The implied purpose of said church being the edifying in love and perfection of the Christian character, with application to the occasion. The edifice was-crowded in every part, and wrapt attention given to the services. The names of Drs. Ellis and Hill are prominently mentioned in connection with the election of a new

NEW ORLEANS.
SPEECH FROM HORACE QREELBY. NEW ORLEANS, May 18.—The American Club entertained Horace Greeley last night. Mr. Greeley made a speech, in which he said: "This is my hrst visit South. I came here with a heart devoted to the good of all people. They are not my enemies who were six or eight years ago. I bear hatred to no one. I believe the best men should occupy the best places, without any reference to bygones, for the peril which necessitated exclusion of some men from the ballot box no longer exists.*' He opposed disfranchisement, as no longer a necessity, and said there would not be a Ku Klux in the land now if there had been a general amnesty five years ago. It would have united the people and healed wounds produced by the war. For that he had struggled, and the time was not far distant when every American woukt l^ave his fair chance at the ballot box and the majority would rule.

REPORT.
It is reported that Versailles troops carried the Muette gate of Paris by storm. THE EXPLOSION.

BROADWAY.
A. T. Stewart on behalf of commissioners of estimates and assessments in the matter of widening Broadway, announced yesterday that the board would hold no more open sittings at present. He said they haa been in session three days, without seeing property owners. They had not been met handsomely in this matter, and could not afford to waste any more time- Geo. W. Pell protested against this premature closing of the session, as the board had advertised that its sitttngs would last ten days, and many property owners were still consulting their counsel, before putting in an appearance. Stewart, however, declared the meeting adjourned without day.
FROM SCRANTON.
A Scranton special says, the convention of delegates representing the miners of the three corporations, met yesterday. After two stormy sessions no definite action was taken. It is tacitly understood that the miners of the Delaware, Lackawana & Western Company are at liberty to act as they think proper, and the intention was to have a general region meeting to-morrow, but owing to the intense excitement consequent on the murder, it mpy be postponed a few days. It is not to be expected that the Briggs shaft will be in operation to-day. If the experiment is renewed an attack is predicted.
RULOFF.
A special dispatch from Binghampton says, that as further evidence that Ruloff denied that any confession has been made by him, it may be stated that Root, Sheriff of Tompkins, was to have the confession, for which Ruloff demanded five hundred dollars payable to his brother, but he would make it only by consent of that person. That consent was asked, but Ruloff answered that he would rather pay ten thousand dollars then receive a single dollar on any such condition, and positively refused to consent. This answer was reported to Ruloff,: and he has not yet told Root anything. That gentleman was in his cell at 12:30 this morning, but Ruloff never opened his lips concerning his past misdeeds. He for a moment seemed about to talk, saying, things about here will be all hurly burly to-morrow, and I had better do all my talking to night, but after a few rambling remarks of no consequence, he turned to his dictionaries and renewed his philological labors. His general demeanor is yet unchanged.
FOREIGN DISPATCHES.
A special correspondent telegraphed from Paris last evening that on Tuesday night the police authorities of Hotel De Ville, with a guard of franc tirreurs, descended upon Peters' American restaurant, on the Boulevard, and arrested 150 men and women who were there supping luxuriously. The offense was that their extravagance was not in keeping with the times. Among those arrested were several superior officers of the Commune, whom, it had been determined to punish for neglecting duty for pleasure. The statement that a civil commission is to accompany each army of the Commune, is confirmed. That is for the purpose of preventing military dictatorship, which the Commune fears will end in the return of the Imperial dynasty of Napoleon to the throne. Shells are falling over all parts of the city. Great fear is manifested by Communist authorities of a revolutionary attack upon Hotel De Ville, and the guards around that building have been doubted. A reactionary movement is imminent, and it is believed that the explosion formed part of the conspiracy against the commune.
A special from Versailles say*, last night a large body of insurgents advanced from their works in frontof the ramparts ol Paris, and attempted to surprise the government forces at Neuilly. They were promptly met by the troops, who were fully aware of their approach, and after a sharp struggle were routed by a bayonet charge, and driven back to Pari3, leaving behind many of their number dead and wounded. The destruction of the Column Vendome by the communists of Paris,causes great indignation in military circles here, and is regarded by the soldiers as a insult to the army.
A dispatch from Berlin last night says, there was stormy discussion in the German Reichstag to day, on the right of members to inquire into the acts of the government. Liberals were vehement in demanding this right. This is the first conflict between the German Parliament and the government since the Reichstag met in session. Southern numbers were exceedingly suspicoius, and spoke their minds plainly and with 'energy. The Reichstag sits for three weeks. There will be no Whitsuentide holidays.
THE EVANS CASE. ,1/
In the General Ser ions Court this morning, the grand jury in the case of the notorious Doctor. Evans, rendered a verdict of assault on Ann O'Neal and attempted manslaughter in the second degree. District Attorney Sullivan called for the full penalty on Evans, a* a man who for years has led a life ui infamous criminality. Judge Bedford expressed his astonishment at twelve men, supposed to be intelligent, remaining out all night after such clear evidence. From eight years' experience in that court he believed Evans the most consummate villain that was ever convicted there. He hoped all professional abortionists would take notice that neither their ill gotten gains or alleged great influence, would avail them in that court. His Honor then sentenced Evans to three years and six months in the State prison with hard labor, full penalty.
SPECIAL TO THE AVORLD.
PARIS, May 18.—Marshal McMahon has called on the German army to aid him, and the German engineer is now throwing a bridge over the Seine to facilitate Versailles and German armies. A decisive attack will come from the east, and the Germans and French, will act together.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. I DAYTON, May 18.—The Montgomery County Convention met to-day, fifty-one persons present, including half a dozen curious Republicans. Delegates to the State Convention were appointed. Vallandigham, from the committee on resolutions, reported a new Democratic departure platform, intended for the ground work of the National platform, which accepts the Republican situation and apol ogizes for Democratic delinquencies. Vallandigbam supplemented the platform with a carefully written speech. The resolutions are as follows, prepared by himself:
WHEREAS, The Democratic party of 1871 is made up of men who, previous to and during the late war, as also for a time since, entertained totally different opinions, supported totally opposite measures as to the questions and issues of those times and
WHEREAS, It is reasonable to assume that these same men still entertain to a large extent their several opinions, and would, if in like circumstances, support again substantially the same measures and
WHEREAS, A rational toleration among men resolved to unite in a present common purpose, does not require a surrender in any particular of former opinions, as to measures heretofore supported,
Resolved, by the Democracy of Montgomery county, first, that agreeing to disagree in all respects as to the past, we cordially unite upon the livicg issues of the day, and hereby invite all men of the Republican party who believe now upon present issues as wfe believe, to co-operate fully and actively with us on the basis of perfect equality, with every member of the Democratic party.
Second—That waiving all differences of opinion as to the extraordinary means by which they were brought about, we accept the natural and legitimate results of the war, so far as waged for its ostensible purpose to maintain the Uuion and the constitutional rights and powers of the federal government, including the three several amendments de fncto to the Constitution recently declare'I adopted as a settlement In fact of all tl issues of the "war, and acquiesce in the same as no longer issues before the country.
Third—That thus burying out of sight all that is of the dead past, namely, the right of secession, slavery inequality before the law, and political inequality, and further, now that reconstruction is complete and representation within the Union restored to all the States, waiving all questions as to the means by which .it was accomplished, we demand that the vital and long established rule of strict construction as proclaimed by the Democratic fathers, accepted by statesmen of all parties previous to the war, and embodied in the tenth amendment to the Constitution, be vigorously applied to the Constitution as it is, including the three recent amendments above referred to, and insist that these amendments shall not be held to have in any respect altered or modified the original theory and character of the federal government, as designed and taught by its founders, and repeatedly in early times, in latter times, and at all times affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, but only to have enlarged the powers delegated to it, and to that extent and no more to have abridged the reserved rights of the States, and that as ihuc construed according to these ancient and well established rules, the Democratic party pledges itself to full, faithful and absolute exclusion and enforcement of the Constitution as it now is, so a3 to secure equal rights to all persons under it without distinction of race color or condition.
Fourth—That the absolute equality of each and every State within the Union, is a fundamental principle of the Federal Government, and that no department of that Government has power to expel a State from the Union, or to deprive it under any pretext whatever, of its equal rignts therein, including especially the right of full and complete representation in Congress, and in the electoral col-
Fifth—That we will always cherish and uphold the American system of State and local self-government for State and lecal purposes, and a general government for general purposes only, and are unalterably opposed to all attempts at centralization and consolidation of power in the hands of the General Government, and more especially when such attempts are in the form of usurpation by any department of that Government and further, that we adhere firmly to the principle of maintaining a perfect independence between the co-ordinate departments of that Government and the legislative, the executive, and the judicial, condemning all encroachments by one upon the functions of others.
Sixth—That outside of fundamental law, all legislation is in its nature and purposes temporary, and subject to change or modification or repeal, at the will of a majority of the people expressed through the law-making power, and that the pretence that any act of Congress executed and spent, or any legislative policy of a party, is an absolute finality, is totatly inconsistent with the whole theory of Republican government, and that it is the unquestionable right of the people of themselves, and through their representatives, at each successive election, and in each successive Congress, to judge of what legislation is necessary and proper or appropriate, to carry into execution or enforce the constitutional powers, rights and duties of the federal government.
Seventh—That as an instance of eminently appropriate legislation under the 14th amendment, in the name of wisdom, justice and Republican government, and to secure universal political rights and equality among both tho white and colored people of the United States, to the end that we may have peace at last, we call now as well on behalf of the North as the South, upon Congress for universal amnesty. r.
Eighth—That we kre in favor of the payment of the public debt at the earliest practicable moment consistent with moderate taxation, and the more effectually to secure and hasten payment, we demand the strictest honesty and economy in every part of the administration of the government.
Ninth—That we are in favor of such revenue reform as will greatly simplify the manner of and reduce the number of officers engaged in collecting and disbursing revenue, and largely diminish the now enormous expense to the government, and annoyance and vexation to the people attending the same and further, will make the burdens of taxation equal, uniform and just, and no greater than the necessities of the government economically administered shall require.
Tenth—That we are in favor of a searching and adequate reform in the civil service of the government, so as to secure faithfulness, honesty and efficiency in all its branches, and in every officer and appointee connected with it.
Eleventh—That we are in favor of a strictly revenue tariff, conformed to the
& 2
theory and principles of all other just and wise tax laws. Twelfth—That all taxation ought to be based on wealth instead of population and that every person should be required! to contribute to the support of the government in proportion to the amount, and not with reference to the character of his property.
Thirteenth—That specie is the basis of all sound currency, and that true policy requires as speedy a return to that basis as is practicable, without distress to the debtor classes of the people.
Fourteenth—That there is no necesssrv or irrepressible conflict between labor and capital, or consolidated wealth. That capital is entitled to the just and equal protection of the laws, and that all men, whether acting individually or in a corporate capacity, have the right by fair and honest means, and not for the purpose of wrong or oppression, to so use their property as to increase and consolidate it to the utmost extent within their power. But conceding all this, we declare our cordial sympathy and co-oper-ation with the producers and working men of the country, who make and move all capital, and who only seek by just and necessary means to protect themselves again3t the oppressive exactions of capital, and to ameliorate their condttion and dignify their calling.
Fifteenth—That we are totally and resolutely opposed to the grant of any more of the public lands, the common property of the people of the States, to corporations for railroad er other purposes, holding that these lands ought to be devoted as homesteads to actual settlers, or sold in small quantities to individuals at a price so low as to induce speedy oocupation and settlement.
Sixteenth—That holding still to the good old Democratic doctrine of annexation, or acquisition of territory, we are yet totally opposed to the scheme of President Grant to acquire San Domingo, as a job, aud by means and for purposes evidently intended, and accept the issue he has tendered in his late message submitting the subject to decision of the people.
Seventeenth—That the act commonly called the Bayonet Bill, recently passed by Congress, amendatory to the act of May 31st, 1870, and supplementary to the ac' nf July 14th, 1870, intended and so enri -ived as to interfere with and prac iiMlly subvert free popular elections in all the States, subjecting them to absolute control through military power, whenever called forth by the President and Commander-in-Chief for the time being, of the land and naval forces of the United States, and the more recent act of Congress commonly called the KuKlux bill, extending by its terms to every State, intermeddling with exclusively local concerns of every State, authorizing the President upon existence of a condition of things to be ascertained and determined by himself, and in the exercisv of his sole judgment to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in time of peace, and to march the standing army into any State, and declare martial law therein at his own mere will and pleasure, thus subverting the entire civil power, legislative, executive and judicial of such State, destroying the freedom of speech, of the press, and the peaceable assembling of the people, and the subjecting of every person therein to military arrest, trial and execution, were executed for no other purpose than to complete the centralization of all power in the hands of the general government, establish a military despotism, and thus perpetuate the present administration, without regard to the will of the people, and are not only thoroughly inconsistent with the whole theory and character of the federal government, and revolutionary and dangerous in their nature, but in direct conflict with the spirit and letter of the Constitution, including the amendments which they pretend to enforce.
Eighteenth—That the Radical party of 1871, as now constituted, is not the Re publican party of the period previous to the war, nor the so-called Union party during the war, and is in no respect entitled to beg the public confidence as such that it is now only an administration or Grant party, dating back to March 4th, 1869, and to be judged by its record since, and that upon that record totally hostile to the doctrines and policies herein maintained, and wholly committed to the policies and doctrines herein denounced. It deserves the emphatic condemnation of the people.
In reporting the resolutions from the committee, Mr. Vallandigham said, these resolutions, Mr. President, sufficiently explain themselves. The principles and policies which they enunciate require the honest censure of those only whose hostility is sincere. Carping criticism we both expect and condemn. For more than two years past the bitter and bloody passions of the war have been gradually, but steadily and surely dying out. Continual and irreconcilable dissent upon the new issues necesserilv born of to-day, and even bitter personal discord among men of the Republican party who had stood together on questions of the past, inevitably followed. The Democratic party wisely remained silent, or confined itself to these new issues. The Republican party having fnlfilled its original mission, was rapidly falling into decay. Moderation, justice and peace were beckoning to its more violent leaders the sentence of death. The administration party, into which since the fourth of March 1869, it has been wholly transferred,'had been from causes thoroughly understood to be odious, and even intolerable to the people upon the issue of amnesty, of honesty, in the legislative and executive departments of the tariff, of the revenue and civil service reform, of land grants to corporations, the currency, taxation, San Domingo and other similar questions it was certain to be condemned. Necessity required that some decisive movement should be made to avert impending defeat. Not the statesmen but the mere politicians, the sycophants of the party, the parasites clinging to and deriving nurture solely from executive favor, were called into council.*These bourbons of the present hour, the men who forget nothing, learn nothing, resolved upon one more appeal to the expiring passions and prejudices of their partisans, the war cries of the past.
On motion of Mr. Thompson, the resolutions were adopted by acclamation. The Convention then adjourned.
