This feeling -ig confined mostly to the delegates opposed to Blaine ; "bat there are a number of Blaine adherents who express dissatisfaction at the choice of the National Committe. So .intense indeed is the feeling on the subject t?at a plan is on foot to attempt to defeat Clayton in the Convention and elect Hon. B. -K. Brace, (colored) Register of the United States Treasury, in his stead. The feeling in some quarters is exceedingly bitter, and that a strong effort -will be made to compass uiay- j ton's defeat seems very likely. . THE AETHUIi MEX TO STICK. The Arthur men have determined to stand firmly by their candidate to the last and will make no combinations looking to the selection of any other man. They say this is their firm purpose, and if the Edmonds men and others wish to nominate Blaine by re.w-?fusing to support Arthur they must take the responsibility. SfiCGtNG FOE- SHES5TAF.

The working body of the Convention, the greatest in point of immbets <9# any national political asr 8emdalager occupied only a small porfioa o? the vast auditorium. The nail is. the latest and has been termed the most complete ever thrown open for the Trork of a vast deliberative body. It j is in one sense temporary, having been constructed within the walls of the Exposition biding, situated on the ' cast line of the city on the shores of lN Lake Michigan. Its capacity approx. v imates 1^000; - The Scjaokers desk rest? on a nlaU PM?iOiW" wwBw icc?-a&oro the-seats--of the delegates and the press occupies an intermediate space midway in 1 ->ight or about on a level with the heads of the delegates as they occupy their chairs, the backs of the chairs ranged in a semi-circle, and on the level space are seated the remaining officers of the Convention, the members of the national committee and their immediate friends. Back of this circle, on a sharply rising incline, arc 1,000 seats occupied by a great many persons ol national repute* whose presence is by the grace of the national committeemen. Swinging over the desk of the chairman andfairly tonchin^ the arches is a wide-spreading sounding board* embracing ihc side extremes of the building. The delegates and alternates occupy .a.deadieyel bpace bounded by square lines. They are hemmed in on two sides by tiers of boxes occupied mainly by guests of the delegates. The section of the hall occupied by the working body 01 the Convention is broken by four wide aisles, from the edges of whiebrise Roman standards pendant with bine silk banners imprinted in gold with tbe motto of tbe Mates and Territories. Beginning on tbe left facing the stage is the State of . Alabama, and back through the first tier of seats follows Kansas, California, Connecticut, and down through the Snepf States in alphabetical tnrn to Maine; Beginning again on the right and rear is Maryland, with Massachusetts immediately in her front V and ending with the District of Columbia in the front row of the second tier. New York occupies the front rank and Ohio holds the ranking position in the fourth and remaining tier. Back of the delegates is a similar spacc occupied by the alternates and separated; from the main body by a hardly perceptible partition. * In* the rear of-we alternates is a commodious seating^ space, the chairs rosting on aa .easyincline and cut off from the space*?? cupied by the alternates by a linecf: pickets... Beginning at a point one hundred feet in the rear of the alternates is another dividing wall, and from tbat point rise tier cpoa tier of seats to a point almost midway between the hall and the apex of the dome-like '-oof. Huge and narrow galleries ran along the cast and west sides of the hall its entire leBgth and seemingly suspended in mid-air. The front of this gallery is faced with the coats-ofcarms of the States on a back .ground of festooned flags. Fluttering from the arches are the national colors and the flags of all - -- nations. Before .10 o'clock the main auditorium began to be sprinkled with early comers, and when the band, located in the extreme southern part of the. building, burst forth with a martial: strain the stream of arrivals became steady and increasing, until the scene i from the Speaker's platform was that of an unbroken, undulating sea of faces, relieved by the rich colors of the toilettes of the ladies, who were present in force. THE OPENING CEREMONIES. At 12.24 the Chair announced that \ the hour having arrived for the meet mg of the eighth Republican .National Convention, the Convention would now be opened by prayer, which was offered by the Rev. Frank Bristol, of Chicago." At the conclusion of the prayer the call for the Convention was read by J. A. Martin, secretary of the national committee. Chairman Sabine, on behalf of the Republican committee, called the Convention to order in its name, in a brief speech, closing with an expression of hope for victory and proposed for temporary chairmanHon. Powell Clayton, of Arkansas. TEHFCSAKr ORGANIZATION. At the conclusion of the Chairman's . remarks, nominating Clayton, Henry Caboi Lodge, of Massachusetts pro posed the name of John li. Lynch j (colored), of Mississippi. Quite a j sensation was made by the speech of 1 Morrow, of California, who protested against a departure from the custom which gave the selection of the temporary chairman to the National Committee. After farther debate the roll was called, when it was announced that Lynch had 431 votes and was elected fpmnnnrr nhfiirman. A scene of the wildest confusion ensued. Delegates rose in ther seats, cheered, swung their hats and shouted. The spectators joined in the demonstration. The vote was then made unanimous. The Chairman appointed Clayton, of Arkansas, Lodge, of Massachusetts, and W. N. Taft, of South Carolina, the committee to cscort Lynch to the chair. As the committee appeared the ort/? f -TOAITnr.-* r?f a^piuu^V/ \vu3 iicu-i i? iiiv v/*. disappointment seemed to disappear. Lynch made a good impression by his quiet and modest manner. The Chairman said he had the honor and great pleasure of presenting to the Convention as its temporary Chairman Hon. John R. Lynch, of Mississippi. [Ciieers.j Lynch made the customary speech, thanking the Convention for the honor conferred, etc. ADJOURNMENT FOB THE DAY. The Chairmen of the delegations then +KA ?on-Ar? Ap fKo i&lJaKJUJllsUll tut; iiuixito \JX (.XXV ov/ng selected to serve 011 the various committees of the Convention. Several memorials and resolutions were presented and appropriately referred, after which the Convention at 4.45 p. m. adjourned until 11 o'clock to-morrow. After a careful study of the vote on the question of temporary chairman, it does not appear to have "been really a test of strength, as some of the delegates voted for Clayton, with a view of sustaining the action of the National Committee, leaving other questions to be decided later, while others voted T.vneh t vimv fn if5 pflfcnf nil the colored vote. The Blaine and Logan men after the vote estimated. that they had greater strength than they had before supposed, while the adherents of the Independents and of the dark horses seemed to feel satisfied with the position which they held between the main contending forces. SECOND DAY. Chicago, June 4.?At a late hour last night, after considerable earnest talk among the Blaine delegates from Missouri and Michigan upon the advisability of bringing out Gen. Sherman as a candidate as the only solution of the present situation in* the Convention, it was urged that Gen. Sherman would not permit the use of his name nt thf> nomination under anv circumstances. In obedience to the wishes of a majority of these delegates John B. Henderson sent an earnest telegram to Gen. Sherman urging him to accept and reqnesting him to send them au answer this morning. General Sherman telegraphed exSenator Henderson saying that he would not accept the nomination or serve if elected. A BID yon A PROHIBITION PLANE. It was something after 11 o'clock when the Convention was called to order. Prayer was offered by Kev. Dr. John II."Barnes, of the First Presbyterian Church. "James A. Gary, of Maryland, presented a memorial and asked that it be read. It was from the President and Secretary of the State Temperance Alliance of that State, embodying resolutions passed by that body May 6th last, appealing to the Convention of the Republican and Democratic parties to embody a clause in their platforms to nominate candidates in accord therewith, and saiyng that if neither recognized this principle the memorialists would vote for neither, and that if one of them did so then the ballots of the Alliance would be cast for the candidate of tkat party. Massey, of Delewure, offered a reso* i?? " iL.i. x i? x - n iuuon suggesting uuu iuo term ox uie President be increased to six years. Referred. Hawkins, of Tennessee, offered a resolution pledging delegates to support the nominee of the" Convention whoever it may be. After some discussion, the resolution was withdrawn by the mover.

Henderson, of Missouri, for permanent Chairman and would request the Secretary to read the list of Vice-Presidents and Secretaries. Chas "\V. Clisbee, of Michigan, was selected as perwane?. Secretary. The report was agreed to. The Chair appointed Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, George A. Hoar, of Massachusetts, and George B. Williams, of Indiana, the committee to conduct the permanent Chairman to the platform. Gen.- Iieuderson was received with cheers. "When .he applause subsided Henderson delivered a speech thanking the Convention for the: honor conferred upon, him, and I congratulating the Republican party upon~ the bright prospects' before it.

What General Sherman says: St. "Lorrs. .Tnnn />.?fJ-ftiifiml Shf?r man was seen at Ms residence yesterday and asked about his acceptance of the nomination by the Chicago Convention, about, ihc rumored telegram to John B. Henderson. "I sent no telegram to Chicago," ho said; "but three days ago I mailed a letter to General "Henderson. He telegraphed me last night, and I presume "my letter reache'1 him to-day, and I am glad it got there." "You would not accept then, the unanimous nomination?''* "So, I would not."

Chicago, June 5.?The Convention was called to order at 11.54 a. in. and was opened with prayer by Bishop Fallows, of the Reformed Episcopal J Uhurch. The report of the Committee on Credentials was then read by Mr. Fori, of New Jersey. It was* to the elfoct that the sitting members in all con zested cases are entitled to their seats except in the case of the Nineteenth District of New York and the Fifth District of Kentucky, where both delegates and contestants are admitted io cast half a vote each. In the Virginia case the committee found tin aiiimously that the delegation headed by Senator Mahone was entitled lo seats. The report was adopted without discussion. The Committee on Kales submitted a majority and a minority report. The majority report refers mainly to the procedure of the party, and contains nothing of interest to the general public. Mr. Bishop, of Massachusetts, on behalf of the minority of the committee reported a rule that each State shall be entitled to four delegates at large and one additional delegate for each Repfrni' \ tltnf noTaimm. i tcVL-i ? tvajf uiuu uuvu AUI ^ tory and the District of Columbia shall be eutitled to two delegates; that each Congressional District shall be entitled to one delegate and one additional delegate for every 10,000 majority votes or fraction thereof cast for tlie Republican Presidential electoral ticet at the last proceeding Presidential election; and that the Republican National Committee shall within a year after each Presidential election certify the representation to which each State is entitled. A ?**? Tliahan withdrew the report, saying that it was evident that a majority "of the Convention were opposed to* the amendment suggested. TIIK PLATFORM OF 1884.

New York, June ?.?The New York Times, Republican, says editorially to-dav that "it will not support Mr. Blaine for the Presidency,' and that it will advise no man to vote for him." ' . < The Herald savs: "The Republicans will be very sorry before November for their fearful blunder in nominating' Blaine. As Blaine certainly had to be nominate*??justfas the old maid married her persistent suitor, 'to get rid of him'?it is as well that the'republican party has chosen }to indnlge in this piec of eccentricity in a year in which its nomination is to be 'an empty honor.' Blaine's words to this effect may be now regarded as prophetic; He"thought before'he was nominated that the democracy -was pretty sure to win this time. His nomination has removed any uncertainty there might be on that point." It advises the Democrata to nominate Tilden or Cleveand to insure success. The Sun warns the Democracy that it will be no holiday task to defe'at the Republican ticket. * It says: "Every advantage they gain will have to be fonghtforin tremendous earnest." The . World says: - '-'The nominations present an (extraordinary combination of corruption, but, that however bad Tllomft'e mnntoliAn ?o Viio character is really better than that of eitiier Grant. Kayes or Garfield, and that "Democratic "prudence and unity alone will lead to Blaise's defeat. It deems the ticket an alarming one. The Tribune says that James G. Blaine has been nominated by the people and will be elected by the people, and that for a quarter of a century no other candidate has been more clearly preferred by the voters.

Notwithstanding their appeals the Evangelists are disposed to devote the next few seasons to America. i a POLITICAL PRAYER. A Northern Clergyman Invokes God'e Blessing on the Republican Party. The Rev. Dr. Barrows's prayer at the opening of the National Republican Convention at Chicago is certainly one of the most splendid specimens of saintly impudence 011 record.

A striking article in the AprilCentury, by Walter B. Hill, on "Uncle Tom without a Cabin," opens with the following reminiscences of slavery days: "In the last year of his life General 'Light Horse Harry' Lee made a visit to Dungeness, the residence of General Nathaniel Greene, on Cumberland Island, Georgia. While there he was attacked with a sickness which in ! the end proved fatal. His nurae was an. old negro woman, the 'momma1 of V.o linnciinftlil Ann (?nir in <1 nltrnv. J ? I yam of nervous pain, he became enraged at her ofScious benevolence and threw a slipper at the old woman's head. There was a skillfnl dodge of the red bandanna, and then she aeliberateiy picked up the slipper and hurled it back at him, with tac words, 'Dah, now! I ain't swine to let no white chile sass me; I aint' "This incident, which is historic, illustrates the position of the 'momma' or 'mammy1 in a Southern family in the olden time. She had rocked the cracue 01 acr yuuugiu:i5u;i ?iuu uuuui;u him to sleep with those weird melodies which are unsurpassed in the Mother Goose lore of any land. As he grew to manhood he was still her 'chile,' and she becamo, in turn, a grandmother in affection to the children of his household. In family affairs, in determining the components of a cake, the pattern of a gatment, or some nice question of a neighbor's social status, she wielded that potent wand, 'the wis% * A. S J ? 4. . J aom 01 ancestors,. ana quoieu -tuu marster' and 'ole missus' with oracular confidence, inspired by the Impossibility of contradiction. Jealous was she; for the honor of 'our family.1 The authority thus assumed was always good-naturedly acquiesced in; and, when ignored, was bverraled indirectly,' so as not to shake the old soul's self-confidence in her infallibility or the children's veneration for her wisdom. The latter was a .conservative influence too valuable to be sacrificed. "Very similar was the position of the 'old uncle.' Even the harsh overseer, dressed in a little brief authority, took counsel' of his weather wisdom and his 'sperence' in planting to suit the moon. Over the dwellers in the quarters he was wont to take a patriarchal jurisdiction. The children, white and black, revered him not only for the stories of Brer Fox and Brer Rabbit, which a later Uncle Remus has told to all the world, but for the unexhausted stores 01 similar lore wmcn remained locked in his venerable bosom. He always impressed the pickaninnies with the fact that he only told half he knew. No grandsire ever had a more eager audience for his garrulity. ...

At one time it was prosperous, and Burmese chcroots_found a ready i sale all over India, J3ut tno nauves grew careless, and the quality fell off | so greatly that nearly all the tobacco j now used in the manufacture of Bur- j xnese cheroots is imported from Madras and Bengal. The Calcutta Englishman shows that pie keen trading instinct of the Bunnese is sensible of the loss consequent upon this state of things. A short time ago an experimental tobacco farm was established ~~ao a. school where the natives might learn how to produce the best -quali ties, and so readily did- iuxn tilAopportunity to account that some 600 landholders have already embarked in the business They were greatly encouraged to do so by making the discovery that land which gives only very poor crops of rice is the very best for tobacco. Another experimental farm ! is now established on Maubin Island, j and there, too, the native farmers are proving themselves apt students, while ; at Paletwa, in Arakan, an Englishman from Coconada has established a most rvr/vmieSrior T>]s.ntftt,iftn. Samnles of the I produce of the various localities have been forwarded to both London and Paris; for the judgments of experts, and, should the opinion be favorable, tobacco' cultivation will probably again : become a leading1 Burmese industry. The people themselves consume an . immense quantity,, being inveterate smokers,, and'thus demand and supply would be on the spot together. ?^ i mi In the Lime Kiln. Club.
