Hoping to buy Southern voteß, he enters into com petition with Chief Justice Chase, and bids against him for the Democratic nomination. He gets nothing but the dis grace of the bargain for his pains. The nom ination is not to be bought with paper pro- Stions from Mr. Johnson or with servile: from Mr. Chase. The President, ing his powers far beyond the obvious meaning of the Constitution, undertakes to obliterate every trace of the rebellion. The people of the United States are purer and nobler than their rulers. They have learned the stern lesson's of the rebellion better, and they hold these men. unlawfully pardoned by a false President, as guilty now as they were while the blood of loyal thousands was yet fresh upon their-hands. They will judge An drew Johnson and his rebel clients as he him self judged Aaron Burr, when he said: “Is there a Senator here who w ould have voted to allow Aaron Burr to take a seat in the Senate after his acquittal by a court and jury? No; there is not a Senator here who would have done it. Aaron Burr was tried in court and he was found not guilty; he was turned loose, but was the public- judgment of this nation less satisfied of his guilt than if he had not been acquitted? What is the nation's judgment, settled and fixed? That Aaron Burr was guilty of trea son, notwithstanding he was acquitted by a court and jury.” The acquittal of Andrew Johnson bythe Impeachment Court, and his wholesale acquittal of the leaders of the rebel lion, are alike condemned out of his own mouth. THE FIRE NUISANCE. At the risk of being accused of a species of heresy,-we would ask if the present mode of celebrating the Fourth of July is up to the demands of the times. Military parades are very appropriate, particularly in the “cool qf the morning,” a period and a condition that were not discovered on the last Fourth. Patriotic addresses and the reading of the De claration of Independence are very proper; and fire-works, when they are artistic, on a sufficiently large scale to he attractive, and exhibited in a proper place for the show, are unobjectionable. But the universal diffusion of fire which marks the modem Fourth of July, and which forms the principal feature of the celebration, has grown to be a serious nuisance. From before daylight until mid night, there is a universal banging of guns, a firing of pistols, and the explosion of crackers in .gross and by de tail; and after night-fall, rockets whizz through the air, and all sorts of petty pyrotechnic contrivances blaze upon the pavements, pop upward from the hand, or whirl upon fences and trees. Our American Gheber pays no deference to the sick, the fears of the nervous, or the shittishness of fractious horses. He deems it his first and most sacred dutyfto scatter fire, and make a noiße and stench, and he performs that duty without regard to the risk of dam age to person, clothes, or the public peace. But the danger of universal conflagration is perhaps, the most serious evil that attends our modem mode of spending the Fourth. With our almost universal wooden roofs, lying as dry and parched as tinder under a blazing tropical sun, and with the window? of atore and dwelling wide open for the pur pose of getting a breath of air, it is no won der that fires are frequent, but it is Tather a marvel that half of our Fourth-of -July observing cities do not share the fate of Portland. We laugh at the Chinese for their clatter iDg of gongs, blowing of horns, exploding gunpowder and burning of gilt paper upon State and ceremonial occasions. But ..the Celestials take good care not to shower fire down upon roofs that are as combustible as kiln-dried Bhavings. Very few persons who have arrived at yeaTß of discretion but wil admit that the Fourth of July fire business is seriously overdone, and that a reform is netded. We have prize poems and prize es says upon almost every conceivable subject from potato disease to primary elections. Is here do league, society or body corporate that is public spirited enough to offer a re ward for a scheme for putting a stop to the annual abuse of fire and the supplying of Young America with an acceptable and harm less substitute for his Fourth of July'crackers and rockets. We are seriously afraid that Mr. Seward's extraordinary administration of our foreign affairs has given some of the less enlightened nations of the earth an idea that the United States is a kind of international junk shop in which refuse of any kind can be disposed of. Mr. Seward has made such a perfect Mrs. Toodles of himself in buying job lots ef con vulsive islands and desolate main lands, that this impression is not surprising. A states man who has bargained for Walrussia, and made bids for St Thomas, Samana, Lower California, Greenland, Iceland and a half a dozen of the Feejee Islands, de serves the reputation of a chiffonier who would not object to anything that came along. Denmark seems to have entertained this theory, and finding the United States so good a customer for her ricketty islands,she has be gun to empty her jails, and send to this oountry vagabonds whose morals are aB loose as the foundations of the island of St. Thomas. Of course this villainous proceeding has excited Mr. Seward’s wrath, for although these ras ■>ls who come here “in large numbers” affiliate with the Democratic party just as soon as that party needs a few voteß, the in justice of placing us in the position of penal colonists is so so apparent that even a rene gade Secretary feels compelled to protest against it. Mr. Seward directs the United States minis ter at Copenhagen to address a remonstrance to the Danish Government upon the subject, and then suggests that Congress shall “ make such practices a penal offence.” This is briefer than most of Mr. Seward’s State papers but not any clearer, it is quite im possible'to perceive whether the “ penal of fence” is to bring condign punishment upon the heads of the criminals, the ship owners, the THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PH! Danish emigrant commissioners, or the whole government of Denmark. In the first instance the amount of satisfaction derived from this kind of vengeance would be ex tremely small. In tho case of the two latter, punishment is not exactly practicable. Our former practice in such cases has been to ship foreign criminals directly hack to 'the ports from which they came, and at the expense of those who forwarded them to ns. If Mr. Seward 'finds that this simple and efficacious remedy. cannot be ap plied in this instance, we respectfully suggest that it would not be a bad idea to Bend Dan ish criminals to St. Thomas and blockade them in until a hurricane, dr a volcanic erup tion, or an earthquake,or all of these together, come along and completely demolish island, jail-birds and aIL Then we could refuse to pay for the island, and thus two good results would be accomplished; we would rid the world ol some very bad characters, and save our cash for other purposes for which it hap pens to be very badly needed at the prebent time. We publish in another column to-day the excellent regulations just issued by Colonel McFarland, Superintendent of Soldiers’ Orphans, in reference to the annua* vacation of the schools under his charge. The care which the State of Pennsylvania has extended to these destitute children, of whom nearly four thousand now enjoy its benefits, is well exhibited by this circular order. The State is coming up to the full measure of the pledges which Gov. Curtin gave to Pennsylvania’s soldiers, as they went tothefield, and the children of those who died in her defence are being sheltered,educa ted and prepared for future usefulness to the State, under a system of watchful and intelli gent care that reflects great credit on the Department of Soldiers’Orphans. Governor Geary has been most fortunate in his selec tion of its excellent Superintendent, and un der his auspices the improvement in the moral, intellectual and physical condition of the pupils iB steady, rapid and highly satis factory. Last evening one of the innumerable ig niters of private fireworks setiu a blaze upon the sidewalk in front of hi 9 dwelling some pyrotechnieal composition that burned with almost the brilliancy of the calcium light The effect upon the millers that are now so plentiful among the shade trees was curious. They swarmed towards the brilliant light by thousands, and, of course, shared the fate of Icarus. There is nothing new in the fact that moths are caught by glare; but it would be a new application of an old fact to trap millers by the magnesium light of science, and thus solve the vexatious problem of How to get rid of the nasty meaßuring worms.

Owing to this cause It was half-past ten o'clock before the delegStes were generally in their scats. Tho Convention was called to order by the Temporary Chairman a quarter before eleven o’clock. Prayer was offered by the Rev- Wm. Quinn, of New York. The President onnounced,as-the business in or der, the reading of the journal of Saturday.

Governor Beymonr proceeded to the chair amid great cheering, long continued. He briefly re turned thanks for the honor conferred upon him; counseled moderation, toleration and harmony. He said that most of the important questions forced upon the consideration of this convention by the resolutions ol the late Chicago Conventio n discussed briefly the Republican accused that party of violating its own declara tions against repudiation and unequal taxation, nnd then asserted solicitude for the soldiers’ and sailors’ widows and orphans. He accusfid-.the dominant party of an extravagant wastingor the public moneys, tainting the national credit, impe ding immigration by overburdening labor with taxation and breaking down all constitutional guarantees of republican liberty. He denied the assertion of 'the Republican Con vention that the principles of the Declaration ol Independence are now sacred in every inch of American soil, for in ten States of the Union military power suppresses the civil law.

Quarter Sessions —Judgo Peirce.—The July term commenced this morning. William H. Car ryil was appointed foreman of the Grand Jury. The petit jurors were called and a number were excused lor business reasons. Owing to the intense heat the attendance at the court was not large and the court was made up mainly of those who were compelled to be present. Peter Burns, convicted of a charge of forgery on tho 10th of January last, was called for sentence this morning. He has been in prison ever since his conviction, it being the desire of the prisoner that the sentence should be postponed, in order to allow him to have the advantage of the attendance of his own physician in prison, he then being in very ill health. Since his conviction he has sold his property nnd made restitution to tho Camden bank. The officers of the bank, through counsel, asked that, In view of the conduct of the priso ner. his sentence should be light. Judge Allison, while recognizing the fact that restitution had been made,could not consent that his punishment should be merely nominal. Tt should be recol lected that restitution is made part of a sentence, and in this case the defendant had only antici pated part of his sentence. Sentenced to ono year in the County Prison, to date from the day of conviction. The constables having failed to appear with their returns this morning, a rule was entered by Judge Peirce, requiring the return to be made oe Wednesday. Horrible Scene at an Execution in Nor tli Carolina. At Salisbury, North Carolina, Friday, a man named Rufus Ludwick, convicted at the fall term of the Rowan Supettor. Court for the murder of bis wife, paid the extreme penalty of the law. The Old Mrth State Bays of his conduct on the scaffold: Upon the very threshold of eternity, In the midst of a solemn, fervent and eloquent prayer offered up In his behalf by Mr. Rumple which moved a large part of the vast audience to tears, he coolly turned aronnd to a by stander and asked him for a chew of to bacco, Afterwards, while a hymn was being sung for his edification, he endeavored to engage in a very trivial conversation with those around who were near him! At length the Sher iff intimated to the .culprit that the time had come. At this notification he made an effort to jump from the scaffold and escape. This was prevented by the Sheriff’s officers, who surroun ded him, but he had to be hanged by main force. It required Borne half dozen persons to hold him while he was pinioned and the rope adjusted about his neck. Then he refused to stand up, and he was in a half lying, half sitting posture when the fatal drop fell and launched his soul Into eternity. He denied his guilt to the last. A Queer Story. The Journaldes Ztibats gives some novel and original anecdotes “sur Lord Stamford, le pro prie'taire do Yale Royal.” From one of them we learn that the late Lord, in leaving hie son an im mense fortune, imposed upon him the condition that bo should every year invest .£lO,OOO sterling in the purchase of silver plate., Whe the young Lord pad doubled and tripled his dinner and THED 13:30 O’Oloohc. ffGaBULLEm-?: toilet sets, he caused a magnificent staircase in solid silver to be manufactured. At last his powers of invention being exhausted he sought the aid of the law, and try tho payment of £20,000 down he obtained a judicial release from the ne cessity of further compliance wtth the onerous conditions of hiß legacy. ; Weatner Bepon, Inly 6.

Tom and tat tered battle-flags from nearly every field of strife of the late war were present, prefacing the en trance of the delegations, and in their rear ar rived various delegations, rapidly filling up the The police arrangements are ample, precaution being token to preserve most perfect order. The various bodies composing the procession, as they entered the hall,* were heralded by.-the bands playing airs which, have become fiunliiar to veteran delegates upon the field of battle. The Convention is emphatically an assemblage of soldiers, and their enthusiasm gives vent, not in clapping of hands and stamping of feet, com- 3:15 O’Oloofe. 6, 1868. mon to other bogles, bet in resounding cheers from stentorian luDgs. Each name pronounced signals a shout cither of deafening applause or vociferated groans, each given with a will, and displaying to the peaceful mind a little glimpq&, of what a .battle-cry might bo. Daring the filing in of the delegates and the taking or scats by the officers of the Convention upon the stage, the various bands, by concerted arrangement, played “Hail Columbia,” “Rally Bound the Flag,” &c.

An English writer remarks: The first thing that strikes an English lady In all foreign countries Is the absence of neatness, and of that domestic privacy which some of us cany to ex cess. It b nothing to us that foreigners do not feel the want as we do,-that there is nothing in congruous to the Spaniard in the mixture of pomp and sqnallor, which the English resident finds so repulsive. It may seem strange to us that the courtyard of the Palace at Madrid should be worse paved than any atableyard in a dilapidated house in England, and that heaps of rnbbish should be leit in full view of the Queen’s windows. So, too, when we hear of the family wash hanging out to dry over the drawing-room balcony of the handsomest houses In Madrid, we are struck by a painful sense of the scandal such a sight would cause in London. An English Church Association. An important movement Is en foot in England to organize a new association for the defense of the Established Church against the attacks made upon it. For nine years past there has been in existence “TheChnrch Institution,” whose mem bers (all laymen) consist of delegates from the rural deaneries throughout England and Wales, and one of whose duties it was to watch all meas ures Introduced into Parliament affecting the Cbnrcb. It is proposed to change the title into “TheChnrch and State Institution,” which is to Include clergymen as well as laymen, In addition to persons, sent from rnral deaneries. Severs noblemen, members of Parliament and other dis tinguished persons have consented to join the so ciety, which is intended to be a formidable oppo nent of the Liberation Society.
