upon them, though as at present advised,
I certainly prefer my own. 1hope l shall
not need to add that I have no desire to
hold any official position in the National
Convention of the Union party, or OF any
other, against the wish of its members ;
but I deem it my duty, especially as this
is not merely q matter Of personal feeling,
to insist upon regularity Of action as the
only mode by which that wish can be as
certained.
Michigan Union Politics.
DETROIT, August So.-The Union State
Convention to-day nominated Gov. Grape
for reelection, and adopted resolutions
declaring that the work of reconstruction
belongs to Congress; that it is the duty
of the Government to protect the South
ern Union men against rebel neighbors;
that the spirit Of the rebellion crushed, a
wal Is revived OF the ballot box, and that
a necessity now exists that loyal men shall
bind themselves together to resist it.
The ninth resolution reads:
THAT we scout and scorn, as unworthy
Of freemen, that political blasphemy which
says this is a white mans Government.
1t is not a white mans Government, nor
q black mans Government; it is Gods
Government, made for man, and all men
who are loyal, whatever race, color or
condition, shall have under Its triumphant
and glorious flag all those inalienable
rights which pertain to man as man.
Delegates were appointed to the Phila.
delphia Unionist Convention, including
Gov. Grape, Senators Howard and Chan
dler, Austin Blair, Church, E. B. Ward.
"~lnjun" Stories Exaggerated.
WASHINGTON, August 30.-A dispatch
received to-day at General Grants head
quarters from Lieut. Gen. Sherman, dated
Fort Laramie, says the reports of Indian
troubles on the Plains were greatly exag-
gerated. The telegraph wires have not
been injured, no party that has been or
ganized has sustained q loss, no small
bands of Indians are roaming about steal
ing, as reported, and no difficulty is ap-
pretended.
New Jersey Legislature TO be SPEC
CHILLY Convened.
CHICAGO, August 30.-Gov. Ward, OF
New Jersey, has privately declared his in
tention to convene the New Jersey Legis-
lature for the election of Senators and for
the ratification Of Constitutional amend
ments, and Scovill, the hitherto boiling
Senator, publishes a letter, pledging himself
to do his duty as q member of the Repub-
lican party, and Indignantly denying that
his former course was intended or should
be taken as seyering him from the Union
party.
Arrival OF the California Steamer.
New YORK, August 3l.-The steamer
Arizona, with California dates to August
10th, arrived to-day.
The Market.
The Commercials money article says the
stock market is dull, singularly so consid-
ering the large speculative interest outside.
There is no disposition to buy or sell.
The chief activity Is in 5-20's of '66,
which are dealt in largely on speculative
account. The whole Government list is
subject to active speculation. Purchases
for shipment and investment are for the
moment checked by high quotations.
Twenty millions of the temporary loan
have been redeemed al the Treasury, and
the balance is being rapidly liquidated'
Gold is weak and easier. The announce
ment of further shipment of coin from
England is making the bulls cautious, and
there is an apparent disposition on the
part Of holders to unload.
The P%rcsidcnt's speech.
CHICAGO, August 3l.-A special cor.
respondent of the Republican, who is with
the Presidential party, says the Presi'
dents speech at the Delmonico banquet
was very skillful; referring now to Gen
Grant on his left, and then to Admira
Farragut on his right.
This was followed by Mayor Hoffman,
who proposed the health of the two Off
GERS, as supporters of the President. This
placed them in a position which was moi
to be easily reiterated from, and there is
little doubt entertained but that Gen.
Grant will be so worked upon as to make
q speech fully defining his position ; which
will no doubt be the one occupied by the
President. Certainly thus far the trip has
been managed with great skill, and unles,
something unforeseen occurs it will add
much strength to the new party. The
President made a somewhat more lengthy
speech than he intended, but it was diff
cult for him to stop when he once began.
