The delegates again met at seven o'clock
in the evening, and committee was APP
pointed to wait upon the President of the
State Central Committee, for the purpose of
the means Of obtaining admission to the

the committee:
TUESDAY EVENING Aaugust 8, 1871.
To the Delegates to the Republican state Couven-
S ton:
GENTLEMEN-The undersigned committee
waited upon S. b. Packard, president OF
the State Committee, and presented to him
a list OF those who signed the protest this
day. We asked for tickets Of admission to
the convention in their names. We were
told by Mr.. Packard that he would only
deliver such tickets to the delegates in
person, and said that they lthe committeeI
would admit TO the convention only those
who had filed credentials with him; that
no one else would be admitted to the
Customhouse. He said that the building
would be under charge of his deputy
and while they would not be
stationed in the courtroom, they would
be used to put down all disturbances
in the building, and that no police
or State militia would be permitted
under any circumstances 10 enter
the building; and if any such efforts were
made by any parties TO whom tickets were
not issued, the attempt would be resisted by
force, and the responsibility for any harm
would be upon those making the attempt.
He said that this course had not been re-
solved upon without the fullest advice and
sanction of the highest authority. He said
that in case of any disturbance his mar
shals could enter the convention.
We asked Mr.. Packard when these tickets
would be delivered. He said that notice
would be giyen-that it would be tomorrow
1t eight, nine, ten, or twelve o'clock.

house conspiracy, and who controlled the
committee. As last step before repudi-
,ting the pretensions of the usurpers and
asserting our rightful authority, and as a
asst effort to give them an opportunity to
retrieve their false steps, and to allow the
to meet and control its own de-
lberatons in peaceful and regular manner,
We, on the morning of the ninth of Au-
sust, at eleven o'clock, went in body to
he Cnstomhouse. headed by Governor
Narmoth, himself a delegate. Arriving
here we found the doors closed and barred.
On presenting our tickets we were admitted

nsolence, fiourished them in our faces. and

IN reaching the rotunda OF the building, we
vere confronted by two companies of United

hose files we dreaded our. way towards the
COR of the courtroom, designated as the
