THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES.
The Virginia delegation has selected for
its chairman Hon. John B. Baldwin, OF Au-
rusta, one of her most eminent lawyers and
sneakers. This is Mr.. Baldwin's first APP
pcarance On rational theatre. lie was
l'nionist in 1860, but when war arose took
sides with his State. Hon. Thomas ). Bo-
cock, so widely known as prominent mem
her of the United States House OF Repre-
spntatives, was selected TO represent the
views of the State in respect to platform.
Mr.. Robert Y. Conrad, a prominent
Unionist in 1860, was chosen to be one OF
the vice-presdents, and Mr.. James Bar
hour. known as a skilful parliamentarian,
was pitched on to represent the state
upon the committee on organization.
There are other hardly less skilful polltl-
clans from Virginia who are not in position,
such as j. Randolph Tucker, Hon. Robert
Guild, General James L. kemper, Mr.. John
Goode, and others. In point Of fact, the
State has appointed a delegation which,
while emitting some Of her oldest ana most
widely-known statesmen, such az Hunter,
Lctcher, and others, is still able to maintain
her ancient renown.
The Virginia delegation has no money,
and are making no display. They have not
sought to impress the action OF the Conven-
ton but from an interchange of opinion,
informal, it is apparent that the preference
of the delegation is for Mr.. Pendleton.
They may vote for him on the first ballot ;
and if they do not so vote, will refrain only
for the purpose of allowing the preference
| of northern delegates to be disclosed first.
Ii is noteworthy that to-day not one of the
able Vircinians said one word-they sim
plv performed their routine duty.
North Carolina is represented by a most
| respectable delegation Of which, perhaps
| General Clingman is most conspicuous. The
| General takes matters quietly. lie prefer:
| military candidates, but his delegation are
believed to prefer Pendleton. Two OF them
are for Mr.. Chase. Ex-Governor Vance
W. n. II. Smith, and Ex-Governor Brown
| Uuiouists in 1860, are also members OF TIL!
delegation.
J Arkansas selects as her chairman Hon
| \. II. Garland, who resisted the test oatt
| for attorneys in the courts, and in whost
case the United States Supreme Court over
| threw il.
General Clanton, man of great energy
force, and intelligence, is chairman Of tint
Alabama delegation.
General Steadman, late of the United
| States army, and warm Hancock man, il
prominent in the Louisiana delegation.
General Gordon is most prominent anon!
the GeorgiaDs. He is slender, spare man
very quiet and unostenta tious, but is re
ported to be gentleman of decided ability
and is the idol of Georgia. There are seve
| raj Cnase men, it is believed, in the dele
| CATION.
Kentucky has strong delegation il
character, ability, experience, and person
mel. Hon. j ohm W. Stevenson, Hon Williar
C. Preston, and Hon. L. H. Stanton ar
most conspicuous. With one or two excep
tons, Pendleton has no warmer friends i
the Convention.
