Judge Stanley Matthews will be tern porary chairman of the Convention, Nothing further is settled. Davis stock is advancing, though the Illinois delegation is much divided; but at a meeting it was agreed that Davis should have half the vote, and the rest scatter between Trumbull and Palmer. MORE ABOUT THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION. Washington, April 30.—The following is gathered from various telegrams from Cincinnati: All the Southern delegates held a con ference last evening to consider the sub ject of a permanent Chairman ot the Convention, and it was nnanimously re solved that Qarl Schnrz was the man most fitted to preside over its deliberations. CARL SCHURZ EMPTIES HIS POCKET. That gentleman made a half hour .speech at Tutner Hall, last night. The hall was crowded to excess. He denied the accusation that he had boasted of •currying the German vote in his pocket. He never said it and never had thought it. The Germans possessed honest convictions, and were capable of ex pressing them through the ballot, and did he cany the German ballots in his pocket, he would treasure them up against the day of reckoning, that was coming for the corrupt officials now in power. imboden’s battery. The TForW says General Imboden has sent a very strong letter here from Vir ginia, in which he reviews the political prospect in the South, and estimates the success of the Liberal ticket there should Horace Greeley be the nominee. He believes that Greeley would get all the old Whig vote of the South, and nearly the whole white native voting popula tion. WHICH OF THE THREE. Private and press telegrams from Cin cinnat, allude particularly to the great- excitement over the nomination. The friends of Davis, Adams and Trumbull, are working with the most intense earn estness, and it is adjudged by some of the special reports, thut now is the criti cal time of the Convention. IN AN ANGRY MOOD. The Tribune special, dated yesterday, says there is the usual angry talk familii r to every old attendant at National Con ventions, and all the angrier in propor tion to the general faith in the intrinsic strength of the party. GO HOME BY THE NEST TRAIN. Unless the demand of certain sections or certain reliefs are gratified, they will go home by the next train. There is to be the usual declaration that certain States are absolutely essen tial to success, and that these cannot be secured without the most overwhelmning concessions; that this or that interest most be conciliated to avoid the ceftainty of disaster; that this or that candidate can day says: “There is every indication of the nomination of Davis on the first bal lot, or the alternative of a row.” ILLINOIS AND OTHER' NOISE FOB DAVIS. Cincinnati, April 30.—At a general meeting of the Illinois delegation this afternoon a committee was appointed to recommend the permanent delegates to the Conveution to vote for Jndge Davis. The meeting was large and somewhat ex cited. Cincinnati, May 1.—The Minnesota delegation stands 9 for Trumbull and 2 for Davis. The Southern States are all represent ed, but the Northern and Middle States make much the larger show. Several prominent Democrats are Lere watching the progress of affairs. Illinois is here in full force. The Revenue plank is unfixed. THE GATHERING OF THE. CLANS. A few delegates are leisurely drifting in and taking their seats. Reporters are "beginning to fill the place assigned to them. Spectators are gathering into the front galleries and on the platform—some ladies being among them. The hall.is spacious tind well arranged; but its acoustic qualitities are defective. THE FIRST STEP FORWARD. Cincinnati, May 1.—Judge WilliamB. Caldwell, President of the Cincinnati Reunion and Reform Association, called the Convention to Order, and nominated Judge J. B. Stallo, of Cincinnati, tem porary President. Judge Stallo, upon appearing upon the stage, was received with considerable applause. His speech indicated full harmony with the National Convention that old arm chair. The small arm chair, sent hither for the use of the President of the Conven tion, was occupied by John Adams when he signed the Declaration of Indepen dence. It is quite plain, black, with gilt decorations, and upholstered with snuff-colored reps. DINNA YE HEAR THE PIBROCH ? Playing by a brass band from St. Louis, stationed near the door, was the signal for a general entrance of delegates. Among them were several colored jmen from the Southern States. THE LOOKERS-ON IN VIENNA. The floor of the hall was nearly filled by delegates. There is but a meagre at tendance of spectators, of whom there are not more than 400 in the. galleries, which should accommodate2,500. Groups gathered in various parts of the House, in animated conversation, evi dently discussing still unsettled points of difference. FENTON MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS. It is authoritatively stated that Fenton left town this morning. His friends are mysteriously reserved as to the reasons of his departure. COL. GBOSVENEB, OF ST. LOUIS, called the Convention to order, and in a brief speech claimed the great importance of the Convention, that it is the largest, in number of delegates, and, be trusted, representatives of the people, ever as sembled. That sentiment which always does, and always shall, rule the country, the wisdom of this Convention and the will of the people at the next fall elec tion will make more successful, ALT, as ONE, GENTLEMEN, ALL AS ONE. He said he need not make the usual appeal for harmony to men who abandon connection with a successful party to stake their political futnre upon this movement for reform. He nominated for temporary Chair man Jndge Stanley Matthews, of Ohio. Carried unanimously. TOO FULL FOB UTTERANCE. Jqdge Matthews said: It is no idle af fectation when I say it is impossible to express the deep sensibility with which I receive and accept the unexpected hon or conferred upon me. I am unprepared to preface the as sumption of the duties of the chair, w.th such remarks as are appropriate to the occasion. THE MAIN QUESTION. The main thiug and that which we set above all else is, that the time has come when it is the voice of a large and influential portion of the people that they be not dogs to wear the collar of party. [Cheers. J We who have heretofore been members of the Repub lican party need not be ashamed to own the name. The past of the party was commendable in its work of sustaining the Union against secession. Its work had become part of the fundamental law, and, with it, the principle of the equali ty of all before the law had been estab lished. A LITTLE SELF-PRAISE. He considered this Convention, their rebellion against the Republican party, the brightest eulogy of the principles of that party, for it shows tnat that party has high cpnrage to set about the work of reforming itself. [Applause.] LET US HAVE PEACE. Parties can’t live on their past reputa tion. It was because those, ( who control the Republican machinery and principles have deviated from their true purposes. This movement indicates that the war has ended, and peace has come. So ought to end military rule (cheers,) and every thing that keeps alive the embers of the dead past. THE APPORTIONMENT. The convention adjourned until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning, after resolv ing that each State delegation shall elect delegates equal in number to doable the votes of each State in the Electoral Col lege. NEW YORK GOES FOR THE CHAFPAQUA FARMER. The New York delegation had an ex WEIGHED DOWN BY PIG-IRON. An exciting debate arose in the New York delegation this afternoon over a resolution pledging the delegation to vote for Greeley. Some members were opposed to tying the hands of the dele gates, and others, while willing to give Greeley a complimentary vote, were.not desirous of seeing him nominated be cause of his protective theories. Mr. Lloyd protested indignantly, against the resolution, as a violation of the rights of the minority, and raised a storm of dissent, by claiming that tin? very reason why _the Liberals abandoned the Republican organization, was because the majority in it has overruled the mi nority. PUT IN A SUBSTITUTE. ' Finally a substitute was adopted by 99 to 22, that the delegation vote as a unit for Greeley until 20 (?) delegates request a consultation, after which the vote shall be cast as the majority direct. A PUETiTMINABY NOSE COUNTING. Cincinnati, May 2.—The first ballot, as far as known, will stand us follows: New' York for Greeley; Minnesota, 5 for Ad ams, 3 for Greeley, and 3 for Davis ; Ne braska, 4 for Trumbull, 1 for Brown and 1 for Greeley; Vermont for Greeley; Michigan for Adams; Louisiana for Gree ley ; Iowa for Trumbull; Tennessee for Adams,' and Florida for Davis. TREADING ON A VOLCANO. The hall and galleries are well filled. A feeling of uneasiness is expressed by. many in anticipation of the acrimonious discussion to-day. ' An anti-Greeley member from New York, will offer a protest against the ac tion of the majority in voting to cast the vote of the entire delegation for Greeley. An effort is anticipated in the convention to overrule that action, and affirm the right of each delegate to express his in dividual opinion. ENTER THE SOROSISTEBS. Susan B. Anthony and Laura DeForce Gordon entered and took their seats upon the platform amid cheers and hisses. HEBE IE WHERE TROUBLE BEGINS. The Convention was called to order and a committee on credentials was ap pointed, consisting of on§ from each j State and Territory. A committee of nine was appointed on rules. A motion to adjourn until two o’clock was lost. Mr. Hickman, of Pennsylvania, hoped 1 the Convention would sit until a Presi dent was nominated. HELP, CASSIUS 1 » Davis (colored), from Kentucky, op posed business until Cassius M. Clay had jeen heard from. (Great applause.) Finally the convention adjourned until o’clock. Washington, May 1.—Private dis patches from Cincinnati are chaotic. Cincinnati, May 2.—The permanent President of the Reunion land Reform Convention, is R. T. Raney. fenton’s flight a fixed fact. Senator Fenton has certainly departed for home. Various constructions are placed on this sudden move. HEAVY DRAUGHT ON THE LIGHTNING. The quantify of special dispatches sent from this city during the past few days has been without precedent in the histo ry of telegraphy. Eighty thousand words were sent from here. THE FIG IRON ENTANGLEMENT. There is still anxiety among the friends of the Liberal movement in relation to the tariff plank in the platform. On Tuesday night the prospect of an under standing was dark. Yeterday there was a growing feeling that the Convention would decline to declare itself upon this question, but would leave it to tne peo ple in the districts, to settle in accordance with Mr. Greeley’s understood wishes. TO SPEAK OR NOT TO SPEAK, THAT IS THE QUESTION. The Revenue Reformers say if Greeley is nominated they will accept the New York proposition to remand the whole business to the people; but if Greeley should not be nominated, they say they will insist upon a declaration as explicit- as that of the New York calL There is strong feeling that the dif ference will be safely bridged over. A PROTEST. Thirty-one members of the New York delegation have signed a protest against the action of the delegation regarding Greeley. THE GOLDEN AGE-D TILTON. The Committee on rules has elected Theodore Tilton, of New York, Chair man. SOME RULES AND REGULATIONS. Only three States are unrepresented. Each delegate may vote his prefer ence, but only through the Chairman of the delegation. A majority of all the States is neces sary to the choice of a President and Vice President. The yeas and nays are forbidden, but a division may be nad on call of a major ity of the States. A motion to proceed to ballot was ta bled by 557 to 14S. A motion was adopted forbidding bal loting until a platform of principles shall have been declared. The Convention then adjourned until 7 o’clock. tiye; West Virginia, Lemon. PRIVILEGES OP THE T.adtps DENIED. Tne Committee on credentials, report ed against the New York contestants and against the ladies who claimed delegates’ privileges, but, as a courtesv, assigned them seats. THE PLATFORM CMMITTEE IN TROUBLE. The Committee on * Platform are un able to agrqe. Schurz says they will maae no report to-night: It is believed that balloting will be pro ceeded with to night. GRATZ BROWN TO THE RESCUE. ,. lima said that Gratz.Brown will be here fo-niglit t«f withdraw his name as a can didate for the Presidency. This move ment looks to Brown for Vice President. .A BITE AT THE APPLE OF DISCORD. L The chair ‘announced that the Platform Committee had agreed upon a tariff reso lution by a large majority. The Convention is considering Rhodes’ tariff resolution. * Cassius M. Clay deprecated raising the question, which tie pronounced the apple of discord, which -should not be introduced here. WANTS A FAIR FIGHT. Stanley Matthews urged that it was impolitic to take the question out of the hands of the Platform Committee, which was chosen expressly to secure a careful deliberation on all points of policy; but if we must have a fight, let us have a fair one. He concluded by proposing the Missouri tariff plank. [Applause.] On motion of Mr. Atkinson, of Massa chusetts, Rhodes’ resolution was tabled by a large majority. j The presentation of candidates was then again ordered, and a motion to ad- jour :i until 10 o’clock, to-morrow, was adopted! CARL SCHURZ SPEAKS TTTS PIECE. Carl Schurz, on taktng the chair, re ferred briefly to the puposes for which the Convention met, and said the Re public might congratulate itself that such a meeting is possible. He spoke of corruption as the natural outgrowth of a protracted civil war, which was invading the public service of the Government, and said that part of onr common coun try which has been convulsed by a disas- choice of bis favorite. Many of us will have to be disappointed; but, in this sol emn hour, our hearts should know but one favorite, and that is the American Republic.. THE WRANGLING AND THE JANGLING. Cincinnati, May 3.—Cassius M. Clay and Judge Matthews addressed the Con vention last night. The proposition to nominate caused confusion,. several desiring to speak. The Conveution disregarded the gavel. The Conveution is divided—one party desiring the plat’orm, the other the can didate to have precedence. Parliament ary tactics prevented business, and after vehement discussion the Convention adjourned to 10 o’clock to-day. gkeeley’s pig-iron position popular. Greeley’s tariff platform, leaving the people to speak through their representa tives regarding tariff, dominates. THE PLATFORM. The Resolutions declare the equality of all men before the law; union of the States; no reopening of the questions settled by the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments; the removal of the disabilities incurred in the re bellion; general amnesty; local self- government; the supremacy of the civil over the military authorities; respect for the habeas corpus; return to the methods of peace; maintenance of the constitu tional limitations of power; civil service reform; single term for the Presidency; a system of Federal taxation which shal not unnecessarily interfere with the in dustry of the people; and, as there are honest irreconcilable differences of opin ion as to the merits respectively of the systems-of PROTECTION AND FREE TRADE, that question is remitted to the people in their Congressional districts, (wild cheering) and the decision of Congress thereon to be wholly free of Executive in terference or dictation; maintenance of the public credit against repudiation in every form; a speedy return to specie payments; recognition of the services and sacrifices of soldiers and sailors; against further grants of lands to rail roads or other corporations; in foreign relations the duty of the Government is to cultivate friendship, demanding noth ing not right and submitting to nothing [A voice, “Three cheers for the trous rebellion was suffering most griev-t*? 0 ^- voice, -xuree cueej onsly from the effects of the war; thatfDeclaration of Independence. ] the hauglityspirit of power refused to lift ' those who had gone astray by a policy generous and conciliatory, and the states manship of common sense. TT ATT. TO THE CHIB?. The Convention assembled at 7 o’clock SNUFFETH THE VICTORY FROM AFAR. Great wrongs are being perpetrated by the party in power, and this assemblage of American freemen means that these things will no longer be endured. The consciences of the people, which seemed dead, have arisen. From every point of - the compass the breath of victory is in the very air which surrounds us. We have a gland opportunity before uis. We can give a Republic a pure and honest Gov ernment, but can only do so by throwing behind ns the selfish spirit of politicians, small bickerings and mean aspirations. HIS SORT OF A PLATFORM!. As to our platform, we shall be wise enough to keep in mind those things which a republic stands most in need of. Let us only, in what we promise to the people, be straightforward, and not at tempt to cheat those whom we ask to follow our lead by deceitful representa tions. WHAT MANNER OF MEN. As to the men whom we shall present for the high offices of the government, let us, I entreat yon, not lose sight of the fact that great reforms, the over throw of inveterate abuses, and the estab lishment of a better order of things are not accomplished by mere promises and declarations, but by wise and energetic action of statesmen. If you mean reform, entrust the work to none but those who understand it, and honestly care more for it than for their own personal ends. HE WANTS BUT LITTLE HEBE BELOW. I earnestly deprecate the cry of “any body to beat Grant.” There is some thing more wanted than to beat Grant. We don’t want a mere change of persons in the administration of the Government, We want the overthrow of a pernicious system. We want a Government which the best people of the country will be proud of. If we fail to select men who will carry out the reforms we contem plate, it would be better had thss move ment never been undertaken. ABOUT AVAILABILITY. Numbers greatly mistake the spirit of this day. What the people now most earnestly demand is, not that good inten tions, bat that a superior intelligence, coupled with a superior virtue, should guide onr affairs; not that merely an honest and popular man, bat that a statesman be put at the helm of our Gov ernment. In selecting candidates for offices, poli ticians are accustomed to discuss ques tions of availability. What does availa bility mean in our case? Let us look for the best men we have, and among the very best let us select the strongest. THE PEOPLE, AH, THE PEOPLE. If we present men tc the suffrages of the people whose character and names appeal to the loftiest instincts of patriot citizens, we shall have on our side that which ought to be, and now, I trust, will be the ruling arbiter of the politi cal contest. If that .be done, success will be certain, and we shall not 'appeal in vain for sup port to those of our fellow-citizens who, hitherto, were seperated from ns by par ty divisions, who desire honestly to work for the best interest of the country in this crisis, and whom we Shall welcome with fraternal greeting in they struggle and Carl Schurz was elected permanent for great causes, whether the call them- Presideut, and a Vice President selected from each State and Territory. Amid great applause Schurz advanced, the band playing “ Hail to the Chief,” and made speech. THE VICES. The Yice Presidents from the South aie as follows: Alabama, Thos. Lamar; Arkansas, Underwood; Georgia, R. L. selves Democrats or Republicans. WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP BUT A NAME? Personal friendship and State pride are nobie sentiments; but what is per sonal friendship—what is State pride compared with the great duty we owe to onr common country and the awful re sponsibility resting on our actions? As sensible men, we know that not ev- Mott; Lousiana, De La Size; North|ery one of us can be gratified by the TRIUMPHANTLY UNANIMOUS. Great cries of “question” overwhelmed a few who tried to get the floor to speak. The chair put the question , and the report was adopted, with loud and con tinued cheering. The chair announced the vote to be unanimous. IN LABOR. The next order of business, was stated by the Chair, to he the,nomination of a candidate for President. Without a for mal presentation of candidates the rol of tlie States was as follows. The result of the 1st ballot was, Adams 203; Trum bull 108; Davis 921; Greeley 147; Brown 98; Curtin 62; Chase 2J; Sumner 1. On the 1st ballot New York gave Gree ley 66; Adams 2. Massachusetts gave Adams 22; Trumbull 4. Ohio gave Adams 44. Illinois gave Trumbull 21 Davis 21. GRATZ BROWN RETIRES IN FAVOR OF GBFiKT . Before the vote was announced, Gratz Brown, by unanimous-consent, took the stand and thanked his friends for their support of him, but withdrew his name and asked his friends to support Horace Greeley. [Great cheers, with many per sistent hisses.] The chair arose to an nounce the vote, when a Missouri dele gate rose to A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE, and asked to change his vote. Conside rable discussion ensued—various dele gations asking to change their votes, and contention arising in some of them—no tably Kentucky—as to what the changes, among themselves, really were, Cassius M. Clay announced Kentucky’s vote was changed 5 from Brown to Greeley, and 1 from Brown to Adams. New Jersey changed some of her votes. The chair announced THE RESULT to he Adams 203; Trumbull 110; Davis 92J; Greeley 147; Brown 95; Curtin 62; Chase 2£. The whole number of votes is 614; necessary to a choice 308. NO CHOICE BEING MADE Missouri asked leave to retire for con sultation. Yice president Julian took the chair, and Casey, from the District of Columbia, offered a resolution giving votes to the Territories—tabled. THE CURTIN DRAWN ASIDE.. McClure withdrew Curtin’s name and asked leave for the Pennsylvania delega tion,to retire. Granted and the proceedings were suspended until the return of the absent delegation. It is understood that Pennsylvania will go to Greeley as soon as they have satisfied their obligations to Davis, or whenever it is necessary to defeat Adams. THE SECOND BALLOT resulted as follows: Greeley 209; Adams 243; Trumbull 148; Davis 81; Brown 2; Chase 1. Subsequently California changed from Davis to Greeley. BIRTH OP THE ENFANT TERRIBLE. Cincinnati, May 3.—On the sixth bal lot the Illinois chairman announced 27 for Adams [cheers]; 14 for Greeley, and 1 fox Trumbull. The chair announced Adams 324; Gree ley 332; Trumbnll 19; Davis 6; Chase 32; Palmer L Before the vote was formally an nounced, Minnesota changed from Trum bull to Greeley. Yarious other States changed their votes, but amid scenes of such confusion and noise that it was im possible for the reporters to hear. Ap parently GREET,EY WAS NOMINATED. McClure changed Pennsylvania to 50 for Greeley and 6 for Davis. [Great cheers.] Indiana changed to 27 tor Adams. A stampede of changes to Greeley here occurred, but the noise and confusion rendered it impossible to hear the de tails. Illinois changed solid to Greeley, ex cept one delegate, who insisted on voting for Trumbull.* THE CHILD IS NAMED HORACE GREELEY. The Chair finally announced the whole vote 714; necessary to a choice, 358. Adams, 187; Greeley, 482; and Greely was declared nominated. RECAPITULATION.

GRATZ BROWN FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. For Yice-President Gratz Brown was elected on the second ballot. The vote was: Brown 435; Julian 175; “Walker 75; Tipton 3; Palmer 8. The convention then adjourned sine die. A COUPLE OP SIDE SHOWS. The Union and Reform Association has fully organized. They want to se- ^ cure State rights; they want a man for President who can be a soldier in war and a citizen in peace. Their movement is for Trumbull, for President, and some • Southern man for Yice-President. The Irish American League is in ses sion here, sitting with closed doors. It is said that the league opposes Adams and favors Greeley. HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN WASH INGTON. Washington, May 3.—Intense interest prevailed here during the day, with refer ence to events in Cincinnati, not only in Executive and Legislative circles, but throughout the city. Inquiries were constantly made as to the latest intelli gence from the Convention. The pro gress of the balloting seemed to add, if possible, to the excitement everywhere, the news spreading with remarkable ra pidity. Those in the Executive Departments heard it at the same time that it became known in Congress. The telegrams an nouncing the nomination of Horace Greeley, were read with surprise, as pre vious private telegrams foreshadowed a different result. Republicans, not in sympathy with the Convention, express themselves as not alarmed at the selection, while the Dem ocrats say their National Convention, to meet on the 4th of July, will define the position of the Democratic party. The news of the nomination interrupt ed for some time the proceedings of the House—members gathering in front of the Speaker’s desk to hear the latest intelr ligence. There were similar exhibitions in the Senate, while Mr. Casserly was speaking. That gentleman, referring to the inatten tion to business, moved that an adjoun- ment take place until the Cincinnati Con vention was over. The excitement subsided with the an nouncement that Gratz Brown had been nominated for Yice President. To-night gentlemen of all parties are discussing the effect of the proceeding of the convention on the public mind. HOW RICHMOND RECEIVED IT. Richmond, Ya., May 3.—The newspa per bulletins have been surrounded by crowds thisj&ftemoon, eager for news from the Cincinnati Convention. The announcement of the nomination of Gree ley and Brown gives very general satis faction to the Conservatives and Liberal Republicans, who think it the strongest ticket that could have been selected. The State Journal, the administration ] Grant] paper, thinks Greeley the most vulnerable man that the Liberals could have nominated. HOW WILMINGTON RECEIVED IT. Wilmington, N. 0., May 3.—The nom ination of Greeley and Brown is very fa vorably received by the Conservatives and Democrats here. It is generally con ceded that Greeley is less objectionable to the South than any candidate brought before the convention, with the exception, perhaps, of Judge Davis. ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLU TIONS. Cincinnati, May 3.—The administra tion now in power has rendered itself guilty of wanton disregard of the use of powers not granted by the Constttntion. It has acted as if the laws had binding force only for those who are governed, and not for those who govern. It has, bus, struck a blow at the fundamental tprinciples of constitutionrl Government and the liberties of the citizen. The President of the United States has openly used the powers and opportu nities of his high office for the promo tion of personal ends. He has kept np- toriously corrupt and unworthy men in places of power and responsibility to the detriment of public interests. He has used the publib service of the Govern ment as the machinery of partisan and personal influence, and interfered with tyrannical arrogance in the political affairs of States and municipalities. He has rewarded, with influential and lucra tive offices, men who have acquired his favor by valuable presents, thus stimula ting the demoralization of our political life. By his conspicuous example he has shown himself deplorably unequal to the tasks imposed upon him by the country, and culpably careless of the responsibili ties of his high office. The partizans of the Administration, assuming to be the Republican party, and controlling its organization,have attempt ed to justify such wrongs and palliate such abuses, to the end of maintaining the position of ascendancy. They have stood in the way ot necessary investiga tion and iudiapensable reforms, pretend ing that no serious fault could be found with the present administration of public affairs, thus seeking to blind the eyes of [Continuedon Eighth 1 age.)
