EVENING SESSION.
The Evening Session was rather boiserous
at It's commencement Committee was APP
pointed to report permanent officers of the Con-
vention, who subsequently, recommended AN
URLw STEVENSON of Va. as President, who was
elected, and number of gentlemen for Vice
Presidents While this Committee was out the
Convention was addressed by Senator HANNE-
GAN and Senator llousToN, Mr. yANcY and
Judge BARGE.
In the course of Mr.. Hannegan's remarks he
alluded 10 the progress of Republicanism in Eu-
rope in imitation OF this Republic Of thirty States,
soon to be enlarged by New Mexico, Oregon,
California, and some other States. A voice in
the crowd asked if We nigh. not expect Yucca
tan; to which Mr.. flanagan repliod-No; but
perhaps far richer State, Cuba, and he begged
permission to add Jamdica, too!
A question involving considerable difficulty,
and which produced no small degree Of excite
ment, was raised by Delegate from Ohio as to
the right of the single delegate from South Car
DINA to give the entire vote OF that State. The
question was not net by the Convention, but
was postponed till the permanent organization.
The New York difficulty was disposed of for
the present. and perhaps finally, by the adoption
of a report from the Committee on Credentials,
recognizing members from all the other States,
and allowing the Committee 10 hold the New
York case under consideration during he sitting
of the Convention.
The following gentlemen were chosen perma-
nent officers of the Conventions
