TAMMANY'S CHIEF. WHAT JOHV KJEXXY MTIABOVT POLITICAL SITUATION. TawHMUijr'i VIvm on the Twrlff iMttr-Joha'i CojlA- | 4?ww In PtmiWMU Bmmni Nkw Yoke, April 99.?Tammany Wilt send 460 representatives to the Democratic convention at Chicago. "We propose," said Mr. John Kelly, good naturcdly, "to do onr part in koeptug up the enthusiasm." "For any particular candidate?" was inked. ' ??Well, now, to toll the (rath, I have1 not yet paid much attention to candi date*. I am sorry to aay that'some folks think Tammany la going to (be 1 cot?voutlon to make trouble. Snob U ! not the oaae. Tbe oonvontion will bo harinontou*, and whoever the candi date may be,'It is certain that he will receive the support of the united De InwuKf^. "And do you say (hat without reservation as to any prominent Demo crats?" "1 do. mofct omphatleaallv. Taint manv will support anv candidate wbo receives tho nomination of the Dem ocratic National Convention." "How about Mr. Tilden?" "I do not care to discuss him at present. I kuow that there are many who want him to be nominated, hnt I understand that he does not wish the nomination. That la settled. So far as Mr. Tliden's intellect Is couoernod, I believe him to bo strong, but I fear that be oould not bear tbe physicaf strain of a protracted canvass or endure the fatigues of olBoe." 41 You think that the caudidato should havo robust, physical health?" "Yes. As bo is. in mv opinion, oertalu to be olooted, he tpght to have the physical ability to attend to the duties of his offloo personally. It i would not do to have a man who i would be obliged to depend upon others. But* as I said, Tamuiauy will support the nominee. We want tl?e oonvontion to decide that question after a foil discussion, and have no doubt that the boat man will bo nom inated. Our suooeas Will depend on tho man who will be moat popular with Democratic voters." "How about (he platform?" _ "Oh, I am personally In favor of the Tammany platform, the substance of which Is the oolfeotlon of oustoms duties solely for the purpose of carry ing on tto government, and with no uiuoat discriminations. Tbe Demo oratic idea of a tariff la to make such reduottoiy as are nnoessary to keep the Income of the government down to the -. amount required for legitimate expenses; that these redactions should hesmadoso aa to benefit tbe masses of tho people and lessen the prices of things used by Then wbo work for wages. But there will be no call for theoretical 'and extreme notions of free trade in our platform.w "As tto the Republicans, do you think thoy? will foroe a sharp fight on ft?e W 1,068 0f ProtooUon 1111(1 ? "NOjl I do not. The Republicans dare not forco a fight or that kind. There are elementsln their own party that will prevent It." "You think, then, that the national platforms will be in some measure similar on the subject of tariff, aa they have been heretofore?" ' "It looks that way now." * that popular opinions aa to the Demodratlo position on tho 8|"??u"lMt Pre "Yes. I think that (he men who work for wages have found out that wo do not Intend to cut dowu tl?oir wages. * A very strong elemont in the Democratic defeat last time was the soare the Republicans got np araonr the workiugmen at tho last mome* f*o*r, whenever we have a chance to talk to the people, we have no trouble In convincing them that we are not seeking any radical measures which would disorganize business or cul do^n (heir wages. We are simply in ihvor Of keeping down the public revenue to proper bounds. We pro pose nothing revolutionary." internal revenue, would Tern runny favor Its abolition?'' "Yon. I think the platform is bound to be explicit on that point. Hut in tome Way the rerenne must be I rcdncod. The surplus ia an impor vtant temptation to extravagance and pjprruptton; ami farther surplus roust bo prevented by Intelligent legislation. Congress hae no right to levy taxes to j i a surplns, and the way to ' la to return H to the peo the State authorities, d time that unneoessav oolleoted from 9 do ia to make ?,IOTiB?of^M|j Wade In the previous instanoea?I wav-lt." ' f'! '? are uiho probabilities of a o inoeeaajf : good. Indeed, la the , ah a tariff lean* there la ample 1 to make leauee on the | y RepnhReana^hare * Inge that are opposed fc> , jof our government and the ooiltr.ll?*lloi. ofpoWW, 1 K twist doabiof IX mo of the United sure." ?- q* Iho Slnto. About Mr-put 18 Senator Mahone appeared upou the * ayd, a? Chairman of tbo 8ta.w live Committee, celled the Contention to cflcdor. He wee cheered rocJLferons lyaa the "black man'B friend" when bo tame to the front of the platform to pall Ibc meeting to order. When tbo OheoHtireabdded,^ho In a few words, after acknowledging the life-long ob ligations which he would feel fbr the proud Consideration and distinction bestowed upon him, said they bad mot to to ko grave and serious concern in pnbllo measures whloh would inake life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness the measure of justioe in Virginia. He urged harmony of proceedings to give force to their action, and then nominated Major Lamb, of Norfolk, as temporary Chairman. Mnjor Lamb's nomination was greet ed with applause, and bo at (ftice stopped fbrward and eloquently aud earnestly outlined the purposes and objects of tbo convention. They wore to work for protection to labor, free education to all, humau rights and liberty to all, a froo ballot and a fair count, aud, abovo all, "to do wbat was in tholr power to rescue their old mother State from tbo bands of tbe despoiler." A (lor arraigning tbo Democratic party of the- Stato for stilling the voice of the people by forco and fraud, for attempting to destroy tho efficiency of tbo judiciary and for bringing shame ana dishonor upon the lair name of Virginia, Major Lamb olosed with a most oloquenl and ef fect! vo peroration. Resolutions woro adopted providing for oommittees on orodontbus aud permanent organiza tion. Everything passed off smoothly until a resolution was offered proposing the appolutment of a committee of Ihreo from each Congressional Dlstrlot, with Senator Mahoue as ex-cfficio Chairman, to whom were to be referred all reso lutions or propositions submitted to the Convention, and who were to report a platform and a list of dele gates to the Chicago Convontion. The proposition authorising this oom mittee to report the list of delegates to Chicago led to oonsidorablo discussion It was endorsed by Congressman John A. Wise and others ana was opposed by ex-Governor Lewis. Finally it was agreed to by apparently quite a large majority of voices. Some dissatisfaction was expressed at Chairman Lamb's refosal to call an aye and nay vote, when Congressman Wise said that, although in flavor of the adoption of the resolutions, ho would have to appeal from the Chalr man'e decision against an aye an nay vote In ordet to convince the minority that tbe majority wanted to deal feirty with them. Without taking action on this the Convention Boon afterwards took a rocess till 6 p. m. Tbe Convention was called to order at 8.40 p. m. A permanent organiza tion was effected as follows: Wmt Lamb, Norfolk, President; C. C. Clark, Rlohmond, Secretary; Geo. F. Gregg (oolored), Petersburg, Assist ant Secretary, and Vice- Presidents from each Congressional District. Ex-Judge Thomas Taylor, of Frank lin, said he understood that tho dlffor ont districts had elected their delogates to Chicago, and he moved that thoy be Instruoted to casta solid voto for Arthur. [Loud crlos of "no."] A motion to call the roll of the Conven tion was lost. Tho district delegations woro then oalled for annonncod. All oftbedolcgatos are Arthur men. All I?? ?olcffa"ons exoopt that from the third voted In favor of tho unit rulo at Chiongo and without excoptlon for Mahono for Chairman of tho Stato delegation. THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT, Laylnii th? Corner Stone for the Third Time?-Interacting Ceremonies. ' Columbia, April 28.?The ccremo nlal of laying the oorner?stone of the Confederate inonatnent took place this evening. Notwithstanding the fact that this was actually the third time the oonier-stono of this monument has boon laid there was a largo attendance.

Martin of the Methodist ohnrch the oomer-stono was dnly laid according to the Masonic ooromonlal, by acting <J. M. Arthur, assisted by Deputy u. M. Leaphart. The stone oontalned the artiolos usual ly doposlted on such occasions* At th< oonelnsion of the ceremony a bouedlotlon was pronotinood by tho Rev, Mr. Martin, and the simple bnl impressive services were olosoo. The site which has at last boon oho sen for the monument is an admirable one, and will givo tho beautlfol oolnmn the bold aud stately position it has so long needed. The Imrthqoake In KnftUwA.

London, April 22.?At 9.30 o'clock ( this moral ug an earthquake shock of] considerable force was felt in the east era counties of England. Localities in Essex and 8uflblk were the soenes of the greatest disturbance. At Ipe-| wich, the capital of Saflblk county, tho shock wju so severe that the walls of houses were perceptibly shaken, plates were rattled and bells rung. Tho people have been thrown into such a state of consternatiou that busi ness is for the time suspended. The shock was still more severe at Colohcs ter, lu-Essox. The concussion lasted half a minute. The first symptomj was a deep, rumbling sound, porten tous and awe*iusplring. This was speedily followed by the shaking of all the buildings. Church bells sounded as though swayed by unseen hands, tall chimney stacks of factories crashed In ruins to the earth and other lofty | structures were destroyed. Tho spire of one of the largest churches in the , city. 160 feet high, fell with an awful crasn to tho ground. In oao part of| tho city a fire was caused by tho shock. It is ifnpossiblo to estimato tho amount of damago, but It is known to bo great. In private Iiouros tho greatest con fusion provailed. Tables wore over turned, chairs swayed and then fell sprawling upon tho floor. China and glassware in cupboards and sideboards rattlod together and wore frequently shattered, whilo pictures and othor ornaments upon the walls wore loos ened from their fastenings and fell to | tho floor. People wero torror-striokon. Men, women and children rushed ( shrieking into the streets, whero their , agonized cries and pale faces mado a | most impressive scone. At Chelms ford, likowiso in Essox, and only about thirty miles from London, tho shock, whs also severe, and people were filled | with terror and dismay. At South End, a watering place near the mouth of the Thames, the earth trembled for miles arouud, tho windows of many dwellings wore broken, ehimueys woro dashed to tho earth and crockery and glassware were smashed. At Shoo uryness, a few miles beyond South End, the shock was distinctly felt. It was also percoptible at Bury St. Ed munds, wnilo at Mutton, ten miles east of Chelmsford, the town hall and private houses were swayed several (lines. The wavo passed from South to North. Tho Globe says that tho shook was felt in tho Strand, London., A bnsiuess house, it asserts, was per-1 ceptibly rocked?so muoh so that the employes were affected and rushod into the streets. The duration of the shock at Ipswioh is estimated at three sooonds. Tho earthquake has eausod a general fooling or alarm and inse curity throughout England. London, April 22.?Later adviccB Indtoato clearly that Colchester was tho oentro of tho most serious disturb ance by tho oarthquake. It Is lmpos-, sible as yot to determlno tho oxteut of | damago. In some streets traffic has been forbiddon for tho present as buildings have boon so badly shat- \ teved that thoy are considered danger ous to life and limb. Tho side walls of houses near Colchester wore shaken out. Iu London thoro woro numorous indications of tho proximity of tho earth quake. Telegraph instruments woro snaken shaken and tho shook was dis tinctly felt in Cheapsido and Floot street. Tho railway depot aud a largo mansion woro partially destroyod at Ipswich. BUICIDK OF A COUNTESS. The Deaperate Deed of a Fashionable Woman?Driven to Frensj by Gambling. Paris, April 16.?Monaco has a ghastly seusation which promises to mako it a rival of Monto Carlo as a theatre for sonsatlonal saicides of rained gamestors.
