The republican convention in Maine, yes- terday, renominated Hon. Selden Connor for governor. Resolutions were passed depre- cating the consolidation of all political power in the southern states in the hands of those who precipitated the rebellion, while white Union men are persecutel into silence or banishment, and theentire colored race ractically disfranchised by force and fear. Yt is regretted, also, that in con; tonal districts where the colored people have over two-thirds of the votes they are unable to elect one of their own race or a white sympa- thizer with their Interests. Resumption of specie payments is demanded. and the bonest election of Hayes and Wheeler is declared. Among the resolutions adopted were the following: ‘That we are opposed to any further land grants or subsidies for railroads by the general government.” ‘The states of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana were fairly and legally carried by the republicans at the November election, 1876, for state and national tickets, and the undoubted right of President Hayes and Vice President Wace- ler to the electoral votes of those sta‘es was affirmed by the highest and most impartial tribunal that could be organized un ler the authority of the national gove nm ‘nt; a tribunal to which the democrats in both branches in Congress gave their c¢lib>rate assent. For the democratic party no? to raise a cry of fraud is both unmanly and dis- honest, and if persisted in must be acce ‘ted as an indication that that party in vis mid desire for power is willing to incur sil b .z- ards of anarchy and revolution.” A RESOLUTION COMMENDING OF PRESI- DENT HAYES. When the resolutions were reported Chas. J. Talbot moved their adoption and the pre- vious question. A scene of confusion fol- lowed and the previ: us question was not seconded. Gov. J. 8. Chamberlain moved an amendment, as follows: Resolved, That we reaffirm unshaken con fi- dence in the integrity. patriotism and stat mal ship of Rutherford B. Hayes, and cordially approve his efforts to earry out in good faith the principles avowed by the Cin- cinnati convention. GOY. CHAMBERLAIN’S SPEECH IN FAVOR OF THE RESOLUTION. Gov. Chamberlain, in support of his reso- lution, said: “I am unwilling to see the state republican convention of Maine adjourn without expressing a cordial support of the national administration, which represents the bead of the party. lam surprised that no such resolution was offered by the com- mittee. When ever did a state convention fail to declare its support of its own chosen champion? and of all times this is surely one when true allegiance and mauly service should be rendered now when the issues of the last sixteen years are down to tie suarp crisis. A year ago, in the national platform, We reaffirmed with care and completeness the principles which were our common bond, the end we sought, and the measures by which they were to beachieved. If anything could bea more bold and forcible presenta- tion of them, it was found in Mr. Hayes’ letter of aeceptance. If further light or de- monstration were neeced it was given in the courageous, statesmanlike and noble utter- ances of the President’s inaugural, and if any were still in darkness, the opening acts Of the President’s administration set at rest forever all doubt of his sincerity, firmness and devotion to the republican principles. What has the President done to make him a@ leper to be Jet alone or a culprit to be put on trial. What has come over the spirit of our dreams since we a year ago in this convention affirmed our confidence in our principles and in our candidate in resolutions much stronger than this which I now venture toofter. Is sincer- ity so new to us that we are surprised and shocked when one takes us at our word? Is it the President's crime that he thought we were honest in our resolutions and premises? Take a care, gentlemen, lest the people think that it is we who are on trial, and not the President. Shall we be told to walt and see whether the Presicent succeeds or not b-fore werustain him. Shall we stay back in the rear to wait the result. Are you going to put Maine in the rear; she will not stay there The President is going to be su-tained by the country, and I am confident that the repub. lican party in Maine will sustain him. L our resolutions, then, agree with our princi- ples. Let them at least speak our meaning. f weare honest, if we are wise, we shail stand by the President. If the administra. Uon does not represent the republican party we have no national party. If this cou tion does not indorse the administration we cannot elaim to belonz to the republican party of the country. But let us uo loo, use words in moexery. If we mean to r ognize the President as he is, the ©xo! of our principles and the head of our why hesitate to say so in the lan of men, and I will say also if we m otherwise, if itis an honest couviction that the President deserves censure and desertion, let us have the manliness to say so frankly and firmly. Weowe ittothe party and we owe it to the country. The resolution I have offered is simple and clear. It is more mo!- erate than I would like, but it is such as every republican ought to accept. [ know bot What other gentlemen would think it wise and prudent to say here, but for one, so far from waiting to see how the President will cor out in his efforts to city the country and purify the service, am with the President now and here. Iam for his poliey; his and ours is the only one that can Save the party and complete its noble record and triumphantly elect the true man we nominate to-day—the only one that cau re- store peace and business prosperlly and faith between man and man throughoat the whole country. Iam for this policy for still another reason—because it is right. A HOME FROM BANG: ). A. Boutelle, of Bangor, moved the fol lowing amendment, and addressed the con- vention in its favor: Resolved, That this convention declares 1t belief that Gov. Packard, of Louisiana, an Gov. Chamberlain, of South Carolina, w: entitled to votes whi 3 4 = eir respect veoftices by the sam. h vovernors were clearly entitled to recogul lion by the national government, and by tae failure to recognize them placed the natioual government tn a humiliating attitude of sar- rendering to rebels threatening with arms e — hands to resist its legitimate au- jority. Hon, V. A. Farwell, of Rockland, spoke in favor of Gov. Cbamberiain’s resolution. SPEECH OF Mi. BLAINE IN FAVOR OF PEAC! Mr. Blaine took the floor and said he was Opposed to both resolutions and in favor of peace. He moved that both resolutions be labled, and that the convention vote sepa- rately onthem. I do not rise to speak for an indorsement of the administration or against the southern policy, or in opposition to it, but I beg to say an earnest word for the har- mony and success of the republican party in Maine. The additional resolutions offered show plainly a difference that exists in the ranks of the republican party. What shall be done about it? Shallone man be com- pelled to swallow Kon copie of the other, or shall not each have the liberty to cherish hisown? Mr. Lincoln used to say about the matter of administration that he was often compelled to do as the old farmer in Iilino!s, Or barn fe Jeet gua Se ound it » jus le lowed around it. m ‘opposed to both a al resolutions, and I believe I represent the wishes of ‘a vast majority of this large convention when I ‘move to lay them on the table and then have a direct vote on the resolutions reported from the committes.

Lebroke made a violent speech ainst the administration, which was grect~ With cheers and hisses. Hon. Josiah Crosby, from Dexter, favored Gov. Chamber- lain’s resolution, and D. F. Davis, of Corinth, spoke in opposition to both. Hon. Anson P. ‘orrill wanted peace, but there was no peace in opposition to the national adminis- tration, and he desired to say this to bis friends who had preceded him.” He proceed- ed to address the convention amid a scene of great confusion, being greeted with cheers and hisses. A motion tolay both resolutions on the table was carried, and the resolutions as reported from the committee were then declared adopted. THE PENNSYL Rpecia’ di patch to the Philad:1 bia.

GIRLS ON StTRIKE.—Yesterday morning rearly three handred women and giris thronged the sidewalks in front of the silk manufactory of Messrs. John N. Stearns & n 42d street, near 3d avenue. They were part of a body of four hundred weavers who decided to strike the day before, when informed of a reduction of three cents per yard in the price of their work. A commit- tee of three of their number were in confer- ence with the proprietor of the works in his private office. They hoped that a compro- mise might be made, and the disappoint- ment was terrible. It was nours before they left the neighborhood, and many dennacia- tons against the proprietors were uttered. ‘The girls said:—* While claiming to be losing money, and reducing our pay toa mere pit- tance In consequence, they were at the same tUme building an immense new mawgufactory in 40d street.” “ Does that look like losing money?” asked a mild-mannered, middle- aged woman.—{N. ¥.

The London Times has a Kustindje dis. patch dated the 5th instant, by way of Buch- | rest August §, which says: “Gen. Zimmer- man has most of the lith corps and a divis- ton of another corps in the Dobrudscha, his main force being encamped about * miles from Teherpavoda. His operations have hitherto consisted matniy in sending out de- techments of Cossacks on scouting duty in all directions. Gen. Zimmerman's head- quarters are at Tchernavoda. It is the opin. ion of officers who should be well informed thatthey will remain there until the fall of Rustehuk or its complete blockade, 80 as to enable Zimmerman to operate against Silis- iria without being taken in the rear.” The Bucharest « orrespondent who forwards this dispatch calls attention to the useless- ness of General Zimmermann’s corps, as it is powerless to advance. and cannot do any thing until other operatious are successful around Rustehuk, while it could assist these operations were it in Bulgaria, and after they we1e completed would be in a betier po- sition to wor Tehernavoda.
