Details are given in the papers just received from Europe and America of the meeting of the National Republican Convention at Chicago. Telegraphic news of the selection of Mr. James A. Garfield as the candidate of the patty for the Presidency has already been published in our columns, but the following details of the voting will doubtless be read with interest. Thirty-six ballots in all were taken fur the head of the ticket. The first ballot was—Grant, 304; Blaine, 284 Sherman, 93; Edmunds, 34; Washburne, 30; Windom, 10. Upon the first six of the day there was not much change from the previous figures, though they were marked by alight gain for Grant and a falling off in Blaine's vote. The succeeding ballot showed that Garfield had 14 votes, in lieu of the one or two which he had been receiving.
