W j-sconsiu. These eighteen States have ;
a total of 3-i'. votes, and at the St. Louis :
convention in l7iigae Mr. Tilden. on
the first ballot 23i votes, or not piite
two-thirds of their full Vote, while on
the second ballot they gave him
votes, or more than thirtv over two-
thirds
If there is such an overwhelm-
Ing demand for Mr. Tilden's nomiTia
tion, as some of his friends claim, it is a
most remarkable fact that these eigh
teen States, w hich gave him such a vig
orous support in 1 , refused, with tos
sibly three exceptions, to instruct their
th legates to vote for him in isso.
It is possible, we think, and the
most compete ut judges think so too, for
Mr. Tilden on the lirst ballot to receive
. r .. wt .
more tna-i 131 votes from the states
above named, which would be ?'
than two-thirds of the convention, winch

last week in Mississippi. Kansas. Mis

action did not materially improe Mr.
Tilden's prospects. At least we can see
nothing in them to justify a different
conclusion. We do not intend to make
any predictions as to who nill be the
nominee of the Cincinnati convention,
but in our calm and unbiassed opinion
i: will n'l be Samuel J. Tilden.

To tht Editor of tht Cambria Freeman:
Unusual preparations were made by
the several INwts of the Grand Army in
this city for the ceremony of decorating
the graves of their dead comrades on
Saturday last. In addition to the num
berless tlovers used for decking the
rrivcs if lli! n:it riot dead, floral decora-
tions ami designs of great beauty were
gotten up by the dilTcrent Posts at all
the cemeteries, and gifted speakers de
livered orations, while military bands of
music and vocal societies accompanied
the veterans and aided them in keeping
1 o i v. ,-us
fresh the memories of the departed
braves. Meade Post gave a grand me
morial service at the Academy of Music
in the evening in aid of the Meade mon-uni'-nt
fund.
WHO isscpekvi-ok 'i
The removal bv General Walker and
Mr. Hayes of P.'W. T. White as SujHr
visor (if the Census for the first Pennsyl
vania district, has raised a serious ques
tion in the minds of leading Senators as
to the authoritv of the President to re
niovet ensus Supervisors during the ses
sion of the Senate. The question now
is. "Who is our Supervisor, or who is
responsible as such V"
THE CATHOLIC COCMIL.
The Catholic Council of the ecclesias
tical province of Philadelphia, held in
this city last week, was opened ami con-
ducted with the most, imposing ceremo
nies. Great importance attached to this .
gathering, from the fact that it was the
tirst council ever held in the diocese. Its
object was to consider the question of
Church discipline in the jurisdiction of .
this P.ishopric. which embraces the en
tire State.
When the bishops and clergy met. ev-
crv seat in the cathedral was occupied.
and it was calculated that from t-
th;s..,,l ' to.pVo visitors were
unable to even hnd standing room.
Oulsilio tllt. sl,.e(.t w., ,,ilcUed with
spect:itors. and the sci vices of a large
bod v of police were rendered necessary
. ' i I :l ...i il , I ; ,. ...
in iiieser e 01 uei , unii ,nuirMi"i-uii
it required a very arge commuire oi
'Cathedra! Knights," who were in full
regalia, to attend to the seating of tic
worshippers. The ceremony at the ca
thedral when the bishops and clcrury net
in solemn conclave to consider the in
terests of the Church was most imposing.
At a quarter past l'o'clock on Sunday
of last week the organ pealed forth, and
simultaneously the grand procession
moved from the chapel and passed thro"
the courtyard to Summers street, across
the west "side of Eighteenth street , and
thence to the central doors ol the cathe
dral, where it entered in the following
order: Cross bearer; acolytes; priests
represent ing lie' order of the August ines;
Je.aiits. Carmalites. Laarists, Rcnedic
tines. and Redempt ioiiists in cassock
and surplice ; seminarians ; bishops. ea h
precede,1, by two acolytes and carrying
. i ......... 1
the insignia ot ojhee ; cross hearer : aco
lytes, with lighted candles, the arch
bishop and his attendants making a
total of not less than n'ri hun'trnl.
I n this form the procession moved to
the altar, the congregation licaiiv. hi'e
reverentially standing. When all had
taken their places the scene was a bril
liant one. The ailar and tabernacle
wre ih e d with a profusion of 'lowers,
varying in si'e from a small bo ptct to a
pil! is oi con. -i deva oh- dimensions. Over
th. se binned hundred.; of candles, the
glare of which brought into lull effect
the lines of tic flowers and the glittering
est meats of the clergy. These, as well
as the hangiugsof the altar, were if red.
On the throne sat Archbishop Wood,
v.h'ie around him was a body oi'f iiurch
dignitaries such as probably was in-ver
assembled before in a Catholic Church in
tins conn' ry.
II would require a column of the
I K l: KM A x to give the names if the bish
ops and priests in the procession. Fully
one thousand clergymen participated,
all the ( hurch dignitaries of tiie state
being in attendance. The opening ser
vices ei the Council -.vcre of the limst
imposing character, and the day was an
event in American Catholic history, the
proceedings being on the grandest scale
ever S'-en in this country.

Nearly all the religious denominat imis
of the I 'niteil States have been in coun
cil during the last few weeks. It is
right ami proper loran me orgaui..-itions ,-d rroni their foundations. All the res
of good people, of every name whalso- idences in ti e lower part of town are
, ever, to go ahead in the way that best being vacated as fast as possible. The
suits them and accomplish the speediest gieatest excitement prevails,
and most desirable results. It has in- '
deed been a season of great ecclesiastical
gatherings. We wish the brethren of
all the denominations the largest and
happiert success in the management of
tin trecclesiast ical undertakings, and the
most consummate triumph in their ef
forts towardstlie conversion ol the world.
There is mi time to be l is! in disputing
about tin- best methods, as there are yet
a gieat many sinners to be converted
from the errors of their devmns ways.
THE INUI'.XAVr sr.NAT'Mls.
The b ss car indignant I'nited states
Senators say about Supervisor White's
removal the tieiter for t heir dignity. If
the indignant Senators are anxious to
defend their pitTogal ives, the best way
of doing so is ti) altind t t heir dti! cs
and rcrutini.e more can fully the nomi
nations presented to them. No incom
petent pe s.;i .should be kept in otlice
simply bt cause !c may be confirmed by
the Senate. Tic removal of Mr. White
was a necessity, as 'under his appoint
ment of enumerators t he ci n.-us i !' this
city would have been a disgraceful fail
ure. The people of Philadelphia who
are most interested in the matter do not
sympathize with the honorable s.-mitors
who are so deeply offended because Mr.
Sijpi r is. r While was removed without
their advice and consent. The. less fuss
they make about it the more creditable
it w ill lie for them.

The V,i.- Mmit'.bi advises that Phila
delphia and the adjacent, counties of

themselves, and says : "As it js. the

ides two sections which, have no politi

exclusion of Philadelphia from the I'ni

management tif our affairs at I larrisburg,
the refusal togiveor concede to us equal

all express the distrust and dislike fell

The State of Pennsylvania with the

lie a great, state ; but the State of Phil

Thomas K. Hay aid's past actions and
well known qualities are sullicient assu
rances of what his actions would be in
almost any given emergency in his ad
ministration of the affairs of the Gov
ernment. Against the purity and ele
vation of his character not a word can
be uttered. He is distinguished among
public men for his force of conviction,
consistency of public conduct, and in
flexible adherence to principle. He is
the best man in the Democratic partv
for the otlice of Chief Magistrate of the
nation, whether spelled with a big N or
a small one. The P.a't imore .1 ; ' .
Republican, says : '"If the Democratic
partv has left a political creed, or has
preserved any connection with its past
traditions. Mr. l'ayard is its ablest and
most conspicuous representative." He
would no1, be an unknown quint ity, to
calculate whose value it would be neces
sary to make an accurate analysis of the
forces and tendencies behind his candi
dature. His character is such as would
exclude from the canvass the miserable
Il(.ls,,nal accusations which disgrace the
good name ot the American people in
their Presidi ntial caucuses.
A special correspondent of the Phila
delphia 7'o.x says: "The sentiment in
favor of P.avard for President is gaining
ground steadily, snrelv and irresistab'y.
So far as New Jersey is concerned. Ray
ard is tic coming man. and only the pro
verbial blank idiocy of the leaders of the
Democracy can d'-feat him."
Tin- Raltini'ire Am- i e -oi iRcp.'i says;
' The strongest man the Democracy can
present is Thomas F. Rayar.l. and if the
party can once escape the fatality for
lil iii'lering t hat pursues il . t lie name of
Rayard wiil be placed at the head of its
ticket." G. X. S.

BlackSilks
Such a stock as- Black Silk
affords the best tfc'St of the
spirit of a merchant. It con
stitutes too lareje a par t of his
trade to he trifled with , and
as he conducts that, so he
considers it wise to conduct
the rest of his busines:;. Vo j
have here the clue to his K
licy. If he sells showy silks
at a low price and calls
them cheap because they are
showy, or if he- sells hcuy
silks at a low price and calls
them cheap because they arc
heavy, he cither does not
know his business or delibe
rately cheats. To be showy
is nothing; to be heavy h
nothing. A showy " silk "
may be nearly all cotton; a
heavy silk may be neatly all
dye f
Yc are frank enough to
say that few salesmen or mer
chants can tell a tod silk
from one that is not good ;
and often, when a bad silk
is sold, neither the merchant
nor his salesman hn a sus
picion of the fact.
But the great industry of
silk-manufacture, ur-ing mil
lions upon millions of capital
and thousands upon thou
sands of human lives, is not
conducted in ignorance of its
raw material or of its pro
duct. Few undertakings of
man arc ba.-cd on niosc exact
knowledge. Do you ima
gine, then, that there need
be any considerable uncer
tainty about the e juality of a
silk which we hce before
you ? There is necessarily
just this grot-tid of uncertain
ty, and no oilier: a pood silk
is sometimes : poilcd in the
last process of manufacture,
and the fact can be found
out only by wearing it.
The buyer's problem is
how to get the certain good
and avoid ail that can be
avoided of the uncertain bad.
And this is the answer : buy
of a merchant whose general
plan of business is lo deserve
your confidence by never !
tray ing it, either through ig
norance or indifference ; and
whose dealings are largo
enough to give him the !-t
in the market at the boil .m
of the market price.
This is all that can Vie pro
fitably said about buying
silks in general. It covers
the whole ground and is the
whole science of buying for
persons without a special,
technical, and very rare
knowledge of goods.
But ver) likely yoa want
to know what we mem by a
good silk, and what good
silk costs. By a good silk
we mean one that will not
disappoint reasonable expec
tations as to appearance,
either when now or old.
A good siik niav be get
here for a dollar. The be-t
silk can begot here for two
dollars; after thtt, it is a
mutter of weight atone. The
best and heaviest we have in
plain black silk is six-and-a-half
dollars.
We have nj dealing in
any silk that we have anv
distrut of; and if vou want
to know whac we think of
any particular pi. -co t-f :.i'k
that we sell . yen can le.
bv a kinr".
