SCENES AMONG THE DELEGATES

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 4, 1872.
Until four O'Clock to-day the straight-out Con.
yention might have been said to have achieved q
lair degree Of success. Its candidates were gen.
orally remarked to be superior to either Greeley
and Brown, or Grant and Wilson, In point Of
head, character, personal stature and name
sit is the best ticket in the field" said several
f.whether it get votes or no." The native Ken
lucky and Louisville people, who had been getting
up good deal of bad blood against the promoters
Of the movement, and who are fercely for Greeley,
even to the point of fighting for him, felt really
SENSE OF DEPRESSION
when O'ConOr was nominated. How many just
ard Catholic votes can he get in the North9 was
the anxious inquiry. To see John Quincy Adams
desert the South and give the dignity Of his name
10 Duncan's division sent q feeling of almost ap-
parent despair to these people. 1t looked as If the
Bourbons had engaged the services of two able
people, and meant to drive Greeley to the wall At
four O'Clock however, in the midst of the counsels
Of the straight-outs when everything looked glow.
Ing and benignant,
THE BRIEF AND POSITIVE TELEaRAPHIc DESPATCH
OF O'CONOR Z
was precipitated and anger, modification and
paths followed. 1t was seen at once that this emf
pent lawyers name had given the Convention al
the dimension 1t had assumed. With his name and
candidacy 1t might have reasonable vitality, but
without them nothing. 1t was merely Duncan's
collection Of small folks, with the brother-inaw Of
Henry A. Wise garrulously filing the chair apd
Brick P9meroy the ONCE Of editor Of the menagerie
Ind nothing ever collapsed SO suddenly. 1 ssS
REGENERATION AND REBUKE Followed,
O'COn0r was put under the light OF keen and
emarting criticism, and old Mr.. Lyons, Chauncey
Burr, Mr.. Beekman, Of New York, and others
showed as much temper over his detection as
Buckingham laid pretence to when the modest
Gloster declined the crown, The mere spectators
then began to look back over the mornings work,
md by process OF disilusioning as instantaneous
rs the delegates had shown, proceeded to pooh
pooh about the work which had been abandoned.
Duncan became the subject Of laughter, Mr.. Lyons
of jess and gbes, General Grant and Wilson of
tlolence. The Greeley cause took wings and re.
covered proportions. Mr., O'C0nor had blown
down the house Of cards he had constructed, and
there were sad remarks, such as,
"Wel, Jack Adams is left suspended to nothing,
LIKE MoHAMMED's COFFIN"
"They turned out Train too soon," said another,
sand may need him for their candidate"
Train was in great glee when he heard of O'Con-
Or's declination, and being told that he had now

I The person to seize the occasion first and en-.
deavOr to rescue dignity from ridicue was Moreau,
OF Indiana. He is small, wiry, black
eyed man, of good oratorical parts, gu.
periOr appearance to the majority of those
around him, and some power of making
enthusiasm. He declared that the New York dele.
cation had shown no sense of management and,
after letting O'Conor make his own platform, &C.,
had failed to secure him. He moved that Mr..
Lyons, of Virginia, be the nominee, and by the
vigor Of his remarks and the safety and disgust all
