The Nominations for Coroner, Re

Legislature.
Tfstcrday afternoon, at. 4 o'clock, the delegate
tlectlons of the Republican party were held at tlie
nanal places, representatives being elected to each
of the nrty-threc conventions which assemble to-lay
for placing candidates In nomination. The elections
continued until eight o'clock In the evening, and, as
far as we have heard, were attended with no unusual
excitement and disgraced by no unBeenily hand-to-hand
contention. Thero was, perhaps, as much
interest displayed as is usual, but, except In a few
cases where there was a spirited contest between
two rival aspirants, there was but little Interest taken
in the proceedings by the great mass of the ltepuli
Jlcan voters. The people arc not yet thoroughly
aroused to the necessity of wresting the machinery
cf the party from the hands of the professional poli
ticians; but if these enterprising and zealous gentle
men do not accomplish a better day's work than has
been their custom of late, the people who yesterday
stood quietly by with folded hands will be certain to
display their power, either positively or negatively,
on the second Tuesday In October next. Below we
give full reports of the proceedings of all the city
and county conventions, and the result of the de
liberations of the conclaves In the different legisla
tive districts.

fj trial Df)Hiteh to The Evening Tclecirnjih.
Washington, June 9. Alexander II. Stephens,
Vice-President of the late Southern Confederacy,
publishes a two-column communication in one of the
papers here to-day on the situation and future pros
pects of the country. He closes as follows:
"Tho Federal maelilnery for tne last ten years nsi
been abnormal in Its action. It must be brought
back to .lell'ersonlan doctrines, and made to contorm
in u k wnrkincs with the orcanlc principles of Its
structure, before there can possibly be a return of
the dmsol peace, harmony, prosperity, and happl-
negs which lornicnv innni 'ui ' hhibv. a u.-ic ir.
other hope for constitutional liberty on this conti
nent.
"Judge Nicholson may 'dream dreams' about an
other constitutional amendment providing a new
mode of electing the President, but the remedy lies
in no such device as that, it lies simply in iinnging
back the Government In its administration to ori
ginal tlrst principles. This is to be done
not by secession, however rightful and
efflclent a remedy that might be. That is
abandoned. Nor Is It to be done bv force or violence
of any klud, except the force of reason and power of
truth, it is to ue none, n at -an, at tne nauot-iinx.
Free institutions are more generally lost than esta
blished or strengthened by a resort to physical
force. They are eminently the achievement of vir
tue, patriotism, ami reason, 'mat our institutions,
ard even riomlnal form of government, is now in
great danger.the sagacious and wise everywhere vir
tually admit. An able editorial in your own paper
not long since put the pertinent and grave question,
'Whither are we drifting?' To this question I take
occasion for one to eive you a direct and positive
answer. We are drifting to consolidation and em
pire, and will lund tnere at no distant
period, as certainly as the sun will set this day, unless
the people of the several States awake to a proper
appreciation of the danger, mh save themselves
from the impending catnstrophe by arresting the
present tendency of public alt'airs. This they can
properly do onlv at the ballot-box. All the friends
of constitutional liberty, in every section and State,
must unite in this grand effort. They must seriously
consider, and even reconsider, many questions to
which they have given but slight
attention heretofore. They must acquaint
themselves with the principles of their
Government, and provide security for the future by
studying and correcting the errors of the past; this
is the only hope, as 1 have stated, for a continuance
of even our present nominal iorm oi government.
Depend upon it, there is no difference between con
solidation and enmlre. No difference between cen
tralism and imperialism. The end of either, as well
im ait of tliese. is the overthrow of liberty and the es
tablishment of despotism. I give you the words of
truth in great earnestness; worns wnicn.nowever re
ceived or heeded now, will bo rendered eternally
true by the developments oi tne iuture."
The President

Tlie New York .Honey Market.
From the Herald.
"The Money market was more active to-dav, and
f:ld Interest was paid In some rare aud exceptional
nstances. The demnnd was finite irregular, how
ever, and variously reported in different portions of
the street. While some were unable to (end at seven
per cent, st the close of banking hours, others found
difficulty In getting funds at that rate. Tho country
demnnd Is hardly large enough to create the present
activity, and hence the suspicion of artificial Influ
ences In connection with the stock murker. Com
mercial paper whs inactive and rates had a tendency
to a little wider range, the quotation being seven to
nine percent, for prime double mimes.
"Foreign exchange was active and higher at tho
close, the prime bankers advancing their rates to
KW.'v for sixty days and 110', for sight bills. Tho
demand for th-- steamer revealed a scarcity of bond
and commercial bills. Bond bills have boon entirely
absorbed, and the present equality of the quotation
for Five-twenties in Kumpe and this cjuntry pre
vents a further supply. The steadiness of gold is
opposed to a better supply of commercial bills.
"Governments were quiet and dull. At the open
ing there was some realization lu anticipation of
activity in money, but the buyers were uumerons
enough to prevent a decline of more than one-quarter
per cent, as compared with the closing prices of
yesterday. The London quotation coming 80'-, and
closing 80?4', the feeling In tho market Improved and
prices recovered their lost ground. The homc-lnvest-mcnt
demnnd for bonds is quite active and general,
as usual at this season of the year, and maintains
prices at figures which leave no margin for export. A
calculation will show that the quotation for 62's is
exactly the same in New York and London. The
market closed llrm, with a sudden advance npon the
noon quotations, based probably upon the London
mall news of an expected lowering of the English
discount rate. The following were the final street
prices: United States 6s, 1S.S1, registered, inrtfcnTit ;
do., coupon, 121 V12S ; dM Five-twenties, registered,
llOTstwilT's; do. do., coupon, 1SI12, 122S((t22! ; do.

gistered, lOS.VWllW?; do. do., coupon, 109.i109X ;
currency bonds, lP(V"4'ai07.
"The gold market was strong, with an advance on
extreme quotations from i:t8?i to 139. The rise was
due to the tinner tone of the foreign exchanges, and
particularly to the rate for sight sterling, which is
within a very small fraction of the specie shipping;
point. The better quotation for bonds in London re
sisted this advance, but ineffectually, as the home
market for Governments also improved anil left no
margin between the domestic and foreign quotation
on which to make bond bills.
"The demand for cash gold was quite fair np to
Clearing Bouse lime, and the rate for carrying,
ranged from seven to five per cent. In the after
neon the highest paid forcarr.ving was four per cent,
while a single transaction was recorded at flat.'
