business for which it had assembled.
Mr. Daniel, of Richmond, oflered a
resolution providing for one convention to

cago, Presidential electors, candidates for
Governor and fcjtate House officers.
Judge Hall offered a substitute, which
provided for one convention upon the
same plan, adopted in 187<1.
Both resolutions and the one convention
idea were forcibly opposed by Mr. De*sau,
Mr. Lawson and Gen. Noting. Judge
Hall. Col. Harris. Dr. Carlton and Col.
Daniels spoke in favor of one convention.
After considerable discussion, it was de
rided to put all the motions aside and take
a direct vote upon the number of conven
tions to be held, one or two. . When that
vote was had the result was for one con
vention 7, for two conventions 10.
Thus one very important question was
easily settled.

“Defiance,*! Gets Bruised Up.
Atlanta Journal.
A lively fight took place at the custom
house this morning between Howard Hor
ton, the janitor, and George Wilcox, editor
of the Defiance, both colored.
It is the business of the janitor to keep
all parties out of the custom house ex
cept tb6se who have business there.
During the early hours of the day when
offices are all thrown open and the work
of sweeping out, etc., is bring carried on,
these orders are perhaps more strictly ob
served than at any other time in the day.
as the janitor is held responsible for any
thing that might be missing from the of
fices. This morning, l*etore court opened.
George Wilcox entered the custom-house
and started to ascend the fir*t ffight of
stairs.
“Hold onj yon can’t go up there,” ex
claimed the janitor.
“Why can't I?”
“Because, I sez you can’t,” said Hor
ton.
“Wh$t right have you pot to say where
I shall go?” answered Wilcox.
“Because I’ve got orders to keep peo
ple out of here who have no business in
here.”
“Well. I am an editor, and I have got a
right to go into any building 1 please, and
I am going up stairs to see Mr. Boyd.”
Wilcox then started up, but Horton
seized him and threw him down stairs.
Wilcox Quickly regained his feet and a
lively fight ensued, in which Wilcox was
badly bruised about the head and face,
and Ilorton received a painful kick on one
of his leg*. Jvwernl parties who were near
interfered and the fracas ended. Those
who witnessed the diflicutly describe it as
being a very amusing affair*

The President continues to receive letters
from all over the country tinting him to
veto tile Fitz-Jolm Porter bill. Porter's
opponents claim that Mr. Arthur will in
jure Ids Presidential chances by signing
tile hill. There has been a divided house
hold at the Executive Mansion on tills
subject. Mrs. llayncswortii is opposed to
restoring Porter and Mrs. McKIroy is in
favor of it: so the President is between his
sister*. Mr*, Haynesworth is the better
politician, but Mrs. McKIroy is a stronger
partisan. The flrst is a clever woman who
lias never caret! for gay society, but who
lias devoted her time to her family, to
reading and to political questions of the
day. Mrs. McKIroy is to many more at
tractive and persuasive. It is said that
she is the favorite sister n( the President,

sister, and certainly pasraesl he tart and

Texas, on the education bill, emptied it
self into the cloak room to do honor to the
ex-president. Democratic Senators, e-q**-
daily of the soldier element, were a*
prompt to present themselves as were the
Republican leaders. Senators Sherman
and Ransom, Hoar and Coluiiitt, formed a
group in pleasant conversation about the
General aJmost as soon as he entered the
cloak room. Senator Lamar came in very-
soon, and had barely finished a very cor
dial interchansre of compliments when
Senator Edmunds entered, suggesting to a
Henatorwho remembered the fierce en
counter between the Vermont Senator
and the Senator Horn Mh.dssippi a
few week* ago the observation that
Grant waa indeed a great pacificator since
he had brought I^imar and Edmund* to
gether. It was noticed that the two Sena
tors did not remain together long. Sena
tors Wade Hampton and Butler, of South
Carolina, both distinguished Confederate
cavalry leaders, were impressively greeted
by Gen. Grant and were reciprocal in
warmth of manner. Senator I/igan re
mained close tohi* old chief .luring his
stay at the capitol. Senator Hawley, of
Connecticut, another Presidential candi
date, engaged Gen. Grant in along and
friendly conversation. Gen. Grant is evi
dently convalescing rapidly. His conver-
nation was unusually animated and was
cheerful throughout.
