The Platform Of the philadelphia Con
NenIiom.

We publish to-day the platform OF princi
Piles adopted by the Philadelphia Convention
The Southern people have felt deep inter.
est in the proceedings Of this body, and some
apprehensions were felt that the Northern
delegates who would constitute the majority
might adopt resolutions that would be hui
initiating to those who were ardent support
ers Of the South during the late revolution.
The convention was composed ofmen Of ey-
cry shade ofpoliticalopinion of those whohad
followed the stars and stripes for four years
of bloody war, as well as those who had up
held the battle flag of the SoutASrn Confed-
eracy, with fortitude and gallantry that
won the admiration of the world
The object Of the Convention was TO agree
upon platform that would be national, on
which the masses Of the people North and
President and drive from power the Jacobins
who are destroying the Government The
Convention was composed of the most emf
neht and patriotic men from both sections
their proceedings manifested an earnest
desire for harmony, and ON the whole will
be satisfactory to the people they represen-
ted. 1t was necessary that past prejudices
and hatred, engendered by the war, should
be laid aside, and that we should all stand
shoulder to shoulder in the great struggle
with Radicalism.
However much we may differ as to details,
the great principles laid down in the reso-
lntions are unmistakablo and are expressed
with great clearness and precision. The
restoration of the Southern States, the safe
ty ofthe country, the success of constitu-
tional liberty on this continent, depends in
the maintenanee Of these prineiples.

SINGULAR PASSIONS IN CHILD.-
There is a boy Of 10 years, whose
parents reside in the Twelfth ward of
this city, who has a propensity for
hunting rats, MOTTO destroy them, but
to secure their tails as trophies Of his
prowess in that way He is very ex-
pert and has brought in as many as
three tails a day. When he gets no
more than one, he thinks that is not
much of day for rats. He exhibits
these appendages Of the rat, dripping
with blood, with as much delight as an
Indian would display the reeking
scalps of his victims. 1t is strange
that this child can be so successful and
vet avoid being bitten by the ferocious
little creatures, which appear TO have
great attachment for their tails. He
appears TO understand their habits, and
manages to allure them into his youth
ful clutches. He selects hole in the
hoor Of a stable and places grain near
by in such a position that the rat must
come up to get it. The animal 40
sooner mounts than the boy seizes the
tail and sewers it from the body with a
single stroke of his knife. The be-
reaved rat retreats to his hiding place
squealing with pain and fright, much
TO the delight Of the cause Of the
mischief, who patiently waits for the
coming Of the next rat in turn. A rat
without tail has never yet appeared
to this young chap. All such fee to
parts unknown. Itmay be that they
are not tolerated in good rat society
after losing a member Of which rats
are supposed to be proud Those who
are quite familiar with the operations
Of this rat despoller say that be soon
clears the premises where he operates.
The tailless rats probably warn their
brothers and sisters Of the danger. and
they flee TO other places. So expert
has this little fellow become in hand
ling rats that one rarely escapes his
knife If be gets into full view, and he
has never been yet bitten. His pro
pensity and skill in this line may be
some day turned TO. a profitable &C
count-Rochester Union.

and all passed before him like the
scenes of panorama.
For hours he would pace his room,
with his hands tightly pressed upon his
breast, his head lowly bowed by his
great sorrow, sometimes he muttered
broken sentences, which scarcely had
any meaning, but occasionally he
would speak his thoughts more eX-
plicitly.
Yes, | am to blame-the thirst for
gold has made me loath my very cxis.
tence, but my promise to her, must not
be JrokgR, Oh, how madly | loved
that 'coH0a-and poor innocent Gena,
so wronged, so wronged by me, and
for what? Florence, Florence, how
much / have endured for YOU. Can il
be possible that Gena has found I'll
out.
Being at last perfectly exhausted, by
his great grief, Louis threw himself
into 4 chair, mildly gazing about the
room, almost expecting to see wit
ness to all his sorrow; that some one
might have heard the words he could
not keep silent the struggle of re-
morse was soNa - within him, that
when alone he "a himself muttering
aloud the burning Rhts which he
now felt would sooiuN lme him.
Estelle soon regp her usual
and drank 4 OF the
Joy which her illustriotS iage
gave promise to. AS the wctl &
became less distant her h.
seemed to increase. No doubt III
Of her JOY was caused by the firm con-
vict;on that that which she had so de-
sired, would now be irrecoverably con
She scarcely thought of
1ena, but when she did calm, unruf-
led pleasure seemed to enhance the
profound intoxicating delight which
'he now felt.
Estelle Pitt belonged to that class of
,eings who are never at loss TO know
low to comfort themselves whenever
hey should happen to feel regret for
heir evil conduct-she loved, adored,
nd worshiped herself she was capa.
,le Of doing the vilest wrong, to ac-
q purpose, which would tend
0 give her any pleasure, and one-half
lour afterwards persuade herself that
What she had done was duty, and a.
act.
On the day that Gena arrived in N.
ork, friendless, and a stranger to tho
of the world. her girldhoo1s
lone was the scene of gayety, and
plendor, the wedding was the most
echerche affair of the season. Estelle
vas dressed in an elegant point lace n
ODE, her bridal veil alone costing one !.
housand dollars. Her great beauty
eceived homage from all. All the
umerous friends of the family were
a attendance, and many were the con-
,ctures as to the absence of the eldest
lister, on this momentous occasion,
ut nothing satisfactory could be
earned.
The next morning Estelle started on
er tour to Europe, and Gena called
pom manager Master, and obtained
lie situation of "walking lady" in
'ayelling company, receiving the er-
apGgant salary of seven dollars per
eek.
But now the hand of Fate Is on the curtain
And gives the scene TO light"

The President, in an interview with
the New Hampshire delegation, said in
reference to the Convention and his
future policy:
We have now policy and principles
recognized and laid down by the most
intelligent able and patriotic body OF
men convened siRce the days of the
Declaration of Independence. A re
cognition of the policy would be re-
Quired ofthose who received office and
patronage from the Government
1t was a duty the administration
owed itself, that strength and power
should be given to those who maintain
the principles declared by that great
body OF national men who met this
week in convention At Philadelphia.

THE WEEKLY CLARION.
THE TELEGRAPH.

We have made arrangements that
will enable US hereafter to furnish our
readers with the latest telegraphic re-
ports from all quarters. Our facili-
ties for obtaining late dispatches are
better than at any point in the State,
where daily paper is established, and
we will use every effort to furnish the
public the latest news. The success
of tie Atlantic cable has effected a
wonderful change in the importance
and value of dispatches to all bust
ness men. The present cable may not
he permanent, but the practicability Of
connecting Europe and America by
telegraph is demonstrated, and if this
fails, other and successful lines will be
established, we can then be enabled TO
give our readers the European dis

Dccl.iou. of the High Court.

The CLARION is the only paper in
the STATE that publishes the DECISIONS
of the HIGH Court OF ERRORS AND
AprEALs. They are printed from
official copies written out in full, copied
specially by the clerk of that court for
our use, and members Of the bar may
rely on their accuracy. No abbrcvia-
tions are made, but the opinions given
in full, precisely as they are delivered
by the court. This feature in our
paper involves a very considerable
expense, which we hope our legal
friends will aid us to meet, by using
their influence, TO extend the circula-
ton of our paper. We hope during
the coming winter to double our pres
ent subscription; such patronage
would enable us to make great inn
provements in our daily and weekly
issues and give the public much lar
ger amount of reading matter.
