THE PHKSIDENCY. ARTIIDU. Special Dispatch to the BEK. WASHINGTON , May 25. It is claimed at the white house that Arthur is sure of 350 votes on the first billot.

TILDEN An editorial in the Now York Sun in favor of tendering Tildpn the demo / cratic Presidential nomination ia the sub ject of a good deal of talk among the democrats in congress.

The belief that Tilden will ba nominated prevails among the democrats in congress now. 11 LACK JACK'S RKIItT HAND BOWER. Special Dispatch to THE BEE. WASHINGTON , May 25 Senator Logan haa decided not to attend the Chicago convention , but Mrs. Logan will go in bis place.

The reappear- nuco of Don Cameron at this time Iwf boon variously construed , but no one has yet been able to say positively in whoso interest ho will exert hisinfluonco Colonel F. A. Burr , who is close to the Cameron machine , is of the opinion that the aonator will simply do what ho can to hold the delegation in check , to be used nt thn proper time for the candidate thought to be the most available. " WILL IT HE BLAINE ? " "No , " ho replied ; "and I nm quite sure the Blnino strength nt Chicago will bo barren of idenlity , so far ns Pennsyl vania is concerned. " There is a curious condition of things in that etnto. The situation is nbout ns follows : Blaine has much decided strong'th , partly because Pennsylvania is his birthplace. The delegates instructed to vote for him will bo divided into two factions these who intend to vote , for Blaine so long as ho is in the field , nnd these who will take the earliest opportunity to change. This , of courac , makes the delegation an easy ono to have in hand WHEN THE BREAK COMES , and the C microns will be rqual to the oc casion. I presume on first ballot Blnino will got two-thirds of the delegation , but the claim that ho can hold this against odds first , last , nud all time is preposter ous. The statement that ho controls the delegates nt largo is alao a mistake , For 1 know positively three of the four are against him. If ho holds twenty of the delegates through thick and thin , it will surprise mo. The ABROGATION OF THE UNIT RULE is not in his favor , nnd especially with Cameron as an unknown quantity in the calculation. I can safely say the senator : as not yet decided whom to support. Ho wants a few days for consultation. " "WE SHOULD REMARK. " Special Diipitch to The "leo. HEW YORK , May 25. A gentleman who met ex Governor Foster , of Ohio , in Now York yesterday says ho expressed tiis surprise at the enthusiasm ho had Found in that city for Arthur , and said tie had no moro doubt aa to the ability of the president to carry Now York. WASHINGTON1 NOTE3. THK NORTHERN PACIFIC' GRANTS. WAKIIINOION , May 24. The senate committee lands decided on public to-day ed to report the bills forfeiting the land { runts opposite the uncompleted portions of the Northern Pacific main and branch lines and the Atlantic & Pacific railroads Senator Plumb , chairman of the committee - too , says it is impossible to calculate the number of acres involved , as in both cases some hind was taken up baforo the charter was granted , nnd in the case of the Atlantic & Pacific the road was not constructed in the line contemplated. Nominally , the senator thinks the for feiture ot the Northern Pacific will amount to 13,000,000 acres. Senator Slater , who ia the author of the bill pro viding for the forfeiture of the land grants of the Northern Pacific railroad , says the actu-il number of acres forfeited along the line will bo about 7,000,000 , which is 30,000,000 acres less than pro posed by the house committee on public lands. Slater's bill further provides that the lien lands hereafter selected , if ac cepted by boun lido settlers , shall bo sold for $1.25 per acre for IGO acres.

It is estimated the latter will con sumo about three days. fcOUlBIANAKOIIY. THK TROUBLE IN NEW IIIERIA. NEW ORLEANS , May 24. To-day the adjutant general ordered a battalion of Washington artillery and a battalion ol Louisiana field artillery to hold them selves in readiness to movoat a mouient'e notice to the scene of trouble at Now Iboria. The military , however , has not yet boon ordered to move. It is under stood that constdornblo excitement in New Ibcrin is growing out of the COXTKST FOR JUIK1KS1U1' of the twenty-first judicial district , Gates claiming to have boon elected ever Foil- Liuollcaii , the present incumbent. This is 0 10 of the cases referred to in the reso lutions adopted by the republican state central committee. Last week the stnto committee , in considering the petition and memorial of Gates , reported im- [ > oachiitt Fontinollonu , who is n republi can. Gates after much delay and muiip- ulating of votes , wns declared ulicted nt the recent election. As showing how this result was brought about , Fontinell- o.ui's friends claim at ono product known as Bayou Pigeon , which nt the ditto of thn election was over ( lowed , nnd election officers made no provision for an election there , ns no voting has over been done nt that point , the fifteen or twenty VOTKUH residing in that section having heretofore voted else" hero. At the last election , liowovor , they decided themselves t > holn an election , andreturned nearly ! M)0 ) votes from that precinct for Gatesthus electing liim.

So far there hns been no disturbance except that of n few weeks ngo , when a crowd of hoodlums , composed of Fontinollenu'tt backers , pnrnlod the atreota , filing can ons nnd pistols , nnd m iking throats that they would spill the last drop of their blood in seating Fontinellenu. The past two weeks have been quiet , but nil sorts of rumors are afloat ono to the ellect that Fontinellcau IB onOANIZINO THE NEOROES to defend him and help resist the seat ing of Gates. Exciting rumors ran high the past few days , the cause of which is supposed to bo the forming of a mili tary company. In St. Martin's pariah things nro nbout the same as hero. An attempt yesterday to burn the court house nt St. Martin's pariah cauacd some commotion. There is n great deal of tnlk throughout both parishes of an incendiary character. The object of firing the court house ia unknown. Little damngo done. The rumors have greatly damaged busi ness in Now Iberia. Country people nro afraid to come to town , thinking n war is going on.
