THE SENTIMENT OF DIXIE.
The Southern delegates, however, have far more
ponderous evils TO complain OF than this They
speak doefuly OF the heavy burden OF military and
negro governments combined, and to man would
vote for any candidate who could help the over
throw Of radical rule: Give us Chase, give US any
man, they say, who will accomplish this: but, for
the Lords sake, let US have no candidate with
whom there is likelihood or being beaten. This is
exactly the sentiment OF these Southern men, all ac-
counts to the contrary Notwithstanding or
course it would be Misrepresentation TO state
that they have any love for Chase, for
II things were otherwise than they are
they would trample his name and the name OF every
other such prominent republican under their feet,
but exnediency is all the world to them, while
10 the Western the cry OF principle is preferred.
WOLVES IN SLEEPS CLOTHING
Sly and sleek among The democratic crowds were
noticeable three prominent republicans OF this city
with the greenback badge OF the Ohio delegation
working eagerly for the nomination of Pendleton.
They were here and there and everywhere, but were
careful TO discriminate as TO whom they argued with
They knew their men ana talked accordingly, taking
particular pains to avoid meeting with any OF the
New York delegation. And oh how slyy they touched
on the tender parts Of the Western men, audlng
their hero and talking greenback with vengeance.
Should they follow up the game there is every reason
to apprehend that their ngorous discovery in their
assumed role will be imminent and painfully touch
ing. Some democrats found out the fact, and are
making inquiries for the gay and festive trio.
SENSIBLE TO THE LAST.
In the neighborhood OF the st. Denis Hotel party
OF prairie men from Illinois got talking and de-
claring Of their preferences.
/, "n we can't have Pendleton I'd like to see An
son Of the tree West Eyes sir, Andrew; we'd nave
no Convention to hold this year."
That's true" remarked man OF portly proper
prefer Chase, because believe only for him we'd
have no need to hold Convention at all. But for the
trial and saved johnson and kept that darned old
radical sucker, Ben Wade, out OF the White House
hike to know what chance we'd have in this cam
paign." This took as good hit; 1t was fresh and
original and as such awakened attention and made
Chase prominent ngure in that group.
THE FUN AT THE TEMPLE OF MASONRY.
In front Of Masonic Hail. where the Pendleton
semblage appeared. They crowded the steps and
entrance, and from time to time had some boisterous
impromptu speeches, swearing by Pendleton, occa-
never by Chase. New Yorker ventured in among
them ever and anon and raised the very devil by de-
mention Chase. The rashness OF the New Workers
could only be accounted for the grounds that the
day was hot and people generally in an irretrevably
bibulous humor.
GRAND cLiMACrERIo oUTBURsT FROM AN OHIO DELE
GATE.
After the Convention, about i've O'Clock in the
evening, Masonic Hall was especially galorious, and
perfect jam Of seething, thirsty delegates occupied
ITS portals The talking was done In loud key,
which might be heard at times almost as far as Tam
many Han. "I'm for Pendeton, now and for ever,

of the women and the pride OF the men, SO sung

perspration over the veXed questions OF the two

Chase that 10 required the united efforts OF four
keepers to supply the proper remedies. The emilia

nomination on the representatives from other
chopfallen the two-thrd rule, but
ewore as hard az usual and sought consolation
where 10 could be found for vigorous "holerng''
and twenty cents a drink. Illinois, Wisconsin and
all the other Western States are blessed with repre-
Gentatives who being well aware that eternal caucus
ing Is the price OF nomination, never lose an opp0r-
funity of pushing their candidate. The New England
delegations discussed the prospects in the light OF
yesterdays proceedings over hard cider, and unani-
mously agreed disagree with everybody and every
thing. The New Jersey delegation, tmade frantic
with deep draughts OF "nghtnlng burst on the
phlet urging Ex-Governor Joel Parker for the demo
cratic nomination, but with what effect could not be
ascertained.
THE DELEGATES AT EAsE-rHE CHASE STAR ASCEND
ING.
Among the psychological symptoms OF the day
must be considered the peculiar affinity existing be
tween whiskey and democratic principles. Like fire
crackers and patriotism II IL an alliance not clearly
understandable under the ordinary rules governing
attraction, but is condition OF things that must be
considered as sui gerers, the existence OF which Is
incontrovertible. Making tour through the hotels
last evening thefdelegates were found developing
this idea, minging In serious discussion bOur-
bon cocktails and sours with Pendletoni-
an and Chase theories. The ancient Latin
writer has recounted In immortal words his belief In
the elevatng tendency OF grape Juice. In rfno ret
tas exhibits almost divine inspiration but whether
the substitution OF corn for the choice fruit inva
dates the correctness Of the theorem is matter for
modern commentators to decide. However be that

several delegations last evening, imbibng boolini
beverages at their respective hotels with just sum
cient spirit TO prevent Interior deleterous effects
there was loud and animated discussion and an un
trammeed interchange OF views Much nteres
was expressed IN the action OF the New York delega
ton, which, 1t was conceded, would be almost de
ctsive in the Convention. The preference OF this
delegation for Chase was spoken Of as acknowl
