THE PHII. t DBLPHI I CONVEX-
Tl>’
‘i-KKSS DESPATCH-)
Philadelphia, Aug. lGth. —The
Convcntiou met at ten, and the Wig
wam was crowded to its utmost capaci
ty, Half of the audience are ladies.
” Senator Cowan, from the Committee
on resolutions and address, presented
a declaration of Principles, which was
unanimously and cntbusinstically ad
opted. It declares that the war juit
closed has maintained the authority of
the Constitution, and has preserved
the Union with the equal rights dig
nity and authority of all the States
perfect and unimpaired—that repres.
entation in Congress and in the Elec
toral Colleges is a right abiding in and
a duty imposed upon, every State, and
that neither Congress nor the General
Government has any authority or pow
er to deny the right to any State —
that Congress has no power over the
Elective franchise, but that rights be
longs exclusively to each State —that
no State has the right to withdraw
from the Union —that on all Constitu
tional amendments all the States have
an equal right to vote —that slavery
is abolished, and forever prohibited —
that the National debt is sacred and j
inviolable, an I the Confederate debt j
invalid. The resolutions recognize the i
services of the Federal soldiers and
sailors and the debt due by the nation
to them and their widows and orphans,
and endorse President Johnson for his
steadfast devotion to the Constitution,
laws, and interests of the country.
The address was prepared by Mr.
Raymond, of New York, and was read
by that gentleman, and unanimously
adopted.
The National Committees, executive l
and financial, were then announced.
president Doolittle’s address.
Mr. Doolittle said, in his opening
address, that the Convention was one
of the greatest events of our day; it
was the first National Convention in
six years, and in the interim there had
been blood, agony and tears. Our
brothers had fallen and our resources j
been wasted on a thousand battle :
fields; but, thank God, the assurances
here tell us that peace has come at last
If the people of the whole country
could see the fraternal feeling here,
there would be no struggle at the polls
this Tall. [Great applause.] But as
the whole people cannot bo here to
witness what is transpiring, the greater
work rests on us. From this time until
the election of the next Congress, we
should be untiring in our exertions to
see that the next Congress, if this one
shall continue to refuse this sacred
right of representation to equal States ‘
shall recognize them. [Applause.]
When that is done, the Union will be !
restored, and when the Union is res- j
tored, we shall be prepared to enter
upon a higher and nobler career among ‘
the nations of the earth than has ever j
yet been occupied by any government j
upon which the sun of heaven ever j
shone. [Applause.]
The following is the organization.
J. R. Doolittle, President.

tiii: Conspiracy against hit.
DAVIS, C. C. CLAY A OTHERS.
On our first page we give an interesting
section of the report of the Committee, on
the investigation of the plot to convict Mr.
Davis and others upon false testimony, of
participation in the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln. We had no room for the en
tire report, but this is sufficient to show
the villainy of Holt and other high officials,
who suborned the miserable wretches who
: here confess their guilt, and expose the
plot to all the world. It seems incredible
that American citizens, even of the lowest
and most abandoned character, could en
gage in a conspiracy so deliberate and vil
lainous, to take the lives of innocent men,
for the sake of filthy lucre. There is ,no
language sufficient to express the indigna
ti6n of an honest man, no punishment
known to the laws, terrible enough to
scourge the heartless villains who would
stain their hands with innocent blood.
SOTTII GEORGIA A FLORIDA
RAH. ROAD
The Bainbridge Argus of last week at
■ tempts to throw cold water upon the enter
! prise advocated by us two weeks ago, of
constructing a Railroad between Thomas
j ville and Albany. But the reasoning of
i the Argus is entirely without point or basis.
How is it possible for a railroad from Al
, bany to Monticello, to injure “Savannah,
Brunswick, the Atlantic & Gulf Road,” or
t in any manner “interfere with the railroad
i system of the State ” ? The editor of the
i Argus, is perhaps the only man in the State
I who does not know (if he knows anything
about the State.) that such a railroad, so
far from injuring Brunswick and Savan
nah, or interfering with the railroad system
of the State, will greatly benefit both those
places and add another link toward the
perfection of our railroad system. The
: editor but shows his ignorance on the sub-
I ject when he says it was a ‘ war measure
only.” Over here we know that the pro
| ject was gotten up, the charter obtained
and $70,000 subscribed, long before the
war commenced, and the Atlantic & Gulf
Railroad Company knew all about it with
out offering any opposition. On the con
trary that Company purchased the charter,
pledging themselves to begin the work
within a reasonable period.
■■ - ♦ ♦ ■ ■
DON’T YOU DO IT!
The Bainbridge Southern Georgian, has
despaired of the extension of the Atlantic
& Gulf road to Bainbridge, and in its fury
it now threatens to turn all the trade of
Decatur, Miller,Early, Baker and Mitchell
Counties, (which it says are the “best cot
ton counties in Southern Geergia,”) to New
Orleans. The editor says he is going to
New Orleans in September, and then he
will arrange the whole matter. Don’t you
do it George! Such a prodigious shipment
of Cotton to New Orleans, as the whole
crop from the Counties you name, would be
too great a draft on Savannah, and would
j leave that city high and dry without com
merce.
■ ■ - • •A—
NEGRO DRILLING.
We endorse the views of the Macon Tele
graph, that the secret drilling among the
negroes throughout the South, is a part of
the scheme of the Radicals North to uphold
their power at every hazard, and that these
colored troops, trained under the secret
agency of the Freednien's Bureau, are to
be turned loose upon their old masters
whenever the Radicals are driven to the
last extremity. The Telegraph does not
believe any great danger is to be appre
hended to the whites from this scheme, but
as there are some individuals who may fo
ment discord and do mischief, it calls upon
| the Government to disarm universally this
1 class of our population, and we believe the
j safety of the black as well as the white
race imperatively demands it. The Gov
ernment should look to this matter ; but in
case of dilatoriness on the part of the Go
vernment, our people who are thus men
accd by the Radicals and their Agents,
should be ready for the emergency.
DRILLING PROHIBITED.
GenT Terry, commanding at Richmond,
Ya.. has at last issued orders prohibiting
the nightly drilling of negro bands in that
city, and prohibited the further assemblage
of such military organizations. But his
dilatoriness in the matter, and otherwise
unfriendly demonstrations toward the white
people of that District, have caused him to
be superceded. The New York World com
i ments severely upon these things, and ap
proves the order of GenT Terry, but says
it is not enough. The World argues cor
rectly, that so dangerous a body of illiter
ate and insubordinate barbarians should
i also be disarmed of the accoutrements fur
nished them by ill disposed Northern men.
PHILADELPHIA CONTENTION.
This Convention met on the 14th inst
The great Wigwam was filled to overflow
ing with zealous enthusiastic people. A
large number of ladies were present. Gen.
Dix was temporary Chairman and made a
stirring speech. Fernando Wood and Yal
landigham declined to enter the Convention
for the sake of harmony. Both, however,
wrote letters which were read and greatly
applauded.
Senator Doolittle was elected permanent
President of the Convention, and delivered
a speech which produced great enthusiasm.
Judge Lyon of Georgia was elected Vice
President.
A Jispatach was received from President
Johnson very encouraging, and expressing
great confidence in the success of the Con
vention, which gave general satisfaction,
and was received with tremendous ap
plause. The utmost harmony prevailed
throughout the proceedings.
(Special to the Telegraph.)
Philadelphia, Aug-16.- The Convention,
after a three day’s session, completed its
labors and adjourned to-day sine die.
During the session to-day, the wigwam
was crowded to excess, a very large num
ber of ladies being present and evincing
the greatest interest in the proceedings.
The platform of principles agreed upon
was read by Mr. Cowan, Chairman of the
Committee; an address to the people was
read by Hon. Henry J. Raymond, of New
York. Doth documents were heartily
cheered and unanimously adopted. Ter
feet harmony and unanimity prevailed.
The delegates and visitors are dispers
ing; ten thousand persons left the city for
their homes to-day. Warwick.
THE A'OItTII AND THE SOUTH.
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, in at
tendance at the Philadelphia Convention,
made a speech at the Girard Hall in that
city, in which he said :
“The Northern interpretation of the
Constitution has been firmly and legally
established that decision was pronounced
on the battle field and the decree is incon
trovertible. The South has surrendered
her principles and accepts the Northern
interpretation. We are willing to abide it
forevet.”
These may be Governor Orr’s sentiments,
who entered the Convention arm in arm
with a Massachusetts delegate, in token of
the reunion of North and South, but history
would make it appear that South Carolina
thus makes her submission, or in other
words kisses the hand of the sociter. In
our opinion, there can be no real unanimity
of sentiment, or cordial reunion of interest
between the North and South, until the
odious measures in tlie Constitution are
expunged and the South restored to equal
ity of rights,
ADVERTISER AND C ITIZEN.
The Savannah Advertiser and Macon Citi
zen, are tickling each other, and complain
ing that “ other papers ” principally coun
try papers, use their editorials without
giving them proper credit. Now, why
don’t you gentlemen out with the culprits ?
If tee are not guilty, we do not like to be
linked with others in a vague insinuation.
These “ country papers ” have mills that
grind also, when the streams are up, and not
long ago we saw grits from our mill sup
plying a large city establishment —no thanks
to us. W ; e made no complaint—was it
modesty ? We should be sorry to find that
we had done so great an injury to any of
our cotemporaries, for after such desperate
tugging, they should have credit for their
labors.
B RUINS AVICK COURIER.
W'e have received a copy of the Bruns
wick Courier, just issued by Messrs. Or me
& Wattles—the former as editor. The Cou
rier is a good sized paper and well filled
with reading matter. Brunswick was in
need of a paper to keep her great advanta
ges as a port before the country, and we
hope the Courier will be sustained.

Tlic Frccdmen’s Bureau in Georgia
From the final report of Mess s.
Steed man & Fullerton we make the
following extract concerning Georgia,
in which one Captain Lambert, who
administered Bureau affairs in this
city, greatly to his own advantage,
and was brave enough to offer indig
nities to gentlemen, which, surround
ed by his armed negro minions, comes
in for a charcoal sketch -Macon
Telegraph.
GEOBOIA.
The Bureau in Georgia, under the
management of the present able and
efficient Assistant Commissioner, Bre
vet Major-General Tillson, has been
honestly administered, and has accom
plished all the good of which the sys
tem is capable. It has been assisted
by the Governor, by judges of the
supreme courts, by the civil authori
ties, and to some extent by the citizens.
The amended laws of Georgia are
fully as liberal a5 those of any North
ern State, and place the negroes in all
respects on a perfect equality with a
white man as to his civil rights. Not
withstanding this fact we have found
that agents of the Bureau have taken
cases out of the hands of the civil
authorities, and have tried to dispose
of them in a manner never contem
plated by the laws of the State. For
instance, the citizen Judge of the
Freedmen’s Court at Savannah sen
tenced two negroes to thirty days
hard labor in the chain gang on a
charge of horse stealing, to which
they pleaded guilty. A white man
committing the same offense would
have been liable, under the State laws,
to the penitentiary, or even to death,
at the discretion of the jury. In
cases previously disposed of in this
same court, cne freed man, for assault*
ing with a knife, with intent to kill,
was fined 820, and another freedman,
for a similar offense was sent to pris
on for five months, when, by the laws
of Georgia, the punishment prescribed
for this crime is imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than two nor
more than ten years. Decisions such
as these must of necessity create
among the white people a feeling of
contempt for the freedmen’s courts
and of ill-will towards the United
States Government, which permits
such an unjust interference with the
laws of the State. In the Freeduien’s
Court at Macon, presided over by Capi.
L. J. Lambert more serious irregular
ities have occurred. A Mr M. J.
Morgan and bis son, a Mr. Boulton,
and a Mr. Samuel Berwich, were tried
in this court for cruelty to a freedman
were convicted, and were fined in the
aggregate ?550 Ihe fines imposed
upon the two Morgans, amounting
to S3OO, were reported by the agent,
but no aocount was rendered of the
remaining .$250. Captain Lambert in
a written explanation, herewith for
warded (marked A,) states that the
money and papers in this case were
stolon from his office, and that he
made up his report from memory. It
does not appear, however, that Capt.
Lambert made any official mention of
the robbery until after this discrepan
cy was discovered by us. We found
that Captain Lambert’s records as a
rule were very loosly kept, and that
his predecessor, who had collected
thousands of dollars, left no record or
evidence behind him of the disposition
made of the money received. A sim
ilar absence of records prevented our
making a thorough investigation of
the accounts in other offices in the
State.
The Freed men in Georgia, when
we went through the State, were reg
ularly at work, and wherever their
wages were remunerative and general
ly paid them, were contented and do
! ing well.

The Needle Gun.
The Secret Discovered—A Cincinna
tian Concerned in the Enterprise.
Since the breaking out of the pres
ent European war, most persons have
read something of the Prussian “needle
gun/’ They have feared that the
peculiarity of the gun is a secret pre
paration for igniting the powder next
to the ball, instead of at tho rear of
the powder, by which the powder is
all consumed and the greatast possible
force is given to the charge. It is
said, also, that only one person is in
possession of the secret, and he is
constantly guarded by a force of twelve
men from the regular Prussian army,
to keep him from imparting it to
others.
Many efforts have been made by
European nations to discover the se
cret composition, but without success.
But we have been assured that the
secret has been discovered in . this
country. We were called upon yes
terday by Mr Geo. Herzog, of this
city, who informed us that a friend
of his in Newark, N. J., Mr. E. Kro :
nenburg, with whom he is pecuniarily
connected in the enterprise, has for
four years, part of the time in Europe,
been experimenting with a view to
learn the composition of the igniting
material rs this gun, and that a few
months since, he achieved complete
success. But before letting the fact
be known he communicated with the
Governments of France, England and
Austria, to learn what propositions
they would make him for the secret.
Having heard from them, he now
proposes to offer it to the United
States Government.
Mr. Herzog has one of the gtfis
in the city and will in a few days have
some of the cartridges for exhibition.’

Visit of Queen Emma to Washington.
Her Majesty, the Queen Dowager
of the Sandwich Islands, accompanied
by her suite, arrived at W’iliards hotel
last evening. Departments suitable
to her rank had previously been en
gaged for her at the hotel. After a
quiet and stricty private dinner, she
was called upon by Judge Stanberry,
Acting Secretary of State, who, in a
brief speech, congratulated her on her
safe arrival at the capital of the Union,
and stated that the President of the
United States had been informed of
her Majesty’s arrival, and who would
be pleased to give her an audience at
the Executive Mansion at any time
best suited to her convenience.
Her Majesty made a brief response,
saying that she would be most happy
to meet the President of the United
States, at an early date, and thanked
the people whom she had met for
