snubbed OUT Her letter asking TO be heard
before the convention was received with
great laughter, and, on Mr. Seymour's pro-
posing 70 refer il to the Platform Commit
tee, the conventioD tumnltuously demanded
its reading. The reading was accompanied
by uproarious laughter and cheering, and
thereupon Susan, instead of being invited
TO the platform, was referred to the Plat
form Committee and 80 suppressed. =. ,f
The next Indication Of the temper Of the
convention was the reception of the Ten
nessee resolution indorsing johnson Less
than a fourth of the delegates, and scarcely
a proportion ia the galleries appiand4d,
but they made up in volume what they
lacked in numbers, and made Tammany
ring with cheers in honor Of the uncon-
victsd President.
Soon afterward resolution rendering
thanks TO Chase for his conduct ON the i'm
parchment trial was read. The moment
his name was mentioned applause broke
out all over the hall, which, for some time,
drowned out the voice OF the clerk. He
was interrupted once or twice more 10 the
reading by renewed applause. Atthe close
it broke out again, died away, was then re-
newed, and finally broke out once more be-
fore Seymour could announce its reference
to the committee. The applause seemed
more evenly distributed over the hall than
in any Of the previous demonstrations.

New YORK, July THE effort to-mor-
row will be to beat Pendleton, whose
friends say that there will be detection Of
Hendricks people. The former are furi-
Gus, and swear that they are on the alert,
and are determined to sign a death war
rant to any deserier, and this is how they
stigmatize Hendricks.
The Southern men after all are likely to
solve the problem. They will decide the
contest with great delicscy and good judg-
ment. They have refused to commit them
selves to any one, but will not go to North
ern Democrats. They are being sounded
on all issues, and are equal 10 all response
bilities.
New York is for Hendricks, bat they
won't be drawn ont without they are sure
Of their game.
The contest will soon be concluded. 1t
is certainly between Hendricks and Han
cock.
At the close of the nights labors Gen.
Buckner addressed the Soldiers Conven-
ton, who greeted him with rounds OF APP
plause.
The third days proceedings gives no in

it seems certain that Pendletoh cannot re-
/ ceiVe the nomination. 1t is even doubtful
if he can get majority vote instead Of two.
thirds. There are votes held in reserve to
be cast for him at the opportune moment,
but that period will not arrive. Outside
of those devoted to his interests, he is held
to be beaten. His friends mistrnst the In
diana delegation, who consulted, after the
fourth ballot, on the proprieiy of casting
their vote for Hendricks, whose name had
been balloted for. They finally determined
to sustain Pendleton, bat when Hendricks
shall become formidable, the delegation
must go for him. If that break is made
Pendleton's chances are gone. In that
event much of his support will be thrown
| for Hancock. Hancock or Hendricks are
thought to have the best chances, but eau
cussing has already begun and there is nc
telling what tonight may bring forth.
Correspondence of the Louisville Journal
New YORK, July IA general review
OF the situation, now that the contest of the
day is over and men have discussed the
relative prospects of each candidate, dis
| closes the fact that Pendeton's friends are
disappointed at the result. They had cal
| culated upon one hundred and twenty votes
on the first ballot, with gradual increase
up TO hundred and eighty on the fourth
or fifty ballot.
Instead, they find only a hundred and
twenty-five votes for him at the end of the
sixth ballot, with the indications that nearly
| his whole strength has been secured for al
though, should johnson be dropped and
4 Tennessee wheel into line for Pendleton, il
is quite apparent that considerable mum
Der of the Indiana delegation are ready to
drop him, for whom they have hitherto
voted as a unit.
There is no Disgusting the fact that there
is a very determined opposition to Pendle-
tOn and that sooner than see him nomi-
mated New York, Pennsylvania and few
other States would drop their particular
candidates and unite upon one who would
be likely to distance young Greenbacks.
Gen. Hancock has gained steadily from
the first ballot, and his friends tonight are
quite sanguine that his nomination will be
| secured tomorrow. ssF -w.-..rg
There was more bUisterous enthusiasm
over Andrew Johnson's name than that Of
any other candidate, and this, in connec-
ton with the fact that he received such a
handsome vote on the first ballot, suggested
a reasonable chance for his nomination on
the last ballot However, he was down to
tWenty-one, which augurs very poorly for
his success. ar.-... 4. .....
Some of the candidates which who voted
for to-day will undoubtedly be Withdrawn
tomorrow. Chase's name was not pre-
scented at all, but it is likely it may come
before the convention to morrow, but there
is no probability that he will be nominated.
Should New York and Pennsylvania
wheel into line for Hancock, as is not i'm
probable, his nomination would be reason
bly, certain. Shonld Pendleton's friends
decide tomorrow that they cannot be sue
cessful, it is said that Hendricks is tn cir
second choice, and il would practically
leave Che tight between that gentleman and
Hancock, with the chances of SUCCESS in
favor of the latter; still, it is impossible to
surmise what tomorrow may develop, as q
new move may be presented. @ "
