Mr. Charles Wolfo, of Union, offered a rleso
litlnti unqualilfiedly in dorsing PresIddeiit
Hayes. It was referred to the :omllll.toen oil
resolutions under the rules.
Mr. WNu. 13. Bunn, of Philadelphia, selt, to
the chair a resolution which he asked to be
read, but the chair ruled it out of ordler; it
was afterwards learned that the resoluhtion
suggested to President Hlayes to learn that
little hymn entitled "When I can read my title
clear." Some of the dloegatr. wanted it,
read, but Bunn had no desire to proce,. any
further with his joke, and after a slight st-to I
betwoeen Wolfe, of Union, and Dlouglass, of
Philadllphia, the matter was dropped.
Thos. M. Marshall. of Allegheny, then notn

nationl was ably siecondell by Christian K ineass,
of Philadelphia, and Judge 8territt was there
upon nominated by the eonvientiou, amidst
groeat applause.
1, A. (Gray presented J. Rlteder, of North
ampton coulnty, for Auditor (ienerl, s(colded
by Win. 8. Kirkpatrick, of Easton.
Hon. L. M. Bartholomew, of ~e:huylkill
county, presented the name of J. M. M. Pass
more, of Pottsville. His spech was thrill
ing, and ellcite'l rounds of applause, which
lasted many ninutes. It was the first en

ed the nomination of Passmore. Mr. Wolfe,
then took the floor, awl after confirming
much that was said of both Reeder and Pass
more, launchedl out into a hitter donunciatiol n
of the Camelron inifluolene, which h ll hioiin
thrown around Passmnore to save lihn from
defeat. He deonounoell Mackey iatil tho Tre.as
ring, which, hlie liil uedl, was mnrllo uil of
Democrats and IRepubllc.uis.
In making his personal allusions, Mr`
Wolfeir was frequently hissed, and especially
whetin he charged that Mackey had perfildious
ly liot.rcayed the interests of the ltelpuhlh'ani
party. lie said that he was sent to the ,edn
ventlon as a protest and a rebuke to the Canm
lron inlluenco.
The speaker was, every once in a while,
called to order by the delegates, but the chair
protected him and allowtedl him groat latitude.
Mr. Wolfe laloreid hardl to Impress his con
victions on the conventlion. lIe charged that
through the Camerons. the RIepublican
plrty had been thrice defrlaudl of a Senator
in the twenty-eventhl district, and said that
In one asenatlorial district, that of Snyder and
Nortlhumberland counthis, thelre would he no
vote for Passnmore, blseuse of his assuochilatiln
with the Cameron party.
When Mr. Wolf\ cncluded Mri. A, Wilson,
'tf Norrits county, arose and cre(ated a gra'lnt
Ssensation by lblilly and defiantly dhlea.rlng
that this is a fight against Gov. Hartranft,
instigated by the pilgrims of Philadelphla.
He spoke eloquently, and niade grave charges
against the same persons that Wolfe hiad so
bitterly scathed. lIe closed iy saying, wilth
great ealrnestness, "As (ol is nmy judge, 1
aflrm that this is a light against Gov.
Hartr.anft."
The Attorney (General next arose and pro
sented Capt. W. B. Hart for State Treasurer,
seconded by J. M. I)urham of Fayette.
Jacob A. Kentzmeller, of Adams, presentedi
Dr. E. G. Fahnestock, but his name was sub
sequently withdrawn. Capt. Hart was then
nominated by acclamation.
Hon. John Cessna, chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions, thon submitted the
resolutions framed by the committee, which
are substantially as follows:
The first respects the difference of opinion
in the party on the Southern policy of Presi
dent Hayes, and pledges support to the
platform upon which he was made President.
The second indorses Gov. Hartranft's State
policy.
The third refers to the Electoral Commis
sion, and affirms the party's approval of its
work, expressing astonishment at the assaults
of the Democrats upon isR decision.
The fourth asserts faith in the Louis,.ma
lawlessness and anarchy, and thanks Gov.
Hartranft's Boldiers for suppression of the
riots.

[Cincoinnti Enquirer HpeoIal. I
CornMwIntA. S. C., Sept. 2.--The (Grand
Jury has adjourned tem porari ly--not be
cause there was not plenty of work for
them, but because the committee
thought best not to lay any more of the
cases of the thieves before them for a
few days. I learn now, directly from
the committee, that the rostitution made
by ex-clerks Woodruff and Jones,
amounts to property of a cash value
of $100,000, and they agree to tell all
they know about everybody, which is
equivalent almost to a conviction of
every political thief who has had a hand
in the stealing carried on hero for eight
years past. Woodruff is a stenographer
and has kept a diary in shorthand of
every tlay of his political lifeo. It covers
the most minute transactions, from giv
ing an order on a futniture dealer for a
cradle for the use of an illegitimate
offspring of one of the members, or
upon a grocer for a caddy of tobacco
or a basket of Champage, up to
hib acts where, with the stroke of his
pen, he ordered hundreds of thousand#
of dollars to be paid for the nefariou
work of some vagabond carpet-bagger,
negro or scalawag, and then charged it
to legislative expenses. He is now en
gaged in translating his diary for the
use of the committee. He and Jones
also, last night, turned ovet one hun
dred and fifty checks, bribe money,
paid to as many members of the Legis
lature. The checks were made payable
to the order of the members in ques
tion, were Indorsed by the members,
and drawn by Woodruff and Jones
from bank.
It will be seen, therefore, that there
will be little trouble in convicting the
150 statesmen, with their signatures
staring them in the face when they aro
brought Into court. At least fifty of
these bribes--checks, as they are called
-were drawn to pay these members for
electing J. J. Patterson, better known
as "Honest John." to thellnitedltatog
Senate.
A most important witness comes
before the Commissoners, one Mrs.
McLaughlin, of Charleston, who was a
lobbyist off and on for slx years. Her
husband was a member of the Lower
House at one time. Nothing more need
be said of her than that she was the
intimate friend and associate of the
notorious land commission thief C. '.
Leslie, better know as "Hell-holo
Swamp Leslie," who fled the State as
soon as the Democrats carried it last
fall. This fellow hailed from Brooklyn,
New York, but the Lord only knows
where he is now. There is one thing
certain, and that is, that nothing but a
f requisition would ever induce him to
show his face in South Carolina again.
Senator Cochran, the chairman of the
committee, Informed me to-night that
Woodruff's dairy, the facts contained
therein and the evidence to be given by
Mrs. McLaughlin, to be examined to
,t morrow, would be of incalcuable value
to the State. He thinks that about one
ýf third of all that has been stolen from
' the people, amounting to many millions,
will be recovered eventually, and that
the capture of Woodruff, who has been
clerk of the Senate during all these
, black years, will be the cause of it.
THE LEE MTATIlE,
It was our pleasure yesterday afternoon to
have an opportunity of inspecting that rmost
artidfio and natural model of an equestrian
statue for the proposed Lee monument, fresh
from the hands of its able designer, Mr. Julio,
the well known artist of our city. It needed but
a cursory glance to at once recognize the faith
ful following after nature. In pose and line both
horse and figure are simply grand, and the posi
tion chosen, one that its novelty only proves its
strict trun:bfnlness.
Gen. Lee is represented as seated on his old
charger, whose well developed muscles stand out
indicative of the strain upon them as the rider
suddenly has checked him and drawn him back
almost upon his haunches. The bridle hand of
(en. Lee is raised to the height of his breast, and
the horse's head and neck, in response to the
movement, has suddenly stopped, the forelegs
braced forward, whilst the hind ones are gath
ered beneath his body, showing most truthfully
the sudden cessation of vigorous action.
The pose of the veteran is perfect. As all
horsemen know, a rider with a loose rein draws
the bridle far back in a sharp, short stop, and for
a moment both rider and horse are in a kind of
equilibrium between inertia and momentum. It
is at this moment that Mr. Julio has caught his ,
subject, and nothing could be more appropriate
than the action. As this statue should and un
doubtedly will be, of oollossal size, it behooves
those who have charge of the work to see that
its execution falls into no "uncanny" hands. No
one but a master should execute the beautiful
design of Julio, and we know of no one in Amer
ic who could now be entrnusted with the work.
In France therb is one, however, whose "Jeanne
D'Arc" has made his reoutation world-wide, and
that is M. Ohrpn. He has received all the first
honors of France, and today stands at the head
of all sculptors in equestrian statues. He, in
duced by the great painter, Bonnat. is willing to
nndertake this work. If a work of art is wanted.
an artist should be selected to execute it.
