The Convention was called to order by , Hon. Passers JORDAN, Sec'y of the Commonwealth. All the members were present-except Jons' GlnsoN, of York. Hon. WILLIAM M. MnaEnrrn was elected President. A resolution was adopt ed to adjourn the Convention to Philadelphia, after January Ist, 1873. i." Floating political drift-wood" is what the World now calls its late Liberal allies. It says the ,"obsti nate, silent scorn of Democrats" cost thriee as many votes as were gained from 'the Republicans; declares the GusELEY canvass a "prodigious blun d•;" extends a cordial hand to those who refused the crow; and gives the Liberals a hint as plain as anything less than shoe leather could make it, to "clear out." va. C. R. Bucsi.Lov having been defeated for the Governorship of this State, by tip overwhelming majority, has induced Col. Farr7v; of Columbia county, to resign his seat in the Con stitutinnal Convention, in order bake a place for -the ex-Senator. " Anyway to keep in office," appears to be lir. B.'s motto. We presume he will still adhere to his undemo cratic notions of cumulating voting and restricted suffrage. is_ An enterpriseing New York firm offers a premium on notes of broken national banks. This looks a little singular; but these notes are as good as any on banks in a flonrish ing condition. Under national banking law each national bank is compelled to deposit .government bonds with the Treasurer of/ the United States sufficient to redeem their currency in the event of a fail lire. Any note, therefore, on these broken banks is good, and worth even a premium; for, theoretically at least, under the law, only a certain amount is allowed to a certain section, and, upon the failure of a bank in any particular section,other parties desir ing to go into the banking business in that section must gather together its otes, have. them redeemed by the United States Treasury, and apply for a charter to 'establish another bank in the same locality. The pre mipm is offered from the fact that others want the banking privilege. Itw The fisheries of the Pacific coast are becoming quite important, the salmon trade is an item, which already has reached a magnitude sufficient to be counted in the sta tistics of production and commerce. During the first nine months of the present, year, there were shipped froin San Francisco by steamers and sailing vessels, 27,800 packages, valued at $195,000, a decided increase over the preceding year. 4 - The ship ments to Eastern markets by rail amounted to 2,249,000 pounds against 545,000 for the same period last year. There is a regular demand for the fish in Australia and Europe, and recent orders have come from the West Indies and the western coast of South America. With the completion of the Northern Pacific railroad, the fisheries of the coast northward will be developed, not only the salmon, but the sea fisher ies also, cod being numerous Alaska ward. There is no reason why the fisheries in these waters shall not in the future be as profitable as those prosecuted on the Atlantic coast. ef§... The names of some of the ablest, men in the. Democratic party will be missed from the roll of the next House. They have gone)down under that " tidal wave." At the Oc tober election, the Democrats lost all their prominent Pennsylvania mem bers except RANDALL. In Ohio, Gen. MORGAN was defeated, and in Indi ana, Messrs. Voommrs and Krum. At the last contest. they have lost heavily everywhere. In New York, " Sunset " Cox is defeated, and Gen. Stocrm, one of their best men, did not make the race. His successor in his Brooklyn district is - Gen. S. L. WOODFORO. FERNANDO Woop, 'TAXES Baooss and CLARKSON N. Porrra are the only conspicuous Democrats elect. ed from New York. In Maryland, .ex-Governor Swaxs,in Kentucky Mr. BECK, and in Illinois S. S. nimmar.r, were successful. Aside from these we recognize few names of establish ed reputation.

The various State Electors, chosen at the late Presidential election, will meet on the first Wednesday in De cember, at such as designated by law. They are required Co make, and sign and seal up three separate certificates of their votes, and to certify on the cover or envelopes. containing each of said certifi cates that a list of - the votes for President and Vice President is con tained therein. Each of these-pack ages is also to contain a certified list of the electors for the State One of the packages so sealed and certified is to be sent by the hands of one of the electors to the President of the Senate of the United States; one of them is to be forthwith deposited in the postoffice, also directed- to the Presiident of the Senate; and the third is to be delivered to the United States- Judge for the district in which the electors have assembled titcast their votes. The first men tioned of these package's is required to be delivered to the President of the Senate before the first Wed nesday of the - succeeding January. Die laFv further provides that Con , grass shall be in sesS.on on the second Wednesday in Fbrnary sue chedink every meeting of the Presi dential electors, when the said pack ages containing the vote shall be opened, the votes counted, and the persons who shall fill the offices of President and Vice President shall be ascertained and declared, agreea bly to the Constitution. . set- In referring to the President's action on t ie Civil Service reform, t e New York Times says: '° Naturally enough, the politicians are in great ath over the proposed action of the resident in the appointment of the hiludelphia postmaster, and we are not surprised to hear that they have set up a wail at Washington concerning the ruin which is to come upon the Republican party if the of fices are not to go to those whom the local managers select as " influen tial." We have been so long in the habit of bestowing office as the re ward of partisan service, or as a sup posed means to strengthen party in fluence that it is plain the President is to meet with strenuons opposition in carrying into practice those prin ciples of civil service reform to which lie is pledged. But the politicians, we think, will find that, being-pledg ed to them, he will put them in prac tice whenever occasion is offered,and in'the end, his course will strength en the party rather than weaken it. For every politician who becomes indifferent or hostile from lack of re ward,scores of voters who .do not seek place, will come to the support of the party which 'earnestly and faith fully attempts to elevate and purify the .civil service of the country. tar Among. the most gratifying results of the late- election we Count the election of - ex-Governor HAWLEY, of Connetieut, to Coftgress.

The Iti - sho i t of Ermelaiid was deprived or the pecuniary support of the State' for being instrumental in aisiting the greater excommunication on two prentin,nt anct learn ed men for rebelling against the infallibility dogma. Greater excommunication is of two kinds. In its greater severity, it forbids all Catholics to have any intercourse with the person on whom it kis been visit , ..d. They must neither speak to him, write to him, hive any LUCCOid relations with Lim or rec.:gar..a him in any way. The Pr:is:dart tonsituotint, cintaius an article fu. the prote.:thoi ~f the personal rights of citizens; and BL,IIAUCK tends that excommunication-doe interfere with rights that aro guaranteed by the 'State, a .d hence withdraws all State support from the Bishop of Ermeland. The Bishop, on the other 1ir...1, claims that the excommunicated person suffers no diminu tion of nis civil privileges;.th t id the eyes of the law be is noway affected. and that it is purely a church matter. This statement has at least a plausible look; but it is far from sat isfactory to. the Prussian liinister,i who can dis cern,-he thinks, that a feri•mi injury is inflict ed on any man whom a large:percint age of the population are forbidden to d"sl with of recog nize sociall?i- He 'contends that the moral, comforts of the daily life, and' the tnaporal prosperity of the person, are damaged materi ally. The Prussian Legislature will be calk& upon to consider the matter and act upon it. It is thonghttliat a law will be passed, giving the sufferer of such an attack on his character the same opportunity for redress against the church, that he would have ,agaiust an individ, nal libeler, or any one who was responsible for 'damages inflicted. The preseut trouble is a peculiar phase of the long series of diflizultios which have existed between Church and ;State, and; which were inaugurated- by' the referma tion. LETTER FROM BOSTON Mu. - EDITOR : •When I last wrote you and named the 25th of October as a day always to be remembered in Boston, little ,did .Ithink another never-to-be-forgi4e.n day was so soon to follow, in its wake, but ere this reaches yon you will know from the press, the telegraph or otherwise, that our most costly and most en terprising section of, this city is in ashes. About 7i o'clock on Saturday eve ning last the Fire King commenced its reign of terror in the upper story of a granite building on the corner of Sumner and Kingston streets,and as our horses was disabled more or less by sickness it was some 20 min utes before a stream was got on to the building, and even then, owing to the great heighth, the flames wits not reached and the roof was alni4St instantly in flames. In about 6 0-.8 minutes more steamers came- on the ground drawn by men, and immedi ately went to work • o th ers followed rapidly but the fl ames were too quick for them. Firemen ascended the buildings on the opposite side of the street, and copious streams of water were- poured across onto the burning roof, but in spite of their ef forts the flames ran along till some 6 or more entire structures were en , - veloped in flames, and the heat was so great the - men were' compelled to leave their lofty position and come down to ascend another block.. Ere they reached the street the flames had darted across, and the roof they had just left was in flames. At this time, to say the least, oar show to control the flames was a slim one, and as by repeated calls the entire fire department was on hand ; nothing could be done but to play on the sides of the burning buildings, and by presenting its spread, let it work its way to the wharves. At 9 o'clock some 12 or 15 warehouses were in flames ; a terrible tornado . of heated air was twirling 'large pieces of burning roof ipg all directions, and it was e4,j dent to all that some power other than water would have to be brought to bear before the devouring element would bs stopped. Telegrams were sent in all Airections- soliciting aid, and was quickly answered by the ar rival of trains at our depots with en gines and men ; - but as there were soon more than three times as many buildings inflames as there were en gines to battle them, it was evident some extraordinary skill must be brought to bear somewhere, or Bos ton would soon be no mare. Attention was now directed to keeping it confined to a given, dis trict and it met with indifferent'snc oess, still they held on and fought hard. Fire! fire! firel was again the cry in front and rear, and eterp. one seemed enraged with excitement; large sparks are falling in tile streets setting on fire the clothing of the crowd of eager gasersoind causing stampedes in all directions ;, while a cloud of sparks sail off over the her bor, and some falling in South Bos ton set fire to - roofs of houses there, which, were diStant about one mile, air line, froth the, scene of confiigra tion, but fortunately doing little or no damage, as most every, occupant of a house is on the lookout: Mid- nignt arrived, -and after:Fro:Tested requisition the Mayor gave permis sion to use gunpowder, and at 1 a. m. the train was lightd, laying in ruins a stately pile, only to have the flames leap over and beg in anew.be yond. Explosions followed each oth er in rapid succession, but nothing seemed to avail. A gentliman ap proached our Chief Engine& with the enquiry, " What is the show nosi? " and was answered, "Bad, bad ; God sane burning Boston." The streets were busy with people hurrying with goods from all por tions of the fire, and many with the goods of others which were wantonly destroyed or given to another, when they found themselves in the hands of the police. Thousands of dollars worth of 'goods were redeemed in this manner, but it will be impossi ble to find who owned them. Suriday me - riling the 'sun rises over a still burning city and a still un conquered fire raging as fierce as ev er, and in its wake lies a vast track of smouldering ruins. Coantlegs number of citizens are' watching the fiend as it marches steadily onward] towards State street, all know that, if that street. is passed the distraction of the entire northern portion of the city is sure to follow. The southern' part. of the burnt district being con-. quered, the steamers are centered on, Washington and State streets, while] the waters of the harbor' border it en the east. At about 10 a. m. the fiend grapples the rear of the Post Office end Sub-Treasury building on State street, and a fear:fill fight ensues ; at one moment the fire seems to be mas ter and the next moment it looses ; ' thus it continues till 2 p. m., when we are rejoiced to see that the flames are under control and State street is not to be reached_ Meanwhile, the battle on Washington - street has ter minated with the same result, , and the thousands of gazers on inwardly thank God that the worse is . pasied. The most costly' - and valuable ware houses are idealroyed ; thorisands-are thrown out of employment ; scenes of desolation abound on all sides,bnt none are despondent > for our city is not made of such stuff. At midnight we are awakened again by another alarm, and .find another conflagration has commenc ed, occasioned by.. an explosion of gas in a. stOio near where the fire commenced before. This is son got under control, but not, till another million is'added to the property lost. The flames have at this hour not subsided 'entirely, although a heavy rain has commenced, (9 p. m., Nov. 12), and we are trusting it will quell .the fires which aro now only in the interior oVthe trains. Let us review the affair and see how stands Boston to-day; as things actually exist. The number of firms and business houses burned out ag gregates nine hundred and • thirty, viz : Sumner Street, 115 rWashing ton, 40 ; Federal, 45 ; Devonshire, 43 • Otis, 16 ; (Franklin, , • High, '121; Arch, 6; Busy . place, 4.; Con gress, 96 ; Milk, 73 ; Kingston, 10 ; Charming; 7 • Pearl, 183 • Broad, 9; Winthrop Square, 6 ; Water, 22 ; Bath, 3 ; Liberty Sq., 11; Lindall,s; Hawley, 18; Warton place, 7 ' - Kilby, 'l3; Congress Sq., 1; Purchase, 6 : Sugth, 1; Channcv, 3; Mathews; 23. C.apt. Henry W. Wilson, Engineer of Gen. Burrell's staff, has prepared a plan and made an estimate of the burnt district. The area covers 2, 580;000 sqnare feet, equal to a little more than 59 acres. The total loss will prObably not exceed 70 millions or a little more than a million per acre. SAW AND STEEL WORKS BIIREED. Loss one Hundred awl Fifty Thousand daUaro —A Thousand Workmen 77trown out of Em• pioyment. . PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.—The Vex tensive Saw and steel works of Hen ry Disston, on Laurel street, Ken sington, took fire this morning, from the &plosion of an oil can: The fire began in the etching room and - spread to the carpenter shop asd thence to the factory.
