NEW YORK, July 6.-The police arrangeV
ments proved inadequate this morning to
keep back the surging crowd which block
ed up the avenue of approach TO Tammany
Hall, and delegates had great difficulty in
entering.
AT half.past ten the delegates generally
were in their seats.
At quarter before eleven the Conyen.
tion was called to order. Prayer by VIII
liam Quinn. --
Reading of the journals of Saturday was
dispensed with.
delegation from the Working Mems Con-
vention were invited TO seats.
The Committee on Permanent 0rganiza-
tion reported. For President Hon. Horatio
Seymour, of New York, with a Vice-Presi-
dent and Secretary from each State.
They recommended the rules of the DEM
ocratic Convention of 1864 for the govern
ment of this convention.
The report was adopted and the commit
tee discharged.
The Committee on Resolutions asked for
permission to report at any time during
! the session Of the convention. Agreed to.
The Chair appointed Bigler of Pennsyl-
vania and Hammond OF South Carolina
committee TO conduct the permanent
President to the chair.
Seymour proceeded to the platform amid
great cheering, long continued,
He returned thanks for the homer con-
Il
liberation, and harmony.
He said that most important questions
were forced upon the consideration of the
convention.
Some of these were forced upon it by reso-
| lutons of the late Chicago Convention.
He discussed briefly the Republican plat
form, and accused that party of violating its
own declarations against reputation and
unequal taxation, and then asserted solici-
| tude for soldiers, and soldiers widows and
orphans. ,.f
He accused the now dominant party Of
! extravaganza in wasting the public moneys,
| tainting the national credit extirpating i'm
migration by overburdening labor with tax
alton, and breaking down constitutional
| guarantees of Republican liberty.
He denied the assertion of the Republican
Convention that the principles of the decla-
tion of independence are now sacred on
every inch OF American soil, for in ten
States of the Union military power sup
presses civil law.

NEW YORK, July 5.-There has been active
caucusing going on at all the hotels to-day
among the delegates, but nothing Of the
result is made known otherwise than in the
| form OF rumors and speculations, which are
wild and contradictory.
| The vote on adoption of the two-thirds
rule in the convention is considered a test
of Mr.. Pendletons strength, and since the
! two-thirds rule has been adopted the
chances Of his nomination seem to be de-
chning. ...,.
Chief Justice Chase and Mr.. Hendricks
are growing stronger and stronger, espe-
clally the latter, as compromise candi-
date, in case the convention should be una.
Die to agree upon more prominent men.
The day has been oppressively hot, the
thermometer reaching nine in the shade.

from Chase to the Convention.
NEW YORK, July GA large number of
resolutions were offered, and referred with.
out debate.
A resolution indorsing President johnson
and applauding Chief Justice Chase on the

The Massachusetts and Rhode Island dele

Mr.. Pendleton's friends claim 1873 votes on

will require twenty or thirty more.
The Chase letter Is published. Abiding
to suffrage and other domestic affairs, after
expressing himself in favor of according
suffrage to all citizens, Mr.. Chase says: ION
this question l adhere to my old States
rights doctrines. In the event of nomtna-
tion and success trust | should SO act that
neither the great party which makes tne
nomination nor the great body OF patriotic
citizens whose cooperation couIo insure
success would have cause to regret their
action. 1t is an intense desire with me to
see the Democratic party meeting the ones
! tions of the day IN the spirit of the day, and
assuring to itself a long duration of ascend.
ancy. 1t can do 90 if 1t will.n
When the convention reassembled the
Soldiers and Sailors Convention presented
an address expressing no preference for
candidates, but breathing harmony and con-
fidence in the result.
An effort to overthrow the two.thirds rule

The Conservative BOIdIers' and Sailors,
COnveRIlOn-Judge OhaAe's Letter.
WASHINGTON, July 6,-The preamble of the
Soldiers and Sailors Convention resolutions
alluding to the doings of Congress, contains
this sentence: at has placed stigma
upon the virtue and honor of the Union
soldiers by imposing upon those who com
posed the late Confederate armies since
their surrender conditions of degradation,
in violation of the letter and spirit of the
capitulation when brave though misguided
foe laid down their arms.n
The following is Mr.. Chase's letter:
''Please say to your friend that he is en-
| tirely right as to my views of suffrage and
State rights. What l desire for the South
is peace and prosperity, with all disfran.
chisements and disabilities removed and
all rights restored to all citizens, and it is
my opinion that that end will be insured
by according suffrage to all citizens. But
the practical disposition of suffrage as we'll
as all other domestic questions is for the
people of the States themselves, not for out.
siders On this question adhere to my old
States rights doctrine, etc.

The oxford correspondent OF the London
Telegraph, writing of the appearance of
Longfellow among the dons at Cambridge,
says;
Amid the score or SO of heads of houses
and other academic dignitaries, conspicuous
by their scarlet robes, the one on which all
eyes were turned was Henry WadsWorth
Iongfellow. In stature and figure there
was little to attract attention to the celebri-
ty Of the day. But the face was one which,
think, would have caught the spectators
glance even if his attention had not been
called to 1t by the cheers which greeted
Longfellows appearance in the robes of a
LII. ID. Long white silken hair, and beard
of patriarchal length and whiteness, ,inclosed
a young, fresh.colored couhtenance, with
fine cut features, and deep sunken ewes
overshadowed by massive black eyebrows,
Looking at him you had the feeling that the
white head Of hair and beard were mask
put on to conceal young mans face, and
that If the poet chose he could throw off
the disguise and appear as a man in the very
prime and bloom Of life. Ia few well
rounded Latin sentences the public orator
recited the claims of the distinguished Wis
itor to the privilege of an honorary degree.
The names of "HiaWathaH and "Enoch.Ar-
denn and "Evangelinen sounded strangely
amid the sonorous periods of the Latin ora
tion. When 1t was ended Mr. Clark led Bir.
Longfellow to the Vice. Chancellor, with
whom he exchanged a few words of compli.
mentary greeting; then the usual formali-
ties were gone through, with the exception
Of the oath, and the name of Longfellow
was added to the list of illustrious wor.
thies recorded on the muster roll Of the
graduates Of Cambridge.

white rose, talk to me
I don't know what TO do;
Wby do you say no word to me
Who say so much to you!
I'm bringing you little rain,
And | shall be so proud
If, when you feel it on your face,
You take me for a cloud.
Here | come so softly
You can not hear me walking;
If I take you by surprise
Imsy catch you talking.
Tell all your thoughts to me,
Whisper in my eaf;
Talk against the Winter
He shall never hear.
I can keep a secret
Since was five years old;
Tell if you were frightened
When first you felt the cold.
And in the splendid Summer,
While you flush and grow,
Are you ever out of heart,
Thinking of the snow?
