HOUSEMAN, STOKES, DAVIS, DUNN, AD AIRE, CLOUD, AND HONG. The Democratic journal are at last rallying to the support of "the ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket. luo Mercury, after clearly demonstrating that the worst men wero nominated in the worst pos siMe way, now announces its determination to support them on the ground that they are not inferior to the Ifoimblican nominees. Nothing plcasos the plundering politicians Letter than such servile submission. They rejoice in tho opportunity of having thoir tricks forgiven and their crimes condoned on the ground that tho welfare of a party re quires their election. If, after tho shameful spectacles which have disgusted the decent men of both organizations, this course is uni versally adopted, local politics will become more degraded and disreputable than ever, and future efforts to promote reform will be attended with increased difficulty. A begin ning must be made somewhere. If tho dis satisfaction produced by glaring partisan out rages of every description is to uniformly end in an endorsement of the men and things complained of, purification will be simply impossible, and party manipulations will go on from bad to worse, until not a vestige of honesty, decency, or justice is left. The bulk of the Democratic ticket is so bad that it is beneath criticism. Every yillainous e x pedient that wicked imaginations could suggest was resorted to by the victors in tho Demo cratic Conventions, and the character of tho nominees corresponds with the means they used to win their doubtful honors. Our especial business at this time, however, is with the Republican household. In it better things are expected. It cannot maintain its existence by blind traditions or unreasoning prejudices, and it must rely for success upon the cordial approval of its proceedings by the virtue, intelligence, and patriotism of the community. We have received a number of communica tions from the friends of Mr. Houseman, urging us to refrain from further opposition to his pretensions, and expatiating upon his personal virtues. It will be remembered that we have made no attacks upon his private character, nor is it our intention do so here after. We have charged against him that ho was thejfavorite of the "Gas King," which has ex ercised such an obnoxious influence upon the Republican organization in this city, and that his friends in the convention resorted to un fair means to procure his nomination. We believe these charges to be strictly true. They are pertinent to the issue. They should be remembered and acted upon at tho polls. It is a general principle of law that fraud vitiates all contracts. By fraud Mr. Houseman pro cured his nomination, and the implied obliga tion of Republican voters to support him in October next is thoroughly cancelled by this fact. We believe that if he should be de feated for the reasons stated, more good than harm would thereby result to the Republican partj, because another needed lesson would be given of the necessity of just dealing in its partisan councils. As to the six renominated Republican mem bers of the last Legislature, Messrs. Stokes, Davis, Bunn, Adaire, Cloud, and Hong, every man of them should be defeated. If your enemy cheats you once it is his fault. If you give him a chance to cheat you a second time the fault is your own. These faithless members have clearly shown, by their legisla tive record, that they care nothing for the welfare of their constituents, and that they wish to return to Harnsbnrg only to m ike further betrayals. They stand condemned by their own votes and speeches. Since they insist upon an appeal to the people, in spite of their delinquencies, we hope no Repub. lican will be restrained by partisan considera tions from passing upon them the sentence of condemnation which they so richly de serve. If we are ever to have creditable legislators we must begin by refusing to ex tend the official term of those who are known to be unfaithful. MODERN IDEAS IN JAPAN. The account furnished by Lieutenant-Com mander Uraatord, of tho United States steamer Aroostook, of the naval battle near Hakodadi last May, is a curious instance of tho progress that has been made by the Japanese in modern ideas. It was but a few years ago that Japan was practically an unknown coun try. American enterprise and diplomacy suc ceeded in breaking down thi barriers of ex clusivenesB, ana reveaieu to me woria a Deonle of remarkable intelligence and of a peculiar but undoubtedly high grade of civili zation. Both the Japanese and Chinese ap pear to have felt that the preservation of their cherished systems could only be accomplished bo non-intercourse with the outside world; but, unlike the Chinese, the people of Japan, or at least a very large proportion of them, showed an eagerness to learn and to profit by the example of the new races with whom they were brought in contact. All observers unito in the opinion that the Japanese are, as a nation, far more civilized, enlightened, and intelligent than the Chinese, and one proof of this is thoir anxiety to avail themselves of all the great improvements and inventions of modern Eu ropean and American culture. In the naval fight referred to several American-built and armed vessels were engaged, including the famous Rebel iron-clad Stonewall, which was Bold to the Japanese a few years ago by our Government. When the Japanese begin to fight each other after the American fashion, with iron-clad steamers and eleven-inch guns, they have already taken a huge step towards reaching the American ideal of progressive civilization. But it is not in their warfare alone that the Japanese have shown their willingness to learn something. They are steadily making improvements in their method of government and in their internal affairs gonorally. Many of their troops are armed and uniformed and drilled after the Western fashion, but so far from being mere imitators, as the Chinese frequently are, they appear to adojt improve ments with judgment, and with a discrimi nating knowledge of thoir actual requirements. There are now evidences of a general disposi tion among the most intelligent men of the em pire to throw down all the restrictions to inter communication, and to endeavor to place themselves on a level with the most advanced nations. Considering tho jealousy with which tho Japanese for centuries with held themselves from all inter course with the outside world, these changes are certainly wonderful as well as gratifying. With tho opening of the IV cific Railroad, and the rapid increase of popu lation on our Pacific coast, the intercourse between the people of the United States and those of Japan will become more intimate every year; and it especially becomes ms to pr nioto a friendly feeling with them, and to olVrr all due aid and encouragement to those who are laboring to raise this ancient and most interesting people to a moral and intel lectual level with ourselves. Thoro is no doubt that both China and Japan are destined to exert a great influence on the future of this country; and a cordial sympathy with them in their efforts to catch up with us in the race of civilization will have its proper effect in promoting good feeling and har mony hereafter. HIE DANGERS OF SEA BATHING . In recording tho first fatal mishap of the sea son at the seashore, it is our duty to renew the warning so often made against recklessness and foolhardiness while enjoying tho plea sures and benefits of our seaside watering places. Last year the drowning cases were numerous, and they had the effect of exciting an undue prejudice against surf-bathing, even r.mong persons who were not constitutionally timid. It has been a matter for sincere con gratulation that hitherto during the present bathing season no unfortunate occurrences have marred the pleasure of the visitors at either Cepo May or Atlantic City. It would seem to be impossible, however, notwith standing all precautions, to get through a season without loss of life, and we accord ingly have intelligence from Cape May that a gentleman was drowned yesterday, in spite of every effort to save him. This terrible misfortune was due to the same cause that has produced a very large majority, if not all, of the drowning cases at the seashore. The bather ventured beyond his depth and was unable to control himself in the surf, and before aid could reach him he was overwhelmed by the waves. The oldest halUutx of Capo May and Atlantic City assert positively that there is no danger at either place to bathers if they will only ex ercise common prudence. It is hard to teach some persons what this is, however, and nothing but an unfortunate occurrence like that of yesterday will prevent them from reck lessly exposing their lives. How far the un fortunate man who was drowned yesterday w as to blame it is impossible for us to tell. He in all probability did not know what his danger was, having in the excitement of bathing allowed himself to be carried out further than was prudent. The exemption from any such fatalities that our watering- places have enjoyed hitherto this season must, in a great measure, be attributed to the sad warnings of last year; but it suggests whether still further precautions and safeguards might not be provided at the bathing places, so as to reduce the chances of drowning to a minimum. In any case, however, much will depend upon the bathers themselves, and life-boats, life lines, and other means of preventing acci dents will avail nothing if persons will per sist in unnecessarily exposing themselves to peril. TWO SOUTHERN ELECTIONS. Dcbino the present week elections are held in three of the Southern States, Kentucky. Alabama, and Tennessee. The contest in Kentucky takes place to-day, and is of about as much significance and consequence to the country at large as an election in the State of Vermont. Members of both houses of the State Legislature are to be chosen, and a State Treasurer also. The Republican candidate for the latter position is Rumsey Wing, his Democratic opponent being J. W. Tate, the present incumbent of tho office. The vote for President last November stood 39,rC(i for Grant to 115,889 for Seymour a majority of 70,313 for the latter. The Democratic ma jority being so overwhelming, and no great issue r.t stake, there will probably be a light vote polled, but sufficiently large, doubtless, to give Mr. Tate a majority of r.0,()00 or (10,000, with an overwhelming majority in both houses of the Legislature. In the last Legislature the party division was as fol lows: , Mid Republicans g'- Democrats '.'.'.'.'.M 9" jj Democratic majority 22 82 Total8- 38 loo T I. 1 r ... 104 las uiaj, uo lttt,eu i or grauteu that in the next Legislature the two partios will secure about the same comparative numerical strength, and lint.

'lo-morrow the Stat election in Alabama will take place, the officers to be chosen being members 01 congress ana 01 the Legislature. In this State the distinct lines of the two great national partios are still preserved, there being no such anomaly as opposing candi dates occupying practically the same platform and equally anxious to secure the colored vote, as was presented by the recent contest in Virginia. As some indication of the result of the legislative contest, we give the status of the last Legislature, which was as fol Sennit, Republicans 82 Democrats 1 Republican majority ..31 White .Til Colored 1 White majority 31 82 13 114 14 100 74 ai urn S4 Total 33 5 lis But the State is not so ovorwholmingly Re publican as this showing would seem to indi cate. The registration mado previous to tho voting upon the new Constitution, last year, footed up 77,2."() whites and !.'l,4:Sl blacks, a total of 17(),(;H4. Tho old Robel ele ment stood entirely aloof, as they had done on tho question of a conven tion for framing a constitution, in 17, and while 80,318 votes were given for the now constitution, there were only about 500 against it, 130 of these being cast by eccen tric freedmen. At the election for State officers and members of Congress, in the early part of 1 808, the same stand was taken by the majority of tho whites, William II. Smith being elected Governor by a vote of 00,021, with no opposition. When it came to the Presidential election, however, there was a lively contest, Grant receiving 70,300 and Seymour 72,080 a majority of only 4280 for the former. At the Congressional election of last year there was no opposition whatever to the regu lar Republican candidates in the first four districts, whilo in the Fifth district the regular nominee had two opponents, and in tho Sixth three, but in neither of these did the opposi tion vote amount to much. Consequently it is impossible to give figures which will throw any light upon tho possible result, but the success of all the Republican candidates is probable. The rival nominations for Con gress are as follows: DM. HrpiMican: 1. Alfred K Duck. 2. Charles W. Buckley. 8. Roberts. IlcllUl. 4. Onirics Haves. ft. William J. Haralson. 6. John J. Hinds. Demnrm', William I). Maun. A. N. Worthy. J. C. I'arkiiisou. John R. Reed. Peter M. Dox. William C. Shcrrod. In the Fourth district, where the Republi can candidate last year received the large vote of 10,034, without any opposition, tho Democracy at first regarded their cause as hopoless, and their convention adjourned without making a nomination. General Dustan, an independent Republican candi date, had the prospect of the Democratic support until quite recently, when Dr. John B. Reed was announced as an independent Democratic candidate. It is said, however, that he has failed to rally his entire party to his support. Charles W. Buckley, tho can didate in the Second district, is the only member of the Fortieth Congress who has secured a renomination. St. Louis is working herself up into a state of very great excitement on the subject of the removal of the national capital. A pre liminary meeting has been held, and a mon ster mass meeting is in contemplation, and ways and means for securing tho great object upon which her heart is now fixed are sug gested by the score. We regret that we can not join hands with the disinterested patriots who are moving in this matter. If the capi tal is to be removed from Washington, Phila delphia is the place for it. The Penn Squares would be just the site for the princip d build ing, and if they are too small, it will be an easy matter to clear away the space surround inc them to the distance of half a mile or more. The White House could be erected on Logan or Rittenhouse Square, while Smith's Island would be the most delightful spot in the wide wide world for a President's summer residence. The different buildings required for the departments could be strung along Broad street, and that grand thoroughfare could then be paved, from end to end, with the Nicolson blocks, at the expense of the National Government. And within a month after the permanent removal to this city of all the paraphernalia and personnel of gov ernment, New York would sink to the dead level of Marcus Hook and other abandoned seaport towns. General Sickles has presented his ere dentials to Marshal Serrano, the Spanish Re gent, and been received in the most flattering manner. It was freely predicted that our new minister's past record would render his appointment to this diplomatic post distaste ful to the society of the Spanish capital, and that he would be tendered anything but a cordial reception. But it would seem that the Spaniards are either ignorant of his career, or regard his shortcomings as of no material consequence, for the Regent was so gracious as to pay him a hieh personal tribute, concluding with the assurance that President Grant could not have made a selection that would have been more gratifying to the Spanish people. Whilo all this does not cause us to believe that the appointment of General Sickles was a judicious one, it is still a matter of gratification to learn that there is to be no grand scandal resulting from it. Tho American legation in Spain has been the occasion of quite enough unfavorable comment of late, and if General Sickles is permitted to reside in Madrid without giving rise to another instalment, the blunder made by his appointment will not result so seriously as it might have done. . The Chinese Question is about receiving a practical solution at Omaha. The men em ployed in constructing the railroad bridge over the Missouri river at that point are on a strike, and the contractor has despatched an agent to San Francisco to secure the services of a gang of pig-toiled and squint-eyed la The advent of John Chinaman at I this comparatively Eastern point will mark an epoch in the history of the country, anu ine successful introduction of Chinese labor east of the Rocky Mountain range in this single instance will prove but the beginning of a grand invasion of the flowery celestials. The chances are, however, that the attempt to finish the Omaha bridge with Chinese labor will result in a conflict between tho now comers and the strikers. PERILS OF THE SEA. Wrrrk nf tlir Mn.vn-.llnro Nrnr Yoknhnmn J.onnol I .He A llrrulc ( oiiiiiiniirirr. The Jni'iin Gazette gives the following account of a ditint-trouH occurrence in Japanese waters: The steamer Huva-tnaro was wrecked on a rock, some seventy miles from Yokohama, June 17, and went down. She was steaming at a speed of about fourteen knots, and when about two hundred yards to tho eastward of the, Plymouth rocks sho struck violently on a sunken rock. After striking, the vessel grated, surged to and fro, and suddenly stopped but for an Instant from the chock. CiiplHin Hill then (rave orders to run her in shore, but the moment she was clear of the rock or three revolutions afterwards the stem took the water, and she went dowu bodily in about fony fathoms. At the moment she struck nearly all hands were on deck, but perfect coolness and discipline w ere maintained, there being only a rush to the boats on tlic part of the Chinese. Captain Hill was calmly giving further orders in tlio hope of saving his passengers and cargo, when ho was accosted by the chief olliccr, who said: "You hud better'look after yourself, Captain Hill; it is nil over with the vessel," to which the brave man replied: "Never mind 1110 look after yourself;' and a few moments later was engulfed with his ship. One boat was lowered and got away in snlely from tho wreck, picking up those of tho survivors whom they could tind, aud then making lor the shore, their progress being, however, elow, as they were pulling but two oars. Sonic went overboard with tho violence of the shock, ('ne of the survivors was seated 011 tho deik with Mr. Wainwright, and went down with the vessel, but fortunately came up unharmed. aud managed to swim clear of the wreck; he then endeavored to make for the shore, but the current setting out rendered it impossible. So, reserving his strength lie Kept huusclt alloat lor some time on an oar that had been given him in the water by one ot me oincers. At one time he was pulled under tho water by some poor soul struggling for life. The other passenger w ho was saved was also pulled under water in the same manner, and twice nearly drowned. They remained In the water upwards of an hour, and at the moment when exhaustion was over powering them, were picked up by tho boat, which had put off again from tho shore to the rescue. Tho survivors being now all afloat, search was made on the beach for anything that might have washed up from the wreck, but nothing was found except a bale of cotton yarn, by means of which the chief ollieer had lloiited for a conside rable time towards the shore, when he was picked up. Two large native boats were pro cured, and the coast searched for. three or four miles ou either side of the bay, but without any result. A landing was not made, as the senodes did not like to take their boat into the surf, but a Yacouin who was sent to make inquiries, re ported that the villagers knew nothing of the wreck, ncr had they seen anything wash up on the beach. About 4 o'clock tho Olago weighed anchor, and being joined by those w ho had been engaged in the search along the coast, headed for Yokohama, where, with colors at half-mast, she arrived about 0 o'clock. The following is a list of those who are miss ing: Crew Captain Hill; Mr. Watt, Second En gineer; two Japanese firemen; one Chinese fire man; two cooks; one carpenter; ouo steward. Passengers Messrs. Marrison, Wainwright, Kalle, Mullcr, Jachitnck, a pianist; one China man; six Japanese. The rock on which the vessel struck was found to be about six feet below water, and about 200 yards to the eastward of the Plymouth Hocks, with deep soundings all around it; tho same account is given of it by the native fishermen, who added that at high tide it is covered by twelve feet of water. It is supposed to be the spot where the Nepaul struck two or three years ago. We believe its positiou is not defined 011 the charts, there being merely "shoal" marked in the vicinity of the Plymouth Kocks. When examined yesterday, there wero marks where the steamer had struck and shattered tho rock. The Japanese Times gives tho following addi tional particulars: The disaster appears to be due, as in the case of the Nepaul in 186T, to skirting the well-known "Plymouth Rock" too closely. A little after 8 P. M., when dinner was over, and passengers aud officers on deck enjoying tho hour after their meal, w bile the vessel was going fourteen knots, her engines making ninety-eight revolutions per minute, the struck upon the same danger as the Nepaul. Apparently she went right over the rock, and want down almost immediately according to the best information we can get, in seven minutes. Had the engines been at once reversed, so that the ship could have been retained in her position on the rock, she might have remained suspended there long enough to have enabled all in her to have got away from her at leisure; but it would seem that Captain Hill hoped to be able to run her ashore, after clearing the point on which she was hanging, and directed his efforts to that end. Slightly built, however (she was originally constructed for a blockade-runner in the American civil war), her bottom was literally torn out of her, and she sank as soon as she got over into deep water, and has left not a rack behind. One solitary bale of cotton is all that remains of her cargo; this must have come up through her side, and was of some service in supporting the first mate, until finding it rolling too much, he abandoned it for a floating spar. The way in which the European passengers met their death was pitiable. All, except M. Jachimek, who would not leave his cabin, were being lowered from the side of the sinking ves sel, in one of the boats, and fully content with their position, the sea being smooth and shore w ithin three miles of them, when one of the falls wag cut or let go, slipped through the block at the davit, and the boat, instantly perpendicular, shot them all out into sea. AI. le Condo de Mouton, a strong swimmer, struck out at once for shore, which he 'cached after being nearly two hours in the water, aud Mr. Cream was picked up by the Quartermaster's boat which, after landing her freight of Chinamen and Japa nese, returned to look for survivors from the wreck. Those of tho crew who were saved had mostly reached the laud in another boat. SPECIAL. NOTIOES.
