The Committee returned and reported

lows, to witt:
WHEREAS, It has ever been the privilege
of loyal citizens of the government of the
United States of America to assemble and
discuss the best means for the prosperity OF
those sacred institutions handed down to us
by our forefathers; and whereas, the Con-
gress of the United States has passed bills
for the better government of the late Rebel
States and whereas it is the duty of every
lawful citizen to render cheerful obedience
- !
thereto be it
/. Rsso1ued, That we accept heartily and
cheerfully the terms proposed by Congress,
and pledge ourselves to do all in our power
for their adoption.
2. That we recognize the Republican par
ty as the only and true party of the Country ;
the party that crushed out the rebellion and
preserved the Union. and that we will sup
port no man for office who does not stand
fairly and squarely upon the Republican
platform.
8. That we endorse the platform adopted
by the Republican Convention held in Raj
eigh on the 9th of march, 1867.
4. That we heartily approve of the manly
and prompt action of Genl. Sickles for pre-
serving law and order in District No 2, and
for removing from Office persons evilly dispo-
sed to the government of the United States.
s. That the course pursued by the North
Carolina Standard in defence Of the Union
and the Republican party meets our hearty
approval, and we hereby tender to its Edi-
tors our sincere thanks.
6. That as most of the offices of this State
are in the hands of men who are opposed to
Demonstration bill passed by Congress,
we therefore earnestly petition Genl. Sickles
to remove all such from Office, especially,
such as are using their influence against re-
construction, as we think it unjust for the
loyal men to be taxed to support disloyal Of
flee holders.
Z. That we consider the approaching con-
stitutional Convention as the most impor-
tant political event ever known to the histo-
ry of North Carolina, and that we would
most earnestly urge upon every citizen
agreeing with US in sentiment the Importance
without fail of having his name registered.
s. That a copy of these proceedings be
sent to the Standard for publication, and
other Republican papers be requested to
copy. -

Correspondence of the New York Tribune

WASHINGTON, Aug 8, 1867
There is no longer any necessity for specu-
lation as to the purpose of the President
with reference to Mr. Stanton's continuing
In the Cabinet. Mr. johnson, this morning,
notified him in writing that his resignation
as Secretary of War would be acceptable
30 far, Mr.. Stanton has not been heard from
on the subject, but his friends say he will
resign, and that he is preparing a written
response to the note of the President. In
case Mr.. Stanton goes out of the Cabinet
Gen. Grant will be appointed to perform
the duties of Secretary of War until the
President shall have time to consider who
he will name as the successor of Mr.. Stanton.
The rupture between the President and
Secretary Stanton is still the chief topic of
conversation here. Stanton's friends. who
nave been with him to-day, state that he
gives out that he will not resign. He SAYS
that it the President wishes to get rid of
him, he will have to do SO by violating the
law and removing him, for that he will never
yield. On the other hand, the johnson men
who claim to be posted as to the Presidents
opinion, assert that he, the President. will
remove or suspend Stanton if he refuses to
resign. The contemplated removal Of Sher-
ldan is lost sight of since it has become
known that Johnson has stated that Stanton
must go first, and all interest is conferred in q
climax to the johnson Stanton quarrel. The
White House and War Department. poll
ticians are very active. Stanton has been
run down with visitors most of the tlav. a
Since writing the foregoing we learn that
certain friends of Mr.. Stanton who called on
HIM to-day say he assured them he, would
not resign. "o----

The LATE GENERAL MEAGHER-
PARTICULARS OF Hrs DEATH IA pri-
vate letter from Montana Territory,
dated Virginia City, July 6, gives the
following account Of the'death of Gene
neral Meagher:
"He was at Fort Benton, waiting for
the arms the Government sent up. lie
arrived there on the 1st of July, having
riden thirty miles on horseback in the
hot sun that day. He spent the after
noon in conversation and letter-wrlt-
ing, and retired early to his berth on
board the steamboat G. A. Thompson.
There was no railing on the guards OPP
posite his state-room door, 1t hav-
inc been broken off in some way.
About 10 O'clock at night he went on
the guards. Here, it is supposed, ne
stumbled on coil ofrope, lost his ba-
lance, and was precipitated over the
side of the boat. The river is greatly
swollen, and the current is so strong
that the best swimmer has no chance
in it. It is stated that he called for
help, when the deck hands ran with
their lights, and saw him floating away.
There was no boat ready. Everything
appears to have been in confusion and
excitement. / have received charm
ing letter that he wrote ME late that at
ternoon, (his last on earth, telling me
that he hoped to start for home by the
last of the week; 50 that he evidently
had no presentiment of his dreadful
fate. A gentleman who was
in his company for over an hour late in
the afternoon before the accident occur
red has informed me of most OF the
circumstances of his last hours in this
life, as state them to You. fear that
his remains will never be recovered,
though the citizens of Montana are
making every effort to find Them"

sAIoME,s PRAYER.

.Grant that these my two sons may sit,
one on Thy right hand, and the other on Thy
left, in Thy Kingdom s#
O mother! full of modest dreams,
And did thy hopes aspire
To where before the Throne there CLEANS
The crystal sea of fire? ta
Didst see in vision, leftandright,
Thy two sons seated there, ..al.asa
With golden crowns, arrayed in white,
Ingory none might share!
Ali could thine eyes have seen, indeed,
The boon that thou didst ask; So
How one dear son for Christ must bleed,
And one work out his task
Not cen their Lord that boon might give,
But by His Fathers rule;
And suffering is for all that live,
The saints appointed school.
He crowns the victims brow but, first
Must come the fierce, hot strife;
The soul must taste earth's last and worst,
And then the perfect life; ~ 9sf
By weary ways. or sudden pain,
He ends what he began;
And only thus his children gain
The stature of the man.
Ye mothers, who for children seek
Great heritage of fame: -
Gods gifts, a prophets word to speak,
A statesman's might and name,
The wreath that binds the conqueror's brow,
The poets tongue OF fire
Who thus, if free would utter now
Your deepest heart deslre,
How would ye shrink in pale dismay,
Could We the future scan, Qi
And trace the lonely age and grey,
The features worn and wan; T
Could hear the minstrel's minor sad,
And see the statesman foiled,
The one prize never to be had,
For which alone they toiled
Ye know not how the fire which burns
In words from poets lips,
Upon the mans own spirit turns, So
And ends in dark eclipse;
Ye know not, when for those ye love,
Yeask the worlds success, A TslF &.
That wealth, power, glory, never prove
Enough the heart to bless.
Far better ask Salome's prayer
For those the heirs of light.
When thy Lords Kingdom comes, 10 snare
The thrones to left and right;
Then with thy Fathers perfect will
Be ready to comply,
Sure that His Love will lead them still
In wanderings far and high. g
But, best of all, seek only this.
The power for service true,
To find in good their perfect bliss,
One light in varying hue;
They please him best who make their choice
To take the lowest place;
And in His presence they rejoice,
True heirs of Gods great grace.

JEFFERSON DAVIS IN VERMoNT.AA Bos-

recent visit of Mr.. Davis to Vermont:
"Jef Davis visited Stanstead last week
and was the guest ef n I I. Lee Terrill.2
Frederick Terrill, Esq, brought him from
Sherbrooke there, in very quiet manner. on
Wednesday last, professedly to see the coun-
try and to consult in regard to an investment
in the gold mines of Hatley. On Thursday
as we learn from the Newport (Vt.) Ecpress'
Mr.. Terrill, in his, best .tournout, took Jeff
about the village TO ride, when several Incl.
dents occurred not altogether pleasing. we
should imagine, to either the host or his
guest. Not only boys but men booted al
him in the street, and greeted him with
those familiar words, Well hang JEFF.
Davis to'a sourapple tree He was frequent
ly asked where he had left his 4 pettieoats.,
and more various like remarks, more sug-
gestive than pleasing everywherere fell upon
his ear, One lady, stung by the recollec-
tion of the suffering and death of a near re-
lative at Andersonyille, gave utterance to
her feelings by hurting stone at him. Per-
mission was asked that JEFF might ride
about the grounds of Mr.. Carlos Pierce, and
take look at his noted herds, but the re-
quest was emphatically denied by Mr.. Hen
~ Pierce, in charge of the premises, who
declared, in unmistakable language, that in
no event could JEFF. Davis be admitted to
these grounds"

RESTRICTION OF Table Rock AT MAG
ARA FALLS.
The far-famed Table Rock, on the
Canada sid of Nisgara Falls, which has
excited the admiration of thousands
from all parts of the world, and from.
which mnltitudes have gazed on this
masterpiece of natures wonders, is no
longer in exietence. 1t was at one
time an extensive platform, juttiDg far
over the water below the falls
Portions have been falling for nearly
fifty years. In 1918 a mass leo feet
long and 40 feet wide broke off and fell
into the flood below and ten years la
ter, in 1928, three immense masses fell
with crash that sounded out above
the eternal roar of the fails. Again, a
fragment fell in 1929, and in 1850 a
huge mass 200 feet in length and 100
feet in thickness. Other portions fell
in 1857 and 1868. At one time up
wards of fifty persons had been
standing upon the rock but few min
utes before one of these portions FELL
The only loss sustained, however, was
an old hack, from which the horses
lad been taken but few minutes be-
FORE
Owing to.the frequent breaking away
Of portions of'the rock, it has of late
been regarded as dangerous, and per-
sons have been warned against going
ON the rock or underneath it, Visitors
have thus been debarred some of the
grandest views to be had of the Horse
shoe Fall The danger is gone, but
with it the view, of which Charles
Dickens wrote
!" 1t was not till / came on Table
Rock and looked on the fall of bright
green waters that it came upon me in
its full weight and majesty. Then Nj
agara was forever stamped upon my
heart, an image of beatty, to remain
there changeless and indeliable, until its
pulses cease to beat forever 81. ,:jt
For two weeks past efforts have been
made to disengage what remained of
the rock, blasting with powder. Ad-
vantage was taken of deep chasm
formed by the weight of the projection
to sink hole ten or fifteen feet deep,
and then insert in the crevices an i'm
mense blast ofpowder. At ep. M. to-
day, the match was applied, dark col
umn Of smoke and sand arose, and a
terrific crash was heard, and the last of
this once magnificent rock, still huge
in its proportions, and weighing hun
dreds of tons, rolled in the seething
cauldron below. LED.

POSTAL CONVENTIONS.

IMPORTANT STATEMENT BY THE BRITISH
CHANCELLOR OF THE ExcHEQUER.
In the House of Commons Mr.. Hadfeld
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the government had considered the
policy of extending the system of cheap
postage to all foreign and friendly govern
ments willing to reciprocate in this conve-
nience, and to bear their proportion of the
cost of the same; and whether any measures
were being taken for such an arrangement
The Chancellor OF the Exchequer-The
important subject upon which the honorable
gentleman has asked question, has very
much engaged the attention of the govern
ment and of their predecessors Within
these few weeks We have signed postal con-
vention with the United States, under which
after the list of January, the postage be-
tween the two countries will be reduced
from is. to Cd. for each half-ounce letter.
(Cheers) may also say that of the hume
rous proposals made for the reduction of
foreign postage, the vast majority have ema-
mated from this country, and there has been
no proposal made upon a tolerably fair basis
that has ever been refused by us. (Hear,
hear) Negotiations with Peru, Chile, and
other western states of America are at this
moment going on, with the object of reduc-
ing the postage, but l cannot say that any,.
thing very definite has been concluded in
these cases. Within the last two or three
years the postage between this country and
Sweden has been reduced from lid. to 3d.,
with Denmark from Sd. to 4d, and with
Holland from 3d. to 3d. That will show
Z that the subject has very much engaged the
attention of the government, and there are
at this moment before US, and under the con-
sideration Of ether governments, proposals
which may lead to still more extensive re-
suits. (Hear, hear) SO
