mAUP FROM YOUNG.

from Pocahontas, wanted a Committee
apoointed to ascertain who dictsted the
Committees that had been read.
AFLAsH FROM FERGUSON. ~
Ferguson had no doubt the whole
proceeding was perfectly legitimate

THE CHAIR CHURLIsH. 't
The Chair explained that the ap-
pointment of the Committees was by
virtue of the authority vested in him
by the Convention.
Edwards, of Marshall, was about to
diversity the proceedings with "a few
common-sense explanations when New
lin interrupted him with a volley of
gasconade that ratified like peas from a
pop guu. DR.. Boughner followed with a
mumbled deliyerauce, about as intelli-
gible as any other quack prescription.

and said that he didn't want to partici-
pate in the interesting discussion, but
merely to suggest that it might net be
necessary to furnish our friends (mean-
ing REGISTER reporter) with any more
more material than was essential to o
graphic and entertaining report. He
was satisfied of their willingness to do
the fullest justice to the scene before
them, and he suggested that the Con-
vention consider the impropriety of fur

A STEAK FROM STEERE.
a creature named Steere, estray from
some Peasants county bull-pasture,
proceeded to show that though too
young to deserve his title, lie was in the
direct line OF promotion. He opened
his calf-skip inst under his nose, aud
said that he was in favor of securing
Iunanimity and satisfaction in the Con
vention even at the sacrifice of deco
rum and parliamentary law. Let them
say what they might, the reports would
be as scurrilous as possible anyhow.
Half dozen voices cried to the re-
porter in question, that this bovine was
"Steere from Peasants" and asked that
he be remembered. At their request he
has not been forgotten.
ARE WE A MORT
The &ewlin nuisance here put i'll an
other appearance to inquire whether
the Convention was mobH He had
evidently so regarded it, and had made
himself perfectly at home. But he had
set his auger too deep and the Conven-
tion was tired of him. Some cried
question others hooted, aud nearly all
became more disorderly than hereto
fore. 1t is useless to attempt a descrip-
tion of the scene. When three or four
hundred men become involved in dis
pute which not one of them understands,
but which every one determines
shall result in his own favor, the con-
fusion cannot readily be depicted. Me-
tion after motion, points of order, bitter
denunciations, muttered curses, fierce
yolls, universal lawlessness and tumult
followed, until motion to adjourn for
thirty minutes was declared adopted.
HOW TO HARMoNIzE,
Upon adjournment, Hon. B. Stanton,
of Ohio county, invited his delegation
to McManaway's, well-known drink
ing house. Mr.. Hutchinson, of Wood
unconsciously pointed Mr.. Stanton's
meaning by calling the members from
Wood county, sup to this bar" pointing
to the lawyers portion of the Court
Room. Other delegations were invited
elsewhere, and in half an hour the con-
tiicting elements were harmonized. The
result shows the moral suasion of-a
motion to adjourn.
! ANOTHER FIGHT.
1t was plain that in the interval oi
adjournment the brains and decency oi
the Convention had acquired promi'
neuce. Scalawagerie from the eastern
border was at discount upon reassen-
bling, and the delegates from the Pan
handle, the river and western railroad
cousties went to the front. An organ
ization was therefore effected, which
gave the Convention what it sadly
nee led a calm and capable President
