Last night the Fox Democratic Club, of the
Seventeenth Ward, made a street parade, and
Qn thoir roote passed the house of John llsrbl
t Bon, at Front anl MsHtcr streets, the headquar
ter of tbe Republican Club. When about one
halt of the line had crossed the street, a brick
was throwm at tbe transparency which haag4
from the second-story of the bowse, but missing
Its object went through a window. There was
quite a commotion tor a httle while, when
Policeman Graham, of the Tenth District,
arrested John McClusltev tor heaving the mo
tile, lie was locked up In the station, aud this
morning whs given a bearing before Alderman
Kgrleton, who required him to enter bonds ia
$'2500 for his appearance at Court.
John Wilson wai last night taken la custody
In Gillcs' alley. In the neighborhood of Sixth
and Lombard streets, with a lady's sack In hi
possession, which he U alleged to have stolon.
Alderman Carpenter committed him for trial.
Yesterday a hawser and a set of harness
Were stolen from a boat lying in the Schuylkill,
at tbe Fairmouut locks. The hawser was sub
eqaently found la the possession of one Jsmes
Connell, who was bound over In $100 r7 Al ler
man Pancoast. The harness was taken by a
confederate, who escaped.
Robert Cberry was before Alderman Beltler
this moraine:, charged with having plc:ked thi
pocket of a lad r named Cheescinan, In the South
Second-street Market, of a book containing $3,
lie was 6ent below for trial, in default of $2503
bail.
Oua Podhida. The Yonng Men's Keystone
Club parades this evening 1 In honor of tbe De
mocratic pain In Maine!" Everybody iu the
city is laugblDg at tbem. We had thought taut
the young men ot tbe other, or Loco.oco party,
were possessed of heads too level to b j deluded
by tbe pitiable averment tbat tbe Democrats
had gone a round or two np the political ladder
In Maine. We happen to know that there are
a number of sharp chaps who belong to tbat
organization, at least they were sharp before
they donned "Keystone." capes and lit "Key
atone" lanterns, and it is a matter of tbe most
poignant regret tbat tbeir brains have become
muddled by the mere fact of joining so badly
muddled that they can no longer count ten on
eight fingers and two thumbs. Many
of them are just fresh from tbe school rooms;
but, alas! their lately learned arithmetic has
gone I Tbe old fossils ot that persuasion, who
Save forgotten everything and everybody save
the great Democratic party and Andy Jack
son, and who, like the Bourbons, can learn
nothing new, may be pardoned on tbe
score of imbecility, for credulously receiving as
truth a ludicrous perversion of tacts and figures
which would sbowa Copperhead gala in tbe
Pine Tree State: but for the young of that party
what can be said in excuse? The old saw again,
"You can't play with coals without getting
blackened." The sad condition into which these
young fellows have lallen should be a warning
to all others not to enter the ranks of the Demo
cracy. Once In aud jou are gone, gone every
way your brains go first.
As everybody knows, there is to be a grand
National Convention ot lojal soldiers and sailor
in this city on the first and second of October.
A lengthy and stirring call has been Issued for
this assemblage the drum has been tapped,
and the "boys" will answer it. Appended to the
call is a nofa btne tbat ' Wade Hampton, For
rest, Buckner, Pike, and Semmes will not be
delegates here." Thai's not bad. We guess,
however, tbat our men wouldn't care much. If
the "unrepentant" live meutioned were to put
in an appearance at the Convention, tbe place
might prove ratber warm for them. In all like
lihood they would be served like bottles of poor
champagne be shaken up and have "heads"
put on tbem.
Women can talk much faster than men.
Their tongues are on a pivot in the centre, and
wag both wajs at the same time. Tboush tuts
is so. It doesn't nccessaiily follow that they say
the most. Words are not always ideas.
We bear tbat an attempt is to be made to
play the White Fawn in costume. We predict
tbat it .won't draw. Our people don't like tbe
principle of looking at trees without seeing
limbs.
The alterations and repairs in the Morris
School-house having been completed, the
schools to occupy tbat building will be opened
on Monday morning next.
Tbe Democrats are still engeged In throwing
"Seymour and Blair" flaes to tbe breeze. They
hadDetter keep them out of tbe breeze from
Vaine, or away goes the bunting.
Many people seem to regard a "little truth"
much alter the manner of a "little learning"
as a dangerous thing, and so have nothing to do
with it whatever.
The great Republican Campaiarn Club of 'CO
and '68 parades this evening. It starts from the
City Armory, Broad aud Race streets.
The Republican citizens of tbe Seventh
Ward are going to organize an equipped cam
paign club this evening.
Many a man who couldn't find an equal in

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
Ilia Letter Accepting the Democratic
Af otninntlon lor Governor.
A despatch to Tbi Evbnino Telbobaph yes
terday gave extracts from the letter of Hon.
John Quiucy Adams, accepting the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Massachusetts. In
addition to these, he comments on our national
currency and the Reconstruction aott of Con
gress as follows:
This dishonored paper which we are all com
pelled, as I mink unconstitutionally, to accept
aa money, is not only a standing disgrace to tue
nation, bat 11 Is destroying the auolent habits
of economy and tbrllt, and undermining our
old-fashioned honest ideas, by the constant
spectacle and example of an insolvent Govern
ment, it lays upou me poor man a burden
heavier tban he can bear. It in.turea trade, in.
dustry, and all productive Industry eaou year
more man me wuoie sum oi aouDtiui gain
which might aocrne from cancelling our dubta
by promises to pay wbion, we do not redeem.
If persisted in I think It must result in repudi
ation and bankruptcy. In that event tue re
sponsibility will rest primarily with the party
wblsh made tbe notes and then retased, when
they bad tbe power, to make tbem good, and
next with the Demooraoy, if they are tempted
to follow tbat bad lead. It is with peculiar
pleasure, therefore, that I read your d ess ana
for a sound and honest currency. But even
It I differed with yon on this aublect. an. I
saw any relief In the party chiefly responsible
for onr present deplorable financial condition, I
regard the second or vital question of auob mo
ment, tbat any political action would be gov
erned by the attitude of the opposing parties In
reference to that alone. Tbe issue wnlob, In my
mind, dwarfs all others Is, Shall the Constitu
tion or shall a party mandate be tbe supreme
law of the land T Fidelity to the Constitution
should be the final test of political affiliation to.
day. But to act with tbe party wbioh haa ruled
tne conntry wnn supreme dominion ror three
years past, 1 must aicree with them
that the Constitution contemplated an
ultimate absorption of the most important
functions of the .Executive Department by
uuuKrces; wmi ita lair cuum motion wilt au
thorize that body to wrest from the Judlolaty
Department the Jurisdiction ia cases where
Its Judgment upon constitutional questions of
the first magnitude may possibly conflict with
that of a majority therein; I mnst stand ready
to fix my name to a declaration of polltloal
faith Wbloh ezpreaaly m.k.i approTal or Ibo
Impeachment of the President a test of party
fellowship; and, finally, I must be able to say
npon my conscience that I ooastder "recon
struction," for the sake of which all this and
muehmore has bean done, la wise, statesman
like, and constitutional. Now, I have always
thought with Mr. Seward that the wisest way
to treat the wounds left by the war was to let
them heal "by first intention." But "recon
struction" has torn them open day by day, until
they are now a mass of well nleu Incurable gan
grene. I believe that true statesmanship would
have imposed on the Southern leaders the task:
of bring their people back: into the Union
by frankly and confidently offering to them,
the day they laid down their arms, the
right band of oblivion of the past and recon
ciliation in the future, which they mlgbt reject
If tbey wished or dared. "Heoonatruotiou" has
scorned their protests, repelled their aid, In
sulted their misery, and Inflicted on tbem an
abasement which they felt to be lntoleraote, in
posting over them their slaves of yes,Lerday to
seaure their pledge of submission to the Con
stitution. But for tbls ungenerous and suspi
cious policy I believe we might now have been
a truly united people, the Southern white re
conciled to the Inevitable, the negro secure la
bis civil rights, and attaining polltloal privi
leges as he grew fit to use them wisely, and the
North ennobled by a victory more noble than
any feat of arms the conquest of Its o wn pas
sions. I will not argue the unconstitutionality
of "reconstruction." The almost unanimous
disinclination of the Kepubllcaus In Congress
to allow It to undergo tbe sorutiny of the
Supreme Court would seem to ooufirm the re
ported statement of the lamented Stevens,
"that only tbe d d fools lu tbe party be
lieved tbe Reconstruction aots to be constitu
tional." Kvenlf they were so, I should deem
tbem unwise. The Union they impose Is to
my eyes no more like a true union of
hearts and bands than a galvaulzed oorpio re
sembles a bealtby man. All tne doings of men
are governed by the laws of nature. The attempt
to subordinate tbe trained and able classes of
white landholders at tbe South to the poor,
Ignorant, debased, and landless freedmen, Is
one of those futile struggles to repeal Uod's
law by statute with which history abounds. It
must fall, but It is of great moment that It
should be stopped at onc). Every day It lasts
it is encouraging false hopes ia the negro and
rendering a resumption of a true relation be
tween the blaoks and whiles more dlttloult. I
think tbat neither tbe Instincts nor the deitlny
of this people will allow any permanent domi
nation to the African race lu any Slate of tbe
Union. But the Republican party is irrevocably
pledged to tbls Idea. They have staked their
existence as a party on Its triumph. To this
Idol tbey sacrificed their constitutional obliga
tions in tbe past, and for it they must lind frenh
offerings in the future.

The "Mandrake Pills" are eomptwsd entirely or
roots and herbs, obtained from the great siorehonse
of nature, and their ss'utary effects will appear as
soon as the medicine Is brought to the test of a fair ex
periment, Bohenck's Mandrake Pills do not produce
any censes or sickness of the stomaeh; but when
given for dyspepsia, It may be proper to nte tbem In
connection with Hchsnck's Sea-Weed Tonic. By this
judicious treatment, the digestive faculties are
speedily restored to tbetr fall vigor, and the worst

When we reflect that the liver Is the largest later

when It la dl-eised or Inactive, the whole b-dy suf

Cottlveneis, piles, bitter or sour eructations, and

Senator Morgan are In receipt of telegraphic
de-patches from Rrpabl.can members of Con
gress which remove all anxiety abouta qnoram.
There will be a sufficient number here on Mon
day evening to form a business quorum, withoal
the aid of any of the Democratic members.
What Cong rex Will Do.
Speaker Colfax has been In consultation with
several Republican leaders respecting the drafla
for ailita-y bills for the South, In orJer to pro
tcct the Union party at the Presi Jeniial election
in the reconstructed States. This business, and
tbe adoption of legislation for the relief of the
Rollins and McCulloch dead lock in the Revena i
appointments, will constitute the chief topics e
tho session. Many leading Republicans, how
ever, deprecate any legislation Involving ten
days delay for a velo, as tbe absence of Con
greastnen from their constituencies at thla period
of the political campaign may cost maoyo
them their scats.
Tbe proposition to limit tbe action of th?
extra sesolon to a resolution of adjournment
until October will be strongly opposed, and may
not be pressed, many members being of the
opinion tbat any legislation in October will be too
late for producing au effect upon the Presiden
tial issue, and do mote harm than good.
A all of the House to be Made.
Senator Morton telegraphs that he will bet
here to-night or to-morrow moraine. Very few
members arrived to-day, but they are expecto
In force to morrow or Monday morning. Speaker

being held by stating in advance that he will
allow a call of the House If a quorum la not
