SCENES AND INCIDENTS.

CHICAGO, June 3.-The first division in the
convention which approximately defined the
strength of the Grant and anti Grant delegates
in the convention, took place this evening, and
is found in the vote by States given in the
verbatim report. This vote was approached
somewhat dramatically. There were scenes of
wild excitement, in which thegalleries partici-
psted in q manner so extraordinary as to draw
from the chair sharp reprimand
and threat to cause the removal
OF those interrupting the speaker.
This was pronounced when Gen. Logan was
speaking in opposition to the resolution offered
by Henderson. The cheers, which were heard
on one side, were drowned by Kisses and shouts
OF Remember the Springfield Convention on
the other. At first Conkling was absent, and
when he appeared slowly walking down the
aisle to his seat he was greeted by handsome
ovation. His participation in the contest was
responded to by the audience with a prolonged
greeting. Mr.. Garfield then spoke
for the committee on rules, and
in few compact and clear sentences he ex-
planned the situation so that all could under
stand the effect of the call which was made by
Mr.. Sharpe of Mississippi. When one of the
Alabama delegates demanded to have his vote
recorded in correction of the report of the chair
man of his delegation. the chair so promptly
ruled that a delegate had no right to have his
vote SD ordered, that notice was hardly taken
of it. but when, In the case of Kentucky, four
delegates demanded their rights in boisterous
and angry tones, and stood on the
chairs until the chairmS IN directed their voteto
be recorded against the substitute for the
original resolution, the meaning of the contest
was fully appreciated, and the galleries ap-
plauded again and again.
DECISIONS OF THE CREDENTIALS coMMYTEE.
The committee on credentials have been IN
almost continuous session to-day, and are still
sitting, at midnight. The contestants from
eight Illinois districts are to be admitted by
the majority report. The Grant delegates are
to be declared entitled to seats from the second
district, and the thirteenth district was NOT
fully settled. The Yarmouth, or regular dele
Cation, from Louisiana, which Is
about evenly divided between Sherman
and Grant, is considered by the committee az
the delegation entitled to seats. The commit
tee decided to report in favor of the admission of
two Blaine delegates from one of the contested
districts in Pennsylvania, and in favor of the
two sitting Grant delegates from the other con-
tested districts. They are now in session on the
West Virginia case, and the prospects are they
will not adjourn for some time. The Utah case
remains to be considered. Four Grant dehe-
gates have been admitted from Kansas.
ALL CONFIDENT.
Logan, Conkling, Cameron, New and FilIey
helda conference this evening. Both the
Blaine and Grant men feel unusually conf
dent tonight, and the friends of other candi-
dates are in no wise respondent. Gossip re-
garding combinations is unusually scare and
many of the delegates sought early repose to
prepare for the session tomorrow, which Is ez-
pected to be the most momentous of the con-
vention. There Is q general belief now that
the convention will not conclude its labors he
fore Saturday.
