'flip Stiilo A Lively iirhl Over Ilie Supreme ourl lUuiti.siitni;, Aus. 1 The ilcpuhliean Slate '(invention will meet to morrow, in the Haling 'he House of liepresciitalivcs, for the purpose of nominating candidates lor State Treasurer and Judge of the Supreme Court. There promises to he a large attendance of outsiders, considerable interest being taken in the result of the Judgeship. Should the vote he taken on the Slate Trcas surer lirst, 5Ir. Maekcy's friends calculate upon liim receiving 1(17 votes.

To Mr. Henry they riiucede 2d votes all told. Of this number, tw have been instructed for Mr. Hull', a business yurtner of Mr. Henry, undone for Mr.

Isaac Wright, the Cashier of the Newport Deposit 'Company. All these gentlemen are located lien lit present, but it is hardly probable that Messrs. Hon" or Wright will allow their names to go before the Convention. The only chance Mr. Henry has, is in the event of the contest on the Judgeship descending into an angry tight, and that there will lit a spirited contest over that flic in already apparent.

Although but fttw delegate! have as yet arrived, it is known that they are pretty evenly divided among Judge i.utlcr, of Chester rounly I'axson, of l'hila ilelphia, and (lonlon, of Jefferson county, with tin chances slightly in favor of the lirst named. A thorough canvass of the Slate was made by the friends of all three, and the result is that neither is strong enough to control the organization of the Convention, and strange to say there is as yet no aspirant for the honor of presiding over the Convention. Judge lluller is repref nted hy ex Senalor Waddcll, of Chester, Thom is Cooiicr, the present candidate for Senatorial honors in the ch.w are. Chester District, and Mr. Moore, (d' the Chester county Republican.

Messrs. William II. Kemble, Will. If. Mann and (ieneral llinghani appear for Judge I'axson, while (ieneral Harry White is doing the honors forjudge Cordon.

Judge I'axson seems to have the least number of delegates, though he starts with 22 from Philadelphia. To this can be added the delegates from Ilucks, Northampton, part of Luzerne and jirohably Tioga. Judge liutler will have the delegates from Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, the counties in the centre and the north and northeastern part of the Slat.1, and Judge Cordon will fume in ith solid vote from the west and northwest. Though Judge I'axson has the lowest representation in the Convention, it is more than likely that his friends will control the nomination. Allegheny, in the event of Judge (iordon failing to receive the highest number of votes, ill undoubtedly fall in line with the Philadelphia delegation as a return for the compliment paid her in supporting Mr.

Maekey. On the other hand, should it be found iiiiKis.sihle lo nominate Judge I'axson, his friends ill unite with those of Judge Cordon, mid this coalition, it is thought, will be sufficient to nominate him. The tight between lliitlcr and I'axson has been a hitter one, and, it is said, that under no circumstances will the friends of one support the other. Mr. Maekcy's friends are desirous of keeping out of the judgeship fight, and will make a strong eli'ort to have the Treasury question disposed of lirst.

They claim that they have not, in the primary elections, Attempted to interfere with it, and, in support of their claim, quote the result in Allegheny county, the home of Maekey, hich has in strueted her delegates for Judge Cordon, and in the Dauphin district, the home of Senator Cameron, the delegation of which has been instructed forjudge liutler. Itussell Krrclt, Chairman of the Stale Kxecu i.ive Committee, is on hand, and at noon he will all the Convention to order, after hich a ten, jiorary President will be chosen, and committees on contested seats, if there he any, resolutions and permanent organization will be selected. All adjournment unlil afternoon will then he hail, so that the committees will have opportunity for work. I.titer. HAUKlBlsuiMi, Aug.

The Parker's Lauding crude oil market, which governs that of Pittsburg, opened this morning with sales at $A7. This did not last long and prices began to tumble. Advices received from Parker's this morning slated that the new Thomnson well, recently struck, was drilled further into the sand last night, when it com uieiiced spouting, and is now reported doing barrels. Last night another well was struck, una in five hours the yield was 2(rt barrels. The Satterlicld well, which ni struck, last Saturday, did barrels, tank measure in twenty four hours.

When the fact of these big strikes became noised about among the oil speculators prices lliictunted all day. Private telegrams received evening announced that oil iiad been oll'ercd at $1.10 per harrc'i, and no buyers. In all probability oil will go down to jl per barrel. From figures compiled from the nnri il of 111 is city I give you the quotations of crude I and refined oil for the years lSiill to l.s7;i, inclusive, for Aug. 11.

In l.Silii crude oil sold at 11; cents; refined, KU cents. In 1870, crude, cents; refined, 23 cents. In 1.S71, crude, 12 cents; refilled, 24 cents. Ill W2, crude, yjnts reliueu, lyceiiis. in i.

In the oil country money is much more to get than tankage, and many owners of wells will be compelled to let the oil into Oil Creel', for ant of a place to put it in. Many speculators predict that oil will reach ft to morrow, and possibly eighty to ninety cents before the week closes.

Washington, Aug. 12. The Chrnnitli denies, mi behalf of Colonel Hughes, Kepnldicau candidate for Coventor of Virginia, that he has ever solicited from the President, or that the latter promised to give the patronage, use and aid of the administration to cany the Slate tlie P.cpublicans at the approaching clcctiot'. Col. Hughes expects to make the canvass squarely upon the principles and doctrines set forth ill the Lynchburg platform, and let the people decide the question at the polls, free from Federal interference or patronage.

Severe One of the severest storms ever known to this section of country visited Washington last night, rain for several hours falling in perfect torrents. Much damage was done to properly throughout the city. The sewerage was not siillicicnt to carry oil' the water, and in many streets water stood over a foot deep. The loss to merchants along Pennsylvania avenue and in the lower part of the city by water filling up cellars and basements will be considerable. The llefeat of (he Speculators.

The Treasury officials are much pleased with the defeat suffered by the clique of gold la tors in New York who undertook to force up the price of gold. A private letter received from a well known banker says (he Jay Could King lost between $2,000,000 and hy their operations in gold, and that some lime will ellipse before there will be another similar movement at least by the same persons ho figured in the recent one. There is a small but steady increase in the amount of gold in the Treasury, and Secretary Richardson regards the condition of his department as being very satisfactory. '1 lie lIiiHHey Murder.

As it was expected that this meeting would he a test of the strength of the respective candi dates for the State Sciialorship, there as a gooi representation from the difi'cnnt wards, I roughs and townships in the county. The Com I House was filled, a considerable portion of the audience being Republicans who had come for the purpose of itnessing the fun. The meeting was called to order by Daniel Lrmentrotit, Chairman of the County Committee, who took occasion to deliver one of his charaeteiistie speeches in which lie in deavored In prove that Democracy as not dead, notwithstanding the hard blows, and over whelming defeats that it had experienced last year. After Dan had spoken for over half nil hour, and had put to sleep a number of the parly leaders who were sitting within the Par, II.

C. G. Reber, nominated William Heins, of Washington township, for permanent chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Heins was unanimously elected. The following Secretaries were elected Win.

Mishler and others participated. iter the decision had been left to a vote of the house, which appeared to be nearly equally divided, preponderating, however, in favor of Col. Davis' man, Col. Hawman, it as resolved on motion of Sheriff Mishler to submit the question to the decision of the Secretaries. This only resulted in additional confusion and after the wrangle had continued for a quarter of au hour longer, victory settled upon the Davis banner, by the Sec claries agreeing upon Col.

Hawman by a vote of 1 to 3. This result win hailed with great applause by the Davis men. During the settlement of this difficulty one of the Vice Presidents was standing alongside of tho President, Mr. Ileitis, and increased the confusion by interrupting him with occasional remarks. Jack Darlington moved several times that the Vice President sit down and be quiet, but the motion was in every case un heeded.

Dan. Krmcntrout stated that he was requested by Dr. Liggett to state that Mr. James had been nominated by some person outside of the borough. This resulted in a bitter controversy between Krnieiitrout and George Smilh, who had nominated Mr.

Hiadley. I 'inal disposition was made by appointing Henry I ls terly. Trouble in the camp was also occasioned by the nomination of two men from Hobcson township, which gave rise to all angry dispute. ne of the names was finally withdrawn. 1', W.

Lauer moved that none but members of the Committee be admitted to the Committee room. Dan. F.rmcniroiit desired any gentleman to have the privilege of entering who might be sent for. Kx Shcrilf Albright thought if there as net talent enough in the Committee to draft resolutions then the Comniillec had heller be discharged. Mr.

Lauer's resolution was furl her discussed by Messrs. Shatter and Dallas Schoencr, when it as at last agreed to. F. W. Lauer moved that in the absence of the Committee Col.

J. D. Davis address the meeting. Col. Daviseaino forward and spoke for twenty minutes with ajiimation, his remarks being in the old Democratic vein of charging Republicanism with being the cause of all the evil in the land.

The impaign of last full, and its results, was also reviewed, and the speaker endeavored to make his hearers believe that there is still some life, and energy left in the Democratic party. II. Willis Hlaii'l followed in a short and commenced by saying "that he felt sonic delicacy in attempting to entertain a Democratic meeting;" II. C. G.

Reber was the nil. speaker. A. S. Sas aman followed in GermunJ While relating an anecdote in which the sen tence several times occurred "Make room, for the Democrats arc coming," the officers of the Court entered with the prisoners and convicts of the present term of Court, and inarching tip the aisle put tliein in the prisoners' dock.

This having occurred soappropos to the anecdote created quite a sensation and considerable laughter. Dr. A. Smith, of Lower Heidelberg, and K. II.

Shearer, also delivered speeches. Three of the candidates for the Senatorship having spoken there was a loud call for Hon. II. II. Schwartz another of the candidates, but ln fore he could respond he was choked off by Jesse (i.

Hawley, moving that Hon. II. W. Smith, one of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention, address the meeting. Mr.

Smith responded, but as he was sull'cring from ill health he could only be heard a short distance from here he was standing. Mr. Smith continued speaking until the return oi the Committee on Resolutions who reported llieir chairman, William Rosenthal.
