Judge Haydon arcve and with considerable con-siderable spirit, as kid the chairn an why he h;ul so gr.s!y viniairtt pariia- ' nitn'.ary rules in leaving the mover : Gen. Kimball) ufl live committee. He also said some tiling about the chairman not acting hke a gentleman or a republican. Amid tho confusion that followed Ashbrex'k trial to explain that he thought Gen. Kimball had intimated that no one holding a proxy should De on the committee. Gen. Kimball and others tried to make themflves ueard, but without success. How- j ever, Judge Haydon, who had been i sitting near Judge Strickland, was heard to fiercely adiress the latter: "Don't you talk to me, sir, about . making an ass ot myself." This was ; met by vociterous applause, and it was observed that Strickland grew a shade paler than usual. Gen. Kimball finally got the floor, and said bo made the motion for th purpose of being appointed on the committee. Strickland argued that the rule to appoint the mover, on the committee, was not absolute. He apologiz-d for the etiairman, whom he knew to be an honorable gentleman, for not placing Kimball on the committee, as he (K.) had feelings in the matter. Gen. Kimball protested atains. the action of the chair in appointing a committee of those who had voted proxies and all on one side. Several gentlemen trie 1 to obtain the floor, but were put down on points of order, and it became evident that both parties were considerably disgusted with the chairman, wi.o didn't appear to understand his business, busi-ness, and was making & jumbled-up mess of the proceedings. Gen. Kimball moved to reconsider the vote authorizing the chairman to appoint a credt utial committee, .another confusing di-cussion followed as to parliamentary rules and practice, several of the speakers becoming considerably con-siderably excited, the chair all the time getting deeper iu the fog and confusion. The chair sustained the point of order that a motion made by Gen. Maxwell for Kimball's motion to lie on the table was not debatable. An appeal to the bouse from the decision ot the chair was taken, the house voting vot-ing against the ruling 24 to 22. Another wrangle occurred, many gentlemen participating. Several gentlemen were called to order; in , lact, the only persons who were listened lis-tened to with any degree of quietnes were Messrs. Bennett and Mob'nde. Finally Kimball withdrew his motion, and a recess was taken till 7 p. m. to meet in the federal court room. At 7 o'clock the court room was crowded with spectators, there being only scant room for the delegates. The committee on credentials asked further time to report, which was granted, and another reccs3 was taken till 8 o'clock. At 8 the committee was not yet prepared to report, and General Kimball Kim-ball proposed to read to the convention conven-tion the official report of the Salt Lake county convention held on February 22 J, and asked to have it placed in the minutes. Objections being made by Judge McBride, the chair refused to permit the report to be read or placed on record. There being nolhinc before the convention several gentleman were- called upon for speeches, but all declined, until Col. Patton happened in, when ho responded to vociferous cries and proceeded pro-ceeded to talk, saying very little to any point. The commHtee coming com-ing in at 9.:J0 choked him oil. The committee, in its report, threw out tho so-called Kimball delegates, admitting the Roberluon delegates from this county. General Kimball was also rejected as a proxy from Sanpete, it appearing that the regularly regu-larly elected delegate from that county having sent his proxy to J. M. More: and the latter had transferred it tj I Kimball. J. W. Morehouse from Summit wa3 also excluded, and Geo. Piersnn declared the delegate from that county. Mr. Toponce, from the committee-, presented a minority report, dissenting dissent-ing from the majority report in giving the seat to X'earson; also from the action of tho majority in regard to General Kimball, and the Kimball "delegates Irom Salt Lake.
