EQuALrzArroN OF nouNrrEs.

The contest in Congress over the bill
to equalize the bounties, was prolonged
from the beginning to the end of the
session. The House passed the bill;
the Senate defeated it; the House in
sisted upon its passage; the Senate per-
sisted in its opposition; finally, on the
last day of the session, committee Of
conference of the two houses agreed to
hitch the bill to the Civil ApprOpria-
ton list and to tack it to the tail of the
proposition to increase the pay Of
Members and Senators to $1,000. This
plan pulled the bounty bill through by
a majority of one in the House, the
vote standing yeas 81, nays 80. The
Democrats voted for the bill, as they
had always done before, and had it not
been for their almost unanimous sup
port, it would have been lost. More
Republicans voted against than for
it. Among those voting against it,
are Messrs. Lawrence, Koontz and
Wilson, Of this 4State. We have not
seen the bill, as it passed, but it is re-
ported that the amount of bounty orig
inally proposed was considerably re-
duced. The vote upon the bill was as

cans in Roman:

THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.

The National Union Convention which
will meeti in Philadelphia, on the 18th
inst, promises to be true representa-
tion of the people Of the entire Repub-
lie. 1t will be the firstcOnvention r0m-
posed of representatives from all the
States, that has assembled since the
meeting of the Democratic National
Convention in 1860. In this respect, as
well as in that Of diversity in political
opinion, it will be truly national.
Whilst the Republican" party will
be largely represented in its councils,
Democrats from every section of the
country will sit by their side; whilst
the "war men" of the North will take
partinits deliberations, the Stephenses,
Johns0ns and other prominent South
ern men will Join hands with them in
furthering the long-hoped-for restora-
ton of the Union. 1t is meet that such
WILDE thecase. Weremen ofone politi-
cal party alone to assembleinsuch con-
vention. no good could possibly result,
as there could be no opportunity Of
harmonizing diverse interests in be-
haIfof a common cause. Wes sare will
ling to regard any man as a political
brother, who will work with Us for the
attainment of the grand purpose for
which all patriots should strive, The
maintenance, l9555r2Eea, Of the Union Of
the ,S2ates. Hence, we are glad that in
this National Union Convention, men
Of various and widely different polite
al antecedents, will meet and exchange
opinions. The result of the delibera-
tions of such an assemblage, will prove
like that of the Constitutional Conven-
tions Of the fathers, who, though divi-
ded on great public questions, 50 har-
monized their conflicting views, as to
erect a government under whose sway
the march Of empire has been unlim-
tied, and which, except during its tenn
porary perversion by corrupt and am
bilious men, proved the unfailing safe
guard of popular liberty for nearly a
century.

JACK EIAMILTON's CONVENTION.

We have already noticed a call fol-
a sol djSna Southern Radical COnVen.
ton, to offset the National Union Con
ventiOn, Of men Of all parties, from all
sections Of the Union. The New York
NerS thus gives the lives and history
of some of the signers to Jack Hamil-
tons call:
"Three of them profess to be citizens
Of Texas. NUtone ofthem Is resident
Ofthatstate. Governor Hamilton left
it some time ago, declaring that he new
er expected to reside there again, and
he is now in Washington. George W.
Paschali, whose suspected treason to
the COnfcderaCy was magnanlmOuslF :
overlooked by its government during
all the war, Is now living in Washing
ton and practicing law there. Lorenzo
Sherwood resides in the city of Brook
lyn, and has laW-office in this city.
These are the Texans.
Two GeOrgianS sign the call G. w.
Ashburn and Henry {. Cole. Neither
Of them is known 10 hundred men
outside of his county. They are both
Northern men by birth and education.
One Ofthem isa correspondent of BOs-
ton paper, and as such isthe malignant
slandererO of the epeopie among whom he
lives.
Eight sign as citizens of virginsa.
Except Underwood, whose infamy has
made him notorious, these men are all
utterly insignificant and unknown. One
of them, Lewis Mckenzie, is Il rather
respectable person. Another, the Rev.
j. W. Hunnicutt is a crack Drained, ad-
dlepated sort Of a fellow, whom every
one laughs at, South Carolinian by
birth. Theremaining 3iXareall natives
of the North.
The signers from Alabama are with
the exception of Mr.. George Reese, so
obscure and unknown, that We venture
tOsay that they haveneveT been heard OF
ten miles from their homes. We are
somewhat surprised that Mr.. Re- Sc APP
pended his name to the call, if, indeed,
it was placed there by his authority.
The f0ur MissourianS who sign the pa
per are a part of the scum that was
thrown 10 the surface of the filthy po-
Ii ticaI pool of that State by the terrible
agitati0ns of the war. If there is a
man in all the land who can tell us any
thing about the two North Carolin-
ianS whose names grace the call, we
Shall be obliged to him for the infor-
nation.
These are the men who have called
a Convention Of the Loyal UniOniStS

Gen. Francis p. Blair, Jr., has
brought a suit for damages against the
Missouri DemOcrdt, a Republican e.
per, published at st. Louis, for charg
ing that he appropriated china and sill
yer ware TO his own, use whilst with
the Federal army in South Carolina.
He has also instituted suit against JAS.

publishing letter charging him with
cotton stealing whilst in the army.
One hundred thousand dollars DANA

When Portland was burned by the
British in I775, an infant but few
weeks old was removed frOma house on
Fore street, and taken out of town for
SAFETY. The house was burned down.
During the econtlagration on the Fourth,
that same infant was removed from
house erected on the spot where stood
the one burned by MOWatt, from which
ninety years ago, she had been reH0N-
ed, and she was once more taken to
place of safety. 1t was the venerable
Miss Hannah ThOro.
The great Fires which have taken
place in every direction since the be-
ginning Of the present year must have
surprised every one. Thus far they have
far exceeded in the amount of loss every
previous year. The reported losses for
1866 amount to sic, ,000, 200, while those
of the entireyear 1865 were S43. 3 ltt0.
Many Of the most destructivefiresh have
been the acts of incendiaries. Crimes

agency of the devil.
