The Tw0-shirds Rule.
8 ROD gTatna NEW YoRK, July 4.
The large and magnificent hall of Tam
many was flied to overdowing. The Con-
vention Is composed of q fine looking body
of men. The street without was denseiy
packed with people who could not gain
adnittance, and who were anxious to as
certain what was going on within.
At II o'clock Mr.. August Belmont,
Chairman OF the National Democratic Ex-
ecutive Comnittee, called the Convention
to order. He made pertinent and well
coming speech, which was rapturously re-
ceived. In conclusion, on his motion, Hon.
Henry Palmer, of Wisconsin, was chosen
Temporary Chairman. On taking the
Chair Mr.. Palmer made few appropriate
remarks, which aroused the enthusiasm OF
the Convention to the utmost, when he
introduced Rev. DIR. Morgan, of Grace
Church, who invoked the divine blessing
upon the deliberations of the Convention.
On motion of S. s. Cox the rules of the
previous Democratic National Convention
were adopted for the government of the
Convention until otherwise ordered. This

to SuDVe1G the Senate OF the United States,
which alone stood between them and their
victim, and had virtue enough left not to
allow the American masses to be utterly
disgraced and justice to be dragged into
dust. -5E
In order to carry out this nefarious pro-
gramme, our army and navy are kept, in
time of profound peace, on a scale which
has involved a yearly expenditure of from
one to two hundred millions, prevents the
reduction of our national debt. and inn
poses upon our people system of most
exorbitant and unequal taxation, with
vicious, irredeemable and deprecated cur
rency, and now the same party which has
brought all these evils upon, the country
comes again before the American people,
asking for their suffrages. And whom has
it chosen for its candidate? The General
commanding the armies of the United
States. Can there be any doubt left as to
the designs of the Radicals? If they should
be able to keep their hold on the reins of
Government, they intend Congressional
usurpation of the Government to be en-
forced by the bayonets of a military des-
potism. .-sg- sf-e----a
1t is impossible that free and intelligent
people can longer submit to such a state OF
things. They will not calmly see their lib
critics subyerted, the prosperity and great
ness of the country undermined, and the
institutions bequeathed to them by the
fathers of the republic wrested from them.
They must see that the Conservative and
national principles of a liberal and progress
sive Democracy are the only safeguards of
the republic. Gentlemen of the Conven-
ton, your country looks to you to stay
this tide of disorganization, violence and
despOtism. 1t will not look in vain, when,
next November, the roll shall be called,
and when State after State shall respond by
rallying around the broad banner of Dem
ocracy, on which, in the future, as in the
past, will be inscribed our undying motto,
THE Union, the Country and the Laws"

stanced the case of Gems. Mcclellan, Slo-
cum and others. No less than 1000 soldiers
and sailors had been nominated to the Sem
ate and been rejected. The Conservative
been settled by the war. they had
felt conciliation toward their former
opponents. The Radicals had been ami
mated with enmity and hate, and, judging
the future by the past, the only hope for
peace was in the success of the Conserva-
tive party. They must be prepared to
make sacrifices for peace. What they ask
ed of the Convention was man whom the
soldiers and sailors could without sacrifice
of principles support.
The Secretary here announced that the
names Tor Vermont should be Colonel E. +.
Cole and Colonel Kennedy.
A resolution was here offered that all re-
solutiors be referred to the committee on
Resolutions without debate.
Various motions were raised in various
parts of the hall, the whole house for a
time being in confusion. ~
A motion to adjourn until Monday was
hooted down.
The President announced the committee
on resolutions and rules. -r.l -.-.-..
Gen. McClernand Said he had understood
the veterans of New York proposed on
Monday to assemble to escort the delegates
to this hall. He would suggest that the
delegations meet at Union Square at 81
o'clock Monday morning. He therefore
moved that when they adjourn they
should adjourn to meet at $50 at Union
Square. The motion was carried.
Gen. Theo. Runyon suggested that it
was matter of some importance that the
procession should be as large as proper.
l,500 veterans proposed to come over from
Newark to join the procession, but they
could not do it at $50.
Gen. McQuade thought they could march
down to meet the Newark delegation
This seemed to be the sense of the meeting.

lost, and even the northern expectation of
guerrilla termination of the war was dis
appointed. United States revenue officers
were uninterruptedly pursuing thir duties,
and war was supplanted by gladly well
come,l peace. That very year the South
ern States themselves accepted the aboli-
ton of slavery. -7&pN
The chairman of the committee on Per-
manent Organization announced General
w. B. Franklin, of, Connecticut, as the
nominee for permanent chairman.
General Ewing continued: The National
Congress was then bound by all the prin-
ciples of honor and by all its former
pledges, then to declare the work ofputting
down the rebellion at au end. In the Con-
yention of 1864, even while Horace Greeley
was endeavoring to arrange dishonorable
peace, the Republican party solemnly de-
clared that the preservation of the Nation.
al authority and not the esuperorganiZatiop
of sectional rights was the object of tht
war. For that object every man and ever,
dollar was obtained. Had they adhered Il
that, their lease of power might have beer
perpetual, but crazed with power, drunken
with success, they threw aside their every
principle and initiated a Southern Govern
ment formed alone of Northern moneyless
adventures and plantation negroes. Many
of the sodious features of Congressional
reconstruction might have been stomached
by the Southern States in their longing de.
sire tor peace, but the wholesale sweeping
prescription which practically excluded
every man who was of age, of sufficient
education. to hold Office could never be ac-
cepted without sacrifice of honor. s.I
The amendment put forth by Congress
was rejected by the South. Congress knew
and meant that it should be, and at once
the cry was raised that the South was still
rebelling, and by trickery like this these
Radical rebels have postponed the dawn OF
peace almost as long as their Southern ex-
emplars had done; and then old Thaddeus
Stevens, the whipper-in of the Radicals
misses and groansl-promulgated the novel
idea that the Southern States were consid-
cred Provinces and their people alien ene-
mics; but the Convention of 1864 denied
that dogma by nominating one of these
alien enemies, Andrew johnson, for
Vice President, and approved the grand
old reconstruction policy of Abraham
Lincoln. Then the war was still i'm pro-
gress and they wanted voluntary grants OF

Mourning.

The subject of mourning is one on
which there is much to be said, and
plausible reasons may be given for or
against the whole system. 1t seems to
us natural and ineYitable, and to most
peoples feelings probably grateful, that
there should be some such shelter from
the orninary cares of dress in times of
real sorrow, and the adoption Of mourn
ing can not be such shelter unless 1t
be so strictly conventional as to give no
indications of the feelings of any indi-
vidual wearer. But the form which it
takes in this country is to the last degree
troublesome and unreasonable. The
addition of so many inches of Grape for
every degree of affinity is irritatingly
absurd. Apart from this Grape itself is
a peculiarly bad material for the pur-
pose, from its expensiveneSs and its La
bility to injury from every drop Of rain.
The too common addition OF quantities
of Jet ornaments, or, still
worse, of black flowers and other dis
NAL translations of 6nery into trap
pings, is both lugubrious and ill-timed,
and nobody can think The result really
beautiful. To lay aside ones ornaments
is the natural symbol of grief, and are
lief when the feeling is real. The
French plan of signifyIng depth" of
mourning by increasing the degree of
plainness of the simple black dress, and
by the absence of ornaments and trim

and appropriate. The period of wear
ing mourning is considerably shorter
than ours. We believe they never wear
Grape at all, and we cannot see how any
one living or dead can be the worse for
it. The free use of white. in all cases of
mourning, however deep, would also
| be a great gain. In hot weather, to
condemn mOurners to the use OF
heavy black clothes is a mild form OF
suttee, and should, in common charity
be abolished. But it is too much to ex-
pect that individuals should have the
/ courage to break through such customs
as these. And there seems to be no pres
/ ent prospect of any means provided for
united action In such matters.

neWly-invented tires that the engine at
one point in its course passed over a

Ulysses and Peace.

The following extract from Pope's
translation of Homer's Odyssey is sent
to US by correspondent in Alabama.
Its remarkable application to the cir
cumstances of the present time in our
own land will be obvious to every read
er:
"Since Ulysses hand
Hath slain the traitors, heaven shall bless
the land,
None now the kindred of the unjust shall
own;
Forget the slaughtered brother and the son ;
Each future day increase of wealth shall
bring,
And DER the past oblivion stretch her wing.
Long Shall Ulysses in his empire rest,
His people blessing, by his people blessed.

Words of Cheer.
BY wM. JOHNSON. :

There is always something to cheer us
No matter how weary the pain;
Tho dismal and dark be the night-Watch
The morning viii d avn soon again
There's a joy for each saddening sorrow
A smile for each differing tear;
Our hopes may be scattered like ashes
Yet Phenix-like rise from their bier.
Each cloud has a hanging Of silver,
Tho we may not see Its light;
The sun has not ceased its shining
Tho hidden a while from our sight,
Our way through the world may be cherries
Our feet may be bleeding and torn,
Z ct (shaTp tho the wild blasf), He teInpers
The wind to the lamb that is shorn-
Then cheer up, ye mortals be hopeful,
Despair not, tho rough be the rOad3
Gods grace is sufficient to aid you
No matter how heavy the load
Be faithful and active and earnest,
In idleness never sit down;
The better the dark cross yOu carry
The brighter viii sparkle your crown.

Capt. Ericsson, who designed the
Monitor, has constructed a solar engine,
without fuel of any kind, except the
SUMS rays. He concentrates these rays
upon water, so as TO form steam or up
on air, which is expanded by their
heat. He finds that 100 square feet OF
surface viii give one horsepower. OF
course, less surface would be required in
the tropics than i'm Sweden. The auduc-
