The Prmnrrntle Cnndldntm for Cltt nA Conntv onirra Heslsn The Ezecntlve Com mlttro Pntrhes op a New Ticket. It was tio much for them. They couldn't stand the pressure, and so resigned. Tho discord and dlsatrec-tinn-which had agitated the Democratic camp ercr since they were pnoed In nomination worked npon them to such an amazing extent, that last evening Duncan, Hurley, Sohelble, Ahem, and Stewart followed the example of Mr. Fry. They threw tip their nominations. The serenity of the Democratic sky was first disturbed by the Thunderbolt of Fry's resignation; and what could they do less than add to the confusion by coming after with like though lesser bolts? They have committed a kind of political suicide. They have shelved themselves, for which let the city and eonnty rejoice. Last evening not quite the whole city was at the headquarters of tho Democratic As sociation of Pennsylvania, corner of Ninth and Arch streets; still, a pretty respectable crowd was there. Intense anxiety dwelt on every face. Momentous things were transpiring, and the outsiders knew It, The Insiders were the members of the Democratic City Executive Committee. About half-past seven o clock these latter gentlemen began arriving from their various wards, and passed into the room designated for their use a sort of political ttar Chamber. As each nnoshowed himself he was assailed wltn caeer questions, beset like a hedgehog with dogs, and Just about as unsuccessfully. He would brlBtle up, and answer etiigmatlca ly. If he hnd been askea the stale of his health, we suppise ho would not have known. "This 'ere sort o' thing means sum Ing, don't It?" queried the unterrltied among themselves, and they were not far from tne head o1 the nail. Alter the committee had organized at 8 o'clock, tho Chairman, John Hamilton. Ksq., calling it to order, the roll showed that twenty-four members were present. Amid a significant, but not bewildered sllencf, the resignation of Mr. S. Gross Fry (previously published), as candidate for City Treasurer, was then road. After the lapse of a moment, the following interest ing uuciiiucni was presented i jouoiim iiminiTon, ur., r.l live Comniitton! Keq , Chairman of the City Kxecu- Hie unriei-Higned, nominee of the Democratic party for City and County Officea, hoR leave to prenont to vou their rcKiiinations of tho respective positions for which they wc-ie helected. Owinp to the many ctrcuinRtancea familiar to you. an1 which it ia unnecessary now to dinousa, there is in our party much clisfcatislactiun with the ticket, and in many plnces with the manner in which it was selected. 'I his state of affairs we believe it to be the duty of true Di moeralH to do tlioir utmost to correct; and while we believe we were fairly and properly nominated, we feel that no personal desires or wishes on this subject should interfere with the discharge of the obligations we owe to our party and the people. W ith the earnest desire to bring about entire harmony in the party, and to contribute all in our power for its nc cess, wo surrender all personal feelings on this subject, and place in your hands our resignations. We beg leave in doing this to suggest to you that prompt action is necessary in older to organize the party and pre pare energetically tor tho coming campaign ; and that, in asmuch as there will not be time to reconvene tho various conventions, in order to nominate a now ticket; and it limy be desirable to avoid th discussion of whether the old convention or one under the new rules should be called; that the City Executive Committee, thaadinittod fnd recognized organ of tho party, immediately take such action in the premises as will enable them to place such a ticket before tho public as will command the support of all sectionsof the Democratic and Conservative people of the city. We have the honor to be your fellow-citizens, ('. M. IIURI.KY, Wl. F. MCHRIKhK, JOHN P AHKRN. JA.MKS STEWART, CHAKMCS B. DUNCAN. The members of the committee were well nigh overcome by the foregoing heroic sacrifice of self, and their feelings overflowed. Thev wept tears as salty as the drops from a mackerel's tail. One of them, however, at length found voice to move that the resignations be accepted, and the motion was carried. Again, another one of them moved that, in view of the impossibility of convening a convention in accordance with the rules now governing the party, the committee proceed to select candidates to till the vacancies occasioned by the declinations. Whereupon the following gentlemen wero unani mously selected by the retiring candidates that la Ahem Eelected Sellers, Hurley selected Brenner, an i soon as the Democratic standard-bearers for the ensuing election; City Treasurer -William C. Patterson. City Commissioner Major John R. Cjxe. Recorder of Deeds John G. Brenner. Prothonotary of tho District Court, Washington J. Jackson. Clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions, David W.

During the concision Trepner is alleged to have assaulted the proprietor. When the police arrived ho was arrested.

THE COAL-MINE HORROR. How the Miners Itcceive the Verdict. A writer from Scran ton yesterday savs: The verdict rendered by the Coroner's Jury at Plymouth excited little comment here to-day. The recommendation that in all places where practicable two places for egress and ingress be made, aud a more perfect ventilation secured, was anticipated. On the other point, of the fire originating from the furnace, a difference of opinion still prevails, not quite reconciled oy th conclusion of the jury; but as they had all the evidence on both sides before them, and two of their number were practical, Intel ligent miners, while the other fonr brought the logic of common tense to bear upon the question, it is safe to trust these united opinions in the absence of posi tive knowledge. As to the origin of the fire, the story of Incendia jlsm may now be considered exploded, yet it ema nated from tho miners of Hyde Park, and was sus tained by severnl of them on the inquest. The Miners' Union of Wilkcsbarre said, in their published card, that no one believed It, though the testimony showed that several did. Their attempt to impugn the veracity of the reports was prompted by an animus against a local paper In this city, which has never hesitated to tell plain truths to the miners. The general effect of the verdict may be called tranquillizing. THE NEW YOltK MONEY MARKET. The following extracts snow the state of the New York money market yesterday : from the Herald. "Mr. Boutwell has done well so far, because ho has always acted deliberately. In the spring strin gency in money he bought bonds and gave the moT ney market the advantage of a generous distribution of currency. When the gold gamblers locked up gold he sold gold and defeated their plans, so that the merchants who had to make their remittances iu the Btinnner were able to buy all the way down to 131,1.!. He comes now at a time when another coa spiracy is reported in the gold market, but he is met at the door of his old plan by an outcry from the bondholders that if he attempts to sell gold he will tighten the mouey market and derango the already flattering condition of the fall trade. Tho bondholders say sell the gold directly for bonds anything so long as their plan is put, In operation. It is, or should be, tho wish of every one in tho coun try to see gold lower. Every decline in the premium Is a step nearer the full restoration of the national credit. But haste towards such a desirable end should be made slowly, lest tho pathway be strewn with bankruptcies. If we can continue to reduce the premium on the precious metal year by year it will be a fust enough approach to specie payments. In this view the bondholders are right in trying to induce the Secretary to exchange his gold for their bonds. The gold tnus given to tV.e market would occasion a decimo in the premium. But here an other set o( L-lrcumstanoes is presented for Mr. Bout V.Virs consideration. The only people who wish gold hean at this season are the few merchants wno have borrowed gold iiut'.ad of remitting bills of exchange in the summer wnen their payments be came ileie. Those wiio wish to sec gold higher are the great body of produce and cotton merchants who constitute so important, an element oi uie c.mi- mcrcliil community. They gay to Mr. Boutwell, Don't interfere with the market-' Their reason is their desire to market ttieir goods in Kurope for tho greatest sum of greenbacks possible. They further say to him, "If the importing merchant has nit r- muted v lien ne snouiu nave none so, auu wiich ms calculations of nroilt were made on the former price Of gold, then by paying with borrowed gold, expect ing to get it ntu'K cucapur,ue nasciiangeii uiscuiuw: ter froni;amiiiiporting merchant to a gold 'bear.' ' Such are some oi tne considerations which hmuuhi woih with the Secretary of the Treasury. In former years we paid for our Eun pean goods- when gold was highest, and sold our home goods to Kurope when gold was lowest. We paid out gold in summer when tt was niirn, ano we received goin in wilim miou n was cheaper Wh it a masterly stroke of tl nation it would be on the part of Mr. Boutwell should ha re. verse the old luie, anu let us sen our gouns iur uw best prices. "and buy at the lowest! Tho gold market to-day was quiet and strong at i!iftU30. The rise was duo to tne anay in mr. uuuwcu rinm,a'ra the decline In the afternoon to Hie prospective s tlj of a million of gold at the Sub-Treaury to-morrow. "Foreign exchange was weaK anu lower, priori bankers' sight sterling selling, as low as 10 v,. There is a large amount oi borrowed bins ior saie In the market, which the holders expect to cover witli lower gold and lower rates of exchange in tho winter. Francs were weak. "Money was easy at seven per cent., wnicn was the rate without exception all around. Commercial paper was still dull, except at extreme rates. Very little was done under twelve per cent. 'The (iovernment Douirlit two millions ui uve- twenties pursuant to the programme for September. The offerings amounted to over six millions. "The large offerings at ino ami-Treasury auu ino unsettled feeling iu . stocks kept tho tioveruinent market dull despite the (iovernment purchases, aud prices remained stcaay." The Cuban Honda. .

Boutwell's Efforts to Defeat the Bull Movement in New York Modifi- catioxis of the Revenue Law Prosperity of the South A Terri ble Double Murder. FROM WASHINGTON. Prosperity of the South. Uptcial DenpaUh to The Keening Telegraph, Washington, Sept. 16 The prosperity of the South warrants a statement that the Internal reve nue receipts from that section will be nearly fifty per cent, greater for the present liseal year than for last year. MoriiHrntlon of the Revenue Law. Among the modulations of the Revenue law that will undoubtedly be recommended to the next Con- f ress will be a tax of one cent per pound on cotton, t Is believed that such a tax will yield fully Ufteen million dollars a year. This It Is presumed is cogi tated with a view of relieving Northern manufactu rers, and would find favor with tho Congressmen to the extent of enabling them to repeal that portiou of t he law Imposing special taxes. Drlniie Cotierntlvp. It Is snld that Commissioner Delano Is alow about making change of revenue officers, in Pennsylvania and elf-ewlierc, who reiuso to co-operate with the party In power. Dolam is a good deal of a conser vative, aiid does not consider that a man should be removed because he refuses to support the Repub lican party. In answer to the pressure brought to bear uptn him for the removal of obnoxious officials, Delano refers all parties to the President. Income AnKeiimfntw. Commissioner Delauo has determined to tho roughly hlft the Income assessments, and to this end has apii)liited a large number of assistant assessors, whose special duty it will be to reassess Incomes. Commissions have already been Issued, and work will commence in the large cities immediately. The Hull .Movement. If, on Investigation, the reported attempt to create a corner In gold should prove correct, It ts under stood that the Seeretary of the Treasury will sell enough of his surplus to counteract the movement for the advance in the premium. Except the gild gamblers should be able to buy up an unusually large amount, this, It Is believed, will keep the premium from going to exorbitant llgures. Horrible Double Murder. A negro named Nichols, thirty years of age, mur dered his wife and mother here this morning. He says that they refused to let him into his. own room, and menaced him with a hatchet, whereupon he took the hatchet from them, and split their heads open. They died instantly. Nichols has been ar rested. Navnl Orders. Deipatch to the Associated Prenit. WAaifiNOTON, Sept. 1ft. Surgeon Marinus Duvall has been ordered to duty at the Naval Hospital, Norfolk.
