questions had nothing to do with the
matter, nor was he in any way responsible
for the action of the club. We suppose

waiting to ascertain the nature of the
Judge's feelings upon the subject.

THE original 'GartimEri man in the
Convention was Mr. W. A. M. GRIER, of
liazieton, Luzerne county, one of the del
egates from the Eleventh district. Mr.
GRIER is,a.middle-aged gentleman and a
member of the banking firm of PARDEE,
MARKLE Sz Gnir.R. For many years he
has taketi a decided interest in politics,
and he is, known throughout the district
which he represented as an intelligent
and activb, Republican. Lightning hap
pened to strike near .311. GRIER this time;
but it is not everybody who can trot out
a "dark horse with such distinguished
success.
THERE have thus far been chosen 694
of the 738 delegates composing the Demo
cratic N. tonal Convention. Of these the'
followit4 are the reported preferences :
TILDEN, '206 ; BAYARD, 132 ; SEYMOUR,
101 - ; ; HANCOCK, 72 ; THLIRMAN, 60; FIELD,

CitAsE, of Maine, 14 ; Monmsoti, 8 ; Mid
ENGListi, of Connecticut,' 2. The " t*o
thirds'rule," if adopted, will require the
successful candidate to bate 492 votes.
The States yet' to select delegates are
.Kentucky, havii 24, and North Carolina
20, the Conventions in both States meet
ing on Thursday.
GENERAL GARFIELD is assailed by the
Democratic newspapers with the usual
slanders and insinuations. The record of
a blaineless political and personal life, is
his sufficient defense. He has been nine
tinfes clectsd to Congress by an intelli
gent constituency, elevated by j common
consent to the leadership of 'the House,
and unanimously chosen United States
Senator. De has the unbounded respect
hhi neighbors; of all pakies. If this is
not a sufficient iccommendation and win

And the people will giVe him a further
endorsement by placing him in the Presi

THE National Greenback Convention
assembled at Chicago on Wednesday, 9th
inst., Rev: DE LA MATYR in the chair.
About sixty-live delegates were present.
The ticket nominated was Hon: .JAMES
B. WEAVER,. of lowa, for President, and
Gen. E. .1. CHAMBERS, of Texas, for Vice
President. Our distinguished neighbor,
llENniovs 8., WittonT failed to secure
the Presidential nomination. As he would
fail 4 an elction by some millions of
votes . , he should be reconciled, particu
larly as ho can now devote all his time
and energies to the task of improving the
navigation of the Suskpiehanna, which is
vastly more important than exploring the
head waters of Salt River.
COUNTING THE EILECTORAL VO
The joint resolution passed by the
Senate in reference to the Electoral
count, was 'postponed in the House
on Monday, the Republicans, by fili
bustering; having prevented its pass
age at this Session. It is to be _re
gretted that it should still be . ran
open question, but the proposition
which the Democracy sought to pass,
known as Moni,A.N.'s resolution was
so extremely obnoxious and unfair,
that no course was left to the minor
ity but strernious resistance and the
employment of all the parliamentary(
methods of delay to prevent its
adoption. The experience of the
past shows that there should be some
Well-defined regulations by which the
Electoral votes of the States shall be
received and counted, which shall
place the -choice of the States beyond .
the reach of personal or partizan con
siderations ; because it is too much
now-a-days to expect that in cider to
secure the Presiidency, any party will
be above resorting to 'disputed re
turns, technical defects, or the many
devices by which the vote of a State
may be secured, or at leak neutral
ized.
The provisions of the Constitution
on this subject seem to contemplate
that the President of the Senate shall
do the counting, as it says that the
" President of the Senate shall, in
the presence of the Senate and House
of Representatives open all the cer
tifi'eates,i and the votes shall then be
counted'' The inference seems to be
that thj proper authorities of the
- `aces stall determine to whom the
3 shall be given, and the province
President of the Senate, is
open, count and record the
„..

This has been the
T until within the

. provide for any
' ereency, and to
The great
'y for
when the. Republicans, were in a
large majority - in both Houses, this
rule was dropped.
The Democratic project was to
make the majority party in Congress
".:the final judge of everything con
nected with the Electoral count, the
qualification of Electors, the regular
ity of elections, the correctness of
the. certificates, and, any objection,
direct or indirect, which might •be
brought to their notice, touching any
vote or votes l of any States. In
addition to this, •it was their purpose,
by explicit direction, to define the
duties and powers of the President
of the Senate, and to compel that
officer to; submit to the =arbitrary
action of the two Houses all papers
purporting to be lists of Electors
from the several- States." A more
objectionable plan could not possibly
have been conceived. It, is alike
fr-
fraught with • Constitutimial objec
tions and with danger to the liberties
of the country. It virtually places
in the hands of the majority in Con
gress the power to set aside the will
of ,the people, and declare who shall
be the President. Recent occurrences
bave shown to what desperate means
i, l he Democracy will resort for the
purposerof securing power. And if,
at the coming Presidential election
the people should elect Gen. GAR
FIELD, how easy it would be, follow
ing the Maine precedent, to get up,
under some pretext, double returns, -
affording an excuse for the Demo
cratic majority in Congress, to count
in their candidate. That that is the
intention of the Democratic leaders
there is no question. The danger
has not been averted—it is only post
poned, and unless the country speaks
in unmistakable tones inNovember,
the outrage will be consummated.
The peril to the country is not pass
ed when the people have chosen GAR
FIELD as their President, The Demo
cratic majority in Congress will seek, ,
under some pretence, to thwart the
popular expression. It is their fixed
and evident determination to get
possession of the government if
violence or fraud will accomplish it.
So palpable is this purpose, that it
should inspire every lover of his
country with increased zeal and ac
tivity in his efforts to carry the Re
publican banner to a victory which
shall check the designs of the con
spirators.
THE Democratic National Convention
meets Cincinnati on Tuesday next, and
its deliberations will be watched with
great interest. Conjectures as to the pos
sible candidates are easily made, but
there is much uncertainty. The long roll
of candidates includes SAM pEL.T. TILDEi4
of New York ; THOMAS A. ,BN.YARD, of
Delaware ; lIEIDHICi s, of Indiana ;
THURMAN, of Ohio ; DAVIM' DAVIS, of
Illinois, and Judge FIELD, tliie latter of
the two aro presitined to be the last iet
source in the event of the disagreement
as to the prominent names on . jthe ticket.
General HANcocK has -a feiv i followers,
but as his supporters only exiSt in Penn
sylvania and Louisiana, there is little
or no chance of his nomination, the more
especially from the fact of his being a
military man. The Democracy therefore
are infinitessinaally divided. TILDEN'S
influence has already secured the number
of those who desire office, and 80 far as
the present outlook is concerned his peCu
liar facilities would lead to his choice.
But the general sifting as to his past
practices, and his present methods, have
alienated many who cast their ballots for
him on a former nomination and the con
tinued and deadly opposition of the Tam
many Sachem, JOHN • KELLEY, of New
York, may prevent his nomination. The
question of availability may control, in
which case HORATIO SEYMOUR of New
York would be the candidate, notwith
standink his repeated declarations that
ho would not accept a nomination. .
TEE Press, and other journals of pug-'
nacious and vindictive dispositions, have
kept up their ahuse . of Senator CAMERON
and other of General GRANT'S friends
since the Chicago Convention, notwith
standing the happy settlement o f all our
differences by that body. The North
American, to illustrate the force of habit
and rebukh the bad manners and poor
policy pursued by these newspapers, tells
the following story : "A farmer had two
pugnacious roosters who spent the great
er part of their waking hours battling for
the supremacy of the roost. Day after
day those roosters !ought each other, re
tiring bloody and ruffled as the sun went
down. The farmer had other things to
think of, hu' at last, tired of seeing a
fight in which both parties seemed to get
the worst of it, and apparently never end
ing, he concluded to end it himself. So
seizing one after the other he ;brought
their beads to the block, and with his
avenging axe decapitated the pugnacious
fowls. Returning a few minutes later,
he was astonished to find the headless
bodies floundering around and pegging
away at each other. The ruling passion
proved too strong for the heroic treatment
of the axe." The Tress was decapitated;
metaphorically spe4ing, at Chicago, but
like the farmer's rooster keeps pegging,
away in a revengeful though harmless
fashion. Its attacks upon Senator CAM
ERON, and its attempts to create faction
and discord, only serve to show the ma
lignancy which possesses its conductors,
and the extent of their envy aid disap.
pointment. Meanwhile the Senator and
those who acted with him in raerence to
the nomination will bend their best ener
gies fOr the - success of the Republican
nominees.
Is response to the Senate resolution of
March 8 (offered by Mr. Krairwoon), the
Secretary of the Treasury has furniihed
to that body an elaborate statement;
showing the expenses of the government
" on account of the war of the rebellion
from July 1, 1861, to• June 80, 1879,
,inclu
.The grand totals are as follows
Gross expenditures; $6,796,792,509 ;; ordi
nary expenditures, $609,549,124; expend
itures growing ont of war, $6,187,243,385.-
The principal items of the war expenses
are the following : Interest on the public
debt. $1.763.2.56:198; pay of two and three
' ^ 1 02.702 ; subsis
jug
numbers the following : Refunded to
States for war expenses, $41,000,000 ;
purchase of arms for volunteers and regu
lars; $76,000,000 ; ordnance supplies, I
$56,000,000 ; expenses of assessing and I
Collecting internal revenue, $113,000,000 ;
expenses of .National loans and currency,
$ x 51,523,000; premium! ? $59,738,000. The -
Ilk:. expenditures for the Navy (including
about $74,500,000 for pay and $6,500,000
for Naiy pensiotui) aggrkate about $412,
000. Among the other detailed items of
expenditures groiring out of the war are
$5,243,034 for National cemeteries, $3,- .
546,185 for support of National Rome for
Disabled Volinteers; and $88,000.00 for
the purchase of FORD'S Theatre, the
scene .of President . Lirwowes assassina
tion.
THERE were severe storms throughout
the Middle States and. New F..ngland on
Sunday. In Clinton county, this State,
orchards, fences and sheds were levelled,
and houses unroofed. The City Flouring
Mill, in Lock Haven, was moved out of
line. A telegram from Long Branch, N.
J., estimates the damage along the beach
at $20,000. The. cottage of JUDSON
-STILES, at Ocean Grove, was struck by
lightning and Miss STILES was paralyzed.
It is believed her injuries are fatal. At
Amityville the barn and stables of STII4.-
ar.pN RICHARDS were consumed by BOA
•ning, with three head of aittle,^a quantity
of timothy and farming implements. ,
At Shark River, the house of Mr;
Mortar; was struck by lightning, and ail
the inmates were injured; one, named
LYDIA HENDERSON, perhaps fatally. At'
New. Brunswick, trees and 'fences were
levelled, several store windows !were
blown in, and the High School was un
roofed. Considerable dathage was done
by the wind along the north side Of Long
Island. A whirlwind in Barnstead and
Gilmanton township, New Hanipshire,
on Sunday night, blew down acres of tim
ber, demolished barns, unroofed houses,
and moved a meeting-house a distance of
several feet. The total damage ip esti
mated at $lOO,OOO. Acres of trees, meas
uring two to four feet in diameter, were
snapped like pipe stems by the wind.
THE nomination of General GARFIRLD
gives general satisfaction to the country
so far as ascertained. His 'record is one
of the very best, and is character is with
out a stain. In his own district in Ohio
his popularity has always been great, and'
he was in the habit of carrying it when
ever Congressional elections occurred by
overwhelming majorities. He, was elected
first in 1862 by 6,525 majority ; in 1864
his majority was 11,771 ; in 1866 it was
10,986'; and in 1868 it Was 10,800. Nine
times in succession he has been chosen in
the district. In spite of all political
changes of the past twenty years, his plu
rality at the last election was 9,613, and
ho has aince'been chosen by the State of
Ohio to fill that eat in the United States
Senate from which Mr. Tut:Est/ix was
dismissed. Until that time, though long
recognized as ono of the most popular
men in:the State, he had never consented
to be aiiandidate •for any office' than that
of Representative in Congress since he
left the State Senate to enter the army
in 1861. Few men in this country have
ever been able to_ look back upon as long
a succession of triumphs by the popular
vote, and very few havO given better evi
dence of fitness .for high station.
EVERY word of this from an exchange
is true. That General GRANT ever ex
pressed a wish for the Chicago nomina
tion has yet to be established. The calin
unconcern with which he has viewedthe•
contest all along attended him when he
received the news of GARFIELD'S nomina
tion. He is not and never has been a pol
itician, or an intriguer afternominatious.
The silent soldier has always permitted
office to seek him. Ho Rover has been an
office-seeker himself. After the mists of
prejudice engendered by the heat of poli-
tics have cleared away the whole Ameri
can people, without regard to party will
rightly appreciate the real greatness of
the man.
Tlyrsvif.t.i., the most beautiful and
prosperous town in the Pennsylvania oil
regions, was visited with a fearful confla
gration on Friday. As is generally the
case in that oleaginous portion of the
State, lightning was the cause, a tank of
20,000 barrels of oil, located , on a hill,
having been struck and ignited. The
huge iron reservoir burst and the flaming
oil started a conflagration that-lasted all
the day and into the night before its rav
ages were checked. The destruction em
braced oil, 'tanks, stores
, and private
houses, while the hiss is estimated at from
$1,2r)0,000 to $1,500,000. Happily there
was no loss of life.
PHILADELPHIA LETTER
PAILADELPIIIA, Juno 14, ISO
The greatest interest of the past week
centered in the doings at Chicago, and
the proceedings of the Convention were
watched by thousands who clustered
about the newspaper offices where the
ballotings were displayed in the windows
as soon as taken. ',There was a monotony
in the way the figures ran, all day Mon
day, and en Tuesday, until the thirty
fourth ballot came, when it was very evi
dent that lightning was about to strike.
The excitement became intense, though
the result was clearly foreshadowed.
When - the placards said that Garfield was
nominated, there was a general rejoicing
that the long conflict was so happily end
ed. Cheers greeted the announcement,
and crowds quietly dispersed. The solid
vote which Grant received . to the very
last, Was spoken of with respect and ad
miration. The return of the Union Re
publican Club on Wednesday night, was
the occasion of an imposing demonstration.
The stay-at-home members turned out to
receive and welcome the white-hatted ex
cursionists, and before they reached their
rooms the procession was an immense one.
Banners and transparencies were display
ed with the usual accompaniments of
brass bands, and thejourning of fire
r works. The general feeling ,in the city
towards the ticket made at Chicago- is
good, and a rousing majority will be
given. _
The term of office of Mr. Tutton, the
Collector of the Port, expired on the sth,
and on Thursday the President Sent to'
the Senate the name of General Hart
rankto fill the place. This appointment
has given rise to various rumors and
much comment. It is said on one hand
that Mr. Tutton was not re-appointed be
cause he was urged for the place by Mr.
McManes, and that the Secretary is indig
nhnt because the bolting members of the
Pennsylvania delegation did not at any
time give him any support. But others,
who profess to speak by the card, allege
that the purpose to appoint General Hart
ranft was formed and expressed months

Charlie• Roes has again turned up, this
time in Michigan. The Chief of ' Police
has received a letter describing a boy in
Mendon, which was bupposed to be the
missing child. fir. Ross, however. after
reading the letter, said that he did not
think'&it was his child. Re says horis still

Rev. Henry White Warren, D. D., late
pastor of the Spring Garden M. E.
Church, who was recently elevated to the
episcopacy, Friday evening was tendered
a complimentary receptiotOy , his brother
ministers and the Methodist people of
this city. The ceremony took place in
-the Spring Garden Church, which, long
before eight o'clock, the hour of begin
ning; was densely crowded. Upon the
stage sat Bishop Simpson and his col
league-elect Bishop Warren and most of
the Methodist ministers stationed here
After the singing of several hymns and de
votional exercises, Rev. Dr. Todd deliv-
ered the address of welcome to Bishop
Warren. James Long then welcoMed the
It Bishop in the name of the laity, and
Bishop Simpson extended the greeting of
the episcopacy. Bishop Warren replied
With considerable feeling, and asked for
the prayers of his brethren, and entreated
them not to lefa feeling of distance sepa
rate them from him. An address was also
made by Rev. William Arthur, D.D., and
the services were concluded with the ben
ediction.
Llmost everybody has heard of the no
torious Dr: JOhn Buchanan, of bogus di
ploma celebrity. Be has been in trouble
overand over again, 'but somehow he al
ways turns up on the right side, after all
lie has been for years the head-man o
the so-called University, of Philadelphia,
or Pine Street College, where medical
men and women are turned out to order
at very short notice, and
. are sthit to all
sections of the country, to the great dan
ger of all sick people with whom they
may come in contact. Special Agent Bar
.tt, of the Post-Office Department, has
been looking .after him for some time,
and Wednesday a warrant was placed in
the hands of Deputy United States Mar
shal for his arrest on the charge of devis

before United States Commbisioner Gib-, (

Upon the arrival of the Red Star steam
ship Ithyuland, at Christian street wharf
on Thursday, two United States Deputy
Marshals from New York took into custo
dy a family' of 'five persons who were
among the 472 immigrants that came on
ithat vessel. This family consisted of the
'Widow Ibach and 'four children named
Ernest, Clara, -Alexander and Albert,
whose ages varied from nineteen to twen
ty-seven yects. The crime laid on them
isAhe forging of drafts in the German
Empire upon which they are alleged to
have obtained $12,000. With the money
thus.secured they took passage, and had
not left Antwerp twenty-four hours when
a cablegrain to Consul-General Schuma
cher, of New York, notified him that
they should be captured upon the iirrival
of the Rhynland. In their trunks were
found valuable clothing and a large quan

' The oue hundred and eightieth anni
versary -of the dedication. of the " Old
Swedes Church" "'Gloria Dei," wali cel
ebrated in that building on Penn street,
on Sunday last. Before the beneficent
founder of this State arrived here, the
Swedes were in possession, and the pres
ent church was erected on a - spot on the
Delaviare river, then known as Wiaco.
The preserit rector, in his .memoranda,
states that the Swedes arrived in April,
1638,..at New Sweden ; built the church
at Tincinum in 1646 ; the wooden church
at Tranhook in 1667, and on Trinity Sun
day, in 1677, the Rev. Jacob Pabricus'
first sermon was delivered in the Wiaco
block-house. On the first Sunday after
Trinity, 1700, the dedication of the pres
ent Church•waii consummated.
The few hot days have had the effect
to send the residents of the city to the
sea-shore'and the watering places. There
a general desire to escape from the
"fiery furnace" made by the heated
brick walls and pavements which fairly
glow with heat under a burning July sun,
while the air is like the breath of a si
moon. So those who can afford it, (or
think they can) close their homes, and
remove their families to more salubrious
locations, while the million goes on ex
cursions to the sea-shore, or some favor
ite pic-nic-ing place. Atlantic City, from
its accessibility is a favorite resort for ex
cursionists, and it is calculated that at
least fifteen thousand people went there
last fitinday, There arq , now three rail
roadsilto Atlantic Cit7;',and the trip is
madeln ninety minutes. Excursionists
make an early start, l .ind have nearly the
entire day at the beach. Cape May is
reached in-two hours, and is the , favorite
place with Philadelphians, who were ac
customed to.visit it when it was a long
journey. The bathing is not equalled
anywhere on the coast, and the hotels are
celebrated. The Stockton House will be
opened next Saturday, and will be for ate
season in the charge 'of Charles Duffy,

The latest, agricultural piirld is the army
worm:- It first madeita-tappearance in
t
New Jersey, and in Ocean and Monmouth
Counties the'damage his biiin very great.
Farmers who at sunset see their grass and
rya doing well awake at sunrise to find
acres on acres destroyed. The rapidity
and thoroughness with which these
worms do their work appalling, and
coupled with the late drought this new
scourge is likely to make the year 1880
one of serious disaster to a large part of
New, Jersey. About Long Branch the
worth appears in the greatest numbers.
Hardly a blade of grass is stranding in
lohn Hooey's Hollywood park, the de-
.ction of the forty, acres comprising
the park being accomplished in two, days.
In the vicinity of Fun old the, worm 'has
4:11 1
made terrible ravages pon the cornfields.
Between Red Bank d. Long Branch the
Central New Jersey m i ilroad track is black
with the , worms %filch are travelling
westward. The wools have also made
their appearance in Delskware, Chester,
Lancaster and Berko Counter and the
farmers are in a sit e of alarm. The
worm resembles in tiie and appearance
'the ordinary ".cut, voim." It travels af
ter the manner of ifinleaterpillar, by loop
ing and is more 'actile than the cut-worm.
COLLISION ON THE SOUND
Terrible Lose of Life: by Burning and
Drowning.
The steampship l Narragansett, of
the Stonin;ton Line, which left New
York on Friday evening, collided
with the, steamer Stonington off
Green Pcint, Lonk Island; at mid
night, on Friday, and in an hour
afterward'took fire and was burned
to the wa;er'in.edge, The loss of - life
was very heavy.
A dente fog prevailed at the time
of the cdlision and every one was in
bed whet the crasl came. A fright
ful sceneof confusion ensued. People
fled half naked to the upper decks,
_screaming and rushing frantically in:
all directions, a,nd' leaping headlong
overbear]. - Alt the lights were ex
tinguishel by the !;hock and all was
in darkness, thus adding to the con
hternatiot, but thiS was soon follow=
ed by theappalling sight of a. sheet
of name leaping up into the air
shoiting he vessel was on fire. The
excitement then knew no bouuds,
and the 'ire burned so quickly and
fiercely tiat people were compelled
tojeap bto, the darkness and water
beneathiseizing life buoys, mattreh
ses and clanks or whatefer else came
to hand: One man was seen to draw
a pistol Mul deliberately shoot him-
self through the head. Meanwhile
the Narngansett Settled steadily
thewato and when she finally sank
all was larkness again except the
glimmerfrom the lights on the Ston:
ington and a passing steamer; be l i
City of New York. These voixtis.i
had meamhile lowered their boatl
and were saving all those found float
ing in tlr vicinity. The screams 4 1
the dyini and pleadings of those in
the wate was something never to be
forgotten.. •
Therewere over four hundred, in
cluding )assengers and crew, on the
Narragatsett. Thy loss of. life• is
variously estimated at from thicy to
one huqred. Many of those reed
alive anp badly scalded. T aro died
on the aonington atter being Uken
out of tie water. Every one lost
their clotting and •ne womar. lost
three thMsand dollars in money.

A paStenger on the Stonington
gives thq following abount of the
disaster: Soon after th• steamer left
l'roviden-e. the weather recame thick.
By 11 o'dock nearly . e - erybody was
iii bed, ant all on board was quiet.
At about 11.15 there was a sudden
crash, and in a momeit there was a
terrible confusion. Alen, women.and
