CINCINNATI, May 2.-The Reunion and
Reform Convention appears very consid.
erably overshadowed by the Liberal Re.
publican body, which this morning is in
session at the same hour. The delegates
at the former were slow in assembling.
AT 10 o'clock, the hour to'which the adj.
journment had been made, about 100 per-
sons were present 80 =.
Athali-past 10 o'clock Judge Stallo, the
temporary chairman, called the Conven.
ton to order, and announced as the first
business the report Of the Committee on
Permanent Organization and Rules Of
Order.
The chairman of the committee, Judge
Robert Warden, had risen TO submit the
report when Rev. Thomas Vickers said
that 1t was apparent that the other body
was just now engrossing the attention,
and In view Of the smallness Of the mum.
Der present. he would move recess until
S.oclock this afternoon. ~.
This was opposed by Rev. Chauncey
Barnes and others, who said he thought It
would not be well to take a recess on &C.
count oil the smallness Of the number. The
Lord was not always on the side Of the
greatest numbers. He thought they could
spend an hour in interchanging views
very proftably, and would return this
afternoon with better understanding of
their purposes. They might draw the
larger body to them rather than be drawn
there, The motion to take recess pre-.
vailed, though with number Of negative
votes - slr.z5ss-s -.
The report on the permanent organiza.
ton will be presented on reassembling
this afternoon. II will declare that while
much oil the machinery of ordinary con.
ventions can be dispensed with, the Com.
mittee woulddsuggest that this assembly
ought to watch with care all the proceed.

the design of ratiiying them with or with

but OF dealing with them as they appeared
to merit and to aid them, il they seemed
entitled to- such. assistance. With this
view the report will recommend Com.

and English by persons ready to perform
such service, so'that q better understand.
