One of the delegates objected that the
army was very fully represented on the
| lists of the committees, but the navy did
not seem to be represented.
The President announced that II the
gentlemen present would nominate sailors
one would be placed on each committee
Another delegate suggested that Sergeant
Bates, who since the war carried the Union
flag through the Southern States, was
present and should be invited to the floor.
While waiting on Mr.. Bates, the Presi-
dent directed the committee on Resolutions
to retire to receive the resolutions, and I'M
til then ruled that the resolutions were out
OF order. 81 Ef 90
A point of order was taken that other
business was in order. Cries of lay it on
the table! Orderl Order!l
A delegate appealed from the Presi-
dents ruling out. 1t was sustained.
General Green Clay Smith offered a res
olution that widows and orphans of SOL
diers and sailors were the wards of the ma
tion, and ii any creditors of the Govern
ment were to be paid in gold they above all
others should have preference. Rules sus-
pended and resolution passed.
A variety of resolutions were handed up
to the President amid motions to adjourn
and confused cries of order read no yes
Ultimately the President took vote on
the motion to adjourn and declared the
Convention adjourned, pursuant to Gen.
Nj Quade's resolution. sirElE
Full Report of the Proceedfnge of
Democratic National Convention
ON Saturday.
NEW YORK, July 4.
The new Tammany Hall is admirably
adapted for the meeting OF the Convention.
1t is elegantly festooned with large Ameri-
can flags and decorated with elaborate
painted escutcheons of all the States. The
accommodations for the delegates are am
Pile; the arrangements for the press excel
lent, except that the committee in charge
persistently refuse admission to accredited
to receive reports.
The weather is intensely hot, but the hall
Is perfectly ventilated. Among the specta-
tors are many ladies; also, Francis P. Blair,
Senator Patterson, ex-senator Bayard,
Governor Swami, of Maryland, and many
men prominent in Southern politics before
the war. The balls and galleries are dense-
ly crowded and a great crowd outside vain
ly striving to gain admittance. A strong
police force at the doors and on the street
keep the road open and preserve good
order.
The Convention was called to order at
twenty minutes past II o'clock by August
Chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, who addressed the Con-
vention as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: 1t Is
my privilege to-day to welcome you here,
i'm this hall, constructed with so much ar
tistic taste, and rendered to, you by the
time honored Society of Tammany. well
come you to this temple, erected to the
Goddess of Liberty by her staunchest de-
tenders and most fervent worshipers. I
you to this good city of New
York, the bulwark of Democracy, which
has rolled back the surging waves of radf-
calism through all the storms of the last
eight years; and I welcome you to your
Empire State, which last fall redeemed
herself from Republican misrule by ma
jority of nearly $4,000 votes, and which
claims the right to lead the vanguard of
victory in the great battle to be fought
next November for the preservation of our
laws and liberties.
1t is most auspicious omen that we
meet under such circumstances and sur
rounded by such associations, and l share
your own confident hope ofthe overwhelm-
ing success of the ticket and platform
which will be the result of your delibera-
tions, for it is to the American people that
our appeal lies. Their final judgment will
be Just. The American people will no lon
ger remain deaf to the teachings of the
past They will remember it was under
successive Democratic Administrations,
based on our national principles, the prin-
ciples of Constitutional liberty, that our
country rose to prosperity and greatness
in the annals OF history.
They will remember the days when
the North and South marched shoul-
der to shoulder together In the
of Mexico, which gave our golden
empire on the Pacific, our California and
our Oregon, now the strong hold OF tri-
umphant Democracy. They will remem-
ed over the whole Union, when we had no
national debt to crush the energies of the
people, when the tax gatherer was un-
known throughout the vast extent of the
land, when the credit of the United States
stood as high in the money market of the
world as that of any other; and they will
remember with wise sorrow that with the
downfall of the Democratic party in 1861,
came that fearful war which has brought
and desolation into every house,
hold, has cost the loss of a million of citi-
zens and left US with national debt, the
burden of which drains the resources,
cripples the industry and impoverishes the
labor of the country. They will remem-
Der that after the tratricidal strife was over,

and the sacrifice of people had restored
the Union and vindicated the supremacy
of the law, when the victor and vanquished
were equally ready to bury the past and
hold out the hand of brotherhood and
good will across the graves of their fallen
comrades, it was again the defeat of the
Democratic candidate in 1864 which pre-
vented the consummation so devoutly
wished for by all. Instead ofrestoring the
Southern States to their rights, instead of
trying to wipe out the miseries of the past
by a magnanimous policy, dictated alike
by humanity and..sound craftsmanship, and
so ardently prayed for by the generous
heart of the American people, the
Radicals in Congress, elected in an evil
hour, have placed the iron heel of the con-
queror upon the South. Austria did not
nor Russia impose upon conquered Poland
the ruthless tyranny now imposed by Con-
gress upon the Southern States. Military
satraps are invested with dictatorial power,
overriding the decisions of the courts and
assuming the functions of the civil author
tiles. The white population are disfran-
chised or forced to submit to test oath
alike revolving to justice and civil
ization, and a debased and ignor-
ant race. just emerged from SER
vitude, lifted into power. These men
are elected to be legislators and leQisla-
tors only trampliug the Constitution un-
der their feet, have usurped the functions
OF the executive and the judiciary, and it
is impossible to doubt, after the events OF
the past few months and the circumstan-
.ces of the impeachment trial, that they
will not shrink from an attempt hereafter
to subvelt the Senate of the United States,
which alone stood between them and their
victim, and had virtue enough left not to
