The reasons of the committee lor prei slug a reduction in the tarill'ou railroad iron were given at great length In this report. A resolution accompanied the report, to the etteci that a committee be appointed to git Wabhinxton and use their influence to secure a reduction ol the tariff on railroad iron and other materials required in building and operating railroads or that the committee select proper pusons tor that purpose. The following letter, from Henry C. Carey, Esq., addressed to the Presideut of the Conven tion, was then read: The American people have been spoken of as those " which soonest forget yesterday," and that they aie so seems to me, if you will excuse me for so saying, to be proved conclu sively by the proceedings yesterday of the con vention at whose bead you have been placed. Could our railroad friends throughout the Union be persuaded to study the thirty years of our iailroad history, they would find in it the mo-t abundant evidences of the following facts: 1st, that when tbe iron interest of the country has been thoroughly protected British iron has been cheap, American roads have been prosperous, railroad stocks have been high, and there has existed boih the power and the disposition to enlarge the facilities ol iuteicourse through out the Union j and second, that when our iron interests have been prostrated, as has so frequently been the case, British iron has been high.' American roads have been in a state of great depresbion, railroad stocks have been low, and there has existed neither the power nor the disposition required for increasing the number or extent ot roads. Abundant proof will be found in comparing with the facta pre sented by the four years ol "the free-trade taritr of 1857 with those ot the protective tariff of 1801, in our comparing the past year of depression with the three by which it had been preceded. Had the protection given by the tarilf of 1801 been maintained, the presentjvalue of railroad stock would be gi eater than it is by at least $250,000,000. I afck you now to lay this before the convention as coming from one who believes in the existence of a perfect harmony of the in terests of the roadmaker, the fhipowner, the farmer, and the producer of iron. Judge Jewett. alter a few remarks, offered the following resolution as a substitute for the report ot the committee: fiesolted, That a committee of three be appointed by this Convention to visit Washing ton lor the purpose ot endeavoring to secure an equitable adjustment ot the tariff on iron and steel railroad bars. The Judge desired immediate action, which was the reason for his presenting the resolution. A vote was taken on the resolution, wUh the following ret ul t YeoB lfi, nays 20. At the suggestion of Mr. Kennedy, the report of the memorial committee waa taken up according to sections, and fceveral sections adopted. The report of the committee to prepare busi ness was then presented. The committee re commend the consideration of the following subjects: First. The abolition of the whole system of runners, commissions on the sales ot tickets, and other irregular means ol obtaining business. As this subject has been discussed at several meetings of tbe "Trunk lines" between the East and the West, it is suggested that the resolu tions adopted by them be considered by this Convention. Second. The abolition, or a very great reduc tion of free passes. One railroad company acting alone would find it difficult to discontinue such passes, but if all should unite it would be easy lor each. Free passes are a heavy tax upon tbe railroads, and dissatisfy more people than they conciliate. Their discontinuance should be by the voluntary action of the com panies, not fey legislative interference. Third. A respectful memorial to Congress, asking for compensation for carrying travelling post offices, and also additional' compensation for ordinary mail service beyond the amount contemplated when the present prices were fixed, etc. etc. The fourth is in reference to memorializing Con gress to secure the remission of tuxes in gross receipts for freights, etc The fifth is a respectful memorial to the Postmaster-General requesting him to discontinue such Sunday mails as now, on the return ot peace, the public interest does not absolutely require, to that Sunday trains may not run, employes may have a day of rest, and the day be kept in accordance with the moral sentimeut of the community. The sixth section Is in reference to adjourning till a stated time, and the appointment of com mittees who shall receivo any communications that may be offered, and report at said adjourned meeting. The report of the committee was adopted without debate. 1 Messrs. A. 8. Buford, of Virginia; William Johnston, of North Carolina; J. II. Ramsay, of New York; L. II. Sturgeon, of Missouri; and J. H. Bradley, ot Pennsylvania, were appointed as the committee to convey the memorial adopted by the Convention to Washington. Messrs. Carter, Fleming, and Sloan were ap pointed an Executive Committee, in accordance with the suggestion oi the Committee on Busi ness. A motion was made and agreed to, that the Convention adjourn to meet in New ork on the third Wednesday in October. Firemkn's Riots. A serious tiot occurred on the Fourth between the South Penn and Lafayette Hose Companies, which is alleged to have been kept up for some time, and to have resulted in serious injury to some of the com batants. How it originated, or who began it, no one appeared to know.
