additional nominations; Buckingham, J. b

While in Abingdon on Monday General

paper men. or Alexandria and Lynchburg
he said there never was convention but
they had contssting delegations. There is
no doing anything with them. and no use

1t is learned that Gen. Groner's call for a
conference Of the anti-Mahone republicans
in Richmond on the lat of October will be
responded to by large attendance ofrepre-
sentative men of the party, aud that this
conference will develop much greater an-
tagonism to the Little Boss" than has gen.
orally been anticipated.
After stormy session, lasting from y
O'Clock yesterday morning until ~ O'CLOCK
last night, the republican legislative conVen
ton of Henrco county broke up without
making any nomination for the House.
Hezekiah Jones. colored justice of the
peace. and w. q. Beveridge, white law
yer, both claim to have received the nomi
nation. Each charges the other with ma.
nipuiatDg the votes in his behalf and each
saws he will spend money to beat the other.
Two or three fights occurred among the col.
ored delegates during the session OF the con-
ueutlon.
At Harrisonburg, Monday of last week,
for some time ef.er Col. r It. HUBBARD, re.
publican, began his speech, e6 Senator John

the crowd with the intention, go our repre-
sentative was told, had any reference been
made to him, of replying to Col. HUBBARD on
the spot. No such reference, however, was
made. Mr. Lewis said openly, and without
the sligbtest reserve, that he intended to

ton, and the reporter, Col. G. W. Hansburg,
