were numerous candidates who had pub

pensable preliminary that every candidate
who allowed his name TO be presented be-
fore this Convention should pledge him
self TO abide its decision and support the
nominee.
Business was therefore suspended, and
the motion adopted and made rule.
The gentlemen who proposed Messrs.

the required pledge. and the propOsers OF

NEW WORK.

High Interest--The Ocean Rank
81 a Robbery. I,
NEW YORK, June 30.-During the past
two days late borrowers, in order to
make up their accounts, have been
forced to pay as high as the half of one
per cent: interest for use of funds over
night. Yesterday the demand continued
till after four O'clock, some of the bar ks
having. to. remain open to accommodate
customers who were engaged in making
up their, balances. The interest paid
for one day was ut the rate of one hun
dred and eighty per ceat. per annum.
In regard to the Ocean Bank robbery
several new items, which are apparently
of little Importance, have been made
known. An old practical mechanic
has examined half of the instrument
left by the burglars and says only one
or two of them have been recently used.
The stem of the anger found is only %
inches in length, while the holes bored
in the floor are "a inches deep. The
real mystery of the whole affair lays in
the manner in which the combination
lock was opened and it is suggested that
tho door may not have been locked at
