Ou one bide of the platfoim wnlcb oocnpies oue third of the snuilie.ru end, was the lelugrapa office, with Its noisy Instruments, its busy operatots, and Us busUlug pas running 10 aud iro with despatches to and from hiixiou.i lelt gates and their consUi uvula lu all ptrisof the country, and lrotn tlio many rearnseijlaiivbs " f ihe provincial press to tnelr respective, and, Id some cases, rep ctable j'urnals.,hiiii lreds of milesaway.

The galleries were crowded With flushed laces, and pauling f irms dl vested of vests and denuded ns to coats ami nocklles. To the credit of the galleries be It said that most of the ocjupauts were narehe tiled, and ' li at during the proceedings of i tie Convention there was no disturbance, and but llltlo noise, except where It ban been proscribed that the applause should tie brought lo. Thatlhe hint, wnlcb was always given by some r :r. r.onvivii, uesr the Speaker's stand, was qti'cliiy taken ' and ns piompily acted upon, can be easily finessed. That a blunder ws made at one very iiteiesting stage of the ceremonies will be seen directly. Scattered over the room were veteran Ds lat erals, upon whose bald heads the eye re-ted but a moment, as the reflection of the Hunt from the windows whs painful, and tne memories Galled up when one recognized the faoes so Ion prominent In the paal blsmry of the paityof slavery nnd corruption were by no muaus plea sant. There were other heads, however, ou younger shoulders, which nave governed the actions of men and communities in th wroni direction, but which may yet be turned, throuih the Itllueuceot an advancing civilization, to become tbe source of nauoli that shall redound to the honor and glory of our country. Certain Notuble Delegates. At the tend of ihe Pennsylvania delegates sat Heister Oly aicr, a man of strong bulid, of great mental power, and posset-slug a strength ot will truly astonlshlnn wuen one considers tne bitter disappointments towhlch ne has been subjected In his short life of 43 years, lie nlw.vs dresses neatl; Is a quiet gentlemanly speaker; Is fluent and graceful, and in knowledge f Parliament ary usage, lu quickness to seize a point, woe i trier nf ionic or si rateKy. has no superior in the Convention. Not far li om htm sat the notorious Bill MoMnllen, too well kuownto the general publio to require description. He was very quiet on Baiurday, and probably will be during the emlre session, as his province is not to talk, but to organize the rougher working material of bis purl y for active service during acam- paign. One ol ibe most notioeable men in the Convention is General Napoleon lioniparte Forrest, the hero of the Fort Pillow massacre tall, fine looking, well-formed, nervous, and evidently not oi-indiued to attract a'tentlou. Surrounded by the delegates of his Statu sat "Wane Hampton, of Couiederate Cavalry fame, a strong, vlgotous, active-looking man. of splendid personal appearance, anl for a Urns the observed of all observers.

Important Letter from Mr. Cbase. Tbe following letter from a distinguished et tesman of Ohio, addressed lo a gentleman in this city, was sent to Chief Justice Chase last week: J one 25 There is a growing disposition anion tbe Democracy of the West to accept of Cnlof Justice Clim.e as thoir candidate. If cordially received by the party, bis eleotion wll be oer tain, and It Is the safest and bestwectn do. I see the Vommercitd doubts bis cnusnutlng to leavetbequesilou ot suffrage wltboutdlstincilon of race to the Btates, and considers it a depar ture Iroin his long avowed principles. This I dJ not perceive. Chapels in favor of two things tbu Constitution of tbe United Btates, includ ing the rlghtsot t.heS'atesnuder It, and suffrage wlibout otstinctlon of race, and I think he has never said he would violate the first in order to secure tbe last, and it is noian inconsistency or a ilepnrinre from princUie to refuse the at tainment of nn end. however desirable, by an (assumption of ungranted powers. HEri.Y OF CHIEF JUST1CB C II ASK. In returning the foregoing letter to the gen tleman to whom it was addressed, the Culef Justice very clearly and tersely dennes his post lion on the question of suffrage lu relation lo national politics as follows: "July 1. 1808. Please say to your friend that he is entirely right es to my views ot suffrage and Biate rlghtB. What I desire for the Houtn t rn Btates Is pence and prosperity, wit U all dis-frtmcbh-eraents and disabilities remove 1 and all rlphts restored to all citizens, and it is my opinion that these ends will be best secured by according suffrage lo all clil.ens. Hut tne prac tical disposition f the question of suffrage, as well as ail other domesllu qustlous. Is for thd pet. pie. of the Siaies themselves, not for out siders. On this question I aduera to my old Blate rights dnclriut s. "in the event of nomination and success, I trust that I Simula so act mat neltner tbe great party which makes the nomination, norths great bo ly of patriotic clllzius waone co-operation would insure success, would have auy cause to regret their ucllou. It is an lolcne desire with ma to see the Demotrailo p-iriy meeting the questions of ine dav in the spirit of ibday,and assuring to itself a long dura. Hon of ascendancy. It can do o ir it will." Saafurd K. Church., The World savs editorially: "The New York delegation have proceeded with great deliberation, eause they ibougut it due lo ihe Hiate, and to the cause, that they should uot give their support to anv candidate whom Ihey were not deter mined to stand oy uutil two thirds or the Convention are brought to bis support. Tney have given a liberal on- blderailnn to every oundidaie iroin other HtHes, but In a comparison of tnelr competing claims tbe New York delegation have Imcome con vinced that Mr. Church la as will qualified as any of them fortbeotlice, and has better iibannes of an election.

The Paris ManUmir du Holr. alludlnir In II bulletin to a reoent speech, of Mr. Disraeli, say.: "Mr, DinrneU has very exactly iuuimed np tie opinion of the powers and of the pallt'nat men in Europe, by stating that in the so nl Btateof affairs tbe political horleon la unelcuded by any menace of war. The Government u tbe Emperor neglects nothing to maintain a id stiengthen the good nndertanding which has teen so happily established between all tie powers. Ideas of moderation and of wisdom facilitate this agreement. They are valuable auxiliaries totb. development of the general Interests of Europe." The Pape'a Coaslstorjr. On June 22 tbe Pope held a secret consistory, at which His Holiness nominated several Bishops, arid afterwards pronounced two allo cutions. Tbe first of these referred to the pub lication of the bull convoking tbe General Council, and Ibe other to religious affairs in Anrtria. In the latter Hta Holiness deplored and condemned as abominable the Civil Mir risge law, and the other laws depriving tne Church of control over schools, and estab'lsa ing freedom of tbe press and liberty of c ju science. The Pope declared these laws null and void, censured ihelr authors, approvers, and executors, praised the conduol or the Austrian Bishops ss defenders of the Concordat, and hoped that the Hungarian prelates would fol low their example.

In his sermon at Piymoum Church, yesterday morning, Kev. Henry Ward Beeoher said: It is a momentous question whether any nation bus the moral coutag) to say, we refund lo make material profit ou to' open opportuni ties w bleu involve tyranny mid wrong, ludeeu, it is a most dangerous tiling to tempt a nation in this way. Given tbe promise of a vast c nu mercu. given an increase of wealth as the remit of an tggresslve and cruel course, aud there is riaruiy any people wnicn win uotsiuK tue dic tates t t liumllitv. eenerositv. meeknesM. and kindness for the mere sake of mater lai gaiu. it remains to ne Been n mis people have the magnsnimity to act from their hlguest interests. The present poliiioal year will decide It, will decide whelhey tbey support piiuclples of kindness, large principles, prin ciples ot honesty, orwbetber tbey respond lo tne temptation already laid out for luem, to become strong by grindiug tbe weak, audio increase by aggression on others. Where are the men who are truly great? I have beeu cognizant, actively cogniztnt, of publio affairs since 1810. From thai time to mis, two gene rations nave risen and gone beyond. Of lueir popular idols then aud now, it Is safe to say tuhleveiy one of them has been made aud is made, -simply by rioting himself In a newspaper, and growing as mushrooms do, on a dunghill. We grow more mushroom men than any nath-n in the world. It only requires ten years to place a man in consplcuay, and to bury him with us. Tuese be men of power, but not of iufluence. Tuey represent so much physical force, but ihey la fluence no one. Tne pnt bad such. It had Hannibal. Alexander, Ciesar, Napoleon, Wel lington; and it Is true mat wnlie ihey were, they were powerful. But they died, aud to-day (heir deeds and tbe memory of them leave not a vestige of Influence behiud. We have suou rbaracters in our time, at d we are invited to honor them. It remains to be seen If the Americans will spurn these creatures of clay, tbeso massts of animalism, and rise to reward ing men of moral principle, of Curistian char acter, ol civil capacity suon a man as has stjod by an idea through thick aud thin, and has calmly waited till even bis foes vindicate his virtue and bis courage, by adoplug his far sighted, ever-held views as tnelrown, In the evening, after tbe u-ual devotloaal exercises, Mr, Beecuer selected as bis text tue fifteenth verse of the twentieth charier of Exodus: "Thou shall not steal." He btgan by saying thai tnere was no other text in the Bible that was better understood and more universally broken ibaa iheonnne had Just read. Tnere was no otner period in our national history when it was orokon so olten aud so openly as at tbe present oay. It was time that thl- tiutu.tbouga au old one, should be learned by all par. las aud all oiasses aud conditions of men. Bieallng was going oa In eveiy condition of society, and fraud seemed lo be tbe rule in almost every busluess and pro fession. In some occupUlous It hid got 10 be come a thing to be expected, and nooae wassur. prised. The railway management of the coun try was especially corrupt. He honestly be lieved tbe majority of tbe railroads of the Untied Btates lo be corruptly used for tbe pur pose of enriching the mauagera at the expense ol tbe stock holders, and that tbose concerned in their management could be ca led nothing else than corrupt. Bubordlnates were also dis honest, aud railway companies lound it dun cult In these days to obtain persons wuom Ihey could trust. Mr. Beecuer alluded lo the govern ment of tbeCiiy of New York aisome lengtti, sa) ing it would be known as lOngasBodom aud Gomorrah, aud for largely tbe same reasons. The Legislature of New York was also corrupt, and stealing was customary with botn piriles. It was a question which was most ad-olt in stealing, tne Democrats or Republicans; whichever parly went up, it went to steal and whichever party came down came down to mutter beoause Ihey hadn't a chance to steal. (Laughter.) Cor ruption was alo me in the Legislature of tne Btates of Peui sylvanla, Konsas, Knode luaod, and Massachusetts, iu ihe latter B.aie atmosi as bad as in tbe Btaleof New York. Aud now, Bald tbe speaker, it is surl 'Usly proposed to carry the nation bodllv Into this nn of thieves, aud by the repudiation ot ihe nation ! bouds to steal from those who, in our emergency, ad vanced their means for the purpose of main taluii g our national life and Unlou. I regard Ihe refusal lo pay Ihe bouds of tnese Uuited Btates In gold or sliver as belug, lu every dis guise and under every possible piea, an atro clous tue.fi; aud I pronounce lust man, either by mistake or lnteutioualiy, a thief wuo does it, oi attempts lo procure ibe doing of it. His an attempt to make ibis naiioo a vast thieving body. (Applause.) It is nol an aocusatlou that csn ne laid against oue party or tne other. Theie are thieves In both parties that are clamorous for ibis national repudiation. This is a crime that I think would not have its parallel even among knaves. It takes a sort of man smirched wltn patriot Ism aud varnished with piety lo do the wickedest tniug. (Seusa tlou). A pickpocket would not steal the modi cine away from a physlclau who was healing his own mother. But, wulle men in the nation's extremity aud peril lent their aid, it la now proposed that we shall pick: their pockets aud steal from luem. It is a thing for which there were uo titles monstrous enough. It is a thing that every man who has a oousuienoe or a par tloieof honor ought to hiss at and spew at. It Is a shame thai tbe Church that Is so loud against dancing aud oard-playlng, has not a wuiu iu auy against national rouuery. national dishonor, and national rtlahnnealv. Mr. Beecuer then briefly alluded to the grow ing uiBuuneaiy in puoiio ana private ute, ana nrged, as ihe only hope of the nation, tne care ful educating of the young by their parents and teachers In strict honesty as well as Dletv.

New Yorker Will Not be Nominated. .he Convention will not nominate a Nevv York man, as such nomination would destroy Seymour's chance for the future. Asa Packer' Chance. Asa Packer, of Pennsylvania, is therefore now pressed by the leaders of the German vote. Judge Chase's Prtad. The friends of Judge Chase have their quar ters opposite Tammany Hail. They are work ing very hard. They say that unless Chase and Hancock are nominated the party cannot succeed. The First Ballot. Ptndleton will be the strongest man on the first ballot. His friends claim that on the first ballot he will have between ISO an 1 100 voles. If Pendleton la Nominated. (Should he be nominated, either Mayor Hoff man, of New York, or Governor English, of Connecticut, will be placed on the ticket with him. If Pendleton is not nominated he will un questionably have strength enough to make tbe nominee, and be must come from oue of the Eastern States. In that event, General Har cock will probably be the man. alinough his name Is now scarcely mentioned In con nection with the Presidency, Democratic ICnthuslasm. Tbe wildest enthusiasm prevails this morn ing. The various clubs are parading the streets and thousands of people are congregated la the vicinity of Tammany Hall. It is next to Im possible to give the slightest Indications of the "coming man." The Pennsylvania Delegation, and J adge Packer. The Pennsylvania delegation has expressed a determination to stand by Judge Paoker so long as there is achanoe probable of his receiv ing the nomination. His friends are in favor of Senator Klchaidson, of Illinois, forthe Vice Presidency. Senator Hendricks appears to be the second strongest man, but Is opposed by tbe friends of Pendleton. Hanojck would be put on tbe ticket with Hendrlelta. Johnson has Southern Vrlends. Three or fonr Southern Btates are claimed tor Johnson. Ban ford K. Church does not appear to have any strength outside of the New York delegation. This is the gossip of tbe hour. The Resolution. The Committee on Resolutions will not pro bably report before to-morrow. ilueatlon of Adjournment. From present appearances tbe Convention Will not adjourn before Thursday or Friday. Beymour being conduoted by ex-Governor lilgler, of Pennsylvania, to the chair, indicates tbe lendtnoy towards Paoker. It will nar row down to Paoker and Hendrloks. The en thusiasm for Seymour, when he took tna chair, bad no bounds. All the influences of Pennsyl vania, particularly the Germans, are nov in favor of Packer. Despatch to the Auoeiated Preu.
