A gigantic, murderous plot on the part of the Chicago anarchists to blow up the board of trade building, several other largo buildings, and to murder Judge Grinnelï, Judge Gary, Inspector Bonfleld and otber prominent persons engaged in the prosecution during the celébrate! trial of the anarchists, was nipped in the bud by InspoctorBonfleld, Chlef Hubbard, Lieut. Elllott and the central detectives on the 17th inst. The meam to be used in the Wholesale murder and destruction of property was the anarchists' weapon, dynamlte, and enough of the erplosive was found to blow up half the city. Three of the conspirators arealreadyundèr arrest and are confined at the city hall Kverybody supposed that the trouble wlth the revolutionary spirit among the anarchlels had died out, but it seems a conspiracy has boeu brewing aniong the friends of Spies, Parsons aiul tbe rest, and a dlabollcal jilot wu hatched and hundreds of Uves were to be taken. Inspector Bonflc'.d, it is said, has been airare of tho conspiracy for some time, but waitd until the evidence was complete. Several detectives were ordered to meet at the central s' at ion at two o'clock on the morningofthe lithinst. There they donned oisguises, and in oompany wlth Bonileld aud fcUliott pi'ooceded to Deering street station, where a reserve force was on hand l'ho foro procecded to the corner of Thirtytnird street aud Ashland avenue, near where oue of the leading conspirators rosided. It was hoped to catch a dozen or more anarohists at the house, but only two men wero found. One of the suspected men was arrestad as he carne f rom the house about duyliglit. Then the oflicers entered the dwt'lling and anotherconspirator was found. Lndr In pillow was a knife and revolver, aud upo n searolnng the room twelve sticks Qf d.vuamlte were fouud. The offleers next visitPd a house on (uinn street, and another of the nuspeotetf ones was arrested. A large quuntlty of dynamite was also found in this place. Aniong the men arrested wasone of those wno was under arrest soon after the Haymarket massacre, and subsequently released. The others were prominent aaarchists during the trial. It is suted that about 20 ermled men were in the conspiracy and hey were, at a certain hour afer uAidniht to beat the homes of Ciyiuu,ill, Uary, üonflelá, Frank Walkev, Oe. Stiles and others prominent Hj t(f itroseoutlou. Dynamite was to be piaoed beueatli the houses of these, and was to be touched off simultaneously. The board of trude was also to bè blown up at the same time. Further arrests will probably bring to light an even greater antioipatd bluody horror. Jnspeitor Bonñeld says hs. iften know the couspirators, and tha adóJUanal arrests will be made. The nolïce observe the si rlotest 9oc.rf.y in the matter, but Inspector BonHcJd. Wa induoed to say to the Uuttea Prestí representative : '■JuJh-os Uviunell aud Gary were to be blowu un by these follows, and that is all I WiH say, You may add however, that we liavu boen aware of this diabolical plot for some time, and I think there will be anothBr Wholesale hauging. The explosión at the Flayinarket could not be compared this. Hundreds of lives would certainly have been sacrlficed had we not discoyefed it." Aiiiericau. Party C1K Tho e„x('cutivf. commjttee oí the National Aiiuri,-.iw u.irty ha isaued the following oall, A ttaliouiil couvention of the American party vvill be held in Washington on the Hth of August, 1SS8, for the purpose of noaUnatlne raudidates for president and vico president aud for the trausaetion of such uf its business as may probably come beforo it.

Sharp saya that, in all probability, the platform to be adopted will not differ essentiaUyfrom that adopted at Philadelphiulastyear. In all its ini])ortant features the present system of tariff will no doubt be iudorsed and the tomperance question will no doubt bo indorsed and the temporalice question will not llkely be touched upon.
