Scarcely hsd the adjournment bsen ef-
feetel when violent rain-storm cams up,
and the unfinished roof being very leaky,
a sudden baptism came down upon the
great unwasbed. The scene presented was
a curious one. The crowd, afraid to face
the outside storm, remained for some time,
grouped where the roof was the best and
the floor the dryest, discussing the days
events. But at last the crowds melted
away, and the delegates came down town
through the drizzle to the headquarters at
the Continental.

YIOLKNCE.


You viii remember that the Philadelphia
Age and other papers of the COpperhead
stripe endeavored to kick up an enormous
disturbance over tAe announcement that
the rebels Of the Convention were to be
mobbed in retaliation for the mobbing of
loyal men by rebels in New Orleans. I
need not tell you tha. this is all bosh. No
body feass o. exPs:;s the least violence in
the world. Eoboiy talks about it, nobody
thinks OF 1t, mob ,dy dreams Of it Vallsn-
digham goes where he pleases, with none
to molSst or make Afr.id. Dick Taylor and
Mosby might walk arm-in-arm down Chest
nut street, il they liked, with no greater in
convenience than the stares and outcries of
the street Ara51. The talk of violence is a
transparent attempt to gain symps thy un-
der false pretenees.
