Bruce (now a Senator in the United States
Senate from MssissippD, at the time he
was a candidate for said Office before
the Legislature of Mississippi, at the

waite understanding and agreement between
the said X. Bruce and the said mem bers
of the Legislature, as is universally belieV-
ed here and commonly related, that in con-

Of the said certificates they and each OF

THE NOMINATION OF BRUCE.
Finally, prior to the time OF the purchase
of the certificates, as aforesaid. Bruce and
his friends had failed to secure his nOmina-
ton 20 the office OF Senator in at least two
caucus meetings of the political party to
which he belonged; but Immediately after
he bought the certificates, a caucus meeting
was held, the members of the Legislature
being present, and he was nominated to the
office of United States Senator by small
majority. and mainly through the instru
mentality of the members OF the Legislature
from whom certificates had been purchased,
as above described.

The New York Tribune, in a review
of the Presidential situation, says:


of the Presidential situation, says:
1t may safely be said that the talk
about taking the New York Convention
away from Tilden is twaddle. His
friends believe that he will yet be their
candidate for the Presidency, and are
working resolutely and skillfully to that
end The Convention will give such III
structons to the New York delegation
as TiIden himself may finally decide
upon as likely to produce the best effect
at St. Louis. His party earnestly hope
for the nomination of Conkling, since that
would make the Tilden canvass in New
York mere walk over the track.
The recent elections, showing that
while the Democrats have lost ground in
the West, they have maintained their as
tendency in New York and Connecticut,
will unquestionably improve the chances
of Gov. Tilden, who would be good
exponent Of the hard-money and reform
movement But letus wait and see.

for reform which the Democratic

earnestly and faithfully, for success;

who may hereafter unite with US in
this glorious cause, protection against

resolutions, Samuel Dibble. Esq, with
the air OF lawyer who knew his

them in % manner that elected M.

Now came the set speeches. Gener-'
al Kennedy was the first speaker
who made dig at our side. He
was very coquettish in the beginning,
but after he got warmed up, we
noticed that he was not halt as tender

around promiscuously and didn't have

His speech was straightout.
Mr.. H. s. Thompson followed. He
was more easy going, and we liked
him better.
And after him came Hon. NJ. P.

orator is world wide, and as we do not
desire to do an injustice even to a

saying that his speech was repleto

RECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
The Convention met again We'd
Ilcsday September 18th at 10 a. M.
and shortly after adjourned to p. m.
to givo more time to the committee on
credentials. Upon re.assembling in
the afternoon a permanent organiza
tion was effected by electing Robert
Smalls Chairman. Committees on
platform and rules were here appoint
ed.
Senator j. ]. Patterson was then
called on. Some little excitement
prevailed, rs it was fully expected
that ho would make an attack on
Governor Chamberlain; but to the
surprise Of many it was demonstrated
that the hatchct had been buried du.
ring the night, and Patterson endors-
ed Chamberlain and pledged his sup
port 10 him and the whole ticket
whatever it might be. He said that
President Grant had his eye on
South Carolina, and intended to take
care Of her, and he (Patterson) would
warrant that Grant would bring the
strong arm of the United State Gov
ernment to support and keep the Re-
publican party in power. He was
not afraid Of armed Democrats, and
he would warn these FIRE eaters that
Albany Penitentiary is big enough
10 hold and would hold, many Of
them rs soon as the election was over.
So far as his reported hostility to
Governor Chamberlain was concern
ed he said he had only fallen out
with him because tho Democrats
were praising him too much. He
got suspicious of him, but was per-
fectly satisfied that he had cast of his
new-made friends now, and he would
accordingly support him. He next
spoke of the report of his having
patched up friendship with Cham
berlain on a compromise in which
the repudiated conversion bonds fig.
ured conspicuously. He confidently
asserted that the Republican party
will be in power in South Carolina
for ten years longer, and would have
Hayes md Wheeler to take care of
them. He said the whipping-post
would be cha ngcd to The school.
house, and colorcd mon would soon
be equal in every way to the white
people OF the State. They would be
too smart for the Democrats to fool
them us they were trying to do, Gcor-
gin WAS nh example of q State where
the negroes had no show, had 10
schools, and taxes were higher than
when Bullock was Governor.
THIRD DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

assembled according to adjournment
Thos. Hamilton nominated D. III.
Chamberlain for Governor. Mr..
