It is well worth seeine. Miss Josle Orton. Mr! 1
McKee Rankin, Mr. Mackay, and Mr. Michael
Woolt, were especially good in their respective
parts, and were warmly applauded in each of

MATTERS OVER THE RIVER.
A Profitable Investment. The South
Jersey Cranberry Company, recently organized
lor the purpose of cultivating this valuable
article, have been so successful that during the
coming winter and spring double the number
of acres of ground will be placed UTider cultiva
tion. The cron this season, it is thought, will
be a very profitable one, and the cultivated
borry looks better than thof.e which grow
naturally. The soil of South Jersey is pecu
liarly adapted for raiding them, and their
cultivation Is only in its inlancy.
Building Vessels. The business of
building vessels along the coast ot South
Jersey Is carried on very extensively. At
Ab&ecum there are now two fine schooners
nearly ready for launching, and several more
are In a lorward state ot completion at May 's
Landing..
CITY INTELLIGENCE.
For Additional City Intelligence see Third rage.
A Paballel Between the Murderers
Newton Champion and Richard P. Robinson,
tub Reputed Mukdereb of Helen Jkwett.
In glancing over the chronicles of crime we
are often startled by the great similarity of the
details of crimes that have been committed at
long intervals of time. It is a sad though
instructive lesson to trace up tho general
points ot resemblance, and analyze the apparent
causes and motives of action.
Those ot us who were living at the time well
rcnien.ber the fearful excitement caused by the
murder of a celebrated courtesan in New York,
in 1838. The supposed murderer, like the mur
derer of the late Marv Carney, pernetra-.ed tho
act with the greatest coolness and deliberation.
Robinson was a man ot a generally good char
racter. He was in respectable circumstances,
and in good social standing. For several years
he had been consorting with his victim, when
in a tit of jealousy he murdered her in cold
blood.
With the coolest nonchalance he strode from
the Louse where the corpse of hia victim lay
wrapped In her bloody btieet, and, as a measure
of precaution, he set fire to the bed on which it
lay, to destroy the evidence of his handiwork.
Without a pang ot remorse, he faced his fellows
in the broad light ot day with an unchanged
countenance. Arrested and brought before the
tribunal of the law, the same stoical inditler
ence marked his demeanor as marked that of
Newton Champion. As evidence upon evidence
was piled up against him. and the death penalty
seemed hanging threateningly over his head, he
still maintained the same stonv composure.
And when, alter he had ben acquitted, when
all expected the dread sentence of "guilty" to
have been brought in against him. he walked
out with the etoici-ni of a Probst amidst the
raging of a fearfully incensed mob.
Newton Champion is also a man of the mo-t
respectable family and connection-. When the
war broke out that has so recently distracted
our country, he was serving in a highly honora
ble position as an officer in our navy. His
conduct was irreproachable, and he was re
spected bv all. The future was bright before
him, and little could be even have dreamed of
the fearful cloud that was rising as yet below
the ltne ot his horizon.
But time went on, and Champion, who was
serving as an eugineer on an iron-clad in
Charleston, resigned ou account of sickness con
tracted in the line of duty in the service of his
countiy. Sick in body and mind, he, finding
his, desire to get to his home could not be
granted, resigned. From that moment his fall
began. Coming home to this city in the latter
part ol 18G3 he made the acquaintance of a fair
but fallen woman Mary Carney. The acquaint
ance, began in iniquity, soon destroyed all the
moral sense ot the deluded man. He went from
one folly to another.
In a vain endeavor to fly from destruction he
again enlisted In our army, and from thence
was drafted into that navy where he had held a
responsible posifon as an officer, In tho capa
city of a coal-heaver. But even this could not
save him. He appeared to be doomed. Weak
ened in mind.he returned to this city in January,
alter receiving his discharge, only to renew his
intercourse with the same woman who had been
the cause of his ruin; and from that time his
fall has been rapid. Weakened mentally and
physically by his dissipation, he sacrificed
everything in bis unholy passion for his victim.
Home, friends, self, all were forgotten.
We know the sequel. We have heard tho
dreadful, sickening details of the cool-blooded
tragedy. It is fresh In the memories of all, and
we netd refer to it no lurther than to remark
how similarly both she and Helen Jewctt were
butchered the nonchalance and satanic cool
ness of the murderer m each case. There did not
appear to be any systematic plan to avoid detec
tion in either case, and the evidence against
Robinson was seemingly overwhelming, as it is
against Newton Champion. It remains to be
seen how the latter will come out at his trial.
Botu of the victims were women of like char
acter. Handsome, accomplished, and attractive
in their personaljappearance, they were danger
ous members of society to the young men of the
cities. Both commenced life amidst the purify
ing influence of a happy country lite. They
both shaped their own tile: lived a course ot ttm
and Bhame, and met the same fearful eud. What
a field for moral reflection U the lives ot the
actors In those fearful tragedies of life ! They
should be examples to all who are rushing the
same red to destruction, but who, with blinded
eyes, will not see the breakers ahead.
A Bold Attempt at Bukqlaby. Be
tween one and two o'clock this morning sotuo
burclars attempted an entrance into the house

which had formerly been bis solace and pet.
One 5er and a month asro the said animal mys
teriously disappeared, and William mourned,
but bided bis time. lie watched and watched,
and waited and wailed, and at last his eyes were
blessed with a sight ot his old favorite com ins
out of the allev of another who had appro
priated tt. William immediately caught his old
time pet, and. clasping it to his bosom, fled
precipitately to his home. He was followed and
arrested. The man who had had him said he
had raised the dog from a pup, and he had ha i
it registered for the past thirteen months. The
case was m much against Wiiliam that ho was
hold In $700 bail by Alderman Fitch to answer
the charge of larceny.
The News About Town. As is natural,
the Convention Is the top'C of the hour. In the
anticipation that there may be a disturbance, or
rather to guard against any occurring, the most
amnle precautious have been taken. The police
will be around in great force, and not the least
danger of any rioting may be anticipated. The
locling In certain quarters runs verv high, how
ever, and we hear any quantity of" talk on the
streets. Tho Continental is constant! v blocked

the political campaign, who are creedy to catch

the delegates.
Congbkbb Hall. For a number of years
paat Capo May has been the almost general
resort of the wealth and respectability of our
city. The ease of access, both by steamer and
railroad, render it the most popular watering
place in our vicinity. Its hotel accommoda
tions are unsurpassed. More particularly con
spicuous for its time-honored enterprise and its
superb accommodations, we would notice the
"Congress Hall." which Is carried on by Mr.
J. F. Cake. It is unnecessary for us to commend
It, as it speaks lor itseit.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION
Cotirnuom the Fourth Edition.
A call was made from the platform by A. O.
Perrin for a member of the Georgia delegation,
which revealed the fact that there was a tempo
rary organization, the temporary Secretaries
being: A. O. Perrin, of New York; John F.
Cojle, District of Columbia; A. R- Fost, of Penn
sylvania; James R. 0. Byrne, District of Co
lumbia.
At this point the South Carolina delegates and
those ot Massachusetts entered tne building
intermixed, and walking arm In arm. They were
followed by the delegates from Mississippi. Gov
ernor Orr, of South Carolina, sceuici to be tho
centre of observation.
When Governor Randall announced tnut the
delegations from Massachusetts and South Caro
lina were entering arm in arm, the audience
rose simultaneously to their feet, cheer followed
cheer, and bats and handkerchiefs were enthu-
siabticttlly waved, the band stria-lug up, 'We'll
rally round the flag."
Scarce had tbe strains or the loyal air died
. . , . . i .t, . .
away, wnen tne strain ot iixie iubu mu as
loud, and were as loudly cheered.
It was followed by the "Star Spangled Ban.
ner," which was received by a general rising,
aod a unanimous shout of applause and wel
come.
Governor Randall then rose and said:
The meeting will now come to order, for ths
purpose of temporary orgaulzulion of this Con
vention. I propose the name of General John
A. Dix, of New York, as temporary Chairman of
this Convention (great cheers), and General
Dick Taylor, of Louisiana, then proposed three
cheers for the Union, which was heartily re
sponded to.
General Dlx then btepped forward and said:
Gentlemen of the Convention and lellow
citizens ot tho whole Union: I return to you
uiy sincere thanks tor the uouor you have done
me, in choosnik? me to preside temporarily over
jour deliberations, 1 rt'it rd it us a distinction
cf no ordinary cuuracicr, not ouly on account
of the high moral and political standing of the
ceutlemen who compose this Convention, but
becuuse it is a Convention ot tue people (cheers)
of all the States of this Union, and because
it cannot tail, if its proceedings are
ccuducied with harmony uud good jud
ineut. to lead t tuoft important rasults. It
may be truly said tbdt no body of men bus met
on this continent under circumstances so mo
mentous uud so delicate since tho year 1787, tbe
year when our ancestors u i tabled in this city
to fc'tiuie a better Government lor the States that
w re united under tho old Confederacy a Gov
ernment which has boon made more enduring,
we trust, bv the tenrlul trials and perils it has
encountered, and the Constitution which they
citiue hero to form we are here t vindicate and
to restore. (Cheers.)
We are here to twsert the supremacy of repre
sentative government over ail who ate within
the confines of tbe Union a govetunieut which
ennnot permit the violation ol it principles or
of the nrotectlon It extends lo the people who
1 are represented la it, over those who by virtue
of that leprcrentattoii are entitled to a, voice
tn t lie adn liiistra'on ot the public MVaira,
(Clieors.) It was Buch a Government our fathers
framed and put in operation. It Is the Govern,
ract t which we are bound by every considera
tion of fidelity, iusticp, and good faith, to rteieud
mid to maintain. Gentlemen we are no' living
iibdcr such a Government. Thirrt-slx States
have for months bcn governed by twenty-tlve.
Lli veri States bave been wholly witnoui re-
prrsei tation in the leeislnuve body. That
numerical propottim ot the represented and
unrepresented ni Decn cnanseo ov tne aumn-
mon of the riclciiation from Tennessee a unit
taken from the smaller and added to the largor
number. Ten Sts'ea are still denied the repre
sentation in Conertsj. to which they are entitled
tmcer the Constitution.
it is his vironir which we have come here to
protot against, nnd as far a In us lies to re
dice?. (Long and continued applaune.) When
the I'riBi lent ot the United States declared that
armed resistance to tho authority ot tbe Uuiin
was over, all the States had a rmht to be repre
sented In the Lfetti&tivii hod v. t Annlnuso.)
Thoy had the riht under the Constitution.
Ihey had the riaht under resolutions pased by
ihjiii notice oi jpiiirrefs In 1861. (Applause.)
Those resolutions were not concurrent, hut
tley ware substantially Identical. Moreover,
ihey were entitled to be so represented on other
giounds of fairness and good tuith. The Presi
dent, not in pursuance of any Constitutional
power, had called on tbe confederated Siatea
to accept conditions of their admission to the
exercise of their legitimate functions as mem
bers of the Uulon the ratification of the
amendment to the Constitution abolishing
slavery, and the repudiation ot tho debts con
tractea to overthrow the Government. These con
ditions were made and accepted. The exaetion
of new conditions is unjust, a violntion of the
taitb of tbe Government, subversive ot tbe nrlu
ciplts of our political system, and dangerous to
the public prosoentT and peace. (Applause.)
Each House of Contrress is made a iudire of the
quHliflcations of its members, and can rect
individuals for just cause; but the two bodies
act conjointly, and cannot exclude entire dele
gations without an unwarrantable assumption
ot power. (Applause.) Congress has not only
done this; it has gone farther.
It has incorporated new conditions in amend
ments to the Conotttution, and submitted them
tor tbe ratification of :he State. There is no
probability that thoe amendments will be rati
fied by three-fourths of the States of the Uuson.
To insist on the conditions they contain, Is to
prolong indefinitely the exclusion of more than
one-lourlh ot the States Irom their representa
tion In Congress. Is this the government our
fathers fought to establish ? (Cries cf No.no.)
Is this the government we have been Hsrhting
to preserve? (Cries of No, no.) The President
hasj done all in his power to correct
this wrong (applause and cheeriui:) to restore
the legiwlntive body to Its full proportions by
giving to tho members ol the Union their proper
place in the public counsciLi. Legislation with
out representation is au anomaly under our
political1 system. Ko! Iu our term of govern
ment it would be another name tor usurpation
aud rofcrulc.
Gentlemen, I trust that in our deliberations
here wc sbull confine our.-elves to one main
Iuirpose, that of redressinu the wronir to which
have relerred. There is much iu the adminis
tration of our Government which needs amend
menttome things to be done and others to be
undone.
TL ere are commercial and financial reforms
which are indispensable to the pubho welfare,
but we shall not have the power to ctrry out
these until we change tho political complexion
ol Conpress. (Loud cheering and applause )
This should be our first, our mraediate aim.
(Applause.) It is in the Congressional districts
that the vital contest is to take place. The
control ot one body will enable us to prevent
partial, unjust, and pernicious legislation. But
the control of bolh Houses, with the power to
introduce and carry out salutary reforms, to
bring the Goverr.ment back, in the language of
Jetteison. "to trie republican track," will come
later. (Appiaue.)
But with wise, harmonious, tudicious action
on our pari, and on the part of those we repre
sent, it need not be long delayed. (Applause.)
1 believe that public opinion ts nerht: that it
is only neceesary to present lo the people clearly
th issues between us and those which control
the action of Congress. And, gentlemen, is not
the oblect for which we are contending a con
summation worthy of our highest and "most de
voted efforts? (applause) to bring back tne
Republic, purify it, strengthen it by the fiery
ordeal through which it has passed, and to its
ancient prosperity aud power? (Loud cheers
and applause.)
To present to the world an example worthy ot
imitation, with no Utopian vision of good
eovernment. but with the grand old reality oi
better times (applause), with which the memory
of our fathers, the recellections ot the past, anil
all our hopes ot the future are inseparably
entwined. (Applause.) One country, one flair,
one Union of eq ual States. (Loud and continued
cheering and applause.)
The President here remarked:
Gentlemen: It is proposed that the Divine
blesshrr be invoked upon our proceedings by
Rev. T. N. JlcDonough.
After the opening prayer, and the reading of
the call lor the Convention, the audience had
an opportunity ot gazing at several of the men
who have of late figured extensively in the halls
of Congress and in the public prints. General
Steadman, of Ohio; Senator Doolittle, of
Wisconsin; Montgomery Blair, of Maryland;
and Colonel Thomas B. Florence, of Phila
deipma. bteaainan is a burly little man,
aud rather modest withal, for before any one
could get a passing glimpse of him, he had
offered his resolution and dropped into his scat
again. Doolittle being one oi the leaders in the
new party movement, was seated upon the
stage. We had pictured to our mind
one ot those rough specimens of humanity
which so often gain the upper hand in tho Weat
Senator Doolittle, on toe contrary, is almost as
neat in appearance as a parlor dandy, and speaks
with the utmost clearness and precision. The
tall, gaunt form of Montgomery Blair, with his
scanty top knot of anburn hair, presented a sin
gular contrast to the bristling little man whose
long grey locks and flowing beard were so fami-
lar in days j;one by to the dentzens ofThlrdstreer.
We refer, of course, to Colonel Florence, who
appeared to be extremely anxious for the read
ing ot the Democratic call for the Convention,
lest the world might think that he and others
of the faithful were entirely out of place.
Another prominent figure was that of the
venerable Senator McDougall, of California,
who spent some time in promenading up and
down in front of tbe audieuce, attracting a
good share of attentiou by his Dlue coat and
glittering brass buttons. Wheu Colonel Flo
re nee arose to speag, me senator gave him a
very comical look, and then quietly sat down
for the remainder of the sesson.
Montgomery Blair at last jumped up the
second time to make the motion for adjourn
ment, and then the audience noticed that he
wore a tan-colored vest aud a blue necktie a
model of true republican simplicity.
II Mr. Blair had been ten minutes sooner with
his motion for the adjournment he would have
merited the thanks of the a-sembled crowd;
but as it was, the first man who attempted to
leave the Wigwam was saluted with gust of rain,
which a moment later ratiled down in hearty
earnestness, finding its way th-ough the roof of
the building, and adding to anything but the
good humor of the multitude below. The roof
leaked at every pore, and the pores extended
over its entire surface.
Reporters gathered their notes under their
hats In n twinkling, while the fow person pre
srrt who had had tbe forethought to bring
their umbrellas with them gathered in groups
upon the benches. The remainder of the audi
ence dodged between the drops, making a sig-
Tn lir.e for tho door. The scene was ludicrous
In tho extreme, and would have been well
worth stopping to look at and laugh at, if one
could have found shelter while so doing.
Alter the ariiournmciit of tho Convention,
meetings of the several committees appointed
during the session were held. The Committee
on Resolutions, on whom will alo devolve the
duty of preparing an addreas to tbopeoplo of
the United states, selected Senator Doolittle for
thf Ir rbaumau. The Conservative Republican
may consider this a triumph.
