Philadelphia, June G.--The vote for
Grant was unanimous. In casting the
votes of the delegations, each chairman
made little speech, which was received
with great good humor. The following is
not among the most extravagant:

under the banner of Sic Sempey Imwuais, ,
intend next autumn to put her armed heel
upon the head of the Democratic party.
The gods are just, and Virginia must and
shall be redeemed. Cheers.
After the excitement had subsided, a
motion was made to suspend the rules and
nominate Vice-President which was car
ried.
Pennsylvania nominated Senator Wilson,
and Massachusetts, seconded the nomina-
ton.
Indiana nominated Colfax, which was
seconded by Michigan. Mississippi also
seconded the nomination-Mr. Lynch, col
ored, saying it seemed to him the spirit OF
Lincoln was present; and he remembered
what that patriot expressed on one occasion
when he said " it was not safe time to

GA Card.''

Doctor Frayser evidently intends to have
the first and the last word in the controver-
sy he has provoked with me about our Con-
gressional delegates.
In the STATE JOURNAL. Of last evening,
he says, "he (Anable) was not present at
the meeting of the Congressional committee
on the 18th day of May, and he is assured
by those who were present, that it was i'm
possible for him to find out anything about
It,"
So that was your game, was it working
In the dark. suppose the Doctor feels
quite sure that from the 10th of May to the
lst day of June, /, as secretary of the
Congressional Committee, could by no pos
sibility find out what that committee did.
A beautiful commentary this upon the fair
ness of that committee, or rather, | boldly
proclaim it a SANDER upon that committee.
Captain Maddox, one of the members who
| believe was present at said meeting, in.
formed me of its action, only day or two
after the meeting was held; besides, I
have written notice, dated the 10th day
of May, signed by j. M. Humphreys,
chairman, and VIM. T. Bailey, assistant
secretary, addressed to me as chairman of
the county committee, asking me to do Just
what hare done. and Just achat mean TO
stand By.
The Doctor says she should not have
felt complimented to have received the full
strength or vote of the convention under
the circumstances" Why did he spend
two full hours laboring with the delegates
to send him to the Congression convention?
Why did he recognize the legitimacy of the
convention by his presence and efforts to
direct its action ? This won't 'wash" Doc
tor. In conclusion the Doctor makes an
absurd effort to get himself into jacket
that he says does not fit, and which was
only intended for whoever it might fit. |
gave the Doctor credit for more shrewdness
than this.
How about your suggestion at the Brook
land meeting, to head the ticket with
Liberal Republican Ticket?" To our
ears this is an old familiar sound, and
smacks strongly of Walker or Cincinnati
Republicanism.
One word more: followed General
Grant from the /" Wilderness to Peters,
burg, the bloodiest campaign the world
ever saw, in which many brave man fell" !"
and from which many brave man fled;
and though yoa, and men like you, may
seek to poison the mind of the President
against me, | am too old soldier, and too
well disciplined to desert my old command
