Mr.. Seymour took the Chair.
The deIeRate from the I'd district of
Illinois insisted as a point Of order that
each delegate to this Convention bad a
right to record his own vote according
70 his own views and sentiments. BE
moved a resolution to that effect.
The Chair ruled the resolution out
of order, because in contravention of
the rules adopted for the government
of the Convention. BE said that II had
been decided in former conventions
that each State delegation had a right to
determine the vote OF the delegation as
Rhole.
Mr.. Bayard argued that this was a
strained view of the rules. This was a
delIberatiVe body, and each delegate, he
thought, had a right to vote for him
self.
Mr.. Clymer. OF Pa, read from the
proceedings of the Charleston Conyen-
ton, the rules adopted which Tecogni-
"a the right Of each delegate to cast his
individual vote except where 4 State
convention has instructed its delegates
how to vote.
The delegate from the I'd district of
Illinois claimed his right under this RUE
to cast half a vote for Andrew Jonn-
son, whom he eulOgiZed as II defender
of the Constitution and the oghts OF
the people. [Great cheers -.
Mr.. Bichardson stated that the llli-
nois state Convention instructed them
10 vote for PendletC n, but a majority OF
the delegation had decided TO vote for
other ifstinguished gentlemen, and he
considered Il his duty TO cast the entire
vote Of the delegation.
There was here another scene OF great
confusion. Adjournment was moved

The Fruit Crop.

There are very contradictory reports
as 10 the extent of damage TO the frult
crop in this State BY the late frosts aud
freezes. On the ridges there are said to
be an abundance of peaches, while on
the lowlanis the impression prevails
that tie fruit has been geBerally killed.
The probability is, that with favorable
season, we shall have q sufficient supply
of fruit for ordinary purposes. The
small frat promise an abundant yield.
From other States the reports are not
very favorable. The severe freeze OF
the night Of the 9Th inst is said to
have dissipated what little hope there
was left of a peach and pear crop
in the vicinity of Cincinnati, and
even apples are supposed to be Sc
riously injured. In Southern Illinois
nearly all the fruit buds are killed. ex-
cepting the harder varieties of apples.
The strawberry plants have not suffered
seriously. Near yincennes, Indiana,
the leaves of the peach trees were killed,
and probably the buds also. The Pitts
burg Gazette thinks the fruit was not
much injured by the cold the first of this
week. The same paper says winter grain
is looking remarkably well, and the
same reports come from all sections OF
the country through our exchanges.
Fields, which we're supposed to be worth:
less, are now giving promise of q good
yield. - Washington Dispatch.

A Republican Paper on General sherman's
Testimony.

From the Cincinnati Commercial. l5th.J
The action Of the Senate on Saturday,
in overriding the decision Of the Chief
Justice that Lieutenant General Sher-
mans conversations with the President
were admissible as evidence, will be taken
by the country to mean that the case
against the President is net so strong as
has been pretended by the impeachers.
The main point of Ben. Butler Il Co., is
that the President entered into a. con-
spiracy to obtain possession Of the War
Office, by force if necessary, in violation
of law. On that question General Sher-
man is the most competent and impor-
tant witness, and the Senate has ruled
out that portion of his testimony which
would have thrown most light upon the
transaction. The effect of this proceed
ing will not be to back up the impeachers
with thefavor of that considerable public
opinion which is of the first consequence
in going before the country upon the
merits ofithi trial
