Mr. Davis states that he has expressed no opinion in the mat ter. PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. Beading, Pennsylvania., May 30. — The Democratic Convention has con vened. R. B. Brown is Tem porary Chrirman. The Committees on Platform and Permanent Organization were appointed, and a recess taken. Later—Bnckalew was nominated for Governor on the 7th ballot, and the nom ination was then made unanimous. The Convention then adjourned till 10, a.m.,‘ tomorrow. Nothing on Greeley yet WARMOTH RENOMINATED. New Orleans, La., May 30.—Pinch- back’s Bepnblican Convention nomina ted Warmoth for Governor and Pinch- back for Lieut Governor. It passed a resolution indorsing the administration of Warmoth, and ad journed to meet Jnne 19th, at Baton Kouge. After adjournment, Pinchback made a speech, stating that he would support the nominee of the Philadelphia Convention at all hazards. THE LIBERAL REFORMERS. Boston Mass., May 29.—The meeting of the Liberal Beforin Convention here is large and enthusiastic. New York, May 30.—James Gordon Bennett is in a very dangerous condition. The sacrament for the dying was admin istered to him yesterday and his son and States, as the foundation and limitation of the powers of the General Govern ment and the safe shield of the liberties I of the people, demands for the citizens the largest freedom consistent with pub lic order, and for every State the right of self-government; that to uphold the former and protect the latter, the De mocracy of Pennsylvania can find no better platform upon which to stand, than the great leading principles enu merated in the inaugural address of President Jefferson and the farewell ad dress of the immortal Jackson. Upon these two great State papers we plant ourselves and enter the contest of 1872. Resolved, That, abused as the public confidence has been, by a long period of mismanagement, waste and fraud, this Convention invokes the co-operation of all citizens of the Commonwealth, in the earnest effort, which the great constitu- ence it represents is about to make, to remove from our State administration, every tail t of political corruption. The interest of every Pennsylvania, is directly and vitally concerned in the eradiction of all unjust and useless practices by which individual fortunes may be created at the public costs, and the attempt to do this, can be made certainly successful by the union of the upright and fair-minded men of all par ties, and by sustaining candidates of un questioned abilities an d unspotted names. Resolved, That this Convention appeals to the people of Pennsylvania for the snpport of the candidate for Governor, whom it has placed in nomination, be cause his election will secure, at once, a correction of existing wrongs and the permanent future piosperity of the State. It asks, for him, support, because he has been nominated,not to subserve the views or promote the interests of any caucus or faction, but to meet the requirements of nrgent and common need; because he fnlly represents, and in his life and char acter fairly illustrates, the true spirit and principles of popular government because he has been an earnest, sincere and efficient opponent of the fraudulent practices and false doctrines of the party that has held power, through many long years of misrepresentation; hecanse he stands pledged, by the recoid of his whole life, to administer his office, if elected, for the benefit, and only for the benefit, of the people; because be can be trusted to secure a careful, economical and responsible control of the agents and officials, and the Treas ary of the Commonwealth; because he can be relied on to withstand unfonnded and unjust demands, to the prejudice of public rights, to oppose, with vigor, the encroachment of powerful corporations, and energetically resist the grant, to ag gregated capital, of privileges which could be used to injure, hamper, and impede the efforts of individ uals iu the various enterprises and fields of labor which the State affords, and because his action in the past is proof that his official -influence will be used hereafter to prevent the mischief of special legislation and to destroy the possibility of procuring the enactment of any statute by the use of money, or any other corrupt means. Resolved, That in presenting the Hon. James Thompson for Judge of the Su preme Court, we have only to invite the consideration of the people to the integ rity, impartiality and pre-eminent legal ability which have characterized the dis charge of his judicial dnties, during his fifteen years of service upon the bench of the Supreme Court. Resolved, That in the persons of the candidates presented! for the offices of Auditor-General, Congressman at large and the details to the Convention to amend the Constitution, we have candi dates eminently worthy of the con fidence and support of the people. Resolved, That the grant, by the [Radi cal Legislature of this State, of nume rous charters creating such corporations as the Southern Improvement Co.. Con tinental Improvement Co., and others of similar character, is nnjnst to the in terest of trade, is dangerous to the rights and liberties of the people, and as such, meets with our unqualified condemna tion. WASHINGTON NEWS. A TRIANGULAR FIGHT FOR VICE. New York, June 2.—The Times spe cial, from Philadelphia, says the New York delegation will be there, entire, on Monday and Tuesday, A. M., and will elect a chairman, select committees, and come to some determination as to Vice President. There appears to be some division of sentiment among the delegates as to this, and it is thought Henry Wilson will have a large vote among them. Colfax, also, has strength, and will probably receive nearly one-half on the first ballot. Wm. D. Beckman, of the Ohio dele gation, has arrived, and announces that Q mS S0 Y, Mr - Craighead has a letter from Gover- daughter, who are an Europe were tele- nor Dennison, withdrawing as a candi date, and that Colfax will receive the vote graphed for. D. N. Botossi, Greek Consul at this port, publishes a card this morning, stating that the report that seven Greek criminals have been shipped fer this country is a monstrous fabrication. the KEY-STONE DEMOCRACY. Beading, Pa., May 31.—The Conven tion reassembled. Mr. Buckalew, candidate for Governor, zaade a speech, returning thanks for his nomination, but. made no reference to any National topics, or in relation to the nomination for President. Wm. Hartly, of Bedford, was nomi nated for Auditor-General. Messrs. Jas. H. Hopkins, of Pittsburgh, Bied M. Vaux, of Philadelphia, and Hendrick B. Wright, of Luzerne, were selected as candidates at large for Congress—Mr. Wright being chosen on the second bal lot. The Convention then adjourned until two o’clock P. M. PLATFORM OF THE KEY-STONE DEMOCRACY Beading, Pa., Jane 1.—The following are the resolutions adopted by the State Democratic Convention: Resolved, That the Democratic party, while in the future, as in the past, firmly upholding the Constitution of the United of nearly the whole of this delegation. The Vice President is dubious and, though, just now, the contest is between Colfax and Wilson, the Connecticut del egation has determined to bring forward General Hawley, and he may be a com promise candidate. SOME CHAPPAQUACKEBY IN NEW YORK. New York, June 3.—A mass meeting .was held this evening to ratify the Cin cinnati nominations. The Hall of Cooper Institute was well filled. Meetings were organized outside, which were addressed by different speakers. General John Cochrane was Chairman of the Institute meeting. Among the Vice-Presidents were Ben Wood, Erastus Brooks, Geo. Wilkes, John Mullaly, and others. The resolu tions adopted hail the approval of the ticket in the South as the return of union feeling. — »—•—< St. Louis, May 29.—The National Ag ricultural Congress and Agricultural As sociation have been consolidated, under the name of the National Agricultural Congress. The President is J. P.. Rey nolds, the Secretary Charles W. Green, of Tennessee. Washington, May 28.—In the House the extension of the suspension of the habeas corpus was defeated by a vote of 94 to 188. Washington, May 28.—The Depart ment of Justice, will soon issue an order discontinuing, in the courts, pending proceedings for violations of the Four teenth Amendment, except against per sons excluded from amnesty. Official statements regarding the Eng lish Ministry’s action upon the supple mental article to the Treaty of Washing ton are indefinite and withheld from the public. Bed Cloud and his fellow chiefs were the White House to-day. Tuey seemed dissatisfied with the President’s speech, which, among other things, pro posed their removal to the Che»okee country. It is apprehended that the House ap propriation for the awards of the South ern Claims Commission will fail in the Senate for want of time. To-day, Judge Harris, of Virginia, ad dressed the Senate Committee in favor of the House appropriation of $220,000 to pay the Ant War Mail Contractors without proof of loyalty. The result is doubtful. Poland moved" to suspend rules and pass the Senate bill extending the Ku- Klox bill till the end of the next regular session of Congress. Bejected by yeas 94, nays 108. Some 22 Republicans voted with all the Democrats against the bill. Mr. Poland, representing the House portion of the Joint Ku-Klux Commit tee, stated that if a majority had voted for his motion, which required a two- thirds vote, he would have reported, as he had a right to do, at any time the House bill, identical with the Senate bill and which would only require a simple majority to pass it; but as the vote just taken disclosed a majority against the bill he should not report the House bill on the same subject unless he was furth er instructed by the committee to do so, Maynard moved to suspend the rules and pass the Senate Supplementary Civil Bights Bill. Bejected by yeas 113; nays 83—less than two-thirds in the affirma tive. This was a strict party vote. Upon motion of Judge Harris the dis abilities of Alexander R. Boteler, or West Virginia, and John Young Brown of Kentucky, were removed by a vote of 85 to 40. Washington, May 29.—All the De partments will be closed tomorrow. [De coration Day.—Ed. Sun.] Ex-President Andrew Johnson will testify on Monday, regarding the miss- tng Buell records.' Secretary Fish having received dis patches from London this p. m. , drove to the Capitol, in order to communicate their contents to the President, who, in company with Senator Carpenter, left the Executive Mansion at noon for that locality. While the President and Secretary Fish were together, in the room-set apart for the President, Senators Cameron, Morton, Harlan and others of the Committee on Foreign Relations, with additional Republican Senators, were seen going into _ and coming out of the room. There is no doubt the conversation was on the sub ject of onr present diplomatic business with Great Britain. Noting definite, however, could be ascertained concerning the character of the dispatches, but there was a report that the English Ministry hesitate to accept the additional article to the Treaty of Washington, as modified, by the Senate, the waiving of the claims for indirect damages not having been expressed with sufficient distinctness, the United States merely proposing a new rule to govern the action of the tri bunal of arbitration, having the effect to exclude that class of cases. Whatever may be the ultimate dispo sition of the additional article, it is cer tain that, up -to 5 o’clock this evening, there had been no definite response from the British Government. Much inter est on the subject is expressed in Execu tive, Diplomatic and other circles, and an unusually large number of telegrams pasted between the two countries to day. Washington, May 29.—The Commit tee of Conference on supplemental ap portionment, reported that the Senate should recede from its amendment. Adopted. A bill bridging the Mississippi at Oma ha, Nebraska, passed. The bill fixing the election of Con gressmen and President in Louisiana, on the same days, passed and goes to the President. A bill releasing Japan from $375,000 balance on a treaty, passed. Butler, of Massachusetts, opposed the bill as giving up nearly half a million of dollars, with out any sufficient reason for doing so. He hoped the Honse would stand true to the people, and prevent the voting away of this money on the mere sickly sentimentality of cultivating friendly relations with our half-savage friends in Japan. The Ala bama claims had been given up in order to cultivate peace with Great Britain and now this money was to bu given up, in order to cultivate peace with Japan. Thus we were buying peace, until we shonld be the m ost degraded nation on earth. Butler, of Massachusetts, from the Ku- Klux Committee, reported the bill to amend the Enforcement Act in regard to Elections. The reporting of this bill was the signal for the opposition to resort to parliamentary tactics to prevent a vote. Holman opened the ball at 3:20 by a motion to adjonm. Mr. Wood moved as a substitute that when the House does adjourn, it adjourn to meet on Friday next. The considers tion of these two' motions, which are always in order, may-occupy the time of the House indefinitely. After several votes, by yeas and nays, the Democrats showing no sign of yield ing, and mariyBepublicans not caring to. keep up the useless contest, a motion to adjourn was carried, at half-past four, by ‘ yeas 102, nays S5. Scott, from the select committee on Southern outrages, reported bills to amend the Enforcement Act and the Supplementary Civil Bights bill, which were read the first time. Mr. Bayard objected to the second reading of the bills. He questioned the propriety of the reference of these bills to this Committee, which had been orig inated for a special purpose, and, cer tainly, not to take cognizance of such matters as were involved • in these two bills. He did not even know that these bills had been referred to the Committee until it met yesterday. The proper ref erence for these bills was to the Judicia ry Committee. ~ Washington, May 31.—Mr. Cox is bet ter, and hopes are entertained of his re covery. There was a very long Cabinet session to-day over the Treaty. The probability of failure increases hourly. Washington, May 31.—The steam boat bill was discussed. Mr: Sumner made a motion to indefi- nately postpone the Sundry civil ap propriations bill, for the purpose of making his speech on the Frenoh arms report,which he characterized as a white washing one—the committee having been improperly appointed, &c. He then proceeded to arraign the President in the most bitter terms, referring to him as passing his time in Palace cars, with fast horses,and in sea-side loiterings. He denounced him for appointing his relatives to office, &c. Mr. Schnrz spoke to-night. Mr. Car penter is now speaking. The debate is very bitter. • Mr. Sumner’s, speech to-day was un precedented in denunciation. He said Grant preferred, at any time, a horse to the Constitution. Andy Johnson was never s« heartily abused. Washington, Jane.—Spanish advices indicate the early release of Dr. Houard. The President has vetoed the bill for the relief of J. Milton Best, of Paducah, Kentucky, for a house destroyed, on the ground that it was an incident of the war, and an infinite amount of property was destroyed in the same way. The President also asserts the overvaluation of the property. In the Senate, the bill allowing privi leges to tug and freight boats used ex clusively for tug and freight purposes, upou the Mississippi and its tributaries, passed. The privilege is limited to 12 months from the passage of the act. Such vessels are allowed to carry 150 instead of 110, to which passenger vessels are restrained. Carpenter is answering Schurz. The House took a recess, The Conference Committee is out. It has not yet ‘determined upon the tobacco tax, but 20 cents uniform tax is probable NEWS ITEMS FROM NEW YORK. Ne^ York, May 28.—The following are the names of the vessels engaged in the seal fishery, known to be lost off the coasts of Labrador and New Foundland daring the spring season, as ascertained by the New York Times: Maid of Judah, 97 men; Spark, 102; Blood hound (steamship), 125; Eclipse, 99 Bover 90; Retriever (steamship), 150 , saved; R. G. Y., 100 men, all hands perished; Aurora, 74; Laplander, 80; Witch of the Waves 93; Edgar Doran, 102; Twin Sisters, 98; Swan, 91; Terra Novae, 115; Flash, 101; Leohard, 62 First Fruit, 75; Lord of the Isles 75 Esquimaux, 104; Auster 97; Margarite, 57; (Hawk steamship) 115; Emily Ann 113; Meteor, 70; Ironsides, 115; Luck now, 98; William and Mary, 91 Pride of the Sea, 117; all known known to be lost; Hector, 100; Brothers, 90; Iceland (Steamship,) 132; Hero, 42 Nightingale, 65; men all known to be lost; Balaklava, 79; Eglantine, 80; Her bert Luby,- 98; Queen of the Isles, 96 Hunter, 50; men all known to have per ished; Mary Jane, 43; Red Man, 65 Home of the North, 132. Others have i ot yet been heard from, bnt all those recounted above have been totally wrecked, and their crews have not been accounted for, except in very rare instances, and the first who were saved could not give any definite intelligence of those they had left behind them. Out of 4,000 souls, only 175 have been accounted for. Most of these vessels were dashed to pieces on icebergs and fields of ice during a terrific hurricane, Many of them were insured in American office^. Merchants in this city and Massachu setts were largely interested in the fleet. This wholesale disaster spreads poverty and rain throughout New Foundland. where the victims nearly all belonged and vessels generally belonged, Daring the night of the loss the steam ship Retriever and 16 sail of vessels were hemmed in by high boulders and bergs of ice, over which tremendous seas dashed high and wildly, While this fleet lay to, as a last effort to survive the hurricane, many crossing crafts cut down each other, and one fear ful instance is recorded wherein a vessel, driven on an iceburg by a huge sea, fell back with a mighty crash on the brig, Twin Sisters, which lay beneath the berg, and a large number of men were instantly crushed to death, and the Twin Sisters was literally burst in two. Fif teen out of ninety-eight, clung to broken spars and were, by chance, picked np by the crew of the Retriever. The day after the storm the ice opened and the steamship Retriever made land, on reaching which, she sank and keeled over, but her crew succeeded in escaping to the shore. She was the only vessel that reached shore out of a fleet of six teen in her vicinity during the hurricane. Hundreds of the fleet are still to be heard from, and their fate may be even as gloomy as that of the forty-one ves sels, of which the above account is given by the Times. The disaster occurred on the night of the 11th of April. The rain of the seal fishery is complete. The report of the Sub committee re garding the Methodist*Saok Goacerhin- t A JLive Paiter on Lire Issues.* ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, Political Editor, A. R. WATSON, News Editor, BENLY SMITH, General Editor and Basinet B Manager. dicates a large swindle iu nearly all the departments. , JjThirty persons were injured by the ex plosion of the Epsilon. The bodies of the Captain and firemen have not been recovered. Low water in the boiler is said to have caused the explosion. New York, May 29.— A special dis patch from Madrid says the cause of the fall of the Sagosta Ministry is as follows: On the presentation of the Budget, it was found that $20,000,000 had been di verted from the Colonial to the Interior Department. On being called upon to explain, Sagosta said the money was used in the secret service. The reply was unsatisfactory, and particulars were de manded: . , Sagosta finally declared that the money was used by the police spy department, and produced the records, to procure which the money was spent. These records consist of letters of politicians, Deputies and Generals, and of reports of their movements. Whether these records are true or false, it is the most wonderful exhibit ever made by any government. Every promi nent Spaniard is represented as being in volved in some conspiracy. Madrid ap pears to be a vast nest of political in trigue. Serrano is said to be involved in a movement in favor of Alphonse, son of ex-Queen Isabella. Rey, recently Minister of War, is said to be compromised with the Carlists and Sorilla with the Internationals. Distin guished Republicans are reported as pro posing to plunder the Bank of Spain; Castellar as wishing, only, to seize the coin,and Margall as urging the seizure of the bullion also. ,The King is represent ed as having no confidence in the capaci ty or honesty of the Spaniards, and as having asked the advice of his father on the propriety of employing Prussian Generals. This remarkable glimpse of Spanish parties, in their intrigues, has had the effect of a political earthquake. New York, May 31.—It is] reported that 'Bennett is sinking. New York, Jane 1.—James Gordon Bennett is dead, aged 77 years. E. O. Haven was, to-day, elected Sec retary of the Church Educational So ciety. The report of the Committee on the State of the Church, concerning sinful amusements, was aga[p taken up and finally adopted, by a vote of 185 to 75. The Committee on Temperance re ported a series of resolutions, declaring in favor of a total legal prohibition of the sale of liquors; that dealers should be made responsible for the wars in flicted on communities; that members of the church should not rent property for liquor stores, or, in any way, countenance the traffic. New York, June 2.—The Herald, in announcing the death of Mr. Bennett, says five years ago, Mr. Bennett entirely withdrew from the active management of the Hei'ald; but, though feeble in frame, his general health had been re markably good, while his fine intellect remained unimpaird and his interest in the events of the day continued unabat ed, np to the moment of his fatal illness About half-past one, last Saturday afternoon, Mr. Bennett suffered a slight convulsive attack, accompanied by epi leptio symptoms, but not sufficiently marked or violent, to excite apprehen sions of immediate danger. At half past one, last Sunday morning, the attack was repeated, with greater severity.— From that the end became evident, although the constant attendance of Doctors Cecarini, .Hannond and Lusk ensured the exhaustion of all within reach of human efforts to avert a fatal result. On Tuesday last, at the request of Mr, Bennett, Archbishop McCloskey visited his bedside, and administered to him the sacraments of the Church. When the last hour arrived he sank to sleep, in death, calmly and peacefully, and his soul passed away without a struggle. Mr. Bennett was in the 77th year of his age. A Washington special in relation to the treaty says:'It is understood that a request for time, for a more careful con sideration of the supplementary article, has been made by the British Govern ment. New York, June 3.—In the General Conference to-day the Committee on the State of the Church reported that all differences between this Church and the Methodist Church South, were harmoni ously settled and they proposed a com mittee to confer with the leaders of the Church South to bring abont fraternal relations between the two Churches. Several delegates spoke in favor of this project. The report was unanimously adopted by a rising' vote. Phelps, Dodge & Co., of this city, caused the arrest of several other mer chants, on a charge of conspiring with their janitor to steal their private corres pondence, thereby causing them serious loss in business. D. L. B. Irish and Mrs. Anderson were arrested in Brooklyn on the strength of the report of Professor Doremus, that he found in the exhumed remains of Ed ward O. Anderson sufficient arsenic to have caused death. The arrested parties were, some weeks ago, charged, by the father of the deceased, with his murder, by poison. The parties were committed without bail. The Grand Lodge of Free Masons of this State will meet here to-morrow. Delegates will be present from the Grand Lodges of England, Ireland, Scot land, Prussia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ottowa, Ontario, and every State and Territory of the United States. FOR 1872 s During the present year a President and members of Congress are to be elected. Liberty must be preserved or lost. The Corruptionists of the day—the Bond Rings—the ambitious enemies of free government--are artfully, persistently paving the way to the overthrow of the Federal Republic, founded by Washing ton, Jefferson and Madison, and the es tablishment- of a Centralized Empire and a Dynasty in its stead. THE PEOPLE can prevent this if thoy wilt. They cau retain their free dom, or they cau become slaves. The destiny of this country is to be decided by the people's voles/ If the Democratic party will but stand firmly upon its time-honored platform, and erect the standard of Liberty, and honesty iu the administration of tho gov ernment, a glorious triumph will be achieved. Victory is within our grasp. The enemy is giviug way—is receding from his utter disregard of law and con stitutional guaranties. Now is tho time for a vigorous charge upon .hi3 wavering dines. The Sun, has beeu sowing the good seed of truth. It has already brought forth good fi nit.

Madrid, May 30.—At the session of the Cortes, to-day, Admiral Topete, Pre sident of the Counoil, stated that the Ministry recognized the validity of the Convention made by Marshal Serrano with the rebels in Biscay, pardoning those who voluntarily surrender, and re quested the members of the opposition not to interpellate the Government rela tive thereto. Upon this announcement, Zorrilla arose and moved a vote of cen sure upon Serrano. It is said this action will cause Marshal Serrano to resign his command. Later.—Notwithstanding the* request of Admiral Topete in the Cortes that the opposition shonld refrain from taking any action relative to the indorsement by the Government of the course pur sued by Marshal Serrano, hardly had the excitement which was caused by the in troduction of Senor Zorilla’s motion died away, when Sen r Martos arose and pro ceeded to question the Government. The President of the Cortes refused to answer. Senor Martos insisted on his question, when the President declared the action of the Deputy was insulting to him, and left the Chamber. Great con fusion followed the retirement of the President. The tumult in the Cham ber became general, and amid the din of voices, no Deputy could be plainly heard. The excitement over Serrano’s gener ous treatment of the insurgents is very great, and the stormy scenes in the Cor tes have served to intensify it. It is pro bable that the Marshal, with other Min isters who have accepted positions in the Cabinet, will resign. Should the King insist on making Serrano Premier, as it is rumored he is disposed to do, iu reward for his distin guished service in quelling the Carlist insurrection, grave consequences are feared. • London, May 28.—A debate in the House of Commons, last night, on the supplemental article to the Treaty of Washington, and the reply of Mr. Glad stone to the question of Mr. Disraeli, re lative thereto, form the subject of the leading editorial articles in the London morning journals. The answer of Mr. Glad 00 tone, is regarded as unsatisfactory* as it adds nothing to the information alrea dy obtained u^oa the subject.
