difficulty lies in the fact that the ward
politicians are united and will vote together
for delegates whom they know to be
pledged to their favorites, while good citi-
zens generally go into the ward meetings
without concert Of action, and either vote
for delegates of whose views they are
| ignorant, or throw their ballots away upon
men who are good enough but have no
possible chance of election against organ
lied opposition. believe, however, that
we will secure at least two or three good
men out of five, and no corrupt man can
receive nomination. although one who is
incompetent may. y -------.----
| There was minor squabbling in all the
wards, but the differences were composed
without resort to blows In Monroe
ward, where fight, and riot was. confidently
expected, the opposing parties settled their
differences by electing the half of each of
the two opposing factious delegates. In

Among the newspaper men in Richmond
whose names are supposed to be in the
Conservative pot for the legislature, and
who are likely to undergo the 'sbiling"
process a. the Conservative nominating
convention tonight, are w. G. Elan, Of
The Wing !. William H. Wade, of The
News; George @. Wedderburn, of The
Enquirer, and William s, Gilman, general
travelling news man. s,s
We observe that Major Baker P. Lee is
delegate to the convention from Madison
ward. Major Lee is from Norfolk, is con-
nected with The Enquirer. has been here
only few weeks, and is not, we believe,
registered voter. Mr., George G. We'd
derburn, of Alexandria, late Of Washing
ton city, is Of the same paper; has been a
resident Of the city short time, and
though understood to be an asprant for
legislative honors, lis hardly any better
qualified, in voting way, for the duties Of
citizenship than his compeer, Major Lee If
he is nominated he will undoubtedly be
beat, and that badly. OF the newspaper
aspirants, Captain William C. ELAN, Of
The Whig, seems to be the least objection
able and most likely to elicit public appro-
val by votes. Being man of Judgment
and sense, he would make good repre-
sentative. sAaaeaaoE ssasszgs
In Clay ward an incident occurred which
is worthy the attention of the colored
voters. About twenty colored men were
brought into the meeting, and it being
pretty well known that they would vote
against any candidate favorable to the
nomination of General w. @. Newberry,
carpet-bagger, that gentleman protested
| against their taking part IN the meeting.
His protest did not avail. The Conserva-
Tive colored troops 'fit nobly,V and New
berry went to grass, all his budding hopes
untimely nipped. s.s1N sst1 usA9
Monroe ward seems bent upon grasping
all the honors that seats in the legislature
afford. 1t presents four candidates VIM.
Lovenstein, s. Ill. Pulliam, w. III. Wade
and William English, and it already has
several men in public Office. Robt. Ould
and James III. Dooley of Madison ward,
and VIM. Iioyenstien of Monroe, are almost
certain of aanomination. iaala &ss
The great scramble tonight will be be-
tween the other aspirants. and we fear the
results will show that the Conservatives
will leave Clay and Marshall out in thu
cold again. Perhaps it may be some CON
ISOLATION to them that by being defeated
now they simply escape being routed by tn,
Republicans at the polls. TaHW
