We have the pleasure of assuring our Republican readers that the difficulty in regard to the nomination for District-Attor ney of this city is on the point of complete ■settlement William B. Mann, 1 Esq-, has ■determined to decline being a candidate, and has written a letter on the subject which will, lin due time, be made public. The Republicaa Executive-Committee will immediately call the Convention together again, when a candi date will be nominated upon whom the whole ■party 'will unite ‘harmoniously. Mr. Mann haß behaved in a handsome manner in this business, and is entitled to the thanks of all Republicans. With this difficulty removed, the party in Philadelphia can go on earnestly and enthusiastically in behalf ■of their whole ticket, which iB, probably, about as good a ticket as has ever been pre sented for the suffrages of any party. Let it be remembered that every vote for the City and State tickets in October will tell in behalt of ■Grant and Colfax, and against Seymour, -Blair and repudiation, in. November. Tnis being considered, the Republicans have all the more reason to be gratified at the re moval of this odo local difficulty, which might have lost us some votes in October. TELEGRAPHING FUR THE CHI* NESE. ''"The people of the United States are cer tainly exercising an influence in China and Japan superior to that of any of the European powers. Bat there will still be many wh > will be surprised to learn that a company of Americans has been formed for the construc tion of a telegraphic system connecting all the principal ports of China, and 'that it is about to proceed energetically in its work if It is called “The East India Telegraph Com ' pany,” and its executive office is at Nos. 23 and 25 Nassau Btreet. New York. The prin cipal capitalists are New York and Boston men, but they have selected ex-Governor Andrew G.> Curtin, of Pennsylvania, a 9 their President The East India Telegraph Company will act under permission granted by the Chinese -Government, through Mr. Burlingame, to connect all the chief seaports, from Canton to Tientsin, the port of Pekin, by submarine -cables. It is proposed to construct the first Whhe at once. There aro ten of these seaports, with a total population of nearly six millions, and the wire cables will average about too .miles’in length each. When these are com .pleted, the,, lines will be extended to Pekio -and elsewhere in thp interior. The Chinese are essentially a mercantile people, and they have a full appreciation of the telegraph, its use and. its value, in mercantile transactions. The forelgn commerce alone of the ports to be connected by cables is valued at $900,- 000,000 a year, and the internal trade is. very much greater." The “East India Telegraph Company ” haß a splendid prospect before it, and it is fortunate for this country that it is ■*» composed of Americans. Messrs. Drexel .& Co., of this city, are authorized to give further information concerning it, and to re ceive subscriptions to the stock. THE FLEW ffIAGOALEN. Sir Robert Napier, re turned to London on the 2d, canonized with his title. Some one of the captive miesiona ies, enamored of its biblical air, must have originally suggested this hierophantic designation, which souuds a little arbitrary,having never surely been con ferred on the chastiser of Abyssinia “bjeaus: he loved muoh.” Rut Sir Robert, bending meekly from the constellation in which he has been set, exhibits himself to the pious burghers of London with the relies of his triumph or ecstacy, —a handful of molasßes colored captives, including the baby-son of Theodore, in plaoe of the seven devils which surround the original Magdalen in ancient illuminations. Meanwhile the estates from which he draws his designation are a waste of smouldering char coal, more like the burnt cpt pile of a martyr than the territorial pos sessions among which a British peer may hug iimaelf aud cast the seeds of family dignities to come. • And the nations are lifting their voice to ’ celebrate the miracles of the new Saint. Es pecially France, delighted to have a fling at the government for its disasters in Mexico, ,:iuas been extolling to the very skies the un exampled energy, decision, and completeness of Sir Robert’s Abyssinian success. Never was conquest, they say, so radiant, so Anal, 30 -v. . epic. The new Joshua, after building “a bridge ” over 400 miles of country with the stones of some mystical Jordan, leveled the . stronghold of Magdala with the first to.otings of his trumpets, more like the legendary warrior of some ballad than like an obvious modem fighting saint in lobster'uniform. Yet were not the sainted Magdalen’s suc cesses pretty carefully and pretty, tediously ■ prepared ? Have we not had from that de vout calender, the London Times , the price ,-• of every, mule and the biography of every ele - v phant ? Were not the mountain gun and the pack-saddle debated noisily for months before ■i~- '<*’• hand, as if it were the secret of modern mili tary tactics to discuss every proposed blow in the ear of the world ? And the French them selves, who, in a few days, Without advertise ment, threw upon Mentana a much larger . force than the Abyssinian expedition,how can they praise except ironically a mode of brag ging and beginning, of blowing and attack ing, which, incase it should ever be directed pgninat.themselves, they would find to fight half their own battle ? And we in America, who improvise our artillery and invent a navy in the very hurry and agony of battle, with what expression shall we listen to these con gratulations upon the featoE a “soldier-lad who spends a million dollars upon his ammu nition and bringß down a dead darkey from the rocks ? , The, sainted M igdalen, however, is natu rally not ambitious of a purely warlike repu tation. Albeit canonized from the ranks of the church militant, his observances must be spiced with a little of tho incense from the •orthodox faith, or lubricated with some of the Bpikenard from the ecclesiastical vase, to commend themselves to the firmament to ■ which he has attained. As a simple general and baronet, Sir Robert values himself not a whit; as acrusader, the censer may be swung UDder his nose with a certain propriety. His army, he declares, has proved itself worthy of St. Jean d’Acre and Jerusalem. When the resident Britishers in Paris, on the first of the month, presented their homage to the homeward-bound warrior, the knight, in “a quiet, soldier-like speech,” modestly declined any praise that was not borrowed from the hymn-literature with which troubadours used to celebrate the expeditions of Ccenr-de lion. “Every man la my troops did his ■work well,” said the fighting saint, by no means excluding himself, “and I can only ■compare the spirit which existed through the army to that which animated the cruaaders.-”- ■Queen Victoria, who unites the authority of Chuich and State much as the Papacy did in limes of yore, must be puzzled with this super-Boldteriy temper, in which we cannot but detect a trace of petulance. In pressing upon her hero the style and title of Magdala, and promising that wherever the name of Napier is mentioned this thing of conquering ■a deceased chief shall be told of him, she meant to do kindly and well. What new re source can she devise when the spoiled Saint, tearing the crown from the yellow locks of the Magdalen, declares that he will not have <his canonization unless he can be Saint Louis of France, Saint Godfrey of Bouillon, or some calendered crusader or other, besides? It is a popular belief that the E nperor Na poleon 1b perpetrating a piece of reckless ex travagance in the wholesale improvement which has been in progress in Paris for sev eral years past. But it is beginning to be ■discovered that with the ÜBual shrewdness of ibe extraordinary man who is at the head of ihe French government, the making of these va6t improvements is not only not a piece of < xtravagance but a sharp business operation. We bear accounts of valuable properties be ing demolished in order to carry out the plaus of Baron H aussmann, and of the large sums of money that are paid to the owners in the way of damages. Bat while these exceptional instances cause a heavy drain upon the public purse, there are large districts where elegant avenues have taken the place of squalid streets, and miserable tenements have .given way to splendid buildings. It is pro bable that the enhancement in the value of property will fully compensate for the heavy outlay, and that the improvements, viewed simply as a business operation, pay directly. But there are' other considerations which govern the prime mover in these wide-spread changes. Whatever tends to make Paris more splendid makes it more attractive to strangers, and adds just so much to the public pros perity. It is also shrewdly suspected that the improvements have been made with an eye to possible revolutions, and it is diseov ered that the arrangement of the new streets is one that will best enable tne govern ment to move troops rapidly from point to point. During the ■ revolution that cost Louis XVI. his head, and again in 1830 and 1848, the revolutionists proved themselves adepts in the art of taking advan tage of the facilities which the government had provided lor its own safety. Short cats to the Tuileries can be used by a mob as well as by regular troops,and Napoleon IV. may have occasion to test practically the engineering skill of his Imperial father. In the improve ment of Paris Napoleon has proved himself to be a good business man. How the military feature of the enterprise will work in an emer gency remains to be tested The New Yoik Times considers the elec tion of Grant and Colfax as certain as if it had already been officially promulgated. It gees on to argue that the Republican party can afford to be generous to its foes and it urges that above all there should be no de nunciation of Southern men on sections* grounds, or as men who once embarked upon the lost cause of rebellion. “Let us,” it says,' “bury old issues, and consider only those which now absorb the attention of the whole people as a unit. ” In another column of the same issue of the 1 imes there appears au editorial which says that at a ratification meeting held at Richmond Gjv. Vance, Gen. Wise, and omer leading* Confederates were the speakers. Vance declared that “whal he Confederacy fought for would be won by the election of Seymour and Blair." Wise, while supporting the nominations, de nounced as a falsehood the first Tammany resolution which alleged secession to be dead, and he declared that it was more alive than tver. He especially supported Blair because he had promised revolution. It seems hard for the Republican party to bury old issues when they are so persistently kept alive both North and South. The -Democra'ic platform and the Blair- Broudbead 1 :tter very clearly justify Governor Vance’s remark, and Governor Wise only told the truth when he saiiShat the spirit'of secession is as lively as ever. For Republi cans to take part "in the present campaign without taking issue with the secession prin ciple would be as difficult as to argne the ease of Hamlet vs. Claudius without referring to the “Royal Dane.” The fact is, the Demo cratic party has clearly and unequivocally pui itself upon the rebel platform.; Both the Northern and the Southern wings of the party are outspoken in their revival of toe treason of 1801, and treason can only be discussed by allowing a margin for plain talk respecting traitors. ' _ ' The phrase “Carpet-bagger” is a pet term of opprobrium which is applied to Northern men who are sojourners at the South, either in pursuit of their own private business, or upon government affairs. Those who scoff at them were ■ as bitterly hostile to other v'eitors to Dixie, who went there at various THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 16,1868, times between Aprils 1861, and the fourth month of 1865, and who by the same token might hare been'called - -“knapsackers”—lf the people of the South chose to hold to a Japanese policy of exclusiveness, and dis courage visitors from abroad, it is their own affair, and they will be the heaviest losers by it As to “carpet bagging” in the political sense, the South suffers a good deal less from its operation than we in the North suffer from it. In New York the Car pet-baggers not only pile up majorities ot fifty or sixty thousand, but they govern the metropolis to its undoing. The Gothamite Carpet-baggers fill the public offices from among themselves with men who cannot speak understandable English, and only know too welfthe art of stealing; they send prize-fighters to Congress, and they make of the city government a by-word and reproach among men. In our own Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventeenth Wards, and in some portions of the interior of the State, Carpet baggers from across the Beas “rule the roast,” and they rale it to such good purpose that they bring together “cheek by jole” scions of ancient and respectable, families and dog fighters, pickpockets and blacklegs. The Carpet-baggers at the South are aU intelligent and reasonably decent men. Those at the North are what a well-known citizen of Phil adelphia would describe as “well enough in their sphere, but not among the most respect able members of society." We would very willingly make an exchange of Carpet-bag gers with the agonized South. The striking miners in Schuylkill oouhty .yesterday marched into Pottsville and com pelled the hands in the iron furnaces in and about that city to desist from work and join in the eight-hour movement. There is no tyranny more absolute and odious than that of the combinations of workmen throughout the country. Not content with enjoying the largest share of liberty in respect .to the man agement of their own affairs, they interfere with the business of their employers, and use force in order to compel non-striking work men to join in their movements. Toe eight hour law of the State is really a meaningless enactment, and it was so intended to be by the legislators who voted tor it But they will now see that its effect has been to breed mischief. The public interests would be better served if legislators would discard the tricks of the demagogue in toto. July, 1808, will deserve to be remembered 88 the Hot July. Every day since the month began the mercury has been above 90 de grees, ]oo on several daya The intense heat has not been confined to one section, but has exteflded all over New Eng land, the Middle ana)Westem States and the British provinces. The middle of the month has been reached, and it is to be hoped that there will be some relief during the next fortnight. —, BTECK & CO.’B,AND HAINES BROTHERS’ WW Piano*»aad Mason A Hamlin'a Cabinet Organs, only at J.

The mor tality Is now reduced to seven per day. The principal victim to tho epidemic since our last review is this Belgian engineer, Mr. Alexander de Mahieu, who distinguished himself daring the late revolution In Peru, by transporting a 300 pound Blakely gun, Intended to be used at the siege of Arcqnlpa, sixty miles from the coast, to wards tho beleagured city, through a section of country the most broken and barren in the republic. Fcotb of a revolution in the capital are still entertained, &Dd many persons have been placed under arrest. The National thinks although a great deal of discontent exists against the present Government, there is no danger of a revolution breaking out, os the existing Govern ment has bnt a short time to remain In office, when the recently elected Executive, Col. Bait's, will take charge. Congress is to be opened on the 28th of this month (July), and. already the Deputies and Senators ore arriving in the capital. It is stated that tho representation of more than two-thirds of tho provinces is disputed by double candidates. Congress will have to decide which are the legiti mate representatives. Oblle. The debate on the Reform bill was opened on tbo 9th alt., In the House of Deputies by Senator Lastarrla. On the 12th nit. the Senate rejected the modifications introduced by the House of Deputies into the abolition of imprisonment for debt bill, and in consequence it will have to ba returned to the lower house, where, if the modi fications should be approved by a majority of two-thirds of the members present, it will be sent np to the Senate again, where it can only be thrown ont by a majority of two-thirds of tho members present. It is believed the Hoase of Deputies will adhere to its original voto. and also that a strong effort will be made to carry the amendments through the Senate. Daring the debate of the Army and Nav.v bill in the Senate on the 10th alt., the Minister of War informed the House that, agreeably to the stipu lations of the London agreement, the Govern ment was at liberty to purchase in England war like material to the omonnt of $2 000,000,and that in consequence instructions had been given to the Minister of the Repnblic in England to contract for the construction of a monitor. The French ship Etolle dc la Mer, that sailed from Havre on the 7th of April, brings 40 ew«s and rams of the celebrated Rambonillet and Ne gretti breeds, purchased by the Consul General of the Repnblic at Paris, from the Imperial farm at Rambonillet, and destined for the Normal School of Agriculture in Santiago.

POLITICAL Doolittle an<Ua Third Party. Washington, July 16.—The effort tci organize a third party by the conservative Republicans dissatisfied with the nominees of the New York Convention, is not destined to meet with en couragement from leading gentlemen of that class who have ably sustained. President Johnson in'his strife against Radicalism, In substantia tion of' this assumption a letter will- appear on Friday, from.Benator Doolittle, .in response to O. B. Ostrander and forty-eight conserva tive Republicans, of Danville, Pa., who ex press a , “sense of disappointment and re-' grot that np hotter names had been offered by the Democratic party to lead the conservative nnd patriotic masses of the people to victory , and. the Radical Republican party to merited: defeial.” nnd confidence that victory would have been cer tain had Senator Doolittle’s name been placed at the head of the ticket. The Senator’s reply Is bold and emphatic against the organization of a third party, which he does not regard as - wise or calculated to work any practical good to Uni can Se. He states, la detail, charges: of wrong “And outrage’.committed by tU» Radical party, refers to Ihd'Tnipeirctrfhent of thi President and the effort, even by threats of assas sination, to force tho Senate to couvict hint in order to place in the. executive chair one wao , for Rotterdam. .

Herald of to-day-1 Jui.Tls.—lt is a matter of public notoriety that tho Treasury Department under Mr McCalloch bee. from the bogSuniDg of bis administration, contributed largely to foster the speculative element in the Gold Room by its pe culiar method of dealing with its surplus coin. Instead of supplying tb« wants of the mercantile community for the payment of customs duties by public sales of its 'eurplns Sold it has fed tho market sect etly through brokers, who btq been paid an eighth of one per cent, commission for performing the business which tho department should have done for it*elf through its officials in this city. The aggregate amount of these commissions is enor mous.and never was the public money more extravagantly srenttbanin the sums which were paid to Messrs. P. U. My ere & Co., and McGinnis Bros. & Smith, the Govern ment broken. We perceive that by the new Funding bill which pftfpfd the Senate yesterday, the Treasury is „ prohibited from paying commissions for the sale of gold, but this step-towards reform comes rather late in too day, and it is doubtful whether the bill, in question will be come a law. A special act should, .therefore, be passed compelling the Treason to sell its own gold through its own officials, free of all expense, except that attending tivios notice to the public of the sales fa question. Gold as been twice below 128 sine* the termina tion of the war, and yet it has to-day sold at 142 X, so that ft cannot bo said the Treasury has done anything to appreciate the value of the currency during the intervcnlug years, notwith standing all the resources at its command. The case was very different in England during and after the Napoleonic wore, where ruch an organization as the G»Jd Room would not h»ve been allowed an existence. Here is an incubus on honest industry, and we therefore call upon Congress to pass a heavy tax upon a'i sales of gold not in tended for the payment of customs duties, and If tho tax is fixed at fifty dollars on ev> rv ten thousand dollars in gold it will not bo too high. Tho gold speculators aro the most ueeleea ol *ll the non-producing ; classes, and as their business Is opposed to the iaterests ot the people, bv disturbing tho natural course of the pre mium, the more heavily it is taxed limit* iu which the tax can be collected the better. The erratic policy of Congress in dealing with the finances has been product-v« of a ereat deal of harm by weake tng confi dence in thevalnd o f our securities, both at home and abroad, and this h«s given the gold speculators a lever to work wi’h of which the? have made the beet possible use. If-'we contract the financial hie lory* of England after tho battle 'f Waterloo with that of onr own country after the capture of Rich mond we find the comparison the reverse of flattering to Congress and the Treasury Dep«rtment No wonder that a few foreign bankers ana others are enabled to control the gole premium to a great extent when th*government policyis stith as it has been since the suspension of specie payments; but the time has ebrae when the public credit should stand high, and gold should decline. The first duty of Congress now is to tax the opera tions of the speculators heavily, and this would at l*a«t have the good effect of increasing the public revemie. The announcement made in the senate on the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, that after meeting immediate demands tbe amount of coin ae tunlly owned by the Government would only be about thirty-seven millions, strengthened tbe market for gold to day, and tho fluctuations wen from 14U& to 14226 wit h tbe closing transactions prior to the adjouramei t at 142%. following which the bids were If- P«r cent below thl« price.

Camp, wboTOlled CoTonelAshby ,'ls a lawyer from tbe North, who has made his residence, since the war. In that place. Some-time ago a tournament took place in Knox connty, in which all classes of citizens, without regard to party feeling and associations, were Invited to participate. It was tbe wish of the manager that nothing should occur to offend any one. But it is impossible on snch occasions to restrain the thoughtless and silly, who rtgard ho rales, bnt who are governed by their own nupnlses. Whilst tbe tonraament was in progress hurrahs for Jeff. Davis were made by persons of this Btamp. This, of course, of fended Union meD, who were not disposed to make allowance for foolish manifestations of this kind. Some of them, Mr. Camp amongst the number, were so indignant, they pronounced the tonraament a “rebel affair.” Col. Ashby hearing of this, called upon Mr. Camp, at his offlea, and asked him whether he hod made the remark at .tnbnted to him. Mr. Camp's. answer hot being satisfactory, Col. Ashby denounced him- as a scoundrel. Mr. Camp did not resent this affront at the time, probably because he was not pre pared for a personal conflict, and Col. Ashby loft bis office. After this no good state of feeliDg could exist between the parties. On Thursday last, as we learn from the’Knoxville Press and Herald, they met on the street, and— “ Colonel Ashby slapped his jaws, accompany ing the operation with a remark explanatory thereof, and also striking him- with a whalebone, wblch be bad in his right hand. The assailed struck with a closed umbrella, which he was car rying at the time. The parties engaged, and be fore any particular damage was done Sheriff Bearden, who happened to bo near, interfered and, with the aid of bystanders, the partioß were separated.” The next day at'6 F. M., the parties melon Main street and another enconnter took place, resnliing,-«s< stated in onr despatch yesterday, in the death of Colonel Ashby. The particulars of this last difficulty have not yet reached ns— Nashville Banner, July 13. CITY BULLETIN. strike at the city gas-works. Tbe City in Danger of Total Dark- Tbe firemen employed at the City Gas-Works receive bnt two dollars a day for twelve hours labor. They have made frequent applications to the Trustees for an increase of pay, but their de mands have been unheeded. Last night at nine o’clock they Btrnck, in a body, for an advance of twenty-five per cent. The strike still continues, aDd unless some arrangement is made by which operations at the works can be resumed, the city will be left in darkness. It is believed that the stock on hand will not last beyond midnight to-night, so the late readers of the Bulletin had better lay In a supply of can dles. We do not understand all the pros and cons of the strike and the grievances which lead to it, and are therefore not competent to discuss it; bnt two dollars'for twelve hours hard labor seem like a very poor compensation, and ths Trustees sbonid pay better prices. Iu the mean time the gas-less citizens will exclaim; “A plagufi of both your Rouses; let ns have light!” In another column will be found an advertise ment for s<lo bands, to take the place of the strik ing operatives. There Is al°o a card from the trustees nrging upon citizens economy in the consumption ot gas, and„glvlng some particulars concerning the strike. From this card it would appear that the striking workmen have resorted to the reprehensible practice of interfering with those who ore disposed to continue at work. Since tbe above was written tbe committee have waited on us to say that they are opposed to any violence to prevent men from engaging, and it was resolved by the whole body of men last evening, that they would in no way Interfere with men going to work.
