The Demociatsand Republicans of Phil-
ndelphia madetl.eir Cotgrcssional. Legis- i
l it ive atid city nominations last week. !
Five Congressmen, four State Senators, ,-
and thirty-eight Representatives were nom
inated by each par y. The candidates are
repieseiitcd to bo much better than in
former years, and this may be true not
withstanding the fact that Ret 1 off, who
was exj.ellcd by the House two years ago,
for his corrupt connection wi b the Wil
was about the only really honest member
from ib.it city at the last session, .md it is
to the cicdit of the Democracy of bis dis- j
fiict that they appreciate his worth and :
Lave renominated him. The re-election of
Camerom to the L". S. Senate depends
lirgely upon the result of the tri.inytihir
contest in the Philadelphia legislative dis- ;
tricls. j
The smoke of the Maine election having
j.assed away, its results may be thus stated:
Connor, the Republican candidate for Gov- j
..
-ruor, although received more votes
than were cast Lr eithtr the Democratic
cr Greenback candidate, fails of an elect ion :
under the law of the State, and the Gov-

ballot of 8. Tbe House will send to the
Senate the names of Garcelou, the Demo
cratic candidate, and Smith, the Greeuback
candidate, and the Senate must elect one
aj them Governor. The chances are said
to be largely iu favor of the election of
Garcelou. Ladd, Democrat, is elected to
Coiigiess over Rowers, Republican, and
Hale, Republican, is defeated by Murch,
tbe Gieenback candidate. Hale is the
k.mie man who, as chairman of llm Rvpul-
liau Congressional Committee, issued an"
.du.ess to, he cuuntiy when the Rotter
Committee was appointed, in which be
predicted a paialysis of business and other
dreadful results. He is Rl.tine's shadow
a fall blown demagogue-ami has at last
found his propel level. Either a Gieeil-
backer or a Democrat will bo elected to the
U. 8. Scale in place of Hannibal Hamlin. !

biggest liar in Congress. During his ex
amination Lilley stated that he had paid
money to 'Jene.ial CotYio'li when he was in
Congress, "a good many yeaisago," for
a cadetship.
The Tribune in its article has fairly pub-
lished eveivthimr that Lillev stated shoot

ew Yoik, or in its vicinity. This is sub
stantially the evidence of Lilley, upon
which the Trib line asks the voters of this
district to believe that Gen. CofTYoth sold a
cadetship. Any man who is so disposed
can make such a charge, and when it is
unsuppoi ted, as this one is, by a particle of
name in urh a connection is a f'tlsijler,
and the truth t not in him " Why is it '
that neither the editor of the Someiset
Herald, iu Ihe columns of that paper, nor
Gen. Koontz, in bis recont speech at a Re ;
publican meeting in that place, has re-
pcated this charge against Gen. Coffioih, j
unless it is because they believe it to be a
vile calumny? Would William J. Raer
stand by Coffroth and urge bis nomination !
as he did, if he doubted Coffioth's official
integrity? The editor of the Tribune has
a mind capacious of such things, and it i
