It is indeed astounding, if in the great city of New Yerk, full of newspapers and intelligence as it is, the closing-out flag ever even its greatest house has se bereft people of their wits. Correspondence el the Public Ledger. New Yerk, May 20. During the past live weeks a leading dry goods firm in Broadway has dispeed et up wards et four million dollars' worth et mer chandise. It is true the linn in question have announced their intention te retire from bus! ness, and the eagerness of purchasers there fore may be possibly imputed te an expecta tion et great bargains ; but I am assured that the great bulk of the goods sold were at mar ket prices. The house has still remaining en hand about $1,S30,OCO worth of goods, and these they confidently expect te close out, and that tee without any sacrifice, before midsummer. Our own trade, se far this year, has mere than kept up the rate of increase of last year ; but with us, such growth is the result net of a closing business, but expanding ; net of taking prices from ethers but of making prices without much regard te who is selling out. Never be fore, perhaps, have we been se favored in the matter of getting great quantities of geed and timely merchandise below value. It is such getting that brings us such sellincr Philadelphians are tee slew- sure and tee steadfast te lese their heads.

GATHERING MLEGaW THE AN1I-UAMEKON CONVENTION. -Tlltehefl, WeHe and Merrick in Philadel phia The one Legged Soldier's Gu bernatorial Beem. Philadelphia, May 23. Among to day's arrivals of delegates te the Inde pendent Republican state convention te be held here te-morrow are several of these who will be among the mere conspicuous in the convention, including United States Senater Mitchell, Charles S. Wolfe, Majer Merrick and ethers. The last named, who is the one-legged soldier, pest master of Wellsboro, begins te loom up as one of the most popular candidates for the first place en the Independent Repub lican ticket, though it is simply impossible at this time te give even a reasonably fair guess as te who will be the choice of the convention for the position. The two largest delegations, Philadel phia and Allegheny, are net likely te uuite upon one man for standard bearer. Al legheny wants Judge Agncw nominated for coverner, though Cel. Duff, who heads the delegation, says the latter would support Marshall, of Pittsburgh, for the place, new that Marshall has declined the nomination tendered him en the regular Republican ticket. One of the peculiar features of the con vention is that Wharten Barker, one of the fathers of the Independent movement, lias been sent as a delegate from Montgomery county, with instructions te vote for Wayne MacVeagh for supreme judge, though he is a zealous Rawle man. As te Marshall. Hen. GeerjieLcar, president of the Re publican state convention, arrived in the city this merninsr. He savs he has no further doubts that The.!. M. Marshall has declined the nomination as cengressman-at-Iarge ou the Republican ticket, though the letter said te have been addressed te him by Mr. Marshall, had net yet reached him. Mr. Lear thought the letter of de cimatien mignc pessiuiy nave eeen in his mail of this morning which had net arrived when he left his home in Doylestown this morning. Upen being asked whether the state central committee would net till tha vacancy en the ticket, Mr. Lear said very decidedly that the vacancy would net bu tilled in that way, but that the coventieu itself with se much time in which te take action would be re-assembled. He thought it would be absurd for the state ceutial committee or any ether body te assume te act for the people at large in such a matter after the convention had se recently adopted resolution?, expressing it as the popular sentiment that nomina tions .should be made by popular methods.
