They Wanted 90 Know.

There was almost as much excitement
around the bulletin-board at the Dispatch
Office Yesterday as WAS ever the case during
n State election. 1t was somewhat strange
10 see so much interest manifested IN what
was being done by RepublicaiE Conyen-
ton. Perhaps il indicated The deep
rooted aversion OF our people TO some OF
the new elements that were given PROM
inency for the first time in a convention Of
this sort.
The crowd closely scrutinized each bul-
letin as Itwas put up. and 10 the intervals
between the appearance OF the same sage
politicians amused themselves by fore
casting the result, clinching their pre-
dictions frequently with small wagers
in the shape OF cobblers, juleps, and
such like invlgorating fluid compounds.
Now and then the beat OF the
sun, which was blazing down on the
granite pavement and fnrcibly Rejected
against the Dispatch walls, created thirst
on the part Of some. At least IT was fair
TO presume this. as batch after batch and
couple after couple moved of to adjacent
restaurants, and returning wiped their
mouths suspiciously, smiled serenely, and
then became more positive in their bets
and louder in laughter. Further corrobo-
ration was found in the fact that the
breath more closely resembled an empty
wbiskey- or beer-cask in its odoriierous-
ness than il did the flowers q the " fra
grant summertime" Itwas jolly, good
natured crowd, and showed that any man
yesterday who thought that business was
ahead OF politics in Richmond, and put up
money on il. got left.

Monticello Hall last night, and were wit
messed by n very large and select assem-
blage OF friends OF the scholars. The
scores OF little misses, in their graceful
movements, from the opening march TO all
the fashionable dances which followed,
made pretty picture, won decided praise
by their movements, and showed conclu-
siyely that a master hand had carefully
trained them in the intricate measures
they executed so finely. The three tiny
little misses, the youngest only four
years-Mary Lynch, Julia Grant, and
Mary Chapman-exhibited grace and
beauty in their movements TO such an eX-
tent as TO make them appear wonderful.

 II Bismarck can carry the majority of the German people with him; if he can hold their support in the matter, he will be able to maintain himself in the insult which he has thrust upon the United States, so far as the moral support of the German Empire may have an influence to intimidate our Congress.
