THANKS.

Hin. Fayette McMullen offered {
resolution Hon. r. T. Daniel in tho
chair) returning the thanks of the
Convention to the President and 9th.
err officers of the body for the man.
ner in which they had discharged
their arduous duties. Unanimously
adopted.
Mr.. Goode, in response to repeated
calls, said that he felt so exhausted
by the labors of the past two days
that he could not even attempt to
make an extended speech, but he
must express his gratitude for the res
olution just adopted. Nor, having
risen, could he sit down without con-
graduating the Convention upon the
happy results of its labors, and upon
the harmony and good temper
through which those results had been
arrived at. Having recognized and
adopted Mr., Greeley, we could say
with truth,
"Yow is the Winter Of our discomfort
Made glorious Summer by this son Of New Y ork,
In the deep bosom OF the ocean buried"
applause
The president then declared the
Convention adjourned sine die.
SPEECHES.
After the adjournment of the Con
vention there were loud calls for Col.
J. W. Hinton, of Norfolk, who,
though suffering from indisposion,
made a most eloquent and humorous
speech.
Jude Ould was called for, and COM
ing forward no said that the latest
news was the latest gift which Ulysses
S. Grant had received, the degree of
j.. L. D.. bestowed by Harvard Uni
versity-so that lie was now DIR. Grant,
as the last title always prevails. Yet,
whatever else Grant might know, the
speaker could personally testify that
he Grant knew very little of law,
and that he could not even write de-
cent English. This knowledge bad
been acquired by six months cor
respondcnce with Grant, under his
own hand, in the latter part of the
war, and the subject of the cores
pondence was the exchange of pris.
oners. Grant was responsible, and
solely responsible, for the non-ex.
change of prisoners during the last
six months of the war, and upon him
rested in Southern prisons. and that
Confederate soldiers languished and
died in Northern ones. Grant avow-
ed thas he would not exchange, be-
cause, as he alleged in his wretched
english, to do so would recruit the
Southern army, endanger Sherman,
and render it doubtful whether he
could hold his position at Petersburg.
Judge Ould then spoke of the noble
ness of Horace Greeley, and how the
sympathy which he had exted to us
in our time of trouble should knit all
Southern hearts to him.
Messrs. w. S. Gilman. of this
city, Berry, of Bedford, and others.
followed. and at late hour the crowd
dispersed.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CAN
VASS.
A Plan proposed for the 9th Va,
District.

To the Editor Of the Bristol Nc,CS.
l see in your paper of the 10Th ult.,
a notice of the number of aspirants to
Congress from the 9th Congressional
district, and all of whom are along the
line of the Railroad, and only one
north of the mountain; and we have
seven counties north of the Railroad.
Now we claim that we ought to have
a representative, and our claims should
be considered i'll the convention. You
have the Judge, the Senator, and at
present, the member TO Congress.
We claim that we have men in those
counties of equal talent, at least who
have stood by the old ship of State
through hard fought battle and as
you have had every office since the
war, we ask that justice be done,
and as it was understood that the coun-
ties west of Wytheville should be con-
sidered in the next race, we propose
that the delegates to the Convention
proposed to be held, from each county,
propose a man, and that the Conven
lion make 4 selection. We are of Opin-
ion that delicacy prevents very many
from announcing them selves as cam
didates, while any man would ACCEPT,
if brought out by the people. We
hope the people will take the whole
subject in hand and act for themselves
and do Justice to all without regard to
individual aspirations, for they are
interested, ana they have right to
be.

harder things of his and its antagonists, than
Mr.. Greeley. f-l ID
Times are now changed, and the sage of
Chappaqua-as it is now considered respectful
to say-has changed with them. He has turned
his back upon old friends, denounced old poll
cies, gone back upon old Issues, and is present
ed as a candidate for the highest office in the
gift of the nation by-whom do our readers
suppose? Well, by those old-line Democrats
whom he has spent his life in opposing. and
concerning whom he has told as much plain,
wholesome, damning truth as any living man;
and especially by those ex-rebels who have
hardly been back in the Union long enough to
get their hands unreddened from the blood of
the patriots whom they slew in their unholy re-
bellion. Dixie was the melody to whose jol-
ly notes the convention proceeded to the nom
nation; and Fitzhugh Lee, Robert Ould, Wade
Hampton, Beriah Magoffin, Judge Regain, the
Postmaster General of the late Confederacy,
and Jubal Early, and other of its old warehouses;,
were prominent in the unanimous enthusiasm
with which the strange nomination was made.
Which has met with a change of heart to
bring about this result, the one old Republican,
or the whole party of ex-rebels?

The BowDoIN CREW AT SPRINGFIELD.-The
Bowdoin crew are tarrying at H. Looms's
pleasant home on West Springfield green, over
two miles up the river from the course. Their
boat is precisely like that of the Amherst agri-
cultural crew, built by Elliot, weighs $50
pounds, is 40 feet long and 10 inches wide, with
side seat. This crew are studiously Excepting
dark, y and do their practice pulling near their
stopping place, away from the eyes of other
College crews. RumOrs of the strength of this
crew preceded them, and their present actions
by no means lessen the anxiety on the part of
oarsmen. Bowdoin puts her oar in these races
for the first time, and it is not impossible that
the scene of last year (the green crew winning)
may be repeated. They are not strict in the
matter OF diet, but eat whatever is considered
healthy and nutritious. They row twice day,
morning and evening. Their boat was built by
Elliot, and George Price, the bow oar of the
famous St Johns crew is teaching them how
to row to the best effect. His quiet confidence
shows that he knows what he is about. They
have very fine place to board, quiet and handy
