Dix was chosen temporary chairman, and made a speech, al the conclusion of which a prayer was ma le; than commenced business. Various committees were appointed and resolutions passed all cut and dried; among the latter, one referring all resolutions and questions concerning credentials to the proper committees without debate. The first call for the convention was read, and then tbe Blair-Ran-dali-Campbell circular, inviting the I'emocrats, as such, was also read things looKed blue, but just then a storm was observed by Montgomo Ty BUvrto be coining trp, and h moved an adjournment, which was earned -this occurred just in time, for in a few minutes the whole in- ' terior of the wigwam was flooded.

A Bitter Sarcasm. The last JJarpers Wtelly contains what the Albany Journal calls the last sarcasm upon Dr. Craven's book that has -et appeared. It is designated by Nast, and represents "The contrast of suffering at Andersonville and Fortress Monroe. The first scene is in the Andersonvi'le prison, where the poor, famishing wretches, crouching in rag; and wretchedness, advertise the cruelty of the rebellion. One lies upon his back, just outside the "dead line," and a soldier is firing his musket at another, who has crept beyond the fatal barrier to clutch a piece of bone " A third almost ' naked and horribly guant, crouches over the body of dead comrade. At the gate the ambulance is passing out, filled with bodies', and jeering Confederates huddle around it. The other scene is at Fortress Monroe, and has for its motto the famous Presidential proclamation that "Treason must be made odious." The illustrious Jefferson reclines in an easy chair cushions under his head and slip pers upon his feet. One servant bears to him a tray with water, another a salver with cobblers, a third fans him industriously and the fourth bows low and holds forth a spittoon. Mrs. Davis leans over his chair; Mr. Craven is hanging upon the "words of his wonderful he ro; the geniaL Secretary of the Treasury stands near in pleasant conversation with Gen. Miles and in the dis'tance a'waiter is furnishing the table with luxuries 6el forth upon a bill of fare' which lies with other papers au l several" books, at the foot of Davis. The 'guards at the gate 'f walk upon tip toe an 1 a' sign is' erected: orj ; snprsons walking this war must put fuest! lIeasP?aer not 10 oturo onr - - j the matt-fur." r-.i

Straight lines belong Tgr mathematics, ot to morals. The attempt fc introduce j .m in the latte r usiallv fails! Ctreua, 1 . : , -4 ., ini i be wishes and rc judicee ofassooiatUn j - nd manr other considerations come ina account, and each roan must judge for injurious by worldly associations, w hich is very well as an abstract proposition, if by "worldly" they mean sinful." All smusements are worldly in the sense of having no direct connection with worship, and yet, in the latter view, amusements corneas truly under the control of religious motives as docs the work of life. But the Christian young men at Albany undertook to be specific, and to draw the line between wicked and Christain amusements. The- do not mention indeed, a single amusement which 'they consider right, but they prononrce emphatically, and without qualification against dancing and card and billard playing, as "distinctively worldly in their associations, uiipiritual in their influence and utterly inconsistent with tfie profession of Christianity." The epithet worldly here is conveniently vague, but we do not believe that one of the excellent young men who voted for this "euergetic testimony" can prove that dancing is more w orldly than calisthenics or Dio Lewis' gymnastics; that billards are less spiritual than ten pins; or that j cards are worse per se than chess, back- i gammon or any other game of chance j and skill. As spiritual and orthodox a preacher as we know is very fond of bilHards, and plays them well, and there is no evidence that his morals or pietr suffer thereby. Any game, innocent in itself, may be used for gambling. The gambling is to be condemned, but the game should not lose caste because'of the possibility of its abuse. This poss-1-' lility pertains to all things human, even the highest things, ami is not excluded from worship itself. What the Christian Association should endeavor to do iu this matter of amusements is to divorce them from corrupt- . ing associations. . If billiards are excluded from the looms of the Christian Associations, or from our dwellings, they 'arc pretty certain as a matter of fact, to be sought elsewhere, and to be found'in ' connection with temptation to vice. So , with dancing; excluded lrom its proper place in the family and private party, it seeks the ball room, where ''people meet indiscriminately, and late hours and late suppers ' endanger the health if not the morals. All efforts to exclude dancing have failed and will. It ha9 been a favorite recreation among nations from the ' beginning, and will De while the world stands. And with reason, for it is graceful exhileiating and every way delightful. The saints of the old dispensation placed so high an estimate upon it as to combine it with their acts of praise and thanksgiving. We are compelled to believe that the young men in convention st Albany pronounced upon amusements without much thought, though doubtless with a general Intention to do good and to erect barriers against vice and worldliness; but the line they have drawn does not stand the test of examination. There is positive wrong done to the 3'oung by proscribing amusements that are innocent, and to attempt to make a ein of what the conscience can find no evil in, in the name of religion, is to awaken prejudice against religion itself. Religion does not require ' the closing up of au' legitimate source of enjoymentrtghtfulty understood it enlarges and sanctifies all. A Wonderful Congressman- He Returns his Extra Pay. .

Absenteeism is a crying and grow- j ing evil. Half the Members are absent: half the time. When such absence is to- j tally w ithout excuse, they pretend to de- j duct SiJ per da' for it (which is about! nno-fourth what thc' have just voted a day's service to be worth); but this for- ; feit is rarely exacted. The absentee j pretends to have sickness in . his ftimiby, or makes (to himself) some other excuse for taking from the Tieasuty money which he has never earned, and to which he is not entitled by law. If Members choose to vote themselves a full 81.000 per month (over 40 per working d:iy) for their services, they ought to abolish the Franking Privilege dismiss three fourths of, their well paid satilities, and reduce the mileage to ten cents per mile by. the shortest mail route j But they make no show of dealing honestly with the public. Some of them will rue this before they get re-elected. The X. Y. Time tries to make John- ! i son capital out of this; matter, as follows: (r .; . -. "In all that concerns retrenchment. the i facts are iu favor of the Administration ! and against Congress. For whatever saving has been accomplished, the country ma3r thank the administration, i For resistance to further saving.und for psroceedings which eutual heavy additions to the loail of taxation and debt, the country is indebted exclusive to Congress. eA contrast so damaging and suggestive will attract the attention of the people in the .approaching campaign. , Al read, it engages the thoughts of some of those who, on the restoration question, are not adherents of the President; and, when the canvass becomes warm, many will be ' foundtlistrustiug and opposing the cause of Congress with almost exclusive reference to the question of retrenchment." ' ' 27, e Timet ignores the fact that the increase of pa3 to Congress was moved in the House b3' Mr. Niblack, and in the Senate 13T Mr. Riddle both vehement Copperheads and supporters of the President's policy. . If one single Copperhead or Johnson man earnestly opposed the iucf eae, the fact escaped us. The editor of Tie Times is an active member of the House; but we have not observed that he tried to defeat the increase of pay by resisting it on the floor or through the columns of his journal. If not, does it become him to throw stones? Say: does he forget that he was, at "the preceding Session, the prime mover in ere at?ng a Judicial district iti order to make a near friend a district juige for life, at a cost to the Treasury of at least 850,000 per annum? And does he not know that rnan3 thousands of dollars are annualljsquandered in supporting Missions and Consulates where none are needed, and where the3 may be" discontinued by the 1 resident at UlS discretion.'
