somE OTHER CONVENTIONS.

SOmE OxAEhEA NON AkN44ONSs
 It is interesting at this time to glance at the proceedings of the Republican national conventions of 1880 and 1876. The conven- ton of 1880 met at Chicago on Wednesday, Jane 2. Mr. Hoar was elected temporary chairman, committees were appointed and credentials were received. On Thursday the permanent organization was completed and the chair affirmed the right of delegates to vote contrary to the unit rule. On Friday contest for seats were settled. On Saturday General Garfield reported the rules, the platform was adopted, and in the evening candidates for the nomination. for President were presented. OnzM0nday 28 ballots were taken without choice, and on Tuesday General Garfield was nominated on the eighth ballot of that day, or the thirty sixth ballot of the convention. On the first ballot Grant received BOA, and Blaine 284 votes, with 93 for Sherman, 31 for Washburne, 34 for Ed hunds, and 10 for Windom Grant gained one on the second ballot. one more on the eighth, and two more on the ninth On the tenth he fell back to 3O5, on the twelfth to BOA, went up to 305 on the thirteenth and to 3O9 on the fifteenth, returned to 306 on the sixteenth, and varied only one or two votes until the last five ballots, which stood sos, 3O9, 312, SIS and 3o6. Blaine started with 284 votes on the first ballot, fell of to 28o on the sixth, recovered to 285 on the thirteenth, fell of to 279, 276, 276 and 275 on the nineteenth to twentieth ballots inclusive, went up to 2S1 on the twenty-ffth, and on the last five ballots had 270, 276. 275, 57 and 42. Garfield re- ceived one vote on the second ballot and did not get more than two until the thirty fourth. Then he got IT, which grew to 250 on the thirty-6fth ballot, and he was nomi- mated en the thirty-sixth by vote of 399.
 The convention of 1876 was not very ex- tended affair. It met in Cincinnati on We'd nesday, June IA. The balloting began and ended on the third day, Friday. There were seven ballots. The leading men at the start were Blaine, Morton of Indiana and Bristow. On the first ballot Blaine received 2s5, Mor- ton 125 and Bristow 113 Conkling had 99 and Hayes 61. Blaine's steadily increased to sos on the sixth and 351 on the seventh bal lot, while Morton's and Conkling's steadily fell off on every ballot. The break to Hayes began on the fifth ballot, when he got 1o4 votes, which were increased to 113 on the sixth and 3S4 en the seventh ballot
 What the present convention will do re- mains to be seen. It does not now seem that it will be very lengthy affair."

An English burglar named Bolton has made sensation by oonfessing to commit ting murder at WaIworth which had long baffied the police though it occurred in the aytime and in the presence of many people none of whom, however, saw the murderer's face. Bottoms confession WAS circumstan- tial, and agreed with all the known facts The story, moreover, showed such intimate knowledge of the events immediately follow ing the murder that Bolton seemed pretty sure of the moose which he coveted. But after the trial, and while the jary were still out, undoubted proof came to light that Bol- ton, though he saw the murdered mans body carried by, had no connection whatever with the killing He had falsely accused himself because he preferred death on the gallows to the severity of the discipline of his prison.
