Ater the general clearing out Of delegates and
correspondents last night, the Gait and Louisville
hotels looked scant this morning The band stln
remained, but the leading members Of the New
Fork delegation, from beyond which State to the
Westward no delegates had come had quietly
dropped OF TO Cincinnati and homeward. They

Of the body. There were neither upon the floor
nor represented by letter nor proxy, any men Of
note except the candidates. James Lyons, Of
Richmond, is a sort OF imperial FOSSIL who presided

by the Chicago Times had been expected of
that journal by reason Of Its course the subject
for fortnight. Yet no man from Illinois Of public
prominence gave in his adhesion. G. N. Fitch ex-
United States Senator from Delaware, was retired
several years ago by the democratic party for his
opposition to Stephen A. Douglas and advocacy OF
Breckinrtdge's election. He s said to have been

Tore, not to be wondered at that an
obscure Indiana ex-Congressman by the
name Of Edgerton had nearly outballoted
the great grandson Of John Adams, and that after
the withdrawal OF O'Conor's name the whole body
was on the point Of precipltately standing up for
the Presidency the obscurer brothern-law of Henry
A. Wise. The news from Vermont made more effect
among the Baltimore Convention democrats than
the transactions Of the Louisville boilers. It
deepened an impression that the Pendleton con.
