Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1866-08-17
Morning Edition.



the Committee evidently shortened it con-
siderably. He certainly read it well and if
wss listened to very attentively by the i'm
mense audience. The vote was instantly
taken, as in the case of the resolutions, and
declared to be unanimous.
NoDEBATE ALLOWED.
After it several delegates rose and at
tempted to be heard, but Doolittle looked at
his programme, and announced that the
names of the various committees would be
announced. The discomftted ones bowed
to the power behind the couvertion and sat
down.
THE REBEL ELEMENT ENTHUSIASTIC.
The reading Of the names of the various
permanent committees called forth fire.
quent applause. This was very marked in
the cases Of Orr aad Perry of South Ca.o-
lima, and sharkey of Mississippi, Mont
gomery Blair General Custar and Tom
Florence. The Southern men cheered
| General Custar on account of
his jumping up on a seat the first day of
the Convention, waving his hat and being
the first to cheer when the band played
Dixie.
sEORT OP TIMBER.
It was E9!iced that ths names OF Mesars.
Rice, Steele and Norton, Of Minnesota, ap-
pear upon nearly all the Committees from
hat State. as ifit was very short Of dele
gates. Mr.. Epherson represented Texas
upon nearly all the Committees.
NUNS TIE WORD.
The Committees having been aunouacea,
several delegates again attempted 70 secure
hearing, but to no purpose, D5olittle ouly
proceeding in the interest Of the ring.
LITTLE TOO PAST
John Hogan, the Copperheal Congress
man from Missouri, and member Of tie
ring, proposed, in view OF the gl3r!ous re
suits already attained by the Convention,
that it at once ADJOURN sine die He was
little fast, however, and Doolittle quietly
reminded him Of it, and proceeded
to make several announcements and to pre-
sent e letter from Gen. Dix. Il slipped his
mind, however, that it required unanimous
consent, IS in case Of the Presidents dis
patch, but il did no: slip his mind when the
ring was engineering to prevent the sceep-
tanee of Vallandigham's letter.
Next Gen. Patterson, Of Pennsylvania,
attempted to get the floor, and although he
occupied q seat directly in front Of Doc
little he found it impossible, and ct sig
niicant look from Doolittle the Sergeant at
Arms made Gen. Patterson sit down, thus
again securing harmony.
CLOSING SCENES.
A prayer was then offered by Rev. Mr..
Elliott, and the motion, to adjourn was put
and carried. Nine cheers were then given
for the general results.
A meeting Of soldiers and sailors was an
nounced for the eveaing, but of which
army was not Slated, and the crowd dis
persed.
Thus ended ore Of the most remarkable
Conventions the age. 1t has been i'm
posing in its members and most orderly in
all its proceedings. The admirable control
attained by the leaders has never been ex-
ceeded in political strategy All the ele-
ments which ever despised the North, or
hated the flag, or aided in the war upon it,
were manifestly present, and yet all agreed
that for the sake Of Obtaining power they
would cover up all that could operate
against their securing it.
The motto Of the Convention should read :
al loho are in floor Of the proposition lotil
say "Aye.' Except SO far as that consti-
tutes Convention, none has been held.
Men from all the States have come here
and seated themselves like so many parrots
before the managers of political club from
Washington to hear a set Of pepers read,
prepared beforehand, to say Aye" and
when allowed to open their lips at all, to
be perempt0rily refused to speak and go
home again as soon as the Presidents train
ers got through with them.
INVENTORY OF THE RESULTS.
There has been no debate upon the issues
OF the day, and all that the body has to
show by way OF record are the coDgratula-
tory remarks Of Dix and Doolit,le upon
taking the Chair, a dispatch from Mr. |
johnson, letter from Mr.. Vallandgham, |
the resolutions, the address and those re-
markable prayers which were offered. The |
citizens are jubiant at the adjournment, as
even the quietest among them have con
sidered the Convention a standing insult |
Great preparations are already on foot to |
show that Philaielphia appreciates true
loyalty by welcoming the assembling of the |
Southern Loyalists Convention, called for
the third of next month.
Second Dispatch.
TIE LIGHTS ARE FILED, THE GARLANDs DEAD,1C. |
The hotels at 10 o'clock look deserted, and |
the midnight and early morning trains viii |
take most of the bread and butter men
away. a few who did not wish to lose the
speeches they had prepared, but which the
plan of the Convention did not admit of |
their delivering, have been attempting to
obtain a hearing il front of the Continental /
tonight, but the crowd has continuously |
amused itself by cheering, aud asking 4
perfect torrent of the most ridiculous aud |
perplexing questions.
BANQUET TO IRE PRESS
ne A44luSl phld IFess OiuD gave very 1
elegant entertainment to the representa-
tives of the press from abroad. It took
place ct the La Pierre House, was largely
attended and passed off pleasantly.
SOCIAL MEETING.
The Illinois delegation held a social meet
ing last evening at their assembly rooms,
which is spoken Of as very pleasant affair
by the Southern delegates in attendance.
USELESS FORMALLY.
The Committee appointed to bear the res
olutions and addresses Of ahe Convention TO
the President go to Washington in she
morning. Considering that he knew ali
about them before most of the Committee
the movement seems the least bit comical.
REUNION oE BLUE JACKETS AND
GRAY.
The general officers who were il the Con
tion have it in contemplation 20 call a con-
vention Of the soldiers and sailors Of both
armies, to be held in the fall. Cincinnati is
talked of as the place Of meeting, although
the time and Placs viii DO left to the South
ern officers. If the phase Of the late coz
vention is adapted 70 the military gather
