not been able to do anything during the recess,
but they propose to extend the platform still fur

the members. This announcement was followed
by applause.
Then followed long interval. Members coming
in and finding some difficulty in getting seated,
there much confusion prevalent
The Chairman inquired whether any of the
Committees were prepared TO report.
Mr.. Harris, of Illinois, as member of the Com
mittee on Organization said he had been requested
to say that they were not yet ready to make their
report.
Mr.. Thompson, of Miss, said the Committee on
Credentials met Immediately after the recess, and
proceeded to discharge their duty. Their report
was not yet complete in consequence Of misap-
prehension as to whether the subject Of rules was
referred to them; this, however, not the case,
and he moved to take up that resolution for adop
ton.
A delegate cried out in loud voice, owe

through the capacious hail. crowd o. specta-
tors at this point began to rush into the galleries
thus increasing the confusion which prevailed.

The resolution was, however, finally adopted,
not half the Convention seeming to understand its
purport.
A motion was here made to adjourn until to-

tremendous was the negative sound with which
it was received, and was followed by hearty and

send messenger to ascertain the names of all the
speakers.
