That one of these two gentlemen will receive the nomination seems almost nared judging from the general feeling ot the delegates since the letter of Mr. Tiden has been made public. Oftheietwo, Mr. Bayard will receive the largest vote on the first ballot. Indiana to day placed herself square in the field for Mr. Hendricks alone. Much talk ha been going. the rounds of the press and on the streets regarding the claims of U - Ma. M DOSALD. The McDonald talk had a tendency to throw the claims f Mr. Hendricks somewhat In the background by ether (Etates referring to Indiana as having two candidates, and asking for Presidentiii lightning to strike, if not one, the tothe"r.- The , .following resolution?, passed by the Indiana delegation and signed by Mr. MeDonaid, ets at rest the purpose of the Indiana men and the devotion of McDonald to the cause of his friend Mr. Hendricks.

A march through the principal streets created a general stampede among those eager to see the noted Tammany representatives. "Portraits of John K.eiley and 'Governor ' Seymour adorned the engine, i. a' i : THE DRIFT OF PrBLIC OPISIOJT Is much the. saai..A dntinel representative met Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania. Bays the blue-eyed, blonde statesman fr jm the Keystone: "I am sure rennslvanla would like to see Mr. Hendricks have the nomination. Of cou rse," says th e Senator, -j oa k no w ou r Bt ate la divided between Hancock and Bayard. The'

state should have beeu solid for Hancock. Mr. Hendricks may perhaps get some votes from Pennsylvania." "How about Bam Randall's boom?" mildly remarked the reporter. "Well, the Speaker has some friends in the delegation, but I do not think he seriously entertains the Idea of being a candl. date." GE5IRAL WADE HAMPTOJf was found In his parlor at the St. Nicholas, . where a pleasant Interview was held for some minutes. GeneraHampton Is a pronounced Bayard man, and would be for Hendricks if he was sure be could carry the State of New York. Bays General Hampton, "My preference has always been for Mr. Hendricks, and think he should have had the nomination In l'CO, and had lie been nominated h would have been the President to-day. The people In the South all Use Hendricks, and were they sure he could carry New York they would be for hitn in this Convention. Mr. Bayard can, I believe, carry Jnew York. Mr. Charles O'Connor has Just sent a letter to Mr. Belmont, saying: "Bayard can. carry New York by 50 0C0 majority." I am of the impression that if Mr. Biyard can not be nominated Mr. Hendricks will be their next choice. Yet we are not here to antagonize either Mr. Hendricks or any other candidate. We ara for the strongest one, whoever that may be." General Hampton says he could not think of accepting the Chairmanship of the Convention While he would appreciate the compliment, be thinks that he, as a Southerner, should not take an active part In the Convention, and would decline were It offered, and suggested that the Chairmanship of the Convention be given some one from the Northern States. IX IOWA Mr. Hendricks will have some votes. Edmund Campbell, Secretary of the Iowa State Central Committee, says Mr. Hendricks will have two votes from that State on the first ballot, and will no doubt have more thereafter.

COLOXKL GEORGE C. GREESE, of New York, the gentleman who earned the famous letter from the late Vallandlgham (when the latter gentleman w.n In Canada) to the people of Ohio, says: "Hendricks and Pottor will be a ticket that will and can win." General John C. Walker, ex-member of Con gr ess from New York, says: "Hendricks and Hoffman will suit us." It Is reported here tonight that GOVERNOR 8EYMOCR has written to a gentleman here, expressing his desire to have Mr. Hendricks receive the nomination. Little Thll Rhodes, once Tilden's Private Secretary, now a strong anti Tilden man, says: "We are now satisfied; we have beeu the cause of Mr. Tilden's withdrawal, and we propose to go home and work for the ticket, whoever that may he. There are some local diöerences In the State which we hope to harmonize, and any good man like Tom Hendricks can carry the State of New York by an Immense majority." Connecticut, Rhode Inland, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire and New Jersey are apt to vote the way New York will. Tilden's withdrawal does not seem to have helped THE PAY5E BOOM much. The nomination of Payne will not be acceptable to the anti-Tltden New Yorkers. The nomination of Payne would bs regarded much of a Tilden victory, and the anti-Tllden men do not propose, if possible, to have bim nominated. He will have their support at the polls if nominated, but his nomination they do not want. THE FIELD B50M seems to have burs ted a Hue. Their headquarters at the Gibson House are vacant and look deserted. Arab-like, have "folded their tents and stolen silently away." The greatest dtmomtration Mr. field has bad to-day was the enterprise of the newsboys In attempting to work off a good stock of Frank Leslie's paper containing a picture of the California 'Squire. Mr. Field Is not likely to have the nomination. Judge McCorkle and Duke Guiwn, Justice Field's friends here do not seem to regard his chances as promising as they were earlier in the fight. It seems that Jewett foand his last card played when his son George had all the show windows crowded with the old gentleman's pictures. Something better than JEWETT'8 P1CTPRE must be provided . It is a bad picture, and be side, the old man is "horrid ugly." 1 4 Uncle Dick Bishop looks sad and lonely sluce Tilden is out of the race. Bishop's chance for the Vice Presidency has been hung oa the shelf. But little has been said about who shall be the Chairman of the Convention. SKSATOR V00RHEE3 -arrived from Washington this evening. Senator Yoorhees is to present the name of Mr. Heodilcks. There are over 7,000 Indianians In the city. The Convention will be called tomorrow at noon. There it a great rush lor tickets, aud about one man in luo will be accommodated. J, F. D. The Doings of the Delegates. ITo the Associated Press. CisciKSATr, June 21. The hot weather has not bad tne effect to lessen the ardor of the friends of the candidates, and the streets nave presented an animated appearance since 11 o'clock. The Amerlcus and Randall Clubs of Phi ndelphla paraded the streets with music and banners, and were soon after followed by tbe Hendricks Club of Indiana. The chief topic of conversation is the letter of Mr. Tiliu, dc inlng the use of his name again for the Presidency. While some were disposed to read In the close of the letter his vriutngness to serve the party, the majority of lenders looked upon It as a final declination. Hon. Samuel J . Randall and Hon. Henry Watterson took this view of the letter. The New Yore delegation, as will be seen by the resolution given below, regard the letter ns expressing a sincere desire on the part of Mr. Tilden not to be longer considered a candidate. It is announced with some authority, that the New York delegation will present the name of Henry B. Payne, of Ohio, for tbe Presidency. If this Is done, the Ohio delegation, which is now solid for Senator Thurman, will be in an embarrassing position. Outside delegates say they will have to leave Thurmnn aud ko to Payne, but ailfwlll not do bo, as Jewett has friends In the delegation, who hope he may be an acceptable dark horse. Tbe Kentucky delegation wl l vote for Bayard as being now the most acceptable. The choice of Senator Beck is Seymour, but his influence is likely to hi for Bayard as the rest of tbe Iventucalans. It Is t nought sixteen ol the Tennessee delegates will also vote Jar Bayard. Judge Nlblack says Indiana has no second choice, that they are first, last and always for Hendricks. Tuere Is a good deal enthusiasm In support of this candidate, but its Importance will depend largely on the strength that may come from the Mouth. The Illinois delegation meets to nlbt to vote on Presidential enoiee. There Is a wide diversity of opinion among the delegates. The Minnesota delegates reached here this morning in a special ear, furnished by the courtesy ot P. Keller, of St. Paul. Now that they are relieved of the work of opposing Tilden.they are casting about to see how they can make their strength available. They wiu caucus to-nsght. The following ot Judge Field does not appear to be formidable at this time; at any rate It's more quiet than that of other prominenU'y-mentioned eandidau-s. One of the most conspicuous .of tbe political leaders here expressed the opinion 'that' the contest would fl n all v be narrowed down to Bayard from the East and McDonald from the West, but It la diraeult to see how this is to be brought about, while Senator McDonald is among the warmest of

supporters of Hendricks. Speaker : Randall has man v warm irlends, and a contingency mav arise which will give to,him part of the Tilden vote. Western men regard the support of Hancock by part of Pennsylvania as fatal to Randall's chances. As to the contested seats the opinion is expressed that none of the contestants will be admitted. At a meeting of the New York delf gates the following resolution was adopted: ' Resolved, That with a sense of profound gratitude for hta great services to the country, and to the Democratic party, and with nuquRUOed admiration for bis character and abilities, this delegation has received with deep regret the imprefslve declination by Governor Tilden to be a candidate lor renominatlnn and re-election to the Presidency of the United States. The National Committee have unanimously agreed to the name of George Hoadly, of Cincinnati, lor temporary Cnairman.and Mayor Prince, or Boston, for temporary Secretary. In tbe matter ot the contest In Massachusetts and New York it was decided to allow the repreentatlves on each ide to present tbelr case In a speech of half an hour. The Times announces that another' letter will be forthcoming from - Tilden. MB SEYMOUR S LETTER. It is said that Mr. Miller, delegate from Nebraska, has a letter from Horatio Seyrnoar to be presented to the Convention, In which be repeats his declination of a nomination, and says that he Is thinking more of his will and of his children than of the Presidency, and that If It comes to a choice between a tunerai and a nomination, ho would prefer the former. Tue declination of Tilden leaves everything uncertain. The New York delegation holds a meeting again to-morrow night, and their action at that time is looked to w th great interest. The name of Judge Prat of Brooklyn, has been-mentioned to-night a possible New York candidate. ANOTHER VIEW CF THE PITCATIOX AT 10 0"CLCCK LAST SIGHT. The Presidential situation to-night is best described by the phrase "all at sea," and yet the chances of some of the more prominent cndldates have been reduced. An Important meeting of the Ohio delegation was held this Afternoon, and resulted In surprising action. Toe Thurman men and antl-Thnrman men came early Into collision over the selection of a Chairman of the delegation. General Durbin Waid was put up to represent the former, and Alex Long the latter. The vote by ballot stood twenty for Ward to twenty-tour lor Long. This result surprised the Thurraau men, who had confidently expected a majority. The result of this is that while on the first and second ballots the solid vote of Ohio will be cast for Thurman. After that the Payne men n'e likely to have control. Whether this will be sufficient to influence New York to unite on Payne remains to be seen. The Tammany meu are hoping for something else. It appears that ni'wtt of the Southern States are here uncommitted ; that whl'e their delegates will more largely vote for BayarJ than any other, yet they have Indicated to Northern States that they will suppori the man New York, Connecticut. New Jersey and Indiana unite ou as the one most likely to carry those States The three States first named are in caucus tonisht, but no conclusion has yet been readied whatever. The result. It seems probable, will b9 that whoever receives a majority of the vo'es of those States will be the nominee. When i THE ILLINOIS DELEGATION met at 8 o'clock t he doors were closed sgalnst outsiders, and a vote was taken on Presidential preference. It stood sixteen for Seymour, eighteen for Morrison and the remainder scattering. Palmer, D vis, TilUen and Trumbull receiving one each. Mr. Crehs then oflered a resolution pledging the delegation to vote as a unit on the first ballot for Seymour, and thereafter for Morrison until auch time as the delegation thought best to cbauge. Carter Harrison supported this In a speech. He took the ground that Mr. Seymour could not refuse to serve the party if New York became united and harmonious in his support, and the question tor them to consider was oot one Involving State pride, but the success of the par;y In the whole country. Mr. Wlke spoke in support of Morrion and was followed by Vandever and McClernan. Tbe discussion Is still going on at this writing, now nearly mid. night. : cWisconsin will vote for Seymour. , NEBRASKA has voted to go with New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, which three States have finally agreed to act together. ' They have not, however, discovered tue man upon whom they can unite, and that may be left, until after preliminary ballot. ' . INDIANA - - . (

refuses to come Into this arrangement, and. stands faithfully by Hendricks. Iu-nlght they adopted a resolutlou ktrougly condemning thoHe whohave taken part In the movement to push forward McDonald as a candidate, OHIO'S J ', . 7 Thurman men held an Indignation meeting to-night, and adopted resolutions reciting the action of tbe State Convention, and stating that that action was commenced and indorsed by the masses of tbe Democrats at the lima. and tuereiore any cepariure ironi tne instruc tions of the Convention would be a betrayal of puoiic connaenca. a trencnerous action to a worthy leader, and a compromise of political honor. THE WOMAJJ SUFFRAGE V0CATES have been busy. Mrs. Gage and Mrs. Blake visited the Tammany delegation, where they were courteously received by Augustus Schell and others. Mrs. Blake also addressed the delegations from California, Nebraska, New Jersey and Delaware. Others addressed other delegations.

SENTINEL SPECIALS. r ' rr A HORRIBLE CRIME.'

Jacob Togns Shot and Killed by His Son. Special to the Bentlne!?''.' i - : i. . ' Kokomo, Ind., Jane 18. One of the most font and atrocious parricides that has ever been our painful duty to chronicle occurred In our ;clty this morning at 10 o'clock. Jaoob Vogus, one of our most industrious and welf-to-dj farmers, residing four miles southwest of this city, eame to onr city; and vhdted the saloon owned by Jacob Maas, had drank a glass of beer, and was Just leaving. the saloon (. when James Vogus, Lis son, ayoing man about twentyeight years, stepped Into the saloon, and without a word of warning, shot his father four times one ball entering Just below his right ear, and passing through his head; another ball passed through both cheeks Just below the cheek bone; one ball passed through tbe back part of his neck, and another passed through his hips. . The cause of the parricide, as near as can be ascertained, is that young Vogus had suei his father for 57C0 In the present term of the Circuit CourL The case was to have come up this morning, and tbe cause is assigned to that. The excitement Is intense, and fears are entertained cl mob violence. James Vogus has the nameof being a worthless and profli gate man. AXOTHER ACCOCNT. The following account of tbe murder Is taken from the Kokomo Tribune Eitia: On this morning, at about 10 o'clock, Jacob Vogus, an old and well known citizen of this Couuiy, while sitting in Jake Maa1.' saloon In thlsclt.,w8 deliberately shot by his own Hon. James, ana mortally wounded. The particulars of this terrible affair are as follows: Two mi'es east and one-half mile aooth from Rustiavllie is situated the farm of Jacob Vogus. The farm Is a large one embracing nearly 500 acres. In the homestead resided Jacob Vogus, his wife, a daughter aged about twenty-five years, and the parrlc;J?, aged about twenty-tight years. Mr. Vogua was recognized as a worthy cltiz?n,and was weil liked by his neighbors. James has for several years borne the reputation of alszy, worthless fellow and has been regarded as a dangerous man. He has repeatedly said that his lather had money enough to keep him, and he did not proiose to work. Fora lODg time he has been the cause of trouble in the family, and the elder Vogus has been warned a number or times to keep a look out or his son would kill him. For I ut five years so we are Inforued,, the eider Vogus slept in a room by himself, the doors and windowsol whtca have beeu doubly locked and barred. On several occasions he has given his son sums of money, aggregating iu all about $300. The boy, however, was not satisfied with this, but wanted his father to give him his portion of the estate. This he decliued to do, and the result was as above nsrrated. Jarnos making many threats as to what he would do. At several times the neighbors of Vogus have urged him to make affidavit against his son, btMting that he fearea his life would be taken, but he relused.and informed Mr. Enoch Smith, a neighbor, only two weeks ago tlia, his reason for not doing so was "that if James left his wife would go too, and he did not want her to leave. He thought, however, that 4its wife would make application to the Court for a divorce, and if she did that It would then be time to make the affidavit iiec9fsry." Some two months a 40 Jjmes entered suit In the Howard Circuit Court against hU father, claiming the sum of ft 60 for work done since he became of age, and this case was to have been called this morning. About 9:3J o'clock this morning, Jacob Vogus, Enoch Smith and Charles Miller were sitting In the Court room, when James came in, tbe by nodding his head to Mr. Smith and say iag "Good inorHlng" to him, a thin he had not done for months past. He passed over to the otber side' of tbe room, when Jacob proposed to tbe other two gentlemen that they go out and get a glass of beer. . They assented to tnis proposition and started out. As they left Ihe Court room Mr. hmltn noticed that James was following them, but when they passed the hardware bouse of Armstrong, Pickett & Co. he disappeared, and they proceeded to the saloon 01 Jake Maas, where they entered the backroom and seated themselves at. a small table and called for a bottle of beer. The beer bal been brought to them, and while they were-talking James entered tbe room, and they were apprised of his presenca only when he fired the fli st shot. . When the first shot was fired. Jacob was facing the east wall of the building, and the shot entered th left side of his head, entering Just below the ear, passing clean througa his nead, breaking the rignt jaw as it passe i out. When tbe first shot atrucklilm he Jumped up, crying out, "Oa, I'm killed!" and stagger d toward the door, the son retreating backward and continuing to discharge his revolver. Two more shot entered hU body one entering the thigh, going under the skin and parsing c:ose to the femoral artery, and the otber cutting into his neck, lodging under the skin. When he reached the door be fell alongs'de the bar, and as he felt the Bon fired tbe last shot In nia revolver, the ball entering the upper part of his back. Tbe boy then calmly walked out of the door, and was In the act of placing his revolver in his hip pocket when be was cught by Messrs. u. N. nd Theo. Davis and Mr. Reluey, who turned nim over to Deputy StierlfTSte wart and Constable Burke, who had arrived, and they at once lodged him in JalL The wounded man was carritd to the office of Drs. Armstrong and Moulder, where they with other physicians, did all that was in their power tor him. - Prosecutor Swoveland was sent for. and In the presence of a number of persons, Mr. Vogus made the following AKT! MORTEM STATEMENT: My son Jacob Vogus shot me. I offered to give bim land and he refused to take It, and has sued me for S70O for work lor the year; have not had trial. He swore over and over agrin he would kill me. He last threatened me a few days 40. He threatened to kill me on account of the dispute In reference to Our account. He Is In his right mind; no defect.. 1 iutmded to raise a barn this spring, and he swore I should never rale it, that he wonld shoot me. He never has been affected in his mind -l any time It Is pure devilment In him. I want him to go to. tbe penitentiary bis life time. He did not say a word to me before he began firing. He urtot ones and I ran sud he shot me again. He came in at Jake Maas' after me and did the shooting there. He shot me before I knew he was there. When he shot me through' tne head was the first 1 I knew of him being there. He shot four or five times. He sboi after I bad fell down as mny as twoor three times. In nia will the murdered man bequeaths to his two daughters Illach, aud to his son William ad tbe remainder ot the est Ho not belonging to the widow. The estate is supposed lobe worth 5 "0,OXI 4 - ... . Atter his arrest the murderer declared that it was his intention to kill both Mr. Smith and Mr. Mil or, who havo bsen warm prsooal friends to his father. The fact bat he was much nnder the Influence of liquor at the time he shot his father, is probably the reason why we do not have to record three murders instead of one. J. F. Valle Is attorney for the defendant. No one is permitted to enter the Jail, or hold any conversation with the prisoner. . The least excitable men in tbe community were talking ireely this morning of lynching. Tbe Tribune hopes that no attempt wid be made at lawlessness. Justice will undoubtedly be meted out in the end. Jacob Vogus bus always been considered an upright citizen, and his neighbors speak well ot him. . 4 . , , , , A FRIGHTFUL BOILER EXPLOSION. One Man Killei and Several Wounded.

He says he examined the boiler a moment before and found plenty of water. It was carrying sixty-five pounds of steam, and everything was in perfect order. No explanation is ma le, except that be must have been mistaken, and, Instead of two guage, there was no water. The boiler was flattened out into an almost perfectly cat sheet and left Lying In the cellar. FOCLLl' MURDERED.

Park, $2U.0i: Lyon & Healey, of Chicago, frJO.lHKl; Taunton Locomollve Works, aisout 12,000: C.J.Anndon, of Hursdale, S15.0O0; Vermliyi Co , of New lork, $75,00, aud otners, whoso names will be made public as the investigation proceeds. How much of I his paper has been used by Waite as collateral upon which he may have raised large A ouuts lor Individual use, the Directora are nnable to say, but rumors that tne Pprlneficid and Boston banks have been viclimlztd in this way are current. The barjkwas chartered In lSVi on der the name of the Windham County Bank, and commenced business a year later with N. B. Wllliston, President, and Silas M. Walte, the present defaulter, as Cashier. Thsmost Sromlnent men In the cou u try were made irec tors, and It was run under the State charter for about ten year". It was tbe first bank in the County to change to a National Bank, which gave it a great advantage over other banks in the vicinity lor a time, being for several years a Government depository. It continued to retain the confidence of the public until 17 i. when It was said to have been robbed of a large amount of uovernmeni Donos, belonging mottiy to special depositors. Suspicion was aroused over the manner of the robbery, which was la midday, since which lime confidence has been more or less shaky, until Its stock was finding a forced sale at 66, although numerous stat emeuts made it patent that stock should briDg more than par. At a special Investigation on April 21. the loins and discounts were pUced at Stol.ll'J. The capital stock was C10 JJOu, with a surplus of 157 ,uoj, undivided profits, 57,111, and the Individual deposits Sol .112. It appears that of the latter the Vermont Savings Bank had between 40,000 and Vlu.UOO. Thif: statement was sent to the stockholders, and being attested by the Directors, suspicions were temporarily satisfied. Since January, 1878. Walte has. been President of tbe bans;. Effort have been made to have a .Cashier appointed, but Waite has Insisted that none was needed, and tbe Directors allowed, him to have his own way For year after year he has practically run the institution witaout dictation. One by ore, lor six years, the Directors have refused to qualify, and the result has been that yearly changes have taken piace, until Weite has lounuasetoi men, some 01 whom are widely known and esteemed for their hoius-y and business capacity, had not the time or disposition to attend to the affairs of the bank. The corruption is believed to date back more than ten years, when It is alleged a brother of PresIdent Waite got into financial irregularities in a Chicago bank or lasurance company, "which, It is said, were straightened out by the 1ayment of 70,1X0, the furios coming from the irattleboro Bnk. Wai'e'a mode ef procedure was. It seems, to place these fraudulent note before his directors (all except one bearing the name of one of his Directors who at times was present), and risk his claim to the solvency of the hank on thes. The Directors, not being particularly conversant with banking, accepted them as proof that all was" right, and not until two or three weeks since did they attempt to acquaint themselves with tbe .worth of these securities, about this time Examiner Hendee, while maklDg bis csnal t mf of inspection, discovered discrepancy In the checks fund In New York. Thi-t led to inquiries, and one week ago Hendee returned t .this place, and It Is supposed no:lfisd Waite of his revelations. Waite was heard to ask Hendee If he could be allowed one week: to make up. the deficit, and it Is supposed - this was granted, and Waite on the following morning arose at S o'clock, bid his wife go'dbyc, and In answer to her query replied that, he was going to New York on b ink business. Tne next tidings weie from Portland, where he wrote, "Shalt quit the count- y." A telegram fr.tm detectives la-t nigut says: "Think we are on tbe right track; probably sei.'-3e-struction." Certificates ol stock have been issued for which as yet there has been no record found, and a double lsue will undoubtedly be unearthed. The books of the Institution are bally garbled. Tae pr sent Board of Dirtctors consists of ö. M. Waite. J. M. Tyler (at piesent a member of Congress from this DMrict), F. A. N'ash, W. F. Richardson, H. O. Hillard. of Brattleboro; Warren Parker, of Putney ; Addison Whitehead, of Vernon; W. P. Richardson, of Cluster, and C. J.'Amidon, of Hlnrdalf. Two of the members claim to have never qualified. Beits have been brought against these Directors by the stockbo.ders, who claim dereliction of duly. Several stockholders are known 10 have lost their all by this neglect, and the feeling against the Directots is very strong. It Is believed some of tbe Directors are alee financla'ly ruined and tuat another County bank suffers heavy loss. NEWS FROM TIIK CAPITAL. THE RECEIPTS . ASD EXPENDITURES OF THE - TREASURY.
