If a citizen of the good city of Philadelphia had retired to rc?t on the day that the Wigwam - pantomime adjourned, and like the seven sleepy Christians of old,. or the equally drowsy Rip Van Winkle ot more modern days, bad slum bered through the rising and setting of the sun, day after day, night after night; and if this for getful mortal had been suddenly awakened on Saturday afternoon, and taken a stroll up Ches nut street,' from Third to Broad, he would have been willing to make oath that the Wigwam, for so many days, In truth a thing of the pa, "was a living reality of the present. A throng; larger and busier than that which usually crowds our principal thoroughfare, was hurry ing np and down, and each mau seemed to carry something of weight upon his mind. Around the principal hotels there were likewise congregated knots and groups of men who were given more than ordinarily to discussion of affairs In general and of political import in par ticular. But there was "no biciden secret about this unusual hubbub. The Wigwam having passed into history, the Convention of Southern Loyal ists was simply getting under way as far as pre liminaries were concerned. Hence the crowd, the solemn, weighty look, the earnest discourse, and all the accompaniments. 1 For several days past the delegates from South and North had been gradually arriving In the city. The meeting of Friday night in front of the Union League House had given an impetus to the atiair, and on Saturday the arrivals were repeated und large. Among the most distin guished personages who hud arrived in town by evening were Governor Hamilton and Pease and Judge Sherwood, ot Texas; Hon. T. J. Durant. of Louisiana: Hon. M. J. SafTold. 'of Alabama; Judge Underwood and Hon. John Minor Botts, of Virginia; Governor Brownlow and Senator Fowler, of Tennessee; and Governor Fletcher, of Mioaouri. ) The first thing that these people lrom abroad did was to Bcek a permanent shelter for their Bojourn'in the city, and then they rushed, in pursuance of invitation, to 1 Tht Room of the National lulou Club, on Chesnut street, above Eleventh. Throughout the dav these spacious apartments were crowded by the delegates, who came to register their names. As fast as this ceremony was completed they were furnished with a uote from Mr. & dicks, Chairman of the Kxeoutlve Committee of the Club, on presentation of which at the union League House, on Broad street, tbey wera pro vided with tickets which admitted them within the f. acred precincts of that luxurious etablhjb- liantduJng their stay, Tenneee Begin the Heavy Work. The innumerable delegation which Tennessee has sent to the Convention is a characteristic one. They are all men of nerve and mettle, whose sprit has been tried in the fiery furnace of rebellion, and proved to be loyal and beyond reproach. Most of them, moreover, have had personal acquaintance with Andrew Johnson for many years, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him during the darkest days ot the war. The fact that th?y now repudiate him to a mam rentiers it eminently proper that they should take the initiative steps in that grand movement which, as they predict, will end In their pulling down upon hid wayward head the whole of his reconstructed house. Having collected in large numbers in the altcrnoon, an informal meeting oi the delegation was organized in the parlor of the National Cnion Club House, with the Hon. Joshua B. Fric son, President of the Senate of Tennessee, In the cbair. Then they began to make speeches, a business at which each individual present seemed able and anxious to take a turn. The course to be pursued by the delegation lu the coming Convention, was the topic under discus sion; and atter various suggestions, a committee was appointed totttke the matter into considera tion, and prepare a programme to be subse quently acted upon. On the adjournment of the Tennessee delega tion, a general Intormal meeting of delegates was organized, and the views of the gentlemen present interchanged. Tennessee Stop for Supper, and Begins Again Where She Left Oft. After supper the Tennessee deleeation held another meeting in the parlor of the Club House, the rooms and passage-ways being crowded to suffocation. The committee previously ap pointed not being prepared to report at length, it was unhappily suggested by some one that a meeting for the purpose of listening to their final report be held on Sunday. But Tennessee Respects the Sabbath. The proposition meets with violent objection, and the time is fixed at 8 o'clock on Monday morning. Tennessee thereupon adjourned; and although the majority of persons present were from that State, a general meetine was organized by call ing to the chair Colonel Charles E. Moss, the radical editor of the radical Press, of St. Louis, Missouri. The meeting being for purposes of general debate, loud calls were made for Mr. Smith, of New Orleans "A Man Without a Head," as he was called by somebody, who explained the anomaly by saying that Mr. Smith had been an office-holder under the Federal Government, but had recently been removed to make way lor a man who had been more of a Rebel than he was. Mr. Smith was requested to step forward and give some account of the late not in the Cres cent City. Mr. 8mith was not present. Tennes see, however, was not fastidious, and the New Orleans riot being out of the question, they con cluded to take into consideration the Memphis riot, which would servo ihe purpose of showing how "my policy" worked, as well as a more re- I mote affair of the same character. General John Eaton, the editor of the Men phis Post, was called upon for this lat purpose, and responded in a telling speech. General Eaton Discusses the Memphis Riot, and Show How Treason has been Made Odious In Tennessee and Ehewhcre. He commenced by saying that the Memphis riotjwas an old-time affair, which It was scarcely worth their while to meddle with. Riots and massacres have become so frequent that a new one is served up, like fresh fish, every day, and will be as long as "My Policy" continues in force. (A voice, "That's so," and other tokens of confirmation.) The speaker then proceeded to chow that the municipal government of Mem phis was constituted after the war pretty much the same as during and before it, inconsequence of which there were premonitions of trouble with the negro portion of the population, as soon as the reoerai government commenced the removal of the troops. When the Freed- mens Bureau was altogether removed, all power relapsed into tue hands ot me police, many of whom were known to be murderers, thieves, and outspoken enemies of the negroes. The latter were repeatedly arrested on the most frivolous pretexts, and tauten before John C. Creighton, the Recorder of the city, a man who had made himselt popular by killing a negro since the war. The catastrophe was precipitated by the dis banding of a negro reriment which had beeu in garrison in a ncignDoring iort. me soldiers, whoe families were supported by them in the vicinity, at once proceeded to enjoy theuiselvos while their money lasted. Some of them may have been a little boisterous. At any rate, the police saw fit to interfere; but they could and did make no arrest of a negro without insulting and abusing him. The spark thus lighted was kindled Into a flame, the city authorities being led on by the Recorder. This man is now Presi dent of the Johnson Club of Memphis, and was Vice-Presiaent of the meeting recently held there to rarity the proceedings of the Philadel phia Johnson Convention. The Rebel General Forrest presided ut this meeting, and the Fede ral General Stoneman made a speech. The speaker thought that, although the Con gressional Investigating Committee had done thtir very best, the horrors of the Memphis massacre had never been and could never be fully disclosed. Attempt had been made to hhut the reboousibilitv for ' them upon tho shoulders of the Irishmen, but they had stoutly and successfully disclaimed it. It was then charged to the radicals, whose sole object had been to attempt the social elevation of tha negro. It was the Rebel enemies of the negroes who had been guilty of the butchery. Al though these men professed to be haters of the negro, yet seven of tbein were known to enter a house where a poor negro woman lived, and to violate her person in turn, to the seventh man. It was the evil genius of rebellion which has incited the whole of these murders, rapes, and arsons. (Loud cries of " That's so.") But, continued the speaker, the negroes were pot aioe Jn peil j the joys! whites were equally so. Tne cry raised against tnem was ainerent, however. "Do not destroy them,'1 said the Rebels, "for that will only strengthen their cause; tbey must bt driven out." The spirit of rebellion still existed. Men who had killed negroes boasted of it openly, and were pointed out and honored on that account. The Executive Gov ernment, supported by its military force, had the power to punish these criminals; yet It had failed to do so. It was idle to talk of their punishment by the civil authorities. The Rebel sentiment so predominated that no man could be convicted of offenses of this sort. The com munity was powerless for such a purpose. Both the local and the General Government had failed to punish these deeds, and now the latter had begun to cover with glory the men who had committed them. The appointments made by Mr. Lincoln were being removed, because they were unpopular with Rebels. And this course is being pursued and sustained bv tho man who said that treason must be made odious. The speaker then contended that these men could never be punished, unless the present Stale Government of Tennessee is sustained. The guilty partias have, theretore.dcelared that it must be oveithrown. The Metropolitan Police law rtcn ly put in force in Memphis had taken the power out of Rebel hands, amr" placed it In the bands of capable and honesi men. Yet the city government had rejected the estimates preseated by the police commissioners, and the couuty court had reftued to levy a tax to support It So the new police Is sustained on borrowed money. In conclusion, the speaker said that this Convention should so tell its own story that the North could see the whole truth, and take the proper action. The general aspect of affairs throughout the 8outh is one of riot and blood shed. We must now appeal to the people who have saved the Union, under God, t- save in turn the Union men of the South ! General Eaton then resumed his seat, the company heartily applauding his sentiments, as they had frequently done during his speech. Governor Brownlow Is too Hoarse to Speak. Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee, was then called upon to state the prospects of future trouble. The Governor, In his shirt sleeves, was seated near a window in a lounging attitude. He declined speaking, on the plea of excessive hoarsness, and, in truth, he looked very hag gard and tired. Secretary Fletcher Promises Some In teresting Developments. Hon. A. J. Fletcher, Secretary of State of Tennessee, in response to an invitation to detail the struggles of the loyal men in attempting to administer civil government In that State, re sponded by saying that he thought the occa sion inopportune, as most ot his bearers were Tennesseeans, and as well acquainted with the facts as himselt. He promised to make himself heard on this subject, however, at some time before the Convention adjourned. Having en joyed the unlimited confidence of his Excel lency the Governor, he flattered himself that he could make ttie story interesting Governor Brownlow suggested that Monday evening be fixed upon for the Secretary's 6peech The Secretary replied that, although he was not so accustomed to making "appointments" as were those ot a different calling (glancing to wards tne " parson," while tne company laughed), he would consent to this arrangement, The Situation from the Missouri Stand. point "The Gentleman In the White House" Called Hard Karnes and Told Some Plain Truths. The chairman of the meeting. Colonel Moss of the SI. Louis Press, in response to a call, piomlsed that Missouri would give a good ac count of herself next November. If any of the "Boys in Blue" in that State have been led astray by "my policy," they would have a eood opportunity to show on which side they pre ferred to fight. If "my policy" should interfere in the struggle, he would suffer the fate that has befallen some other men who have been guilty of a like offense. Although he did not tear it, "A. J." might be crazy enough to try his hand there, as well as elsewhere. But if his adherents attempted to override law In Missouri, and with pistols and knives to force illegal votes into the ballot-box, there would not be enough of them left to organize another butchery. (Cheers.) The radicals have gained the right to govern Missouri, and they would do it at all hazards. Referring to the colored soldiers, the speaker said that these men, who had fought the battles of the Union should not be given over, bound hand and foot, to be trampled upon by their enemies. The next election will teach "the gentleman in the White House" that he cannot trifle with and trample upon the affections of the loyal people. "A. J." was not elected for this purpose. Not half-a-dozen loval men between Maine and Texas would be frightened by the cry of "negro suffrage," or any other bugbear like it The Government will be taught that a loyal man must be protected, whether his nkln Is white or black. No good man would cross the street to save a Government which had '. Mi I Jt . ueeu guiuy oi uauuing over to tneir enemies three hundred thousand men who had taken up arms in its defense. Such a Government would be the meanest on the face of the earth 1 The speaker believed, however, that Congress would grant sufficient protection' to the loyal people, in spite of the traUorin the White Eousel (Cheers.) He then severely rebuked the Pre sident for sustaining those who had broken up tbe Louisiana Convention, and for mutilating the despatches of General Sheridan relating to tne riot, The man who did this, in con versa won wiui a geutieman in the month of June. 1865, said that a party would be formed of those who voted for McClollan and of the conservative Republicans, who would carry the South with them, and elect the next President; and that, for bis part, he did not consider it ana verv (treat honor to be dragged itUo the Presidential ohair on ttte ooat tail of Abraham Lincoln I (Sensation. ) some one asked the speaker what he thought ought to be done with Jeff, Davis. After giving his views on this subloct, he said that the treachery of Andrew Johnson to the men who elected him, and the principles he formerly enunciated, is a greater crime than that of "the ojber Bfl," Jeff, Payls ha4 never betrayed either his friends or his principles. But, af! r all, this treachery of Andrew Johnson would piove to be a good thing, for it wonld prevent the people in future from taking on trust politi cians who for years past have been playing the devil generally. In conclusion, the speaker said that the Con vention must memorialize Congress to amend the Constitution, 10 that every man may work out bis own salvation, without any restraint to keep him down, If we speak out plainly now, the Northern people will certainly sustain us. All we have to do is to ask Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution, giving the black man the right of suffrage, as a measure of protection to the loyal white men of the South ern States. (Applause.) The meeting was then addressed by Colonel William B. Thomas, recently Collector of the port of Philadelphia, and other speakers, and adjourned at a late hour. SUNDAY. The world never stops moving, simply because it is the Sabbath. Neither do treat political Conventions. The Southern Loyalists' Conven tion is no exception to this general rule. Throughout the day the city was in a state of feverish excitement. The hotels and the National Union Club House were crowded, and the action of the Convention, from beginning to eud, was thoroughly discussed in all its different bearings. In the morning the principal excite ment was A Short Sermon by Governor Brownlow. The announcement in Saturday's Evening Telegraph that "the Parson" would attend Divine service at the Union Methodist Church, on Fourth street, near Arch, caused that spa cious building to be filled to overflowing. A noticeable feature of the congregation was the fact mat three-fourths of it was composed of gentlemeu. But the crowd was doomed to a half-way disappointment. After the regular exercises were concluded, the pastor, Rev. Dr. Carrow, introduced the Governor to the ex. ptctant audience. Governor Brownlow, on rising, said that, owing to the feeble state of his health, he could not make an adores-, and that he should not then be in the city, except tor the interest he took in the great Convention. He had come to church because he believed it the duty of every man to attend church on the Sabbath. Ani he had come to this particular church because of peculiar recollections of the place. It was there that he had had the honor, in tho year 1832, of attending the General Conference as a delegate from the Holscein Conference of Tennessee. At that time two bishops were elected Bishop Embury and Bishop Andrews. One of these had since died on the right side of Mason and Dixon's line, and had gone to his reward; the other was still floundering among the bogs and quagmires of Georgia, and when he dies God only knows where he will go. The pulpit is not the place for politics, especially on Sunday. Religion is the first duty of man; his country tho next He would merely refer to the great struggle between the legislative and executive departments of the Government. If the latter should succeed, there will be no home in the South for the Union white man or the loyal black man. But for his part, he had tied from traitors the hist time, even though he should be bung by the neck to a lamp-post, within sight of the Capitol of Tennessee ! Such was the sermon short, but character istic. The Governor's evident feebleness gained him the hearty sympathy of the audience; and as he resumed his seat a slight murmur of ap plause ran through the house, which the merest outbreak ou tbe part ot a single individual would have plunged into a furore of excitement. In the evening there was A National Prayer Meeting at the National Union Club House, at which Senator Harris presided. A large number of delegates were present, and groat interest was manifested In the exercises, which were con' ducted by Senator Lane, of Indiana, the Rev. Dr. Newman, ot New Orleans, and other dis tinguished gentlemen. WHAT THE CONVENTION WILL DO. The action ef the Convention has been so thoroughly discussed by the delegates from the various States, that we have been able to gather its probable result The first question to be settled will be that of The Temporary Organization. On this point there will be no great difficulty, It seems to be the general verdict of the dele gates that the position of temporary chairman will be most appropriately filled by the Hon. Thomas J. Durant, of Louisiana. The grand speech which he delivered on Friday evening, in front ot tbe Union League House, has made a marked impression on the country at large. The pressure in bis favor was very strong last evening, and although tbe tide may have turned in another direction before this is seen in print, ho will, in all probability, be the unanimous choice of the Convention lor that position. The question ot The Permanent Organization will not be so easily settled. There are several aspirants for the distinguished honor of perma nent Chairman. The opinion is universal, how ever, that the choice must fall on a man whoso career Is thoroughly Identified with the South. Many delegates are even opposed to voting for any one but a nauve-Dorn oouiuemer. u u were not for the enfeebled condition of Gover nor Brownlow's hearth, be would be called to the chair by acclamation. Governor Hamilton, of Texas, is perhaps the second choice of. a majority of the delegates, but he positively de clines to permit the use of his name in that con nection. Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, and Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, although strongly urged to compliance by their friends, have like wise declined to be placed upon the list of can didates. The name of John Minor Botts, of Vir ginia, which is proposed in some quarters, meets with but little favor, on accountof that gentle man's avowed opposition to negro suffrage under apj circufflstapces, The result of the canvass leads to the belief that Es-Governor Pease, of Texas, will Pro bably be President of the Convention. Although a native of Con necticut, he has resided in Texas for thirty years, and is a pure Southern man to all Intents and purposes. He was twice elected to the position of Governor of his adopted State, and acquired while serving In that capacity a per sonal popularity that is enjoyed by but few public men. The Question of Reconstruction will, as a matter of course, be the grand topic for discussion. There is no doubt that the Con vention will decide that there arc at present no legal State Governments existing within the limits of the late Confederacy. And Congress will be memorialized to provide for their reor ganization on the basis ot loyal white suffraee, with an entire disfranchisement of the late rebellious population, until such time as they fhall show by their actions, as well as pro'es "ions, that they have accepted "the situation" in good faith. The Question of Negro Suffrage will also receive a great share of attention. The belief that the loyal negro is entitled to a vote is almost universal among the delegates. An effort will be made to have the Convention memorialize Congress to provide for the enfran chisement of the negro, by an amendmeut to tho Constitution, or in some other appropriate and constitutional manner. This effort will probably be success! ul, although it will en counter great opposition in some quarters, John Minor Botts has got the idea in his head, that if the ballot is placed in the negro's band his vote w ill be directed and controlled by his former Rebel master. Hence, he Is fairly and squarely opposed to it, and will make a stout effort to defeat the measure. But he stands almost, If not quite alone. A large party will likewise be found in opposi tion, because they are afraid that their support of negro suffrage will render it utterly impos sible for them to return to their homes in the South. And still another party are opposed, on the ground that to pledge the Convention uu equivocally in favor of negro suffrage will en danger the result of the coming elections in the Northern States. The final action of the Convention will be resolved into An Address to the American People. For some time past, Judge Sherwood, of Texas, has been engaged in the preparation of such a document, which it is quite probable will be accepted and promulgated by the Convention. This address, as it now stands, is one of the most masterly State papers that has ever ema nated from an American source. Tbe situation, and all the great questions involved in it, are discussed therein in an ex baustlve raannor. President Johnson himself receives no mercy. The emptiness of his past professions and the baseness of his present course are treated with unsparing rigor. WELC03 1 JE ! THE OVATION TO THE HEROES. SPLENDID PROCESSION.

THE RECEPTION. As soon as the sun was up this morning, tbe city began to crow excited again over the great Convention of the Southern Loyalists. The principal hotels and other places at which the different delegations had made their headquar ters presented a busy and attractive scene. In response to the suggestion of the National Union Club, there was a grand display of bunting from public and private buildings. The Club House of tbe Union League, especially, presented a beautiful appearance. The front of the build lng was covered with the National enslgus, while above there was a long line of white streamers, with the names of every State in the Union in scribed thereon. The first thing in the order of time was the adjourned Meeting of the Tennessee Delegation which assembled at the National Union Club House at 8 o'clock, pursuant to adjournment lion. Jobhua B. Fnerson, President of the State Senate, presided. The committee previously appointed made a report embodying the follow mg recomuienuuuuus; For temporary Chairman of the Convention Governor Hamilton, of Texas. For permanent Cnairman Ex-Attorney P.friinrAl Kneeil. of Kentucky. For permanent Vice-President Governor Brownlow. of Tennessee. Tbe Committee further recommended that the resolutions to be adopted by tho Convention should declare emphatically that it ia the duty of Concress to afford full protection to the loval people of all the States.

Tbe deleeation then adjourned, to proceed to Independence Square. leathering of the Loyal Clans. In pursuance of the published orders, the dele eates met generally at the National Union Club Rooms at 94 o'clock, and proceeded thence to Independence Hall, under the marshalshio n Joseph A. Nunes, Eq., of Kentucky: District of Columbia, South Carolina, M'BOurl, i Georgia, Kentucky, tiorida, Tennessee. Alabama, West Virginia, MiM'ssioni. - Virginia, i Louisiana, Maryland, Arkansas, Delaware. Texas. North Carolina, The Honorary Delegates had assembled at Independence Hall al 91 o'clock. The memDcrs ot tne union League assemmea at their Club House at 9 o'clock, and proceeded In a body to independence Hall, to take part In the escort. Each member wore the medal of the Leeaue. The State delegations were received at the main entrance ot Independence Square, on Chesnut street, at 10 o'clock A. M.. bv a com mittee of the Union League, under the direction of William H. Kern, Marshal. The cavalcade formed on Walnut street, right resting on Third street, facing north, under the direction of Geueral Louis Wagner, Marshal. The "Bovs in Blue" formed immediately on tbe left of the cavalcade, under the direction ot General Joshua T. Owen, Marshal. The "Republican Invlncibles" formed on Sixth street, right resting on Walnut street. facing wett under the direction of their mar shal, Colonel W. McMichael. The Fire Department formed on seventh street, ripht resting on Walnut street, under tho direc tion ot John . Butler, Marshal. The National Union Club and other delega tions and associations formed ou Walnut street. in the order of their arrival, right resting on Seventh street, facing nortb, under the direc tion ot Maior-Geieial George W. Mendel and Thompson Reynolds, Marshall-. ine enure arrangements were under tne special direction and control ot General Horatio G. Sickles, Grand Marshal of the day. The Scene lu Independence Square, while the deleeatlons and escorts were assem bling, was an animated one. There was treat cheering and waving of hats as the several dele eatioca entered the Square to take their places in tbe procession. The arrival of eacb "bright, particular star" created an extra amount of excitement, as a matter of course. This was especially toe case when Generate Geary, Burnside, and Butler, and Governor Brownlow, entered and left. Geary had re ceived a continued ovation as he marched down Chesnut street in company with the National Union Club. Burnside, on hi? arrival, was beset bv an eaeer crowd, who shouted them- telves hoarse, and then attempted to shake the old hero to pieces, tie tooK tne whole tnmg coolly and pleasantly, and appeared as greatly in te retted in all the proceedings a4 the smallest boy In the crowd. Among other things which appeared to excite the assembled crowd was A Take-oft on South Carolina and Mas sachusetts, Arm-in-arm. This was the entry of Theodore Tilton, of the New York Independent, supported by Frederick Douglass, tbe celebrated colored orator. They appeared to be on the best possible terms with, each other, aud gracefully acknowledged the applause which fell to their share. The Outside Scenes. In the meantime, such of our citlzeus as de sired to witness the procession had assembled in f reat surering ciowds along the line of march, n front of the State House and Custom House, in particular, there was gatheied a multitude, through which it was difficult for one to make his way, The windows and balconies along the line were also pressed into service by the ladies, who were even more enthusiastic than their loyal lords and masters. The Parade. Tbe column was duly arranged by the ap pointed time, halt-past 10 o'clock, and at a quar ter to 11 it began to move over the following route: Down Walnut to Third, up Third to Chesnut, up Chesnut to Twelfth, down Twelfth to Pine, up Pine to Broad, np Broad to the Union League House, where the reception took place.
