DEnOOBitTIO BEFUDUTiON,
The Democratic Convention deserves
credit for the boldness‘with which it has set
tip its platform. Setting aside the dead-wood
of generalities thrown in to catch the igno
rant ear and eye, the platform rests upon a
single principle, the principle of repudiation.
This broad plank of repudiation carries the
whole financial and national questions of the
' country with it. It assumes two positions
. Which are equally false, and equally insulting
to the American people. It takes for
granted that the majority of the people
of this country, are dishonest rascals,
and that they are in sympathy with the re
bellion. It repudiates the public debt, and it
repudiates the results of the war, and the
... simple issue is now offered to the country
whether it will maintain its financial and
jaational honor with the Republican party,
or sacrifice it with the Democratic party.
The Democratic managers in New York
j have totally mistaken the temper of
the American people when they thus set
them - down as knaves and traitors. While
the Democratic platform, in obedience to
the cry of a few reckless demagogues,
demands the repudiation of a large portion of
the public debt, the Republican platform re
cognizes the sterling honesty of the masses
i ; and declares that:
u , “We denounce all forms of repudiation as a
crime and a national, dishonor. Honor
Ok- - requires the payment of the public indebtedness
' in the utmost good faith to all creditors, at home
' ‘and abroad, not only according to the letter, but
B the spirit of the laws nnder which it was con-
H traded."
Wf V The spirit and the letter of the several laws
■ under which the national debt was contracted
I leave no doubt in any honest mind as to the
fj. . method of its payment, principal and interest,
and whoever dares to set aside the" spirit or
a the letter of these laws does so at the expense
1/ of the plainest principles of common honesty.
II ' The most unlearned laboring man under-
I: stands the obligation of standing by his bar
:gains in good faith, and he despises and dis-
Ljf ...trusts whoever proposes anything short of an
honest settlement of a just debt.
But the Democratic principle of repudia
tion goes still farther. It proposes to repu
diate every result of the war. Framed by
rebel hands, —for we find among its builderß
such men as Vallandigham, Wade Hampton,
A. H. Stevens, and other leading traitors—it
could not do otherwise. It is bound to pledge
itself to a reversal of every measure
, , v of reconstruction and to treat the South in alt
i', tespects as if it had never rebelled. The
Southern element of the Convention would
not permit even the expression of a sham
I sympathy with the soldiers and seamen of
Union. The Democracy now recog-
but two classes of soldiers. It ackno w
!'??»?• ledges every man who ever wore a gray
uniform and fought for the rebellion, and
eyery man who. like Ewing, McClernand,
Blocum and the like, is ready to surrender
/all the fruits of victory, and to march
/ against the hosts of that great Re
/ publican party, to which alone
/ the victory of the Union was due. ‘ln con
trast with this repudiation of the cause of the
Union, this ignoring of the heroes of the war,
this; fraternizing with Southern rebels, this
determination to undo all that our gallant
soldiers won for their country, stands the
platform of the Republican party. It has no
treaty to make with rebels. It has no
V , Southern vote to court with promises of a
;< restoration of the old slave aristocracy. It
remains true to every principle of loyalty
. that saved us from the horrors of
disunion. It pays willing and grateful
homage to the true soldiers of the Republic.
It refuses to degrade them to a level with the
Hamptons, Forrests, Beauregards, Hills and
Priceß of the rebellion. It says now, as it
. eaid all through the War:
[ {% “Of all who'were faithful in the trials of the
h late, war, there were none entitled to more espe
■ honor than the brave soldiers and seamen
■ whd endured the hardships of campaign and
■ , 1 cruise, and imperilled their lives in the service of
■ - the country. The bounties and pensions provided
■ „ by law for these brave defenders of the nation are
■ obligations never to be forgotten. The widows
■ end orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of
■ ■ Jfce people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the na-
M ' i®bn s protecting care."
B /v-v The Democratic party has made its plat
■VV|»in, and it now matters little what candi
dates they put upon i‘. The wranglinj,
Eiscordant mob at Tammany JEtall
■ , Will nettle upon somebody, but that so me
lt fc>dy has a Procrustean bed made reedy for
■j/ If he should be some comparatively
SHjL mild sympathizer with rebellion like Hen
■V;' dricks, he must be stretched out to the
/length of a full acceptance of a total restora
' tioa of rebel power in dis government If
he should be a man like Chase, who has
K , stood before the country onspicuous for his
* proclamation of radically Republican princi
pies, and pledged to theuttcimoat against re
■T pudiation in its minutest shape, he must be
V lopped down to a level with Pendleton and
m Jefferson Davis, tc fit this infamous platform.
™ It is possible that the. nomination may be
/ made to-day, and not at all improbable that
M Mr. Chase will be the nominee. He wouia
m aceept any platform now. having gone so far
■ is his bids for the nomination that it would
B to useless for him to stop short' of an entire
repudiation of every principle he has held.
He would have been a very weak opponent
to General. Grant - on any . -plStform;
but to go before thff tot
tering upon— -roltjn ..planks
as those which he would be CQtnpplled to
ctand on, would present him in
moßt pitiful to contemplate. Hr. Chase<should
he be so unfortunate as to obtain this dis-
graceful nomination, will'fiud that he is'only
‘‘walking the plank” that will plunge
into a sea of final destruction, dishonor and'
defeat. “Chase and Repudiation!” “Chase
and Rebellion!” would be ugly mottoes''to be
found on the battle-flags of the\Dempcratic
party. <
“RAQGED-BASCAL.ISJII.” X*
There is a peculiarity among
plethat might be styled “Ragged-rascalism.”
Its older and most dramatic form is illustrated
by the portly, somewhat pompous, well-to
do gentleman, who addresses a speech to qn
admiring crowd. He tells his hearers of a
poor friendless boy, who was leit to shift for
himself in early life; he recites the story of
the early struggles of the youth; dilates par
ticularly upon the ventilated style of his
trousers about the time he got his first small
lift in the world, and then launches out into
a lecital of after efforts and after triumphs,
and his speech culminates in fine theatrical
Btyle with: “Gentlemen, the ‘little ragged
rascal’ now stands before you, and has the
honor of addressing you!” A house that
would fail to be “brought down” afjersuch
an oration and a peroration would be sadly
unappreciative.
Andrew Johnson is one of the most strik
ing instances of “ragged-rascalism” in
American history. There were doubtless
times when the pantaloons of Andrew Jack
son and £.braham Lincoln needed the care of
the sempstress; but while neither of the states
men named would have been shocked in after
life to be reminded of the circumstance, they
never made the fact the pet pivot of the
circle around which all their speeches, both
State and popular, swung.
But there is --plenty of “ragged
outside of the White House. It is seeujojjthe*
Church, it is seen at the Bar, it is seeaJjf'Tit
erature and in science, and it is seen iq trade.
In point of principle there is no real differ
ence between the “ragged rascalism” of the
Tennessee politician, who was a- penniless
boy and without friends (and who still re
mains in the latter predicament), ’ and Mr.
Bounderby, “the bully of humility,”- who,
pointing to bis ships and his houseß and to his
big bank account, proclaims himself, in season
and out, the “little ragged rascarwho had
accumulated it all.
Very frequently “Ragged-rascalism” ex
ists where it does not take this coarse and
boisterous shape. There is “ragged-rascal
ism” in the constant re-iteration of advice to
inferiors in point of fortune. The “penny
saved is two-pence clear,” and the “be a good
boy, and honest, and industrious, and you
may yet become a great and rich man,” only
leaves to be inferred, “I was once a pqor boy
a little ragged rascal like look
at me!" *.
There is “ragged-rascalism” in the ridierCU
lous affectation of expense; in enormously*
extravagant equipages; in “loud” dress'and
furniture and in tawdry displays of jewelry.
They ail say to the world, “You kflowAvhat
a little ragged rascal I once was. Only look
at me now /”
“Ragged-Rascalism,” in all its multiform
shapes and disguises, is simply the outgrowth
of excessive vanity and self-conceit. The af
fectation of humility is as gross and offensive
to the appreciative as would be a dis
play of pompous superciliousness or
strutting coxcombry. “Little Tagged ras
cals” have a right to rise in this country of
ours. In fact they are expected to rise, and
where they fail to do so it apfto be
the fault of themselves than of fortune, just
as the converse of the proposition holds good,
with many men who have grown rich and
powerful, with nothing but good fortune and
golden opportunities to thank ftn/their sac
cess. The common schools are intended to
give “little ragged rascals” a cJmncbljso rise
and to place them as nearly as "possible on a
level with the sons of the rich in (he outset o
the great race of life. All offices of public truß
and. emolument are open to the humblest,\and/
the present incumbent of the President hi
chair demonstrates that neither early poslu§h
nor high personal character or attainments
are absolutely necessary to enable a deter
mined man to reach that lofty position. The
man who honorably gains wealth and dis
tinction by bis own exertions is entitled to
honor. So is he who
fully trieß and fails. . But the man wEjjyonly
sees in his unexpected success in life an~ qyt?
denceof his own superior wisdom, virtufand
industry, runs into one of the many phases of
“ragged rascalism,” and is moreover very
apt to be one who is more indebted for his
Success to good fortune and adventitious •
circumstances than to the possession of those
qualities which he imagines grace his charac
ter in so eminent a degree.

StraDgers who visit Philadelphia are
amazed at the condition of many of ou
streets, and well they may be. The re
putation of the city for cleanliness was so
thoroughly established in olden times, that
it still survives; but its present ,character is
sadly at variance with its once
reputation. It is only for about Bbs/rnonths
of the year that any attempTis made toctean
the streets end then the effortß of the cob
tractors are exhausted upon theyremoval>of
the masses of accumulated filth of a few of
the principal thoroughfares, while the
back streets and alleys, where pestilence.is
always first developed, are rarely reached
until, under the desperate pressure of some
epidemic, the Board of Health steps Hi with
such sanitary measures as it can command
for the emergency.
We are now in midsummer, with the
city, as regards a large portion of it, in a
filthy condition, and with a torrid heat bask
ing down upon masses of every descrip
tion of garbage in narrow Jeourts
and alleys, where disease ,must
inevitably follow this, criminal ' neg- -
lectof the ordinary rules ol cleanliness. It is,
of course, possible that the season may jags
by without the scourge of cholera o/otker
pestilence visiting hs; but if it does it wilJyjUy ’
be due to the precautions taken to' oyeri/fti’
Councils have done something,
ifli iiiLY evbotsTg b
enough, towardscompelling the proper fblfll
ment There
is room for radical improvement in the whole
system, and there is no goodreason why
Philadelphia, with her 80Q,000' inhabitants,
should not be as absolutely clean as it was
with a population of 50,000. The increase of
area is no reason for_an increase
of preserving the health and clean
limStf o&the city keep pace wlm its growing
necessities. i-8
It is not only on account’of the direct ques
tion of health that Philadelphia should be
kept clean. It is to the interest of Philadel
phia to maintain her ancient reputation as the
best place of residence in the United States-
It is a direct benefit to whenever any
traveler takes away with him a good report
of clean streets, of efficient police, of abun- 1 '
dant water and light,\of peace, security and
comfort among the people, of good markets,
of flourishing manufactories, of fine public
institutions, of well-conducted charities.
Of all these, and of many more of the at
tractions of a great city, few arrest more at
tention than clean, well-ordered-Streets. The
stranger who is assailed with all Coleridge’s
thirty distinct odors of Cologne, as he passes
through our streets, goes away,*- disgusted as
he should be, and spreads such reports of
Philadelphia as are little calculated to attract
either visitors or business. The subject can
not be too frequently or urgently 'pressed
upon our municipal authorities, and under
the present intensely hot weather it becomes
of vital importance to do all that is possible
to secure reform in this particular.
The Democracy are carrying on this cam
paign in a polite and gentlemanly way. It
has afforded them infinite ’opportunity for
melancholy jesting that General Grant’s
baptismal name is Hiram Ulysses. Now
they are exercising their wit oyer the remark
able discoveiy that Mr. Colfax addresses his
mother by theJitle of “Ma.” These are the
most frightful crimes which the Democrats
can lay to the charge of the Republican can
didates. We can perhaps afford to forgive
such sins; but while we admit the wisdom of
the Democracy in dilating upon the wickedest
thing of which each candidate is guilty, we
must question the good taste of the allusion to
Mr. Colfax.
“The Life of Schuyler Colfax,” by Rey. A.
Y. Moore, has j ust been issued byT. B. Pe
terson & Brothers, in a handsome volume,
embellished with a first-rate portrait, en
graved on steel. It is altogether better than
most campaign biographies, and even with
out reference to Mr. Colfax’s present posi
tion before the American public, it ia a capi
tal book. Mr. Moore was Mr. jColfax’s pas
tor for a number of years, and' he has been
engaged on this biography fdf a long time.

Shocking Accident on the Fourth!
Old Mr. Punk was fixing his gun,
with a view to having it make some pa
triotic demonstrations of noise. He
pointed the weapon towards himself, and
Mrs. Punk somehow or other got the
idea that it might go off and hit him.
•So she,pleasantly remarked, in her
blandest tones: There, now, you old
fool, if you are going to shoot yourself
just make a clean shoot of it and don’t
mangle yourself for me to be bothered
with taking care of.
The unfortunate Punk's gun didn’t
happen to go off, and he didn’t get shot,
and Mre, Punk didn’t have the trouble
of nursing hie mangled remains; but he

When Connecticut was called, there arose a little
light between the chairman of that delega

latter charging the former with
misstating the vote. Both being irate and
being inclined to indict speeches, were called to

Tammasy Hall, July B —The Convention

' Sej mour in the chair. The hall was filled in every

No prayer was delivered, and the reading of

'' mittce, which was ordered. The names were
given as published in the morning papers for all
the States except New York and California.
Mr. Price, of Missouri, here-assumed the chair.
Mr. Bajard, of Delaware, said there was some
mistake about the name recorded for that State,
and asked that it be omitted. He was sure that
the name as published had not been agreed to by
a majority of the delegation.
California named John Bigler and New York
Angost Belmont. -
Mr. Fitch, of Indiana, rose to, present one of Its
most talented citizens as a candidate before thjs
Convention for Presidential nomination, ono of
the best and purest men of thp nation. Indiana
had thought it right to cast her vote for a reason
able length of time for Pendleton. In the opinion
of the majority of the delegation that reasonable
time had passed, though the minority were still
of Opinion that they onght to adhere further to
the gentleman from Ohio. The majority had no
disposition even if it had the power, to force
their voices upon the minority. In conclusion
he briefly eulogized and named Thomas A.
Hendricks.
Mr. Price, of Indiana, for the minority, urged
adherence to Pendleton, and expressed the
■ highest respect for Mr. Hendricks, but tho mino
rity eonld not go for him because the State Con
vention of their State declared decisively their
preference for Pendleton against the most earn
est and persistent opposition. In accordance
with that preference the. delegation resolved to
stand by Pendleton so long as there was a
reasonable hope for his nomination. f Oreat cheers
and some hisses. |
The roll was then called, find at each vote for
Pendleton' the galleries applanded voolferously.
.The same demonstration greeted Hendricks.
• Mississippi went for Pendleton on this ballot.
Tho vote of New York for Church. Daring the

A rumor has spread in the Hail that New York
will break on the next ballot, casting part if not
oil her vote for Hendricks. This is denied by
some, who say that while New York wl 1 leave
Church to-day unless ho- attracts support from
other States, they are not yet ready to drop him.
The excitement and anxiety are intense.
Mr. Tilden, of New York, asked leave for the
New York delegation to retire for consultation,
five members ortho delegation having asked it.
Objections were made, but the question; was
put to the Convention and decided In the affir

Quarter Sessions— Judge Peirce.—The whole
session was occupied with the trial of L. Gold
etine, charged with perjury. The prosecutor
brougbt suit against the defendant before Aider
man Hibberd on a promissory note, and the de
fendant himself was called as a witness, by the
prosecutor, who was the plaintiff in that case. It
was alleged that Goidstine falsely swore that
there was no consideration for the vote, and that
it was obtained by .force'and fraud.
The prosecutor, in support of the allegation
that this wfts false, called four witnesses who
were present at the time the note was given, and
they alleged that there was an account between
the parties,- and the note was given in settlement.
The defence set up that the defendant’s state
ment was true. On trial.
the Ilegiiuiinsr ol Harrisburg',
The Harrisburg Slate Guard says:
We referred a few days since,to the act that in
certain localities of the State, an effort was being
made for the collection of local history, for the
writing out of all facts connected with the origin,
progress and present condition ol ‘ townships,
counties, cities, wards, and boroughs. lii res
ponse toour suggestion that a work like this
should be performed for Harrisburg ondDaUphlni
county, a gentleman who takes a great interest
in such affairs,'sends ns the following as touch
ing the history of Harrisburg. It admits of no
particular comment, but is a very interesting link
in the chAin of our local records:
“The subscriber having laid out a Town on the
banks of the Susquehanna, adjoining the ferry
commonly called Harris's Ferry, he now offers
for sale, or on ground-rent, for such term of
years as may be agreed upon, a number of Lots
in said Town. This spot of ground seems de
signed by nature for the seat of a town; its
healthy, pleasant, high situation; its easy commu
nication by water with agreat part of the county;
its lying on the main Toad through the conti
nent, and from Philadelphia to Fort Pitt,
and all the lack country; points it out as one of
the most cofivenient and best Bpots for a town in
the interior parts of the State of Pennsylvania.
The town may be accommodated with a very fine
dock, at a small expense, there being a natural
canai,defended on both sides by limestone banks,,
at its entrance into the Snsquehanna, where
boats and craft will lay safe at all times. There
being a great deal of fine clay fot making bricks
and earthenware; also, a great plenty of wood,
which will be furnished on very low terms; en
couragement will be given to brick makers, pot
ters and other tradesmen. For terms apply to '

to have the galleries cleared brought forth several
vehement speakers, some of.whom are evidently

The galleries are in an unhealthy state of effer

the Convention who will not see the Independent
voters deprived of a chance to agitate.
Quiet is partially restored and the balloting

New York declares again for Hendricks, and is

A recess of half an hour follows, during which
the delegates drink and discuss.
Daring the recess Dan Vorhecß is called to the
stand to speak, but merely returns thanks for the
compliment amid cheers. t
Prominent Pennsylvanians here say that Pen
dleten’s chances will be very slim before the day
closes. His friends dreaa the opening of the
movement for Chase and are now in anxious con
sultation.
Hendricks’s adherents are sanguine.
The New York delegation has refused to con
sult with the Pennsylvania delegation, with ref
erence to a nominee whom both can support,
although both parties know that neither Hen
dricks nor Packer can carry the convention.
Hancock’s friends predict a wonderful change
in his favor, and some are sanguine as to his
success.
Pendleton cannot receive more than 150 votes

rFTom the N. Y. Herald, of to-day]
July 7.—The gold market has been very strong and ex
citedto-day, under the influence of tho proceedings of
the Democratic Convention respecting the fiaance*.
tho platform being in favor of the equal taxation of all
property, Including' United States bonds, and the pay
ment in lawful money of the principal of the latter
wherethe authorizing act does not exprewly provido
for their redemption in coin. The opening transactions
were at 140%, following which there were sales
at 140#, from which point .there was a steady
advance to 141, and tho dosing transactions prior
to the adjournment of the board were at 140%.
Following this the latest price on the street
was 140%. There was a moderately active borrowing ae
maud lor coin, and loans were made without interest to
either borrower or lender and at 3 a 6 per cent for carry
ing The gross clearings amounted to $31,211,000, tho gold
balances to $1.790 666, and the currency balances to
$2,448,467- The steamer Cimbria took out $BOOOOO in
specie. Mexican dollars are quoted at 104#a1u4% in
gold. It is expected that tho shipment of specie to-mor
row will au eunt to about sfso,i)oo. Tho Bub-Treasury
dbbimed $700,000 during tho day in coin in payment of
interest on tho public debt, and converted $518900 of
seven thirty notes into five-twenties. ‘ ....
The market for uovemment securities was dull and
steady during the forenoon, but when it became known
that toe Democratic Convention had adopted resolutions
in favor of taxing the interest on thorn and paying thd
principal in greenbacks where not otherwiso specified a 1
strong pressure to sell set in and prices declined ,?*@l nor
cent, for the l&teri sues of tlve-twentioe, although the ten
forties and the old five-twenties fremained comparatively
firm.. Lata in the afternoon, however, the market became
steady under an abatement of the pressure to sell and a
moderate demand frsm the dealers. '
The supply of money was abundant at four per cent, on
call, but in some instances transactions were reported at
five. The mercantile demand cootinuea very light, aod
the best grace of commercial paper is in request at 6<®B
percent. The stock market was on the whole firm* al
though at intervals somewhat variable and irregular.
