and united support to the nominees OF that
Convention for the offices of President and Vice
President of the United States.
. Resolved That we demand of the Legsla.
ture of this State q reduction of the useless
swarm of officers with which We are infested,
and such other measures Of economy. retreneh-
ment and reform as will reduce the burthen of
State and local taxation, which is txhausting

oppressive upon the people, and at variance
with the fundamental principles Of free govern.

4. Resolved That we denounce the Radical
party of this State, because, with view OF
perpetuating their own power, they have re.
fused to permit the people to elect their own
Rasrist"rs and have vested the r"~-r "f arr"'-,
ment and removal in the Governor so that the
INSCRIPTIONS purposes Of the party may be bet.

duty.
). Resolved That while we are willing to &C.
cord to the negro the full measure of legal
rights with ample protection of person and
property, we are unalterably opposed to negro
suffrage, negro equality, and Radical legislation
looking to that end.
g. ReSOlUed That we denounce the Radical
party for having, through its representatives in
Congress, by the passage of certain military re-
constr uciion bills, declared null and void the
Government Of Virginia, which formed the
State of West Virginia, thereby denying the
legal existence of our new State.

At the session of the National Labor
Union yesterday, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, presented her credentials a. a

upon the propriety of admitting dele
gate from what purported to be po-
litical organization, but as Mrs. Stanton
was known to be warmly interested
in labor movements, especially those
pertaining to her own sex, she was ad-
mitted by A ayes to IL nays.

General Meade is here on his way

General Schotield, in which the subject
of the Camilla riot was under consld-
Grafton. General Meade leaves to-nor-
row for Atlanta.
After the conclusion of the argument
in the Surratt case to-day, Judge Wylie
reviewed the case. He said that as 1t
has been presented, the offence as
charged in the indictment amounted to
giving aid and comfort to the enemy by
en- tering into a conspiracy to abduct
and murder the late President Lincoln.
The offence was misdemeauor and not
felony at common law; it was not
treason, according to definition, or
other felony, and, therefore, was not
covered by the Presidents proclama'
ton of pardon and amnesty, of July
last. The Court, for reasons elaborately
set forth, sustained the demurrer OF the
District Attorney to the plea OF the
counsel for the defendant. MT. Mer'
rick, for the prisoner, asked leave 10
amend the plea, to put it In better
shane to meet the technical objections
of the Court, in order that it might
stand in proper condition for review
This request was granted by the coun-
sci for the Government and the Court
Judge Wylie said the counsel for the
defendant must he ready with the de-
INJURED plea tomorrow morning, rs ut
desires to 60 to work on the trial.

The surratt Trial

WASHINGTON, September 23.-In the
Criminal Court this morning, Merrick
continued the argument to show that
Surratt was within the scope of the
Presidents amnesty proclamation. Rid
die opposed the argument, contending
that by the act Of the nineteenth Of
January, 1867, the authority of the
President to grant amnesty was re-
psaled, and Congress only had power
TO make such psrdons. He also con-
tended that Surratt did not come even
within the meaning of the terms of the
proclamation.
