The numbers congregating at the City Convention were many, and the body of the hall was pretty well filled: the gathering, how ever, decreased when the temporary president required the withdrawal of all persons who were not delegates, At a quarter paHt ten o'clock the delegates were called to order by William R. Leeds, Ksq., Chairman of the Republican Executive Com mittee. Older being restored, the Chairman appointed as temporary Secretaries John L. Hill aud Jo seph 8.

The business then in order was the reception Of the credentials of the delegates of the dlll'e rent precincts In tbe various wards. The mem bers of the Convention.no doubt, considering this part of the proceedings as of no particular Import, kept up a running tire of Individual nominations, and the usual amount of loud talk, amid which tbe chairman's voice could barely be distinguished.

Haines, Wm. R. Blnck.and Major Osoar Roberts. The report was adopted. Mr. Bull, nnon taking the chair, said : Gentlemen of the Convention We are here as the representa'lves of the Itepuhllcan party ot the cltyot Philadelphia, usRtmbled In Judicial Convention to make ajudlclal nomination. I have no reason to believe that there Is any gentle man In tbls Convention who Intends to propose the name of another to be voted for, than that of a repre sentstlve ot tbls body. (Aiplaose.) Did I think so, I might deem It my doty to caution you, at tbls time above all others, ot the great danger thatencoiu-pai-nea the Integrity of the great Republican organ I Estlon throughout the Union. No one well-wisher of bis country, no sincere loyal man in this Union, hut could bave shed tears tuts uio-uing while reading the news from WashliiKton. Gentlemen, we bave been betrayed. Tbe great perly wblch has sustained It-elf through ths most causeless and Iniquitous rebellion that ever disgraced the earth or shook high heaven, has been betrayed by him In whom they reposed the highest ronlldence. Let us not then, In this connection, do Injustice to thoxe who sent us here by nominating any man of doubtful position through tbe late war or at the pre sent day. We can and will elect our candidate, let bim be who he may. The Republican party of the city cf Philadelphia are In tbe majority a few thousand, and they are not gnlng to yield npon the pretense that no man can be found In tuelr organization lit to fill tbe position of Associate Judire ot tbe Court of Common Pleas. It Is an insult to the Republican members of tbe Bar and to thecon stltuency of the delegates present to say that there Is but one man (and that we must go Into another party to And him) At to till that olllce. I ask you to-day la your deliberations to be governed by the action that has heretofore governed all Judicial conventions. 1 see before me one or two who, sixteen years ago, sat with me In the first Judicial Convention tbat assembled in tbls county, when I, in connection wlta the late lamented ex-Alderman and ex-Sherllf Jobn Thompson (who was a friend to you, and me, and everybody), never thought of putting In nomination any one but a Republican. Wby should we do so now T We are not here to discuss the merits of any man or set of men, and I shall uot do so. I bave ths high est respect tor the geutleman of whom some bave spuken highly, and w hose frleuds held a town-meet ing jesieroay to enaorse mm. 13 it because a man does only that duty that he swears to perform that be Is to be upheld and lauded, and the organization oi this great Republican party that bas more at siaae tuan tne support or any one man is that to be frittered away for such a purpose? Tbat Is not all. If the members of tbls Convention do not do the r duty I think there is no danger but that they wll' and a Democrat should be elected to nil ine vacancy on mis Dencn ana tbe bench of the Supreme Court, It will be considered as tbe first light In the great battle of 18118 for the Presi dency, end the Democratic party will claim it as a triumph, no matter how many weak-kneed Republi cans may have been led Into Us support, (Applause) Vox popull vox Dal Is the motto or tbe Democratic leadeis. Tbey snow tbat unless tbey succeed In divi ding us they have no hope of success. Thanking you tor your attention, and for the honor conferred upon me, I declare this Convention now organized for business. Leonard Fletcher then offered the following pre amble and resolution: H hrreas, Tbe recent attempts of Andrew Jobsson. President of tbe United (States, to reinstate la tbeir former condition and power the Rebels who attempted to subvert the principles of tbe Republican party; giving them all the rights and privileges which tney lormerly enjoyed, forgetting that tbelr treasonable acts destroyed tbe lives of hundreds of thousand of patriots who fell in defense of their country, conclu sively shows tbat It is tbe duly or the Republican parly to maintain Its principles In full vigor, which can only be effected by tbe pure and zealous support or those wbo openly espouse tnose principles; there fore be It liesolved. Tbat the convention Deneve it to be their duty to nominate only such persons for its candidates as have beeu openly, avowedly ud fully Identified in ail tne principles oi the Republican party. Resolved, That we nereoy pieage our nnitea and individual support to the nominee of this Convention. (Applause.) The preamble and resolutions were unanimously aaopteu. It was resolved that tne convention go into nomination for Assoolate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. James K. Flndley. Esq., Hon. M. Russell Thayer ana tienry l. iving were then nominated. A motion was maae oy some one to nominate toe lion. M. Russell Thayer by acclamation. Several gentlemen stated tbat It was not in accord ance with tbe rules of the Republican party. A motion to proceed to nauot was wituorawn. Rwani motions were then made to adjourn, and numerous amendments were made amid great nelse and contusion. None of thein prevailed. General Joshua T. Owens then asked leave of tbe Convention to read a letter from Hon. 1. Russell Thayer. Permission was given him, and be proceeded to read It, as follows: FHlLADBLPHlA, AUgUBtz, lOir.-ueunrnijuDiiuB a. Owen Dear Bin Information which I bave rtcelved Induces me to believe tbat an erroneous Impression exists In tbe minds of some of tbe delegates to tbe Republican Judicial convention mat i win oeacanai iia hufnr. the tkinventlon for the nomination for tbe cilice ot Jndgsot the Court of Cammon Pleas. - I nave, wnanever appealed to tor iniuriuauuu, um fnrmiid to mv friends, including several members of the Convention, tbat I did not desire to be a candi date tor tbe position referred to. While I esteem it an bonor to bave my name associated with an ottlcial situation so Honorable ana so responsioia in cuar ier, and while I return my sincere thanks to my friends, in tbe Convention and out of it. who are desirous oi supporting me as a candidate, I beg leave to stale tbat reasons exist which I need not now particularly refer to, but which ars In themselves satisfactory to my own mind, led me to tbe conclusion that I must de cline being a candidate for the nomination. If my name, therelore, sbould be placed before tbe Conven tion, I respectfully request tbat you will withdraw It, communicating at the same lime my conclusion and mis letter to tne convention, la uuiug to is x ueg leave to repeat tbat I am fully sensible of tbe honor wblcn IS implied in Deiog a canuiuate or tne sepuo Ilcan party for such a position, and I return my warm est thanks to all my friends wbo desire to confer upon me the nomination. In order to avoid any possible misconstruction or any misapprehension of my own views aud position , I dtsire to add that. If 1 may be allowed to do so, In my opinion the Convention should nominate a candidate who, while in ail respects qualified, shall be. In bis opinions ana in nis me, a true representa tive or the gr at principles oi tne nepuoucan party. Bv the nomination ol a candidate bostile to their principles tbey wenld.ln my Judgment, abandon our true position, Inflict a severe Injury on tha Republi can party, and put In Jeopardy the Integrity of Its organization and the triumph ot tha principles for wblch It Is struggling. If these principles are lo be maintained, ir lliey are wuriuy ui uio great name wblch baa been fought to secure tbelr ascendancy, it Is desirable to perpetuate them now for tbe admin- l.lrullnn tt tha (I O V 6 r U 111 C D t . it WOUld DO.

After tbe excitement of yesterday npon Cabi net matters there is a calm to-day, and matters are dull. Only a few visitors are at tbe White House, and among them none of distinction. The Cabinet Troubles. The JVdffortal Intelligencer to-day says: "We bave high authority for saylngUhat tbe Ioobb and sensational rumors which were circulated and which were reflected lu some degree in the papers ot last evening, about troubles In the Cabinet yesterday, are unfounded. Tbe fact of one member of the Cabinet retiring before the other, must naturally be of frequent occurrence. That General Grant came out ot the White House some time before the other gentlemen yesterday, wus to be ascribed to bis business habits, rather than to any far-fetohed and imaginary cause, wheu the session was Erotraoted till towards the cloje of the business ours of tbe day From Boston. Boston, August 28. In tbe United States Cir cuit Court yesterday there was a lengthy argu ment on tbe motion of the counsel of Julius V. Hartwell, late Teller In the United Slates Treasurer's oflloe, who is charged with embez zling publlo moneys by loaning them to the State street firm of Meller, Ward dt Co. The principal ground taken by the counsel for the defense was that Hartwell was not. in the meaning of tbe law, an officer charged with tbe keeping and disbursement of public moneys. The Court overruled the motion, and Hartwell was arraigned, and pleaded not guilty. Chief J ustice Chase was present during a portion of tne ueunug. The Health of Secretary Browning. lng attended a Cabinet meeting yesterday, but notuaving iuiiy recovered irom nis sickness, tbls premature attention to business has attain compelled bim to keep his bed.

We have been favored by William B. Elliott, Esq. Assessor of the Third District, Pennsylvania, with the following decision of the internal Revenue Department In reference to "Paste board, or Card board." The act of June 30, 1884, Imposed on paper Of all descriptions, including pasteboard, binders' board, and tarred paper for rooting and other purposes, a tax of three per cent. Tne act of July 13, lHoO, exempted tarred paper for roofing purposes, and printing paper of all descriptions. The same act Imposed on pa per not otherwise herein provided for a tax of three per cent., making no mention of paste board, or binders' board. The act of March 2, 1867, extended the exemp tion, and included binders' board, but neither exempts pasteboard or cardboard, nor specially provides lor taxing them. Pasteboard, if not specially exempted, must be taxable, and If not specially provided for it tmiBt be taxed under tbe general provisions of the ninety-fourth section. It Is, therefore, clear that pasteboard, or cardboard, being neither specially provided for nor exempt, is liable, under tbe ceneral provision of the ninety fourth section, to a tax of five per centum, ad valorem.
