' nations.
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.

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

Mr. Tllghman offered the following amendment to
tne i'ivvcuiiih; icmjiitiioii ;
Nttohl,. That it is inexpedient at this time to take

Mr. Frederick Fralcy, inter some strong remarks

t.enniue l nrecoimtructeti Advice.
General Jubal A. Early has addressed tho fol

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.

The Powell Kxplorlmr Party Kncnpe of One of
the .Members Alter Incredible llardnliipH.
St. Louih, June 29. 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. .
