The Douglas men are very sanguine that with the bogus delegates they will have two-thirds of al) proeent, though not two-thirds of the whole Electoral College. They say they bad 3603; votes at Charleston; that shey have gained six- teen since that time—Douglas votes, gained by the South em men, whom they will put in the place of the eeceders, namely: pine from Alabama, ten from Georgia, six from Louisiana, and four from Arkansas, making twenty-nine. in all. ‘This will gives total of 195 yotes. Seven yotes more are required to make a regular two-thirds démocra- tic majority. But the opponents of Douglas say that the caloulations of his friewgls will be found to be groeely ex- aggerated; that he bas not gained sixteen votes; that all the bogus delegates from the South will not support Mr. Douglas. Barrmorr, June 20—6 P. M. The Committee on Credentials have not yet reported. The majority have changed their programme to some extent, and will, It is said, report against all the seceders and in favor of the new Douglas delegates. There will, it is Btated, be two minority reports—one to admit all the seceding delegates without exception, and the other to admit al except those of Loviviana aud Alabama, and of these to admit half aud ba'f. . The following is also represented as likely to be the majority report, and what will probably be adopted by the Convention :—Mississippi aud Texas are to be admitted; Florida is to be rejected; from Alabama and Louisiana tho -bogus delegates are to be admitted; half of she Douglas delegates are to be admitted from Georgia and Arkansas; Bayard and Whiteley, of Delaware, who seceded; but did not join the seceding Convention, are to be admitted; Chaffee, a Douglas man, is to retain his seat, which is claimed by B. F. Hallett, of Massachusetts; 0. Fallen, of Missouri, a Douglas man, is to be admitted in place of Clarney, the sitiing delegate, and a Douglas man. It is expected (bat the seceding Georgia and Arkansas delegates will retire on the platform question, and then the Douglas portion of theee two delegations will cast the whole vote of each State. Mississippi and Texas will not accept the offer of admission unless the other delegatious which seceded with them are admitted. In the case of Delaware there are two seats in dispute and it is deemed politic to be liberal, especially as the facts are very strong in favor of Bayard and Whiteley. Alfred R. Wotten, Attorney General of Delaware, explain- ed the position of the two men from Newcastle county, asking for their seats, These men were at the county meeting, making every effort to defeat Bayard and White- ley. Being defeated themselves, they held a liule town mecting 2t Wilmington, where there were one hundred persons present, and elected themselves. At the county mass mecting there Were uot twenty-five persons against Bayard and Whiteley, and at the comnty one vote, that of Mr, Chandler. Mr. Wotten declared, on his honor, there were not four bundred Donglas men in the State. This is a specimen of the cases of Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia. The Florida delegation addressed a lever ¢o the commit- tee to-day, declaring they did not ask for admission, being only accredited to Richmond. ‘The number of votes to be added to the Convention by the majority report will be 29, which, added to the 245 now in the Convention, makes a total of 274. The two- thirds of this would be 183 voues. The Douglasiics say they cam reach that pumber, and if se hey will declare the two-third rule to mean two-thirds of those present. ‘If they cannot do that, then they will nominate by a ma- jority, end if that fails then by the sixty-six of the Northweet, As one of the leaders said, “If we care not enough to nominate Douglas, we care enongh to bring up the Conventiou.” And bronght up the Convention will probably be im one way or other. If the majority report is adopted, the greater part of the South and some of the North will secede and bold another Convention. If the minority report be adopted , admite Ling al! the seceding delegations, then the Northwest, ac cording to Mr. Pugh, will secede, Last night, after bis interview with Mr. Barry, of which I advised you, he de- nounced the seceders in the most violent language. He raid be hal not heard en hovorable sentiment from them; that they ought to be exiled from the democratic party and driven from the hovse. Jt je evident from this that the policy of the Donglas leaders ia to repel the seceding delegates and not make peace. Whether the majority or minority platform be adopted depends on the vote of the Fouthern Dougias Men to be Admitted to the Convention. PERSONAL CONFLICTS OF THE DELEGATES @UR SPHCIAL BALTIMORE DESPATCH. Barrmwors,,June 20, 1860. AB COL, HINDMAN AND MR. HOO- ER FRAC. baie = ‘Tere are ten regular delegates from Arkansas, namely, ‘two of the orginal delegation to Charleston, who remained jw; four of the eeceders who were endorsed and reappoint- ~e@ by the two district Congressional conventions; and fuur Bew delegates appointed by the same convention. These y—~ @elegates have agreed to form one delegation wifhout eontest. The seats of the four seceders and four new delegates are contested by three delegates representing & ‘bogus mass meeting, held at a little town in the extreme eastern part of the State, ander @ call from unauthorized persons, part of whom were Douglas democrate, and ethers, oppositionists, or old line whigs. This meeting is claimed to have numbered, five hundred out of the fifty or sixty thousand voters of the State, and to have come from ten or twelve counties out of the fifty-five counties of the State. ‘Before the Committee on Credentials on Tuesday last, Mr. Hooper, of the bogus delegation, while advocating the ~,.. Bdmittion of himself and two colleagues, offered four dis tinct insulig to Col. Hindman, who appeared for the regu- » lar delegates. These insults were:— ". Fyrst—An assertion that the regular conventions were eomyored of demagogues, tricksters and political petti- Second—Shaking bis fvger menacingly in Col. Hind- man’s face, who pushed Hooper’s hand away. ‘Third—Repeating the [offensive gesture, when his band was again pushed angrily away by Col. Hindman. Fourth—Using language of this purport:— ‘This map ooking at Col. Hindman) says our delegation does not re- present the democracy. The statement ‘is fulee; 1 re- peat, the statement is grossly false.” Thereupon Col. Hindman arose, without saying a word, ‘and slapped Mr. Hooper violently on the face, Hooper ‘Hered no further resistance than to drop his band w his pockete, as if to diaw a weapon, but exbibited none, when Colonel Hindman partially drew | pietol, The members of the committee then interfered ‘and prevented further collision, Colonel Hindman all the time dieclaiming any intent to do more than be had doae. ‘When order was restored Colonel! Hindman apologized to the committee for the breach of order, but made no ‘apology to Mr. Hooper, eaying that the insults given by ‘Ube Jatter left him no other alternative than to resent them as be had done. The apology was formally ac- eepted by the committee. ‘Mr. Hooper then explained that he bad not intended to ‘apply the term “false”’ to any savement made by Colonel ‘Hindman, but to the statements propovea vw be made vy ‘e witnees, whom Colonel Hindman had offered to intro- ance, but was refused to do eo by the committee, No correspondence bas taken place up to this date be- * gween the parties. ‘TBE AFFAIR BETWEEN MESSRS. YOST AND BRENNAN, OF VIRGINIA. Anotber case occurred the day before yesterday, which as been kept rather quiet. Samoel M. Yost, editor of ‘vbe Stavnton (Va.) Index, and John Brannan, of Lewis county, Va., delegate and State Senator, had a difference ip the Convention, arising out of a letter to the paper of the former, written by him, reflecting on the Hunter party in the delegation. Some angry words were inter- changed, when Yost attempted to slap Brannan in the face, in which the parties were separated. A challenge * abe paseed, 0. Jennings Wise being the friend of Yost, and Roger A. Pryor the friend of Brannan. The matter, bow- ever, was settled yesterday without bloodshed. ROUGH AND TUMBLE BARROOM FIGHT BETWEEN MESSRS, WHITELEY AND TOWNSEND, OF DELAWARE. This morning Mr. Whiteley, of Delaware, and Mr, Townsend, the contestant for his seat at the Convention, met and had a desperate rough and tumble fight, in which they pummeled and punished each other well. Last night Mr. Whiteley got bis eye blackened by bis antagonist ‘whilst be was held by his friends. He aid he wag re- solved to have eatisfaction, but promised not to attack bis opponent at night. He said he would assail him io the morning, and so punctilious was he on the point of honor that he remained up ail night, and meeting him at five o'clock this morning, he commenced the attack, when doth parties bruised each other until they were separated, ‘and one of them was taken to the station house, from which he was afterwards released by local infuesce. Of the affair, the following are the facts, obtained from several eye witnesses, all agreeing— At five o'clock this morning Mr. Whiteley entered the Maltby House, where Mr. Townsend is stopping, and took ‘a seat by the passage way leading to the washing room. About a quarter-past five o'clock Mr. Townsend came down stairs into the office, laid his cane on the counter, ‘and was walking into the washroom, having to pass Mr. Whiteley on the way. Mr. Whiteley rose, and a8 Mr, Townsend passed be struck bim a violent blow on the side of the bead. Mr, Townsend was staggered by the blow, but recovered im- mediately, and springing on Mr. Whiteley seized him by ‘the front of bis shirt and wecktie and ran bim across tho ofBee. Both are very powerful men, and they kept striking rapidly ateach other until Mr. Whiteley fell, Mr. Town- wend alto falling over bim. Mr. Townsend then shook Mr. Whiteley somewhat and said, ‘Sir, 1 want no difdeul- ty with you, and if you will promise to behave yourself and leave me alone I will let you up.” Mr. Whiteley re- plied harshly to thie, refueing to make any promise, and still keeping up the struggle. The landlord of the hotel, ‘who alone witnessed the encounter, called for assistance, and the police entered and separated the parties. Wyse Mr. Whiteley rose be immediately thrast his hand into his breast pocket as though feeling for some- thing, When Mr, Townsend eaid, ‘Be careful; he may be armed.” Mr. Whiteley, after feeling in bis pocket, looked around - Dim on the floor, when Mr. Townsend saw Mr. Whiteley’s pistol lying near his feet. He instantly secured it, and placed it in his own pocket, saying, “I will take care of Ghis for the present.” Mr. Whiteley was then taken out Of the bouse, and the affair for the present haa term). mated, Tt is suppeeed that Mr. Towtmend will hot follow up the quarrel, n@ bring a duellist; but he will always be prepared to defend himeclf from attack, - THE MOVEMENTS OF THK POLITICIANS, A majority report, rejecting the secoding delegates apd a@dmitiing the Duegiss bogus delegates from Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Arkansas, has been adopted by the eommittee by a vote f 16109. Areport is adopted by ‘the minority of the committee »\mitting all the segeding Gelegrtee ae regular, and rejecting all the Douglas delo- rire ne bogus. The reports will be presented to-morrow, ant then the fight begine. ‘The Dongine leaders in the New York delegation, which fa BOW in caveUF, boaet that they have a majority for the RAKWTILY Teport, and their vote of course will settle the moatter. The opponents of Douglas, on the other band, Contend that the vote will be the other way, thongh very sore. No man can tell just now what way 80 unreliable B delegation may vote. The Dougiag Waders admit that if the seceding dele sates are rejected ib¢n & Jarge majority of the Virginian doubtful votes, money bays of Coreoran or Belmont prevail. It was pretended ths afternoon that the report was not ready, when everybody knows it coald be put into a New York delegation. Richmond does not want the Convention broken op. Cagger, Church and others promised, in writing, their support to Dickinson for the Presidency, at the time he united bis hard shells with their softs. Mr. Croswell has their letters to that ef- fect, and read them to the delegation, Church, Cagger and Cassidy don’t want to fulfil their promises to Dickin- son. They would prefer to see him hanged first; but, at the same time, they cannot originate any movement for Seymour without palpable treachery. As for Douglas, they pretend that the people demand, and they can't belp going for him; but Rich- mond made uo promise, and goes openly for Sey. mour, and desires to drop Dougias after a reasonable time; and be will ne doubt coerve the whole Regency to his way to blame, and can't help the king. Seymour is bis man, and Ben Butler, of Massachusetts, says he will be the nominee of the party. But Richmond, being a practical man, thinks there is po chance unless the party is united, and be bas no faith ip the success of Douglas. Chureh and Cagger, to evade their objection to Dickinson, whose ascendancy would destroy them, want to precipitate the crisis and reject the seceding delegates, Richmond Prefers to admit them, and hold the party to getber. Dickinton’s friends are very active, and Church, and Cagger have taken ‘he alarm lest they should have§io for him if be was offered to the South. Richmond, on the other hand, bas no hesitation aboot open hostility to Dickinson, and will hald by Douglas as bis standpoint till he can get Seymour. He managed to have the Com. mitiee on Credentials defer (beir report till to morrow, in order to give. time to-night to operate on the doubtful de. legates #0 a8 to induce them to vote for the admission of the seceders. : To-day it is conceded that a majority of the delegation would vote against them. To morrow he hopes to have it all right; but this little di ficnity is to be taken in ac. count, and the Northwest will in that case bolt, Perhaps Richmond will say, let them go. Mesere.

The Southern men take away most of the crowd. Mr. Hunter, of Lovieiana, made a very strong speech to- night. He said the North would soon begin to tad out tat the South could take care of itacif. In the name of the Louisiana delegation he offered to bet one million of dollars that Mr, Dongias would not carry a single Southern State, and an Alabama delegate then of- fered to make the same bet in the name of his delegation. ‘There will be an effort made to Present the following ticket —Wise, of Virginia, and Richardson, of Minoia, or Pugh, of Ohio, The Hunter men, however, on the Virgi- nia delegation, refuse to reciprocate with the Wiee mon, who went with them for Honter while there was a chance.

Batriwore, June 20—10 P. M. Messrs. Avery, of North Carolina; Saulsbary, of Dela- ware, and other Southern delegates, waited on Mr. Dean Richmond, chairman of the New York delegation, to-day, witb a proposition to admit all the seceding delegations, with the understanding that no candidate be nominated who was voted for at Charleston. This would exclude Mesers. Douglas, Hunter, Dickinson, Laue and Guthrie. It was not probable that the proposition would be ac- cepted. It is rumored that the delay in the report of the com- mitsee is designed to embarrass the seceding delegations, who bave to mect to-morrow in a Convention at Rich- mon@, in rebellion agalnst the democratic organization, whilst still seeking admicsion into the Democratic Con- vention. The Committee on tigls held’ s meeting with closed doors, but it is supposed three reporte will bo. made. Rumor say$ the majority report lets in the origi- nal delegation from Mississippi; admits the Douglas dele- gates from Louisiana, headed by Soule, by a vote of 11 to 9 infthe committee; and the Douglas delegates from Ala- bama, headed by Governor Winslow, by the vote of 14 to 11; divides Georgia and Arkansas between the origivals and contestants; admits the contestants from Delaware and the contesting delegation from Texas, favorable to Douglas, juat arrived. Of the minority reports, one is supposed to favor the admission of all delegates applying, and where the con- testants are admitted, dividing the vote of the delegation ‘between them. B ‘The other report admits all delegates originally ac- credited to Charleston only. The Florida <lelegation has veen telegraphed to come on here, in order to hold the adjourned seceders’ Convention here instead of at Rich- mond. The seceders claim that the whole number to bolt will be 172. This will leave 434 in the Convention. The following notice appears posted in Barnum’s Ho- teh The Committee on Credentials have decided to admit the original Texas and Mississippi ves, half of each set delega| from Arkansas, to divide equally Alabama, Loui- siana,“allow the substitute of Sir. Hallet, of ‘Macaachs setts, to remain, and admit the Douglas contestants from Missouri. Nothing ir done with Florida. It is calculated that Douglas will have 173 votes on the first ballot, leaving him to gain 30 votes to be vominated by two-thirds. This notice is traced to no official source, Much excitement exists all over town. The present temper of the New York delegation appears: to be to resolutely refuse further concessions, and act Doldiy and fearlessly in a straight-forward attempt to nominate Douglas. ‘There is speaking going on in Monument square, in the presence of a vast concourse of people. Mr. Yancey spoke, deprecating the present condition of af- fairs, expressing the belief that the democracy need not be disunited, and repudiating the intention to secede from the Union. The South did not mean to go out of the Union, and if others thought to drive them out they would have a lively time, Mr. Yancey’s remarks appear conciliatory on the fice. ‘The majority of the people here are decidedly favorable to union, and the ‘crowd evinces signs of diseatisfaction whenever disunion sentiments are uttered. These ont. side gatherings are very decidedly favorable to Douglas apeakers. ‘The delegates from New York and Pennsylvania who have opposed Doaglas appear now mucb agitated and anxious for some sort of settlement.

THREE MEN KILLED WHILE FIGHTING ON THE TRACK. As the up express train of yesterday which leaves Chambers” street at cleyen A. M., on the Hudson River Railroad, Was Within a quarter of a mile of the Peekskill depot, it rap over and killed three men, two of whom were fighting upon the track. ‘Three men, named George Rawcliffe, Henry W. Hall and Thomas Granger, were ‘walking om the track near Peckeki!, about one o'clock in the afternoon, when Hall and Granger got into a quarrel, clinched, and fell upon the track. This occurred just as the train appeared in sight, but it was impossible for the engineer to observe them at that distance, As the train approached he gave the usual signal of danger, and con- tinued to blow the whistle up to the time of the accident. The warning was, however, unnoticed by the two men fighting; but the other, George Rawcliffe, went to them as soon as he observed the train and attempted to separate them, whee Hall seized bim by the arm and held him on the track. The engineer, now seeing that it was almost impossible to prevent running over them, reversed the ine and applied the patent brake, bit too late, as the fain could be stopped, it had passed over killing two and fatally injuring the third. man who attem) to separate the by the cowcatch- the other track.

Mr. Cuann, of Missouri, said the remarks attributed to Mr. King had been made by his venerabie friend, Colonel Hunter. He proceeded, in justice to the latter, to attack the course of Col.

The letter stated that no proceedings of dhe Florida Convention had been officially communicated to the President,-as the Florida delegates were not accredited to tis Convention. But a large discretion was left to the delegates, and they had come here anxious to retarn to the Convention if they saw any chance of doing 80 with honor, a8 they desired to reunite the democracy on the basis of the principles laid down by the majority platform at Charleston.

Yesterday the second -day’s racing of the Fashion Course, L. J., spring mecting, came off on the above course. Originally announced for Tuesday last, the unfa- yorable weather compelled the postponement of the races until the exsuing day, when the weather proved to be more propitious. The mor@ing was bright and clear, and so the day continued unti) the firat heat of the second race was run, when a very heavy thunderstorm) broke over the locality, and the rain deecended in such torrents as to cause a temporary delay in the resumption of the race, as well as rendering the track exceedingly heavy for the horses engaged in tho race. The attend- ance of spectators was very limited, being f:carce- ly equal to the first day’s assemblage. The cause of this may be found in the fact that the general public in variubly hold back for the four mile heat racefwhich takes place tomorrow. Arace of this kind possesses a far deeper degree of interest for the New York public than either a two or three mile race, however good may be the quality of the horees engaged in them. They naturally “give preference to a race where the quality of endurance as well a6 of speed ie brought into exercise; henoo the superior attraction to them of the four milo race day over all the other racing. Probably one cause of the falling off in the number of specta- tors may be found in the inefficient arrangements of the Flushing Raitwad, which does uot run in connection with the steamers irom the city to Hunter’s Point, In consequence of this want of continuity in the transit of visiters to the race, and which last week led to the pnoying detention of a large number at Hunter’s Point on their return, the road was much better patronized than the rail yesterday, It might naturally baye been anticipated that thefr own pecuniary interest would have induced them to be more obliging in consulting the inte- rests of the public; but such was not the case yesterday, ‘The first race on the programme was that for the Sub- scribers’ Handicap, for a purse of $500, given by the pro- prietor of the course. For this race the follow! ‘were entered and weighted;—Jobn Hunter’s Nic! aged, 115 pounds; C. 3. Lloyd's +5 years, lee . Doswell’s Irona, 5 years, 111 faved Ss Lioyd’s Prophet, 4 years, 100 pounds.

THE REVOLUTION IN SICILY, Genoa, June B, 1860. News from Sicily states that a capitulation had been concluded between Garibaldi and Lanza. The conditions are pot known. The conditions of the armistice, proposed by Lanza, are— First.—The retention of thelr respective positions by both parties. i Secoud.—Liberty to attend the wounded and remove them on board the fleet, Third.—Permission to supply provisions to the hospital for the poor. Fourth.—That the municipality should address a peti- tion to the Royel Commissioner for the concession of such reforms as were deemed necessary for the country. Theffirst three points were consented to by Garibaldi, but§the fourth was rejected peremptorily, and the con- ference was broken off. Nevertheless, hostilities did not recommence tho fol- lowing day, and the armistice was still under diecuesion. Panis, Jane 8, 1860. The King of Naples has invoked the intervention of the five great Powers to guarantee the integrity of his do- minions. He more particularly claimed the mediation of ‘the French Emperor for the pacification of Sicily, and promised to proclaim immediately the constitution of 1852. He also requests the great Powers to employ their authority and influence to prevent Piedmont irom faysr- ing insurrection on the mainland of Naples, Regarding a collective action of the greet Powers, Eng- Jand was the first to answer. She did not intend to inter- fere in the conflict, except, if possible, to stop tbe effusion of blood, without siding with either party. The other Powers subsequently gave a similar reply. Napoleon, who was at Lyons when the demand was re- ceived, replied immediately, that mediation only was possible between two Powers, and unless jt officially recognized the Sicilian revolution no Power could mediate between the same and the King of Naples. Lord John Ruseell, however, promized to recommend Piedmont not to foment disturbances in the peninsular possessions of the King of Naples. Except Austria, who bas no diplomatic relations with Piedmont, the other great Powers will act similarly.
