The Now York Hcrald'd political summary says : 'There has been -elected so far 578j of the 820 members of the republican national convention. Of these 300 are for Arthur , 150 for Elaine , 51 for Logan , 45 for Ed munds and 22 for Sherman. There yet remains to bo elected 230 delegates. Of iheso Texas will give Arthur 2G votes , Kentucky 20 , North Carolina 1(5 , Now Hampshire ( i , Nevada , G. Rhode Island 9 , Florid 8 , Colorado C. From the other state ) whoso delegations are still incomplete , ho will get at least 10 of 18 in Wisconsin , 5 of the 10 from West Virginia , 2 of the G from Nebraska , 2 of the 8 from Minnesota , 2 of tno G from Massachusetts , 4 of 24 from Iowa , with 10 or 12 from other states. This will give Arthur 432 votes , and BKCUED HIS NOMINATION. The abiuidity of the story that the president will withdraw from the can vass can thus bo realized. Ro has done nothingto secure tha delegates but his friends have been quietly at work with out any boasting and the sentiment of the country has been in his favor. The Blaine men have done all the blow ing and have claimed everything , as they did in Now York before the Ucica con vention. When they get to Chicago they will ba as much surprised as they were .at Utica. COSITARISON VWJ-U MAINE'S VOTE .at Cincinnati is interesting just at this time. On iirat Dal lot ho received 285 votes. Ho received 10 from Alabama , C [ from Colorado , 5 from Georgia , 38 from Illinois , G from Massachusetts , 7 from New Hampshire , G from North Carolina , 16 from Virginia nnd 20 from Wisconsin.

Hpoddl [ Msjratch to THE line. CiuoAuo , April .27. The Washington correspondent of the Inter-Ocean telegraphs - graphs : * 'I heard yesterday that Blaine was ori"usly thinking of going himself to ihn National Republican Convention at Chicago as a delegate at large from Muino. Friends of hia told ma the idea had boon suggested and seemed to strike the historian of the If onnobec with some favor. The state convention moots in Maine Wednesday and wo shall have to wait until then to know if it is true , al though now it .commends itself only to the most credulous. It would not bo un like Blaine to do such a thing. Ho is NOTJIINO IT NOT IDJIAM ATIC. And what n tens nfen it wr uld create I Ho has several times done things quite as audacious and hai always won. The manner in which ho took the Nnlligan bull by the horns and read letters in the houad of representatives not only amazed the people but won their admiration for his cou rag' ) . Bluino's pluokia the source of his greatest popularity , and while con servative men must disapprove of his ap pearance at Chicago it would causa an enthusiasm that would OAIIHV HIM TIIEOCail. Tiioroij something inspiriting ia the man's presence and every ono knows ho hai no equal its a leader. If ho it not nominated for the proiidonoy ho want * to name the republican ticket , and ho could do it if ho went to Chicago. A masher of political strategy , an inspiring leader and orator who lifts nn audienca off their seats , Blaina would stand head and should DM above every man in the con vention and ba ublo to command a fallow ing that wouM control Un deliberations , waa there o president who more consciontiounly regarded the interests of the sorvicH , or who used patronage loss to ndvanco his jicraonnt ambition than President Arthur. There wna never a mnn in the \Vhlto House before who could tolerate what the president permits in Collector IloborUoii of Now York. IT IS A SPKOTVCLB KNTIHKI.Y HP.V in politics to see the head of the most powerful political machine in all the coun try using it ngainst the administration , and yet the opponents of the president do not scam to recognize his generosity in Internal-revenue Collector this pnrMoulnr. - lector Duvnl of West Virginia , who at tempted to make n littla political capital by resigning his olllco bccauao lie could not conscientiously support the preni- dont'n ronomination , has recalled hia res ignation and 1ms Arthur's permission TO 00 IN WITH ALT. HIS VOWlUl for Blaino. I don't ' holiovo Blaine would bfl so generous toward n political oppo nent. What gratifies the president most is the commendation hia administration has received from ovary convention so fir hold. All resolutions that hiis boon passed - od approving his course nro secretly pre served by him and will bo the choicest relics ho can carry nwfiy whou ho leavca the executive mansion. Ho was more anxioun to receive this endorsement from his than to iho party secure re-nom ination. THK Oljl ) GUAItl ) . IS O1UNT A DARK IIOUSK ? Special despatch to The Bee. CHICAGO , April 27. "Thoro is some thing in this 'Grant talk' " said a promin ent republican , "nnd you must keep your eyes fpon foe it. I think a majority of the Logan men are Grant men at heart , and many Arthur men in the south. Chauncoy Filloy , of Missouri , is for Grant. Platt , of Now York , another delegate , is for Grant. Jerome B. Chaf- fee , supposed to bo a Logan general western manager , is secretly for Grant , and so is Jim Balford , cf Colorado. Senator Jones and Bonanza Mackcy will ho.id the Nevada delegation and they arc for Grant. Cameron will bo back from Europe in time to take n hand in the same ] lino. Ycu see Grant hai HAS BEEN QUIET LATELY , and has outlived to a great extent [ the antagonisms of 1830. Many Blaine moo now speak very well cf him and Grant men think ho will be nominated after the long fight of the leading candidates wears out the patience of the convention. Lot mo give you some pointers in this case of delegates alroidy elected to the Iho national convention : DO wear the 30G badges and belong to the IMMORTAL OLD GUARD. lan't that a good nucleus for n whirlwind to sweep to the old commander at the right moment ? Of these fifty , there are forty-four supposed to bo for Arthur , three for Blaine , and three for Logan. Alabama alone has S of the 300 men in her delegation , Arkansas G , Georgia 5 , Illinois 1 , Kentucky 1 , Louisiana 4 , Ma ryland 1 , Mississippi 2 , Missouri 4 , Now York 6 , Pennsylvania 3 , South Carolina 2. Tennessee 3 and Virginia 4. The way in which they nro distributed among the states makes their influence greater. More are coming from other htitos ; look out for them I The only Illinois delegate in the convention of 1880 wlu has boon elected this year is J. M. Truet , of Ilills- bore , and he is one of the GOO. " MEUUlUKCOUNTl'UEPUBLUJANS. SpocliI Corrcupcndcnco of Thu Buo , CENTRAL CITV , Nob. , April 25.

At n mooting of the house committee on Pacific rnil- roads Saturday , Roprcsontativo Thompson - son was instrnctea to r jiort his bill nmending the Thurmnn sinking fund act. Representative Post \vns given authority to submit the minority report. IJis re port will bo signed by four or five mum- bora of the committee. The bill which ! iu will aubmit with the report is based upon thu ono introduced in the senate by Mr. 1''dm ' mi da. It includes nil the sub sidised roads nnd makes it optional with Lhom to settle their indebtedness with the government in 120 semi-annual i > ny- tnenta , In cnso of n rend defaulting , it it to ba governed by the Thurninn nctexcept thnt the per cunt , ( if the net earnings paid into the sinking fund is increased From 25 to , ' 15 per cent. Post , in hi ? re- poet accompanying tlio bill , says : Tlio minority of the committee think that in dealing with questions involving so great an interest , wo ought not to show a dis position to oppress these railroad compan ies so nn to cripple them in their opera tions. The only question proaontod is how boot to scciiro to the government the ulti- innte payment of the debt. The question of time U of secondary importance. Wo believe the wisest policy ia to devise some menus whereby the question shall bo set tled now and for all time , in such n man ner as shall render it impossible for the constitutionality f the Thunnau act to bo again brought before the supreme court. It ia conceded by the majority report that their bill is only a temporary measure , aiming at securing an increased amount for the railroad companies over that proidod by the Thurman act. No claim is ina'do that , at maturity of the bonds outstanding , any great amount of the principal will bo paid. At maturity of the bonds , then congress will bo oblig ed to cunct legislation to extend the time of payment. Wo believe it better to enact - act a law which will make the govern ment aafo , and at the eamo time give the railroad companies an opportunity to pro tect themselves against the competition of non-subsidized roads. WASHINGTON NOTES. PA.VOF mrWMATS. The house committee on appropriations reported the bill making appropriations for the coneular and diplomatic norvice.

Jallerson was old quito a me and inolTetuiivo and there are strong suspicions that some of his fiinily are mixed up in the murder and his daugh ter's husband , John Smytho , a hard character , is freely charged with the crime. It is also supposed the old man's son , Ciooro , was ono of the party who did the hanging. The family is not a briuht one , and the son is said to ba almost fool ish and just such a man ns could bo per suaded to do sujh a deed. The whole country is aroused If the men are caught there will probably bo another hanging without trial. TJ1K OIjI > AVOKtilX THK TllOOl'8 AT IIEUBKK. LONDON , April 27.
