LYesterday's Evening Dispatches !


P1TTsBURG, Sept. 27.-The proceedings of the
convention yesterday were animated. Several
amusing songs, ridiculing the President were lis
tened to with favor 8
Resolutions were passed hostile to the President
Gen. Butler made a Characteristic speech, and
Gen. Which denounced the Cleveland convention
as made up from the straggers of the army.
A dispatch was received from Gen. Fremont,
which elected three cheers for him.
Butler was the lion of the convention.
Among the resolutions presented by Colonel
Streight was one asking Congress to direct the
President to remove from the late rebel States all
the arms and munitions of war not needed for the
present use there, which was adopted with one
voteSin ihe negatve-the first and only one of the
character cast IN the convention, and which ere
ated a sensation.
The resolutions also indorse the constitutional
amendment and assert thatits propositions are the
mildest terms ever granted to subdued rebels
that the President has orghtto policy as against
the Legislative department of the government;
that his acts have converted the conquered rebels
into impudent claimants to rights which they have
| forfeited and places they desecrated; that the
| right of the conqueror to legslate for the con-
quered is the public law of all civilized nations.
| Gen. Butler in his remarks, said as soon as these
communities have shown desire to be received in
an humble thankfulness for the cemency meted
out to them--becauseFt is for men who have erred
| to be humble-Then they acknowledge their mis-
take they should be received, but not until then.
| Mr.. Davis is, perhaps, by no means the worst
man in the Southern Confederacy, but he chose
to have the place of representative in man. He
| played for an empire, and staked his life on the
| result, and let him pay the forfeit (appause) as
| an example for all time that no man shall plot
treason in the halls of Congress of the United
States. (Appause.) Gen. Lee left the army of the
| United States and Went into Virginia and was at
the head Of the rebel forces of Virginia before his
State seeded, and carried her out at the point of
the bayonet. Now we have had an Arnold, and
he escaped punishment but he did not remain
here. We have, as it seems to be, an equally
fCh
country is whether his surrender as a prisoner OF
war when he was captured, shall avail him against
the desertion of his flag to take service in the
armies of the enemies of his country. (Cries of
therefore, again say that would make an ex-
ample of this man, so that soldier hereafter
should be found to desert the flag of his country.
| Good, and cheers.) Now then, fellow-sol
what shall be done with the soldier who deserts
his flag and takes with him the secrets of his com
mander? (Cries of chang him.'') Shooting is
| not good for him who deserts for the purpose Of
taking command in the armies of the enemies oi
