THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS
fo-day the Democracy of Philadelphia •are
expected. to complete the work of noininating
candidates fertile October election. Yester
day Hoii. Samuel J. Randall was nominated
0 . 2 . 4 re-election to. Congress in the First Dis
trict.-, But he will not have so easy a course to
run as he . had last time, as the Fifteenth
Amendment has given.the franchise to_ many
Men who will generally vote for Mr. Huckel,
the Republican candidate. Theodore .Cuyler,
Esq., was nominated in the Second District—
a very respectable choice;
. but the district, is
strongly 'Republican, and Hon. . Charles
015eill will be re-elected, as he deServes to be,
by a hamiCome majority. In the: Third
District, Dr. JONI I. Monet,- who • ran
against Hon. Leonard Myers at the last
election,.has been again nominated; but we
expect Mr. Myers to have a larger majority
than, before,. Which be deserves for the ability!
-and fidelity with which he has served his con
stituents. The Fourth District Convention,
after a protracted scene of disorder, broke up
*in a row, without making a nomination. For
'State Senator from -the Third 'districti-David
A. Nagle was re-nominated. The candidates for
thieffeek_o_f_Representatives, - as far as the
are made, are not better than usual, several of
the old "Ring" being again put in nomination.
The City and County officers will be nomi
nated to-day, probably in time for the regular
edition of the BULLETIN.
TH E NEW FRENCH MINISTER.
_ .
M. Prevost-Paradol, the new Minister from
France to the United States, is to embark from
_Havre on Friday, and will arrive in New York
within a fortnight. The Paris papers lately
arrived• have contained voluminous comments
upon his appointment, and the Republican
papers have been very severe upon him for
accepting office from a Government that be has
repeatedly criticised Kith much harshness.
One article is especially cited, which •he wrote
for the Cotiri•ier du Dimauche in the summer
of 4806, for which the paper Was suppressed by
decree of the Emperor, dated at Vichy, August
2d, - 1.860. The article is reprinted and made
.famous as " the stable boy article," or l'artiele
— du Talitirenier," from-the following passage:
" Fiance is a beautiful court lady, beloved
by the most gallant men, who has run away to
live with astable boy (un palefrenier.) She is
despoiled, beaten, debased more and more
every day. But it can't be. helped; she has
come to like it and cannot be wrested from her
unworthless lover."
This article was made the subject of a report
from M. de la Valette, the Minister of the
Interior, to the Emperor, and the decree
of suppression of the paper was at once
signed. The report. said " This detestable
picture of France humiliated,powerless,abased,
degraded every (lay, is at once an audacious
outrage on truth, a calumnious insult to the
country, an attack on the honor of the nation,
a shamelesS provocation to revolt, to sedition
and to the overthrow of our institutions awl
government." There was a good deal more of
the same sort of censure, and the wonder
among Frenchmen is that the writer of an article
tbat was_considered so outrageous and danger
ous by the Emperof should be selected for an
important foreign appointment, and also that
he should condescend to take office from " the
stable-boy." We confess there is a cause for
wonder of this kind. Bin whatever may have
brought about a reconciliation between the Em
peror and M. Prevost-raradol,the people of this
country know that -for the first time in many
yews France is to be represented in. Washing
ton by a man of first-rate ability, who is a
friend of the United States, and an ardent ad
mirer and defender of republican institutions.
THE WATER SUPPLY
The extraordinary, heat which has prevailed
for a week past, together with the fact that
the rain fall during the present mouth has
been very much smaller than during any cor
responding for the last few years, has excited
grave fears of another drouth. Of course
these indications cannot be considered re
liable, and it may be that we shall have . a very
wet summer; but the chances are equal that
the water supply will be as scant as it was last
year. in that event the sufferings of the com
munity will_ be great as they were then ;
and even greater, if the. Navigation Company
chooses to protect its own interests without re
gard to the wants of our citizens. For such an
emergency the authorities have made no provi
sion whatever. A couple of turbine wheels
have been erected' at Fairmount; but as these
require an expenditure of from ten to fifteen
gallons of water to raise one gallon they will
be utterly useless in time of drouth unless the
Navigation Company consents to draw down its
dams. The severe experience of last summer
provoked a universal demand for the construc
tion of a steam engine which should bC em
ployed to turn the turbine wheels when water
is scarce. After all the fault that was found
with the Water Department; the plainly inani
feat importance of such .a precaution; the ex
pense incurred' - by the city iri contesting the,
suits of the Navigation. Company, and the ae.
iinowledgmept,of the fact that we' are at the
mercy of that corporation in times of drouth, it
would be thought that no further • argument
Would have been needed to indiice intelligent
men to adopt the only course which would
protect the city in the future. But
'be winter was permitted to pass
- by --- , without -__ruiythlng being none,
_.._and-
here we are with another drouth threatening
us, and, the comfort and health of nearly a
bILLIALI beings in Jeopardy. Preccly
. 77
by cents per
where' the responsibility for this outrageous
neglect bercqgs it is.difficult to tell.;, 'out .we
may saythat,ire :believe ..couacfik,iyould , have
supplied 'I4W Graeli ,with,money to procure ,
steam engine if 'he ehad declared the urgent
need,of z such.,an .apprqpriation, The amount
required weilld not be very great; hutt
if a conmetenteng,ine' cost half a Million dol
lars, and there was not another drouth for ten
years, th 6 investment ba profitable-and
should have been made. 'There can be no ex
cuse for this megleet ; it is simply unpardenaole
and outrageous. - If the - apprehended drouth
comes, the responsibility will be fixed with ab
solute definiteness, and the guilty official or
of will have to encounter a very unplea
sant expression of
,popular indignation.
SUMMER It ESORIVI
Persons who intend to leave the city for the
summer, or for the purpose of taking a brief
holiday, can obtain frorn our advertising
columns some suggestions as:to the best places
of resort, the best routes and the most Com
fortable hotels.. It is worth while to accept
hints upon this - subject and to determine
finally before leaving home upon the advant
ages, and
, attractions of the various routes, lo
calitieS and' caravanseries. For those who '
desire to view the matchless scenery 'of this
State, the North Pennsylvania. Railroad and its
connections undoubtedly-offer unsurpassed op
portunities.' :The wild and rugged scenery of
the Lehigh Valley can be reached in two
hours ; and those who have never visited the
legion will be surprised and pleased at its ma
jestic beauty and infinite variety. Bethlehem,
Mauch Chunk and the -Switchback Railroa,d,
and the lovely Wyoming Valley,eMitrasting in
its soft outlines with the bolder scenery of the
Lehigh; are all accessible by this route: From
Wilkesbarre the new railroad _ stretches up to
Waverly, following the tortuous course of the
North Susquehanna, and forming a quick route
to Niagara-Falls- and- Canada. - - -
On the line of the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, Cresson Springs, situated on the very
summit of- the Allegheny mountains, is a fa. 7
mous-pliCeof.-resort,.and.the Xounthin_House,
is well-knoWn as anadrairable hotel. -The
Broad Top Mountain
_House, also upon the
-mountaini;a-short-distairce-from-Huntingilcm,--
is also a very desirable place for those who de
sire
to enjoy the comforts of life among wild
and beautiful 'scenery: Nearer tome, upon
the Reading and Columbia Railroad, are the
Ephrata Mountain Springs, in LancaSter
county, well-known and popular as a comforta
ble stopping place for summer tourists, from
the superior natural advantages afforded by
their location and the excellence of the hotel
accommodations. On the Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad the . Renovo_House, at . Renovo,
upon the bank of the SUsquehanda, -deserves
special mention for its general attractions and
its vicinity to first-rate trout-fishing.
Along the Reading Railroad the places of
resort are very numerous ; nearly all of them
are good, and the charges are moderate. Among
the best are :.the Mansion House, Mt. Carbon;.
the -Tuscarora Hotel,-Schitylkill county ; the
Mansion House, Mahanoy City; Mount Car-.
mei House, Northumberland county ; the
White House, Andalusia Hall and Central
- Avenue Hall, Berks county ; • Spring Mill
Heights, Conshohocken; Boyertown Semi
nary, Berks county; Lit,FE - Springs, Lancaster
county; Living Springs Hotel, Berks county;
Cold Springs Hotel, Lebanon county; Perkio
men Bridge Hotel, Montgomery county, and
.theHotity House, Shamokin, Northumberland
county. The Reading Railroad Company
sells excursion tickets to all these places,
good for the same day issued, and on 'Satur
days good until Monday.
Those who desire to go a greater distance
from the city, will find a first-class hotel and a
delightful situation at Chittenango, White 'Sul
phur Springs, Madison county, New York, ac
.cessible by Hudson River Railroad from New
York city.
Of course the majority of persons who have
but a week or two at their command, as Well as
many who spend the summer away from home
will choose the two favorite sea-side cities,
Cape May and Atlantic City. At the former
place there are plenty of good hotels, the best
being the following: CongreSs Hall, recently
enlarged and improved until it is equal to any
watering place hotel in the country ; the Stock
ton House, a magnificent hotel, kept in superb
ityle ; the Columbia House, which m ikes
specialty of entertaining family parties iir the
I best style; the Atlantic Hotel, which has been
rebuilt and is now in first rate order, and the
Nrational Hall, which bus no 'bar-room, but is a
quiet, orderly hotel, with comfortable accom
modations. ee°
At Atlantic City the Surf House will main
tain its deserved reputation as a fine hotel. Its
situation is superb, and its accommodations arc
equal to the best. The United StateS Hotel
also ranks in the first class. It remains with
Messrs, Brown & Woelpper, who have . con
ducte d it in a most enterprising manner for
years past. And finally, Schautler's Hotel de
mands mention as an unexceptionably good
house. those Who desire to ite : e
fro n the heat of the city certainly can make a
Cb ice. All the places mentioned are worth a
Ti t, while some of them offer attractions that
cannot be surcassed on this continent.
TUE INCOME TAX.
In Senator Scott's excellent speech again
the Income Tax, the full text of which has jus
reached us, occurs a passage which the tele
graphic summaries omitted:' It is as follows :
Has there been a petition presented—if so,
I , have not heard it—for the reimposition of
the income tax? I have beard many of them
presented against its reimposition. I have pre
sented many of them myself, though I do not
know why it is that the reports of the, Associated
!ices, as a general rule, do not contain the presen
tation of these petitions, especially when they come
front Philadelphia. !I do not know why that is;
but I have presented many of them ; and from
the rural counties of my Commonwealth
have received very many letters, all asking me
that this to shall be removed; while I have
not received ono for its reimposition."
In the passage italicized we have a distinct
charge . made by a Senator against the New
- York Atisociated Press, which charge has not
been and :..carinot . te denied. - In more :ways
than this do the reports of the New York.con
cern at Washington fail to do jtistite, eSpecially
where Philadelphia and Pennsylvania are con
cerned.
It is announced this morning that Princess
Aletternicli has had a daughter. A,few weeks ago
the Associated Press announced that this'iti
fant would
,be a 'Li' son and heir. This is re
gards& as another defeat of the Now York
monopoly.

Tr ESPAY, June 28,--Wall street markets underwent a
eudden change in speculative sentiment, and after open
ing weak and unsettled closed earwig and fairly active.
The early newspaper reports containing the ,full-details
of the Currency Midas agreed upon by .the- Conference'
Committer, following the sharp decline of the previous
day, led to a. sensitive Market et.' the opening
of business and prices fell below even the
lowest of - the previous day. Later - ,fid . the .forenoon
telegrams from 'Washington prophesie I in most posi
tive terms that not only would the bill bedefeated in the:
House, ' where it wan especially objectionable to the
Weetern Members, but that no currencY hill or financial
measure of any character could be -agreed upon at so
late a day in the 'eession. Whatever the future may
bring forth it is very certain that the critic prepositions
contained in the pending bill will be its own
defeat practically: In' the, place it does not
-declare in What manner. Secretary of
the Treagury 61.1811 redeem the - three
per Cents., and again it makes the - proposed new issue of
national bank notes redeemable In . gold - .coin. This
latter feature ham been generally overlooked. Of course, ,
mo long es there is a premium of IA little 48.enly one per
cent.'on gold the notes would not come into general cir
culation. It le very certain thstwittr the popular esti,
nankin of the national banks no man would exchange
hie gold for their notes when the option is afforded him
to take his gold to the United States SubrTreisuries
and there obtain gol certificates or "yellow backs."_
This feature alone would render • the law practically in
operative until specie payments were generally and fix
edly resnued. In fact the bill is much a mere "dummy'
' — for a bill that we are only strengthened in our belief
that the existing national banks. jealous eViteep
ing their present privileges, have been amusing
Congress with It in expectation of di
verting to it all the • financial buncombe of.. that
body, and thus preventing the enactment of any
inenion
thing dangerous. In these days the members of
Congress are under the necessity of going upon the
record ill sorne shape constituenciescon ancial
in order to please their The national
bank lobbyists have afforded them a vent for this desire
by letting them agitate an innocuous and innocent
measure. ' The upshot of it all will be that Congress
will adjourn next month and the national banks will go
on as before, serene in the enjoyment of the remunera
tive privileges conferred by the banking law, which al
lows them six per cent gold interest

The decine In gold, by arresting the shipments of pro-
duce and coltton, and consequ.ently diminishing the snp
ply of commercial bills on the market, had had the effect
of - enabling ttYvankersto-ativaneethe-ratesof-ex—

fur the reason that they look for large shipments of

proportion of the intered due to European bondholders "
has been sent over to them, at their request, In m ore

with the expected defeat of the Currency and Funding
hills this session. induced the shorts to cover, and gold
ran up to 111%---a movement all the more remarkable
that Assistant Treasurer Edger commenced to , day the
payment of the Julygold interest , and by the close of
hnsinetet hours had disbursed $2,407.028 For a little
while in the afternoon there was a stampede among the
bears to corer their contracts, and the market at times
was rather excited.
In the gold loan market the rates were 1 and 4 per
cent. for carrying and fiat. one per cent.. two per cent.
and 144 for borrowing.. The_European steamer took
$17.000 in specie.

prices of provisions are increasing, slowly
perhapS, but steadily. Meat in' Spain is only
half as: dear as in England, and yet there are.
—few well-to.do— , irtiszurs_wkociin afford
meat more than once a fortnight, while
men of the same 'class in England eat meat
