REPRESENTATION IN THE NA TIONAL CONVENTION This subject has had a pretty full and fair discussion at tbe hands of the onth ern press, awl many of the Northern jour nal have had their u say M upon ir, At the South several able and influential jonrnals have taken strong grounu against niese oiaie. licmg i procim.- We think that represeutition can do no possible harm, but that pn the contra ry it is absolutely necessary to the integ rity and harmony of the party that there should be a representation With ns the on ly mattTforiici4eioi! is the kind of nten we should send to the convention; wheth er they shall he what are usually tenped "representative rrien," or making a new departure, we had not better send young fresh men, unknown in the political Cir- rlpf. but men of sense and dignitv of character. I Thin is really the ground for a differ cnee of opinion, and this we should sejtle quietly among ourselves before next sum mer. Well, why do we g;iy this is the oHy point to discuss in the face, too, of the recent letter of Gen. Wade Hampton, who states his objections to repnseijta tion more, clearly than most of his friend.-, on that side have been able to do be cause, as the Washington I'atriot says in a recent well considered article jn ansyver to Gen. Hampton' letter, if the Demo cratic convention be: fragmentary, tin Radicals by the dextrous use of soldiers and government pationage having a full! convention representing even section the prestige of nationality will he claimed by the latter and wrtli a slnw of reason. While the Democrats will in name and face be a sectional party. Says the Pa triot: "Ours is the theory that, for all purposes of consultation, and preliminary action, Southern men are acompletely re-habilited and part of the political family as if the broadest amnesty had been proclaimed, and the disqualifying con stitutional! restrictions had never been enacted." To meet! the objection that the South could have no weight in shaping flie pol icy of tiie party or in selecting the candi date1, our Washington, contemporary ur ges the following sensible vicwfs : " p the South, in the Convention, were with aytping! like unity, to express ihe wish that deal j-ssues --non Id be buried, and an xisting sjap of things accepted nay, more, if, while tin judgment of the North was balancing in the ch ice of candidates, the South were not obtru siv -ly, but earnestly and with genuine accord, to sk the nomination of one who had, like a generous soldier, fought and helped to conquer tlipm, or of a statesman whose remote ar.tcce dfnts were far from leing in harmony with tfeirs, but who stands firmly on the great basis o Amnesty and Peace in the broadest sense if this were to happen, ns it easily might, who would doubt that the wish would be listened to and the great co-operation secured by harmo nious counsel, and not by mere acquiescence? Yet all this is impracticable if the reprcstnta- tive-men ol the Njulh are absent. That paper also controverts the idea advanced by at. other 'distinguished 'mili tary man, one of the parties to the Hamp ton corrx:spondenc", Gen. I). II. Hill, that there should be no representation in an event except by the old achnowledgcd leaders of the party. It sa s : "There is in every Southern State an inter mediate class of less prominent, or jt may be less obnoxious nieji who are not even disfran chised Jio, if they fought in the war, fought as young! men, and in su!ordinate position-. There may be those (though this is improbable) woo did (pot fight at all. Yet these are true to the Conservative cause, and representative tlu roughly of local sentiment.

It will lie far more etlective than that everything should be taken ad referen- dumi nm instead of the convention speaking at once and j for all, to wait for slow and possihiv doubtful ratification." PARTIES AND THE PRESIDEN : TIAE ELECTION. We believe, says the llichmoml IVhig, that if by some happy arrangement ot circumstances, all the men throughout the country j who are opposed to Radicalism could be brought together and would frame VPresidentiaJ ticket, thev would be nu merous enough to achieve a great victory, and to relieve the country ot Radieal rule. The niisfoiiune is that party names and associations stand in the way. A man who has been acting with the Republicans whether as leader r humble piivate in teh ranks, no more likes to march right into the Democratic catnn and call himself n Democrat than a Democrat would like to march over into the Republican camp and call himself a Republican. But there arc great numbers of honest men throuhont I the romitrr who it obi nrtliiis.il - j - - 1 .. '.r.i..v4ti in ri lltl tions could be gotten rid of, would come together and work haimouiously to the sameendi There are large numbers of librml Re publicans who would be glad of the op- portuniiy 01 voting lor UHase or Trum bull, or almost any liberal-minded states man, against Gen. Grant, but who would not be willing to vote for theui if they were the nominees of the Democratic par ty eo nomine. Between the Radical party and the Democratic part3', if narrowed down to choice - btt ween them, we of the South, wouldi ot course, have no hesitation in choosing the-latler. But why cannot the whole: opposition to Radicalism come to gether? Such opposition would combine all the Democrats and all the liberal Re publicans, and could accomplish what the Democrat alone cannot, and what thH liberal Republicans alone will never at tempt. If the party organisations at pre- seni extsipig snnnid be strictly adhered to, there will be thousands and thousands of misplaced men in the. next Presidential canvass men who would be glad of the opportunity ot voting against Radicalism, but who will not consent to join the Democratic-party to do so. If a great National Convention organi zation, based pn opposition To Radical- ism," like that existing Virginia could be formed, it would sweep the country. A gooa popuia-, available Presidential tick et would secure it the victory. It is not plcatant tn think that every thing may be lost iiTtbe next Presidential campaign for wanof some sensible and felicitous arrangement by wltcb 'nil good liberal-minded men could be brought to yjte and act together. I We fear.1 however, that old party virus js too strong to be overcome, and that there arc numbers who would rather be defeated under their old flag thau be vic torious under ihe new one. The Chicago Tribune has evinced a strong desire lor the purification of its pirty and a laudable wish to advance liberal men and measures, but its efforts will all end. in nothing if it can propose nothing better t b:iii the following, extract ed from its issue of Saturday last : "At present the Democratic party is an ob stacle to national progress and'reform. It keepB from the liejmblican rljr just enough voters to render the latter iowerlesrt to cast: off" ita knaves and imbeciles, A large number of Dem ocrats agree thoroughly with the Repnblk-ans ujon the great fundamental principles of gov ernment established by the war, but hugging tbe delusion that reform in the government must be the work of an adverse; party, they labor vainly in the Democratic organization. If these Democrats wohUK dissolve jheit1 own organiza tion, and would give their votes to the Repub lican party, they wonld find within the latter organization the means, and the only present means, of delivering jhe country from the evils with which it is oppressed, and which the Dem ocratic party, by iw general stupidity and waut of patriotism, jcrpetuatc and strengthens. If the Chicago Tribune has nothing to propose but a complete and unconditional surrender to the Republican party it had just, as well ce. its liberal talk .and go in f uf Grant and miatluUeratcd Radicalism.

Measuring the quality of the suffering rather than the ijnantity, and proportioning the number of people involved in loss and destruction ol life and property, the eastern shove of Michigan, in the counties of Huron and Sinalic, has been visited with, a calamity surpassing that of Chicago. Port Huron is already a hospital for ihe maimed and anasylum for tl destitute. Thompson's Hall, a long, !W attick in a wooden building on iSixllv, street, is the rendez vous of the poor:wetehcs brought in here from the north tugs, steamboats, and scows. Three or four homesteads had bocn'pnt up, and half a dozen or more straw beds laid on the floor. On lliese were stretch ed, ;in rows, thirty or forty people, beinj he last cargo ot wretchedness brought into the town. Men, women, aud chil dren, the latter ranging from a dozen years of age .to -the suckling oabc, were ly ing in rowsr Tbv were nearly all in sound sleep wearried out by their pio longed exertions., in fighting the fire, in fleeing from it,' in standing in the cold water f thu lake iipylo their necks hour afler hour. Several of them apparently were kept awake by their pain ; their hands or fingers, or eyes or cars, were bandaged, the fitt having often, blistered them, and in soie cases turned their feet to a crisp. The 'effect of ihe smoke upon the eyes and lungs is particularly severe. THE CHIC A G 0 COXFLA Git A TION. Serviced under theShadotc of the Jitdns of the House of Worship Tlie Latest from the dity of Ashes. Correspondence of T'ie San. Chicago, Oct. 15. This is a sad and gloomy Sunday for Chicago, as opposite in ever essential respect from the Lift Sunday as darkness to day-light. Seventy-five churches in which devout congre gations worshipped one week ago are to day in ashes and the-, congregations scat ered ahd in the 'deepest affliction. Some of the pastors of these churches have to day essayed to hold service in the open air, under the sliadows of the blackened ?aU k tl,e,r frmer elegant wbfices, and U aS .becn lS '6M, " gaiiieriuga w men inese services nave drawn together and to witness tbe deep feeling .with which the worshippers have poured out their petitions to the Almighty for mercy nnd succor in this benir of deep distress. Streaming eyes and lowjy-bowed beads were everywhere I among these au- dienccs in the wildepit'ss.of ruifts. Not all ihe congregation sougb tbtif old haunts Jo worship. Many ofili m arc too completely broken up to bold any services. Others found it convenient to meet within the walls of some other and iortunate sanctuary, fraternally .placed at tt.nl. 1..

The fcjy mag nitude fsf the calamity defies theipowers of the human mind; when one attempts to dcfciibc it he beevmes, bewildered and confused in the unending variety sub divisions and i!lu.tration8 that ii resent themselves is Jar beyond drsf Uption. Even the ruins cannot be described! by pn of tnoita'. They must be seen hi nil their gra::d dimei.Kions, in their J itnran8e extent, in their sublime, I had- almost said, beauty to be appreciated. The Rev. Dr. Hartlett of Plymouth Church, the Beecher of Chicago, attempted to d- clibe them. He contrasted theoi with the ruins .f the Portland fire, the New Turk h re, tlit? great Loudon fire, the burning of Lome, and the destructiau of I'ompeii, showing that in all history there ban been no destruction so extensive or equjll y so much if property or i so many peopic turned homeless into the 8f.ie.-t ns in this instance. Forty thousand build ings have been destroyed, from 2,500 to three thousand acres of ground coin ple e y swept, with five hundred lives sacrificed and u hundred thousand people turned houn let s and destilute upon the cliat itics of the world, while frrijlu two to three hundred millions ot dolUrsj of prop erty lias been annihilated, would pot u g u to tell the story of Mich an event. Special trains have been arriving all day, loaded down with excursion parties from all the country about, and from as far away as St. Louis, coming to see the ruins. The woik of recovering and open ing sulci goes on as heretofore. ' As 1 cii writing, ihe immense jewellers' safes are torn open opposite tue, from which wmk uicn are scraping out bushels .-ot watches and blackened and melted -i jewelry. ......It.. .1. .. 1 fin i ' . r . i-Miui ut'Miny eu. i ne great saie oi ihe i United States Sub -Treasury iiu! the J'o-t I ;iiic' uuiuting nas jut UeMl taken out j and opened, revealing fc3,()0O.000 ot !
