THE JUDICIARY.
Assem embling of the Convention MT the New
Court House,

ASCENDING OIL the convention Mt the new
Court House.
The delegates to the Judicial Convention for the
nomination OF Judge OF the District Court and two
Judges of the Court OF Common Pleas assembled
this morning In the New County Court House,
Sixth street, below Chestnut and the clock struck
10 contention and confusion commenced as to the
selection OF chairman.
Trouble IN Enecting n Temporary OrsanIza-
Several members jumped to their feet at once and
indiscr1minate nominations for chairman were made
at the same moment. These included Messrs. A. L.
Hemmerschotz, Isaac Hazlehurst and Horatio
Gates Jones, each OF whom was declared elected.
Mr.. Hemmerschotz took the chair and made an
appeal for ORDER but he might as well have appealed
to the rocks OF Gibraltar so great were the confusion
and disorder at the moment 1t was evident that
the discomfort was of no trning kind and John
Davis Watson, Esq, perceiving this, mounted a
chair and endeavOred to harmonic the tumultuous
gathering. He suggested that the friends OF each
candidate meet different sides of the room, and
that after fair count the choice OF the convention
act as temporary chairman.
This met.with applause, but was not acted on, and
as 1t was impossible at this preliminary stage or the
proceedings to tell who were delegates and who
were not, it was finally agreed that all retire and
hand in their credentials at the door, that none
but regularly elected delegates have access to the
room. This ceremony took some time, and the dele
gates being regularly assembled the convention
proceeded to form q temporary organization.
Hon Isaac Hazlehurst was selected as Chairman.
and on taking the chair returned his thanks In a
short but appropriate speech, which was received
Messrs. Mayer Sulzberger and Horatio Gates
Jones were selected as temporary secretaries.
Committee on Credentials and Permnn ent Or
EanizatiOn.
Mr. A. II. Franciscus then moved that a commit
tee Of two be appointed from eacn ward on credeu-
tals and permanent organization, which was unani-
mouslv agreed to- each delegation selecting its
representatives. which process occupied the conVen-
ton until IL O'Clock.
The following gentlemen were respectively chosen
for the wards named on the following

FINANCE AND COMMERCE..
EVENING TELEeRArH ovy1oz.l

The local money market continues to work
easily, and rates are invariably in favor of bor-
rowers of good standing. The money current is
still westward, to move produce and the new
wool crop, but it is not very rapid or voumi-
nous and the market is not likely to be disturbed
at present. The national banks have prepared
their statements up to the close of business on
the 9th instant, in accordance with the call of
the Comptroller of the Currency, and they are
very satisfactory, without single exception.
The gold market shows some activity and is
quite strong and steady opening and closing
about noon at 112T, the highest figure being
113 and the only variation. In

The Contested seats.
The Chairman then announced that the roll would
be called and as each delegate whose seat is not
contested approaches the Secretarys desk he would
receive tickets OF admission to the hail. AS to the
contested delegates he would not admit them af er
the recess soon to be had, until the Committee on
Credentials had decided whether they had right to
the floor or not
To this the defeated candidate for the chairman
Ship in the interest of the Berry delegates, ii. II.
X. Elliott interposed a strong objection. All the
delegates he said, were equal upon the floor of this
hall until the Committee on Contested Seats had
rendered its report and the chairman had no right
to discriminate against any delegate, whose seat
was contested or not
A number OF delegates whose seats were con-
tested made violent objections to the chairman's
plan, declaring that he wanted to beat them out Of
the convention.
The chairman's plan was ratified by majority OF
delegates and the tickets were then distributed.
AS James H. Williams, the first colOred delegate
to receive ticket, stepped up, he greeted with
applause
