sasetbing to their interest in the advertisc-
M t of Latlirop & Co., Savannah. This
am have re-opened their large Southern
Clothing Manufactory, which gave employ
ment an>l bread to hundreds of industrious
wmen during the war, and they now offer
the same opportunity to others. A good

a.'nt.
gr The City Council of Charleston S. C.,
hs appointed a committee to report measures
for assisting the citizens in rebuilding
the diy. It is proposed to issue city
• bonds, drawing seven per cent, interest to all
who wish to rebuild, on the following basis.
Yihen a lot is valued at $10,000, and the par.
tin owning the same wish to build a store
warehouse, or dwelling, worth $50,0000 upon
it, to issue to the parties $15,000 of city bonds
at par, the city to take a bond and mortgage
with insurance policies assigned for security.
Trsxo & Co.—We invite attention to the
card of this firm, which is a new one for Sa-
tannah. though the Senior partner has long
l«n known as a prominent merchant of
Charleston. The House is a strong and reli
able one nnd has the means of granting all
desired facilities to their customers. Capt.
Holcomb, so well known to the soldiers sta
tioned on the coast and at Charleston during
the late war, is associated with the firm, and
i-now on a visit to Western and South-west
ern Georgia, where, we feel sure, he will
sake many friends.

foretoqnell the riot. If any Southern Dcn-
Ja remained in the convention after this in'

Georgia delegates protested against the pro
ceeding.
Tiie History of Gen. Grant’s Rise in
n i Fedf.ral Armv.—Most of our readers
“ever heard of Gen. Grant till the bnttle of
T°ft Dondson. Senator Yates, of Illinois,
a » eulogy upon him, delivered during the
consideration of the bill to revive the grade
01 General, gives the history of his entranco
iato . »nd rise into the army. In 1801, Gen.
Gem applied to the then Governor Yates, Of
1 •inoi.'i, for service in the army. Yates gave
k® a clerkship in the Executive office, and

Philadelphia, Aug. 18.- A scene of the
greatest animation has prevailed in the city

It is not quite certain whether the building
will bo ready for use by to-morrow.
Despatches have been received here by the
friends cf Mr. Vallandigham from prominent
Democratic candidates, requesting that he
will not go into the Convention, and the pro
babilities are that Mr. Vallandigham will
yield to this and similar appeals, for the sake
of the general harmony of the Convention.
There is no probability of any disturbance,
although the Radical Press contains the most
inflammatory appeals.

Committee to wait upon the President with
a report of the proceedings of the Conven

It is proposed that the Convention shall is.

of Soldiers of the two armies at some central
interpretation of the Constitution has been
firmly and legally established—that decision
was pronounced on the field of battle and the
decree is incontrovertible.
The South has surrendered her principles
and accepts Northern interpretation. M c are
willing to abide by it forever. By tbis war
the people of the South have, to a very large
extent, been stripped of their property; their
banks are gone and their credit gone. In
many localities the great stand point of civil
law has been lost. Thus the people of the
South have far more need of a stable Gov
eminent than you have, and it is mad folly to
charge that they will not fulfill their oaths to
support this Government. Wc claim this
our Government as well as yours, hut that we
may be equal, we must have representation

clude us from representation.

PATRIOTIC SPEECH OF 7HE CHAIR
MAN, PRO TIM.
MR.
VALANDIGHAM DECLINES TO
TAKE HIS SEAT.
(From the Associated Press.)
Philadelphia, Avg. 14th.—The Conven
tion assembled in tlie Wigwam at 12-30 P. M.
3Ir. Randall open'd the Convention by
saying:
“ Gentlemen : I hive to announce that dele-
gjtes from South Carolina and Massachusetts
will now come nnft-in-nrin into tills Conven
tion.”
This announcement was greeted with great
applause, the audience rising. At this mo
ment Maj. Gen. Cones, of Massachusetts, and
Gov. Orr, of South Carolina, at the head of
their respective delegations, inarched in arm-
in-arm, with banners flying and music play
ing. Shout after shout, spontaneous nnd gen
eral, rent the air; teits filled the eyes of del
egates nnd spectators.
Gen. John A. Dix Was nominated as tem
porary Chairman. In accepting he said:
“I regard this as a Convention of no ordi
nary character; not only on account of the
because it is a Conventi
the States of this Union, (applause.) and be
cause we cannot doubt, it its proceed
ings are conducted with harmony and
good judgment that it will lead to tlie most
important results. It may be truly said that
no body of men have met on tbis continent
under circumstances so momentous and so
important since the year 1787, [applause] the
year when our ancestors assembled In this
city, to form a better Government for the
States which composed the old’ Confedera
tion—a Government which has been confirm
ed and made more enduring, as we trust, by
the fearful triab and perils which it has en
countered and overcome. [Applause.! Ten
States have yet no representation in the Legis
lature of this country, and this wrong wc have
come here to protest against, and, as much as
lies in -our power, to redress. When the
President of the United States declared that
war had ceased, all the States had the right
of representation. The exacting of new con
ditions is subversive to our national li Derty
and dangerous to public peace. [Loud Ap
plause.] Is this the Government our fathers
fought to establish, and which wc have fought
to maintain ? I trust that in the de
liberations of this Convention, the main idea
will be to change the present complexion of
Congress, to purify the republic, and bring it
back to its original standard—one country,
one flag, one union of equal States.”
After the appointment of committees on
credentials, resolutions, and organization, the
Convention adjourned until to-morrow, at
noon.
Senator Doolittle has been nominated in

was densely packed in every part. Tlie en
thusiasm and interest oi the occasion are
without a parallel.
The entire proceedings of to-day have been

His speech was splendid, nearly every sen
tence of it being cheered.
A scene of the greeted enthusiasm occurred
when the delegates from South Carolina nnd

Plan of the .Radicals.
The Chicago Tribune, a very bold and able
journal, well posted as to the objects nnd pur
poses of the Radicals, says:
It seems probable that tlie South will not
accept the wild terms offered to them in the
constitutional amendment. If they do not, it
will be the clear duty of the present Con
gress to lay the root of Andrew Johnson’s
Provisional Governments, and reorganize
them on the basis of impartial suffrage. There
will be no war of races then. Instead of it,
there will be respect for law, and submission
to it. General Grant knows how to estab
lish and execute anything which the law
making power may enact, without leavirg
any war of races in his track.
Upon this the New York Times makes the
following comment: “There is no reticence or
ambiguity in this. If the Southern States
foil to ratify the constitutional amendment
which has been submitted to them, their right
to self-government is to be trampled under
foot, their constitutional right to regulate the
suffrage annulled, and their entire machinery
of government to be reconstructed according
to the Radical model. This is what the Chi- •
caga Tribune threatens. And we know no
journal that is better informed as to the Rad
ical plans, or more likely to be entrusted with
their promulgation. 4
“The revolutionary measure thus indicated
as a probable contingency might be discred
ited if they were at variance with the tone dis
played by Radical leaders since the close of
the session. Unfortunately the reverse is the
fact.”

Stamping Instruments.
We are indebted to 3Ir. Henry Hodges,
Assistant Tax Assessor, for the following
letter:
Collector’8 Office, U. S. Int. Rev.
4th Div. Ga., Atlanta, Ga.,
July 27, 1866.
Henrg Hodges, Esq., la Grange, Ga :
Sir: In reply to yours of the 26th, that
ooiigiuo k-- anrl the President un
proved a bill changing tlie stamping of in
struments not stamped at the time of making.
When the instruments were made “at a time
when, at a place where, no collection district
was established, it shall be lawful for him
(maker) or them (makers), or any party hav
ing an interest therein, to affix the proper
stamp thereto, or if the original be lost, to a
copy thereof; and the instrument or copy to
which the proper stamp lias been thu3 af
fixed before January 1st, 1867, shall be as
valid as if stamped by tlie Collector.”
WhcD the instrument has been made since
May 1st, 1865, the time this State was dis
tricted the time lias been extended to twelve
months from August 1st, ’66. The stamping
still rest with tlie collector as before. The
only change is, in this latter case, that he can
remit the penalty for twelve months from
August 1st proximo.
In reply to one of your questions, I would
state that I am tbe only sne who can stamp
instruments not stamped at the time of mak
ing the instruments, when made in the dis
trict after the creation of tlie districts, to-
wit: May 1st, 1865. The law is changed in
regard to stamping old instruments after they
have been recorded, so that all that need be
done is to have tlie clerk of the court make a
minute of the stamping on the margin of the
original record.
Yours truly, •
* J. Atkins.
Those that have had deeds stamped in
presence of the Clerks of the Superior Court
would do well to call at their offices and have
a minute of the same made of record.

Arkansas.
What Gov. JXurphy Says.
Washington, Aug. 2.—Gov. Murphy, of
Arkansas, in writing to D. H. Bingham, in-
dorcing tlie call of the Union Convention,
dated July 06, states that there is not a paper
in Little Rotk that will publish the call, and
but one in tlie whole State in the interest of
loyal men. At our election in August, the
rebel element will have lull control, except
ing, pcrhaps,in a few north-western counties^
The feeling toward Congress is more hostile
than during the war,and hatred of Union sol
diers and Union men is a matter of ambitious-
pride. The industrious cles-'-s are being a
little disaffected toward their late leaders.
Their tone is so vemomous and disloyal that
they begin to fear their success will bring to
the future tbe scenes of the past. Wcjust
hear of the ratification of the constitutional
amendment by the Tennessee Legislature, nnd
hail it as an omen that the measure will be
come a law. I would have called a session of
the Arkansas Legislature, had it been possi
ble to have procured a quorum, but from
deaths, resignations and removals to the other
States, it could not have been had. I regret
this much, as the Legislature to be elected
will be chosen from rebels who have done
ood sen-ice in the war. Everything I can
do to unite the Union sentiment of the South
will be done.
