Rational Brpabllcaa Contention. A National Convention of the Re bublican party will meet at Chicago, Wednesday, the 2d of June, next, for nomination of candidates to be sup ported for President and Vice Presi dent at the next election. Republi cans and all who will co-operate with them in supporting the nominees of the party, are invited to choose two delegates from each Congressional district, four at-large from each State, two from each Territory and two from the District of Columbia, to represent them in the convention. J. D. Cameron, Chairman. Thos. B. Keooh, Secretary. Sherman rod Blaine. Washington, March 19. General Groevenor of Ohio, one of the most prominent Republican politicians in the State, has been in Washington for three or four days, during which time he has dined with Secretary Sherman, Senator Blaine and other leading Re publicans. His visit is ostensibly a social one, but little doubt Is felt that the real object waa to secure an under standing between the friends of Blaine and Sherman, by which the former will make uo effort to secure .Ohio for the Maine Senator on con dition that Sherman's delegates to Chicago shall be for Blaine as second choice. The most candid of Sherman's friends admit that rf the Blaine men should try to carry the Ohio conven tion it would take very hard work to hold K for the secretary of the Treas ury. But Sherman, of course, could not continue in the field if his own State did not at least appear to sup port him, and, as the Blaine men consider it essential to Grant's defeat that Sherman should remain a candi date, it may be considered settled that there will be no open opposition to him in his own State. Hon. Adolph Puntz has been nom inated for President by a German pa per In Missouri, and the Boston Poit suggests Carl Schurz for the other end of the ticket, arguing that Pauts and Bchurz would go well together. Bishop Simpson says that the four great powers of the earth are the United Rtatea. Grant, Rrltain nwnun and Russia, for the reason that Jesus Christ Is recoginized as an authority in their jurisprudence, their legisla tion, their education and their social wad domestic organization. The Rev. Mr. Imlock, of Murroes, tr AS a Dcouana, was an aoie man, but a very absent-minded one, and once in a public service of considerable im portance, he spoke of all ranks and degrees of persons "from the king on the dunghill to the beggar on the throne ;" but, suspecting rather than perceiving the mistake, he proceeded instantly to amend his error by say ing "No, my friends, I mean from the beggar on the throne to the king on the dunghill." Kentucky has a new Sunday law which was enforced for the first time last week. The good people of Frank ford were unused to and unprepared for such a thing, and the result was that they bad to do without bread, meat, milk, cigars, tobacco and beer, and the men who needed shaving were obliged to have the barbers attend them at home. As a local paper said, it was a Puritanical blue-law day, such as was known in Connecticut when It was a punishable offence to kiss your wife on Sunday. Worthy of Attention.

Praia rar regular Correspondent.) Washington, D. C, March 22, 1880. Both houses of Congress are ' get ting warmed tip In their work, and are making things lively for politi cians generally. The Senate Election Committee created quite a flutter of excitement among all our nation-savers by their declaration that Senator Kellogg'e aeat was vacant, and that Spoffbrd Is legally entitled thereto. The Republicans I nsist that such action Is revolutionary In its tendency, aud portends serious future trouble, since Intended as one of the means by which the Democrat candidate for President may be counted in next spring, whether legally elected or not In November. Kellogg never was elected; that this action is strictly iu Accordance with right and Justice, and that the people will next fall sustain ft when the facta are properly put before them. At any rate, nothing has occurred In the Capitol this winter which has In duced more outside discussion ' and debate than this move. Mr. Kellogg and his friends claim that Senator Hill, who pressed the matter to a vote, was actuated by personal rather than party motives, and inteuded it to di vert publlo attention from himself in the Raymond scandal. Whether this assertion be true or untrue. Senator Hill has certainly stirred up a hornet's nest in attacking Mrs. Belva Lock- wood. Our recent prediction that he would regret his action has been fully verified, for she is after him with all the fury of a "woman scorned." Though he tries to ease her blows with charges of attempted blackmail falsifier eta., she is terribly persistent and the end is not yet. She publicly accuses him of seducing young girls and of being a bad fellow generally, and no one doubts she will have the last word, whatever he may say and do in the future. She undoubtedly acted in good professional faith in fil ing a bill in the courts against him for Miss Raymond, as the evidence to sustain her on this point is indis putable. Miss Raymond's denial of ever having charged the Senator with seducing her is unwarranted under the facts; yet there Is no evidence, be yond her own allegations, that her charges had the slightest foundation in fact. But the endeavors to saddle all responsibility for her statement upon Mrs. Lockwood was unfortunate as it puts her, not Miss Raymond, in the category of shyster and black mailer. She, therefore, as a purely personal matter, has gone into a fight against him with all her ability and aroused woman's ire, which will, to say the last, be an unpleasant one to him before she gets through with him as she can throw dirt equal to any male lawyer at the bar. One of the sequences of this quarrel has been the introduction of a bill into the House to prevent blackmail. Notwithstand ing the need of a stringent statute up on this matter, yet this bill will not now become a law, for it will meet a fatal opposition from the lobby, which as it is composed largely of women has strength enough to defeat any measure encroaching on their privil eges. A little restraint placed upon our legislators won't hurt them, and perhaps it is better to have no prohibi tory statute. Some of those solons have not sowed thf ir wild oats as yet, and their frlskinesss leads them often into bad associations. The existence of a law agains blackmail might In duce ottiers, whose walk is now com paratively straight, to yield to the temptations which surround the in nocent and unsophisticated legislator, At lost the domestic infelicities which have been known to exist be tween ex-Senator Christinancy now minister in Peru and his wife, have culminated, ana we are promised a divorce suit as full of nauseating de tails as any in which the Prince of Wales ever figured as a witness or participator. Mrs. Christiancy re turned here sonme months since from Peru, and her husband's friends assert that her conduct has been quite re prehensible, though only in keeping with her actions for several years post not only in this country, but in Peru. He has applied for a leave of absence, and will return here to institute pro ceedings against her for divorce. She on the other hand, charges blm with extreme cruelty, and asserts her in nocence of crime. It is not at all likely that Mr. Christiancy will Invoke much sympathy for himself, no mat ter wnat nts witnesses may prove against her. She was a mere child when he married her, younger in years than some of his children, and beyond that, was destitute of any of the solidity of sensible womanhood She was regarded as volatile and frivolous, and could not fall to make the wedlock of such extreme disparity of ages and temperament an unhappy one, even if, as she Insists, her skirts are clear of unfaithfulness. The President has approved the bill allowing one, hundred additional pen slon clerks. Now ther is a prospect of some relief from the great delays of the Pension Office, and a hope that the business of the office, which is fully one year behindhand, will be brought up to a point where a pension claim has some show of being adjudl cated. As matters now go in that iin portant bureau, which Is so unfortuu ate as to have the poorest of ext utive neaas, a claimant nas little assurance that five years will see- the end of his case. A 100 more clerks will, of course expedite, to some extent. The epidemic of crime has lately wept over us, bringing a full portion Of suicide, murder, and outrage. The citizens of northwest K street were startled recently with the discovery of the dead bodies of Reilly, an Irish coachman, and his wife, in their room over the stable were be worked. N If na of violence, blood, struggle, hot ea, or other evidences of suicide, or of foul play, were to be found, and whether murder or suicide, the cflro ner's inquest has been unable to de termine,, though poison caused the deaths. The wife was seen to enter the stable in the evening somewhat nder the influence of liquor, but the family of the proprietor heard no noise or disturbance during the night. Tne couple bad lived happily to-1 gather, and were not pecuniarily em barrassed. As no one can assign a cause for suicide or for murder, the whole affair Is shrouded with a mys tery that apparently will never be re vealed. Reilly was for several yetrs the coachman of Lord Lyons, the ex- English Minister, and while with him married his wife, who was also one of the servants. Two young men. clerks In one of the Departments, went off on a runken carouse with a couple of cyprlans. On return, one of them shot himself through the head, though not fatally; the other took a bed at the brothel to which the woman be longed, and died within twenty-four hours. The weekly inevitable out rage case has a colored instead of white girl as the sufferer, bnt the ne gro committing the crime was as bru tal in his assault as the one in the last ease reported. A State Wanted. (Phil's Pros.) There was a good deal of curiosity on the part or the public to know the grounds on which Mr. Washburn, representative from the Third district of Minnesota, was to be unseated, and Mr. Ignatius Donnelly put in his place. An abstract of the report of the majority of the House Committee on Elections Is published in to-day's Pre. Numerous cases of bribery are mentioned, but without the testimony on which they are founded, no one can Judge as to whether they are worthy of consideration or not. Money is disbursed in every Concess ional district in the United States for campaign purposes. If the members of the committe who investigated this case were put on oath each of them would be obliged to confess that he pent from (1,000 to $10,000 to secure his election. Nevertheless, he would warmly deny that he had ever attempted to bribe a voter. Mr. Washburn's disbursements may have been entirely legitimate and proper. As for the pretense that voters were intimidated in the city of Minneapolis, it is simply ridiculous. Because there was a large falling off in the Demo cratic vote the Inference is drawn that the working-men were afritid to vote for Mr. Donnelly and did not vote at all. The majority of the committee vlrturally usks that the seat be awarded to Mr. Donnelly lie- cause 8,000 Democrats did not come to the polls. It never occurred to the committee that these missing Demo crats remained at home because they did not want to vote for the Green back candidate. Ignatius Donnelly was formerly a citizen of Pennsylva nia, and more than three thousand Democrats could be found iu the dis trict in which he resided who would not vote for him under any circum stances. Mr. Washburn was elected by 8,012 majority. Conceding ail that the committee oharge with regard to the polling of illegal votes, and throwing out all the votes alleged to have been illegal, or to have been procured by improper influences, and he still has a large majority left. It is impossible for the committee to measure the effect of the alleged intimidation; conse quently if there is any doubt as to the result a new election should be ordered. This is the first attempt that has been made to give effect to votes which were not cast since the Louisiana elec tion of 1874. It will be remembered that the Returning Board, iu canvass- ng the returns of that election, counted as ballots the affidavit of a number of voters whom the bulldo zers kept away from the polls. The Wheeler Investigating committee cen sured this action of the Returning Board, and the Democratic editors have been referring to it ever since as a piece of unparalleled villainy. The majority of the House committee now report in favor of counting the votes of alleged intimidated persons with out either the ballots or the affidavits, in fact, without undertaking to mention a single person who com plained of being afraid to vote. Every intelligent citizen of the United States knows why this contest was made aud why the majority of the House Committee on Election has reported in favor of the seating of Donnelly. Should the election of president be thrown into the House of Representatives the vote will be taken by States, each State casting one vote, and the ma jority of the Representatives from each State will determine how the I vote is to be cast. With Minnesota the Republicans have a majority of, the States and would elect the Repub t lican candidate for president. By securing Mr. Donnelly, the vote of Minnesota will be given to the Dem ocratic candidate. The He v. Gilbert De La Matyr, who holds the balance of power in the Indiana delegation, will then have the easting vote. The Democrats feel tolerable sure thet Mr. De La Matyr will not full them Having secured Florldy by excluding the legally elected Representative, all that yet remains to be done is to make' sure of Minnesota, and then the con tingency of an election of president by the House will he fully provided for.
