RICHMOND, October 23.-The second day of the election in this city upon the question of calling a Convention, and for de loara tea tc the samo, passed without any disturbance. Tho Bach?ala and Conservatives were actively employed all day in bringing voters to [tho polls. After the an? nouncement of the result of tho first day, the Con? servatives were much encouraged, and they are still confident that victory ia theirs. 'Many ne? groes had forgotten the names given when registered, and many more have left tho city ainco registration. The polls close to-night with a white majority of 521. It is estimated that they are the same number of Radical whitea and Con? servative Blacks in the city. Tho vot3 upon the question of calling a Convention cannot yet be aaeertained, but nine-tenths of the whites voted against it. At the solicitation of Riidicals General Schofield has ordered the polls to be opened in three wards again to-morrow. Much dissatisfaction exists among the Conservatives in consequence. The military wero on duty all day, but their services were not called for by the city police. Returns from the counties denote that the colorod men have voted en masse for the Radicals and in favor of Convention. -The line betweeen whites and blacks is distinct? ly drawn.

Bryant, Simeon Beard, John Neal and AlexLuder Stone-five whites and two blacks. The party seem confident of carrying tho Co; .en lion. The Conservativos or anti-Convention parti seem to favor the policy of neither voting for o: against tho Convention, but to voto only for dele gates. Several papers advocate this line of action while others 6trongly urge peoplo to keep a wa; from the polls, and take no part in the election. From Mobile. MOBILE, October 23.-Col.

It is not often that wo get BO much of truth in so small a space, and ooming, as this clipping does, from Mr. THUBLOW WEED'S (New York) paper, it will bo read with interest, as among the eigne of tho times. This old political manager pursued tho same conservative course, if we remember correctly, In oudeavoring to prevent tho Whig party from de? stroying itself. His advice tlion was not heeded, as it will not, in all probability, be now heodod, but the result was tho total disruption of tho old Whig party. Those who have spent their timo in denouncing us, in no measured terms, for our earnest efforts to warn tho Republican party of tho dangers of Ra? dicalism, aro now adopting our views and roper t ing our very lsnguagc. Even tho "veteran ob? server" of tho Times, who recently chided with us, now says: THE BEECHES, Tnurc*?y, October 10, 1867.-A great many people opened their eyes in astonish? ment at tho Ohio ofections, and had reason too. The causes of the overthrow and the leeson taught will be invaluable to all political leaders, if thoy will bo wise enough to look at the facts. If they will do this, they will be hke children with the measles-not take it a second time. ? * * * * see* Bot, out ir el y aside from this, tho people of Ohio wul not vote for negro Buffrage tul they chango their mind's. The fact that it was, practically, of J little or no importance, only showed that the par? ty leaders wanted to force it upon them against their convictions. "You can load a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink," says the pro? verb. Peter the Great undertook to 'shave tho long hair of his soldiers, and could not do it. Party leaders cannot do as much as he could. It is perfect nonsonse to talk about "logical sequen? ces" and tho "rights of suffrage1' to people who dont know what a logical sequence is, and oare nothing about suffrage for others ; besides :ho doc? trine itself is nonsense. ******* It is not the Christian idea to legislate men into anything. On the contrary, tao appeal is from haman tribunal to the higher tribunal of tho con? science. The German must be allowed to drink his lager bier unmolested, the young men to chew tobacco, the negro to be educated (aa ho wilL bo) to a high condition. lu ono word a national party must bo national, dealing only with the general policy. We lost ono of tho largest counties of Ohio for something about lager bier, and the City of Philadelphia was lost from the same canee. . .....? I have nor stated the true causes of tho Repub? lican failure in Ohio. The best thing tho Republi? can party can have now is to understand clearly its own blunders. It must leave negro suffrage alone. Let lager bier alone. It must take up tho financial question and treat it honestly and fairly. It must equalize taxation. Then it can nominate any fair mau for tho Presidency in 1868, and olect him triumphantly, and this, I behove, will bo dono, A VETERAN OBSEBVKB. And if tho Republicans of Ohio, even to oblige Messrs. Chase, Wade, Sherman, Schenck, Ashley, &c., ax., refuse negro suffrage, ia it fair for those men, in Congress, to force it upon othor States ? Ii the Radical leaders in thia Stato dared not oven subunit the question of negro suffrage to our own people, ought wo mako that question, for ether States, a plank in our platform ? That leading Radi al journal, tho Tribune, has an article ves terday morning, from Mr. Greeley himself, saying: Fourth-Foi thc Republicans aro bouud to go under (thank Godl) if they don't enfranchise tho blacks. .Manhood suffrago is no "side issue" for them, but ono of life and death. If tho blacks aro not enfranchised, Vailanchgham could beat General Orant for President. So Mr. Greeley "thanks God that tho Republi? can party is bound to go under" unless suffrage is forcibly couferred upon Southern negroes! And this declaration is mado after his own treacher? ous, cowardly rofusal to submit tho negro suffrago question to our own people! Lu regard to Mr. Greeley's idea of Vallandig ham's beating Grant, the "wish is father to tho thought." Vallandigham and Greeley wore origi? nal Secessionists. Greeley corresponded and cud? dled with Vallandigham, for "Peace," when "thero was no peace." Though the Tri bane, with thc co-operation of Chase and Wade, has run the "Re? publican Party under" in Ohio, it must do a great deal moro mischief before Grout can be beaton. THE CONVENTION.-Tho Sumter Watchman says: 'As the event of tho assembling of this extraor? dinary body noars them, our peopla fool less and less interest in regard to it. Constituted without the aemblanoe of Constitutional authority-tho machinery by which it is to be brought into exia tsuco so worked as to cut off and exclude, as far as possible, every inteUigoat and respectable while man, in order that the moro porfeot control may fall into tho hand.? of the negroes-with tho bayo? net present to euforoe ah this iniquity upon us, powerles8 i'.ud unresisting as wo aro, thc senti? ment of our (allen but stainless chieftain goes home with peouliar force to tlie heart. Surely, wo have nothing to do with it." Borne havo talked of ruuniug a ticket for this Convention in opposition to tho Radical nomina? tions. We cannot conceive how such a movement could possibly benefit us. Suppose wo, of Sum? ter, could defeat tho Radical ticket. There is no possibility of its defeat iu tho State. Then what use have tho white people of any B?nglo Diatrict for reorcaentativos in thut Convention ? Bottor leave its control entirely to tho Radicals. It is thoir Convention-not the Convention of the peo pki of tho Stato of South Carolina. As matters now stand, our people should main? tain a calm end dignified inactivity. A large number of oui whites, who wero allowed to do so, havo registered. Tho groat mass of tboso aro opposed to the Convention. We believe that that opposition may be best expressed uv remaining awav from tho polls on the dav of election. the LeconHiruction Aot requires that a majorltv of the regittcred velors shall vote upon tho ques? tion of Convention, and that a majority ot tho votes given shall be for a Convention in order tba: such Convention be held. It will therefore bo soon that each registered voter who declines to vote will be counted against the Convention the same as though ho had depoettod bia ballot endorsed "Against a Convention." ULAI K WOOD'S MAGAZI.fK. The Scptombcr number has boon reoeivod from Mr. JOHN R?SSEL, tho agent in this city. It opens with a vory readablo articlo on "Novels,'' Miss BBADDON and tho epicene author of "Strath? more," etc. - OriDA-receivo tho lion's share of tho attontiou of the critic. That so able a man, with so well-stored and analytical a mind, as herc con? descends to instruct and amuso us, should have road such a vast numbor of sensation novels, is a problem that passes our compr?hension ; wo oan uot even consider tho case analogous to that of the man of scienco, who, fired with zeal and en? thusiasm in pursuit of truth, and the investigation of tho mystorics of nature, spends days, months and years in the noisonio atmosphere of tho dis? secting room. Wa cannot understand it, we say, but we feel grateful to havo tho essence of a whole library of novols in such presentable form. Tuc difforo:i:o between Fronch and English literature, i. c., as English literature was known and understood until tho advent of Miss BBAD? DON, is thus admirably set forth by tho writer : 'English novols havo for a long time-frrtm the days of Slr Walter Scott at loast-Lolrl a very high reputation in th? world, not. so mw h porhaps for what critics would call the highest development of art, as for a certain sanity, wholesomeness, an 1 cleanliness unknown to other literature of tho same class. This peculiarity has had its effect, no doubt, upon those very qualities of tho national mind which produced it. It bas increased that pcrfoct liberty of reading which is the rulo in most cultivated Euglish houses ; it has abolished tho domestic Index Expurg.itorius as woll as all p.iblic censorship ; it has made us securo and unsuspi? cious in our reception of everything, or almost everything, that comes to us in the form of print, ibis noble confidence has been good for everybody concerned. It has put writers on their honor, and saved readers from that wounding consciousness of restraint or of danger which destroys all deli? cate appreciation. Thoro aro other kinds of liter? ature in which tho darker problems of the time cnn I be fitly discussed, and, with a tole ably unanimous I consent, Euglish writers havq agreed to loavo those subjects iu their fit place. Tho novel, which is tho favorite reading of tho young-which is ono of tho chief amusements of all secluded and most 8ufi'orinjr people-which is precious to womou and unoccupied persons-has boon kept by this un? derstanding, or by a natural impulse better than any understanding, to a great decree puro from all noxious topics. That corruption which has so fatally injured the Fronch school of fiction has, it has been our boast, scrupulously kopt away from ours. It was something to boast ot. We mig.it not produce the same startling effects ; wo might not reach the samo perfection in art, which a craftsman utterly freed of all restraints, and treat? ing vico and virtue with equal impartiality, may aspire to ; but wc had this supreme advantage, that wc were freo to all classes and feared by none. Men did not snatch tho guilty volumo out of sight whon any innocent creature drew uigh, or maturo i women lock up the book with which they conde- j j sconded to amneo thomselves, as they do in France. Our novels wcro family reading ; and tho result bas boen a sonso of freedom, an absonco of all suggestion ol evil, in tho superficial studios of | ordinary society, which it is impossible to over? estimate. "Arous sommes lotis d'un agc mur" said an irreproachable French matron to tho E?glish acquaintance whoso eyes expressed a certain amazement at thc frankness of sotuo drawing-room I ? narrative ; "f espere, que cons ne pensez pas qutje \ f parlerais comme ca decaid des jeunes gens." Thia idea, which is tho very heart ol' French idoas on the subject, is quito foreign to our insular habits. Wc aro accustomod both to road and to speak everything that comos in our way in tho presence ot jeunes gens. The habit has so grown upon us that to chango it would Involve a revolution in all oui' domestic arrangements. It woidd uivulvo us in an amount of troublo which vory fow could face. Wo should require three or four packi ts from tho library instead of ono. Wc should havo tho nuisance of separating our children and dopon- 12 dnnts from our own amusemonts. Wo should no longor bo able to discuss, as wo do now continual? ly, tho books that wo aro reading and tho thoughts wo are thinking. This is a necessity from which wo have been altogether froo iii tho tranquil past ; but it is an indulgence wh ch orly habit and tho long uso and wont of public security prcsorvo to us now. How Gold Coins are Counted and Counter? feits Detected. [From thc Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.] Tho coin is sent into tho "Gold" Bureau in tho New York Sub-Treasury from banks, tho Custom House and other sources, whero it is counted and examined. The coin counters tako a bag of specio, empty it upon a table and assort it, separating the smaller from the larger coin, not by tue slow pro? cess of handling each piece, but by throwing it in? to a seive, which by tho simplo act of agitation permits tho smaller pieces to drop through in a soivo with smaller holes, and HO on until tho sepa? ration is completed. This apparatus is tho inven? tion of Mr. E. ll. Bird8all, tho Superintendent of j tho Departmont, who has boen m tho branch of tho Government employ for over twouty years. After the coins are assortod, they are examined to detect counterfeits. Thia is done rapidly, but so accustomod are the dorks to handlo coin that they nover fail to discovor counterfeits or fillod pieces. I was shown several specimens of tho counter? feiter's work, which havo been purchased by .Mr. Birdsall as curiosities. Ono was a $20 cold piece, to all appearance perfect as possible; the weight was correct, as also were tiio size aud goneral character, but it was a filled coin. Tho operators take u saw with which they cut through tho edgo of tho piece, separating it in half. They thou pro? paro the material which is to supply tho abBtractod gold and insert it betweon the halves. Thc whole is then submitted to pressure and heat at tho same timo, by which the union is made perfect. Tho piece is thon refitted and ready for reissuing. Antiquarians may remember that the gold pieces they used to carry were of difiere nt color; somo wero yellow and others brassy in hue, whilo others were of a copper color. Tho reason for thia is ex? plained thus. Whon tho gold poured into tho mint fron California in largo quantities, as it did soou after the discovery of the precious metal, tho machinery of th mint was insufficient to thorough? ly separate the silver from it, and consequently was coined with a large portion of that alloy, giving of a brass v hue. Now the mach i ne ry is per? fect and all gold coin has a coppci hue. In a handful ot gold one may soe almost half a dozen shades of color and when this is considered it will be soen that tho counterfeiter has no easy task before him. But so expert aro some of tho lellows that they have actually prepared filled pieces which they could not detect themselves and finally adopted a mark, which they placed upon the head of liberty, on tho face, so that they could identify it again. Experts in handling coin soon como to detect the filled pieces by tho appearance which they bear in consequence of having been subjected to heat in tho reunion, but tho operators bathed tho application of this test by putting at tho same time a number of pen cet coins which had also been subjected to heat. Now it roquires mon of large experience in bandung coln to detect tho im? perfection. Countorfoits of base metal entire are easy of detection. If a counterfeit or fillod coin comes into tho gold room, it is cut through and then returned to tho party sending it, who is re? quired to substitute good money for it. Atter the com is assorted and examined it is counted, but not in tho way pooplo ordinarily count money. A known quantity-say $000 or $1,000, is placed in ono scale and coin poured into tho other until it is counterbalanced. Thou there may bc a slight variation, but not sufficient to announce tho absence of ono coin, and the variation is attributed to the woaring of the gold by circulation, and tho amount of tue scale is considered correct. In this way $5,000 are counted, and thou they aro d. posi? ted in a bag and ready to bo sent to tho safe, but not, however, before one bug hos been woighod against another, and thus all errors iu amount are guarded against. ^ -~~-^Hvi..
