State Convention IN Virginia.

RICHMOND, VA, Feb. 16.-The Democratic
State Convention assembled hero, to-day, and
temporarily organized by the choice of Mr..
Payne Of Fauquier as Chairman, which is a
triumph for the friends of Henry A. Wise.
There was much confusion in the subsequent
proceedings in regard to the manner of the
appointment of the Committee on Credentials.
After stormy debate it was at length decided
by large vote that the Secretary call the roll
by counties and members report their names
and be permitted to take their seats. The
call of the roll then proceeded amid great con-
fusion. Subsequently the death of Rush
Floyd was announced when resolutions of re-
spect were adopted, and eloquent eulogies pro-
nounced upon his life and character. A dis
patch was then read from the Connecticut
Democratic State Convention at Hartford, en-
bracing the following resolution =
Resolved, That the Democrats of Connect.
cut send to Virginia fraternal regards congrat
ulating the Old Dominion OH the effectual man
ner in which she suppressed the abolition in
vasiOn OH her soil iniatiated to disturb her
rights and shed the blood of her citizens.
This resolution was received with vociferous
applause, but action upon it was postponed
Calling the lists of counties was then resumed
but shortly afterwards interrupted by the in
PRODUCTION of 4 resolution that the Democratic
members Of the General Assembly, whose
counties were not represented, be invited to
take seats in the convention. This was strong
ly opposed, and great confusion followed
Shouts of "order, order!' "sit DOWN." ETC.,
were heard from all parts of the hall. When
order was somewhat restored, the committee
on organization reported Gen Robert A Banks
of Madison for president and the usual mum
Der of vice presidents and secretaries.
A resolution about permitting others thar
delegates and members to take seats in the
convention was discussed most of the session
The excitement thus occasoned was intense
and the noise deafening. The strife betwee1
the Hunter and Wise men nearly eliminated
in personal collision. The resolution was a
length tabled, and the convention adjourned
till evening, when the district electors will b.
appointed. The proceedings show that the
Hunter stock has advanced, though possibly
all differences may be arranged.
Cheers and Kisses were on one occasion
given alternately for Wise and Hunter, bu
quiet soon prevailed. About 800 delegates ar,
present. The hall is densely crowded
Night SeSsion.-There is nothing of grea
importance doing tonight Some confusion
exists, but general good humor prevails Tht
convention is taking a vote by counties to ad
nit as delegates all Democrats now here from
counties not otherwise represented, which the
friends of Gov. Wise favor, and those of Sen
ator Hunter oppose. 1t is hardly probable the
vote will be decided before o'clock, and it is
impossible to say now how it will terminate
The friends of the two parties consider it a
test question as to their relative strength in
the convention.

relating to affairs in Kansas. Brown never
mentioned to him any design to invade the
slave states. He never had any knowledge of

Black and White in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, ONO, Feb. 16.-The Supreme
Court of Ohio decided the case of Alfred J,
Anderson VS.. Thomas Milligen, on Tuesday
last. The court held that persons having a
mixture of African blood in their veins, the
preponderance being white, were by the con-
stitution of 1901 entitled to exercise the cleo
tive franchise and that no change having
been made in this respect by the constitution
of 1851, the plaintiff having but one-eighth of
African blood, and his vote having been refus.
ed at the Presidential election of 1856, for that
reason alone, therefore the court held that he
is entitled to recover for the violation of the
right conferred on him by the constitution.
The decision was unanimous
