, WASHINGTON April 27. 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.
Ho will receive no help from these states
on the first ballot at Chicago , and the
delegations from Iowa , Kansas , Mary-
11 and Minnesota and Nebraska , which
were solid for him eight years ago will bo
divided now. 'President Arthur has to

was ori"usly thinking of going himself to

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

waa there o president who more
consciontiounly regarded the interests of

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. "

April 27. 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.

his purposp and it is uow probable Sena-
or Fryo will ask the sonata to proceed
o the discuGsinn of the scnato bill as

or Hoar to ask consideration of the bill

DKS MOINES , Town , Ap < il 27 , Sunday
morning , about two o'clock , a brutal
murder occurred three miles southeast
of Audubon , this state. An old man ,
named Hiram Jalloraon , wns taken out
of his bed by throe mor.'pid ' after being
dragged about three ib' udrod foot was
Tung to a limb of A tree. Hit > wife , who
was sleeping with him , screamed to give
; ho alarm , was told by ono of the men
who rode back to the house , that ho
would hang her to another limb if she
did not keep still. 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.

which immediately assumed the form
of n .waterspout , rising nnd dosonding
LIKE TIIE WAVISH OF TUB SEA ,
Jostroying everything in its way. Mr.
IS. Best , of this city , 'who WAS near
enough to obicrvo accurately , says that it
