THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
By reference, to our telegraphic dis
patcher It Will be seenlthat twenty
eight ballota were taken yesterday at
the Chicagoimyentioi and - so far
without any . practical Result.'- Grant
commenced with 305 vote3, and on the
last ballot he had 307. On the fifteenth
ballot he went up to 309, but quickly
fell back to the starting point. On the
other hand. Blaine led off with 284
votes, and on the last ballot had fallen
to 279. The friends of Sherman, Wash
burne, Edmunds and Windom manfully:
bring up the rear for their respective fa
vorites, apparently without any hope of
success. Grant has been in the . lead
from the beginning, and in all human
probability he will carry off the honors
if his friends possess the pluck and en-
durance which they claim.
We anticipate a change in the pro
gramme to-day. BoWi Edmunds and
fV. ...4
Washbufne are known to be for Grant,
X
and if they can influence their friends
in the convention the combined vote of
these two candidate will bring Grant
up to within five votes of a nomination,
and he can be nominated without a
single vote from Blaine or Sherman.
On the other hand the Blaine and Sher
man vote combined cannot nominate
their man. By reference to the table of
votes by States it will be, seen that
Noi UiCaAiina 'gives'ilrant six votes
while SfoermaHgetMr- Ifc is believed
in the event of a break-up that these
fourteen Sherman votes willbe immedi
ately transferred to the Grant columns,
when it oOmes - to a choice between
Blaine and the "man on horseback."
And the same may be said of other
Southern States. As the reader has al
ready perceived, The Observer still
sees Grant as the probable nominee of
the Chicago convention.
THE GRADED SCHOOL VOTE.
1 '
Reference to our local columns will
showthat the graded school question
has not been carried with that majority
which settles the: matter beyond ques
tion ; in fact the result is claimed by
friends as well as the opponents of the
measure.
The law under which the graded
school was to have been established,
provides that the board of aldermen of
the city may order a new registration,
and as it was claimed that it was de
feated the last time because of the in
correctness of the registration lists, the
board decided to have a new registra
tion for this particular election. Ac
cording to this registration the follow
ing is regarded as a possible vote:
Ward 1 .532
Ward 2... 895
Ward 3 450
Ward 4 285
Total 1,662
According to this it requires 832 votes
to adopt, and the following was the vote
cast : ;
Ward i . . . i . . . .; 242
Ward 2 218
Ward 3 231
Ward 4 124
Total . 15
Or 17 less than a majority of the reg
istered vote? 'Only one vote was cast
gainst ithrthetrity.
The friends)f the measure claim that
enough-Njmtoperfy? registered names
can be eliminated from the registration
y books to make the vote cast yesterday a
4 majority of the possible vote, but this is
a question of doubt in the first case, and
a question of legality in the second.
We do not know where the matter will
end, but we have good reason to believe
if the law Ss attempted to be carried out,
it will be tied up in the courts, and pro
bably lost in the maze of legal techni
calities. Seventeen more votes for the meas
ure would have settled it. Is it not a
shame and a disgrace that a measure of
this magnitude shall be lost by the lack
of so small a -number of votes? The
Observer for five years has advocated
this or some similar measure in the in
terest of popular education, and now
reaches tbe.conclusion that the people
of the city do not desire public schools.
It is a step backward which will do
more to retard the advancement of the
material interests than any other one
thing, as we see it ( .Someof , our best
and most progressive men have oppos
ed the measure from the beginning,
and we have sometimes doubted wheth
er we bave not bdeiunistal&n in its ad
vantages. If ' we know ourself we
would do nothing, nor advocate any
measuie,whicJLjypuld work injury to
thecity, but it seemathat a majority of
our people do not think as we do.

GEN. Am OT. SCALES.
The nroDositioh made by The Obsek-
VER.to put up Gen. Scales, as the" Dem
ocratic candidate for: Governor, has
been caught by the mocratip. State
press, and at this writing tne iaea prom
ises more than a meaningless boom,
but we may as well say to the friends
of Gen. Scales that there is little nope
of his nomination, without a .very ac
tive canvass, in., his ; interest. Public
sentiment among Democrats has al
ready crystalized to a. very great extent
towards either Go jr. Jaxvjs or Judge
FowleV and with tbings as they now
ntAntMCiAv. Jartfs will probably he
nominated oh the first ballot.
This is as the matter now stands, but
of course it may all be changed in the
next ten days. This is, however, not
likely, without hard work.
Counties that have instructed will
hold their delegates up to Lthe instruc
tions, and there is not time to arouse
public sentiment to such an extent as
to create a feeling in favor of uen.
Scales we very ranch fear; Hlii admir
ers are handicapped- hy the fact that
their chief, so far from desiring to en
ter the race, has steadily discouraged
the use of his name, and indeed it is clear
it would be an actual sacrifice on his part.
These facts cannot fail to have their in
fluence in any canvass that can be
made in his interest.
In addition to ,this, late yesterday
envening The Observer received the
following telegram which only confuses
matters further: o
GREENSBORO,N.Cnne 7,1880$ p.m.
To the Editor of The Observer: fti M
The foflowing is a cop a- tele
gram received from Gen. Scales at 4:41
to-day : "You are right, I am not and
will not be a candidate for Governor.
(Signed,) A. M. Scales
Geo.1 TL Gregory.
Ch'm DenL fix Com6thDist-
In the letter which The Observer
published last Friday from Gen.
Scales, he said substantiallwbat he
says in the above telegram, "that he is
not and will not be a candidate," but in
that letter he said he would take the
nomination if it were tendered him,
and he does not say to the contrary in
the telegram, but we shall probably
have something more definite ina day
or two. - -:
One thing we notice With "pleasure,
and that is that the tone of the Demo
cratic press has been very much modi
fied within the last few days. The
bickering and bitterness between the
rival candidates that was exhibited ten
days ago seem to have been discarded
to a certain extent, and if the introjec
tion of Gen. Scales's name into the can
vas has had or can have no Other effect,
that much at least will have been ac
complished. JUDGE SCHENCK AND CONGRESS.
A knowledge of the fact that the Ca
barrus vote in the Rockingham conven
tion is a Schenck vote in disguise; the
arrival of a part of the Cabarrus dele
gation to that convention, and the
simultaneous arrival of Judge Schenck
from Lincolnton, yesterday evening, set
the politicians, to surmising why was
all this thus. The' knowing newspaper
man is aware of the fact that an injunc
tion case between the Carolina Central
and the Richmond & Danville Railroad
companies, is to be tried to-day at
Chambers by Judge Schenck, and that
Col. Paul B. Means is attorney for the
Richmond & Danville Railroad com
pany, but whether this explanation
goes far enough is another matter.
Judge Schenck has for some time
been regarded as a possible "dark horse",
in the congressional race, but it is be
lieved that he has done nothing to help
the boom forward. It is understood
that Col. Hoke has made his canvass
with an eye to this very contingency,
and that under no possible circum
stances could the Hoke vote be thrown
for Judge Schenck in the convention.
With all the conflicting interests and
opinions which are to be brought to
light at Rockingham, the nomination
of Judge Schenck can hardly be enter
tained.
Of the 305 votes that Grant seems to
have a mortgage on at the Chicagoon
vention, 153 are cast by Southern States,
Which in all probability cannot give
him a single electoral vote in case of his
nomination. Queer, isn't it? -
Speech of 9lr, Voorhee on tbe Negro
Exoda.
Cor. Richmond Dispatch.
Senator Vborhees this afternoon madA
a lengthy speech on the negro exodus,
which will be widely circulated and ex
tensively read. He Showed' from the
testimony of numerous Republicans,
lireen backers, and Democrats that it
was a conspiracy gotten ud secretlv bv
Republican leaders to introduce into
Indiana 12,000 negro Republican voters
with a view of coritrollinr that Sfcafc in
November. He drew a striking picture
of the condition of Indiana, and declar
ed that its citizens, without regard to
party, had testified that it did not need
laborers from abroad on its farms or in
its workshops, because there are more
there now than can find profitable em-.
pioyment. while Indiana did not in
vite the negroes to come within her bor
ders neither did North Carolina drive
them away. He quoted from the testi
mony of intelligent colored men to
show how kind the white people of
"the North State"havebeen to.the color
ed people.and also to show that colored
people seduced from their comfortable
homes there to go to Indiana to better
their condition were the victims of a
heartless political conspiracy. Southern
members listened with a good deal of
interest to this capital speech.

CmcAGO, June 7. The Grant men
profess confidence, but do not look it.
They admit their vote will fall: below
three-hundred on the . first ballot; but
urge that it will increase on subsequent
roll calls, and they will win as soon as
the friends Of Shermait and ithet other
nominees, whoare loiter in the lists,
shall see that the .contest is between
Grant and Blaifie. The f rieads f -the
latter do not talk, but appear equally
confident and resolute. It looks to-day
as if their vote might lead Grant's on
the first ballot, but no prediction will be
safe in the present condition of affairs.

After the 1st vote Conkling called
for the individual roll call, apparently
for the purpose f meeting the record
of Woodin's vote, which, however, was
cast by his alternate, for Blaine, One
vote was short in West Virginia, un
derstood to be because of the absence
of a delegate. Campbell, of West
Virginia, attempted to make a state
ment as to the vote, but it was ruled
out of order, and he then cast the vote.
Immediately afterwards, Butterworth,
of Ohio, attempted to make a question
of privilege of it, and stated that Camp
bell's object was to present the vote of
the alternate, but he, too, was ruled out
of order.

of announcing the vote of New York

West Virginia, in imitation and ridicule
ot the .New York Senator, on the 7th

FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.
SYNOPSIS OF YESTEUDAY'S PKO-
CEEOINOS.
Washington, June 7. Senate.
The Senate proceeded . to consider the
calendar bill to ascertain the amount
of tbe claim of Jos. R. Shannon, of
Louisiana. It was recommitted.
The bill to reduce the price of public
lands within railroad limits from $2.50
per acre to $1.25 per acre, after discusr
sion, was passed.
The morning hour having expired,
the unfinished business, which was the
Kellogg-Spofford resolutions, was taken
up.
Mr, Gall supported the resolutions
and argued that in seating Mr. Jonas,
the Senate decided the Nichols Legisla
ture to be the legal Legislature of Lou
isiana, and, therefore, the Packard Leg
islature could not nave been alawlul
body. He then read an elaborate argu
ment against the applicability of the
doctrine of res adjudicate, to this case.
Mr. Johnston also supported the reso
lution,-concluding that Kellogg was not
constitutionally elected and was guilty
or currupt practices, lie also argued
that the former action of the Senate
might and should be revised.
McDonald gained the noor but gave
way to other business, lie will speak
oji the resolution to-morrow.
ecK, irom tne committee on appro-
priations.reported with amendments the
ci ii appropriation b 1'. Placed on the
calendar.
The House bill providing govern
ment suits against timber trespassers
on public lands prior to March 1st, 1879,
and" enabling defendants in suits now
pending to settle them by acquiring
title to lands under existing laws, was
called up and advocated by Jones, of
Florida.
The reduction from $2.50 to $1.25 per
acre of lands whose price was raised
more than 20 years before the passage
or this act on account ot grants of alter
nate sections for railroad purposes, was
stricken out. As thus amended the bill
was passed.
House. A very small number of
bills was introduced and referred this
morning under a call of States.
Haskell, of Kansas, moved to suspend
the rules and pass the Senate bill rati
fying the Indian agreement, with
amendment of the House committee
thereto. After an hour's debate the
motion was agreedto and the bill passed
Adjourned.
NOMINATIONS.
The President sent to the Senate to
day the nomination of Wm. C. Gorgas,
ot Alabama, to be assistant surgeon m
the army.
A DUEL IIS VIRGINIA.
W. C. Elam, Editor of tbe "Whigr,"
and Col. Tbo. Smith have a Hostile
IHectiuff Elanl Seriously Wounded.
IRiChmond, June 7 Warrants were
issued to-day for the arrest of W. G
Elam, editor of the Whig, and Colonel
Thomas Smith, son of ex-Gov. Wm
Smith, on a charge of engaging in a
duel, and Joseph B. Walters, business
manager or tne Whig, and Gen. W. H
Payne, for encouraging and promoting
said duel. The meeting took place yes
terday morning near this city, almost
on the identical ground where the fatal
McCarthy-Mordicai affair occurred sev
eral years since.
Elam fell at the first fire of his oppo
nent, the ball taking effect in the centre
of his chin, splitting the bone and frac
turing the right jaw bone. The wound
is severe but not considered dangerous.
Warrants were served on Elam and
his alleged second, Mr, Walters, but
Elams condition precluding nis re
moval he was paroled. Walters was
arrested but subsequently bailed in
$1,000 for his appearance next katur
day. '
Col. Smith and his party have not
been arrested. It is reported that they
immediately after the duel proceeded in
the direction of West Point where they
intend to take the steamer for Balti
more, thus getting beyond the jurisdic
tion of the state. Tne meeting nad its
origin in an article which appeared in
the Whig last Tuesdny, headed r -Political
Powers." and which denounced in
unmeasured terms the funders or so
much of the conservative party as have
utterly repudiated the old name under
which it nad masqueraded and assumed
a new style, the Democratic party of
, V irgmia. This denunciation embraced
all the leaders since 1840. and included
the Governor of Virginia, Wm. Smith,
who was the chief executive of the
State at the close of the war, hence the
implication or nis son m the present
anair.
