SECOND Pow-wow.-On Saturday last
was held second nominating Convention,
composed Of those who are satisfied and
those dissatisfied with the first nomination.
Il was mass-meeting it met early and sat
late, and while the brass band in attendance
played. the fierce passion and strife which
filled tbe breasts Of both parties, was some
what Smothercd. But in time the band ran
through its catalogue of airs and left the
scene. When the last expiring note died
away, and the magic influence was lost,
Pandemonium was opened, with scenes from
Dantc's Inferno We dare not attempt re-
port nor can VIC give description Of the
imbroglio. We doubt whether forty Phia-
delphia shorthand swiItS could do it. Kirk
held forth to crowd outside the courthouse
while the complacent chairman within rap
ped forty or more orators down, whose gcsti-
cu!ations, movements, oaths and epithctS
are possibly only paralIeled by the diScmho-
died spirits OF hostile men who reach hades
together from the din of battlefield. Nc
yer before did we see such q picture ofintenSe
unmiGgated diS st as that expressed on
the countcnancc 0: 4 delegate who sat cross
legged on one of the tables, with eyes turned
up to the timc-honorcu walls Of the Court
House, as lie exclaimed, Gym twenty. eight
wears old, but in all that time | never saw
anything SO diSgracelul" His head Al least,
was level 1t was difficult to decide who had
the floor; whether one motion or dozen
were in order who was in the chair; whc-
thcr ayes were affirmative or negative, and
noes ditto: whether they had assembled 10
settle IN Old fight or hatch 4 new ore: in
short it was Babel and Pandcmonium COM
bincd.
The chairman, with his hickory stick,
slammed in vain the face Of the Clerk of
Courts tablc-;'isorIer rciSned. lie Was
sharp, too, and his displays Of parliamenta-
ry knowledge in ruling, were sometimes well
put, but there might as well have been rag
man or q tar-baby in the chair, so little was
that disorder!y element coHtrollablc It is
singular no ciarct was drawn, as VIC learn Il
cork-<crcw or two were drawn. But let us
draw the veil.
At late hour in the afternoon the COM
mittec Of eleven returned 10 the body and re-
ported The following change in the previous
nomination, amid the most uproarious
shouts and blasphcmies:
For Clerk Of Court-Thos NJ. Lake.
