A FREE FIGHT-NoDopY KILLED
The door. keeper of the Republican
Convention had rough time of it.
yesterday. There were q good many
intoxicated individuals, who evinced a
disposition to enter the hall without
the necessary ticket. The door-keeper
finally used his staff of Office, and
down went one of the whiekey. holders.
The noise and confusion finally be.
came go boisterous, that the Chairman
was forced to send for detaohme of
police. After the adjournment of the
Convention. some OF the parties who
considered themselves aggrieved,
"went for" the door-keeper, the police
rallied and there was regular free
fight; but the guardians of the peace
being out-nnmbered, were ''cleaned
out" in short time. Nobody was &C.
rionsly hurt, however. As the parties
were disposed to be turbulent, last
night, the police force was doubled.
It appeared to be the strikers of the
party and not the regular members of
the Convention. who caused the trou.
BILE.
The CoNTRsT1Na DELRaATIoSs-

The Committee on Credentials of the
Republican Convention had a lively

berlainites. attempted to coutrol the
committee-even going 80 far as to
attempt to adjourn the sitting without
appointing time for re-assembling;
but all their tricks were frustrated, and
what is thought to be proper dslega-
tions were admitted, with the excep-
tion of Barnwell and Beaufort--the
Whipper delegation getting ahead of
Smalls in the latter, who. by-the-way,
is thought to be the strongest man in
his County. MoIntyre's delegation
from Colleton whipped out lighting
Parson Thomas. The Pointer Win
smiths beat tho Tolleson's from Spar.
tanburg. Kirkland and Bryce headed
off Bryce and son from Oconee. The
Charleston contestants will be con.
sidered this morning; but there is little
doubt that the Mackey delegation will
be recommended-thus ousting the
Bowen and custom house party. The
indications are that Moses and Cham
berlain must go to the wall and a new
