Belknap's counsel, after fall consultation, concluded to decline putting in any further plea to the articles of im peachruent, agreeably to the erdr mado on them at tha lata session of the court Thin, it is expected, will be followed ly a further order, or rather by an enforcement ol the order already made, requiring Ihem taproceed with the trial upon the plea of "not guihy," which the .Senate themselves will put iu for them. They will, however, file a paper to tuor-reiu whicfe their reasons for declining lo plead iurther are Kttbsiantiaily put forth. They take the ground that Gen. Belknap is already substauiially acquitted, inasmuch as the Senate has failed to assert by a two I birds vote that he is impeachable. The fact that he is or was an officer wilhiu the meaning of ihe Constitution being denied by the oue-ihiof that body, and that fact being an element of a legti connection, he caauet be convicted, whatever may be the opinion of the Senate on the other facts cf the case. Nevertheless the counsel they will be ready for trial on the 6th of July, and though their client has already been acquitted, aad ought in justice to be discharged, they expect cenSdently that he will be acquitted again. They think he ought to be spared the trouble of going through the tedious sy and expensive forms of another trial en another branch ot the case. They have a.m. 9.20 leave taken out eubpoinas for 1U7 witnesses.

SSMI-WBEICL- f&rflA c- h or- at j 0.4.0 Thursday moroing. Mrs. Siylur J. Spencer, ot the der Woman's Suffrage Association, wa9 permitted to adircss the convention for ten iiiinutejs, and mada a short but pointed argument.' A lengthy report on rules was made by the committee appoiate.d for the purpose. An unsuccessful effort was made by Mr. Hale, of Maine, to change the rule heretofore adopted.aud make the noniiiKitious before the platform was ' adopted. Ilawley, of Connecticut, chairman of the committee on resolutions, reported a series of resolutions, which were adopted bv'a vote of io'2 against 215. Following is the platform real by Ilawley: Mr. President: You must be aware that your committee on resolutions upou assembling, found itself constituted of men of somewhat d liferent sentiments and widely separated localities, and mostly Btrangeis lo each other. We have in generiil agreed upon the sentiments we are now abctit to present lo you, and respectfully submit it to your consideration and for your amendment, if you cheese: Wheu in the economy of Providence, this lnd was to be purge! of human slavery, and when the strength of the government of the people, by the people and for the people, was lo demonstrate it, (he Republican party came into power. Its deeds have passed into bis tory, and we look back to them with pride. Incited by their memories and high sims for the good of our country and mankind, and looking to the future with unfaltering courage, hope and purpose, we, the representatives of the party in national convention assembled, declaration of make the following principles: First That the United States cf America is a nation, not a league. By the combined workings of the National and State Governments, under their respective constitutions, the rights of every citueu are secured at home, and protected abroad, and the common welfare promoted The Republican parly has Second preserved those governments to the hundredth anniversary of the nation's bin h, and they are now the embodiments of the grtat truths spoken at its cradle. And all men are created equal; that ihey are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness: that for the attainment of these ends governments have been instituted among men, deriving their juet powers from the cousent of the governed. Until these truths are cheerfully obeyed, or if needed to be vigorentorced, the work of the ously Republican party is unfinished. Third The permanent pacification of the southern section of tue Union, and the complete protection of ils citizens in the free enjoyment of all their rights, are duties lo which the Republican party stands sacred pledged (ipplauns). Tbe power to provide for the enforcement of the principles embodied in the recent constituiitnal amendment is vested by these amendments in the Congress of the United States, and all declare it to be the solemn obligation of the legislative and executive departments of the government to put into immediate and vigorous exercise all their powers for removing any just causes of on the part of any class, and lor securiug to every American citizen complete lioerty and exct equality in the exercise of civil, political and public rights, (applause) To this end we imperatively demand a Congress and a chief xecuiive whose courage and fidelity t these duties shall not falter until these results are pluced beyond dispute or recall. (Applause.) In tbe first act of Congress signed by President Grant, the national government sought to remove any doubts of its duties to discharge all just obligations to public creditors, and solemnly pledged its faith to make a provision at the earliest possible period for the redemption cf United States notes in coin. (Oncers ) Commercial prosperity, public morals VOL. and national credit demand that this promise be fulfilled fcy a continued and steady progress to epecie payment?. (Loud and long continued applau.se.) Under the constitution the President and heads of departments are to mke nominations for office, th Senate is to advise and cons nt te appointments and lift House of Representatives to accuse and prosecute faithless officers The be t iiitercsis of the public service that these distinctions be respected, that Senators and Representatives who may be judges and accusers should not dictate appointments to oCice. The iuvarinble ruie for appointments should have reference to the houesty, fidelity and capacity of the appointees, giving to the party iu power those places where harmony and vigor of administration requires its po'icy to be represented, but permitting all others to be filled by persons selected wilh sole reference to the efficiency of public service, and the right of all citizens to share in the honor of rcudeiing faithful service to their eountry. Sixth We rejoice in the quickened conscience of the people concerning political affairs, and will bold all public othcors to a rigid responsibility, and engage that tbe prosecution aud punishment of all who betray ofiicial trusts shall be speedy, thorough and unsparing. (Cheers ) The public school system of Seventh the several States is the bulwark of the American Republic, and with a view to ils security and permanence we recommend an amendment to the CoustituMon of the United Slates forbidding the application of any public funds er property for the benefit of any schools or instilu tions under sectarian centrol. (Great cheering, continued for several minutes.) In response to repeated calls, General Ilawley read his plank a second time, and delegates and the audience repeated their cheers. Eighth Tbe revenue necessary for current expenditures and the obligation of the publia debt must be largely de rived from duties on importations, which, so far as possible, should be adjusted to promote tha interest of American labor and advance the prosperity of the whole country. We our opposition to Ninth further grants of the publio lands to corporations and monopolies, sod demand that the national domain be devoted to free homes for the people. Tenth It is the imperative duty of tht government to so modify the existing treaties with European governments that protection shall be afforded to the American citizen that is given to the native bom; that all necessary laws should be passed to protect immigrants, in the absence of power in the States for that purpose. Eleventh It is tbe immediate duly of Congress to fully investigate the effect of the immigration and importations of Mongolians upon the moral and material interests cf the country. 1 d (Ap-plause- .) Twelfth Tbe Republican party recognizee with approval the substantial advance recently made towaud the eetab. lishtnent of equil rights for women by the inauy important amendments effected by Republican legislation in ihe laws which concern tbe personal and property relations of wives, mothers and widows, and by the appointment and election of women to the superintendency of education, charities and other public trusts. The honest demands of this class of citizens for additional rights and privileges and immunities should be treated with respectful consideration. (Applause ) Thirteenth. The Constitution confers upon Coogresa sovereign power ovr the erritories of the United States for their government, and in the exercise of this power it is tbe rigutand duty of Congress to prohibit and extirpate in the Territories tha'. relic of barbarism, polygamy; and we demand such legislation u3 shall secure this end, and the supremacy of American institutions in all the Territories. Fourteenth The pledges which the nation las given to cur soldiers, must be fulfilled. The great people will always hold those who perilled their lives for iheir country's preservation iu the kir Jest remembrance. We sincerely deprecate nil Fifteenth sectional feelings and tendencies; wo therefore note with deep solicitude that the Democratic party counts, as its chief hope of success, upon the electoral vote of the united south, secured through the efforts of those who were recently arrayed against the aation, aud we invoke the earnest atleutiou of the eountry to the grave truth that acuccess ihm achieved would reopen sectional strife 1 -, nr Teror.

Sixteenth We charge the Democratio party with being the same in character and ppiiit a when it sympathized with treason; with making its control of the House of Representatives, tbe triumph, nnd ihe opportunity of the nation's recent foes; with reasserting and applauding at the national capital the sentiments of unrepented rebellion: with sending Union soldiers to the rear aud oonfedi-ratsoldies to the front; with deliberately proposing to repudiate the plighted fiith cf the gorernment;with I equally false and imbecile upon the foreshadowing the ends of 'justice by i: partisan mismanagement; with proving itself through the period of asceudaney in the Lower House of Congress, mterly incompetent to administer the government. We warn the country agairst trusting a party thus alike unworthy, recreant and incapable. Sevevteen The National Administration merits commendation for its honorable work in the management of domestic and foreign affairs, nnd President Grant deserves thecoutiuued and henrty gratitude of the American people for his patriotism and his immense envlce m war and in peace. 1' tig The chair then announced that nominations would be in order. This intimation was received with tremendous applause. Mr. Kellogg, of Connecticut, nominated for President, Marshall Jewell and gave a brief iecital of Mr. Jewell's political record. Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, presented the name of Oliver P. Morton as a candidate for President, and in the nomination a brief supported speech. The Domination cf Morton was seconded by Pinchback, of Louisiana, who spoke H'armly of Lis claims. Gen. Harlan, of Kentucky, put ia nomination Benjamin II. Bris-tomaking (juite a lengthy speech, in which ho highly eulogized Mr. BriBtow. Judge Poland, of Vermont, also spoke in his favor. Mr. Curtis, of New York, in the midst of nuck on app!aase,made on eloquent the claims of Bristow, and he was followed by Richard II. Dana, of Mas:achu3ctt8. On calling the State of Maine, great excitement and much enthusiasm were manifested by tha friends tif Blaine. Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, made a ppcech in which ho nominated James (J, Blaine for the Presidency. This was the signal for further excitement and applause. Turner, of Georgia, and Frye, of Maine, made speeches in favor of Blaine. When New Ycik was called, Mr. Woodford placed in nomination llos-co- o Conkling, who, he said, needed i. ! no eulogy. Gov. Koyes, of Ohio, when that State was called, nominated Governor Hayes, and proceeded to speak of his qualifications, calling him brave, honest, unprctendicg, wise, saga' cious, scholarly and a geutleman; said that he had acquired such a habit of beating Democrats that he was sure to win if Dominated; and that he could carry Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and New York. Mr. Bartholomew, of Penn., nominated Governor Hartranft; and mad brief remarks in his support. Ho did not claim that Hartranft was superior intellectually to oil the other candidates,but that, "he knew enough, and would listen to good sound and sensible advice." The convention adjourned aff.r the nominations, till 10. o'vhck tnlay. '!l. 5 i |
