chair.
Much confusion here ensued, among which
| Hub5slP nomination was announced amid
tremendous cheering and applause.
The Chairman said be announced the vote
enormously, and the Secretaries corrected him
by the correct figures, and that before he had
announced the vote as corrected, the claim was
made by thsRiehland delegation, and he would,
therefore, permit the change OF vote to be
made
Mr. Runyan of the Richland delegation
moved to declare Mr.. Hubbell the unanimous
nominee Of the Convention.
This was declared cut of order, and 10 action
taken thereon.
When the Chairman Rtated that he had
not announced the vote, q delegate asked,
"How then could il be known that the mistake
in the figures had been made?" There SEEM
ed ts be no answer ready for this q1estiou.-
And again warm discussion srose, on the
action of the Chair, amid great excitement
and confusion.
A Richland delegate then remarked that
their delegation would go back to their home
candidate, and give their vote for Matson.-
At this point Of the controversy the Union
county delegation slse asked TO change their
vote. So the whole affair was knocked over,
and no nomination obtained.

I3o.
A delegate inquired, "When was that vote
taken2" (Great laughter) And a call was
made for another ballot.
A motion was then made for . recess to
o'clock. A substitute was offered for an ad-
jsurnment to thirty days-(criss Of mo, no, ,'')

aequiesced in without vote on the motion to
adjourn. The vote resulted as follows: Hub
bell, 81; Beatty, 81; and on motion Of Rich
land delegate, the nomination was made unani-
nous, amid great cheering.
And thus, amid great enthusiasm, the little
disturbance which had sprung from the acci-
dent Of clerical error in footing up-the 6g-
ures all subsided, and the feeling of the Con-
vention became at once harmonious.
After some excellent and patriotic remarks
from the Chair, a delegate nominated Gen.
Beatty as Presidential Elector The name OF
Gen. Beatty was Withdrawn. Also the names
Of Mr.. Cole, Of Union, and Gas, Of Richland,
were presented and subsequently, withdrawn.
Mr.. Matson, Of RiehIand, and Judge Bowen,
Of Marion, were nominated, and on the vote
being taken, Mr.. Matson received 66 votes, and
Judge Bowen 81. -....
The committee appointed to wait on Mr..
Hubbell and inform him of his nomination
returned and announced that he was now pres
ent.
Mr. Hubbsll being escorted to the platform
was received with rounds of applause. In
! response be said, Mr.. President and Gentle
men of the Convention Your committee
has informed me Of the action OF your Con-
vention in regard to my nomination. re-
| turn you my hearty thanks for the honor thus
conferred. And should it be the pleasure of
the voters of the 8th Congressional District
to ratiiy and confirm, at the polls, this nom
ination and elect me to represent them in
the Congress Of the United States, pledge
you that will devote lnysf most faithfully
to the care Of your interests to the utmos of
nay ability,
Yeu have had protrated session, will
therefore detain you but briefly Our country
is in the most critical condition ever known
to its histery. or all wars = civil war is a.
ways the worst The history of the Anglo
Saxon race has no record of a war of such ter
ribls struggles and SO fraught with carnage
as the civil war that is now upon us And
the next Congress will have before it the
gravest questions, arising out Of this war, ey-
er before presented. Negro slavery, which,
like tbs forbidden fruit, that drought death
into the world and all eur wo," has brought
devastation aud NO upon our county, must
be eradicated from our system. The proper
and equitable claims Of our gallant soldiers
upon the ration must also be protected and
adjusted. Many other most grave and mo-
mentous questions, affecting the veal or the
wo Of the motion, are to be net and oonsid- |
cred by the next Congress. And again renew
to ysu my pledge Of all the obligations and du-
ties of the position your nomination imposes
upon ms, if by the votes Of our district your
nomination be ratified in October next.
Mr. Hubbell's brief remarks were warmly |
applaudsd, and the Convention adjourned
Of Mr.. Hubbell's election there can be no |
doubt; and he will make faithful, practical !
and able Representative in Congress-
