ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHICAGO NOKEWATI0NS -TWO MORE SPEECHES FROM GENERAL- GRANT. The Committee appointed by the National Republican Convention, under instructions from that body, to present to General Grant and Hon. Schuyler Colfax a record of its pro? ceedings, and to inform them of their nomina? tion, "performed that duty on Friday evening, at the residence of General Grant. Quite a number of persons were present, including delegates to the convention, sevm-.il members of Congress, Gen. Grant's staff, and the ladies of the families of General Grant and Speaker Colfax, respectively. After aa. address ? by General Hawley, General Grant acid: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the National Union Convention-I will endeavor, in* a very short tim?, tc write yon a letter, accepting the trust yon have imposed upon me.. [Applause.] Expressing my gratitude for the confidence you have placed m me, I will now say but little orally, and that is to thank you for the unan? imity with which yon bave selected me as a candidate! farthe Presiden tia] o Qi ce. I canary, . in addition, I looked on during the.progress bf the proceedings at Chicago with a great deal of 1 interest, and am gratified with the harmony i and unanimity which seem to have governed the deliberations cl thc convention. If chosen to fill the high oi&ce for which yon have selected me. I will give to its duties the same energy, the same spirit, and the same will that I nave given to the performance of all duties which have devolved upon me hereto? fore. Whether I shall be able to perform these duties to your en tiro satisfaction time will de? termine. Yon have truly said, in the course of your address, that I shall havo no policy of my own to interpose against the will ot the people. Speaker Colfax also made a brief speech. Subsequently General Grant was waited upon by a committee of the "Soldiers' and Sailors' League." As bis responso is a literary curiosity, it is appended, as taken by one of tbe most accomplished stenographers of the age and reported verbatim as delivered : " Gentlemen cf the Committee of Soldiers and , Sailors-I will say that it never was a desire of mme to be a candinate for any political office. It is a Booree of gratification to me to feel that i I have tbe support of those who sustained ' me through the great rebellion whioh we i ha,ye passed. If I did not feel I bsd the J rapport of those, I would neyer have consent- i ed to bo ? candidate. It was not a matter of ' choice with me, but I hope, as I have ac- i cepted, that I will'have your aid and support, , trota now until November, as I had it "luring i the rebellion." IEE RECONSTRUCTION ACTS-SHALL THEY BE EX- j ECTT ED 7-THE RADICALS CORNERED-A CON- j GRESSIOKAL MUDDLE-RADICAL DIFFERENCES 1 TN THE BESAU!-WHAT WILL THE SI'PREME COURT DO WITH RECONSTRUCTION ? The Washington correspondent of the Bal ti- i more Gazette writes under date of Friday even- * fig: ? ; The rea] question, paramount to all others, ? is at last, at this point, assuming shape for i grave and decisive consideration. The Badi- j cals, in their unbridled career (presuming upon j their large majorities in Congress, unrestrain- i ed even by the Executive veto which has been ( very righteously interposed, and very sincere! v j it is believed by the country), have passed a i series of bills known as the Reconstruction j acts. The momentous question now looming np j is whether these laws (as they are called) shall j jr can be executed ? The tremendous power i DOW placed in the bands of the Conservatives by the inevitable effect of reaction and j not by fortuitous irrelevant issues, such ? is the impeachment of the President j [which merely served to unloose the < liscordant materials already upon the i point of explosion), "has enabled them to ? place the whole matter squarely befar?? the j iountry. The Radicals- have been corrected. \ ii was observable yesterday by the restiveness < if Drake and others in the Senate, that how- j ? ve r U)e vile plotters of a new disruption of the j remaining fragments of thu government may ( iffect to desire the restoration of the Union, < sven upon the iniquitous conditions pre- j scribed by the lawg rc Jarred to, they havo dc- ] termined to "go back" (quoting their Own i lian g phraseolgy in order to be intelligible all \ round), upon their own thrice reconstructed 1 system of reconstruction! Tho Radicals in i the Senate are now divided in respect to 'TCB- < toratiou" or "reconstruction" upon two vital j points, viz: First, whether if the Southern i States if now "admitted" are certain of voting j the Radical ticket in November; and second, < whether if (in case they are prematurely i brought into our blessed" Bepublic) the So- j premo Court will not bave time (before the i sighty electoral votes can be made available) ( to authoritatively declare that all Congress j baa yet accomplished in this behalf must be : taken in a Pickwickian sense, and in no wiso < obligatory in a legal one. The discussion in i the Sena te to-day upon thesa knotty points is sxceedingly refreshing. i BUTLER'S CAPTIVE-HOW ira. WOOLLET IS ! TREATED. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes under date of the 29th in- ' ?tant : \ The question regarding tho imprisonment is : now the one discussed iu all circles of society, ? ind the managers aro exerting themselves to make his confinement as unpleasant as possible. , Butler actually insists upon the Sergeant-at irms removing Woolley from the committee room which he now occupies to a cell in the basement of tho building. When this purpose became publicly known, a ; stream of visitors and sight-seers poured through the lower . stories of the Capitol -stories which lie far beneath the surface of the earth-inspecting the subterranean cette. Comparatively few persons have any know? ledge of the existence of such cells, but never? theless they aro there, and in a sufficient num? ber to accommodate a hundred prisoners with solitary confinement, where the voice of the outer world could never reach them, and where heir cries would be as much in vain as wore hose of him who wore the "Iron Mask" in the Bristile of France. To one of these colls the "blood hound" of thc Jacobins would consign Colonel Woolley but for the manly resistance of Mr. Ordway, the Sergoant-at-arms of the House. He told Butler that the prisoner was in his custody, and the man who would oppress or maltreat a prisoner was a coward. This, of course, did not conciliate Butler's revengeful feelings towards Woolley, and apprehensions are yet felt that be may succeed m gratifying bis mean vindictive spirit. TEE SECRETARYSHIP OF WAE-CONFIRMATION* OF GENERAL SCHOFIELD -STATU8 ANO VOTE OF THE SENATE. The Senate, in executive session on Friday, resumed tbe consideration of the nomination of Gee eral Schofield to <be Secretary of War. The di bate was confined to thc preamble and. resolution introduced on Thursday, in substance as follows: Whereas the order of the President removing Secretary Stanton from office was unconstitu? tional and illegal, but on account of Mr. Stan? ton haring on Tuesday relinquished said office, therefore Resolved, That the Senate do advise and con? sent to the appointment of General Schofield. There was not a full Senate, but parties sep? arated on the preamble os they did on tho im Bachment articles, while the vote on the r?so? lu itself was without such distinction. Both the preamble and resolution were adopted, and, therefore, General Schofield is confirmed as Secretary of War. THE PRESIDENT NOMINATES MR. STAN BERY TO BE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. The President on Friday nominated Hon. Henry Stanbery tobe Attorney-General; Thad? eus P. Mote, of New York, Minister to Costa Bica; Henry G. 'Worthington, Minister to the Argentino Republic, and Admiral Dahlgren to be Chief of Ordnance Navy Department. The nomination of Hon. Henry Stanbery to be At? torney-General was not unexpected, a? it was known that the President felt that, such an honor was due to bis late executive'legal ad? viser, who had promptly and voluntarily re? signed a place in the Cabinet to defend the President ja the impeachment trial. THE ADJO?ENMENT. After an extensive and totally profitless ses? sion of two months (two of which have been spent in tho impeachment force), tho Radical leaders, it is understood, have determined to adjourn both houses or Congress on the S?th of June. The current of legislative business of the nation i6 consequently to be altogether ignored, a result which it would be difficult either to condemn or-rejoice at. THE QABUB CHANGES. There can be no doubt of contemplated Cabi? net -changes. The only difficulty is how to effect them. Mr. Seward desires to go to Eng? land, as he indicated six months ago. Would the Senate confirm bim ? This chango depends upon the time of the adjournment of the Hen ate. Probably ot - er matters are in the same condition. ' REVIVAL OF TR ADE IN TI IK SOUTH. MODERN RIVALS OF NEW TORE FOB THE GRAIN TRADE OF THE WEST AND THE COTTON TRADE OF THE SOUTH. We commend to the perusal of the business men of our city the following thoughtful article from tho New York Herald of Friday last : The City of New York cannot prudently dis? regard the strenuous exertions that aro making northward and southward to wrest from her a share of tho trade which she has so long monopolized, and in the enjoyment of which ehe has come to consider herself beyond the roach of competition. The prodigious growth of the city is due mainly to two causes-first, to the command of Western trade, which she secured at a' very early date, and second, to the. relation she established and maintained with the cotton crop which secured to her almost a monopoly of the importing business of the Union. Her early command of tho ' Northwestern trade was obtained through tbe agency of the Erie Canal, which was opened just in time to take advantage of the rapid agricultural devel? opment produced by steam navigation on the Western waters. To steamboat navigation on tbe Hudson, the lakes and the great rivers of the West, and to the Erie Canal the West owes all ot its early and marvellous developments in production and population ; and this West? ern growth has bid its most striking result in the miraculous growth of New York city. The substitution of railroad transportation tc a configurable extent for that by water has tended disperse tbe advantages of West? ern trade in some degree, enabling other cities on or near the seaboard to participate in them with New York. But notwithstanding that these railroads are transacting a vas amount of business, still the great bulk o Western trade must continue indefinitely to : prefer the cheaper transportation of water. The Erie Canal, therefore, most continue to constitute a powerful leverage in favor of New : York ; although it must be recollected that , the obannel of the St. Lawrence, subse rmently rendered available for the discharge : of Western trade, constantly threatens a di? version of important fragments of the moss from New York, and admonishes our great em- , porium of the necessity of unceasing vigilance ind enterprise for the preservation of her com- ! merdai dominion. \ Nor is it by water alone that this competition is threatened. On the north the comi le bon of the Hoosic tunnel, with the consolidation of the roads from Boston to Albany, will soon -reate a powerful competition on that line; while a still more formidable competitor looms np in a still higher latitude. Mr. Aiv.n Bron? son, in a late number of Hunt's Magazine, , speaking of the great line of vailway leading . From Lake, Michigan to Portland, Mc., says , that it will put New York upon her mettle, and i ?dmonishes her to look to her laurels, for when completed, Portland will be nearer to Chicago , t>y two hundred miles, and to Liverpool by . three hundred miles than New York, an advan? tage of distance which is only compensated to , New York by the advantage of cheapness of . transportation afforded by the Erie and Oswe- ? io canals. Turning our attention southward, Baltimore , is making the most noteworthy exertions to -bare with Now York the importing and export ng trade of the Union. By means of its great- { -st work-tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad-it ( s drawing to its warehouses a very considerable . -bare not only of the grain of the West, but of ? the cotton and tobacco of the South and South- i vest. It disputes lor trade with New York at ! Chicago and Cleveland, with Philadelphia at \ Pittsburg, and with every Northern city at , Memphis, Nashville and Atlanta. By moons of , consolidations and loases it has secured entire , ;on trol of powerful railroad lines through Wheel- , ug, far. into Northern Indiana, and through Parkersburg andCincinnati eight hundred miles :o Indianapolis. It is not content to stop at :ho termini of its own proper roads on the -janks of the Ohio, bul by means of powerful , alliances it advances into the heart and centre if the disputed territory, and from standpoints nearly a thousand miles from its own count- ] ng houses and depots competes with its rivals i 'or the commerce of the interior. Besides a ; lue complement of eailing vessels, ic now has ?vc ocean steamers, owned by itself, ruuning ', regularly to European ports, and contemplates i steady increase of the number of steamers ' engaged in this direct trade. It has a prospe- i rous line of steamers plying to Charleston, by means of which it draws' to its wharves much cf the trade brought to that city by railroads from Memphis and Atlanta. The abolition of slavery tnd the inauguration of cotton culture by free labor must surely chans e the centres of cotton production. The most important of these new contres will bo Memphis, and the great bulk of cotton will be produced in that portion of the former cotton region most favorable to white labor. Tiic In? dian Territory, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, upper South Carolina, north and middle Georgia, thu same portions of Alabama and Mississippi, and north Louisiana and Texas will henceforth make up the cotton growing region of thc United States. Towards the northern boundary of ibis fine country now stretches a railroad from Norfiii-, Vir? ginia, to Memphis, on the Mississippi, oin- hundred and fifty miles in length; and this line will soon bo extended due west through Arkansas and the Indinn Territory lo the vjJl9y of the Rio Grande. That portion of this lino lying cast of the Mississip? pi Is fed by branch roads coming up from the States of Mississippi and Alabama, and also from Dalton, Borne, and Atlanta in Georgia, lt is also fed by branches from Nashville and from West Tennessee. Down and up the Mississippi to Memphis other large sup? plies of cotton and other trade aro brought in vast and increasing quantities to its western terminus. The natural point of d?bouche for this com? manding line of railway is Norfolk; and in the trade of this toad, wncn brought to Norfolk, the City of New York bas a very great interest. This line constitutes New Tork^ best avenue, overland, through the great cotton-producing zone of the United States, to that principal centro (next to New Or lean s ) of cotton receipts, Memphis. The key to the command of this great rail? way Une and its trade is that portion of it lying between Chattanooga, Tenn., and Lynchburg, Ya. At Chattanooga Charleston bids for the Memphis and Nashville trade by mea us of her line of railroad to that point; and at Lynch? burg Baltimore bids for the same trade by means of the road which she controls running from Washington City and Alexandria to that o entrai town of Virginii. Alf the inter? ests of the Eastern Virginia cities natu? rally combine them in a common effort to retain, control of that port of this railroad stretching from Lynchburg into Tennessee, called the-Virginia, and Tennessee Railroad ; and this control is strenuously, contested at each annual election of the officers of this com? pany by Baltimore. It seems, then, for the interest of New York to sustain the eastern cities of Virginia iii this great enterprise of a first-class railroad, and iu placing it under a combined and harmonious management, from Tennessee to Norfolk. That New York would immensely participate in the advantages of a trade thus brought to Norfolk trora the West and South it needs no argument to prove. The command of the cotton trade gives im? mense advantage in securing control of the importing business of the country, and no city can afford to look with indifference or compla? cency upon any measures designed to intercept from its accustomed control so commanding a staple. _ "Tire Hon." C. C. Bowen, HIS RECORD AS VIEWED FROM A RADICAL 8TA5D ' ponvT. D. H.' C., a Charleston correspondent of the New York Tribune, publishes in .that journal a sketch of the life of C. C. Bowen, member of j Congress elect from the Charleston District, in reply to the statements made by a correspon? dent of the New York Times in a letter, some extracts from which were published in THE N2ws. He says : Si At the breaking out of the war Mr. Bowen was a resident of the State of Georgia. He did not volunteer in the rebel service, but on the passage of the first Conscript act, in the sum? mer of 1862, he falling within toe prescribed apes, received official notice to report on a specified day as a conscript. Knowing that in the ordinary course of events hedonia be sent j to join the rebel army in Virginia, a nfl deter? mined to do no active service in> the rebel cause, he availed himself of the opportunity to join a company then forming far home duty, composed almost entirely of men of similar views with his own. In this company he was elected a third lieutenant, and subsequently, by the resignation of all bis company officers above himself, be became captain of the com? pany. In this position bis sole aim was to se? cure exemption for himself and bis friends from active service. In -This aiih he was suc? cessful until 1864, during which year, as the certainty of active service increased, he ob? tained a ten days' leave of absence, which leave of absence he himself extended to nearly three months. For this offence against the discip? line of the rebel army he was court mortialed and dismissed tho service. ' Some four weeks subsequent to his dismis? sal, while tho battalion to which his company had been formerly attached were oncamncd ou I the coast of South Carolina, onollajor White,- j commanding tbe 'battalion, was shot and wounded in his own camp at night. At thc date of this occurrence, Mr. Bowen was in Co? lumbia, two hundred miles distant. Neverthe? less, an order was issued by tho officer then in command of the battalion to tb o civil authori? ties in Charleston to arrest Mr. Bowen on the charge of killing Major White, although White was then living. Mr. Bowen happening soon ofter to be in Charleston, and learning of this order, immediately and voluntarily surrender? ed himself a prisoner, and was imprisoned in the Charleston jail. His prosecutor learning that Mr. Bowen was ablo to provo an alibi, changed his charge to one of being accessory to tho killing of White. On this piaste Mr. Bowen diligently and earn? estly demanded a trial during his whole impria- I onmsnt, but no trial was ever allowed. Some j days previous to the fall of Charleston, without j explanation and without trial, Mr. Bowen was unconditionally released by the rebel authori? ties. Now, ba it remembered, that from that day to this. Mr. Bowen bas been a resident of this city, at all times within reach of the laws, and amenable thereto, ye' never, from that day lo this, bas any attempt been made to bring this alleged murderer to ac cou nt or trial. What shall be said ' such a charge in view of this record? Is any conclusion admissible except that the charge was originally purely malicious? . . And what, especially, snail be said of this latest 1 reverend slanderer, who comes here io catch ap this foul charge and proclaim it to the whole country? Does not every fair mind say that bis course is viler than that of bis rebol con? freres? Upon thc occupation of Charleston by the Union forces, Mr. Bowen at once found em? ployment in the service of the United States, and soon devoted himself almost exclusively to the duties of an attorney for the freedmen of this city and vicinity. He was conspicuous on all occasions in asserting tho rights of the freedmen, and in instructing them in their duties in their new relations. When the Be-1 ( construction acts were passed, Mr. Bowen was , the earliest and moBt efficient laborer in the great woik of organizing tho Republican party in tho State, he necessarily subjected him-1 i Belt to the intenses t hatred of the iebels and to the jealousy of some narrow-minded Republi? cans. Again in the summer of 18G7, we find bim summarily arrested and imprisou (d in Castle Pinekney by military authority. It is sufficient to say of this attempt -? to injure Mr. Bowen, that after the closest ? scrutiny, he was again unconditionally rc!eas ad, upon an official report, of which tbe follow? ing is the concluding sentence: "It is due Mi*. Bowen that 1 say I can discover no fraudulent act or intention on his trial." At the election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention, Mr. Boweu was chosen to represent in part the City of Charleston. In the Convention, by confession of his former enemies, he bore an eminent and honorable port; was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee: earnest and faithful 1 in all his duties; just, liberal and patriotic in e tus spirit and action. His bitterest enemy will ] uni it hard to discover, in the records of that , Convention, anything which does not indicate that Mr. Bowen's largo itiflavnce was due 1 simply to his ability, industry, fairness and * moderation.

By this method fruits, Ac, may be kept in large vessels, and u?ed or removed therefrom from time to time as wanted, without fermentation being occa? sioned by thc exposure. One other' great advantage they have over all other methods ls that berries and all small and tender fruits can be preserved without cc oking or bolling them, thereby returning their natural color, flavor and appearance comparatively unimpaired,, and au perice to any other method, or to cooked fruits. For many years past effectually excluding the air bas been the great iesideratum in preserving fruits, kc, ns by the hermetically scaling or air-righting method, which consists cf, and depends solely for Its success upon effectually expelling the sir from thc fruit, kc, condensing the air contained in thc vacuum into steam or acid gas, and corking or seal? ing the jars air.tight; and failing to accomplish either of these important results, the fruit ls not safe, and will undergo au Incipient or acetic fermen? tation, r ndcring the fruit unfit foi use; yet, when effectually done, the fruit is kept very desirably, and will keep for years, and has really but two great ob actions, that of the additional expense for air-tight ?are, and that the fruit must bo used immediately titer opening the jars, as exposin? them to the dr or otherwise they wlU ferment in twenty-four to forty-eight hours, rendering them unfit for nae.

STANT_In 1817, the great grand principle-of stopping the most excruciating pain in an instant, without employing such dangerous agents as chloro? form, opium, morphine, acontine, ether, Ac, was first made known in RAD WAY'S READY RELIEF. This remedy accomplished this wonderful and de? lightful desideratum in all cases of external and in? ternal pam. In an instant it afforded relief, the mo? ment it was applied to the ports of the body where inflammation or pain existed-it at once relieved the patient of the most violent and excruciating pangs and throbs of pain, and Imported the delightful sen? sation of ease and comfort. Ever}' Und of pain, whether Rheumatism, Neural? gia, Toothache, Poins in the Chest, Side, Lunga, Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys, Spine, Legs, Arms, Feet, one application was sufficient to kill and extermi? na te the pain. Tai?n internally, twenty drops to a teaspoonful would cure, and will cure, Asiatic Cholera, Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Bilious Cholle, Inflam? mation of the Bowels, Cramps, Spasms, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, and every pain that may exist tn the in? side of man, woman or child; this waa Badway's Ready Relief of 1847, and it is Badwjy's Beady Re? lief, greatl^imprcved, in 1306. We then BtsrrwHt m its mission of relieving the in? firm, pjin-stricken, sick, distressed and crippled ot all nations throughout the world, and n w to-day it is used, patronized and revered as a household ne? cessity, in the palaces of Soltaos, Emperors, Ksimos, Kings, High Priests, Nobles, as well as in the cot? tages of the laboring clashes of every nation on the face of tho earth. In every war that has token place within the last twenty years, this remedy has been used as a preventive of malarious and infectious disco ..s as well as o cure for wounds, s ti ti joints, bruises, accidents, and to relieve tho soldiers from p-tn. Letters from Army Surgeons and distinguished Generals and soldiers in our late war are on file, certifying to the wonderful service of the BAD WAY'S READY RELIEF. It will prevent all against attacks of the worst diseases that prevail, LS-plagues or epidemics, and to those who are seized will at once check the disease and cure tho patients some? times with, and at others without remedial assist? ance. Xhis is Badway's Ready Belief. Persons afflicted with external pains, or rheumatism, neu. ralgia, toothache, cramps, spasms, otc, bathe tho parts affected, either by rubbing with tho honda or with a sponge dipped in the BELIEF, and pain will cease to exist. The miserable stuffs scented with the Oil of Cassia or Peppermint, sold under the names of paint, etc, are nothing but weak imitaions of BADWAY'S BEAD Y BELIEF, sent forth to tho world under our old advertisements of 1847, etc. 1 hey ore but imita? tions, and wiU die out in a tew months. 1 heir mak? ers, no (hing but a set of vagrants, street hawkers, and ci mp followers of side shows to ureuses, ofter the fashion of the "For Four Cent Mon," knowing as much, or rather little, about medicine as Barnum's "What is It?" The doggere advertisements thoy pay hungry Bohemians to write for them. 1 he ex? istence of these miserable imitations of the great and good Btady Bellet cf Dr. Rodway will be brief. Old patrons of Badway's Ready Relief are daily coming back, and so lt will ever be. Badway's Beady Be? lief will ever Etend the first, the best, the cheapest and quickest remedy lor the instant cure of pain in the wor!d. BADWAY'S BEADY BELIEF is sold for fifty cents in bottles holding three times as much as any t wenty-five cent bottle cf any other remedy lor the same purpose, and as much os one collar of the Pain Ki Bera.
