The City Councils recently passed a bill de- signed to put some check upon the biil- posting nuisance that has so disfigured the Streets of Washington, but it seems the bill is construed by the police authorities to be more Testrictive than the Councils probably in- tended. If that be so, the matter can easily be remedied by explanatory legislation; but we &re surprised to see that the Chronicle, while referring to the subject, takes up the cudgel dustily in defense of the nuisance. We really did not suppose that a voice—unless of au interested party—would be raised in advocacy | of such a crying evil. Not & stranger of intelligence sets his foot m Cur ity, but notices with surprise the shabby jook given Pennsylvania avenue by the tat- tered, paste-daubed hand-bills with which the rickety old tree-boxes are plastered. Whar would be thought in Baltimore, Philadelphia, or New York, of a proposition to give Balti- more street, Chestnut street, or Broadway, over to the tender mercies of the bill-sticker. | after the style in which he is allowed to swab his paste-brush on Pennsylvania ayenue! The Chronicle alleges that this practice is | done by direct permission of the Commissioner of Puplic Buildings, and thinks “he is quite as competent to judge of the propriety of post_ ing bills on the tree-boxes along the Avenue | Ss the authorities of this corporation.” We can’t think the Chronicle is well informed, | Commissioner French is a poet, and. conse- quently, a man of refined tastes, and would ever give his consent to such disfiguremen; ot the principal street of Washington. We are Sure be will disclaim any responsibility tor | this daubing of the Avenue tree-boxes. And, by the way, while on this subject, can’t | the Commissioner manage to replace the mis- erable weather-stained old tree-boxes by some- thing more appropriate to the avenue. If they are intended to be used as a vehicle for the display of hand-bills, they are perhaps just the thing. being in “a concatenation according,” | but other wise decidedly sot. semen prpihieeees THE PENSION OFFICE.

We have no doubt tha the Government has realized immensely in- creased returns of revenue in consequence of these publications; and Congress in declining tointerfere to prevent such publications, doubt- less thought 80 too. The Chronicle, it will be remembered, lately ptraded some advertising income returns thar astonished everybody. These retarns were not only designed to make it appear that tna paper was ahead of all its city cotemporaries in advertising business, but that for the quar- ter then ended, March 31, 1566—a period of stag. nation in newspsper business—its advertising receipts had even shot ahead of all ils previous experience; aithough its columns showed a continually decreasing advertising buginess. We pointed out to that paper the remafkable discrepancy between its paraded statememt'and the story told by ite advertising columns, and advised it not to make its returns too pictures- que, thereby challenging the attention of the public. The Chronicle was open to conviction, it saw the force of the objection, and quietly dropped its romantic exhibit. But now the Intelligencer has gotintected with the itch to figure in the income returns, and it makes the same old blunder made by the Chronicle in parading its embellished return for a quarter notoriously» by the evidence of its advertising columns, the duilestin its advertising bistory. Thus, the advertising returns of the Intelligencer for the live previous quarters were March 31, 15635 $6,490; June 30, 1865, $7,051; September 3, 1565" 85.507: December 31, 1565, $7,787; March 31, 1366, $4,015. These returns show the man- ner in which the prevailing business dullness bad told upon its advertising patronage; and — its advertising col- umns, for the succeeding quarter ending June 30, 1506, showed that its advertising for the quarter had been even less than during the previous dull quarter, when its returns were but Si6Is, yetin the face of all this it makes the portly return of $15,683 for the quarter end- ing June 30, 1565! No wonder its readers held their breath over this astounding Piece ot cheek. Its city advertising had fallen off jargely, it had lost the Governmentad vertising, yet its ostensible receipts were nearly threbie those of the previous quarter! We learn, however, that the sub rosa expla. nation made in behalf of the Jnfelligencer, as to the why and wherefore of this remarkable re- turn, is, that during that quarter the /nfelligen- cer was allowed pay by the Government for some old advertising, inserted without authori- ty, and for which the Government had hereto- fore refused to pays Some of this dead-horse advertising, inserted to fill up with, and taking the chances of getting pay, ran back a year or more, we hear. The Inteiligencer’s showing is, therefore, a big sham. It parades its year-old- dead-horse-advertising wind-fall receipts to make it appear that its bona fide advertising business for the quarterhad shot up to, and beyond, that of any of its city cotemporaries: when in fact it had little more than one quar- ter of the advertising business of the Star, as shown by the business columns of the two pa- pers. Well, if our cotemporary thinks this sort of humbng will pay, it is welcome to aly the glory: meantime the Star pursues the even tenor of its way, making no embroidered in- come returns for humbuggeous effect. Our showing for the six quarters past are plain matter-of-fact returns. as follows :—March 31 1365, €13,7: June 30, 1565, $13,183: September 50, 1865, $14,960; December 31, 1565, $14,952% March 31, 1966, $14,446; June 30, 1966, $15,119.

The National Union Uiad fui- lowed, escorting the southera deiegauons Kentucky came first, and was followed by Tennesses, seventy-five in number, beaded by & barouche, containing Gov.

Watronat Guargps HALL, | o'clock. —The Southern delegations bave just arrived. ‘The delegates entered and occupied seats, the Tennessee delegates in front. The session of the Southern delegates will soon be held. Charles Gibbons, Esq., 10 a few words, wel- comed the delegates Col. Newness, of Kentucky, then introduced Col. Stokes, of Tennessee, who read the call tor the Convention. Dr. Sidney, of Missiesippi, was then requested by the Chairman, to read the temporary officers. e nominated Thomas Darant, of Louisiana, for temporary President. Hs name was re- ceived with great applause, and he was unani- mously elected. Mr. Durant replied in a brief speech to the compliment. The temporary secretaries were then nomi- nated and elected. The proceedings were then opened with prayer by the Rey. J. W. Jackson, of Missis- sippi Mr. Gibbons grected the delegates from the South as fellow loyalists—fellow-citizens, friends and brethren. There was no loyai blood on their bands, and their souls were free from the guilt of treason. They bad held fast their ntegrity aithough their homes had been desolated, their pleasant places laid waste, and themselves and their children driven to exile. The sympathies which men of the North felt for them at that time, was flashed from a million of Northern bayonets, and pronounced by the moaths of Northero cannon. [Cheers.] He prociaimed it as the honest sentiment of the North, that when the South returned to her duty, she must come in new robes, with new covenants for erty, equality and justice: led by her ow loyal Unionists who are tree from the guilt of treason. [Cheers.] What hope had they in the future? or what security had they if unpunisbed and impenitent traitors were to be reinstated in power by the arbitrary and besotted will of one man under a Consti- tution which they bad deliberately foresworn ! The answer was already written in the blood of the murdered loyalists of New Orleans They (the men of the South) were here on the high and solemn mission of re-establishing the American Union on the broad and sure foundation of equal and exact justice to all men (Cheers) It could stand upou no other. They conld not be so unmindtul of al! the les sons of the past as to be led by vagrant poli- tictans into another compromise with crime, instead of liftung up from degradation those who bad been its victims. [Cheers.] He closed bis remarks by a reiteration of Words of welcome to the city of Philadelphia, where the holy experiment of a government based on the equality of man had been inau- gurated, and where that Government had been administered justly and in its purity by that illustrious man whose “name alone strikes every title dead.” (Loud cheers. } PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.—Gov. Hamilton, in response to address, expressed thanks for wel- come received. He asserted that proscription of who Sided Goverument was as rampant, as defiant, as vindictive, and as cruel, as at any period during the rebellion. He admitted the trath of the assertion made by the Administra- tion print, that such Convention would not have dared to meet in the South. They would bave braved the fate of those loyalists who were massacred in New Orleans Goy. Hamilton said con vention was called to ask Northern delegations to welcome them, and to prove that all people would be satis- fied with nothing less than actual security of individual equality under the Constitution to all men. Ifthey could be met in that spirit, their bearts would be with those delegations from Northern States. Their fortunes were long since gone, but they pledged their lives ard honors never to ecase in their efforis until where tbe Constitution extendeit covered none but freemen, practically and theoretically. After the conclusion of Hamilton's speech, some one in the crowd called for “ Three cheers for the dead dog of the White House,” which was followed by a pretty general booing and exclamatiens of derision. Three cheers were civen for Parson Brownlow and for Goy. Ham- ilten. Chas. Gibbons, chairman of the reception committee, then came forward with a small gavel im his hand, and said:—“I holdin my hand the identical gavel used in Charlesten, S.C., when the convention assembled.” Special committees on credentials and per- manent organization appointed. . C. Fulton, ot Baltimore, has been selected by Maryland delegation to represent that State on committee on resolutions. Action of the City Councils. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3—The city councils held aspecial meeting this morning, and passed resolutions declaring—“That we recognize the men about to assemble in convention in this city as the true and tried patriots of the South, who risked tbeir lives and verilled their for- tunes to maintain their devotion to the Gov- ernment of these United States, amid the dan- gers and trials of rebellion, and tha’ as such we honor them for their courage and love them tor their fidelity to principle.

Republican members of Councils in body joined procession as it passed Independence Hall ne HAMLIN’S RESIGNATION. Boston. Sept. 3—Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, Jollector of this Port, tenders his resignation, in a letter to the President dated August 23, in which he says :—~I do not fail to observe the movements and efforts which haye been and are now being made to organize a party in the country consisting almost exclusively of those engaged in the late rebellion, and their allies, who sought by other means to cripple and embarrass the Government. These classes of persons, with a small faction of others, con- stitute the organization. It proposes to defeat and overthrow the Union Kepublican arty. and to restore to power, without sufficient guarantees for the future protection of men who have been loyal, those who sought to destroy the Government. I gave all the influence I possessed to create and uphold the Union Republican party during the war, with- oyt the aid of which our Government would have been destroyed and the rebeiliona snuc- cess. With such a partyas has been inaugn- rated, and for such purposes, I have no sym- pathy, nor can 1 acquiesce in its measures by my silence. 1 therefore tender to you my res- ignation of the office of collector of customs for the district of Boston and Charlestown, to take effect from the time when a successor shall be appointed and qualified.” ——_ +r eo —___ LOCAL NEWS.

The oecasional delay of the mills still con- tunnes in order to furnish water for mayiga- jon. in the last annual report of the President and Directors of the Canal we find the following statement made nearly 4 year ago by Obarles P. Manning, Engineer and Superintendent, relative to the cause of ail the complaint now heard among the Millers and Merchants on the Canal :—+O wing to the great draught of water from Dam No. 1, chiefly requisite for milling, rather than the legitimate purposes of the canal, tbe time is rapidly approaching, it it has not already arrived, when the construc- tion ofa newand larger feeder-canal in lieu of and entirely apart from the existing narrow and unsubstantial one at this dam, should be commenced, and diligently prosecuted to an early completion. At present the consumption of water for milling purposes in Georgetown exceeds four millions of gallons hour, or enough to furnish lockage to tide-water for forty loaded boats, and a like number of emp- ty ones backagain. The cost of constructing the proposed new feeder will probably be less than, but will not exceed $25,000." From this it Appears that Engineer Manning at least an- ticipated the difficulties that now cause so much eomplaint.
