The affairs Of the City, that have not been ex.

in pursuance Of call Of ''thc Committee,
messing of the Reform party was held at
Stewards Hull. G. G. Van Reyper, Secreta,
~. called the meeting to order, when ID the
absence Of the President g. S. Miner, Will

utes Of the last meeting were read, after which

consider vote taken at the last meeting, on the
nomination of certain C4nlidates who had
~ . published irl, decline said n nomination..
MIR. Westoott sail that when these names were
selected, it hal been because the gentlemen
named were fully competent, and epJoyed the
confidence OF the people, for honesty an III,

these gentlemen. that no one had in any way
over beer, authorized to sign their names to

All kinds of trickery had been resorted TO hy
fhair opponents, who had now come out m
Ger the title Of Anti Reformers. " Articles
Of the most scurrillous character, daily appear
cd against gentlemen opposed to this Anti
Reform party, and when he saw this trickcry
and scurrillity, it was a lair presumption
ti,at the publication OF the names OF many,
which had appeared, having withdrawn from
the Reform ticket, might prove only ruse Of
thei, opponents and chat the gentlemen
named did not desire to decline. He knew
that they would have no objection TO receive
tho votes Of the r. formers AMI all others
shat they could get and he therefore hoped
that the names would be continued on the
Ticket and voted for by the party.
VI. Palmer was LII laVol W an ctlie Aec

TIE motion to reconsider, was put, and de-
decided BY the Chair to he carried, though it
was ouite evident that the meeting did not IN

The Convention was temporarily organ
lied by the selection of Ex-Gov. B1GLER,
of Pennsylvania, as temporary President.
Gov. HoRAr1o SEYMOUR, of New York,
was elected permanent President, and on
taking the chair, delivered telling speech
on the condition to which the country has
been brought by the misrule Of the pre-
sent administration. The delegations from
the States respectively selected one oftheir
number as member of the Committee on
the platform, which we regret to say, did
not come to hand, owing to the non-re-
ception of evening dispatches. 1t was
adopted, however, and the names of Gen.
MoC1E1LAN, Ex-Gov. SEYMOUR of Con-
necticut, and Ex-President PIERCE were
presented as candidates. 1t was reported
that Gen. MCCLELLAN was nominated this

Installation.

The installation of the new Archbishop,
MoCLosKEY, took place at St. Patrick
Cathedral, New York, few days since,
and was attended with great splendor and
magnifcence. The ceremonies were under
the direction of the Rev. FRANCIS MCMIR-
NEY, and consisted of a procession of boys,
priests, bishops, archbishop under a BEAU
tiful canopy, and bearers Of the various
insignia of his high Office down the south
aisle, and on re-entering the cathedral by
the main door Te Deum was performed
by the choir, specially strengthened for
the occasion, and under the leadership OF
Prof. II. SCHMIDT, Prof. GUsTAvUs SCHMIDT
presiding at the organ. The archbishop,
being seated on bis throne, received the
homage of the clergy, after which mass
was celebrated by the Right Rev. Bishop
T1MoN, of Buffalo, assisted by priest, dea-
con and subdeacon, and the archbishop
preached bis inaugural sermon. Notwith-
standing heavy rain, the cathedral was
crowded in every part long before the hour
for the commencement, by a respectable
audience, which evinced its interest in the
proceedings by close attention during the
four hours which they lasted.

The Modern Achilles.

"Why," asks ISAAC N. ARNOLD, of Chi
cago, in letter to the New York Times,
shave so many Achilles retired to their
tents ?"
The Achilles here alluded to are HoR-
ACE GREELEY, HENRY j. RAYMOND, HENRY
WILSON, CHARLES SUMNER, BENZ. WADE,
S. P. CHASE, 81. W. BEEoRER, HAML1N,
GRIMES, WINTER DAVIS, BRYANT, JOHN
SHERMAN, and TRUMBUIL. We were not
aware until enlightened by Mr.. ARNOLD
that our country was blessed with such a
host of warlike Grecians. That this con-
stellation of Achilles haze retired to their
tents admits of no dispute. They did SO
before the war began, and they have tax
en- precious good care to keep the vulner-
able spots in their heels out of the reach OF
the enemy's sharpshooters.
Why they "retired to their Tents is a
question involved in some obscurity, but
perhaps light will be thrown upon the SUBJ
ject by GREELEY's late history of Greece.
Perhaps they preferred to ''snutf the bat
tie from qfar," and to take "birds eye
view " of the ''pomp, pride and circum-
stance of glorious war;"

Important Notice Concerning Enlist
ments.

The circular of Col. AvERILI, elsewhere
printed, is Of great Importance to towns
that have not filed their quotas, and in
fact, to all the towns in the State, as well
as recruiting officers. Under former calls,
voluntary enlistments and bounties were
suspended for some time before the draft.
Now, while the draft is inevitable and will
be executed as soon as the preparations
can be made, recruiting can 60 on, and
bounties will be paid, up to the day on
which it takes place.
We are authorized to state that about
three-fourths of the quota OF the State
has already been filled by volunteers.
Towns on which the assignment bore very
heavily. have come up nobly and filed
their quotas, and with the same patriotic
efforts it is believed every town can be
exempted from the draft. The time being
extended, every effort should be made to
accomplish this object.

The President and the Draft.

The President stands firm against every
solicitation to postpone the draft. To the
alarmists who are concerned lest the draft can
not be enforced without resistance and insur-
rection, his replyis that if it has come to this,
the quicker the Government proves its power
to maintain its laws the better"
So says the New York Daily Times,
speaking for the President. 1t is only in
districts where complaint is made against
the glazing and manifest injustice of the
assessment under the Enrolment Acts,
that alarmists as the Times is pleased to
call them are to be found. If the Presi-
dert proposes to "prove the power" Of
the Government in forcing an unjust as
sessment upon an unwilling people, bis
firmness may prove his ruin. 1t cannot
be too distinctly understood that the
course being pursued by the President in
regard to the enforcement Of the draft in
certain districts,.is one directly designed
to provoke collision between the Gov
eminent and the people. In the event Of
such an issue, the responsibility must be
placed where it belongs, on the shoulders
of the President. If blood flows at the
North, the people will now understand the
cause of it. If martial law succeeds to
popular commotion, they will understand
the reason for that ALSO The conspiracy
against free ballot may succeed but if it
fails, it will be because the people have
resolved upon their alternative-''a free
ballot. Or free fight"

Change in the ARMY.

The great revolution of sentiment in
the North against the policy of the Ad-
ministration in the conduct of the war.
has at length extended to the army. and
promises the most fruitful results. We
print below an extract of private letter
from a Captain in one of our Minnesota
regiments now with Gen. SMITHS expedi-
ton, who, until now has always been a
Republican, and warm supporter of the
Administration. The Captain says:
l begin to think l am Copperhead. /
am thoroughly disguised with the manner in
which this war is being carried on. do not
believe that it will ever be ended so long as
ABE LINCOLN is President, and / shall vote
against him this fall sure. or not vote at all
You may think this strange, but it is the same
with large portion Of the army, and ON

beginning to see it in the same light we do
There is no question that this change
of sentiment is progressing as rapidly as at
home.
Last year the soldiers who had been
long in the field were led to believe.
through the efforts of lying newspapers
and political Generals, that many of their
best friends at home had become "cop.
perheads or rebel symphthizers. But
the veterans since then have had an %.
portunity of coming home, and oflearnine

in the Chicago Tribune Of Wednes3a

That the political feeling of the army is ez
