Tilh number of immigrants who ar
rived at New York during the month
of May was unprecedented, being ."t,0s3.
The total number of arrivals since the
........ ... v. . ..v. .
beginning of the year was 13--,.'i';0, which j ' " 1 ' ' " . , . , ! he not been there the Presidential wran
is aoo.it 17xh, more than the aggregate 3COurt ith u presentment m which , lers u, , no ,,nbt have desecrated

dnring the corresponding months of 1. 2, ; , ... T : , . . . . . , w-soU. the i.artv of great moral
when immigration was exceptionally
,. it I
large. The number of arrivals during j
June promises to exceed the inpouring j
of last month, having landed on I
the first day of the month.' j
Un Tuesday of last ,veek the Phila
delphia "(7 linonl entered upon its
third year as a penny newspaper. When
the H'coi-'l was litt. started the success
of the experiment it was about to make
was a matter of grave and serious doubt.
It has, however, gone far beyond the
most sanguine expectations of its pro
prietor, has a daily circulation of more
than ;-".. m , and taken altogether is one
f the very ablest and best conducted
journals in the country.
Havini. on a previous occasion dis-
ens.-ed the several proiositions to be
submitted to the Democrats of this,
county at the a pproaching delegate elec
tion, we Jnced only urge them at this j
time to turn out and give effect to their ;
convictions on these important qucs-
tions. There is certainly a need for !
some change in the present method of i
selecting delegates to our county con- ,
vent ions, and we hoie that all will avail !
thenistl ves of the present opportunity to
vote for the ssteni which to them :
serins Irt'st. '
i
Ai.Tiiorcii there was no necessity for '
imparting the information, nevertheless
when ex-Congressman Klliott, vh ) was
a col rr.-d delegate to Chicago from South i
Carolina, seconded the nomination of !
John Sherman, he took occasion to in-)
form his Rcpublica". brethien of thecon- '
vei.tion tlir.t tliey need not expect to re-
ceive the vote of a single Southern State ;
for their candi'late, no matter who he 1
might be. No sensible Republican
doubts the truth cf KUiott's statement, '
and being one i" tic; most intelligent :
colored men in tho South, the Repuhli- !
cans may as well al'anilon all hope of
any aid for their candidate from that
quarter.
i
Bi.ANf he K. lliM iK. the colored U.
s. Senator from Miisisippi, in behalf of ,
whoso nomination at Chicago for the
Vice Pcesidency a strong and vigorous
etfort made 1 y some of the h ading '
t oloied men of tne country, was juit in
nomination before the convention and
received the beggarly amount of S votes
in a total of 7 "'. The collapse of this
I'.i uee balhj-ui will perhaps remove the
scales from the eyes cf "the man and
brother," but the chances are that he
v. ill continue to vote t!r. Radical ticket
in the future, as he has done in the past,
and i ut his trurt for lurk in Republi
can promises of the good time stiil to
come.
Cli i: i.i is to he pitied. During six
days it was compelled to sutler tho in
flict ion of tho Republican National Con
vention, which, by common consent of
nil the newspaper reporters, was noth
ing h -s than a howiing mob, and right
on tho hee ls of its final adjournment on
Tuesday rigid, this (Wednesday) morn
ing was ushered in as tho day for the
meet ing of the Greenback Nat ional ( 'mi
vention, with Dl-ius Kearney and the
no less notorious Brick Poineroy its two
of its leading spirits, who.-...' mission,
like that of "Black Jack I.og.m" and
"holy Bob Ingerso!!,"" in the first named
conventicle, is " to save tho Nation."
Burly Ben Butler has sai l that tho con
vention will display remarkable wisdom
by nominating him for the Presidency,
and his inordinate vanity will likely be
grat hied.
m: of the well known Flanagan
family of Texas .vas a delegate from
that Slate to the Chicago convention,
and beyond ail doubt made the shortest,
most cfsVr-tive and most convin- ing
sp"e. h ag ii::-t Mr. Hayes" boasted, but

the platform was under discussion,
Fianagan, honest and truthful, lose to
his full height, six feet two, and fully
appreciating tho true inwardness of the

Jtarnings. innocently exclaimed: " Yx'h-it

it is li numbered that George
l.r. President of the late R-publi-to
plliJ"a' Convention at Chicago,
twcl member of the Kiectoral Com
bnion, his speech on taking the chair
torhanie the proverbial impudence
? lightning rod-man or a patent-right
-cut. As a member of that commis
sion Iloarsinnedagair.st lightand know
ledge by voting to count Florida and
Louisiana for Hayes, and in doing so
com mitt edan unpardonable crimcagainst
the expressed w ill of the people in two
.States. Having thus covered himself
over with political infamy, he had the
tfTrontcry in his speech to the conven
tion to make the broad and sweeping
charge that one of the studied purpose s
of the Democratic party is hostility to .
honest f lections. It this was as true as
it is false, it does not lie in the mouth 1
of a man like Hoar, who aide! by his
vote in stealing the Prod icnev from the
lliillt who was honestly elected to parade
liimseif liefore the country as the defen
der of the purity of the baliot-box.
I What RpptiMican paper in this State j
I lias not, at some time or other, fiercely j
j denounced t lie Democracy of Delaware j
j tor maintaining the whiping-post and
l pillory as a mode of punishing the per
petrators of certain crimes and misde
meanors? In his bill of indictment
against the Democratic party submitted
to the Chicago convention by the Puri- j
taniral Hoar, President of that body of j
sainted Republicans, ho specifically
republicans, no specifically
that in Delaware the Democrat-I
charges
ic party "looks with complacency on !
the whipping-post." Three days after
, ' , , , ,. ,f ., :
Hoar had thus unbosomed himself the ;

Grand Jury of the Republican city of
Philadelphia, the fair inference being
that a majority of its members were, loy-

as the best mode of overcoming
; the present evil of overcrowded prisons."
i It is true that Judge Biddle did not, in
the few remarks lie made, agree with
j the Grand Jury in the views it had ex
pressed and the conclusion at which it
! had arrived, but the presentment estab
i lishes the fact that so intelligent a tri
i bunal as the Grand Jury of the second
j city in the country is presumed to be
! has arrived at the deliberate conclusion,
' after mature reikctior., that after all
i there may be some virtue in the whip
( ping-post as a punishment for a certain
i class of offenders. In view of the "com-
I placer.cv" with which this Grand Jury j
in the loyal city of Philadelphia looks :
' upon setting up the Delaware whipping- .
post, a new and unexpected field is open- j
ed up for Hoar's denunciation of w hat '
he regards as exclusively a Democratic 1
institution. i
The lloor of the Chicago convention
presented a most singular sjectace near
midnight on Friday last. The report of
the committee on credentials was under
discusson, and one of the three Grant
'"bosses," Logan, of Illinois, was howl
ing himself hoarse against the decision of
the committee excluding eighteen Grant
delegates from that State, being two
i'roui each of nine(. ongressional districts,
and supplying their places w ith eighteen
Blaine nun. Logan loudly protested
against "the deep damnation of their
taking off," and while denouncing the
Blaine men as retailers of the slang and
slander of the slums of Chicago, was
met with a storm of hisses and yells by
the Blaine crowd in the packed galler
ies ; and when order to some extent was
at hist restored, he in a broken voice
piteonsly exclaimed : "If you can beat
he old soldier, do it." "Don't beat the
old soldier by tricks,"" he continued ;
"do:i"t rob the old roMier that led youi
armies to victory by stealing his votes.'"
Logan said all this of the "Great Silent
Man" who at fust was to be nominated
only incase of a unanimous demand,
not merely by thecotnention, but by the
people. He was the only man in the
Republic who could save the country
an
its institutions despite the aggres
sive and ilangciou.-; strides of the still
rebellious South to get control of the
government ; and now the loud-mouthed
Logan utters a plaintive appeal against
i ruthlessly shattering his fond idol to
pieces. It was n it hard, at midnight on
Friday, for one who looked at the scene
. to distinguish the man in whose behalf
, Logan was sorrowfully appealing from
' George Washington without the use of
( spectacles. "Give the old man a chance
don't strike him afoul blow." Oh!
: what a fall was there, my countrymen !
The Republican National Convention
which met at Chicago on Wednesday of
his,t week, did not get down to the im
portant work of balloting for a Presi
dential candidate until hist Monday
morning at 11 o'clock. The first ballot
resulted as follows: Grant, :io4 ; Blaine
2 I ;
herinan, 'X', ; Ldniunds, 21; Wash-
burne, "": Windorn. 10. As it required
:57; votes to nominate, it will be seen
that Grant lacked 7" of that unrulier,
while Blaine fell short just 9". " Up to
10 o'clock at night, when the conven
tion adjourned until Tuesday morning,
twenty-eight ballots had been taken
with no substantial change in the vote
of the different candidates on the first
ballot. It may be here stated that
James A. Garfield, of Ohio, received Otif
vote on the third ballot, tn-o on the sixth
and'ex on the thirteenth. On Tuesday,
alter the convent ion met. eight add it ion
al ballots were taken, the thirty-fifth
resulting pretty inii'.-ii as tho first except
that Garfield had .ov, ,n-r,i. On the
thirty-sixth and last ballot Hie vote was:
Grant, :;00 ; Blaine, 42; Garfield, o.i'.i.
Garfield having received 20 more votes
than were necessary to a choice, was de
clared nominated.
Tii' convention then procr-ded to nom
inate ii candidate for Vice President,

Mayi.ar J. :': Bruce, : Alcorn, 4; Davis,

nominee, and at half past '." o'clock, r.

win) was the admitted leader of the
Grunt forces at the Chicago convention,
although engaged in an infamous under
taking in which he most signally and
deservedly failed, displayed very supe
rior generalship in his (ntire manage
ment of tho struggle. No ot her man,
we think, could h ive hi Id the Grant
colufiin together so long and so success
fully. It remained firm and unbroken
to the very last, an 1 when Grant went
down to defeat on the thirty-sixth bal
lot, the same third-term phalanx, three
hundred strong, that had entered into
the fight at tin; start, was there solid and
compact, though powerless, with Cock
ling, immovable and defiant, at its head.
Tur. ( liiciipo hnJ Attcs, afinrat or
pan, of Saturday last said thai if Grant
should be defeated in the convention it
would as certainly rt suit in I he defeat of
the Ih publican party, and that "the
chances are more than even that the
coiivi ntion can nominate no man now
who will Si'.ethe IJcp'iti'ican jvu-y from

Would it not be well, if the project of
dividing New York State be carried out,
to name the new State Tammany, inas
much as the scheme is not a new one,
but was talked of in the days of Tweed.
By th? way, too. if Pennsylvania is di
vided, and "Philadelphia city and a few
ad joining count ies be incorporated into
a State, it wouldn't be a bad idea to call
it Tammany also, as a century ago St.
Tammany's Wigwam was a famous re
sort on the banks of the Schuylkill, in
this city. Yes. by all means let both
new States be named Tammany. May
we not have two Tammany States as
well its two Virginias. tw:r Carolina,
two Jeorgias, and t wo Tennessees. The
proposed New York Tammany would be
composed of the count ies of New York,
Westchester and Richmond, togethtr
with Long Island, which altogether have
more than one-half the population of the
State, and what is more interesting, thev

between the N"e York and Brooklyn '

THE CI.OslXO Or THE (HI'NCII.. j
The ceremonies of the first Provincial '
Council of Philadelphia, the greatest j
event in the anna's of this diocese, ron- i
eluded at the Cathedral with an ornate '
ritual of the most imposing character. !
The Cathedral was packed with wor- '
shippers, in some places persons being .
obliged to stand on the pews in order to j
obtain a view of 4he altar. The altar ,
was profusely decorated with flowers and
gleamed with many lights. Thedraiery
was of rich lace, with gold trimmings, ;
and the Archbishop's t hi one was hung ,
with heavy curtains of yellow silk, held
up by tassels of green and gold. Tha
Archbishop and his suffragans wore
robed in full canonicals. The Council
officers and theologians wore copes heav- ;
i!y embroidered with gold, and the parish
I priestsworewhite ornamented chasubles. .
Bishop Mullen, of Frie, well known in
i Cambria county, having years ago pre
i sided over the churches in Johnstown ''
and Wilniure, preached the closing ser
; inon. taking his text from the gospel of
the day Luke. 14th cliapterand luthto
' 24th verses which relate the parable o!" '
: Christ in reference to thoso who offered ;
, excuses for absenting themselves from '
the marriage feast. Tho Right Rever
end speaker concluded with a niiisterly
and eloquent argument in support of the
j doctrine of the chief of the Apostles
i having been constituted the head of the
Church. The sermon was an able and
eloquent effort, and w as listened to with
, the greatest interest.
The various decrees agreed upon by
! the Council during its session were an
nounced preparatory to being transrnit
. ted to Rome to receive the Pope's confir
, mation. Probably the most, important
! doom; was that in ngardlo secret or
. ganizat ions. While I he Council discuss-
ed at length Mollie Maguircism in con
nection with the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, it did not connect the latter
order nominally w ith the former in tho
decree. The paper reiterated the fre-
quei.t warnings of the ch rgy against the
evils wrought by secret societies or bo
il ies, and railed attention to the action
of Archbishop Wood ill refusing to ad
minister the sacraments of the Church to
known members or a secret organization
in this diocese. In considering the sub
ject of tin; Archbishop's action in w ith
holding the sacrament undt r such c:r-
cmnstauces, there wasgcr.cial expression
of opinion among the clergy that the
Holy See woind sanction tho course ta-
ken by the Archbishop.

From a series of systematic investiga
tions of the Philadelphia 77,k.s into the
number of men. women and children
w ho attend church in tho city, it appears
that most of the church-going is done by
women, and the proportion of men in an
ordinary congregation diminishes as they
rise in the social scale, until it is found
that the most fashionable churches have
the smallest number of men. The Times
investigation lias also shown that while
in Philadelphia the Protestant Episcopa
lians are far less numerous tiun the
Catholics, they have '.'4 churches, while
the Catholics have only 41. Whilethere

without the aid of Louis XVI. in men,
money and the ainunit ions of war with
which he supported hisearly recognition
of our independence, American self-government
would not have been attained
for many more weary years, and the col

States, a Republic, and reflects our free
popular principles with illustrious cour

hence, shall not be merely a national
one, but an international one. Tho
