THE HOW OFFICES. The Republican City Conventions yesterday nominated candidate for the lucrative Row offices which are to be filled at the coming general election. Sonio of the proceedings connected with thefte nominations afforded a powerful new ilhiBtrution of the necessity of such a change of the law as will compensate all leading city officials with moderate salaries instead of enormous fees. Take tho Recorder of Deeds, for instance. What good roason is there, under the sun, for giving to tho incum bent of that office a larger annual remunera tion than the people of tho United States pay to the President? He is not required to pos Bef any special qualifications or to discharge any difficult duties. Practically, his labors, after he has secured a nomination and elec tion, consist in appointing a few clerks, hunt ing up securities, and then abstaining from any serious attention to his official duties be yond a careful supervision of his fees. Any body can do all that is usually required of a Recorder of Deeds, and ten thousand men iu Philadelphia could, for three thousand dol lars per annum, transact all the business legitimately devolving tipon the head of tho office, quite as well as it is usually transacted by the men who receive more than thirty thou band dollars. Undor the present system, an office of this character is regarded as a rich prize by greedy politicians, and they resort to the most despe rate and disreputable devices to socure it. They look forward to it as tho culminating re ward of years of intrigue and partisan chica nery, and in their eagerness for triumph they become ready to bribe, barter, cheat, and cajole in the most shameless manner. All the base passions and the base motives of the human heart are enlisted in the contest; and whatever may be thought of the general ap plication of the maxim that partisan ma noeuvring "is the madness of the many for the benefit of the few," it certainly applies to the usual struggles for this position, and is doubly tme of the nomination luado yes terday. , . After some fashion John A. Houseman was declared the nominee for Recorder of Deeds. He is reported to be wealthy. Why should lie be singled out as an object specially worthy of further enrichment ? "What superior claims has he upon the respect, confidence, generosity, or regard of the citizens of Phila delphia, that they should stuff more green backs into his well-lined pockets ? None that we have ever heard of none that were seri ously xirged as a reason for his nomination. It is commonly believed that he owes his tem porary triumph mainly to his connection with and services to the Gas Ring, which has already fcurrouuded itself with odium by tho pernicious influence it has exerted, upon the Republican party in this city, and by its arrogant attempts to make thousands of good Republicans the sub servient servitors of its favorites. It is higli time that combinations of this character tshould be broken up, and no better oppor tunity than the present could be desired for giving "all whom it may concern" distinctly to understand that the influence of tho Gas Ring ceases with nominating conventions, and that in a contest before the people its candi dates are inevitably doomed to an overwhelm ing defeat. The better sense of tho conven tion which assembled yesterday was clearly against this pernicious influence. Determined to nominate Houseman at all hazards, it was compelled to eke out its deficient btrength by bribery and fraud. How many delegates were bought and paitj, for no man knows except those who kept tho account books, but a large number were un doubtedly secured in this manner. Even tho Gas Ring and bribery were not, of themselves, sufficient to overcome the repugnance of tho convention. Cheating was then resorted to, and the Committee on Credentials reported that a set of Houseman men were entitled to Beats who had no earthly claim to a vote upon the floor a notable instance of the frauds of this description being furnished by the at tempt to deprive Samuel C. Perkins, Esq., one of the Vice-Presidents of tho convention, of his seat. Subsequently, false voting in the interest of Houseman was repeatedly at tempted, and in one instance the knavery of this description was so manifest that a largn body of the delegates were upon tho point of leaving the room. Finally, after many dis graceful scenes of disorder, which were the fitting counterparts of the corruption, in trigue, and fraud which characterized tho whole Houseman movement, ho received a majority of votes cast; but the convention, conscious of the wrongs that had been perpe trated, very properly refused to make tho nomination unanimous, and then adjourned amid great disorder. Under theso circumstances, we consider that every Republican is perfectly free to vote as his own judgment and conscience shall dic tate, and that the true interests of the Repub lican party will be much better served by de feating tho candidate of tho Gas Ring by an overwhelming majority than by his election. To endorse him is to endorse not only an in sidious und arrogant influence, but tho most discreditable acts that ever disgraced parti sanship, while his defeat will teach tho grasp iyj; schemers of tho party that outrages on the' honest, patriotic, and noble impulses of the Republicans of Philadelphia, perpetrated ut nominating conventions, will be inevitably resented and avenged ut tho general elections. THE DAILY EVENING TELEOltA PH I'M usual. The candidate for City Treasurer, Mr. Marcer, has been a vory useful member of City Councils, and deserves cordial sup port. William Taylor, during his former ser vice as Coronor, made an excellent officer. We have heard of no objections to the candi date for Trothonotary of the District Court, Captain Hopkins; the candidate for Clerk of Quarter Sessions, Thomas Ashton; and the candidate for City Commissioner, Thomas M. Locke; and we know of no reason why their nominations should not bo heartily endorsed by the Republican party. 7777 LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS. TnE conventions for nominating candidates for tho State Legislature, held undor the auspices of the Republican party, completed their work yesterday, excepting in the Third Representative district. The ticket presented by them contains the name of William W. Watt for State Senator in the Fifth district, and the following for members of the House of Representatives: 1. I.. B. Thomas, 8.

As an indication of tho political complexion of each of tho Legislative districts, we give the result of the elections of last year in comparison with that of the previous yoar. The votes for Auditor-General in tho different wards comprised in the First Senatorial dis trict at the October election iu 1SC8, and for Judge of the Supreme Court at the October election of the previous year, were as follows: 1SD7.

Mr. Watt, who has received tho Republican nomination, fills this requirement to an unusual degree, while it is generally con ceded that Mr. Samuel Josephs, tho late mem ber of the House from tho Third district, is to receive the Democratic nomination; and if this should prove to bo the case, tho require ments for the success of tho Republican nomi nee will certainly bo fully met on the other side. A scrutiny of the votes in the Representa tive districts shows that the Second, Third, Fifth, Ninth, and Thirteenth are hopelessly Democratic, and may be dismissed with a simple exhortation to the Republican voters residing in them to'make the best use of their votes and diminish the Democratic majorities as far as may be possible. The Sixth, Ele venth, and Eighteenth districts are very close, and success will crown the efforts of the Re publicans in each of them only in return for tho utmost exertion to secure the election of good and unexceptionable men. In the Sixth and Eighteenth districts new men have been placed in nomination, and as far as our know ledge of them at present extends, we have rea son to believe that they are both worthy of the support of the Republican portion of the voting population of the ir districts. The fail nre of Messrs. Kleckner and Hervey, the mem bers of the last House, to receive a renomina tion, was tho first step towards insuring suc cess. If either of them had been renominated, he would have received just what he deserved, an ignominious and humiliating defeat. With regard to tho ten remaining districts, the Republican majorities of the past two years would have rendered them entirely safe under certain contingencies. These require ments have been fully met in the First, Se venth, Fifteenth, and Seventeenth districts by the nomination of new men, from whom we can at least hope for a decent and credita ble discharge of the legislative functions to which they will undoubtedly be called. In the Fourth district the Gas Ring succeeded in . splitting the convention, and we have two yandidates presented, one of them a new rutin, who has no disreputable associations, and the other a member of the Gas Trust, who should be indignantly repudiated by every honest Republican voter in the district. Unless Mr. Elliott's name is withdrawn, either voluntarily or through the action of the City Executive Committee, tho result will proba bly be the loss of the district, which has been Republican for years; and if this rosult should bo brought about, tho Gas Ring will bo directly and solely responsible for it. Under every contingency we trust that Mr. Breadv w ill remain in the field, and that his friends will do their utmost to secure his election by a plurality, if not by a majority voto. We now come to the familiur names of Messrs. STOKES, DAVIS, MINX, ADA IRE, CLOtD, and H0MJ, the half-dozen mis- representatives w ho sat in the last House, , and now have tho impudence and temerity to y: ltfy:i :Le p:?i.3 :i tlwir districts he x.. election. By a resort to all the disgraceful expedient in which they have become ao skilfull theybave secured nominations, in utter defiance of the will of the people; but these pretondod renominations are the yeriost farces, and should have no weight whatever in deciding the issue. By their course in tho last Legislature they disgraced themsolves, their constituents, the body of which they were members, and the great State for whose interest they were called upon by tho people to provide. Their records prosont no pallia tion whatever, except the sorry one that nearly all of their associates were quite as regardless as themsolves of the true interests of the pooplo, quite as deficient as themselves in tho first principles of integrity and decency. If it be possible, let the true men of their districts organize and present tho names of new and unobjection able candidates, and do their utmost to oloct them. But if this be impossible, let evory Republican voter who rospects himself ab stain from casting a vote for any one of these men, and pormit their Democratic opponents to carry tho election by default. It will be much better to have half a dozen more De mocrats in the next Legislature than there were in the last, if theso half dozen Demo crats should prove to bo decent and honest men; it will be infinitely better to have the six seats filled by Democrats, if they must bo filled by men who are deficient in both decency and honesty. KICKING AGAINST THE PRICKS. The Tory peers who announced their deter mination to kill the Irish Church bill have succeeded iu creating a storm of indignation which threatens to overwhelm that venerable institution, the House of Lords, and even to deprive tho lords themselves of their cher ished hereditary privileges and place them on the same level as their fellow-citizens. The very plain manner in which the press has spoken has apparently brought some of tho peers to their senses, and there are already signs of defection in their ranks, which is ominous of defeat. A new opponent, however, has arisen in the person of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who has counselled the Bishops in the House of Lords to oppose the Irish Church bill. Foolish as this advico is, it is nothing more than was to bo ex pected. In the downfall of tho Irish Church, the prelates of the Church of England see very plainly a warning of tho speedy dis solution of the ties which bind their own or ganization to tho State, and a prospect of shortly finding themselves placfcd upon a level with dissenting Methodists, Presbyterians, and Baptists, who have no particular regard for the claims of the Apostolic succession. At the best tho bishops sit in tho House of Lords merely on sufferance, and their in terference in such a grave matter of state policy as the disestablishment of tho Irish Church will bo submitted to with even less grace than that of the hereditary Lords. In deed, their opposition to this measure will only have an effect on tho public mind calcu lated to bring the hereditary peerage and the Established Church into greater popular dis favor than ever, and to prepare tho stolidost of British conservatives for the speedy over throw of those relics of barbarism which have clung like barnacles to the British Constitu tion the House of Lords and tho Church of England. THE TOBACCO TAX. Somb of the members of tho "Tobacco Trade As sociation" complain that our article a few days aj?o was calculated to give a wrong Impression as to the operations of the laws of July, 1808, and April, 1869. We therefore give an explanation which it is hoped will make the whole matter perfectly clear to our readers. The act of April 10, 1869, was passed to afford re 11. f to persons who had cigars, tobacco, or snuff, in jHiueesin'on, which had been removed from the place of manufacture, or Imported, or withdrawn from bonded warehouse between July 20, 1868, and No vember 23, 18G8, and which had been assessed and paid tax under the act of July 20, 186S, and was con tained In an Inventory made February 1, 1S69. On such goods so held April 10, 1869, where the owner, by the act of July 20, 1868, was obliged to aftlx tho stumps (say on tho 15th February, 1989, In case of Hue-cut chewing and smoking tobacco and suuff; on the 1st of April, 1869, In the case or cigars; and on the 1st day of July, 1869, In the case of plug tobacco), he is entitled to the refunding of the amount of the value of the stamps bo aillxed on presenting evidence to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The reason why this legislation took place was because the Commissioner could not supply tax-paid stamps prior to and not until November 23, 1868. Hence Congress supplied this measure of relief to cover the time from July 20, 1868, to November 2(, 1868, when the Government was unable to furuish stamps. It does not cover tobacco, snuff, or clgara re moved from the place of manufacture or Imported prior to July 20, 1S08. Tho act of April 10, 1869, Is, therefore, not an In tention of Congress to refund any tax assessed and paid under the laws In existence prior to July 20 1868, but covers only those goods manufactured and removed or imported or removed from bonded ware house between July 20, 1868, and November 23, 1868." We quote the section of the act of April 10, 1869, referred to : "Section 8. And be It further enacted, That anv person having in his possession any tobacco, hiiiiiI, or cigars, manufactured und sold, or removed from the manufactory, or from any plane where tobacco, snu 11, or cigars are luaile, since July 20, lsiis, or any person having in his possession cigars unpurled from foreign countries since July 20, 1868, or withdrawn from a Vnited States bonded warehouse since said date, such tobacco, snuff, aud cigars, having been put up In packages as prescribed in the iu f to which this act is an amendment, und all the othert requirements ol suld uct relating to tobacco, snuff, and cigars hav ing beeti compiled with, aud who, on tun first day of February, 1869. liled with the assessor of the district within which he resides, or has his place of busi ness, the inventory required by the 7htlt und 94th sec tions of the act ol July 20. 1868, und who shull, prior to selling or offering such tobacco, suuff, or cigars for sale, attlx und cancel proper Internal revenue stumps, shull be entitled to have refunded to him an amount of tax previously paid thereon, equal to the value of the slumps uttlxed before stile us afore said; und tho Commissioner of lnteruul Revenue shall be and Is hereby authori.eU, ou appeal to him made, to refund aud pay back a sum of money equal to the value of the stumps so aillxed, upon satisfactory evidence submitted to him that the tobacco and snuff were actually manufactured and removed from the place of muiuitacturo, und that the cigars were so manufactured and removed, or Imported und withdrawn from a I'uited States bonded warehouse, and the several rates of tax Im posed on such goods by tho act of July 20, lutH, us aloiesuld, assessed and putd, and that the claimant hud In all respects compiled with the Internal revenue laws us far us they have been or may be applicable to such articles.
