Mc. John F. Ennis, of be Second Ward, called the Convention to order, by remarking, ‘It is desired, gentlemen, that the Convention shail now organize and proceed to the transaction of the business for which we are assembled I therefore move that Mr. F MeNerhany, of the Sixth Ward, be called to the chair”? Mr. MeN. firmly declined serving. Mr. Mohan. | move that Mr Edward Simms be nominated president. Mr. Simms. | would greatly prefer that Mr. MeNerhany should serve. I hope the nomination Will be voted upon. The dertination of Mr. MeN. was not accepted; and, on the vote being taken, Mr. McN. was unanimously elected president. On taking the chair he remarked: “Gentlemen of the Convention, I beg to tender you my wa:m- estand most sincere thanks for the unmerited honor you have been pleased to extend to me by Hing me to preside over your deliberations. words of thankfulness 1 need not ex Buf, as I can better show kindness and regard, by striving to sustain the FESS; ‘ou my appreciation of your Fesponsibilities of the tially. “ean bring no great amount of experience to enable me to fulfill the obligations you have laid upon me; but J can bring and will bring myself to a Willingness and di nation to discharge the duties of the sitnation faithfully and fully. “* We have assembled bere to discharge a high nd solemn daty—to nominate a candidate te ¢ Mayoralty of this proad and beautiful city— ¢ metropolis of the Federal Union, and very noch of the success of the party we represent, ax well as the future weal cr woe of the city, will depend upon onr action to-night...

Ennis was requested to serve as Y¥. but he asked to be excused. and named - P. Mobnn, of the Third Wa d, to fili that position. The excuse was granted, and Mr. Mohnun was elected On motion, the Secretary called over the list of delegates from the several Waids.

Davis, der, Edward Simms, Peter Gallant, J.D E M. Clark Mr. Brandt then offered the following series of resolutions : 1. Resolved, That, in presenting the name of James G. Berret for eleetic Mayor «f the city of V i we deem it proper to protesi, upoa ever sideration of truth and justice, ayainst the impression which to some extent pre- vails in this community, as well as in Congress, that the present city! government is responsible for the violence and outrage unfortunately pre- vailing here. [They are properly attributable to pauses of an entirety different character. The di fective moral training of the youth of the land, consequence of the geneval disregard of parental tons; the almost universal laxity of erimi- a sickly sentimentality the punisiment of capital crimes; the inadequate punishment inflicted for minor olfrnces; the bad example of men in high places— these and other causes combined have vitiated the best elements of society everywhere, and inflicted open it evils innumerable, if not incurable J 2 Resolved, That prominent among these causes Was the introduction into our midst of the Know-Nothing organization, which. by arraying friend against friend and brother against brother, bax broken up the pure fountains of friendship and love, precipitated upon us the bitter waters of fraternal strife and hatred, and shaken the very foundations of society. 3 Resolved, ‘That the evils incident toa parti- zan police are justly chargeable to that party. W hile in power it invaded, in a manner hitherto unprecedented, every department of the muni- cipal government with the most ruthless pro- scription, stnking down all who had not sub- scribed to its iltegal tenets, and rendering life and Beevers, insecure by the notoriously partisan cbaracter ef the entire police force of the city. id on be influences engendered in st- eret political clubs, stimulated rather than re- pressed outrages of the most serious character.

We therefore call upon all who ¢ Opposed to the principles and practices of Kaow Nothingism, as evidenced here as well as in Baltimore, Louisville, Cinciagati, New Or- leans, and other larre cities, to stand firm and unite with us in ecushing finally and forever, (he last remnants of this mis able faction Kesolved, ‘Vuat the invasion of our then t and peaceful city of the Jast rieipal election, by | ww Nothing Baltimore, is with parallel in uunities.

[Applause | Mr. Borrows. I really hope these resolutions will not pass. I can claim to be one of the first opposers of Kuow Notbingism. I voted against one dear to me, now in the grave, merely because he was a member of the Know Nothing organi- zation. But, sir, some of those who fought the last battle have declared themselves against party nominations. Our object is to select those in favor of law and order for all purposes. I be- lieve that (be Know Nothing party organization is dead, but I believe these resolutions will re- vive it. 1 believe that they will not unite with us any of those who are not in our ranks, and will net preserve our party from desertions. It ix enough to present a candidate unobjec- tionable in morals, deportment, and general cha- racter, 1 am willing to let “by-gones be by- ‘ .’) and lay down my arms, but not to revive Know-Notbingism by the spirit of these resolu- tions. I koow the gentleman nominated, and I feel the highest respect for him, and though I did not vote for him, 1 am for him. But Tam for peace. Let us present a candidate as we have presented him, and let the opposition bring for- ward their candidate without reviving “old sores.??

Reticiovs.—The afternoon prayer-meetings still continue to prove interesting to the reli- giously-inclined, and to those, many of whom have heretofore been careless and indifferent on the subject of their eternal welfare. The meet- ings which occur daily in the various churches of this city are almost always well attended, and much good work bas been done among the hith- erto thoughtless and hardened as to religious in- fluences, through the earnest prayers and exhorta- tions of the chosen of God. A considerable num- ber have experienced and professed religion among us during this awakening; while others have become anxious in earnest for their eternal welfare. Noone, in such a time as this, should he deaf to the calls of the spirit of eternal life. The five o’clock meeting at the Thirteenth street Baptist church, (Dr. Teasdale’s,) yester- day even nes was a very interesting one to all present. The attendance was quite large, and the services were participated in by Rev. Messrs. Sunderland, samson, Granberry, Butler, Finkle, rley, Hill, Kingsford and others: ‘and the union of purpose which was manifested by the various religious elements present, and the man- ner in which they united in the object which had called them together were glorious evidences to the interested, of the true riches of that re- ligion which ts of God alone. Mr. A. E. Beach, of New York city, who is well known as the principal editor of the **Scientific American,” was present and addressed the meeting, giving some interesting incidents of the late religious awakening in that city. FemaLr Snovtper-wiTTeRs.—About eleven o’clock Wednesday night a young lady and gen- tleman were passing along the avenue, in the Second ward, and were as merry as possible. The young lady appeared to be delighted with an account of a severe tussle in which her com- nion had been engaged. About twenty paces Penina was another lady, walking rapidly, and appeeay listening to the loud conversation going on before her. A fewsteps behind, the two watchmen on the beat were hurrying on to ever- take the ladies. They were on the business of pre- venting a fight between the females, which it was suspected would come off. The lady following the merry pair was stopped by the watchmen and pursvaded to give up the pursuit. Theaffair is as yet wrapped in mystery. Tur Urrer Potomac Suan Fisuertes —At Hunter's Landing, Jackson City, the proprietcr has caught, within the last five days, 3,733 shad of the finest quality, and 10,400 herring. These fish were all disposed of to the Washington hucksters at fair prices. Mr. Hunter has thus far this season been very successful with his ope- rations at this coin even more so than many proprietors of what are considered better fishing grounds farther down the river. We are happy to bear that some one among those concerned in this branch of trade, is likeiy toclear the expense of his outfit. Some of the heavy proprietors in the lower river, we under- stand. are about to throw up the game for this season entirely, there being no prospect of a snc- cessfnl termination of theircampaign against the finny tribe. For Covrt.—Yesterday. Daniel Stewart and John Ennis were arrested by Officer Gormley for waylaying and assaulting a Polander. It came out in the evidence that the prosecuting witness had been bought off for $5 and alarmed by threats; but sutlicient evidence was given to justify the ding of the case to the Criminal Court. En- s was dismissed, no evidence appearing against him. Stewart was held to bail in $300 for his appearance, G. W. Adrien qualifying as his se- curity. Conviction oF SomERVILLE.—The jury in the case of Wm. J. Somerville, (the accomplice of Pullen,) for robbing the Custom-House at Rich- mond, Va. of $20.65~ in coin, have agreed upon a verdict as follows: “We, the jury, find the prisoner not guilty of breaking and entering, as charged in the ndictment, but guilty ef grand larceny, and ascertain the term of his imprison- mentin the penitentiary at three years? The prisoner was thereupon sentenced, and soon af- terward conyeyed to prison. Supreme Court—Thursday.—No.76. John N. Ahl, appellant, vs. Roswell B. Johnson.
