not for their past political creed. There is
doubtless much in it that none of us would
endorse, and much that would meet our
unqualified condemnation. The question
is, what are they now? They stand pledged
to code of principles which we have al
ways advocated, and which, when
put into practical operation, win re-
deem this country and restore con-
stitutional liberty. believe Mr.. Greeley
was sincere, when, after his late tour
through the South, and returning to New
York, he said his motto in future should
be, "hOnest men 10 the front, thieves and
carpet-baggers to the rear" [Applause.1
That should be the motto of the American
people everywhere, and if emblazoned upon
the standards of all parties advocating an
honest and just administration Of the gov
eminent, the sixty thousand thieves now
in Office would soon be driven from place
and power. [Applsuse.l
Gentlemen, again let me thank you for
your manifestations Of confidence and re-
gard. But more especially, let me thank
you for your unmistakable determination
to rid yourselves Of the miseries of misrule,
by uniting as one man, under the banners
Of the constitution, and striking last blow
for human liberty. This purpose executed
in the same spirit that gave it birth, viii re-
generate the government, and make this
country what it once was, but has now
ceased to be, ''the land Of the free and the
home of the brave"

The Convention concluded its labors at a
very late hour last night. Delegates were
appointed to the Baltimore Convention;
Electors for the State at Large and some Of
the District Electors were selected. Gov.
Brown was waited upon and informed of his
nomination, and replied returning thanks
for the renewed honor. He placed himself
Enthusiastically in favor of the presidential
policy adopted. The speeches of Col.
Fleming and Gen. Quarles, Electors for the
State at Large, were exceedingly eloquent
and appropriate. Gen. Adkins was enthu-
siastically called for and responded in a
manner which brought to the minds of his
hearers the days when he bore aloft the
banner of his party in struggles which were
herculean and always honorable, whether
crowned With victory or wreat he'd with de-
feat,

The Paris OpiniOne Rationale publishes
a curious story respecting two boys, aged
about twelve, who, fresh from the reading
of "Robinson Crusoe,'' and tired Of the re-
straints of school and civilized life, had run
away from home to initiate De Foes hero
in desert country. The field they chose for
their adventures had the advantage of be-
ing nearer home than Juan Fernandez-an
island on the Seine, between AsDieres and
NeuilIy. A boatman was crossing that
piece of waste land a few evenings back,
when he was surprised to see smoke is
suing from a hole in the ground, land to
hear Juvenile voices. he soon discovered
the entrance to a sort of cavern, the open
ing of which had been concealed by brush
wood, and, continuing his search, discover
ed the young truants just as they were pre-
pairing their supper of four potatoes, cook
inc in the embers. They had, besides, a
store of provisions, consisting of four rolls,
some pieces of gingerbread, and part of a
sayeloy; and had also come prepared to re-
new their larder by fishing and hunting, one
contributing line and hooks and the other
a bow and arrow; with the latter they said
they had already killed a water rat, and
cooked it. Their bed consisted Of heap Of
shavings. which they had found in barge.
The boys, when questioned, said that they
lived in the Avenue de Neuilly, and had
been on the island for two days; they were
evidently getting tired of this new exist
enee, as they allowed the man to take them
back to their pareAts, who had been almost
in despair at their absence. ~

YESTERDAY.

There were many of the incidents Of
yesterday which should be recorded and
preserved. We regret our inability to do
that justice to the convention which It so
eminently deserves. It's dignity and the
high tone Of discussion which prevailed
were worthy of especial remark. The able
speeches of Messrs. Livingston and Hogan,
OF the minority, fully deserved the repeated
applause which they received. The plain,
practical, powerful reply Of Chancellor
Key carried the convention with an I'M
animity which was as unexpected as it was
overwhelming.

WASHINGTON, May 9.--Atythe expiration
Of the morning hour the amnesty bill came
up.
The pending question was on Summers
motion to substitute the supplementary
civil rights bill for the bill as it came from
the House.
Mr.. Casserly argued that Summers mo-
ton to substitute the civil rights bill for the
amnesty bill was contrary TO parliamentary
law and ought not TO be entertained.
Mr.. Blair opposed the civil rights bill on
its merits.
Mr.. Morton replied.
Mr.. Wilson and Flanagan followed In
favor of Summers bill and Stevenson against
it.
Mr.. Ferry, of Connecticut, opposed the
bill as unnecessary and vicious. He moved

The Democratic Convention yesterday
was a magnificent success. Early in the
day before yesterday the delegates began to
pour in, and they came and still continued
to come on each succeeding train until the
hour Of converting the Convention arrived.
1t is impossible for us, sfter the late hour
of adjournment last night, to say anything
more Of the personeI of the Convention
than: We have never seen one more re-
spectacle in appearance and more decorous
in conduct. We have never seen but one more
numerously attended. There were present,
age and experience hand in hand with youth
and energy. The one seeming to lean on
the other, and both satisfied that each would
be improved by the association. There
were some clouds in the morning. There
were fears Of discord in a mere matter of
policy, but all questions were happily re-
ferred to committee of the highest order
of talent, selected on the spur of the mo-
ment. Free discussion was permitted in
the committee room and after the report Of
the committee, the free-est discussion
was permitted in general convention. Not
only that, but a separate vote was called
and taken on each resolution by the COM
mittee. The result was an overwhelming
approval Of each proposition in detail. We
may add that the acquiescence in the result
by the minority was as graceful as the tri-
umph of the majority was decided. The
resolutions speak more potently for them
selves than we can speak for them. What
ever difference of opinion there may have
been as to the language in which the senti-
ment of the Convention was expressed,
there can be no doubt that the Convention
was opposed to an independent Democrat
ic ticket, and in favor of the Democracy
giving their cordial support to the Cincin-
natl ticket.

The Navy TO be Reftted.
WASHINGTON, May Sit is known that
our Minister to Madrid viii soon be with
drawn, butno successor win be appointed
until, as was recently said by a high exec
utive officer, Spain shall be more disposed
thanShe is now to act with Justice and &C
coEding to treaty obligations. Although
war is not regarded as even probable there
is an increasing desire that our navy shall
be placed in an efficient condition and
therefore the authorities here may before
long issue orders to the several navy yards
to fSaCe all our available vessels in a sea-
goilfg condition. The case of DR.. Howard
may cause further irritation and give occa-
sion for more determined policy towards
Spain.
Cotton Claims.
The Court of Claims yesterday decided
sixteen cotton cases aggregating awards to
the amount of 1858, 719.
The Tariff and Tax Prospect.
A number Of members of Congress ex-
press the opinion Chat no tariff bill win be
passed during the present session, but that

~ Is to retain taxes only on spirituOus,
rmented and malt liquors, banks and

Congress win adjourn by the 29th of May.

Patriotic Land Iohhera-

Mr.. Stoughton, from the Military Com
mittee, reported back bill that was re-
committed last evening, allowing transfer
able land warrants for homesteads to dis
charged soldiers, and moved the previous
question.
a motion to lay on the table was mega
lived by 81 to 119.
Without further action on the bill, the
House went into Committee of the whole,
Schofeld in the chair, on the tariff and tax
bill. After an hours discussion on the
question of
Salt,
the question came up on Buffers amend
ment, that salt actually use in the curing
and preserving of fish be admitted free of
duty
Farnsworth moved to amend the amend
ment by adding the words: "Butter and
meats ofall kinds"-adOpted 68 to Is.
Duke moved to amend by adding the
words cor as fertilizers"-adopted 20 to So.
Buffers amendment, as thus amended
was then rejected GO to 70.
MIR. Kerr spoke in favor of putting chicory
on the free list, alleging that to tax chic
DRY and to put coffee on the free list was to
make a gross discrimination against the
poor who alone used chicory.
Mr.. Maynard minated that the argu-
ment of Mr.. Kerr was in favor of two New
ork importing houses that had the whole
trade of importing chicory.
MIR. Kerr characterized Mr.. Maynard's
statement as baseless, and said that it might
as well be said that the abolition of duties
on tea and coffee was for the benefit of i'm
pOrters.
Mr.. Banks said that his object in oppos-
ing the reduction of the duty on chicory
was because it was used for a fraudulent
purpose, for the adulteration of coffee.
Mr.. Maynard moved to make the duty
on chicory three cents a pound. Mega
tived.
Mr.. Banks moved to make it two cents
instead of four cents, the present rate.
After further discussion, an amendment
was agreed to, that "on chicory root,
ground or unground, one cent per pound"
The committee then rose, after having
disposed, so far, of but twenty lines of the
bill.
South Carolina.
The South. Carolina contested election
case was taken up, and Mr.. Wallace, the
sitting member, was declared entitled to
the seat, and the contestant was allowed
81, l54 for his expenses.
