Cries Of question redoubled, and repeated
! 81. d. Ogden-Sit down, gentlemen.
/ Nothing can be transacted unless you take
! your seats Ia throng Of delegates on the
/ fooll.
| The secretary began the call of the roll of
| parishes, and the progress Of the call
showed cOnclusively how the question was
divided. 1t appears delegates were bound
by instructions. Some abstained from
voting at all on the ground that there were
instructions to vote against nominations.
difference occurred as to the way in
which the vote of st. Landry was to be
cast Mr.. Estelette insisted on it that, ac-
cording to resolution passed, the vote
should be cast as a unit, majority to de
eide. DR.. Taylor insisted on it no such
resolution was passed. This was cOrrobo-
rated by Mr.. Gardner. The statements
were interrupted by cries of divide the
vote, divide the vote" The difference was
adjusted by the delegation retiring to con-
suit upon and settle it. While st. Landry
was out communications were read, am ong
Others Fat denial on the part of Z. North
CUllOm, chairman of the committee Of the
Liberal Republican party, that the com
mittee had ever authorized anv statement
to be made to place Governor Warmoth at
the head Of the ticket, or the names Uf any
other.
Mr. Mccall stated there was no necessity
for the denial, as it was expressly seated
the communication was made unufficlally.
1t was announced that the vote of st.
Landry stood seven for the report, and
four against, and as the parish was entitled
to sixteen votes, the remainder (tive) should
be divided in this proportion. While the
secretary was figuring this up, other
changes were made, and appeals to the
house, especially on the part of delegates
from East Feliciana, who, being instructed
to take no part in nominations, were at a loss
how to proceed. The parish finally voted
no.
The secretary now reads out the votes of
each parish. The immense throng awaits
the result in breathless expectation.
The chair (Mr. Pughl reads out the re-
suit, yeas l26 l6, nays l47 7-l2, when a
loud cheer rolls upward, followed immedi-
ately afterward by a dead silence on the
left and more animation On the right.
John N. Sandidge tplacidly)-We have
now reached a point just where we were be-
fore, six weeks ago. Hence, l offer the fol
lowing resolutions:
ReSGlted. That in view of the possible, if
not probable, action Of the Democratic party
at the approaching Baltimore convention,
in declining to nominate a third candidate
for the Presidency, and Of the Endorsement
of the Cincinnati movement, the present
Executive Committee OF the Democratic
party of Louisiana is instructed to call a
new convention, to be held at Baton Rouge
on the first Monday of September, in which
all the elements Of opposition to General
Grant are invited TO participate, and State
ticket will be nominated, and that this con-
veDtiOn do now adjourn sine die.
Judge Hunt (furiOusly)-Ihis is an insult
Carlton Hunt-I rise to point OF order.
1t is this pointing slow, removing finger
aJ Mr.. John NJ. Saudidgel: l claim that the
gentleman can rot stanG On the floor when
lie offers the resolution, stand when other
motions are made, when speeches are made,
and then claim the floor.
Judge HULt-Certainly he can not.
Carlton HUnt-Is my point well taken!
The chair-It is not sir Silence.
Cries of no. yes. call the roll.
Mr.. NickliEe-I move 70 lay that on the
table.
The chair (seeing some members on the
1oor trying TO speak, Is not debatable. |
Mr. NcCranie-Is the future convention !
to be a Democratic convention Cries Of |

BIr. Kelley very decisivelyJ-I wish to
amend the resolution hy admitting the |
friends Of General Grant in that cOnven- |
ton.
The roll is called On tie sine die resoIu-

THE DOGS DEAD.
MANY members who would have been IN !
favor Of an adjournment sine die we're not /
willing to open the doors SO wide. and |
hence voted against the resolution. 1t APP |
pearCd this sentiment prevailed, and very
soon all hope that the door would be left |
open fer combinations until lhe adjourn
ment Of the Baltimore convention left the |
field clear was dispelled, and the long |
agony was over, and the dog was dead
Mr. Lott-ln the rejection Of this resOlU-
ton, we are placed precisely where we left I
of. 1 think, sir, we are IN the midst Of a
crisis; that the existence OF the Demo-
cratic party is in peril, and that if we do
not make nominations, if there is any more
delay, we viii not see the party in exist
ence. Therefore, | move We 90 into uUmi-
nations l think we can then carry the
State idecided).
Several voices clamored-"I move We 80
into nominations"
Mr.. McCaeb-I call for tie previous
question. Not entertaiued.l
Mr.. MOTrisOn-The report of the com
mlttee shows how much men may differ on
the question of combination; hence the
doors should not be Flut We must meet !
together again, and meet when we are all
fresh from the people. [Cries of "Never.']
Gentlemen who cry never, can not stop it.
The party will assemble. Does that cry
come from those whe are afraid the party
will not be in existence Are they afraid
they might cease to be Democrats in the
meantime When we come together again
think the gentlemen viii find me or some
body who represents my parish in my place,
md will in the future. Opportunity must
De given for further combinations.
Here members rose right and left on
points Of ORDER" Judge Hunt and ex-
Governor Hyams among them, the general
et of which appeared to be that the speaker
Ould not offer substitute when the pre-
'ious question was called, that be could
lot explain his reasons before the substi-
ute was offered. Mr. Morrison grew dis
saying the convention must not
xpecJ to hear from him again, as it was
yident there was disposition not to hear
i'm. This settles the business. While these |
oints were being made the convention had
DTgOtten what the point was before the
Ouse, and indeed a number of men arose !
nd talked to all points Of the compass, a
lember frantically saying, Il rise to a
ONT of order. move the point of order

faction
The resolution offered as a substitute was
similar import to the one previously re-
cted, calling for an adjournment sine die,
nd a call OF the convention to meet in the I
lture. I
The chair-The resolution is out OF order; S
,st, it is not german as a substitute to the )
OtiUn; and second, the same resolution has
st been voted down.
Nj McCaleb, with vehemence-I call for
e previous question.
