The National Encampment of the G. A. r.
PORTLAND (Me.), June 23d.-The second
day of the National EDcampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic is as beautiful
a day as could be desired for the great pro-
cession. The streets through which the
parade was to pass were crowded with peo
Pile and gay with bunting. AT IL o'clock
the signal gun for starting the procession
was fired and the line moved forward with
out confusion 1t had been calculated that
it would require two hours for the process
sion to pass, but instead of that it took
more than three hours. The most careful
estimates of the number of men in line
place the figures at $4,000, of which num-
Der 10000 wore the uniform of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Upon the grand stand were Commander
in-Chief Kountze, Generals Logan, Slocum,
Beattie and Black, Ex-Governor
Fairchild, of Wisconsin, and Governor
Charles Alger and staff, of Michigan. After
the end of the procession had passed the
grand stand the soldiers called loudly for
General Logan, who was obliged to re-
spond, briefly referring merely to the bene-
fits of G. A. r. gatherings. In the evening
a reception was rendered Commander-in-
Chief KountZe, as the representative of the
body, at the City Hall.
Bartholdi Statue Notes.
New YORK, June 23d.-A South-street
statue from the Isere to Bedloe Island for
500.
The Board of Aldermen yesterday passed
a resolution asking Congress to change tue
name of the island to Liberty Island
To-day the Chamber of Commerce takes
the Isere officers on an excursion up the
Hudson and banquets them at Delmonico's
in the evening.
The World announces that its popular
for the pedestal exceeds
$4,000. The Tribune and Times at last
their rivals enterprise, the
Times sending check for $3.50 to the
World fund. BROOKLYN named one of its
streets Bartholdi yesterday.
The Chamber of Commerce entertained
officers of the Isere and the LAHORE this
afternoon, by escorting them about the
harbor and showing them the principal
places of interest.
The Governorship of Virginia.
RICHMOND, June 23d.-The boom of ex-
John J. Wise for the Gov
is rapidly growing, and many
consider his nomination as
their party standard bearer as almost as
sured. He is an intimate personal friend
Of Mahones, and equally intimate with
Governor Cameron. 1t is certainly the
wish of both of these two party leaders to
advance the political ambitions of Mr..
Wise. His greatest disadvantage in enter
ing the race for this nomination is his
location. The mountain counties of the
Southwest have always been regarded by
Malone as his great stronghold. In all
past campaigns since Malone became
prominent in Virginia politics, except the
two last, that section of the State has al
ways given his party large maiorities. 1t
has generally been thought that the nomi-
nee for Governor of Mahone's party would
be selected from the Southwest. Should
that demand be conceded, of course Mr.
Wise will have no show of being nomi-
mated. The most popular speaker and
man in Mahones party with the masses is
Judge John Paul, of the United States Dis
trict Court. If he would accept it, he
could get the nomination of his party for
Governor. The names of Attorney-Gen-
eral T. S. Blair and Mayor Lamb, of Nor
folk, are also spoken of III connection with
the Republican nomination for the leading
place on the ticket
The Published Chapters of General
Grants Book.
BosroN, June 23d-The HeralFs New
York special SAYS The chapters OF Gen
eral Grants book, which appeared in the
New York papers, formed part of the man
uscript which tne Century had bought ex-
before the contract was made by
the General with Mark Twain's firm to
publish the book. The latter are said to
have embodied three chapters in an agents
book, and reporter got hold of one of
these and rushed them into his paper The
Century publishers have demanded reim-
bursement of the money already paid for
the contribution. If they do not get it
there will be a lawsuit for damages They
allege something exceedingly similar TO
portions of Mark Twain's Huckelberry
Finn" This time they want satisfaction
The Herdid says the inheritance left by the
General to his family is altogether COM
prised in his book, and it is pleasant to
know that for every dollar the adroit pub
fishers make out of it nearly two dollars
will go to the Grants. Should the work
prove less popular than anticipated, Mark
Twain's fortune would suffer deple-
ton, for his confidence was so great that
he made offers which no regular publisher
felt like competing with.

Success of the Broadway Railway.
NEW YORK, June 23d.-The Broadway
Railroad conquered all opposition. 1t is
coming money for Jacob Sharp and the
other projectors. Nearly 100000 passengers
were carried on 700 trips, which gathered
in $500. Three-quarters of the yearly
profits of the road, allowing a heavy re-
duction on Sundays, will come close to
81 100000. The road is to pay the city
$4,000 a year and five per cent of the gross
receipts.
Another Proposed Railroad.
NASHVILLE Tenn. J, June 23d.-It is an
nounced as probable that the Pennsylvania
capitalists who are interested in the iron
and coal lands of Fentress and adjoining
counties will lend substantial aid to the
of the Chesapeake and Nash
vile Railroad, if it is built by the Hermit
age route, coming into the city on the Ten
nessee and Pacific branch, and that Mr.

the Northwestern Railroad, con-
Meeting with Memphis. The enterprise
