have adopted the following resolution:
ResolUrd, That no person not regularly
appointed Delegate has right TO cast the vote
of the State of Florida in this Convention.
JOHN MILTON,
Chairman Delegation.
The Arkansas delegates after rccaptula-
ton of the circumstances and causes which im-
pei them to withdraw, conclude as follows:
We declare, therefore, that we believe our
mission to this Convention at an end
lst. Because the numerical majority have
usurpcd the prerogativcs of the States in setting
aside the Platform made by tho States, and
have thus unsettled the basis of this Convcn-
ton, and thereby permanently disorganized its
Constitution. Its DEGREES, therefore, become
null and void.
2. Because we were positively instructed by
the Democracy Of Arkansas to insist on the
recognition of the equal rights of the South in
common Territories, and protection in those
rights by the Federal Government prior to any
nomination of candidate, and as this Cowcn-
ton has refused to recognize the principle re-
quired by the State of Arkansas, in ilcr popular
Convention first, and twice subsequently re-
asserted by Arkansas, together with all her
Southern sisters in the report OF a Platform to
this Convention, and as we cannot serve two
masters, we are determined first to serve the
Lord our God, we cannot ballot for any candi-
date whatever.
3d. In retiring we deny to any person or
persons any right whatever to cast hereafter,
in this Convention, either our vote or the vote
Of Arkansas in any propositions which may or
can possibly come up for consideration. The
Delegates of Arkansas cannot take any part in
placing sound candidate on an unsonnd Plat,
form, because it would disgrace any sound
Southern man who would consent to stand on
such Platform and as Squatter Sovereignty
Platform has been adopted, we believe good
faith and honor requires that the Chief Of
Squatter Sovereignty should be placed on it,
we wish no part or lot in such misfortune, nor
do we believe Siat we can safel y linger under
the shade Of the upas tree this day planted

Heat AND CoLD AS DIsINFEcTANTs
At the National Sanitary Con,
yention. ia Boston. DR.. Harris read
a paper on "beat rs a disiDfecsans.'
1t appeared that the boiling Of
clothes exposed to infection had
proved an efficient disinfectsnt.-
The Leatiug Of hospital wards by
common stoves to one hundred and
sixty degrees Fahrenheit, for two
days, had eradicated infection. Dr.,
Harris referred to bis own expert
enoe in Quarantine Hospital, and
showed that the washerwomen
avoided infection by boiling the
clothes before washing. When this
was not done every washerwoman
caught the disease. Heat applied
TO clothing and rooms bad produced
the same effects in scarlet fever and
other diseases. His observation had
shown that nearly all fabrics would
bear q higher degree Of beat than
was required for complete disinfec-
ton.

The METROPeLrTANP PRESS IN THE PROVINCES
We lately received a communication from an
old subscriber at Salem, Massachusetts,, in
which he states that there is no longer any oc-
casion to send his HERALD by mail, Is he re-
ceives it by the hands of carrier every even
ing. The rapid extension of railway facilities,
and the pre-eminence of the metropolitan
journals, have wrought this marked change in
the manner Of newspaper delivery. The New
York journal is now delivered as regularly fifty,
hundred, two hundred, or Eve hundred miles
from the metropolis as in any of its wards or
districts, and before great while the system
of expressing newspapers will do away altoge-
Their with the old mail system. The change is
good one for all parties. The subscriber
gets his paper by quick train, which beats
the mail all the way from one to twenty-four
hours, according to the distance, and holds the
agent responsible for its delivery. The Post
Once is freed from the weight of newspaper
matter in its mail bags, and the Postmaster Is
relieved from any terrible responsibility which
might rest upon him for the delivery Of incen-
diary publications. Finally, the power Of the
metropolitan Journalist is increased hundred
fold, as the rural districts are brought en- rap
port to the metropolis adopting our manners,
habits of thought and ideas. We welcome,
therefore, the new system, and will, to the best
of our ability, assist in its thorough organiza-
ton.
