Chinese fleet, and were occupyingCunton when
the last advices left Hong Kopg. r The London
Times, with moro moderatibn’ than it some
times displays, recommends that, having shown
their power, the British should make no fur
ther hostile demonstration against China. If
■»4S'Stated, i *bto'btlrdn ago,- thatLord'Etatn’s
private instructions . bound; him not to enter
into any treaty-With China, until after he had
■ been personally rec'Civod by the Emperor.' 1 He
jrrny or niky not obiain bn audience, butitmay
be safely propbecied that,, under any circum
stances, phina will not be let off lightly. After
the last war,’ the complaint, in England was,
that the British negotiator? ware'content with
such , a miserable and ■ unhealthy place as
Hong Kong, when they ,* might easily have
retained possession of Chusan,- a large
island, admirably situated for Commerce, With
beantliUl climate, a fruitful soil, and numerous
fine harbors. T/iis lime, ‘wo bre confident,
England wIU use her position for the purpose
bf aggrandizement. The wedge is W.,,
The foreign policy bf England has far too
frequently been aggressive. In Asia, where
fob inhabitants ale generally not belligerents,
this has especially; been the'casei From the
mariner In which the Hindoos permitted their
country to be gradually taken from them, it
long,bps been foe belief .'among British states
men arifi publicists, that those countries which
are.riebrHindostbn—viz: the BurinanEmpire,
SiUm; Cochin China, and China proper—might
be; and ought' £0 hej secured by
some meaU3.,. Whero the state is mighty, they
purchase (ch’eatihg as . they bargain, as much
,as if they Wooden butmegs,) when
it is defenceless they foully and plunder. For,
aSSnbtr,Er said, England everlias been—
, , .'. ‘‘A onward to the strong ,
... ~A,»yfanftoth 1 e | we<ik“’'.
. 1 There is a little fable, among those attributed
tojASsop, which seems applicable here, as
showing iiow.re’adily England can find, or make,
excuse for warfhre, when territory is to be
gained by conquest.’ A wolf and a lamb
drank at the same stream, and the wolf com
,plained;that; tho' ;lCmb .’muddied the water.
“Holy bsimthai he ?” said‘ thh.lamb, “you are
übove me; foe;water,flows from you to me,
and ,it is. you ..who muddy it.” The - wolf
snarled out; “I do not care whether you'do it
of no—-I dare Say some of your family havb
done it at Bome foiling 1 pn. the lamb as.
,ho foo sentence. .
Thiaappliespretty exactly to the way in which
England comJrienced the war with Chins. -The
trade of foteigh'iiatibris with’the Chinese had
been dnjy permlssiye foWcentiiriCs. Tiiey con
descended to, trado:\vith;tbo,“outsido barba
dians,” limiting their. access to a 'few ports,
and most strictly forbidding their travelling
through tho country. ’ Embassies from Europe
wore taroij received by thoEmperdr, and even
then,] with .'circumstances .of, .such marked hu
miliation,'that two ambassadors returned to
England without having even. obtained a sight
of'“the'lmperial Brother of-the Sun and
M’opri.”, ‘As tlie trade with-China was, lucra
]tiye‘j, foe British merchants,, who enjoyed the
largest ,portion of it, submitted .to .numerous
restrictions'and indignities, rather, than give
up thegain. the importation of opium
: into' China, where that dangerous drug was in
great request, the prohibition/was not strin
geni. The East Ipdia.Company, .notwithstand
ing,.pCrmitted.opium to, be: largely produced
in lndia, drawing; a heavy revenue from that
production, andsanctlriried Its‘exportation’to
China.' The authorities at Canton made pro
tests, stronger and stronger, year after year,
against this opium smuggling. All was without
effect, the trade being very profitable.
, : At last; by coinmafid bf Commissioner Lin,
Captain Elliott, the British tirade-superin
tendent, and several British merchants at Can
tonj wereaeizod,' and tli o' surrender, of a largo
quantity of opium, .known to boiin,store, ur
gently • demanded! ■ Lin, wks ,firm, and, after
some delay, opium to foe value of $15,000,000
was,given up’ to the Chinese' authorities and
jjebtroypd ,by, ,|hem.,. Mere ] wqs' a 'seizure of.
smuggled goods, followed by their ppnflscatlon

warned of tfie copaequences—England \yai In

Bowbino, Governor, CppunahderTn-chief, and

waged war with foe Chinese, and; after nume
rous contests ’at and near Cantpn, some
months ago, that city has again been taken by
the. Ehglish; after thq-'dostfuction’pf the Chi

Ohlna bears scarcely any relation to tho con
temptible occnrrenco which Sir John Bowuino
—who, oddly enough, is Vico President of the
Peace Society in England—chose to aggravate
into a corns belli. It is 'not denied, by tho
English Government, that Lord Elqin is to
make a new treaty; giving the English increas
cd privileges and territory in China. History
records how British India, from an equally
smalt beginning, was oxtended, by annexation,
to lb present gigantic dimensions.
. In truth, England is an. annexing power.
Very difteront is the policy of the United
Statos. The ruling principle of that policy,
(as laid down'by ANDhhw Jackson, in 1836,
whCn Texas, struggling into freedom, entreated
to be taken into, our family of Statos,) respects
tho comity of nations; and is wholly against
what is called filibusterism; ;In 18,87, the, in
dependence of Texas,was acknowledged; in
1840, the European powers recognized it as a
republic, bnt not until 1846 was Texas, on her
own strongest solicitation, admitted into the
.Union., -
Again, the war with Mexico wasundertaken,
not for-conqnest or annexation, but because
the national honor .had been; insulted and in

it was due to them that reparation should bo
made. ‘That war concluded with the defeat ~of
Mexico. It would have been easy to have an

THE STEAM-PROPELLER SLOOP OP WAR.
Proposals have been issued by the Navy
Department, for the building by private con
tract, of one of thq aix PropeUer Stoops ofvyar,
•authorized ‘by Congress. ’ 'As it should he; the
Department has only given the number of rnenj
number of guns, weight of stres, &c., the ship.
,ls to carry, leaving the plan of construction,
kind of material, and al) else relating to her to
the taste and judgment of the contractor. 1 .
■ Complaints have been made for some time
in and out of Congress that the naval construc
tion, equipment &c., of our national vesselßWis
behind the age, and that better and cheaper
vessels could be built by private contract than
bytho government. An opportunity" is now
afforded tp test the accuracy of these opinions
,by giving foil scope to all of our ship builders
to purpose any plan oi construction and-any
kind of material they may fancy.
-A diversity’of ophiion lias long existed in
and out of* the Navy, as regards the pro
priety of building our national vessels of live
oak, and other very 4“r»We ivith
a view, to their long-continued existence. Tho
cost of repairs to this class of vessels has been
belioved by many to be far greater than it
would be to supply their places by new vessels
of less durability and less costly but equally
strong materials. By this course, every eight
or ten years the Navy would have the 'benefit
of any improvement on construction that may
have been made, and would always have new
vesseis.instead of old ones. As an argument
in foror of this plan, it Is said that the cost of
re-building or repairing our national ships at
the end of six or eight years, built as they
have been, with live oak, is generally greater
than the first cost of tho ship. Itis also said
that, 1 if built of white oak, 'pine, Sec., they
would be much lighter and better sailers- On
the, othpr hand,, it is asserted that ships of
large size, built of other than live oak, and
strong material, will not be of sufficient
strength (o resist the shocks war-vessels are
liable to, and that the live oak has the approval
of experience. Of the soundness of these
opinions we are not capable of judging, and
only offer them as suggestions to those builders
who. may feel disposed to offor for tho job.
, ,Let all our constructors offer other plans;
let the best one be adopted; or if thore are
more, than one that shall command the appro
val of the Navy department, let there two or
more selected, country may be satis
fied that a fair opportunity has been offered to
test tho skill of its naval architecture; and
that a ship or ships may bo sent out to the
world of which the navy and the country may
justly bo proud—ships that will add to the
already high character of both our navy and
.mercantile marine. ,
' THE MISSOURI ELECTION
The interest which has been excited by the
peculiar character of the recent contest in Mis
souri for Governor has not abated since it has
been ascertained that tho result is exceedingly
doubtfol. Roukbt M. Stbwaht is .the regular
Democratic candidate, James S. Hollins the
independent candidate supported by Ameri
cans, emancipationists; BentonmCn etc., etc.
The policy of opposing the Democratic Can
didate by fusion is not anew one. It has been
elsewhere trledandhas occasionllay succeeded.
Every conceivable «m seems to have been en
gaged in this struggle. Somo voted for EoUin’B
because ho belonged to the especial American
order, some because he was opposed to the
Democracy, some because they expected to
moke Missouri a free State, and others still on
account of pecuniary- interests. It is manifest
that should Rollins be elected it cannot bean
indication in favor of any special organization.
The St. Louis Republican, an Old Lino
"Whig journal, which has advocated the election
of the Democratic candidate with extraordi
nary ability, does not, however, give up the
election. . .
- In order to place on record that portion of
the history of this extraordinary contest, qrhlch
explains the attitude of the opposition to the
Democracy, beaded by RoulinS, wo givb his
speech, on Saturday, foo lat pf Augfist, phot
to the election which i<K>fc place ofoMomfoy
the Bd. !
“ Now, in regard to my opinion upon the subject
Of ‘emancipation,’ I hear it said occasionally tbit
Missouri is destined to be a free State. Very well,
I am in favor of leaving that question to pigbor
than hnman laws, and I am'in favor of aubraitiiug
thbt quostlon to 1 the laws of climate, of ©migration,
of labor, and of production, whioh, ; first or last,
affects the destinies of man and commonwealths,
and to the oloar , guidance of Him who does ati
things well. (Marks of enthusiasm.] ,
“Now, I am in favor of encouraging labor 1
In th© State; protecting-the labor or this gre4W
city, and of the entire commonwealth in which ire
live. I am in favor of Inviting and encouraging
emigration to the State of Missouri from every
part. (Cheers.] . t . .
“Isay, let us throw wide open our doom and
invito .here men of the North, of the South, and
men of ever/tongue and kindred upon the in
habitablo globe. Invite them here to cultivate
our prairies, to tiU our land, to aid in developing
our mineral resources, and to aid us in filling up
our groat cities, ’ and fn' making Missouri the
proudest and noblest Commonwealth in this sister
nood of Statos; arid If, mv-friends, this cordial
system of emigration from North fnd South—if, I
say, this emigration in' the course of years brings
.about such a disproportion between the white and
'the blaok races that it is no longer the interest of
the people of the State Of Missouri to continue it
a riavo State, I say, ‘then let it go.’ [Tremendous
ohoers.J
“These are my opinions, my friends. I hido
them from no one, l do not wish to war with 1 a
man, however, because he differs with me upon the
subject. Ido not wish to war, with a man because
ho is an emancipationist. That is the best and tho
wisest policy. My opinion is, that in consequence
of tho agitation that sueh a question will awaken
in the State, and in consequence of the fact that
we have not a very large slave population in Mis
souri ; in consequence of the fact that wo occupy a
high northern latitude hero; in consequence pf the
foot that the disproportion between the white and
black raoeti is becoming greater and greater; and
of the fact that in course of time, in ten, twenty,
or fifty years, most probably, it will become the
interest of tho elavoholdor himself to stay the our-’
rent 6f slave population in the State of Missouri,
that it is better to do without this Institution; I
say that in consequence of all these laws, and con
siderations and causes now operating, it would bo
best to lot this question alone.”
From tho above it will be soon that Mr. Rol
lins shied tho emancipation issue, as he did al
others; and should he get into position, being
himself a large slaveholder, wo have little
doubt that the emancipationists will be as
much disappointed as any other branch of his
supporters.
We notice that a statement is extensively
published to the effect that some of tho coins
issued by the United States Mint, at Phila
delphia, particularly the new cents, are of
light weight. The Public Ledger of Saturday
having contained the extract alluded to, fur
nished its readers yesterday with the following
fill! refutation of the charge:
Wp hnvo been furnißbod by th© Dlrootor of the
Mint with some important foots in relation to coin
age, whioh explains the oausa of . variation in
weight, and exculpates the, officers of the institution
from conßuro, which tho article published inthe
Ledger of Saturday, extracted from a Now York
paper, iiupoftohing more especially the late issues
of the cent coin, attempts to fasten on them. Under
the most rigid cases, variations in the weight of
individual coins from the exact standard must no
oesaarily take place, and such variations are pro
vided,for in the laws regulating the standard.. In
tho gold coins, the admitted variations are from
one-quartor to ono-half a grain in single pieces,
according to va|uo; in the silver,, from onc-balf; to
one and a half grains, according to tho value of
tho piece. For too new cent ooin, four grains va
riation are allowed by law in the single piece. The
necessity of suoh allowances arises from the inhe
rent imperfeotion of all machinery and mechanical
operations, so that it is impracticable that the discs
of metal snail bo prepared foi an exact and uni
form weight. In the case of gold ooins this result
is subsequently obtained by weighing and adjust
ing coon pieuo separately, discarding those too
light; but with the siivor, and.a fortiori with the
copper coins, suoh separate weighing and adjust
ments‘is out of the question. If it should be
observed then that some of the' silver or cent coins
vary the exact standard, this is no
more than tlio law admits, within the limits
mentioned. The newspaper article whioh in
duces these remarks, states that the oent ooins
were “of short .weight, - equal in some oafces
oases to fivo per cent; out even this, whioh is men
tioned as an extreme case, falls short of the legal
allowance, whioh Is over five and a half per cent.
It is undoubtedly the duty of tho Mint to issue tho
coins with as lit tie variations from the standard as
practicable. With regard to the gold coins, this
end it known to bo accurately attained by the ac
tual weighing of each piece separately, and by
weighing the picoos in moos. A similar result is
. atmuoain regard to the silver ooins, in the average
of pieces, by frequent and daily -tests of their
weight, separately and in mass. Within the last
three months, the mint has issued about forty-three
tons of cents, composed of 8,000,000 pieces, ta&mi
factored from an i alloy never before used in coin
age ; and in this Urge amount a variation from the
exaot standard Of less than of the allow
ance fixed by law has been found. . Further exne
rlanos Will oanse. even this small jvariation to dis
appear. . -.- "> J . .■ -

Mr, Editor
I long had thought, my youthful friend,
A something to have sentyou,
Tho’ it should serve no other end,
Than just a kind memento :
I avail myself, therefore, of a quiet hoar, before
retiring to my cottage eot, to sketch in an inarti-
So lal form, a few of the attractions.of this deser
vedly favorite resort, and to suggest to your ex
tended circle of Philadelphia subscribers, that if
they would inhale, in all its purity—the light ex
hilarating our unequalled Pennsylvania
mountains, and rusticate amid the charming scene
ry afforded by the richest agricultural country in
the State, this is the spot to which they should re
sort.
Geographically speaking, this place Is situated
on the pocaiioo Ridge, Lancaster county, some
thing less than sixty miles West of your hospita
ble home. It is one thousand feet above tide-water,
commanding an extended view of the luxuriant
hills and valleys of the adjacent counties, and in
tho dim dDtance, towards the Sunny South, Fort
Gibson looms up Us commanding hoighi.
The house is most judiciously constructed on an
admirable site, and there is a not point on any of
the spacious verandas which surround it from whioh
the prospeot is not grand and beautiful. The
walks and drives diverging from this contro of, at
traction are numerous, and delightful; each pre
senting some distinctive form of nature’* loveli
ness, utility, or grandeur. .
The sylvan petit whioh winds up towards the
summit of the mountain beside the rippling stream!,
which glisten in the particles of light admitted
through gently waving trees, or over the rude
bridges and capacious rustic arbours which are
thrown aortas them, aflbrdsto thd lovers of romance
the greatest attractions of the plaoe, and ever and
aqou the merry ring of joyous laughter, or thesweqt
echo of some lovely melody Is heard resounding
through the hills. Here, too, upon the Christian
Sabbath, many devout ones may bo found tracing
their way to some secluded spot, where they may
offer up their meed of praise and gratitude to the
Divine dispenser of all good and perfect gilts, and
humbly invoke Hlo blessings on themselves, and
those sojourning with them for the time to come.
Not that this primitive formof worship is preferred
: to rogular church service in a sanctuary dedicated
for that purpose; but in the absence of sueh an one,
’tls felt He will respect the humblest altars reared
by pure devotion to His name.
Immediately beyond the beauteous Conestoga
Creek, which crosses the turnpike half a mile
above this house, the Beventh Day BaptDts have
their seat, and gloomy indeed is the spectacle
presented to tho curious gate of those who visit
their establishment. The large frame building
wßloh tho males and females separately qccupV, ;
are dilapidated in tho extreme; the cooking uten
sils and domestic arrangements generally are pf
the rudest forms; the different apartments, down
to the rude chapel itself, emit the musty and op
pressive atmosphere of long-deserted tenements,
and the two aged men and five deorepid women
who make cheap mats and baskets which thoy sell
to visitors, are the only members of this eccentric
and onoe numerous sect that, still, survive and oc
cupy the narrow rooms. Unique grave-stones (n
their well-filled adjoining burial ground, yet de
signate the rosting place of some who died more
than. a century ago. Everything about the pre
mises is going to doc&y, and the hoarse frogs upon
the meadows seem to wail forth an ominous dirge
as harbingers,of .d^atp.
A delightful drive of seven miles brings one to
. Litis, a noat, Moravian village, of about five hun
dred souls. Two spacious seminaries and a hand
some church, whioh they are now enlarging, add
much to tho appearance of the place.
A peouliar feature of the tenure, of property in
this village, which existed from its formation, more
than a century ago up to a reoent date, woa this,
that the land was all holO by the soolety whlph
founded it. . None but Mjravians were permit
ted to livo there; and none had a foe simple title
iu the soil; so that in the ©vent of Impropriety of
oonduot on tho part of any one holding a loose 'of
tho ground on whioh his houso was built, tho value
of his improvement was assessed by referees mutually
chosen, tho amount of their award paid by the
sooioty, who thereupon annulled the loose, and the
delinquent was compelled to leave. This strjot
arrangement has however boon abolished, and now,
any persons of whatever creed may purchase
property and live there.

crystal, whioh forms a pretty lake, and thence Sows
softly down between its verdant banks, o’erahadowed
by a double row of waving, weeping willows. i
A sunset viewed from the Observatory is as grand
and gorgeous as a moonriso is sublime. Few who
have thus seen tho sun go down, and paused aloft
amid the twilight dews, while fades the glimmering

Important Decision of the Secretary of the

* Washington, August 10, 1857.—The act ofl&rthS,
1851, authorising the appointment of four appraisers at
large—one of which was stationed at Boston, one at
New York, one at Philadelphia, and one at Baltimore—
since which time two hare been added : one at New Or
leans, aud one at San Pranciseo. Their duty is to risit
distant points, and when so engaged their actual travell-
Ing expenses are paid. The act establishes their com
pensation at twenty-fire hundred dollars per annum, and
,th«lr actualtrayeUJpg ~ to be regulated
by the Secretary of the Treasury. ” Under this act Mr.
Corwin, While Secretary of the Treasury, allowed them,,
as actualtrarelling expenses, ten centapermile for erery
mile travelled, and two dollars per day for every day they
were absent from the post at which'they were stationed.
In addition to their annual salary. This regulation was
acquiesced In by Mr. Guthrie. Mr. Cobb has, however,
felt it to be his duty to limit their. compensation for
travelling expenses, as will be seen by the following
letter, either to ten cents a mile, or to their actual ex
penses as shown by vouchers :

To the Editor of the Treks-.
Norristown, Pa., Aug. Bth, 1857.
The Press, of August 5 th, reports a discovery of
Professor Pieroe, of Cambridge University s By
philosophical inductions, a priori, I found the
some facts. Your article was too brief to become
fully aware of the theoretical inferences of Profes
sor Pieroe, but they seeui to differ essentially from
my premises, and to enter for the present less into
the details and connections of oauses and effects.
A volume in German (a copy of which I forwarded
to Prof. Pieroe,) containing my theory and other
matters, or discoveries, perhaps of some interest,
was published; a few days ago, by F. W. Thomas,
Fourth street, near OalloWhiU, Philadelphia.
Yours, rcapectfully, O. Reichkhsach.
Postage Stamps will not he Redeemed.
Assistant Postmaster General Horatio King, in
an answer to an inquiry as to whether the Depart
ment is coder obligation to redeem stamps, if re
quested) replies, that “there is no provision what
ever in the act of March 3d, 1851, authorising their
provision a* ourreuoy: nor U th’erej for that reason,
aoy provision for their redemption by tip Depart
ment, where, by such use, they accumulate in in
convenient quantities in , individual hands. It
persons receive them as remittance, they must
roly for reimbursement on the sale of them, ouen
has been the invariable tenor of the instructions
given to Postmasters by the Postmaster General,
aud I am now direoted to say that it is deemed in
expedient to change them.”
Mr. John Trapp, a young man living about
five miles West or Milledgeville, was struck by
lightning on last Friday afternoon and instantly
killed.
ever nod his
head er recognised by anj'tdgnal, any person in a
passing omnibus, as suchfecognition will be taken j
by the driver as c bint te stop.
, Passengers should always go towards the head of
the omnibus, as-others enter, unless those entering
are ladies, who should always take those seats near
the head of the omnibus; this prevents gentlemen
from soiling their dresses with their feet as they
pass in or out.. ~ , f j 4 t /
Gentlemen near the opening, when the fare Js
paid, should always hand up ihe fare for those at a
distance, and with it h6ld up fchs ntiniW of fingers
for the driver to see how many fores are paid.
All children over six years old should be paid
for, and, whenever there are more than one for
each passenger,'less than this age, they should
also be paid for as fail passengers, only children,
less than six years old, kept in the lap, should go
free. All baskets or packages, other than these
that are carried on the lap, should go on the top of
the omnibus—not in it.
The Vender at the Stand . There are
changes all around—changes in the structures built
to outlast the age—changes everywhere along the
s treets—ch anges in the rushing crowd that moTes
so wildly past. Life’s fitful fever, is made up of
rapidly revolving transitions; but change, as all
things may, around, here is something fixed.
Seated behind the old table, with ite small supply
of apples, cakes, peanuts, and other luxuries for
juveniles, with her back against the damp wall, is
the old vender. For long years the same features
have looked forth from under the faded bonnet, as
it rises above the well-worn shawl opon the shrink
ing shoulders. How many have seen her as they
crowded along ? Upon how many has her noteless
glanoe fallen ? The boys call her the “bid apple
woman,” and so men term her too, who bocght the
tempting fruit when they themselves were .boys.
A land-mark unremoved! None, however; of your
shrivelled Small weeds, who sit at the firesidelike
“grim sentinels, long forgotten at their posts by
the black sergeant Death.” A genial age lasers
—a something pleasant as a son’s ray upon a win
try waste. The years seem to stand stQl with* her
and with us, as we gaze upon her, for in oar eye
is the picture which brings back, a* yesterday, the
long ago. Here is the most familiar face, and yet
the least known. The passing world first saw her
at the apple-stand, and its last glanoe will fiber her
there. Her story is a tale untold. - If round her
once were the rosy dreams of-youth, -they had no
prophetie vision of the long hours at the old stand,
and they belong not to It.\ Thereare now no bright
dreams to fade—no fair bbpas to be loetin shadows
—yet, anon, there will come a fading gjwfr a shadow.
She will go as noiselessly from her accustomed place
as she came. A glance may be curt upon the change
the old stand has at length known ; bnt she, so
long unchanged, will hare known a greater,—and
it may then be written: .
“Of no distemper, of no blast she died,
But fell like autumn fruit that mellowed long,
Even wondered at because she dropped no sooner;
Fate seemed to wind her up for four score years,
Yet freshly ran she on ten winters more,
Till, like a clock worn out with eating time,
The wheels of weary life at last stood still.”
“ Union” County Convention* —The delegates
to the County American. Republican “ Union”
Convention met, pursuant to adjournment, yester
day afternoon, at the County Court - House. The
inolement weather, the slim attendance, the sor
rowful countenances of the delegates, with other
disparaging circumstances, conspired to render the
general appearance of matters and' things inside
the Court room decidedly gloomy. About twenty
minutes after the specified time, 2 o’clock, the
Convention was called to order, and the delegates
requested to take seats. The President stated that
a quorum was present, although several, members
doubted the assertion, and desired that die roll
Bhould be called,' This request was not complied
with. One Of the Secretaries/ with a remarkably
weak voice, read the minutes of the lasi meeting,
but in so inaudible a tone, ihat he,was frequently
interrupted by cries of “ loader, louder!” When
he had finished, the President said that if there
were no objections to the minutes, they would stand
approved. Several gentlemen said they liad not
heard the rotouJw read, and they were accordingly
re-read by the otter secretary, Hr.. Finletierj and
approved without amendo^nt.
Several communications were read and laid on
the table, among which was one from Alexander
Henry, withdrawing his name from the list of
nominees for Judge of the Court of Common PleaA;
one from Albert. G. Rowland, withdrawing his
name from the list of nominees for Recorder. 6f
Deeds, and OJt9 from James. Cooper, withdrawing
his name from the list of nominees for Senator.
A motion was made, and agreed to, that each
delegate, as his name was called, should fot
ward to the Secretary’s desk and pay |$ eobt*.—
Some little opposition was manifested on account
of the imposition of this tax, but we believe that
a majority of those present paid the assessment
without any considerable grumbling. ■ I
A motion wag S>ads to proceed to the of
candidates, to be supported at the approaching
election, and was agreed to.
Oa the fixsftbaUot, Robert T. Conrad received Use
nomination for AssosUto Judge of the Coart of
Common Plus. ,
Plre ballet* were had for a candidate tor Bf
oorder of Deeds, andßobertD. Wilkinson was de

Edwin T. Chase was nominated on the first ballot
tor Prothonotory of the District Court.
John S. Keyser was nominated on the first ballot
for Clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions.
For Coroner, Darid B. Beitler, of the Ninth
Ward, was nominated on the second ballot.
At this point a motion was made to adjourn, ad
after an unparliamentary debat* of nearly an hear,
it was lost, the Republican members voting against
it, and the Americans in fetor. A ballot was then
taken for a State Senator, amid much riTiitcihnrt.
and confusion. There being ho choice, the motion
to adjourn was renewed, and the Convehtictt then
adjourned to suet on Monday afternoon next, at 3
o’olock. -•
J Haute of Refuge/or Lot! Child/en.—We

probably not more then fifteen feet in length, and
about half aa wide, and universally pronounced,
by all those who have visited It, to he entire!? too
small for thft purposes to whiohitift applied. It Is
well known that this central station la tilt most
important of onr local agenoies; and when wo
take into consideration the fact, that those in
quest of stray animals and vehicles, or lost chil

an alteration and extension of it are absolutely re
quisite for their accommodation. On a nnmher of
occasions recently, we hare Dottocd sereral lost

house in the neighborhood might easily be pro
cured where these children could be placed, until
called for by their friends of relatives, and where
propor eare and attention might be prpreised to

which the day and night operators are kept con
stantly employed in sending and receiving messa

expenditure of money. . ,
Dull. —The term dull but poorly represents
the condition of the news market yesterday. The
police returns made by the Lieutenants of the dif

nothing except a few cases of drnnkenneai and
