most prebablu that this ignorance Is

because the confession el a disastrous

Tne announcement that had gene out,
of serious factional troubles among the
Democracy of New Jersey and the alien
alien of many of the party leaders from
tlie organization this year, is effectually
contradicted by the proceedings of the
state convention yesterday. Called at n
very het season, only te name electors, It
attracted a full attendance, and its
makeup was a most marked contrast te
that of the " spiritless gathering " re
cently assembled by the Republicans for
a like purpose. The spectacle of Gen.
McClellan presiding is scarcely a less
vivid contrast witli that of the notorious
P.mgberne, the ex-revenue collector
from .Jersey City, who " r.m " the late
Republican ceremony. HuUvcen the
two men there is all the difference of a
gallant soldier aud eminent citizen and a
notorious and disreputable party hack.
Gen. McClellan's speech was a terse,
vigorous and graphic statement of the
issues of the pending struggle, and the
satisfaction with which It was received
will command wlde aud respectful
attention from the thousands of Repub
lican soldiers and citizens who admire
and trust him. Gov. Abbett's appear
ance and speech before the contention,
ex Senater Stockton's presence, and
Senater Mcl'hersen's telegram were
suillcient answer te the repeit that these
nud ether distinguished leaders of the
New Jersey Democracy would give less
than their eutite energies te the geed
causa this year.
New Jersey has only once since lNd
given any of her electoral vote te a Ro Re
publlcau candidate for president. She
will net make any nuv departure this

Tiik Philadelphia limca and the ..Yen.'
Era are having a discussion as te the
propriety of denouncing JJlnlue for his
libel suit. The JVcic Era appears pro
foundly convinced that the Tunis Is
deeply wrong In attributing te Mr.
Rlalne auytliing but .the loftiest motives
and the highest sensibilities in Hying te
the law te defend the honor of his fam
ily. The Times, which has a habit of
preresslug ita belief that tlie Jfcie Era
cau be Benalble when It wants te be, as
sumes te buliove that It Is really indig
nant with it for iutlmatlng that Dlaine'a
motives were anything but lefty, and his
action anything but wise, in suing the
Indianapolis paper, after forgiving tlie
Kansas paper and the Chicago paper i
and auing tee, for money damages in tlie
Unlted States court. It is quite amus
ing te sea the bowing aud scraping with
which the Times comes up te the blus
tering New Era and hopes itwlll believe
It te be really sincere when It professes
that it is friendship wounds it deals
upon Mr. Ulalne. The Times seems of
late te be somewhat unsteady in ita
steering, but we really never thought it
would get ae far as te preress that its
blows at Rlalne were friendship's. Frem
such Mr. li. may justly ask te be ex
cused. We have no particular interest
in the newspaper parley te which we
rcrer; uut we mink It might be Im
proved by a little mere et tlie hammer

Tun Democrats of Dauphtn county
have made a wise selection in the nomi
nation of Mr. Henry 0. McCermlck for
the Senate against the " Thompson
with n 'Pi'" who recently defeated
Andrew Jackseu Herr for the aonaterul
nomination. The district is strongly
Republican, but Thompson la excep
tleually weak and McCermlck is ex
ceptienally strong. In the cengres
stennl canvass of 1872 he carried
Dauphin by 1-19 majority, and Micro Is no
reason why he should net de it this year.
The gain of a Democratic senator from
the rifleenth would be a great gain Ut

of his party ; but If the Republicans
think he has no opinions en tlie ques

they need only possess theli souls in pa

its ebject the solidifying of the Irish raae

At the ringing of the church bell they
formed in line aud, pacing out tu'e Sum

the cathedral by the main doorway.
Archbishop Ryan, in glittering petittliclal,
jolued them. First walked a noero of
acolytes in soirlet seutanes and capes and
laee surplices; then canie the priests, co
eular and regular, and tint representatives
of tlie ruale religious orders. The vcuer
able Monsignor Corcoran in purple, nt

As the piocesAien entered the flist netn
of lladyn's majestic Te Deum burst from
the choir. The line of clerics and religious
passed up the cetitre aisle and into the
sanctuary, dividing at the feet and flowing
te each Mile of the high altar. The assist
ing prelates were given elevated chairs.
Vicar General Walsh went te the altar
while the metropolitan, his uiure laid aside,
knelt nud the ether clerics also loll upon
their knees. As the voices of the choir
died away Father Walsh iuteued the
prayer for the protection of the church and
the clerical choir responded. The metro
politan arose, resumed his mltru ani
asreuded the high throne, canopied in
yellow damask ou the gospel side of tin
sanctuary. Learned and wnitc-haired Dr.
Corcoran knelt en the stepi of tlie tnroue
aud kUrcd the episcepal ring iu tekm
that the hand which he venerated should
rule ever bun. Next came Father Laue,
of St. Theresa's, aud kissed the rim; ami
received the cpsicepal benediction. After
him, ene by one, all the pnestd did homage
te their great pastor. The archbishop
deceuded then te the feet of the altar and,
in a reseuaut, far-reaching voice, chanted a
veisicle from lhe Pontificate, lhe choir el
priests responding. He intoned the pr.ajer
of the patrons of the church of St. Petcr
aud St. Paul and invoked their protection
and aid. When the prayer bad euded he
blessed the thru ( if kneeling ecelesi wtica
and laity, and .he ceremonies of the
installation proper were tiuished.
The installation ceremonies were fel
lewid by solemn peutillcial high mas, in
which Haydn's Mass Nt). 0 and Mczirt'u

for the church while she 'is ever exalting
the office, is ever humbling the man.'
As the man treads the heights of her
hierarchy, the church whispers te him
'Deware ! remember judgmcut will
be most severe en him who rules,'
and would conie te him who, divinely
installed a light en the world,
would allow his llame te beceme
extinct. Think net that your elevation is
your own net. ' Yeu have net chosen me
but I have ohesoii you, that you may go

may remain.' In proportion te your

be the result ; 'unlets the graiu et wheat

that they may coufeuud the things that

who thinks nt all, are net for i elf-glory,

The archbishop continued, quoting pro
fusely nud weaviug the quotations .to

He oeucluded his address iu the following
passionnte language " Every man in

The clergy were then reformed, and
marched out of the northern deer
