NEW YORK, Sept. 9s.
Special accounts represent that tn

report says that when the delegates gath
cred at the hall they found the door
barred, bOlted and guarded by several pO
liccmen. A cry was at once set up tina

When the door was opened, ut halt.past
eleven o'clock; rush commenced, which
was met from the inside Chairs and
table-legs were freely used by the de.
tenders, and fists and canes by tho attack
ing party. At last one of the latter drew
apiStol, but before he could use 1t he was
leied to the floor by blow from the
back Of one Of tho iron seats, lay.

There was much surprise last night
among GrGClCy's adhGrents In this city, at
tho COURSE taken by the Convention.
Expressions OF dissatisfaction at the Ii.
midity shown by the Greeley. Fenton dele.
cations were very general. 1t Is believed
they would have defeated the COnkling
party had they acted with becoming
hOldness. F'l."
The 7riJuHe editorially says that the
chairman Of the Convention, White, used
his position in the narrowGst and most
unfair manner, packing committees OK.
rlusively with the COnkling Custom
House interest, giving only two out Of
fourteen members of tho Committee on
Credentials to the wing Of the party
which voted against him, which lacked
only fifteen majority. The regular dele.
gates, itadds, were obliged to Withdraw
after the accusation speech Of Conkling.
1t thinks that the Custom House clique
care nothing for the success Of the State
or the nation, In comparison with the
accomplishment of their own sOrdid and
selfish schemes.
