The Convention of so-called southern loy alist hat toned oat pretty ranch u was ex pected by til decerning men. It was aim ply n ipumodio effort on tks part of a miscellaneous lot of political adventurers to Bain political dowcr and now that the spasm is orcr th6 public look with amazement npon the mangled remains of the body which threatened at one time to rise like Goliath of Oath and go forth to battle. What sort of a tling It was that killed this pretentions giant we cannot say, bat it is certain that he lies prostrate, while the tree Union men walk around the prostrate form, looking with wonder and pity upon so much pretended loyalty thrown away and wasted, According to the theory ot that Conven tion, the black man was as much entitled to a prominent seat aa anybody else, but the black man was thrown overboard. Fain. Douglass is a negro who possesses infinitely greater ability than Jack Hamilton, Parson DaowxLOw, and 6ther demoralized whites who took leading parts In the Convention, and yet Douolass was snubbed and ignored, while the vulgarities and blasphemies of the white men were applauded to the echo. The speeches Qf Bhownlow and IIamsato.v will not bear a comparison with those of Doco lass in tone, temper, ability, clearness, and force, and yet DoroLAsa received the cold shoulder, and tho trump card of the radicals was thrown away. The truth Is that this radical Convention, which was gotten up to off-set the National Union Convention, is a miserable failure. It was mado up, for the most part, of men who have no hold upon the people either at the North or the South. They were, for the most part, a set of political adventurers, whose only right (!) to legislate upon notional affairs consists of their hatred of Tun l'rrai. dist and their hankering after the flesh-pots of Government patronage. It will be an in teresting sight to witness the figuring up the profits and losses of the flesh-pot Com cation by the radical leaders next week. THE MARTYR PRENIDEXT. Among the resolutions adopted by the Baow.iLOw-IlAMiLTOx convention, on last Wednesday, was ono alluding to "that ilius trious martyr," the lato President Lincoln, and another to "that great leader of emanci pation and champion of human freedom, Henry Winter Dams." Now, President Lincoln had few more formidable opponents than Henry Winter Davis. The policy acted upon in the conduct of tho war and the policy enforced, by Mr. Lincoln in re storing conquered States to the Union were denounced by Davis as wrong in principle and fatal to the ends which radicals like him self had in view. Nothing has been said or written against President Johnson more se verc, more sweeping In its condemnation, than the Wade-Dai is manifesto against Mr. Lincoln, issued in August, 18C4. According to Davis and Wade, Mr. Liv coln was a usurper, a tyrant, an enemy to republicanism as understood by the radicals. Indeed, all that the radicals now say against President Johnson was in those days said by the radicals against Mr. Lincoln. The profession of love and admiration for the latter, in which they now indulge, is, then, downright hypocrisy. They cannot applaud the principles and course of Winter Davis without in effect censuring the principles and course of Mr. Lincoln. The two arc irreconcilable, and the radicals, we know, are on the side of Mr. Lincoln's assailant. To be consistent, the admirer of Mr. Lin coln must be the supporter of his successor j for the policy which led to the publication of tho Wade-Dai is indictment is the policy to which the Jou.vson administration has faithfully adhered.

A tartisax Pennsylvania paper recently, speaking of meetings held by the masses through out the State In behalf of Its principles, was made, by a typographical error, to say, "Tbe ama are holding meetlogs in tbe north part of tbe Stale, and are being addressed by Gorernor Hamilton and General Simon Cameron." At the requestor the managers, of the Colored Methodist church at Lynchburg, Va., who are about erecting a new place of worship, the cere mony of laying the corner-stone is to be performed by tbe Masons, according to tbe rites of their an cient Order. The Lynchburg Virginian says that this Is the first Instance of the kind known In tbat vicinity, and commends tbe fact to northern people as an Illustration of tbe excellent feeling atlsUcg between the white and colored people. Foua citizens of Giles county, named George Welles, James Rusae'll, George Eelff, and John Sullivan, were brought to Nashville on Mon day, under military guard, charged with murdering a negro on the 23d of June last.

Such manifestations of the popular appreciation of htm nave everywhere been expressed by all classes, and their voices seemed to bo strengthened to give expres sion to their enthusiasm. Admiral Farragut also received the plaud its of admiring friends. The President has generally received warm receptions, but varying in the degrco of' enthusiasm accord ing to the prevailing political sentiment in the locality. WiLxixaroH, 11 o, in The President, In response to the call for a speech, said that one could not reasonably be expected from him now, for want of time. "Wo have," he re marked, "just passed through a perilous con test, and you aro engaged in another great struggle for the preservation of tho Consti tution of your country. I leave with you tho Constitution and the flag, and not with twenty.five bnt with thirty-six stars, for your protection. Applause.

The President, Admiral Farragut, and others were intro duced by Hon. Mr. Hogan, of Missouri, to a large crowd. Tho greatest possiblo anx icty wasoinccd to sco General Grant, and repeated calls were mode for him, tho spec tators being wild with excitement The General appeared on the platform, andwas greeted with vociferous applause. When he retired, President Johnson commenced speaking, but waa interrupted with renewed cheers for Grant, and a voice said, "We don't want hunting bread an'd butter In tho homo of Lincoln." To which Mr. Hogan replied, "All that you aro afraid of is losing your bread and butter, and that's what's tbe matter." The President remarked to those iho were disposed to create a disturbance that ho was on the lino with General Grant con tending for tho- Union of tho States. Before he could say moro the train resumed its way, Smj.sarisi.D, 4.30 p. rsl A larire crowd had assembled at the depot Salutes were fired and music played by a band. The President uas first Introduced and then oth ers. '1 be people clamored for Gen. Grant. and on his appearance the shouts were ter rific and long continued.

" Did you over hear me preach!" to. which the "witty essayist stuttered the reply, " I never neara you uo anyiaing else, ine readers of John Buskin might adopt the same answer to tho same question from him. Perhaps some of our readers may be curious to know what sort of a preacher the much-bcpralsed and much-berated writer Is. From the last volume, "Tho Crown of Wild Olive," we quote the following, more In the Spurgcon style than is common with Buskin: Everybody In this room has been taught to pray daily "Thy Kingdom Come." Now if wo near a man Bwcor in the streets we think It very wrong, and say he takes God's name In vain. But there's a twenty times worse way of taking bis name In vain than that. It Is to atk God for what we don't want. He doesn't like that sort of prayer. If you don't want a thing don't ask for It: such asking is tho worst mockery of your King you can mock him with; tho soldier's striking him on the head nith tho reed was nothing to that. If you do not wish for his kingdom don't pray for it. . But if you do, you must do moro than pray for it; you must work for It And to work for it you must know what It Is, wo have all prayed for It many a day without thinking. Observe, it Is a kingdom that Is to come to usj we are not to go to It. Also, It is not to bo a kingdom of tho dead, bnt of the liv ing. Also, It is not to como all at once, but quietly nobody knows how. "Tho Kingdom of God comctli not v.ith observation." Also, it is not to come outside of us, but In the hearts of usj "the Kingdom of Christ is with in you." And being within us, It is not a thing to bo seen, but to be leltj and though it brings all Bubstauco of good with it Itdocs not consist in that; "the Kingdom of Heaven is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace und joy in the Holy Ghost:" Joy, that is to say, in the hopeful Spirit Now ij we want to work for this kingdom, and bring it, and enter Into It, there7 just ono condition to .be first accepted. You must enter It as children, or not at "all. "Whosoever will not receive It us a littlo child, shall not enter therein." And uguiii, "Hiiller littlu children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is tho kingdom or heaven." Tint French cornpuny which undertook tho completion of the great Virginia canal from Richmond td the Ohio river, has failed, or abandoned the enterprise.

Quite an exciting de bate took place at the Convention to-day on the address reported by the Committee on Recon structed States, and the John Minor Botts resotu tloni, which were published In tbe TVieuns oa Monday morning, were lost. The calling of yeas and nays having been ordered on tbe report, a scene of the wlldeit excitement ea sued, showing that these reconstructed gentlemen were more bitter and antagonlitlcthan before the Jenrder Statei retired. John Minor Botts demanded a division of the queetlon requiring a separate vote on the first por tion of the report and another on tbe latter portion In reipect to manhood suffrage. Twenty or thirty gentlemen Jumped to their feet and etrongly opposed the division, and a half doiea were also shouting at tho same time for tbe ipoak. er'e chair, and Jointly performing the duty of chair loan. Tho motion ol Botts was finally ruled out of order, and the calling of the roll ooinineoced. During the oonteit every man shouted at the top of hli voice, and boat the air with hit bands and annl.

We learn that an affray occurred at Buck ingham Conrt-honsc, on Saturday last, be tween a lawyer named James Leach and An thony Walton and his son, whose given name we did not hear, which resulted in the death of the elder Walton, and the mortal wonndine of his son. The affair crow out of La supposed criminal intimacy- between the wuooi me eiacr nation ana I acn,tne Tacts of which, however, It is proper to say, had been fully investigated by mutual friends of both fiarties, and by them pronounced entirely un ounded, and ft was supposed by all that tho whole matter had been settled to the BaliaJac tlon of tho Waltons. This, it appeara5ras not the case, as young Walton, meeting with Leach on the street Saturday, asked of him further explanations, and while they We talking the matter over, some officious friend went to the house ol the elder Walton, and told him his son and Leach were engaged in a difficulty, and the father proceeded at once to where they were. Upon getting' near enough, he immediately drew his pistol and fired, without effect, at Leach, who returned the fire, his ball striking him in the neck, the wound terminating fatally in a few minutes. The younger Walton and Leach then com menced firing at each other, ono of Leach's balls penetrating the abdomen of Walton, Inflicting a mortal wound. Leach himself was unhurt. After the shooting he surren dered himself to tho officers of the law, and was tried and acquitted, upon the ground of having acted in self-delence. Tbe parties of this unfortunate affair were all highly respectable, and its tragical results are most deeply deplored by tho entire com munity. Lynchburg A'etus. A Ilia Farx. One of the monster farms of modern times is that' of Oen. Urcjuiza, of Ilucnos Ayres. It Is composed of an un broken body of 9,000 square miles, over which countless thousands of horses, cattle, and sheep are grazing. Of cattle, the farm sends over 60,000 annually to the slaughter. The horsos would supply tho cavalry of a large armvj and from the wool of' tho sheep ships are loaded annually and sent directly to Eu rope. Tho buildings are ranged round two largo squares, tho open space of which Is paved with dressed stones. The gardens and orchards are in keeping with the other fea tures of the estate, and contain an endless variety of horticultural and floral treasures. Among other improvements Is an artificial lake, seventy-live rods square, and from twenty to thirty feet deep, the cost of which was one hundred thousand dollars in silver. Near the main rcsidenco is a permanent en campment of soldiers under tho Ucneral's immeuiato command.
