Special to the Post-Dispatch. HARRISBURG, PA., February 4.—The third term Grant boom has received a damaging, and it may be death blow, in the home of its friends, or rather the inner temple of Cam- eronism and political corruption. Last night the opposition to Grant, which has been growing like wiidtire in Pennsylvania recently, but which 1t was thought Don Cam- eron would be able effectually to stamp out in this, bis home, blazed up ina CAUCUS OF THE ANTI-GRANT DELEGATES. As Blaine was the only other candidate with any following, the opposition railed around bim, although the Grant people tried to create the impressivn that the Maine Senacor did not wish to be placed in antagonism to Cdmeron in his own home and State. Tne result was that Inthe caucus the Blaine men poiled 110 votes to 123 forthe Grant programme. is claimed, was falsely counted, the real re- sult being 117 forthe Blaine people and 115 for Grant. There are 251 delegates to the convention and the fight will be renewea to- day. CAMERON IS BENDING FVERY EFFORT to break up the opposition, but under the leadership of ex-Congressman Lawrence. Edward M. McPherson, ofthe Philadeiphia Press, and the Hon. Charles Wolfe, the man who in the last Legislature exposed the bribery if connection with the Pittsburg riot damage bili, they are standing firm and will make a gallant fight. It is conceded already that the effect of their opposition has been to destroy Grant’s chances, and it is believed that Cameron is oniy fighting now to retain his grip upon the party organization THE CONVENTION MET at noon, but notning of a positive kind can be done for several hours, as the temporary or- gabpization has to be gotten rid of. PROBABLE DELEGATES, Mec Manes, the dictator of the party in Phila- delphia and aluke-warm Grant man, will be one of the delegates at large, without a seri- ous contest. Gen. Bingham,Blaine’s spokes- man, is urged as another delegate at large, and his success is probable. It is conceded by Cam- eron that Blaise is entitled to have half the delegates ai large taken from the list of bis known friends. Editor McPberson has been spoken of ss one of them, but the Phila- delphia delegation refuse to entertain the proposition. Ali the delegates elected by the people in the several Congressional districts will be accepted and ratified by the Conven- tion. NO RULE RING. There are strong indications, however, that the rule of the machine wil! not be sub- mitted to by ali factions of the party. Some of the leading men of Philadelphia have is- sued an address to the deiegates tothe con- vention at Harrisburg, in which the forma- tion of an independent party in this State, like that in New York, is foreshadowed un- der certain contingencies. The signers of the address say: We have no candidate to sug- gest, nor do we deem it pertinent to specify by name any whom we might be compelled to reject. Weswy briefly, tiatthe number of Republicans is very large who cannot be re- jied upon to support, onthe one hand, one whose candidacy would Violate the tradition which bas become part of the unwritten law of the nation; nor, on the other, one who regards the skiilful use of patronage for personal ends as the highest function of a etatesman; nor one whose past inability to resist temptation would put his supporters on the defensive througnout the campaign; nor one whose per- sonal ambition may lead him to regard the public service as a mere instrumental- ity for furthering his own ends, and whose convictions are but expressions of tem- porary politi cal expedieney.’’ These clauses are sup posed to be aimed severally at Grant, Sherman, Blaine ana Conkling, and Wash- bu rne is therefore supposed to be the choice of the Philadelphia independents. The ad- dress is signed Henry C. Lea, Wayne Mac- Veagh and175 others, all men of character and standing in the community. BLAINE DELEGATES. Sixty delegates have come positively in- structed for Blaine, and thirty-five are from conventions that passed resolutions favorable to Blaine, but refused to instruct. THE PHILADELPHIA DELEGATION. It is said that forty-five of the forty-six Philadelphia delegates will support Cameron. Thou eh composed exclusive!y of men op- posed to Grant, and representing a city said to be entirely opposed to the third term, the del- egutlo n was won over by the artful persua- sions of Cameron, who appealed to them on personal.grounds, and said a failure to carry the State for Grant would be a persona) m ortification for him and a triumph for his enemies. These able arguments prevailed, and Philadelphia is now understood to be un- d er the Cameronian thumb. Allegheny county instructed her eight een delegates for Grant, and Dauphin county, in which Harrisburg is situated, instructed four delegates the same way. SPECULATIONS. It is now believed that nearly or quite 100 votes will be cast against instructions for Grant, and all admit that so strong a minority would be fatal to Grant’s candidacy. It is generally understood that Blaine will be Sena- tor Cameron’s eboice for President after Grant, unless he shal! be precipitated into an- tagenism with Blaine’s friends. Gen.

Latest—2:30 p. m. HARRISBURG, PA., February 4.— The State Convention was promptly called to order at 12 noon, with” Cameron holding his own well in hand, but the Blaine peo- ple sullen and defiant. Col. Hooten of the State Committee, a creature of Camer- on’s, opened the proceedings by making a de- cision which deprived many Blaine men of an opportunity to vote, that none but the names of those delegates appearing on the roll should be allowed to vote for temporary of- ficers. ADVANTAGE EOR THE GRANT MEN. As a large number of. Blaine men had their beats contested, andthe names of Cameron delegates substituted, this grve the Grant people an advantage from the start. The re- sult was that Congressman Russell, Errett Cameron’s fugleman from Allegheny county, was elected témporary chsirman by a vote of 182 to 93. This was the first blood for Grant, and it was followed up by constituting all the committees in his interest. The convention has now TAKEN A RECESS. On reassembling the Grant programme will be pushed through, but im the face of an op- position which will show that Grant is not the choice of Pennsylvania Republicanns by a large majority. The Convention Qrganized. By Western Associated l’ress. HARRISBURG, Pa., February 4.—The Re- publican State Convention net in the Opera- house at noon, and was called to order by Chairman Hooten, of the State Central Com- mittee. S. H. Miller, of Mercer, moved that Russell Errett be appointed temporary chairman. General Albright moved to substitute the name of Geo. V. Lawrence. : A vote was taken and resulted in Errett 158, Lawrence 92, a victory for the Grant people. : It was decided that a committee of one from each Senatorial District be appointed on resolutions,and committees on contesied seats and permanent organization were also ap- pointed. . John Cessna offered a resolution thata committee of nine be appointed to report, subject to thé approvat of the convention a list of delegates, with their alternates, to the Chicago Convention aud a listof electors after consuliing, with the delegations from the various districts. Stewart, of Franklin, offered an amend- ment, as iolluws: Resolved, That a committee of one, from eacu Congressional District, be appoiuted, whose duty it will be to report to the conven- tion tne names of four delegates at large to the National Convention, and two electors at large; that it will be the duty of the committee to report also a list of district dclegates to the Nadlonel Convention, who are to be chosen by delegatos from the respective distriets, including in their report the name of those persons who have already been chosen as del- evates from their respective districts by the action of the people thereof. Bota of these resolutions, however. were Withdraws, and the convention took a recess for one hour. Threats of the Cameron and Blaine Men. New York, February 4.—A special to the Evening Post from Harrisburg says: Senator Cameron was about the hotel all night endeay- oring to arrange a compromise, but his ef- fort bas been of no avail except in a few individual cases. Cameron insists on carrying outhis original plan of instructing the delegatioh to vote as a unit, and to vote for Grant. Through his lieutenants this morning Cameron frecly makes the threat that if the Blaine men go on with their fight in the convention, not a Blaise man will be allowed in the Chicago delegation. The Blaine folks make 4 counter threat, that in that event they will go back to their districts aud elect deiegates by a popular vote of the party and appeal directly to the Chi- eago convention for recognition. They say this would destroy the moral force of the Cameron packed delegation. FOREIGN NEWS. 1 Great Britain. LONDON, February 4.—At a meeting of Lib- erals in Liverpool, who support the candi- dature of Lord Ramsay for the House of Commons, a letter was read from Gladstone violently attacking the Government. A letter was also read from Lord Hartington, Liberal leader of the House, stating that though he could not have given promises to Home Rulers similar to those given by Lord Ramsay, yet the latter had the warmest support of Liberal leaders.

Some definite de- cision concerning the retention of his post in Berlin may be expected in a few days. Paris, February 4.—It is expected Dr. Paul Broca will be elected life Senator by a major- ity of nine, in place of Coant de Montalivet, deceased. By arailway collision at Argenteuil, De- partment of Seine et Oise, seven persons were killed and twenty wounded. Russia. ; Sr. PETERSBURG, February 4.—The Golos publishes an article on the recent letter of Count Von Moltke, in reply to a correspond- ent who requested him to use his influence with the Emperor for the reduction of the army, in which the Count suggested~ that nations must be educated in the belief that even Victorious war is national misfortune and by 1mplication justified the proposed in- crease in the German army. The article says Russia can not remain inactive in face of the armaments of the rest of Europe, but will also increase her army. —— Bodies Washed Ashore.

DUBLIN, January 4.—The Mansion House Irish Relief Fuod Committee publishes ex- tracts of letters received from Catholie Arch- bishops, testifying to the efticiency of the committee and the impartiality which char- acterizes ths distribution of funds. WASHINGTON. Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASAINGTON, February 4.—The counseis’ briefs in the Kellogg-Spofford case will be submitted to the Seaate Elections Committee next Monday and the committee will report its findings to the Senate week after next. The majority report is signed by every Democrat and will recommend the seating of spofford. The Republicans will submit a minority report in favor of Kellogg. Ben Hill says Kellogg's record is proven to be so black by the invesii- gation that, when the facts are laid before the Senate, the Republicans will not bave the hardihocd to defend him. THE CENSUS. Senators Pendleton, Morgan and Kernan, of the Census Committee, favor the Democrats making a stiff fight for their share of census supervisors. They urge that the Senaté reject the nominations till it forces the President to concede what the Democrats’ demand. Several Democratic Senators object to this plan and say it would revive the cry of revolution against the Demo- cracts. It is certain though that one-third of the present n minations for supervisors wil) be rejected as unfit Senators. HOT SPRINGS, McDonald has been given the papers charg- ing the Hot Springs commissioners with hav- ing accepted bribes, and in other crooked ways made money out of their po- sitions. Proof is submitted of these charges, and papers will go before Congress for investigation.

THE DUTY ON STEEL. Jas. F. Wilson, formerly Representative from Iowa, made an argument to-day before the Committee on Ways and Means in favor of the proposed bill to :educe the duty on steel rails from $28 to $10 per ton. THE STAR ROUTE. The investigation of the Star Route Service was continued to-day. John A. Walsh, the present contractor on the Santa Fand Pres- cott Route, gave some spicy testi- mony. It was a popular fallacy there was a bonanza in every Star route con- tract. He was led to believe by former hold- ers of his contract there was good profit in it at the original figures, and though he lost heavily at first, it became a matter of pride with him to hold on to the contract. He proposed to wrestle with it and hoped at the present figure, 5135, 000 per annum to save his fleece, though the compensation ought to be $200,000. - — FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. Senate. WASHINGTON, February 4.—Mr. Slater, froin the Committee on Indian Affairs, re- sorted a bill directing the Secretary of the Taterior to negotiute with the Umatilla, Warm Spring and certain other tribes of In- dians occupying the reservations in Oregon, for the extinguishment of tneir titles to the lands now vccupied by them; for their re- moval to other lands or reservations without the limits of Oregon. Printed and recom- mitted. Mr. Saunders, from the Committee on In- dian Affairs, reported a substitute for the vill to provide for the sale of the reservation of the confederated Otoe and Missouri Indi- ans. Placed onthe calendar.

Adopted. Mr. Johnson submitted a resolution that there be printed for the use of Congress 1,000 eopies of the trausactions of the Virginia Companies of London. Adopted. The Senate then took up the Senate bill for the relief of Eaward Braden and J. W.

Fighting with Mud and Water. Edward Stack was before Judge Dennison this morning charged with disturbing the peace. Onthe night of the 16th of January Stack was in front of Joseph English’s resi- dence, 1209 North Seventh street, in company with two or three others. They were talking loudly and disturbed Eag lish.

On the assembling of the United States Cir- cuit Court, this morning, Hon. J. W. Noble presented the resolutions of the St. Louis Bar Association on the death of Judge Reber. Mr. N« ble made a few remaiks in presenting the resoiutions touching the character and per- sonal characteristics of the deceased. In con- cluding bis remarks he asked that the reso- lutions be spread upoa the records of the court. Judge Treat, in a feeling manner, replied to the address of Mr. Noble, and gave the neces- sary order concernin~ the rvsoiutions. The court appointed Van L. Rungan a commissioner to take depositionss at Hot Springs, Arkansas, in the case of J. H. Zeilen versus J. G. Webb. Le.ve was granted to file an amended an- swer in the case of H. 8.

Mrs. March Again. Rumors have been flying about the city for the last few days to the effeet that several very influential gentlemen had united in anew ef- fort to secure a pardon for Mrs. March, the unfortunate woman whoisimmured in the jail for her connection with Samuel March- bank. A reporter called upon Mrs. March to-day and questioned her about the matter, but she said that she knew no- ching about the report, and that, if any effort of the kind was being made, she had not been advised about it. She stated that she was not very eanguine about a pardon, and that she rather expected to serve out the fullterm of her sentence. Confine- ment is beginning to tell upon her, and she is not looking as well as she did some time ago. A Meeting of Merchants.
