WASHINGTON, April 25.-It has transpired
to-day that Senator Andrew johnson looks
with no unfavoIable eye to the nomination of
Judge Douglas. The Tennessee delegation at
Charleston are probably scarcely ignorant of
his views and feelings. Senator johnson has
never given any approval of the agitation of
a slave-code, saying that it could not be got,
even if there was any thing advantageous in
its adoption.
MIR. Fay, the U. S. Minister TO Switzerland,
in a recent letter to Secretary Cass, says,
speaking of his efforts on behalf of the Isra-
elites, there is continued visible movement
ofpublic opinion in the right direction, and
that in all probability the restrictions on
them will be gradually abolished. The ques-
ton has been before the General Assembly.
Count Walewski has authorized the French
Minister to take every measure he may deem
proper to promote the just demands of the
United States in the matter. The British
Minister will cooperate, his predecessor
having been instructed by Lord Clarendon to
inform the Swiss Government of the sincere
satisfaction Her Majesty's Government would
learn that the disability had been modified,
if not entirely removed.
When the steamer Roanoke shall arrive at
New York she will, in accordance with the
action to-day of the Navy Department, be
ordered to Hampton Roads, whence the ia
panese Embassy will be conveyed in a
steamer to Washington, to be formally re-
ceived by the President before visiting the
other parts of the country.

ResolUsd, That we recognize TO the fullest
extent the principle that 20 preserve the
Union the equality of the States must be
maintained and the decision of the Courts
enforced, and that every branch of the Fed
eral Government shall exercise all its consti-
tutional powers in the protection Of persons
and property both In the States and Terrific
ries. ...# l-.r r..I
An exciting scene arose on the presenting
of this resolution, and IL was finally ruled
out of order as under the platform rule,
and must be referred to that committee.
Several other resolutions were offered, and
IL was repeatedly asserted that the Commit
tee on Platform would not be able to report
at all. ..... fr.
A resolution was then offered instructiue
them to report what progress they had made
at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, pending
which the Convention adjourned until ten
A. NJ. tomorrow. The excitement is in
creasing.
The New York delegation met this morn
ing, and rejected Mr.. Bayard's proposition,
but instructed Mr.. Crosswell to vote for that
of Mr.. Stevens, which afiirms the Cincinnati
platform, and declares their purpose TO abide
by, approve and enforce all decisions Of the
Supreme Court. 4
The Pennsylvania delegation met, but took
no action on the subject.
Various States have conferred and the
Convention are now referring their delega-
tory resolutions TO the Platform Committee.
This question engrosses all present inter,
ests, and entirely overshadows that of candi-
dates, as rupture is imminent without some
satisfactory arrangement. The public inter-
est increases as the crisis approaches. The
galleries and floors of the Convention are
thronged with excited spectators of both
sexes.
A great sectional excitement is raising
here to-day. The Southern cotton States are
rampant, and threaten to leave the Conven-
ton in body, and nominate JEFF. Davis for
President, and Fernando Wood for Vice
President if the platform does not repudiate
squatter sovereignty.
Mr.. Douglas has telegraphed to his friends
to accept the Cincinnati Platform and the
Dred Scott decision, but not to go one step
beyond that.
The Committee on Platform meet again
this evening at seven o'clock, and each men,
ber of the Committee is instructed by his del
egation as to how he shall act
1t is stated that Mississippi, Texas, Lou
isiana, Florida, and Alabama, win leave the
Convention in case of flare-up, and probably
Georgia and South Carolina.
Tomorrow will be an exciting day.
Mr.. Yancy is cooked and primed to the full,
and the fre-eaters generally are in the great
est state of excitement.

crowd Of spectators were present including
a considerable sprinkling Of Roughs, who
were led on by Erastus Levy, who COM
menced a disturbance Presently Levy and
his followers made rush and unset the

licans down and tearing up their papers and
documents. The police interfered and made
several arrests. The Convention adiourned
till two o'clock. The members were greeted
on the outside by large crowd, who fol-
lowed, hooting.
Mr.. Gunnison, prominent Abolitionist,
was pursued by an immense mob, crying
Lynch him." Hang him. There goes a
man who stole nigger;" "There goes the
spirit of John Brown" &c.
Mr.. Gunnison took refuge in the Marine
Bank, and the police escorted him 10 place
Of safety. The crowd then slowly disap-
peared.
The Convention had been in session some
time before it was disturbed. The commit

front of the Hall. The Police Commissioners
were on hand to preserve order, but the Con-
vention did not assemble.
The owner of the house refused TO permit
it to be longer used for the purpose. The
Republicans held private conference, and
decided to hold convention elsewhere.
1t is presumed to be now progressing, but
where is not known.

DISCOVERY OF THE TUsK OF MAsToDoN
The laborers engaged in excavating the old
Ruffner lot on Third-street, between Elm and
Plum, yesterday morning, discovered the
of sand, about fifty feet from the street and
twenty feet below the surface of the earth.
The tusk is not entire, but it measures eight
feet six inches in length, one foot seven and
half inches in circumference at the largest
end, and weighs one hundred and half
pounds. Mr.. ]. H. Greene examined it very
minutely and found the enamelquite perfect.
He also discovered that the outward part
would effervesce slightly under the action of
sulphuric acid, and that it contained ninety
eight per cent. of lime and one per cent. of
water. When exposed to the fire it calcined
and laminated, and being placed in the blaze
eliminated light blue flame. The fossil is
now in the possession of the contractor, Mr..
Owen Ahern, at his residence, No. 81 Ninth
street.

A CHALLENGE TO CINCINNATI ARCHITECTS.
At the regular diurnal meeting of the Me-
chanics' and Manufacturers Exchange yes
terday morning, President Runyan an
nounced that be had received circular ad-
dressed to architects, inviting them to fur
nish plans, elevations, working drawings, and
specifications for new Masonic Temple, to
be erected in Richmond, Virginia. For the
adopted plan they will pay $500, and offer for
the next best $l0O, and for the third $50.
The following is description of what is
required for the Temple: The building will
be l39 feet front on Main-street, and 100 feet
on Ninth-street, with projecting wing on
rear corner of 20 feet for Superintendent s
dwelling to be FIVE stories high above Main
street. The principal story is to be 10 feet
high in the clear, and divided into six rooms
for stores, and room on Ninth-street for a
restaurant. ..r.r .F...-rr
The second floor is to be arranged l1s feet
by 10 feet, including stage, green-rooms, &C.,
and with gallery. On this story there are
10 be Offices for the Grand Secretary and
Treasurer, l6 feet by l8 feet also reception
room, or refreshment-room, % feet by 81 feet,
the story to be 25 feet high.
The third floor is TO be twenty feet high in
clear, and to contain Grand Lodge sixty
feet by ninety feet, and two committee rooms
and a subordinate, lodge, forty feet by sixty
rooms, thirty feet by one hundred and TWEEN
ty feet. t
The fourth -four is to be sixteen feet high
in the clear, and to be divided into grand
chapter room, forty feet by sixty feet, with
ante-rooms, and an armory and four commit
tee rooms, twenty by forty feet each. The
material will be either stock brick, with stone
corners, brick and mortar stucco, or iron.
For ourself we do not doubt the ability Of
some of our architects to furnish the success
full plan; and hope they may undertake 1t and
give substantial evidence that in this respect,
as In many others, the Metropolis of the West
is far in advance Of her Eastern sisters.
