Vention' yesterday, of disappointed Office and
contract seekers, triuped up, somehow, in the
matter OF making nomination tor delegate to
Congress. Fred Boswell seems to have SUM-
posed that Il was all settled in his behalf. and
lett the city under that pleasing delusion. But
white men are mighty onsartin, and so are
Elg InJuns sometimes, and when the yotin,
commenced, 10. the individual known as the
"SioN Chief" headed the list, though he pro-
tested that he was the devoted friend of Bos-
well Finally, after a wrangie, the ssconyep-
ten adjourned for one week without making
nomination. The people of this District
must now Iemain in suspense for seven davs.
EEtil 1t Is settled whether they are to have the
honor OF voting for Mr.. Boswell or Mr.. Ordwav
or Mi Le6arnes or Mr.. \. W. Green or MI
Reddy Welsh to represent them in Compress
1he RTuthcdH suggests that Ordway is the
man Tor them to nominate, but We suspect puiIe
IN this advice. The Republican don't like ord
way very well, and probably wouldn't mind

Ettuticn j one OF the elements in the contest,

The amendments proposed are favored by the
democrats and opposed by the republicans; and
when the issue was tried in ISL, in a special
election as to whether a constitutional cow en-
ton should be called or not, the republican
party prevailed by majority of nine thousand
in the fullest vote that was ever thrown in the
state. AT the Presidential election in 1858
