VAING UP T:E 61MANVM, tl #3he Bitterne Against BlRaIne--The Bad Managomerat of His Friends"+A Guess at o the Wist Ballot. a tLetter to the PMladedphi'a Times. ] s WASHINGTON, May 8.---Political cir- s hies here are more excited over the ro- v ports coming in frotn States that have M elected thelft' delegates to the Republi- g can National tonvention than at any t time since the canvas opened. Calcu- si lations of two weeks ago are not ex- C netly borne out by results and the iends of Mr. Blaine are the most con- v fused, while on the other hand the fol- v lowers of Arthur are considerably i elated over what they now claim enough votes to command the situation d st,flileintly, with the aid of the other t candidates, to wrench the prize from c Blaine. While the numerical strength t of Arthur will come principally from the South-that from other quarters 1 being more complimentary than real- 1' it is still claine that his supporters 9 will number enough to encourage the other candidates to make common cause with him to get rid of Blaine. This is just the condition of affairs the a enemies of Blaine have been waiting t for and what they now assert they were instrumental in producing in or der to effect their purpose. BTTERNESS AGAINST nLAINE. I ['here is no disputing the bitterness i against Blaine, anid sice the recent attacks on Edmunds it has been very largely intensified, particularly in New t England, even reaching into his own State, from where a delegation of men, heretofore his friends, will go to Chi cago to protest against his nomination. Rlepresentative Republicau of the same class will also go from Vernont, Mas sachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. These influences will be t independent of the regular delegates, u and it would be folly to say that they will exert no power in the choice of the convention. Ex-Congressman Harris, of Massa- & chusett.s, who was here lately, said that while a friend of Blaine he was in d rrave doubt whether lie could carry Massachusetts if nominated; but this c is not likely, as in such an emergency a Ben Butler would carry enough Demo- c i;rats to his support to save the State; e besides, the good sense of the Republi- b] can party would never permit such a disaster. BAD MANAGEMENT. uI As your readers know, the same o antagonisms have taken shape in New I York, with Pennsylvania and other States ready to follow suit when the Pa opportune moment arrives. Add all l this to the bungling management of his b friends, as illustrated in your State and then in Maryland and Iowa, and the i apprehensions for his nomination are deepening aid spreading every day, which nothing but the most skillful u generalship can change. Lamentable w as all this presents itself, it is still moreo so, when the tact is taken into consid. eration that some of the most active workers against Mr. Blaine to-day are made up of men who stood the brunt of his struggle at the two former con Ventions. 5 Of* course the great mass of the par'ty haive hiad 110 opportunity of lear'ning' the causes underlying this condition of8 affairs. They learni of him only as lie at appears in all the brilliancv andl mar-a velous power of his intelleet and in the wvonderful orignality of his coniceptioin 9 of public affairs. As he stands out be fore them even his enemies concede the beneficial p)ossibilities of' an adminiis-C tration under his guidance. The troui ble is simply in the man-that lie lacks that great essential to all true nobility of' character-fidelitv, and that for am bit ion's sake he would violate a pledge as readlily as lie wouldl make a new onie to serve it and then forget that there 2 wvas obligation involved in either. Such are the ways of p)olitics, and wvhat a sad commentary ther furniish on thme weak side of human~ nature. With sta proper' management, however, wvith m his forces skillfully miobilized and so W, held together for three or four ballots, Ci all this opposition wouldi be compelled to to yield. p TILE FIRsT nA LLOT.

MONTREAL' May 8.-The steamer itania arrived hero at 5 p. m. to-day. large number of persons had met at 1o wharf to witness the landing of to shipwrecked crew and passengers r the 'State of Florida." As soo 4 the Titania was moored to the wharf ie was boarded by the custom house lcers, American consul and repro 3ntatives of the press. Shortly after. rards the crew and. passengers of the 'recked steamer came ashore in charge f the agent of the Star Line, who had 3cured accommodations for them at to Albion Hote'. The first person en was J. D. Bennett, of London, hitarlo, the only first class passenger ived. At tlp time of the accident he ras in the surgoon's cabin and had a cry narrow escape from being killed, rhen the "Ponema" came crushing ito the "State of Florida" amidships. One man of the "Ponema" went mad rom exposure and want of water and ied in the boat before the captain and tvo other sailors were rescued. The aptaim of the "Florida" awakened the assengers and told them they must ike to the boat instantly; but it ap ears lie made no effort to devise l lan by which the passengers could et into the boats. At the time of the ollision the captain was in his cabin, [e rushed on the deck in his night ress and assumed command. When a boats pushed away from the ship nd the plunge preparat>ry to sinking )ok place the most heartrending cries nid appeals for help were heard until e final plunge was made. Bennett tw one boat hanging by one davit, le heard that it was not considered a %to boat, and that the ropes were cut i order to hinder any one from using Walter King, of Toronto, occupiee. l1 same cabin as Bennett, and when to ship was about going down, climc ) hii as said, "For God's sake Benl ott, stay by me. I am not able to vAm." King and Bennett got into no of the boats, the lashing of which erc cut at one end and threw all of 10 occup.ants into the sea. Thirty ersons might have been saved but for us mishap. Only seven were picked P[.all night. They could hear the eople groaning and struogling under. eath the boat to whic7i they were ingimg and as many of those on top id lost friends and brothers, their clia.s can be better imagined than 3scribed. Toward morning the noise ased and they came to the conclu on that their companions had sue imbed. When then they were res ted they broke through the bottom the boat with the oars and a horri e sight met their eyes. Eight bodies ere floating there, while a man named onaldson was still alive, althonoh iconscious from the effects of tYic ng imprisonment. Bennett says the nduct of the captain of the "City of ome" was shaneful, as that steamer ssed within half a mile from them i night easily have hove to for a ort time and taken them all off the irk. On being asked to explain why few passengers were saved, he said was all their own fault, when it is membered that within fifteen min es after the collision the steamer cut down. It will be seen that the suddenness the catastrophe prevented any being ved, except those who kept their its about them and leaped into the oats. Andrew N.

WASIHINOTON, May 8.-The recenl illness of Congressman Reagan, o Texas, who was Postmaster Genera of the Confederate government, sug gests soirno inquiries regarding the whereabouts of other members of the organization. Although the Confed erate government was but five yeare in existence, it had numeroug cabi nets. There were no loss that threc SEcretaries of State, five Secrotariei of War, two Secretaries of the Treas ury, and a third, Who was acting Secretary and three Attorneys-General. Of the Secretaries of State, Judah P Benjamin was, of course, the mosl celebrated. He became widely known in Europe. He made his fortune ii the practice of law in London. The stories which have reached here of his success in law in the greatest city ii the world are something wonderful. and the fortune which he accumulated in the twenty years since the war is r large one. lIe closed up his law busi. ness, however, having made money enough, and news just now comes that he died in Paris on the 7th Inst., i: the seventy-third year of his age. Gen. Robt. Toombs, who was an. other Secretary of State, still lives in Georgia, his old home. IIe is a wealthy old man, still as full of eccentricities as when, years aquo, he announced that he expected to cali his roll of slaves or Bunker Hill. lie has retired fron1 active pursuits of life, having an ample fortune, and has, as recently an. nounced, been baptized and become a member of the Methodist church, of which his wife, now deceased, was for years an honored member. His beau. tiful Southern home is surrounded by every comfort and luxury whictl wealth and a long and varied experi ence could supply. It. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, was another Secretary o State of the Confederacy. lie too, is still living in his old State. his post. office address is Lloyd's, Essex county, Virginia. IIe is in bad health, and an old and very broken man. The Secretaries of War have not escaped the scythe of the grim reapei as successfully as have the Secretaries of State, three out of four of theni being dead. George W. Rudolph, of Virginia, who was Secretary of War in 1862; J. A. Seddon, also of Vir ginia, who was Secretary of War in 1863, and J. S. Breckenridge, who suc ceeded him in 1865 all are dead. L. Pope Walker, of Alabama, the firsi Secretary of War, is still living in his old State. His home is at Huntsville, where he practices his profession that of a lawyer--very successfully, IIe has just become prominently be. fore the public in the trial of the Jessc James cases in that State; but lie has always been prominent in Alabama as a lawyer and an honored citizen. John A. Campbell, who was for a consider able time acting Secretary of War, is now a resident of Baltimore. Mr. Campbell was a judge in the Supreme Court at the breaking out of the war, but resigned because of his symp_athy with the rebellion aiid coiinected him self actively with that cause. iIe r'epre'sentedl the Comfederacy at the notedl conference between President Lincoi and the mnemb ers of the Con federate government at Foirtress Moni r'oe duing the war, and wvas active as an otlicial and( aii adviser of that gov erienit dur'ing the entire 1)eriod of' its existenice. Though in his seveiitv third year, lie is still an active citizei, and( highly hionored for his integrity. There were hut two Secretaries of thme Treasury -C. G. Memuminger, of South Carolina, and George A. Tren holm. Mr. Memmiinger still lives in his old State, and practices law at his home ini Charleston. G. A. Trenholm, who succeededh Meimminger in 1864, is dleadl. Judge Reagan was also acting Secretary of thme Tireasury for a short time. Thongh the Confederacy had niot much of a navy, it had a navy depart ment. S. Rt. Mallory, of Florida, was lie Secretary of tihe Navy. IIe died several year's ago. The law department of' the Confed eracy, or the Attorney-General's office, had three incumbents during time ex isience of that organizationi: Thomas lIragg, or North Carolina; Thomas II. Watts, of Alabama; and George E. Davis, of North Carolina. Mr. WVatts still lives in his old State, holding his residence at Montgomery, and is a successful and p)rominent lawyer of thant cit.y. Mr'. Davis continues a resi donit of' his own State--North Carolina -livimg at Wilnington, where lie prac tices law and talks about (old war times wvithi his friends, who gather about him. le was a great admirer of Gen,. Lee, and( entertained that gentleman on his last visit to North Carolina. The postoflce dlepar'tment was pre sidedl over by one muan from the begin ning to thme end of' the Confederacy, and that mani was John II.

WASHINGTON, May 9,-The report of eu a the Senate committee on privileges and of , elections in relation to the oa a branch of the investigations which th that committee has been makin , bear- th lug the bdgnatures of the five Iepubli- be can menmbers of the committee, was ha laid before the Senate on Tuesday. The Democratic members of the com . mtttee will make a minority report. t;U From the facts presented to thom the yl majority conclude that a cons)iracy, " I organized by representative young e 1 Democrats with the countenance of 3 that party in Copiah, was entered into to drive their opponents from the - polls. To that end the mob was gath 1 ered, systematic outrages perpetrated, ending in murder, one of the victims being a wealthy and generally respect ed white man. During the whole time that these offenses were going on r the Democratic State and county of- I ficers remained passive, and thus al lowed the election to be turied into a a 1 mockery. In conclusion the committee say: a "No legislation dealing with Missis- } sippi alone should be enacted without ;; an investigation which should cover w, all parts of the State. Before such o 1 investigation a national election will rc have taken place, at which the temper f' and respect for law of the people of B. Mississippi will undoubtedly be iade fully manifest. It is asked sometimes with a tone of exultation and defiance what remedy we can propose for these things. Unquestionably, so long as A any considerable political party shall deem it for its interest to countenance such crimes the remedy will be attend ed with difficulty. but they little N I understand the spirit of the age, the P temper of the American people or the ox power of education and freedom, who O believe that these things can long on dure when held held up to the day- o light. The communitics that perpe- wI trate them cannot long withstand the ell abhorrence and indignation of the country." The committee recommend the pub- ui lication, for the use of American 1co- vu ple, of the testimony they have taken. ar lhey further recommend the passage of Senate bill No. 15, which, is de signed to furnish a remedy for some of the evils which are disclosed. T1'hev P further recommend that after the next Tr; election in Mississippi unless the same : r co - shall be unquestionably fair and free, C there shall be a full investigation of the condition of things in that State i( with a view to determining the ques- do tion whether republican government exists there, and whether it is entitled to its existing representation or has forfeited it in whole or in part by rea son of the denial or infringment of the right to vote of any portion of its 1 people. The question of submitting wi to the Senate further legislation and of anl the necessity of conferring new powers t" on Congress by an amendment to the ' constitution to afford further protec tion to the rights of the majority of the voters of Mississippi the committee reserve for further consideration.
