 The Reform Convention which met at New York, last week, was notable body of men, greatly superior to the average political convention, and one which may have lasting influence on the politics of the county. Among the representatives present from Connecticut were Judges Fosterand McCurdy. David A. Wells, Pres ident Woolsey, Dr. Bacon, Pres. Cum- mings; and. from this county, Messrs John T. Adams, and Nathan Hart, of Corn Wall. No positive action was taken beyond the adoption of an excellent set of resolutions threatening both great parties with third nomination in case of their selection of unworthy candidates. There is strong feeling among the better class of citizens against the domination of the profession al politician, and this movement shows their determination to have reform either within or without present party lines.

Success In AdUertist1g.

In times past it was thought immodest to
proclaim the excellence OF ones go0ds, or to
solicit patronage for them in new spapers.
During the past twenty-five years through
the immense competition in trade. 1t has be
come q necessity. The public are always
desir0us to avoid all frauds. as they have
become skeptical of an article possessing
genuine merit and are particularly preju-
diced against sterling announcements OF
some new and wonderful nodine without
character or worth. Still the, public are
grateful TO manufacturers or inventors OF ar
ticles OF merit, even II known az medicines; |;
many OF them are the result OF years of care
ful study by our most eminent chemists and
physicians, and embrace such principles and
productions as Qulnine, Chloroform, Chloral
Hydrate, Porous plasters, &c.
Success in advertising depends much upon
the intrinsic worth OF the article 1t elf even
though 1t be medical preparation. As an
evidence OF this, q celebrated physician OF
New York made great improvem ent in Por-
Gus Plasters by adding CAPCINE on account
OF its giving Increased effect and quicker re-
lief and cure than any known medicical
property; he hesitated about advertising,
fearing his reputation would be injured. A

BILLY BELkNAP.
Blair opens Argument for Defense md
Pleads Want Of Jurisdiction.
Lord Argued the Question Was Settled by
Law, Senators Voting Against Iurisdlc-
ton Being Bound by the Vote
Of tho Majority,

WASHINGTON, July 20.--.The morn
ing hour having expired, the consider
alton OF the articles Of impeachment
against ex-Secretary Belknap was re.
sumed. Mr.. Blair, Of counsel, opened
the defence by holding that impeach
ment should be dismissed, on the
ground that more than one.third Of
the Senate voted against II, lie could
not account for the perslstency OF this
prosecution, unless the Managers ex-
pected that the Senators who voted
against jurisdiction would stulslfy
themselves and vote for conviction
now.
Mr. Robertson thought such lam
guage towards Senators was very hard.
Mr. Blair explained. lie did not
mean to be personal towards Senators,
he only spoke of the action of the
Managers AS having the appearance
that they expected the Senators would
stultify themselves by voting for the
conviction of the defendant. He
then reviewed the articles Of impeach-
ment at length, and In conclusion again
argued that his client should be dis
missed because there was not legal
two.thirds vote of the Senate assent
ing to the jurisdiction.
Mr.. Merriman submitted two ques.
tions, which he said he would like to
hear: discussed by counsel. First,
was u Senator, dissenting on the ques'
ton OF Jurisdiction, not bound by the
majority just as u dissenting judge
ON the Supreme court bench was
bound by majority; and second, what
was meant by the term conviction IN
the constitution, whether there could
be conviction without disqualification
of holding office.
Mr.. Blair replied that Senator vot-
ing In the minority was not bound by
the majority, and quoted from the
twelfth Peters in support OF his argu-
ment. In regard TO the second ques-
ton, he expressed the opinion that
there could be conviction without dis
qualification to hold office, though he
had not examined into the matter
carefully.
After some discussion rs to whether
manager should go on with the argu'
ment on the side Of the prosecution
In absence OF Mr.. Carpenter, who wa'
to reply, Senate, sitting as court, on
motion Conkling, took u recess foi
ten minutes. Upon reassemUling II
was announced that Manager Latham,
who was assigned to open for the prose
cution, was too sick TO go on to-day
His place was taken by Manager Lord

who commented ON tho effect OF the
vote OF less than two.thirds OF the Sem
ate IN favor OF Jurisdiction, aud argued
that ON the Impeachment, OF Judge
Blsnford various Senators, who voted
against jurisdiction, voted In favor oi
his conviction. Tho question Cf)uris.
dlclion In this case had bean decided
according 10 law, and was binding up.
ON Senators. He quoted various legal
authorities In support OF his Views, aud
when he concluded the Senate, sitting
M court, adjourned until Tomorrow.
