chennRnnrond Fnrru.

At the last session Of the Massachusetts Legis-
lAture an act was passed whereby every railroad
in the Safe should be compelled to furnish a
morning and evening train at proper hours, for
instance not exceeding fifteen miles, aud for
such tariffs they shall furnish yearly season tick
cts at rate not exceeding three dollars per mile
. year, good once a day each day for six days in
a week. and quarterly tickets not exceeding
three dollars per mile per quarter providing
that the number Of persons making application
shall not be less than two hundred. The object
Of this was 10 enable mechanics and persons
OF limited means to escape from the tho alleys
and crowded streets Of Boston, and build up the
suburbs. Plenty Of room would thus be secured
and the result Il was believed, would be very
favorable to the interests Of morality as well az
to the comfort OF the working class.
The idea which led to this move il derived
from the success Of similar plan in London.
A early as 1869 the three principal railways
consented to convey not less than one thousand
passengers from any place within ten miles OF
London aud back for twopenoe (or about four
cents) day, and since 1864 all the new railways
constructed at that point have been obliged to
do the same thing. The result has been very
beneficial, both to the roads themselves the
suburbs, aRd the poorer classes. Rents in Lon
don itself. which would otherwise have risen to
fabulous height, have been checked and the
example set by the English roads is in every re-
spect worthy of imitation.

PHILADELPHIA, June 6.
The Convention met at ten A. M.
Convention commenced the transaction Of
business at eleven o'clock. The building is
packed and thousands are unable to get in.
Broad street is thronged, awaiting the nomina-
tion of Grant to be announced by salute.
After reports Of Committees on rules and Gre
dentials the States were called and the names of
the members Of the National Committee were
reported by all the States but Delaware and one
other which were not readr.
The platform Committee not being ready,
numerous speeches were made to fllup the time
by prominent gentlemen.
The delay of the Delaware delegation in nan =
ing member Of the National Committee was
caused by difference among tie delegates as
to the choice of James Riddle, George V. Mas
sey or Jacob Moore. Each was urged, and each
had two votes.
James Riddle was elected member of the
National Committee for Delaware.
The rules of the Convention required the
platform to be adopted before the nominations
were made, but these were all al length suspend
ed.
The nomination of President was then taken
up.
Gen.1 Calhoun of Illinois, presented the name
Of President Grant, and the whole assembly
burst into storms Of applause.
The motion to nominate by acclamation was
then adopted, with great excitement, enthusi-
asm and cheers.
The roll of States was then called in order that
each might formally record their votes In doing
80, minutes speeches we're made by the chair
man Of each delegation.
At one twenty-five o'clock the President of the
Convention announced that Grant had received
1852 votes, being the unanimous support of all
the delegates present.
Tremendous storms of applause followed, and
patriotic songs, with the refrain "Grant shal
gain the Victory" were sung with music.
The whole Convention Joined in singing
John Brown" and "Rally Around the Flag"
The enthusiasm is at fever heat.

commerce, navigation and ship building is vital
to the honor it is essential to the security of
the nation, and that vigorous maritime policy,
which shall secure employment for our ships,
by making American-built chips the perferred
vehicle Of American commerce with foreign

is alone adequate to the emergency.
The weather in beautiful to-day, and the nu-
