The Sentinel denies that Gov Worth and
his friends are engaged in effort to dis
solve the Convention Could impudence or
falsehood 60 further than this 1t is notori-
Gus that Gov Worth's friends have been ac-
tive in this movement, and it could be proved
that Gov. Worth himself has been personally
engaged in it. We repeat, Gov. Worth and
his friends fear the action of loyal Conven-
ton like the present. The objection which
they make to it, that it will add to the ex-
penses of the State, and that it will increase
the excitement in the public mind, is purely
selfish. If it were secession, disloyal body,
they would be glad to have it in session for
months, and we should not hear a word
about expense or excitement.

We have no room for comment to-day on
Gov. Worth's message to the Convention. 1t
is certainly an extraordinary document to
proceed from a loyal Executive.

Since the above was written, the Conven-
Grissom, has laid these resolutions on the ia
BILE. We announce this result with much
qualification. With the exception of few
good Union men, the negative vote was
composed of the Worth faction. Let us
hope, for the sake of the country, that these
twenty-four OR twenty-five embrace the full
strength of that faction in the Convention.
The Convention has made noble begin
ming. Let it go on as it has begun, and it
will deserve and receive the thanks and
blessings of every sincere friend of the Union

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.

The Presidents position is absolutely ia
Ken, we'll defined and universally understood
1t IS this, namely: That so far and so fast as
the unreprescnted States present themselves
In loyal attitude by representatives un-
questionably loyal, they are entitled to rep
resentation in Congress, equally with all 9th
er States, and just as well as if there had
been no rebellion. The representatives of
the National Union party in Congress donot
agree with the President, but 1 think they
differ only in regard to non-essentials.

TaE REL1a1ous ORDERS IN PARIS

work entitled "Scenes in French Monas-
teries," by Algernon Taylor, just published in
London, contains the follOWlng:-
'Ihe writer has taken pains to ascertain the
statistics of the religious orders comprised
within the limits of modern Paris The results
may be summed up in few words. OF bro
therhOods there are fifteen communities, and of
sisterhoods forty-seven, making a total of sixty
two conventual establishments, large and small
Full tfty-hve Of the number are actively en-
gaged In external duties, consisting for the most
part of tuition nursing the sick. The houses
of men include a Dominican priory, a convent
of Capuchin friars, another of Passlonists, four
houses of Jesuits, and several belonging to
Oratorans, Lazarists Sulpicians, and other less
well-known congregations. The torty-seven
| sisterhoods are divided among thirty distinct
orders, some, of them therefore, possessing
several establishments. Thus the straightlY
cloistered Carmellte nuns have as many as
three converts, the Augustnians two the nuns
OF the Visitation also two, the Little Sisters of
the Poor four; besides whom the DOmnl-
canesses, Franciscans, nuns of the Sacre Ceur,
| and many others, have one house apiece.
''Some Paris streets appear to be particularly
| favored by religious fraternlties. The Rue de
| VaugiraId, for example, seems half made up OF
] converts. 1t accommodates Domnicans, Je-
! suits, nuns of the Visitation, nuns of our Lady
! of LorettO, and two communities of Sisters of
! the Christian Schools The Rue du Sevres
contains houses ofJesuits and Lazarsts, and no
| less than four nunneres. The Rue de Picpus,
! the Rue du Bac, and the Rue d'EnfeT can lay
claim to nearly, ii not quite, as many conventual
! institutions as the streets just named. 1t has
been said that religion among the Parisians
! houTishes in an inverse ratio TO the number of
! their monastlc establishments. What truth
there may be in the cynical half of this propo
sition, am unable to say; but of the prosperous
condition of the religious orders in the French
capital, there can be no question.
/ prominent new buildings are constantly
cropping up in different quarters of the town,
looking like a cross between a private house
and barrack. Too spacious for the one, they
are barely big enough for the latter, though
be. On inquiry, you learn that the great square
pile of masonry before you has been lately
! erected for the nuns of the Sacre Ceur or Ur-
sulines, OF the contempative Carmelites. So
rapid indeed, is the development of the monas-
tic system in Paris at the present moment, that
the figures here given would probably require,
to ensure rigid accuracy, the addition of several
fresh communities since these statistics were
compiled"

Absurd-TWO specimens of the WeQingOaia
gigQnte0 we're planted by the Prince and Prin-
cess Of Wales at Norwich, England, three weeks
ago. Some ultra loyal members of the Gro vd
had brought knives, with which, as soon as the
Prince and Princess had taken their departure,
they fell upon the trees. A large number OF
commemorative sprigs had been cut of, wnen
the police, with desperate efforts, succeeded in
saving the sapiings from further mutilatiou.
They are now guarded day and night, and this
surveillance is TO be continued until thew have
been surrounded by strong fence.
