Syracuse, April 20.—The convention applatd- ed the eulogistic speech of Mr. Faulkner in cali- ing the body to order. John C. Jacobs,of Brook- lyn, was unanimously elected chairman, and made a short conciliatory speech. He presided last fall. There is a plain determination to ignore entirely the Kelly convention and pay no attention whatever to it. [SECOND DISPATCH.] Two conventions are in session here. The convention under the call of the regular com- mittee Is largely attended, and is under the con- trol of the friends of Mr. Tilden and those who have acted with that interest of the party ‘There is no intention or purpose to Instruct th delegation for Mr. Tilden or any other can¢ date. but will urge the re-adoption of the t third rule in the national convention.

If he, who was In fact elected, had chosen to lead a Mexican revolt and had said the word, a million of armed mien would have sprung forward to establish the result. The name of Samuel J.

Mr. Miller wa3 beet to lollowing the lead of Dorsheimer and Kelly. He preferred to follow the earlier and better precedents, which were in conformity with the amendment which he had presented. Mr. Dupignac, of New York, took the floor, ‘but was ruled out of order as not a member of the convention. Mr. papiense insisted that he ought to be heard, as he said Morrissey was when he came to the convention as a contest- ant. He should be allowed to present the case of himself and associates. The chairman said the rules must be observed, and he could not recognize the gentleman as en- Uitled to be heard here. Mr. Hill characterized the present making up Of the roll of delegates as an usurpation of power by the state committee. If the people are to be disfranchised here then this conven- Un has no authority to bind the people, and its action will amount to nothing. (Great ap- plause.| He urged the convention to repudiate such proceedings and establish justice and right. {Continued applause. Mr. Faulkner, of Livingston, rose, but was greeted with great confusions. Calls for vari. ous other speakers; hearty cheers for Gov.

No villain was so obscure, no part in the presidential larceny was 80 > humble as to escape gratet tion from the man who was not elected. President, The best title to his favor, was the most energetic wickedness in behalf of his power to bestow it. ‘The chair stated the question on Mr. Miller's amendment. Mr. John B.

I hereby offer the resolutions adopted by our convention: The chair replied that after the roll shall have been called he would lay before the con- yention the resolutions presented by Mr. Hask- ins.

Trees were twisted off, telegraph wires snapped, and the bark was terally peeled from small trees; houses were blown rom their foundations, cattle, hogs, sheep, horses and poultry were whirled into the air, and carried a great distance. The noise of the storm, the crash of falling houses, and the cries and screams of terrified people made a scene of horror that beggars description.
