A motion of adjournment to this morning
was then deolared as carried, by the President,
to the Intense disgust of several delegates, who
vented their chagrin by vaulting over the
settees towards the platform, crying "Foul," as
they vaulted. The President succeeded la
effecting his escape by the rear of the hall.
'J he County Convention reassembled at 10
o'clock this morning, m Washington nan, at
the southwest corner of Eighth and Spring
President Armbruster called the Convention
to order.
Captain Charles F. MoGuire said: Mr. Presi
dent, before proceeding to ballot for Register of
Wills, 1 desire to call the attention of the Con
vention to a mistake which was made yester
day in nominating a gentleman for Vice-President
of this Convention wno bas no credentials,
and la, therefore, not a member of this body. I
refer to colonel William G. Morcuead, who
commanded, the 106ih Regiment of Pennsyl
vania Volunteers. Two years ago he was not
Identified with the Democratic party.
The only objeet I have in making thla state
ment is this: I am assured that Colonel More
head, after the Convention adjourns, will de
nounce its proceedings. I hope the gentlemen
will elect one to the vacant position who la a
member of this body. ...
William P. Chander was then nominated and
elected Vise-President, he being the gentleman
who was mistaken for Colonel Morehead, their
personal appearance being very similar .
On motion of John Campbell, a committee of
five was appointed by the chair, to eject all
those who were not members of the Conven
tion, and to keep the members In their seats.
The following letter was then read from James
s.r 1 rt f Mir
Philadelphia. Sept. 8, 1M7.-TO the President and
members of the Democratic County Convention,
u..un.un 17 all OvnLlninen: Desirinc. as I sin

the expediency In view ot the action ot tbe Republi

soldier whose record ft unassailable. . tn
I tender my most sincere and heartfelt than us to
the many friends who have pledged me their sup

iNTFEHAt DisflFNSioNa. The Democratic
Renatorlal Convention, it will be remembered,
was beld at Ladner's Military Hall yester
day. Of the peace within the bounds of the
Convention we speak not, but the soenes with
out merit a notice. Large crowds, constituents
and dogmatic adherents to certain candidates,
gathered In the bar-room upon the stairs,
ontll they groaned beneath the Demooratlc
weight and In the streets. Now, the de
meanor of such a concourse, where virulent
opinions, obstinacy even to physical demon
stration, and drink were commingled, can bet
ter be imagined than described. Nevertheless,
It should be recorded that the concourse was
rampant. No sooner did an enthusiastic con
stituent elevate himself, and expatiate fully
upon the merits of his particular favorite, than
be was brought low, or bad to seek shelter from
the attaoks of an antagonist. Quarrelling,
shooting, punoblng raged ouUlde, while within
the bar room the turmoil was lndesorlbable.
The panels of tbe heavy door leading into the
Convention were smashed through by vehe
ment kloko, and spirited Individuals attempted
to get within ear-shot. If not within the hall
Itself. Excitement increased, wrath predomi
nated, and trouble generally ensued, when the
Froprletor of the hall sent word to the Heventh
olice Station for olilcers to protect bis pro
perty, which was nearlng speedy demolition.
Sergeant Murray, with a corps of offioers, after
much resistance, quelled, to some extent, the
disturbance, and arrested twelve evil-disposed
persons, who were held to keep the peace.
Stabbing Affray in Camden. Last evening
two men indulged In a quarrel at Fourth street
and Bridge avenue. Their names are BlJlon
' Mitchell and James Durkln. They are brothers-in-law.
What originated the melee can
not be definitely ascertained. It is supposed to
have been a family affair. Durkln was sitting
on a step; Mitchell came up and said something
to bim in regard to fighting. A souffle ensued,
during the course of which the aggressor was
seen to drop a knife. It was plokedupbya
bystander; and at the urgent request of the
owner it was handed to him. Shortly after he
made another attack on Durkin, and when
separated by the policemen It was discovered
that Durkln had received a stab In the left side,
directly in the region of the heart. The wound
was Inflicted with tbe large blade of an ordi
nary pocket-knife, and is not very dangerous,
although causing considerable pain. Fortu
nately the knife took an oblique direction, and
did not penetrate more than half an Inch; had
it gone straight, there is no doubt but that
Durkln would have been a corpse this morn
ing. Policeman Owens arrested Mitchell, and
a hearing took place before Mayor Cox, whloh
resulted in tbe binding over of the defendant to
answer at Court.
A Shooting Affair in thb Northern Part
of tub City. The political excitement aud
antagonism were not confined to tho Imme
diate precincts of the various Johnsonian Con
ventions yesterday, bnt the discontented dele
gatesno doubt Irritated beyond forbearance
with failure, resulting from their too enthusi
astic efforts carried their wrath embosomed
until at some favorable opportunity they could
vent It unsparingly upon their more success ul
brethren. Thus it happened that at American
street and Columbia avenue two men met, who,
far from being prudent or cool-beaded, were
soon Involved in the intricacies and troubles of
a partisan discussion. It Is aald that about 0
o'clock last evenlns thev attain met. and still
disagreeing, one of them, Hugh Boyle, aged
thirty-eight, drew a revolver, and fired it twice
at his opposing friend, Thomas Clary. One of
the shots passed through Clary's coat-sleeve,
while the other entered bis left forearm, frao
luring tbe bone. The wounded man was taken
toSt. Mary's Hospital, at Frankford road and
Palmer street. Boyle was arrested by Officer
Pollock, and taken before Alderman Heins,
and was committed for a farther hearing.
Brevitiks. A dense fog covered the river
this morning. A muslcul change hath oc
curred; instead ot warblings of beautifully
plumed songsters, we now have the discordant
buzzing of innumerable locusts In our parks.
Men walk into eternity quickly when they
step off from the wharves Into the river. All
attempts for the restoration of order in the
Democrat! cCity and County Conventions yester
day proved abortive. Harmony did aot percb
Itself within the Johnsonian precincts of either
Washington or the National Guards' Hall.
The gullibility of man is amazing witness the
daily swindles. All the educational institu
tions of this city are now in full operation. The
disparaging comments on the multiplicity of
studies eniorcea on tne siuuenw in some oi our
hiuber schools are many. Great preparations
are being made to receive Bishop Wood on his
return. The weather was pleasant this morn
ing, notwithstanding the shadowy clouds and
lack of sunshine. The main culvert at Thirty
third and Market streets caved In yesterday,
making a deep ana aangerous pitiaii.
Threatening to Kill. John Jenkins, forty
years old, and married, became, it is said, Intoxi
cated vesterdav. In the afternoon he returned
to bis residence, No. 912 Coates street, and to
entertain bimseii commenced the partial demo

"hard drink" conquered. He was arrested, ana

House Entered. On Monday night the
dwelling of Mr. Freedly. at Nineteenth and
Sansom streets, was entered by burglars, who

door larue enough to admit an Individual,
About 10 o'clock a servant girl of the house op
posite cried out that the bouse was being
robbed. No notice was taken of this, and soon
after a wngon drove np, a man got out of the
dininit-room window, and with au accomplice
Jumped into the vehicle, and drove off. The
lamny were at me time.
Rioting. Patrick Murphy and Michael
Mohan, having lately been Involved in a family

that tine latter had oom milled an unprovoked

"Amy" waa sailing on the high seaa on the
eleventh day of August last, when the mat
called upon Boylan to help tack the ship, and
before the latter could comply be was struck
twloe. knocked down, and then be allege was
brutally kicked, bis teeth virtually being gent
crashing down bis throat bv a blow.
Tbe case came up for Investigation before
CommlsHloner Hlbler. But by tbe curious law
or Congress, whioh holds that an assault on the
high seas is not an assault, unless a dangerous
weapon is used, thereby allowing a sailor to be
mauled nnoeaaingly with a clenched fist, the
defendant waa discharged, and left rejoicing.
A Man Brutally Beaten. Last evening
Charles Blanla was In the bar-room of bis
father'! tavern, at the oorner of Wood and
Levering streets. While there three Germans
entered, bearing the one surname of Sohmldt,
and, wrangling about their drinks, commenced
an assault on lilanis. He was knocked down,
and while in a prostrate position he was fright
fully beaten by the three men with heavy boor
mugs. His bead presented a fearful appear
ance, being covered with cuts and abraxions,
and he was discovered, long after the aasailants
bad made their escape, In a very dangerous con

Growing Reputation. If the entire corres
pondence from South America, Central Ame
rica, and the West Indies, received by Messrs.
Hostetter & Smith during the last twelve
months, were published at length, it would
probably be oonsldered one of the most extra
ordinary collections of approbatory testimony
on record. The letters, written in every variety
of style, and emanating from Individuals of
almost every class, are, nevertheless, all of the
same tenor. Physicians, priests, merchants,
planters, military officers, artl-sans, lawyers,
etc., tell one story, admitting, without reserve
or qualification, that the tonics heretofore In
use in those regions have been generally and
justly superseded by Hostettek's Bitters.
Tbe confidence manifested by the people of
these countries might be fairly ca'.led enthusi
astic. Yet these are not the only tokens of the
growing popularity of
HOSTETTEK'S STOMACH BITTERS.
The foreign orders for the article from Europe,
Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, East
Indies, Cape of Good Hope, Sandwich Islands,
etc., have been heavier than at any former
period.
As an antidote to malaria, a stomachie, and

"Spring it Is cheery,
Winter is dreary,
Green leaves bang, but the brown must fly;
When be Is shaken,
Lone and forsaken,
What ean aa old man do but die?"
Wby, lake Plantation Bitters, to be sure, and
with them a new lease of life. The old are made
young again, the middle-aged rejoice, and the
young become doubly brilliant by using this
splendid Tonic. Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Liver
Complaint, Headache, Pains In tbe Side, "Crick
In the Back," and all symptoms of Stomachic
Derangement yield at once to tbe health-giving
Influence of Plantation Bitters. They add
streagth to tbe system and buoyancy to the
mind.

A Few Words about Helm hold's Extract
Btjchu. It is not often that we feel ourselves
called upon to elve eclat to a "patent medicine,"
but the fact that "Jlelmbold't Extract Buchu"
stares us in the lace from the columns of nearly
every leuaing journal inrougnont the country
entities it to a nearing. upon inquiring ol a
number of our most respectable citizens and
physicians, who despise anything likeauackerv.
we find that HelmbolU'a Extract Buchu is telling
Us own story to inousanas in every accessible
Dart or tne union, ana neyona ll. xne indu
bitable evidence afforded us that it is not a nos
trum, but an invaluable medicine, compounded
irom vegetame suDsiances purely, upon tne
highest principles of chemical and medical
science, first drew our attention to
Us merits: and from the statements made to
us by gentlemen in this oily and elsewbore,
whose testimony ia of the highest character. we
are free to admit that Helmbold's Extract Buchu,
is worthy of all the prominence U Is receiving.
1Lrn.avWe.w mm.A aA M.nln that l. niinn.lAnnl
use would be of Invaluable service to the health
of every household, as It Is not only tbe most
enectuai apecinc mown in materia meaica, in
the diseases Of the kidneys, madder, and other
internal organs to which young and old of
both sexes are liable, but Its effect upon the
general neaitn oi au wno try u is apparent.
and. In many cases, surprising. It lncreasos
tne power oi digestion, ana excites the absoro-
ents into healthy action, thereby reducing all
unnatural enlargements, and removing local
pains ana lnuammation. we oeueve. upon
tbe whole, that a more health-promoting and
universally desirable medicine has never been
given to the public than Helmbold's Extract
jiuchu, and ir, by the strong terms of commen
dation nere Destowea upon it, we shall have
promoted Us more general adoption as the fore
most family medicine of the age. it will be a
real servioe to the community. The advertise

By a perusal of one of the pamphlets of the
Washington Library Company, organized In
aid of the Klverslde Institute, we see that
among tba presenU to be distributed among
those who purchase stook in aid of this deserv
ing charity there are nearly four hundred valued

the snug fortune of 110,000. The stock, It will be
remembered, ia sold at tl per share, the pur
chaser taking his choice from a collection of
eight steel-plate engravings, all of whloh are of
the finest finish and workmanship. On the
twenty-fifth of this month, when the distribu

each share of stock will guarantee one present;

is a most liberal one, and as tbe proceeds are

Philadklphia. July is ism.
Borne eighteen months since, I was a severe s'urlerar
from dyspepsia. I was not only unable to take miln
food without suffering great distress, but had becnm?
so debilitated as to be almost unfitted lor acUvebuat.
nes of any kind. uiw
After trying a variety of so-called remedies, all of
which proved worthless, I was induced, at the aui
gestionot a medical Irlend, to give Hoofland's Gar.
man Bitters a trial, I accordingly purchased sii
bottles, which were taken In auoordauce with yon,
directions.
Ttie result was a oompiete removal of all distress
ing symptoms alter eating or drinking, and a full
restoration ot streugth, so that I now eat all ordinarv
kinds of food with Impunity, and am able to attend
to all the active duties of a large and arduous busi
ness as well as at any period of my Jife: tbe good
efiecta of the Bitters were manifested before I had
taken the first bottle.
I bave also used It In my family with the bappies
results, and take great pleasure In adding my testi
mony to that of the many others who bave been
benefited by It. I find great benefit from the use of a
bottle in the spring and fall. Tbey not only create a
vigorous appetite, but give a healthy tone to ths
stomach by strengthening its digestive powers.
If the above testimony wul be the means otiuduclng
any who suffer from Dyspepsia to give your Bittern a
trial (when It, I feel confident, will give them relletl
