Southern Commercial Convention
Third Days Proceedings—Reports of
Committees--The Grand UemonstraUon
—Synod of Kentucky.
(By Telf graph to the Pittsburgh 6asette.l
LOUISVILLE, October 14.--The mem
bers of the Convention were tardy to
day, and many failed to - reach the. Opera
House during the session, which began
at 12:30. There was bdiely a quorum
present when President Filmore called
the meeting to order, but a good many
came in before the Adjournment.
James W. Meaalev, of Virginia, Chair
man of the Committee on Immigration
submitted a report which was adopted,
after some discussion. The following is
a synopsis of the report: The report was
prepared to be presented .to the Louis
ville Convention by the Committee on
Immigration, raised by the Memphis
Convention'of May, 1869. I
The report says that the population of
the whole country was, according to the
first census in 1790, very nearly equally
divided between the North .and South.
According to the census of 1860, the pop
ulation of the two sections was: North
19,869,182, South 12,048,149. This shows
that of the emigrants and their descen
dants, who had come into the country
during the seventy years, from 1790 to
1860, and were then living,. 7,321,033
more had settled in the North than had
settled in the South. .
According to estimates made, every
foreign immigrant who settles in the
country adds 161,500 -to the national
wealth. But' to be clearly within the
limits, your Committee will assume it'to
be fsOCl_per head. The industrial capital
I o f the North over and above the South,
from immigration alone, has thus been
increased by this enorindus sum. The
North has outstripped the South in the
struggle for mineral wealth.
The object of your committee is to de.
devise means which- 'may enable the
South to participate in the advantages of
immigration. Most if not all the South;
ern States, since the war, have adopted,
measures for the encouragement of for
eign immigration. These measures
have not been attended with mach
success. The sympathizing class of
Europe is wholly uninformed in
regard to the Southern Stares, and is
rom ignorance, and in some sort, mis
information, greatly prejudiced against
them. This ignorance must be dispelled.
-These prejudices against the South
ern States apply with equal force
to all. This obstacle should be
removed.. : An. impression prevails
that the climate of the South is un•
suited to the white man. Europe has
heard of the paralell of thirty-aix degrees
thirty minutes as a dividing line between
I black and whitdelabor in America,
Spain, Italy, Barbary, Egypt mitt 'Asia
Minor, which lie to the south of this line,
and are within the same parallels of lati
tude which include the southern States:
are inhabited by races hating tanned or
black skins. From this it is inferred
that the climate - of the southern
States la unsuited to the Teutdns.
So long as these hurtful prejudices ex
ist, the emigrating stream or Germans,
Swedes and. Norwegians, Britons and
Danes, will never flow into the Southern
States. The removal of these prejudices
can be best accomplished 'by tinned of
fer'. The plan contemplates State organ•
ize Lions.
In the grand demonstration this morn
ing there were hundreds of vehicles in
line, representing the various manufac.
luring and mercantile interests of the
cities around the Falls of the Ohio,
many of them elaborately and tastefully
ornamented. The procession is esti
mated to have been seven miles in length
and three hours and a quarter passing a
given point. It was iniquestionably the
grandest affair of the kind ever gotten
up in the West. . •
During the afternoon session lengthy
reports were made by the Committee
on the Encouragement of Immigration;
Committee, on Finance and Banking,
and the Committee on Mie sissippi Levees.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, also presented
. a very elaborate report memorializing
Congress to improve the navigation of
the Tennessee River, which was adopted
without a dissenting voice. At three
o'clock the Convention adjourned until
to.morrow. ,The business of the Cenven
tion to-morrow will be immense.
The klynod of Kentucky, representing
the Assembly party, commenced its an
nual sessioti at 73f o'clock last evening,
in the Walnut street Courch. The open..
ing sermon was preached by Rev. Thos.
Clemand, of Lebanon. Rev. Dicken-
Son of Bowling • Green, was electild
Moderator, and Rev. Mr. Hendricks
Tenzporary Clerk. Delegates from all
the!, Presbyteries' in the State are in at
tendance. The session will probably
last till Monday last.

NEW YORE CITY.
(By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
NEW YORE, October l4.—Ttie Congres
sional Committee on the Causes:of the De
-1 dine in American "Cbmmerce, held its
first meeting to-day in the Custom
house. A committee from the New
York Ship Owners' Association was in
attendance. The Maine ship builders'
interest was represented by Messrs. Hay
den and Hiclaborn. On the park of the
New York Ship Owners' Association,
statemems and arguments were submit.
ted to prove that the remedy for the
low condition of Amerian shipping in.
terests is in the repeal of the navigation
laws, and in permitting American Ship
owners to buy ships in England, or any
other foreign country, which they are
now prevented from doing by the prohi
bition of American registry to foreign
built vessels. That the amendment of
the Internal Revenue so as to allow ship
stores to be obtained free of
dray, as in I Great Britain, would
enable American ship owners to compete
in the carrying trade with foreign ves
sels, They advocated, incidentally, the
allowance bf drawbacks to American
chip builders in marfnlals used in ships,
and; argued that thus in a few years
American shipbuilders would be able to
produce either iron•or wooden vessels as
cheaply as they can now be produced
on the Tyne or Clyde, while free trade in
ships would give immediate relief to
American ship qwnete, and prevent the
monopoly of the carrying trade by for
eigners.
on the part of the Maine ship Wind
ing iaterestwthe argument :was that the
only remedy needed was the allowance
of drawbacks and that to; agree to the
progoaltion o f New York ship own
ers Association, for free trade in ships
would be the finishing Wm , / to the ship
building interests of the country. The
Obramittee meets again to-day (Friday).
Many eminent gentlemen connected
with the shipping interests of the coun
try will appear before the Congressional
Committee tomorrow. Thedeliberation
of the Committee will extend over a
month, and a report, embodying the re
sults of the investigations, will be
presented to Congress early in December.
The committee willprobably rem m men d
a repeal of the law forbidding the trans
feror a vessel placed undei foteigri tags
during the war. by American. ship ,
owners, and the re-enactment of the law
rendering it necessary that vessels bear
ing the American flag should have at
least three fourths of their crew Ameri
can citizens.

Yesterday Matthew Anerberger made
intortnation bofore Alderman Mullen
charging John McKeown with assault'
and battery. A similar Information was
made against the same party by Barbara
Lang. It appears that Anerberger crow
copies a house in the Second ward, owned,
•by M'Keown, tut gave notice that he'
intended giving it up. Anerberger al
leges this information was conveyed , to
McKeoft by Mrs. Anerberger when she
paid the rent, which so aggravated Mc-
Keown that he threw her down with such
violence as to cause serious lajury. It is
further alleged that she has been Rick in
bed ever since. Her sister ' Barbara
Lang, was in the house at thetime, and
was also roughly handled,•accordtng to
her statement made in the information.
The accused was arrested and gave bail
for a hearing next Saturday morn
ing.
Knock Down.=-John Snyder &Id Geo.
Verner are butchers, doing busLuess in
the Pittbargh market. Yesterday they
had a friandly meeting in a saloon in
Diamond alley, but after leaving, the
friendship suddenly ceased, and a quar
rel resulted, during which Verner
knocked his opponent down. This is
the statement of Snyder, who decreed a
warrant to be leaned yesterday, by Al
derman Moßiasterst for the meat of the
alleged assailant.
