ALBANY, June :, l.69.
Editor Of TIE Ersnsng Star: The Natronal
Typographical Union resumed its session in
the Assembly Room, at the State Capitol, at
nine O'Clock, pursuant TO adjournment The
committee, TO whom had been referred the cre-
deniials Of the proxy delegates, rsported that
no evidence had been adduced 70 prove the in =
validity OF the credentials and therefore recon-
Tended their admission. Great surprise was
sNiaced At the character Of the report and some
rehections were indCl lged in, because IL was
supposed that the committee had not exercised
due diligence in the latter. IL seems. how
ever. that the comm. .ttee were not so much 10
blame as the parties who possessed infcrmg-
uon bearing on the case and failed 20 report the
same.
After considerable skjrmisning a resolution
was introduced by MIR. Conklin, of New YORK.
declaring Invalid the credentials OF Messrs
James A. Harris, VIM. Irvine. X Mckee hnis,
u T. Cater, William Turner John Hart, n
l'eehr, L. j. Washburre and Cornell us HalIo-
ran, and that they had no right to seats IN the
Convention, which, after considerable deodt-.
was adopted. So, after q long struggle, tha
proxy delegates were ousted-
A recess was taker, and the delegates Were
grouped upon the steps Of the Capitol, where 4
ph hotograph was taken by Churchill Il DenHs-
son, artists, OF this city.
Several invitations to visit places OF note
were received and accepted.
ne ConVentlOn adjourned At one o cl &C X,
and repaired TO StanwIx Hall for dinner: a'tar
which, trip TO Troy by steamboat was il =
aulged in under the auspices Of the Ibany
Union. The trip was q pleasant one, there
being line band of music on board. and the
mem bers OF the Albany Union were untriug in
Relr efforts to enhance the pleas ures of the o. :
caslon. The Troy prI nters turned out in a
BODY, and gave the deleg ate a hearty greeting
handsomely entertaining them, aud showing
them the beauties of the city. A view from Ida
Hall, a prominent eminence, presented one of
the finest landscapes ever beheld. and was
much admired.
