Kin^s County Gives a Solid
Unpledged Vote.
Stracusi, N. Y., March 21, 1810.
The gathering here of repuollcan delegates from all
parts of the Stale to select delegates to tho Presidential
Convention, at Cincinnati, on the 14th of Juue next,
promises to be eventful In many ways. Tho Convention
will open at eleven o'clock to morrow, at Wialing
Hall. Kew of tho delegates made their appearance In
Syracuse until an early hour this morning. Mr. A. B.
Cornell, Chairman of the Slalo Committee, was the
first prominent delegate In town. He arrived at a late
bwur on Monday night. Then followed Postmaster
James, Hunry A. Uhdden, Clerk of the Senate, and
acvefal other republican officials from Mew York city.
Nearly all the leading members are located at tho Vanderbilt
llouse, aud little excitement more than that
txpcrienced at an ordinary political gathering is manifested.
Tho large majority of the delegates with
whom 1 conversed during the day thought
It advisable to pass a roso.ution pledging New
fork's seveoty votes to Conkltng, but some
sieditatlng countrymen from counties in tho northern
part of the State, who were lound later in the day,
considered such a proceeding injudicious, to use a mild
term, in view of tho present state of public affairs.
Parlor No. TO, of tho Vanderbilt House, Is the headquarters
ol the State Committee. Here each delegation
was Invited to report on Its arrival. Mr. Cornell,
the political commander-ln-cbter of the hour, personally
directed routine preparations lor to-morrow's
Convention. Tho main propoaMion agitating many of
the delegates relates to the expediency at this particular
time of sending a plodged body to Cincinnati. In
discussing the points to-day with some of those gentlemen
from Onondaga, St, Lawrence and other counties,
before the main delegation arrived, a few wero lound
ntireiy outspoken against the giving of a pledge to
Conkltng or anybody else. They claim that mighty
chHnirOR mav lair a nlarA In ntihlln RAnLimont hALuriw?n
now und the assembling of the National Convention.
We live In an age ot expoeure, and It la doubtful on
whose devotod bead tbe heavy axe of public exposure
may next lalL With the examples of Belknap, Pendleton
and others beloro tbe eves of the American people
It Is considered bat prudent to stay tho doctrine ot
"pledging" until the political sides boeomo clearer and
the ghoul of Investigation is clutched by the throat.
TliK MA.NTLZ OK UONLMrV.
Within tbe past few months, those delegates say, we
have Been the mantle of honesty torn from the shoulders
or some of our leading politicians. Statesmen
who held tbelr heads high in the front ranks of
American history have been compelled to bow before
an outraged constituency In shame. Our Centennial
year has been darkened by exposures
1 of common theft even among members of tho
Cabinet in Washington. The air is thick all around
with rumors against tbe name and lame of many who
to-day are trusted leaders among the people. Is it safe,
then, to pledge a body of seventy intelligent men
i nearly three months in advance of their action? It
matters not whether the man isConkling, Blaine or any
body else, the principle la the same. Thoy also put
tbe question this way:?Supposing Secretary of War
Belknap still remained high In the confidence of tbe
tountry, supposing ho waa n man eminently beloved
by the republican party, the finger ot Isle bad pointed
him out as a Ot and eligible candidate for President,
the doiegates from hie native Slate had pledged
themselves in advance to hoist his name on
Ihclr banner at the National Convention as
candidate for President of the United Sutos,
cud there nlterwsrd came the calcium light of such
xposure as has recently shocked the whole country,
where would stand the delegate's pledger It would be
scattered to the winds, recoiling on the party that
made It, and going far toward tho defeat of a second
choice, no matter how stainless his record. OB tho
sther hand,

who has taken so determined a stand In favor or send- v<
Ing an unpledged delegation to Cincinnati, arrived p,
here at hall-past eight o'clock, and immediately
proceeded to the Syracuso Houae. Anxious inquiries fr
were mode as to what the genilemau intended to do tc
In view of the particular rule he has assumed. It is u
said that he will make a spcooh in opposition to the
programme so carefully mapped out by the republican jy
leaders, but vigorous efforts are now being uisdo to w
prevent auy scenes which might disturb the harmony | p,
of the Convention. ! p

A meeting ol delegates trom Westchester, Oneida. \\
Columbia and St. latwrenoe counties was held at eleven ; M
o'clock to-night, lu the room of Mr. Curtis, at the Sy ra- \ ?
cuse House. A general conversation took place as to a
what policy was to be pursued; but no programme was : ,r
arranged up to tho time of closing my despatch. Bitter > p,
opiKwition, howover, win manifested to the > u
pledging of the delegation. Mr. Curtis made | p,
several nest speeches to the assemblage, which 1 Cl
numbered about thirty. He acknowledged that < g
his side of the House was In the minority us fur as the ; |t
Convention was concerned, but the principles wnlch ; c,
they maintained hod tho larger moss of votes behind fa
them. It was time for the republican party to cry j |C
Haiti" Ouo of the delegates Iroui Westchester ex- | |t
pressed a wish that the Convention should be put back 1 p
lor two months. Tho Custom House, Post Office and ; gl
Internal Koveuue bureaus had seat their dele- gl
gates here by tba score to pack the Conven. x
lion. They bad everything well in hand. |t
At thia point a delegate from Kings county rushed Into m
the room breathlessly, and stated that his locality hud
concluded to cast a solid vote?thirty-one?against a fj
pledged delegation. This statement was recoived with x
murmurs of applause. The meeting was rhou regu- p
larlv organized, wltn Mr. Cnrtia in the chair and As- 8I
semblyuan l orster as secretary. Some dollntle plan al
oil the part of the appointments will undoubt- w
edly bo agreed upon before the Convention
assomblaa to-morrow. Anotlier meeting will bo held
at half-past ten o'clock to-morrow morning, iiuine- g
dlalely before the Convention assembles or is called 4,
together; but there seems little chance of success irotn p
this combination, and it is entirely apparent to my 8(
mind that Conkling'a trioods will carry through their p
programme to a successful conclusion. It is under- ]c
stood that ex-member ol Congress Haakins will be appointed
temporary chairman ol the Convection, and <j

arises in tho Convention. Homo few indc- >

begin to creak aud tremble over the i ?

ere in person, and the contest will be therefore all lb
ore spirited when it comes. Both came out a
tpress rate direct trout Washington, Wallace bavini
It bis seat la the Senate for the purpose
id violating' precedent In being the lira

Kbl will cotue between Kandatl aud Wullace, both o
horn will be urged. The struggle does not seem t
ave any signihcance beyond the merely personal uni
itiou ol the two men, both belonging to the sane
tug of the purty. As lur us present indications go Ih

ine of those, bt:l among them are many Wallace men
lexandor WeClure is here lrom Philadelphia workini

etween him and Randall. Randall's influence seem
? be on the decline. His record on th
sck pay salary grab, against which the democrati
mveulions have taken decided ground and in the wel
nowu lact that he is identified with tiranl and Robesoi
i the Philadelphia Navy Yard, have contributed l<
tuse a growing distrust ofhira. Squire McMullen, tin

Two facts are ovldcnt as to to-morrow's work. Th<
rst Is that the rag money tncu will be badly defeated
hey will not bo able to secure tecogniliou in tho reso

The second fact la that there will be no recommon

The loss of the Maggio M. Weaver, of (Jroco Crook,
1 X. J., Captain Walter Joseph Weaver, which went
aahoro In tho storm.of yesterday afternoon aud lust
3 evening, Is complete, and It Is believed that the
entire crow, which, It is supposed, numbered from
( I seven to nine men, were drowned. Tho Weaver wus
| a fore-and-aft schooner, of about two hundred and
forty tons, aud was first seen by Benjamin Beebe, the
captain of a Jersey smack, lying at the railroad dock,
~ who was on tho beach, opposite tho Horseshoe. This
was about fivo o'clock. The Vessel at this tiuie was on
tho bar, and a portion of her hull was out of the wuter.
! The flapping of her satis attracted his attention, and on
I arriving on the beach, ubout ono hundrod yards distant
9 from the wreck, ho noticed ono of the crow coino out of
1 1
the quarter-deck and go to the main rigging. Uoebe
I signalled huu to coiue out of the main rigging and
f go to tho foremost, which, us tho vessel was bead
^ on, was nearer tho shore. The man obeyed, Heebe,
a hurried to No. 1 lifo station at once, uud tho crow
I turned out quickly to tho rescue, with a lifeboat, life
3 car, life line aud mortar. They attempted to launch a
boat, hut It was turned over by tho surf and swamped.
The crew (rum life station No. 2 came to thoir assist
| anco, and a ball, to which tho ltle lino was attached,
was throwu from tho mortar across the wreck, but a
"tliia time tbe man was not to bo aeon, and, aa the lift
'L, Una could not be fastened, the life car was no
I- launched. The wcatbor set in quite thick and the

f | sails are up on the beach, os well as ono or the masts,
s | and sailors report that they never saw a vessel so comJ
. pletcly broken up, showing clearly that sho was very

Tho billowing is tho stuicmeui ot Captain Reynolds,
of the Kolus:?
Wo left our dock upon tho regula( tunc, and hud no
Idea that tbo Old Colony proposed to leave her dock.
Just as we were passing by the head ol It, as soon as 1
saw the did Colony, I slopped the Kolus, u> buck her as

I iug ahead, thus bringing out the bow of the Kolus. "
Captain Reynolds contends that he should have had
' tho right ol way while going out upon his regular
lime and being tho bearer ol tho United States mail.
The New York passengurs who had reuiuined ou board
j the Old Colony all night, on account of the storm,
i were on board the Kulus at the time of the accident.

Hon. Hcnrv H. I ay, of Hum city, on bin way to Provk

Kolus, and turuiahca tho lollowing account ot the acck
dent:?
Tho Kolua left her dock nt one o'clock. In Icmb thai
Ave nilnutea, when approaching Long Wharf, th?
steamer old Colony, which was just leaving her wharf,
wins Hod a warning and tho Kolus responded The Old
Colony advanced, while the Kolua began to back water;
1 owing, however, to the force ol tho gale blowing at lh?
tiuie, her forward motion wan not entirely suspended,
, and ahe struck tho Old Colony jual forward of tho
| wheel house, driving her how into her. Tho forward
inottcn ol' the Old Colony aoou disengaged tho Kolua,
j and tho former went around Gout Island with
an ugly hole in her side, while tho Kolua
steamed lor tho w harl, whhh wag soon
! reached In safety. There was considerable
excitement among the passengers, and cries ol "Lower
I away the boats I" were licurd on all sides; but Captain
| Reynolds, knowing that ho could reach the dock, paid
no heed to these requests. Many of the passengers
thought she was sinking, but by the coolness and excellent
management ol Cuptuiu Reynolds they were
quieted until they were assured of soioty,
WHO IM to IU.AIIK?
I The steamboat Inspectors will bo called upon to do
( cidu who Is to blatuc in the matter. Cue side now
blames tho other lor the collision, as will be seen by
! the statements of both captains, und nothing but the
usual Investigation will decide the matter. A large
j fang ot workmen aru at work on tho Old Colony clour
| Ing away the dc-brls, und thay expect to buvc her In
readiuess to resume tier place to-morrow night; con- *
sequently there will ho no bout to or from New York
to-night The accident will coat tho owners of the
Kolua about $2,UU0 uud the owners of the Old Colony
nearly us much more.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
To tub Editor or tub Hbrald:?
Id tlie report or tbe Judiciary Committee of the
Houte of Heproscnlativos. published la your paper of
this dale, it la recommended that, alter paying all
primary losses arising under the Geneva award, there
will vet remain a surplus of over 94,600,000, which It
proposes to divide, pro rata, among the insurance companies
"who huvo paid for vessels aud merckuudise
destroyed by such cruisers on tho high sons.'
Now, this recommendation of tho committee
is justified In their report by the assertion
"that, had not the cruisers in question
destroyed tho purticulur vessels insured, such companies
would have had the amount tliey paid to the in!
sured therolor in their treasuries. " Ol course they
would. llut suppose these insurance companies
I have more than recouped thoir losses by war praraluuts
wbero no losses accrued? In such case II
i would seem that the real losers were not tho insurance
, companies, but tbe parties who actually paid these war
I premiums If this surplus ol $4,60U.iXW is to bo
' divided at all there can be no equity In Its dis!
Iribution which shall Ignoro the Jnsl claims of thoso
who paid the enormous war premiums on our coast:
wise trade subsequent to me capture o( New Orleans,
j If tbe insurance companies are to get this overplus,
ihey should bo required to rotund at least seventy live
pcr'coni. of their wur premiums on coastwise risks ll
cases where no losses accrued. H. W.
