Monetary Affairs.

By Telegraph NEw YoRK, May Is.
The Poa says considerable surprise has been
expressed this morning at the report which is said
to be supported by indabitable evidence that Gov
eminent has been selling gold to-day. The effect
has been to check activity and depress the price of
Government securities. The foreign houses which
have sold 5-29s short with the view to import
them, have, by this unexpected policy of the
Treasury, been probably aided in their movement.
It il reported Government has sold no gold below
100, but the influence of the sale has been to de-
press the price to 1924.

1875 DELEGATES PRESENT.
COPPERHEADS RULED OUT.
THREE DISTRICTS UNREPRE-
sdf SENTED. 1siv
FROM iND1ANAPOLTs.

INDIANAPoLIs, July 19.-The John
son National Union Convention in
this city to-day, was very thinly at
tended, the number of actual dele
gates not exceeding one hundred and
twenty-five. Three Congressional
Districts were not represented, and
none of the, speakers invited from
abroad were present. Only those who
supported lincoln and johnson in
1854, and who now support Johnson s
restoration policy were allowed to par
ticipate. Gen. Sol. Meredith presided.
Delegates to the Philadelphia Con-
vention were appointed, and a series
of resolutions adopted.
The first expresses ardent attach
ment to the Union of the States un-
der the Constitution, denies the right
of secession, holds all attempts to Sc
eede null and void, declares all the
States now States of this Union as
before the rebellion, and denies the
power of the General, Government to
exclude State from the Union, or to
govern it as Territory. ai nafl
Second, confidence in President
johnson undiminished, approves the
general policy of his administration
indorses his restoration policy as
wise, patriotic and constitutional, ia
harmonywith theloyal sentiments and
purpose of the peoplelin the suppress
sion of the rebellion,o with the plat
form on which he was elected, and
with the declared policy of the late
President b0aIU aE 3 -5tEA2a-F
Third, Under the Constitution, the
right to prescribe the qualifications OF
electors is reserved to the States, and
it would be subversive of the princi-
piles of our Government for Congress
to force universal suffrage on any part
of the country, in opposition to the
wishes of the citizens thereof. 1855
Fourth, All States are entitled by
the Constitution to representation
and all loyal Members, duly elected
are entitled to seats, and should be
admitted to Congress without un
necessary delay, each House judgins
as to the qualification of Members.
Fifth, The payment of the nationa
debt is sacred obligation never to b,
repudiated, and no debt whatever, in
CURED in aid of treason and rebellion
shall ever be paid.
Sixth, The nation owes a lastin
debt of gratitude to the soldiers ant
sailors, and the families of the fallel
heroes should be cared for by tn
Government and itindorses the Pres
ident's determination to give Office
to the soldiers. ri if9a

The Minister of Police at Berlin

They regard thescession of Venetia as

that Italy viii not lend herself for

Venetia with view to It's subsequent
cession to Italy would be a violation
of national rights and submission to a
