Resolve to Recognize Neither General
Lee nor Hume.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Oct. 23.-lSpecial. +
About forty answered the call OF the COM
mitiee of Republicans dissatisfied with the
action OF the Manassas convention at the
BraddOck House to-day. John Greene was
chosen chairman, and Colouel Stilson, of
Fairfax, secretary. Bob Hawkshurst, Of
Fairfax, offered resolutions that i: was too
late to run a straightout, and that each Re-
publican be given his own preference. This
caused a wrangle, John Greene declaring
he would openly vote for General Lee If 1t
passed. Finally another. which ordered the
members 10 refuse to recognize either Gen.
eral Lee or Mr.. Hume, was offered. Ii
passed, and the conference adjourned.
Rain mas fallen here steadily tor twenty
four hours, and there is apparent danger Of
freshet. The wharkes are submerged,
and ferry-boats have discontinued their
trips. Merchants along the river front are
preparing for emergencies.
An amusing incident occurred during the
Republican straightout conference this
afternoon. Somebody put box Of cigars
on the secretary's table, and member got
up and asked whose cigars they were,
whereupon Brother Daniel Webster Whit
ing, Of Progress. called out that they were
Hume cigars. Then delegate jumped to
his feet and said: III will throw them out Of
the window, and put you out, too" He
made break for Whiting, and several per-
sons interiered. and the cigars were scat
tered about the room.

of that body in refusing to permit discussion
on the bill abolishing the Cincinnati Decen-

the bill abolishing the Cincinnati Board OF
Public Improvements was read the sec
ond time. There was rumor that
an attempt would he made TO
defeat this bill when it comes up
for passage tomorrow on account OF an al
legged defect in the engrossment. Ii was
also said that two Senators would be ar
rested for tampering with the House re-
cords in correcting this alleged defective en-
