Yesterdny’s session of the National Con- vention was a sores of dofents for the third- termers in the preliminary skirmishing, and resulted, at tho close, In a substantlal victory for thelr adversaries, We have indleated !n another article the various mistakes and discomlitures of Mr. Aonkling, the leader of tho third-termers, at tho morning ses#fion, In the afternoon the opposing force took complete possession of tha situ itfon, and adjourned only after draw- ing out a test vote which exposed the weak- ness of tho Graut faction, ‘The story may be told briefly. ; When the Convention met In tho afternoon, {t was found that tho Couuittes on Creden- tlols wos not yet ready to report, Gon, Hen- derson, of lows, moved that the Cominittes on Rules be {nutructed to report, ‘This mo- tion was Gpposed by Gen, Logan Ina speech fu which he vaguely charged somebody with “trying to ride rough-shod over the Conven- tlon.? Such Jnauguage, uttered by ' the “member from Jackson,” who had bosset the Springfield Convention, was naturally re- celved with doriston by the Convention and the 12,000 spuctators, Gen, Gurilcld, the Chairuan of the Committee on Rules, ex- muthed very cloarly that, while the Commit- tee had informally passed 4 resolution not to report until after the Contnittes on Croden- tlala had reported, the point had been dis- tlnctly made by himself, and acquiesced in by tha Comnnittee, that.thore should be no effort to resist any arder the Convention mightsee iit to make calling for the report on rules, This disposed of all question of bad faith, Various speeches had been made—many of them wide of the mark,—when Me, Conk- Jing moved as n substitute that the Commit- tee on Credentials be ordored to roport It was upon this substitute that the vuta was taken,—the Grant men, under Conkling's loadershlp, voting aye, aud the antlGraut delegates, us o rule, voting no. ‘This, vote disclosed two itnportaut conditions, viz: 1, ‘That tho Charman (Mr, Hoar), pending tho adoption of tho rules, will hold that all yoted by call of the roll shail represent the individual sentiment of the delogutes. 2 That the Grant strength in the Conyen- tion falls early 100 votes short of a majority, uso subsequent analyzation of tho balloting shall show, ‘Under the rulings of the Chair, tho National Convention will be a Convention of the Peo- ple, and not 9 Convention of States, until such timo as the Convention itself shall have the opportunity to ratify the same principle {u the rule to that effect which will be re- portad from the Comuuittos, Dba Chale luld down this rule before the call of tho roll began. Only ono Chairman of a dolegation (Kentuoky) undertook to resist It, and tho four delegates whose yotes he sought to dis- franchise rose upon their senla, were recog- nized by the Chair, and tind thoir yotes re- corded. Indeed, Mr. Conkling is sald to hava ordered the Chairman of the Kentucky delegation to deslst, and ho himself roportod tho divided vote of tho Now York delegation, . showing the defection of the twenty-threa delegntes who have pledged themselves to vote against Grant, There will be no unit rule at any time or upon, any subject in the Chicago Convention. ‘The significance of the vote on the ques- tion before the Convention Is apparent. Ar, Conkling’s proposition, representing tho Grant faction, had 818 votes. Thore were 400 agninst his proposition. But even this staté-” ment falls to exhibit the full monsuro of Grant’s wenkness, Included In the 818 votes recorded for the Conkling proposition wore the following ballots which will not be cast for Grant's nomination: Iilinois (Loxits Logan delogates) Vonmout (Nutt Grant). ide Mionosotn (anti-Grant) Ponnsylvania (among tho antl-Grat ‘Total. oe Deducting 0 87 votes, which for various. reasons were cast for the Conkling proposl- tion by antt-Grant delogates, the strongth of the third-term candidate Is shown to bo S3t delegates, which may be increased to 985 if the Grant delegates from Kansas bo ad- initted, Yesterday's vote rovealed that Grant will jot recelye more than 285 votes in tho Con- yontion, and, estimating tho Influence which tho exlibition of weakness willexert, he (rill probably not receive even that number, ‘The adjournment after the yoto was taken had no special significance. It was moved by an ontl-Grant man and practically con- enrred In by both factions, There was no object in forcing tho report upon rules after this test vote had been brought out. It was known that tho Credentials Comimittco was not ready to report, ‘The antl-Grant men had no fear of taking another night for consulta- tion upon such nn assurauco of strength. ‘The Grant men will not Hkely find much so- Ince ina policy of delay upon that showing, Weakness grows weaker, and strength stronger, at such a juncturo in politics, rns THE THIRD TERM AND STATE 80VER- EIGHTY, Driven to desperation by the manifest weakness and Injustice of their cause, the third-term managers havo at Inst adopted and nttempted to tuclude inthe great body of Republican doctrine the odious Demo- erntie principle of State Sovereignty. Mr, John Lyle King, counsel for the Logan delo- mation from Illinols, in his argument Wednesday night, formally enunciated this doctrine as thaton which his clients bused their cnse. Though ho Js tho only advocate of that cause who has had the courage open- ly and boldly to follow his main proposition to its logical conoluston, it may bo found embodied in somo disguised or distorted, form, In every defense of tho action of tho Jate Illinois State Convention that has or can be made. Mr, King sald (and, as counsel for the Logan delegation, he had the right to speak for all the fraudulont delegates) : In tne sense intended by Senuter Logan, tho Chicago Convention Is relly 2 Convention of States.” ‘That is, It 1s composed of deloga- tiona representing the collective Republican parieat each State. Hopresontation by States 4 tho constituent clement of the National Con- vention. ‘The delegates roagive commissions to auitta in tho Convention, formalized and nt- tested by tho organization of the party which fa highest and ultimate in the State, Certainly, this much of pawor in the nature of Stat anvereiynty—namely: power to. solect its modo of solecting delegutes—is tinplied in the relation of tho State to tho Nationnt Convention. Tho repreguntation of tho State in the Natonal opminization Is of tho aubstunce and reality, or very ossence, of the relation, and is mat tor of right. Dut the modo of selestii or constitut! the delegation of tho Stato. is nota matter of right or principle, but is ong meroly of form, dependent on considerations of convenlenco, expediency, or polloy, which, at- least in tho absonce of spocitic instruction or- positive direction from tne Nationul authori ty, the Nauonat Republlean Committey, is wholly and Unally dotorminablo by the judg- mont und discration of the State or Convention to bo represonted, .. ..

He Ind never known the plirase Stute-soverelgn- ty tobe used wuless thora was rascality of some kind behind it Tho Repubifenn . party must grea with him here. it there !s ono principle — that tho Republican party has vigorously coimbated from the day of its organization {ill now, itis this same odlous, destructive, tand contradictory assumption of StateSov- ‘erelgnty within and exclusive of Natlonal- Soverelgnty, ‘Tha idea that States as such have a Sovereignty of any kind in the lte- publican party, is repugnant to every suntl- inent and opinion on which that party was founded, Not only so, but tho submission of Benya on behalf of an alleged “ Sovereign” to compulzory adjudication by anothor and, highor power wag a formal ond voluntary ab- dication of the pretended “ Soverelgnty,” if {tevor existed.

Where Is thatr Soy. ereignty ? Thora ara no degrees of Sovereignty. Ifn State Is Sovereign at all, 1b Is Soveredgn all over, In aconyention of Sovorelgnsall must lave equal part,—the aamo power ‘and the sumo yote, Is this true of tho State ddlega-; tlons now assembled in ‘Chicago? Mas “Sovereign” Rhode Island the same vota as “Soverelgn” New York? Every intelligent man knows that it has not. Now York has seventy votes, and Rhode Island has butelght, "Tho reason of the dltference Js, that. the vot- crs of those States are represented In propor tlon to thelr numbers, Both are treated alike in the matter of tho four delegates-at-large, each Stato in the Union having tho sme representation to correspond to Ita represent- gulouin the Federal Senate.

Apart from the routlué work of the Con- vention, the importance of the questions dis- -eussed, and the outcome of the candidacy, 9 thoroughly interesting significance attaches to It as an episode of political progress and fn exposition of Republican. principles in thelr: fullest bloom. . Since this Convention met, the army of census-takers for the tenth “cunsus of the United States have commenced their canvass of tho. population, as well as the religion, cducation, and occupations of tho people of this country. Since tho first census was taken, in 1700, Involving the enumeration of a people hardly eight times larger thuw the present povulation of Chi- cago, tho Nation has grown from four mill- tons to fifty millions, and made correspond- ing progress in every department of growth, political, socinl, matérial, educational, and religious, until the’ Republic now stands ready to welcome all the world to share its advantages, aud offers asylum for the op pressed of all creeds, nll political systems, all races, And now con the representatives of tho great party doring whose existence of a quarter of a century the most of this progress has .been made, in conven- tion assembled; the party of freedoin that crushed tho great Slavebiolders’ Rebellion; that libernted nonrly five millions of slaves; that freed the country from the domination odious dogins of Stato-Soverelgnty ; that gave to the people a degree of free speech, free, thought, and free uctlon they had never had before; that elevated the chattel to tho dig- nity of manhood and ownership of himself gud the fruits of his labor; and that has " sprend the fame of thiscountry to the ends of (ils earth,—o sorles of Inbors in comnpar- ison with which those of Hercules ara insig- nificant by us inuch og montal and moral achleyemonts always surpass tho purely physical, ‘The delegates are hero representing 8 vast population of all nationalities, representing thofr knowledge, thelr principles, thelr enter- prise, thoir onergy, thelr push and nervous force, ‘hey have gathered here from an area as largo ay all Europe, brought here by palace cars over 80,000 miles of railroad from remote distances, and yet communtcat- {og daJly and hourly with thoir constituents bya half-million miles of tolographic nerves that nigbt and day oestlashing news not only to very corner of our own land, but to every part of Europe, ” ‘rhe spoctacie ts one of no ordinary Intor- est.

No one presout at the inorning session of the Convention yesterday who was in 9 pos!- tlon to hear and seo the debaters can have falled to remark tho sneering tone and haughty manner of ‘ tho gentleman from New York.’ There was a troubled ex- pression on Mr. Conkling’s faco which seemed to Indicate that ho was secking an escape from inward anngyance and embar- rassiment by puttlng some indignity upon those against whom he-was unsuccessfully contending. He suvered at Mr, Hale gratuitously, and thon sncered at the Chair- is safo to | parts. Nover was there a people in general | man of the Convention for no better reason than because Senator Hoar comes from the saine section of the country as Mr. Hale, Thore was a goneral impression that Mr. Conkling’s sorrows, disappointments, and apprehensions wero boaring hardly upon his tomper, which !s said never to be the best, and he turned’ upon his adversarics tho wholo force of his imperlous mannor and cutting sarcasu. ‘ But “the gentleman from New York" was met by men of cooler headsand equal ability. ‘The question was upon taking a recess, whieh, was moved by Mr. Conkling almost as soon as the’ Convention had assembled. To argued that no body of men could transact any business until the credentials of dele- gates had been passed upon and all tho seats in the Convention had been detinitly allotted to the proper clalmants,’ This was answered by Mr, Halo convincingly when ho auld that, the present.,Covgresg had been In seasion about cight months, and that, {ft It had fol- lowed tho rule laid down by “the gentleman from New York,” and postponed all business until tho last contested case In that body had been finally setticd, it would not up to this time have been able to make or entortaln 0 single motion.” ‘This view of the question sct- tlec it, and the Convention’ rejected Afr. - Conkling’s propusttion by au overwhelming vote, a ‘Tho sneers which wero so frecly Indulged In by “the gontlenian from New York” drew out in every instance a crushing repar téc. Sald Mr. Hale: ‘If Tam lesa rasplng and more aminble than the gentleman from Now York, thle vast audience knows why.” And the vast. audience evidently did know. why, since it received this reply with thun- ders of applause. ‘ When, subsequently, 0 ro- cess was taken on the motion of Mr. Frye, the gentleman from Now York, announcing his concurrence in tho proposition, sarcas- tically congratulated the Maine delegution upon the enormous amount of business that lund been transacted by reason of voting down ‘hls previous motion to the same effect. Mr. Fryo graciously accepted these congratula- tions, and predicted that * the gentleman from New York” would again have occasion to congratulate the Mulne delegation at tho close of the Convention, .

Mr, Conkling’s premature ‘motion to take 5 ‘recess till 6 o'elock, when Jt was found that the Commit- -teo on Credentials was not ready to report, was understood to ben part of a general ‘volley agreed upon by the third-termors to retard the business of the Convention as much ps possible: at every. polut,: with, the design of prolonging the life of the Conven-: ‘Lon and postponing the ballot on thé noming- tion to the last'moment, The -hope which | Ves at the bottom of this‘ policy fs that somo, dglegatés amay bo wearled ‘and others starved Into the support of; the third- term candidate, whose only chance is din an accession ‘from dolegates who aro: ‘now opposed to hin, This program seemed to be thoroughly understood by the’opposl-, tlon, and the Jmportant feature of yesterday” morning's struggle was that the opposition showed sufliciont strength ‘to. defeat the “Conkling project at any point whore It may bo necessary, ‘This 1s why tho proposition ude by the goutleman from “New York" to take recess was voted down, Tho Conyentlon’adjourned only when it was -lscovered - that no bustuess beyond: agreeing’ ‘upon 9 permanont orgauiza- tion could‘'be properly transacted until -tho Conunittes’ on Crodentiala should | report.
