On the first ballot, when the Shite of New \ork was reached Mr. Conkling refused to announce the vote of the delegation.

There was no important change in the ballotiug during this ses? sion of the Convention. Tiie vote for Giant remained almost steadily at .'$05. It rose to 300 on thc eighth ballot, but till back on the next. It became 30G again on the eleventh ballot, was 304 on the twelfth and 3(>5 there? after, except on the fifteenth ballot when it rose to 300.

The vote for Mr. Blaine during these eighteen ballots remained almost steadily at about 2.S4. It fell to 2S2, then rose to 285, anti nuctunted between 285 and 280, until the eighteenth ballot when it ended at 2S3. The changes in the voting for the. oilier j candidates was of the same slight character, except tbat once Mr. Sherman's vote fell to 88. At 3:38 p. tu. a recess for dinner was taken.

Tbe Con? vention ie here, but tbe floating crowd bas mainly di sh p* wared. The brass banda and tbe dabs have gone 1 the hotels have resumed almost a civilised ?aped. There are no more fierce debates in crowded sorridors; no more procea-doi.g j no more, in short, of that froth that doaU tai ii*e vexed sea ci a Na? tional Convention. The process of hunting ?rotas with n htneg band hsd come to an end this morning, and tito Convention wai ready to po quietly to work. Wben the Con? vention assembled it was with tho knowledge lhat all tie presentation speeches had been nada and balloting would at once begin. Immediately alter prayer. Mr. Hale, of Maine, rose and moved that lbs Convention should now proceed to a ballot for candidate for President. Mr. Conkling inquired of the chairman with his most ornate titleranco whether tbat was not tbe order of business already determined upon, to which tho Convention should pro, ted with? out n motion. Senator Hoar replied that be did not so understand it. *' Then,'' Maid Mr. Conkling. with significance, " I second the mot ton." and the return of the challenge from Mame was loudly applauded. Senator Hoar then demanded the attention ol Ibe great gathering, and spoke a few well-chosen words on thc necessity of silence and decorum in tho per fm malice of so argent and important a duty oh the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency. The .fleet of his remarks was plainly seen in thc bear? ing of tho audience. They created a pub? lic sentiment against interruption! of anv kind; and the same crowd that on Friday nighl gave itself np to a saturnalia of cheering for nearly the space of an hoar, now hushed any presumptnons man who applauded a vote for Grant, or Blame. Probably no such orderly ballots were ever taken at .any Presidential Convention. Senator Hoar, who is an absolute martinet in the chair, would not even allow the chairmen of delcgal ions to throw in to tlieir announcements any of those stir? ring phrases that serve aa a safety-valve for their own enthusiasm, and at tho samo time liro tho hearts of the galleries, Mr- Pizley,fnr thc ofTenee of saying that thc twelve votes of California were first, lust and all the lime for Janies G. Blaine, was summarily rapped to order by Senator Hoar, and jiu: down in his scat in dis* grace. Tho audience wa-j cpi.illy z-alone in pre* serving order, and winn Colorado's six votes were cast for Grant aud a spontaneous (.rant man mad:' a cheer, ho was hushed and hissed into silence. Every subsequent symptom of ppplauso was reprised just as sternly. The roll-call showed the forces of all the candidates stauding firmly by their men. The first announcement in which extra interest was taken w.is that of tho vote of Indiana. Tin-re had been many rumors concerning changes in tho delegation, circulated chiefly hy thu Grant men. 'Iho ballot showed _!t; men stauding by Blain**, which was thc whole number expected with only otit* tole for Grant, while Sherman received ll and Washburne 1.

Senator Conkling tben said that the chair? man of the New-York delegation was Instructed to cast the vote of tbe "-tate, hut it was understood that there were members who preferred to casi their votes themselves. Senator Hoar ruled that le* would tnat the refusal of tbe chairman as coming under th.- provision in the rales if there were no ob? jection Hut the roll be called. Judge Itolt-ertsoD whose appearance, in spite of the martial law that had Leen proclaimed against all demonstrations, was greeted wltb a ripple of applause, stated that two New-York delegates vere, absent, find asked the chairman whether their alternates wbo were present could vote. Tho Cliairman ruled that they could. Mr. Conkling who voted first, re* sponded ** Ulysses S. ('rant,' in a clear voice, lt happened that after the four delegatea-at-largu had voled for Grant, tho first names on tho list were those of Senator Hirds:.ll and his colleague from the 1st District, wbo voted for Hlalne. Their votes wiro applauded in that faint and timorous way tofwhich Senator Hoar had reduced tho gal? leries. Senator.Srhroeder voted for.Orant ; ex-Sheiifl Daggelt iiml Wells S.

General Beaver made the announcement as t'liietly as it a una nih: bad never beeu known ia Pennsylvania, Tin: sot*iin:u\ v-uTB, lt was evident that work of soon sort had been done fur Grant over Sunday in tbe Southern d"le gatious. The Si,mb Carolina delegation, which bad been considerably divided, voted 13 for Granl to l for Sher.nan. Tennessee showed ll! for Grant, where no moro thar, ll had been expected.

The point was that one of tbe West Virginia delegates nnd his alter? nate had both departed for home, leaving a proxy. This was a vote for Sherman, winch tho Sherman men were anxious to get of course. Congressman Butterworth, of Ohio, rose to a question of privi? lege, but Senator Hear ruled him out of order. Tho point was subsequently raised again, and Senator Hoar ruled that only the. delegate or bis alternate could vote. A murmur of approval was beard in the Convent ion, nnd Mr. Conkling said, in an audible voice, "'that's right." So West Virginia continues until tbe end of the Convention with only 0 votes. Vermotit voted for Edmunds, of course. Tbe only further woik in tbe roll-call was that one of the two votes of Utah, which had It-en admitted over tho Blaine delegates to help Grant, was niven to Hlaine. It was evident loni*- before tho roll-call was completed that the Grant eolnmn was standing very (inn and that tbe Ulallie men would bf disap? pointed in their hope that they would lead tho Oran! men on tho first ballot by io to 15 Totes. Ur. Blaine's closest Iriendsdid not share tbo san? guine expectations of some of the Blaine men concerning the first ballot. William E.

The announcement showed 284 for lllaine and 304 for ('rant, D3 for Sherman, 34 for Kdmuiids, Kt lor Windon* and 30 for Washburne, The Grant men were elated, and sent up a prout cheer, while Mr. Conkling swum* his hand above his head and laughed with delight. The second ballot began at once, soon nfter ll o'clock, lt proceeded without change until Florida was cailcd, nnd reported as before for Grant. A colored delegate declared.thal tbo vote was not correctly repotted, and the roll of the detention was called. This colored delegate voted for Hlaine. and one of his fellows of tho same hue mado no audible response, while bis lips worked nervously. Tho secretary reported the vote ns six for Grant timi one for Blaine, and W. W. Hicks, willi a great show of indignation, declared that the vote for Grant waa seven. This was not true, fbi* secre? tary called the voil again, and when tho mime of tho colored delegate who had not voted was called he stood hesitating and stammering ni full sight of tin* Convrntiou. At I,st his lips formed the word "Grant," and bis vote was counted. The changes on th's ballot wi re only (niling, 'If followers of almost every candidate gtandin!*solidly by him.

The total of tbe ballot showed a loss of 2 votes to Blaine, and a nun of 1 Hu* Grant, the (Inures st, 111111111* ri iiii.v nitt'Kin. Bythis time il bad begun to bi* noticed that Mr. Conking used a peculiar formula lu reporting tbe v.iteot New-York. Contentins himself with hav* ing bad the roll ol the delegation culled mi th" lirst ballot, he announced the vote himself on the i*iil* sei'ii.-iit ballots, ami dui sn tn thu manner : " I wo ?>f the New-York delegates, Mr. Chairman. are said to bo for Mr. (Sher,nan, 17 for Mr. Hlaine, ."I nr- for Grant"?with sn emphasis on the word " are," <>r In* would say, "I om informed tint 'J delegates arc tor Sheri 17 atc tor lllaine," and so 0:1: but Mr. ('? ulalu.-'s bad link in tips Convention still fol? lowed him, and for several ballots Mr. Campbell, chairman of tie- Uf.'

This wss Mt. Campbell's lillie playful revenge for Mr. Conk linit's Stteinpl to thrust him out of Ihe Coi *? - lion, with iii-ii of Ins colleagues in the West Virginia delegntion, because lie would not swear beforehand to support the nominee of the Conven? tion.

The fifth ballot was au exact reproduction of the fourth, oven to the ono vote for General (larli**ld. ami was entirely without Incident, except that the unfortunate Mr. Joy, who nominated James G. Blaine on Saturday night, cast on this ballot "210 Votes" fruin Michigan for "John'' (!. Ulallie. In the dearth of anything else to take an interest in, the audience made a _'nod deal of such slips of the tongue. Consrossman Butterworth furnished them with somo innocent amusement bv casting the Sherman votes of Ohio by mistake for Grant, sud om: or two deb gates stood up in the New-York section to con gratulato bim on baviug como over even sooner th an tbey expected. On th. sixth ballot Blaine's v..ti dropped to the lowes! ik-uro of the day*?280. The highest figure that he icu bcd mi anv of tho eighteen ballots taken before tho recess was 'J*.;,.

On the thirteenth ballot George \V. McCrary, of Iowa, appeared tn a candidate, receiving ono nf sherman's votes lu the Maryland delegation. Blaine lost a vote in Mississippi) which went to Sherman, ami gained oao in Texas, which Sherman lost. Blaine gained two in tbe Virginia delegation, oue from Bbetman uml one from Ila* i a, while Granl gained one in thc North Carolina delegation, wbieh Sherman lost. This ballot brought Gran! and lllaino within exactly twenty votes of each other? Blaine, I.**.*.; Grant, 303. The fourteenth ballot WM aa exact repetition of the thirteenth so fnr ns the leading candidates wars concerned. In both Mr. Sherman's vote was as low as 80, its lowest except on the sixteenth ballot, wheu it loll to 88. Ou the iifteeuth ballot Giaut's vote reached ita highest figure, noo, aid Blaine's fell oft'to 281. Mr. Shciman's, as bcforo stated, Stood at 88. Tbe spectacle of Grant not only hold? ing his own, but actually faining in votes, was ono for which his friends were not prepared, and the announcement of this voto was received with a long cheer, in which Mr. Conk* liner, as usual. Joined, There was the promise of a break i.n lllaine in tho opening of the sixteenth ballot, which was not fulfilled. Otic, voto for Hlaine appeared in tbe Alabama delegation, and somo of his friends had hopes that tbero would bo other gains all along tho line, but each section of thc Convention stood Immovable and Grant's vote was ..()<;? Blaine's vole, _:,*.:'? Sherman's, 88, the lowest figure of the day. The Convention had been balloting for four honrs, and iiuto was a general feeling that t hot e n mild soon bc a break either for nomination or for dinner. NEW-TOBK ADDS OKI TO nf.AiNr. When the vote ol'New-York was called the Blaine ""on. who had already boen encouraged by an addi? tional volo from Alabama, wero cheered by an lon of a New-Yorker, making tho voto for Blaino in that delegation 18 and tho volo for Grant 50. There was prolonged ap? plause, but this time Mr. Conkling did not lead it. The Texas delegation took its lum in changing, taking a voto fniin Blaine and giving it to Edmonds. Ih.* total stood: Grant, 303: Blaine, 284: Sher? man, DO. On tbe eighteenth ballot Blaine lost '2 of bis Indiana votes, ami Grant gained a vote from Maryland. When the vote of New-York was an? nounced, Gon**ral Sharpe questioned tho accuracy of tho vote as stated, timi Senator Hoar ordered a recall of delegates. This was watched with interest, because it would necessarily disclose who it was who had gone from Grant to Hlaine on tbe lest bal? lot. Almost everv vote, whether for Ulallie or Grant, was applauded i and when Senator Dennis McCarthy, who hail voted tor ('rant on the fir-t roll-call, voted for James 0.

Tho Sherman canvass has been a remarkable one ever since tbe KepubU" cans lirst began to gather at Chicago in preparation for the Convention. Though he is the third uandi* date ni the wee, and without those personal quali? ties which Blaine possesses, and winch attract and bimi men to the Senator from Maine, Mr. Sherman's friends have made a persistent canvass that has . halli n." tl the admiration *>f all lookers-on, and yet il has seemed to muko very little headway iii moro th.in a week that it has boen in progress in Chicago. lill MIMIi: Vul is. The votes secured by Edmunds, Washburne and Windon! were looked am in ull estimates mado dui un.' the ia cc is aa sure in the en.! to go to one ol tho three loading candidates. Among tbo many rumors afloat about tbo hotels during Ibe recess of the Convention tins afternoon was one that th re wera six delegates from Louis! ana who were inclined to vole for Blaine during the afternoon session, bnt that when Senator Conkling bearii ol' it. lie had a consultation with Senator Kellog.-, chairman ?>i (he delegation, who afterward requested the delegatel not to ko over to Blaine. Tbs rumor is given only for w hat it is worth. Mn. cii.Nki.tMi riQUgo. There is fin amusing explanation of Senator Conklinc's peculiar method of announcing the volo of New-York this morning. When Mr. Joy, of Michigan, was casting the voto of his Stato tho oilier day on some qaesl ion,he stated that ono mem? ber of tbe delegation was absent on tho Committee ou Credentials, and nsked permission to cast his Vote, saying they knew bow ho would voto. This wus refused. Tho New-York member of the Committee on Credentials was also absent from thuCOii.-cutiou, but when Mr. Conkling announced I tue voto or Aow-rorl. he evtoenny mviuucu ?uw voto of this member. Judge Robertson said in a perfectly good-humored way tbat he thought the Senator bad mado a mistake, and probablv didn't observe that Now-York was getting a privilege which had just been refused to Michigan. Mr. Conk? ling repl ed, with something like auger, that every delegate of New-York was present either iu his own person or by Ins alternate. By this means, by the way, Mr. Conkling obtained the services ot three delegates in thc Convention from one district ?two In the Convention and ono in the committee. Mr. Conkling chose to regard this attempted cor* rec tion as an imputation on bim, so to-day. when? ever tho vote of thc minority in the New-York dele? gation was handed to Mr. Conkling by Henry R. James from Judge Robertson, who made it up for eaoh ballot, the Senator would say: " It is said," or " I am informed," or " It ls reported" that so many votes had been given for Blain? or Sherman. This was kept un till Mr. Campbell, of West Virginia, set tho Con* ntion and the galleries to laughing at the Senator, when, as before stated, he desisted. W HR RIC THE ORANT VOTK8 COME FROM. Tho analysis of Graut's vote on the first ballot shows that of his 304 votes, 177, or three-fifths, come from hopelessly Democratic States, 52 from doubt? ful States, including New-York, and ouly 61 fiom Ke i'i lid ic a ti States. A CCRIOUS RUMOR. An interesting rumor was current during the dav that General Grant was in tho oity at the houso of his son, Fred Grant, and the strength of tbe Grant party was duo in part to thc fact, that a number of Southern delegates had been taken to seo the Gen? eral. This is the statement of a prominent und mnst reputable citizen of Chicago, whose residence is closo by that of Fred Grant. It is impossible, from the nature of tho case, to verify this report. Senator Conkling said during tho recess in tha Convention this afternoon, tbat there wero 300 votes for Grant that would stav in Chicago all Sum mer before they would desert General Grant.
