SOLDIERS CONVENTION IN NEW YORK.
NEW York. Sept. THE United Service
Society met last night, when il was resolved TO
issue call to the ex-oficsrs and men of the
National army aud navy, who served during the
late rebellion, residing in the State of New York,
to elect delegates to the State Convention, to be
held on the 18th of October, at Albany. Some
measures we're adopted in reference to the or
ganizaton of Clubs in each Assembly District
and in regard to the mass meeting to be held at
the Cooper Institute. in support of the Monroe
doctrine.
THE ALABAMA rERDoSs.
The Times Washington special says: We
mentioned some days ago that Gov Parsons, of
Alabama, had telegrapbed the President to with
hold action and not 10 grant pardons apon any
applications recommended by the Executive of
that State. until the Governor should again be
heard from. Gov. Parsons has not been heard
from since the receipt of the above named dis
patch.
In the meantime, large number Of pardon
seekers have arrived here from Alabama, and
are anxionsly waiting some further action which
will enable the President consistently to deter
mine their applications. We learn that the cause
of the suspension suggested by Gov. Parson. is
founded in the practice adopted by one OF bis
clerks of receiving from important applicants fer
pardon fee OF ten dollars or for hurrying up
the papers TO enable them TO be forwarded to
Washington.
So many such representations of this practice
were made TO Gov Parsons as led him 10 fear
that some corruption had been practiced to OBJ
tain his recommendation; but it is alleged that
the clerk only received fee for working after the
usual off hours, and that, therefore his extra
ten dollar tees were legitimate pay for honest
labor rtt.V
cEoLERA EAvAGEs
The same special says: United States Consul
at Port Mahon, Spain, informs the State Depart
ment under date of August l4tb. OF the
rival at that quarantine of the Turkish steamer
which left Alexandria with 800 pilgrims. The
steamer he says, comes with $50 passengers,
aud reports having left on the way 500 Twenty
deaths occurred from cholera on the passage
The Captain. on his arrival at Port Aahon, re-
ported all veil; bat on examination Of the
steamer, dead bodies were found on board
in a sad state of decomposition. The Captains
statements are discredited. and the 500 not &C
counted for NAV have died with the same disease
The Conssf s.ys Accounts received AZ that
station concur in the opinion that the cholera is
making is way Westward. Thus far the cholera
has followed the pilgrims who, he says, are
packed like saSdnes on shipboard; their religion
does not allow them, when passing Mecca. to
stop TO sleep on bed, to wash or to eat any
thing warm: they are covered with 9Th and YER
min, and IRE spreading disease all over the Med
iterranesn countries. -f s-1e -
