THE NEWS.
From Heart's Content we hear that the
ltritish War steamers Terrible and Galatea ar
3-lye(' at St. Johns, N. F., at nine o'clock on the
evening of the 15th. The Great Eastern had
returned on the 11th to Sheerness. Captain
Napier reports that the cable parted on Wed
neday. the 2d instant, in 1,550 fathoms of
va lor. it was three times grappled for, and
each time raised 1,200, DO% and 600 fathoms,
every time the grappling broke, but the cable
remained unbroken. The Great Eastern,
therefore, returned to England for better
grappling gear, when another attempt to raise
the cable will, in all probability, be made one
hundred miles east of the break, where the
water is scarcely over fifteen hundred fathoms
deep. One of the electricians said that no
difficulty -whatever was incurred in grappling
even in the greatest depths. The buoy, being
fastened with pieces of condemned cable,
rides the gale well. The news by the Terrible
and Galatea is Corroborated by the journal of
Cyrus W. Field, which we elsewhere print.
Other facts are also given by Mr. Field among
the causes of the breaking of the cable.

THE 'UNION STATE CONVENTION.
It was appropriate that the first great
Convention of the National Union party of
PCitmyWards, held since the overthrow of
the rebellion, should be controlled by the
'most exalted patriotism; that its action
should be in harmony with the mighty work
of our victorious sons, and tlmt no par
tial or grovelling spirit Omuta be per- .
milted to qualify or dwarf its_ decisions.
Ind in pointing to the proceedings of the

monwealth. From the initial organiza
tion to the harmonious close, everything
IVCS done with a sympathetic regard for

&regard of all selfish or small considera

however, was the emphatic assertion that

promise to the soldier "to be kept to the

mand of the lines, and GRANT ordered the
decisive advance next day.
The candidate for Surveyor General,
Colonel JACOB M. CAMPBELL, of Cam
bria county, is a Western veteran,
competent to stand aide by side with so
noble a soldier as HanTRANFT. He en
tered the service under the call of July,
1861, and served out his fall time. His name
is a tower of strength among the moun
tain heroes, and will carry consternation
through the ranks of the party that op
posed the war for the salvation of the 13e
public. What makes these selections addi
tionally opportune and Welcome, is the fact
that neither of these gentlemen were politi
cians before they entered the service of the
country.
The resolutions are remarkably full and
Well-drawn, doing credit to that conscien
tious and daring intellect, IVATIin Me-
VEIGH", the chairman, and meeting all the
issues With fleet-footed emphasis. The re
solution endorsing the President is genial,
complete, and full of a generous confi
dence ; and the succeeding declarations on
his " indulgent " policy are, we think, in
close accordance with his own disappoint
ment at the violent course of many of the
Southern leaders in the face of this policy.
There is a comprehensive suggestion as to
the confiscation of the rebel States for the
extinction of the National debt, aui the
payment of the pensions of the Union sol
diers. The indictment of the Democratie
leaders is a chain-shot into their ranks—
terrible in its truth and its logic.
The singling out of Enwng M. STAN
TON for strong commendation was but
simple justice, fearlessly earned by a
public servant who serves his country, as
the quiet soldier fights her battles, in a
shower of the missiles and blows of her
foes. The endorsement of Governor
CuisTm was no less pointed and de
served. We do not wonder that the
Convention rose at these proud tributes
to faithful public servants. Thus do
we enter upon the canvass of 1865, as well
as 1866—for these pledges and principles
will last through more than one season, and
carry our flag invincibly against all the
devices of the Opposition. Most aus
piciously, too, that sterling War Demo.
crat, Hon. JOHN CESSNA, of Bedford,
takes the helm as Chairman of the
National Union State Central Com
mittee. His fine abilities as a - speaker
and a writer, and his great moral in
fluence as an experienced legislator and
upright lawyer, will give great weight to
his counsels. A good day's work—and, let
us trust, the beginning of many years of
honest and wholesome rule for the organi
zation of the loyal men of Pennsylvania.
LETTER FROM OCCASIONAL.”
WASHINGTON, August 17, 1865
The visitor to Washington, even in this
hot and dusty season, will be agreeably sur
prised to see what a city it has been made
by emancipation and the war. In old
times, there was not a duller town on the
continent than this same national capital
(luring a long summer recess. The empty
halls of the great legislative palace were a
fair type of the deserted hotels and silent
streets ; and the only quarters where one
might go for active life—the Departments—
seemed to be dozing along under the influ
ence of a leaden and languid e4afine. There
were no amusements to fill the vacant hours
of the officials. Everybody that could afford
it, and hundreds who could not, left for
northern or neighboring watering-places.;
and the heads of departments, and fre- ,
quently the President, were glad to escape
the contagious lassitude by hiding away-in
cool country houses, or seeking the refresh
ing breezes of the sea. Go to Washington
no w : an d if yon-remerahar other midsurn.
leers you need not be reminded of the con,
trast. Although the mighty armies that
clustered in the environs have retired,
and the sight of a blue coat is be
coming as rare as it WAS five- years agoi
there is a healthy bustle of business all
around you. The cars on the two city:
railroads' are filled with travellers, the
hotels are all liberally patronized, three
theatres are in Constant nightly session, and
the newsboys are crying the daily papers,
morning and evening, with as much vigo•
roils volubilityas if every extra contained
the news of a veritable victory. The spirit
of improvement has not, therefore, ceased
with the war—although it has changed
from a fashion for temporary structures to
a competition for buildings of stone and
brick. Probably the best sign that Wash
ington has become a genuine city is in-the
high prices asked and paid for real estate.
The difficulty of renting, and the extrava
gant rents, show that the population is
steady, and steadily on the increase. A.
stranger riding through the side streets will
be astonished at the abounding evidences
of wealth, taste, and comfort. Since F
street has been paved and graded it is a de
lightful thoroughfare. Property holders
are evidently inspired with a pleasing sense
of security never experienced since John C.
Calhoun began to plot treason in the Capi
tol, and made every decade a period of
panic and of depression. Men would net
risk their money in a city which might
at any day be made a battle-ground, and
be lost and won, according as faction fail
ed or gained. Now that the baleful theory
of perverted State rights has perished, and
the idea of a strong Government "of the
people, by the people, and for the people,"
has been baptized and crystallized in the
precious blood of our children, the strongest
part of our political system is the centre—the
heart, National affection, interest, pride,
end the thousand objects that awaken soli
citude and curiosity, are so many ele
ments and ingredients of the rapid growth
and splendid greatness of Washington. It
has cost millions of money and thou
sands of lives to save it from spoliation
and from ruin ; and, if we loved it
before the rebellion, we must feel a yet
keener and stronger attachment to it as we
feel that some of those nearest and dearest
to our hearts and our hearths have fallen in
its defence. It is now indeed worthy of be
ing the capital of our great Republic. The
sighs of the slave no longer sadden the air ;
the slave-pen no longer disgraces the Dis
trict of Columbia ; the slavemaster holds
no seat in the Senate house, from which
"to threaten and command." All who
choose- are free to come and to go. All
are free who stay. The Government that
protects and represents a brave people, only
asks is return loyalty and obedience.
Letter from Lieutenant General Scott.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Herald :
In the Herald of the lath instant (yesterday)
it is said: 11 Lieutenant General Scott, then at
the head of the United States Army, hail writ
ten a letter to Mr. Seward, dated blarca 3, 1851,
clearly intimating that, in his opinion, the
better policy was to let the erring sisters (se
ceding States ,) depart in peace."
This is a misapprehension. In that letter—
d eel ared on its face to he, supplementary to one
of the preceding Oeteber addreSsed to Presi
dent Buchanan—General Scott suggested four
methods of cleating with Secession, of which
that quoted by the 'Jerald is the last. The re
duction of the seceded States by arms was his
third measure, the first and second indicated
hi his two letters addressed to Messrs. Becha
r:in and Seward respectively having failed.
These were to reinforce all the defences of the
South ern ports with troops,-sloops-of-war and
revenue cutters;
. to permit all exports to pass
free, and also all imports, except materials of
war and dutiable articles, making , the collec
tions on the latter below the cities, to avoid
conflicts. w.

WASHINGTON.
THE CROPS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY.
WHAT OUR HARVEST IS LIKELY TO BE.
GREAT CROWDS VISITING THE
PRESIDENT.
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENTS RESULTING
(Special Despatches to The Press.]
WASHINGTON, August 17, 1865.
The President's Policy as to New York.
flowerer explained, the real secret of Presi
dent Joensosr's appointments in New York is
to be found in the fact that he desired to have
men not Identified with former party and per
sonal combinations. I suspect it is the fact that
Mr. DRAPER, the Collector, heard that the Pre
sident wished to put PRESTON KING into the
once, and that he resigned to enable him to
gratify this wish. But there are thousands of
good Union men in New York, and elsewhere,
who have been kept out of position by the con
centration of Federal patronage in the hands
of a certain class of leaders—and these pro
bably will now receive some consideration.
Idowee F. °DULL, the new Naval Officer ap
pointed at New York, is a fair illustration of
this surmise. ODELL Was a Democrat in the
last Congress, and acted throughout with
Jormson, voted for the anti-slavery Constitu
tional arnendmentsat on the Committee on the
Conduct Ogee War with JOHNSON, and for his
fidelity was ostracized by Tammany Hall. lie
goes in to co-operate with PRESTON KING; not
to make a new party, but to let the country see
that the President does not intend to ignore
the War Democrats in any quarter. Two more
shrewd and far-seeing men -could not have
been found to practicalize this idea. In some
places good officers have been reappointed, as
in Philadelphia, without reference to what
they may have been in past polities; but no
policy of exclusion or of partiality was in
tended by this, as results will show. The Pre
sident is so sincerely anxious to act in the
best spirit towards all the -elements of the
great Union organization that he will counsel
similar action on the part. of nis subordinates.
Not the smallest of his ennoyances has been
the distribution of his patronage. It has ab
sorbed. much of his valuable time; indeed,
more than ought to have been given to it.
Questions of sublime magnitude and wide
reaching consequence are ever on his mind ;
and he is- the best friend of the cause who
assists in their lasting and humane adjust
ment. Far below all these are matters of per
sonal and , even of party concern. ***
Returning Reason.
There is now in Washington a Southern gen
tleman, lately arrived from one of the ex
teeniest cotton States, who says that the peo
ple of that seetion are eager to To-enter upon
their career of obedience to the laws. lie
says that whatever Congress may do in
rebuke and- exclusion of the rebel chiefs,
will be approved, and that nothing has
done so much harm as the efforts of
the so-called Democratic leaders in the free
states, in misrepresenting the intentions of
President - Joansom and his friends. He giVes
it as his opinion that these leaders dread
nothing more than the successful restoration
of the Union under the policy of the President,
as that would deprive them of all hopes of re
sum-Mg their former ascendency,. He is in
great hopes that all will be well.

Postal Arrangements.
The Postmaster General has ordered a con
tract with the Central and North Carolina
Railroad for the daily conveyance of the mails
from Goldsboro' to. Charlotte, North Carolina,
including the intermediate offices. The dis
tance is twohundred and twenty-three miles,
and the service will he resumed on other
Southern routes-from time to time, as soon as
as it shall - be reported that the roads have
been repaired and are in running order.
Fatal Accident.
Yesterday afternoon, while some workmen
were raising a large stone on the south wing
of the Capitol extension, one of the traverse
beams of the derrick and several of the guys
broke. The derrick fell from an elevation of
thirty feet or more,. with a tremendous crash,
almost completely demolishing the scaffold
ing. One of the workmen, named James Don
any, ran towards the middle of the street, but
a falling timberintercepted him, and a snatch
block- struck him on his head, completely'
eenechiee.. And, nattering his brains
about, and causing the blood to spirt In a per
feet stream, - and, of course, causing instant
death. Another of the workmen leaped from
the scaffold, thus injuring himself about the
legs, but not seriously. Several ladies were
standing in the street, watching the work,
men, and.made- a narrow escape from death
as they were but three or four feet from the
timbers when they fell. Only a. few moments
before the accident a large funeral passed by,
and had it then occurred no doubt many lives
would have been lost, as the carriages were
moving very closely together.
President Johnson's Pfohlfl—Speech by
Secretary Harlan.
Major General DuRTIS was serenaded to
night, and acknowledged the honor in a pa
triotic speech. The party then proceeded to
the residence of Secretary Ilantax, and after
the band bad pi ayedseveral airs he was called
out, and spoke as follows :
I have no doubt that nothing but a feeling
of friendship for me can account for tile pre
sence of the greater number of you here to
night. If any are prompted by any other
motive, I do not doubt that it is on account of
their eespeet for the Government, which
now dominates over our entire and common
country, and for the administration that is
now enforcing the laws of the Republic,
from Maine to and from Minnesota
to Texas; and possibly I Californ ia,
- may be indebted for
this compliment on account of my connection
with this Administration. You must not ex
pect me to-night to develop what will be in
the future the policy of the Individual elected
to the highest position in the gift of the Ame
rican people. No one is authorized to speak
for him brit himself, and I. doubt very much
whether be now knows what will be the policy
which he will be compelled by eiremnstanees to.
follow in the future. We rany, however, judge
of the future from his official acts in the past.
I know a large portion of the American people
feel a deep solicitude on the subject of the
probable success of his Administration, and
there are those who are the enemies of this
Administration as they were of his predeces
sor, and who are anxious to array against him
those by whose votes he was elected to his
present position? and many, X doubt not,
have much solicitude on this subject. Some
may fear that now that he has been elevated to
place and power he may turn against those
who elevated him. Those - who fear this
know but little of the man they have
honored by their votes. [Cheers.] I would
ask those who had fears upon this subject, was
he not nominated by the same Convention
that nominated the lamented Lincoln? Did
lie not accept the nomination, and place him
self voluntarily upon the same platform?
Was he not elected to the second place by
the same electors who chose the lamented
Abraham Lincoln to the first; and after suc
ceeding to the chair made vacant by the foul
act of an assassin, was not his first net a notice
to the Cabinet ofheers of his predecessor that
he desired a continuance of their services, and
have they not continued, each with his accus
tomed portfolio, with a solitary exception,
and that change was made in pursuance of an
arrangement made by his predecessor.
Did he not, when the time came, reiterate
the proclamation of emancipation which had
been issued by his predecessor, and distinctly
inform the leaders of the rebellion that they
must accept, as one result of the terrible strug
gle through which we have passed, that slavery
cannot hereafter exist in the United States l
[Applause.] Has he ever faltered in the de
claration of the doctrine that rebellion is a
great crime, and that those who perpetrated
it must suffer the penalty of the law, unless
they apply to the - Executive for clemency?

"Virginia, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Lou
isiana, and Texas. lam reminded that I may
include the State of 'Maryland also. I believe,
however, that the latter State was not pro
forma out of the Union.
In What, may I ask, doegthe plan President
Johnson now proposes for the Carolinas, Coot ,
gla, Florida, Alabama, and MieSieeippi differ
irom that applied to the States I nave mention
ed, by Mr. Lincoln] Can any one name any
important difference between the two Classes I
1 apprehend not. Nor can any- one suggest
that the question of suffrage was settled dif
ferently in the States first named from the lat
ter. Now, may I inquire of the friends of the
late President, those who thought his policy
good enough for the American people what
cause they have to complain oftlic policyorPre-
Sident Johnson ! Does any one believe that if
President Lincoln still occupied the Presiden
tial chair his own policy would be changed by
himself without a material change of eircum
stanece ? If not, who lies a right to complain
of 'his successor? We may nave our Individual
opinions on the collateral questions which
have arisen and which may arise, but we had
these differences of opinion while President
. Lincoln occupied the Executive chair. If they
were not then a sufficient cause for sundering
the, Union party, and, as a result, suffering
the country to be destroyed, are they
now ut sufficient cause to permit tins
great party to go to pieces and the country to
, ruin, as a consequence. The party which,
through the military power, suppressed a re
hellion which has had no parallel in history,
has now the great responsibility imposed upon
it to keep its columns intact and its men
massed, until the disorganized States are
reorganized, and a feeling of friendship and
unity is restored throughout our whole coun
. try. If, then, we as Union 'eon have no cause
to complain of the President for anything
-which we could not allege with equal force
against his predecessor, let us see that we give
him no cause to break with us. Allow me, in
retiring, to thank you for the honor of this
call.
Secretary Harlan then retired, timid cheers
and manic by the band.

The Agricultural Bureau—The Condi

The Agricultural Bureau has just completed
its tables, showing the condition of the crops
on the let day of August,"as reported by its
correspondents. At that time the harvest
had not been scoured, but from the corres
pondence since then, it is believed that the
wheat had not received any additional injury,
excepting, perhaps, in Wisconsin and Minne
sota, where the rains have extended since the
Ist day of August. ' •
The Department has also issued another
circular, which will be returned on the let
day of September, renewing its inquiries re
lative-to the wheat and other crops ; . also, as
to the illnollnt Of old wheat in the country;
and when this circular shall be received, the
information will be more definite and com
plete than it Is. But it is believed that the de
ficit will not be less than now reported. The
tables formed on the circulars of August Ist
show the following decrease of the crops of
1865 from those of 1884!

THE NEW YORK FRAUDS.
Nothing Particularly New Yesterday—
%he Search for Ketchum Unsuccessful
--Examinations of the Phoenix Batik
Defalestiono—Mamford Gold Frond.
[From the New York Post, last evening.]
No important dislosures have been made to
day in the great defalcation case of Edward
Ketchum, of the firm of Ketchum, Son, & Co,;
but that Erni is still engaged in the examina
tion of its books for the purpose of ascertain
ing the full extent of AS liabilities and its
assets. The list of lost securities is not yet
complete, and no final calculations can
he made until this branch of the liabilities
of the house shall be known. There are re
ports of other discoveries of losses by the
forged gold checks, but they are not well
enough authenticated to Justify the publica
tiOn of names. The estimate of the total less
yesterday at $4,000,000 is unchanged. There is
much sensitiveness among the agents of East
ern banks and financial institutions, which
did a very large amount of business with the
firm of hetchum, Son, t Co. The deposits of
the Hartford banks alone_ in this house are
stated at hilf to three-quarters of a million of
dollars. There is no reason to fear that any
of the depositors will lose their funds.
The detectives who wore sent to Boston to
endeavor to find Edward Ketchum, and to
arrest him, have been unsuccessful. It was
thought he might have fled Eastward, and that
he would attempt to go out in the Asia,
which sailed yesterday. Arrangements were
made for his detection and identification, if
he should have gone to Boston ; but it is now
believed that lie has not been in that city,
Many persons are of opinion that he is still in
or near this city. It s deemed scarcely pos
sible that he should escape ;. yet the re
markable tact and ability with which he
managed the stupendous frauds he committed
may enable him to secure his retreat.
EVrom the New rerk Express.)
- The gold checkbook used by young Ketchum
was found at his house last evening, and de
livered by Hiram Ketchum, Esq., to the Bank
of New York. Mr. Graham refused to receive
it, saying it never belonged to him. There
were three hundred and forty-live checks
used, which were taken indiscriminate] y out
of the book. It was currently reported this
morning that Ketchum & Co. had made an as
signment; but this, we believe, is premature.
The report that some of. the New England
banks were in trouble was revived to-day.

The delegates to the 'Union State Conven
tion for the nomination of candidates for
Auditor General and Surveyor General assem•
hied this morning, in the ball of the House of
Representatives-and at twelve o'clock DI. were
called to order by Hon. Simon Cameron, Chair
man of the Union State Central Committee.
On motion of tPeremin Nichols, of Phila
delphia, the Hon. John Cessna was appointed
temporary President of the body,
On taking the Chair, Mr. Cessna spoke As
follows: •
GENTLEMEN OE Tau CONVENTION: I return
you my sincere thanks forthe honor conferred
seleeting me to preside ever the prelimi
nary proceedings of your Conventien. I am
fully aware of the fact that the position is one
of difficulty, and requires the discharge of ar
duous duties. I earnestly solicit the co-opera
tion of every delegate in my efforts to preserve
order, promote harmony, and hasten the busi
ness of the Convention. On my own part I
pledge you thist. I will endeavor to discharge
the duties of the position to the utmost of•
my_ ability, with impartiality and fidelity.
I sincerely hope that the deliberations of
this body may be harmonious, and all the re
sults of our action entirely satisfactory to the
People whom we represent. I regard the Con
vention just being organized as one of no or
dinary interest. The position of Penusylyania
in the, Union, US well as her past history, enti
tles, and will command for her, a potential
voice in the reconstruction of our Govern
ment. At all hazards, and at every sacrifice
of everything save principle, must the action
of this Convention, in the-end, be unanimous.
The whole army of loyal voters who, in 18S1,
rallied around the standard of Abraham
Lincoln, and proclaimed to the world
that the Union should be preserved, and the
rebellion suppressed- at every hazard, must,
again be called into the field under the banner
which shall be hoisted here to-day. The mili
tary power of the rebellion has been crushed.
Our brave and heroic officers, soldiers, and
sailors have well performed their part. Before
the magnitude of their achievements the wars
Of former times and the battles of other na
tions sink into comparalAve insignificance,
Our nation to-day occupies a prouder position
before the world, and is more feared by the ar
istocracies of Europe than ever before. The
glories as well as the toils of our surviving he
roes, both officers andeoldiers, the memories of
the thousand's slain and starved in defence of
our Cause, the tens of thousands of widows and
orphans made such bythe wai , , and the millions
of debt willingly incurred by . a loyal people
to preserve the life of -the nation, all demand
that the fruits of the great victory of human
freedom shall not be frittered away by the
mistakes of politicians. Every man of us must
be prepared to yield upon the altar of patriot
ism all his personalpreferences and individual
wishes for the common good. There may be,
and there no doubt are, some questions about
which we may reasonably and safely differ.
Upon all the great vital issues of the day all
trul yloyal men must arid will agree. During the
four years of fearful andblooey warjustelosed, -
the rebellion increased and strengthened and
-was greatly le-retracted by reason of Northern
eylapathy. PiOW, that it is over, these men in
the North have grown bolder and more defiant
by reason of the aid and comfort which they
expect to receive in turn from those lately in
arms against the Government. True, the re
bellion is over, the lighting has ceased, but the
war is not ended, the spirit of rebellion still
lives, and it is to-day active, insolent, and de
fiant. The great object of the rebellion was
the death of the republic, the dismemberment
of the nation—that object has not been aban
doned. Those who undertook it failed to ac
complish their purpose by force of arms. They
now strive to reach-the same end by means of
management and appeals to the prejudices of
the people at the ballot-box.
This may appear to be a harsh judgment. I
would that I could believe otherwise. But the
spirit that for thirty years and more has dis
tracted our people, and disturbed the peace of
the nation, in ai hold attempt to make slavery
the ruling power. of the

field of battle after the battle was, over—the
same spirit which
_presided over the prisons
of Andersonville, Libby, Belle Island, and
elsewhere—that which organized irresponsi
ble bands of guerillas—slew innocent women
and children in railroad cars, poisoned foun
tains of water, and imported loathsome. dis
eases—the Sallie spirit Which animated the
hand of the assassin as it sped the fatal ball LO
the brain of our late merciful, magnanimous,
and patriotic President, will not hesitate-to
seize the throat or stab the heart of the nation,
and destroy, if possible, the noble old repub
lic of our fathers, utterly regardless of the
ruin and woe which may follow. Already
these men in the South are organizing
to send Representatives of their kind to
Congress. Their Mende in the North are ral
lying for the same purpose. Allow them to
succeed in their scheme, and soon the rebel
debt will be assumed, damages paid to rebels
for injuries suffered by the war, and pensions
granted to rebel wounded and rebel widows.
tinder this load it is confidently expected by
them that the good Old ship of state will SOAR
go down and the nation perish. Should thin
fail, our whole national debt would next
be repudiated and the country ruined. Shall
all this be avoided I Much of a correct
answer to this question may depend upon
your action to-day. Every dollar of debt—
municipal, State, and National—contracted
for the suppression of the rebellion, must and
shall be paid at all hazards. Not one cent Of
rebel debt, damages, or pensions shall ever be
assumed or paid upon any pretext or for any
reason whatever. Our present loyal - and pa
triotic President,Andrew Johnson, has submit
ted to these people a policy winc), challenges
the admiration of the world. It will stamp him
through all time to come as a magnanimous,
merciful, and kind-hearted ruler. In his ef
forts to carry it out he must and will receive
our hearty and zealous co-operation and sup
port. But should these people continue, as
they have already commenced, to treat his
offers of mercy with scorn and contempt, and
present to the country , and the world an ex
hibition of folly, madness, and wickedness
unparalleled, let us here proclaim to them
and to our chosen ruler that we will, one and
all,, stand by him in seizing and holding
their own territory by the military power of
the country, and that the grasp of the
military arm shall not be relaxed until
they satisfy us, by their professions and their
practices, that they are ready and willing to
accept in good faith the results of the war.
It was of their own reeking and of their own
making. They have no right tiy ask the ad
vantages of a trial unless they mean to sub
mit to the verdict. The war has not ended
until the conquered party has fairly accepted
its results, and the Government has not only
a Perfect legal right, but it is her solemn duty
to enforce those results by the military , arm.
Our four years war, the most, gigantic in the
world's history, must not be in vain. Let
the late rebels accept in good faith the policy
of our President, and we will gladly welcome
them again as brothers into the folds of our
s tr an io d n. by L h et im th a e i r d reject it, and we will
elling
them to acknowledge oui g . r t e rTun i i n ph c° a l l li n i l their
defeat. Slavery is dead, and must and shall
be buried. The spirit of slavery must die
and be buried with it. The aristocracy of the
South, which has fostered and upheld slavery,
and Which inaugurated the late terrible civil.
war, must be-shorn of its power. Already it
is a t stirring up opposition to the policy
Of the Government, and creating hostility and
bitterness among the people. Poe two years
we carried on the war without striking at the
cause of the war; indeed, we rather guarded
and protected it. At last, Abraham Lincoln,
when his time had come, on the memorable
let day of January,lB63, struck at slavery. Tho
result ie before us. And yet it Still seems as if
no lessons are sufficient tO reach the authors of
the rebellion. It is fast bet:inning manifest
that no permanent peace, even with the death
of slavery, can be secured until the authors an d.
supporters of slavery are subdued. In the
words of our present patriotic President,
"This aristocracy is antagonistic to the prin
ciples of free democratic government, and
the time has come when this rebellions ele

The time has come when their lands must

presenting the Association of Loyal Pennsyl

Mr. Thomas McNamara chairman, were' ad"
mitted to seats on the floor without the privi
lege of participating in the proceedings.
Mr. Robert B. Carnahan, of Allegheny, moved
that a committe, to consist of one from' each

cers for the permanent organization of the

On motion, the rules of the House of Repre
sentatives of Pennsylvania 'were adopted for
the government of the Convention.
Hon. Lemuel Todd, of Cuinherland, offered
the tolle*lag resolution, which was rata ;

(Applause.]
ft member rose to a point of order, which he
stated to be that the Convention, not being
fully organized, could not consider a resoln
, tion which should be considered by an organ
ized boay.
Mr. Stevens, of Lancaster, said that he had
hoped the resolution would not have been
offered until after the appointment of a Com
mittee on Resolutions, when it could be re ,
lerred-to that committee for action.
Mi. Todd said he desired the Convention to
decide - at this stage of its proceedings the
policy which would control it in making its
nominations.
A vita-voce vote, on proceeding to the second
readjpg.and consideration of the resolutioni
being taken, the Chair declared the result
doubtful. A division of the vote was then
taken with the following result : In favor of,
thirty-fcem 5 opposed to, fifty-seven.
Mr: Vincent, of Erie, called the yeas and
nays. Ife risked to have the names of those
who refused to consider the resolution.
Mr. Stevens suggested that the unanimous
consent oflthe Convention be given to con
sider the resolution as being before them, for
the purpose of moving its reference.
The mover. of the resolution expressed his
willingness to agree to the proposition, but
be would oppose the reference.
The call for the yeas and nays having been
withdrawn, and the resolution being con
sidered- as unon second reading, Mr. Stevens
moved to refer it to a committee to be ap
pointed, which should Consider all resolutions
coming before the body.
Mr. Todd then addressed the Convention
in oppositon' to the motion. He contended
that, notwithstanding the apparent fairness
of the proposition, every one who reflected
for a moment must perceive that its adoption
would be thecleath of the resolution, because
the COMmntee on 'Resolutions would not
make any repprt until after the nominations
were made.. Such being the case, the sense of
the Convention might not be carried out. He
did not believe there was an individual pre
sent who did.not entertain the warmest admi
ration of those men who had hazarded their
lives in defence of our institutions and our
liberties. It'. was necessary - to the preserve•
tion of a eonsistent record in this regard that
gentlemen should show that their past protes
tations in behalf of the soldier were honest
and sincere. Bad it not been for the hero
ism of those men, there would now be
no laws to uphold, and no occasion
for the meeting of political conventions.
Mr. Sterens.urged the necessity of a regular
system of action, and illustrated its propriety
in comparison with what is known as dema
geguieal. action. To anticipate by a general
resolution the action of the Convention upon
any question was in effect suicidal, and could
result only in binding the hands of the body.
The gentlemen who voted for referring the
resolution did not thereby vote against its
substance 5. and, if referred, as proposed, it
was highly probable that the Committee on
lteSolutions would make a report on the *ab
ject early. in the afternoon, and certainly be.
fore the nominations were made. When the
nominations came to be made, it would be
seen who. would vote as proposed in the re
solution, but for the Convention to confine
itielf:in advance to the selection of A or B,
though less worthy than a Civilian, would
to stultify itself. While disposed to go as far
as the mover of the resolution in the sup
port of. our soldiers, the speaker declared lie
was also. willing to support the worthy civil:
ran wile , had furnished the means wherewith
the war had been carried on.
Mr.. Todd, in explanation of the motive
which induced him to offer the resolution,
said that he had offered it to carry out what
he believed to be a debt of gratitude to the
soldier.
After some futilier dismission, J. W. Quern
sey, of Potter, moved to amend the motion to
refer, so as to instruct the Committe on Reso
lutions to report the resolution immediately
after the re-assembling of the Convention this
afternoon.
The amendment WeL4 neeepted aS a pArt Of
the original motion.
The motion was then adopted.
Mr. Wayne McVeigh, of Chester, moved the
appointment of a Committee on Resolutions,
to consist of thirteen.
An amendment increasing the number to
thirty-three was agreed tot when tt..o motion
as amended was adopted.
On motion of Mr. Stevens, of Lancaster, it
was directed that all resolutions coming be
fore the Convention should be referred to the
Committee on Resolutions without debate.
Mr. Kugler, of Montgomery, presented the
following from the County Convention of
Montgomery:
Resolved, That we consider the idea recently
promulgated in the State Legislature, that the
Union men of that body should adopt no law
unaceoptalge to the Opposition members of

The Chair announced the following as the

'also by deeds, entitles him to the thanks of
every loyal effiten of Pennsylvania.
11th. Resolved; That this Convention, repre
senting the loyal people of Pennsylvania, re
cognize the claims of our Minn Kidiers on
our confidence and gratitude and that, in the
nominations for offices, especial regard should
be paid to the claims-of those who have faith
fully served their country in the army or the

12th. _Resolved, That the leaders of the De
mocratic party stand arraigned before the
people Of •rOIIIISY/Yfinla for constantly ob
structing the efforts of the constituted autho.
rifles 'to maintain the life of the republic.
They did this by inflaming the passions of the
ignorant followers against the legally elected
.officers of the Federal Government, and re
fraining from all reproach against treason or
armed traitors • by procuring a decision from
the Democratic our Supreme Court
denying the right of the Government to ser
vices or citizens of this State for the defence
of our imperilled country; by discouraging
men from volunteering into the armies of the
Union, thus rendering' it necessary to suc
cumb to treason, or to pay large bounties, and
so burdening every ward, CoWnship, and
borough in the State with debt to fill
the . ranks of our armies ;_ by opposing
the enlistment of negroes for our defence
although thus one white man less was required
for every black one who could be enlisted, and
this at the very moment when the battle of
Gettysbur. ,, was raging on the soil of Pennsyl
vania, and result of that decisive battle
was uncertain; by denying to our Waters the
right to vote while fighting for the flag of our
fathers, on the plea that such rights were not
allowed by our Constitution, and by opposing
an amendment which removed their objection
and relieved our brave soldiers from thisdisa
bility ; by exaggerating public indebtedness,
denying public credit,. and teaching that the
financial resources of the North were unequal
to the suppression of rebellion; by a shame
ful opposition to the measures for ex
tending relief to the families of Union sol
diers; by a malignant effort by these means
to secure the success of the rebels in
the field, or such a protraction of the war as
would exhaust the nation in its effort to sub
due their friends by now heaping abuse upon
the Government for punishing assassins and
their accomplices ; by demanding the release
of leading traitors; by frowning down all at
tempts to bring to punishment the Rends who
starved our soldiers; by assuring rebels that
neither in person or property shall. they he
Punished for their crimes. And if anything

make labor profitable by protecting the work.
ingmen of Pennsylvania from British com
petition, would largely increase the revenue
essential to the maintenance of the public
faith and credit.
Mr. Cessna called for a division of the ques
tion oiri the resolutions, the Ara division to
embrace the platform, excepting the resolu
tions relative to theseleetion of soldiers as the
candidates of the Convention, and referring to
the appointment of members of the State Cen
trEd Committee ; the second division to em
brace the resolution relative to the selection
of soldiers as the candidates of the Conven
tion, and the third division tobe the resolution
relative to the appointment of the State Cen
tral Committee.
Mr. Todd said that the platform contained
resolutions for which he could not vote,
among others the resOltitioll proposing whole
sale confiscation of the lands Of the Southern
people. lie contended that if a man was gull
ty of crime . he should be punished, and that a
man thus guiltyshould not escape punishment
because he was not worth a certain amount of
'money. Theproposition seemed to be not to
punish men hecaue6 of their complicity with
treason, but because of their being worth ten
thousand dollars. The policy indicated by
the resolution was unjust, inasmuch as it could
not be disputed that it was the poor men of
the South who formed the bone and muscle of
tgie rebellion.
The Chairmen called attention to the fact
that the question before the body wee upon
the motion of Mr. Cessna as to the form of
considering the resolutions.
Mr. Todd said that he was about to propose
an amendment to the original motion provi
ding for taking up the reeolution.4 Separately.
A. vote was then taken on the amendment,
when it was not agreed to.
The first portion of the question on the mo
tion of Mr. Cessna was then determined affirm
atively, the platform in the main being
adopted.
The second portion orthe questionwas stated
to be on the resolution recognizing the claims
of our citizen soldiers, and recommending that
in nominations for offices special regard
should be paid to the claims of those who had
faithfully served then country douritry in the army or
navy.
Mr. Todd moved to amend the resolution by
substituting therefor the following:
That this Convention, representing the loyal
people of Pennsylvania, recognizes the claims
'of our citizen soldiers, in its confidence and
gratitude, 115 superior to all others ; and that,
M token of the sincerity of thi§, its (Malaya.
tion, it; will nominate none as candidates for
office who have not proved their loyalty and
patriotism by services In the field against the
enemies of thediepublie.
Ile stated that the resolutions of the Con.
ventiCal Were replete with , expressions of ad
miration for- the soldier ; and if Vic Conven
tion now, when the question was presented
practically, should disregard those claims,
woe be to the man who stood upon the plat
form of this Convention. He implored the
Convention, by the record, Of its past history,
'still to stand by the Soldier, and hot to dig the
political grave of the party. He wished to put
upon record his own position, and would,
therefore, call the yeas and nays.
Mr. Lynn Bartholomew, of Schuylkill, ad
dressed the Convention in a forcible speech.
He came to vote for the best man for the place,
No man had a right to bind his fellow-men to
vote for a particular class. He did not believe
in erecting any class in America, either politi
cal, military, or civil, as superior to any other.
To say that the life of the Union party de
pended upon two paltry positions, worth
about $l,BOO a year, was ridiculous.
The discussion was continued by . lion. Thad
dens Stevens, of Lancaster ; Hon. John Cessna,
of Bedford, and Hon. J. L. Vincent, of Erie. It
was contended, in opposition to the amend
ment, that it was really a proposition to create
Et nobility out of a certain Maio, thereby de
grading to that extent all other elastieS.
A vote was theii taken on the amendment
proposed by Mr. Todd, which resulted as fol
lows : Yeas, 17 ; nays, M.
The amendment was consequently disagreed
to.
The resolution Wfie then agreed to.
The next portion of the qUestion waS stated
'to be on the resolution as follows :
That the State Central Committee shall con
sist of four members from the city of Philadel
phia, two from each of the counties of Alio ,
.glieny, Dauphin, and Berks, and one person
from each of the remaining counties of the
State to be appointed ; the names to be Buhl
Mated by the respective delegations to the
chairman to be appointed by this Convention,
The resolution, after discussion, was post
poued for the present.
On motion of Mr. Cessna, the Convenlion
proceeded to the selection Of a canditlatii for
Auditor General, when the following nomina
tions were made: Major General John F.
Hartranft, of Montgomery; John A. liiostand,
of Lancaster ; it. B. McComb, of LllNVrellee ;

Shortly after tithe the speed of the ships was
reduced, fitid the cable paid out more slowly,.
while tests were aPplied to locate the faint,

At 8.50 A. M. the cable was transferred to the

pieking.up apparatus, and during the day a,
paddle boiler was connected with the former,
At five minutes past eight o'clock the next
morning the fault was-brought on board, and
found to have been caused by a piece of iron
wire, similar to that used in the manufacture
Of the cable, about two. Inches long, having
been forced between the outer wire, and

Steamed back towards Valentin twelve miles
and commenced dragging for the cable,
Thursday, at four A. M.., it being evident frets
the strain that the grapnel had caeght the
cable, we began to haul it at fifty minutes
