Dunwoody, 4th artil- lery, bas been ordered to report to the chier signal officer of the army for duty. SECRETARY BELKNAP leaves the city this evening for West Point to attend the annual examination at the military academy. He will be absent about a week. The scm of $6 was reccivel at the Treasury to-day from an anonymous contributor, who wishes “to walk hereafter in the fear of the Lord.” Mr. Epwarp 8S. MILL, of Ilinois, was mar- ried to Miss M. Lela Pool, daughter, of Senator Poo}, of North Carolina, at $t. Aloysius church last evening. THE EXAMINATION of “‘plebs” at West Point, which was completed yesterday, resulted in the rejection of twenty-four out ¢f a class of ninety. one. ‘fhe examination of the graduating class commences to-day. Saw THE Presipent.—The Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Treasury, Senators Scott, Lewis, Hitchcock, Pomeroy and Harlan» and Representatives Swann and Lewis, had in- terviews with the President to-day. TRansPER OF Naval Orricers,—Lieut. Harry N. Mauncey has been ordered to the Michigan. Lieut. T. C. Terrell has been des tailed trom the Michigan and ordered to duty on the Pacific statior Gx. 8. A. Duncan, assistant commissienc™ of patents, has resigned. Mr. J. M. Thacher, of the appeal board, will succeed General Dun! can, it is thought, and General Spear, now in charge of the division of civil engineering, will succeed Mr. Thatcher Tue Hovse held a formal session this morn- ing in accordance with the agreement of yester- day, for the purpose of having the tariff bill signed, the law requiring that it must be done in epen session. Ateleven o'clock the bill was not quite ready, and a recess was taken until twelve, when the House was called to order, ani the Speaker signed the bill and announced the House adjourned until Friday next. Tus First Competitive EXAMINATION under the civil service rules took p'ace to-day, under the supervision of the Treasury examin- ing board. The examination was to fill three vacancies of second-class clerkships in the Third Auditor's office, aud the applicants num- bered twenty-one, each of whom had one- seventh of a chance of securing the desired pro- motion. The examining board will not prova- bly report the result of the examiuation under several days. ADJOURNMENT.—There seems to be no doubt now that Congress will adjourn finally on Mon- day next. The tariff Dill having been disposed of, there are but three important billsrequiring action, and they can probably be passed i single day. They are the sundry civil appro- priation bill, now before the Senate, which will probably be completed to-day. Upon this, there will doubtless be a conference committee on the Senate amendments. The fortification appro- priation bill, already passed the House, has been reported to ‘the Senate without amendments. The river and harbor appropriation bill, also passed by the House, has been reported to the Senate with amendments, but none of them are of such a nature as to consume much time in discussion, hence it is quite certain the session Will be brought to a close on Monday. Tae Ram ALreMaRLe Prize Case.—To- day, Judge Humphreys, sitting as judge of the district court, made an order that Commodore W. E. LeRoy, Capt. Earl English and F. K. Lewis be appointed appraisers of the ram Albo- It will be recalled that on the 254 of , 1864, W. B. Cushing, with a boat's crew, exploded a torpedo under the rebel ram Albemarle, lying near the town of Plymouth, N. C., causing ber to sink; thus opening a way to our forces to advance tp the river. Sub- sequently ehe was raised and used in the gov- ernment service. In duly, 1865, she was li- beled as a prize, and the appraisement, #7!),904, paid into the Treasury, but this sum, it is al- leged, was less than her value at the time of her appraisement, she having been dismantled and stripped of her iron armor. To obtain a Teappraisement Congress passed a special act approved April Jat last, and to-day Messrs. Carlisle and McPherson made the motion to carry out that act,on which the above order was made. THE “Epear STEwART”—Importan! Action of the Spanish Minisier.—The Spanish Minister, under instructions from his government, has filed at the State department the declaration that the Edgar Stewart is an American vessel, openly violating the neutrality laws; that she has been engaged in aiding and abetting the insurrection on the Island of Cuba by farnish- = insw its munitions of war; that not- withstanding her known character, the United States government sanctioned her protection by @ war vessel, and that since she left Kingston she is believed to @ landed her cargo in Cuba. He calls upon the United States te ful fill the obligations of the treaty of 1795. Tu Secretary of the Treasury has been notitied, ard instructions will be issued to collectors to detain the Stewart should she enter bn f of our rts. The Navy deprrtment has heard nothing m the Stewart since she sailed for Kingston on the 17th of May, under the protection of the U. 8. 8. oming. It is understood that she suceeeded in safely landing her cargo of arms and munitions of war on the south coastof Cuba, and up to the last intelligence had eluded the many gunboats and war vessels seut in her pursuit. THe Treaty FalLure—Ezciting Debate in Parliament.—The moving by Lord Russel in the House of Lords last night of his long threatened address to the Queen praying that instructions be given to her Maj representatives at Geneva to retire from the board of arbitration, if the claims for indirect damages were not withdrawn, gave rise to a long and animated debate. The Earl in his address said that the honor of the English government required that it should speak Fiainiy, and that it should say to the United States ‘withdraw the indirect claims or no arbitration.” The bombastic Earl concluded his address with: “The nation must show, as it has before, that it is jealous of the honor of the British crown; it must treat the United States as it treated them in the Trent case.” Earl Granville defended the right of the United States to place its own construction on the treaty, and to introduce the indirect — ———— — commissioners Who negotiated the and very proper: Tebi Earl Russell for his imuooring allusion to the Trent affair. The discussion assumed a wide range, and during its continuance the members sharply criticised each other's la jnage. After one unsuccessful motion to ad- fours, a second to adjoura aaut Thursday was agreed to. ai ail Ed remove the Bible from public schools. The report was unanimous); ‘adopted. A resolution was adopted to send a tion. of three members to confer with the Church south, with a view to harmonize all dif- ferences. Resolutions were adopted that the EVENING STAR. |PHILADELPHIA. The Grant Convention Ovation. PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. GRANT WITH A BIG G. PHILADELPHIA ABLAZE. THE WIiCE PRESIDE.YCY. A FIERCE CANVASS. EXCITING SCENES. (Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.) PuILapEtruia, Jone 5.—The first day of the convention opens with the relics of yesterday's storm, the alr being raw and chilly. The whole city, however, is alive. Kvery delegation is this morning complete, and the hotels and streets are overtiowing with visitors. Im the vicinity of the convention hall, Broad street, and the Union League building are very hand- somely decorated with flags, streamers, ban- ners, ete. Clubs and delegations are forming and marching up and down in front of the hall headed by bands and drum corps playing in- spiriting airs. There is such a pressure for seats that the convention hall could be filled ten timesover. There are three hundred appli- cations for press seats, and only 150 have thas far been assigned. Every journal of any ac- count in the country is represented. THE MEETING OF THE CLANS. All of the delegations are holding prelimina-y meetings this morning, preparatory to going into the convention. The excitement is there- fore renewed over the Vice Presidency. A bit- ter contest is raging in the Pennsylvania delo- ation over Wilson, Scott, and Colfax. The st leads by only two votes over Scott, but the delegation is instructed to vote asa unit. Mis sissi ssippi, reported for Wilson, has decided tor Colfax;’ while Alabama shows @ majority tor Tr. Wilson. In the Missouri delegation Hen. H. Blow has just made a speech denouncing Wilson syndicate, and bitterly assailing pach a After he finished, the delegation voted 50 tor Wilson, and 2for Co! - A “S¥BDICATE” COLLARED. Col. Halloway, of Indiana, became very much excited, and seizing McCullagh, of the St. Louis Democrat by the collar, declared that if Colfax was defeated he should hold him and his as- sociates personally responsible. It is quite im- possible to learn how all the delegations are voting this forenoon, as they are so scattered, but Col. Forney has just come in and says WILSON IS LEADING THE DAY, but that Colfax will have a large vote. The Tllinots and Ohio yote for Wilson is giving him a good send off. The contest between Wilson and Colfax has become so close that there is now a good deal of talk for a new man, and Governor Hawley, of Connecticut, is coming to the front. The first ballot and probably the second and third will show no result for the Vice Presidency. The Press to-day estimates on first ballot: Colfax, 286; Wilson, 347; scat ing, 7. The New York Tribune to-day estima:es Colfax 230, Wilson 367, and the rest scattering. The World gives Colfax 29) and Wil<on 347; rest scattering. The Times says Wilson was ahead last night. Forney says the figures now show that it Wilson’s friends stick he will be nominated, but it is absolutely necessary that they should not break. He needs every pledjrod yote. Forney, himself, is tor Colfax, and [ there- fore give his opinion. MORE BLECTIONEERING CIRCULARS. As may be inferred from the foregoing, Sena- tor Wileon’s friends are working with energy, and have flooded the hotels with circulars in his interest, and against Mr. Colfax. They are ad- dressed to “Delegates to the lepublican » tional Convention,” “Soldiers of the Union Army,” Republicans of the South,” Repub- licans of New England,” “Republicans of the Northwest,” “Republicans of the Pacitic Slope, . A prominent republican tele. graphed trom Washington last night the follow- ing di itch, which is printed and widely cir- culated to-day: ‘WASHINGTON, June 4, 1872._In September, 1870, Mr. fax published in the New York Jn- dependent a letter trom which the following is an abstr [Here follows abstract printed faves. terday’s papers.) After writing as above, Dr. Colfax told Henry Wilson that under no cir- cumstances would he be @ candidate, and upon the strength of that promise Mr. Wilson allow- ed his name to be for the position. Months afterwards Colfax announced himself @ candi- date for renomination, and is now electioneer- ~ Has his treatment of Mr. Wilson been fair and manly? Is it essential to the success of the republican party that it should nominate a man guilty of such conduct? Why not permit him— as he said he intended to do—to close his politi- cal lite absolutely? What national loss would it be?” ‘The following was circulated freely to-day, and seemed to create quite a sensation: “ Delegates to the republican convention read and reflect. Victery can be secured only b: wise action now. Pennsylvania and Missour! are doubtful states. A Ivanian on the ticket will add thousands Pennsylvania yotesto and take none from Grant. Colonel D. Branton, of Philadelphia, would unite the now divided vote of Missouri.’ Act accordingly.” COLORED REPUBLICANS FOR COLFAX. A delegation of colored republicans from Washington are here working very earnestly for Mr. Colfax, and have captured nearly every colored delegate trom the south for sim. The Washington train this a. m. has sevénteen car loads, including a great many republican mem- bers and senators. THE PLATFORM. ‘The renomination of President Grant on the first ballot, if not by acclamation, being a fore- gone conclusion, the convention will have no more important duty than the adoptien of a strong platform; one which in accordance with the spirit of the party from the beginning shall be outspoken, fearless, and aggressive. So far as canbe ascertained from conversat ions with delegates from various sections there is likely to be great unanimity with regard to this formal manifesto of the party. The only ques- hi id is tion of prominence upon. w! my considera- ble diversity of opinions is known to exist is the t . ‘THE TARIFF PLANE. ‘The Pennsylvania and New England delega- tions are understood to be practically unanimous in faver of @ decided protective plank, such as was adopted at the Chicago cenvention of 1860, which nominated Lincoln.

A fairy scene was presented. A flood of gas light fell from among the banners, streamers, evergreen archways, depending flowers and wreaths that were tastefully ar- ranged. Every portion of the Academy was tucked out in buds and blossoms redolent with exquisite perfume. It is indeed a veritable landseape from fairy land, canopied with flags und battle banners, and elicits rounds of ap- plause as the very triumph of the decorative art. It is sight of brilliant beauty seldom secn and never forgotten. The private boxes arc almost hidden trom view in graceful folds of American flags; the front of the Prince of Wales box is adorned with an oil painting of Lincoln, while the box opposite bearson its front « portrait of President Grant. The apex of the dome is encircled with miniature flags and trom the center fall in graceful festoons massive links of ever, , Which are looped up on the para- pet of the family circle. The exterior of the family circle and balcony are profusely adorned with the coats of arms of al! the sta and ter- ritories which rest on flags, the mtervening spaces being occupied by wreaths ot laurel. The Pillars supporting the ticrs are all garnished with flags artistically ceposed. The president's chair aud desk are placed on a raised dais in the center of the stage. Urns of fresh cut flowers flank the platform of the presiding of- ficer, 4 immediately in desk isa fine oil painting of W: picture is encircled with flags of blue silk, studded t! ly with stars of gold. Behind tle desk of the president are strung alotttwo massive stands of white and gold, each be mean @ coronet of gas jete shaded with £ lass globes. Between these sump- tuous light dispensers is a row of ornate urns brim full of odorous exotics. A parapet four fect high, gteen with creeping plants forms, the back ground to this conspicuous position of the ruling spirit of the convention. From the rear of this ivy mantled partition, rise up in tier on tier like the seats of an amphitheatre, the chairs and desks of the representatives of the press of the Union, The desks are covered with white muslin. and arranged in three parallel sections with in tervening ways, thereby affording easy ingress and egress. On both sides of the desks are vases of rare exotics, and in the rear, en- circled by evergreens, is a set scene, repre- senting an Italian sunset. This background, as seen from the baicony or parquet circle, forms one of the most beautiful scenes ever be- held at the academy. Two bands are playing the national academy airs in succession, the audience ho apeoe 2 almost every strain, and thus, amid the mingled rear of artillery outside, and the music inside of the bui' 2, the great convention came to order acon after 12 o'clock. THE CONVENTION OPENED. At 12:20 Governor Claflin called the conven- tion to order, and amid great silence spoke as follows: ““Gentlemen of the convention: Elected accord- ing to the usage of the republican party incon ventions ke held in every state, you are assembled for the rrpese of placing in nomi- nation candidates for two highest offices in the gift of the American people. represent & party founded on the broadest principles of freedom, justice and humanity, and whose achievements have been the wonder and adml- ration of the civilized worid. he promises made four years since of progress and retorm have been faithfully fulfilled: in the guarantee by the nation of equal rights to all; in the re- duction of the public expenditure and the lic debt; in the decrease of the public bur: in the improvement of tLe public credit; in th establishment of the public faith, that no act of repudiation shall ever stain the statute books; and in securing peace and order throughont the entire republic.

Let us go forward with confident faith that our cause will triumph, notwithstanding continued success are centercd the best interests and the highest hopes of the country.” In con- clusion, he called upon Rev. Alexander Reed, of Philadelphia, who addressed the Throne of Grace, asking a divine blessing on the nation and this assemb! of representatives. Music by the band. He then nominated for temporary chairman ex-Mayor Morton McMichae!, of Philadelphia, who was elected and conducted to his seat. ADDRESS OF MR. MORTON M’MICHAEL. Mr. Morton McMichael, on taking the chair, said Gentlemen of the Convention :—I than! " ke for eae — even ~ the brief cid tal alo hat i — gratified because, asa delegate from Vania, and s resident of Pi Ht me an occasion to welcome Pog fot fe. may fo yon, sit shall endeavor to oy Ju ‘will leawe ei i i : reek, and as broad and general as the arwebrea‘he.” Unlike the fast, your object is to preserve, not to destroy; and, gentlemen «Bering trom both these in character and aim: SU, illdiker no lese in the mature of your berations. On the sabject which has most Terplexe:, and must continue to perplex, their councils; in yours—rather let me say in ours— be absolute harmony. With us the selection of a Presidential candidate is a fore- im that regard the people for us in advance, and we have only their will into proper shape bs ating Ulysses 'S. = ant e of God, hail m make the Momination without de- mur, witsout debate, without dissent, but we hall make it under h auspices as will ensu ts complete and abundant ratification at th It Coes not yeed, nor, consid rorety oecnpation of this chai that [ should enter into any ering my wie be jaborat ro TY af to the merits of our candidaie; but this i wil’ Say: that notwithstand!ng all the ma. venom that bas been spit a. him—all * calumnies that have been heaped bim--all the disgraceful slanders that been cireulated in regard to him, General rant, at this moment, enjoys more of the con- fidence of his countrymen, and is believ. by them to be an honester, truer and better man than any of his detractors. No one in our bas been more causeless!y, vilitied, and no one will be y vindicated. The great heart the American people beats responsive to truth and justice, and, as they have tried and tested and trusted him; as they know that his administration has been wise and faithful; as they have seen the nation prosper under his rule as it never bef »re prospered, they will stand by anc defn, and, when the ballot-box givesthem achence 10 do so, avenge him. Remembering the sore trials which, along with his feliow- soldiers, be underwent during the war; his sa: ease and comfort; his perils by day and t, the exposure by means of which tho-e who now revile him were able to secare luxa- rions rapcse at a safe distance from danger, they are nite willmg he should indalge in “palace ests and cigars and seaside loiterings,”” and they mean to furnish him with the opportu- nity of ex oying these tor at least four years to | s come. Asto the Vice Presidency, no doubt, gentle- men, there will be various preferences. Some of us will st first favor one, some another, but we shall all try to obtain the best man, and when the choice is ultimately made, I trast we shall all feel that we have succeeded. In regard to the platform to be adopted, it is not for me to anticipate, but, along with other important doctrines, it will undoubtedly contain the widest recognition of human freedom, and the clearcst affirmation ef the duties which the government owes to the laboring masses, wherever and however employed in town or country; and with such candidates and such a creed, whether we have to enco’ ll party, ws feeble that it is piteous to its nen or, OF an incongruons alliance of iil assorted factions, with no bond of union but the grecd ot office, or all of them combined, we shall go forth conquering and to conquer. The sentiment that the ple had decided on & nominee for President alreadly, and that Grant was an honester and truer President, and en joyed more of the confidence of the American people than any of his predecessors, was greeted — wild cheering, the convention rising to its fect. THE EFFORTS TO DEFEAT COLPAX. ‘The desperate efforts made to defeat Colfax are best illustrated by the following circular got out this morning, and now being circulated in the convention : Reasons Against is advocated before monopolies and co: for en Nominating Colfaz.—First, he his convention by the ations such as the Western Union Tel Company, the Besse- mer steel monopoly, and the public domain railways and their Faster feeders. Second, he does not represent the solid and sincere side of Awerican public life; he smiles without sym- pathy, and flatters without affection; he has en too well rewarded already at the nands of the party, and to renominate him isto give a second endorsement to false pretences. Third, the northwest has gone back on him, his own secticn which ought to know him best; he has no great state there except Indiana by the grace 0! Governor Morton, and Michigan, Hlinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Ohio tle-ground, do not ask his co: ticket. Fourth.

He has entrap) king and warm-hearted re; can, a founder of the party—Henry Wiison—into standing for the Vice Presidency, and would now for a frea pique, or for some va iate this worthy and ab considerations be weighed. SPEECH ERAL LOGAN. The convention having completed its tempo- rary organization, Gen. Logan was espied in one of the stage boxes and was called upon by the entire convention to come forward and speak He finally consented, and came on the stage and made a brief and enthusiastic speech in support of Grant, in which hesaid that the president hac faithfully performed the duties imposed upon him and deserved @ re-election. [Great ap- Plause-} The republican party sald to him, “Well done thou good and faithfal servant, you have been faithful over few things, we will now inake thee ruler over many things.” [Great cheering.] ‘THE CHAMPION OP EMANCIPATION IN FAVOR OF THE HERO OF APPOMATTOX. The New York delegation then called upon the venerable Gerritt Smith, who they said was the oldest champion of emancipation living to come forward and speak. As Mr. Smith walked down the aisle the band played « Hail to the Chief,” and the convention rose and cheered He spoke for tifteen minutes in warm terms of neral Grant and the work which the repub- lican party had accomplished. SENATOR MORTON'S SPEECH. Senator Morton, of Indiana, was then urged tospeak. He appeared on the stage, and also met an ent':usiastic reception. Mr. Morton re- mained in !:i8 chair while speaking of the prin- ciplesof the republican party, and said that it was a wors)iipper of principles, not men. His remarks wire received with earnest approval especially the review which he gave of what the party b: complished jn tour years. MR. ORR OX GRANT, GREELEY, AND THE TRI- BUNE. When Si nator Morton finished, ex-Speaker Orr, of South Carolina, was called upon by the Virginia a ‘egation to address the convention, which rose ‘o its feet and welcomed him. Mr. Orr allude the arraignment made of Wash- ington, of Jackson, and of Grant. The first two had ou lived the aspersions cast upon them, as Grant \ ould outlive the calumny heaped upon him. it had been said that Grant had proved a fe lure. He thought the country could stand jrst fcur more years of such failare (Great lauphter and applause.] He alluded to AGreeley’s Comand for kuklux law and the Tribune's support of the same, which elicited hisses for Creeley and the 7ribune.
