Mr. Minis, of Yolo introduced the follow

penses incurred by the Convention, and that
the sum collected from delegates, such ex-
penses having been betrayed be paid into

Mr.. Hunt, of San Bernadino opposed such
disposal of the funds, and insisted that to the

of their room, should be given the surplus
monies.
Mr. Ryland offered the following:

against all assaults coming from whatsoever
quarter they may.
Adopted by acclamation.
Mr. Minis moved that the Convention pro-
ceed to the election of delegates to the Ma
tional Convention.
The question as to the proper mode of
procedure was discussed at length Motions
for the appointment of committees of eleven.
and one from each delegation, to fix upon a
proper plan, were severaly acted upon and
lost. Finally, Mr.. Walkup, of Placer, offer
ed substitute that the rolled be called, and
candidates selected by the various delegations
be voted for, the eight highest of whom to
! be declared duly elected. Carried.
The names of Michael Gray, of Yuba, and
/ w. II. Endicott, Of Nevada, were withdrawn.
Mr.. Crttenden, of San Francisco, rose to
refute base scandal that had been put in
circulation in relation to one of the candi-
dates for seat in the National Convention,
He referred to Col. Inge, who had been ma
| liciously accused Of eXtorting a large sum OF
money from the widow Of Gen. Richardson,
for services rendered IN the prosecution OF
Cora for the murder Of her husband. He
Indignantly denied the truth of such story
| Col. Inge had never sought of or received
from Mrs. Richardson or her estate one dol
lar for bis efforts in her behalf 1t was only
through the urgent solicitations of friends
that he undertook such prosecution, and it
was with the perfect understanding that he
should not receive a cent therefor out Of the
property of his client
Mr.. Lent, of Santa Clara, called upon
those persons who had informed him of the
report, to prove or deny the same.
Mr.. MCGOWAN, as one of those who had
circulated such report, explained how such
information was impaired to him, and from
whom derived.
Mr.. Crttenden said that being conversant
with the facts of the case, he would make a
succinct statement to the Convention, for
the purpose of vndicating the private char
acter of the gentleman who had been so
wantonly assailed, and who unfortunately
was not there to defend himself The speak
er detailed the circumstances of the entire
transaction, which fully and satisfactorily ex-
culpated Col. Inge from collusion or dishon-
orable conduct so far as regarded his con-
nection with the affair. Further, said the
'speaker it has been urged that Col. Inge is
Federal officer. and that this was sufficient
reason why his claims should be disregarded
by that Convention. He, the speaker, then
declared that the gentleman was not an of
/ fee holder, nasmuch as his declination had
been rendered to the government.
Mr. Maloney, offered the following:
Resoloed, That the election of n. p Banks
to the very responsible position of Speaker
of the House of Representatives Of the Con-
gress of the United States, is dangerous to
the peace and harmony Of the people of the
United States and the integrity of the Union,
because the known and avowed opinions of
that gentleman on the subject Of slavery, if
carried into operation by the election of a
President and majority of the two houses of
Congress entertaining similar opinions on
this question, would have tendency to dis
solve the Union.
Adopted unanimously.
The roll was then called, and the voting
for delegates proceeded with. The result
was as follows:
