Meeting of the Grant Republican Con-
ventiOn-Delegates Elected.

Special to the Appeal
JACKSON, Miss, May 1.-The Re
publican State Convention met to-
day to appoint delegates to the Phila-
delphia Convention. The proceedings
thus far have been attended with the
utmost confusion. Mr.. Warner, chair
man of the State Executive COMMITTEES,
called Mr.. Conor to order, and in ac-
eordanee with the custom, nomi-
mated a temporary chairman. The
nomination was laid ON the table.
Morgan was made temporary chairman.
In appointing the Committee on Organ
ization, Gibbs, Warner and Eggleston,
leading carpetbaggers, were appointed
as members, and refused to serve. Gibbs
made a long speech, and warned the
negroes that they could not run the
convention, and they had better not at
tempt. A permanent organization was
finally effected by making Morgan the
President. 1t is decided triumph OF
the negroes over the earpetbaggers.
About half the convention are negroes.
It was agreed to let the delegations from
the Congressional Districts select dele
gates to the National Convention. All
the Congressman are here looking after
their interests. The Congressional Dis
trict Conventions are to be reorgan-
lied. jim Lynch, the negro Secre-
tary Of State, is spoken of as
taking McKee's place in Congress from
this district, and the proposition meets
with great favor. The negroes indicate
that they want some of the spoils of Of
fee, and are ready to overthrow the car
petbagger without ceremony. They
are now in session, and a stormy time
is expected tonight. .
To-day, the thirty-third anniversary of
of the Fire Department in this city, was
celebrated in appropriate style.

p o. ORDERS s-The following is a
list Of the reduced rates of commission
on money orders issued fy the Post
Office Department OF the United States:
Orders from 81 to SO, five cents; or
ders not exceeding $40, ten cents
over $50 and under $50, fifteen cents
over $50 and not exceeding SIC, twenty
cents over $40 and not exceeding $50,
twenty-five cents.
The Postmaster General has revised
his former decision as TO the class of
postal matter in which engravings,
ehromos, &o. should properly be placed
Hereafter all such matter may be sent
BY mail ut the rate of one cent for
each two ounces, and in packages
weighing less than four pounds. 1t
will be remembered that the former
decision was TO the effect that the arr
publications were not "printed mat
tor within tho meaning of the statute.
2be reversal Of the former opinion
was procured by the joint efforts Of
the art dealers OF Boston, New York
and Philadelphia, but the largest share
of the benefit will be reaped by the
small dealers who order ty mail, and
the thousands Of country purchasers
who receive popular art publications
IN the same way.

each Senatorial district. From the
returns received at Harrisburg il ap-
pears that the Republicans have ma
sorlty of 8 10 The convention. Many
able men, from both parties have been
chosen delegates, 40 that we have n
right TO expect n constitution much
improved on our present one, as many
parts of that has become almost obso.

1t is generally supposed that the Con
