Turner, in support of liis resolutions, made a vi n common-sense short speech. lb aaid he considered thia difference be? tween Mr. Wise and General Mahone as very unfortunate, Ile ha.I come to the ution rather as a Mahone man, but be proposed to discharge bis duty snd nol to boll with his friends. Be mts for of the party, ami be believed il it vas brought as between the two men Mahune was a stronger and better leader than Wise. Mr. Wise said under ordinary eirenm fit.inci a he would not misc his voice in oppoa tion to thanking General Mahone, bnl after the manner in whi *h the letter hud reci idly neted he could not do other? wise than d.f.iid himself and his peo? ple who had stood Iv him in manfully. Ho waa vary Revere in his denunciation of the underhanded manner in which Mahone] ;ht to capture the Rich? mond del* gatton. .Mr. Wise alleged that Mahoi not made an open, honest fight, but had resoite.l to all kinds of corrupt methods. w fruin his pocket pajvers which l were in Mahon- i's own band writing, in whieh the latter made calcu? lations os to what he could do here and how it could be done, Bi I to say thst be did not mean to be read out of the I.> publican party, lt was in hm opinion moro probable that Mahone would be.

He appreciate,! the valuable Ber* i, but could not assent to what he* nothing lesa than ??Bag-law." Mr. Wise rejoined by saying thnt this was no gag-law. Ha was frank to aay that be minti d to be endorsed a** s dele and it waa for this that he had worked bo hard. Mitchell had voted with the Mahons men, and after being whipped, wanted to be token in with the winners to share the benefits. Ha wanted tha delegates instructed. .Mr. Wise, iu the course of tin- speech, Bald that in politics lie knew no lina. He bi ld certain principles and it was for these thit he fought If a white and colona! man were riiriniri*_r ter tin* Hiine oflice, and the former be con si ler..t the best, ho would certainly vote for him.

Ho made this motion, he said, because there waa other business which would require careful consideration, such us he did not think it would receive lust night. Be? sides tho split, he thought, /Rould be healed and the mutter (not men tio'.ed, but supposed to bo under atood by all) was ono in which all were intereattnl and would unite. At mid? night tlie convention adjourned. The following, taken from the call for the precinct meetings which elected the delegates to this convention, will ex? plain to what Mr. Wise referred : Hy a resolution of the Citv Committee t?ese detonates to our City Convention will also lie nm bowered to decide whether the llt'publicansof Hi. bru. ud shall nominal* ? city ti-lot lorinii ui-tpal office* thia apring, and to adjourn from time lu time until the convention uoinlnatet* a whole or BarU?l ticket or decides nol to nomi? nate ona.

Tfie following were appointed ii committee on credentials: Drown, Custulo, Woodson. Liggon, and Brown. The committee re? tired, and during the interim tbs ing was addressed by Edward Thompson, who severely denounced the behavior of Mr. Wise, ami characterized his fol? lowers as "kickers." He concluded by calling upon Mr. L\ P. Murphy tor I flpeeon. Mr. Murphy complied, and saul that he had, after a careful ol timi, como to the conclusion that "John Wise was alter ofiioo for himself, and ho didn't tare a damn foi any one else.'' KOt'Oft on wist*. J. T. Wilson (colored i tpoka next, "John Wis** is," said he, "either a fool or a scoundrel, ami it ia through his treachery that we huve lost the city three bili's." Wilson alluded lo Wise in ?csthing terms, and designated Mahout* ns the "Lincoln of Vir/inia.' Tho Democratic press was against Mahone, and that was of itself a sufficient reason for the black mon to support him. DELEGATE.--.
