CAREFUL SURVEY OF THE GROUND | Si2'¥-four years of BY OUR CORRESPONDENT. POLITICAL, MISCELLANEOUS, AND PERSONAL MATTERS. {Speeiat Correspondence of the Evening Star} New York, Sandy, July 5, 188.—For the Giret Wme since the political elements com- mene-d to gather here there is at fast seme- thing defived m the Presidential situation. The preliminary organization of the Comven- tion om yesterday, and the consolidation of views and opinions which the meeting of al! of the delegates im one place afforded, have staped things so tbat the oldest politicinns and journalists begin to comprehend the status of affairs. There is general complaint, it te proper to add here, thatthe Convention has met in this sity—not that the quarters of delegates audout siders are not more commodions and palatial than inany ether city—not that the Convention hall ls not the most beutifuland grand of itskind ever seem—not but that there are amusements Bnexcelled on the comtinent—but for the reason ‘hat the distances are €0 magnificent that it has been found quite impossible for delegations to meet and interchange views, and shape the policy of the section from which they come. In Baltimore. Chicagoand Philadelphia, where previous Presidentiai Conveutions have been held, the hotels are adjacent, and there has never been any difficulty im seeiug everybody, almost at the same time. But here it is quite different. Delegates from Ohio. for instance, whe stop at the Stevens House, at the lower end of Broadway, have to ride five miles, to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, to reach the head- quarters of their delegation. STATUS OF CANDIDATES BEPORE THE CON- VENTION. As bas been telegraphed and written the Stak, there has not beem from the start but one | defined movement here in the interest of any candidate, and that has of course been for Mr. Pendleton. The entire West came on here With its delegations instructed and pledged for his support, and backed by an outside pres- cure remarkable im vigor, audacious in talk, a geTessive in numbers. It clsimed s ma- jority im the Convention for its candidate, and was conceded by its opponents to have a piu- rality. It flaunted its greenback badges in the fuew of the crowd, denounced the supporters of other candidates, ridiculed the prevailing be- hef of Eastern Democrats that Mr. Pendleton would stand no chance whatever of an elec- hon, and, im substance, jrtended to carry the works of the New York delegation by storm. But the Pendietonians will be beaten. Strong a they are, the Easterma and Northern Democ- racy liv entrenched behind the two-thirds rae, Which will not be repeated, and. in the end, wl transfer all of Mr. Pendleton’s force tothe support of another candidate. These facts lead smevitably to the conclusion that the Democracy Wul fight out the issue inside of Tammany Hail, and got go into the Convention wita all of the delegations defined as regards the re- epective Presidential candidates. SUDDEN END OF THE CHASE MOVEMERT. There tins be=n a strong feeling among outsi- Gere, including large numbers of prominent Democrats, in favor of Chief Justice Chase: but among the delegations he seemed to have no strength outside of New York, and at the meet- ing of that delegation Inst might and to-day he failed utterly to secure its support, thongh on | Friday it was believed that it was nearly unan- imous torhim. At this meeting Gov. Seymour having peremptorily withdrawn as a candi- date, the delegation proceeded to vote, with the follow ing result:—Por Sandford E. Vhureh, 35; Salmon P. Chace, 10: Thomas A. Hendricks, George H. Pendleton, 3: Horatio Seymour, Judge Nelson, 2, Reverdy ‘Johnson, 4. Total, | %& Mr. Church receiving @ majority, it was subseguemily decided to cast the vote ot New York] Murch m the Convention. Un- Jess the letter of Mr. Chase to Mr. Cisco is read 1 the Convention, and bis name fs placed in Romination from some other quarter—a move- ment not at all probable_ene may rest as<ured that the Chase movement, as it is called, is ab- solutely dead in New York It has Jacked the proper elements of success. No one here seems authorized to speak for Mr. Uhase. The know!- edge of the contents of bus letter to Mr. Cisco crrated some enthusiasm im his fayor yester- day. but the non-appearance of the entire letter caused itto wane, until the New York delega- tion seemingly put a quistuson it by the action above recorded. Some, however, say this isa mere Blind, and that they will yet stand by Chase. Democrats of sli shades have freely xprq@geed the hope that Mr. Chase would be nomimated, and the belief tha: if nominated le would be elected WHO WILL BB NOMINATED! There will hardly be any ballots taken in ume to-morrow to Teach the STAR'S regular +dition, and the inquiry at the head of this pxr- SerapM ust be auswered, therefore, as far as “te Possible to anticipate the results of the dallets.

These tickets did not entitle the holder toa desk, but only toa seat outside of the bar of the Convention. The heat was so intense in the ball that the newspaper men took off their couts and vests and shirt collars. and went to work with a will. WHAT THE SOUTHERN MEN SAY. ‘There are some Destractives among the Southern delegations who have learned nothing by the war. The majority, however, are dis- creet and progressive—such men, for instance, as Hampton, of South Carolina. They ilk. | generally, this way:—“Give us i | any man who will abolish the military gove ments in the South; but above all give candidate who will not be beaten.” This ir exactly the sentiment of these Southerr. men, sil accounts to the contrary notwithstanding. | Of course it would be misrepresentation io state that they have any love for Chase, for it | things were otherwise than they are they would trample bis name and the name of every other such prominent Republican under their feet, but Gy pane is all the world to them, while | ore estern men the cry of principle is pre- ferred.

C., July 2, 1868.—GEnTis- mEN: To your friendly inquiry whether, “if deemed desirable for the preservation and unity of the Conservative interest of the country,” I Would permit my name to be presented to the Democratic Convention as a candidate for the office of President of the United States, I would respectfully reply that I am not ambitious of further seryice—I may say, indeed, of further endurance m that elevated ‘and responsible po- sition, unless by a call so general and une- quivocol that it wonld be an endorsement by the people of my endeavors to defend the Con- stitution and the reserved rights of the several Commonwealths composing what was once in tact the Federal Union. Uf such approval, in the present temper of parties, I can, perhaps, have no reasonable expectation. All bistery proves that men who, in official position, for any reason the cherished Schemes devised by factions to juire power, usually find more determined assailants than open snd earnest defenders. Hence, in resist- img measures which, although sustained by Cot Lhbonestly believed to be encroaen- meni the Constitution, my task has been made arduona and seemingly ‘ungracio an opposition powerful, well organized, possessing a controlling influence in the < of legislation unpr nted im the history of the country. Compelled to devote my eatire time to the issues that have been forced upon me and to contend against a majority repre- sented by two-thirds of each House of Uon- gress, I have been unable, while striving to provéct and maintain the liberties of the people, to check extravagant expenditures for objects Bot comtempiaied by the Consutution, and to lighten the burdens of taxation which now rest #0 oppressively upon the nation. In the midst of these embarrasments I have not been discouraged.

Constrained, m occupying my position as the Federal Executive, to abide io silence wrongs and enroachments of the most insidions as well as desperate character, orsometimes when in- capable of arresting them, permitted only to employ futile protests; compelled, with only the privilege of remonstrance of the terrible alterpative counter-revolution. to resist revo- Tutionary projects; obliged to stand in the au- tude of a mere spectator, whilst the invaluable time of the ration has been wasted in causeless ts upon myself and office for the benefit party, 1 cannot complain if the people, le witnessing the scene, have not beer able horoughly their own—the ¢ of the Constitution and igws their own whi! battle.

The improved police arrangements afforded the vast crowd excel- lent opportunities to enter and be seated. Every nook and corner of sitting and standing room were occupied, the ladies’ gallery being filled to repletion with a brilliant array of ladies, A series of resolutions were sent to the Con- vention by Alex. H. Stephens, of Georgia, de- claring that the Union is founded on the Qon- stitution, and is perpetual, and must be pre- served; which were referred. Various resolutions from State Conyentions on Negro Suffrage, Finance, &c., were read and Teferred witbout debate. The Platferm was then reported, to toliow- ing effect: Firet, The inviolubility of the Constitution as the only basis of reconstruction. Second, Denounces negro suffrage as the ba- sis of restoration. Third, Declares tor one currency for all of the pecple, and the payment of bonds in green- backs, where the letter of the law is not explic- atly m favor of gold, and declares in fayor of equal taxation of Government bonds like other property by the States.

Amnesty for all political offences Eighth. Regulation of the elective franchise by the respective States. ‘This is in brief the whole platform. The Pendleton finance theory is wholly accepted, and was read with the greatest enthusiasm. The whole platform was adopted without debate, and with but two dissenting vetes. A great scene followed, the Convention and all the spectators rose to their feet, and waving flags snd handkerchiefs cheered for several minutes. The enthusiasm was almost unpar- slelled. ‘The interest im the Conventien to-day ex- ceeds all previous days. It is expected that balloting for President will commence by one p.m. The Pendleton men have been canvassing all night, and this morning claim 116 on first ballot.

President Johnson's letter, im which he says: «Tam now, as heretotors the bands of the people for their disposal,” is published in all of the papers to-day, and is distributed in the Convention, but it seems to have little effect. This Convention ballots accordirg to the electoral vote of each State, and not with double the number as is the case with Repub - lcan Conventions, a fact that should not be Jost sight of by those who figure on results. The Herald this morning devotes nearly ali of its editorial page to urging Chase for the nomination, and says if be is thrown over. board he will be run as the third candidate It attacks the Qonvention as follows:—“The Conventson bas mow been im session in this city for two days, and enough is known of ifs action to render it al- most certain that its strength will b {rittered away through the folly and blunders o its lead@e, and that instead of upto the standard of public expectation it is doomed to take rank with the worst of those narrow. minded Gopperbead gatherings that dering the war left the Democracy in a helpless mi- nerity in every State in the Union.
