IIsY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUyE.l
CINCINNATI, June 1G.-The Convention was In no
mood to settle down again to sober work after the
tornado of excitement that followed the balloting
and the nomination of Gov. Hayes. Several hours
of continuous session in the stiling atmosphere OF
the Convention Hall was enough to make the people
uneasy, and the surprise which attended the carry
ing of the Convention for Gov. Hayes had taken
everybody thoroughly of his feet that it was with
the utmost difficulty that order was sufficiently re-
stored to make the transaction Of business at
all probable.
President Mcpherson called for nominations for
the vice-Presidency The first name presented was
that of William A. Wheeler of New-York, who was
placed in nomination by Judge Poland of Vermont.
The other nominees in the order in which their
names were presented were those Of Postmaster
General Jewell, Stewart l.. Woodford of New-York,
Gen. Hawey of Connecticut and Senator trellng-
huysen of NewJersey.
The balOtng began amidst the greatest confu-
sion. Ii with extreme difficulty tnat the Pfesl-
dent and Secretary could ascertain the votes OF
States as they were called Delegations were busy
completing their canvasses, ard every one was 50
much engaged or 50 greatly excited that the ap-
plause which followed the votes of some of the
larger States for favorte candidate was very tame
and feeble. Long before New-YOrl was reached in
the rol-call it was apparent that Wheeler would
lead all the rest If indeed he did not secure the
nomination on the very first ballot. New-lorh was
not ready to east her vote when called At meet

unit. were undecided. Mr.. Wheeler was ahead and
although Mr. Woodford had received considerable
support from Southern States he was far below Mr..
Jewell on the test. The problem was finally solved
by the conclusion Of Mr. Woodford 70 withdraw his
own name, which he did in very graceful speech,
aud then the entire 20 votes of the state were east
for Wheeler This settled the question, and after
two OK three more States bad been called the Con-
yention became impatient that when unanimous
consent was asked TO suspend the ballot ana make
Mr.. Wheecrs nomination unanimous, no objection
was made.

Hill and Stephens have always been

in the Georgia Senatorial contest which
terminated in the election OF Gordon,
and since that time they have had Wig.
orous discussion on the conduct OF the
late Confederate Government during
the unpleasantness. On one occasion al

THE Republicans in the United States
Senate are showing symptoms of panic.
Tie old Solemnftfes are waking up to tie
idea, which everybody else saw long
ago, that few deaths, a few expulsions,
and possible resignation, would place
the Senate in the hands of a Democratic
majority: The idea is revolving to them.
They are consequently beginning to
"hedge" against contingencies. And
the first step in that direction will doubt.
less be the admission oi Pinchback to his
contested seat.
Now, for all anybody can tell to the
contrary, Piuchback may be justly en-.
titled to his Senatorial seat; but giving
it to him for no other reason than to pre-.
serve the dwindling Republican major.
fty In the Senate, does not strike us as a
very profound reason for the thing. Yet
1t may be found sufficient for the Senate.
When 1t comes to be regarded id that
aspect, there can be very little doubt bat
that Pinchback will be accommodated
with chair as United States Senator
from Louisiana.
