munications fell under the table.
Committee on Credentials reported the
former list of delegates correct, except
Holly Shelter, entitled to but one dele
gate, Geo. Page, and Federal Point emit
tied to Jos. Davis as alternate. Reportre-
ceiyed and adopted.
A motion was hero made by a colored
delegate from the country to adjourn, but
the chair promptly settled that by refus-

gate who was " setting on the outside"
A discussion was here had on sundry and
divers immaterial points, for which "peace
and harmony" was very generally recon-
mcnded.
A country del, gate said he had heard a
good deal Of "peas and hOmony," but
hadn't seen any.
It was moved and carried that the NOM
nation be entered into.
Joe Hill nominated, for Senator, A. Fl.
Galloway.
He was declared, by reclamation, the
choice of the Republican party Of New
Hanover county.
A letter from the Brun swick delegation
was offered, protesting against the nomi-
nation Of Senatorial candidates, except in
q Senatorial Convention, and saying they
were directed to support f. Legg as. the
joint Senatorial candidate from Bruins
wick Demonstrations of Legg were freely
INDUCED i'll.
galloway said lie would support any
good Radical from Brunswick, but would
not vote for E. Legg. He had voted to
exclude colored people from riding in the
cars with whites. and said that his wife
should not ride with colored women. He
would let Mr.. Legg know that bis wife was
as pure and virtuous as Legg's. Galloway
denied the report OF his threatening to
burn the houses of Democrats, and being
put in the guard house at Raleigh, and a
mass OF things in his peculiarly modest
style.
For tho House of Representatives the
following names were proposed G.. W.
Price, G.. L. MADISON, S. V. Larkins, ".
Ii. Moore, J. s. ". Eagles, Jno. Sampson,
Stephen Keyes, d. G. Dayis, Allan Evans,
and Alfred Lloyd.
An informal vote was taken as follows,
viz Price d 4; MADISON % (; Eagles II ;
Sampson "a ; McLaurin 10; Larkins H.;
Davis II Reyes 10; Moore 2; Allan
Evans !; Lloyd Wingate l.
Upon motion, it was resolved that the
three names having received the highest
number of votes be declared the nominees
for the House of Representatives.
This dominates MADISON, Price and Samp-
son.
An informal ballot for Sheriff resulted as
follows Burney % I; Schenck 81.
The announcement of this vote aroused
the greatest excitement. Wild cheers from
Burney's adherents, and groans and misses
from Schenck's friends filed the house.
Price moved that Burney be nominated
by acclamation.
Cries of Ono, no." from Schenck'S men
cheers from Burney's party.
Price advocated his motion at length
French opposed it.
Rourke moved to lay the whole matter
on the table. Carried-no one therefore
nominated.
The Schenck party got this unlocked
for advantage by the bungling stupidity
of Rourke and the clever shrewdness of
Galloway. In the various tilts between
Price and Gizzard French, this was the
only ono in which the latter was not
worsted.
Such confusion here took place that
nothing could be ascertaiued. motion
was made to adjourn.
Just here Larkins was taken out, very
drunk, by the police.
The Secretary called the roll, the vote
standing ayes 81, nays %.
Price again moved to declare Owen

The railing having been cleared at this
point, by order of the Chair, Price moved

could not understand.
Just here there being much confusion,

Barney would be at Zero" if dey did mt
