the aisles, and everybody rushed towards
the doors.
WHITE and MoRR1ssEY lin terrible
state of excitement) "Shut that door
Shut i'll Shut it"
First voice :. "That sergeant-at-arms
didn't do his duty" ;.
Second voice: "Dat's SO; we must git
somebody dat can"
MELBOURNE: "Oh, DONE let them two
men outside beat one man."
In the mean time the door had been
closed, and Brockmeyer, a negro, and an
other white man, were standing close
against it.
Desperate efforts were made from the
outside to get in. Two negroes jumped
out of q window. Whether or not they
jumped to the ground is not known. 1t is
certain that they disappeared.
Cries of "Order! Order! Shut the
door Do they want anybody to fight
out there! Let us OUT" etc.
Presently HINES bald head protruded
through the crack he had forcibly made
between the doors despite the efforts OF
Brockmeyer and his two assistants. HINES
face was distorted in every feature, and
family could be heard the words, Let me
in!"
It was no go, however; the G1BsoNs
were behind, and it would be dangerous
move to let them in.
Suddenly motion was made to adjourn !;
which was carried. AS the doors were
opened, HINE was received into the arms
of his brethren, and was safe from the two
champions of the "defunct government"
OUTSIDE.
In. the mean time rich scene was trans
piring outside.
As Mr.. HINE went out of the door he
asked the escort Of the sergeant-at-arms,
the assistant doorkeeper, and one of the
sentinels of the Public Guard, which was
granted him. When the Messrs. GIBSON
reached the door of the hall Mr.. H1NE
had disappeared. Shortly afterwards he
reappeared with the above mentioned
guard. Mr.. E. GIBSON advanced on him.
Mr.. HINE rushed for the door, breaking
the glass in the attempt to get in. Mr..
GIBSON caught him by the collar and made
motion as though to slap his jaws, re-
marking, "Come out here, you id cow
ard" Mr.. HINE said, 81 don't recognize
the code of honor"
Mr.. GIBSON: Swell, I'll fight you fist
fight, you cowardly scoundrel."
Mr.. j. G. GIBSON: "And this guard and
myself will see that there is fair play"
Mr.. HINE: 81 don't wish to fight. As
far as am concerned, this matter has gone
far enough"
Other parley ensued, and the doors being
opened, the parties were separated.
Considerable excitement was manifested
after the adjournment of the Convention,
and it was some time before the crowd
that gathered in the rotunda was dis
persed. We have now to report, SAll
