PHI MARY ELECTIONS.
The first experiment of the primary elec
tions, under the new rules of the Republican
party, has given a good test to the wisdom of
the convention which revised the rules.
Both the advantages and the disadvantages
of the new system were fully developed on
Tuesday last, and the main resnit is cer
tainly favorable to the new rules.
It is proved to be an advantage to hold
these primary elections in day-light. Many
citizens who would not turn out in the even
ing to vote on such oecasions, are willing to
give-a little time to the duty within reason
able hours, and the most respectable and in
fluential men in the several Wards are thus
enlisted in exercising their proper control of
the nominations.
Another advantage consists in the im
mediate assemblage of the several conven
tions. Very little time is thus allowed for
bargains and sales of votes, and unless an
aspiring candidate can secure his delegates at
the polls, be stands but little chance of reach
ing them in the convention.
But the main advantage is in the division
of the nominations among several conven
tions, and this has been strongly illustrated
in the recent case. Instead of 261
delegates beiEg entrusted with the
nomination of the whole municipal ticket,
each of the seven city offices to be filled in
October has its own set of. delegates, whose
single duty is to select a suitable candidate
for that one office. The advantage of the
plan is a double one. It prevents all trade
among the delegates upon different parts of
the ticket, except so far as it can be done at
the primary elections, and it separates a con
test over any particular office from the action
of nominating the rest of the ticket, so that
while, in such extreme cases as that of the
District Attorneyship, one convention may
differ so widely as to warrant a division and
the nomination of two candidates, the rest
of the ticket is amicably and unanimously
adopted,.and instead of having the whole
nominating power discontented and divided,
we have six-sevenths of the representative
bodies returning to their precincts in perfect
harmony and justly well satisfied with their
work.
The disadvantages developed by the late
primary elections are grave ones. They have
probably all been canvassed in the revising
convention; but as that body waß
constituted on the old basis of precinct
representation, it was scarcely to be
hoped that a change would be Sanctioned
by those who would lose power by the re.
form.
The grave defect is in representation. De
mocratic wards, in some of the precincts of
■which the Republican element has scarcely
an existence, hold the same power as the
strongest Republican Wards, and in some
cases even more, in consequence of the ap
portionment of the precincts, so that the in
vestigation now going on will undoubtedly
prove that 100 delegates in . any Conven
tion may, and often do, represent a far larger
constituency than the remaining id.
There is an excellent remedy for
this, and there should be a way
made for its application. If each precinct,
instead of voting one, should Vote the aggre
gate Republican force of the precinct, as sha wdv
by the official return of the preceding Covert
nor’s election, we should have a fair expres
sion in the nominating conventions of the
will of the whole party. Such a reform as
this is absolutely needed to correct the mani
fest impropriety of the present system-
There is another defect in the new rules as
regards the system of registry. There can
be little doubt among ordinarily intelligent
men as to the intent of this registry; but there
is just enough obscurity in the statement
of that intent, to leave a pretext for evading
the true meaning, and making the registry
serve the cause of fraud. More than one
glaring case occurred on Tuesday last, where
itwaß sufficiently evident that the registry
lists had been made up to suit one interest,
and where the sameTndividaals who had
made the lists assumed the right to exclude
all Republican voters who were not on the
lists. It is very plain that it was intended
that errors or omissions should be corrected
by the vouchers of well-known Republican
voters, but the language of the rules needs to
be made so plain that the most obtuse or the
most' perverse judges and inspectors cannot
pretend to misinterpret them. '
Another incidental disadvantage arises
from theimmediate assemblage of the con
ventions. There is no time to expose frauds
or to contest the seats of illegal delegates. The
fraud may be plain to all eyes, but it may re-
quire days to put it into definite and con
vincing shape. The fraud may apply to the
whole ticket or to only a part of it, and it
may be necessary to go into eight conven-
Jjppe at once, a few hours after the fraud has
been .committed, and prove transactions
requiring of a large amount
of testimony. It is true that this objection
may not permanently overbalance the ad:
vantage secured by early conventions, as
there is likely to be much less chance of
such frauds as the few men who perpetrate
them become well-known in their precincts
and their method of procedure is better un
derstood. Such men form such a miserably
small minority m the Republican party that
it only needs exposure to destroy their power
and to purify the whole system of primary
elections. j
If the main defect in the basis of representa
tion can be romedied, the other defects will
soon remedy themselves. The interest which
the Union League and the Republican press
generally have awakened among the peoplo
in the important duty of doing their oion
voting will not die out The hasty and im
perfect experiment of last week: shows what
can be done in conducting our municipal
affairs on a truly Republican principle, and
another year will perfect what has been so
admirably begun.
KEMOVIISQ THE CAPITAL.
; On Saturday, Mr. Logan, of Illinois,
gave notice that to-day he would move the
appointment ©fa Committee to “select a site
for the capital of the United States, on ac
count of the disregard of the law, and of the
disloyal element constantly showing itself in
Washington in such bitterness towards loyal
people, and in disregard of the authority of
the United States.” Whether or not Mr.
Logan has chosen a proper time, for the
agitation of this subject may be open for
question ; but there can be no two disinter
ested opinions as . to the propriety, and, in
fact, the pressing necessity for the change.
Apart from ail political considerations, the
present location of the national Capital is im
proper,inasmuch as it is inconvenient, and no
more Central than the felloes are to the centre
of the wheel,, or than the rind is to
the ■ heart of the melon. In fact,
the city of Washington never was central,
either in respect to territory or to population.
The Capital was nearly in the centre of popula
tion while it was in Philadelphia, but when at
the close of the last century the South clogged
the wheels of government for the purpose of
forcing the North to consent to placing the
National Capital where it would be surrounded
by slave territory and subjected to slave in
fluences, it was-removed almost to the ex
treme circumference of both population and
territory. ’ Since that time the country has
spread Westward with almost marvellous
rapidity, and year after year the strange
spectacle is presented of Congressmen, Sena
tors and delegates from the shores of the
Pacific and the Rocky Mountain regions,
wending their way to the banks of the Po
tomac to legislate for the nation at large.
But the political considerations to which Mr.
Logan refers should have great weight. All
the serious troubles that have ever beset the
country have come from the peculiar slave
neighborhood which surrounded the national
capital. Calhoun would never have dared to
preach nullification and political heresy in a
national capital located upon the banks of the
Ohio; John Tyler would not have ventured
upon the experiment which Andrew John
son has emulated and improved upon, but tor
the countenance and support of a slave neigh
hood; Davis, Breckinridge, Toombs and the
rest of them would have hesitated
at preaching disunion and secession
in a pure atmosphere of freedom;
Pierce and Buchanan would have
found more backbone in a capital where
slavery was alar off;' there would have been
no rebellion but for the hope and expectation
of being able to seize the seat of Government,
which actually lay within the enemy's coun
ty, and thus enable the rebels to lay claim to
European recognition on the ground of being
he Government de facto; there would have
been no assassination of Abraham Lincoln 'iu
a Capital where the assassin would have
found no shelter except in a free State, and
ast, and not least important of all, there
would have been no presidential apostacy in
obedience to rebel dictation, bad the White
House stood anywhere upon genuine free Boil.
There are but two substantial considerations
that have any weight whatever in the discus
sion of this question of removal: first, the
cost of breaking up the old seat of Govern
ment and establishing a new, and secondly,
the damage that the removal of the Capital
will inflict upon the city of Washington. As
regards the question of cost, engineers have
estimated that the expense of removal to a
point in the valley of the Mississippi would be
ten millions of dollars, and ttyat two years’
time would be required to effect the change.
We are not advised as to whether the present
plan proposes to remove the actual material
of such buildings as the Capitol, the Treasury,
the Patent Office and the General Post Office.
T To many persons such a scheme would seem
wild and impracticablfe; ;but it must be re
membered that the materials for these very
buildings were brought to Washington from
quarries and workshops hundreds of miles
distant from the and reship
ment to a point farther West would involve
a simple question of freight and transporta
tion, and a taking down, marking, number
ing and setting up again. As regards a site
for the new capital, the States would vie with
eaciv other in offers of land and facilities, and
a needed ten miles-square, such as Maryland
and Virginia, ceded for the capital upon the
Potomac, could be found in a thousand
places in the West, and no danger of any de
mand ever being made for a retrocession, as
in the case of Virginia and the District of
Columbia. Under any probable circum
stances the cost would be trifling in com
parison with the advantages which would
result from the change.
As regards the injury that would be in
Dieted upon the City of Washington, by the
removal of the National capital, that con
sideration will carry with it but little weight
in the minds of loyal people. It would be a
harsh thing to say that.among the owners of
real estate and the dwellers in that city just
men are as scarce as they were in Sodom in
the days of Lot; but it is notoriously a
pestiferous ucßt of secessionists .and rebels at
heart, who have long striven to destroy the
government from which and through which
they drew' their subsistence; The experi
ence of the last eight or ten years proves that
generosity is wasted upon them, and their

SPARROWS AND WORMS.
The annual plague of worms on the trees
ofPhiladelphiahas been worse this season
than usual. The luxuriant foliage produced
by the constant rains has fed and fattened
the vile little creatures to an extraordinary
degree. But their very vigor and rapacity have
probably shortened their career, for thou
sands of trees are stripped v leafless,' and' the.
worms have come almost prematurely to the
period when they turn into the white
butterflies. ' ,"
It is somewhat strange that there hae been
ho organized and extensive undertaking to
introduce in Philadelphia the mortal-enemy
of these .worms,, the English sparrow. • In
New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City
they have been introduced; thou
sands of houses for them have been placed in
the trees; they have been fed and supplied
with water in winter, and they have in
creased in numbers enormously. Their in
crease has been marked by a corresponding
diminution of the worms, until they have
now almost wholly disappeared from New
York and the neighboring cities. And yet
they were once as bad there as they now are
in Philadelphia. The banishment of the
squirrels from the public squares makes them
once more habitable for the 1 birds. But the
best birds for destroying the worms should
be brought and induced to remain by provid
ing for their comfort and safety, as has been
done in New York. Whoever will procure
a lot of English sparrows from New York or
elsewhere, and have them make a habitation
>n any of our squares, will be a public bene
factor.
thetaraovatah canard.
The new& from the Paraguayan war by
way of Chili and Aspinwall is only three
weeks older than thjit received by steamer
direct, and also, by steamer via England.
Hence the story about 800 prisoners and
6,000 horses captured by the Paraguayans is
a canard on the same plan as the news of
Confederate victories published in England
during our war.
It was from this same source the absurd
rumor came that the Emperor of Barzil was
about to abdicate, and which caused many
profound editorials to be written in this coun
try. There was no truth in it. The last
news from the seat of war is to the end of
April. The Brazilian forces and iron clads
were above Hnmaita, as well as in front of
it. Lopez had taken his main forces to Tebi
quary, 50 miles up the river, whither the allies
would follow.
Boston’s men of dough have rushed to the
rescue of Senator Fessenden, and sixty of
them, “all Republicans of the first water,”
are so lost in admiration of his abandonment
of his party and his repudiation of his Sena
torial r ecord, that they beg the honor of
dining with him. What a pity it will be,
if Fessenden, with his “Roman
virtue” declines the invitation. H j
threatens to let them off with a letter, but
that will be a very poor satisfaction to Bos
ton’s brave doughfaces. Even as they
licked the boots of Andrew Johnson when,
be condescended to honor them, a year ago,
with his august presence, they wish to wor
ship Fessenden in person, and; regardless of
his dyspepsia, to feed him with dejicaie
viands, in honor of his apostaay. A letter i ?
a poor substitute. If he will eat their dinuer,
then can these Roman patriots of Banker
Hill bid Trumbull, Henderson, Fowler, R jss
and Van Winkle to grace their board. Pos
sibly, Mr. Chase himself might adorn the ova
tion, and under the genial influences of past
prandial libations, the country m'tglr
get a peep at those occult mysteries
which even the keen researches of Butler
and Logan have failed to uncover. Wo hops
Mr. Fessenden will accept the dinner. It is
such exhibitions of crawling sycophancy that
arouse the honest disgust of all earnest men,
and Boston has a peculiarly happy faculty for
just such man-worship as this, a form of idol
atry, we are glad to know, which has gone
very much out of vogue among the masses of
the American people,
It is stated that MiBS Vinnie Ream, nothing
daunted by being ousted from her comforta
ble and exceedingly cheap quarters in the
Capitol at VVashington, is hard at work to
regain her studio and to continue her colos
sal burlesque of Abraham Lincoln at the
national expense. We do not know much
about this energetic young woman, but all
acoounts seem to agree that,'apart from her
talents as an enterprising lobbyist, her claims
upon Congressional consideration are not of
the highest order. Those who have been
so unfortunate as to see her mode'
of Abraham 'Lincoln, represent, it as a
monstrosity that made the confinement of
Woolley in the same room with it an act of
positive cruelty; The means by which a
rather pretty and very.talkative little woman
got an appropriation of $lO,OOO through Con
gress to waste Oh this projected piece of
statuary which nobody supposes will ever
be finished or, if finished, ever be accepted
by Congress, have never been publicly ex
plained. Now that the young woman has
been dislodged froin the quarters, which she
occupied at the public expense, we trust that
a regard for art, economy and social pro
priety will not only keep the door locked
upen her, but will also reclaim whatever re
mains to be saved out of the $lO,OOO so fool
ishly appropriated. _ -
In a speech addressed a few days since to a
delegation of workingmen, President John
son said that he was in the habit of receiving
letters casting taunts and jeers on bis calling
as a tailor, but he heeded them not, for-faccu
pation never disgraced a man ' who did not
disgrace his craft. This is very true. A re
spectable tailor is as good and as worthy a
a man as any other, even as a President, and
every intelligent person regards him so. But,
however proud Mr. Johnson may be of his
sartorial record, he certainly cannot reasona
bly boast "mtich of his Presidential career.
For while a dishonored tailor i«, without
doubt, a very rascally fellow, a dishonored
President is a greater villian precisely in pro
portion to the greater magnitude of his trust
and the dignity of his position. No intelli
gent tailor, with any self respect, would care
to exchangeilsixeputallon aa an- honorable
man with Mr. Johnson as a renegade and
traitorous President ~
The Grand Jury of the United States Dis
trict Court, in’ttieir recent presentment, added
the weight of their testimony to the almost
universal opinion that the high tax on
whisky is a prolific source of misery and
corruption, while it utterly fails in its' object
ofyielding an adequate. revenue to the Gov
ernment. The presentment very truly and pith
ily says: “The high tax does not diminish the
consumption in drinking. Fraudulent
tillation dots not cheapen it to consumers for
drinking purposes, neither in the alcoholic
form for the arts or artisans, for medicinal
purposes, compounds, tinhtures, lotions, &c.;
neither for cosmetics; and : the various prepa
rations of cologne Water, the importation of
which, from the high- price of alcohol, is
vastly increased! *’Tkese‘uses';last enumerated
probably consume ; as much whisky as is
drunk. * The money, it is believed, made by
this fraudulent distillatioh goes into the
pockets of these traffickers instead of the
hands of the Government.’’ There is no sub
ject before ; Congress. that is more pressing
than the tax on distilled spirits, and with aIL
honest mqn in the country, who arc familiar
with^ihd practical .workings of the law, in
favor of a reform that is only opposed by the
iniquitous \Vhisky Ring, there should be no
hesitation at effecting such legislation as Will
break up this terrible boutco of corruption.;;
Bummer has come, though ’ tardily. A
rainy season worthy of the tropics has made
the farmers somewhat despondent, but it has
made life in town not only tolerable but com
fortable, up to the middle of June. Now,
however," the flight of citizens to the country
and the seaside has set in in earnest, for the
sky is clear, the wind is southerly, and the
mercury in the thermometer marks eighty
degrees or more on this i sth of June. Hap
pily for the numerous class that cannot afford
to flee to the mountains or the; seaside, a
summer beginning so late must bo of com
paratively short duration. The season for
the watering-places will be’more brief than
usual, but the landlords will probably charge
accordingly, to guard against losses.

AN ODE ON A RAILWAY SANDWICH
Stringy and eld, and lama and halt,
Was the pig whose flesh was put to salt.
Such gristly stuff was tho salted meat
That it seemed about half fll to eat.
They hacked it m chunks with 8 knife so
blunt,
7 hat it almost made the animal grunt.
They offer the sandwich chunks for sale
To the hungry folks who ride by rail.
A lunch for a famished man to eat,
Two chunks,of bread and aohunkof
meat!
The bread sosour and the meat so tough,
That a bite or two is bite enough.
‘'he butter’s rank and tho mustard’s
strong,
And that is the end of my Sandwich Song.
It is a noteworthy feature of the above
described Sandwiches that when you
have onco bought you never buy again
Sut people who once buy at our great
6rown Stone Hall always come and come
sgsin for clothes to the end of their
natural lives.
Come and see our tremendous lot of
magnificent Summer Clothing.

[Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
New Youk, Juno 15.—An Immense meeting
for the reunion of the Presbyterian Chnrches
was; held last evening in tho Rev. Dr. Hall’s
Church. Numbers went away, unable to gain
entrance. Addresses were delivered by Bev.
Drs. Adams, Shedd, Prime, Hall* Bt. B. Smith
and Sutphln, and Robert C artcr and Geo. H.
Stuart, Eaqs." The devotional exercises were
conducted by Doctors Skinner, Hatfield and.
Crosby. Intense but suppressed feeling was
manifested when Doctor Hall introduced Mr.
George H. Stuart, and Dr. Adams,on behalf of the
. audience, extended him the right band of fellow-.
ship. Mr. Stuart addressed tho vast audience
' until nearly ten o'clock.
From Fortress Monroe.
Fortress Monroe, Juno 13.—The boiler In to,
„ steam saw mill of N. &. J. Neely, situated on the
Blackwater river near Frookiln depot, 8. and R.
Railroad, exploded yesterday morning at eight
j o’clock, wlib terrific violence, killing W. W.
I Thomas Kirby, the engineer, and several negroes
j who were employed about tho mill. .
i It appears that last Thursday morning one of
i the hollers was discovered to be leaking, and the
j stop valve between them was put oil so as to
1 confine all (he steam in one boiler white the de
j fecilve one was being repaired. Yesterday
I morning like fires were kindled under cacti fur
! naec as UEual, but the stop valvo between them
: was not opened. A short time before the ex
i plosion the steam . guage on the boiler
j which had the day before been repaired
i Indicated 75 ponnas pressure, while that
| of the other odc was much greater. Mr. Kirby,
in order to equalize It. got upon the boiler, anil
was about turning the valve when the explosion
took place. It carried him up nearly a hundred
i feet, and when he came down ho was found to be
dead and bis body in a very mangled condition.
Mr. Kirby was a- sober and industrious yoang
man, and had only been married about a year.
His remains were brought to Portsmouth and
turned over to his grief-stricken wife for burial.
James Ricks, a negro fireman, wbo was near
the engine at the time of the explosion, was also
instantly killed. William Scott, a negro wood
! passer, was dug out of the rnins between 9 and
i lo o’clock, and died at 12 M. Alfred Gardner,
white sawyer, was badly scalded about the body.
Allred Jones, negro 6awyer, severely scalded
about the head and arms. Simon Jnrana,
i a negro laborer, had his shoulder-blade
dislocated by a falling timber. George
Mackey, Degro. wounded in the side
by a.’falling timber, Abram Barrett, negro,
wounded in the head by a bolt froafcaae of tho
boilers. There was c blacksmith shop abont 50
yards distant from the mill, in which were twd
, colored men at work, named ’Drewry and Delk.
The, former was knocked down by a piece of
brick striking him in tho head, while the latter
was knocked senseless by a piece of falling timber.
The mill employs eome twenty-eight men, all
told but fortunately they were mostly absent at
the time of the explosion, or the loss of life
would have been very heavy. The north side of
the mill was entirely,blown to pieces, and the
place strewn with debris for a considerable dis
tance; the house of Mr, Nelly, situated a hundred
and fifty yards distant, was struck by falling
fragments and the windows broken by the ex
plosion.
The machinery of the -mill formerly belonged
to the Tkomaston Lumbering Company, and was
■i quite new, while it Is said the boilers were capa
ble of bearing 150 pounds of steam. The explo
sion was ho doubt caused by an overpressure of
, steam: on account of the stop-valve, which com
municated from one to the other, being closed.
The wounded men have been well taken caro
of by Drs. Mnssenbury, Goodman and Bryant,
and were at last accounts all doing well.
The coast survey steamer Bibb, now at Nor
folk, will proceed to Capo Hatteros In a few days,
for the purpose of making a more complete sur
vey of.that dangerous locality.

The Reyv YorK money narkec,
[From the New York Herald of To-Aav.i
. June 14th.-The market Jot -United States stocks was
dull during the greater part of last week, and on Friday
it woa drooping until'afu-r two o’clock, - when an
active demand set in; .tinder which prices recovered
• about if cent, and this improvement l -was- fol
lowed yesterday by n further advance of X<&X Per
cent, the greatest; activity and, buoyancy r
in the five-twenties of 1865 and-1867. The‘former are
held abroad largely, and are relatively about two per
cent cheaper than ihe bonds of 1 1862. the amount of
accnied interest pnbothbefhg equal, while 'the fact
that the bonds of 1865 have throe years longor to tun
luakeHthem really more valuable-than tbo othere, and
will ultimately cause them-to command a better price.
?be reason why tho bonds of 1862 are higher at present is
to bo found in the very largo amount of these already held
abroad, where they are consequently better known than
the later issues. have been almost en
tirely absorbed by the foreign demand, which will inf u
ture have to bu supplied mainly by purchases of
the bonds of 18&i,1865. and 1867. The recent dull
neea was in part a natural lull after tho previous extreme
activity and buoyancy, but thdalight decline which took
P’ n ce in prices was cawed by the efforts of dealer* who
had sold out their stocks to depress the market artificially
; for tho purpose of buying without putting prices up on
; themselves. In this way a considerable >hort" interest
was created and it has not.-yefc been entirely covered.
She real strength of the market was tested during this
period of inactivity, and confidence in a higher range of
! prices has been a materially " strengthened in conso.

DEATH OF A MERCHANT,
Tbc Now. Bevenuo BUI.
[Special Doqiateh to the Philadelphia Evenins Bafletin.]
; Washington, June 6.—The fight over the pro
position to take out special clauses In the
Revenue bill and frame them into a separate bill
was renewed In the House.
Mr. Shanks offered a resolution directing the
Coin knitted of Ways and Means to take out tho
whisky and totUcco sections and make them
into a special bilk
i This was objected to in strong terms by Mi.
Schenck, who said that this would take more
time than it would require to pass the bill In its
present shape.
' Mr. Pilo moved that Mr. Shanks’s motion be
laid upon the table; and upon this called the
ayes and nays, and it received 61 votes, while
there were 78 votes against it; so the House re
fused to lay the subject on the table.
Mr. Schenck arose and commenced to denounce
this course,but was called to order by tho Speaker,
but before taking his seat he said he should de
nounce this as cowardly and os an endeavor on
the part of those who proposed it to'choko
down the Committee of Ways and Means.
Considerable confusion here - ensued,, and
several gentlemen tried to get the door, but the
Speaker refused to recognize them.’
Mr. Maynard moved to reconsider the Vote
just taken, but scarcely hod he made it when Mr.
Spaulding moved to lay this motion on the table,
and upon it called the yeas and nays. By the
decided vote of 71 ayes to 62 nays the, House de
cided to lay Mr. Maynard’s motion on the table.
Mr. Maynard then moved that the Houße ad
journ, and the yeas and nays, were called upon
It. This was merely a filibustering dodge on the
part of those who desires tho Houeelto re
main In session until the whole bill waß passed,
to get time to consider what was best to bo done
•and lo prevent,-Mr. Shanks’ resolution passing.
By about the same vote as on tho other motion,
the House refused to adjourn.
Mr. Schenck then moved that the House re
consider the vote by which the previous question
on the passago of tho bill was seconded.
Before this could be mado another was mddo
to lay Mr. Schenck’s motion on the table, and it
was passed.
The rules were then suspended to allow Mr.
Schenck to speak for half an hour against Mr.
Shanks’ resolution, and those in favor of it the
same length of time.
Mr. Schenck then took th‘o floor.

Hr Chandler, as a member of tho late Commit

iron-dads would not float when finished—that
after expensive alterations they were worse than
before.
In reply to Mr. Drake he said that he could
not rtmember that those named in the bill ware
