NEW YOKK, April 25.
The coming convention at Cincinnati en?
grosses the public mind, and this morning the
letter of Charles Francis Adams, which ap-j
pears in the dally Journale, ls the town talk.
Tn this locality, the current is setting very
.strongly ^
IN FAVOR OF ADAMS.
3 have heard many Republicans, who have
hitherto been looking upon the Cincinnati
.movement with coldness and even hostility,
H"Clare thar, if Mr. Adams shall bo the uoml
.cee^tbeir-consciences will not permit them to
vofe for General Grant's re-election. On the
?Democratic side, there is, In high quarters, a
very favorable feeling towards Adams. Mr.
Belmont, the chairman of the National Demo?
kratie Committee, is known to be in favor of j
Adams, and has recently gone West to induce
the Liberal Republican leaders to put him in
nomination at Cincinnati. The World openly
advocates the selection of Adams as the can?
didate to oppose Grant, and, in double-leaded
lealers, promises the support of the Demo?
cratic party.
MR. ADAMS'S LETTER
seems to have given anew impetus to the
movement In bis favor, and II it takes in ihe
West and South as It has here, lt ls not at all
unlikely that when the Cincinnati Convention
meets*next Wednesday, the nomination will
be tendered to bim, amida whirlwind of ac-1
?clamatlon. His availability, as compared with
that of Judge Davis or Governor Brown or
'Senator Trumbull, ls still a matter of discus?
sion. Undoubtedly he ls among living Amer?
ican statesmen north of ihe Potomac the
one most conspicuous for elevation of charac?
ter, cool, self-poised Judgment, and "eminent
respectability.'* In his indifference to the
allurements of office and contempt for the
petty arts of the demagogue, he closely resem?
bles Washington. The contrast, if he was
pitted against Grant for the Presidency, would
be an armament with the people needless of
-demonstration. But In the Democratic ranks
there are some elements of opposition to him.
THS FENIAN'S
fancy that he was slack in effecting the re-1
le&e of the naturalized Americans who were
Imprisoned in England for participating in the
Fenian rising. Colonel Warroo, one of the
Fenian leaders, ls bitterly opposed to bim.
Among the Western Democrats he ls not
-altogether acceptable. The Chicago Times,
the organ of the Illinois Democracy, declares
that lt will not support him. A Washington
dispatch published Fn the morning papers
says that Fernando Wood, In behalf of the
Democratic Congressmen, pronounces agalnBt"|
Mr. Adams. Whether these signs of disap?
proval of the Belmont-World action in this
locality would continue in face of a pponla,
ane?os outburst in favor of Mr. Adama at Cin?
cinnati, remains to be seen, lt ls not likely
that Mr. Adams, if nominated, would take an
- active part in the canvass. The other gentle
men who are prominently named would cer?
tainly go before the people. Probably the
man who conld get up the biggest "hurrah1*
- and sweep the country with him would be
DAVID DAVIS.
The Judge isa magnetic man, great of bulk
and sound ot mind, who could make a dozen
' rattling speeches a day for every day ot the
campaign without exhausting his strength, a
natural stump orator, with a broad, open
beaming countenance and popular manners.
Davis Is the favorite with the smart politicians
in the Liberal Republican ranks, and will go
to Cincinnati better organized for the contest
than any- o? his -, om pei kore. He ls the first
choice ot the Labor Reform party, and bas a
l?fge following in Illinois. He would proba?
bly make a more thoroughly Demooratlo Pres?
ident than Adams or Trumbull, and Demo
eratic politicians woui? have a better show
for offices under his administration.
GRATZ BROWS
the Intellectual, courageous and great souled
governor of Missouri, ls the favorite of the Ger?
mane, though lt ls said that Senator Schurz has
a preference for Mr. Adams. He ls a first- J
class man In every respect, an original Demo?
crat by birth and training, and would make a
. strong impression oe the country, if he should
.? go upon the stump. As the leader of the
movement which struck the shackles from the
feet of the ex-Confederates lu Missouri, he
would commend himself to the enthusiastic
: support of the white element ot the South.
SENATOR TRUMBULL
would be the least effective of the four public
men whose names are most prominently con?
nected with the Cincinnati nomination. His
nature Is cold, his manner stiff, and hts public
career not without Its vulnerable points. But
his high character as a man and a statesman
would not be questioned. Senator Logan, one
-of the strongest men with the soldier element
in the Republican parly, has announced that
he will support Trumbull If he is nominated.
The other names canvassed tor the Presiden?
cy are those of Governor Palmer, of Illinois;
Horace Greeley, Minister Curtin, of Penn?
sylvania, ex-Secretary Cox, ol Ohio, and Chief I
Justice Chase. The first might be taken up in [
-case of an obstinate struggle between the
leading candidates for the nomination. The
last is virtually out of the race. Mr. Greeley
has no expectation o? getting the nomination
now, and ls understood to prefer Mr. Adams.
It Is important that some provision should be
made In the ticket for
CARRYING PENNSYLVANIA.
For this reason the popular name of Curtin'
.has been put forward.. He ls-still In Europe,
but his personal friend, Colonel Aleck Mc?
Clure, who assumes to speak for him, vouches
for bis sympathy with the Liberal movement.
It ls thought that If he even received the sec?
ond place on the ticket Pennsylvania could be
secured against Grant. The oombinatlons of
names suggested ace numerous, for example:
. Adams and Hancock, (which would have a
fine old revolutionary flavor) Adams and Cur?
tin, Adams and Palmer, Brown and Curtin,
Brown and John Qulocy Adams, Davis and
Greeley, Trumbull and Tilden, Davis and
Parker, Greeley and Groesbeck, Curtin and
Cox, Curtin and Rosecrans, Adams and Trum?
bull.
THE GERMANS
Df the Republican stripe are almost unani?
mous for the Cincinnati movement. They are
holding mass meetings all over the Northwest
and choosing delegates to the convention.
Such men as H ec ker. Eoerner, Kaufmann and
^Rummel! are asslstlog. Senator Schurz to
array the Germans against Grant. It ls;
safe to tay tbat the German defection from the
Administration party will lose to Grant the
States of Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
and possibly Michigan, Ia which they bold the
balance of power. The German papers of the
Northwest generally favor Governor Brown
for the Presidency. Mr. Adams is their second
choice. Full delegations to Cincinnati-will go
from all the Eastern Slates. The Connecti?
cut call was issued yesterday. Some of the
delegates are already
OFF FOR CINCINNATI.
Mr. Greeley and his party?wlll leave cn Satur?
day. As many of the interior cou aries are
moving, fully a thousand delegates will go
from New York State. Tickets for the round
trip from this ciiy are sold at the railroad de?
pots for twenty-four dollars. It is thought
that nat less than twenty-thousand delegates
will be present lu Cincinnati. Colonel Gros?
venor, formerly proprietor of the St. Louis
Democrat, has charge of the arrangements.
GRANT'S FRIENDS
are certainly worried about the future. The
administration organs have blustered a great
deal, but within a few da\ a their tone has
changed from ridicule 9f the "soreheads" to
entreaty that honest Republicans will not aid
In breaking up the party. The danger
Pennsylanla is so menacing that negotiations
are on foot to throw aside Colfax and nomi?
nate a Pennsylvanian, probably Senator Scott,
for vice-President. Curtin could have the
nomination if he would accept it. Most of the
Republican papers stick to Ihe administration.
The most prominent Journals supporting the
Cincinnati movement are tbe Tribune, Eve?
ning Post, Springfield Republican, Hartford
Post, Cincinnati Commercial and Chicago Tri- ?
bune. Henry Ward Beecher has declared for
Granr, but bis friend, Theodore Tilton, goes to
Cincinnati as a delegate. The illustrious
blatherskite, General Judson Kilpatrick, blows
a blast against the President, while the virtu?
ous General Dan Sickles (who ls about to sue j
the World for "defamation of character") is
already in the field for lils White House boon
companion. After the Cincinnati nomination
ls made there will be many announcemonts of |
apostacy irom the regular Republican organi?
zation. At present the malcontents are walt
ing to see who will be the candidate.
ARBITRATOR ADAMS
departed on the steamer Russia, for Europe,
yesterday. He goes to attend the Geneva
Congress. During his slay ia the city he was
visible only to his personal friends. The let?
ter defining his position, which was printed
to-day, was prepared at the request of Hon.
D. A. Wells, the foremost of the Free Traders,1
and was only given out alter the steamer left
the dock. NTH.
RADICAL MEETING IN GEORGETOWN.
The Prominent Speakers Turn Up Miss?
ing-A Sad Fiasco.
The Georgetown Times reports that the
"grand mass meeting" of Radicals, held on
Saturday week, was a grand failure. None of
the "prominent speakers" arrived, and only
forty or fifty persons were present. The
Timessays:
Repr?sentai Ive Jones opened the ball as
usual. The meeting was called that the con?
stituents might have from their representa?
tives au account of their stewardship. Mr.
Jones referred them to the proceedings of the
Legislature, as published in all the papers,
which had no doubt been carefully read by
them. Representative Bowley Bald, ditto. Re?
presentative McDowell said, likewise also.
Gonslderlag that they were addressing a high?
ly intelligent audience, who had read alofi
the proceedings of the menagerie, and under?
stood what they meant, the remarks of |
the representatives must have been entire?
ly satisfactory, without the necessity of |
going over them In detail. They
did not explain why the taxes were doubled,
the State treasury empty; why the schools
were about to be closed, the inmutes of the
Lunatic Asylum about to be starved or turned
loose on the community; or how lt happened,
with this condition ot things existing, they
managed to return to their constituents with
costly horses and mules and vehicles and fur?
niture. Mr. Jones announced the g rat il \ lng
fact that he was not a candidate for any office,
and that he would not serve In any unless he
was elected. That declaration ls certainly ex?
plicit enough. It is as plain as a Delphic ora
ole, and seemed to be understood bravery one
ot' his hearers. Notwithstanding the elo?
quence ot the speakers, the meeting to con?
sider "questions ol viral Importance to the
public" was a laughable farce, a ridiculous
fizzle, and a complete failure. There were few
If any ot the Intelligent and influential colored
men of the town and county at lr, and we have
reason to believe they are getting heartily sick
and tired of being the pliant dupes and vic- j
tims of a set of men who have for the last tour
years systematically deceived them In order
that thty might successtully rob and plunder
them. _ _ _

POOR, BUT PROUD.-Yesterday there passed
through Lynchburg one of the poorest, yet
proudest families it was ever the writer's lot
to encounter. It consisted qf one Ezekiel Col?
een, wife and seven children, (rom South Caro?
lina, bound for the Countv of Cu?peper, where
they propose settling. They bad walked all
the way irom that State, and the women were
not only bonnet less but shoeles-<,aad|almo8t in
rags, presenting a poverty-stricken appearance
sickening to behold. When questioned as to
bis movements, the head of the family became
very curt In his re ?/lies, and to a proffer of food
tendered by a warm-hearted landlord, ladig
namly dr-cilued. He departed, with his family,
by the Orange Railroad bridge, not having the
means to pay for crossing at the toil bridge.

The excitement concerning the Cincinnati
Convention increases hourly all over the
country, and even the most radical of Radical
papers and politicians are ceasing to sneer
and beginning to whistle for the time-honor?
ed purpose of keeping up their courage. In
the City of Cincinnati Itself lhere 13 infinite
bustle and preparation for the great event.
The hotels are already "bespoken" to their
utmost capacity, and private houses are being
swept and garnished by the thrifty house?
wives for the prospective emolument of them?
selves and their lords. Delegations arrive on
every train, and here and there in the crowd
the conspicuous figure of some leader and
possible candidate ls beginning to be observ?
ed. There is much discussion, of course, con?
cerning the action ot th*J convention, but the
delegates are Inclined to keep their opinions
to themselves until the proceedings begin. A
Cincinnati dispatch; of Thursday, to the New
York Tribune says:
The work of pr?parai IOD, SO far as the halls
are concerned, ls perfected and ready for the
conventions. The Reunion and Reform Con?
vention will meet at 10 A. IL, May 1, at Mo?
zart Hall. IIB preliminary business will be
completed, if possible, in time to* permit the
taking of a recess, BO that the members may
be present at the Liberal Republican Conven?
tion, which will convene at "Exposition Hall at
12 M. on the Bame day. The general opinloo
is that the work of the conventions will con?
sume the entire week up till noon ot Saturday.
It is thought by those best informed and most
interested that the transformation of Hie con?
ventions luto one delegated body cannot,
under the most favorable circumstances, be
effected In time for a meeting earlier than Fri?
day. All ibe States will be represented in the
mass meetlnir of the Liberal Republicans.
About half the States have notified the
Reunion and Reform Mass Convention that
delegates would be sent to it.
Yesterday it was ascertained that hotel ac?
commodations for fifteen hundred had been
engaged lu Cincinnati and Covington, and the
more central hotels were rejecting all further
applications, while others more remote bad
room enough and to" spare. Private citizens
are coming to headquarters and effe ria g to
entertain delegates. Many will be provided
tor In this way. Steamboats, sleeping cars
and lodging-rooms. Improvised by hotels, will
make alarie provision for surplus attendance.
All railroads centering In the city will run ex?
cursion trains early and late, at convenient
interva'8, durlug convention week. In this
way hotel accommodations In neighboring
towns can be made available.
Senator Schurz will arrive Sunday, and be
the guest of Judge Stallo at Mount Auburn.
On Monday night he will go to Washington
Plattorm, an immense beer saloon on Elm and
Court streets, where he will meet his German
fellow-citizens in a social way. All the Ger?
man musical societies will be there. The re?
ception will be simple, and without expense,
and this General 8churz prefers. The Ger?
mans will be here in swarms from New York,
Mllwaukle, Sf. Louis,?Cleveland and Colum?
bus. In regard to this convention, Influential
Germans and Americans think that to give lt
the fullest moral force, lt will be necessary that
much balloting be avoided, that all arrange?
ments be made before-AIay 1, and "that the con?
vention be unanimous. Then nothing would re?
main but to get the Democratic executive com?
mutee not to call a convention. Exposition
Hall will accommodate eight thousand per?
sons. The committee says no one will be ad?
mitted to either convention without a ticket,
which will have to be obtained Monday and
Tuesday next. Arrangements have been
made for tables and chairs for one hundred
members of the press. Assignment of news?
papers to positions will be made by a commit?
tee of the representatives of the press on Mon?
day or Tuesday. The Western Union and
Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph Companies
have each several wires to each portion of the
hall, and will dispatch from there during con?
vention. The press accommodations can be
increased to afford room for two hundred If
necessary. Exposition Hall ls decorated sim?
ply and Inexpensively. Portions are set apart
for ladles, and barriera are provided to separ?
ate outsiders from delegates. The elly will
contribute a police force to keep order.
GOSSIP AMONG THE LIBERALS.
Senator Fenton on the Best Candidate
for President.
[From the Chicago Times.]
WASHINGTON, April 18.
I had an interview with Senator Fenton to?
day, fie authorized me to say, SB a practical
test of what he means by "a statement train?
ed In Republican ideas,'' that Illinois presents
the names of three statesmen-Palmer, Davis
or Trumbull-either one of whom, If nomi?
nated by the Liberal Republican C invention
at Cincinnati, will satlsly him and enlist his
earnest support. In addition to t'iese. the
senator adds that Mr. Greeley, of New York,
or Mr. Charles Francis Adams, of Massachu?
setts, would fill the bill, and that either, If
nominated, would have his be>t efforts to
secure his election. Mr. Fenton expresses
the opinion that either of the gentlemen
named ls eminently qualified for the high and
responsible duties ol President; that each one
has been trained In principles, sentiments and
manners consonant with the highest forms
and Meas of Republican government in the
broadest and highest sense. After carefully
canvassing the gentlemen named above, and
the tickets which have been discussed a? like?
ly to be nominated at Cincinnati, Senator
Fenton r-ald: "There ls no doubt that Davis
and Andrew G. Curtin would make a strong
and popular ticket."
Governor Palmerand the Liberal Move
menr.
Governor Palmer; of Illinois, made a speech
at'Sptlngtleld on the evening ot the *23d In?
stant, on the political issues of the duy, in
Which he said he, with Trumbull, was in lavor
of "local government!!," and thanked the sena?
tor for coining that sentence. He was in favor
of the people of the Slates regulating their
own affairs and administering their own laws
without any interference on the part of the
general government. He then said he was
not in favor of any man for President who did
not respect the laws ot the States or of the
United States, and he will support no mau
wno will not assert that at all times the mili?
tary shall be subordinate to the civil power.
The Work Goes Bravely On!
To show how the Liberal movement ls
working, H. H. Helper, in North Carolina,
redlciB twenty thounand majority by tliat
tate lor t he Cincinnati nominees. In Brook?
lyn, Sew York, a call for a meeting to send
delegates to Cincinnati ba? been "signed by
Theodore Tilton, Samuel Sinclair, Sigismund
Kaufman and a dozen or more equally Influen?
tial persons, while In Camden, New Jersey, an
enthusiastic meeting was held on Monday,
calling upon all cliizens to burv paat differ?
ences aud unite on the Cincinnati nominees.
A Venerable Delegate to Cincinnati.
Among the delegates to be sent from New
York City to Cincinnati ls a venerable arm?
chair for the use ot the presiding officer of the
convention. This chair was given bs the pub?
lic authorities to the late Protessor W. P.
Deweee, or Philadelphia, the father of Dr
Dewees, of New York City, at the time when
some ot ihe old furniture of Independence
Hall was distrifluted. The peculiar interest
attaching to lt arise? from the fact that it was
the chair In which John Adams was aitiing at
the moment he signed the Declaration of In?
dependence.
The Woman Question.
Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker addresses a'
letter to B. Gratz Brown on the subject of wo?
man's admission to the Cincinnati Conven?
tion. 8he says, among other things, "I can?
not venture to predict concerning coming
events, but my conviction ls very profound
that no party will be permitted to succeed that
tenores ibe rights and refuses the assistance
of hali the citizens of the (Jolted States, they
being tax-paying. law-abiding and patriotic
citizens equally wlih their enfranchised broth?
ers Our national committee wish to send
delegates to all- the conventions, and as the
one you largely represent meets earliest, I
take the liberty to Inquire what reception we
should probably meet at your hands ?"
An Anti-Grant Soldiers' Movement.
A circular dated Washington, April lSih,
signed by General H. A. Barnum, commander
ot the Grand Army of the Republic for New
Tork State, General Judson Kilpatrick, of
New Jersey, and General W. F. Bartlett, of
Massachsette, has been put forth suggesting
that a soldiers1 and pal.oral convention be
held tn New York in Hav next, to formally
call upon the Philadelphia Convention to
nominate a candidate otber than President
Grant.
THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON.
\ The Politicians Anxious-The President
Deceived as to the Strength ot the
Iliberal Movement.
A Washington dispatch, of Thursday, lo the
New York Tribune syas :
No subject ls more talked of In Washington
than the Cincinnati Convention. Everybody
ls Inquiring of every one else what will b?
done next week, and no one knows, or ls wil?
ling to venture an- opinion. It is true that
most of the Liberal Republicans have a choice
among the candidates who have been named,
and do not hesitate to express It in private
conversation; but nonecf them are very tena?
cious ol their oplnlonei and nothing h?s oc?
curred here to give the least ground for the
hope, freely expre?sedj? by forae administra?
tion members of Congress, thnt the Cin?
cinnati Convention will break up in a
row and rplU Into fragments. Reports from
the White House show a total lack of appreci?
ation of the political situation. A senator
who called to-day says he found (he President
jubilant. Somebody had written him from Il?
linois that the Liberal movement in that State
had no depth, no hold upon the people, and
that the State would stand by him with forty
thousand majority. A Republican member of
Congress from the same Stare assured the
President that his correspondent was right,
and that the Liberal leaders in that State were
wholly without following. When bis atten?
tion was called to the fact that among the
Liberals were several whose support he con?
sidered very valuable, if not essential to his
own success in the fall of 1870, be had no
further remarks to make. In one county In
Illinois, ll ls reported, that the entire Repub?
lican committee baa Joined the Cincinnati
movement, leaving no one to call the Admin?
istration County Convention.
The Washington correspondent ot the Balti?
more Sun, writes :
There have been some developments made
here within a day or two ot political move?
ments, whleh are calculated to disturb the
harmony of the Clnclnoatl Convention. Some
of the friends of Mr. Trumbull, backed by the
Chicago Influence, now openly declare that If
Justice Davis is nominated for President, they
will refuse to support him. They do not go
quite so far as to make the nominal lou of Mr.
Trumbull an ultimatum, but that is quite ap?
parent. The latter's attendance In the Radical
caucus last night excites suspicion. Tb^ Dem?
ocrats, on the other band, are quite unani?
mous In Congress against the nomination ol
Charles Francis AdamB, which, lt ls said, is
^proposed by Mr. Belmont on behalt of some of
the New York World. They'Say that If Adams
ls oominaled the National Convention of the
Democracy will nominate a straight ticket
and iguore the Cincinnati nominees. There
seems to be more unanimity among the
Democrats In Congress in favor of Davis
and Curtin (ban any other ticket.
_ The Latest.
WASHINGTON, Sunday Night, April 28.
The interest In the Cincinnati Convention is
everywhere on the increase. The latest tele
grams from that point report the prospects ol
Adams improving. The Louisanno, Texas
and Alabama delegations are unanimous- In
his favor. Senator Schurz left for Cincinnati
yesterday, and Senators Fenton, Trumbull
and Tipton will follow to-morrow.
A SPIRITED-BETTER.
Citarles Francis Adams Defines His
'Position.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican pub?
lishes the following:
As arranged many weeks ago, Mr. Adams
sailed on his return to Europe yesterday with
his wife, In ordet to be ready for the meeting
of the Geneva arbitration. Before he left a
gentleman Interested in the Cincinnati Con?
vention, and desiring that be should become
Its candidate, wrote him Inquiring as to his
views of the movement whlcfi it represented,
and suggesting that lhere should be some one
in attendance who could speak for him, to
which there came the following reply, with no
restrictions as to Its. publicity:
BOSTON, April 18, 1872.
My Bear Mr. Wells-I have received your
letter, and will answer it frankly. I do not
want the nomination, and coull only be In?
duced to consider it by the circumstances un?
der which lt might possibly be made. If the
call upon me were an unequivocal one, based
upon confidence -In my character earned in
fiublic Ute, and a belief that I would carry out
u practice the principles which I professed,
then Indeed would come a test of my courage
In au emergency; but, if I am lo be negotiated
for, uud have assurances given that I am hon?
est, you will be so kind as to draw me out ol
that crowd. With regard to what I under?
stand tobe the declaration of prluclples which
has been made, lt would be ridiculous in me
to staud haggling over them. With a single
exception ot ambiguity, I see nothing which
any honest Republican or Democrat would not
accept. Indeed, I should wonder at. anyone
who denied'them. The difficulty is not in
the profession. It lies everywhere only In
the manner in which they are carried into
practice. If I have succeeded in m iking my?
self understood, you will perceive tbat I can
give no authority to any one to act or to
speak tor me ia the oremises. I never hud
a moment's belief that, when it came to the
point, any one so entirely isolated as I am
from all political associatious ot any kind could
be made acceptable as a candidate for public
office; but I am so unlucky as to value tnat in?
dependence more highly than the elevation
which ls brought by a sacrifice ot lt. This is
not Inconsistent with the sense of grateful
recognition of the very flattering estimates
made of any services in many and high quar?
ters; but I cannot consent to pendle with
them for power. If the good peop e who meet
at Cincinnati really believe that they need

wbo had gone thus far in life with his eyes and
ears wide open; and who bad with a compre?
hensive and phllTophlcal mind taken in and
assimilated everything tbat came within its
range. It 1B truly gratifying to listen to a man
who looks and acts as though he felt himself
master ot the situation; who knew Just what
be wanted to say, bow he should say it, and
why he said if. The subject of t he lecture was
'.Tue great Law of Compensai ion, or the Har?
mony of Creation"-a theme rich and almost
as vast as the universe Itself-was presented
in a manner th;it clearly indicated the lecturer
to be no neophyte in the art of thinking and

ous diction, vre think Mr. Cutler's lecture bas
nat been surpassed by any lecture before the
Lyceum.
