Z door and stopped speaking, all locke,
/ toward the door, then sure enough the
came looking little sheepish and headed
by tall Gov. Orr and short Major Genera
: Couch. Of course all the arrangements fol
cheering had been perfected, and the shout
lug was after the most approved style o
: the forced enthusiasm. Those who applau.
I ded laughed in their sleeves. At this most
apparent juncture the band played " Dixie
at which all hands seemed to go wild. Gen.
Curtis, of the Union cavalry fame rendering
himself very conspicuous by being the first
to jump upon bench and swing his hat
and cheer. The "Star Spangled Banner
was family cheered. The Battle cry of
Freedom" was not half played through be-
fore cheer greeted John Hogan. A Mis-
sourian then called for three cheers for the
So States, and three were given for Andy
johnson, three for the Union, and three for
the red, white and blue. But as these col
ors were so arranged to suit both flags the
cheering was quite general. Mr. Randall
then, at half,past twelve called the body to
order, and proposed Mr.. Dix for temporary
chairman, and he was declared elected.
His speech was in great part a re-
production of Andrew Johnson on the
| excluded States and Representation.
When he closed all rose and fairly bawled.
| Agriculture, the sciences and the mechani-
cal arts received fair share of attention.
After reading OF the call Mr.. Doolittle
presented several resolutions regarding
business, the principal one being gag to
cut off debate by Immediately referring all
resolutions and petitions concerning ere
dentials to the proper Committees without
arose and invited all the Democrats as such
ado.
At The close of the reading Of Mr. Doc
Titles resolution, Mr. Vallandigham rose
and suggested that the Blair-Randall-
Campbell circular, inviting Democrats, as
such, to participate, be read.
This caused a sensation and Doc
title men looked blank. Apparent
anxious to oblige him, the Secretary be-
gan to read what Browning had handed
him, when Florence, to sharp to be caught
By chat, mildly suggested that the National
Democratic call was not what he asked. and
when the reading was over, the Major not
being able to find copy of that unfortu-
nate document, Florence produced a copy
of it from his pocket and cody handed it |
up. There being no further excuse 1t was
read. At the close of this little episode. the |
remaining committee were announced. |
when Randall handed a note 1ver to Mont |
gomery Blair, asking him to move an ad- |
journment, as a great storm was coming |
up, but whether this referred |
to the movement os Florence, or to |
the rain, was not clear, though in a few
moments the whele interior of the building
was flooded by heavy shower. All seemed |
to breathe freer when the adjournment /
came and no row had occurred. There was
throughout great effort to appear euthusi-
astie, but back of it there was very great
restraint.
The absence of Vallandigham was a great
relief to the late nion men. He announced
his determination to withdraw about ten
o'clock, after having been labored with the
whole night by all who were supposed to
have any influence over him. Wood and
Dean were bought off. It has not yet trans

The amount of officiating which is going
on may be judged from the fact that the
IOWA delegation congratulated General
Rousseau warmly upon his brutal assault
upon Mr.. Grinnell, telling him that they
cherished the greatest respect for him, and
that it would afford them, individually and
collectively, great pleasure to welcome him
to Iowa.
By compromise between the Union and
rebel flags for decoration of the Wigwam,
and such contemplate cringing upon the
part of Northern doughfaees, the Southern
m ay be excused for believing
lhat the good old Demoractic times are fast

THIRD DISPATCH.
There is perfect jubilee tonight among
the JohnsOnites over the absence of Storms
in the Convention to-day. Having bought
off the chief cOpperheads and Aattened reb-
els with their own music and set Of COM
promise flags, it seems to be believed that
the needed propitatory offerings have been
made to the powers of darkness, and that
fortune will now smile upon the movement.
Everything is in readiness to force through
the plan already determined upon. set
of resolutions were brought from Washing
ton, which the President approved, and a
written set were brought from New York
by Thurlow Weed.
The Ohio delegation has fixed upon Judge
Rannay as the Vice President from that
State General A. McCook as a member of
the committee to wait on Mr.. johnson, and
Sol. Hinkle on the Committee on Resolu-
tions.
The prospects seem to be that the Con-
ventiou will adjourn on Thursday, unless q
greater latitude is given to debate than is
now intended. The Southern delegates are
mainly in favor of prolonging the session,
as they desire to express their views fully.
There is some talk of holding a series of
political meetings here Immediately after
the adjournment.
Tonight tie Johnson-Clime club has
been addressed by Perry OF South Carolina,
Perrin of New York, and Lewis D. Camp
bell of Mexico.
Thus far all attempts to secure ValIandig-
hams letter have been unsuccessful. It is
in the hands of his particular friends.
