NASHVILLE, Jan. 26.-The Convention
met at noon to-day. Gov. Brown refused to
allow his name to again be presented before
the Convention. The 55th ballot was as fol-
lows johnson, So; Henry, IL; Stephens, % ;
Key, 8; Ewing, 9. The President declared
Andrew johnson elected u. s. Senator,
amidst the widest excitement and enthu-
siasnl.
The enthusiasm and excitement over the
election of Hon. Andrew johnson, to the
U. S. Senate to-day, is beyond description.
He made thirty minutes speech, to 10000
people on the Public Square this evening,
announcing his adherence to the Democrat
ic principles as set forth in his administra-
ton. Rumors on the streets and at the hO-
tells this afternoon, state that he had made
concessions to the Republican members OF
the Legislature for their votes. He denies
emphatically of having made concessions
in any form, or entering into an under
standing with other candidates of the op-
position, and that he was elected upon the
broad platform of the Constitution and ad-
ministration Of the laws as enunciated by
the national Democracy.

The election for delegates to the Consti-
tutional Convention, which meets at Jeffer-
son City in May, occurred to-day.
A mass meeting of ladies was held here
tonight, in the Mercantile Library build
ing, to consider thefquestion Of sending a
Constitutional Convention, to meet at JET
ferson City, in May. Mrs. Francis Minor,
one of the Oldest and most prominent advo-
Gates Of Woman's Suffrage in this city,
made speech, in which she cited to many
instances of the injustice of the laws as they
affect women, and claimed that as the ques-
tion of framing the organic law Of the State
having been referred by the Constitution it.
self back to the people, and not to the voters
merely, the women, rs much as the men,
have right to take part in the proceed
ings. The progress Of the age having abol-
ished all legal distinctions between
man and man, the same course
must be persued with respect to
women; that no class of people should be
free whose freedom is not guarded by Con-
stitutional guarantees. On these IAN other
grounds it was claimed that women have a
right TO participate in framing the funda-
mental laws of the State, and therefore are
entitled to seats in the Constitutional CON-
yentiOn. Speeches were also made BY Rev.
John Snyder, Rev. ]. c. Learned, Maj. ].
B. Merwin, and one or two ladies, all tax
ing the same grounds, and declaring that
women should be represented in thsconven-
tion. The following delegates were excited :
Mrs. Frances Minor, Miss Phoebe w. Cous-
ins and Mrs. Ed. Felley. Power was given
them to add to their number.
A committee was also appointed to issue
an address to the women of Missouri, urg-
ing them to take a similar action in the
various Senatorial districts of the State,
and send delegates to the convention. This
consists of Mrs. Francis Minor,
Mrs. Prof. Dickinson, Mrs. jackson, Rev.
Jos. Snyder, and Maj. Wormer. The ac-
tiOn Of this meeting is novel, and it is said
to be the first time in this country that
women have met in mass meeting and
sent delegates to a Constitutional Conven-
ton to demand seats therein, and the
right to participate in forming the organic
law of the State.

singing the following, which is dear to
every true Scots heart:

clothier, John Seeker.
All who stand in need of warm and sub
stantial clothing this cold weather, would
do well not to overlook the following lines,
and act accordingly:
In order to facilitate the closing out OF
the entire bankrupt stock OF clothing, John
has leased the corner of Fifth and Shawnee
streets-the Oak Hall-and also keeps run
ming his old stand, 800 Shawnee. The
stock must he closed out BY the 1st of
March, at some price or other. The parties
interested in it from Philadelphia, have

John has accepted, and the remainder of the
goods will arrive in 4 few DAYS. Such an
enterprise in times like these, where the far
mer, mechanic and laborer can supply them
selves with good, substantial clothing and
underwear at about half their actual value,
is tru'y commendable, and should, and un-
doubtedly will, be highly appreciated by all
of our citizens. Although it was not gener-
ally known that last Saturday was opening
day, the boys, Herman Bruins and John
Roche, who are in charge of the establish
ment, disposed of over $500 worth of goods,
when everybody else was complaining of
dull business. There is, to say the least, as
much charity in such an enterprise as in
