IRON CITY C0MMERtI,L eOLLEcE.

One ofthe most aourishing and attractive schools
of learning Is the Iroh City College. 1t numbers
among its students young gentlemen from various
States of the Union, and even from the largest
cities, where there are similar institutions-but
this one has emphaticaly overshadowed them all
We boldly assert that there is no city in the Union
which has a commercial school, where the branches
of business education are so thoroughly taugat,
as in the Iron City College OF Pittsburgh.
On entering the beautiful and commodi ous col
lege hall, we were surprised to witness the great
number of students in attendance. Every desk in
that large room appeared occupied, and the close at
tention of the students, and the delightful order
were in fine harmony with the place.
The energy and consummate skill with which
this institution has been managed, despite opposi-
ton it has encountered from its predecessors and
cotemporaries, reflect the highest honors upon its
gcntlemanly Principal, F. w. jenkins, Esq. 1t has
acquired the position, (which it can now maintain
with ease of being the very foremost and most eff
ficient Commercial College, not only in this CITY
but in the United States.-PatsbursA Erenins

PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOURTH DAY.
The first business which occupied the con-
vention was the election of a printer. Tho
rival candidates for the honor of printing
for the convention, and receiving pay in
territorial scrip, were the editors of the
National Democrat, published at Lecomp-
ton, and the Leavenworth Journal. The
Democrat is Walkers special organ, and
the whole of the Governors influence was
used in advancing its claims. 1t was no
avail-Mr. Henderson, of the Journal,
was elected by considerable majority. The
case of Messrs. Gilpatrick and Campbell
next came up for consideration. These
gentlemen are Free State men. They were
elected delegates to the convention from
districts in which no census was taken by
the bogus authorities. Their right to seats in
the convention was consequently disputed.
One gentleman spoke in favor of admitting
them to Seats but was opposed to allow
ing them to vote. A committee was ap-
pointed to take their case into considera-
tion and report on the following day.
~ PROGRESS OF THE FIFTH DAY.
Messrs. Gilpatrick and Campbell were re-
fused seats in the convention. This was
not done inso many words, but the inves-
tigation was postponed indefinitely, which
amounts to the same as a refusal. The
question: of adjournment was then agitated.
1t soon became evident that majority of
the delegates favored an immediate adjourn
ment for a considerable period of time, no
date prior to the first Monday in October
being mentioned. A resolution was offer
ed providing for the re-assembling Of the
convention at Leayenworth City. A long
debate ensued, eoncering the respective
merits of Locompton and Leavenworth.-
Itwas finally decided that the convention
should reassemble at Lecompton on the
third Monday in October next. After this
had beed decided, the convention adjourn

only objected to by few delegates who

The real objects of the adjournment may
be briefly stated as follows: 1t is the In
