Captain Dupont was prominent in this
part of the ceremony.
The Cabinet officers were prescntad IN
the following order: Messrs. Cobb. FIovd
Ioucey, Thompson, Holt, and Black, and
their relative official positions briefly ex
planned.
Lieutenant General Scott was next in
troduced, and they warmly greeted him,
evidently delighted with his fine, command
ing appearance, and in view of his public
position
General Cass asked for Vice President
breckenridge, to introduce him, but he was
absent.
Speaker Pennington, as Speaker of the
House, was then introduced to the distin-
guished visitors.
The japanese again repeated their pro-
found bows in finally retiring, and the i'm
pressive scene closed.
Mr. Cass privately said, referring to
their ample trowsers, that they would look
better with hoops.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and the
Japanese returned to their hotel in the
same order that they went to the Presi-
dents house, evidently delighted with the
imposing proceedings
Among the army officers pres
ent were Lieutenant General Scott, Gener-
ais Totten, Jesup, Churchill, and johnson ::
Colonels Roberts, Thomas, Cook, Craige,
Childs, and Taylor, and Major Ramsey
And of the navy, Captains Smith, Shu-
brick, Buchanan, Tatnall; and colonel
Harris, of the marine corps. They were
IN full dress, and made splendid appear
ance.
A French naval officer was also in the
distinguished throng.
In addition to other gentlemen holding
high public positions, were Minister Pres
ton and Assistant Secretary of State APP
pleton.
The letter accrediting the japanese
Commissioners to the Government of the
United States was unrolled from large
and magnificent scarlet satin envelope
When the Embassy first retired from
the East Room, it was for the purpose of
bringing with them the imperial or princi-
pal Ambassador, who, according to their
etiquette, could not be present at the de-
livery of the letter accreditiDg them.
The demeanor of the japanese was ex-
ceedingly grave and solemn. Their ap-
pearance contrasted strangely, but impres-
aively, with that Of the deeply interested
spectators During the entire ceremony,
whenever the eyes Of a japanese official
were raised from the ground, they were di-
rected to the President, and to his counte-
nance only. So rigidly was this practice
observed, that it seemed that no one of the
japanese could have seen the countenan-
ces of those surrounding them, excepting
those Of fhe few distinguished gentlemen
to whom they were introduced.
Some of the Japanese, during the after
noon, took an airing in carriages.

POLITICAL MIS-
CHARLESTON RUMORS.

From the Special Despatch Of the NeO York Tribune
CHARLESTON, May 1.-The whole movement YES
terday astonished the knowing ones. Late on
Sunday night Mr.. Slidell and his managers gave
assurances through Mr.. Cochrane to the New York
delegation, that if the programme of adopting the
Cincinnati Platform, voting down the other resolu-
tions of the minority, and then proceeding to a
nomination was carried out, all would be well and
the Convention saved. But MIR. Slidell and his
managers, who had mainly produced the original
discord, could not control the elements. They
promised Alabama to go with her if she seeded,
but labored to prevent the secession, and with
what effect has been The Southern delega-
tions were also assured on Sunday night upon a
count of noses, that the Douglas vote would never
exceed l4S, including New York, unless they
adopted him. Henceit was urged that they should
remain in the Convention as the means of control
ling the nomination. They knew, too, that New
York ready to take MIR. Guthrie at the proper
moment, and majority of the Pennsylvania dele
CATION had signifed the inclination. The
figures considered too close for safety by the
Southern leaders, and they refused to change 'front.'
as the Northern wing willing to do, after both
had agreed to make the platform first. The South
ern movement is somewhat impaired by the sup
posed leadership of Mr.. 1ancey, who has always
been considered an extremist. He an Mr. Rhett
exulted over the work in the Convention yesterday
triumph of their peculiar doctrines.
From Special De&pdtch Of ReW York Herd1dl
CHARLESTON, May L, lS6O.-The friends of Doug
las propose to submit the following resolution to
the Convention after his nomination. Ii will be
seen that, if it has any meaning at all, there is
complete caving in.
ResOred, That all the citizens of the United States
have equal right to settle with their property in the
Territories of the United States and that under and by
the direction of the Supreme Court of United States
neither their rights of person property be de
stroyed or impaired by Congressional Territorial
legislation
The friends of Douglas have thus abandoned
their whole principles. This has been unanimous
ly adopted in caucus by the New York delegation
and submitted to the Tennessee, Kentucky, Vir
ginia and North Carolina delegations. They
agreed to accept it, provided that nomination be
made unless the candidate have notice. To thi
the New York delegation would not agree and it
programme is to induce the remaining Sontherr
delegations not to go out but to act with them re
peal the two third rule, and nominate candidat,
by a majority.
