A Mass Prayer.Mceting.
The chief feature yesterday was the
mass prayer.meeting of delegates held last
evening. Senator Harris led the meeting.
In his opening remarks he SAID they had
assembled from various parts of the u
try to attend q convention, the results Of
which might affect essentially, if not vi
tally, the welfare Of this distracted coun-
try. 1t was, therefore, appropriate that
on the evening of the Christian Sabbath
they should meet together and commend
that country to God, who had signally
favored the country in the trials through
which it had passed, and plead with God
that, as the country was now entering on
unexpected trials. it would not be deserted
BY Him. He closed by announcing that
prayer would be offered by Rev. DR.. New
man, VI LOulolauas oeuolOk LaneI Aieut-
Governor Bross, Rev. Thos. w. Conway,
General Eaton, Horace Maynard, Judge
Potter, OF Tennessee, and others, followed
in exhortation and prayer.

publican Committee had arrived at Phila-
delphia, yesterday, and six more are ex-
pected tomorrow.

pointed B. r. Cowen a member of the

ing the $4,000 election funds now in

New Hampshire Senator.
CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Governor Smythe,
Of New Hampshire, has appointed George
G. Fogg United States Senator, vice Mr..

Washington Deserted.
Washington, during the past five years,
has never worn so deserted an appearance
as now. The hotels are empty ; all kinds
Of business, including that Of decapitation,
is dull for the moment, and there is conse-
quently a dearth Of news.
The Presidential Trip.
BUFFALO, September 3.-The President
was waited on at Niagara Falls by a COM
mittee headed by ex-President Willard Fill
more, and arrived here at 10 A. NJ. The
procession moved through the principal
streets to Niagara Square, where ex-Pres-
ident Fillmore formally welcomed Presi-
dent Johnson, who replied that he had
confidence in the great mass of the people
to preserve the Constitution and Union,
and denied that he had changed from his
former patriotic position and committed
treason. The South had submitted to the
arbitrament Of arms and now want to DO
in full fellowship with the Government.
They admitted their error and had done
what was required Of them. He had it
not in his heart to deny them place in the
Union. The South cannot get along
without the North, nor the North with
out the South. He was willing to pardon
all who had done wrong, for il the rule Of
condemnation was followed out there
| would be but few survivors.
Cheers were given for the President,
Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragut.
The President and several Of the party
then left for the house Of Mayor Wells
and partook Of a lunch. Afterwards the
procession reformed and went to the Lake
Shore Railroad depot, where the Presi-
dental party took the cars for Cleveland,
at l P. NJ, and will arrive in Cleveland
about 9 P. N.
There has been but little excitement
here-the princip al curiosity being to see
Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragut, who
were frequently cheered.
