tho I'hllaritlphla Ledger mys: They

aud fuperAbnundlng enthusiacm. It
needed do more linn a glance at tho ns
scmblago in the Hall to brine couvictlnu
not only of tho stiadfast earuestuess of
their purposo, but of the energy they are
putting into their work. If any one.
cither friend or opponent, had doubts on
these points, the doubts must be dissi
pated now. The man who makes np es,
timates of tho prolablo result of the No
vember election in Feunsjlvania, and
fails to take in the Independent move
mont as a most important and possibly
decisive factor, will make a delusive reck
oning for himself aud for whatever party
he chances to represent. Tho movement
is real, widespread and intense.
"A nominating Convention without a
BUte" was so clearly a fixed pnrp"se,that
nobody could doubt its genuine reality
and we do not believo that even tho best
informed of the most active men in the
movement could have guessed at the tick'
ct ns it now stands. Whatever else may
be said about the Convention, it must bo
admitted that its members followed the
anti-michine sentiment nul feeling that
gave reason for Us existence clear to the
end of its logical conclusion.
Tho first thing to be said about the
ticket collectively is, that It is composed
entirely of men of cljau public and pri
Tate reputation ; aud, next, that the
nominees arc nearly all in the vigor of
young manhood. Individually, wo bo-
gin with John Sleart, who is present
State Senator from tho Franklin district,
and a Senator with an honorable record,
Tnere is no such smirch ou his Senatori
al history ns covers those ot Messrs,
D.wics and Greer on the "Regulars'
ticket. He is n man that any independ
ent citizen mty vote for without the fe 1
ing tint U3 insulted the almost unaui
inous wish of the pcoplo of this city, as
Davies and Greer did. Mr. Stenart is
an attentive Senator aud a good voter.
He is a lawyer, about forty-three years
old, was a faithful soldicr.aud is a strong
man among his immediate neighbors,
Colonel Levi Bird Duff, the nominee
for Lieutenant-Governor, is aUo a law
yar. la the forty-fifth year of his age,
stands well with the people of Allegheny
county, where he resides, was a most
gall-iut soldiers during the war against
the rebellion, aud, like Geuer.il Heaver
on the "Regular" tieket, he lelt a leg on
tho battle-Hold. As n choice fur I'hila
delphians between him and Davics ou
tho regular ticket, it Is all the world to
nothing.
George W. Merrick, the nominee for
Secretary of Internal Affairs, is a sturdy
Independent of Tioga county, very pop
ular iu that region; n lawjer, too, aud
another of tha group of soldiers al
ready in this cauvuss, who go into the
political battle iniuus a leg lust iu fight
ing the enemies of the country. II j pos
flosses more popularity than intellectual
force, but oven iu this, ivs iu his politi
cal independence, he is vastly prcferabU
to Senator Greer.who favon the "spoils"
system of government for PuiLulelphU.
The remaining two nomiuei-s, George
Juukin for Justice of the Suptcme Court,
and Col. William MoMiuhael for Cm-gressuun-at-Large,
are among our own
people, and need but little description or
detail of their tl tiess among their towns
men, with whom they staud sj veil. Mr.
Junkiu is a member or the bar iu the
very best standing and a full praetico,
learned in the 1 iw, and of high personal
reputation. He is in his tifty-fllth ymr.
Colonel William MoMlchael, nominee
for Coi cressuian at Large, is among tho
most esteemiblo citizens of Philadelphia.
He is another Lawyer soldier.haviug gone
to the front when the country ucedod the
help of such men. Ho is in tho ripe age
of young manhood, too, like tho rist of
his colleagues, briug in his forty fifth
year, wo believo. Professionally ho has
been AssiiUut Attorney General of the
United States, District Attorney of the
United States for the Kistern District ol
l'cunsylvatiia, aud was strongly enter
tained by I'rtsideut Hiyes for appoint

The National Jockey Club held its in
augural races yesterday at Ivy City. The
weather was bright and clear, but the
track was heavy in places. The attend
mice was good and among the most dis
tinguished visitors were President Ar
thur, ro3tniaBter-General Howe, mem
bers of the Chinese and Japaneso Lega
tions, Senators Bock, Davis and Johnston
and ex-Governor Pachceo, of California.
The racing as a whole was very good.
President Arthur is the first President
since Ituchnuan who has thus shown bis
interest in tho great horse-breeding in
terest of the country. President Duchan-
an. Pierce, Tjler and Van Burcn were all
good judges of horseflesh, nud were all
therelore fond of witnessing the races of
their day in Marylaud and Virginia.
General Grant, fond as be was of horses,
never attended the races during his Pres
idencj not even at Long Braucb while
passing his summer there.
There is some cnrior.ity expressed as to
the cause of the delay by the Senate spec
ial committee to investigate the whisky
ring iu proceeding to work. For a week
pakt pointed statements havo daily np
peared l.ero alleging the existence of n
Ijicantic lobby to forco through the whis

After the many diversions of last week
society has been taking a rest and there
havo been few social gatherings, except
at the iufornial day receptions. Alter tho
fatigues of tho tea pirly iu the rotunda,
on Saturday evening, iu aid of the Gar
field Memorial Hospital, the rest was
needed. Except for the glamour about
an entertainment in the Capital, which,
of course, attracts more pcopio than nn
ordinary hall would, aud, moreovtr,co9ts
nothing for rcnt.it must be oonceded that
the rotunda is not the best plaie for a tea
party or dance. There was some associ
ations of tho Capital with Garfield, his
political career, his inauguration there as
President, with more pomp and display
than has ever been witnessed nt that of
any American President, mid his funeral
iu that very rotunda. The floral bower
with its gay decoraticus, au annex to the
Now York tables, supplied with flowers
by his successor, stood where Garfield's
coffin rested last September and the
shields of the several States, which had
decorated the National Museum building
for the inauguration ball, were used at
tho tables as decoratlous. The spcctacla
was a very lino one aud States made a
very credltablo display at their several
tables.
Seuatnr Pendleton, on behalf of tho
committee ou civil service aud retrench-
uiout, has preseuted to tho Senate a re
port iu advocacy of the passage of the
bill "To regulato nud improvo the civil
service of the United Stales," which was
reported to the Seunto on the 29th of
March last. Tha report reviews the
growth of the Government cince its foun
dation aud the effect of (his growth ou
tho civil service. Referring to what is
known as the "spoils system' and its ef
fect upou the President, it maintains that
instead of duvotiug his tinio to great
questions of statesmanship he must spent!
most of it iu weighing iu the balance the
political considerations "that shall de
termine the claim of this fri-'nd or that
political supporter to the possession ot
some cilice of profit or honor under him."
The abuss under this system, the com
mittee assert, have grown out of n sys
tem comparatively new iu our Govern
ment. Appointments because of special
fitness and removal for cause were the
rule iu eurly history. The report, after
quoting from views heretofore expressed
by Presidents Grant, Hayes, Garfield aud
Arthur, in favor of regulating the civil
service by law, closes by urgiog the pas
sage of the bill.
The committee investigating the sta
tionery office of the Treasury Department
has come across a French Clock, found
iuthe Ex-Custodian 1'itoey'a hauds,which
was paid for out of publio funds. This
man Pitney has found it a very convent
eut way ol lurnUhing his own house ilh
various luxuries for which tho payment
wag made iu a similar m.mucr. Ho mado
regular requisitions upon the proper au
thoritles claiming and stating that these
things were for the uso of the Treasury
Department, while in fact, and after they
weio delivered to the Department he ap
propriated these things for his own pri
vate use or for tho use of the Sherman
Campaign Committee. Thus through
oao man a dishonesty the honor and iu
tegrity of many well known gentlemen
counectod with the Treasury Department
have suffered to a very great extent It
is a great'misfortuns to Senator Sheimau
that those who find Out these things
won't keep I hem to themsolvcs.
The folly nnd impraollbility of night
sessions of Congress has been pretty well
illustrated once or twice lately, especial
ly in the House. The other night nt the
hour of meeting tho pro tciu Speaker
grasped tho gavel and called to order n
Houso composed of two Members, flvo
reporters.and n dozen or more pages who,
lounging In tho Rents of Members.dreamt
of future Congressional honors. Then
nrose one of these two Members nnd with
grent imprcsscdness proceeded to deliver
a written nnd carefully prepared speech
in favor of the bill under consideration
A story is told of "Fritz when in a
Western town be naw tho curtain rise nnd
nn audience of cue crowding the renr of
the auditorium. Recovering from his
consternation nnd resisting the appeals
of his company to refund to the audience
his entrance fee, "Fritz" advanced to the
footlights nud inviting the solitary audit
or to talio n front seat acted with more
than his ordinary vim. The ntory get
ting out thero was no lack of spectators
during the remainder of'IrllZH htay,
nud bis first night's audience always had
n choice seat. Dut everybody is n'lt n
"Fritz," aud an nndleueeof one Is some
thing of n damper npon the eloqneuee of
a Member of Congress. Tbi3 is a Bpeci-
men of night lies inns, except those held
as a continuation of somocxcillug politi
cal squibblo. There were present dur
ing the entire oveniug not mora than a
dozen Members, most of whom delivered
written speeches to empty benches. It
is hard to divine the utility of this faroi
cal proceeding. It is not for the purpose
of influencing votcs.for there are uo votes
to Influence; not for the purpose of re
ceiving applause, for thero is no one to
applaud; 'not lor tho purpose of becom
