The Evening Telegraph, from Its original establishment, baa been In the receipt of telegra phic Dews from the New York Associated Press, Which consists Of the Tribune, Times, Ilerald, World, Sun, Journal cf Commerce, Evening Pout, Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Express. The success which has attended oar enterprise Is, In Itself, a su indent evidence of the freshness, full ness, and reliability of the sews which we have received from this source. In March, 1S70, we entered into a special contract by which The Evening Teleqrafh has the exchesivs use of the news furnished in the afternoon by the Associated Tress to its own members, the North American, In quirer, Ledger, Press, Aye, Record, and German Demo e rat, of this city, and the leading Journals of the East, North, West, and South; and hereafter Tns Tele OXAPH will be the only evening paper published in this itv in which the afternoon despatches of the Asso ciated Press will appear. twThe earliest regular edition of the The Evening Telegraph goes to press at ltf o'clock, and the subsequent regular editions at , 8, and 4tf. Whenever there is important news of the com plications In Europe, extra editions will be Issued after this hour, and before the regular time for the early edition. TEE CUT TICKETU. The Democratio nominating conventions of Philadelphia concluded their labors yester day; and while all the nominees on their city ticket are not unexceptionable, the Demo cratic party, as a party, deserves credit for an earnest effort to select candidates from its best, rather than its worst, material. This policy may have been reluctantly adopted on account of the necessity of creating or en larging a division in the Republican ranks; and the studied avoidanoe of resolu tions constructing a partisan platform may be attributed to a similar motive; but the fact nevertheless remains that the Phila delphia Democracy have learned wisdom from experience, that they have advanced and ele vated the charaoter of their nominations, and that they have refrained from obtruding their screeds of doctrine upon any Republicans who might, presumably, be disposed to sap port one or more of their nominees. They have sought strength in men rather than in principles, in an apparent temporary ignor ing or abeyance of Democracy, rather than in a defiant avowal of its tenets; and while the rank and file of the un terrified will be ex pected to vote for the ticket on the old plan of sustaining it - - " therefore. Without a single why or wherefore," an unusual, if not an unprecedented, amount of care has been taken to attract Republican support. Thus, in the Mayor's Convention, the President, with a full knowledge of the result of its deliberations, inasmuch as there was but one candidate, expressed an earnest desire that the nominee should be a man of "courage, independence, ability, experience, knowledge of our city affairs, and, above all, a man of unblemished integrity and honor." In the Judiciary Convention a resolution was adopted warmly applauding the Republican and anti-slavery Judge, George Jl. Stroud, whose term is about to expire. In the City Solicitor's Convention, the nominee, in his speech, dwelt mainly upon the necessity of local reform. In the District Attorney's Con vention the nominee spoke of the position he now fills "as one created, not for personal or partisan purposes, but solely for the pub ic good," and intimated his intention, if re elected, to continue to discharge the duties of the office on strictly legal instead of parti san principles. And in the Prothonotary's Convention a resolution was adopted express ing Bjiupatby with the Law Association in its efforts for reform. Intelligent Republicans will neither be de luded by anything that is deceptive in the Democratic policy and nominations, nor will they, on the other hand, totally disregard its real significance. If the Republican nomi nating conventions had all been animated by a spirit akin to that which has controlled the action of the Democrats, there would be no reasonable doubt at the present moment of the election of the entire Republican ticket. But while the Republican nominations defied disaffection and disregarded the plainest dic tates of true party policy, the cooler and wiser heads of the opposition have made ex traordinary exertions to Becure complete har mony within their own ranks and to concili ate Republicans. With these plain facts staring him in the face, every voter should act acoording to the dictates of his own judgment and conscience. It is growing more important to the welfare of the city, year after year, that honest, capa ble, and entirely trustworthy men should be elected to all influential local offices; and while every Republican naturally prefers to Bee such positions filled by members of the Republican party, provided the inouuibents demean themselves in a becoming manner, no intelligent Republican can find consolation in wordy and falae profes sions of Republicanism for the faot that a perverter of justice, an extortioner, or a Ring robber has been elevated to power by the aid of his vote. There is a crying necessity for reform in the administration of all looal affairs, and it is high time that' all good citi zens should address themselves earnestly to this task, making its accomplishment para mount, instead of subordinate, to despioible partisan intrigues, vague partisan advantages, or corrupt personal designs. The best vote cast in this city on local questions) and for or against local nominees, are those which are not controlled by partisan considerations. The Democrats who, at the commencement of the war and daring its progress, broke old party ties and sustained local as well as national Republican candidates, thereby rendered inestimable service to their country; and few or none of those Republi cans who aided in plaoing Judge Ludlow on the bench of this oity have cause to regret that action. Above and beyond partisan ties all Philadelphia voters are citizens of a great municipality, which in local elections has the first and highest claim upon their considera tion; and any thoroughly bad, incompetent, corrupt, or disgraceful nominee on either ticket should be cut by the members of the party disgraoed by such a nomination with as little hesitation as a mad dog is killed or a murderer Bent to prison. TI1E COMMENCEMENT SEASON. The most inattentive newspaper-reader mu3t have been struck daring the past fortnight by the unoommon interest shown this year in the college commencements. The concern mani fested has, indeed, been unexampled. In no previous season have as many students gradu ated, nor have bo many distinguished people ever been present at commencement services. Neither have the papers ever before reported these exercises so fully. At Princeton the President and tvro members of his Cabinet, a number of the principal offioers of the army, end a host of other prominent persons, all assisted on class day and at the gradu ating ceremonies. Such interest in college affairs was probably never before shown in the United States, and although Princeton has taken the lead, other colleges have held their commencements with somewhat similar eclat. Harvard has just graduated the largest class that has ever left that college, and the classes of Yale and Brown, which are to graduate in the course of a few days, are described as being the largest and ablest bodies that have ever left those time-honored walls. The principal commencements already held have been the following: West Point, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Williams, Cornell, Vassar, Rutgers, Lafayette, Dickin son, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania Military Academy, Lehigh University, aud Lincoln University. .The last six are Pennsylvania institutions. Several have been held that are not included in this list, and some of the most notable of all have yet to be celebrated. The University of Pennsylvania has its com mencement to-day in this city, and Amherst, and Bowdoin, as well as Yale and Brown, already mentioned, and other fa mous institutions, will keep up the commencement fever for some time longer. We are of those who believe that these facts are of the greatest importance to our young men and to society at large. They offer strong evidence that the leaven of education is raising the public mass. The interest taken in our higher schools is one of the Barest signs of a peaceful but mighty revolution in society, one that has determined and is daily determining that the fattire of this country depends on the knowledge, attainments, and refinement of its citizens. Man shall not live by bread alone. The saying is old, but not as old as the truth it embalms, and whioh grows more potent as the years roll resistlessly by. There are other and higher needs than those of the body. The mental necessities of man are great; the increasing culture of the age renders them all-compelling, and the result is Been in the greater demand upon our higher colleges, and in the superior work done, year after year, by those institutions. May they increase ! We are pleased to learn that John Rice, Esq., has returned to the city from his pro longed visit to California and the West, with renewed health, vigor, and spirits. Mr. Rice is one of our most energetio citizens, and Philadelphia cannot spare him long at a time. The experience and rejuvenation gained by him in his Western tour we shall expect to result in continued well-directed efforts for the municipal good. NOTICES.
