It was declded that the Natlonals should uttend und Reep tieir ayes aid cars open in the search for corruption and fraud, From the specchies which werg mnnde hefore the nhoye conciusion was reached, §L was plain 10 be seen thut the Natfounis, or at least the City Central Commit- teo of that body, rerard the Ureenbackers with o very susplelons eye. One member eald that he hnd heard Mr. Dunstan, oue of the Green- buekers, say, when snenking of the fusion lntely tade between the Natlonals and the Green- backers, that the Iatter had the whole busincss arranged, und would run the Conventlon to sult themselyes. Another member proposed {hat ol the Natfonals nrise wnd quit the Con- vention ns eoun as any corruption should bo discovered, This naturally gave rlss to the, query: * [Tow are we to knotw when corruption has Deen discoveredd *? One man thought that n member sfionld he apvointed to wateh for it, and give the sfznal when the wuch-sought artlels hind hieen broueht tp Uleht, To another mewmber there seemed to be an obfection to that scheme. He bettaved a Jack of overweening conlidence in his felluwa by nsking: *How ure we to Rnow thnt the man whom we chogse to give the signal may not be a scoundrel, and elvo the sfgual at the wrone time, sothntwew(ll rush out and make o grand flusco of 3the whole of falr?” The ouestion was not answered, nor wny the sucgestion of the appolntinent of a watch-dog acted upon. lowerer, Dr. Dull waa fixed upon as the man whom the Natfonals should put forward as Temporary Chairinan of the "Conventfon, This was deefded upon be« cause u member present suid that the Green- backers hod things o)l cut and dried,—had al- ready sclected two “ Generals.,” One of theso Uenerals would be put forward for the ‘lempo- rury Chatrmanship only to give place to General No. 2, After vorious mfnor mattors had been diseussed, Brick Pomoroy came In for a tirala of nbuse from all sfdes of the Nouse, He was denounced as o hunbug, u trickster, and a hypocrite, pretending to be laboring for the workingmen, when lis intents und purposes all looked In auother direction, The Committes dwelt Tougz and earucstly upon the fdea that they wero ot for salc anil coutd not be hought nor would the Nationals sutmit to beinz made A party to any schume whereby the Greenbackers and the Natlooals, under the name ol the ** Na- tional Greenback Luabor party,* could be landed over to the Demucrats {n the Interest of Carter IL larrison. If any plgns of fraud be dis- covered in the Convention of tu-morrow, the Natlouals wiil doubtless retire i disgust und have a convention of their own next week, un- Iees they sce fit fn to-morrow’s gathering to moke uee of their wajority representa- tion to stamp out any wsud- all froudulent oractices which they” soe, und run the bull\hll”oll to sult themselves.

A Lecture About “ The Bright Side | D of Things."” A Mecdley of Bad Jokos, Aged Apliorisms, Etc, McCormick Hall was well filled last evening by a decidedly good-looking audlence, drawn together by tha announcement that the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage would dellver a lectura on ““The Bright Bide of Things,” About 8 o'clock the fuevitablo boy trotted down the afsio with the Inevitable basket of flowers,—spontancous cxpressions of publle regand furnished aa per contract. A few minutes more and thero came upon the platform Mr, Edward Kimball, of church-debt-rusing notorlety, and with him the speaker of the evening, Alr, Kimball appealed to the audicnce to treat Mr. Talmage aa well ss tbat gentleman’s own congregation would do, and gracefully retired. Mr, Talmage ns grace- fully bowed to the assembled multitude, nnd plunged st ouce into the heart of hislecture. Hls volce 18 harsh and atrident, but one comfort is that eversbody in the hall heard every word he sald. ‘The pudfence wers good-temporsd and appa- rently determined to bo pleased. They ap- piauded everytuing; stories, however old; jokes, bowever vulgar, There may bs acveral ojin- fona about Mr, Talmage's powers as a como- dian, but there con be but one as to the fact that be is vulgar. Ilis mannerlsms are some- thing wonderful. When, fn ono of his aoee- dotes, s wounded soldier pushed back a bandage from his eyes, Mr. T, pressed back an {maginary fillet from his marble brow, Wben auother wounded man had to be described, a pocket- handkerchlef was deftly wound around the lcct- uror’s dexter fin. It wasthe triumph of the real- Istic; pre-Raphaclism on the platform. Mr, Tal- maye i8 80 well known by the exceediogely ac- curate pictures of him in the New York fllustrated * weeklies that there {8 littlo need to describe him here, o was dressed o orthodox black, end presented an angualar appearance. Hig halr Is lung, his sido- whiskers sandy. Sometimes he rattlcd off two hundred words a minute,—~anon be sank bls voice to a whisper to fllustrate the prattiingof a child, or raiscd it {o thunder-tones supposed to represent the roar of Niagara or the rush of the ocean waves. Mr. Talmage opeued out with the declaration that this was nn extremely pleasant world to Mve fo, If be had been consulted as to which of the bright-shinlng stars he would 1lvo In, he could not have done better than choose this one. In this beautiful planet the mountains wers of the right bight, the valleys of the right depth, the ficlds und trees the right color, ~ Mau had two tyes, ons more than be needed,and one nose, an organ of two stops, and uoo«.i whether it turned up or down. Stauding before the grandest specimen of Pn(ntlng or architecture, n dozen men would have n dozen different oplnlons. That was all right. But wlere was the blasphemer who would eriticise the arch of the sky, the frost on the window-pancs! To one discord thers wera a dozen barmonles, To one mile of raplds there were o hundred of peaceful, placld beauty. “0nl it's a good world; & beautitul world io live in, und this {s the best time to live in it," ald Ar. Talmage. 1o would rather live ten Yearg in the preseot than 600 fo the time of Methusaleh, ‘There were, boweyer, o great many disacree- able people in this beautiful world, “Of course ihiere were none present o McCortniek Hall, The busbands he saw before him always handed over to thelr wives whatever amount of pocket- money theyasked for, The wives always procted thelr "husbands with a smile, and sald: “My dear, the muding are warin und your slippers are ready.” [Lauglter.} Hig idea of o lecture kad rreatly changed. Formerly he bad thought a lecture ought to bo profound, but there were two difficulties in the woy of that,—the firsl was, the peoole did not underatand lim; and the second, that he did not understand himseil. Whoever would help bear lis burdens was his frieud. ‘I'lien ho told a story of some Methodlat breth- ren who narrated their experiences—u story with very littie point and decldedly vulgar, but which was greatly spplauded. Mr. Talmape sald he hind no falth fu incu who could not Jaugh, He kuew a very solemn minlster once,—the most solemn man ho ever did know,—who borrowed $25 of bim, aud out of pure delicacy of fecling :.wv]er referred to the subject ngaln, [Luugh- Ler. The first disnzrecable person to bo scarificd was the foultfinder. To Ehzmen the contrast, the lecturer drew a picture of lhe conteoted man, who took an finterest In evorything, and to whoa all geasons iroupht some- thhug of good. Such men were zood for all, but faulttinders were uo good whstever. Take such one: ‘Tlis wife prepares a dinner which she knows he likes, and he eavs, *Now, my dear, whatever buave you ot herel You know [ can't bear codfisb.”” Or he goes to a placo of vublic entertainment and i dlssatisfied with the musle, and can see nothing but the fot musiclan in the front ground, or th low who blew the Freuch horu aud was remarkably red 1o the face. Or he sttends church und the minisier don’t sult him, whether his tope be didactle, illuatra- tive, or otherwise. Ie won't even go to Heaven comfortably, Like a hedgzeLog, he ta all quilles like n crab, who zoes backward and who turns lour woys at once. 'The lecturer could not sce low such & man could izet into Heaven unless bhe went in bockwards. If b ever got thers o would plek o quarrel with Bt. I’rmr, would find fault with the musle, nnd declare that the gerviees were tou lung, or that the walla of the New Jerusa- lem were out of plumb.
