AFTERNOON SESSION.

4 -
1t 4 quarter past four O'Clock The Con-
vention was called to order by GOV. Pat
ton. The main body of the house was full
again. bat the galleries weren01 Socrowd-
ed as al the morning session.
The first motion was bs Mr.. Spratt. OF
South Carolina, who said the Convention
not being permanently organized, he
would suggest the appointment of a com
mittee on Organization. Al the conven-
ton held recently at Bristol, in this State,
and also at that OF Norfolk, no committee
on credentials was appointed. When the
Norfo4 Convention adjourned it did so
subjecSto the call of the Memphis Board
of Trade. The gentleman then went into
a lengthy and fOreible argument against
the Committee on Credentials. When he
came, he said, he had to show his creden-
tials before he could obtain a badge or
ticket, and he moved The invited guests,
and every one furnished with tickets, be
admitted 10 the door.
Gen. Chatham. of penn.. asked If visit
ors invited by the Board of Trade were
entitled TO the same privileges as del
egates. If not, what relation did
they sustain 10 the Convention? He
referred tox,those not authorized to
represent any corpOrated bodies, and
said that he understood that ten invita-
ta.ions had been issued to "a county in
liG StdJt, diiO dSkeu II tnOSC lHuS HINiCt
had the same privileges as delegates.
Gov. Isham g. Harris said that a formal
letter-of invitation was equivalent to ap-
pointing the recipient a delegate, and
moved that all those having tickets and
badges be admitted to the floor.
The motion received several seconds
and on being put to the Convention, was
unanimously carried.
IT was then moved that the Committee

unanimously, without discussion.
\ motion was offered by Mr.. las the
gentlemen failed to comply with the re
quest repeatedly made, TO announce them
when addressing the Chair, we find
it impossible to give names in many in

Of each delegation be appointed a Commit
tee on Permanent Organization.
Amember from Tennessee, who sug-
gested as an amendment, that the com
consist of three members from

ment, on being put to the Convention,
was lost.
The original motion was then carried,

Yesterday was a memorable day in the
annals or Memphis, as wellas sproud and
busy one. The DAYS and weeks of labor
and anxiety devoted by our public spirited
citizens to preparation for the great Com
mercial Convention eliminated yesterday
in q triumphant success, and the Convent
ton opened under auspices thai far ex-
ceeded the hopes and expectations OF the
most sanguine. No similar body ever
met on the American Continent under
circumstances that augured more substan-
tial beneficial results to the whole
try, or that reflected greater credit upon
all those on whom devolyed the prelimi-
nary arrangements for its convocation.
It is needless for ms to repeat how our
citizens who took the matter in hand la
bored 10 make the assembling Of this on
vention rebound to the glory and honor Of
Memphis. How well they nave succeeded
all those who Yesterday saw the long line
of delegates file through u streets, or
whowere fortunate enough tOobtain entry
TO the galleries Of the Greenl2w
Opera House, and looked down upon
the vast sea of representatives of
the various cOrporations-cOunties, cities,
towns, railroads, boards of trade, man
ufactTfring eompanies-of seventeen States
of the Union, and of the States them
selves, can answer.
