' ■ ItIOTBUCAN 01IT¥. »' Tfae.lbemocratic party has certainly put itr ■Mff jjijist where its opponents Want it. The ■Scenes that have been enacted in the r cratic Convention this week, and the character •f the work which they have accomplished, t leave no room to doubt that the worst rowdy [/element of the Democracy is wholly in the as* sendant, and that it means to rule or ruin this «ty,'ff it cdn. The National Assembly of the Preach Revolution rarely exhibited scenes of more brutal violence and anarchy than have been enacted during the last few days by and in’the name of Democracy. The result of this' disgraceful Conventionhas been the nomination •f just such a ticket as might baVe been ex pected. It presents no single redeeming fea ture, not one name that deserves/ the confi dence or support of.this community, while it is blackened and made odious by some names, known only to the public by their fre quent connection with the police reports. No one name of a prominent and respectable Democrat appeals among the disgraceful re cords of /this riotous conclave. It was ruled by McMrillin, Moiuitjoy, Josephs, “Piggy” Di vine and more of the same stamp, and its work is in perfect keeping with its workmen. ... -The key to the present position of the Demo cratic party is the selection of John P. Ahern' as Clerk of the Court of Quarter.- Sessions. This hold, brazen move upon the sanctity of eur Criminal Courts reveals the : whole design of the mob-Democracy. Hitherto, the Courts of Philadelphia have stood as a barrier between the law and the Democratic -mob. With one-, •r two painful exceptions in the Supreme ~ Court,. Democratic partisanship has been pow erless with our judges, and until the barrier of a'pure judiciary is broken down, Democracy, in its full, lawlessness; cannot rule in this great city. Now, encouraged by its partial and tem- 1 porary successes, the “Rough” wing of the Democracy, which controls its majorities, lias .made, a-bold and direct move upon the Criminal Courts. To capture the Clerkship of the Court of Quarter Sessions would he to - gain a vantage ground from which it might confidently hope to push its way into the Coiirt itself, and when the Democracy-cap tures that Court, it will be time for decent peo ple to look out for new homes. In the face of the bold move by which the Democracy has thrust itself forward,in its most yrenufeive ugliness unon the people of Pliiladel- Bphia; the duty of the Republican party is plain. ■The ticket which it lias presented to the people Pik already too far superior to the Ahern ticket * to, leave any doubt as to the duty of every , good citizen at the ballot-box. But we wish to see the ranks still more compactly closed, the works still more thoroughly fortified. Every weak point—arid there are a few on the legis lative ticket—should he strengthened, und the Bepubiicoh party cannot fail of a splendid and most important victory. i Legislative ticket is not wholly what it should be. The record of the last Legislature, J as a whole, was so bad, that almost every indi- ! ridual member of it shares in the odium of its acts. If those members who have 1 been renominated are honest, public-spirited, j .high-toned men, they ought to appreciate j the fact that the public welfare demands an fcntire change of the next Legislature, and j ■withdraw then names from the ticket. If they j Rre'not, if they belong to the corrupt trading j politicians who constituted the majority of the j Ks? Legislature, their names should be with- j Brawn by the people. j ■The people want a thoroughly fresh and j mlean Legislative ticket. The Democracy has ( ■feist victory upon' the Republican party by the of the past week; let not the , ■epublican party miss the fruits, of that victory j ■trough its own timidity or stupidity. Give us , UnSthMotnination in every Legislative district , ■tuck msputup an oldmember for re-election. : ■these old members will yield then personal in- : IBests, —yvliatcver the proper personal interests , {■any man may he in going to the Legislature, ; gracefully bow to the undoubted senti- ; of the people, it will redound only to their | credit. If ffiey will not, then give, us ! ticket in each of those districts, ! as will challenge the support of , of all parties, aud we believe that j There is no difficulty iu of the times. The people both as to its Eepubli- minority. was, tlian the by cs to the 1 uu never these do the renomuiatious included the number, this local reform on wisely put up new we hear aiid there will Does anybody suppose tliat the Democratic ! leaders expected to carry the fall elections hon estly when they selected such men as Ahem and Stewart for candidates ? They know too well the estimation in which these gentry are held by respectable citizens,, and they are fully aware that the Republican majority in this city cannot he reduced fairly while these fellows are Democratic candidates. But the Democracy intend to labor hard for success. . The first movement was to induce Judge Sharswood to pronounce the Registry law unconstitutional. The conventions would not have dared to nominate such outlaws if this barrier to fraud had not been removed. Now McMullin and his colleagues have determined to repeat their tactics of last year. There will he more “col onization” than ever before; and Mr. McMul lin and his cbliorts will '-, sweep through the city, organizing war at eveiy polling place j and driving voters away that they may do the i voting themselves. They will be supported by ! Mayor Fox’s policemen and by Sheriff Lyle’s | deputies, and we will have scenes of lawless ness and riot which will make the New York i Democrats pale with envy. There can he no 1 doubt that this is the programme, and that , Mayor Fox and Sheriff Lyle will do their duty !in carrying it out. The Mayor’s office was re presented hi the Sixth Ward Convention by a : clerk who, according to the President 1 and 'Secretary of that interesting body, ! gave an indication of the Mayoral policy, j a pistol at the head of several re ; fractoiy delegates and compelling them to do i his.w ill. There will be plenty of this kind of | work at the polls next fall, unless provision is ! made by the Republicans for their protection. portions of our tlioro uglily dis- MFlawlessness and v" party.

Retrench ment in all : the departments of the Govern ment, honesty in the collection bf revenue, and enlightened, intelligent administration of the ' Treasury', have brought about this; extraordi nary reduction of the debt. It takes a long time to correct the abases that were . not 'only tolerated but fostered during Andrew Johnson’s wicked administration. It has taken time to turn out his worthless, 'thieving office holders. But in spite of all, the work of diminishing the national debt'has gone on with ‘ a celerity that was not expected even by the .most sanguine members of the Republican party and the moSt enthusiastic admirers of- General Grant. The Whisky King, which caused a heavy drain Upon the Treasury in former years, has been broken up, and the reduced tax brings in an increased revenue, which is as satisfactory to the people as is the knowledge that an anny of fraudulent specula tors lias been deprived; of- its ’ffieans atidj ma chinery bf mischief. : During several sessions of Congi-ess, differ ent branclies of indristryihave been relieved of taxation; and yet, with an honest collection of revenues, and faithful, intelligent management of them, this great reduction of the debt has been effected. Congress, at its next session, • may go further with a like result;' : and, first of all, it ought to repeal the Income Tax, which is iodious and inquisitorial, and which' can be dis “‘pblised'with while we have, an honest adminisr "tration like the present one' in power at Wash ington. .. ~ .. . , ~. ~ .. .. , The Age, the New York World and other Democratic sheets, have been very much ex cited lately about General Sickles. Several of them have - published wliat' they call “his record,” and have cried shame'at the Repub lican party for harboring such a man. Now, if this record of Sickles is true, the disgrace re mains with the Democratic party. Eveiy crime charged against him was committed, if committed at all, while he was a leader of tliat, organization; and his morals were cor nipted, if corrupted at all, in the society of Democrats, and in such scenes as those enacted in the Democratic Convention just adjourned. That any man should come from such associa tions uneontaniinated, or, indeed, in any con dition but that of hopeless demoralization, would be indeed remarkable; but it is a well known fact tliat Sickles, whatever his past mis conduct, lias behaved well in the field and in private life since his connection with the Re publican party. 'While this is the case he de serves good treatment,. A repentant sinner lias a right to iorgiveness. It will not he safe for Democrats to’preach any other doctrine, un less they are willing to accept eternal condem nation for themselves. According to a recently published statement, Pennsylvania has 4,400 miles of finished rail roads. or about one thousand more miles than any other State of the Union. Illinois has 3,450, Ohio and New York each 3,400, and so on down. The New York Evening Post thinks that the lines now building will, in a short time, give New York the greatest num ber of miles in use in all the States; but there are plenty of Pennsylvanians willing to bet, that, their State will more than maintain h«r present supremacy. There are a number of new rail roads in progress, and more projected, in Penn sylvania. Besides, if all the underground rail roads. belonging to the hundreds of mines in this Shite, were included, the actual number of miles would'exceed live thousand. 'AILY EVENING BULLETO-P THE ; The Age has disappointed us.

But the Age has lost its influence with the rowdy and controlling ele ment in the party; and so, despite its good ad vice, men were taken from the brothel; and tile mm shop and the gutter, to represent the Democracy. The Age is not ashamed to give countenance to this outrageous insult to decent Democrats, because, as it declares, “fidelity to the organization l is the only safeguard of the party.” This is the favorite Democratic'prin ciple. The ticket must he supported, even if it contains the names of none but outlaws and blackguards. And this, too, will be the policy of jthe Democracy. They will vote in a body for the favorites of the rowdy convention. But what must be the humiliation of a respect able journalist who, is compelled to eulogize : “Johnny” Ahem and Other proteges of Aider man McMullin! In their platform the Democrats pledge them selves “to the reform' , of every abuse that can give occasion" for complaint.” There are va rious opinions as to what constitutes “an abuse.” Mr. McMullin' and some others of the managers of the recent conventions, con- 1 sider that the rigorous execution of the laws, bythejudges of the/Quarter Sessions'Court, the prosecution of bail, and the relentless pun-., ishment Of ruffians, black legs and thieves, are “ahuSes.” And we have a right to beliey? that„ this is the sense in which the wordis used in the platform, because the men who drafted the resolutions also nominated Ahern to the Clerk ship of the Quarter Sessions, in which position, if elected, he will have power to protect those of his friends, companions and relatives, who, in the future, as they have done ; in the past, violate the larva. This nomination is the first of a series of manoeuvres planned for the pur pose of giving the control of the Criminal Court to the outlaws of this city. Let all honest men look at New York, and taking warning from the terrible example, resolve that this out rageous assault upon the only bamer that pro tects the community from those who'prey upon it, shall be defeated at the outset. ; William Collins, an English poet, died one hundred and thirteen years ago;' and yet the classical little dirge, beginning “How Bleep the bravo who sink to rest,” was the best thing that could he found to be sung yesterday in commemoration of a battle fought in America in 1803. More than that, the whole dirge was sent from Gettysburg to Philadelphia, by the harnessed lightning of the telegraph, to be printed in yesterday’s Bulle tin. We do not grumble at paying telegraphic tolls even for such a poem, though nearly every body knows it by heart. But it was an insult to Collins’s memory, to have two ad ditional verses sung at the Gettysburg cere mony, which were written by an ass named Carter, of Baltimore; and it was an outrage upon a newspaper that it should have had to pay tolls for telegraphing his trash. It was printed, by way of contrast, with Collins’s beautiful lines; hut hereafter we shall take measures to avoid having effusions like Carter’s transmitted by the costly agency of the electric telegraph.

Tbe Steamship “United Kingdom.'’ The New York Times says: The United Kingdom, steam packet ship of the “Anchor Line, lias now been outseventy three days from this port, without a word hav ing been heard from her. ShesailedforGlasgow on the i!!tb of April; and every day increases the anxiety for her safety, though her agents here do not give her up yet. Sue was a slow vessel, even under steam, and had any acci dent happened to her macliiuery, herpro -gTess would be very much slower under the limited amount of canvas ; she carried. Her captain was an experienced sea man, having been employed on the Anchor Line for over twelve years; and the steamer was a comparatively new and'stauncli craft. She was built at Greenock, Scotland, in 1837; was an iron screw steamer, bark-rigged; meas ured 1,300 tons, and was valued at about .£40,000. The average length of her trips across the Atlantic, of which she has made over eighty, was from seventeen to twenty live days. When she left this port she was loaded withti cargo of grain, rosiu and provi sions, which are insured on the other side. The following is a list of her passengers: Cabin—Whitmore Pearce, Clark. Wilson, Mrs. M. Ryan, Mrs. C. Rathway, John Bin son, Eliza Binson, Emma Rinson, J. R. Thompson. Intermediate— Wm. Forrest, John Uscougb, Owen McCloskv, Jas. Whitley, Philip Dod weli, Agnes Douwell, D. Kerr. Steerage— Bernard Ariensen, Nathaniel Dar rah, Marion McCall, Pat. Carney, Mary Cannon, Catherine Foster, John Doherty, Mary Montgomery, Pat. Hanley, Ann Fagan, Mrs. It. S. Orr, Theodore Lees, James Scott, W. Anderson, James Nesbitt, Jacob Michael, Mary Colvin, Ellen Colvm, Win. Borgnliolze, Jane Paul. The cause of her long absence is only a mat ter of conjecture. A break in her machinery may have obliged her to use sails; she may have been driven far her coursa by gales, owing to difficulty in steering; or she may have foundered on icebergs or burned at sea. Unless heard from very soon, we fear the good ship will have to be placed upon the list of the “fir-fated,” THE COURTS. The Registry Law. Supreme Court —Chief Justice Thompson, and Justices Read, Agnew, Sliarswood aud Williams.—This morning the appeal in the case of the Registry Raw was taken up for argument. Sir. Charles Gibbous, on behalf of *the de fendants, opened the argument, submitting three propositions: Fh-st —That the plaintiffs in this bill have no standing in Court, Second —That the Court has no jurisdiction of the subject matter of the bill. Third —That the Act of Assembly is a constitutional law. The object of the law was to throw guards around the ballot-box aud render pure the elections, and if possible elevate the character of our public servants. In this connection Mr. Gibbons stated the- principal features of the registry law. Jn regard to the first proposi -tion he held that tins is a public bill, operating all over the Commonwealth. The plaintiffs are private citizens, representing nobody but themselves. They have no more interest in the matter than the public generally,for whom they are not authorized to speak. They show neither injury nor damage: on the contrary, it •appears from their bill and the act itself to be impossible for-them-to-s us tain any special damage by the operation of this law. Who authorized these plaintiffs to come into court? Who appointed them my agent or the agents of the people of this community to come into this court and ask you to declare a law which the whole community is praying for uncon stitutional and void? They have no authority to appear. A party' appealing to a Court- of - Equity must——show that lie is • suffering' some special damage to person or property. The interests of the defendants are the same as those of the plaintiffs—all are subject to the operations of the law, and subject to the same taxation; therefore the plaintiffs cannot show any spe cial damage. If these six plaintiffs can'come here and ask to have a great public law de r blared null and void, then one man eau do it, and thus obstruct the operations- of a general law. A number of authorities were cited in. sup port of the proposition. - I In regaru to the second point it was held 1 that the regulation of elections belongs exclu (lively to the Legislature.. It was so declared by the charter of 1083. It was so declared by the 18th section of the Constitution of 1776. The same Constitution limited the chancery * powers of the Supreme Court to the perpetua tion of testimony, obtaining evidence from places not within the State, and ' the care of persons and estates of those who are non com pos mentis, “and such otli.er powers as may bo found necessary .by future General ‘As— ■ sembhes, not inconsistent with this Con . stitution.” The - Constitution of 1790 did practically and substantially the same thing, W.

Judges of the Conrt held their oftices^ ’f&t Hfb/ " have ing held, by settingaside electibnlaws ottheir pleasure. (The sixth .articld'-’bf. the. Rill, of ; RlghtaoLl776madeprdvfeiW:jigalnBtlegiBla . ti ve or executive,oppression: “‘That those who 'arc employed in the legislative : ahd.exeeutivo .business of the State may he restrained from - oppression; the people have a right, at such : periods as they thinx proper, to reduce their . public officers to a private stotion,'and sup ply the vacancies by certain and. regular elec* i tions.” The several constitutions and aincnd- men to continued all the laws in force, and , thus the exclusive right of the Legislature to make laws for the regulation of elections, Without the interference of this Court, was perpetuated* This Court is responsible to the Legislature and the Legislature is responsible to the people, whose agents they are, to carry out all great public measures. ! This is the agent to whom the Constitution givesjhe exclusive power of regulating the elections of the commonwealth. In the charter of 1083 the representatives of the peopless/ere ; entrusted with “the appointment ana propor tion of which number, as also the laying and methodizing the choice of such representatives in future time.” This has been carried into'all the subsequent legislation and chartets and constitutions; While this power of regulating elections s j vested in the Legislature, the same Constitution limits the power of this Court, and denies to ' this Court the right to interfere with any election law. There ’ must have been some reason tor this,’ The people of that day, in the midst of a revolu tion, did not mean in the distribution of their Sovereignty to place in one tribunal tile power to destroy their liberties. * They guarded against it not only by the Constitution, but by limitingthe power of the Legislature,by giving them the power to extend the chancery powers of this Court, hut this is to ire “not inconsistent with the Constitution.” This Conrt was never authorized to determine whether a law em barrasses the people in the elections. That is for the people themselves to decide. If the conrt can restrain the operations of a great law then you can send out your attachments for contempt by some 20,000 election in this Commonwealth, whose duty it is to carry outr tlie law. If you can do all this, where will you bury your dead? If you can restrain these defendants, yon could grant an injunc tion to restrain the Legislature from passing such a law, and where will you end? Is the laiv constitutional? The opinion of the Conrt below is founded almost exclusively on a mistaken idea of the meaning of the fifth article of the Bill of Rights, which declares “that all elections shall be free and equal.” The Court assumed the article to mean that all .election laws shall be uniform throughout the State. There is no authority to he found any where for such a construction. As applied to elections the word “free” lias never had but one meaning in Pennsylvania. It means the right of the elector to vote without unlaw ful obstruction, intimidation or corruption. The word is used in the laws agreed upon in England, in 1082, in that sense—“ Ail elec tions,” &c., “shall be free and voluntary.” The great law of Chester, passed August, 1082, uses the saine words, and in the same sense. They are found in the Bill of Rights of 1770, and in the Constitution ot that year, as follows: “All elections, whether by the people or in General Assembly, shall he by ballot, free and voluntary,” &c. The case is still under argument. Messrs. Dropsie, Simpson, Gibbons and Meredith appear for the defendants, and Messrs. Phillips and Hirst for the complain ants.

Philadelohia Friday, July 2,15G9.—1t is not a little singular that in the face of the large disbursements in gold and cur rency now in progress, the money market should con tinue active and stringent, but such is the fact. Thede mand for loans is unabated, and the rates for accommo dation, both at the banks and in the open market, show no material change from those of yesterday. This fea ture is not peculiar to our city only, but prevails in New York and other cities where money continues scarce and dear. We quote call loans t 6a7 per cent, on Government and other good stock collaterals, and prime mercantile paper is current to-day on the street at -7alo per cent.— the exact figure depending upon the credit of the maker and the zeal with which it is pressed on the market. The banks continue conservative, and discounting with them is the exception and not the rule. * Gold is steady at with limited transactions. Government loans are quiet here, hut active in New York at an advance of per cent, on closing prices of yesterday. State Loans were inactive. City Loans were ill better request; 100 for the hew, and for the old certificates.

THIRD :; ; : by' liATEB FROM WASHINGTON' THE CUBAN QUESTION OUE TREATMENT OF THE MATTER Opinion of the British Legation England Placed in an Awkward Position and Oar Treatment of Cuba. I Special Despatch to the Phlla. Eve. Bulletin.l Washington, July 2.—The comments of the British Legation here.and the anxiety they evince in regard to, the . enforcement pf the neutrality laws In Caban affairs, are somewhat amusing, They say that the course pursued by our Government in arresting the Cubans cannot be considered as a settled policy* and that the vigor manifested will, not long continue, but, on the contrary,soon disap pear. Itis useless, they say, to attempt to en force these laws with such an extent of sea board, and that even if it could be done the offence which it would ; give to the people frenders their execution impos sible. The attitude of the legation plainly demonstrates that the English officials j consider that our present Cuban policy places the conduct of England towards us daring the late war in a very awkward. position.: There seems to he do doubt hut that England would be rejoiced to see the United States pursuing a similar neutral policy, at the present time, to the one which she followed during the re cent, civil war. ’■ There is reason to believe that the interview which lately took place between Minister Thornton and Minister Boberts was in rela tion to this subject, arid that the former en deavored, under instructions from the British Foreign Secretory,' to induce the Spanish Minister to make_no further calls upon the United States authorities to enforce the neutrality laws. On the other hand, the administration is ' well aware' that if these laws be strictly adhered to and vigorously exe cuted, England will he obliged to come soon to a just settlement of the Alabama claims. Senator Sumner, at the.beginning of the Cu ban troubles, foresaw what the result would, be ifthe administration did not take into con sideration the connection between the Cuban and English cases, and insisted upon the adop tjon of the very policy which novvi prevails. The Cuban Prisoners. f Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.] Kuw Yokk, July 2.—There is some conflict of authority between Marshal Barlow and Ad miral Gordon, the latter saying that he will no longer keep and feed the , Cuban filibusters, while Marshal Barlow says the Admiral .will have to keep them, because he (Mr. Barlow) cannot. ,/ Washington, July 2. —Becent advices ffom Cuban sources state that after tlieir recent re pulse, the Spanish forces in the Oirico Villas district were reinforced by two thousand men —regulars and volunteers—which increased: the government forces to nearly double that of the Cabans, and they were compelled to retreat. Several small bodies vyere captured by the Spaniards, one numbering eighty-five men. ''Among them were a number or Ameri cans,all of whom are reported to have been ex ecuted by order of General it is said, is the commander of the expedition—im mediately after tbeir capture. Nearly all the large plantations in the district have been de stroyed. It. is reported that the Cuban gene ral is concentrating his forces to meet this col umn under General Lesca, and that news of a decisive battle is expected every day. President Grant, in an interview to-day with Bepresentatives Clift and Edwgrd, Dr. Culver and others, of Georgia, remarked that haying appointed Postmasters for Augusta and Ma con, he was not disposed to change them un less the incumbents should prove incompetent.

When Judge Barnard was about to render his decision Mr. Phelps, in behalf of the prisoner, protested against the proceedings instituted for Ketchum’s release, and asked that the writ should be discharged and the prisoner re manded to prison. He said further that the prisoner considered the sentence just and de served, and he did not desire to avitil himself of a technicality to obtain liberty. Mr. Bart lett explained that he had sued out the writ at the request of the prisoner’s father. Judge Barnard said that, under the circumstances, but one course remained for him, which was to discharge the writ and remand the prisoner to the State Prison.

The most important matters to business men are the state of the relations with America on the Alabama question and the present con dition of France. The Alabama difficulty is not more threatening now than ft was a’ year- or two since; Johnson’s ne gotiations were not entirely futile.' They have demonstrated England’s willingness to make reasonable concessions. Henceforth it' will be imposnible to extract grievance from her acts or demeanor. The Americans feel. this, and at present] have no desire to push the question m a hostile manner. By the Cuba Cable. Havana, July 2.—lt is reported that the Catalonian volunteers, guarding the line of the Nuevitas railroad, mutinied and refused to guard the line, any longer.
