TheP President called the Convention
to order at 10. IA. n. 1H
L. On motion of the Committee ON Ad-
missions, the Mobile Chamber of Com
merce was admitted, and It's delegates,
1 Messrs. Stewart, Smith and Walker,
were admitted to full membership.
The President addressed the Board.
BE said a good deal of the most impor.
tant business yet remained to be con.
sidered, and he trusted no member
| would talk of dispersion so long as
there were any matters which remained
undecided, and that those who felt COM
peIled to leave should make an effort
TO stay, showing no haste to evade their
/ responsibilities, whereby their deliber-
/ ations would haYe their due weight
with the people and with Congress. He
then renewed his former suggestions as
to the form of proceedings, that every
| gentleman when rising, instead
OF saying "Mr. President" should
announce his own name and place dis
tinctlY also as TO the vast Importance
1 OF the motion brought us yesterday
from the Board Of Trade of st. Louis
and other matters. he asked the con-
eurrenee OF the board in his former
suggestions, this was that each member
of that board should have priority of
speech and then he would call ON the
individual members of each delegation
in alphabetical order, SO that each
delegation should have an opportunity
of speech, by which they could arrive
at the views of merchants from all
parts of the country. His object was TO
preserve regularity. If no objection
was raised he would act accordingly
ON ali the weighty matters that pressed
for their consideration. Ifafter the roll
was called and there were any other
members who wished toreply they
might be able to speak Concurred In.
The chairman on admissions then
presented report on the claim OF the
Board of Trade OF Norfolk, Va, for ad.
mission. Twas an old and important
body and clearly entitled to admission,
but their credentials were not under
seal. He therefore proposed that the
delegates be admitted to the floor, with
the privilege of speaking, but not
voting.
Mr.. Nazro, of Boston, objected; he
wished to keep to the strict letter OF
their constitution.
Mr., Brandt complained OF MIR. NazTo's
extreme technicality.
The matter was put to a vote, with
the following result: ayes, S5; nays, 20.
The chairman on admissions again
presented the claims for admission
from Springfeldj Ohio. The delegates
were admitted to the floor and permit
ted to speak, but not to vote. The del
gate from Council Bluffs, Mr.. johnson,
was also admitted. Under the same
provisions the Cairo Board of Trade
were also admitted, bys23 ayes TO @
nays, into membership, although no
delegates have yet presented them
selves. The application of the Mobile
Board of Trade was also presented, the
the communication being by telegraph.
Mr.. Hiviker OF New York objected;
we were drifting into an unconadtutIO.
nal course. We had no evidence
steamboat or insurance company. We
had nothing to do with any individual
interests, but with general commerce.
We have organized for exclusively
commercial purposes. Application not
granted.

AMERICAN SHIPPING.
This matter came up from yesterday.
1t arose from a recommendation pro-
ceedfug from the New York Produce
Exchange, to the effect that American
shipping can be restored to its position
of supremacy of the ocean, from WHICH
IL was driven by rebellion and from
want OF proper legislation.
Mr.. Hincken of New York wanted
every one here and every one in the
United States to know that American
ships no longer convey the vast pro-
fonnaoe F.as been about ono a half mill
