TEN State Conventions this week will keep the pencil's busy figuring up the situation, and calculating the 'chances. Republican Conventions were held yester day in Mississippi. Tennessee and Nis• consim-to-day in New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and New Hampshire. Yester day the Democrats of New Hampshire . and Nevada elected delegates, and today the Democrats of Ohio follow. THE. Press is a bright newspaper, and makes sonic astounding discoveries and revelations, but it outdoes Itself when it announces that- "the significance Of the result of the Democratic State Convkition is that Pennsylvania is opposed.to the ruIP of one man. Everybody elie looks at it in another light, as being the Certain evidence of the power of one man—who resides in• Gramercy Park, and rules by the virtue there is in t 4 open barl.

His Fourth Ward crowd was invincible ; the only drawback was that the Harrisburg police didn't ap preciate their humor, and some of them • got into the lock-up, with a fair prospect of the Penitentiary. FISICWAIMEN life is not a happy one—at least when he attempts to execute • the laws: Rect,ntly the Fiidit Wardens started out to see who was baking the law above Columbia dam, and iwere quite surprised at an. attack in force by a party of men, who, summtrily* capsized their ' boat and proceeded to cut it in pieces, leaving the astonished Fish Wardens to get back to Wrightsville the best way they could after a ducking in five feet of water. • THE ltbodist General Conference Which Me at Cincinnati on Saturday is 'so largely attended that the hotels and boarding-houses are more than tilled. It is to be' hoped that it will continue in session until the meeting of the Demo cratiif Convention„as it is possible that the presence ofso many of our Methodist brethren might have a restraining and purifying influence upon the unterritied.

NOMINATING a favorite candidate (on paper) is the easiest thing in the world. All you bare to do is to put in the col umn of votes.claimecl for him, a sufficient numbel', and the most satisfactory result can be obtained. Just now this is 'a favor ite pastime in political "bureaus," and with partizan editors. It keeps up their . courage, don't you know, and then it may majbintluence those weak-minded individ 'mitt who like to be on the. strong side. If the 'figures -which are now 'daily given don't lie, there will be at least three suc cessful candidates at Chicago, with a dozen possible "dark; horses." • • LET Ilminnics 13. WRIGHT take fresh courage, and a new• start as regards his projef,t for improving the navigation -of the Susquehanna river. ' , The Upper Del aWate, however, ha'' got. the start, as the steamboat, Kittatininny, the first that ever reached Port Jervis, arrived home at the Water Gap, oil Wednesday night, vialsoht accident having run the fifty roiles!in less than five hours. The steam. boat is sixty feet long, fourteen feet wide and can carry seventy persons. The neV." igation of the Upper Delaware has thus Leen proved feasible at last. Great ex citement prevailed throughout the region traversed, hundreds flocking to see the boat. flow it manifs to date: There have - been thus far chosen 478 out, of the 75t; delegates composi n the Ciiicago National Reptib!ican - Convention, Of these. there are, either by disco. - instructions, or by personal preferences, 277 reported for General GRANT, .112 for Senator Hi.attcz, 55 for Secretary SnenuaN, 2r, for Senator Et...tit:Nu:i t and it for Mr. Waattinottrx.

There have also been a m en ZS out of the 738 delegates com posing the Cincinnati National Democrat.. k Convention, of which 1 , : are reported for Mr. TILDEN, 64 for General Hssooce, 14 for Senator BAYARI:‘ and the prefer ences of 8 are unknown. The majority necessary to nominate a President, if the "two-thirds rule" is adhered to, is 492. In making this computation, the Penn sylvania delegation is taken at 2e for TIL DEN, 22 for HAICOCK and 14 for BATARD, and the entire 6 Oregon delegates, with 2 from Connecticut, are classed as unknown. A BILL has gone through both houses Of the New York Legislature, and is dow before the Governor for his signature, imposing a tat upon all foreign _capital employed in that Slate. The threatened hostile legislation is creating quite an ex citement among Canadian and California banks, and will have the effect of driving away about thirty millions of capitaL If the bill should become a law it is said that the foreign banks will withdraw their funds and then contest the bill. In a similar case about six years ago, when foreign banks were taxed under the laws of X 855, the Court of Appeals decided in faddr of the banks. Tue Times is forced,to admit that "the exhibition of political rodwylim given at the late Democratic State Convention was the most disgraceful ever witnessed by any representative body of the State, and it was almost entirely from PhilaclelphiaJ' The Convention was ruled by the hired rowdies, while outside, assaults, pocket r picking and larcenies were fearfully pret valent, eight of the thieves and roordips having been indicted by the grand jury o( Dauphin county. It was a demonstration of what the people of Philadelphia thight expect shoull the Democracy ever again get control of the municipal government. • THE "harmony" outbreak at Harris burg was fatal to our friend HERRICK. The rounders, and heelers, the Maltivt, LIES and JOsErtis of Philadelphia, suc ceeded in nominating their favourite, DE CHER; as the candidate for Auditor Gen era). The honor of being up for_ defeat was' an empty one—and the Derpocracy would have brought more credit to their ticket by having HFittileg upon it, than they would have brought to him. NEB. may congratulate himself that i.e will be spared the worry of the canvass, the tap ping ofNis bar% and the humiliation of eertainAtfeat. He's too decent' a man. anyhow, to be mired up with the crowd, which lately broke the peace at Harris burg. THE OEMOCSATIC LOVE FEAST The . Democratic gathering at Har risburg, last week, ended in recon ciliation and harmony.. After more than the usual amount of ruffianism with a liberal display of revolvers and the free use of 'black jacks, the factions were welded into a single, if not homogeneous mass, amidst the wildest enthusiasm. It must have been an edifying 'spectacle to have witnessed the embracing of the round era and repeaters as they clasped hands and kissed in fraternal con cord, notwithstanding the conten tidns of the previous hours, and the blackened eyes and broken heads which fitly added variety . and em phasis to . the scene. •It matters but little which of the leaders has gained a victory in this faction of the 'Convention. Whether I Mr. WaELacE should be crowned with the victor's laurels or Mr. RAN DALL be hailed as the' conqueror, or whether it is to redound to the ad vantage of TILDEN or HANCOCK, or some "dark horse," is not 6f the slightest consequence. Neither is it worth while to consider whether or not there is any sincerity in the pro- fessions of the leaders of- the differ ent factions. Probably there is still the Same feeling of enmity and jealousy rankling in the bosoms of the men who joined _in declaring peace at Harrisburg, and agreed to bury for.s time their prejudices and, 1 - forget their personal grievances. Be -that as it may, the action is signifi carft, and full of warning to Repub licans. It slaws that the Democracy are determined not to permit person al preferences or private grievances to stand in the wiiy of united and vigor ous action. It was apparant to both of the controlling spirits in the Con vention, that as on as was their personal hold on their followers, there was a still stronger feeling pre dominating, which was the success of the Democratic party in the coming Presidential election. Our Republi can friends may as well awake to the consciousness and proper realization of the fact that there is to be a bit ter, unscrupulous and desperate effort made by the - united Democracy to elect their nominee for the Presi dency, whoever be may be. It is sheet folly or madness to count upon disaffection or division in the Demo cratic ranks. Should TILDEN be nominated, he will receive the united and cordial support of the Democ racy, and none of 'theta will be more active inpromoting his success, than 'the malcontents who are now growl ing and threatening in the prospect of his nomination. The not unreason . - able hope of victory, made possible by a solid South,,mill have the effect to consolidate the Democratic vote, and will inspire the rank and file, eager for the spoils, with a-degree.of confidence which will add immensely to the vigor 'with which the canvass will be conducted. Republicans should heed the warn ing conveyed in this action of the Pennsylvania Democratic Conven tion. They should see and properly appreciate the tremendous struggle which is coming, and , the danger there is in allowing the partizanship of favorite candidates to be carried to extremes. i With the alarming fact , staring us in the face that the united Democracy are ready to make a vig orous fight to get possession of the government, that they are willing to sink all personal preferences, and to forego all private animosities for the sake of success, it. becomes Republi cans to stop their petty bickerings about availibiiity of candidates, or abstract theories, or whether one term or - three is proper, and profiting by the example of our adversaries unite ink league whose common ob ject shall be to save the nation from the control of the Democracy. The , small matters about which we are flittering arid wrangling, and threat ening, are too frivolous for serious conaiderat,iori efeusithwleg the To raentotte Wrivivielle4o 10144 lIMIM certainly result from division and lukewarmness in our . ranks in thi coming; conflict. Common-sense, should teach us that the time has' come for putting aside, personal pref erences, for the, ending of pointless discussion, and 'forawakening to the full realization of the situation, and the knowledge that the dangers which threaten demand Vie active, cordial, and energetic exertions of every Et= publican. There will be - no bolters from the Democratic party; there will be no disaffection or halting; whoever may be named at Cincinnati will be ac cepted not only with unaminity but with enthusiasm. The determination of the Democracy is td elect their candidate. and if Jons KELLY or any one else should attempt to stand in the way they would be overwhelmed and extinguished in the absorbing alicl,general desire for success. Re publicans can with profit heed the lesson, and imitate the example. Toe Board of Pardons met on Friday and recommended that the Imprisonment ; of Messrs. KemuLe, SALTER and others under sentence for corrupt solicitation be remitted, leay. ing in force the fine and disqualifica tion for holding office. The recom mendation was at once approved by the 'Goiernor and the five men set at liberty. The action of the Board was unanimously made, Attorney- General PALMER not being present, but acquieseeing. No protest was made on the part of the Common wealth. The reasons given. l inay be briefly stated : The sentence of one year in the penitentiary goes beyond the law, because the act of the Legis lature which defines the crime of corrupt solicitation does not provide for rigorous penitentiary imprison ment at -labor for that crime, but simply imprisonment. It was claim ed by the convicted parties that the unnecessacily" sev'cre sentence fm posed by Judge PmasoN was , not justified by law. This view was ac cepted by the Board of Pardons, and in a measure acquiesced by the Com monwealth, as 'no appearance was made by the counsel who - Were active in the prosecution, and no attempt made to procure an adverse decision. This unanimous action Of the the Board will meet with gene ral ap probation. That the severity of the sentence pronounced upon the Offend ers may have had some effect in reconciling the' public to a pardon, is possible, but there hag been a universal recognition of the faet that the condition of the men who had re ceived the sentence of the Court was anomalous, and not in the category of criminals who are usually brought to the bar of justice to receive the penalties of the violated law. The majesty of the law has been asserted, the purposes for which the statute was created has been fully, carried out, and the present was no occasion for the gratification of personal vin dictiveness or for the infliction of ex traordinary and unnecessary punish ment. Public sentiment had already declared the perfect vindication of the law, and the efficiency of the ex ample made to prevent in the future the repetition of the offense, and and there was no desire nor expecta tion that a punishment should be en forced, which was , not sanctioned by law. THE Fourth-Year Conference of the Methodist Church commenced at Cincin nati, onSaturday, and is expected to con tinue about a month. It will represent one of the largest daieminations of the country; for reckoning by households and families, some twelve million of people more or less, are supposed to be withi the pale of the ' ?lurch. The actual en u rolled membership of the. Method' church, in ita various branches, is not f from three and a-half millions of peep (3,400,000), and those indirectlynnder i#s _wing are probably four times as many. The Methodist Episcopal,. which is the original body, and much the largest, is superintended by nine bishops and 4.50 presiding elders or sub-bishops. The,Con ference elects the bishops as required ; it also arranges for 'the (affairs of its two great publishing housei, the agents and editors of its journals, and provides fur missionary work. Among the other sub jects to be discussed is the restriction of the three years' pastorate; which limits at present the contimeince of any clergy man for mote than that term over auy one church. As there are 11,500 regular ministers,, this is a moving matter indeed. It prevents the strong-rooted attachments that grow up between a confidential and trusted clerical adviser of many years' standing ; it alsto prevents any overshad owing growth of ocal fame. The greatest good of the greatest number is the theory of these triennial removals, of which the spcial and domestic inconvenience is stare ly very great. The families of the minis try, at least, can appreciate the nomad life and the sentiment that man is but a sojourner here below, gets divided up amongst many sojourns and is accented by the packing up of personal belongings every third year. The. Methodist Church has been the church of the White House for ten_ years, and some of its leading bishops have been warm friends of 'both the present and the last administration. PATTERSOIC, N. J., had a first elassfrow an Sunday morning, growing out of the cdstom of the Germans to greet the rising sun on the first . Sunday in May. The German Societies went up to' the tbp of a mountain and in so doing trespassed on the property of WILLIAM DAZZELL, a farmer owning property on the mountain top. He ordered them off, bat not being obeyed, be discharged a gun loaded heavily with buckshot into the crowd, killing a young man named VAN Mums. The party then pursued DALZELL to his house, where the:police were powerless to protect him. They fired the barn and house, and when • be came forth seized him and were about to hang him to a tree.. The rope was in position, when a reinforceinent of policemen arrived, and DALZELL and his son, who was also im plicated, were 'rescued from the crowd and took on in the house of one Cannata., on the mountain near at hand. Subsequently. Sheriff VAN VOORHEES succeeded in taking him to Newark.. Tee Democratic State Convention which met at Harrisburg, on Wednesday of last week, was called to order by ;the Chairman of the State Committee, MlL um, and Hon. A. Dmi. made temporary chairman. t After the appointment of committees, on resolutions and organiza tion, R. E. MONAOLLIN was nominated and elected as permanent President: Af ter considerable wrangling a truce was agreed upon , and' .a compromise effected between the contending lactions, by which the contesting delegations from Philadel phia were each allowed one-half of the representation, and the delegates at large were equally divided between the friends of WALLACE and RAEDALL. They are : Wnmalt L. Seem, of Eiie, W. B. Sum- ORB, of Franklin (Timm) ; Lime C. Cassinv, of Philadelphia, B. Mnvow Seaga, of Huntingdon (anti-Tmozsr). The Conve great contest in the nti was On the resolution instructing the delegates - gates to vote as a unit and in favor of abrogat ing the two•third rule. The proposition was supported by Wazzsca and opposed by R&RDALL, but was decided against the unit resolution by a vote of 123 yeas to strike out to 122 nays—a victory for the RANDALL side. GEORGE A. Janes, of Jefferson county, was nominated for Su preme Judge, and 061. ROBERT P. Du.- REST, of Philadelphia, for Auditor Gen eral, receiving 133 votes to 83 votes cast for Haerizet—Philadelpfils turning the scales with her 46 vote& Mr. Dit.t. was elected Chaiiman of the State Committee. The delegates from this Congressional district are ROBERT A. PAcnan, of Brad ford, and L. Guam; of Wayne. They may be safely counted on she Tamen side. The elector is. GEORGE A. POST, of Susquehanna. There is all kinds of counting with reference to the predelic- Mons of the delegation. One side says the majority is for TIMER, the other claims it equally as confidently against him. We won't pretend to decide. It ' depends somewhat upon the barl. LANCAST COMAa gnat county: It has the tiel and raiset the most tobacco in. the State. Usually it gives the largest Republican majority. It has the most reckless editors and the bitterest political squabbles. Notwithstanding the efforts and influence of our good-natured and peaceable friend HrESTAND, who would not .willingly tread on anybody's corns, ,but would always pour oil on the troubled waters, the newspapers are con tinually wrangling—" sweet bells jangled and out of tune." The Era seems to have a chronic disposition to antagonize and misrepresent, and has been assailing the Court and the District Attorney in such a false and unjustifiable manner that a grudging retraction became necessary. The Infelligencer editors have been dia." barred for uncalled-for reflections upon the integrity of the Judges. We are sorry to notice, too, that the newspapers are filled.with accounts of- rowdyism which do not speak well for the character of the population. Unprovoked and brutal as saults and faction lights are common. There is evidently something in the Lan-. caster whisky or, beer which excites the' belligerent prope,naities of the average Laticasterian. ,The matter should be looked into. The Rog ring and the Bull ring should drkrp their quarrels and join in an investigation of the cause for so much peace-breaking, and unite for its suppression. - Tug Wilkes-Barre Record of tIUS Times is authority for the statement that Ron. nR-r A.

LlNDEttlaws, a hrother-in. law, will take the nomination in the Le high district if tendered to him. We would suppose that . WOBERT E. PACKER had already achieved sufficient renovin and honor, by his gallant and successful fight in overcoming the opposition to his selection as a delegate to Cincinnati. He would be badly beaten in •this Congres sional district,,and he is too shrewd to put himself in the wad of such a result. But as he would make a lively canvass and submit to defeat gracefully and good naturedly, we would not regret seeing him the Democratic candidate— if he wants to be. tITE WHITTAKER. case at West Point is one of those things :of which we would glkdly give our readers some reliable and intelligent account.

Whether or not the colored cadet wrote the note of warning, and followed it by assaultin4 himself and slitting his own ear, appear to be' questions which have not been definitely settled. The ev idence, however, discloses a condition of affairs at that institution not at all cred itable, and which overthrow the general belief heretofore entertained as to the high-toned and strict discipline' maintain ed there. The colored cadet has been os tracised socially, and treated with indig nity, and there is an evident disposition on the part of the Board of Inquiry, . and the officers and cadets to disgrace him if possible. Their chivalry and sense of honor don't extend beyond the color line. Tux following paragraph from the editorial columns of. the Pr.'s' contains the covert endorsement of an assertion which the editor must know to be News and its endorsement by the Press is inju dicious, unjustifiable, and out of place in a paper professing to be Republican. The objectionable patagraph is as follow i': "Editor Hensel, albs Lancaster Intellfgeneer, made the bold assertion in the Democratic Con tention, that If General Grant be nominated at Chicago the Democratic party will' carry Pennayl. crania: Mr. Ilensel t6ay be wrong, but there Is no doubt that the nomination of General Grant would give the Democracy in Pennsylvania a confidence to which it has been a stranger for years." TnEng was a conference ire New York City last week, it is' said; of about one hundred leading Republican business and professional men ,for the purpose of Con sidering what course they should pursue if GRANT was nominated at Chicago. Among others present were Mr. JosErn H. CHOATE, Me. GEUROE WILLIAM CUR TIS, Mr. JOSEPH HARPER, Mr. BENJAMIN H. 13RISTOW, and others equally well 'known. Surprise was created by Mr. CURTIS indicating that ho was not pre pared to say that if GRANT was nominated he would be Willing to bolt, himself or encourage others to do so. , TUE DemocratS in Congress are said to favor an early , adjournment, and there is talk of getting through by the first of June. The leaders are anxious to get away, for while they have succeeded-ad mirably so far in restraining the Cofifed orates, and keeping "revolutionary de signs" in- the background, yet there is imminent danger at any time of an out break, which would have an exasperating effect upon the now quiet North, and damage the prospects of Democratic suc cess in November. Tug total debt of the United States, it-- chiding bonds, greenbacks, gold and silver certificates and all other forma of indebtedness.was on Saturday last just $2,167,779,147.59.

PHILADELPHIA LETTER. PIIILADLLPHIA, may 3, 1330 The announcement on Saturday that Colonel Scott had tendered his resigna tion as President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, took the community by stir prim, though it was probably known to his flriends that it was to be done, and was not'entirely unexpected to those_ who were acquainted with him. His health for a year past has been such that be has not been able to give the road that atten tion which it demanded, and it wad with a view to recuperating that he ' went abroad. over a year since. He returned home very Much improved, but the work which he has been compelled to 'undergo has been destroying the plod effect of the tour. Following out the advice of his physicians Colonel Scott, on the Ist . of June, will withdraw from railroad duties entirely, not only relinquishing his con nection with the . Pennsylvania Railroad Company proper, but also from its later al connections and the independent corpo rations in which be acted as executive ofrt-! cei. These latter include the Texas Flo - -i• eine and Northern Central Railroad Com panies, of which he has been the Presi dent for a number of years. The stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad prior to the announcement of the dividend was selling at's4 to j. The effect of the declaration was discounted, and when t h e announce: meut was made the sold at 53) to 514 ex dividend, which indicated that the shares were holding their own.

In the case of McGurk, convicted of murder in the finst degree, for the killing of the porter in Whites dental establish ment, in 1865, Judge Elcock granted the prisoner a new trial. The case was a no vel one, from the fact that the murder was cummited fifteen years ago, and tit , confession made within a recent date, at a place hundreds of miles from +he city where the killipg took place. The, evi dence which convicted was a confession made by the prisoner. The seventy-two hour gom-you-please pedestrian contest, started at.

The Grand Jury censured the Clerk of the Court bf Quarter Sessions, and the Recorder "for the loose manner in which the license business seems to have been „conducted," and exonerated the District Attorney from au , blame in the matter. The practice thus censured r is the forgery of the names of bondsmen upon the bonds of the tavern-keepers, which seems to have been the ease in almost every in stance.
