THE RADICAL CONVENTION.
SECOND AS.D LIST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
THE WHOLE TICKET NOMINATED.
Brogden Would Electrify his 'Au
dience, but the Thin:
Conld
not be Done.
THE CONVENTION AD JO URNS.
The Convention met at 10 o'clock.
S. F. Phillips, President, in the chair.
Under the call for unfinished business
the tail end of yesterday's resolutions in
regard to the sense of this Convention
that Abbott should be seated I at once,
was taken up.
R. C. Badger, the father of the reso
lutions, asked that Williamson's motion,
which tabled them, be withdrawn in
order that he might make an explana
tion.
Williamson rose and claimed the floor
on a question 01 privilege. Sam he
opposed the resolutions, not from any
ill will to Abbot, but for the damaging
effect that their passage would have
upon the party in the coming campaign.
He then branched off on the general
merits of the resolutions, whn the
President rapped, him down.
Mr. Badger attempted to explain his
resolutions, which he said had been mis
understood by the Convention, when
Williamson, again got the floor, and
moved the reference of the resolutions
to the Committee on Resolutions. Ad
opted. Henderson, of Davidson, moved that
no member be permitted to speak more
than once on any question and then not
to occupy more than five minutes.
An Edgecombe white, man, moved
that the Convention go into an election
for a condidate for j, Lieut." Governor,
adopted.
Alter the various nominations had
been made the roll of the counties were
called and the ote on the 1st ballott
stood as follows
C. II. Brogden, 42; A. S. Seymour,
13; J.
Harris,
16 ; G.
B. Resspas, 5; C L.
25; R. L. Patterson, 16;
W. Price, col., 12; Jeemes
H. Harriss, 1 ; necessary to choice 54
consequently no election; upon the sec-
ond ballot Curtis H. Brogden received
a majority and was declared duly elec
ted. In accordance with the fashion
he came forward on the stage to accept
the nomination. In this speech, was
enacted the force of the day's proceed
ings. He commenced in a high pitched
voice with the regular sing-song of an
old fashioned itinerant camp-meeting
preacher ; the undulations of his voice,
excepting the famous ery being exactly
the same. He continued his speech,
relating all the incidents of his life
from the time he left the plow handle.
It was soon apparent that his audience
was wearing out, but being their newly
elected Lieut. Governor,they were afraid
to say anything. Finally a largejdouble
jointed "darkey" blacksmith from
Orange, raised from his seat and said,
Mr. cheermm, I move dat de gemmen
wher i3 sDeaking retires." Unconcer-
ted, the Lieutenant Governor that is to
be, kept on.
Next a friend approached him on
the stand and whispered to him that he
was worrying his audience, and must
desist, but Brogden was yet unsble to
see it, out raised nis voice ana essayeu
. . i a 3
to keep on. At this juncture the au
dience "gin clean out," and an attempt
was made to drown him out by trc
mentions cheering and applause but had
no effect. This old man misconstrued
the applause," which was intended to
drown out, raised his voice a key note
higher and thus continued to harrass
the Convention, until he was almost
dragged off the stage. After the nomi-
nation of Brogden, Col. T. L. Hargrove,
ot Granville, was nominated for Attor
ney General and unanimously elected
by acclamation. He too followed the
style, but having witnessed the manner
in wuicn nis predecessor naa uisgustea
1 1 T.I . , ,. .
the audience made only a few remarks,
and retired.
T. F. Lee, of Wake, named the ap-
pointment ot a Committee of one from
each Congressional District to T-econa
mend four persons and four alternates'
to represent the State at large in the
Philadelphia Convention, adopted
Price, col'd. of Wilmington, moved
that the Convention now go into elec
tion of a candidate for Secretary of
State, adopted.
The roll of the counties was called,
resulting in no election on first ballot.
Vote stood as follows : W. H. Hower
ton. 30 : Lottin. 23 ; Dr. Menninger 16 ;
T. M. Argo. 15 ; Mabson, col'd, 9 ;
Thomas, of Franklin. 10 : Dr. Pritch

of
Wilmington, 1.

On the second ballot Dr. W. H. How-
erton received a maiority of all the
votes and was duly declared the candi-
date. He came foward (of course) and
accepted the nomination, in a few brief
remarks in which he promised faithful-
tn the nartv. said something about
Grant and retired.
A colored Crayen delegate placed in

RALEIGH, N. C.;
nomination David A. Jenkiia, of Gas
ton, for Treasurer, Mabson colored of
New If anover, moved as an amendment
that the election be by acclamation;
Harriss, Seems H. col'd said it was no
amendment but a substitute, here a
man in the rear of the Hall moved an
adjournment.
Mabson, exci tedly declared this move
for an adjournment was offered by an
enemy to Jenkins, and the party here
commenced another scene -of confusion I
and excitement that beirars deserin "I
tion A dozen or more were speaking
at one time. The President drummed
on the floor with his big hickory, and
with the aid of the Marshal and Ser
geant at arms order was restored. The
motion for an adjournment was voted
down and the election for State Treas
urer commenced.
The following names were placed in
nomination : D. A. Jenkins Gaston : S.
H. Wiley, Rowan ; Jno. Watts, Martin;
Owen H.l Barney, New Hanover; John
Norfleet, Edgecombe.
D. A. Jenkins, the prasent incumbent.
was elected on the first ballot: came
forward, said his say about Ku Klux
Democracy Grant and his " party of
progress," after which he gracefully re-
- j . i. i l
tirred to enjoy his triumph.
A btokes county delegate, moved that
a committee of two from each Congres
sional District be appointed to recom
mend to the convention the names of
electors for the State at large.
Another scene ot general confusion
occurred on the nomination ot candi
dates for! Auditor, in the midst of which
the convention managed to adjourn for
dinner.
Afternoon Session.
At 3:30 o'clock the meeting re-assem
bled.
Some i of the delegates had "struck
for their homes, their firesides and their
little ones," and consequently the atten
dance was somewhat smaller.
A slight confusion apparent several
parties endeavored to advocate the mer-
rits of their Iriendsfor the office ef
State Auditor, but they were in each
case gagged by cries ol "object 1" "ob
ject 1" Geo. Arnold, colored, from Cas
well, sun insisted ne should nave one
word. The Chair denied him the priv
ilege, and vet the fiery Arnold tcould.
be heard the house would not howev
er, near nim. (Better luck ' next time,
Arnold -he thould have a little time to
blow off his gas.)
The Voting for the nomination of
State Auditor was then; proceeded
with, j
Arnold nnauy got in Aw ward in
casting the vote of Caswell he said the
delegation voted for Albright, because
he was a 'Ire-tried republican." He
took his seat, well contented with hi
say. a very black man from Granville
wanted t expatiate upon the merits of
his favorite, bat be could not .obtain
permission to do so.
Chair announced Committee to re
commend Electors for the State at
large, and the said committee retired.
No election for Auditor on first bal-
lot, and tne roll ot counties was. again
called. Linsey withdrew his name from
the contest, and hoped his friends
would vote for Mabson.
Some confusion being apparent, the
Chair called for the Sergeant-at-Arms.
The friends of the candidates with
drew all names except Hubbs and Riley,
who had an exciting race. The result
proved for Riley 60, Hubbs 40. Riley
having received a majority, he was de
clared elected and trotted out He
returned his thanks, &c, for the honor
conferred. Promised to work well in
harness,! and to perform his duty pro
vided he is elected.
The Committee appointed to recom
mend Electors for the State at large,
reported the ' names Thomas Settle,
and Marcus Erwin.
Assistant electors, as canvassers, were
recommended, one lrom each Congres
sional District.
Arnold, the colored delegate from
Caswell,1 offered a series of resolutions
conccrniEg the rights . of all . citizens,
equality before the law, &o., &c. Of
course the resolution was adopted, as
due defference was paid to all motions,
&c, offered by " de color."
Judge Thomas oettle, ot Peru via
Rockingham, came forward on the stand
and nominated lor buperintendant of
Public Instruction, his old friend of
Franklin county. Rev. Jas. Reid.
Marshal Carrow, acting as Marshal of
the day. with his position in the front
aisle, so inspired with the appearance
of the distinguished Peruyan on the
stage, exclaimed in the fulness of his
heart,"I seconds the motion, and move
that he be elected by proclamation."
Loud shout? of laughter and applause,
even by the negroes, and the exposure ot

of at least five minutes suspension of
business.
The Marsh all's motion was carried,
and the aged political parson was elect-
ed by acclamation. After his election,
he followed the example of his prede
cessors, came to the front, promised to
work and elect the ticket. He knew

old man retired amidst the deafening
applause of his new found friends. Our
same old shouting, grey-headed gent,
could not resist this politico sermon,
and re-organized his camp meeting
under the nose of the President, much
to the annoyance of this dignified
sonage.f l he hand shaking with the

The j following resoultion was of-

lityofthe members of the last legisla
ture. . J - ' - . - !-
The General advocated the passage
of the resolution. He was followeji by
the colored preacher, Hood, who ! had
much to say about Abbott's claims on
the party, that he was the representa
tive of the party in the State, and as
such the U. S. Congress should jeat
him. That the Legislature that elected
Ransom was Democratic, and therefore
nnr.nnatitntional : and as Ahrmtfitpoo
elected by the only votes CRepublicanV
that' Congress should recognize, ihev
ought at once to answer the demand of
this body to seat him. (While we do
not use his language, this was positive
ly the subs tan e of his remarks.) i He
was warmly applauded, and huzzad by
tne nouse. Unly a lew honest white
men exhibited any opposition to these
extravigaot , remarks. Maj. WmL A.
Smith, in order to save the character of
the party before these resolutions could
be passed, moved an adjournment tine
die. He wa3 hissed down, principally
by the colored delegates, and - after-
Wards, when he left the Hall, the
del-
egate Arnold said he
had gone to join
his friends the Democrats, or! words 'x

Jeems Harriss made a speech in favor
of the Abbott resolutions.; He de
nounced, jn unmeasured terms, the leg
islature that elected Ransom to .he U.
S. Senate, whom he said was a tool to
do their dirty work : that the
Legislature was composed of midnight
murderers and assassins ku-klux. &c.
We expected no more than such lan
guage from such a source and while we
were prepared to sit there quietly $s a
reporter and hear it, yet we regarded
with sympathy, maay of i our white
friends connected with the bartv. who
were compelled to force a smile of ap
probation, and join their applause with
the men torwhom they had sold them
selves, for a price. We must confess
that we were surprised that ! there wjere
no more men like Major Smith, who
were independent enough, then and there,
to leave the hall in disgust.! We believe
that others many others, j whose self-
respect and esteem will force them from
mis mongrel crew, out yesterday even-

ing, at Metropolitan Hall, was the time
and place for men that were men.ito

errors they had fallen into.! f
After the passage of the I resolutions.
Abbott appeared on the stage and
thanked the Convention for the passage
of the i same. Said he I could now
go back to Washington 'city and caijry
the expressed wishes of North Carolina
for the seat he had' been I illegally de
prived of for the past fourteen months
by a product of North Carolina Demqc-
racy. Alter Abbott s speech, a dele
gate lrom Chatham, nominated Silas

The followingjresolatiohs were offered
by a Green county delegate and unani
mously received : . -
Resolved. That W. W. Holden deserves
from the Republican party of North
Carolina, the kindest affection and
deepest gratitude for his manful and
hard defence of them in j 1869-70 from
the assaults of the kn-klux Democracy;
for his universal and consistent defence
of the poor and humble I when he wa3
Governor, and his faithful and ceasep

he is a martyr in exile at Washington,
Resolved. That we endorse him in

for him in the future, and we have con-
hdent hope and trust that the time is
not far distant when he shall return to
his. native State again to battle for the
Union, for the equality 1 before the law
and for progressive principles of Re
publicanism. -
A resolution in regard to the btate
county and township organizations was
adopted. I

important resolutions, and much speech

verts participated, the! Convention ad

We call attention to the card of that
honest Republican, Maj. W. A. Smith,1
I protesting against the absurd claims of;
Gen. Abbott to the Senatorship. The
letter does great credit to Mai. Smith.
We shall have more to say of this mat
ter hereafter.
Maj. Smith was Chairman of the
Johnson delegations and cast the vote of
that county for Gov. Caidwell.
l For the Daily News,
; A CARD.
I desire to enter my solemn protest
against the action of the Republican
state Convention.in relation to the res-
olutions introducea in mat Doay loucn-
nr the auestiOn of the United States
Senatorship.
When the resolutions were first intro
duced on yesterday, I bitterly opposed
them for the reason tnat tney, m enect,
endorsed the claims ot Gen. Joseph C.
Abbott for the Senatorship, and in-
Rtrncted the United States Senate to
admit him. When the resolutions came
nrj to-day for discussion in the Conven
tinn thp. aatf-law was applied, and the
I vnfoea of those who opposed them were
A in the deafening shouts of the
i uivn w m - t
multitude, so that all discussion on the
I merits of the resolutions was shamefully
cut oft
I take this method, Jirst. ot protesting
against the discourteous conduct of the
Convention in refusing to hear the op
ponents of the resolutions, and secondly,
-- j Mnl ! A ab1 t- A-na
themselves, as being un-American, un-
- ' -
w
Republican, totally at war with every
precedent, and suoversive oi every
x i-
principle of true Republican govern
menL. I am clearly of opinion that Gen.
Abbott is not entitled to the seat, but
that Gen. Matt W. Ransom is. At the
time of the election ot Gov.' Vance, the
Democrats having neanj iwo-ipirus
maioritv. the rote for Abbott was con
sidered by the Republicans as simply a
J complimentary onej as no one dreamed
at that time, that he stood the ghost of
a chance of an election. Wishing to
compliment a personal friend, I threw
my vote away on him. -
If this question j of Senatorship was
left to a majority of the best and most
intelligent Republicans of the State,
(which of course j would exclude the
carpet-bag clique,' I am satisfied that
their sense of justice, decency and pro
priety would award the seat to General
Ransom in preference to Gen. Abbott.
Respectfully,
I s Wm. A. Smith.
Raleigh, April. 18th, 1872. ?
Oxford Items. Our Oxford corre
spondent, under date of yesterday, gives
us the following items :
Charades and Feast. A series of
Charades will be acted at Thespian Hall
on. Tuesday evening, (it being Court
week,) April 23d, under the supervision
of Mrs. T. B. Venable and Miss Marga
ret C. Taylor. At the conclusion of the
charades a feast, gotten up under the
direction of Mrs. Sarah A. Elliott, will
be served in the spacious dining-room of
the Osborn House. The proceeds aris
ing from both of these sources will be
appropriated for repairing and refur
nishing the Episcopal parsonage. We
trust that the laudable purpose these
ladies and their assistants have in yi ew
will meet with eminent success.
Hurrah for old Granville! We are
informed by a prominent gentleman
from Richmond, who is engaged in the
tobacco commission business in that
city, that Granville county raises to
bacco of finer - quality than is grown
elsewhere, either in North Carolina or
Virginia. Tobacco dealers from Vir-
mnill KavA hoon TMirttioclnfr a nn tvKo r 4
crops in different parts of the county.
We understand Capt. T, B. Lyon sold
to one of these dealers, a crop at $47.00
per iuu pounds, all round, it being a
crop Capt. L. had recently purchased of
one ot nis neighbors.
Building and Loan Association. The
next regular meeting of the People's
Building and Loan Association will
take place on Friday night, the 19th

soni 3 features in connection with the
working of the association which will
most probably dc very instructive to
those who have not given the subject
much attention. The Board of Di
rectors will meet on Monday night,
April the 22nd. . -
Resolutions of Respect. At a
meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Raleigh & Gaston R. R., held in
Raleigh on April 17th, 1872, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted :
Whekeas, Since the last meeting of
this Board a sudden death has deprived

esteemed officer.
Resolved. That in the death of Capt.
Jeptha Horton, the Road has lost a long
tried and laithtul servant who in various
capacities has served the Road for over
a quarter ot a century with the greatest
fidelity, and who during that time has

unspotted reputation for probity and
fidelity worthy of all imitation.
Resolved. That as a testimonial ot
the long services and high character of
the deceased and the high estimation
in which he was held, these resolutions
shall be spread upon our minutes.
Resolved, That a copy of thes Keso-
lutions be sent to the

NOON DISPATCHES.
New York Affairs.
New York, April 18.
Charles Hoffman,-a Cincinnati lager
beer brewer, was been robbed of seven
thousand five hundred dollars in bonds
at "the Panel House last night.
The committee from the Georgia Le
gislature, who arrived in this city last
week for the registration of bonds ne
gotiated for here and elsewhere, are
busily engaged every day discharging
their assigned dutieb, and have thus far
acted upon over two millions of dollars
of Georgia bonds, including gold, cur
rency, Opera Hou; e ind Railroad bonds,
that have been presented to them by
holders or their agents, for registration.
No decision as to their validitv or cor
rectness has yet; been made by these
gentlemen, and! will not be until the
presentation of Georgia bonds shall
cease. 1 he committee are very desirous
of securing the attendance of Ex-Gov.
Bullock, and have made several efforts
to that end, but; up lo this time without ;
the least success. Hearing, more than
a month ago, that he was in New York
the committee wrote to him from Geor
gia, requesting; his,. appearance before
them when they should sit in this city
during this month, f To-this letter Gov.
Bullock replied that he did not think
he would be in New York during the
month of April, because business en
gagements elsewhere required his pres-
ce, tnereiore lie could not appear as
requested,, he would, however, refer the
committee to his attorneys in Atlanta.
who he said, could give them as much
inlormation about ;Georia bonds as
himself. In consequence of which, these
attorneys'were called upon, but instead
ot doing as .Bullock said they would,
they repeatedly declared that they knew
nothing about bonds, but they had sim
ply been retained by Bullock to defend
him before the Georgia courts in case
of arrest and criminal prosecution.
This is the nearest the committee have
come towards securing Bullock's atten
dance. The committee are so desirous
to secure his attendance, that by their
authority, the; following; proposition is
hereby made to him: That they will
pay all his expenses in coming' -to and
going from this cityi and allow him one
hundred dollars per day besides, whilst
in attendance, should he appear within
thq next ten days. The committee em
phatically deny that they were closeted
with Mr. Henry Clews, the late finan
cial agent of Georgia, in New York,
and of receiving instructions from him
how to conduct thejr investigation.
The Relations Between France and
i ! Germany.
jONDon, April 18.
The Daily Telegraph- in an editorial
article this morning, asserts in decided
terms, that its statements made a few
dys since, relative to the precarious
condition of the relations between
France and Germany are founded upon
undoubted facts. The lelegraph says :
u We deem it our .duty to declare the
certain and solemn fact, that upon
Thier's decision this week, depends the
fate of France. We are not speaking
rhetorically; We measure anxiously,
these most grave and momentous . words.
On Monday, Count Von Armin, the
German ambassador to France, carried
the ultimatum to Thjiers. The purport ot
this ultimatum is that Germany sees in
the French army bin, and the speeches
of , Thiers, menaces t vengeance, and a
programme lor tue eventual repudiation
by France oi her indebtedness to uer-
many, f rince uismarcK, tnereiore, de
mands that the armament of France be
reduced, and war estimates diminished,
or Jhe alternate will! be the re-occupa
tion of the fevacuatep French territory,
and war is necessant"
The London Te&graph says that its
statements relative Sto the critical con
dition of the relations between France
and Germany are tick.
