" TU Radicals of lb Fourth Congrwiial
district met la uominatlDg convention at
Frankliuton to-day. The scene wu an
unusually disgracefully one. Major Wra.
A. Smith, of Jobiiaton, received the nomi
nation on the fourth ballot. The coatest
lay between Smith and Young, Jonee
Jvig withdrawn la favor of Smith. Tho
majority for Smith, over Toung, wu a
fraction ef one rote. T. M. Argo wu
nom nated ft Elector.
The acenea ware of tlie wildest and most
atormy description. Jones and Toung had
a fight during tlx Convention and the
greatest excitement waa produced. The
Convention Itself was a perfect Bedlam,
Gbucxsmbo', May H.
The Radical Congressional Convention
lor this, the Fifth district, which met here
to-day, nominated Thomas Setlle.for Con
grass, by acclamation. S. A. Douglass re
ad ved the nomination of Presidential
Elector, and James C. Itoyd and Thos. It.
Keogh were chosen as delegates te the
rhlladelphla Convention, with G. M. Ar
nold (colored) and J. Mania as alternates.
Tke Maalripal Muddle.
We suppose that officials never placed
tliemsolvea in a more silly and ridlculens
position than the three negro and two whit
Aldermen of this city have, In regard to the
number of votes which th Mayor, or mora
properly speaking, " the presiding Alder
luan " has in tin lr meetings. As neither
of the whites, in question, have credit fur
much parliamentary knowledge, or knowl
edge of any oilier kind, Indeed, except to
deceive Ignorant negrota Into supporting
tliem foroflice, we suppose their stupidity
is not to be wondered at
Suppose the Brd should decide to give
Mayor Wilson two votes, of what effect
would It be ? Tie absuid decision would
not make it legal. No cle tlen made under
it would be binding in law. No ordinance
passed by the eleventh vote of a Beard ef tm
Aldermen would be binding upon the citi
zen, and no taxes similarly levied ceald be
collected. Meyor Wilson can hare no more
power, as a member of the municipal gov
ernment, than was conferred upon him at
the polls by the vote of the citizens. lie
wu elected one Aldciman, and not (we.
Dut we refer here to this matter to cor
rect a mlsapprcluuisiou in which Mr,
London, one of the counsel consulted, Las
fallen Into in regard to the practice In the
North Carolina Senate. We are especially
familiar with its rules, or rather was when
it wu organized, as Is our Board of Alder
men, by Uw election of one of its Members
A as presiding officer. It wu never claimed,
nor such power exercised, u the Speaker

vnj mm mvurvvi oo'iu uren i v ssg mjv
casting vote In case of a tie. In election
the Speaker's name was first called, and be
then gave the only vote to which lie wu
entitled. On the passage of bills his
name wu never called, and he only voted
when his vote was necessary to pass or
reject the measure, lie had the right to
vote upon every measure, but he seldom
exercised the right unless his vote became
necessary.
This Idea of the presiding officer having
two votes seems to hsve gained some
credence from the fact that when the affir
mative vote Is but ono larger than the
negative, the presiding officer can exercise
his right to vote, which, if cast la the
negative, defeats the proposition under
consideration for the want of a majority In
ha favor, and not that he can vote again,
there being a tie.
This matter wu expressly decided In the
Senate last Winter when Mr. Flkkmiwo,
the Senator from McDowell, who wu tem
porarily In the Chair, after having voted
upon the regular call of his name, and
there being a tie, proposed te give the
easting vote as presiding officer. " Aa
appeal was taken from his decision, aad
the appeal wu sustained by a large ma
joriry. .-. r
