OOItUMBIs: Tuesday Morning, August 2?,^|866. TllC C<)livr?tll)ll. The Address ami DeclaraticA of Principles issuc?f by the ^riladerphin Convention, will be read with interest Although some of tho resolutions might have been very properly omit? ted, yet on tho whole, and under existing circumstances, the work of this body will receive the approval oi thc people of tho South-__ We may now safely say that the proceedings of thc Convention, taken in connection with President John? son's remarks lo the committee from that body, published iu the Phoenix on Sunday, give us au assurance that the days of the radical faction ere numbered, and that the work of res? toration will be speedily and complete? ly perfected. President Johnson hal done much towards this happy con? summation, but there remains much still to be done. In his remarles tc the New Hampshire delegation, he fully endorsed the .principles ape] policy set forth? and indicated thai in future, every mau appointed te office, would bo required to sustain them. Wc think, then, that ho if now complete master of the position, and with the aid of the i rue and patriotic men of tho country, ho will be enabled to steer the ship pf statt safely to the harbor of peace? *?* k We subjoin the closing scene ol the Convention. The motion having been mado to adjourn sine die, th? Chairman, Senat or Doolittle, said: GENTLEMEN or THE CONVENTION For the kindness and courtesy bj which yon have unstained the Chair, in the efforts to which, by your r?solu tiou, you have been pleased to al lude, I return you my sincere thanks. Before putting that motion, whicl: shall terminate thc proceedings of this Oouventiou, I shall ask you once more to join with tho Bev. Wilban; Elliott in invoking the benediction ol Almighty o od, by whoso support vrt are sure of success, but without which we should inevitably faiL The Bev. Mr. Elliott thereupoi made an eloquent prayer, returning thanks for the harmony bf the heart/ which had been manifested through out the Convention, for the apiri of conciliation seen in all'its mern bera and in all proceedings; for ttu blessings which now crown tin nation, and especially for the Presi dent of the United (?rote?, so worth; of his situation and position. The Chair then, at, half-past 1: o'clock, put the question, and au non need that tho Convention stooi adjourned without day. The band played tho appropri?t air of "Home, Sweet Home." Cheers were given for Presiden Johnson and Senator Doolittle, am then the members and spectator gradually dispersed. At a meeting of the National Unto Executive Committee, a resolutio was adopted earnestly recommendin to the friends of peace, Union, libert and law, in each county of the State and territories, to hold mass nicotine for tho purpose of ratifying th action of the Convention and pr ovid means to place its proceedings in th hands of citizens of the Republic. WHAT TO DO wran rr.-Au ej chango says: A great many person are nt a loss to know how to dispos of ragged and mutilated currenc that accumulates on their hands. 3 Ls the easiest thing iu the world, an> without any expense. When you g< three dollars worth ou hand, put in a small package, pin a paper bau around it, with your name, poi office, and amount. Put it in an envi lop, and address it to the Treasury < the United States, Washington, I C. In a few days you will receive ne currency in return. It goes and r turns free of postage. 4 'SIGNIFICANT. "-The Washingtc Chronicle says: "Thc reconstructed rebels of Kc tucky have cheers for Presidei Johusou, Vallandigham and Lee, bi only hisses and groans for Grant ai Sherman. This is significant." Significant, says the Examiner, what? It is significant of a wi knowu principle of human natur and one that is most honorab to it. Men in tho midst of excit ment and passion bestow their n plause on nuccess; but when the fe? ings have subsided to their usu equability, the character uf tho inc vidualsand their ucts are subject? to a scrutiny that often makes n m decision necessary. Not only Kentucky, but throughout the ?uii and the world, Graut and Shermi will decline in estimation, wh President Johnson and Gen. L will be recognized in all their purit goodness and greatness. We a pend the following despatch: "LOUISVILLE, August 4.-At large Du vail meeting last night, tht cheers were heartily given for Ge Lee, after an extravagant eulogit on that officer by one of the ?pei era-"* The Times cf India, concludes a k>|gr. n^ielwjwn. the ft^nrf" prie* o? cM?on, tes ffro^t- ?? ?] *\ "5 ^Althou?h-Are ?hink;ri there is no. tfrobabait-y HT c#ton -?allilig to the1 'rate of priceg. before the war, until iii ' is Bebb wnSt free America can prodnoe, we have always urged that tho Indian cultivator must ultimately be pre? pared for competition with Iiis old rivals in tho Southern States. As the prices of commodities always tend to accommodate themselves to the cost of production, so the cost of raising cotton under tho new system in ? -America*, *w??f f-or'a'Tbng'lime deter? mine ; .10 price which the Indian cultivator will be likely to obtain. Tho delusion that negroes when freed will dbl'work industriously,, is one that is supported only by ignorance or prejudice. There have already been proofs afforded, in America, of their willingness tb work, and their power to produce more than under slavery. Tf their late masters do not, like the planters in Jamaica, endeavor to thwart the proper exercise of free labor, it is fairly to be expected that the American crop of 1867 will exceed the largest under slavery. It does not follow, even then, that the price of Indian cotton must be depressed to tho rates ruling in 185G. Thereat difference to 1>e looked for as regards the negroes is this--they wjlf expgct.and must get a higher rate of remuneration. They will probably do more work than under slavery, and they will do it better, but they will require to have spout on them afar larger amount of capital than before. Had it been otherwise, their masters would not 'havefought so tenaciously in defence of the great institution ; but the con? sumers of cotton will- have to pay port of the additional eost which free I labor will cause to enter into the i price of American cotton. ! Indian cotton eau be raised at a ' less cost, to the producer than any ' other in the world; the assessment of j thc laud is much below the real i value of tho soil, and the labor in j mere cotton production can generally be supplied wholly by the family of the ryot. In 1856, cotton was sold at Nagpore at l^d. per pound, and over 400,000 bales were exported from Bombay. This low price was, we believe, remunerative to the growers, but the yjearafterwards they obtained 2*><fd: on trie spot, and nearly a third more cotton was exported from the central provinces. In 1368, the price %t Nagpore,- had risen to 3,Vjd., but j that year TT pinch smaller quantity i was exported than in 1856, simply j because much of tho land required its j usual rotation of crops, the necessity I of which the "ignorant" ryot under I stands so well. These prices, even ! yet, would be remunerative to the I ryots in the best cotton districts; aud 1 if we compare them with the present j and probable pri?es in the Liverpool i market, it is evident there is likely to j be, for another season at least, a fait commercial profit on the chief ex? port trade of Bombay. But thc period for extravagant prices and wild speculation in cotton has pass j ed away; and when existing obliga i tiona are disposed of in some way, thc j new men who may step forward to take the place of ruined merck? ntt will probably take a more sober esti I mate of things than their immediate j predecessor have done. Reform In England. i - Tho latest steamer's now? iron ; England informs us that another groa ! demonstration hythe Reform Leagm ?-took place in London, on the even j ing of the 30th ult., and passed o? with great eclat, and without any dis turbance. The meeting was held n i the Agricultural Hall, at Islington, building capable of holding 20,00 people, and its capacity was tested t the utmost. j Owing to the immenso size of th j hall, and the impossibility of th < speakers making themselves heard ! tho meeting was divided into sec I tin ns, ->rid addresses were deli vere j simultaneously in different parts c tho building. Among the speakei were J. Stuart Mill, Col. Dicksor Mason Jones and others. Tho obj ec i of the meeting was declared to be t j falsify the'statements put forth b ! the Tories and Adullomites, that th people did not caro for reform. Th j conduct of the Government wa j strongly denounced, and the follow ing resolutions were unanimous] carried by acclamation : 1.
