THE SITUATION AT CHICAGO™ GORTS-CHAKOFF-G-OSS-
RYAN FIGHT.
MAYNARXTS CONFIRMATION—PRINCE LEOPOLD AND PRINCESS LOUISE
WILL WITNESS THE NOMINATION AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, III., May 30.—The Lord's was not a day of rest to the politicians in Chicago. They have acted on the theory "The better the day the better the deed," and have worked incessantly for tlieir favorite candidates, Good Deacon Richard Smith, it is true, first went to Dr. Hall's church before fracturing the Sabbath, but his piops example was not generally followed.
Early in the day it was observed" that the Blaine men were huddling together and touching elbows, "bracing each up," as Bob llarlan called it. It was evident that from some cause or other they had lost heart, and were seekiug each others' company to keep their courage up. Grant stock opened steady, and kept getting firmer and firmer, until tonight it is quite buoyant. Strange to say, the adherents of the" Silent Man seem to have grown rather indifferent to the importance of the unit rule and some of them go so far as to claim that they are just as strong without it as with it.
A good many facts, seem to bear out the statement. For instance, the opponents of General Grant have been noisily claiming that Ex-Speaker Husted, of New York, would not %rote for him. Well, Mr. Husted arrived here to-day, and threw cold water on this assertion by announcing that he would support Grant. Worse than that, State Senator Woodin, also of New York, who declared that he would not obey the instructions of the Syracuse f!nnvnntinn ntwl whn cunt Dlm'nn
alternate to represent him here, has thought better of it since arriving this morning, and now says that he will take his seat in the Convention and will vote for Gra*t as he was directed to do
BossMcMalion, of Philadelphia, who, next to Cameron, is the most inlluential politician in the eastern portion of Penn sylvania, has been claiming all along that from twelve to fifteen of the Pennsylva nia delegation would not vote for Grant To-night he lowered his claim to ten, and gave the names of these. They were afterward canvassed, when it was found that two of these were half disposed to obey their State Convention's request and vote for Grant. Similar instances might be mentioned, but these suflice to show what is partly the cause of the loss of spirit t?mong the Anti-Grantit®s.
Chandler, Hale, Garfield, Frye and Moulton have, after great labor, come to a kind of an understanding as to the course that they will pursue with reference to the unit rule.
Thejtalk of the Anti-Grant men that Grant cannot be elected if nominated was' very effectually met to-day by the supporters of the General. A bet of $500 even was made in the Grand Pacific on his nomination, and this afternoon Col. T. C. Cambell, wnile being interviewed by representatives of the Chicago Times aud Tribune, stated that he would bet $1,000 to $200, or the same proportion of odds, up to $5,000 that General Grant will carry Ohio if nominated.
No one has accepted Pinchback's offer of $10,000 to $5,000 that Grant will carry Illinois if nominated. Of course an offer to bet or even a bet, does not settle or decide any thing but it docs show that the offerer or better has some faith in his opinion. The Anti-Grant men have not faith enough in theirs to back them with their money.
As each hour passes the opposition to Grant gets more bitter, and intensified, no doubt by the calm, imperturbable demeanor of his friends. His campaign is being most admirably managed, those having it in charge being the brains and impelling power of the Republican party. They make no brags, invite no discussions, and provoke no quarrels: but they are persistent and energetic, and make no false movements.
It looks as though the Convention would be two or three days in session before the balloting will begin.
WASHINGTON, May 30 —The Senate doubtless will resume the consideration of Maynard's nomination as Postmaster General early in the week, and indications points to his confirmation by a sufficient majority. The opposition is led by Voorhccs, of Indiana, and Beck, of Kentucky, and is biwed upon personal motive in each case. Voorhees has never fprgiven Maynard for having denounced him in his speeches in East Tennessee as disloyal and for having enlarged upon his connection with the Knights of the Golden Circle. With the exception of these two Senators nobody seems to be specially worked up about Maynard's nomination, while the fact that both the Tennessee Senators favor the confirmation would, in itself, be sufficient to insure it.
As to the probable date of final adjourn ment, now that is not to occur on the 31st, everybody is at sea. A prominent official of the Senate is quoted as saying that Congress will not get away much Before September. On the other hand, Speaker Randall will do his best to close things up by the 10th or 15th of June, and at any rate before the Cincinnati Convention, on the 22d of that month, both because be considers an early adjournment the best policy for his party, and because he wants to go to Cincinnati himself. Against this must be considered the opposition of some Democrats who always want to
spite Randall, and would like nothing better than to keep him fixed in the Speaker's chair during the Cincinnati Convention and the feeling of some of the Republicans, that as" Ion? as the Democrats are going to have a chance to fire off their campaign speeches over the Chicago result in the Congressional Record, the session had beUer continue till after the Cincinnati Convention, so that they may is^et an opportunity to print and circulate Republican stump speeches at the public expense.
TORONTO. Oxf.. .May 30.—Prince Leop old and Princess Louise arrived this moruing and will remain uutil Mondav. when they leave for Chicago. His Roval High ness is accompanied bv Colonel McNeilR. Collins, Controller d'Royale, and Hon. A. Yark. The Princess was accompanied by Hon. Mrs. Langham, Lady Petlv and Captain Collins Equery. They are "traveling very quietly and do not "receive any addresses, Leopold having requested the corporation aud people who he lias visited not to afflict him, as he is dn poor health.
The Royal part}-intended to visit Cin cinnati and St. Louis, but fears of j-ellow fever are said to have led to a change of programme. It is possible that these unfounded fears mav be removed and the part)' j-et £ro to Cincinnati, If not. the Princess will return to Ottawa, aud her husband, the Prince, will go on to San Francisco.
ST. PETERSBUKG, May 30.—Prince Gortschakoff has bid farewell to the in habitants of St Petersburg in the follow ing terms: "It is impossible, on the eve of my departure in search, of rest and health abroad, to respond to the marks of the sj'mpathy "vliich I havo received from every quarter during my illness. I can not, however, leave St. Petersburg without telling all who have given me these proofs of their affectionate interest how much and how deeply I have been touched by them, and without expressing my cordial gratitude."
Goss-Ilyan Prize Fight.
PITTSBURG, May 80.—The proposed
fight between Goss and Ryan in the absorbing topic among the sporting fraternity, though exactly where the battle will take placo is not known. Tracy, trainer of Goss, arrived in town to-day, and stated that the men would fight within fifty miles of this city, and that the laws of this State would not be violated. It will, therefore, likely be fought in West Virginia, where the code relative to the prize ring is not so strict.
Paddy Ryan continues in active train ing. It has been broadly asserted he had no desire to meet Goss. He indignantly denies this, however, and says Goss has on every occasion shrunk away from a meeting, and he does not believe he -will come to time.
There is good authority for the statement that the fight will not take place before Tuesday.

FORT WAYNE, May 30.—Late last night the body of Jackson Smithers, aged twenty-five, was found on the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad track, two miles from this city. It was shockingly mutilated. It is supposed that Smithers was walking along the track in an intoxicated condition when he was run over by a frcigh train,
Elkhart.
ELKHART, IND., May 30.—Geo. Smith, who was arrested a few days ago for having in his possession several stolen* articles, appeared before Jnstiee Hutchinson yesterday. There were five charges of burglary against him. In default of $500 bail he was sent to jail. For some time past this city has been grea% annoyed by thieves. Several times large sums of money and clothing and other things have been stolen. A search was made of Smith's house and considerable plunder found, together with an outfit of burglar's tools. Theic will be at least twenty charges preferred against Smith by the Grand Jury. It is thought he has done all the thieving of late here.
Muncle.
MUNCIE, IND., May 30.—Through private entelligence, the Commercial correspondent this evening was advised of a sensation occuring at Eaton, a small village ten miles north of here, on the Fort Wayne and Muncie Railroad. IN' the early part of last week an old gentleman, unknown to any of the inhabitanss, arrived there, and stated that he wanted to purchase a farm. Several farms were shown him. He contracted for two eighty-acre farms. He said he would meet the owners at Muncic on Friday, pay them, and receive the deed. Thursday the old man mysteriously disappeared. It is known that he did not leave Eaton in any public conveyance, nor walk away. The inhabitants tUink that he has been foully dealt with for the sake of his money, having had consider able with him.
Thursday night some horses were stolen from the neighborhood, ridden hard a few miles and deserted, the thieves retreating to a dense woods. Some think the thieves murdered the old stranger, secreted the body and were escaping when they took the horses.
Some bad people live in that vicinity. A few years ago a young lady was killed while under going abortion in Eaton, the body was buried In a swamp, and a few weeks afterward fished out. Possibly this is a parallel case.
