THE REPUBLICAN RULES.
Anotheb attempt wu made yesterday, in the
convention called to revise the rules of the
Bepnblioan party of Philadelphia, to base re
presentation in the city conventions npon the
number of Republican voters represented,
and we regret that this, attempt was unsuc
cessful. The party managers are too fearful of
the masses of the party to be willing to give
them a fair opportunity to express their
wishes; and an organization which is nothing
if not intensely Republican, in the most
thorough sense of the word, repudiates
Republican principles, and perpetuates the
vioiouB practices of monarchical tricksters,
in a matter of vital moment connected with
its own partisan rules. "When this flagrant
error comes to be generally understood it will
awaken deep indignation. In a partisan
point of view it is very bad policy, for the
reason that it destroys one of the strongest of
incentives to bring out a full party vote at any
given eleotion. It will often lose the Repub
lican ticket thousands of votes from this
cause alone, and at the same time
cause the loss of thousands of
other votes through the facilities it offers for
nominations which are repulsive to the 11 3
publican masses. It is akin to the English
rotten borough system, which has justly in
curred the odium of the whole civilized
world. That gave a borough which had bat
a handfull of voters as large a representation
as some large cities of Ed gland, and thus
outraged all sense of justice. The system
which the Rules Convention persists in main
taining gives to a few hundred Republicans
in some districts as much influence as thou-
Bands of voters in other districts possess; and
this wrong is, in principle, quite as bad as
the wrong embodied in the rotten boroughs
of England.
After fixing on the party the wrong already
referred to, the convention is now consider
ing a plan to adjust disputes arising from
contested seats. It has happened over and
over again that ring managers have exoladed
the fairly-elected delegates from conven
tions, and given seats to subservient to ls
who had no just claims to them. If the
rules appertaining to this matter are arranged
to suit the sohemes of wily leaders, the party
will be completely at their meroy, and
they will be able to paok conven
tion after convention with their
creatures. Whenever desperate cheating is
contemplated, a series of unjust and un
founded contests are instituted, and by the
exclusion of a considerable number of fairly
elected delegates through this trick, a
minority captures the temporary organization,
and then takes good care that the contested
seats are given to the claimants who have the
least right to them. The Rules Convention
ought to adopt rules calculated to prevent
such frauds in future, but it is to be feared
that it will concoct an ingenious plan to fa
cilitate them.
WE BROAD STREET PAVEMENT.
Humous are rife that the project for paving
Broad street with wooden pavement is to be
made a pretext for securing a contract at an
enormous price from the city. It is said
that contractors have made a combination to
the effect that they will not underbid each
other, and under this arrangement the re
presentatives of different wooden-pavement
interests will each receive a double prioe for
perf ormin g their respective portions of thejcon
templated work. Such rumors may well in
duce an overtaxed community to ask
Councils to pause before tbey create a wooden
pavement loan. If any money is to be spent
for such a purpose, tax-payers should be quite
certain that it is to be spent honestly and
judiciously. It is far better that Broad street
ehould bide her time, or that her property,
holders should themselves pave the street
before their own doors, than that tax-payers
should be fleeced by an exacting combination.
If the city is willing to spend half a million
or a million of dollars for paving the
street, it would also be well to in
quire whether such an amount could
cot be more advantageously expended on
other streets than on Broad street. Practi
cally, the great highways of the city at this
moment are the centres of the passenger
railway tracks. If thoy were put in first-rato
condition, much wou'd be done to accommo
date all who drive vehicles of any description
on our thoroughfares; and by a tax levied on
all who own drays,'cars, or carriages, it would
be easy to raise the interest on the sum ne
cessary to put the 'centre of the railway
tracks in first-rate condition, either with
wooden or other pavements.
'WAS THERE EVER SUCH AN ASS?"
"The press is a mighty engine, sir," remarked
Mr." Pott, the editor of the Eatanswill G a.
tette, to Mr. Piokwiok, shortly after he had
been made acquainted with that illustrious
gentleman in the large room on the first floor
of the Town Arms Inn. "Bat I trust, sir,"
continued the responsible editor of the Ga
zette, "that I have never abused the enormom
power I wield. I trust, hir, that I have never
pointed the noble instrument which is placed
in my bands against the sacred bosom of pri
vate life, or the tender breast of individual
reputation." And when Mr. Pott had been
assured by Mr. Terker that his contest with
theEatanswill Independent had "greatly ex
cited, no doubt," even the great world of
London, the resolute Mr. Pott declared-.
"From that contest, sir, I will never shrink,
till I have set my heel upon the Eatanswill
Independent." And at a later period ia the
career of the immortal Mr. Pickwick, that
ingenuous gentleman had the pleasure of
listening to the emphatio strains of Mr.
Pott's voice in his comfortable room
at the Saracen's Head, Towoester, as the
editor of the Eatanswill Gasette read from the
last number of his journal: "A reptile con
temporary has recently sweltered forth his
black venom in the vain and hopeless attempt
of sullying the fair name of our distinguished
and excellent representative, the Uonorable
Mr. Slumkey our reptile contemporary, we
say, has made himself merry at the expense
of a superbly-embossed plated coal-souttle,
which has been presented to that glorious
man by his enraptured constituents, and
towards the purchase of which the nameless
wretch the crawling creature our fiendish
contemporary," eto. And when the scene is
transferred to the kitchen of the Saracen's
Head, where Pott of the Gazette with his
cigar, and Slurk of the Independent with his
rum and water, are brought face to faoe, the
ears of Mr. Pickwick are saluted with an in
terchange of "atrocity," "knavery," "dirt,"
"fiUb," "slime," "ditchwater," and "malice,
meanness, falsehood, perjury, treachery, and
cant," until the climax is reached by his receiv
ing on one side the thwacks from Mr. Slurk's
carpet-bag and on the other the thrusts of
Mr. Pott's fire-shovel.
Journalistic animosity rode a high horse in
Eatanswill, as Mr. Pickwick was eventually
persuaded to believe; but a cursory glanoe
over the last number of the Anthracite Moni
tor, which is issued weekly in the ancient
borough of Tamaqua, would oonvinoe even
the incredulous Mr. Pickwick that Pott and
Slurk did not exhaust tho well of defiled and
impure English. The Monitor man starts
out with a four-line leader, couched ia these
chaste and piquant terms: "The sap-headed,
widow-swindling, old loafer, who emits his
stink in the Miners' () Journal, is informed
that we have survived his attack of Wednes
day last." It will be observed that the pmo
tuation of the Anthracite man is as merciless .
as his language, and that, by the adroit in
terposition of a comma between "widow
swindling" and "old," he has intensi
fied , both epithets, at tho same
time that ho has stood each of them
squarely on legs of its own. Then, a little
further down the column, this stone-coal man
expands the feathers of his quill and essay
a longer flight, uttering at the start the omi
nous defiance: "Let us have a few plaia
words with you, members of the M. & L. B.
A.; a few sober, qviet words, even at the risk
of having the Pottsviile lunatic accuse us of
making a damaging admission." And then,
rising to the fall dignity of the sitaation, he
shrieks out: "Answer the?e question?, some
of you blatant, semi-civilized, thoroughly
contemptible, scurrilous beasts;" to wind up
his flight, after beholding a vision of "politi
cal blatherskites" "trembling in their shoes,"
with the profound and startling query :
"Was there ever such an ass?"
Upon mature reflection, we are compelled
to admit that we don't believe there ever
was. But, really, it is a very pretty fight as
it stands an nnctaous and enlivening dis
pute, which fairly eclipses the row between
Pott and Slurk over the "superb'y embossed
plated coal-scuttle" which "the enraptured
constituents" of "the Ilonorable Mr. Shum
key" presented to "that glorious man," as an
evidence that his "amiable and touching de
sire to carry out the .wishes of the constituent
body" had "forever endeared him to the
hearts and sou's of such of his fellow-townsmen
as were not worse than swine." The
Eatanswill editors came to the final scratch
over a "coal-scuttle," and by a singular and
suggestive coincidence, the beautiful and
pathetio interchange of journalistic courte
sies up in Schuylkill county has
been brought about by the coal strike. The
term "interchange," however, is used inad
vertently, for we have searched the columns
of the Miners' Journal in vain for a line that
savors of the Eatanswill style of argument.
It is not the pot calling the kettle black, but
the reverse; the Anthracite organ throws
whole kettles full of pitch at Pottsviile, and
Pottsviile, with commendable forbearance not
unmixed with contempt, declines to return
the compliment. Wherefore we are compelled
to reassure that stone-coal man of Tamaqua
that we don't believe there ever was "such an
ass" as he professes to be in search of.
THE UNITED STATES AND ENG.
LAND.
One of the first fruits of the visit of Thomas
Hughes, Esq., to this country is the forma
tion of "The Anglo-American Committee."
We printed in full a few days ago the ciroular
Betting forth the purposes of the association,
the means by whioh it intends to work, and
the names of the men who have joiaed to
gether "to obtain the best securities for the
maintenance of a friendly understanding,
and for the cultivation of more cordial rela
tions, between the United States and Great
Britain." Mr. Hughes is foremost in thu task,
as he Las been in so many other wise under
takings, and the names of those who
have joined him are well known for the
active and intelligent zeal with which tbey
have labored in so many enterprises for polit
ical reform both at home and abroad. Lord
Hobarthas written a very exhaustive and
thorough paper in the Alabama question;
Herbert Spencer and Fowell Boxtou are
almost as well known here as in England;
Mr. Mundella made a short visit to ILU coun
try, bnt he has left a Ion? memory of his
hearty admiration of what he found good, and
his wholescnie and outspoken corre;tion of
hat be thought faulty, in our systems of
education, of trades unions, and of the other
matters in which his experience had fitted him
to be a sound judge. The men thus brought
together mean to spread sounder views of the
questions in controversy between the two
countries, and to bring togeth.r citizens of
each country outside of the range of party
1'tliticB, so that the risk of any disturbance
ef the peace that now exists between England
and Amerioa may be reduced to a minimum.
It is to be hoped that a similar effort will
be made on this aide to establish local com
mittees to co-operate with the parent associa
tion in the useful labor that they have thus
taken in hand. Nowhere in the world has bo
much been effected by organizations outside
of Government, and independent of party
politics, as in England; and, next to it, we
Btand with the enormous achievements of our
Sanitary and Christian and Freedmen's Com
missions. Just as these grew out of the
war, and aided largely in securing the result
that we all longed for, so the pre
sent necessity may be said to be
one of the memoiies of the war, and
certainly a full and free and frank discussion
of tho questions at issue between the two
countries may well be counted on to expedite
a settlement of them by quickening the ao
tions of the Governments and their officials,
and by checking the efforts of Congressmen
and others- who would make war or peace
between England and America merely stepping-stones
to help them across the turbid
stream of home politics and party strifes. We
all know that ontside of Congress and outside
of Governments, both at home and abroad,
there are men of sound minds and broad,
comprehensive intelligence, who have thought
out the questions now at issue. If they can
be brought together, and, joining to those
who are already associated for the purpose in
England, help to subdue the troublesome
doubts and uncertainties that make up the
open questions between the two countries,
there can be little doubt that the result will
be creditable to them and gratefully accepted.
WORK OF THE ANGLO-REBEL
CRUISERS.
In view of the proposed attempt at the settle
ment of the claims known as the Alabama
claims, by the joint high commission recently
appointed, the number of American vessels
captured by the Rebel cruisers fitted out in
England during the Rebellion becomes of
interest. The number of vessels captured
by eaoh of the Anglo-Rebel cruisers it re
ported to have been as follows:
By (he Alabama GJ vessels.
Mienanaoan
" Florida S
" Sumter 2l "
" Tallahassee it 14
" Tacony 15 '
" Georgia 10 '
" Jeff. Da via 8 '
" WliiHlnw 4 "

" BoHton 8
" Ecln 3
Savannah 1 "
" Lapwing 1 "
" York I "
" Conrad 1
" Tuscarora I
" Other cruisers T6 "
Making a total of 233 "
The first capture made by the Alabama was
the ship Ocmulgee, from Edgarton, on Sep
tember 6, 18G2, and the last that of the ship
Rockingham, from Callao, on April 23, 18GI.
The career of the Shenandoah commenced in
October, 18C4, and terminated on June 23,
18G5. The Florida began her operations by
the capture of the brig Estolla, from Manza
ttilla, on January 17, 18G3, and ended with
the capture of the bark Mandamin, from Rio
Janeiro, in September, 18G4. The Sumter
opened her career in June, 18G1, and closed it
on July 4, 18G2. The Tallahassee, the fifth
in order of the most destructive of the
cruisers, extended her piratical operations
from January 25, 18G3, to November 2, 18(51.
The number of vessels sailing direct from this
port which fell into the hands of these
piratical craft was twelve, the names aud
dates of capture of which we have already
given.
THE OLD MAN'S HOME.
The Old Man's Home, situated at Thirty
ninth street and Powelton avenue, is an insti
tution that is eminently worthy of the regards
of the philanthropio citizens of Philadelphia,
The quiet and unobtrusive manner, however,
in which it has been managed has to some ex
tent prevented it from receiving the attention
it deserves from many who would, perhaps.
gladly extend it their aid. This Home i
intended as a comfortable refuge for respeo
table old men who, by the thousand-and-one
vicissitudes of fortune, find themselves ad
vaneed in life without friends or fortune, and
its benefits are not restricted to the members
of any particular trade or profession, but, so
far as the moans at the disposal of the mana
gers will permit, they are extended to
all old men of good character who have
need of them. The limited income of the
Home and the small size of the building
have hitherto obliged the managers ta ex
clude many deserving applicants for admis
sion, and to refuse to receive any old men
under seventy years of age. The present
rules require an admission fee of $150, and
the applicant must not be less than seventy
years of age, must be unmarried, and must
be without near relatives who are competent
to support him. Besides those who are abso
lutely without means of support, there are
many old gentlemen who have no friends,
but who are able to pay something towards
their support, who would gladly avail them
selves of such a refuge as this Home affords,
where they will enjoy besides the society of
persona of their own age, comforts they
would be unable to obtain elsewhere, and
medical attendance in event of sickness. In
order, therefore, to extend the benefits
of the Home the managers have
procure 1 plans for a new building
large enough to accommodate fifty inmates.
Ihis will be commenced in the spring.several
legacies and donations during the past year,
which have amounted to $18,000, having
placed it in the power of the managers to
make the improvement. This amount, it is
obvious, will not more than cover the ex
pense of the new building, and in order lhat
the institution may carry on its good work
without pecuniary embarrassment, it will be
obliged to depend very largely upon the con
tributions it may receive. The Old
Man's Home is particularly worthy
of the favorable noticA of merchants.
