The gentleman then occupying the Chair stated that the President of tbe Convention, owluer to slc&ness, had trono home, and he would suggest that the roll of tho Vice-Frebt-dents be called. The roll was called. Only one answerlmt to his name, Brother Avers, who took the Chair. The minutes of yesterday's proceedings were rend aDri adopted. The question for di'cussion this morning wa: 'Is it bent 10 allow l he several classes in the Sui day School to have a ditlTent lesson of their own selection d urine the same session, or would it not be butter for the whole pchool to have the tame lesion, aud the exercises of the day conclude with a brief review ot said lesson by tbe pastor or tupenniendont ?" There were udvocatcs for both parts of tbe question, but those in favor ot tbe latter part were predominant. Where a grading system prevaih they thoueht it best to have separate lesions, but where that system was not adopted they advocated one lesson for the whole school. Some thought there was too much formality in the present regulations ot Sabbath Schools. Dr. Cooper said he hoyed that the missionary caune would not be loraotten. Our church is a missionary church. The discussion having ended, Rev. J. Dicker hoii. the Chairman of the Finance Committee, said Ihe Finance Cotumictee leel some concern that they shot.

Tbe chairman then read tbe report, which was to the ell'ect that 75 would be necessary to meet the expenses, and it was desired that tbe money be raised this morning. Some one proposed that a collection should be taken up at the children's meeting, but this met with stout opposition, The representatives of the different churches then subscribed various amounts, the aggre gate amounting to $97, of which $34 was cash. It was moved and seconded that the outside tcboola be not called on for subscriptions. Several objected, and the motion was with diawn.

The brief despatch which I sent yesterday, denying the truth of a "special despatch" which appeared in the Ledger of your city on Thursday morning, scarcely exposed the ridiculous but mischievous canard. President Johnson authorizes me to state that be has never even thoueht of putting such questions to the Attorney-Ueneral, and that he bad already acknowledged the constitutionality and legal rights of the present Congress in a thousand different ways. Attorney-General Stanbery says it would have been little less than an Insult to have bad such a series of questions sent to him for an opinion, and thinks that only the ass tbat compiled the questions could ever have seen the plausibility of bis hoax. Mr. Johnson is so much troubled about the thing that be bad determined to have the affair investigated, but for tbe backdown of tbe Ledgir telegraphsd here this morning. Inquiry at the telegraph ollice has not yet hown that any such telegram as that pub lished was sent hence on Wednesday night to the Ledger, and it is believed among the cor respondents here tbat the whole despatch was made tip in Philadelphia a canard out of tbe whole cloth. Another notable fact Is, that the Associated Ptcss agent in Philadelphia (who is he?) did not send the bogus despatch to this city. Why neglect Washington and send the despatch to New York, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, and other gold marts f J. S. N. THE "LEDGER" HOAX. Despatches of Denial to the Jfeto Yurk Papert. The LcdKer'i Correspondent Denies having sent the Dcupatch, From the New York Tribune of to-day. Washington, October 11. There is no founda tion for the special despatch of the Philadelphia Leaoer, regarding certain interrogatories pur porting to have been made to Attorney-General Stanfcerv by the President. Mr. "Stanbery emphatically pronounces the statement a ca nard, and further adds there never has been any conversation, even, between himself and Mr. Johnson upon any subject bearing in the slightest upon any such topic. The President "stated to your correspondent t mt tbe story is a falsehood, and any reports that mav be in circulation, that he questions the constitutionality ot Congress, are base iab ncatlons, intended to affect the gold or stock Uiurket, and are wicked and absurd. Tbe news created a treat sensation nere. Tne correspon dent of the Ledger denies sending the despatch, aiid the beliet is tbat the story .was concocted iu Philadelphia. What is singular, the Associate 1'iess reporter telegraphed the story all over the country, excepting to Warhington, and nothing was known here of it until the arrival oi the Baltimore papers. It beats the Howard proclamation out and out. Stock Jobbing The Philadelphia "Led ger's" Special Despatch Pronounced Totally False What It Was aud How It Was Done. From the New York Times of to-day. ' Washington, Thursday, October 111 P. M. Private telegrams received here within an hour, sfite the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia ledger telegraphs from ibis city tbat the President has addressed a letter to the Attorney-General, asking substantially as to the constitutionality of not sending a message to Congress, and 11 he has not the power to recog nize the Southern Representatives and the Ad ministration Representatives of the North as llie legitimate Congress, etc. It is stated, also, that in consequence of this report gold bad advanced. Upon inquiry, I ran pay that there is not one word of truth in tbe leport of the Ledger. It is utterly untrue. SECOND DESPATCH. Washington, Thursday. October 114 P. M. Tbe report is totally talse. This is from tbe president himself. THIRD DESPATCH. Washington, October 119 P. M. One of the nickedeot lies ever invented in journalism was spread broadcast over the country this morning bv that well kuown combination the Philadel phia Ledger and tbe Philadelphia agent of tbe A ociated Press. It is sufficient to eay tbat the Ledger's story about tbe President calling t.u the Attorney-General for bis opin ion as to tbe legality of the present Congress is false trom bee inning to end. Both the President aud the Attorney-General authorize its emphatic denial, aud there is birong reason to believe that tbe despatch was never sent trom this city, but was cooked up iu Philadelphia as a stock-jobbing operation. While on this subject I wish to warn the public a&ainst pretended news which gets out through tnls same source. It has frequently happened that senations are sent to tne Ledger from this city and the eame night given to the Associated Press Agent in Philadelphia, who advertises the Ledger by sending the despatch all over the country. Let the public remember that when such great pains are taken to get the news out It is generally ialse, and never more so than when it bears an air of high importance aud great exclusive nesi. Tbe effect of this canard here to-day was to pour a perfect flood of inquiries Into the several departments and newspaper agencies from every quarter; und the telegraph l'ues being tempo rarily out of order, tbe speculators had it their own way for a short time. The above despatches are from Mr. B, C. Tmman, formerly Private Secretary to Presi dent Johnson, and a particular friend oi "Hi ccldency.r Ed. Evening Telborapu. . est".. The President Indignant. from the New York World uf to-dty. Washington. October 11. The sensational despatch, attributed to a Philadelphia paper, and purporting to recite as a tact that the President bad submitted to the Attorney-General certain inquiries aj to whether be was legally bound to recognize the present Congress as a constitutional body, created considerable excitement here to-duy, notwithstanding that an official contradiction was so close at hand, tbe President and Attorney-General were justly indignant at the fabrication, and were very prompt In desiring its general denial. It turns out to be purely a canard, which did not even originate in Washington, and was never telegraphed from here. Its whole origin is, so far, traced to the gold speculators, where it seems, for the time being, to have served its purpose. The Design of the Despatch, From the Xtw York Herald of to day. Washington, October 11. During to-day many inquiries by telegraph were received iu this city asking whether thore was any truth In the Washington despatch to the Philadelphia Ledger, relative to the President, the Attorney Oeueral, and Congress. On the despatch being read to tho President to-day, he pronounced it lalse from beginning to end. Attorney-General Sianbeiy made an equally positive denial. The canard Is reported to have originated with certain scheming politicians to bear unfa vorably upon tbe approaching election in New York. The city was flooded with rumors con cerning the despatch, and it was not until a late hour in tbe day tbat reliable information on the subject could be procured. There is no doubt tbat the President is ardently disposed to pur sue a conciliatory course, and sensational des patches like tbe one tbat has created so much stir should be distrusted by houest people all over the country. Graceful Backdown by the "Ledger." Ihe Public Ledger of this morning "takes it all back," as follows: "A despatch from one of our Washington cor respondents, published iu the Ledtier yesterday, relating to an alleged series of questions cou cerning the status of the present Congress, said to have been submitted to the Attorney-General by the President, excited considerable Interest. It was trom an experienced, well-lnlormed, and usually careful correspondent, and therefore was published as we received it, and of course without any indorsement by this journal. "Alter careful inquiry made yesterday at Wash ington, we have come to the conclusion that our coirespon.lent was deceived, and whatever may have been the foundation for this statement, we arc now satisfied tbat no such questions have been propounded by the President to tho Attorney-General. While we sincerely regret tbat an error onsoimportantasubject has found its way Into the Ledger, even in our correspond ence, we are glad to be aole to record the fact that the President has not raised so serious a question, for no pound lawyer can doubt the entire legality ol the existing Congress." A False Report. Tbe report that the President has concen trated 25,000 troops in this neighborhood is without foundation, as the following is an accu rate roster of the troops In the Department of Washington, which extends irom Annapolis, Md , to Georgetown, D. C.: 12th U. 8. Infantry, 30th, 17th, 8th, and 1st and 2d Veteran Reserve Corps, 107th (J. S. Colored Troops, three com panies Sth U. S. Cavalry, three companies 4th U. 9.

Gonzales and Pclll cier were executed shortly after 10 o'clock to-day, in the Raymond btreet jail, Brooklyn, within a few blocks of the scene of the murder of Senor Gtero. They made a full conlcssion of participation in the murder, and charged Vlele with being the planner and chief assassin. Neither of them manifested any particular emotion on the scaffold. Gonzales seemed a little frightened, but Pelll cier was calrif'tMid composed. Their r.ecks were not broken by tbe fall, but death ensued very quickly, There was no struggle on Gonzales' part but Pelllcler's contortions were terrible for some moments The Steamship "Asia."
