OF 10 votes. q, =. Cornell, yas di=8 =FwHfiHEJ=
ed for It. Governor. So far matters went
On we'll, but upon the resolutions a division
ofnthcr q serious character arose, which re-
suited in the withdrawal di a portion of the
Convention and a separate organization. Res
olutious reported 10y the Committee were
taken up, when another set were offered az
substitutes. The latter were adoptcd--7i
yoas to i2 nays. Resolutions thanking Sen
ator Seward were also passed-ycas 20, nays
80.
The Hon. Francis Granger then left the
Chair and with the protesting members held
a meeting and resolved TO hold another State
Convention about the middle of October
How far this division may affect the vote for
the Ticket nominated, and also the vote for
Congressman, cannot now be determined, bat
it foreshadows no good.

Monday, the day of the caravan exhibition,
we had sort of "striped pig" operation, in
the way Of selling liquor, Between two Of
the small tents, erected for minor exhibition,
was wagon containing a small box. with
hutc AZ inc top, JUST large enough to admit a

his money, touched spring attached 10 the
box, and the lid falling down. or opening in
some way, disclosed a number of bottles fill
cd with liquid, labelled Gin" "Brandy,"
Rum" &c, with a set of tumblers TO match
of course, those who put in their money,
helped themselves to whatever thew wanted,
while the owner or waiting man sat by with
out apparently having anything to do with il
only, he was pretty sure TO retain the mon
ey. In this way good deal of liquor was
disposed of to those who were in the secret be-
before the trick was discovered. At length,
however, complaint was entered by sever
al persons who retained Judge Howard as
counsel, with G.. A. Burbank ESQ, as macs-
tI.ti4-- he eiienticr gave his name as Albert
llodgdcn, of South Troy, and. the defence
set up was. that h. had not actually sold IL

merely helped themselves. This plea did
not avail--ior IL was proved that two men, at
