FROM RICHMOND.

RICHMOND, August l.
The Republican Convention met this fore.
noou. About 5000 persons were present,
nearly all blacks. The African church being
opened, was Immediately filled. and . motion
was made to adjourn to the Capitol square,
which was carried. After arriving there
Mr.. Hunsucker, of Alexandra, was appoint
of the same place temporary Secretary. A re.
cess was taken to appoint . Committee to
report on permanent officers
During recess several short speeches were
made relative to the course Of John Minor
Bolts and his clique. By hand-bills Bolts
was denounced as desiring to make. the Re-
publican party OF the State subservient to his
own party or break it up. There were loud
cries for Bolts, and q proposition to invite
him to explain his position, but failed. Rev.
Mr. Given made IN address, and the Con-
vention formally re assembled. About ?.
NJ. the Committee on permanent organization
reported in favor of appointing all the old
officers of the April Convention, and recoms
mended that the platform of that Convention
be adopted. The report was adopted, and
John Hunkhurst was appointed permanent
Chairman of the Convention. The resolu-
ton recommending the platform gave rise to
considerable discussion. Mr.. Butts, of Nor
folk, said if the Convention, which was term
ed mass meeting, adopted the platform, it
would have nothing to do but to go home.
Ifthey idthat then the meeting held by the
other wing, calling itself Convention, would
remain in session two ar three days, adopt
platform, appoint a Central Committee, and
the Republicans would go into the election
with two par ties, which would be ruinous.
Hunnicut advised to adjourn till to morrow
to give the other wing, who had not attended
this Convention, time to come in. If they
refused to come in, then the blame would be
on themselves.
Several motions were made to adjourn and
failed. Great confusion reigned around the
Speakers stand.
Baker and Sterling-both white-attempt>
ed to address the meeting Baker declared
he would speak as the meeting had adjourned,
and Sterling taking the opposite. The col
ored sergeant at arms seized Baker to put
him off, and row seemed imminent.
The platform was adopted without dis.
senting voice, and the meeting was declared
adjourned till TO morrow morning.

Painful Accident,

We lear that on Wednesday last, the
I'd inst, Mr.. Albert G. Negley, late of
this place, met with an accident which
may copfne him for some time. He was
at the coal works of his brother, Felix q.
Negley, with which he has become con !,
neetes, and situate near Mansfield,
short distance below Pittsburgh, on the
south side OF the Ohio river, aud, it seems,
was walking up the side walk of the trus-
tie work on which the coal cars run, when
a plank or board on which he was passing
over, slipped from the cross beam or brace
on which it rested, and he fell down a
distance of some twenty feet. No limbs
or boneo were broken, but he is sprained
or iniuredin the back so as to make pow
erless the use OF his lower limbs. We
hope, however, soon to bear of mis- recov>
cry. His many friends here will be glad
