The immediate results of the .meet ing at Fortress Monroe will be & con centration of effort to impress CoDgress with the needs of this section, and to secure a practical and feasible employ ment of government aid in sepuring o.ilities. which will ILUlUTVU - " i stimulate commercial and business re lations at various points.

It was wise and proper that this branch of the subject did not enter into the deliberations of the convention, for the competing lines would have been arrayed against each other in such a manner as to prevent harmony and produce discord.

Grand Royal Hotel 1 sixsra .p-pieiie-t Mh.ah;' June 28 1877. THE POSTAL CONVENTION. This body, which concluded it labors at Fortress Monroe, on Thursday of last week, was significant, in that it was r.omnosed of three hundred dele gates, business men from most of the Southern cities, who assembled to adopt a line of policy, having for its . object the securing of better service of the mails throughout the Southern States. While the convention possessed no legal authority, its influence through a memorial to Congress will ( undoubt edly be considerable upon that body. There is, however, no doubt that with the conclusion of the labors of the convention the work 6f the members composing it, and the communities they represented, has only begun. Every man of influence throughout the South must unite in urging j upon our members of Congress the importance of the recommendations made by the convention. The ' convention wisely abstained from declaring over which route the fast mail asked for should be , carried ; and we are therefore able to go before Congress, asking simply in creased mail facilities, leaving the claims of rival companies to be settled after. , the appropriations shall have been jnade, in such manner as shall bf the pea The Recent Decision in Bankruptcy Cases. The recent decision of the Su preme Court of the United States in bankruptcy cases, mentioned in the Observer about two weeks ago, has attracted unusual attention. The points that were decided are : 1. That when property was settled by a hus band upon his wife in contemplation nf Wnlrrnntev. and the wife afterward sold it to a third person who had no tice of the fraud, the assignee of the husband could follow the property in the hands of the purchaser. 2. Tbat when money which a marreid woman was entitled to have secured to her own use was suffered to remain in the husbands' business, and to be used by him, mixed with his own funds, and applied to the purchase of real estate ia his own name, the husband could AVft of bankruptcy make a UV VU. valid conveyance of such property to his wife. Such a conveyance n ad judged to be in fraud of the rights of the creditor. best subserve the interests pie of the entire South. 4 The Southern States now; have thirty two Senators, and one hundred and ten members of the House, and these representatives must be made to un derstand that we demand their earnest and undivided support for such appro priations as will be needed to put our section of - the Union on an equality with other sections, and that those who are most earnest and efficient in advancing the material interests of the .touth, as far as it can bo done by gov ernmental action, are the' men who will be honored and advanced in of fice in future. , , It was stated publicly by; Mr Hbb " bard,: chairman of the postal commis - sion, to the delegates assembled in con JLyention, that the Southern States toi day had only eighty per cent, of the . mail facilities which they enjoyed be- m fore the war, while the mail A Sensible Soggestion. The New York World sensibly suggests that in these days of excitment and shrinkage of real estate and all values, it would be wellor the press to move slow and for the public to be cautious in acs cepting all the 'sensational stories about the mismanagement of moneyed institutions. It is no time to be fling ing firebrands about 'when the very air is so strongly impregnated with spontaneous combustion. Cost of Riots. It is, worth -while to inquire what the draft riots of 1863 co3t the city of New York in money paid for private buildings burned or gutted and valuables destroyed. The total amount, as shown by official figures of the comptroller's office, was not less than $1,748,456 39. A far larger sum of losses came out of business men in the injury to trade during; those days of chaos, but this one loss rested upon the tax-payers alone.-' - - 2 lu "Pittsburgh is dead as to all trade," is,the confession of one of the news papers of that city, and it continues: "From the huckster in the market to the head of our largest iron firms the experience of the effects of the trouble is identical. Manufacturers suffer par ticularly from want of fuel as well as from , the imposibility of getting rid of manufactured gobds." An, acknow ledgment which shows, Jthe - disastrous effects of the late riot upon that hither to prosperous city. r j 3 jthrougnouttne iJorthep States had r beWincreased-three hundred per cent. It ia further known that the people of the Southern States comprise one third of all the people of the United . States, and taht they pay oyer one half of the taxes to support the government. I We published an official statement some weeks ago showing that the peo- ;ple of the State of North Carolina, had ' paid nearly twenty millions of dollars ' into-the Federal Treasury since 1865, and that daring that time only a Rttle over a million dollars-for one dollar in According to the crop reports re ceived at .the agricultural department at Washington, the yieldof-wheat will reach 325,000,000 Bushels. This is service 50,000,0001 bush els In xces of the crop of last year and Willi leave a surplus in the country -of i,O00000 bushels for export. ; ' , - 1 bade- adieu to old Rome on the 9.ftth in at., and set out for Florence. In making this journey I went up the yellow Tiber for a distance of fifty to one hundred miles, passing by the beautiful and very famous lake Trasy mene at the foot of the . Apinines: This lake, as you know, is celebrated in history as being- the place where Hannibal gained such a decided victory over the Komans unaer naiuiuius B C 217, On a piece further we strike the river Amp, wnicn we iuuuw uuw o reach Florence which is pleasantly situated on the Amo in the middle of a basin celebrated for its beauty and the perfection of its scenery. Florence is, I think, a very pretty city. It is as truly "the flower of all cities" as it is "the city of all flowers . Its public gardens cannot be far ex ceeded anywhere, not even by the famous Bo is du Bologne or rans. The chief point of attraction here however, is the picture galleries, the Pitti and Uffizzi, as they are called, mK nnntnin some of the unest specimens of sculpture and painting to be found any where in Italy. It also has one or two very nice churches, the Cathedral and the Santa Croce, in the latter of which rest the remains of the distingui8nea : cnaracierB, Galileo, Michael Angelo, Michiavelli andAlferi. . '- In all Italy, M. Angdo is the great man, and especially is he so in Florence. He designed everything. There seems to have been nothing done in his day with which he or his pupils didn't have something to do, and I don't wonder at Mark Twain saying that in Italy it seemed as if "God made the earth out of designs by Michael Angelo." In Florence you KpromP ahout as tired of seeing the name Michael Angelo as you do m Rome of the name Pius IV P. M. After two days spent very pleasantly here, I departed thence for the glorious old city ofVenice, on the 23d. But before I can reach that city I have to cross the towering old Apinines, the backbone of Italy, which 1 nave been iouowing iur ume uia tance. In doing this I have choice of two routes, one by "diligence," the old route, the other by railway, tne new and preferable route via the Collina Pass. This route I choose and as I wind around the hills and through the tunnels I was perfectly charmed nnri Hp.Ho'hted. More beautiful, more romantic, more sublime, and more magnificent scenery we have not had the pleasure of seeing anywhere. Thought I would go into ecstacies over it. (I still survive, however,) and on mv arrival at Venice what a curious spectacle is presented to my view! Venice with its grand old nalaces, buildings and spires rising out of the water j xnia uemg sumciuiug new, of course I wa s highly inter ested here. Being used to an immense number of carriages and horses in the other cities and then going here where I see not one, would it naturally inter est me? Carriages and horses on streets of water would be useless; so the place is supplied by the gloomy iook- covered boat that's common here, rowed by two rowers, each called gondoliers." The great Charles Dick ens has said that he felt it an "impos sibility to tell what Venice is." This being the case, what shall I do ? It was once, as you know, a great commercial city and boasted ot its fleets; but it has lost tne glory ana commercial importance it once enjoy ed, when it boasted of twenty-four ships of the line and two hundred armed galleys. Many of her principal palaces are deserted or converted into hotels. Thn rrrp.At cvnosure of attraction now ;a fho Snnare of S. Marco, or St. Mark (the patron saint) which is surrounded by St. Mark's Cathedral with the Cam panile town, and other magnificent edifices all of which are valuable as historical monuments of the rise and progress of the fine arts from the tenth century to the present day. Last Sunday night I walked out trom my notei to mis square auu what a scene of bustle and confusion OTQawit.np.sied. In the centre of. the Square was the band playing (Sunday as it was) and thousands of people walking to and fro, eating their ices, drinking their wines, beer, &c. There seemed to be no recognition of the Sabbath at all. On Monday as I ascended to the top of the Campanile tower three nundrea ana iwemy-six feet high in one corner of this square (or piazza) and cast my eye3 around, I was very much impressed. Around and far below me were fine palaces, churches, buildings, hotels, &C., all built in the water and contain ing 130,000 souls ; but I could see none of these neonle except a few just below me in the large piazza. The sight was grand. , The ascent up. this tower is very gradual and although three hundred and twenty feet high, Napoleon is said to have once ridden his horse to the top of it. I have not been interested more, not even when I mounted , the great dome oi sc. reier s m jwjjuo. in Venice tne goveimw"i-Ft priates a large sum for the raising of pigeons and they are air fed in and around the piazza of St. Mark and I was very much amused one day at o. rt'nirtcic at which time they are fed.

From this you may imagine its im mensity. Though begun as far back as 1386, it is still unfinished. A certain sum is spent annually to keep itln a continual state of repair. The exterior is very beautiful, but the interior much moTR hp.autirui ana -lmuoBiuK. xjjcid is a clear space from end to end, only interrupted by the clusters of huge pillars, which support the vault. The pavement is of chequered marble. At the tabernacle of the high altar they keep a nail of the true cross, which is carried in procession on me oru ui May, the anniversary ot the great plaeue of Milan. In . the cathedral there is an inscription giving a list of the relics belonging to it;,among wnicn are Christ's cradle and , swaddling clothes, the towel with which He wip ed His disciples' feet, four thorns of His crown, the reed, the cross, the sponge and the spear, one of the nails, a pieee of Moses' rod, two of Elisha's teeth,' and so forth and so on. (Of -course these are all the original ones.) I also noticed a strange ana tomical statue of St.. Bartholomew in the act of being1 flayed alive ; and many more highly interesting objects. This morning at 5 o'clock 1 mounted its grand old spire, tnree nunareu and sixty feet high, whence I had a splendid view over the plain of the Po as far as Mount Blanc, Mount Rosa, the Stelvio pass, and also a yiew of the snow-capped Alps in the distance. To day I also saw the famous original painting of the "Last Supper," by Le onarda Davinci. It is yery much dis figured, and looks very ancient. It is interesting only as being the original from which all others have been taken. Milan is a gay -and lively city, and I regret to leave her, but I must to-morrow morning, when I will start for a short tour of Switzerland, taking in Lake Corao, Maggivre, and crossing the Alps at St. Gothard pass, and on to Lucern, where I expect to meet my friends.
