DENTAL CoSvEsTIoN.--In the Dental Con
vention in Boston, Gen. Butler delivered an
address by special invitation. A resolution
of thanks was adopted, expressing, "a wish
that he had been in New Orleans to snbdue
the riot.
DR.. Kellips, Of St. Louis, moved recon-
s:deration.
A spirited debate f.llswed, the Southern
delegates warmly ohjecting to the resolution,
on the ground that it introduced politics,
which was foreign to the purposes OF the as.
sociaiion.
DR.. Clark Of Savannah, attempted tospeak,
but was at first Missed down. He, afterwards
succeeded iu explaining his position, claiming
TO be Union man and an adrairer of loyalty,
but ohjec'ed to mingling politics with science.
The. Northern men. hers insisted on the
resolution, dennuncing those who objectedt to
it. The motion 10 reconsider was lost.
A lesson to Southern men!

The J.ANE MunDER.-We learn from the
Columbia papers that Newberry negro was
on Wednesday hroughtfrom Petersburg, WIRE
he was captured under the following circum-
stances. Disappearing shortly after the mur.
der of Mr.. Lane, the first announcement of
his whereabouts came from himself in let
ter written TO his mother and enclosing
picture. The letter was dated at Petersburg,
stated that he was about to be married, and.
desired his mother to come on, for which pur.
pose be wnuli if he dared send her some
money. With this information, the officers,
ACCOMPANIED by young Lane. had no difficult
~ in cffecting the arrest. He is q precious
looking scoupdrel, dressed in fine array, aud
acknow edges completely in the crime. He
may be regarded as the ringeader, Several
other regroes have been arrested in and+
around Newberry, who likewise acknowledge
they were present on the nightof the murder;
but they all state that John Counts, killed
by Mr.. Starting of this city, was the man who

Speech Of Governor Perry, of South
Carolina.
PNninELrIIIA, August II. 1856.

pHlLinELrIIIA, August ri. 1866.
This evening another meeting took place at
he National Guards Hall, the second of q
series to take place under the auspices of the
johnson Clymer Club during tn session Of
the National Convention, and to be addressed
By the leading delegates in attendance.
Governor Perry, of South Carolina, was
introduced and said he had come from South
Carolina in the spirit Of General Grant who
'hsd said that there was nothing better than
for the psoplc of the North and South to
intermingle With each other that prejudices
would be swept away and the great republic
would be united into one great pecple-a
power among the nations Of the. earth. Though
he had come from South Carolina, he would
say thst. he bad always been Union man.
He believed in the doctrine of WasEinScc'!s
Farewell. Address, that our net!on she I'D ever
remain one in government, spirit and love.
South Carolina he'd accepted in good faith
the results Of the late contest. She had con-
tended for,the principles of secession-a right
in WHICH be never believed h,mselC-and he
had. almost stood alone among his neghbors,
the frieud and advocate of the Old Union.
The State of South Carolina had honestly
believed in secession, but her sons had now
fully accepted the situation and as he had
told President johnson last summer, when
appointed Provisional Governor, South Caro-

This reqiest secured quiet until the speaker
arrived at the following paragraph:

Thus the candidates of that party In the

In Pennsylvania, Gen. Hartranft, Auditor
General, Colonel Jacob M. Campbell, Sur.
veyor General, and Gen. John W. Geary,
Governor.
All those save the last-and his case needs

regularly by the Union Republican party,
supported by its members, and triumphantly
elected by It's votes, though opposed in every
case by the Democratic party. We call

A SUIcIDE.-A terrible suicide was COM
mitted in Washington on Thursday morning
last few minutes before eight O'Clock, bya
man named Samuel Hanson, at the board
ing-house of Mrs. Smith, corner of -Four.
and-a-half street and Pennsylvania avenue.
About the time above mentioned the occu-
pants of the house were startled by the
report of a fire-arm, which they believed to
have proceeded from an upper room of the
house. On opening the door Of one of the
upper rooms it was discovered that Mr.. Han
son had placed the muzzle of a large navy
revolver behind his right car, discharged the
weapon, and thus instantly launched his
spirit into eternity. The weapon was found
on the bed where he was a corpse. Coroner
Woodward was telegraphed for, appeared
during the forenoon, summoned jury, and
held an inquest over the remains From
the evidence given before the jury we learn
that the deceased had been stopping at Mrs
Smiths house about six weeks, and that Il
was frequently noticed that he was in a de-
pressed state of spirits, which, he stated,
was because of his being unable to obtain
employment, together with the fact that his
brother was given to strong drink, and ne
elected to aid in the support of his mother,
who is now on a visit to some friends near
Marlborough, Maryland. The deceased was
born and reared in the Fifth Ward, but
when the rebellion began he left the city and
took position in the Rebel post-ofice de-
partment.
Within few days past deceased has stated
to the servants of the house that he would
soon leave them, but they supposed that he
meant that he was about to take up his resi-
dence elsewhere in the city. Toone of them
he expressed desire to borrow pistol for
short season. The witnesses generally
conceded that they believed the mind of Mr..
Hanson was diseased, and that his acts and
conversation were very singular. There
was found in his room a piece of manuscript
in the handwriting of the deceased, in which
he stated that circumstances over which he
had no control had reduced him from COM
paratively easy circumstances to almost alb,
solute want. The verdict of the jury was
that deceased came to his death by shooting
himself with pistol while laboring under
temporary insanity caused by family difficult
ties. The remains have been turned over to
the charge Of his late friends After the jury
retired DR.. Dove removed the ball from the
left side of the head, it having lodged but
short distance under the skim Washington
ChrOnicle Of Friday.

a CHARACTER.

John Vassar, colored man, whose name
is familiar TO hundreds of the Union and
rebel soldiers for his bravery and unfiinching
opposition to the rebellion, is still laboring
in Virginia. His brother has established a
seminary for the education of colored chill
dren at Poughkeepsie, New York, and John
is doing his work OH u larger theatre, and
with greater energy. His whole object is
the improvement and enlightenment of his
race. Day and night he tolls in this noble
evangelism. Curious stories are told of his
industry. If passing along the road he sees
number of people engaged at work in the
woods, he dismounts from his horse, and
Immediately strings along the trees the al
phabet, cut in block letters, and improvises a
rustic school. During the war he habitually
rushed into the hottest of the fire for the
purpose of carrying away the bodies of the
dead and wounded soldiers, and when taken
prisoner by the rebels, his first act was Ia
throw himself on his knees and to Offer
prayers in their behalf. Recently, when in.
formed that the night gatherings of the
blacks were creating uneasiness among theil
late owners and oppressors, he answered by
stating that as his followers had to labor al
day, they had no other season for improving
/ themselves save in the hours before going tC
bed; and again, when asked whether these
conventions did not look like an insurrec
tion, his answer was promptly given, mo
it is not an insurrection we are engaged in
IL is a great moral and political resurrection
