the Presidency promised to give Scovill any

not this form an explanation of the strange

MOKE GOOD NEWS FROM THE PRRsI-
DEyT-IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE.

The following statement we have reason
to believe, is perfectly reliable:
President johnson has written a letter
to friend, at one of the interior towns of
West Tennessee, in which he declares that
he is only waiting for Texas to do as the
other Southern States have done-abolsh
slavery, declare secession null and void, etc.,
in order to issue his proclamation declar-
ing general amnesty, and that the lately
rebellious States, having complied with all
the requirements of the Government have
resumed all the relations to completely re-
stored Union, and are entitled to aequal
rights" with all the other States. In a
word, this proclamation is 10 be all that the
most ardent lovers of peace and Union could
desire--all that had been so long promised
and expected. 1t is to end the war officially
restore the Habeas Corpus everywhere,
and admit the Southern members to Con-
gress, subject only to the Constituto nal
right of that body to examine into and de-
eide upon the credentials and qualifications
of each individual member. In the letter
referred to, the President reiterates his deter
mination to take no step backward in the
course of policy he has marked out, and de-
clares his fixed unslterable resolve to restore
the Constitution and the Union, and to carry
out to their legitimate consequences and
conclusions the positions he has assumed.
He intends firmly TO see that all the States
have that representation in Congress to
which the Constitution entities them, and to
recognize a majority Of the Representatives
Of all the States as the Congress"

Cou1cAL SCENE IN CHURCH.-A few
Sundaysago, in one ofour prominent Broad
| street churches, the closencSs OF the at
mosphere produced an almost irresistible
feeling of drowsincss among many OF the
congregation. Of the number who found
it impossible to deny the drowsy god was
one of our most successful business men,
whose honest efforts to throw off the SOM
niic influence he was under were witnessed
bv several lookcrs-on. At last he Sue
cumbcd; his eyes went shut, and failed to
come open again, and his head began to
nod to this and that ncighbor quite faml-
liarly. Presently the slcepcr's head slowly
bent towards its owners wife, and con-
tinucd to sag, sag, sag, in that direction,
until q delicate sprig on my lady's hat
pointed directly into the ear of the snooZ-
ing husband. One more lurch of the head
on "that line would cause the tapering
sprig to enter and peculiarly affect the SEN
sitivc portion of that delicate organ and
several persons in the gallery were
giving breathless attention to the scene,
fully anticipating an extraordinary denoue-
| meat when the connection between the
garland the sprig should be effected. AT
last it came, the heavy head made another
sag wifcward a full inch, the sprig passed
into the ear as nicely as if it had been
pointed by roguish hands, and penetrating
TO the inner and most sensitive portion,
ticklcd the nodding gentleman SO intensely
that he drew up his head with a jerk, and
striking out with his right hand before he
was fairly awake, dealt his wife a blow full
upon her new bonnet, to the utter discom-
future OF its flowers and ribbons, and to
the infinite amusement of the lookcrs-on
in the gallery. But who can describe the
look of ineiiable ShccpishncSS that settled
upon the face of the late sleeper when he
became fully conscious Of the ridiculous
ness of his position. Wife looked savage
in evident inward contemplation of the
damaged bonnet, and both were seen has
tcning home after service by way Of a
back street. We wouldn't have had the
"Caudle" our hero received when he
reached there for all the reputation won

The New Registry Law In Maryland
GoverBor swsnn Appointing Rebels
to once.
BALTIMORE, August l2.-The appoint
ment in Maryland by Governor Swami of
anti-rcgistcrs TO register the legal voters Of
that State, and especially in Allegheny
and Carroll counties, where DISTINGUISHED
persons have been selected to perform
these duties, leaves many grave doubts
whether the Union men will triumph in
the coming contest. The law provides
that these officers shall be chosen from
among those most known for loyalty and
as numbers in each district are reported
enrolled who are known to be DISTINGUISHED
citizens, results similar to those of the
Kentucky election are anticipated. Go
vernon Swami, who was elected to his
office by the unconditional loyal Union
men, has deserted their cause, and goes to
the Philadelphia Convention on Tuesday
in the interest of Montgomery Blair.

SPEECH OF GENERAL DIX.
Senator Dooliule to be Permanent President.
Mr.. vallandigham Declines, by letter, to
20 into Convention.
ADJOURNMENT TILL WEDNESDAY.

PHILADELPHIA, August 14.-The Con-
vention assembled in the wigwam at 1890
P. n. Mr.. Randall opened the Conven-
ton, saying: "Gentlemen, l have to an
nounce that the delegates from South Ca
rolina and Massachusetts, will now come
arm in arm into this Convention" This
announcement was greeted with great ap-
plause by the entire audience. At this
moment Major General Couch, Of Massa-
chusetts, and Governor Orr, of South Car
DINA, at the head of the delegations,
marched in arm in arm, banners flying and
music playing. Shout after shout, spOnta-
neous and general, rent the air, and tears
filed the eyes of delegates and spectators.
General John 4. Dix was nominated as
temporary chairman. In accepting the
position he said 81 regard this as a Con-
vention of no ordinary character-not only
on account of the high, social, and politi-
cal standing of the gentlemen who COM
pose the Convention, but because it is a
Convention Of the people of all the States
of the Union, (applause) and because we
cannot doubt, if its proceedings are con-
Quoted with harmony and good judgment,
that it will lead to most important results.
1t may be truly said that nc body of men
have met on this continent under circum-
stances so momcntous and so important
since the year l7S7-(applause)-the year
when our ancestors assembled in this city
to form a better government for the States
which composed the old confederation-a
Government which has been confirmed
and made more enduring, as we trust, by
the fearful trials which it has encountered
and overcome. (%Applause.) '@s
The States have yet no representatives
in the Legislature of this country, and 1t
is this wrong we have CONF here to pro-
test against, and as much as in our power
to redress. When the President Of the
United States declared that the war had
ceased, all the States had 4 right of repre-.
sentation. The exaction of new condi-
tions was subversivc Of our national liberty,
and dangerous to the public peace. thong
applausc.l Is this the Government OF
fathers fought to establish, or which we
had fought to maintain? He trusted that
in the deliberations of the Convention the
main idea would be to change the present
complexion of Congress, to purify the Re-
public and bring it back to its original
staudard-one country, one flag, one union
of equal States. lApplausc.l
After the appointment of committees on
credentials, resolutions, and organization,
the Convention adjourned until tomorrow
at noon.
Senator Doolittlc has been nominated in
the Committee of Organization as perma.
ncnt chairman. Vallandigham sent a letter
to the Ohio delegation declining to 60 into
the Convention. 1t will be read before
that body tomorrow.

business of the Convention will be con-
fined to the enunciation of principles with
