National Republican ACOUiiTA. t*A TUESDAY MORNINO ... M»reh 10, IS** For PRESIDENT Os thk United States: ULYSSES S. GRANT. For Governor OF GEORGIA : llovlMt. BULLOCK OF RICHMOND. THE NOMINATION. Our readers have been made aware of the fact that the Nominating Convention, which met in Atlanta on Saturday, had selected Col. 11. B. Bcllock, of this city, as the candidate of the Reconstruction party of Georgia for Governor. This nomi nation does as much credit to the good sense aud discretion of the Convention as to the nominee. Several candidates had been spoken of—some of them were prom inently in the field—but the Convention thought best to select some one who had not defiled himself by complicity with se cession; who had taken no part in the miserable rebellion; who had not partici pated in the rings and cliques of the old politicians who have heretofore ruled and ruined the State, and was, at the same time, distinguished for ability in every sit uation in which he had been placed. The Nominating Convention were perfectly certain that the new Constitution would be adopted, and the delegates thought no man so fit to carry out the provisions of that instrument, and to put it into practi cal operation, as one who, like Col. Bul lock, had had a large share in making it. He, it may be said, is comparatively unknown to the people of Georgia, but he is presented to them by the representa tives of nearly one half the people, with a unanimity unexampled in the history of Conventions, as a fit standard-bearer in the coming contest. Prol >ably, at the meeting of the Constitutional Convention, he was as much unknown to nine-tenths of the delegates as he is now to a large part of the people, but the enthusiasm and una nimity with which his nomination was received, is sufficient proof that their per sonal communication with him had thoroughly convinced them of his ability, energy and patriotism, and of his fitness for the high station for which he was named. It was not derogatory, in their estimation, to his sterling qualities, that he had taken no part in the political blunders which have brought so much dis tress upon the country, and that his name was unknown as a politician. If it is attempted to decry Col. Bullock because he is unknown, it must be remembered that one of the most popular of the Gov ernors of Georgia, at his first nomination, was even less known than Col. Bullock. We refer to Governor Brown. We exhort all who wish to see the State speedily restored to the Union, to work vigorously during the short time that will elapse before the election, for the nominee of the Reconstruction party. If those who wish to enjoy the benefits which the new Constitution will confer upon them, suffer the Chief Magistracy of the State and its Legislature to fall into the hands of those who declared war upon it in advance, but some of whom now pretend to be friendly to its ratification, that they may the more easily inflict upon it a “Joab stab,” they will find themselves plunged (jack into the slough of despond from which the Con vention has rescued them. Let all then work heartily and earnestly for the success of Bullock and the Constitution. lION. li. CONLEY. The Atlanta Era, thus speaks of one of our delegates: The gentleman from Richmond is a native of Newark, N. J., is fifty-three years of age, has resided in Augusta thirty eight years, has been engaged in mercan tile business during the entire period, was Alderman of Augusta from 1845 to 1857, was Mayor of said city from 1857 to 1859, and is now a member of the City Council by military appointment. Mr. Conley has always been a Union man, and is now for reconstruction under the acta of Congress. Injpolitics, he was an ‘‘Old Line Whig,’’ but now a Republican, neither moderate or radical. Mr. Conley is one of the best presiding officers in the Convention, and is frequent ly called to the chair by the President. Mr. C. is a working member, and practical in his views, and opposed to all visionary schemes. He is of commanding presence, and the first impressions of him will gene-' rally be favorable, and further acquaintance will !>c apt to increase the consideration of the observer. Mr.Conley seems to have the respect of all parties in the Convention, llis career as a legislator has not yet ended. Democratic Nominee. “ Occasional,” the Washington corre spondent of the Philadelphia /’rest, says, “there is no longer any doubt that George If. Pendleton will be the Democratic cun didate for President. Presented ltnani. mously by the West, he is, of course, the favorite of the rebels, and now the Maine Copperheads respond by declaring for him and the payment of the national debt in greenbacks. The rebels of Kentucky, assembled in State convention on the 22d ult. Resolved, That this convention, in obedi ence to the voice of the people of Ken tucky, hereby presents the name of Hon. George 11. Pendleton, of Ohio, us their choice for President of the United States, and our delegates to the national conven tion are hereby instructed to use all hon orable means to secure his nomination, and to vote as a unit therefor. From our Special Corrcipoudent,] FROM WASHINGTON Orgauitaiiou of iht High Court of Impornokmcot — Ah Imprtttin Sttmo —tit I'rcititrut—A Cool I'roctntiug— Tho /*hrotate of Siimaoo — Mott Sugar. Washington, D. C., March sth, IBt>B. The Scimto of tho Uuited States isrccog uiiccd as one of the most dignified legislative bodies in the work), on ordinary occasions, and as well may be imagined, the scene witnessed to-day, when it organized as a High Court of Impeachment, with the Chief Justice of the United States, clothed in his official robes, in the Chair, was an impres, sive one. Every portion of tho Chamber was densely packed with hnmau beings—a large per ocutage being of the fair sex, and all eager to witness every movement ftmde, and to hear every word uttered. It was a novel sight, even for the people of this Capital. During the entire preliminary proceedings a death like stillness pervaded the entire audi ence, and the lowest uttorauces of members of the Court were distinctly heard in the remotest corner ot the Chamber. For once at least, all partisan fueling was thrown aside, and all seemed to be impressed with the importance of the occasion, both to the couutry and the officer to be tried. The trial of a President of this great nation for “high crimes aud misdemeanors” is no ordi nary occurrence, and the transactions of to day will be remembered as long as life lasts. The administering of the oath to Chief Justice Chase, and by the latter to the Sena tors, was a scene no tongue can fully describe or pencil portray. The solemnity of. the occasion remained unbroken until the voice of Hendricks was heard remonstrating against the acting Vice-President dfetting as one of the Court. The result of this objec tion you will have received before this letter reaches you. Mr. Wade, pending tho discussion as to his taking the oath, ocoupicd the Vico President’s room in rear of the Senate chamber. Having occasion to call upon him, I was received in that frank, cordial manner so characteristic of the man ; in a word, he is a representative Republican, one of the people, and hence his sympathies are with the people. He wears his honors with becoming meekness; and, boing an affirmative man, no one can doubt what his course will be, if called upon to admin ister the affairs of the nation. Injustice to the Republican members of the Senate, it should be said that there is no foundation whatever for the rumor, pro mulgated in a New York paper, that any number of Senators are in favor of dis placing Mr. Wade. True, he has enemies, but even they do not propose to take any action, even had they power, to create a division. Tho President to-day has been in better spirits than for several days past. He has received encouragement to-day by calls made by such men ns J. S. Black, M. Blair, S. S. Cox, Dr. J. B. Blake, J. G. Bcrrell, B. Swart, Duff Green, R. 11. Spof fond, Tom Florence, and others with Lin coln records. Mr. Johnson lias not yet fully determined upon his legal advisers. It is understood, however, that lie will have seven. lie objects to Charles O’Connor because en gaged in the defence of Jeff. Davis. The President tries hard to keep up appearances, and in doing this some of his friends think he has overstepped the bounds of good taste, by issuing cards to eighteen Senators to attend a State dinner at the White House to-morrow evening. An ordi nary man, under indictment for high crimes and misdemeanors committed, would hardly have the face to invite a portion of the jurors before whom he is to be tried, to dine with him ! Mr. Seward, it is believed, has made a conditional purchase of 'amann —that is, provided the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs agree, tho place can be purchased at a stipulated sum. In other words, he has the refusal of the place. The subject of making sugar from beets is attracting more than usual attention— -5153,943,159 has been paid in five years to other countries for sugar and molasses. Tho Commissioner of Agriculture, in a commu nication to Congress, says a ton of beets yield about 100 pounds of raw sugar. The beet cake, for feeding purposes, the molas ses, alcohol, and other products obtained, greatly increase the aggregate which makes the total value of this branch of industry. A promising beginning in beet sugar making has been commenced in Chatsivortb. Illinois, and a fine sample of the sugar manufactured there, is on exhibition in the agricultural museum. The production of the sugar-beet by farmers, for sale in a direct state to manufacturers of sugar, may be made to yield an immense revenue to rural industry. The beets are cut in small pieces, after washing and dried by artificial heat, by which process from 80 to 84 per cent, of their weight is expelled, leaving a residue containing 55 per cent, or more of sugar, which is extracted by fusion, often after months delay, and transportation to distant factories, One establishment in tho duchey of Baden employs 3,000 persons, and a capital of $10,000,000. From the Atlanta Now Era ] State Const iiutionul lon volition Atlanta, March 7, 1868. The Convention met at 9} o’clock a. m., pursuant to adjournment. Prayer by liev. Mr. Smith, of Thomas, a delegate. The Journal was road and approved. . Mr. Mill eii moved the reconsideration of the action of the Convention in apportioning the counties in the Third Congressional Dis trict. The motion to reconsider did not prevail. Mr. Akeuman, from the Committee on Revision, offered the following : The Committee on Revision recommend that the following he inserted in the Consti tution : ABTICLE AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTI TUTION. 'This Constitution may be altored or amended by a vote of two-thirds of each branch of the General Assembly at each of two successive regular sessions; but the elective franchise shall never bo taken from any class entitled thereto. Mr. Roza it moved a reconsideration of the refusal of yesterday, to suspend the rules for the purpose of considering a reso lution offered by himself, in relation to a resolution of inquiry in regard to the causes of unlawful punishment of convicts in this State. The motion to reconsider was lost by a vote of G 6 to 09. Mr. Akeuman offered a resolution, that as soon as the Committee on Revision shall huve completed any part of the Constitu tion, ' wo hundred copies of the sumo shall be printed under the direction of said com mittee. •A.,Ro, a resolution that the Committee on Revision bo authorized to employ u clerk whose compensation shall ho hereafter deter mined by the Convention. Adopted. Mr. Dunnino offered the following: Whereas, The Georgia Constitutional Convention is now nbofft to concludo its deliberations; therefore, Resolved, That the thanks of this body are due, and are hereby tendered to Major General Meade, Commanding Third Military District, for his hearty co-operation in all our labors, and for his uniform coirttesy in his official correspondence with the same, as well as tho marked kindness manifested in his private intercourse with the various mem bers of this Convention. . Resolved, That a copy of this resolution and preamble be presented to the Major General Commanding tho Third Military District, signed by tbo Secretary and Prosi dent of this Convention. Upon motion, tho resolution was adopted. A motion to adjourn until 3 o’clock p. m-, prevailed, by a vote of 88 to 50. . The Convention then adjourned. State Nominating Convention OF GEORGIA. Saturday, March 7, 1808. After the adjournment of tho Constitu tional Convention, at about 10.30, this morning, the members thereof immediately resolved themselves into a Nominating Convention, pursuant to the previous deci sion of the tate Central Executive Com mittee. Mr. Foster Blodgett called the meeting to order. Mr. A. L. llarris, of Savannah, was unanimously elected Chairman, and was immediately conducted to the Chair. Mr.- A. E. Marshall was nominated and unanimously elected Secretary of tho Con vention. While Col. Harris was taking his seat, Judge Dunning entered the Hall, bearing aloft a neatly prepared banner, inscribed with the motto : | NEW MEN! | PROGRESS AND HARMONY I AMONG OURSELVES. j This was the signal for the most enthu siastic shouts of applause—lasting some minutes. Judge Dunning, on arriving at the ros trum, and planting the standard immediately back of the Chairman, addressed the Conven tion as follows: Gentlemen: One word—just two minutes. I mean by “NEW MEN,” those who have not been worn out, politically, heretofore. The Judge’s remarks were hailed with deafening applause, and, on motion of Dr. Blount, three ringing cheers were given him. The President, Col. Harris, then delivered the following address. lie said: Mr. Chairman of the Central Exeeulive Committee, and Gentlemen of the Conven tion : On last Fourth of July I was a delegate to a State Convention, held in this hall, for the purpose ot making a platform for our party, upon which a constitution should bo formed, and Reconstruction effected. One of the planks of that platform, and of which I had the honor to be the author, is “equal rights for all men.” How true the Constitutional Convention has been to that watchword, is most eloquently expressed in the Constitu tion, which it pervades, from the Bill of Rights to the lust line of the last clause. Auother plank is a pledge for he provision of General Free School Education. But day before yesterday a thorough system of learning, from A, B, C to Hie, llaec, Hoc, was ordered by the fundamental law of the land for all the children in the State [ap plause], and all the other provisions of that 4th of July Convention platform have been most successfully carried out; so, that, now, we can be judged not only by our promises, but by our works. And now that our Constitution-making is about completed, and we are ready to go before the people with that instrument in our hands, to urge its ratification with all the power of men acting with the consciousness of right; we meet here for the purpose of placing in nomination a wise, brave, patriotic man to execute the laws under it And, also, to nominate National Representatives who, through knowledge of its contents— aud with innate ability, and unfaltering ad herence to its precepts—are worthy to place it before the Congress of the Nation and ask its acceptance by that patriotic body. "United we stand, divided we fall,” has been uttered times innumerable; but how fresh and true it always . sounds 1 There should be no differences in the Reconstruc tion Party; we should work as a unit—any minority falling gracefully in with the ma jority, and unitedly, harmoniously, and all of us put our shoulders to the wheel, and roll it—a great Union, Reconstruction, Con stitution and Ratification car, crushing its opponents beneath its onward progress. (Applause.) Upon the Reconstruction party of Georgia, hundreds of thousands of anxious eyes are turned to day ; hundreds of thousands of trembling lips breathe the hope of its success, for in the latter is the mandate to the lowest of God’s creatures on Georgia’s soil, to raise his eyes to the highest pinnacle of human ambition, with the free, unrestricted right to place himself upon it if he cun. In its defeat, the soul of these hundreds of thou sands wilt lose it3 anchor, and Hope will be buried in tho ashes of Despair. Upon the reconstruction of the South, America turns her eyes with longing, anxious look. She yearns to gather her children again beneath the ample spread of the canopy of UNION 1 Upon the reconstruction of the South the liberal, true-hearted millions of the Old World hang with breathless inter cst, for upon the success of a government by all tho people—republican government— (which is now in its sorest hour of trial) depends the future ot Europe and the coun tries of the East. (Applause.) The success of Republican government in our own State largely depends upon the Standard bearers to be appointed to-day. See to it, then, as faithful guardians of the true interests of the State* that you place your cause in the hands of those who will bear aloft the Eagles of Reconstruction to certain victory 1 [Enthusiasticapplause.] Heartily thanking you, gentlemen, for the distinguished honor conferred upon me, of temporarily presiding over your delibera tions, I declare this Convention duly organ ized for the transaction of the business for which it was called. Mr. Murphy presented the following reso Intion, and moved its adoption : Resolved, That a committee of one mem ber from each Congressional District be appointed to nominate candidates for per manent offices and State Central Executive Committee.

Resolved, That in cose of vacancy in the State Central Committee, tho members of the Committee in the Congressional District in which the vacancy occurs, shall nominate a person to fill inch vacancy, and the Chair man shall confirm the same. The report was adopted. Motion was made, und unanimously adopt ed, that the Hou. W. S. Furay bo requested to address the Convention. Mr. Furay arose and said: Gentlemen— l should be extremely glad to comply with your request, but that my duties to-day are of a different nature from those which you wish me to discharge. I am here simply as a spectator, with the intention of telling tho great people of this country, in my humble way—so far as I can do it through the medium of the Northern press—what it is you do to-day, and how you do it. That is the purpose for which I took ray scat at this desk. I trust in God that you may do tho work well. I trust in God that you may do it in such a way that the great Union party of this country will hail your proceedings with A shout of joy, so that you, too, may be num bered among those bodies who have pro nounced themselves loyal bodies—bodies who'favor the entire restoration of National Unity—bodies who fuvor the incorporation in both the organic and statute law of the land, the great principles of human liberty. I would be glad, gentlemen, to speak to you farther, but my professional duties at this time will not permit, and I therefore trust that you will excuse mo. The Hon. W. P. Edwards was now vociferously called for. He said: Fellow Citizens : I rise in obedience to your call. I am not an orator, and shall not play the orator now. We are about, gentlemen, to consummate the great work for which we were sent here. Without this we would not have completed tho consummation of that work. 1 hope, fellow-citizens, that we will not to-day, be unmindful of that beautiful motto which’ you see before you. We should act harmonious ly. We should act with an eye to the good of the great Republican party of Georgia, which we are to inaugurate to-day. We aro now entering upon anew era in the history of Georgia. All men, irrespective of race or eolor, ara about to enter tho great contest as to who shall control the State. I hope, and I be lieve, that the wisdom existing in the Con stitutional Convention is equal to tho work of saying who should administer, for the next four years, the Constitution which originated in that body. I believe that there is wisdom enough in the men now in this hall, from Northern Georgia, Middle Georgia,Southern Georgia, Eastern Georgia, and Western Georgia, to place a man be fore the people who will be acceptable to the people from the mountains to the sea» board. [Cheers.] I believe that we shall harmonize. I believe that we shall give the people the man to whom they will all rally with one accord. I believe we shall give the people a man who will do honor to the Gubernatorial Chair of Georgia. If we do not, I shall regret it no less than any one else. But, now I say, let us centre on a man that can carry strength in the mountains, in the black belt, along the sea coast, and everywhere else. We can do it. I know we can do it, and I know it wiil be done. I do think that we are certain to agree among ourselves ; and certain to do that which will be best for the interests of the great Repub lican party, and the interests of the whole State of Georgia. Therefore, I say, fellow citizens, let us harmonize. Let us all come up, and with might and main centre upon a nominee who can carry the State. To those who do not come up and harmonize with us, let us say, "Wayward sisters, depart in peace.” [Laughter.] Oh, well, I should have said, “Wayward brothers.” [Renewed laughter.] Now, I tell you, if we do not unite—if we do not harmonize we shall get whipped, and we deserve it. If we do not unite, the Demo crats will come in and win, and every mem ber of this Convention deserves to be sent to Liberia, or somewhere else. I am not like a gentleman who addressed an audience here one evening, who said that if this thing failed he would give up, and join some other organization. As for me, gentlemen, I tell you I will never do it. I intend to stand by the Republican organization just as long as I have life, and when I die, i desire that the stars and stripes shall enshroud me, and that mv epitaph shall simply be, “He was a Geor gia Republican up to the handle.” Mr. Edwards was most lustily cheered amid ringing shouts of applause. Mr. Blodgett offered the following: Resolved, That the delegates in this Con vention, who do not pledge themselves to support the ratification of the new Consti tution and the nominees of this body for Governor, be requested to rotire, and that the seats of the retiring delegates be filled by such persons as may have been ap pointed in their respective counties. Mr Sum, e moved to lay the foregoing resolution on tho tabic. The motion did not prevail. Mr. Bryant moved the adoption of the resolution. The motion was carried. Mr. Whiteley offered the following: Resolved, That all matters touching the organization of this body, not already pro vided for, be referred to a special committee' of one from each Congressional District, and that said committee report at 2 p ni. Mr. McCay offered the following as a sub stitute, which was adopted in lieu of Mr. Whiteley’s resolution : Rosolved, That a Committee of two from each Congressional District be appointed by the Chair to report— 1. The basis on which the counties shall be represented. 2. The rules to be adopted in the nomina tion, whether two-thirds or a majority. 3. The mode by which the rights of dele gates to seats shall be determined. 4. Whether this Convention shall nomi nate at all, or merely make a recommenda tion. Mr. Wn itelkt’s resolution, as amended, was adopted. The Chair appointed the following ns the Committee uudor the foregoing resolution : Mr. Whiteley, Second Distaiet, Chairman. Seeley, Bentley, First District. Murphy, McCay, Second District. Edwards, Oan Joues, Third District. Wallace, Harris of Newton, Fourth Dis trict. Blodgett, Moore, Fifth District. Marler, Cobb, Sixth District. ‘On motion, the Convention adjourned till 2 p. m. The Convention assembled at 2 o’clock p. in. Mr. Bryant moved that when the Conven tion adjourn it adjourn subject to the call of the President. The motion prevailed. The hour of 3 o’clock, p. in., having ar rived—the hour to which the Constitutional Convention of Georgia adjourned—on motion of Mr. Bryant the Convention adjourned. Immediately upon the adjournment of the Constitutional Convention, lion. A. L. Har ris called the Convention together. Mr. Whiteley presented ths following majority and minority reports of the Com mittee to provide for representation and other matters connected with the permanent organization of the Convention, not previ ously provided for. Th# reports were read, aa follows i The Committee on the mode of organiza tion, etc., make the following report: That they have agreed upon the following resolutions : Resolved, That this Convention, in view of the peculiar circumstances of the case, deems it advisable to recommend to the people of Georgia, a suitable candidate, on the Consti tution, for Governor of Georgia. Therefore, we will proceed to the perform ance of that duty: Resolved, That each delegate to the Con stitutional Convention, who. favors recon struction, and agrees to support the new Constitution, be entitled to a seat in the body recommending a candidate for Gov ernor, and all delegates regularly ap pointed to the Nominating Convention, be entitled to seats on the floor of the Con vention. Resolved. That when delegates are ap pointed from counties represented in the Constitutional Convention by delegates, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention be entitled to cast the vote of the county or district; but when there are no delegates from any county or district, the appointed delegates shall act. That, in voting, the vote shall be by dis tricts. Eath delegate present shall cast his own vote. Absent voters to be cast by the majority—if a tie, to be cast equally by such. That the districts be called, beginning at the first, and the names of the delegates, meeting the requirements herein provided for be recorded. Resolved, That the majority rule shall be adopted, and that no candidate shall be recommended who does not receive a ma jority of all the delegates voting. Resolved, That all the Iriends of recon struction in the State of Georgia be earn estly requested to unite in the support of the candidate recommended by this Convention. Foster Blodgett, AV. P. Edwards, J. Harris, M. H. Bentley, Romulus Moore, Isaac Seeley, Van Jones, Geo. Wallace, John Murphy, E. S. Cobb. We dissent from so much of the report as allows a majority to nominate, and move to amend the same by inserting two-thirds. Richard H. Whiteley, Chairman. H. K. McCay. On motion, the roll was called. On motion, the Senatorial districts were called. Mr. Whiteley moved that the report of the committee on organization be adopted, except that portion which requires a ma jority to nominate. Adopted. Mr. Whiteley moved that the report of the minority of the committee he adopted, requiring a two-third majority to nominate. The motion was lost. On motion of Mr. Blodgett, the Conven tion adopted the report of the majority of the committee, and determined that a ma jority of the Convention should nominate. On calling the roll, it was ascertained that thirty-five of the Senatorial districts were represented. The Convention proceeded to nominate a Governor. Mr. Foster Blodgett presented to the Canvention as Republican candidate lor Governor, Hon. R. B. Bullock, of Rich mond. On motion of Mr. McCay, Col. Bullock was nominated by acclamation as Repnbli cat candidate lor Governor. The nomination was received with great enthusiasm. On receiving the nomination, Col. Bul lock walked up to Col. Farrow, cordially shaking his hand, and, as we are informed, remarking : “Colonel, as you won’t come to see me, I come to assure you that I shall be happy to serve you in any way in my power.” Col. Bullock, having been loudly called for, addressed the Convention in a few pointed remarks, as follows : Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Con vention : My fellings would bid me keep quiet on an occasion like this; but lam unable to resist the temptation to say that I plant myself squarely on the Constitution, which wo have just framed, and the principles of the Union Republican party of Georgia. On motion of Col. Blodgett, the Conven tion took a recess of twenty minutes. After reassembling, Mr. Blodgett moved the appointment of a committee of seven, one irom each Congressional "District, to nominate delegates to the Chicago National Republican Convention. Carried. The Chair appointed as that Committee Messrs. Seeley, McCay, Edwards, White head of Butts, Conley, Hotchkiss, and Dunning. Mr- Hopkins moved tho appointment of a committeo of three to wait on Col. Bullock, notify him of his nomination as Republican candidate for Governor, and request his acceptance. Carried. The Chair appointed as that committee Messrs. Hopkins, Dunning, and Blodgett. Mr, Blodgett offered the following, which was adopted : Resolved, That the thanks of the Union party of Georgia are due, and are hereby tendered to the Cincinnati Gazette lor the truthful representation it has given to the country of the proceedings of the Constitu tional Convention, and of the acts and motives of the Union party of this State. Governor Brown, Gen. Gartrell and Col. Furay were requested to address the Conven tion. On motion, the Convention adjourned till 7£ o’clock. At 7£ o’clock, p. m., the Convention reas sembled, and was addressed by Gov. Brown, Gen. McCay, Col. Farrow, Col. Broyles, Cob Wimpy, Mr. Furay, and Dr. Bard. The addresses were, all of them, able and elo quent. The Convention was further addressed by a number of delegates, including Colonel Parrott, Colonel Ashburn, Dr. Blount, Mr. Whiteley and Mr. Brayant. But as our columns nre so crowded this morning, we cannot give their remarks. After adjournment, the hand, which had been in attendance during the meeting, proceeded with the members of the Conven tion to the National Hotel, where a serenade was given to Colonel Bullock—and the serenades refreshed themselves after the usual manner.
