• A MEMORABLE DAY.
The'2lst of May, 1,90, is a day destined to
be long remembered, for two important
events. The most memorable of these is the
fact.that the wind has changed from the East
to the North-west. After a spell of such
weather as the memory of man goeth not
back thereto, the sun has resumed its legiti
' mate functions, and there is a took in the•sky
as if the sun-shine had not only come, but
come to stay. The first five months of 1868
have' been marked, in this latitude, by a con
sistency of weather rarely ertcalled.
When 'it has not rained, it has been
cloudy, and when it has been -cloudy
for a whlle, then it has rained. There have
been days since New Year's day when the
sun reported progress and asked to 'be con
tinued, but these have been so few and far
between that the general impression is that
the sun has not had a good, fair shine since
last year. The effect on city and country
has been lugubrious in the extreme. The
Spring retail trade has been sadly cut down,
and we haVeteen utterly bereft of that annual
vision of loveliness which bursts out usually
about the middle of April, on some given fine
Sunday morning, when the Spring bonnets and
"things" all flash out by a mysterious unity
of design in one'sudden blaze of gay tints,and
tell the glad news that old Winter has gone
once more. This year there • has been no
Spring. Mackintoshes, umbrellas, over
shoes and colds in the head have been the
prevailing fashion for the season in the city;
and in the country it has been worse. The,
farmers have watched the clouds and exam
ined the vanes, and reviewed the weather
signs, and 'waited and fretted and wondered.
The Spring foliage is not yet fairly out upon
the forest trees, and the corn is not yet
in the ground. The whole vegetable world
that is in the ground, tired of waiting for the
accustomed signal, has peeped timidly above
the wet earth, and stands shivering and
shrinking under the drip, drip, drip of the
cold, east rain. Our markets are still sup
plied from distant and more favored reeions
with those fruits of the earth which are ordi
narily in full bearing in our own gardens and
fields.
But to-day all the vanes point to the north
west,—that is, to Chicago. Thence comes a
clear atmosphere and a bright sky and a ge
nial sunlight. Spring hasten days left to it,
with quantities of work to be, done, and it
means to do it. The summer will have its
hands full, and its tardy younger brother
starts up, to-day, to make up as best he may,
for all his lost time. It seems hardly possi
ble that the wind should: et to the east again
for at least two or three years to come, and
with this encouraging prospect, while we do
not advise that fires should be put out or car
pets.taken up, until the sun gets a little more
accustomed to shining, we are justified in
noting this as a memorable day.
But the twenty-first of May is also to be
remembered as the day which sets the coun
try's highest seal of approval upon its great
captain, Ulysses S. Grant. This morning's
west wink sweeping over the Alleghanies,
will bring to us the bright sunshine as a token
of the auspicious event occurring to-day in
the great city of the Northwest. To-day,
General Grant will take up the standard of
the National Republican party of
the country and begin that ' grand,
march Which is to complete the
victories of the Union over all forms and
shapes of secession, usurpation and slavery.
To-day, by a common demand of the people,
the leader of our great armies becomes the
leader of the great party of freedom and
progress. To-day, the handwriting comes
out upon the walls of the grand temple of
American liberty that declares to the
miserable apostate at Washington that
his days are numbered. To-day,
the people repeat their verdict against
the President, and declare him "guilty.''
To-day, the name of Grant becomes
once more the harbinger of victory, and gives
new assurance that the glorious fruits of the
conquest won by the blood and treasure of
loyal men shall not be bartered away by a
reckless President, though backed by Seri
.atorial renegades and ambitious judges. It is
'a day to be remembered.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
It will be remembered that in the year 1853
the steamship San Francisco, while on her
way to California, encountered a terrible
storm, by which she was wrecked. The ship
left New York in December, that year. She
was crowded with seven or eight hundred pas
sengers, five or six hundred -of whom were
officers and soldiers of the United States
army, with their wives and families, on their
way to the Pacific coast. When but a few
days out she was overtaken by a terrible
storm, which continued without interruption
twelve or thirteen days. The steamer became
unmanageable and was entirely at the mercy
of the winds and waves. &bout eight o'clock
in the evening the sea broke over her; and
carried overboard about one hundred and
eighty of the soldiers and passengers, with
sonic of the women and children. Colonel
J. M. Washington, Major George Taylor,
Captain H. 13. Field and Lieutenant Smith,
all distinguiihed (Aileen of' the army, were
lost. Subsequently, some sixty or seventy
others of the soldiers, passengers and crew
died from injuries received during the storm,
and from exhaustiCn caused by their great dis
tress and unremitted labor.
Upon the let day of January, 1854, Cap
tain Crigliton, of the bark Three Belle, Cap
tain Stouffer, of the ship Antarctic, and
thiptido Low; of the bark Bay, 'hove in
sight. Their vessels had scarcely been able
to outride the storm. Their crews had been,
night and day, for several days, at the pumps '
to keep them afioat, and their stores and
water had been so much reduced by light
ening their ships that starvation stared them
in the face. Fortunately for the San Fran
cisco, her signals were seen and her guns of ,
distress heard by these captains,
,who, with
all the Brumanl4 and self-sacri(lcing spirit for
which sailors are distinguished, "stood off
and en" the wreck for six consecutive days,
until the storm abated, and they could so
communicate with the Making hulk as to
give hope and encouragement to the de
sponding hundreds who momentarily ex
pected to go to the bottom. While it
was still impossible 'to approach the
wreck in order to rescue the suf
ering crew and passengers, and
when the howling -61 the storm put oral
communications out of the question, Captain
Crighton chalked upon a board the following
words, which he caused to be displayed in
the rigging of his ship "Be of good cheer,
we will stand by you." Captain Stouffer
and Captain Low ita the same spirit "stood
by," and the Three Bells, the Antartic, and
the 11.11 by, all of them , so injured by the
storm, and filling with water at the rate of
nine inches an hour, never left the wreck
until over five hundred survivors of the per-
Is of this widely-spread storm were saved,
and eventually landed at New York and Liv
erpool. Many a poor sailor of each of these
three vessels lost his life by his efforts in be
half of the sufferers on the San Francisco,
and so crippled were the crews that port
was not made for many, many days after
these humane acts had been performed.
The arrival of the shipwrecked passengers
and crew with their deliverers caused a great
excitement throughout this city; the words
chalked by Captain Crighton upon the board
which be displayed in the rigging were in the
mouths of everybody, and upon the occasion
of a public reception of the three gallant Cap- .
tains at the Merchant's Exchange, they came
near being killed with kindness, so great was
the rush and crush. The public gratitude
also took a substantial form,and testimonials
were heaped upon the Captains and their
crews. Congress also took action upon the
matter, and in July, 1860, after the usual
expenditure of red tape, it was determined
that a massive gold medal and seventy
five hundred dollars shovld be given
to each of the three Captains; five
hundred dollars in money was appropriated
to each of the mates of their three vessels,
and one hundred dollars was given to each
man and boy. The money was paid over
after a lapse of more than twelve years from
the time of the performance of the meritori
ous service; and the gold medals for the, three
captains have just been completed by Bailey
& Co., the well-known jewelers, and they are
now on exhibition in the windows of their
store on Chestnut street, above Eighth. The
dies were engraved by Mr. A.. C. Paquet, late
of the Unit( e. States Mint, and the design and
inscription are appropriate, while the execu
tion is superb. They are quite massive, the
'diameter of each being three and one-eighth
inches, and the weight 320' dwts. As they
are of pure gold, it will not excite surprise to
learn that the value of each is $2,000. These
tributes to the cause of humanity will be ob
jects of just pride to the three gallant captains
and their children.
.ILYIIIAN TRUMBULL.
The recent action of the Senator from
Illinois and the extraordinary deception prac
tised by him until the last moment upon
his friends, recals a circumstance in his
political history which has been very gen
erally lost sight of, but which is strikingly
in character with his recent course. It shows
that the commencement of his career in the
Senate took place under circumstances indi
cative of the same carelessness as to all
interests outside of his own, that has charac -
terized the proceeding which is likely t)
terminate his political career. The
election which first delegated Mr
Trumbull to , the Senate, found him
already a member of the National House
of Representatives, to which he had been
chosen from the State of Illinois. A. vacancy
occurring in the Senate, Mr. Trumbull elec
tioneered to obtain it ° . The Illinois Legisla
ture was divided between- three candidates—
one Democrat and two Whigs. The Demo
crats were characteristically represented in
this struggle by Matteson, the notorious Illi
nois bond-stealer, and their efforts were con
centrated upon him as their candidate. The
Whigs were divided upon A.braham Lincoln
and Mr. Trumbull. The struggle was a very
long one. Forty ballots were taken without
a decision being reached. Gradually, Diatte
son's numbers rose, and it became evident
that unless one o • the other of the Whig can
didates yielded, the choice would fall on a
Democrat, in the face of a clear Whig ma-
jority.
Under these circumstances it was clearly
Mr. Trumbull's duty to give way, for the dou
ble reason that he was already provided for,
and that his election would leave a vacancy
in the House with the chance of his being re-
placed by a Democrat. He showed, how
ever, no indication of yielding. At last the
indications were that Matteson would get the
vote on the ve. y next ballot. Trumbull's at
titude indicated that the State must take him
or be represented by a Democrat. Mr. Lin
coln's course could not be doubtful under
such circumstances. He withdrew his name,
and in this way Mr. Trumbull attained the
position which he now so shamefully abuses.
Mrs. Rumble's Readings.
The interest in Mrs. Frances 2.nne Kemble's
readings continues unabated, and the sale of
tickets for the concluding course, which com
menced yesterday, is progressing with %brisk-
DM that predicts the same crowded audiences
that greeted this distinguished artist at her last
appearance. There is a peculiar personal power
and charm about Mrs. Kemble's interpretations
of Shakespeare, and it is difficult to imagine any
form of intellectual entertainment more elevat
ing and more attractive than that which is
afforded by these readings.
In the final course which commence next
Tuesday, Mrs. Kemble extends her range of sub
jects beyond her favorite; chosen field of Shake
speare. After given "Cymbeline" and "The
Merry Wives of Windsor," both of which will be
rare treats, she reads, on Friday, her own "Mary
Stuart," a superb piece of dramatis poetry;
and, on ,Saturday, closes with a choice
selection of poems, " including one or

two. of the best established favorites of
American audiences, and a poem which,though
inedestly placed upon the programme as "anon
ymous," has been announced, by the ofheionenees
of some of the newspapers, as from the pen of
Mrs. Kemble's daughter. The anonymous charac
ter of this beautiful poem having been thus broken
In upon, we publish it in to-day's paper, and its
perusal will increase the anxiety to hear it from
the lips of Mrs. Kemble, at her final Readintre.

Don't shoot that frog, that croaking frog,
That bides himself beneath you log;
Though fat his hinder legs and good,
YOu'll soil your trousers in the mud.
Don't climb that tree to steal that nest !
You'll spoil your coat and tear your vest,
And tease the birds, and smash the eggs,
And tumble down and break your legs !
But if to spoil your clothes you wish,
You'd better go and try to fish,
And lose your footing, and fall in,
And soak yourself through to the skin
And if you.soll your coat and veet,
And scratch and tear your Sunday best,
Remember at our splendid store
We'll fit you out with plenty more.

THE VICE rr.r.SIDENTIAI , NOMLNATION.
CitteAGo, May 21st.—Up to this hour every
thing is uncertain as to the Vice Presidential
nomination. Excitement ran very high all night,
and continues unabated. This morning the feel
ing became so great over this nomination
that the platform and resolutions
did not enter Into the discussion
at all. The Fenton faction have the largest
number of outside workers, and do not hesitate
to offer money freely to secure his nomination.
They have made large inroads in the Southern
delegations among the Wilson delegates,carrying
many of them over to Fenton. The fight, as
near as can be ascertained, will narrow down ul
timately between Hamlin and Wade. The Tri
bunt, which advocates flamlin's nomination, thLs
morning attacks Wade very bitterly, and from
the tone of the entire article, it indicates
that Wade is ahead of the other candi
dates. Mr. Wade's friends claim about
• le .b votes on the first ballot. The Fenton men
concede them within five of that ntimber.The lat_
ter's friends figure up 1 - 20, On the first ballot
Colfax stands about 90; Wilson, 105. On the
second ballot Wade will get an increase of 100
voles. The indications here look as if Wade
will succeed.
Fenton's friends will go over for Hamlin, and
this may p osslbly effect his nomination.
New England remains still dirtied. The New
Hampshire delegation decided last nl&ht to cast
a complimentary voto4or Wilson, and then go
solid for Wade.
Curtin has no chance whatever, and his dele
gation will probably go as a unit for Wade on
the second ballot.
-- -
The Convention assembled at 10 o'clock,and as
the Committee on Resolutions were not ready to
report, the time was occupied in reading the re
solutions adopted by the Union League of
America, and hearing an address from Hon.
Fred, Ilaseaurek, of Ohio, who was frequently
applauded.
From etillcage.
CIIICAGO, May A. M.—The excitement
here is increasing. Fenton's friends claim 135
Totes on the first ballot, but his opponents say ho
cannot increase this. Wade's friends are likely
to break after the first ballot for Vice, Pmsident.
Colfax has much popular strength in the-conven
tion, but it is still unorganized. A portion of
the Southern delegates indicate a purpose of sup.
porting Wilson, but if no new combination shall
be agreed upon, the tendency appears towards
concentration on Hamlin. The Committee on
Resolutions have agreed on a report.
It is understood the platform was foreshadowed
by the speech of Carl Shnrz, at least in spirit. It
Is charged that some of Fenton's friende are using
money freely, and threats of exposure in open
Convention Etas urged many of Wade's friends to
consider Fenton's supporters hostile, which feel
ing appears to be reacting in favor of Hamlin. At
this hour no sagacious' leader of either win.g_ven
tures any positive prediction on the Vice ?rest
eidency.
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
CHICAGO, May 20.—The chair was occupied by
Bishop Kingsley. The consideration of the re
port on lay delegation was made the special order
for Tuesday nest.
Rev. Mr. Bingham, of Black River, offered a
very strong resolution condemnatory of the use
of tobacco, and asking the General Conference to
prohibit by law the admission of any candidate
to the ministry who is addicted to the use of to•
bacco in any form, and closing it with other
forms of intemperance. Referred to special com
mittee on that subject.
Rev. N. M. Pemberton, by invitation of the'
Conference, gave a detailed statement in regard
to Chapel building in England.
Rev. Gilbert Haven, of Boston, offered a reso
lution that in the future all church papers estab
lished shall be under the control of trustees, and
In no way connected with a book concern. Mr.
Haven also offered a resolution authorizing the
committee on book concern to inquire into the
practicability of establishing in the city of New
York a daily religious newspaper. Both resolu
tions were referred.
Rev. G. L. Taylor, of Brooklyn, offered a re
solution condemning the practice of placing
ministers in schools as teachers, in cases where
laymen would be equally capable of doing the
work.
Rev. Dr. Wentworth, of Troy, submitted a re
solution adopted by his conference recommend
ing that churches, wherever practicable, be fur
nished with libraries for the use of pastors.
The Committee on Episcopacy reported against
the election of additional bishops at this time.
Adjourned.
The Treasury Depoxtment.
WASIMIGTON, May 21.—The Secretary of the
Treasury has decided that it is the duty of parties
desiring the cancellation of bonds to produce
the requisite proof in the form required by law
and the regulations. In ease an exact compli
ance is (from circumstances beyond their control)
_ impracticable, they must conform to the extent
of their ability, and supply the defect by the best
evidence in their power to obtain.
They must then present Such proof to the ,01-
lector of the port having charge of 'the bonds,
and request him to transmit the same to this De
pariment for consideration, and for such action
thereon u may be proper.
According to the settled rules anti practice of
this Department, the control of a collector of
customs over uncaneelled cutout-house bonds
ceases with their maturity, and after their trans
mission to a United States attorney for proseen
tion the latter is not authorized to return such
bonds to the custom-house for any purpose, ex
cept when authorized to do so by the Depart
ment.
Applications for relief before maturity are pro-
perly referred to this Department. So if made
after maturity, but before the actual transmission
of ttio bond for prosecution, this Department
will, In cases where the proof submitted shows
be) end any reasonable doubt that there has been
or now le entire compliance with their c
mdi
lions, and that the Government will lose nothing
by so doing, authorize the Collector to cancel
such bonds. But when It has become the duty
of the United States Attorney to sue nptin the
bonds, the Department will not interfere with
the regular course of procedure, except upon ap
plication to the District Attorney, and a report
from him through the Solicitor of the Treasury.

[From the New Or!cane Picayune, May It76]
Last night about eight o'clock {Messrs. Izard
and Farrell, together with special officers Carr
and Pecora, received information that 'there
were two Spaniards in the city endeavor
ing tb negotiate with the various banks
large sums of native gold. From the statements
made it at once occurred to the officers that the
parties might be the persons who succeeded
in robbing a bank in the city of Mexico of
$480,000 in gold nuggets in the month of June,
1867, information of which was received here
several months since. The detectives proceeded
to the Bank of America. where these men had
offered nuggets of - gold at much below their real
value, and from the description there obtained
were convinced that they were the same men
who negotiated the sale of $30,000 in Mexican
gold in New York, and about $20,000 in Balti
more. Messrs. Carr and Pecora were detailed to
watch the game,• while Messrs. Izard and
Farrel proceeded to hunt up the de
scriptions and the information needed
in identifying the men. This obtained, they
were not long in discovering that the Spaniards
were rooming at the Orleans Hotel, and that they
were in possession of a box which they guarded
with Jealous vigilance. A warrant for the ar
rest of the men as suspicious characters having
been issued, they- entered the room, and took the
parties into custody. In the trunk lay $150,000
in native gold, and with the indubitable stamp
which assured the detectives. that the rich Mexi
can prize was at last within their clutches. To
day the proper affidavits will be made, and a pre
liminary examination had. For the apprehension
of these men. it is understood that a reward of
$4,000 had been offered by the Mexican bankers.
The Amenities of Life in Mississippi—
Pleasantries of the Chivalry.
(From tho Memphis Poet, May 191
We referred the other day to a terrible affray at
Greenville, Miss. It appears that the difficulty
originated in a discussion of some personal mat
ters between Dr. Thomas Polk and Dr. 0. M.
Blanton, on the one side, and Maj.Hindes and E.
P. Byrne, on the other. During the discussion
Major Byrne used some words of insult to Dr.
Polk, upon which the Doctor struck him. Major
Byrne immediately closed with Dr. Polk, striking
and grasping him by the throat. Just as the
struggle between these two gentlemen became
close and engrossing, Dr. Blanton, who was
standing but a short distance from them, imme
diately ran up behind Major Byrne and struck
him in the back and side some six or seven
blows with his knife, Inflicting in the space of as
many seconds that number of severe wounds
upon Byrne. Major Hindes, whose attention
was immediately attracted to the work in which
Blanton was engaged, either struck or attempted
to part him from Byrne, whereupon Blanton
turned upon him and cut him twice in the ab
domen. Blanton then started to ran from the
scene of his butchery, and as he did so, a 4r.
Simms, surmising that his object was to evade
arrest, struck at him twice with intention to halt
him, anti failing to strike him, he ran up as
Blanton was passing out of a gate and caught
him. Blanton immediately cut back at Simms
with his knife, cutting him on the hand so as to
compel him to let him go, and congnued his
flight out of town. He was shortly afterward
pursued by a number of gentlemen, who failed to
overtako him. Major Hindes lived some twenty
minutes after being cut. Major Byrne is sup
posed to be mortally wounded. .

CHICAGO, May 2L—The resolutions of the Coln
mitte were adopted with two or three dissenting
votes.
Mr. Gooch (Mass.) made a motion, which was
unanimously adopted, to proceed to ballot for
President.
Mr. Logan, in the name of the loyal people and
soldiers of the Republic, nominated Ulysses S.
Grant. The whole Convention rose to their feet,
amid great cheering, waving of hate and handker
chiefs and prolonged applause. The music played
Bail to the Chief. The States were called,and each
voted for Grant. Georgia's vote was announced
by Gov. Brown, who said that the Georgia Re
publicans, many of whom were original Seces
sionists, recognized the maxim of enemies in
war, in peace friends. Daring the 'progress of
the call each 'successive vote was received with
great enthusiasm.
The Republican National Convention.
[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia DveningDetin.)
CHICAGO, May 21.—General l'almer,of Illinois,
followed Mr. Ilaussarek in a short but brilliant
address, declaring that the public safety de
manded the removal of Andrew Johnson, and
that if corrupt men in the Senate failed; the
people would take the case into their own hands
and pass a verdict upon its action.
Much confusion ensued, occasioned by calls
from all parts of the house for Generals Logan
and Sickles, Senator Thayer and others to ad
dress the Convention. All the above gentlemen
declined doing so for various causes.
The excitement is running very high in the
Convention while awaiting the resolutions.
The Committee on Resolutions reported to the
Convention at 12 o'clock, through the Chairman,
R. W. Thompson, of Indiana. The first resolu
tion congratulates the country on the suc
cess of the Reconstruction policy of Congress,
and guarantees equal suffrage at the South. 'The
third denounces all forms of repudiation as a na
tional crime.
4th. Taxation must be reduced as rapidly as
possibly. sth, We ask Congress to reduce the
rate of interest on the public debt as soon as it
can be done. Gth and 7th, The Government of
the United States must 'be administered with
the strictest form of economy. Bth, We
regret the assassination of Abraham Lin
coln and the accession of Andrew John
son to the Presidency; affirms all charges
against Mr. Johnson as reported in the minority,
report of the first impeachment committee, and
declares that he has been justly impeached
for high crimes and misdemeanors, and justly
pronounced guilty by the votes of 3:5 senators.
The 9th declares that the doctrine of Gftat l;ritsin
that subjects, once citliens, are always citi
zens, must be resisted With all the force, this
country can command. 10th recognizes the
claims of the soldiers who crushed the rebellion.
11th declares that the convention sympathizes
with all who opposed the rebellion. 12th de
clares that the convention sympathizes with all
oppressed countries.
!CORRESPONDENCE OF TIIE ASSOCIATED PRESS. I
CHICAGO, May 21.—The Convention was called
to order at 10.15. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Dr. Gulliver. of Chicago.
The President announced that the Committee
on Resolutions had just sent word that they
would not b. ready to report before 11 o'clock.
Mr. spencer, of New York, moved that the
resolutions of the Union League, presented yes
terday, be spread upon the records.
Mr. Conway, of Louisiana, called for the
reading.
Mr. Spencer said his motion looked to a matter
of courtesy only. Its adoption would not com
mit the Convention to their endorsement. He
moved that the resolutions be recalled from the
Committee on Resolutions, to which they were
referred, with a view to their being recorded. It
was desirable to make a record of the fact that
these resolutions had been presented.
The resolutions were read. They declare the
Union League of vital importance to the success
of the Republican party, pledge the loyal North
to uphold and protect the loyal people of the
South, express a high appreciation of the patience
and forbearance of the negroes in the South,
their devotion as Union soldiers during the war,
and declare them entitled to the ballot, declare
Impartial suffrage a conditional principle of the
Republican party, endorse Congress, consider the
hour passed for compromise or leniency to
ward those who support or defend traitors,
denounce President Johnson t and the Republican
Senators disappointing the hopes of every loyal
heart in the laud by voting for the acquittal of
President Johnson when they knew him guilty
of the crime charged. Finally they recommend
the nomination of Grant.
A point of order was raised that the rules
adopted yesterday required all resolutions to be
referred without debate, and that it Is not proper
now to bring them up for discussion.
The motion to recall them was tabled.
Mr. Spencer moved to reconsider the motion
tabling them, and on that proposed to speak, but
was ruled out of order.
The only point in the resolutions exciting much
feeling was that denouncing . the non-impeach
ment Senators, which was received with great ap
plause.
Mr. Hassaurek, of Ohio, ex-Minister to Equa
dor, was called on and made an eloquent party
speech.
Some confusion in the lobby.
Mr.Hassaurek said the Convention was probably
not in the spirit at this time to hear a speech on
the political situation, and as he was not pre
pared, be proposed to suspend.,-
,"Go on! Go bur
The Chair called for order in the lobbies.
Mr. Hassaurek proceeded to read his oration.
Mr. Spaulding (Ohio)—As the Committee on
Resolutions are not yet ready, I move to sus
pend the rules and proceed to nominate General
Grant for the Presidency. [Loud cries of "No!
Nor]
A Kentucky delegate moved to table the mo
tion.
Mr. Spaulding 'withdrew his motion on a vote
of the Convention.
-
Gen. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, was called
out and received with great applause. He ..pro
ceeded with a graphic and forcible review of
the political issues of the last six
years, contrasting. it with the present—
freedom of speeoh, equal rights, universal
liberty throughout the land. These had been
.sustained successfully by the sword. The mis
sion of the Republican party now is to establish
these principles.

The Election in Williamsport.
[Snead Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., May 21.—The election for
Mayor yesterday resulted in Wm. F. Logan beat
ing Peter Herdic by a large majority—upwards
of three hundred. Mr. Logan was supported by
nearly all the Democrats and a large proportion
of the Republicans. There was no party politics
involved In the contest.
Mr. Herdic failed to secure the Republican vote
in consequence of a feeling that he was not as
valuable to the party at the last Fall election as
he might have been, and it was also feared that
Mr. Herdic's ideas of municipal expenditure were
rather extravagant.
The Presbyterian Assembly.
[Special Dorpateb to the Philadelphia Evening Bastin.)
Hennisuuno, May 21.—The General Assembly
of the New School Presbyterian Church iu the
United States- met here this morning at 11
o'clock,in the First Presbyterian Church, on Mar
ket Square. There are nearly three hundred
delegates, clerical and lay, present, representing
twenty-three Synods and one hundred and eleven
Presbyteries.
The opening address was delivered by the
Rev. Henry A. Nelson, D. D., of St. Louis, mod
erator of the last general assembly, which met at
Rochester,, in 1867. The address was deci
dedly radical in its tone and presented the
general feeling of the church against
any union that should sacrifice the new school,
but the wording was very guarded and dignified.
The assembly then adjourned until three o'clock
P. M., when a new moderator will be elected.

The New Yerir. Money Market.
[From the New York Herald. of To•day. l
MAY 26.—The gold market has been strong and mndo
rateiy active to day, and the fluctuations were from 13910
to laVa, the closing transactions being at 13$. There
was a good borrowing demand for coin, and loans wore
made at i(4 per cent. per annum for carrying. The
Brew cleat Inge amounted to $91,104000, the gold balances
to $1,460,730, and the cm renoy balances to $2,389,371. The
shipments of specie were large, the steamer Australasian
having taken out $075.000, and the Nebraska more than
$lOO,OOO. This, in addition to the $415,000 ahipoed
yesterday, And an equal, or_ greater sum to be
taken by the Bremen steamer tomorrow. will
make a larger total than was generally Malted
for, and to this continued drain to Europe the up ward
tendency of the premium is mainly attributable. The
disbursements of tho Subarettsury yesterday in paY
fuent of the May interest on the public debt amounted to
$275,000. It is noticeable that hve.twenties have expo
rimmed a further advance of one-eighth per rent. an the

The money market continues very erisy et s(46per cent.
the ruling dealers in government fiCCurities being offered
more fund* at the lower rate than they can make use of.
The loanable resources of the banks arc increnaing under
the drain of currency from the interior, and the demand
for loans from the Stock Exchange is light, in corm
quence of which the banks and private leedere have to
seek other employment for their surplus. The ap
plications for discounts are on a very limited
reale, owing to the dninese of trade and the
beet grade of commercial paper passes at eqtiso
per tent. on the street. The conversiome of seven
thirty notes into bonds at the Sub• Treasury are going
forward very rapidly, the aggregate today being $1,744,
650. w bile $1,2450110 of compound interest notes were re
deemed. In addition to the $23,927,090 of the latter which
matured on the kith inst. there will mature on August 1,
$13.508,120; on Septemberl 83.127.2410; on September 15,
$1.181.090; on October I, $1.965,2e0, and on October 15, $9,.
000.750. More than half of the May compound rioter have
already been redeemed in three per cent' certificates
through the Aseistant Preaeurer.' The latter is understood
to have neither sold gold nor bought 7 30 notes during the
day.
Government eecurities were very largely dealt in during
the day, the aggregate of transactions being even greater
than yesterday, and prices und.rwent a further advance
of X(a3 , ,i percent. The domestic demand was mainly
for the new five-twenties of P 67. while the purchases by
the German bankers included five twenties of 1864 and
temfortiee,in which the moat marked advance took place.
The demand from country banks and investors is un
usually heavy, while the supply of bonds in Wall etreet is
below the average at this reason. At the same time the
d finality of loaning money is causing large amounts to be
placed in governments for the sake of the temporary em
ployment of the capital. The dullness futile general stock
market, too, is calculated to stimulate activity in there
securities, and the indications point to a steady advance
until prices reach a considerably higher point.
[From the New York. World.l
MAY 20 The excitement in the bond-market continues
unabated, and some influential stock operators have
been heavy buyers all day. The banks are also buy

firms is a buyer of all the round lots offering in ten.

press of business has been eo great during the day

iced accommodations of the Government bond room. The
brokers are in favor of a larger room where business can
be transacted the whole day. The demand was very

The Nominations for Vice-President.
[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
Cnicsco, May 21.—The Convention proceeded
with the nominations for Vice-President, after the
enthusiasm over Grant's nomination had subsi
ded. 'Virginia was the first to get the floor and
nominated Senator Wilson.
The nomination was seconded by the Massa
chusetts delegation.
Indiana presented the name of Schuyler Colfax,
and this waa greeted with cheers.
The Republican National Convention
(Continued from the Third Edition.]
They congratulate the eenntry on the assured
success of the reconstruction policy of Congress;
the guarantee by Congress of the right of suf
frage to all loyal people - of the South as due, and
must be maintained; denounce all forms of re
pudiation as a national crime. I Great cheers. f
National obligations must bo paid in letter and in
spirit; taxation should be equalized and reduced
as rapid as possible. The redemption of the
national debt should be extended over a long
time by reducing the rate of interest whenever it
can be honorably done. The government of the
United States should be administered with the
strictest economy, and the corruption and ex
travagance fostered by Andrew Johnson re
formed. 'they deplore the death of Lincoln, de
plore the accession of Johnson, denounce the
latter as an usurper, violator of law
obstructer of reconstruction, and ' justly im
peached for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Prolonged cheers. I The resolutions repudiate
the doctrine of " once a subject always a sub
ject." No citizen of the United States, native or
naturalized, shall be deprived of liberty when
abroad, except for violations of laws; eulogize
the soldiers and sailors; their bounties are obliga
tions never to be forgotten; their widows and
orphans are the nation's wards; immigration
should be fostered by a liberal and Just policy-
The convention sympathises with all oppressed
nations struggling for their rights.
Mr. Spencer, of New York, moved the adop
tion of the Report, and called the previous ques
tion.
Mr. Cochrane (N. Y.) made a point of order
that the New York delegation had not been can
vassed, and his colleague could not call the pre
vious question excent on the call of two States.
The Chair sustained the point of order.
Mr. Cochrane moved to amend by inserting a
sentence declaring the President improperly ac
quitted by 19 votes. ,
Mr. McClure, of Pennsylvania, by the instruc
tion of the delegation, renewed the previous
question.
Ohio seconded the question,which was put and
ordered.
Mr. Cochrane withdrew his amendment.
The question then recurred on the adoption of
the report as presented by the committee, and it
was adopted, with only two or three dissenting,
amid great cheers.
General Sickles, rising to cast the vote of New
York, was received with cheers. The Territories
were also called, each having two votes except
Colorado, which was allowed six votes.
The Chair announced 650 votes, all for Grant.
As the vote was announced, a new drop-curtain
In the rear of the stage was uncovered, present
