DEMOCRACY ON TIIE RAMPAGE.
Some of the recent conventions of the Repub
lican pty of this city were conducted in such
an unfair, disorderly, and disgraceful manner,
that we supposed the climax of partisan ini
quity had been reached. But the proceedings at
the various Demooratio conventions show
that we were wofully mistaken. There was a
Mill lower deep, and the representatives of
that organization plunged into it headlong.
Kothing but murder was wanting to complete
the carnival of contention, corruption, cheat
ing, and crime. The bad and base elements
of the Democracy were in the ascendant, and
if the demons in the bottomless pit had been
unchained and introduced into their council-!
rooms, they could soaroely have added any
thing to the horrors of the scene.
The reporters give a vivid sketch of some
of the more striking spectacles. But while a
few of the knock-downs and drag-outs, the
thefts, the frauds, amd the whiskyisms are
duly chronicled, the proceedings, as a whole,
beggar description, and they may well cause
every decent Democrat to blush with shame,
and every good citizen to shrink with horror
from the thought that bodies of such a char
acter shall wield a commanding influence over
the political destinies of Philadelphia.
In former times nominations had a serious
meaning. They indicated that the nominees
had a good claim to the confidence of the
parties which placed them in the field, and
that they were at least not below the average
of their fellow-citizens in intelligence, patriot
ism, and integrity. But nominations made
by the material of which the Democratic con
ventions were composed, prove only that the
nominees have managed to win the favor of
the worst classes of the community, and they
are more of a disgrace than an honor. The
day cannot be far distant when endorsements
of this description will be regarded by the
community at large as a much better reason
why the men who receive them should never
be voted for at popular elections, than as an
irresistible title to the support of intelligent
and honest freemen.
In the Senatorial Convention the redoubt
able Sam Josephs withdrew from the contest
at the eleventh hour, but as he publicly
claimed that the convention ' was reajy to
nominate himself, and as he dictated the
-choice of the nominee, Alexander J. Dia
mond, the Demooraoy have little reason to
congratulate themselves upon the change in
the programme. From Josephs' man Friday
the public can expect nothing better than
from Josephs himself.
I In their Representative Conventions the De
mocracy did no better in the districts in
Which they possess a decided majority. They
have renominated nearly all the members by
whom they were represented at Harrisburg
last winter, and they have thus shown even
less regard for the popular clamor for the
purification of the Legislature than was
evinced by the Republican Legislative Con
ventions. Duplicate nominations in a few of
their districts afford a good sign that the con
sciences of all the delegates have not been
stifled; but the unanimous renomination of
Sam. Josephs shows how little the leaders in
his district care for the welfare of the people.
T L At. ,1 - LI 1L.
irv tun grnuu bvbuob ui iwuuu were iu
County and City Conventions, for in these
bodies the entire Democracy of Philadelphia
were represented, and a broad field was
afforded for a display of their idiosyncrasies.
The County Convention consumed the whole
day in completing its organization. It re
quired nice management, bold manoeuvring,
hard fighting, and desperate deviltry for the
whisky ring to curb and conquer this body;
but its leaders were equal to the task, and they
remained masters of the field. The defeated
President, Philip Lowry, Jr., condenses his
condemnation of the whole proceedings in a
card published this morning, in which he
states that, as he was elected three times and
'denied an opportunity to preside by a mob,
he requests that his friends will give "no
further acknowledgment to the convention
until honest delegates be permitted to exer
cise their rights." A fitting counterpart of
this statement is found in the fact that the
Chairman chosen was Isaac Leech, one of the
most adroit of Democratic manipulators, and
that his prominent backers were men equal to
any emergency.
Iu the City Convention the party spur was
plied more actively, and, amid a succession of
wild scenes of disorder, enlivened by terrifio
combats and an incursion of a detective offi
cer in search of a thief, the good work of
turning out candidates went on so bravely
that Duncan was declared thp nominee for
Commissioner and Fry for Treasurer. Mr.
Peirsol, the present Treasurer, requested
ltla vfaa-iatraa trIV1v T.T ViAtaliaa t Vl A oiti nan
j (ion, as conducted, was the "merest farce;"
lm tneur puorts 10 ouey mm request, were

",, wore obliged, by main force, to remain help
less witnesses of the slaughter of their favorite
candidate.
Out of evil good sometimes comes, and
a . - n t 1. 1 A
even the disgraceful scenes in the Demo
cratic Conventions will serve a useful purpose
if they help to teach good citizens the folly of
suffering themselves to be bound hand and
foot, on flection day, by the villainous action
qI the ccoundrcla wi the soma of the city.
DR. RUSH 8 BEQUEST.
Yest rtay a meeting of the stockholders of
the riiladelphia Library Company was hold
for the purpose of taking into consideration
the acceptanoe or rejection of the bequest
made by the late Dr. James Rush. When the
fact was first made pnblio that the Philadel
phia Library had fallen heir to the magnificent
sum of one million dollars, there was a gene
ral expression of satisfaction among all classes
of citizens. Literary men especially, who
know what the institution now is, who have
enjoyed the many facilities that are afforded
tinder the liberal system of management
that throws its fine collection open to all
comers, saw in the possession of Dr. Rush's
wealth the means for largely increasing its
usefulness and placing it on a level with the
greatest of the great libraries of the world.
The Philadelphia Library has for years, in
deed from its very foundation, been ham
pered for want of funds; but it has been
managed with prudence and skill, and in spite
of its poverty it has obtained and fairly main
tained a name and reputation of which the
people of this city may well be proud.' It was
the general opinion that Dr. Rush could not
have given his wealth to a worthier object, or
to one that would make it a permanent bless
ing for all coming time, and the congratula
tions that were bestowed upon the library
for its good fortune were as sincere as they
were deserved.
On the publication of Dr. Rush's will, how
ever, it was found that his bequest was en
cumbered with a vast number of curious and
absurd conditions, directions, and expres
sions of opinion that rendered it difficult to
understand what his real wishes were, and to
make it extremely doubtful whether the
money would not be more of an encumbrance
than an aid to the library. The more the
matter was considered, the more doubtful be
came the expediency of accepting the bequest;
and when it was understood that the executor
of Dr. Rush had, in compliance with his di
rections, determined to locate the new library
building at Broad and Christian streets, and
that he had purchased a lot of ground for the
purpose, the hesitation to accept the bequest
with its entrammelling conditions became
clearly defined.
It was felt, however, that the matter was
one of so much importance that hasty action
would be imprudent, and ftfter a thorough
discussion yesterday, and a free expression of
opinion among the stockholders present, it.
was finally concluded to defer final action on
the subject until October next. The legal
opinion that was obtained as to the inten
tions of the testator stated that the whole
matter of selecting a lot and erecting a build
ing waB in the hands of the executor, and
that in choosing the location at Broad and
Christian streets he was carrying out the
exact wishes of Dr. Rush. If the Philadel
phia Library were removed to this place its
usefulness would undoubtedly be materially
impaired, and, coupled with the other extraor
dinary conditions of Dr. Rush's will, the ex
paaioney of accepting the Leanest ia mora
than doubtful.
A million dollars, however, is a great prize,
and the Library Company is right to take
time for a careful consideration of the matter,
but it would certainly seem that the most
judicious course for it to pursue is to decline
the money, and carry on its work as it
has been doing, trusting to the liberality of
the citizens of Philadelphia to furnish it
with funds, if any are needed, to carry on
operations.
If the Philadelphia Library refuses to accept
the bequest, the public will not lose the
benefit of it, for, by the provisions of Dr.
Rush's will, the money will be devoted to the
establishment of an independent free library.
Under all the circumstances, this appears to be
the best thing that could be done. Dr. Rush
was perfectly right to impose such conditions
in his bequest as would insure its being
applied in a proper manner to the object in
tended, and protected from waste and ex
travagance; but the greater portion of his will
was a mass of absurdity, which could only
have emanated from an eccentric recluse who
had no practical ideas as to what he wanted
to do himself, or what were the necessities of
the institution he desired to benefit. It is a
question whether the Philadelphia Library has
a right, in view of the position it holds as a
publio institution, to encumber itself by
accepting the money so ungraciously be
stowed. HAS THE MAYOR GONE FISHING t
A few years ago, when Mayor McMiehael
went fishing in preference to remaining at his
post to do the official honors to the Chief
Magistracy of the nation, as represented in
the person of Andrew Johnson, a tremendous
outcry was raised by the Democracy. The
Mayor was assured that it was his duty to sink
politics on such an occasion to forget that
Andy Johnson was a traitor to his principles
and a blackguard in his manners, and to re
member only that his office was entitled to
honor. The Mayor was ridiculed, abused,
and held np to contempt for his lack of
courtesy; but Mr. Johnson's performance in
thiB city, and the subsequent disgraceful ex
hibitions that he made of himself when
"swinging 'round the circle," more than jus
tified Mayor McMiehael in declining to receive
him on behalf of the loyal and decent citizens
of Philadelphia.
We were assured, however, that when the
Democracy got into power such things would
not be, and Mayor Fox was elected under
pledges to carry out reforms that were needed
in our city government. We will give Mr.
Fox the credit of having done a number of
good things since he has been in office, and
he has done nothing better than the issuing
of an order, through Chief MulhollanJ, a
week or two ago, forbidding in the most posi
tive terms, under penalty of dismissal, any
member of the police force from meddling in
politics in any shape whatever. Now, did the
Mayor really intend to enforce this order, or
was it merely intended to blind the eyes of
our citizens, and to gain him a credit that he
(Ud not deserve r It certainly Joolw
as though the latter was the
case, for just as the Domocratio
conventions were coming off, and the services
of the policemen were needed by the politioal
managers, the Mayor found it convenient to
leave town for a day or two. Whether he has
gone fishing or not is a question, but it is
certain that he has managed to get out of the
way, so that he could not interfere until the
conventions had concluded their business.
We accordingly find that no pretense whatever
was made on the part of the policemen to obey
the vory proper order of the Chief of Police,
and that gentleman made no effort to enforce
it. In direct violation of the order, the po
licemen in all sections of the city officiated at
the polls, ran for delegates, and participated
in the conventions as the most active among
thshonlder-hitters and demagogues who re
presented the Democracy of Philadelphia yes
terday. Mayor McMichaol's offense, when the worst
that can be said about it has been said, was
but a breach of official courtesy; and it is
certain that there were extenuating circum
stances that would excuse the offense, if it
were of even greater moment. Mayor Fox
does not stand in the same position: he has
made a pretense of instituting reforms for
which he has obtained credit from all parties,
and for him to leave the city just when his
presence was most neodod for the purpose of
strictly enforcing his own regulations, was a
breach of official duty for which there can be
no excuse. Mr. Fox is a very worthy gentle
man, and he has apparently labored to manage
his office in a proper manner, but absence at
this juncture proves conclusively that he is
not his own master; and that, whether he
wishes it or not, he is forced, openly or se
cretly, to aid the "ring" of Democratic poli
ticians who are endeavoring to obtain the
control of the public offices. It will be
curious to note what action he will take in
regard to the flagrant violation of his order
by the policemen, when he returns from his
fishing excursion.

Messrs. Parrel, Hbrrikci ft Co.,
No. 629 Chesnnt street, Philadelphia.
Gents: A persistent bat unsuccessful effort was
made on the night of May 89, 1869, to drill the
Banker's chest received from you a few month ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, It la
evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
It useless, the effort was then made to tireak the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties in the
neighborhood for several hoars, but supposing it to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It Is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed Is another evidence that your
Banker's Chests ore what you claim for them, Bur.
glar-Proof.
Respectfully yours, t
