The ballotipgs were continued. with but little
ntermission, until the 3lst ballot inclusvc-when
at one o'clock, p. IN {, the convention took recess
for two hours. The ballotings given above in de-
tail will afford the reader generally correct idea
of the run Of them all-the changes having been
very few and unimportant as affecting any result
We notice the following incidents:
During the second vote this morning, bouquet
was thrown to Mr.. Bolts by lady in the gallery
As votes were changed, applause or disapprobaton
was occasionally manifested by the friends op
ponents Of the respective candidates. One of the
r a.
said it was given for "Major General Winfield
Scott" when voice heard uttering, "There
he is, with all his feathers. Ha! ha!' A bouquet
was thrown to M. Ashmun, which that gentle
map delivered to Mr. Upton, for whom it was la
belled.
When, on the tenth vote, the result was an
for Scott 1875, there was excessive APP
plau,c, in which the galleries participated, the Scott
stock having gone up two votes.
On the twelfth trial the Clerk, by mistake,
nounced the ten of North Carolina for Scott,
instead of Fillmore. There some applause,
amid which the chairman Of that delegation
promptly made the correction, and the Clerk asked
pardon for his The applause no. re-
newed.
The successive votes were narrowly watched,
almost every delegate havin - hank list in his
hand, anxiously noting the q ~. The gale
ries seemed to be equally nsesfsvsQ Among the
spectators large representation OF ladies.
Iced water and fans were considered indispensable
requisites on the occasion.
The chairman Of the Maine delegation, Mr..
Mills, when that State called on the sixteenth
trial, declared the eight votes cast for Old Chip
pewa, General Scott" This was succeeded by
applause and hisses.
On the succeeding trial, the same gentleman

ceived in a manner similar TO the preceding.

The President requested the gentleman to be
more explicit, and sta.e the name.
Mr.. Botts. lie means Henry Clay, daughter and

Mr.. Edwards said, Daniel Webster.
North Carolina's vote was announced as for
''the model President, Willard Fillmore" Zap

There being no choice, the voting went on, dur.
ing which a delegate from Illinois, who had stuck
to Fillmore from the 5ih ballot, was rewarded with
a bouquet thrown from the gallery by lady.
Such iayors were repeatedly bestowed upon other
gentlemen.
On the twenty fourth trinl, Mr.. Brodhcad said
that, the delegation Of Missouri stood, but eight
districts were represented, and one not repre-
scented. They we're instructed by the Wing State
TO cast the vote for Willard Fillmore
At this stage, however, the veto was about to be
divided, and he wished to submit whether Missouri
shall give her nine electoral votes instructed or
whether each district shall vote for itscf
The President replied that the delegation must
sotle that among themselves. They are rcsponsi
bic TO their constituents and to Missouri, and not
to the convention. The Chair thinks their duty
will be faithfully executed.
Missouri was then called, and gave eight vote,
for Fillmore and ono for Scott. The latter an
nounccment was received with applause and slight
Kissing
At the close Of the twenty sixth vote, q motion
was made that the convention adjourn until half
past four th's afternoon, but il voted down by
a large majority; and during the applause which
followed there anxious cries for another vote.
So the convention resumed the voting.
Mr.. Eduey, Of North Carolina, at a quarter past
one, moved that the convention adjourn until five
O'Clock. The question taken by Siales, aud
