New YORK, August 17.-In my last letter remark
ed, in referring to the Philadelphia Convention,
that whilst hoped that the most salutary results
would accrue, still entertained fears to the con-
trary. My hopes are now in the ascendency, and
my fears are dispelled.8 judge, By the effect pro-
duced here what will be the general effect through
out the country, and that tells me that all will be
well; that good-fellowship is to be reestablished;
that the Union is really to be restoredin sub
stance, not in shadow; and that the Radicals who
have always been radically wrong, will soon be
radically used up and emphaticaly euchred.
When the evening papers came out here on the
afternoon of the first day of the Convention, it
was "better than play" to note the expressions
of countenance and the remarks Of the hoi pouot,
as each one, in glancing over the proceedings,
perused the paragraph giving an account how the
lion and the lamb sat down-or rather walked in
together; how Massachusetts and South Carolina,
or South Carolina and Massachusetts,, came arm
and arm into the wigwam-fguratively speaking,
smoking the pipe of peace.
Every man wore smiling countenance, and
such commentaries as "bully for them BOTH

abundant evidence OF the fact that the good seeds
which have been so skilltully sown have already
taken deep root in the hearts OF Northern as we'll
as Southern men, and that great tree will soon
| spring up whose branches shall spread out and
overshadow all Of the past that 1t were well should
be forgotten.
AS this Philadelphia Convention has been q
brilliant SUCCESS so will the other, which is to be
held on the Sd proximo, prove to be miserable
failure. Ireier to the JACK HAMILTON Southern,
Radical, and Ethiopian suffrage concern. mass
meeting Of the supporters Of this movement was
held here at the Cooper Institute on Wednesday
night, and was q horrible flash in the pan.
HORACE GREELEY made a speech in which he
called the particular attention Of his hearers to
the fact that they ought to sympathize with their
brethren who had been butohered in New Orleans
THE Rev. T. W CONWAY literally praised the New
Orleans negroes up to the skies, by remarking
that their praises should be written in the sky in
golden letters. DR.. NEWMAN, q white man, held
forth in the same strain, and was followed by Mr..
Garnet, black man. OF course hat was handed
round and some few Of the audience gave faint
expression to the sympathy in greenbaok point
of view. DIR. RANDOLPH mot JOHN RANDoLpH)
then indulged in some complimentary remarks
about President JOHNSON, whom he accused of he
longing to the canine species; and then some one,
fearing that the hat would go round once moro,
moved an adjournment. In the very appropriate
and expressive though inelegant language OF the
Herald the whole affair was ssdecidetl fzzlc."
BERNARD FRIERY, the murderer of HARRY LAzA-
RUS, the prize.fghter will be executed today,
unless he be reprieved by the Governor. Sport
ing men have actually been heartess enough to
make wagers for and against the reprieve.
Mrs. ELEANOR T. BISHOP, the plaintiff in the
BISHOP divorce case, has brought an action
against her husband and CLARA B. WALLACE,
charging them with appropriating to their own
use some jewelry of hers worth $4,000. The vile
swore that the husband had stolen the jewelry,
while he swore that the entire charge was a fabri-
cation. The Judge decided in favor of the de-
fendant, but this does not prove his innocence.

ness, why should he hesitate about stealing her
trinkets also?
The great LORD bond robbery case has again
been brought up on the tapis. 1t will bo remem-
bered that on the 7th Of last April Mr.. LORD was
robbed Of an Immense amount OF bonds that
man named ENNIS was arrested that s20O,000
was recovered, and that the thief afterwards made
his escape. Yesterday ten other parties were
arrested-in fact the ten to whom was assigned
the most important part of the programme (and
who performed their parts well)-tho abstracting
the money from the safe. They have been locked
up in durance uile, in default Of 5000 bail.
The city cars aud stages, from their uncomfort-
ably overcrowded condition, have grown to he q
downright nuisance, wherefore it has been sug-
gested that it would be expedient, as well as
profitable, to institute system of cab arrange
ments similar to that which succeeds &C we'll in
London and Paris. The suggestion will no doubt
soon be adopted. It is to be hoped that it may be-
