The vote which Pendleton received on this bal. ndleton’s udvance was | fot and frantically swung their hate, the lad | waved | cheered again and again and again, A that she had compromised hor diMcultios by abandoning English altogether and casting three votes for Pendleton and throe for Hendricks. HENDRICKS. The course of New York in going for Hon- dricks did not produce the effect that was antici+ pated. Her example was not followed, except by a few scattering votes that carried with them no weight. In half a dozen ballots Hendricks geined only six or eight votes, ‘The truth is, the Indiana delegation had mis. managed his case, Nay, this is too mild a phrase —they stupidly managed it, They were too eager, They had not sufficient self-possossion to bide their time, They should have clung to Pendleton until bis nomination bad become per fectly hopeless, nor cast their vote for Hendricks until he had through other aid developed posi- tive strength, Especially should they not have changed from Pendleton until after New York | had one over to Hendricks, Instead of this, ere their own son hnd received 20 votes, and while Pendleton was gaining stendi- ly at every ballot, they retired for consultation, and on returning to the hall undertook to go over to Hendricks in a body, but broke their ranks, and were not able to give him quite three-fourths | of their votes. Frets had developed themselves showing th Hendricks was inevitably the coming man. gross blunders of the Indiana delegation blocked his way, With the aid of New York and ite allies, East and West, he may yet retriove his fo Jepaw cuase. or four ballotings, California, which ting ber strength | Afton the: has seemed to delight in oj into the most minute fragments, happened to give half a vote for Salmon P, Chase. Nobody was expecting to hear his name; but the in- stant it fell from the lips of the Chair- man of the delegation, @ scene of ex citement followed which has had parallel during the seasions of the Conven- tion, excopting possibly on the two occasions when Gov, Seymour wos conducted to the chair, and when North Carolina voted for him 4s Presidential nominee.

HANCOCK, Gen, Hancock, who commenced in the morn ing with 4234 votes, but suddenly fell to 28 when Pendleton made his desperate rally, then began to rise, drawing mainly from Pendleton and Johnson in the South, till on the tenth ballot (the fourth of yesterday) Virginia gave him her 10 votes, The members of the Soldiers’ Con vention, who largely occupied the gallery, had hailed every step of his advance with cheers, When Virginia backed bis fortun were reiterated; but it was evident that the days when the Old Dominion gave law to the Democratic party had passed away, Reflecting spoctators regarded with more interest the (ree ceived from Connecticut, 3 the che . votes he PRNNSYLVANIA AND HANCOCK. At the close of the next ballot, when Hancock had risen to 66, Pennsylvania retired for con- sultation, She returned in time to give the gal- laut General her 26 votes on the then pending ballot, And now the enthusiasm was intense, and spectators who did not see that four-fifths of Hancock's votes came frow States that were sure to go for Grant, hastily predicted that he would be nominated at the next call of the roll. On the seventeenth ballot (the eleventh of yes: terday), Hancock stood 18734, and Pendleton had fallen to 704g, But considerate men still noted that of these 1873¢ votes, 85 were from the old slave States, and 2844 were from Northern States which Grant is almost certain to carry ; so that four-fifths of Hancock's vote was still given by States that the Democracy can hardly hope to varry. HENDRICKS AND MANCOCK, On ‘ie last ballot of yesterday, Hancock stood M4}q, and Hendricks 87. But of the 14414 ob- tained by Hancock the Democracy will do well to obtain 40 in November, while of the 87 obtained by Hendricks the Democracy are pretty certain in November, Hence Hendricks was stronger than Hancock in the Democratic States, though the latter rece: a vote in the Convention, MAYOR HOPPMAN.

CONNKETIOUT, Up to this moment Connecticut hed voted steadily for her own popular Governor, English The Pendletonians made a touching appeal to their friends from every quarter to join them in stemming the tide that was beginning to set in egainst them, through the defection of Indiana, It deeply moved Mr, Eaton, of Hartford, the very positive Democrat who officiates as Chairman of the Connecticut delegation. A hasty canvass was had, and he announced the vote as three for English and three for Pendleton, This threw the twelve gentlemen who represent tho Land of Bteady Habits into a turbulent excitement, during which criminations and recriminations were freely hurled at each other, one-half the Aelegation insisting that the whole vote should Pentinue to be thrown for Gov. English, To bd ‘da disgraceful scene, the State was tempora- Wily passed; and when the roll was completed, and Connecticut awain called, lo! it turned out long-continued eheering, We but reiterate the opinion often expressed in Tue Suy, that Mr. Hoffiuan would make an excellent Presidenti« candidate for the Democracy, The Convention will be fortunate if it evokes #0 skilful a band to Joad it out of its embarrassment: ‘THR PENDLETON FEELING. ‘The fact that the day closed upon Pendleton at 5634 did not tend to soothe the bitter feelings of his supporters towards those upon whom they charge his defeat, But they err.
