They are requested to elect delegates on next Saturday and the Convention will be held on Monday. The Democratic County Committee de layed action for the purpose of seeing whether some combination could be made in which the Democrats could heartily unite, with the purpose of breaking up the corrupt ring which foisted such exceedingly bad candidates upon the Republican party. The Tem perance men nominated a few good temocrats, but their ticket was not such as the Democracy of Lancamter county could support. The Labor Re formers did no better than the Temper ance men had done, and the Independ ent Convention failed just as signally In Its ellhrts to make a satisfactory com bination. The consequence is that the Democrats of this county are compelled to full buck upon their dignity, and to nominate a ticket composed exclusively of Democrats. tillell will undoubtedly lie the course of the Convention that meets next Monday. Let good and strong. men be sent to represent the party. We must put forward a ticket which will challenge the respect and admiration of every intelligent voter in Lancaster county. The Radical Candidate for Mayor The Radicals of this city, after much caucusing and canvassing, concluded to put forward (t6orge K. Reed as their candidate for Mayor. Mr. Reed has some designs of his own in view which make him anxious to be elevated to that position, and our Radical friends took him up because they believed he would bleed freely. While Col. Pyfer was' breasting the enemies of the Republic in the shock of battle, and contracting disease in the filthy purlieus of Libby prison, (leorge K. Reed was shaving every customer who came to his bank, and making large stuns of money by lucky speculations.' The result is that Air. Lteed has accumulated a large for tune, while Col. Pyfer remains a poor man with a shattered physical consti tution. No stronger contrast could be pre sented than that which is offered by (hese two men, when we conic to con sider their fitness fur the position of Mayor. By diligent study and careful business habits Colonel l'yfer has mad - himself an excellent lawyer. If elected Mayor hand there is no doubt that lie will be) he will attend to the civil du ties of the office in person, and for so do ing his excellent legal education admi rably fits him. If (leo. K. Reed should be chosen Mayor he would never at tempt to perform the ordinary duties of the office Except by pro.rg. lie will draw his salary and scheme to carry out his cherished designs, while sonic subordinate attends to the important business appertaining to the station.— Mr. Reed has not the requisite quali fications for the discharge of the civil duties of the (ace, and he would be es pecially unlit to manage the police. In the latter respect, Col. Tyler would prove to be eminently qualified. 11 is military training has:givendlim the very habits of 111111(1 and the very qualities of action which should be possessed by the eider police officer of a city—and that is Just what the Mayor is. Mr. Reed is a clever, pleasaut gentle man, but die would be utterly out of place In the Mayor's °Mee. The Re publicans know that; and we shall be much mistaken If a goodly number urthem do not vote against him. lie has held the position of President of the Common 'Council, and we shall take occasion to discuss his public acts here , after. thy them let hint be Judged. The Ite•unlon of the Old deventpseventh. We give up considerable space to no necount of :the re-union of the gallant old Soventy•seveuth, which took place at Harrisburg, Thursday. I t will prove interesting to every citizen of Lancas ter, for there Is not a nian in the city who was not Interested in the glorious deeds of that regiment. Its record for gallantry was equal to that of any other 'ln the service, and when news came of Its brave deeds, Lancaster had reason to be proud that Its commander was one of her own 14011 c. Ths address delivered by Col. l'yfer, who gallantly led the old Hoventy-seventh in many a desperate contest, will be read with especial pleas ure by every soldier in Lancaster. Their hearts will lie warmed by the stirring allusions to the tierce struggles lu which the regiment was engaged, the eyes will flash at the recital of Its bravo deeds, and they will drop a tear of sympathy with the orator over the graves of departed comrades. Col. Tyler was elected President of the association, and the next re-union of,tho old Seventy-seventh will be held In Lancaster. We can promise the sur viving members a good time when they come to Lancaster, for our people take care of the soldiers ,when living and cherish their memories when dead. THE latest advices indicate that Col. McCook will be able to actively partici pate in the canvass in Ohio during the two closing weeks of the campaign. His recovery will be hailed with unfeigned pleasure by men of all parties in Ohio, and those of his unscrupulous opponents who anticipated making capital out of Iris unexpected illness, will Lind that all their calculations go for nothing. It only requires a united and energetic effort of the Ohio Democracy to carry that State by a handsome majority. How quiet Radical newspapers are about Evans! Not a word has one of hem to say, and not the slightest effort is being made to trace up and arrestthe thief. His capture would Induce a con fession very damaging to Republicans high In authority, and he will not be disturbed In his retirement. WHEN the Hodge defalcation occur tell there was but one member of the Cabinet in Washington, and be bad ust reached there. Is it strange that defalcations are of almost daily occur rence under an administration which conducts the business of the Govern ment in such a way? Arthur P. Devlin. We give up considerable space to a report of the sayings and doings of a fellow skiing himself Rev. :or Prof. Arthur P. Devlin. This we do because the reprobate created considerable ex citement by a row which he raised in Ogdensburgh, New York, some time since. That he is a wretched impostor, a miserable cogging and cozening knave no one who heard his lecture at Fulton Hall can doubt. He could not secure a hearing anywhere in the country but for the announcement that he intends to make some revelations in regard to the Catholic Church. That Is sufficient to gather together a set of narrow-mind ed bigots almost anywhere In the coun try. There are people who can not re sist the cravings of a morbid religious curiosity, which is as far removed from the true spirit of" cliristinnity as light Is from darkness, or luiliness from sin. The spirit which gave life to Know-Nothlnglsm, and made liars of those who skulked in dark alleys to take extra judicial oaths, still lives in all its proscriptiveness. It man ifested itself in the assemblage which gathered at Fulton Hall on Sunday evening; and it crops out frequently in the actions of the Republican party.— The Democratic party recognizes no such distinctions between citizens. It protects every class in the exercise of their religious views; and guarantees freedom of speech and action to all, 'within the proper limits set by impar tial laws. Le men and women who were at racted to Fulton Hall on Sunday eve- tang by the promptings of religious bigotry, learned a leson which they will not, be likely to forget very soon. The next trine some vagabond comes along pretending to reveal secrets con nected with the Catholic Church he will lied it hard to get an audience in Lancaster, even at the low prioedif ten cents for admission. Devlin's speech may be regarded as the formal opening of the municipal campaign on the part of the Radicals. The oratory was such as members of the party were accustomed to applaud in the days or now-Nothingisin. It remains to be seen whether it is suited to the present time and to this latitude. Many of the Republicans who were at Fulton Ilall on Sunday evening pretend to think that Devlin is at least half crazy. We do not share in that be lief. 'We believe him to be a design ing knave, with sufficient running to dupe Radical fools out of their money wherever he may go. Such is his mis- Mon, and he seems to be prospering American vs. Foreign Credit Is there not something peculiarly sig nificant in the facts attendant upon American and foreign loan negotiations. NI. Thies, when calling for a foreign loan, had his entire issue taken up In twenty-four hours, while more than triple the amount demanded was offer ed for his acceptance. Spain, too, has had subscribed seven , times over the amount of the loan asked.

Wood, who is IlftW the Chief of the Naval Medical Bureau, is about being relieved, because of his having arrived at the age at which lie goes upon the retired list. We notice that several newspapers are comment- mg upon the relief of Dr. Wood as a punishment of him by the Navy De partment, for the active part he took in behalf of the stall' in the recent contest between the line and stair. This accw sation is very erroneous and very fool ish, because the Fallior surgeon on the active list, Dr. Foltz, who will become Chief of the Bureau on the displacement of Dr. \Vocal, was quite as active us the latter in his championship of the posi tion taken by the staff In that contra. versy. Dr. wood's retirement is but a simple act of justice to the other able surgeons in the Navy, all of whom are entitled to expect their elevation to the honorable position of chief of that corps, before they arrive at the age at which they are placed by the law upon the retired list. lir. Wood shows him self exceedingly selfish in striving to cling to his position under the circum stances ; and we apprehend that lie will benefit himself lu no way by inciting certain newspapers to champion his cause,by deceiving them as to the cause of his realm/fel. THE (mods or Tammany, as alleged to exist, excite the Radical mind to an unusual extent, and throw it Into vio lent contortions of virtuous rage; but the trilling peeeadilloes of Evans, I lodge, Halley and Murphy, urn passed by with scarce a word if comment.— Hodge enters the plea of nolle contrn acre, and an an honest confession Is said to be good for the soul, we presume his faults are duly atoned for. Culprits, upon the gallows, and with the noose adjusted to their necks, have but to ;nuke confession and Invoke forgiveness according to Radical orthodoxy, to go straight to heaven ; unit upon the same principle, Ilodge, and Evans, ion, for the matter of that, if he can be brought to an acknowledgment of his short comings, will not only he forgiven, but canonized, an Bowen has been in South Carolina by the bigamile dark les and their Radical co-adjutors. Jy N IltcttunrrandJohn W. Forney addressed a political meeting al Towan da on Saturday, Simon, the Chief of the Winnehagoes, was advertised to be present, but did not put In an appear ance. What a happy trio It would have been—Hickman, who, as u member of Congress, voted for the Istr2 resolution of censure, anti Forney, who has cause to remember his defeat for the U. S. Sen atorship to Simon's money-hags. llott:c beheading Tyler wouldn't have been a circumstance. ON Saturday, the Democrats of Cum land and Franklin District nominated Henry K. Yeller for State Senator. Yes terday, the Democrats of York and Ad ams nominated Win. MeSherry for Senator. Mr. Defier is said to be a man of fine abilities and who will make an excellent Senator. Mr. MeSherry we know will, and we know him to be able, honest and reliable in every respect. He served a term in the Senate a few years since and no man in that body was more highly respected. SENATORS WiLsoN and Chandler, of the Republican National Committee, are flooding Pennsylvania with cam paign documents. Hadn't Wilson bet ter turn his attention to strabismical Ben Butler and Massachusetts, and old Zach. Chandler devote his soothing en ergies to the Woolverines. Their la bors would certainly be more effective in that direction, for the people of the Old Keystone State can " paddle their own canoe." EVERY soldier in Pennsylvania ought to vote for General William McCand less and Captain James H. Cooper. Every soldier in Lancaster city ought to vote for Colonel Prederick S. Pyfer. THE LANCASTER WEEK.= INTELLIGENCER, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1871. A Radical Row in New York City—Tam. many Outdone. While the rural press of the Republi can party is bellowing in concert about the troubles of the Tammany Ring, and endeavoring at the same time to conceal from view the stealing and the corrup tion of Radical officials in the National and State Governments, Horace Greeley has boldly laid bare a sore place in New York city,which must make the Admin istration of General Grant quiver with agony, whenever the festering ulcer is touched. It is well known that Tom. Murphy, Collector of the Port of New York, is the most intimate friend of the President. It was through Murphy that he acquired the title to the hand some cottage at Long Branch; it was with Tom. Murphy that he has idled away all but three days of the past Sum mer. Thomas is the confidential advis er of Ulysses, and, to , use a vulgar, but very appropriate, expression, " they are as thick together as two thieves." What manner of man is this Murphy? What is his past record ? Has Ills life been pure and honorable? Is he such a man as a President of the United States should make his familiar friend, and reward with the most lucrative of fice in the gift of the Government'? Let the New York Tribune answer. We find in its editorial columns an article in which the editor makes the following specific replies to certain inquiries in reference to Mr. Murphy: I. It is true that Mr. Murphy has not always, or often, been true to Republieun principles. Ile betrayed us in the Legisla ture; he betrayed us in the Republican I organizations in this city; he betrayed us nL the polls. 1)11 the .oth or April, Nit), he voted in the State Senate against the reso lution n.k nag our Senators to vote for the passage of the Civil Rights bill over the veto of Andrew Johnson. Ile voted against the resolution in favor of the bill An. impartial suffrage in the District of Columbia. 11 e !wiped break op the Re publican 'fax C'onimission. on a bargain that he foul P. S. District-Attorney Crow ley shoolol have hair the patronage. lie voted for John 'l'. Hoffman fur f fov union Ile gave large sums thalioney to. promote the success not the I homocratic ticket. Ile tried to break in the Republican organiza tions in this city; did break up one by main force, pitching Sinclair Tousey and others down stairs, and then passing a resolution defying the action of the State Convention, a full report of which we are ready ' if anybody desires it, to reproduce from Tile New York Tones, which then was able to tell the truth about Mr. Mur phy and all his works. lie acted with the Tomlin:my Ring in helping Mr. Tweed to pass the new Charter, whereof the results are now apparent in the convulsions at the City Hall, and the gigantic robberies that preceded them. 11. It is true that for all this Mr. Murphy was not without his reward. Ile got the patronage of the re-organized Tax Com mission). lie was made a Commissioner bt the infamous Broadway Widening Job, which only the violent 'death of , Auditor NYouson prevented front becoming more no toriously a gigantic robbery than the plas tering, plumbing and carpet lielaallita, lie was made a member or the School Board, like unto Nathaniel Sands. Ile held these offices Lill after our last State Convention), and was only driven out of them by the public sense of the indecency of such a spechtele as the Republican Collector of the Port of New York continuing to hold them. 111. lie received yet more substantial reward, lie was admitted to the notorious and infamous real estate speculations of Messrs. Wil inlet 11. Tweed, Peter 11. Sweeny, and Mohan' 11. Connolly, 'fon this day anol hour he is joint owner with them of city property valued at a million dollars, and in at fea-t one transaction, amounting to over a quarter or a million', hu engaged with them KM late as October 15, 1511 J, us the 11,1'1,rtia in the City Hall uue I "Inquirer" has touched but lightly, in his questions the real gravity of Mr. Murphy's war record. It 1 " true that he made large sums of money out of the Gov ernment at the time of its greatest peril." That very faintly hints the extent of the i.ase. It is not denied that the transactions by which he realized these large sums were of such a nature that the War Department inhered an investigation. It is not de nied that very damaging results were attained. It is not denied that private political influence WIN brought to bear at headquarters to suppress the investigation, and that it was SO suppressed. It is not denied that, when the papers were subse quently called for, It was found that the War. Department had suffered from a bur• glary as alarming as that which lately con. yoked the City !fall and wrung with vain regret the tender heart of Connolly. It is not denied that the twelve affidavits abstracted were hurtrol to Mr. Murphy's vase. It will not be denied that Mr. Robert Murray has openly boasted that, at the proper thllo, he disposed of witnesses as effectually as these mourn fu Ily mysterious burglars did of the affidavits about Murphy the vouchers against Connolly—by spiriting them away at Mr. Murphy's in stigation, 11.11 d 011 his promise to pay their expenses. To give to such it man the most lucra tive and important office in the United States, Icneral Brant displaced one of the most honorable and upright mer chants in New York city, Moses 11 Grinnell, whose devotionto the Repub lican party had never been questioned. Does any uric wish to know why such a change was made . ."lffie answer is easily round iii the fact that [rant makes it a rule to give othee to tilos:. who give him the 1110 st liberal presents. I lore :under the showing of the New York Tribunc, right in the city of New York, side by side with the transactions of the Tam many Ring, is laitljare a transaction which disgraces - the President of the United States and shows up his admin istration in its true light. Tom. Mur phy•aspires to the control of the State Convention of New York which will meet in a few days. Ifis object is to se cure a sufficient number of delegates to renominate General Grant in advance. The strike fur which he plays Is one of rare value, and the struggle will no doubt be a desperate one. General (Inuit relies upon the Federal (ace ['Milers, and they know they will be al lowed the timid liberal license so long as they continue faithful to the man who regards the office of ['resident as merely a convenient means for enriehlng him self and an army of relations, A )11:N1111.:11 of the !Irel circle of Afri can swirly' in the city of Titusvllle,pald two dollars Mul a half for a ticket to the champagne breakfast which was given to President rant, The Radical mana gers took the colored brother's money, and then refused 111111 admission to the table. The result Is a row among the dark les of that place. They regard this us a v lolation of the Civil Rights Bill and an exhibition of " the Infernal spirit of code." 'The Radicals ought to live up to the laws they make and the doctrines they teavh. Aecording to their creed a negro has an equal right to a seat at a hotel-table with idly white omit In the land, and hotel-keepers have been tined for refusing them. " A NVNIIIER utl/I . ollllllollt ltepubll cans" in Massachusetts have written to Congressman Dawes to say that Massa chusetts must lie saved from Butler at all hazards, and us Dawes Is the only man In the State equal to the emergen cy, lie must give up his seal In Congress and accept the Radical 11010 illatioll for Governor. Mr. Dawes' reply has not transpired. Is not this a delightful state of the case when the Radical party is beseeching to lie saved from its own can onized leaders? WHEN a Radical candidate goes to a Democrat with love-beaming eyes to honeyfuggle for a vote, let It be remem bered how these loyal fellows denoun ced every Democrat as a "vile copper head" during the war. Remind them of the past and spurn every overture they make! No Democrat who has a particle of self-respect eau do anything to prevent the election of a worthy can didate of his own party. He who is ready to do so must be lost to the best principles which can actuate a man. Pay back the Radicals in their own coin! Use every honorable means to defeat them at every election. MAJOR HODUE, the defaulting Pay master, had two sureties, each of whom gave a bond for $20,000, and this is all the Government is likely to save from that half-million steal. It is almost as bad as Evans, whose bond amounts to but ten thousand dollars. But then they are loyal, you know, and loyalty should protect what loyalty steals. HoN. A. R. FriTDLEY has been nomi nated by the Democracy of the district composed of Chester and Delaware as a candidate for President Judge. He is just such material as a Judge should be made of and he ought to beJelected. Reverend Arthur P. Devlin—Outrageous Conduct of the Police. The knave who styles himself the Reverend Professor Arthur P. Devlin, having managed to collect aeveral hun dred dimes from credulous and bigoted Radicals In Lancaster city on Sunday night, found himself possessed of the means requisite to enable - him to in dulge his propensity for strong drink. He was seen in various rum mills dur ing Monday imbibing such fiery pota- tions as his brazen throat has been ac customed to. By 5 o'clock In the after noon ho was as frill as a Delaware tick on a dog's ear, and he reeled into the INTELLIOENCER office and bought a paper. Descending the steps with some difficulty he wended his tortuous way to the Express building, where he bought a copy of that very virtuous sheet. Finding that it had failed to no tice him he rolled it up with a chunk of limestone in It and dashed it as far down South Queen street, as he could send it. He then turned his attention to the two first-class notices with which the IN TELLIOENCER had honored him, but our courtesy seemed to be as distasteful to him as was the neglect of our neigh bor. It was evident that he did not admire our method of treating sensa tional topics. He read a few paragraphs and then rolled the paper into a ball, crushed Its clean pages between his dirty lingers, dashed it down and at tempted to stamp upon it. Unfortu nately for him he had too much tangle foot aboard, and he was unable to bring his broad foot down on the mark. Every time he tried it, he reeled to one side and missed the object at which he directed his No. 12 brogan. About 7 o'clock he dragged the table of one of our ancient applewomen the Post-office pavement, and, after several ineffectual ellbrts managed to crawl upon it and to rise himself to a perpendicular posit ion. Standing there, on unsteady pins, he poured forth a ti rade of maudlin blasphemy and black guardism, which made him out object of contempt and ridicule to all who heard him. lie attempted to be severe upon the editor of the I NTEI,IItiENCER, but was so fur gone in his cups as to be un able to do more than make mouths and indulge in the most vulgar epithets. A friend came to us as we sat Hinok- Ing our cigar, in front of Michael's Ho tel, and informed us that we were being made the subject of an abusive speech. Prompted by curiosity we went to the place and found the champion of the Republican party in full blast. His fury was so great, his grimaces were so very tortuous, his gestures were so wild, his legs were so unsteady, his tongue was so loose, his wits were so evidently all abroad through the influ ence of ruin, and his language was so incoherent that we were convulsed with laughter. We laughed—laughed heart ily—laughed loudly—laughed as a broad shouldered, deep-chested, good-humor ed man, with unimpaired digestion and a good conscience can laugh—and the crowd which stood near us, most of whom were Republicans, joined us in our laughter. Let the reader judge of our surprise and Indignation, when, Just as we were laughing at hearing ourself abused, two policemen with their cowardly car- cases encased' in uniforms and stars o office upon their breasts, stepped ut and announced that they would tares somebody if there was any more laugh ing. We asked who they would arrest. They informed us that they would arrest us. "For what?" asked we. "For disturbing this "meeting," said they. We informed them that we knew our rights as a citizen and dared them to lay a finger ou us, and they shrank away like two cowardly curs who could bark, but feared to bite. We are informed that the names of these valiant and vigilant custodians of the public peace are Buck ius and Hoffman. They are both utter ly unlit to discharge aright the duties of the offices to which they have been ap pointed, and on former occasions have rover themselves to be cowards and in- competents This incident created much excite went, and it might have led to serious results. if we had not by our own etlbrts restrained our friends from expressing their indignation in terms which would have been unmistakably emphatic. We would like to know whether this meet ing iu Centre t!iquare was held under the auspices of the Radical City (tovern-' went, and would like to learn whether the police were given orders to arrest any one who might laugh at the vaga ries of tile miserable knave and char latan who exhausted his lungs in abuse of Catholics and Democrats. And next, we would like to know wheth er it Is the desire:of the Mayor to excite a bloody riot in the streets of Lancaster. Provocation enough has been already given for violence, but, to the credit of the Catholics and Demo crats of this city, be it said, that they have borne the most violent and out rageous abuse with a moderation which is highly commendable. If this fellow Devlin is an emissary of the Republican party let him be sent to some other place. He cannot do any more good for that party in Lancaster. Traveling Government Clerks. The President has only spent three days at the seat of Government since last Spring, and the members of his Cabinet and the heads of departments have been almost continually absent. But It Is not only the chiefs of the pres ent administration who have holiday times. The subordinates who happen to be favorites, are allowed to gr. Junketing about the country at the expense of the taxpayers and numbers of them are per mitted to make the tour of Europe. 'the New York n'ilothc Is good authority and it Hays: 7. IP,tle wille ago the Invalid clergy man, sent to Europe for the cure of the bronchitis, was a standing Joke In the nevo4papera ; now It Is the tiovernment clerk, who is sent occur to Europe "on Iloverninent business:" at public expense. The Treasury, Post-Mike, tiovernment Architect's (Mice, anti nearly every other public department into each in turn fur nished recruits to the lucky army of Amer• lean tourists in Europe. Twenty•live or thirty of these gentlemen are (alloying themselves abroad without cost, or about to sail on their first foreign tour. Once it was thought a line thing to be a popular city pastor with a sore throat which noth ing but European air could cure, but the modest clergymen are altogether outnum bered by the traveling Government clerks. Not So Fast The Philadelphia Prors predicts large gains for die Radicals In Schuylkill, Luzern°, Carbon, York and Cumber land, counting largely upon dissensions in the Democratic ranks. All differ ences have been happily adjusted, and the Radicals will count without their host as to Radical inroads upon our strength, as the 10th of next mouth will show. nutNEN - , Hickman, and Radical ora tors of like ilk, are highly eulogistic of the Democratic party as it was when they belonged to it; but mirabile diclu, when the light of their countenances was withdrawn from it, it cemed to em body the saying efficacy of national !need ! To all such the Democratic par ty can afford to say—" Stand not upon the order of your going, but go at once," and be much the better for it. IN Ohio the political atmosphere seems to be growing peculiarly un wholesome for the Republicans, since Groesbeck's masterly and telling Steu benville speech. In Hamilton county they are likely to lose a part of their Representative ticket, which will seri ously endanger Bingham's re-election to the United States Senate. SENATOR HARLAN, of lowa, seems confident of success in securing a re election, although Wilson and his friends are making a vigorous fight. The Lycoming County Fair, held last week, was a grand success. The Normal College at Clarion is in successful operation. Bucks county recently sent nine men to the State Penitentiary. The able speech of Hon. Wm. A. Wallace is making a deep impression upon the people. Maggie Smith, a young girl, 15 years of age, has mysteriously disappeared from her home in Philadelphia. The Treasurer's defalcation in the Philadelphia Mint is said to eclipse the Evans atildr in enormous rascality. A few nights since, Mr. George Coop er, of West Marlborough township, Chester county, had ten or twelve valu able sheep killed by useless dogs. John W.

RaitorA: I doubt very much whether a majority of the voters of Penn sylvania are aware that they are called up on to vote ut the ensuing election, for or against (and I trust not many against) a convention to amend the Constitution of the State. This is, or should not be, no po litical measure—if It should happen to kill the trade of corrupt political leaders—and should receive the support of all good citi zens, Democrats and Republicans. The Hon. Charles ituckalew has devoted years to the consummation to this one grand ob ject. And now that It is put in a tangible shape let the people vote, one and all, for a convention. Let minority representation be incorporated in the fundamental law of the State, so that whenever two or more persons are elected to represent a county, let one of them be of the party in the mi nority. The consummation of this would do more to break up "political or Court- House rings" as they are generally called, than all the " reform tickets " that can be put in the field. Is the press of the Statedo- Mg its Linty? I think not. Very few of the newspapers ever mention It. This much needed reform is sunk by the press gener ally—there are a few exceptions—to fight up the claims of some " pot. house" politi cian, that by intrigue or fraud has managed to secure the nomination of his party.— Every paper favorable to the Convention, should place it in the editorial column in ea; ital letters, so that he who runs might read. There is no doubt, a large majority of the people of the State will vote for a Convention if they understand it, but the men who make a living by politics will de feat it if they are not watched. This class of men are to be found in both parties.— We have a few of them in this county, and you have your Gatchels and Brubakera in Lancaster county. Notwithstanding things are considerably mixed up In this county, McCandless and Cooper, will have about two thousand majority. We have had several heavy frosts; vegetation •is killed. SCHUYLKILL. Letter from Atlantic City Special corresitmdenco to tho Intelligences.] ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Sept. 14. Gentlemen: The season at this favorite watering-place may be considered closed, although the literal "closing" will not take place until Monday next. The visi tors now here, are for the most part those who ran down for a day or two, for a final dip in old ocean, or a last, long, lingering pull at the porgies of the deep ; and the cash deposits which they leave with the land lord, will not materially alter the figures of the balance-sheet. The ride to Atlantic City is very much like that to Cape May, only more so, and that you know is entirely unnecessary. There is less shrubbery and more sand than you are accustomed to see at the Cape, and while the latter covers leas ground— less sand I mean—than Atlantic City, the general appearance is far more pleasing. A largo number of cottages, including many beautiful ones, have been erected since last season, which add much to the general improvement of the place. The board-walk, which for two seasons has been tramped upon, like many a better thing, by the high heels of the careless visitors, is a very desirable thing in its way, and de serves mention. It extends from Massa chusetts avenue, whore Congress Hall is located, to the Excursion House, probably a mile. The ocean washed away portion of it during the high tides and storms, but generally floated them back to be replaced. Nobby in the ocean, wasn't it. 03 The beach at this place is about as slop • ing as that at the Cape, and under favora ble circumstances, the bathing would be as enjoyable at one place, as it certainly is at the other. But these favorable circum stances do not exist here. The beach is continually changing, and the trouble is that you can never tell a season ahead where to locate it. Owners of town lots sometimes wake tip and find their choice properties troubled with dampness—so nnu•h dampness in fact, drat it is frequently front eight to thirty feet ttlulve ground.— This dampness troubles the surveyors, as they are unwilling to go down in diving bells simply to run the line of a man's property, when, frequently, after getting a certain number of " perches to a stone," they Lind the stone gone, and a terrapin set up in its stead. Throe years ago the White I louse had to be moved to humor the sea; to-day, the sett k far out beyond its origi nal camping-ground, and the White House stands six 8 , 111,11 TN inland, Tilo 00C1111 is now receding at the upper end of the city, and making at the lower. The strong un der-currout which is always at work, ren. ere the bathing very unsafe at times: and the pond or pool of water which has form ed In front of Congress Hall, White House, and the United States—which pool is from three to four feet deep in the eentra—makes it horribly unpleasant all the while. The bathers are obliged to wade through this pool on their way to the beach, or eiS(3" go for" a bridge which the proprietors grass Hall have erected over this little "ir regularity" of old ocean. The principal hotels, lod !MN NI•rISWI have been the United States, Congress I tall, And Surf House. The Excursion House _and built by the Rail Road Company, and Is a largo, good house, intended Mr eximr !don parties—of which there are a great many this season—and Is at the lower end of the Island. The Island !louse, built this season by a proinlnent Philadelphian, —John Price Wetherill, Esq.—is without doubt tile most handsome and best hotel on the island. It is said to have cost, fur nished, $75,000. It is situated about half a mile below the Excursion House, in the midst of the finest fishing-ground. There are a number of small hotels, very good ones, too; such as the White House, Clarendon and Alhambra. The scuson has been a success Mr all of Chem, and their owners have good ClllBO to congratulate themselves. At the Alhambra there was an attempt made by a discharged servant to ruin the house by poisoning its guests. It is sup posed that arsenic hail been sprinkled over the top of a barrel of sugar, and with the latter used in compounding a custard ; and it is certain that all who partook or the custard, to the number of 30 or 40, were affected more or less seriously, but now fatally. The roiled Stales has been tilled to over flowing. It is kept by Elisha \V. Davis and tteneral Selfridge. Elisha hails from Spring Garden street, Philadelphia, and was the Speaker of the Penna House, in 1505. He now aspires to the Senatorship from the Id district, and as the people of that district like to be represented by just such material as Elisha is made of, he will, in all likelihood, "putt in an appearance" at the neat session. General Selfridge is a handsome, gentle manly,person from Bethlehem, anti is the present clerk of the Lower House of that pure body, known from Egypt to Alaska as the Pennsylvania Legislature.. Their house is the bead-quarters of the Radical politicians, .who always have plenty of money if there is any afloat. Bill Kem ble, Sheriff Kerns, Simon Cameron, At torney-General Ilrewster rind other "pot lambs" of the morality party, were there in all their glory. It is not known wheth er Simon said "wiggle-waggle" or not, but it Is shrewdly suspected that he order ed " thumbs up." The Evans' imbroglio was discussed in all its aspects, and "must" you know, was the result. It is a question in my mind, whether this whole distur bance Is not due to Sinon Cameron, as the result of a little" unpleasantness" between Geary—fashlonably pronounced Gluey— and himself. Radical newspapers aro not so patriotic its to care about saving the State ?t:100,000, when Radical politicians de sire to keep it In circulation. Mr. Brew ster had the ague, you remember, just about the time the Evans matter was growing lively, and it may Ito that he post ed °II to the " United States" to get some of the strongest Radicals to hold him while he shook, lest lie might shako the " cat out of the bag." The family of Mr. Evans had been spending some four or live works at the "Clarendon," In this place, but left about a week later the ex immure took place. Of Mr. Evans, I can give you a great Many interesting partic ulars. I have known hint intitnately for nearly twenty years—and what I now say, I assort upon no hearsay, but from personal knowledge. I lost might or him about the year IRilul, but for lirteen years preceding that date I Wan In constant Intercourse with him, a n d for eight years out 'if o so finnan, we were rellow•elerks lit the sauce house. Down to the year 1 , 01 . 2, :qr. Evans was a consistent Christian man, a deacon In the Sanwa[-street Baptist Church, or Philadelphia, hot he was Wu I,llSirwmm titan ; hie head never wan "level" I'M any busi ness projeet. In the year he became acquaintrd with " a itretteher, who was both a mane. fingerer of tho baking powder known as Azurnea, and a dispenser or the patent belly theology. Ile believed and taught tha t a itian's soul was located in his belly, and that annihilation was the reward of the wicked. From that day I noticed a change In George O. Evans. Ile was jest about weak elloligli In mind, I had almost maid in soul, to swing on to this belly theology, and after discarding all the religious con victions of a lifetime, trust his salvation to a heresy as dam n able as the Devil ever in vented. The baking powder was and is a good thing, and if he had choked himself to death with it, he might have had an honorable mid compel od with the dishon orable life which he must live, as the log ical result Ma system of religious belief as monstrous as it is infamous. These aro strong words, but we need strong words to speak our condemnation of a creed which wrecks a man for whom Christ died, and gives to the world an opportunity to charge that wreck to rho account of religion. (leo. C. Evans never planned that _fraud, I stake my manhood upon this assertion. Ile had not the brains to plan it. He had a most preposessing address, and was just the man to carry through the project alter craftier natures had conceived it. Mr. Evans was dishonest in that transaction, but I venture to say that when the truth is known, as it will be some day, it will be found that he received but little of the proceeds, and that Radical rascals swallowed the lion's share and grew fat—grew large-souled, I ought to say—upon it. Among all who knew Mr. Evans, he has not one friend to-day. He has wronged me in times past, grievous ly wronged me, but I trust that I may show my forgiveness by this effort to lift his guilt from the soul that it is now blistering, and throw it back upon the bastard crew by which it was begotten. I have consumed more space than the law allows, perhaps, already, but I will detain you for a moment longer to mention that the light-house at Atlantic City has been painted white and rod in thirds say white at top, red centre, and white at:bot tom, to distinguish it from the light-houses at Cape May and Barnegat. In my next I may tell you something about Freehold and her honored citizen, the next Governor o( New Jersey. Very truly yours, H. R. S.

Who the Reverend Arthur P. 'Devlin Is I How Geo. K. geed Con Fludont Whether lie Is Fit to Be /Mayor! Shortly after the New York riots xmaid arable excitement was caused by a disturb ance which was created at a meeting in Ogdensburg, New York, where the violent language of a fellow, who had dubbed himself Rev. Arthur P. Devlin, caused some indiscreet Irish Catholics to make an assault upon him. From the State of New York this disreputable ad venturer has drifted down through Penn sylvania until he finally reached Lancaster. He dropped into:our office on Saturday morning and very coolly requested us to insert Fratuitiously a somewhat lengthy notice of the fact - that he would deliver a lecture or lectures in this place. This favor he asked on the alleged ground that his discourses were to be religious in their character. A glance at his manuscript, in which his name appeared; showed us who he was,and we asked him business rates for the insertion of his matter. That did not suit him, and he contented himself with the insertion of a small advertisement. Going to the Express office he was received with open arms. His mission beings crusade against the Catholic Church, was sufficient to commend him at once to the regard of any bigoted Radical political editor. Ile got a lengthy puff from that paper, and had the pleasure of seeing it occupy a most prominent place in its local columns. on Saturday night he mounted a store box in Centre Square and yelled for a white, but his chief efforts were reserved for Sun day. At 3 o'clock P. M. on the Lord's Day, heperched himself on a store-box in front of the:post-office, and there, under the shad ow of trees which shelter the jay birds be longing to the United States officials, ho bellowed for a long time. We only heard a little of the discourse he delivered there, lint what we did hear, WHO bitterly abusive of Catholics and especially full of the vilest slanders against the whole body of the priesthood. Numbers of our Catholic fel low-citizens listened to such language as Protestants would nut have tolerated in reference to their churches or ministry, and they bore all without giving utterance to a rude word, or indulging in an indecorous action. In being thus tolerant they acted a wise partots after events proved. At the end of his discoureo in the Square, being unable to llnd an honest man amongthe Rad- Male and K now-Nothings present, Devlin passed round the hat, hi inself,and managed to collect a :few ragged shinplasters of the smallest denomination and occasional nickels. He had billed and advertised a meeting for Fulton Hall on Sunday evening, with the announcement that he would charge 10 admission,; to (blow type,ses. Wo paid our 10 rents and took a seat where we could have IL good look at the audience as sembled. Ily the time the hour, announced for the commencement. of the lecture, had arrived the Hall was moro than half full of people, but, as a few stragglers kept drop ping in, the professed Reverend maintained his seat at the door with a dilapidated cigar box on his knees, nor did he abandon that position until he despaired of seeing de posited therein another dilapidated speci men of fractional currency. We scanned the audience carefully from our seat and took a good, square look at them when they left the Hall. There were quite a number of prominent Republican politicians present with their wives, and more who had sensibly loft them at home. On many of the faces present we could see the bitterest religious bigotry indelibly im printed, and could read the expression of the meanest sentiments of K now-N olhing ism in the upturned countenances of those who listened with staring oyes and open mouths to the utterances of the wretched reprobate, who was laughing in his sleeve at the credulity of the crowd of malignant dupes before him. It was fully st o'clock when Devlin ascended the platform and proceeded to read a passage from a cheap pocket edition of the New Testament. It was evident from the manner of his reading that be was not familiar with the book before him, and his ignorance of the Scriptures was abun dantly demonstrated throughout his dis course. lie made several attempts to quote Scripture, and the audience will bear us out in the truth of what wo say when wo declare that ho blundered in nearly every instance. After stammering through part of a chapter in ono of the Gospels, he utter ed an cx ti•tajtore prayer, which was almost blasphemous in some of its expressions, and exceedingly irreverent in tone through out. It was evident that praying was a new' business to him, We can not follow the fellow throughout his rambling, disjointed, ungriumnatical, and egotistical tirade of mingled black guardism and mock piety. Suffice it to say, that he took a correct measure of the Re publican politician. 4 present and regaled them with the most unsparing abuse of the Catholic church. Ile was • especially bitter against the Irish Catholics. lie de nounced the entire Catholic priesthood as a body of sensual hypocrites, declared they were guilty of all manner of vices and unmitigated liars. lie fluctuated between the lowest blackguardism and a sort of mock piety which was sometimes ridicu lone and sometimes blasphemous. Ho showed himself to be a vulgar Ignoramus, but his ungrammatical utterances seemed to be well relished by the Know-Nothings who had gathered to hear him. For two mortal hours lie continued to bellow, 1111(1, whorl he had repeated all he had to say two or three times over, he drew a copy of the Harrisburg Patriot from his pocket and proceeded to read a pen-and-ink portrait of himself, which was In all respects such an admirable likeneas that It convulsed the audience with laugh ter. Tho only difference which was dis cernible between the daguerreotype fur nished by the labia; and the person pre sented to the audience, was caused by the fact that Devlin gathered money enough from the Republicans of Harrisburg to buy a new suit of clothes, and has washed his face more frequently of late. Reading the Patriot put him into n terri ble fury, and ire proceeded to denounce the Democratic party in the most 1111111011811 red terms. This delighted the Radical Know- Nothings who were present, and they stamped and cheered. The orator then for got that he hail rebuked some one for Ills. turbing "a re/iglu/1H mriaiiiy" by leaving the Hall, seed ranted and roared after the most approved style of the }bellied bulls of Bastian. The more he ranted and the more loudly lie denounced the Democratic party, the more completely the political bigots, who were present, forgot that it was the holy Sabbath day, and t h e more loudly they stamped and yelled. Finally, having got through with the Harrisburg Patriot, he produced from the pocket of his clerically cut coat a copy of the Boston Pilo(, and announced that he would read an article in reference to himself which it contained. Ile said ho did this because lie knew it would be published in the Lancaster INTF:LLIOENCEIt. WO will not disappoint the fellow ; and here is the article: A few weeks ago we asked for some ac count of the man who calls himself " Baron do Cumin." Wo have received so many accounts of his evil doing that we are puz zled to know what to do with them. One correspondent assures us that the "Baron's" name is Arthur Devlin, that he was born near Londonderry, in 1837, and spent the first 17 years of his life at home. Having ar rived at that age a sister living in Orange, N. J., sent for him, and he came to this country dressed in " corduroy " —which gave occasion fur a nickname that has since clung to him. In Orange he was appren ticed to Brady dr, Lighttipe, hat manufact urers, and served four years at that trade, " during which time," says our informant, „he was remarkable for nothing but his low animal cunning, his greed, want of common sense, and ill-temper." In 1862, when the draft laws were introduced, a mob assembled in Newark, four miles from Orange, and Devlin harangued the crowd and advised them to pull down the office of the Newark Daily Advertiser, for which he was arrested, tried, and acquitted. After this first " public appearance," the fellow became a public nuisance, and the butt of the small boys' derision, which he repaid with savage attacks. In 1864 he , enlisted, receiving $6OO bounty, but soon deserted, and was sent to Canada by the rebel government, where he waited until his sister sent him the bounty money which he had placed in bank in Orange Then he proceeded to England, where be worked at his trade, peddled quack medi- eine, advertised " the American Doctor," lectured against Fenianiam, and a host of other makeshifts. In a short time after ho went to Ireland, and announced in Belfast that he was General A. P. Devlin, of the American army, and connected with tho revolutionary movement In Ireland. After this he returned to Orange, and met with an uproarious reception from the street ur chins. He commenced business as a lec turer on "Phrenology," and adopted the title of Professor. "Casually," says our correspondent, "I received tidings of his whereabouts (having lost sight of him since last Christmas) from one of his confidentials only a short time before his appearance at Ogdensburgh. ;He had written to this confidential friend, E. Stopford, Esq., that he was a Baptist Minister in West Virginia. Fast on top of this rushed before my eyes an article from the Washington Chronicle, headed, "Lec ture of the Rev. A. P. Devlin." Could I believe my eyes! "Corduroy," "Pigtail," "General,' `Professor" Devlin turned minister I "Non compes mcntis," I invol untarily exclaimed. Arthur had been brought up like his sister, Mrs. McGee, (a very respectable lady, now living dis graced by him in West Orange,) a Roman Catholic, but on arriving at the kid-glove era, he occasionally chewed himself at other places-of worship but still was nom inally a Catholic; and only last October, on the giving of a mission by the Jesuit Fathers, he attended regularly; received the scapular from the Bev. Father Gluck meyer, S. J., and seemed to repent of Li 3 maniacal feats, but was carried away by witnessing the "easy living" Bridget O'Gorman was receiving from heretical ministers, and concluded that he would "do better." I have taken the pains to write this in order that all good citizens, Protestant as well as Catholic, may know who Baron de Camin is; and nowhere could this be read with such interest arid benefit as in the columns of the most reli able Irish Catholic paper D iu the world— the unflinching Pilot." lie prefaced hie reading of the above ar tide by the announcement that there was some truth and some falsehood in it. lie denied that he had ever gone under the name of "The Baron Do Camin," whom he denounced as a vile imposter--a miser able, lying reprobate, who bad never been in priest's orders; and he warned those present against listening to the lies of the Baron if he over came to Lancaster. This moil of truth \vas no doubt uttered for the purpose of inspiring some confi dence in his own representations. lie con lensed to the truth of all the inure impor taut statements contained in the Pilot ar title, admitting that he mane to this coon try front Ireland when under age, that In had:been nicknamed "Corduroy," that ht had served an rippronlivoship at No wark, that he did make a speech from the head a a whiskey barrel against the draft, such that he jumped the bounty and deserted Iran, the army. 110 claimed, however, that ho forced to malt e the speech against the draft by a mob, and asserted that he did not desert and run oil to Canada to spend Ida bounty nioneyouttil some other Irishman had "put a head on hint." By the time he had got lute fin- in his confession., wine!' were no annpanleil with great violenve of language Ito nioro sagacious Itopublicans who wer present began to see what a dirty serape they had gut themselves into. One by ono those tvliti were unaccompanied by ladles began to sneak call. Of the Hall, looking like curs who had been caught with the blood of a sheep on their chops and wool on their teeth. As they tried to MIAMI away denounced the del/tiding RAdiVIOS as Copperheads, and said he would wait for all such to go. At the risk of being taken for Copperheads, a largo number of dis gusted Republicans stampeded. The more timorous feared the fou I tongue of the dirty blackguard whom they had patronized, and remained to hear him out. . Seeing that the door had been left open he demanded that it should be shut, and, no janitor being present to attend to tho :nat ter, he exclaimed, "I will bet that the pro prietor of this Ilall Is a Democrat." 'that was regarded as a shrewd hit, and it elicit ed a peal of laughter. If the audience had known how Devlin learned the political complexion of Mr. Yecker they would have laughed on the other side of their months. When ho was negotiating for the rent of the Ilan 'Mr. Yecker inform ed Devlin that ho was a Catholic and a Dem ocrat; but that the hall was for the use of the public and that ho made no distinctions on account of religion or polities. Devlin replied by saying that it was all right fur Mr. Yecker to be a Catholic, advised him to stick to his religion, and assured him that his Protestantism was all a sham as sumed for the purpose of making money. Mr. Pecker will swear to that, and he is known to be a good citizen and 0 man of perfect truth and veracity. Devlin concluded his discourse with the most violent denunciations of the Demo cratic party, the most extreme protesta tions of his loyalty to the Ropubltean par ty, and the most urgent appeals to those present to vote for the re-election of Grant and for the Republican ticket, from the highest to the lowest office on It. Ile con tinued to rave in this strain until the last of the audience streamed out of the Hall, leaving hint foaming mid frothing lm front of the foot-lights. We c•uuld have pitied the nice and women whom wo saw depart ing with abashed countenances. and shamed faces, If wo had not known that they had been drawn to the hall by the meanest curiosity and the most malignant. bigotry. Previous to the assembling of the audi ence, Devlin hail distributed small circu lars of which the following is a copy: m AN. 10 NOW 7111iNELF I'ONHULT IItOF.
