We observo tliat when business Anna full, the partners nre nover nble te tell hew Uiey stand Just as when banks suspend payment their ouicere nre never able te Rive n prompt statement of their condition. In banks tlie treuble be often springs from tlie rascality of officer, who run away, and who have lecked up the books te conceal their transactions that tlie Ignorance et theso they left in the lurch behind them, is net surprising. But why should net thopartners in bus! ness firms tnnt re te pieces, without the fraud et anyone who has run away, be cefjulzant of thelr preclse condition 'i If they are net it is net surprising that their business lias beeu unsucccs.il ul, alnce It Indicates a carelcssness of man agement calculated te make it se. Our text just new Is taken upon the occaslenofthopresentfailuro of Warner & Merrltt, In rhiladelphin, the largest fruit Importing heuse In tlie country, and seme smaller concerns. The part ners pretest te the reparters that they de net knew hew they stand. We think It most prebablu that this ignorance Is feigned ; and that the reporters are net told the truth, probably because It is net thought te be auy of thelr business, and because the confession el a disastrous failure is a humiliating one te make. There may b?, nud often Is, a reason for professed ignorauce in the fact that the failure would 1)6 seen te be a fraudulent one, If the partners confessed that they were doing business when they knew that their liabilities were greattr than their assets. It teems te us that the common practice of continuing business, when these engaged in It knew their insolvency, needs te be checked by an nroused public sentiment and stringent legislation. Hew much honesty 13 there lu holding oneself out te the world as solvent, ami obtaining credit which would net be get if the facts were known V There is none at all. It is a clear case of obtaining money under false pretenses, and is punishable as such. It is surprising that the law is net eftrner Invoked te punish such practices, that have become common by their immunity. The pretence of ignorance is used success fully te cloak the rascality ; and men who have beeu conducting great businesses confess themselves feels te escape tlie punishment of knaves. It is a transparent devlce which should net avail them. If cheating failures were punished, honest failures would be few The rascality of Grant & Ward's busi ness, opening up be much general ras cality in business, has resulted in our present depression. With honest meth ods there is no need ever in this growing country for business stagnation. ISet a Deubtlul State." Tne announcement that had gene out, of serious factional troubles among the Democracy of New Jersey and the alien alien of many of the party leaders from tlie organization this year, is effectually contradicted by the proceedings of the state convention yesterday. Called at n very het season, only te name electors, It attracted a full attendance, and its makeup was a most marked contrast te that of the " spiritless gathering " re cently assembled by the Republicans for a like purpose. The spectacle of Gen. McClellan presiding is scarcely a less vivid contrast witli that of the notorious P.mgberne, the ex-revenue collector from .Jersey City, who " r.m " the late Republican ceremony. HuUvcen the two men there is all the difference of a gallant soldier aud eminent citizen and a notorious and disreputable party hack. Gen. McClellan's speech was a terse, vigorous and graphic statement of the issues of the pending struggle, and the satisfaction with which It was received will command wlde aud respectful attention from the thousands of Repub lican soldiers and citizens who admire and trust him. Gov. Abbett's appear ance and speech before the contention, ex Senater Stockton's presence, and Senater Mcl'hersen's telegram were suillcient answer te the repeit that these nud ether distinguished leaders of the New Jersey Democracy would give less than their eutite energies te the geed causa this year. New Jersey has only once since lNd given any of her electoral vote te a Ro Re publlcau candidate for president. She will net make any nuv departure this year. Tiik Philadelphia limca and the ..Yen.' Era are having a discussion as te the propriety of denouncing JJlnlue for his libel suit. The JVcic Era appears pro foundly convinced that the Tunis Is deeply wrong In attributing te Mr. Rlalne auytliing but .the loftiest motives and the highest sensibilities in Hying te the law te defend the honor of his fam ily. The Times, which has a habit of preresslug ita belief that tlie Jfcie Era cau be Benalble when It wants te be, as sumes te buliove that It Is really indig nant with it for iutlmatlng that Dlaine'a motives were anything but lefty, and his action anything but wise, in suing the Indianapolis paper, after forgiving tlie Kansas paper and the Chicago paper i and auing tee, for money damages in tlie Unlted States court. It is quite amus ing te sea the bowing aud scraping with which the Times comes up te the blus tering New Era and hopes itwlll believe It te be really sincere when It professes that it is friendship wounds it deals upon Mr. Ulalne. The Times seems of late te be somewhat unsteady in ita steering, but we really never thought it would get ae far as te preress that its blows at Rlalne were friendship's. Frem such Mr. li. may justly ask te be ex cused. We have no particular interest in the newspaper parley te which we rcrer; uut we mink It might be Im proved by a little mere et tlie hammer nod tongs Btyle. Tun Democrats of Dauphtn county have made a wise selection in the nomi nation of Mr. Henry 0. McCermlck for the Senate against the " Thompson with n 'Pi'" who recently defeated Andrew Jackseu Herr for the aonaterul nomination. The district is strongly Republican, but Thompson la excep tleually weak and McCermlck is ex ceptienally strong. In the cengres stennl canvass of 1872 he carried Dauphin by 1-19 majority, and Micro Is no reason why he should net de it this year. The gain of a Democratic senator from the rifleenth would be a great gain Ut the state. Mi:. Hkn'mucks shows himself te be the " wise politician" which the New Yerk 7Vi'Iriaic has declared him te be. He does net inflict a long letter upon ttie Miffcriug public in het weather, became what he might have te say he tlnds in the platform of his party, or has alre.ulj embodied in a previous letter of this kind With becoming modesty and dig nity he accepts the position tendered hlni because It comes with the geed will of his party ; but If the Republicans think he has no opinions en tlie ques tions which enter Inte the campaign, they need only possess theli souls in pa tience until he makes his " opening speech" In Indiana. S'leuld any et them theudesire te grapple with htm, they will doubtless be accommodated as cheerfully as waa Mr. Garfield In lm, or Dill t'iiatidler a few weeks age.

At the ringing of the church bell they formed in line aud, pacing out tu'e Sum mer street and down Eighteenth, entered the cathedral by the main doorway. Archbishop Ryan, in glittering petittliclal, jolued them. First walked a noero of acolytes in soirlet seutanes and capes and laee surplices; then canie the priests, co eular and regular, and tint representatives of tlie ruale religious orders. The vcuer able Monsignor Corcoran in purple, nt tended by the Rev. Hugh Line, of St. ThetOia's, was the first of the timber cletgy. Rotund these were Bishop ()' Cenner, of Omaha, attended by the Rev.

As the piocesAien entered the flist netn of lladyn's majestic Te Deum burst from the choir. The line of clerics and religious passed up the cetitre aisle and into the sanctuary, dividing at the feet and flowing te each Mile of the high altar. The assist ing prelates were given elevated chairs. Vicar General Walsh went te the altar while the metropolitan, his uiure laid aside, knelt nud the ether clerics also loll upon their knees. As the voices of the choir died away Father Walsh iuteued the prayer for the protection of the church and the clerical choir responded. The metro politan arose, resumed his mltru ani asreuded the high throne, canopied in yellow damask ou the gospel side of tin sanctuary.

Next came Father Laue, of St. Theresa's, aud kissed the rim; ami received the cpsicepal benediction. After him, ene by one, all the pnestd did homage te their great pastor. The archbishop deceuded then te the feet of the altar and, in a reseuaut, far-reaching voice, chanted a veisicle from lhe Pontificate, lhe choir el priests responding. He intoned the pr.ajer of the patrons of the church of St. Petcr aud St. Paul and invoked their protection and aid. When the prayer bad euded he blessed the thru ( if kneeling ecelesi wtica and laity, and .he ceremonies of the installation proper were tiuished.
