CINCINNATI. May 2-Those who came to this Con-
vention to sneer remain to tremble. Ii has already
passed into the records one of the best constl-
tuted largest and most imposing National Conven-
ton ever held The seating capacity OF the haII IN
which it assemblies is nearly or quite double that Oh
Crosby's Opera House. in which Gen. Grant was
nominated. The most careful estimates Of
outsiders place the number present al
10000, while even the Grant men of Cincinnati
more proud Of their hall and of the admirable AZ
ranrements made for the Convention than desirons
to belittle the gathering insist that there were
1000 gathered in it this afternoon. The arrange
ments by the local committees have been UMPIRE
cedentedly thorough and every way ad-
mirable The character of the Convention it
self is unusually high. Messrs. Arson Stager,
If the Western Union Telegraph Company; William
Henry Smith, General Agent Of the Western Asso-
ciated Press; and James W. simonton, General
Agent of the New-Yorll Associated Press, were IN
attendance at an early hour on the platform this
morning. backed by i very heavy corps Of reporters
and telegraph operators. and IN general,
with better arrangements than have hitherto
been known at any National Convention.
To an attendant at such gatherings, the first no.
ticeable point was the fresh clamor about the Old
dispute concerning the representation OF Terrific
ries and here, as almost everywhere before III Re-
publican Conventions the Territories, after bref
skirnish carried the day, il spite Of tho earnest
nrotest Of one OF two men who insisted that this
the delegates from States which intended to cast
their votes for the nominee Of the Convention TO
find themselves outvoted by delegates from Terrific
ries which could have voice in November.
The great feature of the afternoon session was the
reception of Gen. Carl Sehurzs name for the perna-
nent Chairman Of the Convention. the universally
admired speech which he delivered. and the over
yrheImiDp APPLAUSE with which il was greeted. It
wa next noticeable that every sentiment IN
il looking toward abandonment OF per
sonal preference and feelings of State pride,
every demand for a candidate whose name
and career should be in itself platform and every
anDeal for Cancellation and harmony. evoked instant
and enthusiastic response. There was of course, the
usual row from irresponsible people about casual
delegates from one two remote regions, and more
time in accordance with the strict line of universal
PRECEDENT was thus consumed than might have been
used to make a nomination.
A genuine sensation was over the proposition
originating in New-JerSy, and vehemently pushed
from Indiana that the Convention proceed at once
10 nomination. The loud cheers with which it was
greeted appeared however rather 10 indicate merely
the Impotence of the Convention with delays
than any deliberate, judicious approval of such
a course. The force of the movement was
broken at once when Gen. Cochrano protested
against naming a candidate in the dark, without
having built platform upon which he was TO stand.
And when Col. Mcclure in behalf of Pennsylvania,
promptly seconded that suggestion, Lieut.-Gov.
Koerners short earnest speech against it ended the
debate, and the vote, although unwisely called By
States, in the evident hope that there
might be a greater strength for immediate
action, was overwhelming in favor OF
delay. In the hury-burly Of Offering resolutions
with which the session closed it noticeable
that the which received the loudest cheers was
that declaring III favor of the One-TerIn principle.
