London, September 30. In consequence of a
dilliculiy which has existed for some timo past
between the United Suites Consul In the Island
of Cyprus and the Turkish nutboritttes, the
United States Minister ia Constantinople, Mr.
E. Joy Morris, has demanded full satisfaction
liom the Sultan and his Cabinet.
Pending the negotiations, which assume a
rather ecrious aspect, Mr. Morris communicated
with Admiral GolUsborough; and the United
states war ship liconderoya, Captain Charles
Stcedman, which has been lying off the port of
Venice, was despatched thence for Cyprus.
Cauxe of the Htiarrcl.
The following detailed account of the diffi
culty between the representatives ot tho United
Stales in the Island of Cyprus ami at Constant!-
noplc and the Sublime i'orte referred to in our
special cable teiegram will be louud of consi
derable interest, as matters of great import
: may be evolved from the step just now taken by
the lion. Mr. Morris:
i Some time ago the American Consul at Lar
nacu, in Cyprus, Mr. Luii Pulinu (te Cc-nola,
took into his acrvice as cuvas a Mussulman
native named Mus-tapuii. Shortly afterwards the
iiiiulir of the to a a cluimed the in an a a drawn,
contcript seeking1 to evade military service, and,
011 the Consul iciudng to give bim up, ordered
a party ot znptiehs to enter the house ot the
American Consul dragoman a certain Costand
Jiebess and cairy on the man.
Thereupon the American Consul addressed a
formal complaint to the Governor of the iiland,
demanding the punibhinent ot the mudir and an
uuople apology lor the alleged ouirage on his
own ronsular dignity. On inquiry into the tacts,
however, the Pasha considered the mudir to be
in the right, aud therefore refused the consular
tltmiind.
Mr. Palma de Ccenola accord inglv "suspended
relations," and relerred the matter to the Hon.
E. Joy Morris, (he American Minister in Con
stantinople. The latter gentleman, accepting
his subordinate's version of the tacts, addressed
an energetic and categorical note to the Porte,
cleti auding:
First. The dismissal of the mudir.
Second. A personal apolotry trora the Pasha
to the Consul at the house ot' tho latter, with u
s multuncous salute of twenty-one guns to the
American flag.
luiid. That done, the dismissal of the Pasha
him self.
Pourib. The liberation and payment of sub
Btantiul compensation to the cavas Mustapha.
in ihe event of the Porte's unwillingness to
concede these four points, Mr. Morris requested
Admiral (Joldeborough, commanding tne Ame
rican squadron in the Mediterranean, to send
one of his war vessels to Larnace, which has
been done. '

the treaty of peace between Italy and Austria
will be signed within a day or two.
A Commercial Treaty with Austria.
Austria and Italy have agreed to commence
negotiations lor a treaty of commerce as soon as
peace has been concluded. The basis of this
commercial relation is to bo the treaty of com
merce of 1861 between Austria and Sardinia.
This basis, however, Is only meant to serve as
the startine-point tor what are intended to be
very intricate commercial relations.

President .Tohuson'a Policy Do Grant
and Farragut Support It 1
In a speech at Anderson, Indiana, lately, Gover
nor Morton said :
Dot they say that Grant has been swinging around
the cirole with the 1 resident. 1 hey tried to mace
us he'leve that ueneral brant war with the Presi
dent ana Indorsed his policy. They tried to wring
out ot Grant sumo expression ot his views, but not a
single word could they extract from him. I he peo
ple wonld cheer Grant, and the President would
come out and now to them. Wheu be not up to
Coiumbus, Grant eonld stand It no longer, lio
came oat and said to the reporters : "tientlenien,
I bavo never sympathized with bim; I have norer
approved bis t oner; 1 came along with him becanso
I as invi'od." Ho was invited by his commanding
officer, and he could not do otnor vso tint accept ,
And there was that brave old sea-dog, turragut, ho
went aump, too.
Woli, he took occasion at the banquet at New
York, at the earliest opportunity, to explain how
ho came there. VVhv," said ho, '! have been
taucrbt to behove that the invitation of mr com
manding officer was equivalent to an order " When
airacut pot to Cleveland sume impudont radical
asked bim a question. Said he, "1 would lik-i to
know whether oii are a Johnson man." "Why,',
said he, "to he euro I am. He is mv commanding
officer. Yon ask any subordinate officer under uia
whether he is a r'arragut man or not."
Yet these men were not lor him. They were
with him, but they were not of him. Thtiy will not
support his policy, llut il they do, If Graut, witti
all bis popularity and mtltionoe, should come out
in bchalt of the President's po'icy, he would be
fircund to powder. The cause is creator than any
man. 1 have great confidence in tne resu.t. I
don't despair of tho ropuhlio. 1 believe the great
cause wnl jet triumph; that the Union will be fully
restored with iquai rights, with equal protection
lora l; and that our country will fheu start upon a
career ot prosperity and power such as it has never
known before.
Mr. ltajiilonil mid the French Mission.
To the Editor of tbeN. Y. Tribune. Sir : I find
the loilowii.g pamKRtph in your Washington cor
respondence: The Jj'KKxcn Mission. As Gen. Dix has declined
the French miss on, both liuymttnil and Utanton are
working lor it, buc as tho President does not foel
kindly to tbe totmor, it is not likely he will get it.
So far as 1 am concerned, this statement is utiorly
ui true jSotonvhavo 1 never wonted ior" the
Mirsion to ranee, but I have never, directly or Indi
rectly, personally or through others, applied for that
ot any othc olliro, at home or abroad, in the gi t of
the Government Nor havo 1 auv rca-on to beli-vo
that an j body has ever sought or suggested my ap
pointment to any such place Twice in my lite I
have been asked to accept a foreign appointment;
in neither case did 1 consent.
1 am aware that this report of my seeking or de
siring the Flench mission has beon industriously
kei t afloat in the new-papers lor two or three years.
It has served the purpose of explaining nuon some
selfish and Interested ba i. uub.ic action on my
part which a portion ol the press a ere unwilling to
upcr be to any better inotivo. liut it never had the
shgh'est foundation in truth. 1 do not remember
having ever spoken to tho President or Socroiary
ot State about tbe French mission, but once, and
that was to suggest, in case of a vacancy, the ap
pointment ot (itiieral Dix.
Yours, etc., 11. J, Raymond.
THE PENDING CANVASS.
The t'miipnlgn In the West Speech of
tnatitti liiiller ut Lie vt luiid, Ohio.
Cleveland, September 29. General Butler ar
rived here irom Oberlin last night. An Immouse
crowd bad already gathered at the Kennard House,
who cheered tho General on his arrival, and called
loudly for a speeeh. He soon appeared on tho same
balustrade on which the President stood when he
delivered his celebrated Cleveland speech. General
Butler happened to be?in bu apaeou t tne am
hour, whiau win explain tho reference in his opening
sentence. Alter the enthusiastic cheers which greeted
his appearance had subsided, he said :
Men of Oluo: 1 doubt whether you ought to de
sire me to spi ak to you from this place at this hour.
I am told that it is an unfortunate place lor
speakers, especially in the ev.iuiu (shouts of
laughter, and crie of "That's so"); but, undotorrod
by the late ot my predecessor, relyiug on your
courtesy and kindness, I propose to answer a
question or two which ho put to the citizens ot
Cleveland from the balcony whore I now s and.
After saying that ho humbly represented the entire
Government, and after opening bis attack upon
Congress, tho chosen repre-eutatives ot tbe poople,
ho states this question: "What Constitutional pro
vision have I violated?" and then adds "What
does tieneral Butler say'' I wnl tell him.
En st and foremost, General But.er says that
the Piesldent ot the United State has
set bim a very difficult task. If ho had ank-d,
"What constitutional provision I have not violated",
mv task would bave been most easy. But notwith
standing that, 1 will endeavor, in tbe moments you
allow me, to remind the President of one or two
violations of the Constitution of which he has been
guilty. First then, and this, I think, has struck
tbe American people with more ot shame and mor
tification than any other they have seen the Presi
dent ot the United States, in derogation ot his high
Mice, has been dohberatoly going round the coun
try endeavoring to bring the Congress of the
United States, a co-ordinate branch of tho Govom
nieut, into public hatred, ridicule, and contempt.
There Is no parallel to this oonduot in all time pre
vious. In tbe great contest, lor examole, when
Jacimon was in the chair, between the Executive
and Congress, never was heard from that man of
iron will and positive convictions anything but the
most tespecttul language against the co-ordinato
branch ot the Government. What i the duty ot
tne President ol the United States in thisbetiati!
Jt is to treat each branch of the Government so that
each branch may be respected by the poople iu its
authority, and it is a gross violation ol'tho principles
and ot the spirit of the age, and of the letter of tho
I onstitution, when any branch ot tho Government
seta itself hourly up against the other. (Cheers )
It is no excuse lor the Prosidout to affirm that Mr.
S'eveus, or Mr. Sumner, or any other member of a
branch of tbe Government uses unbcoo ning lan
guage towards bim, or opposes him, beoauso they
are individuals only and not a dopartmont ot the
tioverumeut, whereas Cougress as a body has nover
treated him otherwiso than with lespect.
Ballled in bis hopes of subordinating tbe Congress
to his sovereign will, ho was determined to break
it down as tar as his voice and influence went, so as
to familiarize the people with tho idea that the Con
grets is not a constitutional boay, but one watch
ought to be suppressed, si lnierfeiinn with the resto
ration of thepieace and unity of tho nation. Evi
dences ol this design are not wanting. What else
did tho question oi his Secretary of State mean,
when ho asked tho people of the West whether they
would have air. Johnson "King or President?" it
was a threat to the people. We answer It In all
humbleness. "As neither, thank you, sir." Uheers
and lauphtcr.
I he President, in his own cholco rhetoric 'has
characterised the National Legislature as a rump
Congress, as an excrescence hanging onthevergo
ot the Government. Mark the lowio ot the argti
nient which he here advanced, as he stood on ihe
HV.oJj? 7nwn,o,ablo Journey ostens blv made to

Now, it ibis Congress is only a "lum'n" of a Ton
giess, does rt not follow, by the nio.t tnexorih
logic, th( be J hut xump el t'rwWwii, t ots
of laughter and cheers. And if the legislative
branch is hanging on tbe verre of the 'government.
Is not the Executive In like manner hanging on the
same verce, so near, indeed, as to tempt us to wish
be might tall oft? ( Renewed che rs and lauphter )
Again, In answer to the President's question. "What
constitutional provision have I ever violnted?" I
aiivwer, he has corrupt!? misused the con-titnttonal
power of removal and appointment to office; and
overridden that constitutional power which gives
to the Senate tbe power ot adv. sing and
confirming his appointments. I agree with
Attoi n y-tie neral Stauberv in bis opinion
that the Constitution gives tbe President tbe
unlimited power of removal and appointment,
because it mnt Nt lodged somewhere, as bad offioors
are to be removed and vacanoe are to bi tilled, that
the Government may go on. When in the Conven
tion that framed tse Constitution tbe question came
np, Shall we give this tremendous power to the
Executive? the great and good msn of tne day said,
te may use it tor his own purpose, and may theu
seize the Government to himsoif. The answer was.
We winst still rive it, but any improner use ot it is
an impeachable offense. (Cheers) And that Is vet
Uo reim dy for a wionglnl use of that power which
tho peoplo have resolved to tbemselves.
How, then, tel ow-citizens, has the President used
this appointing power? Does he consult tbe Senate?
Does be not use this power wickedly, corruotly, and
tor b's own purpose- f Has he not said always and
openly that every man who noes not support bis
policy shall be removed ; or, to use bis own chsAti
arid din ni tied language, "kicked ont?" (cheers )
Is liat, in all houe-ty and fairness of Jndgmont, a
proper nso ot the appointing power? (Cries ot "No I
Neitjr!")
1 lie President bas already since the adjournment
reoppolnted more than thirty persons to oflico alter
they had been rejected by the Senate, upon his own
nomination, thus showing that he intends to use this
power in spite of and against tho advioo and consent
ul the Senate, lhere is nuothsr violation ol tne
Constitution ot willed the President bas been guilty.
Jt places in Congress the power ot declaring war, and
in ibosc nnte tbepoworol controlling the Kxocutive
in concluding a ncaco, Irom tbe uocessitv of their rati
ii ont ion oi trealioB. Nav, more it requires a vote of
two-thirds. Now, by the act ol July 13. 1801, Con
grtss, as has been unanimously decided by the
Supreme Court, mndo provision for and declarod to
existapublio territorial war between the United
Slates and insurgent States.
That war the greatest in extent and results that
the woild ever saw tbe 1'residoet, without con
tusing the Senate, has attempted to bring to an end
bv bis own proclamation of poace. Ho has done this
act. beyond o l question, to omhaiass tne Senate and
House in their action towards iho insurgent States
that we had connuored. Our p tbllo civil war dit
lered from a nubl cwar only in this, that itsrosults
mmlit an'oct citizens who were none tho les citizens
because ihey were enemies and traitors, and no les
public enemies because they were citizens A tor
elm war, affecting other nations, could only
be lerminatod by treaty, but the tact that
ours were domestic enemies makes the case
B'ronger against the President, because peaci
in such a war might require legislation to
regulate the duties and establish tho rights
ol Utoly Insurgent subdued citions. Where under
the Constitution does the 1'residciit get tho oower
to make a peace by bis own act for his own p ir
pofcsf Again, the Constitution proides that Con
press sha'l make rules for the disposal of all cap
tured property by land and sea. 1'his was expressly
put there to j.reveut tbo Executive from taking pro'
pet ty enptured in war. and cou vertin it to his own
use. Kings had claimed in tho O.d World as their
pit rotative the control oi property captured from
the enemy, and the right to distribute it among
their retainers.
in making our Constitution our fathers put the
control of sneh appointing power into the hands of
Cougress. If Congress had made uo ru es for the
disposal of captured men and property, pot hap j the
exigency might have justified the President in dis
posing of them, but Congress oia make rules and
regulations for the disposal of that property in the
act ol confiscation. Yet, in deiiauce ot these inws,
President Johnson. In the exorcts9 ot fie pardoning
power, and by bis direct order, has given bnck to
public enemies millions and mil, ions ot property
captured in war on land and on water, and attompted
to dispose of all our enemy's property so captured
bv our arms in public war. . The question I now
make is not whotbur U is wise or unwise to return
pioperty or roinsiatu in their rights such men.
but whether in detianco of the Constitution and laws
ot Congress he has a right to givo back the property
or dispose ot person. Still, again, we in the North
bavo to pay our taxes not only to tho interost of tho
national debt, but the debts of the individual Ntn'os,
ow, although Confres passed a law assessing their
duo proportion ol'tho direct iax upon tlio South, and
orders sate of property lor the non-payment of these
taxes, tho Presidout defied laws on his own respon
sibility. He directed all-such sa es to bo stopped at
the South, and allowed taxes duo from Rebels to
remain uncollected, wbilo lovul mon in tho North
must work out both theirs, National and State, when
dim, or bave their property sold.
Yet the Constitution says the Prosldent shall take
care that tbe laws arc faithiully executed, and be
makes oath that he will execute the duties of Presi
dent. Therefore, my friends, I can say to Presi
dent Johnson that General liutler ; that
the Congress of the United States, sooner
or later, will put on record in due lorm
a list of these and other direct violations
of the Constitution, and call upon him either to
justify them er answer lor them. ( Tremendous and
repeated cheers.) General Butler says that when
ever a man proves false to pledgos he has given to
obtain public position, whenever a man attempts to
be' ray his country at th call of personal ambition,
whenever a man tries to control tho will of people
by corrupting their servants with office and place,
whenever a man threatens tho people that he
will use their anny and navy against them,
whenever a man seeks to revolutionist) th s Govern
ment by maliguing a Congress of their choice, and
by stigmatizing their purest patriots, whom tliev
honor, as traitors, while he fondles the first Kebols
in his boom, that man shall surely rind the poop e
of the United States and the Congress of the United
States can easily devise a remedy tor every wronr
done the country, and protection'againat every usur
pation of power. (Loud cheers). He wi'l further
find that the peoplo of this country know how to
deal with a usurping President, a King or a Dicta
tor. (Cheers). Permit me now to thank you most
gratefully for the too kind and courteous reception
you have given me. I must be allowed to think it
largely due to the introduction with which the Pre
sident presented me to the citizens of Cleveland.
( Laughter). I bid you, each and al1, a lair good
nijiht. (Prolonged cheers.)
A Case of Crim. Con. In High Life In
Louisville, Kentucky.
From the Louisville Democrat, September 26.
A'' man well known here, and who moves
among tho tipper tens, has the fortune of having
a wife who is beautiful and attractive, being a
great favorite in the society in which she moves;
and besides his wife,the family of the eentleman
consists in, we believe, two interesting children.
51r. M., as we shall style bim, is often from
home, and during bis absence it hai been hinted
tluit Mrs. M. had received clandestine visits
irom some of the sterner sex, but this her lord
would not pay the least attention to, as he bo-lu-vcd
the one whom be had taken for lite to bo
too pure for such conduct, until one day, re
turnlntr homo rather unexpectedly, ho caught,
under peculiar circumstances, one in the bed
chamber of his wife who proved to be a man,
und the truth ot the reports at once flushed
across his mind. Instead of drawing a revolver
and putting an end to tbe existence of one who
hHd marred his pleasure for life, as others have
done, he called his servant, hud his children eot
ready, rind without saying a word to his wife or
her guilty partner, he took the chl'dren and left
the city. Counsel have been employed, nnd
thoueh a suit for divorce has not yet been insti
tuted, it will no doubt be done in a low days.
When the case comes before a Chancery Court
we will give the full particulurs. but until then
the fuels will reninin with the few who are
acquainted with the affair. Amous the imme
diate acquaintances of th parties it Is creating
considerable stir.
Testimonial to an Indian. The President has
ordered to be forwarded to "Iloo-ke op," or
the "Chief," one of the Blackfeet tribe of
Indians, a handsome testimonial of esteem for
his humane conduct in rescuing a white
woman named Fanny Kelly from the hostile
Sioux In 1864. and restoriner her to her friends.
Tbe testimonial is in the shape of a parchment
letter of transmittal, handsomely ornamented
with the American coat of arms in colors, ac
companied by a large silver medal and one
hundred silver dollars.
THIRD .EDITION
FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON.
SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO EVENING TELBORtrU.
Washington, October 1.
The President Collating; the Points of
Ills Forthcoming Annnal Message.
It is understood that the President Is employ
ing every VMsure moment ho can obtain, in view
of the swarm of people who besiege him so con
stantly. In consideiing and preparing the politi
cal points of his forthcoming Annual Message
to Congress, on which more than usual care will
be expended. It is stated by those compe
tent to know, that some of these points have
already been made the subject of Cabinet con
sideration. The President will adhere most
Btreuuously to the line of polioy that has char
acterized his administration. It is believed that
he will take the ground that, while the Consti
tution leaves It an opn question for the courts
whether ordinary legislation is or is not binliug
while States are refused representation, that In
strument is emphulic io its requirement thai. In
the preparation of amendments to the Constitu
tion, all the States that claim and are willing to
exercise tho right shall bo represented. The
President will, therefore1, urge the immediate nd
mission oftho loyal and qual'tied Senntors and
representatives from all the now unrepresented
States, in order that Congress may be enabled
to prepare such amendments as the present con
dition of the country demands. Ho will also
recommend that when Congress is organized
according to his views of the constitutional re
quirement, amendments be prepared adjusting
the questions of representation and taxation to
meet the changed condition of the country. It
is probable that the President will embody In
his message, as a suggestion to Congress, the
two proposition? for amendment submitted last
winter In his reported conversation with a pro
minent Senator. Those propositions were some,
what mutilatd in thetr transmission at the
time, and a corrected version is, therefore, sent
bciewith, as follows:
Representatives shall be apportioned amona
the several States which may be included within
this Union accordina to the number of qualified
male voters as preciibed-by pach State.
Direct taxes shall be apportioned among the
several States which may be included within
tin? Union according to tiie value of all property
subject to taxation In each State.
Tnts amendment not to tike effect until the
census of 1870 shall have been taken.

independent State of the l9thmus, but there
appears no likelihood ol'tho scheme prevailing.
The President's messaae shows the state of the

The Government property, us far as possible,
has been disposed of, and heavy forced loans
levied. In sboit, the country is in a more un
settled and deplorable condition than ever
known.
The wet season continues, but no 6ickness is
prevalent.
There was no late news from the interior.
Don Jose Joaquin Perez has been re-elected
President of Chili.
The port or Valparaiso will soou be defended
by one hundred and titty cannon.
The relations between the allies are daily
growing more Iriendly. Matters in Peru are pro
gressing favorably, and Prestident Prado still
euioys the confidence of the people.
Free trade is about to be re-established be
tween Chili and Peru. Business on the oast
was active, and cotton-growing is on the in
crease. The return of the Spanish invaders is looked
for, and the patriotism of the people has
received afresh and powerful Impulse.
There Is no news from Central America. The
five republics are at peace.
The coffee crop promises well.

to-day, -and a heavy sea bas been running in.
The rain fell during the whole day. The river
stcfimers were unable to land at the wharves
from the roughness of the weather, and were

INFIBETITY.
FREETHINKERS IN COUNCIL.
Persons "of Influence, Talent, and
Consequence" Supposed to be
in Attendance.
Tliey Discover (hat Religion Is a
Mass of Rottenness.
TOBACCO ALMOST AS BAD AS
RELIGION.
CHRISTIANITY ONLY ONE OF THE CRYING
EVILS WHICH AFFLICT HUMANITY.
Tho Promised Regeneration of this "Priest-ridden,
Bigoted, Puritanical, Hypocritical World."
In the columns of a morning contemporary
we discovered the following advertisement:
tJF" INFIDEL CO.NVKNriO ON HUNDaV,
8Uj Instant, in Mitchell's Hall Wo 81J Kourtii
s.reet, above Vine at 2 o'o ock P. M. Ooiogatei and
others will punctually attend, among whom are
many of influence and talent, la the evening
addiescs will be do'ivored on the advantages of
Free Inquiry, eto , by Horace Soavor, oto., of boston,
and othois ot consequonco, to which the pub.ic are
mvi ed.
Regarding it our duty as public journalists to
furnish an exact record of events as they occur,
no matter what may be their tendency; and,
moreover, considering the arguments generally
brought by infidels to the support of their views
as tbe moat effective that can be ujed against
them, our reporter was instructed to repair to
the scene und ascertain wont th so persons "of
influence and talent," and such "others of con
sequence" as might be present, might have to
say for themselves and their belief,
tin arriving at tbe designated number, we
found that the Convention was io be held in a
triuiigular-ehaped upper room, which, during
tbo week, is used tor dancing purposes. It was
carable of holding about ihree hundred persons
but seats were ananaed for only one third of
that number, showintr that tho infidels them
selves fully realized the fact that tney are few in
numbers and far between.
At 2 o'clock, t!ie hour fixed for the opening of
the Convention, nineteen persons In ail were
present. Eighteen ol these wero men; the nine
teenth was a boy. Fourteen sat with their hatj
on; the remaining tlvo with their hats off.
Tbile awaiting the arrival of those who had
disregarded the promise in the advertisement,
that "delegates and others would punctually
attend," 3
Desultory Couversattou
appeared to be the only thing in order, and this
was kept up in a very earnest manner.
The question under consideration by most of
the talkers was the character and nature of a
Christian. Rut, although our reporter was as
attentive as could be, he failed to overhear any
satislnctoiy solution of the problem. Tbe nae
arts also came in for a share of attention, and
the tastes therein of several individuals present
were Ireely ventilated. As an incentive to this
line of thought, one person kindlv diew from a
pocket In his coat-tail a roll of cheao engravings,
which he distributed about bim tor examination.
The record of Miss Anna E. Dickinson was
also gone into, and the fact arrived at that she
was ' a Lincoln woman," whatever that may be.
Two persons evidently "of consequence."
else they would not have been in possession of
so much ready money retired to a corner of
tho hall to arrange some financial matters, and
with such great success that a considerable sum
changed hands during the operation. As to
those who had no appetite for discussion, or no
pocket for financiering, one occupied himself
with a newspaper, and half a dozen puddled the
floor with tobacco juice, while another sought
oblivion in a hearty attempt at whistling.
In this way the time passed, until quarter of
three, when about seventy-five persons were
present, among them five 'ladies of unpreten
tious appearance.
The Convention Organizes.'
Mr. Becket arose and moved that the Conven
tion organize by selecting as Chairman Mr.
Walhn, ot Philadelphia, which motion pre
vuiied, as a mat ter of course. The Chairman; on,
taking his seat at a school desk on one side of
tbe room, proved to be a little, old gentleman,
with prey bair, a huge moustache, andla very
slipjiery tongue. He suggested the propriety of
appointing the other customary officers; where
upon Mr. Becket was selected lor Secretary, and
Mr. Mendon, of the Boston Investigator, for
Treasurer. '
The Chairman then suggested that it would
be well for the Convention to select a Committee
on Resolutions and Address. The proposition
did not meet with especial favor at first, but
finally prevailed, and the following gentlemen
were constituted the Committee: Messrs.
Horace Beavor, Lilly, and Richardson.
The Convention Hard to Find.
The ChRirmnn hero oio'ml i, 1 i
several gentlemen to" have eerienced s0Ine
difficulty in finding the hall iS which they werl
as-cmbled. He suggested that some person
passers-by that tho Infidel Convention was
Wit.Li.n AuPTon volunteered to do this diTty
and lef t the hall lor the purpose. But . belli
desirous of witnessing the proceedingsfhe wrote
one'i ra hneMur'?K three che7$y

and then returned. M 1 '
AUhis point there was a lull In the proceed

tuiin rising to discuss the subject of
Uuallflcatlous for Participating; In the
Convention.
He stated that at the last convention of this
character held in the city, tho first thing dona
was to ascerta.n the belief of those who were
EflW0frnn,',I)reWUt De Who was not
an tnu.iel from voting on any question brought

The uneasiness of the gentleman's mind was
relieved on this point by the selection of Messrs

Mr. Miller stated that llnnuMkv....n.i.

At this point there was another lull, after
which the Convention listened to the
