Tue Fine Arte—tIn view of the growing interest in matters pertaining to art, just now manifested here, our readers will be giad to know the fact that Mr. Leutze, the eminent artist, whore works are so well known and so popular in all quarters, has again temporarily opened a studio in Washington. He is here, we believe, tor the purpose of making avail- able hereafter, as occasion may demand, the valuable historical material now so plentifal hereabouts, but is at the <ame time prepared to execute any commissions he may receive,—par- ticularly in the way of portraits. ‘We regret that he brought nothing with him for exhibition; but considering his reputation as an artist, and particularly that some of the best and most noted portraits in Washington are from his easel, we are sure that the walls of his stadio will not be long without objects of interest and beauty. Mr. Leutze’s rooms are at No. 444 14th street above G, where he will be happy to see his old friends, and make new ones.

A Committee on Credentials was appointed, and during their absence the Convention was addressed by Hon. J. A. Cres- well, Judge Bond, and other gentlemen. At the afternoon session the committee sub- mitted a report, agreed to by fourteen out of the twenty members, declaring that the delegates elected by the Baltimore Uity Convention of the 29th ult. were regularly elected in accord- ance with perty useges, and should therefore be recognized as the representatives of Balti- more city in the State Convention. After a long and tumultout debate, the report of the committee admitting the regularly elected del- egates was adopted, the vote standing ayes 67, mays 13. lutions were unanimously adopted af- firming the devotior ot the Republicans of Maryland to the principles of manhood suff- Tage; the approval of the reconstruction policy of Congress, and insisting upon thorough econ- omy in the administration of the Government.

Wilmer contended that he had a right to offer it, although strong efforts were made to keep him down, and proceeded to read his resoluuon—-that our delegates to the Chicago Conventior, reccommend the adoption of a platform by that convention distinctly and emphatically announcing that the Republican party of thé nation adheres to im; man- hood suffrage as a cardinal principle of the party, and that tney shall maintain it, both in theory and practice, thoughout the Union.” The resolution was voted down by a vote of 65 to 13, when Dr. Wilmer, the sole representative from Charles county, withdrew from the body. [The delegates from Queen Anne’s county yoted against both resolutions in favor of man- hood suffrage.)

There were about 50 persons present besides those above mentioned, anumber of whom were colored. A committee, consisting of Judge H. L. Bond, J. H. Lercome, J. F. Carter,S.T. Hatch B.F.M. Hurley, was appointed to’report resolutions for the action ot the body. During the absence of the committee the convention was addressed by Mr. Horley. He wanted to know what they desired bim to talk about. [A voice, “Give us your opinion of the rascally action of that con- vention to-day.) The speaker replied that the action of the Front street Convention was dis- graceful to the party, and before he (the speak- er) would become party to such proceedings a= was enacted there to-day, he would say: “Go it boys, you who have fought under the Confede- rate flag.” Before the speaker concluded the Committee on Resolutions appeared, and through their chairman, Judge Bond, reported a resolution, that a committee of six be appointed to prepare call for the Republicans of Maryland favor- able to the election of Gen.

Mr. Lindsay sued the judges of election before Mr. John A. Simmons, a Justice of the peace in this city, who ren- dered a judgement of $100 against each of said election judges. An appeal was taken from said deci-ion, and the case came up for trial betore our County Court last week, oceupying theattention of that tribunal for sev. eral days. The judges of election were abl; Tepresented by Sease Pearre, of Cumberland; Grayson Eichelberger, Milton G. Urner and E. ¥. Goldsborough, of the Frederick bar; and Mr. Lindsay by Messrs.

Referred to Committee on Territories. Also, resolutions of same body, asking per- mission to raise three regiments of troops for local defence. Referred io Committee on Mil- itary Affairs. Mr. Sumner presented a memorial from citi- zens of North Carolina ask; the removal of political disabilities from Joho Pool, Seuator elect. Referred to Judiciary Commitiee. Also, petition relative to the value of pulyer- ized fuel, and asking that the Necretary of the Navy be authorized to detail a commission to examine into the merits of pulverized fuel. Re- Terred to Committee on Nayal Affairs, Mr. Williams asked for the reading of com- munications relative to the suspension of Gov- ernor Ballard, of Idaho Territory, by which it appeared that the President had reconsidered his determination to suspend Governor Bal- lard, but, although Mr. Ballard received notifi- cation of his suspension, through some inatten- tion he tailed to receive notice that the order for his suspension was revoked. Mr. Williams sacd last March one Murphy was nominated to succeed Mr. Ballard, and he Senate rejected the nomination. Ballard Republican and Murphy a Democrat, that was all the reason that he (Mr. W.) knew why the nomination had been made. ‘The Secretary of State says in his communica- tion thatas the suspension had been revoked there was ne necessity for sending in the rea- sons on which the suspension had first been ordered. This was a plain violation of the Provisions of tenure of-office law. The Treas- ury Department had refused to pay Govern- or Fallard bis salary sia: the 2th day of August Iast. He (Mr. W.) bad gone to that Department to see abou and had been in- formed by one of the officials that the salary ‘was not paid because Mr. Ballard had been sus- pended. This was but a part of the plan that id been adopted to drive Mr. Ballard out of office, solely for the reason that be was a Re- publican. ‘What he wanted to know was, whether this Administration had the right to poses such @ course of persecution to get a epublican out of office, and puta Democrat im? The Treasury nt Now says that they see no reasom for the further withbolding of Mr. Ballard’s salary, if it can be proved that be was in the Territory all the time. This was & mere shallow pretence, as he (Mr. W.) bad himeelf filed at the Treasury ent the pe to prove that Br. Ballard was in the ‘territory and performing his duty all the time. Mr. Nye said a doubt existed among the Com- mittee on Territories as to whether @ vacancy existed in the Governorship of [daho, and sug- gested that the paper be referred to the Com- mittee on the Judiciary. Mr. Ferry, as one of the Committee on Terri- tories. bad no doubt on the subject. He be- lieved that there was no vacancy, but that the whole thing was nothing more than an effort to persecute Mr. Ballard @n account of bis Republicanism. he papers bearing on the subject were then, after further discussion, laid upon the table. The Pension Appropriation bill was then taken up.

He said many persons seem to imagine that & proposition has been made in Congress to pay off the five-twenty bonds in coin at the time, while gold commands a heayy premium over greenbacks; but all persons afflicted with this error he would say that no man in Congress has been focl enough to propore that the five- twenties shall be before the greembacks shall be paid in gold likewise. The man who bolds'a greenback bolds the Government in gold just as much ss a man who holds a five -twenty bond, and it would be just cause of complaint if the Goy- ernment should anticipate the payment of the 5-2’s in gold before it is ready to pay for the greenbacks in gold also, The first senes of 5.-20’s will not fall due until I-42, and before that date is reached we shall be upon a specie paring basis, and every holder of a greenback vill be able to secure gold for it at his option. Second. He showed the fallacy of the reason- ing of those who clamored for (he paying of the 5-20's in greenbacks at this time on the ground that money that is good enough for the soldier and day laborer is good enough for the bond- holde. The 5-2v's cannot be paid off in green- backs without a Freat inflation of the currency, and the result of such inflation must be rain- ous.

Mr. Blaine argued to show that the inflation of the currency would speedily re- sult in its depreciation, and an excess of irre- dermable money would at once raise the price of all commodities. He contended in this con- nection that it Was an immense delusion to at- tribute any of the dullness now prevalent in business circles to a scarcity of money. Fourth, He argued that s proposition for an inflahon of the currency was in the face of a direct and solemn pledge to the contrary by Congress, for Congress by deliberate enactment of June 30, 1-64, pledged to all the public credi- that “the total amount of Treasury notes issued or to be 1asued should never exceed $400, 010,0KK), and we are now within $4i0W,000 of that amount. If we disregard that pledge we might just as well trample on others and tale a short cut at once to reproduction and National Bank- ruptey. A Government that will disregard one solemn pledge conot be trusted upon oth- ers. Fifth. Being then estopped from procuring greenbacks by an additional issue. Mr. Blaine proceeded to show that to secure the payment of the bonds was by taxation, and this, he con- tended, the people would not submit to, as the universal desire of the people was for a reduc- tion (of taxation as speedily as possible. He was therefore op] to taking up the bonds in greenbacks, for that reason. It was enough to pay the interest, and it was a little short of madness to propose levying taxes to take from the pockets of the people enough greenbacks to aang the payment of a large share of the ineipal. Pin conclusion, Mr. Blaine argued that if we do not destroy our currency by inflation, the time will soon come when paper will be the equivalent of gold. The whole posed might be summed up to be to pring our entire surrency, in due season, without haste, and without contraction or sion, up to the specie standard; calling into requisition the vast amount of now buried in our soil; baving ted on & safe ‘and secure Bostonian. 87 Jesse Harris, who was hung up ten years ago until nearly dead, to force from him infor- mation in reference to the burning of a ware- house at Lakeville, Ohio, bas had four persons: arrested charged with having participated the hanging.
