The New York Times Correspon-
dents Account of the Republican
State Convention.

H. c." Henry CARROLL a regular
correspondent of the New York Times
was in attendance at the Republican
State Convention in this city. The fol-
lowing Is his reportmf il:
JACKSON Miss, MAY 5.-After much use
less talk, motions. and COMMUNICATIONS, the
Mississippi Convention, called TO send dele
gates TO Chicago, alected As Chairman, WI
liam II. Gibbs, the recently appointed census
taker for this district. His election was
dictated BY James Hill. the colored Collec-
tor Of Internal Revenue in Jackson and the
% other Federal office-holders who were
seif-elected delegates to the convention.
The friends of Gen. Grant, who represented
the real sentiment of the Republican party
in the State, desired the election OF state
Senator Gales, a colored man. They We're
defeated by vote Of 81 TO los. OF the lat
ter, B. represented the Blaine element, the
remainder belonged TO the olfice-holding
clique. When the result was announced
there was great indignation, and TO the
charge, openly made on the floor. that Sher-
mans agents had bought up the convention
no one dared reply.
The Grant men, As result Of a second
caucus. passed the following:
ReSoired. That when it shall become evil
dent that the friends of Ulysses ;. Grant
can hope for no justice and look for no fair
play at the hands Of the majority, which,
ruled by the otiee-holders, grossly misrep-
resents the Republican masses of this Staoe,
we withdraw in a body, organize 4 truly
representative convention, send our own
delegates to Chicago, and formslly protest
against the action Of the clique which Il a
attempted 10 betrav and misrepresent Us.
The revenue agents agents, hearing that
the real delegates had passed the above. and
that they were likely to carry out the
resolve. became greatly alarmed and offered
to allow the friends of Grant to appoint
eight or half Of the delegation to Chicago,
they to name the remainder, and all the del
egates to % uninstructed. This was q prac-
teal victory fer Grant, and was accepted by
his friends
