Another bright , beautiful day , and another largo crowd in attendance at the fifth -day of the republican na tional convention. There seems to bo a wonderful unanimity of opinion on one subject , and that ia that no one tells what the result of to- fday's eesnonynay be. There are all of- * feorti - ti i OF BARGAINS , " ' " "imp'ortant "latteri to b read , dark horses to bo trotted out , etc. , etc. , but none of these merit- much considera tion , as they come almost entirely from outsiders and hangers on of the dif- fercnj ; candidates. The leadeis are not all disfoied tu be communicative. , CHEEKS FOB THE LEADERS. Logan was loudly applauded as ho entered the ball a faw minutes ago. His unswerving devotion to Grant , and his courtesy toward the Illinois conteiting delegation , which has bean , admitted , have won him many friends.

Bpedal Disintch to The Dee. - CHICAGO , Jupe 7/10 p. m. Dujing the first ballot the re Vas perfect order and substantial quiet in the hall. \Vhn Naw York WHS reached , Mr. Moulding desired to have the roll called for his state. The chair stated that in'.the case of a refusal of a chairman of a delegation to announce the vote of the delegation ho Tronld treat such refusal as a ques tion in the meaning of the rules , j Couklhu ; stated that thp chairman of the delegation wa instructed how to cast the vote , but it was understood that some of the delegation preferred that the roll of delegates bo called , so tlut each delegate could vote for hira : * self. self.A delegate announcedi that , two delegates weroabsentj but their'alter- nates wore present. | The chair said thKt.when the name of a delegate iras called , if he failed to respond , the name of the alternate would be called. The roll wjs called , and Conkling thus enabled to placentae men on record who disobeyed instructions cf the state convention. , Gov. Cornell and Senator Wm * . B. Woodin were the absentees. Cornell's alternate voted for Grant and Woodm's voted for TJhino. The vote of the state stood : Grant 51 , Blaine 17 , Sherman 2. During the ballot there was a eup- pressed murmur when Ohio was called and it wai found that the de fection from Sherman's instructions was 10 , 9 going to Blaine arul.l'to Ed munds. When Woit Virginia wrs reached Mr. Campbell , chaiimiu of the delegation , said that he desired to make a statement. Conkling a&ed if thai would be in ordei. The chair said that it was not. Campbell retorted that it was a question of privilege. The chair said that no question of privilege could be raised except by unanimous concent. Conkling demanded'the call of the roll. roll.The chair ordered the roll call to proceed. In the second ballot Camp bell ngain assayed to give his explana tion and was rulodo'ut of order. When ho announced the vote its correctness was questioned and ii was found that ono delegate was absent and the vo'o wrs recorded 8 Blaine andl Grant in stead of 9 Blaine and 1 Grant. Dur ing this ballot Grant lost 1 vote in Florida and Blaine gamed 1 ; Grant gained 1 in Indiana and Blaine lost 1 ; Grant gained 1 and Edmunds lost 1 in Massachusetts ; Grant gained 1 and Sherman lost 1 in Massachusetts ; Grant lost 1 and Sherman gained 1 in Notth Carolina ; Grant gamed'l vote in Pennsylvania ; Sherman lost.l vote which went for Garfield as a 'feeler ' ; Grant lost 2 votes in Virginia and Sherman gained them. Conkling on * the first ballot an nounced the vote in formula which was to the effect that he was informed that two delegates desired to be re corded for Sherman , 17 for Blaine and 51 wore for Grant. On the third bal lot Boa Harrison , of Indiana , received 1 vote from Pennsylvania , which went back to Sherman on the fourth or fifth ballot. Butterworth , of Ohio , made a blun der that was aporeciated by the audi ence with a roar of laughter In an nouncing the rote he became confused and said Graut where ho should .have said Sherman , but corrected himself as soon as possible. Conkling clapped bis hands and laughed long and loud. Chairman Hoar ordered another roll call. The noise was deafening , end the delegates moved about all over the hall. Hoar tried hard for several minutes and finally secured something like a semblance of order , and the call proceeded. The feature of this ballot a loss of one vote for 3 rant in Alabama , which went lo jarfield , but was recovered in Mary- and. When New York was called Mr. 3onkHng repeated his formal * . Mr. ? halrman , two delegatcg from. New ! York are reported as wishing to cas their votes for Sherman , 17 for Blaine { and 51 for Gcaut. This was parodiei < by Campbell , of West Virginia , whj ' repeated what Conkling had said re 1 garding New York : that ho was in formed that Grant had ono vote anc Blaine eight votes. On the next bal lot this little by play was repeated Conkling changing his formula t ( " 2 delegates are said to bo for Shot man , 17 for Blaiiia and 51 ere foi Grant. " Campbell parodied aain , anc was hissed and cheered , Conklim paying no attention. Li this balfc > i Grant gained a vote from Sherrnar In North Carolina and lost ouo tc Blaine iu South Carolim. Pennsyl vauia changed one vote from Edmunds to Sherman , and Alabama a..iiu gavi a vote to Garfield , taking it from Grant. Before the call for the eightli balloting wn begun an Indiana dele gate moved au adjournment until S o'clock iu the afternoon. There wore loud cries of "No , no , no. " Conk- ling shouted "Jet us havQ-the vote ; go on : " The motion was defeated by a heavy vote. Great confusion endued , and at onetime time tboro seemed to bo danger that the convention would get away from the control of the chairman , but ho finally succeeded iu quieting the con fusion and the cill proceeded. Giant gained one in Alabama , one in Penn sylvania and one in Maryland. Wash- buroo picked up ono in Connecticut , and Blaine gained two in Indiana. When the gain inPeiiipylvani.xwas an nounced Grant's frionda cheered long and loud , and Conkling waved his handsatfricnds in the gallery. Grant's total vote of 308 was greater than at any previous bJlot , and there was a very lively scene for ten nrnutes after its announcement. On the tenth ballot Grant lost one , whicli went -to Sherman , in Missis sippi. Sherman gained two from Grant in North Carolina. IJayc ? se cured a vote in Virginia from Sher- man. man.In the next ballot Grant regained ono of the North Carolina votes. There was a dispute over the an nouncement of tha Virginia vote , aud a demand was male for its correction. The chairman announced 10 for Graut , 2 for Blaine , 4 for Sherman and 1 for Hayes. The stats ha : but 22 votes , and the total of the vote announced was 23. Conkling asked for a correction. The chairman of the delegationliecamo confused , but tl c difficulty was finally straightened or ; and the vote announced r. before , ct- copt that Grant's vote was 15 ristesd oflO. Before , beginning on the twelfth ballot a recess was moved , but it wn voted down and the call proccoJed. Blaine gained back the vote lost to Sherman in Mississippi and the vote lost in Virginia. Graut lost a vote to - In the thirteenth ba'lot ' George W. McCrary , of Iowa , received one vet > , whicli was a loss _ for Sherman. Sliei'- man lost anothcr vote iu Norlh Caro- linaj which wmit to Grant , and ia Texas UlaTno gained a VotTo fium him , and wo in Virginia ono from Sh T- inan and ouo from Hayes. Blaino's total vote was 285 , the largest he hr 1 so far jrtcoivcl and wn loudly cheered. The fourtcsnth ballot w : i called at 2:30 : o'clock. The first change was a gain of ono by Bhu'no from Sherman in Kentucky ; Shirman made it up by gaining one from Grant' in Noith Car olina. Graut gained ono from Blaine in Texas , and Garfield lost his vote in Pennsylvania , which went to Wcsh- bume. The chair announced that in case at any lime the condition of the ballot seemed to approach a majority that the chairman of each delegation at the end of the roll cull would have the vote of his delegation verified. During the fifteenth ballot Conk ling stopped forward to the New Hampshire delegation , whicli wf - two seats iu front of the few York dele gation , and hold a long whispered consultation with Win. E. Chandler. Both were plcasjint and quiet at first , but ultimately became very much in earnest. Conkling slndcd his face with a paper and talked veiy earaeet- ly but Chandler fchook his head in Iho negative. From the Now Hamp shire Conkling went to the Missis jippi delegation , and for ten minutes held a whispered consultation iuth the del egates The ballot gave Grant r Sixain of three from Blaine in Virginia and 1 from Sherman , the vote standing , Grant ; 18 , Blaine 2 , Sherman 2.

IntholCth balbt Bhino gained 3 rotea from Grant 1 each in Alabama , Texas aud Virginia , aud his followers sheered in turn. A motion was mide for a reco38 until 5:30 : p. m. , but it was defeated by an overwhelming rote , the Grant men voting solidly \3ainstany adjournment : * The 17th ballot was begun , and whan Alabama was called Grant's vote went from 1C to 15 and Blaine gained 1. It was ev ident that therd was ( rouble iu the New York delegation , for Conkling : onaulted with General Sharpe , Gen- 3ral Arthur and Edwards Piorrepont , nd the three held a private conversa tion , in which it was apparent that all were very much concerned. The cause was shown when Gen. Arthur arose to innonnce the vote and it was scon that Brant had lest 1 , and the vote stood , Srant 50 , Blaine 18 , Sherman 2. The innouncement was greeted with ap plause , as indicating a break in the New York delegation. Tosas this ; urn voted , Grant 12 , Bhino 1 , and Edward J. Davis , of Texas , 1 , which iras taken from Blaine. Blainolost 1 n Virginia , which went to Sherman. Grant's total , 303 , was the lowest ho lad yet received. The 18th ballot was called.

The convention was called to orderat7:25 : , and the ro'l-call begun on the nine teenth ballot. Grant gained one from 131 line in Alabama. Florida gave her eight votes for Grant , the first solid vote. [ Applause. ] Chairman Hoar announced that he would clear the galleries if there w ere any moro demonstrations. In Indiana Sherman gained ono from Washburne , and in Marybxhd lie gained ono from Wrshburno and one from Grant. New York stuck to the ( old score Grant 50 , Blaine 18 , Sher man 2. In Pennsylvania Blaine and Washburne each lost a vet , which went to Garfield and H rtranft. In Virginia Sherman gained a vita from Blame and another from Giant. In all Sherman gained five ; Buico lost threoand Washburuo three ! Elaine touched the lowest point so far , get ting but 279 votes , on the I twentieth ballot. Grant's first gaiii was one from Blame in Georgij , 'the ' vote standing seven for each of them Mid o'ght ' for Sherman , as against six for Grant heretofore. In Indiana Blaine lost three votes , which went to Waih- burne. North Carolina garo Sherman fourteen and Grant six , a gain of one for Grant. In Tennessee Grant gained another vote from Bliine , and a third in Virginia from Sherman. When Washington territory was called , the vote was announced solid for Blaine Chairman Hoar ordered the roll called again , and the dtlfgaie , in a very loud vo'co , announced two solid votes for Elaine. Hi arcad that anyone adding any remarks to the an nouncement of votes WM out of order , and coming from a member of the convention fended especHJv to create a disturbance. [ Applause.5 ] Bhino's total in the vote went tnreo votes lower to 270 and there were wild cheers for Grant , whoso , vote wjs 308. In the twenty-first ballot Noith Carolina shifted back frpm Grant six and'Sherman fourtoanio Grant five and Sherman fifteen. | This change had. been made so many times tint it had become monotonous and was re- 'ceived with silence. It was evident that some one in the delegation wcs moving backward and forward with every successive vote. Shirman gained ono iu Virginia from , Il inc , and gained Grant's vote in the District of Columbia. The first change in th < } twenty-sec end ballot was another from Sherman to Grant in Florida. North Carolina swung back to Grant 14. Dating the roll-call Garfield left his seat in the Ohio delegation , in the centre of the hall , and went down to the front , where Conkling eat at the head of the New York delegation. Ho leaned over the back of Conkling's chair and conversed with him earnestly for at least five minutes. Conkling did not appear to bo exactly indifferent , but was coldly polite , and when Garfbkl finally left , bowed his head in his usually haughty manner. Blaino's vote fell off again , and wc.3 275 ; Grant's remained at 305 and Sherman's was the highest yet. The other ballots parsed with few changes , and adjournment was taken. WHO WANTED TO ADJOURN. The anti-Grant men were anxious to adjourn in order to gain time. The votes of the states on adjournment wasslgnificant as indi-xitinvj the candi dates whoso managers ntro working for time. Elaine , Washburne and Sherman votes were almost solidly in favor of the motion. Grant's votes were all against it. The states voting in the negative were : Arkansas , Florida , Illinois , Kentucky , Missouri , New York , Pennsylvania , Tennessee and the Grant delegations from the divided southern states. Those in the affirmative were : California , Georgia , Indiana , Iowa , Maine , Massachusetts , Michigan , Mississippi , North Carolina lina , Ohio , Now Jersey , New Hamp shire , Rhode Island , Vermont and such of the southern elites whoso votes have been usually against Grant. The plan of the Grant men has been to tire out their opponents by indefi nite balloting , or to force them to compromise on a candidate. The adjournment was brought about in hopes that the evening and night might enable the anti-Grant lead era to sgrea amongst themselves to support unitedly some one of their cwn candi dates.

A careful examinaton of the last annual reports of the Asylums for tl.o Insane , shows a largo proportion of their inmates v.ho come from farming sections. ' The fjct hra been noticed in the reports of other years , though it ia ayyarontly mysterious and quite opposite to the idc- usually associa ted with country life. A solution of it may bo found in the comparatively secluded life of many of our farmers. They need not noccessaiily be her mits , but it ia of I en thnt they gradual ly becoura eo by. neglecting tneir means of sociability n ilhiu then : roach. thinking continually of their crpps and brooding over imiginary losses. Man is a gregarious being , and re quires to have his social feelings gra tified. If deprived cf this pleasure , ho becomes inororao or eccentric Ihi'j mayx bo verifiedby any couveraani with rural districts , for it is often in such places that "odd characters" ara found. Now , eccentricity ia but ono remove from insanity , and often ter minates iu it. If this view cf the cato ia correct , the life of the farmer , how- ev ( r conducive to ph ) sical health , is not the moat favorable for the harmo nious play of the intellectual and mo ral faculties. There is an insliact in human na ture , which declares this great truth the necessity of companionship for the proper dovolopement of man. Eve y- body , as is well known , shr.eks from a reserved , sullen and morose person. Everybody is pleased with frank and sociable manners. Thus the great law of nature , speaking in the com mon heart of humanity , proclaim a that man was created for the companion ship of his follow. And thus in the case of the violated laWj nature aven ges herself. \Yhat , then , Is the remedy for the evil ia question ? Farmers cannot en joy personal intcrcouro with their fel lows to the extent rendered in cities and towns by other classes ahd pur suits. But they can hold communica tion with other and various minds by means of good books and newspapers , and by an active public spirited inter est in the welfare of the neighbor hood , State and country to whicli they belong. They can be drawn out from the unbroke i brooding over their own affair ] to wliicl. they have been prooo. Lot them try the cxqerimorit , and surround themselves nith ample sup plies of mental food and get their hcaofs warm with interest beyond themselves , and thus ccuro their in ward equilibrium and enjoyment which will guarantee thorn health of mind. mind.While While considering this subject , wo may add , teat in every dcpartement of society it is a fund imcntal Inw of physiology that jndicioous exercise of all the organs of the body promote their vfgor and health. This applies with peculiar 'forco to the brain. Disease - ease impairs its structure , deranges and weakens the nioutnl powew which it serves to manifest. It ii by the employment of this principle that the law subdues even the must violent and obdural criminal. Placing a man in solitary confinement , without books , without occupation , and without light 0:10113 to see distinctly around him , is nothing more nor less than withpraw- ing all means of activity from the cen tral organs. Its influence is often so speedy and terrible that few natures , however rough , fearless or brutal ; are iblo to withstand it for many dayj. So much does this weaken the mind that the moat unruly and ferocious ruffians , upon whom seveiity and blows had been expended without ef fect , have come forth subdued and tractable. Theft inference obviously Follows that to strengthen the brain anejmust exercise it regufarly , just ai wo would the muscular gyatem to give it force and vigor. If we nrglect to do some weakness and r host of mental derangements may bo the con sequence. _ We offer a hrat-class wntto lann- Jried ahirt , with an improved rein forced front , made of Wamsutta mus lin , 3- ply bosom and culls , of 2200 linen , at the reduced price of $1.50.

UiiicACO , May 8 1 a.m. The agenl ' of the National Associated Preaa'his just boon informed upon the highest authontyof the actual reason for thi adjournment last evening , and of the combination of the Blame , ' Sherman and other anti-Grant mun to secure it. It was noticeable during the entire evening session that Chairman Huat favored an adjournment , as in every case when a delegate arose to propose a recess ho was recognized by the chair. bllEltMAN AMU BUINE CONFERENCE. This is explained by the fact that II oar received a dispatch from Wash ington stating that Secretary Sherman and Senator iiUino were in conference there , and that they desired their fricrds here to combine and secaro an adjournment until to-day , in order that a decision might bo reached be tween Blaine and Sherman , which , if it did not secure the ( election of ono or the other , would probably insure the defeat of Grant. The final ad journment resolution wa moved by Levering , of Massachusetts , who WAI recognized instantly by the chair. This had been , it is stated , an under standing between Hoar and members of the Massachusetts delegation , and it was in point of fact Massachusetts that secured the adjournment. Conkling h id private advices from Washington , and probably had an idea of the object of the opposition when lie opporctl an adjournment and insisted upon a callof states in order to show who desired it. HOW TO BEAT OUANT. Ex-Lioutcnant-GovernorGrosvenor , of Ohio , a member of the Ohio delega tion , and an ardent Sherman man. said last night : "It is absolutely es sential that wo find some man who can make an inroad on Grant's strength. Unless we can do so I am convinced that Grant will bo the nominee , and I confess I do not yet see a man. I am afraid that Sherman cannot do it , and yet it is necessary ho should if he is to Win. Ornnfc > luioil carcnty cdd. votes. If we can find a candidate who can pull off 25 votes from Grant we shall stand some chance , but oth erwise wo shall not. OTHEll CANDIDATES. The friendi of Edmunds and Win- dom each think their candidate is the man to unite on , and as a result both are liable to be ballotted for to-day. Garfield is also ta'ked of. The New York delegation are still confident and one of the most prominent members and intimate friends of Conkling said Jc-t night that the signification of the adjournment was "anything to beat Grant , " but that they believed that he could not be defeated as they had ev ery reason to think they could hold their forces solid to the last. THE TAIL. There is little or nothing said about the second place ; it depends entirely upon the second place. OHIO AND MASSACHUSETTS UNITE.
