TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1884.
The Convention at Baltimore.
The meeting of the Convention of Union
bicu, to 1)0 held in Baltimore ..to-day, at
noon, will suggest to the reader something
more than the mere political reflections
that such occasions invariably produce.
The interest of the Presidential year is lost
in the all-pervading interest that attends the
army and navy. We are busier in our
thoughts and fears with the.'good and
bravo men now arrayed against Lee on
the Chickahominyy and Joiinston on the
Chattahoochie, than with the keen and
busy gentlemen who meet to-day to
dispose of the presidency for the next four
years. We do not go beyond the hounds
of proper speculation when wo say that
the decision of the Baltimore Convention
will anticipate the decision of the nation
in November, and.that whoever will be se
lected as the loader of. the Union party
will be accepted .as- the President 'of the
United States. When we think of these
things, of the battles now being fought .in
Virginia, and the great battles to be still
decided, it seems to us that no easier duty
can he performed than flie duty of the gen-,
tlemeu composing the Baltimore Conven
tion. Abraham Lincoln will be renomina
jed for the Presidency. We do not state this
Til a spirit of prophecy, for the people have
decided it, and any change or combination
leading to another result would be a viola
tion of the popular will. There are many
good and respected Union men who oppose
Mr. Lincoln, and their opposition will,
possibly, he manifested in this Convention;
hut the nation has tried this man—-it lias
seen hint surrounded, by embarrassments
that no ruler has. ever, encountered: foes'
abroad and foes at home—and he has so
performed his high and awful duty that
men trust him, and believe that under his
leadership wo shall have a happy, free, and
undivided country. We do not care to ex
periment in this time of trouble. We can
trust the servants we have, and, when peace
conics hack, we may welcome and test a
new race of statesmen. The great task is
the suppression of the rebellion. Abra
ham Lincoln has done so well that we can
* trust him to finish the job.
This is the sentiment of the country, and
we believe it will he the sentiment of the
Convention. The nomination of Mr,
Lincoln accomplished, wo . shall . have .
to “adopt a platform and select a candi
date lor tlio Vice Presidency. So far as
the platform is concerned, we think
there can be no difficulty. We ask on
the- part of this Convention tlie most ra
dical expression of opinion consistent
with common sense , and practical
statesmanship. We desire that every act
of the Administration for the vigorous pro
secution of the war shall be endorsed ; that
it shall have credit for honesty, candor,
energy, and patriotism; and that,- not
withstanding mistakes have been:made,
the Convention is willing to believe that
the controlling idea of the. Administration
has. been a desire to put down the rebellion
and establish peace and union. When this
is done, we wish our friends to proclaim the
most .decided and ; unambiguous. policy.
The ’friends of the Union, and of those
who wish to see Mr. Lincoln re
elect od President, are anxious' that
we should fight this battle on the:
boldest and most decided ground. Let it.
bo proclaimed that the. war has destroyed
slavery, and in the eye of the Constitution
it no longer exists ; that, the flag
■of the Union army floats it floats, over free
men ; that peace can never come until
there is an utter extermination of the rebel
lion and the .causes of the rebellion, arid
that wo ask no conciliation but that which
tire and steel place in. the hanchlof. con
querors. We have purchased the right to
•do this by three long years of war and debt
and death, and the Convention will only
answer the wishes of the country by affirm
ing this fact and taking the boldest and
highest ground. We want conscience and
■courage—neither compromise nor conserva
tism. The Convention cannot speak too
boldly for the country. . ..:
The question of the Tice Presidency is
purely a personal one, and does hot come
within the scope of our discussion. What
we want is a representative man—one wiiose
record is as clear as that of Mr. Lincoln—
who has served the country faithfully, and
deserves a proper reward. If the Conven
tion think that in continuing the President
it would be prudent and proper to continue
Mr. Hamlin as Vice President, the country
will be satisfied. It is possible that, some
distinguished soldier or seaman may he se
lected —as a compliment to our gal
lant. army and navy—although the diffi
culty of selection in this case will .im
pose on the Convention an arduous and
■embarrassing duty. Wo want a repre
sentative man. It is not. possible, for
the Convention'to strengthen the ticket
by any of those expedients so often; used
. by political Conventions, for the name of
Mr. Lincoln has too. much . power and
. strength.tp require adventitious means for
increasing it. Wo should like to see, on
the part of the Convention, a recognition
of the great "Democratic element which has
done so much to strengthen and sustain the
hands ofthe Administration. This Conven
tion could do no more gracious thing than to
recognize the men who have sustained the
country in. its time of danger and trial,
especially at a sacrifice that none can feel
who have not felt the power of this once
great and mighty organization. These rea
sons would control us if we were called
upon to advise the Convention. They have
a difficult and responsible duty; and we.
trust that wisdom and- patriotism may so
■control their councils that our victory in
November will be worthy of our cause
and its glorious leader. / ■
'Marshal Pellssier.
Tlie death of such a mere soldier as
Amabde Jean Jacques Pebissieb is not
descrying of any extended notice. Born in
1794, lie wanted some months of comple
ting his seventieth year. At the age of
twenty-one he was transferred from the
military college of St. Cyr to the artillery,
with commission as a ■ sous-lieutenant;
served during the. glorious but fatal Hun
dred Days j obtained promotion and em
ployment in Spain in 1833; served in
Greece in 1829; and in 1830 was sent to
Africa, serving in Algiers, under General
. Bout.mont, ' until the failure of: his health
compelled him to return to France. In
1840 lie went back to Algiers, with the
rank of lieutenant colonel, won ano
ther step at the Battle of Isly, and
on the eighteenth of June, 1845, tar
nished his name by a foul deed—the
destruction of six hundred Arabs in a ca
vem to which they had retreated, by burn
ing fagots at the mouth. Europe cried
“Shame!’’ hut the French Government
took hip part, (tliongh Soui/r protested,)
and tlie offleiar paper at Algiers declared
that Colonel Pki.issibk had hut obeyed the
orders of Marshal Bugeaud, the Com
mandcr-in-Ohief. He continued to rise in
rank, always displaying great physical
courage, and was General of Division and
Governor of Algiers at the time of JTapo
leoh’s coup d’etat of December, 1851,
which he at once accepted. In the Crimean
Afar he displayed great bravery, and even
tually succeeded Canbobebt, as Com
mander-in-Chief, taking tlie .Malakoff, on
September 0, 1855, and with it’ Sebastopol.
For this he received a Marshal’s baton,
was created Due de Malakoff and Senator,
(with a pension, of $30,000,) and retired
-into private life. In March, 1858, he ac
cepted tlic French Embassy to England,
succeeding M. Pebbignx, but displayed no
■diplomatic talent. He did not hold this
•office long, hut married a handsome Spa
nish lady, certainly young enough to have
■been his grand-daughter, and, soon after,
in April, 1859, was sent to command the
army 6f observation at Nancy, which pre
vented his participating in the Italian war.
Since 1801, ho was Governor-General ©f
Algeria, and died “in harness." He was
a hold sabrew , and thiß Bcems to haye been
his chief merit. Even as a Duke, ho re
tained the. rough manners of the French
camp. .„
Touching, If, True.
The Govrt Journal, a London paper
which professes to chronicle the leading
incidents of fashionable life, relates a little
anecdote of Garibaldi, which, as the Ita
lian proverb says, jf not true, deserves to
be true. There is an abominable custom
in England of giving money-presents (com
monly called mils) to servants in private
liousds where you take a meal or sloop.
When Garibaldi / was leaving Stafford
House, the residence of the Duke of
Sutherland, whose guest he had been, he
handed twenty pounds ($100) to the at
tendant who had been appointed to wait
upon him particularly, and begged that lie
would do him the favor of distributing it
among the servants of the house, adding
an especial gratuity for the man himself.
This last was respectfully but firmly de
clined, with a how, and the man took the
twenty golden coins down to his fellows in
the servants’ hall. Presently lie returned,
and laying the money down on the table
before Garibaldi, assured him that all the
servants wore unanimous in declining to
receive money from him, as they wished
him to believe that their services had been
rendered out of respect and admiration,
and not with the ordinary pecuniary ex
pectation. What could Garibaldi do but
feel that this was as high a compliment—
though it emanated front what a cynic
might call flunkyism—as he had been paid,
in England by prince, peer, or commoner ?
Commenting on General Fremont’s let
ter, and its assertion that the liberty of the
country is. threatened by the present Ad
ministration, the Evening Post very sensi
bly inquires;
“ What has become of the Senate!—what of tho
House of Representatives I—what or the Judiciary 1
Are they all gone, swallowed up, destroyed by the
/Executive Department! Are Mr. ijlncoln, Mr.
Seward, and Mr. Ohase, the grand triumvirate who
have absorbed tho entire powers of the State Into
themselves, as the Roman triumvirate did in the last
days of the republic % It is on ly neccssary to ask such
a question to show its absurdity ; such a result, so far
from being actual, is not oven possible \vith a peo
ple like ours, trained as they have been and anima
ted as they still are, Inaideathless loveof Individual
freedom. If Jefferson Davis, with an immense and
infernal crew at his heels, with the resources of half
the continent, will not be as we sincerely be
lieve, to overturn our fundamental laws, we have
little fear of Mr. /Lincoln and those of his adherents
whom Gen. Fremont has eonjured into such frightful
spectres. Should he be renominated at Baltimore,
and a large number of people give him their votes,
as they unquestionably will, we shall nevertheless
expect to see the United Stated in' full career, and
the inhabitants of them still enjoying the many
benefactions of freedom, justice,-ana prosperity
which they now possess in unexampled measure.”
If the Opposition were content to oppose
the usual party arguments to the Union
movement, they would unquestionably be
received with more respect than the mon
strous. and .self-evident absurdities upon
which it depends, and of which this cry
of freedom ruined is an example. Theirs
is the vaulting ambition which o’ericaps
itself; . the accusation is too palpably
false to find acceptance with the most cre
dulous. The President is not a tyrant;
nor can all the sophistry in the world force
eveipa small part of the people to believe
hira.one. .:
The Pennsylvania Reserves will march

turn as conquerors. Let them have a grand
reception, anti we trust some one will be
found to repeat the noble welcome with
which Governor Curtin , met them, yester
day, at Harrisburg.

■ . ■ /■■■■.’■■ B axtimorr, June 6-
THE TEMPER OF THE CONVENTION.
Tho Interest appears to centre around the Vice
Presidency, ■ The friends of General Cameron are
here in large numbers, and have been exceedingly
busy in urging the claims of that statesman. It was
thought that the delegation from Ohio; would favor
his nomination. ,We understand that no: decision
has been reached by the delegates : from that
State. If .Ohio sustains General Cameron his name
will be presented; if not, it is hardly possible that
hisjfrlends will place hts name before , the Conven
■'tion merely for the purpose of obtaining the compli
mentary vote, of Pennsylvania. Gov. Johnson, of
Tennessee, is-possihly the strongest candidate, and
it is very certain that.if he and Mr, Lincoln. Were
not from the same section of the country, he would
be nominated on the first ballot.
A large body of delegates, particularly .from New
England, urge the claims of Mr. .Hamlin on tho
■ground that it would be invidious to renominate
Mr. Lincoln and not his Vice President.
/ General Dix and Hon. D. S. Dickinson are urged
by friends.ixom New York and someof/theWest
crh States, The real contest will be between the
delegates of the East, and,the far-Western.dele
gates will nominate whoever the East desires for
the Vice Presidency.
The name of /Major General Butler is, mentioned
on the ground that it is policy do please the radi
cals, by nominating a representative radical man.
MISSOURI.
There, are two delegations here from the State of
Missouri—one represents' what is . called the conser
vative, or “Claybnnk” element composed of tho
friends of Gen. Blair. This delegation has, the meri
of being chosen within the machinery of the Republi
can party organization, and will urge their admission
: on that ground. The other is composed of tlic radical
or “charcoal faction,” and is said by their friends to
represent more completely the wishes of the Repub
lican party of the State of Missouri. Ido not know
* what course the Convention will take. If the radi
cals are displeased they, may go to Cleveland, and it
will be difficult to reject the “ elaybanks,” without
doing/ injustice to the discipline , of the party.
This is'the only unpleasant issue before the Con
vention.
//-.'■ THE CHAIRMANSHIP. ■
Ex-Governor Dennison, of Ohio, seems to have the
preference for the position of chairman of the Con
vention. •• The Hon. Galuslia A./Grow’is brought
forward by his friends as a candidate for chairman.
REGENT ARRIVALS.
Parson. Brownlow, Thurlow Weod, George W.
Curtis, and William Whiting are among tho arri
vals’this evening.- -
SECRETARY CHASE NOT TO BE A CANDI
DATE.
Mr. Chase, wo are Informed, has instructed his
friends not to permit his numo, under any condition,
to be brought before tho Convention. This’ I have
from a high delegate. ....
V’-- THE THEATRE.:
The 'Front-street Theatre, where the Convention
is to bo held, is now fully for the accom
modation of the Convention. Tho'stago.prescnts
an extensive canopy of American flags, arranged in'
the form of a tent, thus presenting quite a patriotic
appearance, and, considering - the times, quite ap
propriate. The fronts of tho boxes . are also em
bellished with the old flag, in sections of two, the
Union-jack being, connected and adorned with the
national shield. On the centre of the upper tier is
an oil painting of the. Goddess of Liberty, ; The
Dress circle will be appropriated to the delegates
cxelnslvely; the second tier to ladies, and the upper
one to the citizens generally. That the place will
be ovorerowded.ls very evident.
THE OHIO DELEGATION AND THE 7th
OHIO NATIONAL GUA,RD.
Four o’clock this afternoon was the time fixed for
the review of the 7th Regiment National Guard of
Ohio. It was to have taken place in front of Bar
num’s Hotel. Tho balcony was graced with a
beautiful silk flag upon which the ‘following ap
peared in golden letters: "Ohio is true to the
Union.” On. tho. other side, wo observed the
following:, “Ohio has sont 291,052 of hor gallant
Eons to.the.field.” The regiment, under command
dfOol. Harris, filed.up Calvert street, tho famous
hand of Professor Mentor playing in admirable
6tyle that excellent marching tune, the “Soldiers’
Chorus,” so well known from tho flue performance
of Blrgfeld’s Band in the opera of 11 Faust.” Tho
regiment halted around the monument erected to
the memory of the gallant men who fell at the bat
tle of North Point, in 1812. Tito regiment wont
through a few military evolutions in a truly ad
mirable manner, so much so as to elicit tho plaudits
of tho spectators..
SUDDEN. STORM.
But just at this moment an immense array of
black clouds darkened tho west, which soon burst
upon tho city,'anil, after clouds of dust, a heavy and
grateful shower of rain fell. This somewhat inter
rupted the programme of arrangements.
The Hon. Columbuß Delano, chairman of the Ohio
delegation, called tho delegates together and stated
that the body would move to a hall on Baltimore
street, whore a repast was in waiting for the soldiers.
The lino of march was takon. up, and theratooom
merieed falling in torrents. It was expected that tho
speech-making would take place after the storm had
passed over. The lightningat times was vivid.
PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION.
The Pennsylvania delegation held a meeting at
half past five o’clock this evening. . It Is a unit for
Lincoln and Hamlin. If, liowovor, Sir. Hamlin
Is not in the field, then the entire delegation will go
for General Cameron.
CONCLUSION.
A meeting is now being hold torrent of thoGU
more House, at which the Ohio Regiment is in at
tendance. Speeches are being: made by distin
guished gontlomon. The rain is-yet falling fast.
Tbq mooting is enthusiastic. Altogether, Baltimore
Is an exceedingly lively plaeo.

Governor Ourtin addressed them in substance as
follows
He thanked the Mayor and citizens for this hearty
welcome to the brave men of the Corps; the hearts
of the people were stirred to their depths by the no
ble acts of the Reserves. He could only say to the
’Corps,'“you have done your whole duty.” Ibwas
nearly throe years since they had loft the State, a
mighty army. That length of time had passed since,
he handed to them tlieir colors, which, they now re
turned unstained and unsullied with dishonor, co
vered with laurels of renown unoqualled In the
world’s history.
: They had visited their homes but once, and who ■
lias not heard orilound Top at Gettysburg ? When;
one regiment faltered, the Roserves were true, and
to them belongs the glory of driving tho enemy
from our State. .Their .deeds have passed Into his
tory. 1 here are times when I feel proud of my of
fice, and boro t%doy, speaking for all the people, I
bid you welcome. Yourreoord is without blemish
or spot.
I am not equal to the taskofspeaklngmf the he
roic dead you liuvo loft behind you. upon their
graves centres the gratitude of a great people.
From the North and the South, East and West,
comes the word of welcome from the Keystone - to
her gallant veterans.- The blood of the dead rushes
on my sight. I have no language adequate to ex
press my gratitude to your Corps. Wo : did not
know, three yours ago, that you would remain so
long In the public service, but I can now refer with
pride to tho part this great' State has borno In
tho contest, from , the battle of Dralnesvllle tilt
last Monday, when you struck your heaviest blow.
May you ovor be marked as brave men, who served
their’ country faithfully, in time other greatest peril.
.May.you never regret that you belonged to tho Penn
sylvania Reserves, and fought oh. every battle-field of
tho Republic. I had something to do with making
tho Reserve Corps, God bo blessed [cheers from the
soldiers], and will standby you. lam not ashamed
to boast to this multitude of bronzed faoo3 that I
have stood by you In alt your history. I bid you
welcome, frooly. [Cheers for Ourtin and,Grant.]

Tho news of the grout battles In Virginia, received
by the steamship Europa, caused a profound sensa

tounded at the magnitude of the lossos. Tho proba
ble result, of tho bloody Qombat was eagerly can
vassed on all sides.
Tho Confederate loan rccodod throe per cont. on
tho news first received, and cotton became weaker
under tho news.
Tho London Morning Post saw no appreciable ad
vantage on either shfo, but on the followlngday it
expressed a conviction that tho Federate sustained a
crushing defeat.
The London £/<jr|thought that Genera! G-ranfc had
paid too dear for his victory, and regarded his suc
cess as indecisive.
The London Morning Herald pronounced the ad
vance on Richmond a failure, and hopes the South
has passed its trial.
The London Globe said that General Leo fully
succeeded in barring the road of General Grant to
Richmond,
- These comments were the effect of the first nows
of tho battles of tho Wilderness. A day or two af
terwards, however, another steamer arrived, and
tho complexion of affairs was changed. The news
of the rapid progress of General Grahtincroased the
excitement and sensation produced by the first an

, THE DAHO-GERMAN QUESTION.
The Conference was to assemble the day the
China left Liverpool,
The London Times fears that the belligerents will
not consent to a peaceful division on reasonable
principles of the territory claimed by both. The
Germans believe they may do what they please
without the fear of exciting more than England’s
indignation. Denmark, on the other hand, is in no
hurry to end the war. having little more to lose, and
hoping much from "the chapter of accidents. To
bring these rival obstinacies into agreement is the
task of the neutral members of the Conference, and
this is not likely to be accomplished In to-day’s sit
ting. 1 ."
In the House of Lords on the 26th, the- conduct of
the Germans, in their observation of the terms of
the armistice, was debated and generally de
nounced. .

J,*L. Gerity. The chief justice was of the opinion that
the men ought to bp committed for piracy,; with a view
to being given up to the Federal Government. The two

Th e Daily Netos, In its editorial on the advices re
ceived by the steamship Cily of Washington, thinks
thatthe Northhas atlastfound a general. It says:
“Grant possesses military skill and moral power 4
which have hitherto been unknown on the Federal
side. Even the brilliancy of Lee’s achievements does
not surpass the masterly skill with which Grant has
arranged the combined movement of troops from the
frontifr of Georgia to the banks of the Potomac. The
crushing vigor which has idirected h!s blows in the
field, and the dogged tenacity which refuses to admit
the necessity of retreat or the possibility of disaster,
prove him to be of the right stamp. In fact, Grant has
fixed his teeth in his adversary, aad with sleepless
tenacity he clings to him; nor have all the efforts of
Southern skiliv and all the desperate'courage of South
ern chivalry, been able to shake off the sturdy North
erner, or even make him relax his bold. ” ;
The London Times again dwells on the increasing
difficulties and dangers incurred by Grant the farther
he advances, and Lee falls back on his resources. It
adds: “However the war may go in Virginia, it is
perfectly clear.that the hold of the Federals is loosening
in the Southwest, and that even their great resources
are Insufficient for the permanent occupation of a terri
tory so vast as.that belonging to ihe Confederacy. ”

THE DANQ-GERMAN QUESTION.
The Eurosja,.of Frankfort, says:
“ Information relative to the Conference, the accuracy
of which we can guarantee, announces that the repre
sentatives of tlie Powers have now to choose between a
war threatening to overstep the limits of the Duchies,
and the adoption of a system spviVff satisfaction fco-the
Danes and Germans alike. This system wonld be the
constitution of Holstein and the, Gorman portion of
Schleswig in a single State, the people to decide by
universal suffrage upon the interior government they
would prefer. The remainder of Schleswig would be
united to the Danish monarch.”
The Ducbyiof-Lunenburg was demanding a separation
from Denmark, equally with Schleswig and Holstein.
It wae asserted that a more warlike tone prevailed at
Copenhagen, and that the Government of Deumark had
resolved to recall its plenipotentiaries if the German
Powers did not modify their demands.

The Trmw remarks; General Grant is following the
military arithmetic of Napoleon, which promised car
rain remits as the product of so many thonmnd lives;
but Napoleou always aimed at a vital point; whereas,'
the Confederates and the Confederate cause have no one
vital point. ; The capture of Richmond will never bring
the North quo step'ncaror the restoration of the uuujo,
.or ih© conquest of the Smith. If Gmieral Grant ever
marches into Richmond, lie may flud that Lee has ox--:
acted the utmost obtainable price iu blood, and will
leave the position in his hands with no grtjutor value
than that attached to the Wilderness after the fighting

CITY ITEMS.
A Grand Opportunity.— Thcro are thousands
of people throughout the loyal States who have
heard much about the unequalled fame of the
Wheeler & Wilson -Sewing .Machine, but who have
not bad the opportunity of examining it in opera
tion. The “Great Central; Fair,” wkieh opens to
day will afford many of those persons the opportu
nity of doing so, and we would cordially invito, the
.attention of visitors at the Fair, strangers espe
cially, to examine the Sewing Machine department
with this view, and while promenading Chestnut
street also to call at No. 704, above Seventh street, to
see the princely stock of these inimitable machines
there exhibited. We presume that large numbers
of these instruments will be purchased by visitors be
fore leaving the city, and we need hardly remind the
render that the Wheeler & Wilson Machine is the
best in the world. We may state in this connection,
that every Wheeler &. Wilson Machine sold is
warranted to'give perfect satisfaction, or the money
will be refunded the purchasers.

To the Public:
In this morning’s papers and in street-posters, an
nouncement is made of Gift Concerts at the Assem
bly Buildings, and a statement is made that “ a por
tion of the proceeds is to be donated to the United
States Christian Commission.”
The United States Christian Commission has uni
formly protested against lotteries, raffling, and every
kindred thing in its name. As this “ Gift Concert”
scheme appears to be essentially a lottery, the Com
mission must and does earnestly protest against the
use of its name to promote its success.

Tiie Greatest Invention op the Age.— lt

invention of modern times, in a humanitariansenSe,

to convince the intelligent reader that the most per
fect of these improvements yet given to the public
is the celebrated “Florence” Machine, sold at the
agency of the Florence S. M. Company in this city,
No. 630 Chestnut street. It is the. simplest, most
efficient, durable, and, in all respects, most desira
ble in use; and every machine sold is warranted to
give perfect satisfaction, or the money will be re
funded.
New Novelties for Ladies and Misses.—
Messrs. Wood 2c Cary, No. 725 Chestnut street, have

tempered, but we fear there is too much truth In it.
