a Meeting of the MaIcOntents.


At College Hail a meeting of Ohio delegates
was held which comprised about One-half OF the
delegates in the Liberal Republican Convention
and which turned to be OF very stormy nature.
Judge wv. b. Sloan, of Port Clinton, was
called to the Chair. The larger number made
speeches and some of them were very denUncia-
tory and exciting, while others cOunseled mOder-
alton and consideration. Among the most
prominent were Judge HOadley, who was one OF
the Committee Resolutions. He said that
Judge Stanley Mathews, the temporary Pres-
dent, and John W. SOhn, as well as himself, had
left the Convention in disgust.
Judge Sloan said he had been an Origina |
Adams man, but there was no evidence that Mr..
Greeley and his friends had practiced a fraud
upon the Convention, and until he had such evil
dence he should adhere TO the nomination, be-
leving it was for the interest of the country that
there should be complete change in the admin
istrati0n Of the Government He cOunselled
them to be calm and considerable, and to act de-
hberately like men.
ThOs. Z. Powell, of Delaware county, said he
was dissatisfied with the nomination, but would
support the ticket
Jacob HeatOn, of COlumbiana, was dissatisfied,
but urged moderation.
Judge BrinkerhOH
said he was not to be made the victim of a choice
between two evils. Men came from Pennsylva-
MIA and New York who were as much intruders
as the Devil was when he intruded himself
among the sons Of men. They came and out
witted and OutnumbeTed them. He did not
belong to anybody now. Was not yet willing to
say he BOuld vote tor Grant, but shouldn't vote
for Greeley.
Gen. Jack Easement asked If they were not all
pleased with the platform? The other members
answered, eyes, yes."J He further inquired
if Greeley was not an honest man. What more,
then, was wanted? He (Casement) had joined
the movement and torn up his bridges behind
him. He was going to stand by the nomination.
Gen. Burnet said he now felt discouraged and
disheartened Did not think civil service reform
had anything to hope for from the hands Of such
men: Greeley was an bOnest man, progressive
and liberal in his views; yet one Of crotchets and
with no judgment of men, having in New York
political associates and friends OF class who did
not enjoy the public confidence; who were
nearly allied to Tammany corruption Though
he was deeply grieyed by the result OF to-day, he
thought they ought to maintain their Organiza-
ton for future work, and not take hasty steps Of
which they might repent in future.
Col. Ed Parrot, of Montgomery county, said
tle-e never was more shameless trade made by
men, than by Gratz Brown in this convention.
Mr.. Frey, of Clark county, said bargain and
sale was evidence.
Where is the evidence? some member asked.
In Gratz Browns speech, Mr.. Frey replied.
Mr.. Ayres, Of the 18th district, said therelhad

CINCINNATI, May 3.--Bhe nomination
of Greeley and Brown has produced great
dissatisfaction upon the part Of the Adams
men. They came here under the impress
sion That they mad sure thing Of it, AND
they are very sore under their disappointf
ment. Judge Stanley Matthews and his
friends bolt the nominations, but where are
they to go? They cannot support Grant
without stultifying themselves, and their
Liberal Republican brethren here thlnkf
they are too sensible and too patriotic to 90
anything of the kind. Perhaps they VIII
think better Of the matter in the morning,
With this single exception, the result of the
Convention is regarded with pretty genera
satisfaction by the Liberal Republicans,
while the Democrats concede that it is,
about as strong a ticket as the Convention

DEATH OF PETER Z. CoBURN.-Uur com-
munlty heard yesterday, with deep and gene
raj regret, the death Of the true man whose
name heads this paragraph. He died at his
residence in the Town of Summerville, at the
ripe age of sixty -one years and four months.
Mr.. Coburn was native Of this city, where
he was reared, and became In early life car
penter. For the last thirty-fve years he has
been in the service of the South Carolina Rail-
road, holding during the greater part OF that
time the responsible Office of superintendent.
During the presidency of Mr.. q. W. Conner,
Mr.. Coburn was presented with handsome
silver service as token of bis long and faith
full services He was for number of years
president of the Charleston Fire Engine
Company, now Hook and Ladder, No. 2.
About twenty-five years ago MIR. Coburn be-
came member OF Washington Lodge, No. s,
A. F. NJ, and steadily went up through the
highest degrees. He soon became master Of
Washington Lodge, and from year to year was
elected chairman of the haf committee. For
the past fifteen years he has held the office Of
grand marshal, and during that period has
w laetuIloeAVA SrS1 Se1SSSSA'>
grand master. He appeared in public at the
laying of the cornerstone of the new Masonic
temple, a few weeks since, and all will call to
mind his CHEEKY voice, his open countenance,
and his well-known features, as he rode
around discharging the duties OF his Office.
On Friday last he was In the city and COM
planned Of not feeling well. He went home, and,
after a short illness, expired on Wednesday af-
ternoon In the arms OF his devoted friend and
brother, the Rev. W. 8. Bowman. His re.
mains will be brought to the city this morn
ing on the train from SummerVille, and will
be met at the South Carolina Railroad Depot,
and escorted to the church OF the Rev. W. 8.
Bowman, where the funeral services will be
performed. The last request of the deceased
was that his honored friend and companion
for many years should perform the Masonic
rites over his remains at Magnolia.
Mr.. Coburn was one of those Masons whom
the fraternity regarded with especial love and
reverence for the strength, generosity and
pnrity of his character. By the general pub
lie he was likewise held In high esteem.
Peace to his ashes
