Fr, - tin the Philadelphia Press.] Twelve e'ci.ek came, and at that hour the Opera Houe, in which the conven t ion was hell. was p tek ed. The large stage was given up to the effacers of the conven tion, members of the press and prominent politieans, ail watching withintense inter est the opening scenes in the play. Corn pletely filing the auditorium in the par. c l ues and ptirquet circle were the delegates, the Philadelpt,ia represent,tion prescliting a solid iro. t. with William R. Leeds, Chris Kr ears, W. Ellwood Bowan, Amos M. City Commissioner DJuglas, and other well known men in the van. Harry ulin had placed himself near Wolf of ITiiiee as a foil to that gentleman, while John Ce-,113 was well up on the flank. Chris Magee, of Allegheny, did the light iimishing Ls usual, while his brother Fred was apparently a "looker on in Ye nice,'' and was seated quietly on the stage. The strength of the Blaine men was in the body of the hall. and both General Koontz an-i General Albright were in a position where they could he speedily recognized :,nd easily heard. The upper tiers of the house were open for "invited guests" and were packed with an earnest auditory, who , e expectant glances showed intense interest in every detail. Passmore's Brass BAIA b. - gin to play, but gave up the musi e7ll entertainment in apparent disgust, and 4li:.ut five minutes after 12, all being in readines.

The roll will tir:t he called to ascertain whether it is correct. If there are any sult.titutions to be made, you will make them at the time the name i read for which the substitution is to be made. Each gentleman present, when his name is called, will please an swer. If there are any contests in any districts, the gentlemen f ram those districts will oblige us by so stating at once, that we and those whose sea', arc colitested may be given notice at the time. 000000 Scerett:ry J E. Allen, journal clerk of the Legislature, then proceeded to calling the roll, every delegate answering to his name. Several notices of cutest were giv en, but. the work was put through in very tiu:e, and Colonel Ilooten said: -Gentleman, the next thing in order will be the election for temporary chairman." Mr. Miller (Mercer) nominated lion. Iles-e,ll Errett, of Allegheny. t;eueral Albrizht (Carbon)—l nomi nate, a. an amendment, the Hon. George V. Lawrence of Washlngton county, and fiar the Seas and na)s. Mr. Wolk (Union) rose to inquire what rule should he followed in voting where there were contested scat., and moved that bib of the delegates be permitted to vote on the election of temporary chairman. Ur. Harry rive to a point of' older. In such a ease us this the rule is to go on with the calling of the roll before any other business. Mr Wolfe—l think— Chairwan Iloototi—l rule that the call ing of the roll shall proeekd and that the delegate whose name appears on the list shall vote. Mr. John R Fadie of Somerset—l ap peal from the decision of the Chair and— Scvt ral v&ccs—Call the roll. Chairman Houton (to the secretary)— Go ahead And so Clerk Allen in a stentorian voice begin calling the roll. Mr. Eadie stood a moment where he had risen to appeal from the decision of Chair. looked around a minute, and then sank into his scat, evidently astounded. The calling of the roll then proceeded without incident, and the conclusion was reached at last. Ch.,irruan Hooton—The tellers agree on 'their e.nnt, and the vote stands as tbl lows : Errett, 157 ; Lawrence, 92. Hon. Rus ell Errett having received a majority of the whole number of votes, has been elected temporary chairman of this con• vent ion. This announcement was greeted with tremendous applause by the Grant men and their followers, a number of gentle men who were not delegates at all, but who • ccupied seats in the delegates' part of the house. being especially cunspicuous in starting the hurrah. When the applause had subsided Mr. Errett, who sat back in the hall, arose, when somebody suggested to the chair man : .`lnvite Lawrence to conduct him to the chair." Mr. Hooton evidently didn't bear the remark, but Mr. Lawrence, with great courtesy, arose and offering his arm to Mr. Erma, walked with him down the aisle to the stage. This manifestation of good feeling was warmly applauded and everybody teemed to be just brimming over with good nature. Colonel Ileoton, advancing, then said : "Gentlemen, I introduce you the tempo rary chairman of this convention," and retired. Mr. Errett, who was warmly re ceived, read the following speech : (;ENTLEMEN ON THE CONVENTION: I thank you heartily for this mark of your confidence. The place to which you have called me is of but tem porary importance, but as an evidenoe of your kindness and esteem I appreciate it fully. This convention is the opening of the campaign of 1880. To-day we pass its threshold and enter upon other active struggles for the right. In . taking her place at the head of the Republic-an column Pennsyl vania witnesses the usual flurry and excitement that attend a definite expression of the will of the people of a Commonwealth, but I feel sure that when that flurry is over we shall all be a firm and unbroken line for the success of the candidate who may lie chosen at Chicago, whoever he may be.— We have our individual preferences now and we (Eller as to the modes and methods, and method and action. but when the final decision of the Re publican National Convention is uttered all dif— ferences will vanish and Pennsylvania will be found, as sh • has been found in every presidential election since 1860, upon the side of National over State supremacy of the indivisible and indestructible; of honest money ; of a protective tariff; of pure and honest, as well as free elections, and of the equal rights of all under the law to lile, liberty and property, without distinction as to race, color or nativity. Invoking upon your deliberations the spirit of harmony, and of that charity for each other's differences which suffereth long and is kind, and thanking you again for your confidence, I await the farther pleasure of the convention. At the concluson of Mr. Errett's ad dress Mr. lluhn moved that the conven tion be governed by the rules of the House of Representativke as far as practicable. Mr. Wolfe—As far as practicable ! What does that wean ? No answer was given to the conundrum and the motion was adopted Mr. William R. Leeds moved the ap pointment of a Committee on Permanent Organization and Resolucions, consisting of two delegates from each Senatorial dis trict. Before this was agreed to, however, the Chair announced, in pursuance of a motion by Chris. Magee, the following Committee on Contested Seats : Chris. Magee of Allegheny, Willliam Douglas of Philadel phia, J. M, Whistling of Dauphin, Heat• HUNTING-DON, PA , FR ings of Centre, Cochrane of Lancaster, Williams of Armstrong and Smith of Wayne. There was not a single Blaine man among the party. This caused a quiet smile among the Grant men and ominous shakes of the head among the opposition. The last names of the committees were scarcely announced when the battle royal opened in form by John Cessna getting the floor and offering the following resolu tion, which it will be seen brought matters to a crisis and precipitated the conflict. The resolution offered by Mr. Cessna is as follows: Resolved, That a committee of nine members be appointed by the chairman to report to the con vention, subject to its approval, a ii-t of electors for president and also a list of senatorial and represe,tative delegates to the National Republi can Convention at Chicago, together with their alternates, after consultation with the delegates of the various Congressional districts in this con vection. It had not been expected that this would have come so soon, and here it was evident that some of the plans had miscarried.— The committees had retired from the andi torium, and as they were almost exclusively Grant men, it left the Blaine supporters present in, for the moment, a very large majority. Cessna saw this when it was too late, for his reolution, having been read, was before the convention, but another man saw the mistake too and its advantage to the cause of James G. Blaine. This was John Stewart of Franklin county, who was on his feet in a moment, and standing in the aisle, in full view of the chairman, whom he addressed. The Chair yielded him the fl,)or. Mr. Stewart—l offer the following as an amendment : That a committee of one from each Congressional district be selected by the delegates from each Congressional district, whose duty it shall be to report to the convention the names of four deie gates-at-large to the National Convention and two electors-at large, and that it shall be the duty of this committee to report also a list of district delegates to the National Convention, who shall be designated by the delegates from the respective districts, including in their report the names of those persons already chosen by the people to represent them in the Chicago Convention. The Grant men saw in a moment that they were badly clughr. To allow a vote on the question would have been a fatal blow to their hopes, and such a pronounced victory for Blaine right at the . start that its moral influence would have been hard to overcome. "Put the atnendurlit," shouted several. Chairman Errett looked around in dismay, and for the only tithe during the day lost his presence of mind. Colonel Elisha W. Davis, who was sit ting on the stage, but who, however, was not a delegate, was prompt with a remedy to save the Grant boom Troth what threat ened to be a fatal "bust," and loud enough to be heard in the right quarter, gave the hint to adjourn. Mr. Cessna didn't hear this, however, but he realized his blunder. and jumping to his feet, called out : "Mr. Chairman. withdraw my resolutions until the rest at* the delegates shall have returned." Mr. Stewart again saw his chance and again was quick to make the most or it. "Mr. Chairman"— At this moment an uproar occurred and he was interrupted. "Mr. Chairman," he shouted again, "since the original resolution is withdrawn, I offer my amendment as a resolution." Cries of "Good" and "Put it to a vote" and "Adjourn." Harry Huhn, who was endeavoring to make himself heard in the uproar, caught Chairman Errett's eye at this moment, and the almost lost cause was saved : "I move," said Mr. Hahn, "that this conven tion take a recess until 2:30 o'clock (it was them 1:30). lam able to state that the Opera House has been secured until 6 o'clock, and this recess will give the committees time to complete their work and the delegates a chance to get their dinners." "Second the motion !" yelle I a dozen Grant men in a breath. "Moved and seconded that this," etc., etc , rattled off the now thoroughly aroused chairman, and when he came to calling for "ayes" the response shook the building.— Huhn's motion was carried, the blunder bad been prevented, and the Grant men were saved Three minutes later there wasn't a delegate in the hall. The narrow escape they had bad was the absorbing topic fur the Grant men during the recess, and they had every rea son to congratulate themselves on such a happy and opportune deliverenee from a very unpleasant predicament. Promptly after the time was up the seats were again filled to their utmost capacity, and a larger body of spectators than before were pre sent. Chairman Errett took his place smilingly and happy, the gavel fell and the show went on once more The first delegate to be recogniz was "the gentleman from Allegheny—Mr. Ma gee." Mr. Magee desired to present the report of the Committee ou Contested Seats, and the report was presented accordingly. This report was notable in two facts— it was in favor of the known Grant dele gates throughout, and among others whom it debarred from their privileges as dele gates. were General Koontz of Somerset and H. S. McMair of York, both stanch Blaine men and both looked to with con cern to do active work before the conven tion. A little episode concerning the result between Mr. Eadie and Mr. Brice afforded the opportunity for showing that feelin g ; was again beginning to run pretty hig:i, and Eadie's attempt to secure a position es delegate for General Koontz having faild, and a brief pause occurred Mr. Cessna took advantage of this to ascertain that the Grant men were present in strengtt and again offered his resolution for the committee of nine. Mr. Rosser (Somerset) here rose to a question of privilege, and asked that the name of General Koontz be substituted for his own as a delegate in accordance with the rules This move took the convention by stir prise, for the Grant men were as muebH pleased as the Blaine men were depressed, at the prospect of having Koontz placed on the retired list. But to offer an object . tion, much as some of the Grant men dently desired it, would have been toti glaring in the lace of the precedents es tablished, and so. General Koontz was re- stored to full duty by unanimous consent. Mr. Cessna proceeded to offer his reso lution, when Mr. Stewart was once more to the front with his amendment, and it presenting it said : The amendment which I have offered, sir, pro• poses to restrict the action of this convention with in such limits as I, in common with many other delegates on this floor, believe to be proper and legitimate. I regret that there are some here who would overturn the, until now, unquestioned right of the Congressional districts to instruct their del , egates according to the preferences they may have This rule has hithorto never been questioned ant has been crystallized until it has come to be re garded as an unquestioned right for Congressional districts to instruct their own delegates to a oen vention. Now, sir, Ido not believe that the pec- DAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1880 ple will tolerate such action as it is proposed by the majority to inaugurate hero to-day, nor will they give up their right to select delegates to the National Convention. This is a conflict between the Congressional districts and this convention, and it becomes us, as delegates, to carefully con sider the scope and limit which we, as a conven tion, have in this regard We are confessedly bare representing the people to make suitable rep resentation for this State at' the Chicago Conven tion. [Laughter]. But what does a suitable rep resentation for the State imply ? I take it, sir, that our National Conventions are instructed as the legislative councils are instructed. Now, is it our State or our Congressional districts which are represented in the lower house of Congres ? Now, where is the propriety of this or any other State Convention, naming delegates any more than the entire State naming members of Congress from the several districts? There would be exactly the saws property in it. Sir, I would remit this ques tion to the Congressional districts themselves, and I would assume no authority which will usurp the right of popular representwien in Vie coming Na ti,,nal Convention in Chicago. [Loud applause]. This Convention may send its delegates to this convention based upon the principle of the rep resentation of the people of this State at Congress. This it has a right to do—[hear! hear!]—more than that it has no right to do. [Loud cheers]. The Chair—The question is now on the amendment, and the secretary will pro• ceed to call the roll This was done amid profound silence anti with every evidence of the most in tense interest prevading all parts of the assemblage. The long list was got through et last, and the Chair, after announcing that the tellers agreed in their count, gave the vote as follows : For the amendment, 100; against it, 150. The result was re ceived with loud applause by the Grant men and Mr. Cessna's resolution was then put to a viva voce vote and carried amidst the greatest enthusiasm of its supporters. The Grant men were now in force, and determined to push things, and Hot.. A. J. Herr, of Dauphin, was quickly on his feet and offered the long looked !Jr rese lution on which so much depends. Kew?red, That the delegates elected to the Na tional Republican Conventi9n from this State are hereby instructed to support Geheral U. S. Grant for the presidential nomina tiou This created the liveliest kind of a rum pus, and the greatest excitement prevail ed "Put Blaine's name there." •Shame," hisses and cheers and confusion created a pandemonium for a minute or two, but vigorous rapping for order by the chair man and an intimation that "this is not a mass meeting" quelled for a time the dis turbance. Mr. Stone, of Crawfad, look the op portunity of jumping to his feet and pre; sewed the following amendment : RfsoFred, That while w, pledge ourselves to support the Republican party, we see no glim reason fur abandoning the position taken by the party in our own anti other States in 1676 of op position to a third 'presidential term, and we here by indorse and re-affirm the resolutim,s passed by our State i'onrention held in this city in 7576 upon this question. Three rousing cheers that made the house ring were then given f,r James G. Blaine and the Chairman again had occasion to pet form frantic gy tunastics to restore quiet, and in so doing he toile occasion to remind the convention that 'sit was not to be con trolled by noise, and those gentlemen who are hallooing had better wait until we get through.'' Thee tLe Char reeoguiz,d the Senator from Dauphin, at id Mr. Herr began his speech. "We are met here for a purpose," he said, "and that purpo a is the support of the Republican party, and no matter what personal preferences we may have, I think we are all prep tred to sup port the nominee of that party. This body is a deliberative one, and we are here to act honestly and honorably, and I may say that if I did not believe that that resolution represents the senti ments of this body and the sentiments of the peo ple of the State it would not now be before you." Mr. Herr went on to speak of his belief in the widespread extent of the sentiment he referred to, and he spoke of the terrible ordeal through which the Nation had passed twenty years ago—an or deal to survive which it had to sacrifice the lives of 100,000 brave men to save the Union. Be hada solemn presentiment that a similar ordeal was to come again in the near future, and when it did come it would either shiver this Nation to atoms or crystallize it into a splendid whole that would remain intact until the last syllable of recorded time. Mr. Herr again sketched the rise of the Rebellion and reminded the convention of the work of Southern rebels, and reiterated his belief that a similar state of things was to occur again, and that the aim of the Southern people was still the disruption and disunion of this Republic. He dwelt upon the solid South as it existed twenty years ago and as it existed to day—a coinbinaeion of treason and fraud; asserted that its programme was to bankrupt the Nation and reduce the army until it could efford no protection to the people. The mission of the Republican party he said had not been accomplished—it would not he accom plished until in cabin and canebrake, as in lordly mansions, uqual rights were enjoyed by all citi zens of the Republic. It was, he contiuued, Gen eral Grant who led this glorious Republican army to victory in IS6B and in 1872, and it is now the only hope of the Republicans, so far as he (Mr. Herr) could see, that General Graeit should once more lead the party to victory in 1880. Mr. Derr then paid a glowing tribute to General Grant's qualities, both as president and general of the army, and concluded by expressing the belief that Ulysses S. Grant would again lead the Republican hosts to victory in the coming campaign, [Ap plause.] General Albright (Carbon) followed. There was no man in this convention who entertained more profound respect for General Grant than be (the speaker), and the third-term scare possessed no terrors to hiw, and he believed that it' General Grant was elected again he would discharge the duties of his office with the highest patriotism.— No man had a higher record than General Grant as csttzen or soldier, but with all this he (the Speaker) did not agree with his friend from Dau phin that General Grant was the only man that soul be elected president of the United States. [Load applause.] There were other men whose names were known to the American people. Milne Washburne [slight applause] could fulfill the high duties of the presidency, and he hal no doubt Secretary Sherman [slight applause] mild also discharge those duties with patriotic ability, and then there was James G. Blaine. [Tremendous enthusiasm continued several minutes. James G. Blaine [renewed cheers] would satisfy the American people. [Great applause.] James G. Blaine knew the Southern people--he had studied them for twenty years, and he would be able to cope with any difficulties that might arise. [Cheers.] Be (Blaine) was a representative man, and as such would do honor to any position he !night be called to till. Atter stating that Washington did not decline a third term on principle but because of infirmities, General Aibright gut down to the pith of his remarks by taking strong groused against the unit busieess. The people whom the delegates represented there were oppoeed to the unit rule, and they were quite as -intelligent as their representatives, and no delegate could go to his constituency and say he had fulfilled their wishes if he voted to instruct the delegation.— "There are," continue.' the speaker, "delegates in this convention, persons in this house sent here and instructed, who know the sentiments of their people, and I tell you that a resolution of this kind will nut satisfy them, won't make them be lieve it is wisdom ur policy for this convention to instruct at all. I aui opposed to instructing this delegation in favor of anybody, because I want the heads and the hands of the delegates left free to express the preferences of the Republican party of Pennsylvania at the National Convention at Chicago. If it shall be the distinguished soldier, Ulysses S. Grant, who shall be nominated, I will go through the State, and I will do the same for anybody else, whoever the nominee may be. Do not press this unit rule. Leave our delegates free to express tl4 , preferences of their eueetitu encies and you will do the behests of the people of Pennsylvania. [Loud cheers.] General Koontz of Somerset rose for the pur pose of opposing the proposition to instruct the delegates to vote as a unit and to express his op position to Senator Herr a resolution. There were many things to which Senator Herr had given utterance in which he concurred must fully and most heartily, and he yielded to no wan in his admiration of the soldierly qualities and suc cessful administrative abilities of General Grant. But he was opposed to instructing the delegation for General Grant for the reason, first, that it was in opposition to the traditioeary policy of this Government. From the days of George Wash ington down to this time no man has been elected to the presidency for three terms, and while it was not in the written laws of the nation, yet as no departure from the rule had taken place in a hundred years, it had come to be regarded as an unwritten law of the Republic. "May I ask here," continued the speaker, "why this change has come over the spirit of the men who control th'ls convention? Several years ago, when it be came necessary to carry out their schemes before the Republican convention, one year in a Ivance of the time they engineered a resolution thr ugh the convention as the voice of the people of neon spirania that they were against a third term.— [Loud cheers.] Why hes this change come over the spirit of their dreams ? Is it because when the next vacancy occurs in the war portfolio our man w e ill he placed in the War Department of the. United States? and is this the reason that the convention is to nominate Ulysses S. Grant? [Loud cheers, hisses and applause. I I am opposed for other reasuns still to the nomination of Gen eral Grant. I am not. prepared to say that I think the administration of General Grant met with the approval of the great body of the people of the United States or of the Republican party. [Loud cheers.] You know that under that admin istration the Dibeecks and Sbcppards and Belk naps were raised to piece and honor, and theSurn ners and the Greeleys driven from the public ranks. [Cheers and hisses.] lam opposed to the resolution for another reason still. Ido not believe it expresses the sen timents of the body of the Republican party of thin State, but I believe if you strike out the name of Ulysses S. Grant and substitute that of James G. thaine [tremen dous cheering] it will be the voice of the Repub lican party of Pennsylvania. [Loud and pro longed applause.' This much to the first point. Permit me to say a word or two on the second. I am opposed to the unit rule for two reasons In. the first place it does not work well. The rule has been violated on every occasion when it suited the purpose of th4i very men woo are now trying to engineer this resolution through this conven tion." [Applause ] General Koontz then re ferred to the working of the unit rule when Cur tin was a candidate, and continued : "The posi tion which Pennsylvania occupies (by the unit rule) is a hideous shame. At your last conven tion you had your delegates bound up and down and instructed for General Ilartranft, and yet at the very moment when the time had coins for the Republicans of Pennsylvania to assert their man• hood the rule was overthrown and each man was allowed to vete according to his own sentiments And, sir, I de not believe it was the purpose then to nominate General flartrantt. If it was the purpose of the unit rule to place Pennsylvania in the vanguard of the Republican column I would vote for it; but it is because it will have exactly the opposite effect that I oppose it. [Cheers.] It is because it will take away from the people the power which belongs to them, and because it de prives the people of the right to act according to their own convictions, that lam against it. If the majority of this convention force this measure they will have succeeded in wresting from the people of Pennsylvania their rights of expression of preference, and will have deprived them of the power which belongs to them and to them alone. [Tremendous applause.] Mr. Moreland of Allegheny rose to his feet as General Koontz sat down, tile( as it was their first inning for some time, the Grant men began to show some signs of jubilation. Moreland made a capital speech, reviewing Grant's career at length, and in telling style pointing out his strength as a Republican candidate. Ile claimed that Grant could unite the party better than any other man. The speaker was not indifferent to the services of James G. Blaine, to whom he accorded high honor for his political course, but he was firmly convinc ed that the people wanted, and the nation requir ed Ulysses S. Grant once more at the head of the Government. Moreland's speech, which was greet ed with great applause, produced a capital effect on his friends, and he was warmly congratulated. Richard Darlington of Chester, Amos Harvey of Lycoming, Strang of Tioga. and Wolfe anted the discussion proper. Darlington told the convention that he tailed to find a single man in Chester county who wanted Grant, and that he and those who accompanied him could• not go home and face their constituents—face them honestly—and say to them they had done their duty, unless they protested against what it was here proposed to make binding. Wolfe's speech, however, was the grandest of the day. but it was in the lung run tin g ed with per sonal bitterness. It surprised sad disappointed his enemies and it pleased his friends. He said that the opposition to the programme laid out by the majority was not of a preconcocted character, but that it was the voice of three-fourths of the people of the Commonwealth coming up iu earnest protest—that is, it was the voice before it has been subjected to machinery. lie was for the unit rule which would send a free and untrammeled delega tion to Chicago, the representatives of the people. His cheek, as their cheek, blanched, and they knew it did, at the indignity being put upon them. "You feel it even now," he continued, "when you saw the course of things as it was manifested at the last convention by the delegation from Penn sylvania, and I tell you the people are for J. G. Blaine. [Loud cheers.] We do not want that strong man who can find his way to the Executive Cham ber by fire and blood, but we do want that strong man whose statesmanship brings order out of chaos, and supremacy of the law out of confusion without bloodshed. [Tremendous cheering.] In conclusion he said he did not want to see a great State put up in the market to the highest bidder, and held that General Grunt would be more hon ored if allowed to retire to honorable privateiife." Then Wolfe, whose concluding words were greet ed with a storm of applause, sat down. Genoral Bingham got the floor to ppeak for his colleague, Champion of the Philadelphia delegation. In one of his eloquent addresses General Bing ham urged that, as a friend of Blaine, he could say the latter did not wish to create antagonism. He dwelt on this assertion at length, and icing questioned by Stewart and Wolfe as to the effect of the opposition of the unit rule, evaded d'rect answers. With the Congressman from the First district in his seat the resolution was divided, and balloting was ordered on the amendment substitut ing the name of Blaine fir that of Grant, and it failed by a vote of tts to 150, and then the call that was to decide the final issue. whether or not the Pennsylvania delintates shal vote as a unit, was ordered. It was closely watched, and when the re sult-133 to 113—was announced the men who fought the programme from beginning to end felt more pleased at the small figures by whieh they were beaten than disappointed that they had lost. The test vote which placed the politicians and public men of Pennsylvania who eat in the con vention on record as fur Grant or Blaine. The Committee on Resolutions then re ported the following platform and it was ratified by the convention. Res°lrcd, 1. That rejoicing, as we do, over the steady growth of the national prosperity, which began in 1876 with the change of the balance of trade in our favor, and over the successful resump tion and maintenance of specie payments, we may reasonably claim the financial soundness and pros perity of the country as the natural result of the financial policy we, as a party,bave sustained. 2. The resumption of specie payments having been accomplished, at the time appointed by law, and the finances of the country being in a thoroughly healthy condition, we regard it as un wise to engage in an; new attempts at financial legislation. The country is prosperous under our financial system as it is, and we know of no good reason why that system should be now disturbed. 3. The presistent efforts of the free traders to destroy our tariff,. piecemeal, by legislation to re peal the duties on special articles, admonish us of the necessity of adhereing more strongly than ever to the tariff policy of the past twenty years, which has built up our grand system of mannfac tures, fostered the revenues of the government and promoted our national prosperity. The business of the country will not bear this tinkerng of the tariff; and if any revision of that tariff is to be made at all, it should he done through a COMIIIiS - of capahle men, after a patient and thorough hearing of all parties to the interests involved. 4. We object most decidediy to all attempts to enact a new tariff through the agency of commer cial treaties. A treaty framed, negotiated, dis cussed and ..ratified in secret, is not a proper method of regulating the revenues of the govern ment. 5. In view of recent events in congress and in the southern states, and latter y in the state of .Maine, we deem this a fitting opp••rtunity to re affirm our aditerence to the follow ng principles, viz : _ _ I. The union of the statea—witli:Cqual rights— indestructable by any constitutional :nearie. 11. Protection to the person, libe•ty and prip erty of the citizen of the United States, in each and every portion of our common country, wher ever he may choose to move, demanding of him only obedience to the laws and proper respect for the rights of others. 111. Strict integrity in fulfilling all our obliga tions, state or national. _ IV. The perfect se•rurity of frea honght, free spo , ch and a free l rest', and of equal rights and privileges to all wen, everywhere, irrespective of nationality, color or r, V A pure and free ballot, thoroughly protect ed, so that every man entitled to cast a vote may do so. just on.•e, at each election, without fear of molestation, moral or physie4l, on account of his political faith, nativity, or the hue of his skin. VI. Honesty in electious. The people having the virtue and the patriotism to govern them selves, our government must depend for its stabil ity upon honest elections. Until a man is con sidered infamous who casts an illegal vote, our government will not be s d e. and whoeverdeprives a eitisen of his right to vote, is a traitor to our government. VII. An honest count of all votes legally cast, and an honest return of whoever is elected, free from all attempts to defraud the people of their choice through technicalities or by any arbitrary rejection of their votes. 6. We extend to the republicans of Maine our congratulations over the peaceful and success ful resistance to an effort to defraud the people of that state of the right to choose their own repre sentatives, and to the attempt to steal the gov ernment of that state. Our republican form of government will he a signal failure when any po- litical party can succeed in defying the public will as shown by the people at the ballot box. 7. We deeply regret the growing tendency to throw elec.ions aside on mere technicalities and informalities. The right of the people to choose tli..ir public servants is too sacred to he subverted upon any pretext that the returns of election are delcient in some trivial matters of form. 8. We thank our senator and repr sentatives at Washington, in the last congress and in this, for their firm adhesion to republican principles and policy, and for their opposition to democratic schemes to renew the obsolete doctrine of state rights, and to cripple the government by withhold ing needed appropriations in order to coerce legis lation repealing all national laws that protect the purity of the ballot box. Resolred, That the chairman of the republican state committee is hereby instructed and required to carefully examine whether any person to day placed on the electoral ticket be legally disquali fied, from any cause, from serving as an elector; and, in ease any such legal disability be found, the state committee shall substitute another name from the same congressional district. Resolutions indorsing the administra tion of Governor Hoyt and providing for the selection of a State Central Commit tee were contained in the platform, and were also adopted with it. After appoint jog the State Committee the convention adjourned sine die. DELEGATES AT LARGE Matthew S. Quay, Lin Bartholomew, James McManes, Christopher L. Magee GATES DELEI 15. 0. D. Kenny, C. C.

An exploring party has made wonderful discoveries in a cave in Adams county, Ohio, supposed to be the work of mound builders. In Tiffin township is a plateau of 200 acres surrounded by high hills At a depression in the plateau there is a well three feet in diameter and twenty five feet deep. Persons have frequently de scended into the well and explored the cavernous chambers of mathematical reg ularity to which it leads On the walls of the chambers may be seen among other writings the inscription Von Brody, 1779," made by that Indian bunter, who preceded the "Ohio Company" in 1786. In the fourth chamber, reached through a narrow passage, had long ago been found a well, ten feet in diameter, and of unknown depth. It was to learn the secret of this well that two merchants, a lawyer and two news paper writers provided themselves with a rope ladder, implements ibr breaking stone and lanterns. They descended fifty feet into the well, where they found a narrow gallery fifty feet long, leading by a gradual descent to a chamber 525 feet long, 110 feet wide and 24 feet high. In the centre of the chamber was found a large manse lona, carved out of the solid rock and coy- eredwith devices, inscriptions and bas reliefs On a stone couch, in its center, lay the stone fi,!ure of a man of giant pro portions and well carved. A carved winged cap or helmet covered the head. Carved vases, decorated with flowers and leaves stood at the corners of the couch. A cop per lamp hung suspended above the bead of the figure. Twenty smaller tombs were found against the walls of the chamber, and twenty five tines had been painted on the wall near the entrance. A tomb was broken open and revealed a well preserved mummy 9 feet 1 inch in length. The hair was of fine texture, black and curly. A copper spear head, almost as hard as a file, several copper utensils, a cup, two plates and a small urn. were also found in the tomb. Wrapped in varnished cloth, at at the head of the mummy, lay a book of 100 thin copper leaves, on which characters had been engraved. Brain Work and Skull Growth. A writer thus sums up as follows the results of some very interesting measure ments of heads by two Frbncb physicians, iklcl.3srs. Lac issagne and Chiquet : Having the patients, doctors, attendants and offi cers of the Val de Grace at their disposal they measured the bends of 190 doctors of medicine; 133 soldiers who had received an eltuientary instruction, 90 soldiers who could neither read nor write, and 91 sol diers who were prisoners. The ipstrument used was the same which hatters employ in measuring the heads of their customers. and gives a very correct idea of the pro portions and diwirrsions of the heads in question. The results were in favor of the doctors, the frontal diameter was also ranch more considerable than that of soldiers. Nor are both halves of the head syeamet rically devolved. In students the left front al region is more developed than the right ; in illiterate individuals the right occipital region is larger than the left. The auth ors have derived the following conclusions frent their experiments : First, the heads of students who have worked much with their brains are much more developed than those of illiterate individuals, or such as have allowed their brains to remain inact. ire Seccnd, in students the frontal re gion is more developed than the occipital, or, if their should be any difference is favor of the latter, it is very small, while in illiterate people the latter region is the• largest. NEWS is scarce in Minnesota. In the effort to present something fresh, a Lanes boro paper has found it necessary to pub- lish the Ten Commandments, under an ex cuse of "a gentle reminder now and then." SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL. A Night of Terror. A correspondent of the New York 'Jer ald gives the following description of events attending the earthquake that visited Ha vana, while Ceo. Grant was on a visit to that city : Last night, for the first time in the recol lection of the living residents, Havana was roused by earthqua ke shooks that made her massive buildings shudder like shanties in a storm. It lacked ten minutes of eleven when the theatres were closing and the cafes full, when park and prado were brilliant with lights ; equipages, beauty and music. The half moon shone from the zenith of a steel blue, cloudless sky. Sud denly a sound was heard as the rising of a mighty wind through the pines, and then an unmistakably subterranean moan, while the earth reeled with three unsteady, sickening oscillations. Stricken with momentary alarm the swarms of people in the parks paused and reeled likewise. The horses hitched to a hundred flying carriages stopped and braced themselves in dumb affright. Restaurant tables rocked and spilled their liquids, and men started up from their chairs at the Louvre with dread. Druggists' bottles were shaken from there shelves. Dainty pyramids of bar glass tumbled to destruc- tion. Senoras and senoritas gazed aghast at the overturn of their toilet stands. Be sides the crowds at the refreshment places, whole families rushed from their homes in to the streets, and the stairways of some hotels were crowded with guests hurrying blindly down to the sidewalks. A place on the ground or pavement seemed pre ferable to most citizens, who huddled in groups beyond the moonlit shadows of the buildings they had deserted and chattered of bivouacking for the night. Down the bay vessels rocked at their anchorages and groaned against the wharves and rusty cannon threatened to fall from their pivots on the ancient fortifications of Cabana and the Morro. Hours passed ere the apprehension caused by these first shocks was calmed in general slumber About 4 in the morning the Herald cor respondent was awakened by a remonitory commotion in the atmosphere so direful that before the head could leave the pil low ladies were already rushing through the upper corriders of the hotel. A my riad, gigantic shuttle seemed to be weav ing ruin in the outer air. Men's voices, tremulous and unnatural rose from the :-irect beneath. Then came the words of men within, cheering their wives and those ladies whom even in these first five or ten seconds they had encountered in the balls. _Then came the second earthquake. Having first sprung up, I fell back upon the pillow to enjoy or endure the motion. It continued but a few momenta. (hie shuttle like horizontal push and pull from side to side; one lift and poise in the air, then a settling down to solid immobility and all was over. That is to say, all was over except the wild increrse of terror among the people of Havana. Guessing from distant noises that the city was thane ily awake I descended to the thoroughfare. Nearly every room in the hotel showed a light. Ladies having fled to the parlors in their night dresses were sitting with their feet drawn up under them in the chairs, looking like wraiths. The lower hall was thronged with men, some of them anxiously inquiring the date of sailing of the next steamer northward. The squares now bad plenty of permanent tenants for the night. The narrow streets leading through the old city to the bay, though dangerous always at that dismal hour, invited a curious traveler to inspect the behavior of the ignorant, depraved andu perititious populace. Here were the dens and hell holes of Ha vana. Here its crippled, maimed, diseased and poor lined the foot wide sidewalks. Here the most villianons rabble vied with fanatics in the constant toil of crossing themselves, telling beads and rolling their eyes heavenward. Mutterings of vulgar awe and fear intermingled with ejaculations to saints. Here and there a young priest passed with a vessel, Ppriokling holy wa ter on eager heads that bent to the very (lust in abasement. Wild bursts of melody boding chants and occasional shouts of ap peal and praise came from the quarter where the negroes brought forth their wretched idols, images and charms. The Cathedral and other churches were ap proached at early dawn by thousands who wished to participate in the first mass. Thither flocked women and men, bearing in place of the various images and devices in copper and German silver which are wont to hang on the altar as propitiary of ferings to the saints, hundreds of impro vised globes of wood or marble, signifying prayers that the earth might be kept whole from further quakes and eruptions- The venerable Church of San Domingo, which stands in the lower part of the city, received an unusual influx of worshippers. hard by the palace of the Captain Gener al, placed only yesterday morning at the disposal of the distinguished party of Americans, of whom Gen. Sheridan is one, was seen flickering lights in the upper windows. Beyond the palace a street leads down to a neighboring wharf, where, as the clock struck six, hundreds of boatmen dropped on their knees at a signal, with their laces turned toward the bay. 'Save, 0, God, the world,' was the burden of the prayer of a priest who had come down to blebs thew. To which prayer all Havana, rising up after the night's double threat or disaster, could almost be heard to say Amen Cured by Faith. They have another case of miraculous cure by faith in Ohio The invalid was Miss Jennie Smith, of Dayton. She had lost the use of all her limbs, and the doctors had given her up. She is a good, pious Methodist, and says that she prayed for submission to the Divine will, and finally attained it completely. One night. she felt that that time was to be the de cisive one. Some of her friends were with her, and she. asked that they pray with her till daybreak. Suddenly she saw, as in a picture, the man with the withered arm stretching it forth at the comm'and of Jesus The picture was so vivid that she with a mental effort such as she could not explain or even describe, strove to exert a similar faith. At that instant she felt a new strength as sudden as a shock of elec tricity, and those about her exclaimed at the change in her appearance. She rose, and found she walked. From that time she recovered. The Cincinnati Gazette says that Miss Smith's narrative is dis tinguished from many other alleged mira cles by the respectible character of the testimony by which it has been substantiated. She distinguishes between the ordinary faith of the Christian, which she calls the grace of faith, and the gift of faith ; meaning by the latter term the special reliance upon Divine power which must precede any wonderful occurrence iu the Christian's life. nEwasaismi NO. 7.
