acted Session.

The Convention called to revise the
Radical Legislative ticket for Richmond
and Henrico met in the hall Of the House
of Delegates on yesterday. @
AT 'half-past Il O'Clock the Convention
was called to order by Joseph NJ. Hum
phreys. s5. .'.E-,'''i&a :<1 f'@
Mr.. Bailey, the secretary Of the last con-
vention, offered his resignation, and there
upon some one nominated young Hobson,
the barber. - se~s4 .''..
Hobson came up smiling, but said that as
he was not well, and would have to be run
ming in and out all day, he begged to de-
cline. He would nominate Mr. Gillie, of
tho State JOurndt.
Mr.. Gillis also declined, and George s.
Richards (white) was then elected.
ABOUT CREDENTIALS. ....
Mr.. Gillis moved the appointment of
committee, consisting of one from each
ward and magisterial dirtrict, to receive
and report upon credentials. r-.r...
Abe Hall( country darky) wished it
understood that this was @ rc-assembling
of the old, not a new, convention. He had
his old credentials and none other. Of.
A gray-haired Methusaleh, wearing an
old green silk coat split all the way down
the back, tried to get in n word agreeing
with Hall, but his colleague major Anna
ble) pulled him down. .g..-- = .
Philip Green (negro) insisted upon Halls
point. So did negro named Bowe, who
said that he had reported to his ward, but
didn't know exactly how she stood about
new ticket. ....s.~. ... ...
Methusaleh again struggled to get a hear
ing. .. raE
Kennedy, Of the county: You amt no
delegate. .--: ..'.. .s. .a.
Methusaleh: No; nur you nuther. Here's
my crudensbals. ..E. r0s
Mr.. Gillis called these fellows to order.
Aplantation hand, whose open check shirt
showed about ten square inches of bacon
colored skin, moved that the names of the
old delegates be called over.
Five negroes rose at once to points of order
of various kinds.
Humphreys stated for the information of
the Convention that three of the wards in
the city and all of the districts of the
county had voted for q new convention.
Kennedy, of Henrico, said that Hum
phreys was mistaken; but Humphreys,
being in the chair, ruled him out of order.
Green, of Richmond: We must recon-
slider de convention whar took place. Dye
hear dat? .".
Hobson, the barber, in order to "expe-
diate Matters" moved the previous ques
ton; which being ordered, the motion Of
Mr.. Gillis was carried.
The Chair appointed the following COM
mittee: B. W. Gillis, Jones, Coleman, Tall,
Bowe, Vaughan, and Johnson several of
whom are negroes. ."s.-
WILLING AWAY THE TIME.
The committee retired, and in the mean
time the Convention was edited by several
speeches. .....-.
Peter Fox, whose physiognomy is q
very counterpart of DR.. Bayne's, and who
has the additional personal beauty of a
dwarfed statue, made rousing speech
claiming that the colored man should be
represented in the Legislature as much as
the Irishman, the Dutchman, and the Vir-
ginian. He was going to have a good ticket
if he had to stay here until the rising of
to-morrow's sun-yea, even to the going
down thereof. We must have ticket that
will add strength and virtue to the Repub-
lican party of the State Of Richmond.
Anderson, another negro, wanted to know
if Fox meant that men with black faces
were not Virginians.
Fox said that he meant no such thing,
and Anderson continued to speak. He
wanted fatform that cannot be shooken,
and ticket irrespectful of color. ....
+ FORGED CREDENTIALS. w. e.
Mr.. Gillis, from the Committee on Gre
dentials, then presented the report.
A motion for its adoption being before the
Convention, Hall (negro), of the third
magisterial district of Henrico, claimed to
be the real delegate. He had been sent to
the first convention, and there had been no
meeting since. The persons who had been
favored by the committee had brought in
forged credentials. t~s~ sos
This protest was overruled, and the re-
port of the committee adopted.
Kennedy (negro), from the fourth dis
trict, said his constituents had sent no dele
gates because they propose to stand by the
nominees of the first convention.
GOING TO WORK. 49,.
Mr.. Gillis moved that committee of two
from each ward and one from each magis-
terial district be appointed to prepare bust
ness for the Convention and to confer with
the persons recently nominated for the SEN
ate and House of Delegates. ...
Hobson said that some of the persons
nominated could not be conferred with to-
day, as they were engaged in the great
parade now going on in the streets.
'~s LITTLE OVERSIGHT. ..
At this iuncture it was discovered that
there was no permanent chairman. So MIR.
Gillis's motion was withdrawn, and Hum
phreys was nominated, voted on, and de-
clared elected. .......s..- Fl .n....r
s.. THE FOURTH DISTRICT. ,.s.s IA.
Green moved that Carter, Hail. and
Wallace (negroes), be received as delegates
from the fourth district.
Methusalch said that neither of them
lived in that deestrick." E.
Mr.. Gillis moved as substitute that this
fourth district business be referred to q
committee consisting of one from each OF
the other districts. aF, ,.r..gs o.. zez,,... =
Bowe (negro) complained that there was
so much noise that she couldn't hear his
ears" He wanted sergeant-at-arms. m
The substitute of Mr.. Gillis was then
adopted, and Johnson, Bass, and White (ne-
'groes), appointed on the committee. :.
Edwin Fox (negro) was then appointed
sergeant-at-arms for the qualification Of
Bowe. .-......f s.as rr. gssr
After an absence of about ten minutes,
