dei& of Sobworts wu on
'tionnoed Lr>otb Houmb to- ipoeobM
soro mado' by Hont James A. Campbell, of Pena
eylvacia (wbo offered the resolatl&is in the Hoose),
tfr. tfoPberson, Ur. btevens, and others, and in
the Senate by Senator* Cameron, Seward, King,
and others.
The Sexgeant-at»Arms took possession of tho
body this morning, and is making preparations
to escort it to Beading, bp the early train, at 6
o’clook A. U., to-mgrrow. A number of membon
and personal friends of tbo deoeased wiU aoeom
pany tho remains of this lamented and venerable
man.' Meesrs. Train, of Musaehuntts, Nixon, of
New Jersey, Hiokman, Cameron, and Covode, of
PenaiylTania, and Morris, of Illinois, have signi
fied their intention to acoompany the family to
Beading for the purpose of parHalpatinjg in the
funeral ceremonies whloh are to take place, in that
: city on Saturday. . ,
At the time of hia death, Major Sohwarts was
surrounded by his wife, his two daughters, and
two of his eons, and during all of his severe Illness
was oonstautly attended by his nephew, A. Jordan
Sohwarts, E*q>, assistant librarian of the House,
.and by. the distincnUshed physician, Hr. May.
The officers of the navy owe a deep d«bt of gretl*
tdde to Major Sohwarts,. for hfs consistent and
energetic support of the bill raising their pay,
whloh' has lately become a law of the land. Mr.
Speaker Pennington told me yesterday in conver
sation on this subject, that after his eleotion, when
he asked Major Sohwarts what committee ho de
sired to he placed upon, tbo prompt reply wrffe, “ I
want to he a member of the, Naval Committee In
order to do something for tho poor lieutenants.”
Bis appointment to that committee occasioned
some surprise time, but this was the secret
of it. He was also deeply interested in the bill for
the relief of Mr Benjamin Tyson, of Beading, and
was greatly mortified when, about ton days ago, be
foiled to seonre the.suspension ef the rales in order
to put this bill on its passage. It is to be hoped
that his many friends, in the Honee and in the
Senate, will take it np and pass it, If only oat of
respeot to his memory. lam glad to know that
Major Sohwarts will leave a handsome competency
to biß family. He always lived like a gentleman,
and, therefore, could have saved little out of his
salary. Ho was generous to a fault, and delighted
tn acts of charity.
Both Houses could adjourn to-day if they oared
to do so, but Senator Bigler, for the purpose of
making some capital oat of the tariff question, in
sisted upon opening that prolific subject yesterday,
and.the result has' beon an exoiting and what may
become a protrooted debate. If there was the
slightest prospect for the passage of a tariff bill this
movement might be applauded, and I would not
now refer to it in even terms of indirect censure if
It were not apparent that the only effect will be to
prolong the session for no good purposes Tin
Southern men in the Senate have resolved to give
u* no tariff. . Even those who expressed them
selves favorable to the Interests of Pennsylvania—
such men, for instance, as Mr. Bayard, of
Delaware, Mr. Polk, of Missouri, and General
Lane, of Oregon will never vote for the
Morrill bill. They offer us nothing but werds,
words On the othes hand, Ido not now think it
poliUo on the part ofthe Republicans to oppose the
granting ot the loan asked for by tho Secretary of
the Treasury. The old loan is about to become
and must be paid, and if Congress should ad
journ without voting tho twenty-one millions, the
President would immediately convene thorn. The
conference on the elvil and diplomatic hill was
agreed to' by the House prior to its adjournment
last evening, and no doubt the Senate will follow
the example this morniog. Several leadiog appro*
priation bills are now before committees of con
ference, who are expected to report to the two
houses this morning.
The Peoifio Railroad and the overland telegraph
go oyer to the next session. A fair homestead bill
■has passed both branches of the National Legisla
ture, and is now In the hands of. the President,
who may, if ho can find reasons enough, refuse
to sign it. That old public functionary” has
also in his hands the bill establishing a national
printing office. It is apprehended that he may
give it the death-blow, although it contemplates a
vast reform, on the ground that the work may fall
Into the hands of Mr. Wendell, whose printing
establishment, in this oity, is one of the most per
fect in the Union. Jefferson Davis has suooeeded
in putting Captain Meigs permanently at the head
of the Water Works, in defiance ofthe efforts of
the Administration to displace him. Great credit
is due to General George W- Hughes, of Maryland,
for his successful exertions in securing appropria
tions for the extension of the Capitol, and for other
important .District improvement, This
man, so well known as k brave officer during the
Mexican war, has won the esteem and confidence
of the-HouSe iu this, his first session, and wiU, I
hope, be handsomely re-elected by bis constituents
of the Annapolis Congressional district.
Tin Constitution publishes this morning the
Hon.<W*rren Winslow’* minority report from the
Covode Committee, and the Baltimore Sun an
nounces tho probable appointment of ibis gentlo
m*n as fall minister, under Mr. Burlingame’s late
bill, &t the Sardinian Court. So we go.
‘ The Administration circles are fail of rejoicing to
day they eonceive to be the certain defeat of
-Judge Douglas at Baltimore, and the &t*» of tbat
city, whloh has been the most subservient follower
of the Administration, repeats the cry of The
CowUitution (hat no one man (meaning Jndge
Dongles) should be permitted to distract the country
and the Democratic party, and calls upon the Con
vention to throw him overboard. These influences
forget, in Jholr blind hatred of the Senator from
Illinois, that their whole power has been exerted to
pntdown “ one man,” and tbat in proportion as
they have assailed him, the masses of the Demo
cracy have rallied to him. !At this hour of writing
It would seem that a large secession will take plaoc
in the event of his nomination, and it is given ont
that when the Southern delegates raise the stand
ard ofr revolt their forces will he swelled by volun
teers from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York,
Maine, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. In tbat
event Mr. Bayard and Mr. Whiteley, of Delaware,
will-probably secede, the second time, from the
regularorganfzfiticm. What a faroo is this l North*
era men, representing conservative constituencies
professing attachment to the Union, striking
hands with the enemies of the Union, and assisting
to precipitate a sectional contest npon the country.
The bitterness between the rival factions at Balti
more cannot be described, and it is expooted tbat
to>day will wliness a scene of exoitement In the.
Front-street Theatre, such as has no parallel in
the history of American politics. Some of the
weak-kneed friends of Douglas are waiting npon
him to induce him to withdraw from the race,
and name another candidate. If he should do so,
It wiU disappoint and mortify hundreds of thousands
of men. Ido not believe that he ever thought of
taking such a eta.' On the contrary, bitterly uhe
hasbeon'reviledShd meroilesely os he is being now
pursued, be never was so stroog before in the af
fections of the peaple. Ho may be cheated at Bal
timore, but I do not believe for a moment that he
has ever contemplated the desertion of his frionds
in this, his and their hour of triumph.
The contest between Rico and Heebner, and the
Secretary of War, relative to the marble columns
for the Capitol, has been finally settled in fovor of
the former, by both houses of Congress. This da.
oision is evidently in conformity with the merits
of the case, as the heoretary had on the 30 th June,
1850, accepted a proposition from Rice and Heeb
ner to furnish American marble, and had given
them time to present specimens from the different
quarries in our country. He had also ordered the
engineer to examine the quarries, and report upon
their oapaeity; and yet before the report of the
engineer, he suddenly ordered the columns from
another person out of one of the very quarries from
whioh specimens had been obtained. Theße facts
are shown in the publio documents, especially
House Report No. 566, in whioh the whole subject is
fully and satisfactorily investigated, The Secretary
was evidently misled In this matter, and doubtless
be will bo gratified that Congress has corrected an
error whioh was calculated to injure honost and
faitbfa! contractors. Occasiohao.

A PANIC IN THE CONVENTION*
Shortly aftar the MNmbllng,of the
this morning there wee quite t aoeoe, eeouioned
by the having in of the floor of the Convention,
immediately over the perquette, where ft had been
temporarily boarded over. There was an Intense
exoitement for o few minutes, and it was feared
that many woald be injured or killed. It wu
found, however, that the damage to thetfloor wu
of a trifling character, and tho Convention, after
an hour of rooess, to enable the workmen to repair
the damage, proceeded to business.
When Mr. Ludlow, of Sew York, in tho course’
of a request for a reoess to enable the New Yota
delegation to consult, said that unless the request
waa granted the delegation would retire. A dele
gate from the South moved that permission ba
granted them to leave. Mr. Luntow replied that
■' New York did not fallow bad precedents.” This
palpable hit at the seeeders brought down the
house.
FORGED TICKETS OF ADMISSION
To the Convention are as plenty as blackberries.
Mr. Butleh, of Massachusetts, brought the matter
before the Convention as a, matter ot privilege.
The forgeries are very well executed, although the
police would like to meke the acquaintance oi the
anthor. Some difficulty has arisen in oonneotion
with the admission of reporters to tho Convention.
One of your reporters, on presenting his tioket, wu
refused, and told the tickets wer,' changed. On
applying to the President he had lh e distinguished
honor of being politely snubbed by that gifted
man. It was only through Mr. McOlusket’s In
terference that ,he wu admitted to his seat.
„ The question of tiokets of admission is a very
embarrassing one, and haa oonsumed enough time
in the Convention to nominate Douolas and get
half through with the pldtform. There are so many
clamorous outsiders bore from all parts of the
country, who think their distinguished servloas
at primary election, deserve a passport Into the-
National Convention, that it is with dlfflonity ad

continued until'an ; early hoar in the morning.

were bitter, the burden of their song being de~

speeches were made by seeeral distinguished men
from all puts of the country. Mr. McOabdlxss,
of your oity; end president of the Keystone Club,
presided. Among the-speakers were Dr. 0. W.
Nbbibgeb, J. P. Owen, and E. W. Power, of your
city. The enthusiasm wee very great.
There is also a very large meeting being held
toraight notwithstanding the weather ia threaten

more Mouse screaming for Yarcev, who is their
prophet and leader.

it is only just to say that the Douglas men gen*

With the exception of the gallant nine and a half,
are under most admirable drill. I understand
that a number of them are debating tha propriety
of seoeding, in oese Massachusetts does so. His

the Administration men. Phillips, McK«Mn.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
The reports of the Committee on Credentials were
the subject of much speculation last night, and the
immense crowd that attended the floor and galle
ries to-day were drawn hither by tho Intense
rest felt in what is regarded as the taming' point
of the proceedings. The result is as I expected,
and as I informed the readers of The Press. The
majority report presented by Mr. Xrvm, a dele
gate 'from Missoari, is a simple statement of the
facts, and an equally plain series of resolutions to the
Convention. It admits the original Mississippi dele
gation, there being no contestants; the Pierre Soule
from Louisiana; it regulates the terms on
which the Arkansascontestants shall oomolu; ad
mits the original delegation from Texas, there bring
no contestants; admits Bayard and Wuiyelky, of
Delaware; rojeotsHALLETt,of Massachusetts, and
admits Chaffee In his place, Ballett having de
clined to go to Charleston, and as Chaffer was
his elected substitute; rejects Gardy, of Eighth
district, Missouri, and admits O'Fallon on tho
satne ground as on the previous case; adm Its the
John Forsyth delegation from Alabama, and the
Heroohe! v. Johnson delegation of Georgia. Tbo
report closes with a general recommendation to
admit all the rival delegations to seats In the Con
vention, the votes to be divided half and half.
From this, of coarse, Hallbtt and Gardy are
excluded.'
Stevens, of Oregon, presented the views of the
minority. They agreed with the majority regard
ing Texas, Mississippi, and Delaware. They pre
sent, also, nine resolutions. *Tbo first brings back
Hallet, the second does likewise by Gardy ; the
tbjjd gives Bay Ann and Whitelky seats; the
fourth admits the R. W. Johnson delegation from
Arkansas; the fifth admits the Bryan delegation
of Texas; tho sixth brings in the anti-Soule dele
gation of Louisiana; the seventh, tho L. P. Wal
ker delegation of Alabama; the eighth brings in
the anti-Johnson delegation of Georgia and the
ninth admits the Florida delegation that went to
Charleston, and refused to come in here as they
wore accredited to Richmond. Governor Stevens
read a long argument to sustain his position, while
Mr. Knuii relied simply on a statement of facts.
John S. Gittjng, of Maryland, made a minority
report “on his own hook 5 * differing from both
reports, but in parts agreeing with the minority.
Was signed by members of the oommitteo from
Oregon. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky,
■and California. He made a statement to the effect
that thorights of dotegationsto seats wore decided
in committee by the following vote: The Louisi
ana delegates by 16 to 9 votes, Alabama 14 to 11,
Georgia 13 to 11, Mississippi 23 to 2, Texas 10 to 6.
TUB NEW YORK DELEGATION
Agreed on the majority report last night, as I
learn, by a vory olose vote- thirty-six to thirty
four. It is stated to-day, and sinco tho seoond re
cess, that matters are in such a state that the posi
tion of evory member of the Now York delegation
is known Bare that of Richhond and CAaoER and
that they rofose to bo positive. This may bo one
of the thousand idle rumors afloat.
MB. CRAIGS, or MISSOURI,
Attempted to get up some resolutions this morning,
but he w|S overruled, being out of ordor.
A “ MERE YANKEE ” ALLY.
When Loring, of Massachusetts, was making his
violent secession speech and paying the Conven
tion the compliment of threatening to leave it, se
veral Southern members of Congress, inoludiog a
noted Senator, were in a private box. Mr. Loring
eaw them, and was observed te pay particular de
voirs to that box- As he gaged upon those South
ern legislators ho received inspiration from them.
He rose with hU theme, and after intimating that
he would secede, the Southern Congressmen turned
with a sneering laugh, evidently disgusted, and

Had the chiefs of the North Carolina, Virginia

desire for harmony, and believes they will go for
the available man— Douglas.
WHY BIOLSR 18 ABSENT.
- The reason given %r Benator Bigler’s absonoe
from the Convention, and the substitution of Gil
ubfil, is that he waa afraid to meet the oonsc
queuces qf his action, had he attended. He feared
m burst tip, and, knowing the will of Pennsylvania,
dared not seoedo; and withontorders from Slidell
was in a like predicament a* to remaining in the
Convention. Bo he pitched on Gilmore, who, it Is
reported, did not know what was in the resolution
he offered, *ot being able to completely master the
penmanship in' which it was written. When some
alterations were made in it before the Convention
he was equally in the dark. Borne of the Pennsyl
vanians say that Gilmore Is the best substitute Big
ler could have found, and that he is the next best
‘mao to the Senator in the State.
THE DOUGLAS COMMITTEE,
Which has Its room In the third story of Revbrdy

resource of, all those in donbt—those who, politi
cally speaking, are like Mahomet’s oeffin, end are

some extent, a kind of leader here, and is kept

Tire CIIEVAIIEB WYKOFF
Hu at last found a plsco into which his effrontery
eottld not carry him. He boasts how the arista
credo doore -of European society flew open at his
tooch or his Ingenuity; and it is a good sign that
the Democratic doors of the National Convention
nfared to admit him. Ho wu outside to-day, and
though his blandishments are not faded, nor his
free lost its varnish, he failed to make any police
offieer so mneh in lovo with himself as to forget hia
duty, probably he will eay that he preferred to
keep th* doer with the excellent aids of the Ser
geant-at-Arms.
THE PLATFOBU IJEOKEN.
Altar order had been restored to-day by a well
dlreotod cheer, whioh turned the etartling panic
into confusion, many jokes were made on the un
fortunate platform (over the parqnette) which could
not support Demooratio pressure.
“ Instead of the platform being broken up, it is
broken down,” says ene.
* Aye,” aaya another,-” we expooted the Con
vention to burst up, but did not think the Conth
would cave in!”
* ( Not at all,” quoth a third, “ the platform has
goatolean through!”
” Pshaw! it Is yon,” oried a fourth, “ that has
gone olean through tae platform !” (
“No platform,” pat in a 801 l and Brcrett re
porter, “con stand the weight of the Demooratio
party.”
V Vbat must your platform ho mado of,” said
another quill-driver, “ when It can hold Bell and
EvJkbtt.”
‘‘Not so rnuoh damage done,” said a seventh,
“only one plank of tho platform broken.
“ Whloh Is'It?” asked an oighth.
'. “The nlggor plank,” replied a ninth, and so
they contifinod until the hkll wu cleared.
TUB PROSPECT.
It U reported to-night that the New York dele
gallon'have decided by a small majority to supper
the majority report of the Committee on Creden
tials. If they adhere to this determination there
la little or no donht of the nomination of Douglas.
The whole issne seems to binge on the action of the

some heavy fighting there, all admit, also that
Uraga was dak en prisoner, but whether living or
dead, at present no one appears to know.' The
partisans of the Liberal Government say that the
mighty M iramon himself has been thrashed by
the DegoUado-Uragn-Oaravajal army before GuV
dalajara, This may be, but I am a doubter
on the subject of the fighting abilities of
the 'Constitutional foroes. Moreover, I shall
neve? be able to torgtve them for having permitted
Miramon, with his shattered army, to escape from
before this city last Maroh. A thousand good

walls«~by sallying forth the day of the retreat of
the discomfited army, could have harassed and
worried their rear, protected wholesale desertion,
and possibly hare captured guns and the greater
part of the train. lam really of opinion many of
the ohtefs on both sides do not wish to bring the
war to a close, for it is bread and butter, and glory
besides, to most of them. Still, it must bo con
fessed Ihat cardinal principles are involved in this
struggle, and that there is a bona fide revolution
afoot which must suoceed sooner or later. The
reactionary generals will fight against it as long
as they can make a good thing by so doing,
i. e. y they will Stick to tho ohuroh as long as it has
a dollar, end when they find it “all up” with their
party they will gracefully Buffer themselves to be
convinced and give in their adhesion to the new
order of things, receive plaoes, pensions, gratifica
tions, Ae . &o. Meanwhile, the unhappy country,
and all 1 the foreigners in it especially, aro being
rained, fcnd fill the elements of material prosperity
are going to the dogs. The ratification of the
MoLan<*uoampo treaty alone would tend to termi
nate this unhappy strife.
We have had quite a bit of excitement among
the Spaniards here, arising in this wise: The bark
Laura (upder Mexican colorsand with a Spanish
captain) $ was captured on tho coast of Africa,
many months ago, by a British cruiser, sent here,
condemned as a slaver, tbi captain sentenced to
death, atm the orew to imprisonment. Two days
■go the otptain was placed in capilla , (chapel,)
and hie execution was to have taken place yester
day. A strong petition, however, wasgotnpinhis
behalf, signed by nearly all the commercial houses,
eminent citizens and oonsuls, at this place ;
whereupon* the President commuted the sen
tence to tan years imprisonment (simple de
tention) in the fortress of San Juan do Uloa.
Thereupon,\all Spain, .moved by this meroy (not
being addioted to exercise it themselves,) flew into
a state of bewilderment, got a band of musio. and
serenaded the President and the town generally all
last night; and a beautiful night it was, if cloud
less skies add. the silver sheen of tho tropic moon
oould make a‘ night beautiful. Some may think
that ten yoars in Uloa is worse than death, but
(mark ypu, this is confidential) no one supposes
the unlucky slave trader will be in the oastle ten
months!

Clubs are springing up. like Jonah's gourd, all
over the country. In obsonre mud dbtast plaeee
we are daily learning of tho existed©# of sheas
circles, numbering in.their midat some "old Tro
jan"—en emigrant: from the Earopean clubs.—A
traveller labor Western’wflds would be "picked*
up" often; ancLwhore-he least expected it, if he
ret hunstlf up as an AohUleeafc tbe game. '
We have an amusing iteQf,la point, tirid of oir
friend Dr. Raphael, of LonlsvUle, Ky., (one of thb
prize bearers in the American Chess Congress,)
growing oat of an assumption of this ktod. He
was travelling on tbe Upper Mississippi, when he
observed the passengers absorbed over a chess
board. .Ofeonraehe looked over tEq game.- At
i:iclose the victor gaxrd around."like Alexander
or Morphy in quest of new. worlds to eosquer. As
the stranger had already vanquished some half
dozen competitors, he began to “-feel hia oata,V
and asked the Doctor to play; remarking
same time, that he—the stranger—waa an exeentfit
player, and unless the Doctor was a proficient it
was hardly worth hts while to dtmollsh him. The
Doctor waggishly said that the game might be
equalized by taking the odds of a queen This be
ing agreed upon, ihe Doctor won, bat with appa
rent diffioi»|»y The stranger fidgetted in his seat,
declared that he was not in his way, and
thought a que« n was most too great odds, but that a
rook would make it eisy work for him.
At it they went again, and another game was
scored to the Doctor, but with tho semblance of
greater labor than before. Then came the stereo
iypdd ■ excuses—“ Hadn't played with a good
player for a long time,’! “ had spoilt his play by
Srevions encounters with, .weaker players,” 4c.,
e. The Doctor mildly seggestea that perhaps
with a knight ho might hare better success. So
the knight was given, but with a similar result.
Then the stranger declared be *« couldn’t under
stand it,” bo " didn’t play with anything like his
usual force,” Ac , 4c. 9he Doctor acquiesced in
these opinions and blandly said that u a pawn and
two” would be about the thing. The issue
was as before, when the stranger re
marked that he was not in the habit of
playing at odds, but that at even play be
thought himself a match for ’most anybody. The
Doctorsaid ho had of winning, hot that,
emboldened by success, he would try an even
game. This time tho Doctor gave him a touch of
the bishopta gunbit, and finished h>s opponent In
a masterly style.' Then osme the Doctor's turn to
propose odds, and he offered to give *'• a piwn and
move—just for the fan of the thing.” He fared as
before,-when the Doctor gave, with like sueqeas,
the “ jawa and tno,” then the knight, the rook,
and finally the qnein ! - C
') bis all occupied tbe leisure of Mveral days, and
served to beguile the monotony of the passage, end
ing by making quite a lion:of the Doctor, and a
butt of tho pretentious stranger, among their-fel
low-passengers.
The truthi?, that chess is a dangerous game to
boast about, not only tor a mere pretender, but
even for a tolerably fair player. Infinite in its
combinations and variations—defying io these the
calculations of "mathematics—so vast and compre
hensive in Its nature, that, uulike the exact eoieocee,
the human mind cannot wholly grasp or fathom it
—(even the plummet of Morphy’s intellect cannot
soand its Joire<t depths)—nothing verifies bettor
than obess the Spanish adage that “ strength is re
lative.” Thw Aj*»x of one country or loeaiity may
be a comparative tyro in another. The really
ambitious TOtary of the game must carefully study
the chess column of tho “Spirit,” and hear in
mind the ancient Grecian’s prayer for (©be?*)
light:
“ Grant me but tosoe, and Ajax asks no more.'*
Naw Railroad Inventions.—One of the men
employed in the shops of tho Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, at Harrisburg, has completed s
model of what may bo regarded as a valuable in
vention. In the building of truoks. it becomes ne
cessary to turn a truck three times before it U
completed. This has been done heretofore by bioib
and tackle, and the use of a derrick, which would
sometimes slip in spite of every precaution. By
such a mishap, a man was killed in the Attocn-x
shop some four months ago. The invention i- a
machine to obviate tbe use of a derrick The truck
is built upon trussels, t>nd oan be elevated by
screws. - This will enable a few men to turn the
truck whenever necessary, and without any danger
whatever. , As tbe machine can be used for other
purposes, a' patent will no danbt be applied for
Another invention, more important for the saving
of life, Is a self-adjusting car-coupling, perfected
by James Widney, of Altoona. It Is designed to
avoid tbe neccrriiy of going between the care to
couple them, when they are run together, the
dangcr.iuz nature of which is well known to all ac
quainted with the businrre The .‘demand for an
invention of th[s kind is certainly great, as the
mnimed hards cf many persons who eye now or
h»Te beep employed on railroads will attest. It
adjusts itrolf immediately oa tho ©are coming
together, and be applied te couplings now in
use at a coss of ZH to -75 cents pep ©**. • Th* i n .
rention will do away with the most dangerous par!
of rat] reading business, as many lives are a&uuslfy
lost in coupling oars. '‘
