The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-08-13

will be fully completed on Tuesday, and
the Convention will be able to proceed ilu-
mcdiatcly to business. 1t will be h clargeSt
structure ever constructed for political
purposes.
Excellent accommodations for delegates,
as well as spectators, and seats III front OF
the speakers stand for one hundred and
thirty journalists, have been prepared.
The Press Club of this city have ten
dcred the use of their rooms tocorreSpond-
cntS arriving from abroad.
Ample provisions have been made Tor
telcgraphic communication for journalists
direct from the wigwam.
Among the arrivals are Hon. Rcvcrdy
Johnson, Montgomery Blair, Edgar Cowan,
John Z. Stockton, John IL. Comcgys OF
Delaware, John Hogan, and Fernando
Wood.
Distinguished delegates from New York,
Massachusetts,, and Ohio, have been tclc-
graphcd to, and are expected TO arrive to-
morrow for consultation.
Washington has been captured tonight
by an immense crowd OF reconstructed
delegates from the South to the philadcl-
phia Convention. They represent al.
classes Of society, from general officers TO
rcSurrccted politicians. The halls of VIII
lard's and the Metropolitan are filed with
dilapidatcd baggage, and the drinking aa-
looms remind one Of the last days oil
Congress.
Some curiosity is manifested in regard
TO the policy OF the delegations to the
Philadelphia Convention from the States OF
Maryland and Missouri, which, ii is argued,
must be IA unit, both delegations being
conservative in character, and representing
constituencies identical ~ border States,
both hurdcucd with IL radical registry la"'
and a DISTINGUISHING clause in their conSti-
tuition, and both enjoying the luxury OF a
member OF the Blair family in their poll
tics. Tie ancient autagonism between the
BlAirs and Seward is expected 10 manifest
itself in pitting these delegations against
that from New York.
Governor Ewing not being available FOR
the presidency of the Convention, he hay
ing declined being a delegate because Of
bis health, it is minated that General
Dix will he made temporary chairman and
Judge Curtis the permanent presiding oil
ticcr. This plan may be modified by civ
Ing General Dix the temporary and per
mancut chair as well.
Senator Hendricks, who has Just re-
turned from Indiana, reports Il strong feel
ing III that State against Eallandiyhum,
and attributes the paucity OF members in
the convention of that State to the gene
raj apprehension that Naliaadigiam,
Wood, and that class OF people would lave
control of the Philadelphia Convention.
Owing to the general expression OF di>con-
tent at the probable admission Of such
men, il Gems a forcgoHc conclusion that Il
rule will be adopted excluding them. As
| minated in Il former dispatch, this rule
will be presented by the southern dele
cluSion Of some OF their own mcmhcrS.-

Postmaster. General Randall paid II brict
visit 10 Fort Plain, Montgomery county,
last week. Mr.. Randall, in conversation
with some friends last Friday, said dis
tinctly that loyalty was 10 hc In" test
Of admission of delegates 10 the Philadrl-
phia Convention. He declared that Prcsi-
dent Johnson did not intend TO affiliate
with such Coppcrhcads AZ Eallaudigham
and Fernando Wood, and expressed Il hope
that none but loyal Union men would 30
TO the Convention, and control It's councils
and action. Nr. Randall said the Prcsi-
dent was anxious that the Convention
should prove "a success, but not at the cX-
pense OF loyalty. All this is confirmed by
a private letter received by us from Il re-
liable source in Washington. The letter
says that General Dix will probably be
made president OF the Convention, and
that under no circumstances will "Cup-
pcrhcads" be permitted to have a con
trolling voice in its coun~cilS.-7} Wig,

The trains from the South continue to
bring large numbers of the reconstructed
rebels. who are on their way as delegates TO
the Philadelphia Johnson Convention.
Not one leaves the city without paying his
respects to President johnson, and they are
becoming 50 numerous at the White House
that the Copperhcad oilicc-scckcrs who
hang around the lobby and ante-roolns
have no chance To see his Accidcncy. The
southern delegates to the Convention
have the preference, and are always add
mittcd trst.-F6rney.
