The dispatches this morning indicate a
very fervid atmosphere in Chicago. The
reported developments of the past
twenty-four hours as to the attitude of
certain delegations towards certain per-
sons prominently named in connection
with the presidential nomination discon-
cert estimates and calculations and call
for new bases of figuring. The old law of
THE unexpected always happens" will
very likely prove truism in the conven-

Only a year ago Henri Watterson de-
scribed the national administration as "a
ranting, roaring farce Of ignorance and
and bombast," and the cabinet as ''birds
ridiculous in fineries and drunk on hum

of dull self-sufficiency and cold stoidi-
ty." For man of circumscribed chan
ces and of an unlettered constituency

quiring Democrat who doesn't like politi-

can't hit Cleveland without at the same
time hitting Thurman-''one of the sim
cerest and most beloved Democrats now
alive" This may perhaps indicate the
line which the Sun itself is to take in
this queer and highly interesting cam

with incidental support of Cleveland and
unalterable opposition to the free trade
dogma. AS an acrobat Mr.. Dana has

Some conceptions of the magnitude of
the undertaking of furnishing to the
public telegraphic reports of affairs of
national importance, may be formed
from the amount Of matter telegraphed
from st. Louis during the past week
The total number of words relating to
the Democratic convention sent out over
the Western Union company's wires was
2,151 ,151. This includes the regular re-
port of rhe proceedings, consisting of
about 100000 words, furnished by the
Associated Press, which sent in addition
nearly as much more on miscellaneous
matters connected with the convention.
The remaining 1850, 900 words were
specials" to all the principal journals
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
record from Chicago will doubtless ex-
ceed this by fifty per cent. What a
different thing the modern newspaper
would be without its ally, the telegraph.

A PLEA FROM THE SOUTH.
General private bills we're passed,
and one measure referring the Court
of Claims, the claims of Hannah H.
Jones, executrix Of Emanuel Jones,
gave rise to considerable discussion
The facts are that during the war
Emanuel Jones purchased, with Con-
federate money, a number of bales OF
cotton. In April, 1866, the Federal Army
took possession OF Mobile, and guard
having been placed at the warehouse
IN which the cotton was stored, Jones
was refused admission there. In
August the warehouse was burned
down and the cotton destroyed. The
claim is for the cotton SO destroyed.
Hooker, of Mississippi, and Herbert,
Of Alabama, advocated the measure
as one OF common justice.
Hopkins, OF Illinois, and Bland. OF
Missouri, and others opposed the
bill. Pending action on the motion
to lay the bill on the table the House
| adjourned.

STOLEN SPECTACLES
Recovered by Detectives Harris
and MetZler.

Recovered by Detectives Harris
(. and Metzler.
1t will be remembered that some
time since Detectives Emil Harris and
Theo. G. Metzler ascertained that a
man named Davis connected with
Mrs. Nelson's FENCE" shipped a
number Of cases of goods y San Die
go. These goods were stopped before
delivery and returned here. Upon
their arrival they were opened and a
portion OF their contents was found to
have been stolen from a tailor shop
and another portion from jewelry
store. There were, however in the
cases q number of spectacles. These
were found to have belonged to j f..
Mcdonald, a travelling salesman,
whose room at No. 80 South Fort
street had been burglarized and three
cases of spectacles, ophthalmiscopes,
and magnifying glasses taken. These
goods found in the Davis cases were
not all that had been stolen, SO the
detectives have been on the lookout
for the balance ever since. Yester-
day they discovered the remainder Of
the spectacles and optical goods in a
store on San Fernando street. The
man in whose possession they were
found came by them innocently, and
has furnished the detectives with a
description of the man from whom he
bought them.

rOwly Escapes Death.
A very sad accident occurred yes
terday on Angeleno Heights, to Annie
Van Buskirk, a little girl about eight
years Of age, which came near result
ing her death. The girl was riding q
horse, when the cinch-strap became
unfastened and let the saddle turn on
the horse, precipitating her 10 the
ground. Her foot caught in the
stirrup, and the horse took fright 1t
commenced to run, dragging the
child along over the ground face
downward, and in imminent danger
of being trampled on. When the
horse was stopped, the girls face was
lacerated in a fearful manner and life
was nearly extinct. The child was
taken to her home, and medical aid
was summoned to dress the bruises.
1t was thought last evening that the
child would recover.
