Ueneral Peter Lyle's Speech.
The following 1 a true copy of General Lyle's
speech to the Convention that nominated him,
a reported by Mr. McAran, a well-known pro
fessional phonographio reporter, and worn to
by blm as being oorreot In every particular:
"Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention:
I have to mi one grace of you, sod tbat Is not to ask
iue to make a speech. 1 can work, but I cannot talk;
but I cau say that I owe this Convention a debt of
gratitude that I never can pay. This is, I think, the
first time In the history of tbe party where they have
given tbe nomination twice by acclamation as they
have Riven me. The work, gentlemen, Is Just com
menced. This Is the commencement of It. Let us
Canvass our precincts and Mtop this colonization. Offi
cers of election, where we are In the minority, should
attend the meeting; and the Return Judge, where
we have one, should attend the meeting next
morning, for there Is where tbe damage Is done,
particularly where we are In the minority.
If we stop this cheating, the lowest man on
oar tloket will be elected by from 6000 to 8000 ma
jority. I have travelled the county over for the last
tbree months. I have met many people in the can
vass. I have seen and convened with many people,
and I have failed yet to meet the first man who does
not know from one to twenty who have changed their
opinions from last year, li'e were not beaten last yearm
I was NOT SRATRN. I WAS ELECTED BY A
HANDSOME MAJORITY; but I was counted out.
Tbe right way Is not to let those rascals do It again.
I can do no more than thank you from my heart for
the position In which you have placed me. I wll1
leave nothing undone for the success of the ticket.''

League Island.
The lollowlng la a letter of Joseph N. Peirsol,
lemcciallo candidate for City Treasurer, to a
member of the U. 8. Benate:
Pnii.ADKi.rniA, June 23, 1801
Sir: I take tbe flberty of addressing you
. npon the subject of tbe proposed location of the
United WtateH Navy Yard at League Island. I
bare been Informed, aud I believe, League
Island has been wholly reclaimed from the
river Delaware, and is only prevented from
overflow by large banks or stone and earth. It
la surrounded, except npon one side, by a marsh,
and for this cause, aa well as from Insalubrity,
It bas been unimproved and unoccupied, except
as pasture land, at a moderate rent, since its
reclamation. Tbe fast land is from six to eight
feet below high-water mark at all points, and
would cost over a million dollars to level and
fit for use aa much as will be required for the
large purposes projected.
If the object Is to erect foundries, the spongy
nature of the soil would make it lmno.Hsible to
get a proper foundation for tbe buildings except
at a great cost, nor could a well of sulllcient
depth be dug for large castings. It could not
cost less than two or three million dollars in
ahip-houses, dry-docks, and other structures
now in the old yard, which would bave to be
abandoned. Tlius the gift of the Island would be
dear, and still dearer if 82,000,000 were added to
the gift towards fitting it for use. Most of the
ship carpenters employed in the yard now
reside in Kensington, nearly eight miles dis
tant from the Island, where they would con
tinue, as Government work is not sufficiently
regular or remunerative to Induce a permanent
removal. The Island is at least live miles from
the supply stores of the city. The approaches
are as low as the Island itself, and unfit for
building purposes, and far distant from
hydrants, gas, Improved streets, police and rail
roads. The place hie only to be visited and seen to de
monstrate its unfitness, and I would humbly
suggest a visit by a committee of Congress for
the purpose, before so great an outlay is in
curred or promised, where performance is im
possible. There are minor objections, wbloh I
will not urge. I am as earnest as any Phila
delphiau in the desire of tbe location of a ttrst
olass yard, but it Is my duty, impelled by the
same feelings wbloh you have, to state to you,
as a public man, it will cost at least four million
qollars to fit League Island for the least effi
ciency as compared with tbe preseut yard. If
you add foundries, etc., that will be an addi
tional expense, which I will not undertake to
estimate.
The present yard may be extended for about tivo
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and provide
all the ground necessary now and hereafter with
out disturbance or delay. 1 am ready to give fur
ther Information. Being personally unknown
to you, I reler you to any of t he Philadelphia
delegation of the House to be assured who I am.

A Dangebotjs Season. An almost unparalleled
quantity of rain has fallen during tbe summer. Vege
tation has been wonderfully thick and rank, and, as
it decays, an unusual amount of sickness may be ex
pected unless proper menus are taken to prevent 1U
Fever and ague aud billons remittents already pre
vail to an alarming extent, and as tbe Fall advances
and tbe malarious night fogs become heavier, the sick
list Is likely to Increase both In the city and the coun
try. It Is, therefore, only an act of common prudenoe
to keep the vital forces In full vigor, so that they may
resist the unhealthy Influences of the season. Rein
forced by tbe tonio operation of HOSTETTER'S STO'
MACII BITTERS, the system, however weak and
Susceptible, naturally will, In nine cases out of ten,
successfully combat every species of atmospherlo
poison by which epidemics are produced.
During the months of September October, and No
vember the difference In temperature between Bay
sight Is very great, and the chilling dews and mists of
the season are the prolific causes of Indigestion
Cholera-morbus, diarrhoea, and dysentery. Bearing
this in mind, remember, also, tbat the BITTERS not
only invigorate the stomach and brace the nerves, but
met specifically upon the bowels and the liver, imparting to
those Important organs regularity and tone. It is not
reasonable to expect Immunity from prevalent com
plaints if no precautions are taken to escape them,
HOSTETTER'B BITTERS are at once pleasant to
tbe taste, and the mot certain oi all safeguards
agalust lebrile ailments.

Irons. Hie flames originated In the third s ory of the
f parlous building owned by the Butchers' Hide Asso
ciatlop, on Noble street, above Eleventh, at about
ball-past three o'clock, and burned with great rapid
ity. The building was a commodious and substantial
brick one, and was occupied by different persons.
Owing to tiie imflammable nature of some ol the arti
cles iu the upper portion, the flames made rapid pro
gress, and the total loss on that and the neighboring
bulldlPKi and their lurnllure will probably not fall
Short of 15,ihki.
CI he first floor above was occupied by the Butchers'
Hide Association, for curing bides. The damage In
flicted upon their stores was slight, and consisted
rirlnelpally in the salt which was wssbed away by
he water thrown upon tbe flames. They bad no In
surance on this. But thsy sustain quite a large loss
on the building, the roof and loft, or fourth story,
being entirely destroyed. They have an insurance of
I40U0 In the Franklin, which will about coyer tbe
damage to the building.
The serond and third stories and loft were occu-
1led by Mr. Ellas Dickens, and in them was stored a
arge quantity of cotton and woollen machinery ol
all kinds. The contents of the loll were entirely de
stroyed by the flames, the machinery In the second
and tbiiu stories bIho suOerlng considerable damage
by water. It will be Impossible to discover the etact
loss upon the machinery lorsome days, as the portion
which escaped the flames will bave to be burnished
up btfore its present value can be ascertained, but it
will amonnt tofroni 87NH) to lio.OOO. The insurance on
tbe mucblnery amounted to li.ooo, and is distributed
among the following Companies; Koyal, tll.OiiO;
Olrard. fcitKiO: Delaware Mutual, linnfl; Union Mutual,
I&MH); Pho'oix, 9500 A large quantity or army cloth
cuttings la bales had been stored in tbe third story,
serving to feed tbe flames, and coming out of the lire
entirely ruined.
The large four-story building adjoining tbe one In
which the fire originated, sustained a slight damage
in the roof. It is owned by Colonel William B.
Thomas, and occupied by Messrs. Pennypacker t
Bowen, coopers.
Thewlnrlwas blowing strongly from the west at
the time or the Ore, all tbe bouses on the west side of
F.leveulh street, between Division and Noble, sus
taining considerable Injury In consequence.
No. 414, owned by Mr. John H. Moore, and occupied
by Mr. llenry A. Ayres, was seriously damaged;
being completely flooded by water. The furniture
was especially injured, and through the absence of
Mr. Ayres from the city recently, bis Insurance on It
bad expired a few days ago. The damage to the
building is covered by an Insurance In the Fire Asso
ciation. No. 418, owned Bnd occupied by Mr. Louts O. Zor

f omtf pretty con'lunily night aud day, In a shed Just
n I lie rear of the delendaiit's house; the duf'nudant
feared tbat tbe tire from tills place might be com
municated to his house: the inmates ol his house also
fcured this; all were seriously annoyed by tbe
offensive odor that arose from the tar, and he coia
plulued to tbe plalntltT ot it as a nuisance, and re
quested tbat it would be removed. Fire Marshal
Blackburn, at the Instance of the defendant, went to
the place and made an examination, aud reported
that there was cauBe for the defendant 10 fear that his
property was uot safe so long as this tar boiling was
carried on so near Ik A petltien was then drawn up
aud signed by tbe neighbors aud preseuted to tbe
Mayor, praying relief.
The matter weut from the Mayor to Alderman
lieltler, aud the latter, after bearing testimony, bound
tbe plaintiff over to answer at court a charge of main
taining a uuisauce. A bill in tbe case was seut up to
theurand Jury, and there tbe matter ended. The
plaintiff then brought this action, alleging that tbe
evidence before the Alderman did not Justify a bind
ing over, but was rather in bis favor, and tbe whole
case was carried on through motives ot revenue.

brought merely lor the purpose of securing relief from
this nuisance, aud was eullrely devoid of malice.

Some eighteen months since, I was a severe s'uUeror

After trying a variety of so-called remedies, all of
which proved worthless, I was Induced, at the siii.
gestionot a medical it leu d, to give Uoofland's Oer

The result wasacomplete removal of all distress

The Raid on the Richmond Still last
Saturday.
Some of the particulars of the raid made on
tbe Illicit wblsby establishments in Richmond
were given in The Evening Telegraph of
yesterday. The full particulars of tho affair
were as follows:
It became known to the Collector of Internal Re
venue of the Fifth District, recently, that there were
at least one hundred Hills in operation in that locality,
nearly every one of which was being conducted In an
Illicit manner. Indeed, it is said that in tbe whole
Filth District there are but two distillers who have
regularly taken out a license, alirthe ethers belougiUK
to tbe illegitimate class.
Under such circumstances. It Is necessary that the
distillation should be carried on lu au underhanded
way. Cow stables, with which liistltutlorts Klchmond
abounds, appear to be considered tbe safest places for
these operations. The stills, likewise, are ot a very
prinui.adM.r, uu of mem being composed
of old ilnware. and pieced together and patched un In.
a very fantastic fashion. ' "
The Collector having determined upon a raid. Mr.
L. ii. Cole, the cbint of the Philadelphia Hevenua
lionrd, was Instructed to make it: and Inspectors
Weatervelt, Byrns, Keenan, Donnelly, Elusteln A.
U. Brooks, and Uhegan were detailed to assist him
Having received their Instructions, they started for
Klchmond on Saturday morning, arriving on the
ground about In o'clock. While on the streetcars
tney were recognized by some ot the culieauos of tbe
Illicit whisky men, and by them a general-alarm waa
spread.
As soon as the officers arrived, they were beset bv a
boisterous throng of tbe wblsky people and tbelr
friends. About fifteen hundred persons wore la the
crowd, which embraced persons of every age and
sex. They surrounded the officers of the Jaw, ratslnsr
a great hubbub, and heaping upon them the most
opprobrious epithets whien they could master. "Gov
ernment thieves" being the term which they regarded)
ns most expressive and most fitting. The oillr-ora
found tbat tbey had but little to do besldeS
meekly bearing this abuse. 'he whkky peoplS
bad received a warning of the Intended rah?
from some source, and had made em pie preparations
to give them a fitting reception. Every still in th
neighborhood, red-hot and smoking, had been owii
turned, and tben removed to what was considered
place of safety. Barns and outhouses were made thn
receptacles for storing away these evidonces of culls
some of them having been removed as far away from
tbe scene of operations us Holmeaburg. It Is said
however, tbat every still was again la position and!
iu full blast on the following night. u
But little could be doue by the officers under thesa
circumstances. They looked about, however, and
made a formal seizure of (ucb of the stills as they dis
covered, the riotous crowd of men, women, aud chil
dren following them about, ready to make an assault
in case it was attempted to remove any of the stllln
from their biding places. The officers were provided
with no means of transporting tbe stills to the city,
and had received no authority to hire wagons for tnat
purpose, kven if tliey had taken tbe responsibility
ol po doing, It Is said that, in ail Richmond, they could
not have secured a vehicle for love or money
The officers remaiued on tbe ground about two
hours, and. seeing the hopelessness of tbelr situation
finally concluded upon retreating to tbe city Thi
crowd all this time kepi them under a strict surveil
lance, but as tbe olflcen made no attempt to disturb)
tbe actual position ot things, their violent demonstra
tions were not carried to the extent of an assaulu It
was an ugly, rum-maddened orowd, however, and
fully prepared for bloody work, in case tbe provoca
tion waa given. -
