The politics of this State are different from those of any other State in the Union, The republicans, it ts true, are divided into cliques, and are given more or less to ‘wrangling after the manner of their brethren in other States. Just now there is considerable diversity of feel- ing between them on the question of negro suffrage. The strongest fecling in favor of that doctrine comes from Newark and the adjacent counties, The southern Portion of the State has*not become inoculated to any great extent with that peculiar creed, and the delegates are hore sirongly insisting that it shall not be brought into the convention. The German clement from the northern Counties of the State, which has on previous occasions acted with the democratic party, and, in fact, belong to that class which sympathized with the Fremont move- ment last year, are represented as being persistent im demanding the adoption of the universal negro suffrage as tle cardinal principle of the party. This class of Germans are known wherever they are—in the Eastern or Western States or in their native homes on the other side of the Atlantic—as extreme radicals, Asa general thing thoy belonged to the infidel, red republican class in Europe, and naturally fell in with the oxtreme men, the agitators in this country. Their very nature requires them to take this course. They would not be in their element unless they had some extreme measure to advo- cate. Should Chief Justise Chase and the New England Jaoobins succegd in forming a party this class of red Fepublican, revolutionary Germans will rash into its ranks. But they do not form any considerable portion of the republican party in the State, and exist in only one Portion to an extent worthy of notice. They have many sympathizers among the native republicans, and it is ‘only inthe strength they obtain from that source that they an accomplish anything or carry a point in the Conven- tion. The party, as a gencral thing, is quite radical; but a large majority do not deem it wise to press their ultra views, considering it impolitic. The democracy, on the other hand, are hunkers of the strongest hunker type, and cali themselves the unadul- terated supporters of the constitution in every particu- lar, without any exceptions. They are so strong stick- lers that it may be said that they lean a little backward fn their adherence to that doctrine. But with all of this, ft ts almost impossible for the republicans to make any headway in the State, and can never succeed in carrying except when {he democracy are divided or nominate fome extremely unpopular candidate. The democratic party has obtained a hold upon the people which it seems almost impossible to counteract. The revolution which hhas taken place in partios and party jesues by the collapse ‘of the rebellion may, perhaps, succeed in working out a fevolutivun even in this state; but of that time alone can ‘determine. One thing which has, perhaps, had more to do with the exist.nce of this fact, is that the democracy origi- pated, or at least wore responsible for, inaugurating the financial policy of the State, which has enabled the People to escape the burdens of taxation to any great extent. The internal improvements, raill canals, through a system of State revenue, pay nearly. ail the tate expenses. Through this arrangement the Btate has becn able to pass through the four years of war ‘and come out with only two and a-half millions of dollars * debt; that is aside from the town and county indebted- mess. It is estimated that a tax of ten cents on every one hundred dollars of personal and real estate Eos -of the State would liquidaie the whole State debt. The mass 01 the people believe that they are indebted to the democracy for this fact. Whether right or wrong they Cling to that belief, and It is strongthened by the pumer- -ous efforts of the republicans at Washington to interfere with thoir system of railroads. Here, then, are local questions peculiar to New Jersey Atgelf, which’ make the State politically and in every -other way different from any other State in the Union, and in reality render the action of the political partios of less general interest than that of any other State. These, with the new questions which have grown out of the rebellion, prosent the position of affairs in the State upon the assembling of the Convention. It is plainly vevident that many of the delegates from Newark and vicinity will harp u the universal negro su! rene, and do all that they can to force it upon vent THR CONVENTION. The dolegates assembled at Temperance Hall at twelve o'clock. ‘here were numerous negro suffrage tracts wcattered thi th the hall and, in fact one or more in every: seat.

He at | subsided, wi pon one or two delegates declared there was no intention to gag any person, but that this resolution ‘was offered merely to facilitate business. The question was finally put and carried by a large majority, there not being over a dozen votes it, some further routine business the Convention took a recess until half-past two P. M., to give the com- mittees appointed time to prepare their reports. AFTERNOON SR8SION, The hall was crowded if anything more densely than during the morning session, ‘Yhere were many men of ability, and in fact the delegates presented a very respect- able appearance—fully equal to similar gatherings in the State. At the appointed time the Convention was called to order. After several ineffectual attempts to relieve the crowdod state of the hall business was resumed the Committee on Permanent Organization making thei report. They announced that they presented the name of General Judson Kilpatrick as permanent President of the convention, with the numerous retinue of secretaries and vice presidents, The announcement of the General’s ame was ted with applause, A committee was appointed to a to the hotel and wait upon the General to the hall. They soon appeared with him at the front door, which was the occasion of great cheering, and, as he passed through the crowd to the platform, was gy ese with scenes of applause and cheers after cheers, intermingled wee “Let seve: him charge.” Tho moment that he reached the | sagetips ‘was presented to the convention, whereupon was greeted with cheers by the whole convention. Captain Halstead pi ‘three more for the raider in the copperhead camps North and South, which were also givon with a will, : 8 THE Gi SPEECH. General Kilpatrick thea thanked the convention for the honor which they had conferred upen him by select- ing him to preside over the only loyal convention which will be convened in the State. In accepting the honor and taking his seat he did not intend to make any lengthy speech. He should as soon think of talking war to that chioftain Lieutenant General Grant as to talk politics to this vast concourse of poli- ucians, He had accepted the invitation of many friends to meet here to-day that there might not be any mistake where he stands at the present time; that he might show by his example where all soldiers should be found, now that war was over. He took his stand here to-day with great pride among the men who never uttered a disloyal word, but had remained firm during the dark hours of the Union. He then proceeded to denounce the Northern secessionists, and was frequently interrupted with cries, ‘Charge them again."’ He had ‘expres- sions everywhere, as he travelled from one section of the country to the other, in reference to hisState which made his heart ache to hear, and caused a disgust for the men who had placed them in that position before the country. He had been more excited since his return from the field of battle over the assertion of men in the very heart of this State than at anything which be wit- nessed during the war. He had heard men tn the county of his home, within the last few days, denounce Abraham Lincoln as a tyrant and President Johnson as a murderer. He believed that the copperhead editors in the North were equally [ec with the Southern rebels. He favored the arrest of the whole batch and of their being tried and hung by the side of the chief of secessionists, the ox- President of the confederacy, Jeff. Davis. He counselled harmony in their action, to drop all questions likely to produce discord and strife, and let it be shown by their actions that they were « Union party, not only in name but in action. le urged that they would select the man for their candidate who would concentrate the stroi vote and defeat and rout the men who had opposed the war at home. The Secretaries and Vice Presidents then took their seats on the platform, whenthe Committee on Rules and Credentials. made their several reports, which were ado} without debate. Committce on Resolutions then came forward with its report, somewhat lengthy, as follows RESOLUTIONS AND PLATFORM, Resolved, That wo that the warfor the life of the nation has not ed a “failure,” as was annot by the Democratic vention at Chi more than one year ago, but bas resulted in an le peace—nat by Q le, concessions to rebellion or compromise with slave but by the valor of the soldiers, the faith of the people’ the wisdom of the government and a firm adherence to principle—a peace which settles the vital question of the war, the power and stability of republican ernment, the paramount prema of the nation the extinc- tion of slavery in the United States, Resolved, ‘we venerate the memory of Abraham Lincoln, undor whose wiso and faithful guidance this honorable peace was won; and while we deplore his un- timely death we look to his example of prudence, firm- ness and moderation as our best guide in dealing with the delicate questions now requiring solution.

NOMINATION. ‘The balloting for candidates for Governor was exceed- ingly wild. A letter was read from George T. Cobb withdrawing his name, and presenting that of General Kilpatrick. Several other persons urged the General’s nomination, and at one time it looked as though he would carry the Convention by storm. An effort was made to dispense with a ballot and nominate him by acclamation. At this proposition the General stepped forward and stated that he would not accept a nomination tendered him If .no- minated it prs a fair ballot or he could not think of accepting it. The moment that he made this statement the object of bringing his name be- fore the Convention was apparent. It was easily seen that it was not for the purpose of really nominating him, but for the express purpose of defeating A. G. Cat- tell and nominating Ward. In other words, it was a flank movement on the Cattell party, who up to that time seemed to have control of the Convention. The balloting finally commenced, after considerable excitement and confusion. A. G. Cattell led off on the first ballot, having more votes than,either of the other candidates. Kilpatrick was second, and Ward the lowest on ee list. Cattell again led off on the second Herat although his vote fell off. On the third ballot Cattel was third on the list, and on the fourth ballot Marcus L. ‘Ward, of Newark, was nominated. Had it not been for Kilpatrick's name being presented in the Convention (at- tell would have been nominated-on the first ballot beyond any doubt. As it was the Kilpatrick dodge was well played, and accomplished its object. It seems that there was a mgeting of the soldiers in camp here during the morning, and they sent a memorial to the Convention urging the nomination of Ward as the soldiers’ friend. This memorial was read during the bal- loting, and had a strong influence in behalf of Ward. Mr. Ward has been actively laboring for the last two years in behalf of the soldiers, visiting the camps wherever New Jersey soldiers have stationed, and has thus won their good will, and they took this way to express their gratitude. During the session of the Conven- tion a regiment of veterans just returned marched up in ee Ce: cm ee cheered for note i eral Kilpatrick again made a speech, en- dorsing Ward and Seeger Spey copperheads and se- ceasionists, informing them that they ROW got to go to work or be defeated. A resolution was adopted requesting the adufinistra- tion to order General Kilpatrick home on duty in the State until after the election. Mr. Ward belongs to the conservative wing of the party, and has been recognized of that class. He was supported at the outset by the radical, but not more so than by the conservative and anti-Uhase men of the y. The result of the proceedings throughout may set down as the defeat of the extreme wing of the in that form. party, Some routine business was transacted, such as appoint- ing State committees and the like, when the Convention adjourned sine die.

Gold, 146, The War Department and Mrs. Surratt. CARD FROM AN ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE WAR OFFICE IN REGARD TO THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF THE ADMISSION OF A PRIEST TO ATTEND ON MRS. SURRATT. Wasnmorox, July 20, 1865. To THE AGENT oF THE AssociaTeD PREss:— ‘ Sm—Referring to the special despatch to the New York Tribune, from Washington, of the 16th.inst., pub- lished in the tasue of that journal of tne 17th, relative to the circumstances attending the issue of apass to the Rov. Mr. Walter to attond Mrs. Surratt, I beg to atgte that the facts in the case are as follows:— On the 6th inst. the Rev. Mr. Walter called at the War Department and asked for a pass to visit Mrs. Surratt in the military prison, saying, if am not mistaken, that she had expressed a desire to see him. I submitted the request to the Secretary of War, who at once said that a pass might be given. Neither the Rev. Mr. Walter nor my- self then knew of the approval of the sentence of the military commission in the case of Mrs. Surratt, I sent Mr. Walter a pass, but afterwards fearing that the pass signed by myself might not, under the circumstances, be accepted by the officer in charge of the prison, in order that there might be no possibility of disappointment in the admission of a clergyman to afford the necessary spiritual services, I sent Mr. Barry, a clerk in my office, to see the Rev. Mr. Walter, and to tell him that it would be better not to go on the pass sent, but that I would aguin see the Secretary ot War, and, fs he had assented to the visit of the cler; to the prisoner, would get a by by himself, as otherwise there was a possibility of his being put to the trouble of going to the prison without being enabled to secure admission. Tt was also a part of my design that Mr. Barry should impress upon Rev. Mr. Walter the necessity of good faith in the use of the pass when replaced. After thus sending Mr. Barry to Father Walter I went to the Secre- tary of War and asked his own signature to a pass as referred to above, when, upon his signing which, I said to him that [ was confident the pass would be used solely for the purpose for which it was asked—a professional visit—to administer the sacraments and to prepare the person to be visired for death. Upon Mr. Barry’s return he informed me of the violent and excited lang of Father Walter with regard to the trial and its result, which he (Mr. Walter) had heard after leaving the War Department. On this went my- self to see the Rev. Mr. Walter to caution him, as his well wisher and as a friend of tho Churcb, and in my privatecapacity entirely, with regard to the use of lan- guage so igtlammatory as that which he had indulged in At this, a ¢ime of great public excitement. I introduced the conversation by stating that what ho had said bad made an impression upon the mind of my messenger, who had repeated his remarks to me. I ex- plained to him, as I have said above, that there might be @ possibility of his not getting into the prison upon my ae ane that I ee tien asked watansien = far for @ pase mself, upon giving. whic! 1 had said T'was confident that it) would not be used for. which it that was I wanted him (Mr. Walter) to beso governed that I would be safe in the assertion I had made. Mr. Walter had displayed so much excitement and ter that it was a duty of charity on my part, in view of all the circumstances, to endeavor to induce him to pursue a more discreet course and to counsel hun to be silent, as became his piace, on these topics. I asked him In a friendly and kindly way to promise me that he would desist from talking about the matter. Mr. Walter's convictions as to the Inno- cence of the prisoner, or the use of any proper efforts, believing her to be’ innocent, to arrest her oxecution, were not made matters of objection. It waa to the in- fait character and effect of his observations at this when the public mind was agitated, that my attention was directed. Unnece: , idle and angry dis- cussions and harangues could not but be mischievous just at this moment, and since it appeared that Mr. Waiter could not approach the subject with tomper and discre- tion it was better he should let it alone, This waa a confidential conversation between myself ‘and Mr. Walter, aa has been seen. The visit was not at all official, but entirely that of a private individual. My motives wore laudal They were to restrain im- prudent and mischievous , and to insure the use of the pass to be given in the faith intended when it was signed, and then to make my assurance good. The visit was not suggested by the Secretary of War, or even known to him until the present time. On this point, after what I had said, I do not see how Mr. Walter could have understood me’as being prompted by instructions in my conversation, Tn replying to mie Rev. Mr. Walter was very violent and generally denunciatory. The range of his conversation was quite wide. He harangued upon the administration and the rebellion, and dwelt with bitterness on what he called “military &) ew &c, He said bably all that he is represented in the fourth paragr@ph of the article in uestion as having said, and very much more than a pru deat priest, a loyal citizen or a man of common sense would have said, During all this time I was endeavoring to counsel tom, instructing against his expres. Bi and eujoining prudence. 1 do not know that I sought to patronize the Rev. Mr. Walter at all, and the Phrases wiich allude to this and the indignant rejoinder of Father Walter do not bring to my mind the recollec- tion of the scene described. I did not tell Father Walter that he should not have a pass if he did not promise to say nothing of Mrs. Surratt’s innocence. Annoyed by what he had said, [ was about, however, to leave the room and to defer giving him. the pass, remarking “I will send you word as to the pass in two hours,” when he said “I promis*.”” [intended within the two hours to see the of War and say to him that I was convinced after what had taken place that Father Walter was not in the proper disposition and frame of mind to be a suitable religious attendant upon the prisoner, gnd that under the circumstances the ser- vices of ancien priest should be procured for her in- stead. When Mr.» Walter said that he ‘promised,’’ Satisfied that he had determined to be governed by the considerations of pridenve I bad suggested, and beltev- ing that he would perform what he had undertaken, I gave him the pass, Nor did I, when I designed to with- draw from Father Walter without giving him the pass, by any means, intond thet bis acts should have the effect to deprive the prisoner of the services of clergy. My view, on the contrary, was only that some other eae wee Tn fact, another priest did go jes Dir. Findates oe priest With rogara to of a priest.

The most numerous gathering of spectators seen on the Capitoline ball grounds, Brooklyn, this season, was assembled yesterday afternoon to witness the contest between the Lowell Club of Boston, and the Atlantic of Brooklyn. A more numerous delegation of the fair sex, too, than has hitherto graced this locality with their presence occupied sats on the occasion. The weather, though warm, was favorable for the game, and tho junds were in fine condition, the field presenting a utiful appearance with its close cut green turf, esps- ¢ially when occupied by the players in their handsome uniforms. The champion nine were not out in full force, Pratt, their pitcher, being absent. A first class player ‘occupied his position, however, and ably discharged the duties thereof. The Tae pared with the same nine of the day previous, thelr third base player still being among the ntees. The game was opened by the Lowells, who were at once disposed of tn Atlantic style. Tho champions obtained eight runs by way of leading off in the batting. ‘This advantage at once made the final result, as far the victory was concerned, a foregone conclusion, and by of making success doubly sure they added no less 16 runs in their third innings, the totals sanding at the close 26 to 4 in their favor. Thus far the Lowell youths had not specially distinguished them- selves by their play, but at this period of the game they began to improve considerably, and for the remaining part of the game the Atlantics had little to boast of in the way of superior play either in the field or at the bat, tho experience as tacticians alone giving them the ad: vantage, the total runs obtained in tho last six innings on side being 19 to 13 in favor of the champions. What the Lowells lacked ip their match with tho Re- solutes they made up for i Cais game, their out fielding being the reverse their display of the day before. Their in-ficlding was not as good. ‘To be brief, how- ever, we have to state that the final result was the success of the Atiantics by the total ecore of 45 to 17. At the close of the game the Atlantics hospitably enter- tained their guests, and the Lowelis congratulated them- selves upon their good fortune in making 80 good a game with the champions. They made the only home run of the game, and took the greatest number of fly catches. We append the score ;— Phy OR @.
