Rencontres Between the Delegates and Anticipated Duels. Letters from Mfayor Wood and Bdaward Bates, Rey dey OUR SPECIAL BALTIMORE DESPATCH. Barrons, June 19, 1860. ‘Bee great meeting in Monument square last night was addressed by Messrs. Morse, of Louisiana; Scovell, of New der t dereey ; Power, of Pennsylvania; Clayborne, Gaulden and others. ‘The defeat of the obnoxious and offensive proviso of Mr. ‘Svurch, of New York, to-day, in throwing obstructions in tthe way of the admission of the seceding delegates, is re- garded as a victory over the Douglas party, and as fore- tchadowing his final defeat. The Committde on Credentials fare mostly Douglas men, and will, it is believed, report against the admission of the seceders, or rather Propose as follows:—To reject Florida and Tex- as, admit both sides from Arkansas, and also the remaining now seceding delegates of Geor- gle, and the bogus delegation of Alabama; the Mississippi delegation to be admitted, but her presence not desirable, * ‘the design of this is to have Southern delegations of ‘some kind in the Coavention, in the event of the seceders foally withdrawing. Thus the Convention could not be called sectional ag to the complexion of its members, whatever it might be in its platform. A minority report will be presented, recommending the admission of the whole eight delegations upon their origi- mal credentials, It is expected this will be carried; if it fe pot, then the second secession takes place, leaving scareely more than the Northern democracy behind. The whole depends on the New York delegation, whose thirty- five votes constitute the balance of power, and the number stands, without New York, one hundred and ten and @ half for accepting it, to ninety-nine and a half aghinst ecoepting it, The vote of New York therefore turns the scale either way. It was the vote of New York struck the offensive clause from Church’s resolation to-day. The Regency in the New York delegation is split about Douglas. Cagger, Cassidy & Church go for Douglas at all hazards. Richmond wants to drop him, and take up Sey- wour, if the South will only offer him, Richmond, who is a practical man, wants to secure the ascendancy in New York State. He says” Douglas cannot be elected, while Seymour can. Yet Richmond and the majority of the New York delegation will continue to vote for Douglas till the South or the Convention offer them some man they can accept. This, says King Dean, will be my standpoint, and J will stick to it till the South comes to terms. It is now well understood that there is hardly one-fourth of the delegation original Douglas men; but they are merely Keeping together till they seo what may turn up about their respective favorites, or some man on whom they can unite. They expect in this way to borrow the whole strength of Douglas when they want it. But in this they are likely to be mistaken. It is probable that they will to-morrow yote for the unconditional admission of the the Northwest. In their local elections they believe that ‘with the name of Douglas they can do better than with any Sther, because his opinions approximate more pearly to the anti-slavery sentiment, and because be can, < @ therefore, take away votes from the republican strength. ‘This is the very argument, however, which renders Mr. Douglas obnoxious to the South. There is now oue whole vote gained against Douglas in Massachusetts, and three in Vermont, which was before a unit for him, while it is expected New Hampshire will soon be a unit against him. So says Paul R. George. It is very evident that the army of Mr. Douglas is demoralized, and that it will desert from bim by degrees, except the Northwest, which, like Napoleon's Old Guard, will stand by him to the last. Among those who will fight it out is John Clancy, of New York, who is worth any dozen of the leaders who are working here for the « ~—_ Little Giant. It is probable that the hopes of union and harmony will be disappointed, and that the followers of Mr. Dougins will insist on his nomination in some shape or other, and run him asa bolting candidate, if in no other way. Mr. Pugh in the Senate foreshadowed this, when he said that if Douglas was defeated they would carry his bleeding and mangled corpse to the Northwest and there exhibit him as a picture of the work of the South. Bautiwors, June 19—0 P. M. Since the foregoing was written, this afternoon, an inte- eating interview took place between Mr: Pugh and Mr. Barry, of Mississippi, in which the Ohio Senator reiterat ed the same sentiment as above in unmistakable language. He said if the New York delegation will give its casting ‘vote for the unconditional admission of the seceding dele- gations, then the Northwest will secede. Mr. Barry, on the other hand, said, in behalf of himself and his friends, that they would take no pledge. It was then agreed on all hands that the rupture cannot be healed, and that all hopes ‘of barmony are at an end. ‘The Northwest only numbers sixty-six votes, and if it secedes there will still be more than two-thirds left to make a nomination. If the Douglas men secede under such circumstances it will show that they were deter- mined to run him, whether he got the nomination or not. In this interview Mr. Barry stated what he said last night to the crowd when called on for a speech, that he ad no personal objection to Mr. Douglas, and the same 4 = Was true of all those with whom he acted. They would ail prefer the head of the sect to a mere imitator who edopted his principles, and especially if he was a South- ern traitor, There will thus be undoubtedly four candidates in the field for the presidency, and either Lincoln will be elected or there will be no election by the people, and it must go Into the House of Representatives, Douglas being thus disposed of in this Convention, the contest will be between Horatio Seymour and Dickinson. One argument urged in favor of Seymour ie, that the New England States are for him; but then it is replied they are republican States, and can do nothing to contribute to the election, Besides, this fact i¢ far from being a recom- mondation of, him to the South, Another fact that will fot recommend him i# that be is a Douglas man. Lastly, it ie urged that he would be, if elected, complete- Jy in the hands of the free soll Albany Regency—the Clique to which he is known to belong. It a contended by the friends of Dickinson that his re ©:7d j#@ national one; that he i well known to the Sonth, fad is acceptable to the whole democracy; that he can carry the State of New York better than any other demo- Crat; that his conservatism i¢ a pledge. to the commercial Bnd conservative classes that he will du what ix just and Fight. The New York delegation would prefer S+ymour, ut if the South propose Dickinson New York bas oo op tion bet to take him. Tt i# Bow discovered that Horatio S4ymour i# not fn eveh bad health after all as to refuse thegpemopaney Of the White House if it wore offered to bin Bavronr, Jane 1017 1 Thete wae a row today jn the Committee on “voter tials, and Iam informed one gentleman slapped another in the face. This shows the spirit that prevails. ‘The Keystone Club, who are on here from Philadel- phia in behalf of Douglas, had another fracas this morn- | ing with some of the Baltimore men. Notwithstanding | the vast congregation of fighting elements here, the citi- zens are not uneasy, reposing confidence in the efficiency of their present well organized police, who have become the terror of rowdies. Roger A. Pryor arrived to-day, and found that his plat- form would not answer, notwithstanding sundry amend- ments, his candidate being checkmated by the action of the New York delegation. To-morrow will be an important day here, and perhaps terminate the crisis. ‘The parties in the quarrel referred to above, before the Committee on Credentials, were Delaware delegates, of whom Mr. Whiteley was one. Besides this there was another, which might have been more serious, an Arkan- sas delegate having drawn a pistol. Mr. Stephens, of Massachusetts, was inatructed by his delegation to vote for the admission of the seceding dele- gates, but refused, The Committee on Credentials voted fifteen to ten in every case. Barmore, June 19—Midnight. The Committee on Credentials have been in session most of the day. Theit seasions are private, and they allow each party’claiming seats fifteen minutes to present their cases. It is said that the committee have resolved to admit Mississippi, who comes regularly delegated without contestants, and to reject Florida, which is un- accredited to the Convention, and Texas, where no con- vention has been held since the adjournment of the Charlegton Convention. The Arkansas case was taken up and presented by Col. Hindman, of Helena, for the Charleston delegates, and by Mr. Hooper, of Madison, for the contestants. During Col. Hindman’s remarks be designated the Con- vention held at Madison, where the Douglas contestants were appointed, at a mass meeting, and said that not more than one hundred and fifty persons were present, and that they were not all citizens of Arkansas. In the course of Mr. Hooper’s reply he pointed twice or thrice at Col. Hindman with his fingers, and ailuded to him as “that man” in a manner which Col. H. considered insulting, and he struck or threw the hand of Mr. Hooper away, as it nearly touched his head. ‘Mr. Hooper then prpceeded to gay that ‘the statement made by that man respecting the Madison meeting is false—unqualifiedly false.”” Col. Hindman immediately stepped in front of Mr. Hooper and struck bim in the face a tolerably hard blow, and then stepped back a little and drew a pistol from the pocket of bis pantaloons. 4 Mr. Hooper also prepared to draw a similar weapon, but the friends of Col. Hindman immediately surrounded him and told him he had gone far enough, preventing him from using the pistol. Col. Hindman subsequently apologised to the committee for the violence he had been obliged to use, and Mr. Hooper gave no further indications of retaliation, appa- rently satisfied that the affair bad been driven to a point where a hostile meeting must ensue. A duel between the parties is expected as a matter of course, but it will probably be delayed uutil the Conven- tion adjourns. . ‘The Committee on Credentials have decided to report favor of the admission of the Soule delegation from Loui- siana. Caucussing has been liberally carried on to-night. The Douglas men have made a tremendous rally, hav- ing been in consultation all the evening at Reverdy John- son's mansion. ‘The high tone assumed by the Southern delegates and their loud denunciations of the New York delegation has, apparently crested a reaction amongst the latter. ‘The talk now is that if the Southern seceders are ad- mitted it will only lead to new difficulty; that they will then put on arrogant airs, and bolt after all. It seems more likely now than last night that the New York delegation may uphold the report admitting the whole of the Soule or Douglas delegation from Louisiana, and that then all the other seceders will refuse to come im. This may after all lead to the nomination of Douglas. A difficulty of a personal character bas occurred be tween two Virginian delegates, and a hostile mecting has been agreed upon. One of the parties is supposed to be ‘Mr. Yost or Dr. Maffitt, a Douglas man. The name of the other is unknown. . The particulars are carefully concealed, but it is known that Mr, Pryor was sent for as a friend to one of the parties, and he arrived here to-day. Rumor says thata meeting is arranged for to-morrow from the fact of the sudden arrival of Mr. Pryor, THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. Baxtutorg, June 19, 1860. ‘The Convention was called to order soon after o'clock. ‘ . ‘The theatre was well filled, but not crowded. ‘The day was dark and gloomy, and the appearance of the inside of the theatre was improved by its brillian’ lighting with gas. ? On motion of Mr. Lepiow, of New York, the reading of the journal was dispensed with. ‘The question pending bein’ on ordering the previous question on the several me =. : cspecting the admission of , Mr. Cuvncn, of New York, asked consent to make a proposition to the Convention calculated to harmonize the pending motions, and to arrange in a friendly manuer the question of the admission of delegates. Cries of “Hear him,” “Hear him,’? and unanimous consent was given. . Mr. Cavrcn continued—On consultation with the gentie- man from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gilmore) an arrangement bad been agreed on, honorable to both parties, which he hoped would meet the concurrence of the Convention. It was proposed that Mr. Gilmore should withdraw his amend - ment, and that Mr. Church should withdraw the lat- ter portion of bis amendment, leaving only before the Convention that portion referring to the Committee on Credentials the claims of all delegates applying for seats in tho Convention. (Applause, and cries of “Agreed,’’ The PResmext—The Chair would inform the gentleman from New York that as the call for the previous question bas been seconded, the action be desires can —— reached by the Convention refusing to order the prev qnestbon, or by ubanimous consent to suspend the rules under which the Convention is acting. Mr. Cyrrci—Then | ask the unanimous consent of the Convention. Cries of “Granted ,”’ “Granted.” ‘The Paesipaxt—The Chair .will understand consent to be given to modify the resolutions as proposed. Ir GriLmoxe—In pursuance of this agreement, then, I now withdraw my amendment. Mr. Crvrct—And I withdraw the latter portion of my proposition, and offer, as an amendment in its place, the following — Resolved, that the credentials of all persons claim: seats in this Convention, made vacant by the secession dejegates at Charleston, be referred to the committee, which is hereby instructed, a# soon a8 practicable, to ex- amine the same and report the nares of the persons en- Litled to aueh seats, Mr. Simtxy, of Minnefota, eaid a controversy existed in the Minnesota delegation, and he desired to know if that also would be referred to the committee, Mr. Cuvkem understood that the resolution he had of- fered was already adopted by the Convention. If not, he hoped it would be allowed to be pat without any embar- Discussion had alreaty been bad, and to in- her jaswes would only reopen jt. He moved the »CHRANE rose to @ point of order. The Convention bad agreed to allow Mr. Gilmore to with draw bis amendment, and Mr. Church to modify his pro- position, This having been done, the question must re- Cur on ordering the previous question, which has already deen called and seconded The Preanevt decided that ench was the position of the jon, and svegested that the Minnesota case would be p hs » Convention at the proper time, He ex- Y ror be had made in stating yesterday that the proceedings of the Florida Couveution had been placed ofietaiiy ju his hands. The proceedings were only intended for his private information. Mr. Cucken'’s modified resolution, merely referring the credentials t the committee, was adopted by a unani- mous vote, Mr. PExxy, of Delaware, had consent to explain that the appilication of bis colleague, Mr. Saulebury, yesterday , for the admission of delegates to the floor, had been on ‘4 intended to apply to those delegates who remained wil the Convention at Charteston, and uot to the seeders. Mr. MeCoox, of Obie, moved to ajoarn. Mr. Vwiturs, of Pennsylvania, moved that when the Convention aljourns, it be till five P.M. Mr. Mowrooseny, of Pennsylvania, eaid that some con. tert existed over 8 seat in Massachusetts delegation which had better he settied at ones, © motion te adjonrn was withdrawn, and after some BF Haveerr, of Massachusetts, explained that he heent from the Charleston Convention, and ypoluted a substitute. He now reclaimed his seat, tate bellowed he had a right to retain it oh fee, logether with those in the EVENING SESSION. ‘The President called the convention to order at 5 P. M. Mr. Fuser, of Virginia, desired to know whether mem- bers of this Convention are to be excluded from this hall by police. If a0, #0 help me God J will not submit tosuch an outrage. I have my commission here, and if it is not my passport to this Convention I will not retain my seat here. (Laughter.) You have no right to keep traia bands at the door to prevent members entering the hall. The tickets had been changed since the morning session. Mr. Sremon, of New York, had been similarly treated at the door, but did not think it was any reason for a se- cession from the Convention or a dissolution of the Union. (Laughter.) Some of the officers have neglected their duty, and that is all I have to complain of. — Mr. Kine, of Missouri, called the attention of the Pre- sident to the fact that a portiqn of the delegates from Convention now adjourn. - juest of the President, Mr. Stewart suspended a few moments.

There is no foundation for the statements in the daily press of to-day that I have written @ letter favoring,the nomination of Mr. Douglas for the Presidency, or that I have condemned the secession of the Southern States from the Charleston Convention. I have written no such letter, and expressed no opinion contradicting my well known position on these subjects. My position has not in the least altered from what it was when I attended the Charleston Convention. I am in | favor of the restoration of peace to our troubled counsels, of a clear and unequivocal declaration of the rights of the South to take {ts property into the Territories, and to be protected there in those rights, and of the nomination of a candidate Ssho will command the support of the ua. tional democracy in every State. If, however, the Confeatean now in seesion at Balti more shall upon a platform and a candidate not altogether in mei oy with my own views, I shall, never theless, deem it the duty of every lover of his country to ae had the support of ite proceedings. danger of republican success, growing ont of our Aivisions, is teo imminent for any democrat to allow his individual preferences to interfere with the success of the democratic party at this critical juncture in the affairs of the country. Very respectfully, yours, FERNANDO WOOD. EDWARD BATES IN FAVOR OF LINCOLN AND HAMLIN. Sr. Loum, Jane 19, 1800. ‘The Demoerat to-morrow will contain Judge Bates’ let- ter in support of the Chicago nominees. After disclaiming that he feels the least pique or dissatiafaction at not be- ing nominated himself, be says that it is plain that the approaching coptest: must be between the democratic and republican parties, and he prefers the latter. The demo- cratic party, he says, has merged its existence in the ono idea of negro slavery, and ie whelly sectional. It has in various instances endangered the equality of co-ordinate branches of the government, and attempted to degrate the judiciary by striving to make a passive register of party decree. In most, if not ail things, he considers the republican party the opposite of the democratic, and therefore entitied to his support; and this would be « sufficient reason for his sapporting any man whom the repubiican party, might put forward, if he had not other good reasons for supporting Mr. Lincoln. The Union party be considers too weak to elect any candidate or establich any princi ple. He says he has known Mr. Lincoln for more than twenty years, and that he has earned a high reputation for truth, candor, courage, morals amd amiability; that he has talents, and he will use them to the best advan tage. He is the peer of the first men of the mation, and well able to sustain himeelf and advance canse Againat any adversary, and in any field where id and know ledge are the weapons used, that, in brief, he considers him a sound, safe, national man, who could not be sec. tional 4f he tried, for all his feelings and interests are identified with the great valley of the Mississippi, and that, for the good of the whole country, he hopes he may be elected.

Our Special Washington Despatch. Wasuinctox, June 19, 1360. and ‘Mr. Colfax reported to-night from the conference com- mittee of the two houses an agreement on the Homestead Dill. 38 provides that any person who is the head of a fa- mily may enter any quarter section subject to private en- try of the odd numbered sections of the surveyed land not offered for sale, and by occupancy five years, and pay- ment of twenty-five cents an acré, can take the title. All the pre-emptors now on land have two years from the passage of the bill to pay, at.the rate of 6234 cents per acre. @All lands in market three years or more ar’ ceded fo the States in which they are situated. This bill secures about balf the advantages allowed by Mr. Grow’ House Di. The conference of the House surrendered th provision which includes persons twenty-one years old the provision in favor of present pre-emptors, and rolat- ing to one half of the present pre-emptors, and relatin« to one half the surveyed lands not offered for sale. ‘THE APPROPRIATION BILIS—THE TWENTY MILLION LOAN. ‘The Conference Committees on the Civil and Miscella- neous and Legislative Appropriation bills are engaged to- night upon the various amendments in disagreement be- tween the two houses. The loan of twenty millions ap- pended by the Senate is in the former bill. The prospect is that. a compromise will be made by allowing a reissuing of the twenty millions of Treasury notes now authorised. ‘The Committee of Conference on the $21,000,000 loan proposition consists of Senators Hunter, Fessenden and Latham, and representatives Morrill, Howard of Michi- gan, and Phelps. ‘THR FINAL ADJOURNMENT. It is considered settied that Congress cannot adjourn earlier than Monday, the 25th. AKRIOUS ILLNESS OF MR. SCHWARTZ. Mr. Schwartz, of Pennsylvania, has been seriously il] for some days, and to-night is pronounced in a dying con- dition, He has suffered much during the whole Congress from a severe attack of jaundice. He is about sixty-eight years old. BRADY'S GREAT PICTURE. Brady’s great picture of the “Members of the House,” two hundred and forty heads upon one sheet, including contesting and sitting members, and the Clerk, now on exhibition in the Capitol, is the most attractive feature here, and is considered @ wonderful achievement of pho” tographic art. It is likely to be purchased by the House, painted in oil, and placed in one of the panels of the Hall. MR, COX, OF OHIO. From despatches received here, it appears that Mr. Cox, of Ohio, will be renominated. Licking county gave him 2,436 votes—all the democratic votes at the democratic primary election on Saturday. He had no opposition. ‘The other counties of his district were 1,800 demecratic last autumn, THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. 5 FIRST SESSION. Senate. ‘ Wasutveton, June 19, 1860. THE CHOCTAW INDIANS.

The Senate insisted on its amendment providing for a lean of twenty millions to the Legislative Appropriation bill, to which the House had previously disagreed, THE OVERLAND MAIL BILL ‘Was taken Mr. Poux, (dem.) of Mo., that portion of the bill which mod the Butterfield contract. He was en- tirely anprepared to break up or change a contract which had faithfully carried out. Mr. Hats, (rep.) of N. HL, understood that the con- tractors of the present overland route would be willing to take $600,000 and give up their contract. This would be & *aving to the government, according to the Post- master General, of $3,400,000 for the time the contract has to run. He thoug! it a wise poliey, end an economical one, to five them this amount and let them go, and’ then make a fy stem of overland mails, which would benefit ail sections: alike at fair expenses. He was opposed to an overland mail and steamship mail together, and favored the bill introduced by the Senator from California (Mr. Latham), as he understood that satiefed the various interests represented in the California viz—the Butterfield route, Commodore Vanderbilt, the Post Ottice Department and the Southwestern section. Mr. Poux proceeded to show that when the overland mail wae established on the Bat ld route it was a mere experiment; but ithad grown into an enterprise nue from portage on ollars per month to elpts for last March, twelve thousand dollars, He did not know but at this rate it would soon y for itself. It had never failed to make »; and although he was originally opposed Butterfield contract was loc 1 a, yet it correct time a jon of try than if it w: opposed to f this endof v ksburg, proposed, as it would ignore all benefit to be de. rived from it for Northern Louisiana, Arkansas and Northern Texas. [le did trust tho Hutterfield contract would not be disturbed by those Senators and who made it. He doubted if a better contract could be made, and was against any violation of it. If interfered with the contractors would come to Congress for indem nity to the last dollar, THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL PASHED. At this stage the Committee of Conference on the Army Appropriation bill reported, and the report being agreed to by the fenate and House, the bill stands paswed. ‘THE OVERLAND Mart.
