Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1856-10-22


Conf usion State mass convention in
session at Harrisburg, Pa, yesterday, that
endorsed the Fusion" ticket made, since the
recent election, at Philadelphia, by Thad. Ste
vens, VIM. F. Johnston, Thurlow w eed, Hor
ace Greeley and Bob Purvis. on one side, and
two members only of the American party
State Committee on the other side, was COM
posed wholly of Fremonters, some of whom
professed, up to Tuesday of last week, to be
Fillmore men only to cheat the real Fillmour-
ners into following them over into the Fremont
camp. The Fillmore State Committee consists
of twenty-five individuals, only two of whom
have, so far, openly deserted Fillmore's cause.
Sanderson and the nineteen acting with him
are correct in declaring that it will be utterly
impossible to transfer oil the Fillmore votes of
Pennsylvania over to Fremont. We saw I'M
mistakable proof of that fact when traversing
that State not long since. 1t is really imma.
terisl whether they " fuse" or not, as, per-
haps, one. fourth of Fillmore's strength there
will, under any and all circumstances, refuse
to be sold for-Mariposa stock, or any other
consideration. -
Resigned.-We hear that Judge Minot, Of
New Hampshire, the Commissioner Of Pen
sions, resigned that position to-day. His pr
vate business at homo is said to have been the
cause Of his resignation. He acquired a high
reputation as an executive officer indeed dur
ing his comparatively brief connection with
the Pension Bureau, and will carry into his
retirement from public life the respect and
regard of all with whom he came in contact
officially in the Federal city.
The secretary Of the Navy, according to a
letter received from him this morning in the
Navy Department, will be in Washington, to
resume the duties Of his post, on the 30th inst.
His many friends will rejoice to learn that his
health has been much improved by his visit
to his home in North Carolina.
