for his load Of colored freight, who
were at a ball in Bridgeport, Con-, was
requested to walk inside. The coach
man did 50, but found the air so heavily
laden with perfume that he was about
TO retire, when he was suddenly infor-

he would leave the room, as he smelt
so of the stable.

The PHILADELPHIA CoNvRNTIoN.-1t
has been denounced as "Copperhead,"
"Rebel" "Treasonable' etc. Looking over
the partial lists Of delegates which have
been transmitted by telegraph, we find
among them such names as the following:
John Quincy Adams. son Of Charles
Francis Adams. our present Minister to
the Court Of St. James, Judge Benjamin
R. Curtis, Of the United States District
Court of Massachusetts, Gen. John A.
Dix. General Martindale, Sanford E.
Church, General g. A. Gustav, Gen. A. S.
Williams, Gen. C. o. Loomis. General A.
A. Stevens, Geo. Ashmun, Robert c.
Winthrop, Gen. D. N. Couch, Senator
James Dixon, Gen. John A. McClernand,
Senator J. R. Doolittle and others.
Such names, We think, ought to secure
for the movement at least a respectful
hearing. 1t is not possible that men who
have taken such q conspicuous, and in
some instance, heroic part in the struggle
for the preservation Of the Union, would
be found, only a year after the close Of
the war, lending c%ountenance to q move.
ment in any way calculated to weaken
or destroy it. Whether the Convention
will prove a success or not, is something,
however, which time alone can determine.
We can indulge in n prophecy in rela-
ton. to it without much hazard. II it
should turn out to be a Copperhead con-
Germ with q new name it will be q wretch
ed failure, and we do not venture much
when we assert that there is not a gentle
man whose name is printed above who
would not, the moment that fact becomes
apparent, leave it in hot haste, and indig-
nantly disown all connection with it,

The MINERAL LAND BILL.-Although
this bill, much to our surprise and regret,
has been hurried through both Houses of
Congress, we have not yet heard, and
trust we shall not hear Of its approval by
the President. From our latest advices it
is evident that the passage Of this bill was
promoted by false telegrams and other
despicable means. The amendment tackled
on by Senator Stewart is particularly OBJ
noxious to the miners Of Colorado, Neva-
do, and elsewhere in the West, because it
debars every one of them from owning q
claim, unless they have expended in actual
labor and improvements thereon, ian
amount not less than one thousand dol
lars" If that is not unequal legislation
we know not what is. Why, il would
crush out all the hopes Of the poorer class
Of miners-the very men who are the
pioneers and discoveries Of the hidden
wealth of our country. But not this
alone; the idea of the entire bill
is founded in bad craftsmanship and
If it become a law will prove the most un-
popular ever passed.. Our W views on
the subject Of mine legislation were given
some months since in q letter to the House
Committee on Mines and Mining. We
believe that these views are to q consider
able extent those of the mining commu-
nifty, and hence the plea Of Ignorance can
not be made in mitigation Of the sentence
that will be passed by the mining States
upon their Congressman who voted in ia
yor of the passage O! this bill. We are

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The Republi-
can caucus met at half past seven O'CLOCK
last evening. All the Republican mem
hers Sgere present. . Some Of the Senators
were absent because the House gentlemen
had failed to give them formal invitations.
General Banks was called to the Chair.
and in a brief speech stated the object OF
the meeting to be either to fix a day OF
adjournment or determine upon taking q
recess. Mr.. Ashley, Of Ohio, was the
Hrst to take the floor. He said 1t was
best to take q recess. The Senate might
remain in Executive session, adjourning
from day to day, SO as to prevent the
Wholesale slaughter Of Union o~tice-hoid'
ers, threatened by the President. Mr..
Conness did not think 1t fair to ask the
Senate to stay in Washington to bear the
burden and heat Of the day, while the
members of the House went home to en-
ioy themselves. Thad Stevens quietly
suggested that the California Senators
might stay here and do duty anyhow:
They drew a large amount Of mileage, and
never went home except when their con-
stituents sent for them. Messrs. Conness
and Williams, Of the Pacific slope, began
20 show surface indications Of wrath,
which was only quelled by a change OF
the subject, accomplished by Mr.. -, OF
Wisconsin. who offered the following reso-
luton g.,
Re,olued, That each member is bound
by the caucus proceedings, and gives a
pledge not to divulge anything transpiring
here tonight.
Messrs. Hale and Bingham opposed the
first clause Of the above. Deliberations
on this subject were interrupted by q
member who jumped up and announced
that as there was an audience present he
could not see the necessity of ~enjoining
secrecy on members. He would like to
know who admitted outsiders. Several
members-"There is O man in the gallery"
Tbad Steyens-"Damn him, bring him
down here. and let US see him ; may be be
is a special agent to inspect the workings
Of the Freedmen's Bureau" The mystery
was finally solved by u sergeant-at-Armsy
who rushed violently into the gallery and
seized by the collar q gentleman. who, or
investigation, proved to be Of African
descent. He was closely questioned as e
how he got in. lie replied that he go
in by the door that he found it open, ant
wanting to see Congress he walked in
Several gentlemen bounced upon him tt

caucu to which he replied that he though

In Sweden railroad conductors are re-
quired to be tolerable surgeons, and every
Swedish train must be accompanied by
an ambulance. The law in that country
cares for the traveller. Here, on the other
hand-although our percentage Of casu-
alties is heavier than in any part of
Europs-passengers on the cars are en-
tirely dependant, in case of accident, upon
the humanity Of the neighboring commu-
mites.
