Graut had 305 votes, and Blaine 278. Sher? man, however, hud HG. The coutest, then went forward without the dianne of more than a dozen votes, until the thirty-fourth ballot was reached. On the thirty-fourth bal? lot, Garfield, who had had one vote, suddenly received 17. On the next ho received 50. When the roll was called for tho thirty sixth ballot, the Blaine and Sherman States began to cast their votes for General Garfield from the beginuing of the call. It soon be? came plain that the contest was between Grant aud Garfield. A feeling of iutenso excite? ment soon reigned, and the crowd broke out repeatedly into tremendous cheering, interrupting tho call. Tho band began to play " Hail to the Chief," and caution began to tire a salute before the call was finished. Geueral Garfield once rose to a point of order, and said his name should not be used without his consent, but the call went on regardlessly.

VOTES FOR OAKFIELD ON THR 6IXTH?GRANT'S INCREASED VOTE OK TIIE SEVENTH BALLOT Ol TIIE DAT. 1ST TELEGRAPH TO THC TRIBUNE "I Obicaoo, Jone 8.?The Couvention resumed, ni lbs opeuioc ot tu sixth day of actual session, tin -work of balloting -without preface or preparation o any kind. Immediately upon the last words of tbi prayer bi the Rev. Dr. Thomas followed the voict I tho secretary calling tho name of Alabama for le-twenty-ninth ballot. Tho event of thc ballot roved to bc the transft-r of tho 10 Edmunds Totes i the Massachusetts delegation to Sherman. Their itention to mako tho chance had been rumored bout before, thc Convention met, and created no irprise : and the announcement was received with pplanse. This was hailed at tho lirst important renk in the vote of any candidate, and s:>me sun nine ones regarded lt as the possible indication of general dianne. An interesting question was raised npon thc vote f tho Alabama delegation. Tho chairman au ounced 10 votes for (Irant, 3 fur Sherman andi ur Blaine. Ex-Senator Willard Warner challenged he correctness of the vote, and the roll was called. Vh.n fJeorgo Turner, tho chan niau, attempted to ole for a delegate who was absent from tho hall nd who he said bad authorized him to do ko, Setin or Hoar ruled that only the delegate himself or ithei of th. two alternates from his district, or in be case of delcgatee-at-large any ono of the four lternatesat-large, could vote. General Garfield hen raised the question that the correctness ol the -otc ufa State could only be questioned hy a ineiii ?er of the delegation, being under tbo impression bat the question in this instance was raised .y a delegate outside tho State of Alabama. The liiestion afterward carno up again, and Senator Ioar ruled that any delegate could question'the directness of tho vote of any State ; hut an cxam nation of tho rules showed that he had boco misled iy the wording of tlie nile tis adopted four years ago, md that only a delegato from the disputed State ?ould question the correctness of the vote. Tliere is obvious danger In this rule for future National Conventions. As it now stands it would "ender it possible for a delegation having only a mit of its members present, hut all In favor of one ?andidatc, to cast tho whole vote of their State for hat candidate without Interference from tho rest >f the Convention. There were a number of changes back and forth ipon this, the first ballot of the day. In the [??*{. itia delegation Blaino lost 1, and 1 in Kentucky, he latter going to Sherman. In Maryland Grant lost 1 and Blaine 2. Sherman get ting all'three. The Windom vote, as well as tlie Edmunds vote, broke its this ballot; Blaine getting three rotes from Min? nesota. In Mississippi Grant gamed 'z votes from Sherman. The Tote of New-York wis unchanged? ">0 for Grant. 18 for Blaino andi, for Sherman. In 1'ennessee Blaine lost 1 vote to Sherman. The l-'.d tntinds i otc outside of Massachusetts stood pretty timi, hut his total vote dropped to Iii. Sherman rose to UH, his highest figure thus far. Blaine received 278, one less than his vote on the last bal? lot last night; and Grant lost 2 as compared with tho same ballot, hid vote standing 305. The Sher? man gain from the last ballot last night was 'Zo. A VOXK IOU GKXIIi.W. SHERIDAN. The ebief incident of the next ballot was the tin expected appearance of General Philip ll. Sheridan as a Presidential candidate. A delegate from Wyn ming cast one vote for Sln-ridim, which wns loudly applauded, lt ho happened that General Sheri? dan was on tho platform at tbe time, nnd heard tho announce**' nt it:'li gnat amusement. There were prolonged ami good-hu? mored cheers ns Senator Hoar and Major Harrison went over and jokingly congratulated General Sheridan. A moment afterward tlie audience were surprised to seo Gin. ral Sheridan appear at the chairman's desk, evidently about, to ad? dress the Convention. When Senator Hoar had commanded the nttention of tho au? dience General Sheridan said he was vi it much obliged to the gentleman who had mentioned his name, but it wonld bo impossible for him t>> receive such a nomination, unless In some way be could turn it over to his lu-st friend. This was taken as an allusion to Grant, and was received with evident pleasure by the Grant men. General Sher? idan's reason for not being .ihle to accept the nomi? nation was. of course, known to be thnt the Cn ..ti tution of tho United States places an obstacle in the way of tho election of a native-born Irishman lc the Presidency. There was a slight break in the Wasbburne vote in Illinois in this ballot; Blaine got 12 votes, 2 of which carno from Washbnrne. In lndiant and Maryland, erich, Blaine lost 1 to Sherman. At this point Mr. W. W, Hick*, of Florida, aro-sr and demanded tbe protection ol tbe ebairman, in ai excited manner, from emissaries wbo sough I tn com? pel tbe members of the delegation to violate tbcii oaths and tlieir honor. This was supposed to be ai allusion to a colored Sherman delegate in the neigh? borhood, but it was observed that Mr. Hicks burr tbe visits of the (irant emissaries from tbe New Vork delegation with great equanimity. Blaine received ll votes in the Minnesota del eg* tion ; Windora got 4. In New-Jersey llhnno lust 2, which went to Wasbburne. In Smith ('; rolim Grant lost 1, which went to Sherman, and the 1 Iv iimi inls vote in Tennessee also went to Sherman Sherman's totul vote was I'ZO, Blames 27'J. Gran t'l 300. TBIKTY-FIP.ST BALLOT. On the next ballot Alabama announced lf> void for (irant. F.x-Setiator Wurner ngain .halli ngoi the vote, which had been increased for Grant by 1, bv casting tho vote of a delegate who WM no ii the hall. Senator Hoar ruled against this, ami tin volo for (irant was reduced to IS. Mr. Conklinf had a little boom on this ballot, which amused bm greatly ; one delegate in New-Mexico casting a rofl for him. At thc announcement Mr. Conkling threw Ins bead back and laughed heartily. Blaine h st 2 votes in Indiana, which proved H bea very doubtful delegation indeed, and alum i\ inch the Hlaino men lind been apprehensive frou thc fir-tt. Wasbburne got tbe 2 votes which Blaini lust in Indiana and 1 from Windom in Minnesota linn of General Garfield's 2 votes in Pi-uiisylvanii left him on tbis ballot. 'Ibo totals stuud rcspee lively: Grant, ao*-, Blaine,270; Sherman, Uti There was a heaity cheer from thc Graul lin n. till vote being withiu ono of their highest vote las night. ALTERNATE ROPES AND TEARS. In tho thirty-second ballot there was anntbc break in tho Indiana delegation, Blaine's vot falling to Kl nnd Washhurne's rising to 12. (iran Lad 'A votes, and Sherman 3. This mus loss fur Illunie of 5 votes, which went to Wash burne.

Shel nan stood at 117. Blaine at 270?his very Iowm vote?and (irani rose to [{HO, wliich was ns high a his highest vole of last night. Tho showing put th Grant men in excellent spirits. The vote of Alabama, in tho thirty-tint ballot, gavo Blaine's friends hope i ii little break in his favor, but i was a snort one. Four votes were given hun in th delegation. 3 of which cunio from Sherman. 1 Georgie, Blaine and Grant each gained 1; but I Illinois Blaine lost 2. which neut back to Was! buruc. In Indiana Blaine gained 1, but Sherma dropped 7 votes on tho ballot, standing at 111 Grant's vote remained immovable at 3011, win Blame brisked up a little to 27(1. AN INDICATION" ol" THE RESULT. The thirty-fourth ballot Contained the germ ( tho nomination that was finally made. Tho roi call was almost without incident, except that l Indiana Blaine gained hack 0 of his votes, um the applause of the Blaino meu ; but when Wisco eiu was called, und J. B. Cassidy east 10 of its '. votes for Jurats A. Garfield, of Ohio, there was stir of surprise all throng li the crowd, nud mut applause in tbe galleries, which havo jireeti General Garfield's entrance to the Conventu at every session with tho most enthusiast demonstrations. On this ballot tim (iiaiit struan roso to 312 votes?its higliesr nguri* tuna ..?>. Blaine was almost constantly at 'Zi:>. Sherman fell to 107. Washbnrne had 30 votes. Edmunds ll, Windom-I. and (icm ral Garfield 17. There was a great cheerily tho Grant men, Senator Conkling standing up in the centre of the house and leading the applause. Oeneral Garfield arose on his chair, pale with excitement. Senator Hoar said: "For what purpose dots the gentleman risef?evi? dently preparing to rulo out any personal ex? planation or declination. A strict construction of the rules required tbis; but probably no chairman but Senator Hoar would have enforced it in tlu* same situation. His ability and sbsolute Impar? tiality have attracted equally the admiration of all spectators, whether ill tho Convention or in the galleries, General (iarfield said, " I rise to a question ot or? der," which lie thin proceeded to state by saying that he questioned ihe correctness of Um vote. The secretary had reported 17 votos aa being cast for him. Noone had any right to cast votes for a gen? tleman in this Convention without his consent; "and that consent," said General Garfield, "I re? fuse." Sen;-.tor IToar promptly ruled that this was not a uuest ion of order, which General Garfield, of course. knew ns well ns tho Senator himself; hut he had ingeniously managed tt? decline ibo nom? ination before being shut off by the chair, and sat down satisfied, Utile thinking, perhaps, Unit in two more ballots be would become tbo nominee of thc Republican party for Preaident of the Dnited States. The thirty-fifth ballot was called amid some excite? ment, but vet without any general expectation that the Convention was approaching a nomination.

When General lian ison mounted tm his chair and callcil out timi Indiana, ont of thirty votes, gave twenty-nine for Garfield, neither tin- Convention nor th.- galleries cou hi ct ml mn theinHclvcs any longer. There was a universal iiproni ; half the ( oiivi'iilioii rose to its feel. Leaders of all factions run hurriedly hither and thither Ibr-ngb thet i veiition; and, while lin- building was resounding willi I.uni cheers for Garfield, there was a fluster rn' excited deb galts about tim General himself, wlio sat quiet and c.ml in his ordinary place sit the . ml nf one of the rows nf Minis in Hf Ohio ili-leiratioii, having bis own seat on the middle isle mar the very roar of the Convent ion. Ile wore the white badge of un Ghin dele-rate on his coil, and held his massive bead steadily im? movable. Bul tm un appi annice of extra resolute-' ness on his face, as that nf a man '.vb..was r.-pi. li? ing internal excitement, he might have been sup ptisetl tn havo as lillie interest iii the ? lings as any other delegate on thi? ll.mr of the Convention. He was in fact going through one of the most extraordinary experiences ever given to an American ritiren. Ile was being struck by Presidential lightning while slttlnfMn the body which was to nominate him. Ho was being nominated for * President at, hair past 1 o'clock in the afternoon, winn ho could hardly have dreamed of such a thing at '.) o'clock in thc morning. A DltAMATiC INCIDENT. 'Ibero has been no such dramatic incident in politic*, for a great many years ut least, ex? cept possibly tba Domination of Horatio Seymour in i8(iH. Entirely apart from ali political con? siderations, it was au extraordinary and im? pressive Incident io seo this quiet man sud? denly wheeled hy a popnlar sentiment into the position of standard-bearer to tim great Republican parly, and in all probability Into the Presidency Itself, with its gnat power nmi world? wide fame. All Ibis while tho crowd had been sheering, and tbe elements of the Convention nero dissolving and (rystallizing in an instant of tun.-. Where the Sherman vote, was going, whether simply hy force of drifting or not, was apparent enough when a North Carolina delegate seized thc banner of his State and waved it toward tbe Ohio delegation, all of whom were on their feet. Thc iiiiuatiou w.is Indeed peculiar. G. i.e.ni (jjii_t-.li] had entered tho Convention as the loyal repre? sentative of Secretary Sherman, who waa still a candidate. Tho Ohio delegation, most of whom wore iv aim friends of both men, wero in honor bound to support Mr. Sherman bo long as Ibero was any possibility of his nomination. General Garfield had, like a truthful and honorable gentle? man, set his fao from tho first against nil suggestions that he should he? roine ii candidate, feeling that any yielding to such suggestions would bo rankly disloyal to the fri.-nd ho had como to support. Now ho was being forced into tho field in spite of himself, nnd the Indications were that his own vote would MOO surpass that of his candidate. Tho Ohio delegation were seen to l>o in anxious, flurried con? sultation about General Garfield's chair, ex-Gov? ernor Dennison, Congressman Butterworth and Major Bickham being prominent in tho group. iowa's break roa aaamctn. Nothing seemed to como of it, bowever, and when the crowd had been quieted down tho secretary was again iu his nlaco, ready to resiimo tho roll-call, Winn he called " Iowa" every ear was strained to hear tho reply, which had to travel from the furl lust limit of tho body of delegates. Thi* 22 votes of that State had been cast on every ballot for James 0. Illaine, and if these votes should lm cast for Garfield it would provo that tho Instantaneous fusion of tho anti-Grant clements or the Convention was com? plete. When the chairman of tho delegation called out that Iowa casi 22 votes tor James ... Garfield a wild storm of cheering broke ont, which after a few moments died away, while thero was a renewal of tho hasty and whispered con? sultation among tha Ohio delegates about General Garfield's chair. Su.ldenly tho Ohio delegation broke out in cries und applause, and an electric cheer spread from them as a oentre in an iiistsint all over the Convent mn, telling without any tit ed ni winds thal (Hun's new candidate had re? placed tho old; thal Secretary Sherman had been withdrawn, and that, with tim full consent of his friends, Garfield waa a candidate. From tliis time tho votes split ..IT between Grant and Garfield almost without exception, the roll call proceeding amid tbo growing exulta? tion of tho anti-Grant men, who thought they saw viet orv beforo them. Kansas gavo iti six. Illaine votes to Garfield, Grant's four votes .standing linn. lu Kentucky, tho Blaino votes carno to Garfield. Every Garfield vote now was applauded, while Mr. (.'.inkling watched the se? rc tary with u cold eye. Senator Kellogg cast the rote of Louisiana, 8 for Garfield, h for Grant.

THK CONVENTION ANXIOUS TO CONCILIATE THE CONKLING INTERESTS IN NEW YORK?EFFORTS TO MAUI THE NOMINAUON UNANIMOUS. |DY TKLEGRAPH TO THB TRIHUNf.l Cuicaoo, Juno 8.?The Convention, which had been so deliberate in tho selection of a candidate for tho Presidency, went about completing the ticket this evening without plan or organization. The only thought in thu Liinds of tho delegates seemed to lie to put the business through in tho greatest possible baste; and, as it would tako less time to finish tho work bv letting Mr. Conkling .have his own way than by opposing him, that course wss pursued without much apparent thought about the consequences. Tho overshadowing influence of tho great State of New-York, also, with its thirty-live electoral votes, tho fact that if thoso votes are cast for the Republican candidate next November they will en? sure his election, and tho fear that unless Mr. Conkling left Chicago carrying with him somo evi? dence of his power in the Convention ho would go back to New-York and let tho Stato bo carried hy the Democrats?all these considerations, and others probably had their influence upon the Convention, ami caused delegates to vote in tho faco of excite? ment as they would not have voted upon sober second thought. Tbe conduct of a majority of tho New-York dele? gation, when General Garfield was nominated this afternoon, also made an impression. When every? body cleo In the Convention was cheering for the nominee, and seemed for a moment to have forgot? ten the differences that had existed, the majority of the New-York delegation sat still in their seats with glum faces, making no eliott to conceal their disap? pointment. If they had carried tho same spirit into the campaign it would not havo been well for success in the Empire State. Thc talk of Mr. Conkling's friends during the re? cess also contributed to tho demoralization of tho delegates. They threatened all sorts of disasters if a majority of the Convention (land to pile insults upon the Senator from New-York; and they mado no set nt of tho fact that they felt very ugly over their defeat iii the afternoon. Boon after tho adjournment for a recess, a caucus was lu ld in the parlors ol' the New-York delegation, fm-the purpose of arranging somo programme for tin- light for the Vii (-Presidency. Most of thc New Vork delegation wero present, and other (irant men joined them. Sumo of tho Sherman managers wets also (ailed in. Mr. I.t vi P. Morton had been prominently men ttoned as a probable candidate for tho Vice-Presi? dency on the ticket with Grant, if the latter had been successful; and it has generally boen sup pnM*d that Senator Conkling had given tho New Vork City Representative in Congress reason to ex pi' I his support. Tnis nomination would have been generally acceptable to Republicans from all pints ol' the country, although it wniilil not have beni tho lirst choito of many. Hut Mr. Con? kling was soon found to havo other plans, and Mr. Morton declined to allow tho uso of his name as a candidate. Mil. CONK! INC'S PURPOSE. Mr. Conkllng's purpose wns not to bp misunder? stood; lu- wished to mako tho Republican party vindicate ex-Collector Arthur, whoso cause ho had championed when Secretary Sherman removed him from iitiice.'iind to humiliate iMr. Sherman by mak Ing the immediate friends ot the Secretary of tho In .i.siny iii Kio Convention assist in this vindica? tion. At tho same time ho would secure upon the ticket his own personal representative and friend. lieforetbe Convention met in tho evening, it was reported about the hotels that .Mr. Conkling had com limed to present General Arthur's nano; but no oim went to tbo Exposition Building expecting him H. lu- nominated except after sflong struggle. The delegates and spectators were slow in gath? ering at thu Exposition Hall after the recess ; and at no time wen- the galleries more than half full of I people. On tbe table of the presiding officer there had been placed a dural ship resting npon a bcd of bright dowers. Its rigging was of smilax, .and upon |tho sith- |of .the |hiill was wrought (iii crimson blo-Souis the word Garfield. Many of the delegates ami spectators St the evening session appealed with Garfield badges, which wen-for sale on the streets within sn hour aft.-r tho nomination was made. They were of crimson ribbon, ami boro in golden letters the-.lcgrud: '-For President, General James A. Garfield, of Ohio." Wlule tho sudience were waiting for the Conven? tion to assemble, a local glee club entertained them with some cornie songs, which wen- not particularly well sung, but which served to amass the people, MK, WASH1H"ltMl NOMINATED. At half past live Senator Hoar called the Conven? tion to order, and tho call of Slates for tho purpose ol' putt mit candidates for tho Vice-Presidency in nomination bogan. Tue call only proceeded as far as California, wli.-n Mr. Pix ley, one of the delegation fiom that State ami tho chairman of it, put in nomination tho Hon. E. ll. Wtishbitriic. This was expected and was received with a good deal of enthusiasm,especially by the people in the galleries, who from the lirst mention of his name applauded if. uitb great heartiness, if tho audience had selected tho candidate they would have chosen Mr. Wasbburne ; aud their selection would not have been a bad ono for the place, Mr. Pixloy mado a good lillie five minutes speech in presenting Mr. Washburn!'s name, referring to his sixteen years ?ervicu in Congress, and the honorable resold ho made in Paris during the Franoo-Pruseian war. For a few minutes it seemed as though tho Washburno men win-to be it-warded for tho work thev had done in tho morning in sfiirtunr tho current to Gar iiohl, ami thus securing his nomination. Rut there were arrangements going on upon the floor of tito Convention that wero te prevent it. Prominent New-York delegates were going about tho hall amt holding hurried consultations with tho men from other States, and it was apparent that, althou?h tho |ilaii for tho nomination of General Art bur had not been entirely arranged belum tho Convention mot. it was rapidly being perfected. Tho nomination of Mr. Washbnrne was seconded by Senator McCarthy, of New-York, who was tho list to break away trom tho Grant instructions yesterday, and vote for illaine. His speech was brief an pointed, and hia appearance as tho advocate of Washbiiriio was supposed to indicate that tho bolters in the New-York delegation Intend? ed to stand together, and that General Arthur was to receive only the (airant strength. OrilIR CANDIDATES, Tho other candidates wero presented in quick succession. Ex-Govornor Jewell, of C nneetieul. who was voted for for tho sumo position in 1870, and who would certainly make a very popular candidate, was pre? sented by Connecticut, whoso delegation desired to give their distinguished fellow-citizen the compli? ment of tlieir vote. Mr. Hicks, tbo chairman of the Florida delegation, nominated Judge Thomas Settle as a representative Southern Republican, and in his speech spoke in eb quent and forcible terms of tho persecution which tho Republicans of the South havo had to endure. North Carolina, tho State in which Judge Settle formerly re? sided, seconded his nomination through oue of its colored delegates. Wheu Michigan was roached Mr. Conger said that tho Republican Conventiou in that State had instructed its delegates to vote for their distinguished Senator, Thomas W. Ferry, bul tbat bs had received a letter Item Mr. Ferry declining to be a candidate. Ile asked that the Iciti-r might bo printed with his lon. At tbis point Congressman Frye, who was amporarily in the chair, read a dispatch rora Oregon announcing tbst tbs Republicans' ad carried that State by not less than. ,000 majority, and that there was great enthusiasm ter Geueral Garfield's nomination. New-York wse iilled, and. to the surprise of everybody, no esponse was made. Ihe managers trom that tate were too busy in making their combiaa :ou3 to notice the oall of tbe State,, r they were determined not to put General Arthur i nomination unless tbey were sure of sufficient number of votes in advance to ominate him. Tennessee wss the next late, at which tbe call halted, and Coo grossman muck, of that State, presented tbe name of Horace wynard, in accordance with the instructions of uo Tennessee State Convention. OF.NKRAL ARTHUR PRESKNTRD. After Mr. Houck'e speech ex-Lieutenant-Governor Woodford rose iu the New-York delega ion, and standing upon bia seat, and Her a brief reference to tbs loyal rapport rhicb New-York bad given to General Grant, said hat New-York, could not be behind any in support f tho candidate nominated to-day, be presented the ame of General C. A. Arthur for tbe second lace on tbo ticket. The nomination was received nth a good deal of applause in tbe New-York dele* at ion, but tbe galleries and tbe body of tbe Con* ention were silent. I'n sent ly tbe tall, slim form of ex Governor Den* ison of Ohio, was seen rising above the beads of he delegates from that State. This wss tbe nt ical uoi nt in tho contest. Governor Dennison, -vitb Governor Foster-and General Garfield lad been Secretary Sherman's nearest friends ti tho whola contest j and Secretary -herman was probably tbe one candidate of all who tad made tho canvas tbat Conkling aod Arthur vould bave least desired to bave nomi lated. Now the one man wbo bsd been he catir-o of the bitter enmity between the Adminis nition aud tbe Senator from New-Tork bo man whose removal from ofllce hy .lr, Sherman had been made the occasion >y Mr. Conkling for tho most savage attacks iii the Secretary, of tbo Treasury and the est, was a candidate before the Conven? tion ; and it seemed hardly possible hat Governor Dennison was ready to offer he vote of bis State for that man; mt he did it. and the action of Oblo urned the scale. Governor Dennison, in cconding tho nomination, pledged the vote of Ohio or tbe ticket in November by a majority ot 30,000. Then came the flood. General Kilpatrick followed >vith one of his florid speeches for Arthur. Mr. '.inkling, who bad arranged all this, sat In his seat inmediately under General Kilpatrick, wearing mon his face tbe most comical look ot liicoiicein that was ever seen. It ,vas such a strong contrast with ihe intensely interested appearance of his counte lance during tue whole previous proceedings se to ie one of the most striking foatnres of the conven ion as seen from the platform. Illinois was the next to wheel into line, dr. Emory A. Storm loading up that State md ranging it by tho side of New-York and lino. Tlie nomination of General Arthur trashy this time assursd, for it was evident that he Convention had been stampeded, completely thrown oil its balance. After a Maryland delegate bad bronght op tbe roto of tbat State, or at least promised t, Mr. Fi I ley, of St. Louis, was ani? ons to bave the nomination made bv icclauiat ion. The chairman of the Convention ruled that it would be out ot order, but suggested that it would be in onler by a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules ami* declare auy one nomi? nated. Mr. Filler demanded a suspen? sion of the rules, but the motion waa lost ami the call of tho States proceeded. Delegate Chambers, of Texa**, presented tbe name of tue candidate iroui the Lone Star State, F-x-Goveruor E. J. Davis, bot tbe Convention was too impatient to listen to bim. Florida was the next State to be swept away by the flood, and Mr. Hicks, the chairman of the delegation, withdrew tbe name of .Judge Settle and seconded the nomination of Arthur. New-York. Illinois and Ohio had joined hands for this most unexpected nomina? tion. Pennsylvania was the last of tho great States to swing into line. .Mr. Cessna aid that the Kevstone State was once more wi timi two of a um te, and that union was for General Arthur by this time tiie Couxeution had completely loss coutrol of itself, and the enthusiasm on tbo fl. or was wild, though not intellighur. For ouce tho gal? leries were in a more judicial frame ot mind. A colored man from North Carolina translerred the vote of Little to Arthur. All oppos-tion to Arthur by this tune had gone to pieces. The New-Yotk bolters also went over, aud Senator McCarthy withdrew their support from Washbnrne and gave it tn Arthur. Tho last speech wns mado bv Mr. Campbell, of Wost Virginia, who in tended to have nominated General Nathan liott, of that State, but wbo, amid much confusion, declared the intention of ti.e delegates from West Virginia to support Mr. Washbnrne. Even Mr. Conkling forgot his dignity i-nough in his impatience cnll ont " tune ' while Mr. Campbell was speaking, rim voting was uot attended with much excite? ment. When Hie roll-call was completed and tbe result was announced there was very general ap? plause. ? HOW THE RESULT WAS REACHED.

When tbe Stato of Alabama was called and tho vote an? nounced, its correctness was questioned hy a mem? ber of tho delegation, and the chairman ordered ths roll of delegates to be called. Then oue of the dele? gates stated that a colleague was absent, sick, aud hud authorized him to cast his vote for him, aud he asked whether he could do sn. To tliis the chair? man replied that tim roll-call must not be inter? rupted, aud that the ques tion would be decided when it arose. 'J ho roll-call went on, and wben tho nanni of Alex? ander was called and responded to. tho question was raised as to whether the response li ad been made by Alexauder. It was admitted that it had not been. A seeond delegate from Alumaba also failed to respond, aud then when the delegates were sil called, tho names of tbo alternates for the absent delegates were called. Thero was a response, how? ever, from only ono of them. Th.i chairman stated, as bis mode of executing tha mle on the subject, that in tbe case of a failure of a delegate to respond, the name of the alternate standing opposite on tbo roll would bo called, aud if ho did uot respond tben the name of tho otber al? ternate from tbat district would be called, aud ia the case of delegates-at-large tbe names of tbe other alternates of that class would be called. Tho volo of Alabama was tben annouueed aa Grant 10, Blaine 1, Sherman 3. The result of tha decision was to lose Grant one vote. When Virginia was called, the chairman an? nounced 10 votes for Grant, 3 for Blaiue, 3 for Sher? man. A colored delegate challenged the vote, and tho roll was called in detail, when 4 responded for Sherman instead of 3, as previously announced. Carter, a delegate-at-large, was absent, aud an al? ternate responded for him.
