Second Days Proceedings.
CHATTANOOGA, October 1.-THE cohven-
ton was called to order at 10 A. M. by Gen.
eral Neill. Of Texas, one of the vice pres,.
dents.
The chairman of the committee on facte
and statistics desired to receive reports OF
outrages.
Eounced that they were ready to report.
They read letter from Ex-Governor Davis,
of Texas, and one from Mr. Brewster. OF
Alabama.
The letter Of Governor Davis was very
long, occupying an hour in its delivery, and
was q labOred effort to prove that the same
spirit actuated the white portion of the
Southern people as in 1860 and 1861, and
that new rebellion was forming. In re-
gard to corruption. he said Kellogg and
Moses might be corrupt, but knowing the
Democrats as he did, their assertions to
that effect was proof TO the contrary in his
mind. He thought Summers plan OF wipinx
out State lines in the South the wisest. bus
that it was impossible. lie favored compui-
sorry education By Congress- and . promp:
relief when the State offices are seized by
fraud and corruption.
The North Carolina delegation. W. y.
Canaday and George ". Price. reported
and took their seats.
An address from Mr. Brewster, OF Monro..
Louisiana, was read to the effect that the
great want Of the South is popular educs
ton. which should be eustsined by Con
gress and which should teach morality and
obedience 60 law. not 70 admire SssassinA
and murderers. Equal rights and Justice
20 all should be maintained.
