SptcUl Corntpomlenc* of th« Sentinel. Loriavir.i.K, October 15, 1869. The Commercial Convention was notin session yesterday morning, on account of the grand proresalon'taking place at that time. The greatest preparations hail been made for this affair, and nearly all the business firms and factories of Lonisvllle had been getting a display ready for days. The streets were lined with people at an early hour, and many of the stores being closed, the city presented a holiday appearance. The procession was to have moved about ten o'clock, but it was nearly twelve before it got fairly started. It was Indeed a grand affair. Itwascomposed of hundreds of wagons, gaily decked with colored streamers, flags, evergreens and flowers, representing ail the businesses ot the city. It was headed by two military companies and the police, followed by the Mayor, city officials, and the Italian Brotherhood. Then came one of the largest of the Louisville Transfer Company's omnibuses, drawn by ton horses and surmounted by a ternpip of liberty, in which sat the real live goddess. Inside were forty or more young ladies, representing the different States and Territories, and dressed in the appropriate ami ever-to-be admired red, white and blue. Tlio express companies and the tiro department followed, and then came the hundreds of wagons, on which different kinds of goods were shown, and different kinds of manufacturing operations carried on. The interest taken in the procession by tho business man of Louisville was very commendable. they sparing no expense to make it a complete success. Some of the Arms were very extensively represented. J. 8. Lilli go w A Co., for instance, had at*men wagons, containing their employes and tho articles made and sold by them. K. W. Merz, another founder, had seven four horse wagons, and there were many other establishments haring four or live wagons. Some of tho designs wore very handsome and expensive, and •nine were also \ory unic|iio. The Western Union Telegraph Company repro•ented its lines In a wagon over thirtylive feet long, drawn by eight splendid horses, the largest* wagon in the procession, and having a complete detail of its business, telegraph poles, lines, instruments, operators, book keepers, messengers, repairers, and messenger boys. Around the wagon was a cable, repressnted to bo connected telegraphically With Europe, Asia, Africa and America, showing in miniature the extent of this company's lines, whose offices in this pountry number over four thousand, besides Us connections in foreign parts. The Jeffersonville, Madison and Indi•nspolis Railroad was represented by a car thirty feet long, which was drawn by four gray horses. On the sides wore pictures of locomotives named I>. Ricketts and Horace Scott, to which were attached baggage, mall and throe palace cirs. Above these trains were represent a'iv.is of the fast freight lines working over the poad, tho People's Despatch, tho Merbhaut's Despatch, Star Union, White Line, National, Month Shore and Ran Handle Lines. This display attracted a great deal of attention, being universally pronounced one of tho host in the procession. Indiana had a place devoted to her use in the procession, which was creditably Ailed by New Albany and Jeffersonville, S* follows: .rKFKKRSONVir.T.K. The Ohio Falls Car Works, two buggies, one large box ear, one II i‘ car with car scats snd about four hundred operatives, on foot. Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis Railroad Company, lingo car, lour horses, representing on canvass long train of curs. Blythe, Myers A Co.,steamboat Joiners. JiKW ai.uanv. Tho New Albany Woden Mills, one wagon, loaded with splendid wimples. Wheeler A Wilson Sewing M iclitius. Ford, Austin A Co., edge tools; splendid display. Nsw Albany Bolling Mills; eight la'yd wagons loaded with railroad iron, live bars, from tlfry-cdght to sixty-fonr feet long. I. B. Friend, sash and hlirjd factory; one wagon with men at work. Ohio Falls iron Works, three wagons, containing pudlors, spikes, boiler rivets,

etc.

New Albany Steam Forgo, one wagon jjrlth samples of wrought iron work. W. N. Mahon A Co., of the Now Albany Glass Works, good display. N. J. James, brush factory. Singer’s Sewing Machines. Taken altogether tho procession was a magniticont success, and Louisville lias good cause to feel proud of It. It was tho jekturo of tho Convention, tho only thing Which so far bus amounted to anything, its length was about six miles, and tlio ilme occupied in passing a given point W*s about two hours.

^jet a few minutes after twelve, nolwithntamiing the mari hing of tho procession. JRresjiient billm.org is n man who among kis other old fasbionu notions, believes in that olciolete maxim about pjipituaiity being the sonl of business, or somoiMpg of that sorl. S!i.mpi a’ it may SMPnt , '.' 1 actually thought, that If tin* L ’ lUUeurned until twelve convention ban . ; . o’clock, It must lie calico ’*■' time, and there bo was at ifiA npp r, ' n ^ | minute, gavel in band, rapping tho fetv loud talking delegates and a solitary reporter, wlio happened to lie present, to order. A few more dropped in, and by hslf-past twelve a i|iioruin was thought to be present, and the great Koulliern

sldsrstloa. He wanted the report read before It waa referred. It waa Anally made plain that the report had bean read before he found out what It waa about. The Committee on Mississippi River Levees then reported at length and several gentleman gave their opinions on the subject, also at .length. The consideration of the report was then postponed until morning. The Committee on the Improvement of the Tennessee River then reported a memorial to Congress,which waa an interesting doenment, giving, by all odda, the moat valuable Information and snggeatlons which are likely to be advanced daring the Convention. It it meets with the attention It deserves, some practical beneAt will be derived from this meeting. This report gave facts and figures, having been prepared with great care and admitting ofno discussion or contravention. It was at once adopted, and will be presented to Congress at the next seaaien. The Convention, after dlaoasslpg miscellaneous subjects, and doing nothing, adjourned until this morning. AT SIOHT The hotels and places of amusement were crowded more than ever, hat a feeling of unrest was very apparent among the delegates. A great manv of them expressed disgust at the way business was being done, and quite a number packed.up their traps and left for their homes. Those especially who did not have the most comfortable accommodations, who bad been sleeping on the floor, in garrets and cellars, on the lower decks of cots snd any* where in fact,seemed to haye become tired and made a general scattering. The attendance this morning seems to be as great as ever though. The various reports will, I presume, be brought up and, perhaps, again postponed. The fact of the business is, the convention blocked out work enough to keep It busy for six months, under ordinary circumstances. But when the fact is taken into consideration that at least one-third of the delegates want to apeak two or three times on every stxbject and want to assist the President in governing the Convention, there does not seem much probability of ever getting done. They can’t all talk at once, an^ sotpe of tUfcui will have a say if they remain here the rest of their lives. The question as to what practical good will result from the meeting of the Convention is being considerably Haenssed, and the general opinion seems to be that beyond tho mfteting of delegates from various parts of the country and the making of acquaintances, but little benefit will be had. The Convention is, to say the least, an unwieldy body, and representing so many and such conflicting interests, has undertaken to do too much, ft reiptqijs one of the boy who set a hen upon sixty eggs, and when remonstrated with by his mother, who remarked that the hen couldn’t begin to cover them all, said: 'T know that, mother, but thunderation! I want to see her spread her-

self.”

the convention.

O. Standard, o! St. lawls, Chairman of the Committee «n River Navigation, Canals, and other Improvemsnta, submitted a lengthy and very able report.

•rial ‘ ”

wad for the manuflacture of cotton goods.

Adopted.

▲ portion of the majority report of the Committee on Padfle Railroad was read by the chairman, Mr. Lewis, of Alabama, when he waa Interrupted by a discussion in reference to certain amendments, and as to whether a minority report, which bad been prepared, should be read. General Sprague, of New York, epoke et considerable length in flavor of the Southern Pacific Railroad. He said, In the ceurae of hla remarks: This is the railroad which moat be bailt to unite our people. [Applauee.] It will be a bond that will bind the American people together with silver and golden bonds— which will nnite us In kindness and love. The report of the committee la full, voluminous, comprehensive, fall ot argument, statistics and historical facts, etc., The further reading of the report, after the Interruption, waa dispensed with. The minority report of the committee waa read hy Mr. W. S. McManus, of Pennsylvania. This report recommends the construction of a railroad commencing in the vicinity of Cairo and running westward on the thirty-fifth parallel. The majority report flavored the thirty-second

parallel line.

Then followed a lengthy and very able discussion in reference to the advantages

of one line over the other.

At last a vote was taken upon the motion to adopt the minority report as a substitute for the majority report. Re-

jected.

The announcement of the result of the vote was followed bv along and enthusiastic applause, and it was some time before good order was restored! The vote was at length reached upon the adoption of the majority report. The report was adopted, snd this was greeted with thundering applause. Phe report concludes with the following paragraph: And whilst we have shown the great advantages of the San Francisco snd New York route, the superiority Is still more signal via San Diego over this routs. It is nine hundred miles shorter from San Diego to Savannah than it is from San Francisco to New York. Both the passenger and goods traffic between Asia and Europe will be abbreviated by passing over the SI Paso route, economising ireights and fares, and ening the duration of the trips. Direct lines of steamers will sail from New Orleans, Mobile, Savannah, Charleston amk New York, to European ports, and we shall all grow rich upon the custom which seeks Southern cities, and there need not be rivalry or Jealousy between the railroads and cities of other sections, as there will be ample work for all, and the increaalug commerce will pour its auriferoqs streams into Southern and Northern

laps alike. There was

after tbs adoc

r iiimore iu biio vsiimir*

er some preliminary matters, the proceeded to call for the reports of Efferent committees. The most of

It is

to Congress, which

was prepared by a committee appointed

based upon a memo: was prepared by a

at the New Orleans snd Keokak Oonvenlions, and the memorial is given as a part of the report. The memorial is in reference to tho improvement of the Ohio, Misaissippi and Missouri rivers, and includea a recommendation of the passage of a bill now pending before Congress to uuthorl/.e the construction of bridges across the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri

rivers.

In connection with the report, Mr. Stanard read a letter from J. N. Macomb, Colonel of Engineers and Superintendent of United States snag boats and Western river improvements, in regard to his operations, which throws some Ught upon the subject of river improvomonts. After some slight objections, which were not sustained, the report of the committee

waf adopted,

the orucr of the day was postponed to hoar the reports of the standing oommitTiio Committee on Agriculture submitted their report, which was adopted The committee believes that the true, policy of the Government Is a general and .rotript relief Tom the unequal uxatlon imposed upon the cotton growing States, and urges Congress to repeal the act imposing a land tax upon the Southern States. They believe that the liberal policy of the Government toward agricul-

tural’interests is desirable,

ML Thomas M< Munroe, of Iowa, Chairman of the Committee on Continuous Water Line Communication between (lie Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi River, submitted a preamble and resolutions, which, with the omission of one objectionable paragraph, waa adopted. The report shows the importance of cheap and easy transportation between the Mississippi Valley and the Eastern and Southern portiorts of our own country as wejl as the markets of the wOrld That to meet this necessity a continuous water Hue is c|ep>«pde{] between the h||asisHippi and the seaDOard. That a 0*»naction of Lake Michigan with the Upper Mississippi, the completion of the Water line from the month of the Ohio to Hampton Roads, and the removal of obstructions to an easy and cheap outlet to the uu!f, hv way pf the Mississippi river,

will complete this system.

A system of poptptj water line is most important, as it parnUbea a healthful competition with both Northkrni and Moutbern routes, and not liable to interruption in time of foreign war; and it U not antegonlstlo to the railroad system

and the

friends of the

of oonfnsion

q of this report. The minority reiwrt com-

plained that they had not been heard. They wanted the minority report pub-

lished along with the majority.

A recess of ten minutes was taken in hopes,of having better order after-

wards.

The motion to take a recess waa carried. When the convention reassembled, a motion was made to reconsider the vote by which tbe majority report waa adopt-

ed. Laid on the table.

The Committee on Railroads Generally submitted their report. Thiw-report recommends the building of railroads leading from various parts of the West to tbe various gulf ports, as tbe proper outlets for Western agrlcaltaral ptoducts. It approves heartily of the policy adopted by many of the Southern railroad companies in affording cheap transportation to persons seeking homes in the Southern States. It favors the connection by rail ot tbe waters of the Paciiic ocean and the lakes by the Northern Paciiic route. The

rei>ort was adopted.

Mr. L imb, of Virginia, Chairman of the Committee on Direct Trade, submitted his report which was discussed at length, and finally adopted, thros or four voices dissenting. U favors tbe establishment of aleautsnip lines between Europe and the Southern ports, and bails with sallsfatlon the movement Inaugurated by Commander Janesori for direct trade with Norfolk, and requests Congress to modify tbe navigation laws so as to allow purchasol or foreign ships, and permit their transfer to American tonnage, and to abolish tbe tariff on ail ship builder’s material; recommends Congress to declare as ports of entry all such cities in tbe West and South, ms have a population of 15,000 and upwards. The report is acoom|Mtnied by a resolution,soliciting an appropriation by Congress to deepen the bay and harbor of Mobile, snd to re-

move all obstructions therein.

A letter was read from Isaac Watts, of

Manchester, England.

General Walbridge introduced the following resolution, which waa oordlallv received and passed unanimously: Resolved, That this convention heartily reciprocates the sentiment ot .cordiality expressed by the President of the United States for the success of the otject contemplated by this convention as conveyed jn his letter to this body, and we trust its deliberations will result in promoting brotherhood snd harmony between all citl/.ens of the United States. Resolved, That a committee of nine be appointed by tbe Chair to communicate with the President of tbe United States personally on the views of the Convention, as embodied in tho above resolution. Mr. Corwin, of Ohio, reported that tbe coimnlttM appointed to select the place of holding the next meeting of tbs Convention had selected Cincinnati m the place, and the first Tuesday in October, 1870, as the time of holding the next Convention. This report was adopted. A motion that the Convention adjourn sine die at eleven o’clock A. ¥. tc-morjow,

and Colonel Vernon pointed out the several scenes of conflict In which they were both engaged, the South Mountain i>eing of peculiar interest to the President and General Sherman, who made many inquiries concerning the hostilities at that point. General Sherman, with several other gentlemen, passed over a portion of the ground on foot, while the horses were resting, in order to get a better understanding of the events and movements of

that day.

Secretary Cox was a General in Hie Army of .he Potomac, and assumed coma-, mand of the Ninth Corps after General. Reno was killed at Sonth Mountain. At Middletown large crowds surrounded the open carriage of the Preeident, greeting him with cheers, and not forgetting Sherman in their welcome. Miniature flags and handkerchiefis were waved by the ladies, and the bells ot the villags rang. A reception equally enthusiastic was given at Boons boro, and also at Keedysvllle. The party arrived at the Antietam cemetery at half past two o’clock, where a large crowd of the residents of

the vicinity were in waiting.

Judge Weiaell, of Hagerstown, received the President in a brief address, in which he spoke of the eminent service tbe President had rendered tbe conntry and of the graves of the dead who fell in defense of tbe Union. He concluded hla speech by saying he bad been instructed by tbe citizens of Hagerstown to invite the President and party to visit that county seat. Tbe President returned his thanks, and said he had been highly gratified with his visit to Western Maryland, bnt aa they bad to take the cars at half-past three o’clock they would not have time to visit

Hagerstown.

General Sherman, Secretary Cox, and Postmaster Creswell, were then severally introduced to the crowd. Cheers were given for the President and General Sherman. A number of ladies and children crowded into the presence of these gentlemen, and engaged In hand shaking which evidently afforded much pleasure. The little children equally enjeyed the kisses of the President. After a survey of the grounds, the party re-entered their carriages on their return to Keedysville, when cheers were spontaneously given for the President and Generals Sherman

and Cox.

A special train was in waiting at Keedysville, several miles from tbe cemetery, which brought tbe party to WashMgton, where they arrived at nine o’clock tonight. The people of Frederick and elsewhere in western Maryland profusely extended their hospitalities, and the party express their pleasure at the manner of their reception. NEW^YORK.

ARGUMENT IN TH K YBH*; EK CAM; BEFORE

THE SUPREME COURT. Washinuton, Octolier 15.

In the Supreme Court to-day the argu-

ment in the Yergercaae was commenced by Attorney General Hoar. He argued at lengili that in order to bring a .-are under tbe appellate jurisdiction of this court, in the sense requisite to enable it to a ward a writ of habeas corpus under tbe judiciary act, it is necessary that the commitment should appear to have l)een made by a tribunal whose de/isions afj subject to revision by this ‘ibis court haa never gran;t>4 tula writ when the prisoner was not at the time he petitioned for it in eufiSnement tinder an order of a court whose proceedings can be revised by the Supreme Court. This court van pot exercise any appellate control by appeal on writ of error, or any other proceedings over the military comtuisaiou by virtue of whose sentence the prisoner is imprisoned, nor haa this court power in any form or any procedure, to revise the proceedings of that commission. In the case of the petitioner, the addressing of a writ of habeas corpus to the military commander in Mississioo*. 'no an exercise of original appellate jurisdiction of thejury. The commander holds thpcqnitntsqioner, under any orfler or decree of the Circuit Court, bnt by military authority, and should discharge the prisoner at his pleasure, notwithstanding the action of the Clrcolt Court. Tho habeas corpus issued with tbe certorairi as an adjunct of the appellate power, is only permitted where tbe custody of tbe prisoner is an essential part of the judgment or decree from which the appealls taken. The repeal by Congress of so much of tho act of February 6, 1867, as granted appellate power to this court in cases of this nature waa intended, and should be construed as taking away not the whole appellate power in cases of habeas corpus, but the appellate power in cases to which that act applied. Finally, the act of 1867, providing for a military government in Mississippi, necessarily suspended the writ of habeas corpus in that State, wkioh jt tyas ifUbip tlje plear ooqatUu-

tional authority of Congress to do. Mr. J.~M. CarUIe replied, He said that

•g a oitloen he confessed that there was a means of determining what Congress might have Intended tv do. but n was

uttficdlt to tell when Congress

bed come into court and seized upon a

e of spbindloe and Qtraogled what it have Deep the (ntentlon; but aa wyer it waa easy to say what Cona really had done by applying the

ordinary rules of interpretation, and by ■uch means he fonnd that Congress by an sot of 1868 repealed only the statute of 1867, which had given a special jurisdiction before the existence of tbe fourteenth Motion of the Jndloary aol, apd unMfepfpd hjtfiP repoalihg actof 1868, And w W*» under the provudoneof that sectl0Q that this proceeding waa InatUnted, •o<t not under tbe act of 1867 as contended by tbe Attorney General. He had not heard an argument which nad in tbe Itsat shown that this Court waa without jorlsdlptlon UDd«r the Judiciary act, and *>« would be inexcusable In drtayiug the Court in instating npon a jurisdiction which It had reiterated and reaffirmed,

THE INSURRECTION IN 8PAIN. Nrw York, October 15. The Herald’s special, dated Valencia, October 14, says: The government iff making still more vigorons efforts for the suppression of tbe Republican insurgents.

Pabis, October 15. The Emperor’s health ta satisfactory. Yesterday he went out hunting. A strike of the coachmen and merchants’ clerks, is imminent. COURSE OF GOVEBNMENN TO POLITICAL PRISONERS. London, October 15. Daniel O’Donabue, member of Parliament tram Kerr&trade, writes to the Dublin Amnesty Committee on the coarse of the Government toward political prisoners. He states the Government, collectively and individually, commiserate the Fenian prisoners, and are anxious to liberate them, if it can be done constatentlv with the duty to the State, bat it ta convinced that the Government can not, without degrading its functions and betraying Its trast, yield anything to the faintest -semblance of unconaiitationxl pressure. GREAT FIRE. Gl*’ soow, October 15—Noon. A great fire is raging in tbe Vulcan Oil Works, and the Eagle Iron Works are also burning. 'The loss will be very heavy. _____ THR CUBAN QUESTION. Maokid, October 15. Rumors are abroad t.bftt the Emperor Napoleon intends to estab.’tab a corps of observation on the frontier^ which causes mnch excitement. • Duyng the debates in the .Cortes yesterday, on the resolution th*U>king the defenders of Spanish authority \ u Cuba, General Prim declared the home government only awaited a favorable- res nit in the conflict there to accord all the reh’ rlu9 and liberties required by the colony. Negotiations with the rebels at YaldU 1cia are progressing. A brief delay baa been granted and a certain time fixed in which they may submit, and receive full pardon: but should they hold out after the time has expired, their lives will be forfeited. Pruneda has been arrested on a charge of engaging iu the conspiracy to provoke an insurrection in Saragossa. THE SITUATION IN FRANCE. London, October 15. The ship Sir Launcelot, which sailed from Foo Chow, China, July 18, with a cargo of tea, has arrived in tbe Thames, amt is winner of the race for tev ships. The Times to-day, in commenting on the situation in France, says: The jealous and inconsistent policy which would allow and forbid public meetings at tbe same time exceeds our comprehension. To permit citizens to assemble, and leave it to the police to stop discussion, is adding insult to injury. The profession of confidence made bv the Government is denied by its acts. If anything is likely to be fatal to France and to the dynasty of Us ruler, it is the perpetual distrust of the capabilities of the nation for self control, and the never ending dallying with the institutions, to invest tho people with responsibility for their own deeds, which would interest lovers of freedom in the cause of order, and give to public opinion that sound and wholesome ascendancy which would drive ribaldry and license from the field. France has, at the present moment, no government. The Emperor’s message to the Corps I^egislatif placed her between the old imperialism and the new constitutional rule which he has announced, hut is unable or unwilling to define. In the interval, the people give the Emperor’s word too broad an interpretion, while he is ns confident as if the words had never been spoken; os if no change had occurred, ana none intended, as if his personal rule were now and might be expected to be for ever what it has been in the worst times. WATERS OF THE NILE. Alexandria, Egypt, October 15. Tbe waters ot tbe Nile are subsiding, and there ta no longer any apprehension of serion.s damage to cotton. The losses by tbe flood will not exceed, in the aggregate, five hundred bales. A dam on the Suez canal broke, but did no great barm to the works, though a large quantity of material was destroyed. It is feared that the channel will have to be deepened before it ean be of any practical use. INVESTIGATION OF CONDUCT OF REPUBLICAN DEPUTIES. Madrid, October 15. The special committee appointed by the Cortez to investigate the conduct of the Republican Deputies, in their report recommend the arrest of General Perriod by the Government, for his seditious action at Torrago. Three Republican papers, published in Madrid, have been suspended, and two others are under prosecution. Hevernl citizens prominent iu the Republican party have been arrested here. A profession from bishops, praying that the insurgents of Valentia may be allowed to capitulate, was refused. More fighting is reported in Catalonia and (ireuaia, in which the Government troops were victorious. It is calculated that there are 20,000 armed insurgents in the field. REDUCTION OF ARMY. Lisbon, October 15. It is said a measure providing for the reduction of the army will be proposed at the next session ot tbe Cortes. THE OBJECTS OF THE ECUMENICAL COUN-

CIL.

Rome, October 15. The Civtlita Catholics says the Bishops have been summoned to the Concil, not to deliberate on and decide questions by the vote of tho majority, but to ratify decisions already resolved upon by the*sovereign and infallible pontifics.

VIRGINIA.

SPEECH OF GOVERNOR WALKER AT DANVILLE FAIR. Richmond, October 15. A telegram to the Dispatch says Gov ernor Walker made an address to-day, on the fair grounds at Danville. In the political portion of his address he said he felt nothing bat pity for the opposition in the late canvaas, who were led by a set of cormorants and carpet-baggers who had nothing at stake hot their own selfish interest. He rejoioed that the election settled the fact that Virginia was hereafter to lie ruled on principles of right and justice, and civil and political equality. What she now needs is plenty of honest, Industriona and intelligent laborers, no matter from what aovirce they come. He appealed tq the young men of Virginia not to forsake the State, and not to forsake the plow and fly to the large cities of the North, where vice and demoralization awaited them. Judge Rye, .State Treasum, followed in the same spirit as "ic Governor.

“TIE FIERI FURNACE,” For Bftrnlng Soft < eml.

The principle of slow combustion upon which it works being directly opposed to the old fashioned method, by which modern furnaces consnme their fuel and themselves, had to contend both with the preiudices of the public, and the malicious misrepresentation of interested dealers in the existing heaters Happily, the contest was short, sharp and decisive, and the verdict on every side is, that “The Fiery Furnace” is the only neater which can give—evenness of temperature, purity of warmth—with cleanliness. economy, and a complete absence of all trouble in attending it. The fire can be perfectly controlled and kept through an entire season without rekindling, by replenishing the fuel and shaking down the ashes unco in twenty-foor hours.
