Henry Ward Beecher has written a vig- Orous letter endorsing the Cleveland Conser- ‘ative Convention. Mr. Beecher regards the early restoration of the Union as essential, nor only to peace and political harmony, but to Social progress, and to every form of personal, educational and religious culture. He beheves that the new and more advanced ideas to which the experience of the last five years bas given birth are quite sufficient to overrule and Avert the dangers which are feared from the renewed participation of the South in the Government, and insists that the bes: welfare of the freedmen demands that ther should no jomger be regarded asa distinc. class, to be governed and provided for by themselves. pater ssbshieetaeciace els Meas ResiexEp.—J.

SENATORWWRIGHT. A dispatch states tht “Senator Wright. of New Jersey, is rapidly sinking, and no hopes are entertained of his recovery.” Well. we would advise those who are waiting to fill his political shoes not to be too confident of soon coming in possession of their preperty. He is one of the most obstinate men in the matter of Gying, on record. Last winter, it will be re- membered, he was very ill, and his death was absolutely Announced in the papers. Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, who was in New York at the time, promptly contradicted the report, saying that Mr. Wright had promised to be in Washington to give bim his yote when needed, and be knew his colleague's determi. nation of character so well that he was cer- tain he had not died with the promise unre- deemed. Senator W. is now zealously enlist- ed in support of the President's restoration policy, and we don’t believe he has any idea of dying until that poticy is triumphant. MILITARY BESPEOTS TO THE PRESIDENT. Major Gen’! Hooker, commanding the De_ partment of the Lakes, bas issued an order directing that in view of the fact that infor- mation had been received from the Secretary ot War that the President would pass through that department, all officers of the army in the department, and the troops under their com- mand, unite in paying him the respect due him as the Chief Magistrate of the nation. To- day, when the President is expected to arrive at Detroit, the troops at Forts Wayne and Gratiot are oraered to proceed to Detroit and Teport to the chief marshal at3 p.m. Ats P. m., all officers at or in the vicinity of De- troit, will report in person, with side arms, to the Commanding General of the Department, to pay their respects to the President. FBEEDMEN’S AFFAIRS IN FAIRFAX COUNTY. The Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau in Fairfax county, Va., reports that the affairs of the freedmen are progressing favorably in the county, and that eight schools have been established, which are well attended, and which cannot but be insirumentalities of great benefit to the children of the freedmen. The feeling between the whites and blacks is re_ ported as amicable, and no obstacles in the way of the operation of the Bureau have been presented. DISPOSALS OF THE PUBLIO LANDS. About 3,150 acres of the public lands were disposed of at the land office at Menasha, W1s. consin, during the past month, as follows :— With agricultural college scrip, 1,220 acres; under the homestead taw, 1,289 acres; and the remainder with military warrants.

Important, If True, from Chicago, Threatened Riet on the Visit of the Pres- idemt—The Merchants’ Board of Trade Refuse their Hall—The Chicago Times says the Friends of the President will hold Posses of Chicago during his stay There—A e-sided Story by some Radical Reporter, d Burrato, Sept. 4.—Private dispatch from Detroit this a. m. says General Grant and Ad- Miral Farragut are in Detroit, having lef; Presidential party at Cleveland. They took steamboat last night and arrived in Detroit this morning. Buffalo Express this morning has special dis- patch from Chicago which says everything there points to riot on President’s arrival. Chicago Times has long leader to-day urging to it, and in commenting on action of Board of Trade in not desiring to have their hall used for political speech-making, says:—« What they deem politics we cannot say, but it is Perhaps our duty to say that the Presi- ident will be protected in whatever he May eay in the Board of Trade Hall and elsewhere, so long as he shall remain in Chi- cago.” The article in question concludes with the significant remark that “the friends of the President will hold possession of Chicago during his tarry here.” (NotTE.—We give this despatch as it reaches Us by the wires. It is evidently, however, the manipulation of some radical reporter; and the Western Associated Press reporters, we may say, allow their radical partizan feelings to color their statements to an extent that calis for some correction by the management.— Ed.

Election ef Hi James Speed, of K ‘es emancipated— mn Resolutions. fleet <piecsnoends PHILADELPnIA, Sept. 4.—The Von vention as- sembled at 10 ented Rev. Mr. Matlock opened the proceedings with prayer. E. W. Ashburn, of Georgia, made a report trom the Committee on Credentials, that the Convention receive the report of the delega- tions from each State, as final, as to the quali- fications of its members. The report of the Committee on Permanent Organizations was read. lon. James Speed, of Kentucky, was an- nounced as permanent President and his name was received with loud applause. Mr. Speed, on socepting the chair. acknowl- edged the honor in a brief speech. He said:— We Southern men, who have seen this great sin of slavery, know, historically and experi- mentally, that it must perish from the face of the earth. While we wish we wish peace permanent and sure, established on the principle of equal equal security to tion of the He justice, equal rights, and men within the jurisdic. nited States.

He desired the god to be governed with a syirit o: harmony, that nothing should be done in anger, hatred, ill- will, or revenge, but the proceedings be goy- erned by principles ef justice, right, mercy and love. Burnside, and Generals Gesry, Butler, others were invited to the platform. A discussion then took place on the follow- ing motion of Mr. George Sands, of Md. Resolved, Tat the Convention now proceed to the appointment of a committee on resolu- tions and an address, to consist of two mem- bers from each State and the District of Colum- bia, to be selected by the respective State deie- gations; and that all resolutions declaratory of Principles be reterred to the Committee on Re- solutions, witnout debate. Gen. Hamilton moved to strike out Iast clause of resolution to refer—that the resolu- tion be referred without debate. A lengthy aiscussion occurred pro and con. Finally loud cries of “Question, question.” trike out the words ~ with. hen putand carried, and the resolution, as amende i, was adopted. Mr. Hugh L. Kona, of Baltimore, offered the following: Resolved, That the Convention urge the loyal men of the North to support the Congress of the United States in demanding of the South. ern States the wise guaranties of the Constitu- tional Amendments passed by Congress, and call upon the patriotic men of the loyal States to use every exertion to secure the ratification ofthe amendments by the States; and that as we believe the justice we mete shall be the measure of our safety, that in our opinion their can be no permanent peace or security for loyal men of the South without a return to negro suffrage.
