Mr.. McHenry said, Z" / conveyed the
message presuming you were a gentle
man, but now discover you are not, and
denounce you as a low, vulgar fellow, not
worthy Of notice. If l had known you
were a blackguard l should not have con-
veyed the message"
MIR. Montgomery made no reply. This
led to the assault.
AT the fight Mr.. Boyan, of Texas,
cameup Immediately after blows had been
struck and drawing a revolver from his
pocket offered it to young Randall. The
parties, however, did not get together
again.
The Now York delegation have rcsolv-
ed TO sustain the majority report of the
committee on credentials.
BALTIMORE, juno 22.
Convention assembled at 10 o'clock.
The reading of yesterdays proceedings
was dispensed with.
The chair stated that the main ques-
ton had been ordered. Tho secretary
then read the motions in their order. The
chair stated that the question would first
bo taken on the report of Mr.. Cuttings, of
Maryland, adopting tho whole majority
report excepting the case of Alabama,
and admitting from that State the origi-
nal Charleston delegation.
Mr.. Cuttings asked consent TO with
draw the first part Of tho report, so as TO
leave before the committee as his report
only the resolution admitting the Yancey
delegates from Alabama.
Mr.. Wright, of Massachusetts,, raised
point of order that no motion had ever
been mado TO adopt Mr.. Cuttings report
rs in amendment.
The President decided tho point Of Or
dor not well taken.
Mr.. Wright, of Massachusetts, objected
to the withdrawal Of the first part Of
Mr.. Cuttings report.
Mr.. Cuttings then asked consent TO
withdraw the whole report, which was
granted thus: by bringing his minority
report proper first in order.
Mr.. Crum, of Mo-, on behalf of the
majority of tho committee asked leave TO
fill q record of the reason for this conclu-
sion with the report.
Mr.. Wright objected.
Mr.. Crum said, if permitted to fill this
statement he would waive tho right TO
speak in conclusion Of the debate.
Mr.. Wright, of Mass, still objected,
and when the gent from Missouri COM
menced his speech he should raise point
of order that there was no debate in the
reports Of yesterday and therefore there
could be no right of reply.
Mr.. Clark, of Nd, called attention to
the remarks of Messrs. Phillips, Of Penn,
and Stevens, of Oregon, yesterday, which
certainly made debate on the reports.
The President decided that the debate
had taken place and gave the floor to Mr..
Crum.
Mr.. Crum thon made a statement
showing his reasons for the conclusion of
tho majority of the committee on credcn-
tials. He argued that the secession del
egates did create vacancies and trouble.
The resolutions passed the Charleston
convention regarded such rs vacancies,
and called on the States 10 fill them.
The minority Of the committee, while do
nying that vacancies existed, prepared to
render their arguments effective by filling
the several vacancies. The States them
selves had regarded such as vacancies by
re-appointing and rejoicing delegates to
Baltimore. The credentials of the Miss
issippi delegates bear on their face the
fact that they were appointed on the 3oth
of May, and many moro new delegates.
The Alabama credentials Of the delegates
bear on their face tho date of their APP
pointment, not to the convention, but
to Richmond, that they were appointed
on the 30th of May, and many more
new delegates. The Alabama creden-
tials Of the delegates bear on their faco
the dato of their appointment, not TO this
convention, but 10 the Richmond. Low
or down they were accredited to this con-
ycntion. They might as well have been
appointed also to the Chicago convention.
The statement also proceeded to give
similar reasons for tho admission of tho
| IOOulO uclcSuLlOu lIOiu IOulSltlild uIlu nc
ccptation of the delegations from the 9th
or States.
Mr.. Brown, of North Carolina, rose TO
speak but was called TO order by dele
gate from Minnesota, who said there was
no debateablc question before the conven-
ton.
The President ruled debate out Of or
der.
Mr.. Stevens, Of Oregon, rose 10 per
sonal explanation.
Mr.. Stuart, of Michigan, objected, the
chair must enforce the rules Of order.
Mr.. Stevens appeal TO the gent from
Michigan to withdraw his objection.
Mr.. Stuart, no gent will 90 further
than myself in granting personal fayors,
but the business of the convention has
already boen delayed so long that | could
not Withdraw my objection.
