FRIDAT. JULY 3, THE PROGRESS OF POLITICAL "RE FORM." SoAMDAi-otTS aa were the proceedings of the last Legislature of this State, one good result flowed from theui. The attention of the . public was generally attracted to the prevail ing rasoalitjr in political management, and , from all sides came protests against the cor rnptiou of the present system and appeals for a change in the future. The press of this ' Uy, especially, were thoroughly aroused to the necessity for ft radical change, and were fdmost, if not quite, unanimous in their de mand for a thorough and sweeping reform. The only manner in which this reform could possibly be inaugurated was clearly seen to be by a repudiation on the part of the people of the shameless and reckless plunderers who J i d contrived to install themselves in positions 1 1 honor, trust, and profit. The essential piinciples of the two great political parties of the country wore not connected in any way with the corruptions and abuses whieh had crept into the management of public affairs by the so-callod representatives of either of these parties. The evil of the system con sisted, not in the principles professed by place-holders, but in the character of the place-holders themselves; and the only hope of a reform lay in the future selection of men who were not utterly lost to all sense of ehame, who wore not entirely deficient in the elements of decency, capacity, and honesty. With the powerful incentive of public Opinion at their back, the Republican man agers a few weeks ago presented a city and county ticket which was unexceptionable from " first to last, except in the case of one name . placed upon it. Through the agency of the most unblushing roguery, John A. Houseman vr&n declared the candidate of the party for the office of Recorder of Deeds. The manner in which he secured his so-called nomination, and the general disrepute attaching to his po litical affiliations, render him entirely un trorthy of the support of decent and respect able citizens who have the welfare of the com munity and the strength and purity of the Republican party at heart. In respect to the nominations for the State Legislature, the result was not so fortunate. The districts are comparatively small, and were therefore much more easily manipulated. By reason of this, the ring which secured the pretended nomi nation of Houseman succeeded in splitting one of the Representative conventions and in gaining for William Elliott, one of its servile tools, the shadow of a nomination. Six of the old members likewise managed things so adroitly that they were enabled to claim a "regular" nomination, by which they expect to counteract the disreputable records left behind them when the den of thieves at Har risburg was broken up for the season. With the exception of these eight men Houseman, Elliott, Stokes, Davis, Bunn, Adaire, Cloud, and Hong the general and legislative tickets of the Republican party come before the people with the strongest claims upon their hearty support, in the cause of the new re form. But the Democracy ! Last night the last of their conventions adjourned, and the re suits of their labors as a whole are now before the people. For the lower house of the State Legislature, two of their old members, Sam Josephs and Samuel D. Dailey, secured uncon tested renominations, while in two of the other districts controlled by them the con ventions were rent asunder through the de termination of the old members, John I Rogers and Michael Mullin, to secure a re- nomination at all hazards. John McGinnis, the other Democratic member, for some reason did not turn up on Tuesday, but still another split presented two candidates, while in the Eleventh district, which is neither one thing nor the other, there are also two candi dates. From this showing, it appears that, in their Legislative conventions, the reform movement in the Democratic ranks was knocked in the head, and either fell dead at the outset, or lingers on the brink of the grave. - The Democratic conventions at forge wit nessed the same melancholy result. The Claims of such men as Joseph N. Peirsol, Major J. R. Coxe, Colonel A. II. Reynolds, Dr. F. F. Bui-meister, and Dr. II. R. Linder nian, were utterly ignored, in deference to the aspirations ef such unterrified specimens as John P. Ahern, James Stewart, and Charles M. Hurley. On the entire ticket we find the names of but two men who have any claims ou the support of the decent law-abiding, and order-loving portion of the community. Mr. S. Gross Fry secured the nomination for City Treasurer, but this result was achieved only by the inot flagrant violations of the rules of the party, and amidst a soene of riot ous disorder which fully warranted Mr Peir Bol in requesting his friends to withdraw from the convention. Mr. William F. Scheible who ih announced as the can ilidate f or Pro thonotary of the District Court, iH well known as a decent and honorable gentleman But that consummation of chaos and climax Of Fourth ward rowdyism, the County Con vention, which placed him iu nomination dealt a severe blow at his reputation and - standing in the community by honoring him with their endorsement, while the character of his associates on the ticket effectually robs him of all the respectability that was left. ??iuj2 tli p to. or three years dj. niocracy of Philadelphia have boon ou their good behavior. The incontestable fact that they were in the minority led theiu to present very respectable ticket, while the overweening confidence of the Republicans resulted in the selection of candidates who, to say the least, were lacking in the element of strength. The result was a general resmcitntiou of the city Democracy, unlil they have at last secured a fair share of the city and county offices. Then came the reaction, and this weok the Democracy steered their shaky craft against i- n whii-h the staunch Republican ship has sustained so many serious shocks. And down she went down to the very bottom. Peirsol, and Coxe, and Reynolds, and ' Burmoister, and Lindenuan were unable to grasp even a Btraw as the dark, slimy waters of corruption and violence closed over them, and their dead bodies have not yet been fished out of the deep. Such burly tars as Ahern and Stewart, and such adroit political swimmers as Hurley and Duncan, secured each a stout plank, while Fry and Scheible, weaker, because more re spectable, are hugging desperately to a couple of treacherous spars, now with their hoclsand ears out of water, and now completely sub merged. The unhappy fate of the whole crew it will be our melancholy duty to record on the loth of October next. But we do not, by any means, bid them adieu till theu NAVAL NOMENCLATURE!. Some of the jaw-breaking Indian names affixed to our national vessels of war by that "old man of the sea," Mr. Gideon Welles, were criticized rather freely. It was felt, how ever, that there was a certain propriety in choosing Indian names for this purpose, especially as they represented mountains, lakes, rivers, towns, etc. of our own land, which gave them a distinctively national char acter; the sailors, too, who generally like high sounding titles for men-of-war, took kindly to the nomenclature adopted by the Navy De partment; and if we except a little good, natured banter at the expense of the queer old gentleman who for eight long years figured as Secretary of the Navy, there was no serious objection to them. Under the administration of Mr. Borie, however, all this was changed; and instead of renaming the vessels as the law di rects, the nomenclature of the Bri tish service, which, by-the-way, savors strangely the prize ring, was adopted. This change, it is understood, was adopted at the instance of Admiral Porter, who may be a very good officer to command a fleet, but who, while managing the Navy Department for Mr. Borie, showed a singular aptitude for creating dissatisfaction in all quarters, and who cer tainly displayed neither taste nor judgment in this particular instance. It is rumored that our new Secretary, Gen. Robeson, not withstanding the fact that he is a Jerseyuiau, has determined to send Porter back to Anna polis to resume the duties of schoolmaster, and that he will run the Navy Department after his own ideas. It is to be hoped that his ideas are good ones, and that he will not run the navy into the ground. Rumor has it that Gen. Robeson is about to abolish the new names given to our ships of war and restore those originally given. This is what he should do, for the name of a vessel ought not to be changed except for very decided reasons, and there does not appear to be any necessity for altering the nomenclature adopted by Mr. Welles. It has been sug gested that, if a change must be made, it would be preferable to adopt such as "Billy Bowlegs," or "Tall Bear," or "Jumping Bear," or "Hole in the Sky," or "Squinting Eyes," or others equally expressive, rather than to borrow from classic mythology, which has been used up long ago for such purposes, or the even more objectionable names of the British navy, which savor strongly of black guardism, which is sufficient to condemn them even if there was nothing else to urge against them. Those we have indicated are expres sive if not elegant, and they have the advan tage of being genuinely American. THE NATIONAL DEBT. The Tall Mall Gazette recently referred to the interest that was felt in the statements of the national debt as a curious phase of the American character. . The English have long since ceased to regard their debt as anything but a permanent institution: they are satisfied to pay the interest regularly, and all hope of ever reducing the principal has long since been abandoned. Every American, however, has a personal interest in the debt incurred to defeat the Rebellion: it is considered a nui sance of the first magnitude, that must be abated as soon as possible. To the amazement of the well-disciplined British tax-payer, the exact standing of our debt is a matter of solicitude. The Secretary of the Treasury is expected to publish frequent statements of the exact condition of the debt, and its increase or decrease is a matter for congratulation or otherwise. The British subject has become so accus tomed to being taxed, that he is supposed to rather like it; but on this side of the Atlantic it is an object of the first moment to reduce taxation to a minimum, and there is a deter mination to get rid of the burden imposed upon us by the Rebellion as soon as it can possibly be done. It is expected of President Grant's admin istration Jhat the public expenditures will be conducted with economy, and that a material reduction of the debt will be made within the next four years. A good beginning has been made, and Secretary Boutwell appears to have managod the Treasury with excellent judg ment. It was estimated that during the month of June there would be a reduction of the national debt to the amount of i),000,00. The statement of the debt, however, which lias been published by the Treasury Depart ment, shows that the actual reduction has been li,4l0,l82T4, at which rate the whole debt could be paid ofl- in about fifteen years. It cannot, however, be expected that so large a reduction will be made every month, but vith discreet management the debt could probably be liquidated within the time spec www (U ttc saaiv Imw. THE DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS. Anna the roughs and rowdies of the Demo cracy had for three days swayed their County Convention, making the most disgraceful nominations that were ever presented to the citizens of Philadelphia, the pecforminces were not considered complete without the adoption of a string of resolutions. The first of the series announces that "upon the actual issues of the day the best guide will be found in the principles upon which our Government is founded, as declared by the fathers of the republic." The "actual issues of the day" immediately connected with the proceedings of this convention relate to the question whether its nominees should be endorsed at the polls, and we think the fathers of the republic would be much better pleased by their overwhelming defeat than by their election. The success of popular gov ernment depends upon the dominance of vir tue, intelligence, and patriotism in the orga nizations which wield ruling power. The Democratic Convention was notoriously con trolled by the worst influences of that party; its ticket is the offspring of knavery, vio lence, terrorism, and corruption; and the election of men of the grade of its champions is the very last thing the fathers of the re public coidd ever have desired. Other reso lutions express solicitude for the "rights of the States" and antagonism to colored suf frage. -sU'he people have loamed by bitter ex perience what mischiefs flow from Democratic State Rights doctrines, and they have no in clination to endorse any modified form of rebellion or secession. As to colored suffrage, the negroes must indeed be sorry specimens of humanity if they do not make a better use of citizenship than the members of the late De mocratic County Convention. The foes of the Colored race can predict or fear nothing worse than that they will prove as bad as the men who have recently controlled the movements of the Democracy of Philadelphia. The last two resolutions commend the new candi dates as "men entitled to the confidence of the community," and pledge the party to re trenchment, and "the reform of every abuse that can" give occasion for complaint." Im pudence could no farther go. The assemblage at Eighth and Spring Garden streets was as unpromising a body of reformers as ever met on the continent, gangs of convicts not ex cepted. The sort of reform that would best suit their tastes would be the destruction of every shield of public and private virtue, the abrogation of every restraint upon vice aud lawlessness, and the establishment of the rule of luflianihm and rascality. Drawing it Mild. The Age this morning devotes twenty-seven lines to an endorsement of the Democratic ticket, in the course of which it says: "We do not consider the ticket as popular as if might have been, aud as we labored zealously and honestly to make it." In this dilemma it takes the bull by both horns, with the lamentation that "fidelity to organization is the only safeguard of a party." We think the Age is about correct, when a pai ty saddles itself with such millstenes, as Ahern, Stewart, and Hurley. RAILROADS IS THE VSITED STATU. Tub importance of railroad facilities in tbe I'nited States Is perhaps better appreciated now than at any former time iu the hlBtory of the country. We hare such an Immense extent of country yet unde veloped, and the boundaries of our dominion are so widely separated, that without numerous ruilroads intersecting aud connecting: with one another It would probably be Impossible to maintain a politi cal union between people so widely separated as are those of some of the States. The first railroad for passengers was opened In 1831, and since then the progress of railroad building has been as follows : 1'ear. Year. lwti 23 miles, isfts 18,374 miles. 1H30 1273 " 18C0 80,030 " 1840 8818 " 1805 S.V080 " 1848 4633 " 1807 39,270 " I860 9020 " 1868 42,250 " It is estimated that at the present time over forty three thousand miles of railroad are in actual opera tion. Pennsylvania leads all the States, having four thousand and four hundred miles; Illinois ranks second, and Ohio and New York, which have nearly the sam number of miles, come next. The follow ing table gives those States that have over 1000 miles of railroad : MiU: t Mil ft. Pennsylvania 4400 Missouri 1400 Illinois 84.V) Virginia 1480 Ohio 8400 Tennessee 1440 New York 8400 Wisconsin lgno Indiana 2600 Michigan 1200 Iowa 1560 North Carolina 1100 Georgia 1680 South Carolina low Massachusetts 1450 The amount of capital Invested In these roads is of course immense, and a comparison between them and the banks will show the importance or the railroad Interests : Banks, national, 1C30; capital, 1969... Banks, State, 240; " ... 4-20,0O0,OOO 07,000,000 Total, United States 93,0oo,0O0 Railroad, 43,oo0 miles in operation in tlie United States, cost 11,870,000,000 The earnings of the banks may be estimated at from fifty to sixty millions of dollars, or from ton to twelve per cent, on their capital, while the earnings of tbe railroads in the United States amounted to 1400,000,000, as follows: From freight... ,..1280,000,000 From passengers 120,000,000 a sum exceeding largely the entire yearly revenues of the Government. The number of miles and the capital Invested in railroads In this country, as compared with Great Britain, are very nearly as follows : .. , , Mihs. (!. I nited States 4:1,0011 l,87i),ooo,000 Great Britain 14,600 2,5io,ooo,ooo "According to the most reliable information ou the subject, there are in the whole of K 11 rope about 56, 700 miles or railroad, which cost about $7,600,000,000. The Increase In the number of miles or railroad constructed in the United States at dltlereut periods, presents some Interesting figures. From 1840 to 1860 the Increase was over two hud dred per cent. ; rrom I860 to I860 the increase was about in the same ratio; rrom I860 to 1870 it is esti mated that the Increase will be about lirty percent., or rrom 30,000 miici in I860 to 45,ooo miles In 1870. In Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, aud In many or the Western States, great ex ertions are being made to iucrnuse the railroad fucl llties for the development of internal resources; and now that the Pacific Railroad is completed, what is now a wilderness will probably soon be covered with a network or iron rails, which will open np the waste places of our empire for cultivation and civilization. THE PANTOMIME A T THE ARCH. Tub Arch Street Theatre has, by a long course of excellent management, obtained a reputation as a placo of amusement of the highest class, where decent people can go, with themselves and their fumiiics, without rear or being offended by black guard exhibitions or any kind on the stage. Such a reputation as this ought nut to be Impe rilled, and It Is therefore with sincere regret that wo alluded yesterday to certain excessively disgusting features that have been Introduced into the panto mime or llumpty Dwnpty, now being performed there.

The fun in a pantomime is always of a rather rough kind, hut It is not open to censure on that - account, If it does not overstep the iKHinds of propriety. Thera no reason why such a performance cannot be decent a well as funny, and at such an establishment as the Arch it will have to be decent, or It will not succeed. Such an extinction as we alluded to yesterday 1 a disgrace to any place of amusement, and the decent people iu the audience should show their displeasure by hi&Mngly it heartily and then leaving the house. A lesson of this kind would probably bring Mr. Denier to his senses, and teach him that such nastiuess is not to be endured in a place of amusement where gentlemen expect to be able to take their wives and children without having them shocked by vllenes that would be disgraceful In the lowest slums of the city. We advise the theatre-going public to shun the theatre until t!ie evils of which we speak are abated, upou which we will give due notice. SPEOIAL. NOTICES. gST THE SUMMER.
