toned several days SINE that the Con.
ventions If both political parties in Cal
ifnrnia had stormy sessions. A discus
sion arose in the Wing Convention on
a motion to appoint an officer of the Gus
tom house as delegate to the National
Convention, which created some consid
erable excitement, but like sensible men,
they finally concluded that this of itself
was no real objection, and II. Clay Mudd
was appointed.
The Democratic Convention had their
difficulty occOsioued by the appointment
of two sets Of delegates from San Fran-
cisco. Row No. l was kicked up by two
persons taking the chair, thus forming a
monslrosity, double headed body; both
at length retired and Row No. 9 follow.

ed a motion, declared carried by the
mover, to request the chairman to vacate
his seat. The excitement was at length
quelled by a motion to have both sets oil
delegates retire, which was done, aud
thus ended the forenoon session.
During the afternoon, the monotony Of
tedious session was varied by row
and a fgh, between Broderick and
Fraener. The former is a Tammany
Hall Democrat, the latter the "Mustang'
correspondent of the New Olleans Delta
whose spicy letters during the Mexican
war will be remembered. After Ions
and violent dispute, they came to blow'
and belab0red each other for some time
when Mr.. b. picked up a bottle and
with this weapon of attack went at Mr.
f. The latter seized an inkstaud anc
threw at his antagonist, cutting a deeI
cash in his cheek. Thus ended the al
ternoon's session.
Both Conventions at length succeeded
in appointing delegates, and it is to b.
hoped that they will leave their fer,
spirits at home.
