ton and the appointment OF committees,
varied by an exciting epicode caused by the
forcible entry into the room of the Missouri
Bentonite delegation, whose claims had not
been recognized by the Committee of Ar
rangements. The President of the Conven-
ton refused subsequently to recognise them
as delegates and they withdrew.
The following is the latest despatch which
the papers of Tuesday give:
Cincinnati, June 20 o'clock P. M
The committee on the permanent organiza-
ton have agreed on Gen. John E. Ward, of
Georgia, for permanent President
The committee on resolutions are in ses-
sion and have not yet finished the platform.
voring to harmonic the New Workers.
The softs are disposed to compromise, but
the hards contend that they are the only re-
representatives. of the Democratic party, and
refuse these overtures.
The committee sat this afternoon with
closed doors to hear the case of the Missouri
contested seats, and finally decided to ad-
NIT the anti-Benton delegates The New
York case will be heard tomorrow.
The excitement is increasing Mr.. Buch-
anan's friends are becoming more confident.

other candidate.
The SUMNER AssAULr.-The select COM
mittee of Investigation on the assault upon
Mr.. Sumner, appointed by the House, re-
ported on Monday through Mr.. Campbell, of
Ohio. The majority of the committee re-
port that the assault was a breach of the
privileges of the Senate and also disorder
ly act for which the House has the power
to punish the perpetrator. They therefore
recommend the expulsion of Mr. Brooks
from the House as representative of South
Carolina, and censure Messrs. Keitt and
Edmundson for the sanction and encourage
ment they gave to the assault both before
and at the time of it's committal. Mr.. Cobb,
as minority ofthe committee, reports that no
breach of privilege was committed and con-
tends that the House has no power to punish
the act. 1t is most probable that the reports
will not be acted upon for week or two as the
House will not be full until the political
Conventions that meet this month have adj
journed. It requires two-third vote to
expel member.
The report of the Investigating Commit
tee of the Senate into the Sumner affair, is
decided in the expression ofopinion that the
assault on Sumner 'twas breach Of the
privileges of the Senate"
