THE OoNvENTEON.

Last night, when the patience Of the
Congressional Convention was utterly
exhausted, a brief speech was made by
Luke Wright, the Attorney-Genersl, in
which he stated that, as a delegate, be
had complied with the instructions Of
his constituents, and that henceforth he
would support some one who could be
nominated. 1t was not the purpose of
Shelby county either 10 defeat a DOmi-
nation, or to force one upon Others no
ie71tes uOIe1toS, and there was certainly
more than one adherent OF Greeley and
Brown in the district who could
well and willingly serve this people.
Landon c. Haynes spoke to the same
purpose, and when the convention adj
jOurned, there was evidently a very
strong disposition to make this eloquent
gentleman the candidate Of the party.
The worth of Mr.. Lacey has been at
tested by the devotion with which his
friends and the delegation from Shelby
have supported him. Ii rests with them
to name the candidate. The great body
of Colonel Lacey's friends, next after
himself, prefer Landon c. Haynes,
well known as a Tennesseean of
faultless fame and splendid genius. III
Shelby county may concur in the selec-
ton Of this gentleman, and be animated
10y the spirit illustrated in the letter of
Judge Fentress, Colonel Haynes viii be
nominated by aeclamstion, and as tri-
umphantly elected. Mr.. Laeey's friends
have adhered TO him with q tenacity
most fiattering to him and honor
able TO themselves, but nineteen
Of these have declared themselves alb
solved from obedience to the primary /
election; and since the counties other
than lsaelby agree to accept any msn
besides Dur first choice, il is very prOba-
ble that the Convention viii come to a /
speedy conclusion this morning, that
Bandon c. Haynes will be presented,
and there win he no doubt of his tri-
umphant election. The interests of the
people and Of this city override all con-
siderations Of personal ambition, and the
Convention viii be disgraced if it fail to
consult the commercial and political in
terests Of the communities represented,
bysending s sound and able adherent of
Horace Greeley to Washington.

FrOm New York Dispatches. "a =
New YORK, August - Special
dispatches from Raleigh to the
Times say that Caldwell is elected in
North Carolina by one thousand major
ity. There are as yet three counties to
be heard from. The Herdld's Raleigh
dispatch claims that the latest returns
elect MeTriman by seven hundred and
sixty-One majority, according to Demo-
cratic count, but adds that it is absolutely
impossible to decide until the official
vote is in. The Tribune says that the
returns which it has this morning give
Caldwell amajOrity of four hundred and
six, but it is not disposed to give up the
State on the present showing. 81
The following telegram was received
here this morning to President Grant:

Republican State ticket by maiorities

says that private letters received by both
parties this morning from the west make
the election of Caldwell by small ma
jority certain. Merriman comedies the
election. Counties in the west still to
be heard from are reported as giving re-
publican gains which virtually decide
the contest. There is chance for the
election of Hughes (DemOcrat) Lieuten-
ant Governor, as BrOgden (Republiean)
runs far behind his ticket. The Legis-
lature is close. The Congressinen are
five Democrats and three Republicans.

IN his presence. In order TO change the
drift OF the conversation, l threw out q
