al interesting statement ,at the Medical
Convention recently held in Rochester.
In investigating the eases and nature Of
eruptive diseases he made the following
experiment:
Gle teok piece of fresh beef and put

main seventy hours. BY this time the
meat had tbegan to 3ecompose, and was
far from being, agreeable either to taste
or, smell The docter then took q single
drop Of the water and. examined it under

numerous minute animals, all in a lively

The Mississippisns are taking pains to
hunt up the colored Conservative voters,
in order to reward them. The Column
bus Inder names one Austin Jones, who
induced sixteen others TO vote with him,
and asks for him support as a WAGNER.
Also for Green Williams, another wag-
oner, who says the white mans interest
is the black mans interest, and acts ac-
cordiugly. In the same paper we OBJ
serve a request to "spot" one Dick Am
mons alias Dick Wynne, a white Niger,
who claims to be Democrat, aud yet
voted with the Radicals, aud afterwards
denied it. 1t also asks support for Geo.
HUMPHREYS, who voted the Democratic
ticket, and who is q barber. Il alse
warns against John Hinton, Jack Rabb,
10. Baker, and other black men, who are
really Loyal Lesguers, while pretending
to be in sympathy with white men, say
ing their interests are one, and asking
their patronage. All in all, these per-
sisieni efforts to reward the faithful and
true, and expose the hypocritical and
false, cannot but have a good effect
While they have the power to vote, the
blacks viii vote as they please, bat there
is no need ofIying and cheating about it.

law, imposing certain forms Of procedure

regarded by Democrats as voxatious and

this is true, and that every man OF Ten

Yet the Tennessee Supreme Court has
held this infamous law constitutional
and legal, and with as much integrity as

from the proceedings Of tho Charleston
Convention the rule adopted there, which
recognized the right Of each delegate TO
cast his individual vote, except where a
State Convention had instructed its dele
gates how to vote The delegate from
the Second District OF Illinois claimed
The right TO cast his vote for Mr.. johnson,
whom he eulogized as defender Of the
Constitution and rights Of the people.
Mr.. Richardson stated that the Illinois
Convention had instructed the delegation
TO vote as unit. They instructed them to
vote for Mr.Pendleton. A minority ofthe
delegation have decided now TO go Tor
other distinguished gentlemen, and he
considered il his duty to cast the entire
vote of the delegation.
There was here another scene Of great
confusion, amid which an adjournment

The Convention met at 10 o'clock.
A Missouri delegate rose to privi-
legged question, and complained that the
order of the Convention inviting the
soldiers and sailors to seats in the hall
had not been properly executed, and
asked that the Sergeant. at Arms be in
structed to execute 1t. There were great
complaints that many were refused ad
mission.
The Secretary stated that tickets had
been issued to soldiers and sailors, who
were admitted to the extent of the ca.
pacity of the hall.
Broadhead, of Missouri, rose to NOM
mate +. P. Blair as candidate before the
Convention for President. He said that
Blair had the irmness of purpose, great
courage, and indomnitable will which
were especially required at this time /;
that he would give living meaning to
the pledge to preserve and defend the
Constitution, and assert and maintain the
independence of the Executive that he
knew the duties of the Executive station,
and will dare maintain them. He NOM
mated Blair in behalf of the Missouri
delegation.
Miller, of Pennsylvania, rose and COM
planned of the violation, by Tilden, Of
yesterdays rules of the Convention, in
making remarks in announcing the
change of the vote of that State. His
remarks were excited and in bad temper.
In referring incidentally to the name
OF Chase the galleries broke out in great
cheering When the Chair announced
the business in order to be the 10Th bal
lot, delegate from California in n
few remarks announced Judge Stephen
Field, ofthat State, as q candidate for the
Presidency, whom he eulogized as a
guardian of the Constitution of the
country against the assaults of the Radi-
Gals at Washington. [Subdued cheers ]
Vallandigham said he had a commu-
nication in writing which, with leave of
the chair, be would read from the stand.
[His appearance on the platform was
greeted with moderate cheers. He read
the letter, which was from Pendleton,
dated Cincinnati, July 2, and addressed
to Mclean, of the Ohio dele
CATION, authorizing the withdrawal
of his name whenever it should
seem desirable. He deemed the success
of the party more important than the
qualification of personal ambition. If
at any time man could be presented
that is likely to more heartily unite the
party than his (Pendleton's), let his
name be withdrawn.
