There is an amazin& impudence about the tone of the men who, taking courage from the reception given to the ex-rebels at Tam many Hall, have gone forth to re-inflame the Southern mind against the North. " tid miral" Semmes, the freebooter who did such gallant deeds in destroying unarmed whalers and merchantmen during the rebellion, is one of these marvellous specimens. He has just notified the Northern people that "the South is not to be trifled with!" There is no perceptible tremor, as yet, in the Northern pulse, at this ominous threat. Gold has gone up, but it is not. attributed to Semmes, by any of the best authorities. We , could afford to laugh at the pompous non sense of poor Semmes, were it not that it was with just such stuff as this that the South was roused to active rebellion, seven years ago, and were it not that there are yet thou sands of hot-headed Southerners ready to echo the braggadocio of this ea-pirate, and only wanting the power to carry their now empWbrag into attive h - ostility - to the Govern ment. Becomes, himself, is nothing, and his threats, in themselves, are lighter than vanity. They are the old story over again: "You have stilled my nose, you have spit in my face, you have kicked me down stairs, you 'aye called me a coward and a liar'!" Bbt beware lest you go a step too far and rouse the sleep ing lion in my breast!" Seriously speaking, the South ought to know by this time that there is no disposition to trifle with her. She has behaved too badly, and cost the country too much, to allow the idea of trifling. That there has been far too much generosity and lenience shown toward her is undoubtedly true. It has been car ried to an extreme that may be almost taken for trifling. When it is remem bered that not one traitor has been punished, while three hundred thousand loyal American citizens lie in premature graves on account of the crime of treason: when it is remembered that the wicked folly of the South has bound the fearful burden of our na tional debt upon the shoulders cf the country, and that the South has been made IQ pay nothiEw for the infliction of this load upon us, there does seem to have been something like trifling with the great results of the rebellion. But when Semmes and the like, warmed, like frozen vipers, into new life, in the embrace of the Northern Democracy, begin to hiss out their old threats against the loyal people of the country, and to tell them, with that supreme insolence that is the natural expression of one large phase of the Southern mind, that "the South is not to be trifled with," it only serves to show the North that such people are, as yet, very far from being "clothed and in their right mind, - very far from being fit to resume their old place as citizens of the United States. Such men never know when they are whipped. The rebels who insulted Generals Grant and Sherman at St. Joseplt last week, were of the same stripe as Semmes, and Sherman told them the plain truth when he intimated to them that although he thought he and Genersl Grant had given the rebels as much fighting as they wanted, they could be accommodated %ith a little more of the same kind if they needed it. miz:zz= MOUt M,lt. It is a crying disgrace to a great city like Philadelphia that there should ever be a defi ciency in the supply of water. With the Delaware on one side 'and the Schuylkill on the other, there is no good reason why every portion of the city should not be abundantly furnished. Every dollar spent in water sup plies pays back a direct income to the city treasury, and yet Philadelphia is scarcely better supplied, with her sOO,OOO inhabitants, than she was twenty years ago with one-half the population. Yesterday morning a destructive fire oc curred in the lower part of the city. A large cotton and woolen mill was totally destroyed, with its valuable machinery and stock of goods, simply because there was not water enough to supply the engines. The firemen were on the spot promptly and in full force, but the utmost that the powerful cteamers could do was to throw feeble streams half way up the buildings, which were consumed while the firemen stood helplessly looking on the destruction. We repeat that it is a cry ing disgrace to Philadelphia that such iicenes are possible. It is not enough to say that 1' ' construc tion of new machinery at Fairmount and the summer drought_ combine to produce this disastrous result. These causes do not cover the difficulty. There is ..Kver water enough to supply a proper quantity for the necessi ties of all parts of the city. There is water enough in the Schuylkill for all the wants of Philadelphia, at all seasons of the year, but we do not get it, and while private citizens suffer daily inconvenience and discomfort from the deficiency, conflagration s weeps away thousands of dollars worth of valuable property, and throws hundreds of workmen out of employment. If water was furnished gratuitously to the citizens, there might 1.P.; sinne economical grounds upon which they might be stinted in this necessity of life and . safety. But this is not the case. The Writer „ pepitrixot Faye well, Watt the =IC c.r.4.1 MEg These generous and gentlemanly senti ments fairly represent the character of the Southern chivalry of which we have heard so. much. Wade Hampton is the very best spe cimen of his class. He is wealthy,educated, able, and saturated with the pernicious prin ciples with which slavery 4 'and its great de fenders, have poisoned the South. The ap plause with which his counsel was received, and the readiness with which this kind of punishment has already been inflicted upon loyal Inegroes in other states, prove that his knightly breffireii - are perfectly in accord with him upon the subject. This, then, is the grand result of that supe rior excellence, that superfine gentility, which Southern gentlemen claim as the conse uence of their blue blood; t hat they select from their enemies the weakest and most helpless object, and wreak their vengeance upon it. It is a chivalry that would like to stab the Govern ment. It is afraid to, and therefore vents its spleen upon its dependants. Like the servant beaten by hie master, it turns to kick the dog. It is a peculiar chivalry. Not even the uncouth lords of the middle ages did such mean and dirty things. These good knights first held the negroes in a slavery that was horrible in principle and practice. When emancipation came, they maltreated and murdered the freedmen, because they were without power. Now that we have given the'oppressed people a mighty weapon in the franchise, these knightly men blandly tell them that they are an inferior race, and that because their shins are curved, their heels elongated, and their frontal eleva dons defective, they are not ft , to exercise an opinion, and that they have only to trust to the guidance of their old per secutors, to walk in the paths of wisdom and peace. They stoop to cajole and to threaten beings they affect to despise. They find the highest exercise of their nobility in giving to the poor man in their employ the alternative of surrendering his privilege as a freeman, or of starving. They are mean enough to bribe with bread the famished negro whom they would kick if they dared, and they feel no shame in bringing the accusation of laziness and worthlessness against the very men whom they deprive of every opportunity to earn an honest living. This is the chivalry of the slanderer, the coward and the sneak thief—of those who oppress the weak, and commit the crimes that arc consistent with their personal safety. If Wade Hampton is the impersonation of chivalry,thank Heaven for that boorishness which could induce General Grant and the whole North to for give even his treason. It is better to be a plebeian, if this is aristocracy. But there is another side to this business. Suppose we determine to retaliate? What if the great body of Republicans in the North conclude to make a practical application of Mr. Wade Hampton's principle, and ,an nounce their fixed purpose to discharge every laboring man in their employ who votes for Seymour? Such a thing could not be, be cause Northern men have too much of the spirit of Liberty to exercise mean tyranny over those who are in their power; but they have precisely the tame right to do it as- Wade Hampton and his precious friends have, and the results would be more satisfac tory. But the institution of this plan in a half dozen cases would raise such a tempest of Copperhead imprecations and threats,that the present howls against Radical iniquity would seem tame beside it. Wade Hampton, and men of his stamp, would be the first to de nounce it, and to make it an argument in favor of a new rebellion. But this is a free country, and as the Re publicans are to remain in power, it will con tinue so. if the negroes of the South choose to do violence to their own interests by vot ing the Democratic ticket, we will only pity them, and bid them do so without any inter ference from Northern Republicans,who have the best right and the greatest power to inter fere. But in whichever direction they exer cise their right of suffrage, they must be pro tected from the vengeance of the rebels, and if this wholesale discharge from employment takes place as is threatened, we sincerely hope Congress will re-establish the Freedmen's Bureau, and levy taxes upon the South to e apport it, that we may support the negroes. If —ifs cannot have justice done in one way we call in another, and that it will be done, Southern rebels may rest assured. ~- _ the eup . plies, the greater the income to the city. The present evil lies at the door of a mis s table, factious opposition in Councils on the part of the Bern ocratic minority in that body, to the loan bill, introduced a few months ago, the purpose of which was to increase the supply of water. The measure was defeated by these scheming politicians, and they will be remembered for their reckless dis regard of the wants of their constit uents.' They care nothing for the interests of Philadelphia, and it is to be hoped that in some of the Democratic sections of the city, which are now suffering from an inadequate water supply, there will he such a response to their claims upon public patronage and support as will show them that the people are determined to entrust their municipal affairs to honest, intelligent and public spirited men who will look more after the interest of the community, and less after their own. CHIVALROUS REVENGE Wade Hampton, the rebel who helped to frame the Democratic platform, made a speech in Charleston one day last week, in which, among other infamous things, he urged the Southern people to make every ef fort to secure the negro vote for the Demo cratic ticket, and in the event of refusal on the part of any freedman, to discharge him instantly from whatever position he holds. Hampton advised his hearers to exercise a minute surveillance of the blacks to ascertain their opinions, and to inflict merciless ven geance upon those who }incline to Republi canism. The Democrats of the North are wiser in their generation than those of the South. In stead of giving publicity to the treasonable, incendiary and furious declamations of South ern orators and newspapers, in favor of a new rebellion,the managers here have been quietly advising the fire-eaters to subdue their ferocity and make fewer violent threats. The fact is 1 . 111 , leaden sue beconk. THE DAILY EVENING BIIILETIN---PHILADELPHIA, WpNESDAY AUGUST 5, 1868. in g alarmed at the boldness with which rebels such as Wade Hampton assert their determi nation to rule and ruin the country. They fear that loyal Democrats in - the North will begin to perceive the true drift of the cam paign, and will cast their Votes in favor of the candidate whose policy is embodied in the utterance, •'Let us have peace," rather than in behalf of him who is,pledged by his plat form to anarchy. and misrule. But it is too late. The rebels will not be silenced, and if they could be, the republi cation of their ravings by the loyal newspa pers has acquainted the people with the in tent of their hearts. The Charleston Mercury counsels greater prudence in speech, because its "friends at the North re quest it;" but even while giving the advice, it cannot forbear boasting of the action that will follow the success NA its cause. And when, in that elegant metaphor which is en tirely peculiar to the South, it threatens in November "to come down upon us like an avalanche, and double Us up like a grub worm," it coarsely expresses the intention of the rebels to consummate in the councils or the nation the villany begun seven years ago in the field, namely: the destruction of this republic. It will be the fault of our true and loyal masses, if, under the same noble leader, we do not overwhelm them a second time. Opening Sales at Auction Knot.

Tate Scramble for Halpinc'• Office The late Competitive Drill—A Stack dalltlanla—Hore about the Wicked est Han—An Exact Statement Ile gard in g Him. Ill'erreepondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin NEW Your:. August 4, IrstlB.—To show the dreadful voracity of the political harpies who overrun the country, it is only necessary to say that before the breath was out of poor Halpine , eight applicants for the position of Register, car pet-bag in hand. went towards Albany, and be fore' the news of his death was one hour old, ten or twelve more were also on the way for the same place. As all of these possess influence to a greater or lesser deurm. it Is impossible to say who will be successful. The public are indulging in many strictures on the manner in which the Montgomery Guard, of Boston, were treated during their late visit to this city. It is a subject of regret to all that the reputation of the city 'of New 'York for hospi tality and "fair play" should be so tampered with by a set of Inefficitnt officers, such as thos e who had the direction of the arrangements for the competitive drill, which took place at Tomp kins's Square, on the 30th ult. The ground set apart for the exercises was frequently invaded by the crowd, and the evolutions of the company curtailed for want of space. All the preparation for the exhibition showed either wilful neglect or gross ignorance. The Guard started for home on the afternoon of the 31st, having first, how ever, challenged their competitors (Company E, 12th infantry N. Y. S. M.) to another trial in Boston. Major Egan, the referee. published a card on the 31st, giving his reasons for the de cision in favor of the New York Company, but saying very little in regard to the numerous dis advantages under which the strangers labored. Mr. George Mortimer, clerk in the City Regis ter's Office, died a few days ago at the ripe old see of 74. Re held the same position for h 2 years previous to his death, and was the oldest attache of auy political department in the United States. When he first entered the office he was the only clerk It eon tained,and the Register's fees barely supported him; now there are one 'hun dred clerks, and the income of the Register is $30,000. Themania for suicide seems to be on the in crease. A peculiarity characterizing nearly all of the late rash acts on the part of the misguided victims, is the singular selection of locale for the scene of self-Immolation. Cases arise where per sons are found In parks—in the open street and in small alleyways, having there killed themselves by,poison, the pistol, or any of the numerous quethods custom has sanctioned. _ - - - The latest sensation .of this kind was caused by a German—name unknown—who selected Coney Island as the scene and the pistel as the instrument, and died. The singularity of this not becomes the more surprising when it is ex plained that the island in question is the grand ,resort of the pickpockets and other loose char t:eters on Saturday. and that the suicide took place on that day, when the Island was crowded. I am again called upon to take issue with the religious press and with Packard's AI onaly in re gard to the reformation of John Allen, the 'wickedest man in New York." Our pions edi tors have been most egregiously sold by a young nag ailne writer, who, in the first place, was "smoked' by John Allen himself, who,by all odds, is the most consummate villain unhung. He has no intention of giving up his present business as long as it pays him. He will continue in his trade of helping to destroy the bodies and souls of his fellow creatures just so long as the business remains as it is and the police authorities do not molest him A party of journalists visited 463 den a few nights ego—all of them men of discrimination and judgment—men who can read human nature without borrowed spectacles. They saw the "WieltPtlest Man" and talked with him. fie had just returned from the Howard Ilisaion,where he _spid hem entertained by Mr. Arnold, the Acting Elnperit.tev,lent of tue Little Wto .ecru' He was evidentlr much amused at the idea of be coming a "nea r ' as it were; talked quite freely aboutmattera of keneral interest, but never for an instant. forgot his disgusting business, and eVer,and anon would Stop his discourse to call out to the misetable creatures whom he employs as man-traps, "Come, gals! step up and drink 1 Keep your partners lively !" Then to the newspaper men, "Now, gents! them gals is waidn' to .be treated. Cost you only $2. Step up and drink. Come gals !" and the poor debased wrecks of womanhood, ten or twelve in number, stepped up, to the bar to go through the form of drinking the good health of the visitors in ginger-pop . , ono half-pint bottle of which made drinks for twelve or fourteen women, and for each drink the reformed "Wickedest Man" received ten cents. Next door to this offshoot of the Evil One himself lives another, who is not quite so lost to all feelings of shame and remorse. He said the other night to the gentleman I have mentioned, "John Allen has got $31,000 in bank and his business is look ing up because the papers puff him. My bnai nese didn't pay me no such money, but it makes bread for my wife and children. So help me God, gentlemen," and he said this very earnestly, "give me $250 just enough to take me and mine oaten this cussed hole, and I'll leave it and all like it forever." Let me tell you again that titis"Wicked eat Man" reform is a humbug. I thought so at first, and my original opinion is strengthened by circums • nces, one ofrrhiett is the great hurrah the n • by-pamby press is making over it. Ano is the more significant fact that one of the lest men in the matter la the Arnold I have mentioned, a shrewd, sharp, semi-clerical gentleman left temporarily in charge of the Little Wanderers' Home. Of him I will say one word. Not many months ago there was an exhibition of reformed drunkards (so-called), said to have been cured at Dr. Somebody's Inebriate's Home, on Long Island. The reformed drunkards all made speeches, in which they declared that five weeks ago they had been so many filthy brutes; that they had been taken to Dr. Somebody's Inebriates' Home, and there washed and clothed and fed, and by the kindness and care, by moral precept, physical exercise, total abstinence, plain diet, and the prac tice of piety, bad been converted into men again. These statements were corroborated by several clergymen present. In the audience was a Tri bune reporter, to whom this Arnold soon made himself known. "Sir," said Tribune, "is it p_oetible that those fifteen strong, stout, healthy looking toed were five weeks ago the - miserable wretches they say they wore ?" "They have told - what is true," said Arnold. "And do yon mean to say," said Tribune, "do these other holy men mean for us to believe that these remarkable cures have been effected as stated by the reformed?" "Well—" (this was rather long drawn), "not ex aetly, you know; all these cures were aided by the total abstinence, the plain diet, tire., spoken of by the reformed; but, sir,"—here he drew from his pocket an ordinary little pasteboard box —"this is what effected the cure." He kept the box well concealed from the view of the people aroundlifm,but Tribune was permitted to read upon the top of it the following legend: DR. SOMEBODY 5 INFAI LIBLE INEBRIATE CURE. Price Five Dollars. Fell Directions Inside. Here-was-a-bare-faceci-elteat r then i -whetiter th • cores were or were not effected by Clip contents of 11 - 611 - 31. -- IrYS!:,, - Ilien'thi iridience and the general public were deluded by half a dozen cler gymen who had lent themselves to a swindle. If no. then Dr. Somebody and Mr. Arnold and the half dozen minifiters were equally guilty of deception. At any rate the Tribune did not help the cheat by putting Dr. Somebody's cure, and whether Mr. Arnold is still a traveling agent for the new medical philanthropist Is more than I can tell. He has not yet succeeded In obtaining a single line of puff for the "Cure,"and I sincerely hope he never may, unless he should take up "cure making" as a regular business and work hard and honestly at it for the rest of his life.

The daily volume of business continues large, and the prevailing disposition of operators is to buy, the general belief being that the pre mium will rise much higher within the next few months on commercial and political grounds.and in view of the limited floating supply of coin this is by no means improbable. The excitement at tending the Presidential election is undoubtedly favorable to a strong gold market, and the pre ponderance of imports over exports is resulting In a steady outward drain of specie. The Bab- Treasury disbursed $93,000 in coin during the Government securities continue dull, and there was no material change in prices daring the day, except for ten-forties, which advanced - to 109% under the operations of some of the German bankers, who are speculating upon the fears of the people and endeavoring to create a false im pression as to the value of these bonds. The latter have already run four years, and therefore they have only six years longer to run, and they bear only five per cent. interest per annum; yet while they are selling at the price mentioned, the five-twenties -of 1868, -which havestleast yearn-turtm, • re gelling at 109. The five-twenties are, therefore, rela tively much cheaper, and an opportunity pre sents itself for the holders of ten-forties to con vert them into five•twenties and make a hand some profit upon the transaction. A sharp up ward movement in governments is only a ques rerretrane, and - Meatorkllerthelarge - ricaters - 11 hnolna• nr _ oli thn atnntra nffnrnil hv wank hnhilmt F and "Zhort" sellers; but it is fair to say that the supply from these sources is very limited. Money continues extremely easy to borrowers In good credit on satisfactory collaterals; but Erie is rejected as a collateral by the United States Trust Company and, Deafly all the Banks and pri vate lenders. On government securities the sup ply is largely In excess of the demand at three per cent. and, on miscellaneous collaterals, al- I though the general rate is four, there are not a few exceptional transactions at the lower rats. Just now credits and margins are scrutinized with some severity, as It is considered likely that the heavy break in Erie will result in failures, and lenders have lost confidence in the stook. A report is current on the street that the Erie Com pany has purchased the Bristol line of Sound steamers, and damaging use is made of this, although it is contradicted by those directors of the company who have been elected directors of the steamboat company in question.

The Government bond market has become the scum of one of those freaks for which Wall street speculators are famous, to-wit: the ten forty bonds paying 5 per cent. gold interest were to-day advanced to 1.09, 1 -,. while the new 6 per, cent. gold interest bonds of 1865, 1867, and 1868 'were selling from 108% to 109. As the act of Congress of March 3, 1865, which authorizes the issue of the new five-twenty 6 per cent. bonds, affirms as plainly as In the ten-forty act that the principal and interest are both payable in gold coin, it is evident that these prices are not warranted by anything but specula tive movements. Some investment holders of the ten-forties. tempted by their relative high puke, sold them to-day, and bought in their place the new 6 per cent. gold bonds of 1867 and 18I;N- The opportunity for making this exchange el ten-forties for five-twenties ought not to be lost sight of by investors. For the first time in the history of our finances since the rebellion closed, Government has got rid of all its short and maturing indebtedness, and a final stop bas been put to any increase of the 6 per cent. gold bonds. The surplus revenue of the Government, to the extent of about $250,- 000,000. has been need for paying maturing ob ligations, but in the future any surplus must be used in buying and cancelling the 6 per cent. gold bonds, and as a matter of course lowest priced. The 18645, new 18655, and 1868 s, will be selected first. The fact that the six per cent. Government gold bonds have reached their maximum amount, and that hence forth they will he decreased by Treasury Department purchases, must have an important (filet on the market for our bonds and the gradual enhancement of our Government credit. At the present time and condition of the market an at tempt to buy $5,000,000 of Government se curities in the new bonds will advance their price 2or 3 per cent. The market is quiet but firm, and the large dealers are laying in stock as cheap as they can, and at the same limo are doing all in their power to keep prices low for the pur pose of buying.

The State School Convention, TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The Public Debt Statement. [Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Builletin.) WASHINGTON, August s.—The Augdst state ment of the . public debt, which is due to-day, will not be issued until Friday. The first of July having been the close of the fiscal year, no state ment was then issued, and the comparison, therefore, will be with the June statement. The decrease in the gold balance will not be as considerable as has been generally expected out side of the department, owing to there being two months receipts from customs to offset the July interest, and to the fact that the Alaska purchase money will not be accounted for until the next exhibit. Seymour Accepts the Nomination and nelines.His Position. • • UTICA, - Aug. 44210irernor8tsymotithaii - Wrlttan" a letter formally accepting tho Tammany nomi nation. Ho says it was unsought and unex pected, but be was caught up by the whelming tide which is bearing the country on to a great political change, and found himself unable to re sist the pressure. The resolutions adopted at the Convention ac cord with his views. Ho has delayed a formal acceptance until the adjournment of Congress, for the purpose of seeitat light the action_._ of Congress would throw upon the inter ests of the country. The Congressional party has not only allied itself with the military power which is to bear directly upon the elec tions in many States, but holds itself in perpetual tessiun, witit-ttre-avowcd-prcrimse-ofixfakinratfeh— lt...4,--a-agit- electioas soon to take place. Never before has Con gress • Laken a menacing attitude towards electors. Under the influeace of Congress some of the States are proposing to deprive the people of the right to vote for Presidential elec tors, and the first bold step has been taken to de stroy the right of suffrage. The great interests of our Union demand peace, order and the re turn to industrial pursuits. The - minds of busi ness men are perplexed by uncertainties• the hours of toil of out laborers are lengthened, by the costs of living, made by the exactions of the Government, and the people are harrassed by the heavy and frequent demands of the tax gatherers. Men have been admitted as Re presentatives of some of - the Southern States with . the declaration upon their lips that they cannot live in the States they claim to represent without military protection. These men owe their seats in Congress to the dis order at•the South, and every motive springing • from the love of power and gain and .of a desire for vengeance prompts them to keep the South in anarchy. In vain the wisest members of the Republican party have protested against the policy that leads to ibis result. The chiefs of the late rebellion have submitted to the results of the war, and are now quietly engaged in useful pursuits, while those who clamorously insist that they are the only friends of the Union are striving to keep alive the passions to which they owe their elevation. There ie hardly an able man who helped to build up the Republican organization who has not, within the past three years, warned it against its excesses, while many have been driven from its ranks. The election of a Democratic Executive and Of a majority of Democratic members of the House would not give to that party organization the 'Dower to make sudden and violent changes, but it wpuld serve to check those extreme mea sures wlft.c.`o have been deplored by the best men of both tanks. This result would most certainly lead to a peaceful restoration of the Union. Gov( rnor Seymour says personally there are no attractions in the:presidential office for him. The energy - of the Democratic party springs from devotion to their cause, and not from devotion to their candidates. Never in the political his tory of our country has the action of any like body been received with such universal and wide spread enthusi :am as that which is shown in rela tion to the position of the Democratic convention. With this the candidates had nothing to do. De mocracy was strengthened by the co-operation of the great body_of those who served in the Union army and naNky-duriug the war. He (Governor Seymour) had given nearly 16,000 commissions to officers of that army, and he knew their views and wishes. They demand the Union for which they fought. The largest meeting of these gallant soldiers ever held has endorsed the action of the Democratic Convention. When there is such accord between those who proved themselves brave and self-sacrificing in war and those who are thoughtful and patriotic in. coon cannot doubt we shall •ain a political tri umph which will restore the Union, bring back peace and prosperity to' our land, and give us once more the bleeeings of a wise, economical and honest government. The Teachers , State Convention. [Special Deepateh to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.) ALLLNTOWN, August s.—This morning's pro ceedings of the Teachers' State Convention were particularly interesting. There was a much larger attendance than yesterday, there being some three hundred teachers on the floor, besides several hundred visitors. Of the three hundred delegates about one hundred and twenty-five are ladies. ' After a prayer by the Rev. Mr. Wood, of Allen town, and singing by the Glee Club, the Conven tion proceeded to discuss the subject of Normal Schools. Professor A. N. Raub, of the Keystone Normal School, took the position that Normal Schools should have a distinct and well defined sphere, which was not the case in Pennsylvania. The training should not be academical or collegiate, but strictly professional. Mr. J. R. Sypher, of Pbiladelppla, deprecated constant allusions to Pennsylvania deficiencies. She equalled if not surpassed all other States. Pennsylvania had never been hostile to educa tion. Many of her people had believed that it was the Church's business to educate, not the State's; hence the former opposition. Mr. Raub contended that other nations and States were far ahead of Pennsylvania. He praised the educational system of Prussia. Bon. Thomas IL Burrowes, of Lancaster, said we bad built plenty of school-houses, and made plenty of books, > but we had not the proper teachers. Professor Parker, of Philadelphia, wanted to know why . the State:bad expended in the ague gate twenty-flve hundred dollar, on, each.-Nor mal School student with such poor results? — The — discussion ranthe uie of grammars, and , Professor Woodraff, of. Chatter, 1 2:30 Resolved, That in the decease of Brigadier-Gen eral Charles G. Halpine, who, at the time of this death was Register of this City and County, the Republic loses a tried, intrepid, and valorous sol dier; the State one of the most enlightened, n pright and patriotic citizens; this city and county a most faithful, industrious and competent officer; society one of its brightest ornaments ; politics and literature one of the most versatile, accom plished, and enthusiastic votaries. He was a kind, trne friend, a tender, loving husband, an af fectionate father, a warm-hearted, generous, gen ial companion. To a large circle of acquain tances, wile knew him but to love him," his death leaves a void that will neveibe filled; while to his immediate family, his stricken wife, and orphan children, his loss is irreparable, aitd we hereby tender them our sincere and heartfelt sym pathy and condolence in this their time of tribu lation ; be it further Resolved, That as a mark of respect for the de ceased, this Common Council will attend the fu neral in a body, with their staves of office draped in mourning; tha t the flags on the City Hall and the other public buildings be displayed at half mast, from sunrise to sunset, on the day set apart for solemnizing the funeral rites and ceremonies; that the masters or owners of the shipping in our harbor, and the owners •or occupants of all buildings, public and private. In this city, be also requested to display their flags at half-mast during the day; that the offices and public build ings of the corporation be cloied on said day: and that a Special Committee of five members from each branch of the COCIIMOLIConneII be ap pointed to perfect the above, and make such other arrangements as may in their judgment be best calculated to manifest sorrow for the death t and respect for the memory of the de ceased. Resoir(d, That a copy of the foregoing pream ble and resolutions be engrossed and framed, duly authenticated by the Clerk of Common Council, and transmitted to the family of the de ceitful. The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and the following committee was appointed to make preparations for the obsequies in behalf of the Board : Aldermen McGrath, Hardy, Cashman, O'Brien and Coulter.
