PHILADELPHIA, Feb 23.-The Convention re-
NAMED in session until two this morning. The ma
jority report of the Committee on Credentials, ad-
hitting the Edie delegation was adopted, ss to 46
This result occasioned the widest excitement or
the part Of Southern members Mr.. Pickett, o.
Tennessee left the Convention, refusing to parti
cpate further in its proceedings.
The motion to admit the Louisiana delegation
was carried by an unanimous vote.
Mr.. Brooks, of New York, moved a reconsdera-
tion of the vote upon the majority report, far
related to the contested seats Of the Pennsylvania
delegation, but the motion to lay the proposition
on the table was carried by large majority.
The Convention meets again at ten to-day.
A large portion of the Southern members retired
before the vote was taken, and split is anticipa-
ted at the next sitting.
PHILADELPHIA, February 23, Ia P. M.-The
Convention has been scene of excitement the
whole morning. There is much dissatisfaction
among the Southern delegates, which amounts to
almost fever heat. They will hold meeting this
afternoon in the paror of the Girard House, to de-
termine upon future action. There has been no
progress in business thus far to-day.
