HIE DEMAND FOR REFORM.
This true end of partisan organizations is to
Hccure good government, and when, instead
of promoting this end, their energies are
aystematicAlly prostituted to the unworthy
purpose of aiding and abetting flbe plunder
ing schemes of scoundrels, they deserve an
tagonism instead of support. In Philadel
phia, the evils connected with the present
hystem of local nominations, which have long
beea increasing, have this year culminated
in a series of unparalleled outrages, and Dem
ocrats and Republicans arealike disgusted
aud indignant with the action of the con
ventions by which they have been misrepre
sented. The whole delegate system,
as practically carried out here, is rotten
to the oore; and in a large
number of cases, a nomination, instead of
proving that the man who receives it is espe
cially worth of the support of his fellow-citizens
at the general election, only is priiiui
facie evidonce that he was a bolder and more
unscrupulous schemer than any of his com-
, petitors. Every proceeding, from the initial
step of appointing persons to hold the elec
tions, up to the final nominations, reeks with
fraud, violence, and corruption; and the
people suffer in the end not merely from the
inferiority and incompetency, but the rapacity
of the officials who, after they acquire
- posts of honor or profit, resort to dis
honest practices to reimburse themselves
for the outlay incurred for electioneering
expenses, as well as to rapidly acquire fortunes
from illegal fees, peculation of public moneys,
or bribes. In ordinary esses the outrages
which are inseparably connected with this sys
tem ai'e modified to a considerable degree by
a wholesome fear of public opinion, and by a
belief that if notoriously bad men are nomi
nated, or if unusually infamous practices are
resorted to, the people will wreak vengeance
at the polls. The common resort, when an
.. intolerably bad Republican nomination is
made, is to elect the opposing Demo
cratic candidate, and vice verm.
To some extent this favorite re
medy may be successfully applied in 18t!i),
as in former years; but, unfortunately, many
of the conventions have acted so badly that
neither of the antagonistic candidates are, on
personal grounds, worthy of support, and the
choice is narrowed down, in the present state
of the canvass, to a selection of two equally
disgraceful aspirants.
For this reason there is now a greater neces
sity for the organization of a vigorous reform
movement, and a better prospect of its suc
cess than at any former period. The
men who have really at heart
the success of the principles of the
two parties have been equally outraged. A
Democratic city contemporary regales its
readers with a homily on the superiority of
the platform adopted by the Democratic
County Convention. It lauds the rings and
rowdies who, after three da s of fraud and
terrorism, nominated Ahern, Stewart & Co.,
because they professed devotion to the Con
stitution, declared themselves champions of
free government, and espoused the. cause of
reform. It is ridiculous to pretend that these
men oared a jot for balderdash resolutions, or
that their hearts were in any other work than
the congenial task of forcing disgraceful can
tdidates upon the community. It has been
too much the habit of great parties to suffer
themselves to beoome the slaves of scoundrels,
simply beoause they make a few cheap profes
fiions of devotion to this or that principle; and
it has repeatedly happened that, after base
men have acquired power in this manner,
they have used their positions only to pluuder
and letray the public A Democratic org vn
at the State capital charges that the Democra
tic legislators Bent from this city to Harrisburg
last winter purposely promoted for a time the
Buooeaaof the Metropolitan Police bill, so
hat the Demoorats of Philadelphia would
fiend a large sum of money there to defeat its
passage, and that they would gain a share of
the plunder. Similar acts of bad faith to the
Republican party were no doubt perpetrated
by the Republican representatives. It is a
fatal mistake to suppose that the corruption
ista, who are ready on all occasions to sell the
rights of the people to the highest bidder, can
Le faithful to the true interests of the political
organizations they pretend to serve. The only
etouse for tolerating them that they hive
the one virtue of partisan fidelity, linked
to the thousand crimes which make
op the sum total of their character is
therefore fallacious, and they are as
ready, in many instances, to sell out their
party as to sell their votes to railroad specula
tors or to steam-boiler companies. If Bunn,
Adaire, Davis, Stokes, Cloud, and Hong, the un
popular Republican members who have been
renominated for the Legislature cared any
thing for the triumph of Republicanism, they
' would even now withdraw, and cease to be
'niillatones around the neck of the party. If
Mr. Houseman wishes to promote a Republi
can - triumph in Philadelphia, he- will also
retire and give a clear fiold to a candidate who
can eouuoand the united support of the orga
nization, as well as of thousands of Democrats
who are disgusted with the manner in which
their conventions were managed. But if Re
publicanism is to be doomed to drag thee
dead-weights through the canvass, and the
Demooracy, instead of profiting by Republi
can LluadoiS t bd invoked to suppoii
I heir own bad nominations, no time could be
more auspicious for the formation of an in
dfpendent or reform ticket, composed of
really gawd men of both parties, and pledged
to drive the money-changers from the politi
cal temples where they aot as priests only to
offer up the publio welfare as a continuous
sacrifice.
In the Row offices extortionate prices are ha
bitually charged for every service, and they
are managed rather with the view of plunder
ing than of serving the public. The Legis
lature has beoome a den of thieves instead of
a resort of honest law-makers. And all the
habitual evils are intensified when conven
tions present for the suffrages of the citizens
of Philadelphia candidates who are noto
riously worse than their predecessors. It is
time that decent men should refuse to be har
nessed as beasts of burden in the triumphal
cars of publio robbers and plunderers, or to
be deluded by the idea that thoy
can efficiently serve partisan interests by re
electing any of the members of the last Legis
lature, or by voting for such illegal candidates
as Houseman or Ahern. The American people
have given many proofs of their capacity for
devising means of deliveranoe from the sway
of knaves and tyrants, and it will be strange
if Philadelphians cannot prove equal to the
duty of relieving themsolves from the rule of
rounders, rings, rowdies, and rascals.
THE ELECTION IN VIRGINIA.
To-day the eyes of the whole country are
turned towards Virginia. The question of
the ratification or rejeotion of the Constitu
tion framed by the Underwood Convention
held in the winter of 18(57-08 is to be decided,
and in addition to this the people of the
State will select from the rival aspirants the
persons whom a majority of them desire to
control the State government in case the Con
stitution should be ratified. The distinguish
ing features of the so-called Underwood Con
stitution are provisions for unqualified negro
suffrage; the disfranchisement and disqualifi
cation for office of all persons who held any
civil or military position, under State or
national authority, and subsequently engaged
in the Rebellion; the subscription, on the
part of the State officers, to a rigorous and
exacting iron-clad test-oath; a home steal
system, retrospective in its action; a compli
cated system of county organization; and a
common school system, similar to that iu
vogue in nearly all of the Northern States.
The first issue joined between the old Rebel
element of the population and the new ele
ment brought into being through the agency
of the reconstruction acts of Congress, was
upon the question of negro . suffrage.
Onerous and depressing as was the military
rule established by Congress, the chivalry of
the first families presented a bold front against
the negro element, declaring their preference
for the inconveniences of military rule, when
the humiliation of a subjection to the sway of
their former slaves was the only alternative
presented. The rancor and vindictiveness
with which they assailed the proposed consti
tution from the outset induced the fear, on
the part of the reconstruction party, that the
document would be rejected by a large ma
jority. For this reason both the military
commanders and Congress have hesitated for
a full year to order an appeal to the people
upon the question. The lapse of time, how
ever, witnessed the triumph of negro suf
frage in all the lately rebellious States
which have been restored to their normal
position in the Union, the overwhelming elec
tion of General Grant to the Presidency, and
the preservation of such a radical preponder
ance in both branches of Congress, that it
was made evident to all that only by accept
ing negro suffrage could the State resume her
former relations to the General Government
and again secure the control of her own in
ternal affairs. An utter demoralization of
the conservative forces was the result. Their
candidates for State officers were withdrawn,
and their support tendered to a ticket nomi
nated by a small and insignificant clique of
Republicans, who were both disappointed
and soured by the success of Wells in securing
the nomination for Governor. Their opposi
tion to the negro suffrage clause of the pro
posed Constitution gave place to a vigorous
assault upon the disability, test-oath, and
county organization provisions, in which they
were eagerly joined by the renegade Republi
cans to the support of whose candidates they
had so opportunely come. This change of
base reacted upon the radical element, and
Governor Wells himself was forced to make
some concessions, chief among which was his
willingness to abide by the decision of the
majority in case the President, by the autho
rity of Congress, should submit the more
obnoxious provisions of the Constitution to a
separate vote, and they Bhould sustain a, defeat
at the polls, while the remaining portions
should be affirmed. This aotion placed the
opposing candidates praotically on the same
platform, with the exception that the Wells
party advocated the election of negroes to
office, while the Walker party opposed it.
In the last hours of the recent session Con
gress passed an act authorizing the President
to submit such portions of the Constitution
to a separate vote as he might deem proper
and on the 14th day of May an executive
proclamation was accordingly issued, fixing
the election for the current day. But the
President failed, to comply with all the de
mands of the white man's party. The disa
bility and tent-oath clauses, as will be seen by
the proclamation published elsowhere, were
submitted to a separate vote, but the other
objectionable features must stand or fall with
the provisions which meet the approval or
acquiescence of all parlies.
To the support of the Walker ticket the
great bulk of the old Rebel element has
rallied, and as the recent revision of the re
gistration list has largely increased the num
ber of white voters, the rosult of to-day's
contest is involved in some doubt. Thousands
of those who will vote for the Walker candi
dates will vote also against the Constitution,
casting their ballots for the conservative Re
publican ticket tu a choice LeUeeu tyro eyiU,
from one of whirl Utere can be no eecspe in
rase the constitution, entire or expurgated, is
ratified. But many, even of the unrecon
structed Itahela, will content themselves with
voting sgninst the two provisions submitted
to a separate vote, and the- adoption of the
Constitution is a matter of apparent Certainty.
The opponents of the Wells ticket maintain
that the freedunen are not very enthusi
astic in their support of it, and hope,
through their apathy, to carry the day.
The fact that the candidate for Lieutenant
Governor on the radical ticket is a negro,
also contributes to their comfort. They as
sume that the complete triumph of the Wells
party in the State at large, and especially in
the Legislature, will result in the sending of
Governor Wells to the United States Senate;
in which contingency the negro, J. D. Harris,
will become the Chief Magistrate of the Old
Dominion, occupying, and desecrating by his
occupation of it, the chair of state in which
such savory patriots as Wise and Letcher have
sat. This would be the consummation of hu
miliation, and to avert its possibility, it is
contended that no white man save such as
are hungering for the petty county offices and
seats in the Legislature, will so belittle and
degrade himself as to cast a Wist for the
radical ticket. In this way the issue stands.
The definite result of . the contest will be
looked for with the most absorbing interest
throughout the country.
N 12 IV-Y OUKISJIS,
from Our Own Correspondent.
New York, July 5. law.
The churches have begun to close, and the season
of seashore piety has commenced. The fashionable
saints of the Finn avenne houses or worship have
packed up their metropolitan piety with their church
toilettes, and Indoctrinated themselves with the
principles of watering-place religion. It la neces
sary, I presume, that ministers should go out of
town like other people, but whon a poor devil whom
nobody cares for, sees church after church closed
during the summer solstice, he may be pardoned for
wondering whether souls are not just as valuablo
for salvation purposes in hot as In cold weather.
Why should the populace be less pious because
It has more perspiration? And does the ministe
rial sore throat, which always reaches Its climax at
the beginning of June, totally exempt its clerical
sufferers from all responsibility over sweltering
charges? Does the Reverend Daisy Clover, who
bas as many pink notes dally sent him
as the dashing-looking leading Juvenile that
ever entranced a feminine matinee audience, does
he feel that he Is preaching In season and out of
season, now that he has begun his three months'
jaunt In Europe ? Are not the metropolitan church
and stage too suggestively alike in this respect?
The season is over, the curtain is down, the foot
lights are extinguished, the audience departs, the
theatre is -closed, and the aoubrette, and the heavy
man, and the leading lady, are all on their travels,
and we poor creatures at home receive occasional
glints of their doings at London and Paris and
wheronot. So with the pulpit There arrives a time
when the congregation has an indefinite perception
that the pious "season" Is over; that the religion of
the year having been scrupulously attended to during
bleak winter and raw spring (winter lingering In
the lap of May may be a very pretty Idea, bat she
aght to be spanked for doing it) may bow be laid
aside with the thick dresses, and that the garment of
praise aud undergarnrents may be simultaneously
discarded. Yes, believe me, with the watering
place season there comes a watering-place religion.
Physical and spiritual extremes meet, and the fer
vency or the body generates an lclness of the soul.
There is something being said just now in regard
to the number of absinthe-drinkers In this clty.The
scandal is not without some cause. Absinthe la
comparatively a new drink here, but, once acclima
tized, has rapidly spread its influences. Until lately
its name was almost unknown among the lists of
drinks and cordials printed on the last pages of res
taurant bills-of-fare. Now . the fourth-rate cafe has
Its absinthe, and, of course, the lower you descend
in the restaurant scale, the viler becomes this, as
every other, form of drink. Absinthe, particularly
that sold In New York, Is little more than a com
pound of poisons. Wormwood, anise-seed, flagroot,
proof-spirit, indigo, nettles, sulphate of copper, blue
vitriol, are a few of the Ingredients to give the ne
cessary taste and tincture. This pale drink is said
to be dally growing In fascination here, and to be
even supplanting among opium-eaters their cher
ished drug. In fact, it is nothing more than liquid
epilepsy, and every one who makes a habit of im
bibing it may feel sure that with each dram he has
brought himself an JJnch nearer to that dread line
which separates sanity from hopeless insanity. Its
reactionary effect upon the bralu Is so poignant,
so lnadmisslve' of antidote, that more
epileptics are manufactured from the abuse of it
than from all other means combined. And yet few
of the drinkers of this fascinating amalgam of poi
sons are fully aware of Its fatal tendencies. Not
only men, but women are among Its victims women,
fair, fashionable, and in good repute. Delmonlco's,
if It does not exactly throng with beautiful absinthe
drinkers, has at least a goodly sprinkling of them
each fine afternoon at four o'clock. And there is not
the same excuse for these polson-passlonate sinners
or Fourteenth street and Firth avenue that there Is
for the handsome Circassian who, In eating arsenic,
hopes to realize the smashed Idea or Madame Rachel
and to beoome "beautirul forever."- Absinthe has
no such embellishing power. "Ugly forever," rather,
is the fatal edict pronounced against every belle who
thus sins against the bust, the brain, the organs or
digestion, which God has given her. For absinthe
Is the very cancer among drinks, whose aim only Is
to destroy. It creates a cancer or the spirit, which
quickly devours all the finer integuments or the soul,
and hurries it down to a loathsome death. And yet
these beautirul polson-swallowers are, too, sinners
in secret, hiding from friend and physician, until the
last moment, the vice that destroys them. The habit
forma one of the dreariest Isms of New York fashion,
able life, aud I should tremble were I to attempt to
compute the probable number or those beautiful
denaturalizers or seir these rapidly-consuming
absinthe anchorites.
It U a very good thing to have a Fourth of July.
As one or the bulwarks ef our national liberties, as
a sacred Inheritance handed down to us by our fore
fathers, as the spoiled darling of the Father or his
Country, as the essence of bunoombe, and the quin
tessence or cant, the Fourth or July is undoubtedly
perfectly sound on the goose. It is a very good
' thing to think of when you are a prisoner in a for
eign land, or are lost in the desert of Sahara a very
handy thing to have In the national household, pro
vided It Is never takan out Plymouth Rock, and the
Boston tea party, ana Bunker Hill, and the battle
or Lexington, are exquisite recollections
to the Man without a Country,
and ir Robinson Crusoe had been an
American, he would have beon glad totome across
a violin on which to rosin out "Yankee Doodle."
As a shooting cracker and Roman candle reality,
however no, thank you. There are two extremes
Into one of which i naturally wish to convert my
self when the glorious Fourth arrives. One is the
Olorlous-Kourth-orator, who does bis tall talking,
and sweats and swear qmt beautifully in his self
complacency; the other la the Immortal Small Boy,
with his shooting cracker, who never "lets up"
until they are all "let off."
Do you remember "General Beuni " the real, ori
ginal "General Boum"-he of the blazing cheek
and the gleaming eye, and the "pim paffl pour I"
which never failed In iU spontaneous Joviality
through the whole history of optra bouff. In this
country? Well, the house he draw at most no w la a
flvatUtUejubUcHoufje pjer a, floea, TJlMSll
yeaterdnj opened a beautiful little restaurant, and
does drama now Instead of the drama. Ilia name., it
will be remembered, Ls Ducheane. He Is not alone
In tho enterprise, lie has been Joined In It by M.
Mercler.the managing editor or I Cnurrirr riVs Ktat.
Untm. What do you think of that ? Mercler havlnf
grown a little tired of guiding publio taste
through the columns of his paper, has added to hi
duties those of a purveyor. Are there no Philadel
phia Journalists who might go and do likewise ? I
think I know of one or two who would look mnoh
better behind tho bar of a pnblio house than In the
editorial sanctum. I was onoe told that the techni
cal name of a bar-tender waa "muddler." If my
information bt correct, and I might base my Judg
ment by the drift of their editorials, that designation
would apply to them with great happiness in both
capacities.
There are going to be a good many changes in
theatricals In this city. It is understood that Mr.
Adams will not remain at Booth's after the conclu
sion of the summer season. All previous rumors to
the contrary notwithstanding, it ls positively as
serted that the regular season will be re-established
at WaUack's towards the beginning of September,
Miss 8t Clair Phillips, from London, to do the lean
ing business In place of Miss Rose Eytlnge. Much
or the old stock company remains, but Miss
Eytlnge, Mrs. Jennings, Mr. Holland, and Mr.
Young are not a part or it The programme
at NtMo's, when Sinbad has run its course, consists
or Arrah-na-l'ogue, Lotta, the Legitimate, a super-Black-Crook
spectacle, and the lateBt eirort or Bou
clcault's BClssorlal genius. At Flak's Opera House
La I'atrie Is to be revived, with "Loose-Heel" Wes
torn In the part of "Dolores," In which poor Mrs.
Gladstone failed to please the exacting New Yorkers.
At the Academy sarcastically known as the "Cata
combs" Italian opera, with Tltlcns, ls promised.
Madame Gazzaniga also threatens to appear, but
whether as manageress or slngtst, I am not able to
say. At the Olympic, Iliooorp Du-eory Ixxik la being
docked of its usual supply of good audiences,
and the mouse will run up the clock
there for the last time very soon. What
Mr. Daly ls at about the Firth Avenue
theatre, nobody knows. Sclwyn's company have left
it and gone to Wallace's, At the Tammany a new
sensation is to be Introduced in the way of seven
teen Pa togonian peris, "In their native costume"
(?) who will supply visitors with cigars and drinks.
1 may be mistaken. To err ls human. Life is short
and time is fleeting. If I may make the remark, I
rather think that these seventeen Patagonian peris
are more nearly related to the Isle of Krln than that
of Tt rra-del-Fuego. However, time and Tammany
will shew.
And so, wishing you a glorious Fourth, and plenty
ont, I am, Am Baba.

From facts that have come to our knowledge, tt ia
evident that the attempt to open it waa renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
it useless, the effort was then made to break tho
lock. The hammering waa heard by parties in the
neighborhood for several hour, 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 la evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed la another evidence that your
Banker's Chesta are what you claim for them, Bur
glar-Proof.
Respectfully yours,

Dt. Wolcott tries to use common sense. He tells bla
patients, who have Catarrh, to use a pint bottle of hia
Annihilator in seven days, aooording to directions.
If benefited, continue to use a pint eaoh week until
