Scraps From an Irrepressi-
bIe.S

From "Mack's' Special to the Pittsburgh Post
"MACK" was famous correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial for long
time; but as Democratic PENpLEToN-
IAN correspondent he hardly sustains
his former reputation. His charges
against all who fail to support PENDLE
Ton will hardly add to the harmony OF
! the Democratic party:
New YORK, July Gil o'clock, =. NJ.
The result of the skirmishing in the
convention is favorable to the Pendle-
ton mon, and there is 10 doubt that if
the delegates adhered to their pledges,
and represented the sentiments of the
people, Pendletou would be nominated.
From what l learn tonight, however,
| feel authorized to say that the people
will be betrayed By those in whom they
have trusted to make the nomination.
have the best authority for saying that
the Indiana delegation, notwithstand-
ing all their pledges and promises, will
desert Pendleton after very few ballots
for him. If / am not misinfermed the
bargain is already made; they will de-
sert him ostensibly in favor of Hen
dricks, bSt really in favor OF any can
didate whom the bondholders may pre-
sent. The Pendleton men feel discour'
aged tonight; they find they have to
& ight Wall street, and arc hardly equal
to the emergency. The bondholders fill
the galleries Of the Convention with
paid claquers, who attempt to overawe
the Convention. They are admitted on
forged tickets. The Pendleton men
have become so much enraged at this
performance that they talk Of offering Q
resolution to exclude all outsiders and
SPECTATORS. Others are in favor of ad-
journing the Convention to some other
time and place beyond the corrupting
influences of New York City.
Notwithstanding the decisive, dis
tinct and positive pledges made by the
Southern delegates, it has become
known to Pendleton's friends that some
of the Southern delegations are in the
market. At the suggestion of Mr.. Val.
llandigham, o conference between the
Ohio delegation and some of the lead
| ing men Of the South, will be held to-
night to ascertain how much truth
there is in these reports. 1t may be
that am mistaken, but the appear
ances tonight at eleven o'clock art
that the bondholders will succeed II
defeating the people.

The situation remains unchanged as

and will be very much disappointed i
their favorite is not nominated. The
opposition to Pendleton is becoming
more intense every hour and the effort,

be because money is stronger than prin

has been said in the papers against th'
conduct of the PendletOn men, and th'
