New YORK, July 5, 1868.
The weather is oppressively hot to-
day, and delegates are moving about as
little as possible. TIE excise law is
not very strongly enforced, yet there is
very little dissipation, and nothing like
Z bad order or indecorum is visible in the
streets or at the hotels.
Cauvassing is brisk. Nearly every
, delegation has held meeting since the
adjournment yesterday, for the purpose
of comparing notes on the question of
!. the candidates.
: SENATOR THURMAN MADE A DELEGATE.
very important meeting of the Ohio
: delegation was held this morning.
J Washington Mclean resigned as del
egate from the State at large, and
Judge Thurman was appointed, in his
stead. Mclean wan ted to do this yes
terday, because he believed that he
could do better service for Pendleton,
and he would be free to move and act
among all the delegates, than If CON-
PEELED to sit with his State delegates.
OTHER DISTINGUISHED OHIoIANS AP-
POINTED.
Thereupon Joseph C.. Butler, Gran
Vile w. Stokes, jeremiah Williams and
John ii. Blose followed his example,
and the following gentlemen were i'm
mediately elected to fill vacancies thus
created: Clement l.. Vallandigham, ex-
i Senator George f. Pugh, Judge Hugh
J. Jewett and General Geo. w. Morgan.
This was done to strengthen the dele
CATION, and it makes it the strongest
and most influential i'll the Convention.
The designations were voluntary and
the appointments unasked. VallaHdig-
ham will now work earnestly and zeal
ously for Pendleton under the instruc
tion of the State Convention.
At the same meeting of the delegation
n committee was appointed to visit the
other State delegations and make an
accurate assessment Of Pendleton's
strength.
| ILLINOIS FOR PENDLETON.
The Illinois delegation held meet
ing last evening, and resolved, with
great unanimity, to vote for PendletOn
rs long as Ohio does. which, from pres
ent appearances, will be for three days
at any rate, if not sooner successful. l
am assured, on good authority, that if
six votes will nominate Pendleton, Con-
necticut will give them, but the Con-
necticut delegation will vote in the
meantime, how, / cannot ascertain.
They are disposed to compliment Eng
lish.
Thomas Seymour telegraphed to his
friends here to stand by Pendleton to
the last, as the strongest and best caH-
didate that can be presented.
NEW YORK GAsCoNADE AND GOLD.
The editor of the Columbus Crisis was
informed to day, by proMinent New
York politician, that New York would
resist Pendleton's nomination to the
very last, and that if he was nominated
the leading Democrats of the State
would do their utmost to defeat him.
The following appears in Ben. Woods
paper to-day: Tile influence on Wall
street has commenced the work of buy
ing delegates. A portion of the Wis
consin delegation has been bribed to
vote against Pendleton. 1t is the in
tention of these mon:ed men to cruelty
Mr.. Pendleton. Between the theories
of Bondholders and Republicans the
public shall soon know who of the dele
gates have been bought and the amohnt
paid tor each.'

CATION last evening, action was taken
which indicated opposition to Pendle-
ton. 1t is said that resolution in fa-
vor of PendletOn was defeated by a
vote of seven against nine.
TIE SOUTH FOR PENDLEToN.
A meeting of all the Southern dele
gates was held last night, and it was
agreed that Pendleton was the best
man aud the first choice of the South
ern delegations, who will gradually
come to his support, and before the
fifth ballot he will have the South as
unit in his favor. This, think, may be
relied upon.
PENNSYLVANIA WAITING FOR A BID.
Pennsylvania is still doubtful, and
there are many rumors that she is open
to bid. Bigler is working against
Pendleton; the only reason he has
against PeEdlcton, is, that he is too
Young, and can afford to wait. Bigler
was to control the balance Of the power,
consisting of less than half q dozen in
the delegation.
The vote must be cast as unit, under
instructions, which neutralizes the
power of the nineteen or twenty zeal
Gus Pendleton men in the delegation.
The New York ring have been follow
ing close upon the heels of the Pennsyl
vania delegates since their arrival, and
have been rendering them hospitalities
and favors of all kinds, all of which are
paid for in Wall street.
CHASE PLAYED OUT.
Chase seems to have disappeared from
the list of candidates. The opposition
to Pendleton either has no candidate to
unite upon or has succeeded admirably
in keeping him from the public gaze.
They cannot agree upon Hendricks OF
Hancock, and still less upon Andy John
son.
PESDLETON MEN CONFIDENT.
A sub committee of the Ohio delega-
tion which has been at work through
ont the day, and has sounded all the
other delegations, held meeting to-
night at the Fifth avenue to report.
The results Of their investigations, ac-
cording to their own staten ents, are
positive enough to place firmer conf
dence than they have felt for any time
} during two days past, that Pendleton
will succeed. They claim for HIM on
the first ballet one hundred and twenty
Northern votes, leaving New Jersey,
: Pennsylvania and Connecticut out en-
tirely. On the third ballot they hope
to get New Jersey and Connecticut, and
|, also feel sure of a majority Of the South
/ ern States. They expect to nominate
f Pendletsu on the Gfth ballot. They
t will attempt to carry q proposition to
. 90 on with balloting at once tomorrow,
I ! If the committee on Resolutions is not
| ready to report. If the committee is
! prepared. they will advocate adopting
| the platform first.
The following is the subcommittee
appointed by the General Committee
on Resolutions: Edward Avery, Nassa-
. chusetts; Henry c. Murphy, New York;
F. W. Hughes, Pennsylvania; Thomas
| V;r-;,,io. Tasanh MaIl0n-
