The He- publican national committee to-day after list enlog to the claims for various cities finally named Chicago as tho place for holding the national convention. Mr. Snowden had presented Philadelphia's m. Mayor Duggs of Indianapolis pointed tho advantages of that city. Indiana was always a doubtful State atd was likely to be come more doubtful in 1834. Should the Democratic convention name a certain man now prominently mentioned, Indiana would placed in the centre of tho fight, and her Itepublicans would bo called upon to lead hat might bo called the "forlorn hope," nt thev would do it' nobly. He did not hesitate to pledge that In 1881 lho electoral vote ot Iir'iaoa would bo cast for the He puhllcan candidate. Benjamin Buttcrwortb nf Ohio followed in suppoit of the claims of Cincinnati. What Quaire Bras wusto Water loo, wimi uounu ion was to ueuysuurg, Ohio was to tho National battle ground of 1834. There Hepubtlcans would gala or use the vantage ground for November, lenator Cullom.

Senator Frye's plan for changing the lueth l ot representation at Hvoubllcao Na tional conventions wai brought up. Mr. Hicks of Florida raised a point or order against, It on which thu chair refused to rule, but declared tho matter open for discussion. Senator Logan wanted tho resolution refer red to tue next national convention, as being the only body that had the right to consider It. Ex-Senator Clayton of Arkansas denied that'the committee had power even to refer It. Mr. Magee of I'ennylvanla moved to refer It to the convention. Wm. . Chandler of New Hampshire lought Senator Fryu's proposition was clear- ueiore me commute?, i ne nucsiion oi pcdlcncv was another thing but there was no doubt that the committee had a right to pass upon tne question. Altera long run ning discussion of the mint of order Mr. Chandler addressed hlimclf to the merits of tho proposition, wh'ch he cla'mcd was sus tained by ine cnunvnt ot tue strong itepuu lican communities from which the Hcpubll can party got the votea to elect a president. That sentiment was In favor not of taking representation irom tue southern states out giving additional representation to Northern States. That was senllmeut which the committee cou'd not afford to dtsnise or imediwnona point of ordtr. It wns a sentiment which could not bulled out of sight, but which should be met lalrly and squatcly by the voluntary ac lion of the Srath'.rn members of the committee.

Osgood A Oo, We need to speak tn terms of praise of 'Bed Letter Bays Abroad' only to those who have nevrr beard one or more of Mr. Stoddard's lectures. To eome It has been one of the wonders of the amusement season, year after 3 car, that Mr. Stoddard could so readily fill the largest hall In the largest cities of America, and among others tho American Academy or Music Id Philadelphia, with au ditors of his Illustrated Travel Lectures. It has n-;t been bo much a questl m us to who should go,ustowhofromlackof room, should remain ut home. It is certain that no lectures have ever been given to the American public that were so popular as his, and at the same time that combined so many of the best liter ary, artistic and oratorical elements. His de- icrlntiona are alwa a so crutihic and Pluur-1 esrpic, his concurrent thoughts to just and suggestive, and'hls style bo elevated and fin ished. He omits nothing that Is needed to complete his presentation of the subject in usnu. lie aoea nor, iikc tue average icciurtr, read from manuscript, but, being complete master of bis subject, he presents it as a per fect, rounded whole. We know of no great ' lniciieclu u pleasure ol a receptive uu xlptlon than to listen to one of fits travel orations. The pictorial representations which ne nas mrown upon a screen, uiimtate ms lecture, rather ttnn ihe latter describe the former. The unities are nlnavB preserved. One listens to n thoroughly connected and highly wrought story of travel, and the pic tures aro flashed before his eyes in quick suc cession by way of Intensifying the efftct of the spoken word. We hive no doubt that every one who ha? heard one of Mr. Stod dard's lectures, will dc3lrc to possess a copy of his "Hcd-Leltcr Diys Abroad j" and well they may, for thsrc Is the tame aptness of thought, vlviduess of description and literary finish. We are first taken through "Sunny Spalu" (and Spain just now is being much printed about, volume alter volume, upmui corapiratlvely littlu known scenery and peo ple, coming Irom the press). Wo read about Toledo, Cordova, Seville, tho Alhambra, ur an mi ami ut Or Altar. jNothing coma ue belter than nls word-pictures of Ihc3e his toric and romantic cities and placci. And they are beautlQcd by accompanying wood engravings of original dceign and remarkable excellence. Thusu supply the place of those provided by tho magic lantern at bis public lectures, sscxi. no por trays tho performance of the Passion Play at Ober-Ammcrgau In 1880. which drew to gether about two huudrcd thousand men and omen, through motives ot mixed curiosity and piety tho former largely prevailing. ills account ot the play, bts port r aiu oi tne leading characters who participate! in it. his pictures of scenes from the play, and his descriptions of the peculiar surroundings, all arc replete with the deepest Interest. The volume concludes with a description of the two leading "cities or tho uzar" nt. ixtcrs' burg and Moscow. The same distinguishing characteristics mark these us the preceding papers. No narrative could be smoother, and at the same time more vigorous. We take pleasure in drawing especial attention to "Hcd-Jjcltcr uays Abroad" as a most ap. propriate gilt book for the approaching sea bou. Its merits nrc so varied nnd striking. and its beauty so apparent, that it should, and doubtless will, prove uuo of the mot popular volumes of the year. From "The fswnc," rnwieipnia.
