The Republican Convention for the nom ination of a candidate for Mayor met yeßterday in the Cornmou Council cham ber. when ex-Governor Johnston called the convention to order. It is not our purpose to follow the convention through its torturous proceedings, nor shall we re port the motions and counter motions made by the friends of the two gentlemen I who were so very anxious to serve the people m the capacity of Chief Magistrate of this great city for the next two years. VVe may, however, state that Dr. A. G McCandlese, of the Sixth Ward, was bot tle holder for Lowry, and that Mr. T. Davis, of the Second Ward, held the sponge for Mr. McCarthy. In justice to Mr. Davis we wiil say that for so young a mau, he played his cards well, and that Dr. McCandless, old stager as he is, found his match in the young gentleman from the Si eend Ward. The bone of con'ention was the admis 9 ‘ onof d^ le K ale9 from the Eighth ward. Two sets pres, uted themselves and claimed seals—one set for Lowry and the other for Sawyer. Both were ruled out, thua living the convention practically power.--. u, do business, as on all tes. questions the vote stood 20 to 20 Bence nours were speuL, and a great amount of gas let off in an endeavor on the [.art ot the the friends of the rival as pirants fur the admission or rejection of -he claimants from this Ward. Various were the expedients resorted to settle the J mat.er but wnhoi.i avail. Witnesses were called, who t stifit-u that any amount of 'Copperheads" h.ul voted in the Eighth Ward, and by their evidence showed a pretty 6Late of 'hinge generally. It here became very evident that unless some kind of a compromise could be patched up between Lowiy a:.d McCarthy the convention would nave to go on vot mg twenty tn twenty for all time, and a motion was made to adjourn—it now be ing two o clock—for one hour, to allow •he members of the convention to partake of dinner, and, we suppose, in the mean time to do aliitb- Mg-roiling. KVEMm; session .30 Cents. I Ihe convention aafremoled after taking lan hour s recess. I)r. M’Candless, the leader ot the Lowry taction, moved that a committee ot nine be appointed to devise some way by whict the machinery of the | convent:ou could be loosed srom the dead-lock to which it had been brought during the lorenoun session. The motion prevailed, and the committee, being ap' pointed by the convention, consisted of h.e Lowry and foui McCarthy men. The convention then Look a recess to enable the co. iiuua-e U; upon some plan by which the •* machinery o! the convention could be unlocked, and a nomination made. Ihe committee returned. Before ■ortiD* the roll was called at the request >1 Mr. DaviE, ot the 2d ward, when, u ap •earing that all the delegates were present, the committee reported through its chair man, Mr. Brush, that Mr. Baldwin of the 2d ward be elected chairman. Mr. Bald win, upon taking the chair, made a brief Hpeech, in which he hinted very plainly that the dead lock ’ had been removed, and that it would take but a few minutes to settle the maUrtr. On motion, u w, s resolved to proceed to vote for Mayor viva voce ; a mere Jarce a.s the matter had been settled in the com in rooni. ihp vole aloud, lor Lowry M'Carthy 2<i. Mr. M Ca.. thy here entered toe room ana staled that after re viewing the whole ground he had resolved to withdraw from the conteat. He had no part in ihe Bth Ward conteat. He was for the party, first, last and all the time, bid elevate and sustain lhe purly. he waswil hug to sink the man. 1 t„. success ot the parly was paramount with him to all per socai considerations. Mr. M Cargo was nominated lorcontro ler by acclamation. Mr. Hichbanm was nominated for Treas rer by acclamation. On motion it was resolved that at the next election for Mayor the party vote by ballot. An Lxecutive Committee wae then ap pointed for the eiisaing year. \r COmmiUee waa appointed to wait up (•u Mr. Lowry u:.d bring him before the convention. Mr. Lowry being introduced, said that he would not bore the convention w '' ”* a speech. He had the kindest feel g for hie com fie: uore, and, il elected, he would curiy out t .e laws of the cuy to the beat of his ability. He would make cer tain changes in the policy which he con ceived public opinion (femanded. He lhanksd the convention for tne honor con ferred upon him, and mired amid the applause of the convention. On motion, the eouvemion adjourned sine die.

Have received on consignment a lot of Manofoc turaj and Cigar Loaf, which they are ordered to aau at very low fignrea for cash. Call and see the noS The $3OO Clause. It is proposed that Congress shall abol ish the clansein the enrollment law which allows a drafted man to commote for ser vice by paying $3OO. Referring to this, the Philadelphia Ledger remarks: This clause has been the subject of con siderable misrepresentation, and it has been used to array the poor man against the law. But the law as it stands, is real ly a protection to the poor, for without it the price of substitutes will rise so high that only the rich could afford to escape service in the army. It matters not much to a rich man if he has to pay $l,OOO, or even $2,000 for a substitute. But how maDy persons working for wages or salaries that yield only a living could afford to pay such a price? An industrious mechanic making $lO a week at his trade, could af ford to give $3OO to release him from a service of three years, equivalent only to $lOO a year out of his wßges. and still be, pecunitfrlv, a large gainer, comparing his wages with the amount the Governmenl gives in pay, bounties Ac. Repeal the exemption and compel him to give $l,OOO for a substitute, and not one out of a thousand would bs able to pay it. If the purpose is to drive these men into the army, a repeal of the $3OO exemption would do it. The commutation fund, ac cording to a dispatch from Washington, has yielded up to the present day $12,000,- 000, which, divided into bounties of $3OO, ought to have produced 40,000 men for tbearmy, ps Government substitutes. This is as many as was obtained directly by drafting, according to the report of the Secretary of War. It is doubtful if as many men for the army could be got out of the same draft, if the pripe of substitutes was considerably increased over $BOO. Unwillingness to serve in the army, and the heavy cost of being relieved from the service, would add largely to the number of desertions or attempts at escape or secretion. The National Bank Reporter.— Me-ara. Feld * Lare have laid ou oar table their Reporter for December 15. It has been entirely re set with new and beautiful type and presents a fine appear ance. We notice that besides describing all counterfeits, and bank funds, it gives dercriptious of genuine bank notes which enable holders of money to detect an al tered or spurious note at a glance. The broken, closed and worthless lists of banks of each State are arranged alphabetically at the commencement of the State in which the institution was located, also all the new national banks. The publishers clnim to have the largest and mdst com plete Reporter in the country. It is issued monthly at one dollar a year, and is cer tainly worth the price of subscription.

December 15, —A special to the Tribune dared Washington December 14, says : —Additional reasons for believ ing that Gen. Schofield will soon be re moved. and a mao whose heart is with what :.,te called Radicals will be pnl in his place. As to any change iR the Cabinet, noth og particularly known. Senator Bayard, of Delaware, never having taken ihe anti Rebellion oo:h as required by an act of the last session, was informally reminded of the fact by the Vice President today, and requested to say whether he waß prepared to take the D ow. He replied in the negative, adding that if the Senate, by a formal j vote, required him to take the oath, he | should resign. The question will, doubt- I less, be brought up to morrow, and there is no doubt, if he keeps bis promise, Delaware wiil soon have a more fitting representative. Mom important concessions have been made to Volunteer officers to rnter the Navy by the Government. Their names will be inserted, I understand, in the Register \n precisely the same manner as those of regular naval officers. Letters from Morris Island stale that! the rebels are working very hard on Sulli I van’s Island, increasing their works, and | shelling Forts Gregg and Wagner. ! The rebel iron clads occasionally get up Bteam.but are always careful to avoid a fight. The rebels are gaid to be very savage, and do not Bpare our men when they catch them. Reconuoissances are frequently made from the fleet, and ranch valuable information obtained. Our forces are not idle. A Joint Committee will propably heap pointed to consider what legislation is necessary to enable the loyal people of the South to restore their States to the Union on the basis of the President’s Message and Proclamation. To th = s committee, probably, will be referred the bills now be-; fore Congress cn the subject of slavery, and such other bills as may be introduced which bear upon the general topic. 1 he inuadatiou of the army with politi cal Brigid.er Generals ha« received each earnest protests from Grant and Hooker that it is not only very certain, tyit that Congress will correct the many errors of the past in thib regard. The Assistant Clerk to the Senate Mili tary Committee, the House and Librarian and several other minor officials at the Capitol, supposed of sympathy with the secessionists were to day removed. It has recently come to the knowledge of the Government that there is along the frontiers of Canada upwards of 10,000 de- serters, most of them iu a Buffering condi tion and are anxious to return and join their regiments I f ii probable that the Pres dent will soon issue a Proclamation offering a free pardon to all who will join their re giments wiihin thirty days.

Home— The Sptaker laid before the Honse a message from the President cor d.ally recommending Capt. John Rogers Who captured the Fingai, for his dirtinJ gnished zeal, bravery and general good' conduct, to receive a vote of thanks from Congress. Thiß preliminary being re qmred by law in order that he may be ad vanced one grade in the navy The Speaker said he fonnd on his table a letter from J. 8. Riddle, signing himself P° V^ n .? r ele ? t °( Louisiana, notifying him of the resigns ion of Thomas Colt man, a member $ f the House, bat as the lat era name does not appear on the rolls' ot tbe House the communication waa not mid before the House. Mr. Stevens, of Pa., introduced a series L ? ,“i ! t 0 ‘be various branches of the President’s message to the appropriate committee and that part with reference to tie treatment and condition of the rebellions States to a ifZ% m Xl ee!A to be appointed He was fcr the Constitution as it is, and the L nioiiae it was, and not as it is inter preted. He would dispossess the slave holder of the Union as those who invaded the Chesapeake He would put a loyal crew on board and sail the good ship Union fatherß done it. p The aabstUnte of Mr. Davis was adopted yeua. 89 , nays. 90. On motion of Mr. Cox, it was resolved tna t the several additional standing com mitiees, appointed under rule No. 102 be directed at once to perform the duties prescribed by aaid rale, and gamine into he state of accounts and expenditures of the several Departments lespectfally sab muted to them. J Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, called up the resolution in relauou 10 the exchange of prisoners, arguing vehemently against the poncy ol reinsing to exchange onr suffer ing while soldiers, the languishing, starv mg and diseased white men, because the rebels refuse to exchange negro captives. He denounced at length the policy of the administration upon the several points in which the negro is affected, characterizing its position as monstrous, and referring to the present era as the reign of Abraham the hirst. He.averred that his own loyal ty was unspotted, that he hated’with an dying vigor the crime of secession: it was evident that his policy was only a part of that policy to perpetuate the party power or the administration. • On motion, Mr. Cox offered the follow ing resolution, introduced by him yester day, which was adopted; Resolved , that the Secretary of War be directed to communicate to this Houa« the report made by Maj. Gen. M’Clellan concerning the organization and oppera lions of the Army of the Potomac while under his command; and of all army operations while he was Commander-in- Chief. The House then adjourned. Washington, Dec. 16.— The Star lur. r.ishes the following in advance of its pub ication : Telegrams were received here last evening from Knoxville, np to yester day morning. General Foster had assum ed command of the troops late under Burnside. The latter had departed from Knoxville for Cincinnati; all was then qmet in the vicinity of Knoxville. Tt was stated there on the authority of scouts and messengers that much of Longstreet’s ar tillery and trains had fallen into the hands of our pursuing forces, but this lacked confirmation. The region in which the pursuit is now being made is so far distant from the telegraph as to make it difficult to verify such statements. General Butler and a number of the Sanitary Commission, now at Fortress Monroe, have telegraphed to the govern ment authorities here that the rebel au thorities have stooped the distribution of supplies sent to Union prisioners in their hands. We are notified that np to this time no confirmation had reached Wash ington indicating that any thing like an official rebel notice has been communica ted to either Gen. Butler or General Mere d.ith The fact\that Ould, the rebel Com missioner of Exchange, replied yesterday or the day before to General Butler’s ten der of vaccine matter to be used among the prisoners that it would be disposed of promptly as requested, leads ns to hope there may be a mistake. HEOAB. TRIPOLI, San Fbanoisoo, Dec. 14.—The consti tution for Nevada territory, which the people will vote for or against, ia publish ed. It declares that every citizen owns a permanent allegiance to the Federal Government. Neither the Legislature nor the people are permitted to create a State debt exceeding three hundred thousand dollars, but that three millions of bonds may be issued to aid in the construction of the Pacific railroad. Sessions of the Legislature is fixed at sixty days, Balary of members eight dollars daily. State offi cers elected for two years and three Su preme Judges for six years Paper money prohibited. Mines and mining property to be taxed the same as other property. The latter proposition meets with decided opposition. Boston, Dec 15. —The New Orleans correspondent of the Boston Traveller writes that the expedition of Gen. Baokh to Texas is a glorious success. The Un ion men are rallying under the standard cf General Banks in large numbers. -All the Texans asked waaa force to back tliem up, and they repeatedly said that if a suf ficient army was sent to assist them tfiey would soon have Texas all right Again. They have already proved the troth of their statements, for General Backs has recruited firo regiments since he landed ip that state, and the good work is still going on. j from knoxtille FROM CALIFORNIA 0 O.Milfrg .
