BEAN. for Committee. The Nomination Of Garfield.
 Chicago, June 8, 1 :35 p. m.-On the seth ballot, just taken, James A. Garfield of Ohio has been selected as the nominee of the Re publicas National Convention for President On the adjournment of the Convention last evening it was evident to all that to further prslong the contest between the Grant and Blaine factions would not only engender bitterness of feeling, but also endanger the spirit of concord desired among the repre- sentatives of the party. Accordingly, on the resembling of the convention at 10 o'clock this morning, 1t was determined to place in nomination a conciliatory candi- date, and after balloting between Sherman, Edmunds, Windom, Washburne, and Gar field, the latter was selected, his nomination being made unanimous. Among all but knowing ones his nomination was received with surprise, but satisfaction, as up to the 2sth ballot he had received but two votes, and was generally regarded ss one of the candidates least likely to be selected as the dark horse.
 Later.-Balloting continued materially unchanged up to the 34th ballot, when the Blaine men began to break for Garfield, un- til on the Seth ballot he was nominated by the following vote: Garfield 379, Grant 3ll and Brine 42. Much enthusiasm prevails, all the bells are being rung, as an accom- paniement to the firing of cannons, etc. The Latest From Chicago.
