Smith, who is familiarly known as “Extra Biil Smith, the war governor of Virginia. The whole’ affair 1s alleged to have grown out of an editortal article in the Whig of June Ist, the Utle of which was * Political Pirates,” and in which the course of leading politicians of Vir- ginia and the Confederacy was very severely criticised. Gov. Smith was one of those criti- cised by the editorial. His son took up the affair and challenged the editor, The duel was fought Sunday morning, at 6 o’clock, with duel- tng pistols.

It is stated that when Elam fell Smith came forward and the com- batants shook hands, and, Smith cores the deepest regret that necessity for the unfortu- hate meeting had arisen, Elam in reply sald he felt infinitely relieved that he, instead of Smith, had been wounded. The parties then Separated In the most amicable manner. It is understood that Mr. J. B. Walters, of the Whiz, acted as second for Mr. Elam, and Mr. “Barney” Greene, of Fauquier, represented Mr. Smith in astmilar capacity.

The sixth day of the convention opens with the conviction among many of the delegates that it will result ina nomination. It was the field last night that moved and carried an ad- journment, and on whomsoever it can unite he Will be to-day nominated. The opinion seems to be that late to-day Washburne, or possibly Garfield or Edmunds will be the fortunate man, though the Grant line will remain solid for some Ume in the neighborhood of 300. It 1s still con- fident and fired a salute last night over its vic- tory in forcing the opposition to adjourn, and if it can secure eighty votes out of the break up, of which the leaders are absolutely confident, then Grant will be nominated. Such was the situa- Uon when the convention came to order this morning. The Morning Papers take different views. The Times thinks the Grant line will Aght it out if 1t takes all sum- mer. The Zntey-Ocean says there fs no doubt that Grant will secure enough from Wisconsin and elsewhere to nominatehim. The Tribune, strong anti-Grant, this morning discusses the Possibility of his nomination, which virtual ad- nulssion, very much elates the Grant men. Urging the Grant Leaders to Stick. There are hundreds of dispatches from all parts of the country to the Grant leaders urg- ing them to stand firm. A.B. Mullett tele- graphs Irom New York that the enthusiasm Is ed for Grant, and that he can carry New A Telegram From Secretary Sher- man. Secretary Sherman telegraphs to the Florida delegation, in answer to telegram that Smith Was voting for him against instructions, but for tear of removal, as follows: “He should vote as he pleases, without fear or favor, and so as to represent his consttuents fairly and fully.” Se Se Associated Press Report. Opening Proceeding’s To-day. CHICAGO, June 8,—The chair called the con- vention to order at 10:35 o'clock, at which hour the delegates were generally In their seats, und the gaileries three-fourths filled. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Thomas, of the Centennary Methodist Church of Chicago. The Twenty-Ninth Ballot. ‘The chair ordered the roll call for the 29tq ballot and {twas proceeded with. When the state of Alabama was called and the vote was announced, its correctness was questioned by a member of tbe Ca and the chair ordered the roll of delegates to be called. ‘Then one of the delegates stated thata col- league was absent sick and had authorized him to cast his vote for him, and he asked whether he could do so. To this the chairman replied that the roll-call must not be interrupted, and that the question would be decided when It arose. ‘The roll-call went on, and when the name of Alexander was called and responded to the question was raised as to whether the response had been made by Alexander; it was admitted that it had not been. A second delegate from Alabama also failed to respond, and then when the delegates were called the names of theal- ternates for the absent delegates were called. ‘There was a response, however, from only one of them. The chair stated as his mode of executing the rule on the subject that in the case of a faflure Of a delegate to respond the name of the alter- nate standing 0} te On the roll could be called, and If he dtd not respond then the names of the other alternates from that district would be called, and tn the case of delegates at large the names of other alternates of that Class would be called. The vote of Alabama was then announced as Grant 15; Blaine, 1; Sherman, 3. ‘The result of the decision was to lose Grant one vote. When Virginia was called the chatr- man announced 16 fot Grant, 3 for Blaine and 3 for Sherman. A colored delegate challenged the vote, and a roll was called in detail, when 4 re- sponded for Sherman instead of 3, as previously announced. Mr. Carter, a delegate at large, was absent, and an alternate responded for him. Subsequently the delegate who had changed from Blaine to sherman, changed his vote back to Blaine, which lett Vee recorded as origi- nally: Grant, 16; Blaine, 3; Sherman, 3. Thirticth Ballou Alabama Casts ifs full vote, and so galns one for Grant. Florida transfers one from Sherman te Grant. Illinois transferred two from Wash- burne to Blaine.

ONE VOTE FOR SHERIDAN. When the teiritory of Wyoming was called the response which had invariably been “Grant, Blaine,” was changed to “Blaine, 1; Gen. Patlip N. Sheridan, 1.” For some time tt was sup- posed the last vote was for Sherman, aad the clerk so announced {t, but when the real fac’ came out it was appreciated by the convention and audience and there was a good deal of en- thusiasm stirred up. Gen. Sheridan, who had @ seat on the platform, was approached b: Chairman Hoar and pleasantly congratulated. GEN. SHERIDAN’S LITTLE SPERCT. Then, with the assent of the chatr, the eneral stepped to the edge of the platform ved his acknowledgment and sald: T am very much obliged to the delegate from Wyom- ing for mentioning my name in the convention and there is no way in which I could accept a nomination by this convention except I would be permitted to turn it over to my best friend. (Cheers. } Sheridan then returned to his seat and the chairman (apologetically) said that the chair had presumed upon the permission of the con- vention to allow the fllustrious soldier who had Just. spoken to interrupt the order of che pro- ceedings; that, however, would be a privilege accorded to no other person whatever. The result of the ballot was then announced: A Point. When the 30th ballot was taken when Flor- ida voted, a delegate questioned the accuracy of its announcement. A Kentucky delegate made the point of order that under the rules no one could question the announcement of a vote except a member of the delegation whose Vote fs challenged. At first the chair ruled that any member of the convention could so chal- lenge, but reversed nis decision after the rule had been read, so as the challenge of Florida’s vote came from outside of the state it was not entertained, ‘ty-second Bailot. +, On the 32d ballot Indiana transfers 5 from Blaine to Washburne; New Mextco, 1 Blaine to Conkling, (laughter); Wyoming, 1 Sherman to Grant; Grant, 305; Blaine. herman, 118; , 11; Washburne, 37; Windom, 3; Gait onkling, 1.

Commissioners. and 1a charge of the records of the assessor's office were suspended curing the examination in the case.” Th reference to this communteation and in connection with the recommendation therein contained, I have to say that trom what I know Of the Investigation referred to and of the test!- Tony already taken, I am justified in saying that there has been nothing involving the char- acter of the gentlemen named for honesty and integrity or tending to connect them criminally with the frauds under investigation. Never- theless, I deem it my duty to concur in the recommendation of the grand jurors, and to say thet in my opinion thetr request should be granted if 1t can be done without any detri- mect to the public service, and ts consistent with your views of what is right and just.” ‘The Coramissioners, in a letter to Mr. Roome, You will observe that the attorney ex- eS his conviction that from what he Knows e Investigation and of the testimony al- dy taken there 1s nothing tnvolving the Character of yourself or Mr. Beall for honesty and Integrity, or tending to connect either of you with the frauds under investigation. In this expression of the attorney we heartily con- cur. Nevertheless, under proper advice, we deem it expedient to comply with the request cf the grand jury, to the extent of granting to youand Mr. Beall a furlough pending their action on the case or cases before them.” OUR CANAL INTERESTS.
