A committee was appointed to draft an address to the people. The conven tion then adjourned to meet in Wash ington, January, 1871, at tho call of the Executive Committee, Wo are glad to see that the tanners, mechanics, artisans, laborers, Ac., have at last got their eyes open to tho swind ling operations of grasping railroads. It is indeed lime that our people in all sections of tho country should feel it incumbent upon them to submit no longer to tire impudent demands and impositions of soulless corporations. In addition to their exorbitant charges on all hinds of freight, our large rail roads have bought up nearly all the coal lands, and the consumers of coal are compelled to submit whatcvei charges the railroads please to impose. The people are paying two dollars a ton too much for coal, not bccanso our own coal merchants aro making too much profit, but because of the mon strous profits demanded by tiic roads who own the mines and do tho transpui tatiou. Tile products of the West, 100 arc kept out of our Eastern markets by the high charges ol railroads. This is not only an injury to the East, but a slill greater injury to the producer of the Wes I, who, however-much lie may raise, is often reduced to poverty by the exactions of railroads.

Oakes Ames, the great Credit Mubilicr manager, died at Boston on tho Bth inat. Mr, Ames was born in Easton, Bristol county, Mass,, on the Hub of January, 1801. His parents were quite-poor, and at an early age be was apprenticed to a shovel-maker in ids native town, in the course ol years lie established himself in business on bis own Recount,, and by industry and frugality accumulated an immense lor tune. Ho held several political posi tions in Massachusetts, and in 18bL was elected a Representative to Congress.— He served in the Thirty-eighth Con gress and wds re-elected tu the toi tielli, und up to the time of ins death had served in the House ot Representa tives. ... Mr. Ames’ notoriety wus gained 'through the medium of the Credit Mo bilier, his transactions in the stock be ing generally well known, in Run or ISlili, Oakes Ames and his brother, Oliver Ames, became interested in the Union X J acific iiailway Company, and also in the Credit Mobilier Company, as tho agent for the construction ot the ' road. Through the personal efforts ol Mr. Ames many men of capital were induced to take stock in both compa nies. The object ol the Credit Mobilier was to drain money from the Union Pacific railroad, and, as a consequence, from the government as well, and, tliercloro, it was the aim ol that corpo ration to so influence legislation in Congress lis would best serve their own interests. ‘ Mr. Amos, being in Congress, under took the task of interesting the con gressmen by bribing some ot them with Credit Mobilier stock, as he thought best. In 18157 Mr. Ames, at the opening of Congress, went to Wa-diingtou with slock, and entered into contracts with a considerable number of members of Congress, both Senators and -Representatives, to let them have shares of stock in the Credit Mobilier Company. Some alterward would .not stand to their bargains, while olliers accepted the dividends from tlie stock left for sale keeping with Ames. The business finally leaked out, with tho resit i already known to the country. Death oe Hun. James L. Oku, oe 8. C. —lion. James D.

I About the most pig-headed blunder some of these super-smart politicians and political journalists tire guilty of is tho ig mriug of Washington during a recess of congress, as a iio-uecounl-plaee. Xhese snobs have not yet learnetl that although Wash iiigtnn is not a manufacturing «i commercial nity, it is, ami ever w l be as ion'' as it remains tho capital of the na lion. c.i: necessitate, renan, its political centre , and they forget that there is con gregated here, all the year round, a largei number of astute, scheming and success ful politicians Irom every state ol the Uuion, than can bo found in any other city—men who are Uept thoroughly post ed, by letter anti telegraph, on every im portant event occuring in their respective slate capitals and congressional diet tula. Jibs laughable, when you come to think of it, this ignoring ol a political centre which is the place of residence ot the 1 ie.- blent, seven cabinet olliceis, the Justices of the U. H. Supreme Court and the Court of Claims, most of the officers of the Sen ate and House of Uepresentatlves, all the uudilois, eompliollers and other chiefs of buieans, the chief clerlta and chiefs ot divisions &e. &e., numbering, in the ag gregate more than lour hundred men; ami allot' them, be it remhered .successful politicians, or they would not bo where they are. Here and there among them is a ci mnunniocr retained for his useful ness as a piddle olllcer; hut it Is safe to say that iiiiio-loiilhs el them, from cab inet olllcers down, received their posi tions or have heeu retained in them, as Cirnnt men.

I lei you wo come ns near having a persons! government as is possible, perhaps. In inis country, without provoking a gener al aimed resistance —a revolution. Tlie puienlheais is the snare of the ora tor. 1 see it is also that of the wilier. I have wandered from my subject— '* Wash ington as a political centre. Lot mo out to show that Washington is the political centre of the United v-tule*,’ thousands of its residents being in daily communication, personal and official, with every political, financial or other point of interest in the country, permanent or temporary, arid that it Is simply insane to look upon it r Wash ug lon) ns a no-account place for news dui iug a recess ol Congress. And I think 1 have made my point. Cupt. Jack and his modocs did not wait for Congress to assemble, before commencing their “lit tle game.” The people of Louisiana have not resolved to remain inert, be cause Congress is not in session. Nor are the gold speculators In Wall street, or the aspirants* forscnatorshlps and com mittee chairmanships of the uext House, standing with their arms folded, these are all busy now, and this is the place to learn what they are about. Borne of us here knew, belore many of the smartest politicians in Dea JSloiues, that Harlan could never be re-elected to the Semite from lowa, and that Allison would bo bis successor. So were we post ed, beforehand, on the popular sentiment and liie machinations in California, which substituted Sargent for Cole in tiro Scuate, and on lliechurauleraudatrength of the opposition' to Colfax’s reuomina lli.n for the Vice-presidency. In legat’d to foielgn news, should there ha another revolution in France, Spain or Julian, a smite among the farm laborers of Hnyland, or an important battle luugl.t in Cuba, 1 am green enough to i unit inero is no place in the United Son cm in which 1 could get more correct inu.rmaiion Ihun just here, by calling at ibe Stale Department, or on the foreign iniiil-ler In whose country the event up on which I desired iiilormuliou had oc curred.
