nittee Tor Governor The reporf as fif1
rs meqe was adopted Col. Smith was
sent for and made a speech of consider
apie length and great bitterness, de-
and the radicals generally.
When Col. Smith had concluded, Gen.
: Jackson .9 reported the whole ticket as
follows:
KanaWha.
=. For Secretary 1.-The iStGtc-John w.
Kennedy, of Jefferson.
For AUditoT-Peter Darnell, of Mason
For IFeGSureT-John S. Burdett, of
Taylor.
For Attorney GeneraL-N. Richard-
son.. of Ohio.
For Judge Of the Court Of ArpeGLs-
Caleb Borgess., OF Harrison.
The report wis adopted, and the Con-
iVention. took a recess till five o'clock.
Before the recess, however, Mr.. Ken
nedy called up his resolution in regard
to the s'Spoils." Attention was called
to the peculiarly embarrassing effect of
the word "OriginalY as describing the
friends of Andy Johnson who We're en-
titled to the Offices. II was discovered
that this would never do, for the reason
that the toriginal" friends of the. Origi-
nal Johnson were the men who held
the federal Offices now, The offensive
word was therefore stricken out with
great precipitation. 1 suggest to the
Secretary of the Convention that in
view of the tenor of the resolution he
insert the word "disinterested."
The interval was filled by dinner, and
speeches by Hon. l.. A. Chandler, OF
Norfolk, and Col. ID. d. johnson, nom
inee for Congress-the dinner being far
the best entertainment OF the three.
The Convention met again at five.
The Chair announced the Committee
on Loaves and Fishes, under Mr.. Ken
nedy's resolution rs follows
Hon, John w. Kennedy, James NJ.
Jackson, NAL" e. w. Andrews, Hon.
Andrew Sweeney, of Wheeling, and
"COl." Lane, of Wetzel.
And on motion of Mr.. Kennedy the
Committee were authorized to fill va
cancies in their number, and required
to proceed at the earliest possible time
to Washington and present to the Pres
ident the matters committed TO their
charge
The President of the Convention was
added % the Committee at suggestion
of "Col." Lane.
The usual resolutions of thankful
ness We're passed and every body re-
membered but tho members of the
press. / called the attention of a dele
gate to the omission, but he said the
Convention wouldn't like to commit
itself to resolution thanking the re-
porters till they knew what the re-
pOrters had said about them, thought
there might be something in it, for
conscience makes towards OF us all. I"
When every body had been thanked
for ability, impartiality, courtesy, hos
pitality and all the many virtues that
abound on such occasions, and the
President had returned thanks for the
dignity, ETC., displayed by members,
Judge Kennedy made the motion for
rable old gentleman, Mr.. KercheYal, of
Richie, who had been a silent if not
unconscious member through all the
deliberations, rose hastily and begged
the motion might be Withdrawn Just
for moment.
Surprising something had been for
gotten, the mover Withdrew it accord
The venerable delegate from Richie
then rose with great elaboration and
proceeded to say in his most peculiar
manner, that he had not been able to
attend the Convention much on ac-
count of private business, or to par
ticipate in. its proceedings, but the pres
ent seemed to be favorable oppOrtu-
nifty of bringing to the attention OF the
Convention q subject of very great
moment, which was worthy of their
consideration. It was subject which
had engaged the attention of great men
many years agO-Mr. Madison, Ran
dolph, Chief Justice Marshall, Henry
Clay, and other distinguished men of
the past age, to which Mr.. Kercheval
seems TO belong. In all the sixty and
a frnction years of his life, he thought
he had never seen so favorable a
time to renew the discussion of
this great subject. Tint subject was

restless. II was. near six O'Clock, and
the members wanted supper. A dele
cato suggested that motion to adioIifn
was pending. The chair said the mo-
ton had been withdrawn, and there
was no question before the Convention.
Judge Kennedy explained that he had
withdrawn it simply to allow the del
egate from Richie to offer a resolution.
and none having been offered, must re-
new IL. Members cried HquestiOnu
but Mr.. Sweeney appealed to the
courtesy OF the body to let the old gem
tlemnn go on his own way. Leave was
granted, but the thread ofthe old mans
argument was broken; and after fow
more words, he sat down, and the Con-
yention dissolved land the bread and
butter patriots had earned their reward.

The principal point of interest in
Washington now Is the White House.
The Capital is deserted, only a few
clerks occupying It. AT the White
