Tun number of immigrants who ar
rived at New York during the month
of May was unprecedented, being 5i,0S3.
The total number of arrivals since the
beginning of the year was 13-VJ.')0, which
is aoout 17, Oh) more than tli" aggregate ;
during the corresponding months of 172, :
when immigration was exceptionally !
large. The number of arrivals during j
June promises to exceed the inpouring j
of last month. 3.404 having landed on j
the first dav of the month." '
Os Tuesday f last .veek the Phila
delphia I'iil;i iVi-ori! entered upon its
third year as a penny newspaper. When
the 17'corrl ;s i'nt 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
f lint '.". I'M M I fiiul 1'iLnn iHnfffiHipr w ruin

of the very ablest and best conducted
journals in the country. '
Having on a previous occasion dis- !
i listed the several propositions to be
submitted to the Democrats of this,
county at the approaching delegate elec- ;
tion, we "need only urge them at this j
time to turn out and give effect to their j
convictions on these important ques-
tions. There is certainly a need for j
.some change in the present method of !
selecting delegates to our county con-
vent ions, and we hoie that all will avail j
themselves of the present opportunity to ;
vote for the system which to them
seems lest. :
Although there wasno necessity for
imparting the information, nevertheless
when ex-Congressman Elliott, who was
a rolwd delegate to Chicago from South i
Carolina, seconded the nomination of 1
John Sherman, he took occasion to in- )
form his Republican bretluen of thecon-
ver.tion thi.t they need not expect to re- ;
ceive the vote of a single Southern State ;
for their candidate, no matter who he 1
might be. N'o sensible Republican
doubts the truth of Elliott's statement, ';
and being one of tlr: most intelligent ;
color-id men in the South, the Repnbli- 1
cans may as well abandon all hope of
any aid for their candidate from that
quarter.
Bi.ani he K. Bruce, the colored U.
S. Senator from Mississippi, in behalf of
whose nomination at Chicago for the
Vice l'cesidency a strong and vigorous
effort was made by some of the hading
colored men of tne country, was put in
nomination before the convention and
received the beggarly amount of S votes
in a total of 7''. The eoilapse of this
Bruce balloon will perhaps remove the
scales from the eves of "the man and
brother," but the chances are that he
will continue to vote th;- Radical ticket
in the fut nre, as he has done in the past,
and j i;t his ti i..-t for lurk in Republi
can promises of the good time still to
come.
Cni: Af.o is to be pitied. During six
days it was compelled to sutler the in
fliction ,f the Republican National Con
vention, which, l y common consent of
all the newspaper reporters, was noth
ing Ies than a howling mob, and right
on the heels of its final adjournment on
Tuesday sight, this (Wednesday) morn
ing was ushered in as the day for the
meeting of the Greenback National Con
vention, ith Denis Kearney and the
r.o less notorious l'rick Pomeroy as two
of its J.-ading spirits, who.-e mission,
like that of "Black Jack Logan" and
"holy Boh Ingersoil," in the first named
conventicle, is "to .cave the Nation."
Buriy Ben ButhT has said that the con
vention will display remarkable wisdom
by nominating him for the Presidency,
and his inordinate vanity will likely be
gratiiied.
Om: of the well known Flanagan
family of Texas ,vas a delegate from
that State to the Chicago convention,
and beyond all doubt made the shortest,
most effective and most, convincing
speech against Mr. Hayes" boasted, but
obsolete, civil service reform that has
ever b( en delivered. When that part of
the platform was under discussion,
Flanagan, honest and truthful, lose to
his full height, six feet two, and fully
appreciating the true inwardness of the
crowd around him, as well as his own
yearnings, innocentlv exclaimed: " Yh"t

over with political infamy, he had the
effrontery in his speech to the conven
tion to make the broad and sweeping
charge that one cf the studied purijses
of the Dcfno-.ratic parly is hostility to
honest elections. It this wa as true as
it is false, it does not lie in the mouth ;

Gratnl Jury of the Republican city of
Philadelphia, the fair inference being :
11
! that a majority of its members were loy
! al Republicans, came into Judge Bid-
1 die's court with a presentment in which j
they recommend the enactment of a law j

i It is true that Judge Biddle did not, in
j the few remarks he made, agree with
j the Grand Jury in the views it had ex
. pressed and the conclusion at which it
J had arrived, but the presentment estalv
1 lishes the fact that so intelligent a tri
I bunal as the Grand Jury of the secoud
city in the country is presumed to be
has arrived at the deliberate conclusion,
after mature reflection, that after all
, . , ' . , .
there may be some virtue in the whipping-post
as a punishment for a certain
class of offenders. In view of the "com
placency" with which this Grand Jury
in the loyal city of Philadelphia looks
upon setting up the Delaware whipping
post, a new and unexpected field is open
ed up for Hoar's denunciation of what
he regards as exclusively a Democratic
iu.-titution.
Tut: floor of the Chicago convention
presented a most singular spectacle near j
midnight on Friday last. The report of i
the committee on credentials was under j
discusson, and one of the three Grant i
"bos.es," Logan, of Illinois, was howl- j
ing himself hoarse against the decision of !
the committee excluding eighteen Grant ,
delegates from that State, being two
from each of nineC ongressional districts, :
and supplying their places with eighteen
Blaine men. Logan loudly protested
amst. "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 last restored, he in a broken voice
pileously exclaimed : "If you can beat
the old soldier, do it." "Don't beat the
old soldier by tricks," he continued ;
"don't rob the old foldier that led youi
armies to victory by stealing his votes."
Logan said all this of the "(neat Silent
Mini" who at first was to bf nominated
only in case of a unanimous demand,
not merely by thecomcntion, but by the
people. He was the only man in the
Republic who could save the country
and i;.s institutions despite the aggres
sive and dangeious strides of the still
rel-eiiious South te get control of the
government; and now the loud-mouthed
Logan utters a plaintive appeal against
ruthlessly shattering his fond idol to
pieces. It was n l 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
scetacles. "(Jive the old man a chance
don't strike him afoul blow." Oh!
what a fall was there, my countrymen !
The Republican Xalional Convention
which met at Chicago on Wednesday of
last week, did not get down to the im-
, . , r i, -
portant work of balloting for a 1 res.- .
dential candidate until last Monday !
morning at 11 o'clock. The first ballot
resulted as follows: Grant, 304; Blaine
21 ; Sherman, .: ; Edmunds, 21; Wash
burne, Wiudom. H. As it required
.'i7;i votes to nominate, it will be seen
that Grant lacked 7" of that number,
while Blaine fell short just 9"i. " 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 oiic
vote on the third ballot, t"-o on the sixth
and o. a- on the thirteenth. On Tuesday,
alter the convention met, eight addition
al ballots were taken, the thirty-fifth
resulting pretty miieli as the first except
that Garfield had fn-rnitcm. On the
thirty-sixth ami last ballot the vole was:
(.rant, .lOd ; Blaine, 42; Garfield, o.i'.i.
Garfield having received 20 more votes
than were necessary to a choice, was de
clared nominated.
The convention then proceded to nom
inate a candidate for Vice President,

who was the admitted leader of the
Grant forces at the Chicago eon vei. tion,
although engaged in an ii;f.im us under
taking in which he most signally and
deservedly failed, displayed very supe
rior generalship in '.is entire manage
ment of the struggle. N'o of. her man.
we think, could have In. M I he Grant
colufhn together so long and so success
fully. It remained firm and unbroken
to the very last, and when Grant went
down to defeat on the thirty-sixth bal
lot, the same third-term phalanx, three
hundred strong, that had entered into
thelight at the start, was there solid and
compact, though invwerless, with Conk
ling, immovable and defiant, at its head.
Tjh: Chicago 7" '?.- A'te.-.s, a Grant or
gan, of Saturday last said that if Grant
should Ire defeated in the convention it
would as certainly n suit in Ihe defeat of
the Ih publican party, and that "the

THE DIVIDING OF NEW YORK.
In my last letter I spoke of New York
city talking about seceding from the
State of New York. The scheme is not
a new one, as it was talked about in the
days of Tweed. The public would be
surprised at the great number of promi
nent citizens of lth parties who are
identified with the movement. Party
politics, it is said, is not at the bottom
of the movement, which is more in op
position to the alleged jiersistent hostile
legislation of the rest of the State against
i New York. As before stated, tl.e liti
i cal reform society has been organized to
i bring matters before the people in a pub
i lie address. The address will be a busi
I ness-lik" presentation of political and
; economical facts, going to show that it
; is for the interest of the Stateentire that
I the separation should lie made.
I Would it. not be well, if the project of
' dividing New York State be carried out,
: to name the new State Tammany, inas
i much as the scheme is not a new one,
j but was talked of in the days of Tweed,
i Bv tho wav, too. if Pennsylvania is di
vided, and Philadelphia city and a few
it lamiiianv also, as a century ago st
Tammany's Wigwam was a famous re
sort on t he 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 as two Virginias, twj Carolinas,
two Georgias, and t wo Tennessees. The
proposed New York Tammany would be
composed of the counties of New York,
Westchester and Richmond, together
with Long Island, which altogether have
more than one-half the population of the
State, and what is more interesting, they
have one hundred thousand Democratic
majority. In spite of the bitter hostility
between the Xew York and Brooklyn
riags. John Kelly would stand a fair
chance of l ing its first Governor.
T1IF. CLOSING M THE COUNCIL.
The ceremonies of the first Provincial
: Council of Philadelphia, the greatest
, event in the annals of this diocese, con
cluded at the Cathedral with an ornate
' ritual of the most imposing character,
i The Cathedral was packed with wor
shippers, m some places persons being
obliged to stand on the pews in order to j

was profusely decorated with flowers ami
gleamed with many lights. The draery
was of rich lace, with gold trimmings,
and the Archbishop's tin one was hung
with heavy curtains of yellow silk, held
up by tassels of green and gold. Thy
Archbishop and his suffragans were
robed in full canonicals. The Council
officers and theologians wore copes heav
ily embroidered with gold, and t lie parish
priestsworewhite ornamented chasubles.
Bishop Mullen, of Erie, well known in
; Cambria county, having years ago pre
i sided over the churches in Johnstown
: and Wilnioie, preached the closing ser
mon, taking his text from the gospel of
the day Luke. 14th chapter and l',thto
24th verses which relate the parable of
Christ in reference to those who olTered i
excuses for absenting themselves from
the marriage feast. The Right Rever
end speaker Concluded with a masterly
and eloquent argument in support of the
doctrine of the chief of the Apostles
having been constituted the head of the
Church. The sermon was an able and
e -..mem euoii, anu uasi.s.icneu to with
the greatest interest,
Xht varimis decrees agreed upon by
the Council during its session were an-
nonnced preparatory to being transmit
ted to Rome to receive the Pope's confir
mation. Probably the most. imnortaTit
decree was that in r gard to secret or- :
gani.ations. While the Council discuss
ed at length Mollie Maguireism in con-
nection with the Ancient Order of Hi-
bernians, it did not connect the hitter !
order nominally with the former in the '
decree. The paper reiterated the fre- !
qiient warnings of the clergy against the
evils wrought by secret societies or bo- i
dies, and called attention to the action
of Archbishop Wood in refusing to ad- .
minister the sacraments of the Church to ;
knoivn members of a secret organization j
in this diocese. In considering the sub
ject of the Archbishop's action in with- 1
holding the sacrament undtr such c:r-
cnnistances, there was general expression
of opinion among the, clergy that the
Holy See would sanction the course ta
ken by the Archbishop.
PHILADELPHIA A CENTURY AGO.
In last week's lettrr the notes on Phil
adelphia in 17S.3 were concluded by giv
ing the iiiimiKT of lawyers at that date.
In 17s." Philadelphia had srvtntem min
isters of the gospel, and of the seventeen
five were Presbyterians, four Episcopa
lians, two Catholics, two Baptists. on
Calvinist, one Lutheran and one Jewish ;
pastor. 1 here are now in this citv near
ly six hundred churches, meeting houses
formed ,20 ; Lutheran. :', : Friends .1:5 :
Hebrews, 11 ; Heformed Episcopalians,
i 8; Universalists, ti : Christian Independ
; cuts. 4 : Moravians 3 ; Swedenhorgians,
! 3; United ISrethren in Christ, 3; Dunk
; ards, 2; Church of Christ, 2; P.ible
Christians. 1. and Christadelpln'ans, 1.
From a series of systematic investiga
tions of the Philadelphia T'n,vx into the
' number of men, women anil children
who attend church in the city, it appears
that most of the church-going is done by
i women, and the proportion of men in an
ordinary congregation diminishesasthey
rise in the social scale, until it is found
that the most fashionable churches have
the smallest number of men. The Time
investigation has also shown that while
in riuiaueip'natho Protestant Lpiscopa- '
bans are far less numerous than the 1
atholif-s. they have 14 churches, while
the Catholics have only 41. Whilethere
were but few churches and a small num
ber of ministers in Philadelphia a cen
tury ago, there were lots of inns and
fjohs of inhkeepers, of which something
may lie said in my next letter. Py the
way. it may not be amiss at this writing
to say that one century ago there were
no rin'ja in Philadelphia, and no gas
mains and water pi;es to supply material
for piling up big bil!s.

framers of the Constitution were podless I

God and the laws of God in framing that j mer, clipped 281 pounds of choice wool

State, declines a nomination for re-elec- !
tion. When men like Senator Gordon ;
and Representative Mitchell pick up j
their hats and say good-bye to pubiic
life, it is a rratter of deep interest to !
thoughtful civilians. Mr. Mitchell is '
an unllinching Republican, and certainly I
a very honest man. We regret sincere- !
ly that he cannot transfer his Congres- I
sional skill to his successor. Mr. Mitch- i
ell's reason for declining is an excellent j
oiik, but it is quite likely that it will not ,
be accepted by his jeople, and that they j
will return him without making him !
buy his nomination. As stated in a '
former letter, t he cold, unsympathizing !
world does not fully appreciate the lie
roism and patriotism of a Congressman
or U. S. Senator who honestly, faithfully
and patiently attends to his arduous leg
islative duties. Mr. Mitchell should not
lie allowed, now that he has a knowledge
of Congressional hdim-.t, to tumble out
to make room for an apprentice hand.
I It is probably hoping against hope, but I
; nevertheless hope that Mr. Mitchell's
j Republican supporters will take my view
: of the matter and give him a nomination
without making him pay for it, and not
exchange an honest representative for
' one who could not fill the bill better, and
j possibly would not do it so well.
THE YOUKTOWN PAGEANT.
The owner of "Temple Farm," which
uinent, and the citizen soldiery of Nor
folk will give a number .of excursions
and amusements in order to obtain the
funds necessary to enable them properly
to entertain the Centennial Legion,
which i.5 exieeted to be a prominent fea
ture of the Yorktown pageant. In view
of the passage by the Senate of the
House bill appropriating SIsOhm for a
monument at Yorktown, and $.'!o,MX) for
the cost of the pioposed centennial cele
bration in Octoler of next year, the res-
idents of that vicinity are showing a dis- 1
position to dothcir part towards making '
the affair a complete success. The sur
render of Lord Corn wall is at Yorktown.
in 17S4. was, in the judgment of our Itest
informed historians, the crowning vic
tory of the Revolution, ami it is their
deliberate judgment that Lafayette's
operations led to the final environment
and capture of Corn wall is. There is no
doubt about this crowning victory of the
Revolution being in a great part due to !
I- ranee. Jt is not too much to say that
without the aid of Louis XVI. in men,
monev and the amunitions of tvar w ith
which he supported hisearlv recognition
... . r
of our independence ? American self-gov- i county, was blown down, the roof fall
ernment would not have been attained ' ing on the congregation. Twenty per
for many more weary years, and the col- sons were injured, t hreeol them fat all v."
on.es, like the t anadas, would have re
mained dependencies to the British
Crown. France is now, like the United
States, a Republic, and reflects our free
popular principles with illustrious cour
age amidst the environments of Euro-IH-an
monarchies. In view of this retro
spect it is demanded by all the proprie
ties of the occasion that the centennial
of Yoiktown, in a little over a vear
hence, shall not be merely a national
one, but an international one. The
countrymen of Lafayette, SteuU n. De
Kalb. Kasi-iusko and Pulaski should all
be bidden to our grand festival of free
dom. Indeed all nations mav be wel-
coined. America is. in fact," the free
heritage of the whole human race, and
it is lit and desirable that the people of
every nation should be represented at
Yoiktown in 1S1. (;. x. S.
The New York I-,-d,l publishes a
