

He closed by urging the people t.

cording to their best judgment.
Owen Traynor then made a brief az
d ress, after which the meeting adjou

to pass the woods where the murder of

some ten years ago, and which seems
vividly fixed In the minds OF those

where he performed, the horrible
burial is still plainly discernable, and
Is easily found by the well worn path
leading to it from the road. The owner
of the woods says it of no use to pat NJ
