Hie Inonptrailoa Ball. Washington Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial, Jlarch 5. Instigated by the devil, and persuaded by two angelic faoes, I went to this most beastly exhibition of all that disfigured the inaugu ration of Gen. Grant. Into the narrow cor ridors and small rooms of the Treasury was packed to suffocation a crowd of meu and women, pushing, struggling, fainting, and almostflghtlDg. Overtwo thousand tickets had been sola, and each, .ticket !averaged three people. There were men in swallow tailed coats, with chokers, and tight breeches, and women in all sorts of cos tumes, of which the bare neck and arms wilh immense trails predominated. We climbed four flights of stairs to the ladies’ dressing-rooms and geqtlemen’s cloak-rooms. We gave—unsuspecting mor tals as wo were—our coats and hats to the reconstructed, receiving a piece of paste board, with a number on it, in exchange. A dark suspicion crept over my prophetic soul that I had parted with my coat and tile forever. Sandwiched between two lovely females, I began the descent. A stream of humanity was rushiDg up the winding stuir—a stream of humanity was pouring down; and, by the watch, it took me one hour to reach the last step at the bottom. Here we fell into a tide setting heavily westward, a good deal agitated by a stream of stout policemen, cotton-gloved colored waiters, and some feeble-minded young men, with hair parted in the middle, that made a pretty stroDg current setting to the oast. For half an hour I and my convoy whirled in au eddy, caused by a projection at a comer. Escaping from this wo fell into mid-stream, and made steady but slow progress. ' I suppose that by morning'we might have reached tbo end of the corridor, had wo not encountered a cross sea, made up of the diplomatic corps and some military pumps, that carried us into a reception-room where tbo President and family stood firm. Against these we were dashed with great violence, made more fearful by a stout man who bawled out, “Don’t shake bands, don’t shako bands,” as the President and Vico President kept violating this order. I could not understand tbo meuoing of it, unless tho man was the court physician, and feared we or Gen. Grant would catch the Itch. This was varied by weak females in light dresses faintingfit intervalsofiive minutes. And the character of the officials may be gatborod from a conversation I board be tween tho husband of u lady ill from the heat and fatigue, and a functionary. Ho hud carried her out, and fortunately found a vacant space in a hall, where there was a little fresh air, find while lie held her up some servants passed wilh chairs. * Ho inude an earnest appeal for one of these, but the stupid fellows refused. At hist ho seized one, and was about seating Jiis with, when an ulliciul oiunu at him, de- i mantling the chair. Tho poor man explain ed, but tho follow replied that ho had his orders—tiio chairs were needed for another ! purpose. Tho husband bade his wife sit down, and then said: “ Now, if you take tlujt chair, vmi must tako It from under my wife, and'l hardly think that will ho a healthy proceeding.” “ Von can gain your purpose in tlmi way,” exclaimed the follow, white with 1 rage, “ but if your wife is sick you lmd bet- ■ ter take her home.” i : “ You are an insolent, hound,” roared tho husband, “ and if you will give me your address I’ll smash your dirty mouth to morrow, wnmi there are no women to i»ro loctyou.” I was told that tho scone in tho supper xoorn beggared description. Thu doors wore opened to tho entire crowd, and in two minutes the rooms were pnclu»d to sufiora lion. To iat was impossible. J’.ut to stir tip tho temper and destroy drossoi was tho rule.

It would only Intvo called forth thate.xhibi lion of genius andeourage which, in mili tary men, is supposed to consist in tho in difference with which they can see regi monl.s and brigades mowed down; and tin* country, after reading how daringly he had recovered his lost ground at tho trilling sacrifice of.ua? thousand killed and wound ed, would have voted him a greater General than ever. But, unfortunately for tho new President, llio policy of "attrition,” which ho declared his hivor itoin tho art of war, could not ho applied to the first political blunder of his civil ad ministration. "My cat’s got tho longest tail,” said he, amid tho carnage of tho Wil derness.

This morning the Republican State Nominating Convention met in the African Methodist churob, on Main street, about one hundred and twenty 'delegates being present. These were- divided into two cliques, one in the, interest of Governor Wells and the James H. Clements, of Portsmouth, for the Gover norship, in opposition to Wells. Last night and during the entire morning there was every indication of a stormy session, be cause of the deadly hatred of opposing factions. Parly in the day charges of cor ruption and mail robbery against bis Ex cellency Governor Wells had been pub lished aDd freely circulated, and this added to the excitement of the occasion. At 12 M. the Convention was called fq order by Dr, Gilmor, Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee, following which George Tuokor was nominated as temporary chairman by the Clem ents faction. A Mr. Jenkins was then nominated by the Wells clique, and here the scene commenced. Cries and yells from the Clements crowd met this an nouncement, and the ehurch was shortly afterwards converted into a perfect bedlam. Motions and countermotions were made, a majority of all present being on the floor, yelling and declaiming in a horrible man ner. Butts, of Norfolk, claimed that Jen kins was not a delegate, and Samuels, of Richmond, in a stentorian voice, declared Tucker elected by acclamation. A vote was called for, but amid a roar of voices that drowned every attempt to maintain or der the motion was overlooked. At this stage of the proceedings the excitement in creased to a fearful pitch, and the Wells men pushed to the rostrum, leaping over the railing that enclosed it, assaulting the incumbent of tho chair and others. Men leaped from the windows, rushed for the doors, and tho crowd in the galleries de scended en masse. In a few moments the place resembled pandemonium, and tho Muyor came forward with a force of polico to restore order. After a while the immediate rostrum was cleared, but then another attempt to seat Tucker was made and another tight fol lowed, a nephew of Joshua R. Giddings us ing tho cane freoly. Tucker was struck on the head with a cane. Several members were beateu In a fearful manner, and the Mayor at length ordered the church to be cleared, A Colonel Burkeheroreslsted,and was arrested by the polico, and daring bis exist from the church a chorus of yells of “ Dal’s right ” and “ Don’t let him go,” till ed the church. All the while tables, benches and chairs were crowded with m< u on their foot, and durlngtho whole scene Dr. Sharpe, (tenoral Grant’s brother-in-law, and Judge Bond stood in a corner, quietly surveying the riot. Tho church was cleared by tho polico, tbo Convention being broken up and tho party hopelessly split. They reassem bled tliis evening, but without accomplish ing any satisfactory results. This will eventually end in the establishment of a grand administration party by a coalition «C tho Clements’ faction with tho native white republicans. Upon meeting of tho Convention this evening tho Mayor and police, at the in stigation of Judge Bond and Governor Wells, took entire control of the Convention and would allow of no organization except under thoir guidance and partial dictation. A number of gentlemen prominent in their opposition to Governor Wells were threat ened witli arrest unless they kept their seals. I , i:tkr>;i:i;iu;, March 10.— In the after noon session to day there was more excito rnont. A colored sergeant-at-arms was ap pointed, against whom a white member levelled his pistol whlle.ho was attempting In make an urroMt. He was taken cliargo of by the police. A motion to ask tho Mayor to withdraw the police force was defeated, but that olli (•(•r shortly alter withdrew the police from tin* hall. Tho nominations were then cone into and resulted as follows: JI. Jl.AVells, Governor. i>r. J. D. Harris, negro, Lieut.-Governor. Thomas K. Bowden, Attorney General. A. M. Crane, Congressman at large. I rati or a ln Philadelphia— A j 'Vomau. Two Children and u Horae I Killed—One Alan llndly injured. j From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. I On Thursday morning, at half-past threo j o’clock-, an accident happened which has not | had Us parallel in this city in many years. 1 The residents in tho vicinity of Broad and Shippon streets, at tho early hour übovo mentioned, were nroused from their sleep by a heavy crash, as of fulling timbers. A German named John Lutz, suspecting that some accident had occurred, sprang from his bed, ami on looking through his bedroom window saw that u small two story brick and stone house in the rear of Ship pen and Luil streets had fallen and lay in ruins on the ground. Dressing himself hastily he instantly hurried to the house of the Harmony Fire Engine Company and aroused the members who wore sleeping there. The pjirty relumed to tho scene of the disusler, und on their arrival were greeted by thegroans and cries ofsomeone beneath tho debris. These, k was subsequently as certained, camo from Gabriel Kidd, an Irish laborer, who, with his wife and two children, the occupants of the house, were all buried in tho masses of tho brick, stone and lumber of tho building. The men, re inforced by fresh arrivals (for the news spread fast even at that early hour), worked energetically and with the determination to save life if possible. After half an hour of incessant labor the lirst body was reached ; but the cries having ceased, it was feared that life was extinct. When, however, the supposed corpse was removed to a house near by, it was found to be thehusbandand father, Gabriel Kidd, yet alive, though dangerously injured. A further search exposed the lifeless body of his son, Thomas Kidd, a lad nineteen years of age. He had evidently been suffocated. From the neighbors it was ascertained that two moro persons occupied the house with the two already rescued, and after another half hour the bodies of the wife of Mr. Kidd and hia daughter Margaret, a girl of sixteen years, were dragged out. In both of tho latter life also was extinct, and, as in the case of the son, both had died from sullbca tion. The bystanders then Informed tbo -work men that in the adjacent stable, which was crushed by tho falling house, a horse was kept, but after the removal of the ruboish tho animal was found lying dead, with one of his limbs broken. _Tlie reporter of the Telegraph visited Mr. Kidd, at the Pennsylvania Hospital, and found him in great agony from hisiujuries, and quite unable to give any lucid expla nation of the disaster. He states that about three o’clock, as near as ho can judge, he was awakened by a sound resembling the rumbling of a great mimbor'wheelbarrows, and then felt himself sinking downward. He became senseless, but soon revived to find himself on his bed pinned down by heavy joists and only ablo to move his head. He shouted for help as long as he was able, and then again became senseless until removed by tbe firemen and neigh bors. He also states that ho know the house to be in an unsafe condition and had di rected bis wife to request tho owner, a widow lady named O’Hagan, to have It re paired, but notwithstanding her promises to comply sho had failed to do this. The house fronting on Loil street, south of the ruined building,is soriously damaged, and unless torn down it will soon fall. Mr. Kidd is a man of fifty years of ago, his wife was of tbe same age, and his son and daughter were aged respectively nine teen and sixteen years. An inquest will be held to-morrow. Democratic Clnius lu Hew York. The New York World says: The town elections now holding initials Stnto show al most uniform gains for tho Democracy when compared with tho returns of last November. Ordinarily, these local con tests nlay not bo regarded as tests of party strength upon national issues; but wbero the changes are so stonily and show them selves so uniformly in every part of the State, in Republican as well ns Democratic localiiks, it would not bo unfair to attribute them to a strong, if quiet, undercurrent of dissatifaction with tho rulo of tho dominant party Of the seventy.three towns published in our returns this morn ing, it will bo seen that sixty-four give Democratic gains and that the percentage of gain is quite large. The list contains re turns from all tho town olections h9ld so far in the State this spring of which we have received the figures. Down on Geary. Tho Evening Telegraphy prominent Radi cal newspaper, of Philadelphia, closes an article on Grant with the following para graph : “ Governor Geary has manuged, during bis official torm, to dissatisfy both the poli ticians and the people, in a vuin effort to appease both. He has proved a poor poli tician, and given not a title of evidence that he (possesses a spark of statesmanship. Pennsylvania has little cause for pride or congratulation as she looks back on the long line of her Governors. If a few good ana brilliant men are stricken from the list, Micro is littlo left to raise it up above the level, of mediocrity; and Geary has done nothing, as Governor, to distinguish him sell over the mass of his predecessors.— Meanwhile, although corruption reeks at Harrisburg, and the interests of the State are most shamefully neglected and betray ed, liis voice has never been heard protest mg in the clariou tongue that some men might have made ring throughout the Commonwealth against this carnival of folly and fraud.” Confession and Suicide. Mrs. Clem was recently convicted of mur der at Indianapolis, lnd., and sentenced State prison for life. She was charged with having killed Jacob Young and his wife, and robbed her victims of a large amount of money. Silas Hartman, brother of Mrs. Clem, who was under arrest as an accom plice, made a confession a day or two since, in which he states that Young was killed by a man named Fiscus, and Mrs. Young bv a prostitute named Frank Clark. He also implicates a man named Dorsey, at whose instigation the murders were com mitted. i Hartman and Mrs. Clem, accord ing to the confession, knew of the affair and received a part of the money. Immediate ly after making the confession Hartman committed suicide in his cell. A man in Newport, N. H., has a good col lection of hens.

IJy way of inducement to settle in lowa, it is stated by a local paper thut lead in that State is cheap, wheat yields twenty bushels to the acre, and bubics are mighty surecrop. A lady residing on Union llill, N. J., named Mrs. Muuver, was delivered of four children on the 2d inst.

It is stated as a curious instunco of the growing availability of female luhpr that Vermont returns four women engaged in ship-building and Virginia reports two thus employed. The female operatives in the boot and shoe manufactories at Sloneham, Mass., have organized a lodge of the Knights of St. Crispin, upon the same plan of other lodges of that order. The eastern townships of Canada, it is said, are being depleted of their most intel ligent citizens by emigration to the Western States and tho Pacific coast of our republic. Alike satneiitno many Canadians, resident in the United States, are seoking to return to Canada. .The Fenian Brotherhood, of Chicago, have appointed committees for ouch ward, for the purpose of collecting, previous to the 17th inst., one dollar from every Irishman ami woman hero, for tho purpose of trans forming tho present arms of tho organiza tion into breech-loaders. 'Eh© Pennsylvania Miuljrs, “ Rook upon me,” says Mr. Robert Acres to his military friend, •* as a very ill-used gentleman.” As much, changing tho sex, may Pennsylvania—poor, slighted,insulted Pennsylvania—say of (ho treatmentshe has received at tho hands of her own and the nation’s hero. And yet Pennsylvania,good, easy soul, takes it kindly; and though her heart, if she rejoices in such an organ,must bo broken by 'the triumph of a Borie, she has not a word of remonstrance to utter. Even her Democratic trumpets are mute or whine out a feeble lamentation, and her "independent press” thinks that A. T. Stewart, freo-tradeand ail,would have beeu a Heaven-sent Minister. Let us seo how the matter really stands ; for we have some reason to think that the Democratic mind of Pennsylvania’s metropolis, having no j trusted guide efits own, may not bewhollv ! uninfluenced byour views. Philadelphia . generally wails till eleven o'clock before i she makes up her mind about anything. | If there be three men In all that great quad- [ rilateral between the Delaware and the [ Ohio who deserye well of the Republican i or, iodeed r of tho War party of Pennsylva nia, they are Audrew G. Curtain, Geonre G. Meade, and Winfield S. Hancock—each too, in a different sphere and function. From IS6I to lSGtj, Curtin was emphatically the War-Governor of the Middle States. On his executive administration iell the whole burden of the hour. Thwarted by chronic rivals at Washington, who perse- < cute him still, and often feebly supported at J home—for Pennsylvania and her politicians j were hall'the time frightened out of their wits—he did his duty according to his lights very well. Three times was his State in vaded, and thrice was the enemy expelled —one Pennsylvanian leading at Antietam and another at Gettysburg ; and while dil ettante heroes like Mr. Borie wereshiyering east of the Schuylkill under the protection of Democratic Governor Seymour, Andrew j G.JCurtin was at his post ou the Susque hanna, near the enemy, and within sound of their guns. Nay, more, Governor Cur tin was thoroughly "loyal” in his sub missiveness. Radicalism bad no reasou to find fault with him. He acquiesced, with the most exemplary equanimity, in the kidnapping of his lellow-citizens.and never troubled the kidnappers with remonstrance. Mr. McDowell was seized under his guber natorial nose at Harrisburg, and Mr. Butler and Mr. Winder close to his Attornev-Geu erul’s residence in Philadelphia. And yet for all this his reward is insult and obloquy and oblivion and St. Petersburg and Borie! llis constitution may carry him through the Russian mission, but this hyperborean exile will be cold comfort to his afilicted friends at home. ThOD, for General Meade! The reward q£ the saviour of Pennsylvania is direct military insult. To be put in the same category with Ilalleck, and to be overslaughed by a really common cavalry man like Sheridan ! When Meade was fightiDg in the Mexican war twenty years ago, where was ho who is now made Lieu tenant-General over his head ? Grant evi dently loves better him who with good will laid waste the Valley of Virginia and bnrn ed millaand farmingutensils thanhim who calmly stood on tho heights of Gettysburg and'hurled back, by courage and military skill, the brave cohorts of a fighting foe. Melac is a better type, it appears, for pro motion than Marlborough Meade was in almost every battle of the war, victory or disaster. He was wounded under McClel lan ; he saved Philadelphia in ISG3: and his ecstatic townsmen gave him a small house worth §lO,OOO, where his family live,taking care to give Grant at the same time one worth $45,000, in which he doe 9 not live,but which he profitably rents. As with Curtin, so with Meudc: subservience to Radicalism does not help him. Not even all the un worthy work which the Georgian prncou sul did is enough to save him. He is thrust aside, and Pennsylvania is bade thank God —tor Borie! Of Generul Hancock we have not tho heart to speak. He, the Bayard of the war, is sent in ex’Je to Dakota jto pine in relative if not positive obscurity, while Pennsylvania is consoled with Borie ! We, not being Penusyivauians, yet undertake to say that, of tho hundreds of thousands of voters—Republicans and Democrats—west of the Schuylkill River, not one iu ten thou sand ever heard of Mr.‘A. E. Borie ; while those on the other side {bevoml tho magic gastronomic circles of the Club, the League, and Mr. Peter Augustin, whoso apostolic and saintiy name we believe wo write cor rectly), not one in a thousand has ever thought him fit for political administration, either afloat or ashore. Still, as we all knovs* the Duke of Wellington denounced himself ns unfit for a Cabinet office. Per haps Mr. Borie may tkiuk himself fit for a place once adorned by a Bancroft! Perlmos after all, be is fit for it!— N. Y. World. ' MnlcUE.iklut by Wholesale. From the Cnarlotte (N. C.) Times. t A short time since, at a wedding in South Carolina, n youug lawyer moved that one man in the company should be selected as President; tbat this President should be duly sworn to keep entirely secret all the communications tbat should be forwarded to him in his official department that night; that each unmarried gentleman and lady should write his or her name on a piece of paper, and under it place the name of the person they wished to marry, then hand it to the President for inspection, and if any lady and gentleman had reciprocally chosen each other, the President was to inform each of the result, and those who had not been reciprocal in their choice werfe to be kept entirely secret. After the appointment of the President, communications were ac cordingly handed up to tho chair, and it was found that twelve young ladies and gentlemen had reciprocal choices, and eleven of the twelves matches were solem ized. Affray iu an Asylum—A 3Janiac Boston, March 12.—The citizens of Cam bridge have within the past few days been much agitated over reports concerning the death of an insane man, named Jas. Parks who was, after a severe struggle, arrested by three police officers of that city on Fri day, February 26, and was subsequently conveyed to the Taunton Lunatic Asylum, where he died on the next day after arrival. As_ it appeared that his death was the result of injuries received by blows or otherwise, the impression got abroad that the officers were culpable in ths matter, This and other circumstances induced Coroner W. W, Wellington to hoM an inquest. The result is summed up in the following verdict: That James Parks died at the Taunton State Lunatio Asylum on Wednesday, March 3,1869/ about 6 o’clock P. M.; that bis death was caused by the fracture of the Btemum (breast bone) and of fourteen ribs (nine on the right side and five on the left, two of the ribs on the rightside being broken in two places), and by the laceration of the right lung, consequent upon said fractures, which were received during a struggle be tween Parks and three of the asylum at tendants, onoof whom ho attacked. | CongremjonaL I „ Washington, March 11.
