Contrary to expectation the, Democratic State Cotiventlon,whlcli met at noon to day, In the Opera Home, wan largely attended and In point of enthusiasm fully up to the old-fashioned Democratic Standard. A noticeable Icaturo was the presence of larger number of young, and to old sinners, uiifstuiliar face. Hut they were nil In earnest and a convention more fully renre tenting tho active, fighting element of the Democracy of the State, lias not assembled for years. None, or practically none, of the old stereotyped managers were here, and as a sequence, there were no faction fights for o npty honor, Ilarr, as everybody knew had n clean walk over. Tho only contest was for temporary Chairman, and that was en tirely friendly between James, of North ampton, Warrall, ot Philadelphia and Shorts, of Luzerne. James carried oft" the prifce and a gallant presiding officer ho made. 11c is emphatically a true and eloquent champion of unadulterated Democracy, J' or permanent presiding officer, Alex, Colfroth, of Summerset, was selected and he wielded the gavel of authority with all the native dignity and impartiality lor which he is noted. The Convention adjourned at 2 p. m., and reconvened at 4 o'clock, when tho Hon. Lewis 0. Casdday, of Philadelphia, chair man of the committee on resolutions pre sented tho followinc renort : . Hrtolecd, 1. That wc tho Democratic par ty of Pennsylvania in convention assembled, renew our vows of fidelity to the fundamen tal principles proclaimed and practiced by tbe illustrious men who settled our free ins titutions and founded the Democratic party to protect and preserve them. 2. That the just power of the Federal Union, the rights of tho States and the lib erties of the people, are vital parts of one harmonious system ; and to save each part in its whole constitutional vigor is to "save the life ot tbe nation." 3. That the Democratic party maintains, as it ever has maintained, that the military are, ana ougut to be, in all things subordi nate to tbe civil authorities, It denies, as it I ever bas denied, the right, of the Federal Administration to keep on foot, at the gen- erai expense, astanding army to invade the States for political purposes, without regard to constitutional restrictions, to control the people ai me polls, to protect and encourage ,,"",u,"1 cu" 01 lne vot9. or to in- augurate candidates rejected by the major!- ty. i.

" T1 war ram or neanng, destroys all freedom of elec- tioh and upturns the very foundation of self- government. We call upon all cood citi- zens to aid us in preserving . n.l.,inn. from destruction by these Fmnerlal ethr.,1 - of .suffrage and coercing the popular will, in keeping the way to tho ballot-box open and free, as it was to our fathers, in removing p . , ub the army to a safe distance when tho people assemble to express their sovereign pleasure at the polls, and in securing obedience to their will when legally expressed by their 5. That Rutherford U. Hayes, having been ptaceu in power against tbe well known and legally expressed will ot the people, is the representative of a conspiracy only, and his claim of right to surround the ballot-boxes with troops and deputy marshals to intimi date and obstruct the electors, and his un precedented use of tho veto to maintain this unconstitutional and despotic power, are an insult and a menace to the country, 0. J.U at tbe Democratic, nartv. na nf nhl ... , . . . J w I favors a constitutional currency of gold and silver, and of paper convertible into coin, 7. Xbat we are opposed to the system of subsidies by tbe General Government under which, duricc the period of Republican as cendency, political rings and corporations profited at the people's expense, and to any appropriation of the public moneys or tho public credit to any object but the public service. The reforms and the economies enforced by the Democratic party since its advent to power in the lower house of Con gress have saved to the people many millions of dollars, aud we believe that a lite result would follow its restoration to power in the State of 1'ennrylvania. 8. That the Democratic party, being the natural friend of the working man. and hav, ing throughout its history stood between him and oppression, renews its expression of sympathy lor labor and its promise of pro, tection to Its rights. y. mat we look with alarm and appre hension upon tho pretensions of (ho in-Put transportation companies to be ahnvn th fmdamental law of this Commnnw.nin, which governs all else within our borders, and until they accept the Constitution 0f 1873 in good faith they shall remain objects oi tbe utmost vigilance and jealousy by both Legislature and people 10. That the recent attempt, under the personal direction of ruling Republican leaders.to debauch tbe Legislature by wholi sale bribery and corruption and take from tbe Commonwealth four millions of dollars for which its liability had n , been ascer tulncd, is a fresh and alarmin evidence of the aggresslvoness of corporate power in collusion with political rings, and Bhould receive the signal condemnation of the peo ple at the polls. 11. That the present condition of the State Treasury, a bankrupt general fund, and even schools and charities unable to get the money long since appropriated to their support, is a sufficient Illustration of the reckless financial mismanagement of the Republican party. The reading of the resolutions was greeted with tbe wildest applause and the one In reference to his fraudulency's use of the veto power brougbt down the convention in a storm of cheers, D. (), liarr, of Alle gheny, was then nominated by acclamation for treasurer, and in a brief speech thanked the convention for the lionrr. Kverybody was in the best of humor and unless we are greatly mistaken tbe work of to-day will be ratified in November, at the polls, by a ma jority that Philadelphia frauds can not wipe out, O. U. llBOO'KWAY, HAYES' HVroCIUCY. Tho fair promises of Mr. Hayes for Civil Service- Reform, Economy in Administration, and his proposed healing of sectional etrifo luado at tho litno ho was inaugurated, in degree reconciled Democrats to tho fraud by wliicli ho was seated. From the start lio was antagoniicd by tho radicals tho "stalwarts" of licr own parly. Tlioy kept aloof from lilni. Tho Democratic Congress, elected by tho people at tho samo tinio that Tildcn was, offered lo aid liim in his propoed efforts at reform. Ho spurned their aid, and now is n mere tool in tho hands of men who ilcspiso liim, and yet would use him lot their own uniitcr purposes. Dunug his adminis tration they aro powerless to help him, bo cnuso tho Democrats have control ot both Scnato and Itoue, with tho moral advantage that they represent tho majority of tho peo ple, and ho does not. It needs no argument to prove that his Civil Service Heform is a farce, and all tho efforts of tho administration ate now concen trated to carry tho election, for tho Republi cans regardless of means. Money is being raided by assessments upon an army of 90,- 000 depcudent officials. Tho Treasury lling tho Syndicates givo a titho of their stolen gains. Appeals aro luado to tho dead issues of the past, as if peace, had not been formally declared over fourteen years aeo. On tho other hand tho Democrats can go to the country with clean hands. They havo ilccreasc'i governmental expenses $10,000,000 annually without detriment to tho public per vice. They havo reduced salaries where p03' siblc, and lopped off useless officials wheu permitted. They havo forced the repeal of the odious jurors test oath. 15y it the anom aly was presented that Hayes' Post-Master General could not bo a juror, and Judges of Courts could prcsido and announce tho law, but wcro incapacitated to sit as jurors to try facts. Intelligence was made to give way to ignorance aud passion in tryiug questions of life, liberty and property. Again, tho powers of Supervisors and Marshals wcro limited. Heictoforc they were tho paid and unscrupulous partisans of the Republican party, and exercised authority in an arbitrary manner. Frauds and corruption wrrb fully exposed, but the administration not only resolutely re fused to prosecute, but actually shielded tho criminals. Hut best of all, tho Democrats compelled Hayes to uso the army for its ligitimate purpose, and it can no longer be a medium to disperse Legislatures, or intimidate people at tho polls. Hayes was counted in by a fraud and will bo a fraud and hippocrite until the end of his term, when he will retire to a merited obhv ion. CIVIL SEKVICK REFORM. Under Republican rule this has been a farce, a mere catch-word and we havo yet lo learn the first instance where it has been carried into effect. Lest, however, should be accused of partisan bias,we would call the attention of our readers to the fol lowing article from the Philadelphia Ledger, a miner which is nrofessedlv neutral innoli tics, but Is owned by Geo. W. Childs, a well known Republican, and a warm friend and admirer of Gen. Grant : Bcfore the 0hio Election Canvass gets much older, the people who believe in fair play in politico will see that thero was necessity for the bill debated and defeated " the !" ,9e88!?n f Congress, forbidding lnnt1hIltl.nl', nf mnnev fnr flAtinn pi pense3 by Government employes. There is a law prohibiting assesamenta of officers clerks, messeneers and laborers for that pur P08e but " 8, ea8"r e,vaded by the P,artv, ftor as to be little better than a dead letter. Instead of assessing the employe. he asks for a "contribution, which has just about as much voluntary character about it as there is in the action of the man about to be haDK?o. when he lets a handkerchief fa 1 iXlSS. oujjr ucuuii iurj vjciai nucu mcu w vwm- tribute, knows rieht well that if he declines ne 's on a marked list, and that there is a "Rnt smart chance of an early vacancy at his desk "for cause,"unless he has powerful political backing. It was to flank this easy way of violating the law that the new bill wa3 framed. It was a wholesome piece of ion, anddefe at U -t amongtiio SMI Tvtwthf necessities of the Ohio "campaign," to aid wnicn wltn lunds tbe voluntary contnou tion that Is being carried around at this time. The law forbiddan political exactions from. clerks must remain tbe llimstest ot suams so long as "contributions" are allowed. Tho whole thing is wrong. Tbe moneys from which the salaries of Government officers and employes are paid are the products of taxes collected irom tne wtoie people men r, . 1" ..i.n.., alike and it Is a scandalous wrong by any subterfuge to permit these moneys to be U8eu M electioneering lunos tor one party, TWADDLE. The Gaiette ti Jlulletin sprawls out thus- ly :- Thero is a combination of causes operating against the Democrats at tho present time. The administration of Colonel Noyes has not been a particularly brilliant onc.a The state treasury is largely in arrears : it owes tho charitable institutions alono more than $150. 000. In a word, tho treasury is empty. It is a singular fact that as soon as tho Demo crats obtain control it falls behind. Tho fuuded debt is a Democratic legacy, and though tho Republicans have almost paid it off. or provided for its payment, they havo bad to ugbt tne Democrats men by incn Though Colonel Noves cannot be mado re sponsiblo for the default, it is a notable fact that under his administration the treasury has fallen behind, and many people will argue that if it had been under Republican control 't wu.M have been better off. The Stato Treasury can only payout mon ey as it is appropriated. If the Republican legislature appropriates moro than thero is iu t,,e Treasury, it is Aeir fault and not that of Col. Noyes as tho Gazelle man admits. If ho Is not responsible then, why blame him, or Democrats generally? The Republicans should either havo reduced the appropriations or elso increased tho revenues. All this clamor is simply intended to pave the way for an annual or an extra session. It is to call together the present rickctty Legis laturo and its hordo of officials, in order that they may further harass and disgrace tho pcoplo of this Commonwealth THE DUTY ON QUININE. It is a fact, it is said, that Weightmau & Co., tho main manufacturers of quinines in this country, havo resolved to quit tho bust ness because the duty has bece been taken off. Well, let tlieui stop. A lenient Con gress has enriched them at the expense of poor, fever stricken people, and it is not tho duty of the Government to foster that or any other monopoly. Hut, arguo somo of the Philadelphia paicrs, "quinino will go up" in conscqucnco of tho repeal of tho duty. This is bad logic If taking the tariff off ofan articlo causes the prico to go up, ai an ox change suggests, why not repeal tho duty on iron ? Hy tho same force of reasoning, iron theu would incrcaso in value and price, aud that opurossed industry would rovivo. Wo aro rather inclined to the opinion, however, that protection sometimes protects tho pro duoer, however injurious it may bo to the consumer. A NTAKTMNO IIUCTKINK. Ilrndtoy T. Johnson, one ol the ablest mists In the United States, has contributed an ablo article to the American Law Recitw on the subject "Can the States be compelled to pay their debts V Not only U the sub ject of Intrinsic Interest, but some of the position1) taken by the writer, and we do not say that they are wrong call attention to mailt rs but little understood by Constitu tional students. We would advise our read- rs to peruse the entire article but now can only glvo them somu of the points, with a few comments from the; J nikuMphUt Any- r: It appears from tho first sentence of the rlicle that tho total indebtedness ol all the States and Territories, according to the cen sus ol isiii, was azsi i.ozu, huh mat Hie value of all the property of all kinds in them was $30,008,078,007. What they are In 1878 Is not shown, but tueso ligurcs will serve vtrv well as a text. Alter referring to Dan iel Webster's letter to Daring Brothers in 83 in which ho says that States cannot be sued, but discountenances the notion that any ui mem ever wouiu repuunue uieir del. s, the writer goes on to say ! -uui experience, since tuat letler was written, has demonstrated that some security is necessary, beyond 'tho plighted faith of the State.' The violation of that pledge-by one state impairs the credit of every other S ate and ot the Union ; and it has come to pass that States as Sta'.es, aud States as niem''tra of the Union, havo come to bo in- tcrestcd in maintaining tho public credit of each, as it relates to every other one, and as It relates to tne union, elates cannot, it is true, free themselves from tho obligation of their debts, except by honest payment, but lliey can omutiie -nonest payment' anil leu the obligation rema n. Ihey can pass no aw hiiiiainnc tlio obligation ot contracts. but they can omit to pass laws to comply with thrui. They can make nothing but gold and silver leuder for their debts j but they can tendtr a new obligation, reduced In principal and interest, offering to'the creditor the alternative of accepting that or nothing. While they cannot avoid their duty, they can and du let that duty remain untullilled. I hey can do nothing to repudi ate their debts; but they can repudiate them. And one Slate, by thiscouisoof non-action, can so seriously impair the credit, injure the resources and allecl the Interests ol her sis ter Slates that public policy and necessity alike requires a careful examination into the nature ol tne union to see n our iraiue oi government does not contain within itsclt a remedy lor this tvil. The facts set forth aro unpleasant facts. but for all that they are facts. The writer arguis further In support of the necessity of n remedy lor I lie evil, and Inquires whether the Union hss impaired tho power of the law which existed beforethe Union, "wheth er it lie law ol war or law of judicial pro ceeding," lo enforce lights and leuiedy nrnuusof States and citleus. Ho holds that If the Union had not been formed, the Estates would have been sovereign In all re spects, with power lo uigotlstc, make treat ies, carry on war, &c. lie then says : "The right of negotiating or war between the States whs surrendered by the Slates : ni l mey 'ece.veu .or . wuai. was eousmereu eceived for it what was considered appeal to the supreme Federal' power, and to have its d-cisions enforced by the force of tho whole Uuion.

This right of war, with tho consent of Congress, may appear at first view to amount to nothing ; but, under certain cir- cumslacces, it might well be exercised in such a manner ns not to interfere with the peace and order of the rest of tho Union, aud yet put such a pre-sure upon the de' fendaut State as tn force her to do right. 1'orLs might be btocka led, citizens prnhibl ted Irom cominc within borders ol Slates. and nil the goods and productions of n State driven form the other Stale, so as lo impair very seriously htr interests.until it would be advantageous to her to change her course toward the Injured power.' liiemgeestiontliatthnfctate ol New lore may no to war with the Slate nf Pennsylva nia is certainly startling and in some respects original ; but the writer makes it the start ing point of nu inquiry inlo more peaceful measures ot nclr iss. .Alter retfrrini in a number nf niithurilim showing the right of a state, in me uroau sense ot a sovereign nation, to enforce payment of debts due to its cltt."iis irom a foreign clnte.ho considers the modification mado in the international rule by the Union and Constitution, He quotes the provisions ol the Constitution in relation to the hupiciue (Jourt uuu its juris diction (lud alsii some contemporaneous opinions nn it. It is well settled, however that oni State may lie sued by another State, There havo hcen cn'es between them relat ing to political (uestions,biit so far noue re lating to a matter of coniiact. The writer says that when such a controversy arises there ran be no doubt that the court will exercise jurisdiction. Here then he finds a remedy fur the wrong nf non payment of debts by states that the states whose citi zens are thus wronged shall in their behalf bring suit against the delinquent Slate. He holds "The obligation to pay is not siuiplv a moral obligation ; it is a legal liability. When a State In the union enters Inlo a contract, she lays down her sovereignly to that extent. She is subject to the constitu tional Inhibition ns to mat contract as well as to others. She cm pa's tin laws lo impair the obligation thereof. When she L'oes in to trade, she stands on the same footing as all other traders. When she becomes a stockholder, she shales the responsibility of all other stockholders : and when she makes a contract, her obligation is exactly that of any oiner contracting party." I lie practical question remains whether it is expedient for States to become collect ing agents for those of their citizens who nave lent money to other states. Sad Drowning Accident.

Twrntv-thlril Fusiliers also sent one company under the command of an officer to form a guard of honor at Chiselhurst. Special trains from London brought vast crowds of people ns early as half past seven in the morning, including great numbers of French. The common was crowded with people from the neighboring villages. Nu merous vehicles were drawn up along the route of the funeral, from the stately gates of Camden Place to the little Roman Catho lic chapel in an obscuro part of the village, embosomed amid grand old trees, now in tho full glory of their foliage. A body of workmen from Paris breakfasted at the house, and were permitted to view the body. They then assisted in draping the gateway near the lodge in large drab colored hang ings, bearing the imperial cipher "N" and crossed palm branches. AMllVAI, OK THE (JUEKN. A few minutes past ten o'clock a special train from Windsor brought Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by her daughter, the Princess Beatrice. Leaving the train they entered a close carriage and proceeded to the house of mourning.

The bells of the Protestant parish church and of the Catholic church of St, Mary's began to toll. At eleven o'clock the first minute gun of the Royal artillery bat tery announced that the procession had started from Camden House. THE FUNEItAL PAGEANT. With some little delay tbe funeral pageant formed in the grounds of Camden place. Tbe bands of the Lancers and of the Royal Artillery had their instruments craped and their drums muffled. The cavalry formed on tbe lawn on either side of the main en trance, and the artillery limbered up near the front gate. As the royal' personages passed into tbe house they were received with the royal salute. As the Queen, ac companied by the Princess of Wales, entered the empress' boudoir, the boom of the first gun was heard, while the bands commenced to play the Dead Starch in Saul." The pro cession then emerged from tho the gates in the following order : First came the troop of Irish lancers, with lances in trail ; then cadets with rifles reversed : theu the band of 'he royal nrtiilery.playing the solemn march wltb splenpid ellect. Then tollowed th clergy bearing the crucifix and the incense ; then the Right Rev. Bishop Daniells, of Southwark, supported by two chaplains. Then came the coffin, on the six-horse gun carriage which had borne it from Woolwich to Chiselhurst, The tricolor of France enfolded the coffin, and on the lid rested a splendid cross of camelias, violets and heartsease. Two gun ners of the artillery held the immense wreath Bent by her majesty the queen The pall bearers were : The Prince of Wales, tho Duke of Edinburg, the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of Monaco, and the Crown Prince of Sweden The chief mourners were Prince Jerome Napoleon and his two sons, Princes Lucien and Charles Bonaparte, Joachim and Louis Murat, tbe Duke de la Moscova, a son of Marshal Ney ; tho Dukes of Padua and Mouchy, M. Paul de Cassagnac, Baron Haussmann and young Conncau, the dead Priuce's playmate, Alaltre Laud Fleury, and many others. The procession was closed by horse artillery and lancers. Her Majesty the Queen witnessed the procession, pro foundly moved, from a little black draped pavilliou that had beeu erected on tht grounds. The churchyard and the chapel ot St Mary was crowded hours before the time ol the ceremony. The Duke of Sutherland was among the earliest to arrive. The Countess Poniatowski, Mme.

A detachmeut of lancers was leading followed by the cadets at slow march, who opened ranks on entering the gate and form' ed on either side of the path. The bishop of Southwark received the coffin at the gate, The Duke of Cambridge superintended the dismounting of the coffin, giving orders to the officers of artillery who bore the body within the church. Tho bishop having sprinkled the coffiu, the choir began in sub - 1 dued tones to chant the "De Profundls," I The Euglish princes followed. Then came I the tall form and Napoleonic face of Prince - 1 Napoleon, who evidently tried to look ser loua.

On one side of the catafalque wero ranged the Kngllsh princes, one Bonaparte on the other, and a crowd of officers In glittering uniform behind. The solemn requiem was then commenced to the plaintive Gregorian chant, "Requiem Kternam," "Kyrie" and "Dies Inc." Then the bishop of Southwark Intoned the solemn ptoface,"Vcre Dlgnum" with magnificent voice. The Baroness de Catci's daughter, Mine. Lobachc, sang the "Ave Maria" of Saint Saens, Then, dolling the chasuble and donning the cope, the bishop and tho attendant clergy stood at the head of the catafalque. Mme. Goddard then Intoned the "Miserere." Tho bishop, walk ing around the bier, pronouncing the name of the prince, gavo the absolution, Sudden ly tli ree volleys of musketry burst on the car, each followed by the roll of muflled drums, the cadets thus rendering tribute to their warrior comrade The rite ended, those who had loved tho dead prl t.ce filed nst tlm coffin, siirlnkllnir linlv water, strew- ... , inc nowers nuu wiiispering prayers, iiie Princess of Wales deposited a wreath before the bier.

Then for long hours a pro cession formed of those who desired to take u final look '.upon the dead face passed through the aisles. First came n deputa tion of the young men of France, then of the students of Paris, then tho former stu dents of the Lycee, then deputations from the departments of France, the most con spicuous being from Corsica. The coffin was hidden beneath a hill of flowers, chiefly vio lets. Many plucked leaves from the church yard, which they kissed and kept as mem entoes of the Kngllsh tomb of the liona partes.

Wheu tbe preliminary business' had been disposed of tho nomination of a can didato for state treasurer was announced to be in order. Mr, ucnry uarey uairu, oi Philadelphia, was promptly nominated by acclamation. The result was received with considerable applause, The resolutions adopted are in substance as follows The National Greenback-Labor party, of Pennsylyania, in convention assembled, de clare : That it is in favor of the payment of the national debt strictly in accordance with the stipulations of the contract under which it was created, and that no more in tcrest-bearing bonds of the federal govern ment be issued ; that the federal government only shall issue money ; that such money shall be a full legal tender, and that full lc gal tender greenbacks shall be substituted for national bank notes.

R Th tlio face of everything, Wanamakcr & Brown increased their great Clothing business last year at Oak Hall nearly a quarter 6f a million dollars, and for 1S79 l'lc new plans will make the house more popular and incrcaso the business much more. Eighteen years in the people's service at the old corner of Sixth and Market has taught us how lo do the business well. Ma Whatever may he said, no house in the United States sells any-' thing like so much Clothing at Retail as Oak Hall, and no house in 1'hiladclpliia sells more than a quarter as many goods as Mr. Wanamakcr sells III Clothing alone. Doing this large business shows the people's regard for out goods, andcnablcs us to buy cheaply and sell at small profits. " New patterns have been made this year and new styles intro duced through Mr. Robert C. Ogden (formerly partner of the famous firm of Devlin & Co., New York), who is now associated with Oak Hall, and will give his whole energies and valuable experience to improving the manufacture of our lioys' and Men's Clothing. We do not buy Clothing like the dealers, but make it expressly for our own sales. The Spring stock is splendid, nnd no other make of goods, so far, have as much merit, or are sold as cheaply. Impressions have been erroneously given to the effect that Mr. John Wanamakcr, uho founded Oak Hall, is not interested in the old store, and that it docs not have his attention ; on the contrary, his ownership of it remains unchanged, and he has lost none of his love for it. Every day finds him supervising all its departments. Mr. William 11. Wanamakcr spends his entire time on the Oak Hall business. A VISIT THIS SPRING PARTICULARLY INVITED.
