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 R. C. Badger, the father of the reso lutions, asked that Williamson's motion, which tabled them, be withdrawn in order that he might make an explana tion.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 ard of Mecklenburg, 5; Benjamin, of Wilmington, 1. 41LU-1C WVU. -v 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 iHE IMIMT -JM-EWS. 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 Was the cause 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 whereto go, where to strike, what to 1 1 I A A J 3 A. I .1 J i say, ana wnat to uo, auu wiiu ine aiu of "his blessed Redeemer" be would 1 come out ahead with the ticket. The 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 1 T, . a negroes was dispensed with. The j following resoultion was of- feied by Gen. Ruf us Barringe, the same in suDstance tnat was referred to a Committee d uring the morning session: JCesolvea. That the Republicans of! North Carolina desire that the law be impartially carried out in the case of Hon. J. C. Abbott, now pending in the Senate of the United States, and it it I ; ' y - should be found that he is legally enti- I ted to the seat, it would not only be gratifying to them,but in their opinien would best subserve the public interest ot the State and be in accordance with the wishes of a majority of the people. that he be seated, and such result I would be a merited rebuke to the spirit J oi contempt and efianc? of the nation- FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 19 1872. al Constitution manitested fby a maior- 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 it . m. . ' . i . that effect. 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- 1 - 4 . .11 ing, at Metropolitan Hall, was the time and place for men that were men.ito rise and renounce forever the evil and 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 Burns, of Chatham for, Superintendent ot Public Works--elected by acclama tion. ' i - I -. 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 less "advocacy of Republican princi ples when he was with ns, and now that he is a martyr in exile at Washington, Resolved. That we endorse him in the past and shall ever cherish bur love 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 A Resolution of thanks to the officers was passed. i i Delgates appointed to the Puiladel- phia Convention. Alter the passage of a few more un important resolutions, and much speech ifying, in which one or two new con verts participated, the! Convention ad journed sine die. ! 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.

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.
