The Bowenites Ia Convention-Tim Har? ley Elected President-He Calls for Honesty in Office-Non-Delegates Eject? ed by the Police-The County Ticket will be Pat Out To-Day. The corners ol' Meeting and Broad streets were, yesterday, the scene of considerable ex? citement among thc Radical politicians of this county. There was much whispering and nodding ol heads, button-holeing and shaking of hands. The convention for the nomination of county officers, which was to meet in the afternoon, was the subject of conversation The Bowenites, who fostered this convention, were determined to have a county ticket put out In the afternoon, and the DeLargeiteB equally determined to put out a ticket on the 28th of this month. Early in the day, there was some prospects of a compro? mise between the two factions, by which the two would agree upon some plan of nomina? tions, unite in a convention, and put out a joint ticket; but, as the hour of meeting ap proached, there was less and less probability of such a result, the more bitter of the adhe? rents of each faction having rejected all propo? sitions made to them by their moderate breth? ren. For a long ti me previous to the assembling of the convention it was reported that the keys of the Military Hall would not be given up to the Bowenite Convention, but a tele? gram from Scott instructed those in charge to permit the assemblage of the convention there, the doors were thrown open, and at 5 o'clock . THE CONVENTION* assembled therein, and was called to order by Mr. T. Hurley, and Daddy Cain's j?3 call for a convention read. There were about one hundred and fifty persons present, Including about one hundred delegates. Mr. T. A. Davis, of Ward 8, was called to the chair, and Captain John Little elected secretary. After considerable discussion, a committee on credentials, with Congressman Bowen as chairman, was appointed. The committee re? tired with the credentials about 6 o'clock, and two hours later returned with a report. Du? ring this Interval Rev. John M. Morris, Mr. A. J. Hausier, Mr. J. M. Langston, of the Howard Institute, Washington, and Sheriff Mackey de? livered speeches. Rev. Mr. Morris spoke of the beneats of Re? publicanism to the colored people, and warned them not to trust the white people of the State. He was quite vehement at times, and the swaying motion thus given him served to display, unintentionally on his part, doubt? less, the hardie of a pistol protruding from his waistcoat pocket. Mr. Ransier, candidate for Lieutenant-Gov? ernor, on the Scott ticket, spoke at some length. He stated that when he, as chairman of the State Cent.-al Club, designated Cain as the legal county chairman, he did not mean for his action to be regarded as in any way affecting the claims ot either of the aspirants lor Congressional honors. As regarded the question of the present convention, or the one to be held by Cain, on the 28th of this month, belog legal, he entirely ignored it; but advised the members of this convention to nominate good men, as perchance they might be elected. As for the political situation in this county, he was o? the opinion that there would be two county tickets. Mr. Langston made one of the most eloquent speeches ever delivered by a Radical In this State. He enjoys thc reputation of being "the most eloquent colored mau living." His re? marks consisted mainly of the old arguments of the Radicals, but they were clothed In really eloquent language, and with a good delivery, he aroused the audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Sheriff Maokey deplored the spilt in the Re? publican ranks, and desired to see the two factions united, and believed they would be if those who were working tor their individual Interest, and not for the party, were thrown aside. He, however, believed that lt was use? less to attempt to heal the breach caused by the Congressional aspirants; but he was of the opinion that the county chairman Imbroglio could be easily arranged. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. As Sheriff Mackey concluded, the committee on credentials returned with a report. There being a considerable crowd present, who seemed more desirous of creating a contusion than doing anything else, It was determined that the delegates should adjourn to a small room down stairs, from which the crowd could be kept out. This was done, and policemen placed at the doors. However, Sheriff and ex Alderman Mackey, and several other adhe? rents, managed to get In the room and caused the convention no little trouble. But to thc re? port of the committee. Bowen read it. The dele? gates from nearly all the precincts were de? clared to be members of this convention. Of Ward 1, in which both the Bowenites and the DeLargeites had elected delegates, the com? mittee reported favorably upon all of the cre? dentials presented by the delegates of the lat? ter faction, saying that while the manner of conducting the election at that precinct was deeply deplored, the committee were com? pelled to report that this delegation was the legal one, as lt had been elected by a majority at the usual place of meeting. The latter re? port of the committee was voted down, but after an explanation from Trial Justice Mlshaw, lt was adopted, and the delegation received. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. After considerable confusion, a motion to appoint a committee to nominate permanent officers for the convention prevailed, not, however, before Mr. L. C. Northrop made an earnest protest against the motion, and favor? ed a decision at once of the vexed question about the legality of the two conventions. His remarks did not suit Congressman Bowen, who, after expressing the opinion that Mr. Northrop's reputation as a lawyer would be I03t forever if- he would put his argument in writing and let lt be read, proceeded to de? molish Mr. N.'s arguments, which he did to the satisfaction of his audience at least, as an almost unanimous vote was at once cast tor the appointment of a committee on permanent or? ganization. Trial Justice Mlshaw was appointed chair? man of this committee, and, after a short re tirement, reported the following : For piesl dent. Mr. Timothy Hurley. For secretaries, Trial Justice Aaron Logan and Captain John Little-all of whom were unanimously elected. DISORDER. During the retirement of the committee there was considerable disorder, and when Tim Hurley took the chair he notified all per? sons who were not delegates to the convention to leave or they would be put out. Sheriff Mackey, Mr. Beesy, deputy Sheriff Musblngton and others were asked If they were dele? gates, and refusing to reply until they could explain their positions, they were requested to leave, as were ex-Alderman T. J. Mackey and Lieutenant Taft. Neither of the last two made any objection whatever. All of these parties, we learn, had credentials, and desired an opportunity to present them, but many wer? unwilling that they should do so. How? ever, after great disorder, all of them left. Prince Green, when told to go, threatened to hold the president personally responsible, to which the Dresident responded he "was al ways that, at all times and under all eireuin? stances/' When quiet was restored, Mr. Hurley made a brief speech, In which he said he proposed to perform the duties of his office with "his usual impartiality," and professed a great desire to have honest men put in office-men who would not be ashamed o? their constituents, nor their constituents of them. Congressman Bowen moved that the con? vention take a recess until Ll A. M. to-day, when the ticket would be promulgated. It is understood that this adjournment was made in order that Moses, Chamberlain and others could be present, they having started from Columbia last night. The motion for a recess was adopted, and before the motion to adjourn was carried, the temporary chairman stated that when he took the chair he hod given his stick and hat to some one to hold, and he now desired their return. After a facetious remark from the president, that the temporary chairman should have asked for the articles before the Cain party left, the convention adjourned until ll A. M. to-day.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. A3 there Is considerable discussion and anx? iety as to the fairness of the coming election, (rom the fact that certain persans in the ad? joining counties, who are commissioners of election, and candidates for certain offices, have announced the fact that they will carry their election by means best known to them? selves, I desire to say that the representation of these facts have been made to the Gover? nor, and assurances have been given that no commissioner ot election shall be a candidate for any office to be voted for at the ensuing election.

Sometimes they talk about their health; and they all seem to have one trouble biliousness. The wear and tear of speculation Invariably tells upon the liver. ?How do you think rm looking?" said a well known "Bull" to a friend in the Long-room, a few days after the Ute smash-up In gold. "Do I look panic-struck ?" ?No, by Jove !" was the reply; "you look In trim to fight for a man's life. Never saw you looking better." 'Let me tell you a secret, my boy," returned the great operator : "I drink no wine, no bran? dy, no bar-room stimulant ol' any kind, but I Just keep my stamina up with an occasional dose of PLANTATION BITTERS; and If you'll do me the favor to try it for that bile on the stomach you're always complaining of, I'll furnish the margin for your next spec, if it doesn't cure you."
