GRENADA, MISS., SATURDAY DECEMBER 22, 1883. NO. 22 WASHINGTON LETOiS From our regular Coireapomlent. WAsniHQTON, D. 0., Dec. 8,1883. The first step in the Presidential cam paign of next year was taken Wednesday wlieu the Republican executive cammii teemet in this city and selected the time and place for holding the National Re publican convention Pi nominate candi dates for President and Vice-president The basis of representation was Bottled at the last meeting of the committee of lour delegates at large from each state, and two delegates from each congression al district. He nut or Frye asked that b might be changed so that hut one dele gates shall be elected arbitrarily from each congressional district, and another delegate shall be dies, n lor each u nn thousand republican votes in the state, the delegates at large to remain as they are.Senator Frye's prop' Siiion failed to meet the approval of the majority, There was a full attendance of com mittee members, and the disputed points were the place of holding the convention and ets chairmanship. Senators Logan, Sabin and Secretary Chandler Frye were candidates for the latter, and Sarato ga Chautauqua, Philadelphia, Indianap olis Chicago, and OinciunaHi, claimed ; the convention, the sharpest of the con flict being between the two latter places. Chicago won on the fourth ballot. The third of June is the time appointed lor the meeting of the convention, and Sen ator Sabin ot Minnesota w.;s umimiituus i by elected chairman, i Apropos of Presidential nominations, since Mr. Blaine return to Washington he Iihs said his recent letter upon the I subject of u distiibutioii of the surplu— revenue was wholly misunderstood, and I that it does not mean lie is a candidate I for the Presidency He complains that. I he cannot express himselfc o [question without subjecting [die accusation of being on ilia lookout [for the Presidency, and lias furthur said lie would not accept tile nomination it It were tendered him. I Everything that M>. Blaine utters a Iwakens an echo, and I will repeat to you |o,ne of his remarks on Democratic Pres lA-ot-makin y. He says lie regards ■thrum Hewitt ot N. Y the best hiau fm ■lie Democrats to nominate, blit believes ■he nomination itnposihle, because New ■ ork would not support him with a sol ■d vote. He considers Col. Morrison oi III. a politician of large ability, pointing In the canvass he made tor Kerr and for ■ irlisle, and thinks he may be the Duiti fcratie nominee. Mr. Blaine lias no res Kct for the McDonald scheme but says ■orrison is a Union soldier with a iio'e ■lough his lungs, made by a coiifeder Be bullet, and that lie will go into the Bemocratic convention with the solid Bte of Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky ■nnesee, and perhaps Georgia. There He many others of Mr Blaine's way of Hnking. Mr. Morrison bus been told Hen lately that Carlisle's election to ■Speakership, makes him the IJem Batio nominee for. President whether Bv York wants it or not.

While the past week has been wanting in irtartllng events, which could couvulse society as a whole, yet it has not been devoid of interesting incidents, that if not nine-day-wonders, have at least i spired gossip and comment for more than twenty-four hours, in the various circles interested therein. To touch on theatrical topics lirst, Irv ing and La Terry have become Quakers, and Philadelphia is at present jubilant over the honor it fancies paid it by the first production of Ilumlet-Hionsidered by Henry, hi*greatest role-within her bor ders. Opinions differ extensively, us to the success of his efforts. In the however, the verdict seems to be, while his unpleasant seen at their worst, and far more satis factory assumtions, as a whole, of the "moody Dane" have been furnished by native artists, yet in detatched passages and even entire scenes; his excellencies have been displayed to a marked degree than in any of bis previous impersona tions, and that his claims to the position he occupies before the publio, have been undoubtedly advanced. As for the Opheliaof .Miss Terry, she is universally pronounced, completely charming as the "mad maiden," and her performance is admitted by all to approach neurlv the highest ideality. The war of the Opera Houses continues ou paper, anil through rumors only. Each impressario is reported as confi dent of Iiia rival's speedy retirement from the contest, and in all probability neither of them lias the slightest inten tion of so doing. With literal, and jeal ous millionairs by dozens, arrayed on both sides, an admitted defeat may be set down as impossible. At present it can be safely said that Mapleson is mak ing the more money, but Abbey the more reputation, and as the latter lias various other irons, nearly all of which arc successfully heating, he can amply afford to possess his soul in patience. "•Storm-Beaten," Buchanan's poetic drama at the Union Square Theatre, is ridiculous in plot, bombastic in language and senseless in situations, but good act ing, and a most superb setting will com bine to make it a pronounced success. The Windsor Theatre is no sooner lust to us by fire, (no lives being lost, under Providence) than the Bijou Opera House (far from complete) opens its doors for the first time. It is devoted to burlesque and opera-bouffe, and has Scored a bit with its initial attraction, n version oi Offenbach's "Orpheus aux Eulers." Not a week goes by that a new theatre is not threatened, and as nearly all are located on utterly impracticable sites, we have ceased to be interested in the mors, lieport lias it that a daily paper keeps as standing matter. "Haverly is to build a new Theatre on "There is no truth in the rumor that Haverly is to liavo a new theatre -St." .S'i nun c. inv, e bun trovato. Trade is booming; (the word is accept ed now, f believe in even critical circles.) Stocks, in wtiich everyone is interested, have puzzled the wisest by their fluctuations; hut the general feeling seems to be that nearly everything is bound to bo a purchase soon, if not at unco, and the dim suspicions of financial trouble are completely banished. To L# sure, many who were aiming tor a ready made fortune at a stroke, are contenting themselves with efforts for a comfortable income; but that is a consummation de voutly to ho wished, oil all accounts. With the approach of the holidays, the shops blaze and sparkle in never before seen, and the voice of the toy merchant is heard in the land, more loudly than memory can recall. A Bos ton visitor remarked the other day, that a stroll through Fourteenth Street,' from Broadwuy to Sixth Avenue, of a pleasant utteriioon, nearly reached his ideas of a liberal education, and I feel inclined to agiee witii him.

When discovered he was calmly seated in the picture gallery ip the very midst, of gor geoui costumery, fnirlv carried away with the elegance of tile surroundings and the fascinating dance music of Lan der's orchestra. In explanation of his presence he said that being a stranger in the city lie thought he would drop in and take a look at Mr. Vanderbilts range.
