An analysis of the Republican repre. lentatlon In the national convention, on the basis of tha presidential vote of 1880, shows that from President Arthur's own state a decided majority of the lelegates to the convention are opposed to his nomination; that the overwhelming preponderance of the lelegates from thedlstrlcts giving Republican nmjorl ■ ties Is for Blaine; that twelve Republican districts and four Demooratlp districts are for Blaine; •hat five other districts send Edmunds or anti-Arthur delegates, while but Ave Republican districts send delegates for Arthur, tho large majority of his support com Ing from ten Democratic districts; that In the Blalue districts there is an aggregate of 62,773 Republican majorities, against 17,456 Republican majorities In the Arthur districts.

'I Qvebec, June 8.—John C. Eno, the New York defaulter, arrested while about sailing as a passenger in the Vancouver, was brought before Judge Feseier, of the queen's bench, on a writ of habeas corpus issued on Saturday night. Eno came into court accompanied by Gale, the high constable of Quebec. There was a large array of legal talent on both sides, among Ahom were John Hallams; the deputy marshals of the United States, who watched the case on behalf of the government; Mr. Hubbard, of New York, who watched the interests of the National bank, and others. Dunbar, of Quebec, on behalf of the accused, asked for Eno's release, principally on the gRund of the informality and illegality of the warrant issued for his arrest, which ho said was so defective that the magistrate ought to be arrested for issuing it. Other counsels for the defense followed ia same strain. Davidson, queen's counsel,of Montreal, appeared on behalf of the defrauded bank, and resisted the application for the discharge of the accused. He held that the warrant was legally issued, and cited copious authorities in support of his argument. After some cross firing between tho opposing counsel, the judge adjourned the court for a few hours, in order to have time to consider tho case. On resuming he recapitulate! the 'Case and the arguments of counsel, and declared the warrant so fatally defectivo that he was obliged to discharge the prisoner, which he did. Bissonnette, the constable who made the arrest, then exhibited another warrant for Eno, but the judge threatened him with punishment for contempt if ho dared to execute it in the presence of the court.

Chicago, June 8.- The national Republican convention of 1884 has drawn together a larger assemblage of active party workers than'evcr seen before in the history of the party. There are about three managers to every delegate, while clubs, societies, private excursion parties and "lookers on in Venioe" have been arriving steadily in the city .for the past several days. All the hotels, boarding houses and lodging apartments in the city are taxed to their utmost capacity, while private residences have been thrown open for the accommodation of prominent men from various parts of the country. The streets are crowded, the hotel lobbiM are packed with "workers," who buttonhole delegates, while at the headquarters of «b« various candidates the soene is one of bustle and animation. The Blaine* men were oatop yesterday and went to bed with flags tnBhtr bands and cheers in their mouths. They had been Jubilant all Shy long; there had been several important delegates secured from the enemy's camp, and Blaine seemed to be the coming man. In fact, for a few hours the tide waa running that way pretty strongly. But toward night there was a conspicuous number of arrivals at the hotels who were known to be in the interest of Arthur, and these gentlemen, by their confident bearing and looks and words of assurance, in a measure stemmed the Blaine current, and for a time contrived to make thinks look even. It is adhiitted on all sides that the contest upon the early ballots has practically tier rowed "down to a face: to face contest between Arther and Blaine, with their votti$ forces almost evenly balapced. About 890 vWee will probably be cast on the first ballot for each of these two leaders. Then combinations with the forces of Ijogan, Edmunds and Sherman will have to be made at onoeAiy Blaine or Arthur, or the prise will fall to the stable in which dark horses are kefDt in training. Chicago, June 8.—Senator Warner Miller and Whitelaw Reid Walked in the Palmer house lobby with serious»countenance. It was evident they were disturbed about something.

The Tribune says: "If the break shall come first in the Arthur following, Blaine will certainly receive enough of his votes to be nominated. If the break shall come first in the Blaine ranks, Arthur will get enough of his delegates to give the nomination. The feeling among many Blaine men will be: Let Arthur have it and make the race. If he is defeated the blame will rest on his hoad and those of his officeholders who have pressed him on the convention. The whole Blaine vote cannot be transferred to any dark horse.

They have already captured two delegates who have been charged to the Blaine account, and have received assurances of several more after the first ballot. What adds to the strength of the senators is the fact that Mr. Palmer has just entered upon his six years' term. Of course both senators profess to be merely interested, and Mr. Conger indignantly repelled the accusation that he was working in the interest oi any one man or candidate. Mr. Conger has become so grave and dignified that those who were wont to enjoy his jokes before he entered the senate are convinced'that his protestations of disinterestedness now go to make one of the largest jokes of his life.
