We extract the following from the New York
papers of Ibis morning:
Tammaay Hall.
From the N. T. Tribune.
An Informal reception was held at the new
Hail yesterday afternoon, and was attended by
Bevt-ral hundred people, who appeared macn
t)ened wllb the aichlteclural design of Hie
bunding, the Interior decoratlous, and the
many-colored class signs over the door whlcli
opens into Bryant's Music Hall, Much specu
lation was indulged in as to the object of the
managers in erecting an arch in front of the
building, and some doubt, was expressed as to
whether the proprietors of tbe Chunier House,
following tbe example of Knox the hatter,
might not sue out an injunction against It, and
cauHe Its removal. From about 1 o'clock till 8
crowds came and went, and many thirsty indi
viduals lingered In hopes of being summoned
to a feast. These last were disappointed, aud
as the Bun began to disappear they took their
leave, with tbe full determination of never
coming back again.
The Notables to the Comvsatloa.
Prominent In the list of delegates from South
Carolina 1m General Wade Hamptou, the noted
leader of tbe Hampton Legion, a brigade of
Rebel cavalry organized exclusively In the
Palmetto Btaie. General Hampton's beautiful
residence at Columbia was destroyed by the
Union army In 18t4, and he was otherwise much
damaged by the war which he and his com.
patriots labored so lalthfully to bring about and
to render glorious to the cause of slavery and
treason, lie was the first Kebel to acknow
ledge tbe right of a freedrnan to speak in publio
on the stage, and d id, in I860, deliver an eloquent
address in continuation of remarks made
by a dusky orator, formerly a chattel, but
recently transformed into a tanman being by
the Emancipation act, who spoke from the
same platform and to the same mixed audi
ence of blacks and wbltes. General Hampton
is a gentleman of culture, Is muoh loved by
those who are intimately acquainted with him,
and held in the highest respect by the people
of his district and State. He was thoroughly
rebellions during the war, but Is now recon
structed, having taken tho oath and received
bis pardon for all past offenses against tbo
Government He will be very active in the
Convention, but not being a well-drilled politi
cian, can bardly hope to Influence
many of tbe hypertrophled veterans, except
In case he snail happen to be on
the 6trong Bide, when he will serve as a
light weight. From the same State oome ex
Governor B. F. Perry, a Democrat of the strictest
sect, and ex-Senator James Chesnut, who was
one of the original Secessionists, and was often
honored by his constituents. He resigned his
seal In Congress on the 10 ih of November, 1860,
on tbe same day on which the SoutU Carolina
Legislature authorized the banks to suspend
specie payment, and appointed the 21st of No
vember as the day of humiliation and prayer.
At this time the State flag wus waving from all
public places, and the Stars and Stripes were
nowhere to be seen.
A. P. Aid rich is also a delegate from the hot
bed of secession. He it was who, while a mem
ber of the Sontb Carolina Legislature, in 18(K),
ottered a resolution to expel all free colored
men from the Slate, and who first suggested
the holding of a convention of the people to
decide upon secession from tbe Union, Geno
ral M. L. Bonbam, of the Confederate army,
now disbanded, a military man of but Utile
note outside, ot the district in which his
constituents reside, and who represented
them once or twice In tbe State and Na
tional Legislatures, is another delegate. He,
with Ingns, Perry, Chesnut, and four others,
was appointed by the April Convention, Wade
Hampton, Judge J. U. Campbell, H. B. Rhett,
General Gary, and seven others, were sent bore
by the June Convention. Mr. Rhett, from the
Barnwell District, has been prominent for
many years as a politician. All who bear his
name are disunlonlsts, and fccarcely one can be
found beyond tbe limits of South Carolina.
General Gary, Wade Hampton. 11. B. Rhett, aud
Aldrlch, were members oi tbe State Legislature
when tbe ordinance of secession was pxssed, as
was alsoG. D. Trenholm,afie ward Kebel Sec
retary of tne Treasury.
Two ex-Governors of Alabama will represent
the Democracy of that Stale in the Convention
Lewis Pai sons aud John A. Winston, neither
of them very prominent even in tiaeir own
Commonwealth.
Missouri sends General Thomas L. Prloe, one
of tbe best oillcers In the Western Department
of the Rebel army; from New YorK comes an
array or Democraiio talent most bewildering
to contemplate. First, there is Horatio Sey
mour, who louirbt valiantly tor secession aud
tieason with his tongue, while those whom be
helped to lead into rebellion were rlnklng their
lives in battle. Then there is Samuel J. Tilden,
who wrote the famous New York secession
letter In October, 1800, which he has been re
Quested to read to the Convention in lieu of de
livering a speech. This, It will be reraetnbere 1,
was followed by a similar document Irom
Charles O'Conor, to which the Herald then, as
also two or three limes alterwards, tbe New
York organ of the disloyalists, alluded in the
highest terms of praise. Then there Is Sanford
E. Church, who has been spoken of in connec
tion with the Vice-Presidency. He Is known as
the "pel pelual candidate," a title of honor to
Which his frequent efforts In the direction or an
accidental appro&cb. to tne White House emi
nently entitle him.
The delegation from Pennsylvania fairly
bristles with glorious names. tsumuelJ. Ran

ex-Governor Ulgler, the mighty but unassum
ing leHler of the unlerrifled in days gone by.

creet partisanship of General MeUlelluu, and
tho superior strength of hlo oppoueut, who op

clared ex. cathedra that greenbacks were
not a legul tender and who, in the

from the Fifth; and, to sum np hrlofly. an otlloer
of Ihe law, 11 valiant leader of free and indepen
dent cllizens who vote early ud pl'ten, aud a
prominent member of tho Keystone Club of
Philadelphia. Besides itn.se there are name
rous members of Congress and a legion of ward
politicians, as yet only known among thulr im
mediate followers.
Tennesste sends General N. B. Forrest, of
Rebel lame, immortalized by his heroism ul
Fort Pillow, where uuarmed men were but
chered in cold blood because their skins were
dark aud they had received no patent from
President Davis lor the use of improved lire,
arms against the chivulry. With him comes
Fdimind Cooper, the President's Private
Secretary,
PeMsylvnla.
now the 52 votes of the Pennsylvania delega
tion will be cast, is still exceedingly problem
atical. That the Hon. Asa Packer will receive
a complimentary vote from the delegation,
Jbtr8 appears o be no doubt. But beyond, this
there is scarcely a sincere desire to support
blm. Nearly all the members of tbe delegation
are in the oily. They are to meet at Irving
Hall to-day, at 12 o'clock, but as yet have taken
no concerted action. In Convention they will
vote as a unit, and their coarse
will probably be determined to-day. Tbe
western part of the State Is almost unanimous
for Pendleton, but the eastern and northern
sections are divided between Packer and Han
cock. Pendleton can scarcely carry more than
a dozen votes in the caucus today, butwtmt
Hancock's strength maybe is hard to deter
mine. A meeting of t he delegation, called at
tne Instance of Judge Woodward aud Congress
man Boyer.was held in Philadelphia yesterday,
but nothing was done to shape the course of
the delegation. This meeting is slid to
have been intended originally to favor
the Hanoock Interest, but while Boyer Is
nnquestlonably a Hancock man, Judge
Woodward latterly is claimed as in favor of
Judge Packer's nomination. Among the per
manent supporters of Pendleton, the Hon. John
Ij Dawson, of Fayette, may be named, but
Hroane, of Krle, is said to be tbe only delegate
who comes prepared to support Hendricks from
the start. Hendricks is stronger in this dele
gation than even before his withdrawal, and In
en tain contingencies the vote of the State may
he given him. Until the meeting to-day It is
impossible to arrive at any certain oonclu ion
about tbe course ef thv delegation, as most of
the members have not yet looked each o her in
Ihe face, and are still anxiously Inquiring oi
one another's whereabouts.
PcndUtoa' Chances.
A careful figuring of the votes haq satisfied
Pendleton's Jrlenus that out of six hundred
Hnd thlrly-two votes in the Convention, Pantile
ton vlll receive three hundred and thirty-four
on the first formal ballot, and that If the Penn
sylvania delegation finally conclude to go for
Pendleton be will receive three buudrea and
elgbty-six votes on that ballot. From certain
indications made yesterday, it is believed the
delegation from the Keystone State will cast
their votes for Pendleton, thus rendering his
nomination almost a certainty. Assurances
have been made that as soon as Pendleton
shows a majority of delegates In his favor the
Convention will at once proceed to make his
nomination unanimous by acclamation. The
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, and Wis
consin delegations yesterday pledged them
selves to work for Pendleton as loug as Ohio
stands by him, and to continue so working
until the Ohio delegation give orders for u
change of base.

From the N. Y. Herald.
In response to Inquiries by a prominent
gentleman of this city, and an intimate frleud
ot Chief Justice Chase, that gentleman, that
many of the strange rumors regarding bis
opinions lu the approuchiug canvass now
being prominently circulated, may have em
phatic contradiction, has detined his views lu
a leller, from which the following extracts are
taken:
' Universal suffrage is a recognized democratic
principle, tbe application of wnicu is to bo left,
under tbe Constitution of the United Slates,
to the States themselves.
Universal amnesty and complete removal of
all disabilities on account oi participation lu
the lute Rebellion is not only a wise and Just
measure of public policy, but essentially neces
sary to tbe beneficial administration of good
government in the States recently Involved in
civil war with the United States and to the full
and satisfactory re-establlshmentof the prac
tical relations of these States with the other
States oi the American Union.
Military government over any State of the
Union in time of peace Is Incompatible with the
principles of civil lloerly. nor can the trial of
private citizens by military commissions be
sanctioned by a people Jealous of their freedom
and desiring to be free.
Taxes should be reduced as far as practicable,
collected impartially and with strict eoonomy,
also apportioned bo as to bear on wealth rather
than on laboi; and while all national obliga
tions should be honestly and exactly fulfilled,
no special privilege tbould be allowed to any
classes of individuals or corporations.

culty Is reported between Commander Bridge'
of the English war steamer Chanticleer, and the
Mexican authorities. The Chanticleer was oir
Altala, in a dangerous position, and fired signal
guDB for assistance, A pilot went out aud re
leased tbe ship from danger, but the Captain
refused to pay for the services rendered, and
went to Mazatlan. The Colleotor ot the port of
Mazatlan notified oue of the officers of the
Chanticleer, who was carrying speole on board
o avoid export duly, and had him arrested,
and on being searched gold was found on his
person.
The captain of the Chanticleer came ashore
In great excitement, declaring that the vessel
and himself were Insulted by the search of his
subordinates. Words followed, which ended In
the Collector ordering the captain to be
searched, under the impression that he was also
Implicated in smuggling.
The Captain theu went aboard the Chanti
cleer, and notified the inhabitants by procla
mation, tbat he was about to bom bird Maz dUn
lor the insult to the Kuglish flag. Numerous
Dotes parsed between Commander Bridge,
General Corona, and the civil authorities; tue
American Consul acting as mediator. Ulti
mately Bridge modified his proclamation so as
to place the port of Muzulau under blockade,
so far as Mexican vessels were concerned, not
interfering with American or other foreign ves
sels, until he can receive orders from the Ad
miral commanding the station.
The action of General Corona and the Mexi

rnn into lost night off Cornfield lightship by
the steamer Stale of New York. The City of

Further Particulars.
New LoNoeN, July 3. The steamer City of
Boston, of the Norwich line, from New York,
was run into lHKt night by the steamer State of
Nw York, at 10 45, when off the mouth of the
Connecticut river, producing serious damage
to the first-named boat, and injuring quite a
number of passengers, and it is feared resulting
in tbe loss of three lives. The Boston was
struck amidships, carrying away her wheel
house, and demolishing five state rooms. A
dense fog prevailed at the time. Tne esoipe
from great loss of life was quite providential, a
both boats were covered with passengers. The
steamer Boston was relieved by the steamer
City of New London, which remained by the
disabled boat until half-past 2 o'clouk iul
morning, taking off the passengers and bi
gage. The Boston was left partially on her
side, anchored, and wtil be towed in at once.
Assistance was also offered by the steamers of
the Stoniugton and Norwich Hues. Old boat
men pronounce this the most remarkable es
cape irom great loss of lifo within their recol

entitled to great praise for their devotion to the

The probable loss to the Boston Is $75,000.
