PRELIMINARY RADICAL PRAYER MEETING, &e. &o. &o. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE°NEW YORK HERALD. PurLapernata, Sept. 2, 1866. PORRSHADOWING OF THE CONVENTION. Af it be true that “coming events cast their shadows ‘before’ the “shades” in this city, to-day may be ac- eepted as indications of the character of Cutffie’s Con- Wention to-morrow, There have been more “‘blacks'’ fly- $ng about in Philadelphia to-day than ever were seen in ittsburg on a working day with every furnace in op- jon. Every mahogany hall has poured forth its olored swarms to greet the dolegates as they arrive; and bo in his swallow-tail, and Dinah in her ribbons, have wn their teeth on every street corner and around the moors of all the principal hotels. PREPARING YOR THE DELEGATES, “The hotel keopers evidently appreciate the character thea convention. At the Continental they have pru- tly taken up all the carpets in passages and parlors, Phrough fear that the delegates might indulgo in the Pharactoristic amusementsfof a Virginia breakdown, to he damage of the velvet pile and Wiltons. DELEGATKS ARRIVING. ‘i The delegates have been arriving to-day, but not in Jarge numbers, the major part being from the iterior ot his State and from Onio. There have, however, been Rome names registered at headquarters purporting to be Jfrrom Southern Statos. CCIDENT TO A TRAIN—PRED DOUGLASS AISO ARRIVED. The truly great representative man of all the Conven- fiton, Fred Douglass, arrived to-day at eleven o'clock. fe came on the train that left Pittsburg at ten minutes four yesterday afternoon, and which ran over a horse Rae ans Joy at four o'clock this morving, and was Phrown off the track in consequence, (hurt, although it was a narrow escape, the speed of the Mnmanageable cars being only checked when a few feet from a bridge, a fortunate thing for Fred Douglass, bough a more lamentable result might have saved the nvention from an awkward controversy which has Bprung up to-day. Is Sambo to come in? This contro- fversy turns upon the question, Is Sambo to be allowed to Fes his ebony skiu and tight locks into the Conven- n No person was Fred Douglass, it is said, is a regularly chosen jegate, and at least two’ gentlemen of color we presented themselves for admission up to is time, nition, and declare that jt wil bo is allowed a seat upon the floor. ‘The representa. n mist be confined to whites, they say, no matter jow mean the whites may be. This has been the sub- tof much warm controversy at the hotels to-day, and iil, no doubt, greatly exercise the convention to- orrow, The Northern delegates Caer inst their ruin the party if RADICALISM OF THE SOUTHERN WHITES, Indeed, the main trouble of the Northern radicals now the ultra radicalism of the white representatives of @ loyal blacks. Having no constitency beliind them cept the unambitious Scipios and Hannibais and Julius whose names they are endeavoring to enrol on poll list, they insist upon the propriety of admitting the negroes who may apply for seats, and of de- arin: first, last and always tor negro suffrage. This Northern dele,ates oppose, and they have been igngod all day in urging upon the Southern whites the icy of treating Frei Douglass and all other negro idelegates as Vatiandigham and Wood were treated by ‘the August conventin, and persuading them to with- hold their claims to seats for expediency’s sake. CHARACTER OF THE SOUTIERN REPRESENTATIVES, The men claiming to represent the South are not ly to yield to any such arrangement. They have ind them no white constituencies. With a tew ons they are di: army sutiors or waifs pped in the Southern States during the rears of war by th» operations of the Freedmen's Bureau the Treasury cutton speculations. They iusist upon 1 negro suffrage as the main point for which they we to play. or 3 The reason of this is well illustrated by a conversation y between an outsider and a member of the Con- tion from Mississippi—Dr. R. O. Sidney—which ran few ell, sir, we intend to fore» upon eal the policy of universal suffrage for Beye ‘as its leading principle. juTsIDER—Do you think you will make much political tal by mo *towey—Why, sir, by that we should gain in aaippt the votes of three hundred thousand original wes, and they would almost to a man be with us. Ovrsipsr—And bow many white votes would you get Bn the state? Dr. Srpney—Well, we should get probably three hnn- (red in the State, Another Mississi delegate standing by dissented psig this, saying “ Ob, no, tor, | think you put that high.” This ts the sort of free suffrage the mean whites want— tes for three hundred white men and the disfranchise- it of the rest of the white population of the State, A COLORED GENTLEMAN'S OPINION OF TIIR CONVENTION, As this is a nigger convention from wool to heel, it rs eminently consistent to seek the negroes’ opin- of its character. Now, Mr. Daniel Webster—not the je of the expounder, but an intelligent waiter ‘4 Philadelphia hotel—was asked to-day what he jonght of the convention, and replied to his questioner, * Well, sab, dont know much; these folk talk a great Gea! but they never give us any stampe—all our stam; ¢ from the other side."” This might have been the the 3 febstor's shrewdness to obtain “stamps,” as he called ™m, irom the questioner; but it is unquestionably a fact that the philanthropy of these gentlemen does not often take a practical turn.

Forney is striving hard to run the convention, but he suffers co snubbing. Fred. Douglass ‘would easily get the vote of the Southern whites for President but for the fact that the Northern delegates are to take no part in the convention.

Nothing but my anxiety and desire that the legislative should triumph over the executive has induced me to come up to the convention; for if Con- gress should fail and the President triumph all white Unionists and colored loyalists must leave the South, I propose to hide out no longer. Ihave hidden in the mountains and fled for the last time. 1 am resolved to stand my ground, and I will meet my fate like a man, if a lamp post in sight of the Capitol of Lennesseo, the prayers of the congregation for myself and the 1 population of the South; for God knows they need rayer worse than avy other class of people, (Sensa- tion). THE ADDRESS. An address will be publisted after the pattern of the Augas, Convention. Lorenzo Sherwood, of Texas, wrote one address, which is now in the bands of Jack Hamilton. Greeley, however, desires an address pro- pared by him in rivalry of Raymond. ORDER OF PROCRRDINGS. A long programme is published to-day of the order of proceedings for to-morrow, It 18 proposed that the colored delegates and visitors head the procession, THE CONVENTION A FIZZLR, The convention, it is admitted, will be a fizzle. There are only a handful of pretended Southerners here, representing no person but themselves. Not a single delegate has any constituency at ali behind him, unless he succeeds in enfranchising the negroes. The meeting is, therefore, to be turned into a collection of stam) speeches, to be delivered to Philadelphia roughs and w miring darkies from different points in the city wherever @ crowd can be raised. ARNIVALS TO-NIGHT. The prominent arrivals late to-night are Governor Hawley, of Con: ecticut, and a delegation; Senator Wil- son, 0: Massochusetts; Senator Fogg and Governor Smyth, of New Hampsbire, and the headless Lincoln, of Brooklyn. A RADICAL POLITICAL PRAYER MEETING. The prayer and conference meeting at the rooms of the State Central Committee, Chestnut street, was purely a political gathering, and instead of prayers and thanksgivings we had walling and gnashing of teeth and personal assaults upon the Chief Magistrate of the nation, It was a sad commentary upon the times to see such a respectable and dignited looking man as Seuator Harris presiding over such an irresponsible and revenge- ful set of peopie as these loyal Southerners appear to be. It was nigger, nigger, nigger and destruction to the white population of the South if this handful of men were not to be rovarded as the true South. Congressmen Cook, of Iilinois; Maynard, of Tenn- exsee, and Senator Lane, of Indiania, were of the party. So was the aarson editor of Virginia who styles himself “Old Hurnicutt,” and swears that be will fight out the battle of free 5] and free press until Richmond is as civilized as ton and New York. So were several persons of the female sex. The meeting was held in the parlors of the State Union Central Committee. There were pictures on the walls, busts of Lincoln and Clay im corners, and a large Bible and a pitcher of ice water on the table, The men and women wore serious and solemn ip faces, and before the proceedings opened they ventured to ouly in low whispers, and cond) themselves gene- rally as if they were in church. ere was some talk of Beecher and Frerious bewailings over his abominable backsliding. It was arran, that there should be no abuse of the President indulged tn until it should come to be regularly in order after the eonven- tion should assemble; but out it came—it could not be suppressed. One clergyman from New Orleans, named Newman, complained because the President had given him the sound advice not toforce himself upon the people of the South, as they did not desire to have either him or his brethren. A del from Tennessee denounced the President as a dis- to the country. Senator Lane delivered a that was only remarkable for its bitterness, and Congressman Maynard made some observations that were not le for anything in particular. Lieu- tenant Governor Bross, of Iilinols, led the faithful in prayer, and between fim pad and political there was @ regular wiching. A member of the Tennessee Legislature, named Mullins, gave expression to some ravings that might be appropriate to the inmate of # lunatic asylum, and appeared as if be had been in the babit of holding forth at spiritual conventions or woman's rights meetings. Altogether it was a fitting in- troduction to the Miscegenation Convention. Ex-Governor Smith, of Rhode Island, Declines Being a Delegate to the Mulatto Convention. Provivexce, R. 1, Sept. 2, 1866. Ex-Governor Smith sends to the State Committee the following letter :— R. L, August 31, 1866. VIDENCE, Sm—Your note of the 29th was received yesterday. Believing that delegates to any general convention should be chosen by the people at meetings called for that purpose, and not by a committee who were chosen for other purposes, and for other reasons satisfactory to myself, I reepectfully dectine serving ar a delegate in the convention to be holden in Philadelphia on the 34 proximo, Truly, JAs.

S#°Fe tary, aside from that officer's notoriously charged « 0” nection with the cotton ring, may be gathered from .* little cirourstance developed since the President's de- parture. Both the President and Secretary had united in promising the Texas delegation to the Philadelphia Convention that a certain prominent and respected gentleman should be appointed to one of the collectorships in that State. A few days ago it was dis- covered that a commission had beem mado out and signed for th position in the name of another party, against whom charges of corruption as cotton agent were on file in the department, upon which he had been dis- missed. A Texas gentleman hastened to the Secretary and demanded that the appointment be set aside. The Secretary admitted his own and the President’s pledgo that another should have this particular office; but the commission bearing the President's signature, be thought he covld not go buck of the President's act. The gen- tloman then reminded him that he could at least with- hold a commission from a person against whom the records of the office developed serious crime, The See- retary sent for the records and found the case as stated.

General Graut's Father-in-Law Stricken with Paralysis. Mr. Dent, father-in law ot General Grant, was attacked with a stroke of paralysis, accompanied with convul- sions, about noon to-day. Mr. Dent resides with General Grant, He bad complained of @ slight headache in the morning and bad taken a bath, but without securing relief. He gradually grew worse until about noon, when the paralytic stroke seized him, His son, General Dent, and bis daughter, Mrs. Grant, were fortunately at hand to assist him. Dr. Dubamel was immediately summoned and proceeded to apply the proper treatment. Dr. Watson, United States Army, and Dr. Brennerman, of General Gran:’s staff, were also promptly in attendance and rendered assistance.

ORIGIN OF THR MIGHT. For rome time past Ted Romley, a promising youth romewhat ont of his teens, hax been talking fight among the fancy of Brooslyn, but until recently nobody cared to j take any notice ot what he was about. Prominent pugiliets knew little or nothing of him. and for a time he had things all bis own way. Latterly, however, be was arrested in his career of glory ty one John Cody, better known as Jack Cody, of Rethook Point, who seemed to think that be could physically diepote with ‘Ted’ the Tight to carry off the Sanrels among the fighting men of the district.
