7 When the twenty-third ballot was called
Mr.. Russell announced that he had been
requested to cast the vote of Virginia-I4
one way and another, but declined to do
so; for, although no resolution had been
passed by the Convention requesting Virgin
ia to vote as a unit, yet it was regarded as a
| Democratic law Of the State Mr. Lofts,
the dissenting delegate, thought it was use
less to vote any longer for Hunter, and
now his constituents ought to be heard
He therefore voted for Douglas. The vote
was ruled in order, and Douglas getting
one vote from North Carolina, mangaed to
secure majority of the electoral college.
On the ID May, it was evident, all
through the ballotng, that an adjournment
for some time was wished for and contem-
plated by many of the delegates. After
the 34th ballot, Mr.. Cuttings of Maryland,
gave notice that, after the next ballot, be
would move to adjourn to meet in Baltf
more, in June. He thought delegates
should 90 home and see their constituents
and then they would be ready to do their
duty, by nominating any man to beat the
Republicans. Josiah Randall of PhiladeI-
phia, (intense anti-Dougas,) hoped the
Convention would adjourn sine die.
hn hnl f,l n
made his threatened motion He assured
the delegates that Baltimore was no longer
a Plug Ugly town, but promised hospita-
ble welcome to everybody. After some
debate the motion was temporarily with
drawn. 1t was renewed afterwards, and
rejected. The log-roling, outside, then
commenced and between the time Of the
adjournment of the Convention, on the I'd
and Sd, the matter was fixed up.
On the I'd, Mr.. Russell, Of Va, offered
some remarks, and then presented resolu-
tion to adjourn to met in Baltimore, on the
18th of June. The President decided the
resolution out Of order, unless the balloting
was suspended. A motion TO suspend fur
theT balloting was carried. Ayes. 1879:
nays, 81. The resolution to adjourn to
Baltimore was then taken up and adopted.
Ayes, 1876; nays, 55. 1t provides that the
Convention shall aSsemble-in Baltimore Oh
the 18th of June, and that the States whose
delegation are not full have an opportunity
of filling the same.
p Mr., Stuart, Michigan, Douglas then
moved that the Convention adjourn. Gen.
Spratt c,dled for three cheers for the Demo
cratic party which were given The dis
patch says that the adjournment of the
Convention was affected by the friends of
Douglas, under orders from Washington.
The seceders' Convention was held on
the LIST of May, and was addressed by Yam
,cey and others. 1t adopted the majority
platform which was rejected in the Conven-
tion before the split. A resolution was
adopted on the 81 Of May to meet at
Washington on the Monday in June, which
is the llrh. This resolution was adopted
by an almost unanimous vote.

THE INDIAN WAR AT wAsHoE, cALIFoRNIA.
For some weeks past a report was circu-
lated through the State that the Pah Utah

MAJ. w. w. MAcKALL:-A fight took
place near Pyramid Lake, on Saturday, 4
p. NJ, between los whites from this place

threatened by the Pah-Utes if they do not

We have o few rcvolvers and shot guns,
to defend this place, but it is feared that
the Indians will sweep the valley, which is
perfectly defenseless. We have no arms to .
lit out party for its protection. There
appears to be no doubt that there is a gen
