In the midst of intolerable heat, with turbulence and noise, with very much whisky, with plotting and counter-plotting, with jealousy., and heart-burning, with threats, and quarrels and all manner of disorder, the “unterrifled’’ have toiled forward day after day, seeking ■for the best victim for the Presidential cam paign. The Convention yesterday reached a point of self-disgust where it confessed it ;self past praying for, and that decent ob servance in all large public bodies in this country was dispensed with ns no longer suitable iu such a scene. If the reports are .true that the prayer of the Rev. Dr. Morgan, at the opening of the Conven tion, was hailed with loud cries of “Bully “Good for you!” &c., &c., the good taste of ; the managers in abandoning all appearance of external decorum is to be commended. The battle of the Democratic factions has been a hot one indeed. The only determined combination in the Convention has been that 1 ofthe friends of Pendleton, against the field. The Western Democracy, with reckless ad herence to their true principles, stuck manfully to their pet candidate, while the rest of the Convention, with no hearty preference for anybody, swung around the circle of availabilities, from Church to Hen dricks, from Packer to Hancock, from Andrew Johnson to Franklin Pierce, from Parker down to Blair and McClellan ! The Pendletonians deserve credit for their con sistency. They know that their man is nearer the Democratic platform than any other, and BO; they have bravely urged him from the galleries and from the fl lor of the Conven tion, until. their solid front has at last been broken by a clever diver sion in the form of a feint for Hancock. Careless observers were surprised to see Penn sylvania dropping JPaokeron the 1 5 th ballot, and imagined that te question was settled for a military candi- date. But they forgot the hearty hatred that the Democracy, entertains toward the American soldier, and especially toward a man who was in any way connected with the execution of the assassins of Abraham Lincoln. Hancock was merely thrown forward to break Pendle ton’s front, and this being done Hancock goes to the rear. Amid all this hubbub and disorder, Chase is held in reserve. With a generalship of the highest order, —and be it remembered that Mr. Chase is a “regular” in the art and sci- ence of political tactics, —the name of th e Chief-Justice has been steadily withheld. Yesterday an enthusiastic Californian broke cover and was received with a howl of cheers from the galleries, where the Chase managers have managed to keep their corps of clacgueurs masked until the movement of the grand cotip should arrive. The half vote that was . thus prematurely cast was promptly suppressed at the next ballot, as Chase was not to be used to break Pendle- ton’s array, but only to come in after it should 1 be made to appear that nobody else could be nominated. And so, after a hard and hot day’s work, the exhausted, coatless, Collarless,cravatleßS Convention collapsed and adjonmed, apparently no nearer the accom plishment of their work than when they met. The summing up of the day showed the fol lowing result: Killed—Church, Packer, Eng- lishjßlair,Pierce and McClellan. Wounded— Pendleton, seriously; Johnson, mortally; Par ker, mortally; Doolittle, slightly. Missing— Chase, Charles F. Adams, Seymour, Reverdy Johnson and Ewing. . It now matters little who is nominated. The Convention has fully demonstrated that the Democracy has no real leader, and no honest choice for the Presidency. Its dis - cordant factions have snarled and tugged over the coveted bone of contention, aßd the nom inee will now simply be a compromise one, over whom the Convention will express the most unbounded delight and content, but / with'Whom one half of the party will be tho roughly dissatisfied. Mr. Chase has worked hard for the nomi - nation. Thoroughly demoralized by his overweening ambition,, he has besieged the doors of the Democracy with concessions, . promises and pledges. He telegraphs to New . York that be is willing to adopt the repudia tion platform, to swallow every form of De mocratic dirt, to ignore all his pa record, to v* forswear every principle he has maintained, £' to crawl in the veiy dust of abasement, if so 'f fce he may receive the empty honcr of a rebel and copperhead nomination to an office which will never be his. It is not pleasant to Americans who have '-'■a pride in their public men to see them thus degraded; but the leveling processes of the . war have rooted out much of our old hero . worship, and when men now topple them selves down from the pinnacles of the temple of State, there are no strong wings of popular reverence for them to hold them up. The people witness the suicide and are perhaps f-v amazed at it; but they treat it as suicides used to be treated in olden time, and the victim of avarice or ambition dashing himself to pieces in bis mad folly, is allowed to sleep in uneon secrated ground, and is soon forgotten. IHE DEMpCCTATHC TWINS. ' Just at the time that two well known pei • eonages, Chang and Eng byname, are con - tern plating a severance of the tie that has kept , them closely bound together for very many years, two other well known gentle- men, o Vaux and Byerly by name,' have formed a scarcely lessmtimate than that ,which exists in the case «f ; the. Siameso firm just referred to. Democracy is the ligament, which; binds together these ‘'two.willing hearts like to a dfmble cherry,” and it seems to have as much'cohesive power, as is possessed, by the' mysterious tie which for almost sixtyytSars has bound to-, getber the Siamese brothers' and puzzled the medical faculty. The imagination can run riot in guesses as to what wouid bo the effect if this new partnership should prove per manent and if Mr. William Byerly should "find it as hard to shake off “Old Man' Vaux” as Sinbad, the Sailor,found it difficult to get rid of tne “Old Man of-the Sea.” Sap pose that like Chang and Eng,or Sinbad and bis ancient tormentor, Richard and William should have to walk in the same paths for evermore, and follow the same pursuits, whether the tastes of the followers be con genial or diverse. Judging of the future by the past what an experience they would have! Imagine a court ball and etiquette demanding that the O'Vaux should dance with royalty. The names of Richard and Victoria have a Plantagenet and Gaelphic sound that becomes the mouth well, and the two personages would eminently “grace a galliard;” but when “Bill Byerly” Would come upon the floor sb the double of the hirsute Richard, there would be amazement and consternation among lords and nobles. As in the case of their Siamese prototypes ■ there would probably be differences of ap petite which would breed vexation of spirit in both Richard and his double. Suppose that when one would want to take “whisky straight” at O’Flaherty’s Fourth Ward Demo cratic Headquarters, the other would insist upon indulging in “gold seal” at more aristo cractic quarters, where the selecter portion of the Democracy take their ease in their club. There would be a pulling in opposite directions, but judging from what it has al ready borne.-within the experience of the same persofißT the Democratic bond of unity would be sufficient to stand the tug. Besides sumptuary differences there might be social considerations that would cause distress be tween the twins of Democracy. Where one would incline to attend at a “rat-worry,” or a prize-fight, the other might desire to flaunt his ambrosial locks m a West-end saloon;? If one should chance to make a Blip of the pen in, the. wrong placei and the law should decree that he had made a fraudulent election return, it would be' awkward for his companion to be compelled to spend weary hours in a prison cell just at the time when he was most needed to pen a report for the Girard College or the Eastern Penitentiary. And, most, awkward of all, suppose either “Bill” or the “Old Man" were to become the chief magistrate of the city, how would the twain manage to divide their time and their attention between Fifth and Chestnut and Seventh and Sansom streets. These anticipations may never be realized literally; figuratively they have much mean ing. An intimate association so publicly assumed and exhibited must have its moral and social effects, and if Mr. William Byerly expects to escape from the taint of bad speeches, fearfully and wonderfully made college and prison reports and rigmarole gen erally, he will find himself as much mistaken as Mr. Vaux or any other man will be mis taken who fancies he can touch pitch and not be defiled. /-> UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. We mentioned, recently, the serious loss which the University had sustained by the re signation of its Provost, the Rev. Dr. Good win. who still remains amongst us (we are happy to say; as a Professor in the Episcopal Divinity School in West Philadelphia. The attention of the Board was immediately and spontaneously direeted towards Charles J. Siille (for the last two years Professor of His tory aod English Literature) as Dr. Good win's successor. The present prosperous con dition of the University was felt to be owing to the enlarged and improved system of in struction introduced last year; and, as the great improvement was made at the sugges tion of Prof. Stille, it was ODviorfs that to no one else could the work of carrying it on and securing its permanent success, be so justly and so wisely entrusted. Professor Stille was. therefore, promptly nominated, and, at the earliest moment (the staled meeting held on the 7th instant), was unanimously elected Provost of the University. Those who know—as who does not 't— the traits of character exhibited by Mr. Provost Stille as a member of the U. 8. Sanitary Commission —his steady enthu siasm, his self-abnegation, his intelligent ac tivity—with those who have had occasion to learn what, with such traits of character ennobling the largest acquisitions in history and literature, he has been as a professor will unite with the faculty and students in congratulating the Trustees on the wisdom of their choice. As the new Provost prefers to retain his old professorship, the Trustees have filled the chair of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy by the equally prompt and wise choice of the, Rev. Charles P. Krauth, D. D., who, Resides his special competence in this department, stands in the very first class of our biblical, oriental and literary scholars Still further,to relieve Provost Stille,and at the Bame time to enlarge the already enlarged means of instruction, the Trustees (it is un derstood) have attached to the Faculty the eminent English Philologist, Hiram Corson, Esq., so well known and highly esteemed in our literary circles, now Professor in St- John’s College, Annapolis, and have given him in charge the department of Elocation | and of English Composition. Those who listened to the powerful Master’s oration of j the Rev. Robert E. Thompson, at the late j Commencement, will be gratified to learn ' that this moat promising young scholar is to ■ be one of the junior members of the now ; numerous Faculty. We are happy to add j that the Trustees have paid Mr. Charles I Bf rault the well-merited compliment of re ■ taining him at the head of the French depart -1 went, with Bpecial marks of their approbation, j The public must allow that the Trustees have thus done a good day’s work, and that they have placed the University in a position to do I all that any Institution can for the highest and widest education. &,h\ x v,;.:-7 : :' 7 .7'x:7:- -a 77U.7777 THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-“PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY; JULY 9,1868; Wo arc in receipt of indignant commu nications from stockholders of the Philadel phia Library, who are also members of-tho “Can’t-gct-away Club,”, on the subject of closing the Library for the purpose of house cleaning. It is stated that this most neces sary operatiqn in all well-ordered establish ments is made to extend from the Bth to the 3lst of that, meantime, a famine prevails in the literary circles which derive thei' pabulum from that venerable source. We are not seriously interested in this ques tion, in any personal way, and should scarcely have known that the Library had not been closed all summer, if we had not been very vigorously reminded of its condition. Wo can only recommend the indignant C.-G.- A’s to heep cool, to subscribe temporarily to the Mercantile library, and to indulge the hope that the “Philadelphia" will re-open on the Ist prox. with its venerable - alcoves and other coves in such a state of immaculate cleanliness as may reasonably he expected after three weeks of hard scrubbing and dili gent dusting. • Despite repeSted and satisfactory explana tions, the Copperhead press continues to harp upon General Grant's order excluding Israel ites from his lines, and to endeavor to excite he whole of this powerful class of our citi zens against the Republican candidate. We do not fear that they will succeed in the case of intelligent men. General Grant did his duty, and nothing more. He ascertained that certain men were trafficking between the two armies, and doing infinite damage to the Union cause. These men happened to be Jews, and he said so - plainly in his order. They might have been English men, Chinese, Russians, Negroes, Es quimaux, Choctaw Indians, or native Americans, and the order would have so Specified it. But they were none of these; they were Israelites, and the order was aimed at individuals, not at the class. There might have been one man, and his name might have been Smith, but because General Grant chose to forbid Smith to come into his lines, it would have been absurd for ail" the Smiths in the country to have hated him. It would be this particular Smith that he pum ished ; not because he was a Smith but be cause he was a reckless man, who did very dangerous things. And so it was these particu lar Jews that were s prohibited, because they were endaDgering-the lives of our soldiers, and the success of our cause, rather than be cause they belonged to the House of Israel. All this was as clear as sunlight before to unprejudiced men. But persistent misrepre sentation sometimes requires reiterated ex planation. We do not believe that any intel ligent Israelites will regard this wretched at tempt of the Copperheads to appeal to their class instincts and prejudices with anything but contempt. We do not see how any who have proper self-respect can do otherwise. It is equivalent to saying, “No matter how much you may admire this man’s genius, or honor and reverence the principles upon which he comeß before the country, we wish you to vote him down be cause once he interfered with men of your race.” Honest Israelites understand that there are rascals of their denomination as there are of all others. The descendants of Abraham are not regarded by themselves as any less sinful than other people. And we can tell Democratic Jews that the Republican party is the great supporter, defender,and advocate of those principles of universal equality which give to their nationality that perfect freedom from oppression and outrageous persecution which afflict them in other landß, while the Democratic party is the conservator of that narrow-minded bigotry which has always drawn' lineß of class and race, and which has arrays made victims of Jews when it dared do so. A portrait of the late well-known senior of the firm of Drexel & Co.—Mr. F. M. Drexel—is now at Messrs. Earle & Sons’ galleries for a few days, previous to being placed In the banking house of the sons in Third street. It is full-length, life- Eize, and is a remarkable likeness, easy and un constrained in position, and admirable in its de tails and accessories. It is the wont of Mr. J. Bergenthal, of Dusseldorf, now settled In this city. It is quite unliko the portraits of our old established artists here, and its arrival here will be a matter for congratulation.

There is no proba bility of any further advance in the rate of Interest for some weeketo come, and although it may be put up to seven per cent in October, tho indica tions are against any monetary stringency so long as the government remains ont of the market as a borrower and currency contracted is stopped. Tho stock market remain* firm, and tbp;speculative temper of the street favors high prices. The reports relative to the growing erbtafrom all sections of the couotrv are Very encouraging; and the bulls argue from these that the already large earnings of railways Will be considera bly further increased in consequence of the heavy de mand for grain‘transportation after the next harvest; and this expectation is not likely to bo disappointed.

The resolutions embodied In the latter in roUtion to the finances are open to severe criticism, and ttaev fail to carry sny weight with tnem, while they are without grasp of tbe subject and verso on puerility. Tho infer . ence. therefore, is that the Convention Is Ignorant of the finarcial question, and wbaf it tme of this part of tho platform applies more or less to the wholo of it A Londr-n circular <f the 27th fit. says the unusual spec tacle is presetted of the Bank of Prance having a larger amount of coin and bullion in its possea-ion than the in circulation. Not -only are tbore sums enormously greater than anything tho Bank of England has to show, but they are retxarkable as having be*n reached without any of tho*e restrictions .and limi tations which are Imposed ,by the Eng lish system. The Bank is al«o nearing an equality in the auount of bullion "ith the notes In circulation. The latter amount to £23.167,000, and the fnrxntr (inclusive of the coin in tho banking- department) to £22-962 f-00. in the t«o great banking e<tahU-limcnta a eum of £7l .OOO.OOU in gold and silver coin and bare is now stored, n collection of the precious metals such as has never hitherto been deemed possible. What tho result may be upon monetary and commercial affairs it would be difficult'to forecast. As such an equality of the metallic basis with its representative notes*m cir eolation is not at ail necessary for perfect security, tho natural result would be a gradual expansion of the cur rency fu bo b countries, and tins a powerful stimulus would be giv- nto speculative activity.
