Tlie Democracy last evening elected their dele gates to the city, county, senatorial, legislative, ami ward conventions, which met this morning for the purpose of nominating standard-bearers who Khali receive tho support of the "iinterrtfled" masses of the city at tho October election. Contrary to usual cuHtoui, no serious rows occurred, or, If any did take Klace which Is more than probable, Democratic policemen have tnVcn occasion to suppress the news. It seems to ho tho Impression that "the ring" had thtnirs all their own way, and that the nominations to-day will be unsatisfactory to the party generally. The conventions all met till morning, anl full re ports o' their proceedings will be found below. THE CITY CONVENTION'. The Proceeding thin Morning. The City Convention mot at 10 o'clock at the Na tional Cijiarda' Hall. Kace street, between Fifth and Sixth, and long before that hour squads of delegates were assembled thereabouts, discussing the merits and chances of the different candidates. There ap peared to be general pood feeling and pleasantry, and there was but little If any confusion. The Sixth Ward Convention met at the southwest corner of Sixth and Hace streets, and between both conven tions an unusually large multitude of persons were assembled in the neighborhood. The convention being called to order, Colonel E. W. C. Greene was called to tho clialr, which gave considerable dissatisfaction to the friends of Mr. .1. N. l'eirsol, City Treasurer, and a candidate for re nomlnatlon, it being alleged that Mr. Greene (who was the friend of Mr. 8. Gross Fry) had been called to the chair prematurely, and before a sutllcient number of delegates had arrived. It was moved that James 8. Watson (Pelrsol man) act as temporary chairman, which, amidst much onfusion, was declared agreed to, and Mr. Watson Ascended the platform. Colonel Greene, however, declined leaving his position, and continued to call the convention to order. Mr. F. B. Degan, In a stentorian voice, said It made but little difference which gentleman presided, but he Insisted on it that both the l'iersol and Fry Inte rest should be represented, either by the chairman ship or a secretaryship. The tumult was finally quelled by a resolution being agreed to that Colonel Greene otllclate as tem- Sirary Chairman, John Koublns (Frv delegate) as ecretary, and Trlah Arnold (Peiraol delegate) also as Secretary. The credit of this harmonious proce dure was due to Mr. Albert Uaskill, a Fry delegate and one of the temporary secretaries, who had been acting as temporary secretary, but relinquished his ..nnt.in frhi.fr Ihn (..nmitiltim ml.rlit ((linna nnnna l The credentials of the delegates from the different wards were then presented. A large number of scats were contested, among which were the following: Filth, Tenth, Tnirteetith, ami Fourteenth divisions of the Third W ard ; Ninth of the Fourth Ward : sixth of the Fifth Ward; Third of the Sixth Ward; Klghth of the Ninth Ward; Fourth of the Sixth and Six teenth Wards; Eighth of tho Nineteenth Ward; and the Fourth of the Twenty-fifth Ward. .. .. The Convention then took a recess until 1 o'clock to enable the Secretaries to prepare their lists of the delegates In alphabetical order. Proceedings of the Afternoon HcnsIoii. On reassembling at that hour, . the Secretaries re ported that they had not completed their lists, and, on motion, a further recess until 2 o'clock was agreed to. At that hour the convention was called to order, and the regular business proceeded wit'- A number of persons being in the room ouier than delegates, and all being thrown topiiier In a mis cellaneous mass, an effort was made to eject intru ders from the hall. To know how to accomplish this puzzled the convention not a little, and for a time there was Indescribable confusion and Irregu larity. A motion was finally agreed to that the delegates retire to the rear of the hall, and then, as their names were called, they should step forward and take their seats. This plan was found to he effectual, but exceed- ngly Blow nni teiOo, wrvl coiwWwoWc mfflonlty was found In properly securing the door against the attacks of- Intruders and the general crowd. 80 great was the confusion that it was Impossible to proceed with the calling of tho roll, and all sorts of motions, suggestions, and appeals were made, and at least half an hour was occupied in an effort to proceed with the roll. The Secretary, Mr. Bobbins, finally went Into the rear of the room amongst the delegates, and the confusion at the door having ceased, the roll was called, and as the delegates answered they took their places, which proceeding occupied the time of the convention until 3 o'clock. THE COUNTY CONVENTION. The Proceeding Tills Morning. The delegates elected lust evening by tho "un terrltied" Democracy to the County Convention to nominate a Coroner, Clerk of the Quarter Sessions, Prothonotory of the District Court, and Recorder of Deeds met In convention this morning In Washing ton Hall, Eighth and Spring Garden streets. At a few minutes before 10 o'clock a number of excited delegates in the interest of some political clique entered the room, and George Mountjoy, at the head of the party, advanced to the stage, and In a hurried manner nominated Isaac Leech for temporary chair man, and declared, him to be Mie choice of the con vention. This strange proceeding spread to the delegates outside, and tliey, In the interest of Mr. Philip Lowry for chairman, came rushing into the room and nominated and elected their man. BoMi mon took positions on the stage and endeavored to legis late In the Interest of their friends, but failed. The excitement was Intense, ami fears were entertained that a general row would occur. An attempt was made to clear the platform, which ha; by this time become crowded with the friends of the opposing candidates, and motions after motions ere made amid great disorder. Delegates shouted IVom every part of the room, and the greatest noise and confusion prevailed. Tho trouble was finally brought to an end by both chairmen retiring, aud Mr. James W. Hopkins, of the Sixteenth ward, call ing the convention to order. On motion of a delegate.Mr. Hopkins was declared the temporary chairman. The other temporary otllcers chosen were: Secretaries John W. ISoilleau, Isaiah Butler, and James Mereto. Doorkeepers James Whalley and Thomas Illsson. Messenger John Lawleu. About an hour's lime was taken tip in receiving the credent ials of the delegates. This work was re tarded by the constant crowding of the delegates around the secretaries, who were much interfered With In the discharge of their duties.- While the credentials were being received the hall was crowded with delegates and outsiders. Alder, man William McMulliu aud his friends were on hand In force, electioneering In the Interest of John Ahem, for Clerk of Quarter Sessions. The Alderman had a dispute with one of the men in thd room.aud as usual he had his own way. At half-past 12 o'clock the Secretary read off the names of the delegates, and received the credentials of those who had fulled to respond when the divi sions were called. On motion of George Mountjoy, the convention ad journed until 8 o'clock. THE LEGISLATIVE CONVENTIONS. First Heiiiitoriitl Dint riot.

RUSH'S BEQUEST, 1 he Meeting of tho Philadelphia. Library Com puny Action! 1'pon Ir. Itimh'n Bequest The Onrnllon of Acceptance. Pout no nod. A large meeting of the stockholders of the Phila delphia Library Coini.nnv was hein tnis morning, ar, 12 o'clock, at the Lib! ary building, Fifth aud Library street. The meeting was culled for the purpose of taking action in relation to the endowment of fiOO.ono.ooO by Dr. James Itnsh. deceased, for the Philadelphia Li brary Company. The immediate business before the meeting was by a vote of the stockholders to cither accept or reject the provisions of the will, locating the branch of the Philadelphia Library Company on a lot on South Broad street, bounded on the south by Catpcnter street, north by Christian street, and oil the west by Thirteenth street. The meeting was a very large one, and the pro ceedings were listened to with the deepest attention. Judge Sharswood whs selected as Chairman, aud Mr. William K. Whitman was appointed Secretary. Mr. Whitman read the call of the meeting, after which Peter McCall, Esq., asked whether a quornm was present. He stated that, under tho law, one quarter of the stockholders constituted a quornm, and as they (the stockholders) numbered 909 mem bers, 4 would be necessary for the transaction of business. It was mentioned that one stockholder present represented bv proxy 183 votes. Mr. McCall moved that tellers be appointed, which was agreed to, and Messrs. William Neal and James Pl(ldle were selected. The tellers reported a qnorum present, and tho President announced that he was ready to entertain any motion. l'eter McCall then Bald he desired to say a few words on behalf of the Hoard of Directors of tho Philadelphia Library Company. The board have not boon able to come to anv conclusion as to what advice to give the stockholders In the premises; whether It would be advisable to accept or reject the provisions of the will. The board asked that further time lc granted to consider the matter. Mr. McCall thought tbut there should be a general expression of opinion on the subject, and the entire matter should be full v considered. He said that Mr. Williams was authorized to select a piece of ground between Fourth and Fifteenth streets, and Spruce and Race, and erect a Ore-proof building, and as soon as said building is completed, then Mr. Williams must convey the same to the Philadelphia Library Company, if they decide to accept the same. Mr. McCall then read the provi sions of the will, and particularly that portion of the codicil which reads as follows : In trust, to select and purchase a lot of ground not less than one hundred and tilt y I net square, situate bottreen Fourth and Fifteenth and Spruce and Race streets, ia the city of Philadelphia, ana tnereon to erect a n re p root building sultii-icntly larne tn accommodate and contain all ihn hrwiLTn of the Library Com nany nfiPhiladelnhia (whose library ia now at the corner of Fifth and Library street ), and to provide for its future extension according to piling, directions, and specification.- which I shall hereafter make or Rive: but if I otiouiu not mime or leave any sain plana, directions, or speciticatiiins, then to erect the aatne ho ...lrfliniF in his beat iudirmeut and to the views which 1 have expressed to bun. It. is my wish that this building should lie exceedingly subsUntiul, completely tire proof, without any large, lofty, or merely ornamental hails or lectore-rooms ; the whole interior to be divided in suoh a way as to contain the greatest number of books, to be well lighten, ana to arruugeu us w uv ui easy anu conve- ninnt ftCOAKa. And upon this further trust, io soon as th's bulldinff is completed ana reaoy Mir occupation, men in trust. 10 con- Ii .... t U ,a l..t .pnnnil ir),nr...n tfr .... . 1 tintn'TiiA I.ihrarvConiDanv of PiituulelDuia"aforesaid.and their successors, for the uses and purpose of their libra' y, and for no other use or pui poae wuatever. Mr. McCall stated that he understood that Mr. Williams, under the request of Dr. Hush, would erect a buildiug on Broad street, between Carpenter and Christian streets, and the stockholders must confine themselves to and make up their minds to accept that locality for the building. He did not think It necessary to accent the building until It was completed, and he thought there could be no legal acceptance until it was completed. He thought that ull the stockholders could do now was to agree to accept the building when completed. Taking everything Into consideration, the board of Directors have come to the conclusion to advise the stockholders to adopt a middle course, aud to postpone for the present any action in relation to the acceptance or rejection of the bequest. The directors do not feel that they have suiHclent light to warrant them In recommending any particular action just now; and when It Is considered that "It is the tirst step mat cosis, me directors woum wee first to know wnere mar step wouiu piace inetn. Mr. McCall then read tne iouowing resolution: ll,ulrrl. That the Directo-s of the Library Onmnanv be and are hereby authorized to accept the bequests and de vina in Dr. Kush's will, it 'B(i wuen tnev snail ueem it ail. visible so to do, and be authorized to procure any legisla tion necessary lor iuc purpose. General Stokes then made some remarks. He stated that Dr. Kush's will provides for the endow ment of the Philadelphia Library. On the neglect of the library company to accept the provisions of the will, a separate library company, to be called the KUlgway LlDrary, win ne at once iormeu. jnow the nuestion orcurs whether. If no action Is taken now. the Kidgway Library will be formed and the Phila delphia Llbrnrv Company be debarred from all bene fits or the wui7 General stokes thoaght the executor of the will. Mr. Williams, should know at once whether the building will be for the use of the Philadelphia Library or the Kidgway Library. If the building Is erected for the Bidgway Library, it may be totally unui ior tne niiiuMcipiim uunvja use. iie re marked that the meeting had been called to act, and If it falls it may be construed into neglect, and Mr. Williams may proceed at once with the Kidgway He proposed an amendment to Mr. MoCall's reso lution, asionows: Hrmlrrd, That the stockholders of The Library Company of Philadelphia have heard with pleasure of the munifi cent bequest of the late lr. James Rush. That they desire that the Directors of The Library Com pany of I'lnladeipma snail signuy to Henry J. Williams, Ksu.. their acceptance of the same. with, however, ilm expression of the wish that, if it be within the power of Mr. Williams, the now building shall be placed within the limit tirst designated in the will of Dr. Kuan. Mr. Henry J. Williams then rose and said he had no desire to influence the action of the meeting oitlier one way or the other. Ho would feel per fectly satisfied whether the legacy was accepted or rejecteii. ne nan nien a nieiuoer 01 tne Philadel phia Library Company for thirty-five years, and had never seen any trouble at any of the meetings, and hoped there would be none at this. If the Philadel phia Library company chooses to reject the bequest, he would be left to manage the trust himself, aud alone. He thought the b iard had the right to accept at once, and If they did so, he desired to confer with the members of the bour.l at once. 1I remarked he must pay a tax of .'.o.ihmi within three months unless certain action was taken by the Philadelphia Library Company. Mr. Williams stated that Dr. Bush gave lilm ontion regarding the character of stone to be used, but he desired to confer with th! Board of Dlrectoi s In re gard to Ita selection. He hoped the Board of Direct ors would accept aud give him aid, and if they did not he would proceed at once and erect the building at itroau auu nirimiuu streets ior ine use 01 tne Bidgway Library. Mr. Williams slated that he went from one end of Broad street to the other to select a lot, and on reporting to Dr. Bush a number of loca tions, he lixeu upon the one at Broad aud Christian ftreeta. Bemarks were then ma le by Frederick Fralcy, Mr. Tllghmun, Mr. Clay, Judg Cadwalader, and others, nuu ijuuu xiaic icuu iuc luuunuig opinion; "We are of opinion that fie time for the Library Com pany to accept the dovii-o umlor the will of Dr. James Kusii has not arrived, until r tie executor shall have torn pleted a building and tendwed a conveyance the Com pany could do no more than to agree to acueut at a int.urA time.

Early has addressed tho fol lowing epistle to tho editors of the Lynchburg (VaO A'etos.- Franklin Court House, June IT. I observe In your paper of the 14th a purufrraph stating that I "have taken the stump for Walker and against the Constitut en." This does not correctly represent my position, and though my individual views are of lit tle consequence to mo punnc, j et, as l no uoi wisn to be misunderstood by any, 1 take occasion to place nivself right. At the last term of Franklin County Court, after Colonel Martin, of Henry, had made a speech, a portion of my old friends called upon me, and In response I made some remarks expressive of niv views of the duty of Virginians in the approach ing election. Regarding the Instrument so anoma lously nropunded to tue people of Virginia as a state constitution uy tne recent proclamation or the President of the United States, as In Its origin, its iiilnclnles. Its details, and its mode of submis sions, degrading to the State, destructive of Its honor and Interests, and subversive of all semblance of State rights, I advised the people of my native county to cast their votes against it, either as a wnole or in broken tioses. i toiu tnem, nowever, that it was not Improbable that, by reason of what 1 regarded as the unwise counsel of some of our public men, the Instrument would be palmed upon us either with or without the disfranchising clauses, and as, by the action of a convention recently held in Richmond, the conservative candidates had been withdrawn, thus narrowing the contest for Governor to a choice between two Northern men who had been nominated by their respective wings of the Republican party, anil as the Infamy of Wells' character, public and pri vate, had been fully developed and established. I advised them to cast their votes for Walker, as a choice of evils, upon the chanco of his proving hotter than his opponent, if for no other reason. I do not think this can be said to be "taking the stump for Walkcr." The whole ticket, from Its head to its tail, Is objectionable and oltenslve to me, and the tall is not by any means the least otrenslve part. Dire necessity alone could induce me to urge any one'to give ins support to sucn a ticket, or any pan or it. Verv rexiiec.tfiillv rours. . J. A. Kaki.v. Jl J. A. UAKLY.fj PKIXCETOX.

The Jlejuiblican has a special despatch from Green River City, Wyouitig, dated yesterday, which says that one of the members of the celebrated Tcwcll exploring party has just reached this point, having escaped after Incredible hardships out of the canon of the Colorado. He re ports that the whole party, excepting himself, perished while attempting to cross the rapids. He had crossed above, and from the west bank wiU nessed the frightful disaster which loft him alone, 600 miles from the nearest settlement, without sup plies, and almost w ithout hope. Not dating to leave the stream, lest he should get lost, he ascended the bank to this point, the crossing of tho Pacillc road, where ho received such atteution as he requires. To this the ltepublican appends tho following editorial note: The fact that the despatch falls to give the name of the survivor ot the expedi tion leads us to hope that the statement may nave been told by a half-starved hunter, who wished to enlist sympathy. I'ndenlably it Is possible, and even perhaps probable. If half of the stories of travellers are true, the rapids of the Colorado can only be crossed by birds. A' Denver despatch says that 200,000 cross-ties for the Pacllic Railroad have been floated down the Cache Lipeudie river, and that 100,000 more are coining down. The contract for tlca'for the first slxtv-uve miles of the road will be completed by Julys. . FROM NEW. JERSEY. The New Atloi-iicy-tJciicra!. Trenton, June 29.
