L. RneELY as Secretary pro tenn. Since that time
it has been occupied from day to day in fruitless
ballottings for Presiding Officer. The Hon. JOIN
G. CHAPMAN is the candidate Of the Wings, and re
ceived 4s votes; Hon. BENJAMIN G. HowARD, pu
in nomination by the Democrats, received Al votes
and Hon. WIN. CosT JOHNSON received the vote
of the Union men," Thus, there being three dis
Hnct parues, anu VIC OHion iHeH IoiulHS WIG ud

been unable to organize.
Already, too, we much regret to learn, there ha
been one death amongst the members of the Con
vention. WILLIAM H. Tuck, Esq, one of the Dele
gates from Prince Georges county, died suddenl
at Annapolis on Thursday afternoon, from an attac
Of apoplexy. He was gentleman Of fine abilities
highly esteemed by all who knew him, and 70
many years has sustained prominent place il
the affairs of the State.
