Associated Piea, wherein Mr. Hlmonion ni-ir-abaled
his forces, and wneretrom he
despatched during the day an amouut
ol reading mailer which, as published In eoi.
limns printed in nearly every Slate, would
make a volume rivaling lu size a m st any dic
tionary given to ti' world brtfore theLloieof
Koah Webster. 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

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

and Ibe dvlegallon has yet to develop a p radi

fate, with their constituents, are earnest f jr

New KDglsnd Is still mixed divided between
rendielon, Blair, Hendricks and Chase men.
The Hendricks movement Is smothered, sub

U'umniany touches the galvanic battery, the
corpbeilht s and looks in a menacing manner
at Pendleton, Hud then lays down agaia with

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

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

teen so happily established between all tie

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.

Ills Sermon Yesterday Politics and Re
ligion Mingled.
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

lo be tbe rule in almost every busluess and pro
fession. In some occupUlous It hid got 10 be

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

THE COVEMION TO-DAY.
Pendleton's Prospects.
Special DesjiMeH to The Evenxng Telegraph.
New Yoiik, July C Pendleton is very strong
for tbe nomination, but the German vole of
Pennsylvania being against him, hecaniaotbe
nominated. Pendleton's strength kills off
Chase.
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

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.

clearly Implied iu tne resolution that Improper

any one to attain the consent of any one of
the chiefs or headinm, all of wuoui freely

Indeed, not only were those who i-ignei tne

deny that any improper means were emplovel
by us to be employed by others to obtain the

our duty, and done It wortnlly aud well,
having in view the best Interests of the
Indians, of the people of Kansas, and of to.9
geneial publio of the United Slates. As our

therefore, appeal through you to your honor
