342 were east for convention, and l6,-
SS7 cast against a convention. The
whole number of votes cast upon

cast upon that question, a convention will
be held as provided for by the act of Con-
gress of March 23d, 1867. In the hall of

ties and districts of the State, who are no,

vention is az follows: Conservatives 35
Radicals 20. OF the latter twenty-five are
negroes.
There were 357 deaths in this city during
the week ending November I'd, which is
the lowest weekly record for the past five
years.
The Tribune's special says: Election
news from Georgia to the associated press
is made up by ex-Rebels, and are unfair.
1t gives, therefore, the following special,
which it vouches for:
ATLANTA, Nov. EVERY county in the
State heard from, wherever the white vote
preponderates, gives large majorities for
The convention. The Republicans have
carried the State Atlanta gives 2000 Re-
publican majority.
Nearly 2000 Immigrants arrived here on
Saturday.
The Times special says A statement
is made in certain journals that the com
mittee on elections, which has been taking
testimony in Kentucky, Will probably re-
,,oVt in favar &c Nol MoKao -, ba al
district. Inasmuch as the committee are
only instructed by the House TO investigate
charges Of disloyalty against certain mem
bers from that State, they certainly can
not report that the candidate who had a
majority of the votes is entitled to the seat
of any member unseated for disloyalty.
A contested election case, of which there
are now five before the committee, is alto
gether another thing.
The national debt statement, which will
; be due on Tuesday, will show little or DO
diminution of the aggregate payments. The
conversion of seven-thirties are very large.
In reply to a protest of certain citizens
of Richmond against the legality of the
election, because in two wards the time was
extended, Gen Schofeld elbows that such
proceeding was sanctioned by the State
laws of Virginia, which provides in like
manner for like emergencies.
The Worlds Washington special says it
is understood that the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia, in full bench,
will tomorrow render a decision sustaining
Judge Fisher in his dismissal of lawyer
Brady from the bar on the last day Of the
Surratt trial.
Gen Hancock it is understood is this
week TO assume command of the fith mill"
tary district.
