THE TRUE REMEDY
The banks have suspended specie payments,
and have invoked the Governor to cull a
session of the Legislature to grant, them
relief, and he has done. tie... This 'much is
known. But it is not known- why: the banks
of Philadelphia and of the State':of
vania have suspended, nor is it= kuown the
measures they took topreient inspension, or,
since it took place, to remove it. The first
question that arises is, why did they suspend?
A, full knowledge of the fact—the cause, of
suspension—will go far to direct the public
mind to the remedies necessary to remove the
evil and''prC i viint' its recurrenCe." The public
mind cannot understand 'or believe the fact,
if, it did not feel its existence, that in the
midst of proSperity=after' 'years
of peace and plenty—with streams of millions
of gold flowing in upon us—with abundant
crops, and a ready market for them at high
prices--with no demands for loans by the Gen
eral or State Governments—with plenty of gold
andsilver in the country—more perhaps than
over was in it before—and this, too, not more
in the, coffers of the Government than in the
hands of the people—when there has been no
sudden shock 'or calamity, at home or abroad,
to any of the interests of the country—it is
impossible' to conceive why the banks should
hive suspended specie 'payments. Nor can it
be seen upon what grounds or pretence they
Can ask the Legislature to authorize them to
pour out upon the community millions of
dollars of irredeemable paper currency, to fill
'up the channels of trade, to drive ? specie out
of the State, or lock it up in the coffers and
pockets of the wary, there to remain, or to be
tised to prey upon the necessities of those
who have it not but must have it. '
We know the cry has gone out from the
banks that it was necessary, for, theni to sus
pend to save their customers—their debtors;
that if they had not done so, the merchants, the
manufacturers, and the mechanics would not
have the means of carrying on their business,
and thus every branch of trade would be para
lyzed, and labor be without employment. Can
this be so? Do the bank loans create a de
mand for the merchandise of our citizens, or
their manufactures, or theirlabor ? Is not the
demand they create but artificial? and are not
these artificial wants the cause of all our disas
ters, and that which is now npon us? Would
the demand for cotton, for coal, for grain, or
for the, products or the labor of the mechanics '
or manufacturers of Philadelphia, be any the,
less throughout our whole country or the
world if no bank existed in Philadelphia?
Is not this cry a fallacy a mere pre
tence, to deceive the public'? Would it
net be far better . for our merchants,
manufacturers, and mechanics to have -a
sound currency and a good character 1—
These would bring to them buyers and sellers
frOm the South, the West, the Bast, and the
North of our country, and from all parts of the
world.
;But have these loans, made by the banks
toy the merchants, manufacturers, and me
eltanics of Philadelphia', caused their sus
pension? This is a question that should
be probed by the Legislature to the bottom.
They should inquire who it is that the banks
have beere loaning their money to. If it shall
he found that any of them have been loaning
to i men to build their fine houses, or specu
late in lands, or to shave notes, or to mo
nopolize any other object out of the sphere of
the regular and proper business, thershould
be made to bear the heaviest penalties of the
lats.. They should look wall, too; to see if
any bank presidents or directors, or any of
their favorites—and perhaps secret patrons—
have got rich, directly or indirectly, through
nip aid of the banks; and if so, whether any
mid what sacrifices they have made to sustain
or relieve the banks.
. The Legislature should also require the banks,
too, to show what Sacrifices they have made
to; sustain themselves. They have been divi
ding for years ten and twelve per cent. per an
.ntim on their, stockr, and building great palaces,
making large dividends, and retaining large
surpluses. We frequently, see, by the reports
*Om Europe, that in times of coming pressure •
tb 3 banks of England and France go into the•
ttirket ;and buy large• Itinounte of specie to
carry them through. Did the betake of •Phila
ddlphia make any such attempt to buy specie
to prevent suspension? Are they making
any now? Ctin they not afford to suffer a
little, to pay a premium, a high premium, for
specie to relieve themselves? Why shonhl
'they . not ? Why should they not sacrifice ten
jrtA cent., twenty or fifty per cent. of their
e4pital, to sustain themselies, to save or redeem
their own character, the character of our city
itfld the community, film the infliction and
disgrace of a degraded currency I. Have the
qesidents and directors of these institutions
no more souls than the institutions they con
trol If, they have, let them open them by
waking up out of their torpor, and pledg
ing all they have, and all their institutions
have, to raise specie enough to redeem them
selves. ,
Let the 6 go to one and all of their deposi
t4rs, and make terms with as many as they can
not to withdraw their deposits, only on pay
ment of dues to the banks.
I To this end, let them offer, what the law re
qnires, to pay for such depoo twelve per
Cent. per annum, until they are redeemed,
ether bn payment of debts due the banks,
'or in specie; and let them issue certificates to
Oils effect to such depositors. These certifi
cates will be found an acceptable currency by
'all who have property of any kind to sell, to
Dille funds to pay dues to the banks, if not
frequently to be returned as investments.
Virhen this is done, let them buy specie at any
rate they can, get it, to redeem their notes and
ply the small depositors who may not take
certificates. Then let them call in all the
loans they have out, hi the hinds of others
than' those who employ labor, and the product
of whose labor is in demand, and will bring a
speedy return to them. /
I Why should the community suffer the evils
of a depreciated and irredeemable currency,
and its business be paralyzed, that loans may
be extended to speculators to hold on to larger
eitantities of .sugar, breadstuff.% lumber, iron,
of any other marketable product or commodity,
until they can make that community pay high
prices for them, and the owners make large pro
fits or savo themselves from largo losses? Or
why should such loans be continued to holders of
real estate, merely that they may obtain high
prices? If the bank, presidenti and direc.
tors of Philadelphia will meet and resolve
tit do all this, and - that' they tall resume
speck) payments, cost Oat it may, at the
earliest day, we have not a doubt but confi
dence would be restored, and but small saert-
Oes would be required anywhere. Is it not
.worth a trial before Jegialative aid is invoked?

DRAB PnEss : The Senatorial Conferees from

noting a Democratic candidate for Senator ; After
a series of ballotings,ithe choice of the conference,
with much unanimity, fell upon Thomas Craig,

locality between the counties of Pike and Carbon.
Little Pike, however. after a number of ballots,
not being able to unite upon any ono of
the candidates presented by her, with great
unanimity yielded her claim to the Senator,
and magnanimously cast her vote for Mr.
Craig, of Carbon, than whom a better Demo
crat or truer man sari nowhere be found within
the bdrders of the Commonwealth. Mr. C., it
will be recollected, although yet a very young
man, has twice represented his county in the popu

as was conclusively proven by the unanimous vote
he received at the last Democratio convention in

LETTER FROM AN OLD CLAY MAN.—No II
(For The Prem.]
'The choice presented to the( electors of Penns.*
vania for aoandidate for Governor is between two
gentlemen who are antagonistic in almost every in
gredient that may be supposed to enter into the
qualification of Chief Magistrate of this ancient
Commonwealth.' General Packer is a gentleman
of that remarkable good sense which is one of the
best charipteristios of a useful public servant, and
that part of his life which has been devoted
to the service of the State has been marked
with evidences of applidation, industry, and
fidelity, and these, qualities have boon specially
developed in his position as a Pennsylvanian. Ile
has not shown any desire for personal distinction
by avowing himself of any of those side cliques"
which owe their freedom from mischief-doing to
the paucity of the number of which they aro com
posed, and the want of good personal considera
tion, which naturally follows erratic movements
in public life. General Packer has done, and
done well, the duties devolved upon him by office,
and has (I confess that fact) acquired to himself no
marked distinction by setting up a large or smal l
standard different from the " normal" requisites of
his political friends and the prevailing views of
the people of the Commonwealth. Raving faith
fully discharged the duties of the places he has
occupied, and manifested a true Pennsylvania
spirit, he is, it appears to me, entitled to the votes
not merely of all those who have ever been en•
rolled as of ids party, bat especially of those who,
,having been disappointed in the promises of false
leaders, and mortified at the sacrifice made
of them, their men and their meaaures, are anxious,
at least, to do what good they can for the Common
wealth, and If they may not secure the election of
one of their ancient and unhappily defunct party,
may at least assist In the election of one who has
dope his duty faithfully, and whose party fealty in
volves nothing that is inconsistent with great na
tional principles, or a provision of the Constitution
of the country. Pennsylvania can have little or
no interest in the election of Judge Wilmot. The
unhappy rivalry between this State and the State
dtNew York ,renders it necessary for Pennsylvania
to look to herself, and pre-eminently is our
city, our good old Philadelphia, interested
iw the decision of the question. Ten years ego,
no man regarded Mr. Wilmot as a Pennsylvanian,
in any other respect than that the county in
which he resided was within the limits of the
State ; but the interest of that county and all its
intercourse were with New York ; and a Con
gressional Representative of the district was so
much in the habit of going to Washington by the
way of the city of New York, that it,was a cus
tom to say that he was going 'to Now York
to, get his instruction, and the vote of the Re
presentative seemed to warrant the remark.
New York State is now Black Republican.
BO much as Pennsylvania is opposed to shivery
in(the abstract, or slavery within liar own limits,
shit has no principle of the unconstitutional party
iniher plans ; and there is no man who refers to the
twp candidates for the Gubernatorial chair but
regards Judge Wilmot solely as an Abolitionist.
Ile has made no capital heaths—he has no name
beisides—he has no claim on the votes of a party
outside the "provisr;" and his recent attempt
to belie his course in Congress on financial
questions shows how vain aro all his efforts
and those of his friends to create for him
any other grounds of consideration than those de
rived from his antl-slavery movements. Mr. Wil
mot has appeared once or twice publicly in this city
before his recent visit, bat it was; so far as I re
collect, only to address a class of citizens who hold
views on the subject of slavery, and the means
of its abolition, wholly at variance from those of
nine-tenths of the people of this State, and cape
dilly opposed to the principles end interests of the
people of Philadelphia. One word more.
The people of this State are to vote for two candi•
dates for the bench of the Supreme Court of the
State. I will not offend by supposing that any con
siderable number will commit tho egregious folly
of voting for the two persons named in the opposi
tion or combination ticket. One of them is chiefly
di.stingnished for his attachment to Abolitionism,
add the other for his ridiculous course in the Amo
dean movement. But I bog to say a few words
in reference to the two gentlemen who aro nomi
noted on the Demoeratio ticket.
!Judge Thompson, of Erie, has held judical
places, and discharged its duties judiciously, and
as a member of Congress I know his ability and his
devotion to principle.
1(r. Strong, of Berko county, is perhaps less person
ally known to a largo portion of your city readers.
But ho is a man of distinguished talents, of high edu..
cati . me,of legal acumen, and great attainments in his
profession, and all these qualities are enriched by a
pure system of morals, founded on religion. He is
firm in his own creed, and tolerant to others•
While in Congress he was deemed the champion
et Pennsylvania interest, and no man more
distinguished himself by efforts to promote the
interests of Philadelphians. I was in a situation to
know all his efforts, and to judge of much of the labor
which many others could not see ; and I have, as a
Philadelphian, ever felt bound in gratitude to him
for the extent of his parliamentary knowledge, his
distinguished abilities, and his good will in behalf of
nquestion that then deeply concerned Philadel
phia.
And I hope that not merely a majority of votes
will be given to Mr. Strong by our fellow.oititens
here, bet such a majority as will show that the
people have a respect for the !judiciary of their
State, and a canes of gratitude for those who have
served Philadelphia.
Ifilr. Strong is a gentleman of dignified manner,
and the purest morale, and his ,olootion, with that
'of his colleague 'Upon the ticket, will preserve the
pitrity and dignity of the bench, and the honor of
our good old Conatoonwialth.

their hands. The dosing of a largo mill is a Serious
matter, not only on account of the numborn thrown
out of employ, but of the rapid deterioration of the
exponsivo machinery. The large mills koop one'

cotton to Liverpool, where it will pay a profit on
the cost, thus stopping all production until
the scarcity of goods shall have forced up
prices, or that the raw material shall
have declined. The Lituaashiro mills cannot
make cheap cloths out of dear cotton any more
than our own mills can do so; but of late years the
consumption of cotton has outrun production, and
the South being now rich holds the monopoly.

largest failures taken place. Tbo dry goods trade
generally stands well. The proportion of failures
among them is very small. Tomorrow a very largo
amount of this class of paper falls duo in Now York,
but it is understood to bo well provided for. The
day passed without accident will ho regarded as a
"corner turned.," The state of the stock market,
however, bears elfddenco to tho suniftees made to

decline in the soundest ten-per-cent. stocks is indi
cativo only of the necessities for money, and the
existing joint fears and hopes of capitalists that
lower rates may be obtained. At the same time
largo orders are here for stooks by the last steamer,
and for produce, while orders have gone hence for
gold with which to buy the bills now floating upon
the market; until the latter is fulfilled, the former
cannot he.
The internal exchanges seem to be as thoroughly
paralysed as the external ones, and it has been
suggested that the New York banks should die
count the sterling bills of produce shippers, and
forward them for collection. The banks are now
strong enough to do so, even if this should involve
sending two or throe millions of gold into the in
terior. Thirty days would bring the gold back to
them from London. The accumulation of gold

since that alone is now regarded in all quer

The Naval Courts of Inquiry are steadily progressing
with the investigation of the cases before them. Only
twenty-five or thirty still remain to be acted on. As
each case has been disposed of the conclusion of the
court ha* been sent under seal to the President. The
results will not, I believe, be made public until they

A general feeling seems to be growing amongst naval

During the present week over 1800,000 of U. S. stock

for gold and silver to yearly one million of dollars. The
surplus revenue decreases every day—the reduction in
the week ending 26th of September amounting to
$1,169,429.61. Considering this steady reduction and
the regular failing off since the Ist of July of receipts
from customs it is not saying too much that there will be
in December next, a very small amount, in comparison
with late years, of surplus funds in the Treasury , to in
cite to wuteful expenditure on the part of Congress for
works of doubtful utility.

lands, and a new distribution of taxes. The most
important measure for promoting the prosperity
and civilisation of the country is the canal con
templated between Korosko and Berber. Between
these two points the Nile fetches a vast compass,
extremely inconvenient for navigation. The canal
in question is to be cut across the neck of land
thus formed by the Nile,
thus considerably short

TIIE REVOLT IN INDIA.
The overland mail has brought news from Bom
bay as late as August 15. It Is of a mixed cha
racter—the extension of the mutiny to Bombay;
a aeries of brilliant victories by General Havelock
over the miscreant, Henn Sahib; more mutinies
nod massacres; and the disarming at Calcutta of
the Governor-Genoral's bodyguard. These, with
other events of minor importance, make up the
news by the Bombay and Calcutta mails.
The Bombay mutiny was only a small affair, and
would hardly command notice in the presence of
the startling events of which India Is now the
scene, if it did not indicate the presence of a mu
tinous spirit in a presidency whore loyalty, it was
hoped, was strong. A battalion revolted at Kola
pore, but the outbreak was speedily suppressed.
The inoldent, nevertheless, has generated some un
easiness reeneeting the future of Bombay.
The mostbrilliant feats of the campaign, so far,
hive been accomplished by General Havelock, an
Indian officer, who appears fully equal to the
emergency. The accounts aro a good deal con
fused, but wo gather from them that having ad
vanced several miles from Cawnpore towards Luck
now, the British commander came in contact with
a force, some say of 10,000, others 13,000 men, un
der Nena Sahib. Three engagements followed, in
which, with only 1800 Europeans and 000 or 700
Sikhs, the enemy was defeated in the most mas
terly manner. Twenty-one of the rebel guns
were captured. But notwithstanding this victory,
General Havelock was compelled to fall back upon
Cawnpore, in consequence of the alarming spread
of cholera amongst his troops. A flank movement,
by which the last and crowning victory was
aehieved, is highly praised by the military men
who write from the camp.
,The last report says, General Havelock, leaving
Colonel Neill at Cawnpore, was marching on Luek
new ; thence he proceeds to Delhi.
lAmongst the disjointed fragments of Intelligence
by this Overland Mail may be mentioned ono that
requires confirmation—the rumored death, by
drowning, of the monster, Norm Sahib, after his
defeat.
Hardly inferior in interest to the facts we have
mentioned were the mutinies at Dinapore, on the
25th of July. Here three native regiments were
desired to surrender their percussion caps, and
1:11
500 time MO foolishly given them to deliberate,
before the expiration of which they marched along
the Grand Trunk Bead, cut the telegraph wires as
they passed, and assumed an attitude of defiance.
They were followed by General Lloyd, and an en
gagement took place at the passage of the Sone,
where, it is raid, the Queen's troops shot down 500.
But, notwithstanding, the mutineers crossed the
river, and reached Arrah, about twenty-five miles
West of Dinsmore. There was no adequate force
at Areal] to repel them, and the lives of seventy
five of the English residents were taken. Two
steamers, each having on board one hundred and
sixty British soldiers, were despatched from Dina
pore to Arrah ; but one of the steamers unfortu
nately grounded, and the•troops in the other in
eirutiously landed, were surrounded at night by
the rebels, and lost one hundred and forty-seven
tdeA and nine officers, within four of the whole
ninnber. Angther massacre of officers had occurred
at Segowlie. These occurrences will interrupt the
cemmunication between the capital of Bengal and
the disturbed districts by the high road; but the
Clanger is still open to the English, and the
transport of troops by that route can be made
with safety. Lord Elgin had arrived at Cal
cutta with four hundred marines and a company
of the Queen's sth, and - while the steamer which
conveyed the homeward mails was coming down
two other Mourners with transports on board were
going up. It may be mentioned incidentally that
the blundering conduct of General Lloyd at Dina
pbre had been visited with disgrace. He was su
perseded in the command by Sir James Outram.
.The news from Delhi extends to the end of July.
The place still held out, and three sorties had oc
curred, in which the insurgents were repelled with
rent slaughter. The British had five hundred
killed and wounded.
General Reid has relinquished the command of
the forces on account of illness ' and has been suc
ceeded by Brigadier - General A. Wilson
Sir Colin Campbell has arrived at Calcutta and
assumed command of the Indian army.
The ex-Ranee of Sattara and a native Rajah
have been taken into custody and brought prison
ers to Bombay.
Tue KIM] oe DBMlL—Touching the reported
desire of the King to make terms, the Calcutta
Englishman says "The Governor-General ,has
directed the Lieutenant-Governor of the north
western Provinces that, on the fall of Delhi, no
promises of whatsoever kind must be made to the
Icing of Delhi and his royal family, nor oven enter
into any engagements, but that they must be kept
in close contnentent."
QUEEN'S TROOPS IN INDIA —When all the re
inforcements now on their way or under orders for
India have reached their destination the total
force of Queen's troops at the disposal of the In
dian Government will ho as follows : 11 regi
ments of cavalry, 55 regiments of infantry, 4
troops of horse artillery, 11 companies of foot ar

Democratic Meeting in the Twenty-Fourth

tog of the Democracy of the Twenty-fourth Ward
held last evening, at the West Philadelphia Hall.
The meeting was organised by the appointment

0 ay, II It. Kaeats, John Honohuk
Neeretanes—Benjamin E Franklin, Charles Atrophy,
William Atmore, A. C. Garrity, William A. Leech,
John Sloan.
The following resolutions were introduced and
unanimously adopted :
Whereas, The Democratic party have never failed on
all pepper occasions to 'Doak before the people their
views upon every question of State and National
thus commending themselves to the honest and lute -
gent masses of our citirens. Therefore,
ltesulred, That the Democrats of the Twenty-fourth
Ward In mass meeting declare that we hold doubly dear
our principles of devotion to the onion of these states,
and our determination to stand by the Constitution
of the country with all our physical, political, and moral
power
Resolved, That to this end we again proclaim our en
tire confidence in that great patriot and model states
man, who now occupies the highest post of honor and
trust in the world—lnmea Buchanan, President of the
United States—eon of the Old Keyetone every public
act of bin life but adds new lustre to hie name, while
our country, for some time past distracted by a spirit of
fanaticism bordering on Insanity, now eXperiences a re
turn to her wonted healthful action, and that this Is
due to our national policy so faithfully exhibited in the
Administration of James Buchanan, in the selection of
his Cabinet, and in his wise foretaste to reference to all
the great interests of the country,
Resolved, That in the present canvass, we have for
State Executive a candidate of whom the Democracy
may welt be proud. William P. Packer presents a pub
lic record that ought to be known and read by every
Pennsylvanian, file honesty, integrity, experience and
emineut ability peculiarly dt hint to take position in
the gubernatorial chair. It will require all Ids skill to
right the obliquities of the present occupant. We wiU
give him our cordial support.
Reloteed, That William Bigler, our talented United
States Senator, has ever commended himself in all bin
private and public life to our best regards, and that we
view his elevation to the Senate of the United States an
but a just tribute to his merit and great abilities. The
defender of our federal Constitution In hard fought
battles In his own State, be will alike be - found wortlyof
that title in the Senate of the country,
Drsolerd, That Nimrod Strickland, our candidate for
Canal Commissioner, is honest and capable ; that Is
enough. Ile in too well known and too highly esteemed
to require encomium from se.
Resolved, That !denies. Strong and Thompson, oar
candidates for Judges of the Supreme Court, are quali
fied in every element of fitness to maintain the dignity
and ability of our highest State judicial tribanal, and
will be well sustained by the Democratic party, so well so
by the well-meaning and honest menet' all parties.
Regolved, That the nominations made by our County
Convention and County and City Legislative Conven
tions are entitled to our cordial end active support, and
that we will rise ell oar energies to secure their elec
tion, thus affording to our citizens competent, intelli
gent; and gentlemanly public officers, and to oar Legls•
future faithful men, who will care for our best interests
In every measure of public policy.
Able and spirited addresses were delivered by the
lion. N. B Browne, lion. U. al. Phillips, and others.
The Slate Agricultural Fair.—This exhi
bition terminated yesterday afternoon. The day
was an intensely busy one for the parties concerned
as judges and exhibitors, while the attendano far
surpassed the expectation of all. The grounds
were greatly thronged during the entire day, but
in the afternoon the spectators numbered over
twelve thousand at a time.
The principal portion of the work incumbent
upon the various committees was performed upon
the last morning,when tha premiums were awarded.
To perform this duty justly and impartially to no
easy task, yet we believe that there is Mattis
faction on the part of exhibitors this year than
ever before. The constant march of Improvement,
too, in inventive skill, developing new combina
tions of machinery, and bringing to light objects
of ornament and utility, with which none but the
inventor is yet thoroughly acquainted, has reread
upon the managers of the fair a good deal of study
and investigation, in order to award their honors
with fairness. And while the committee were thus
filled with anxiety, there was a corresponding feel
ing on the part of exhibitors, each of whom of
course desired a premium, and, naturally enough,
believed his own blackbirds to be the whitest.
Some amusing scenes occurred during the day,
brought about by the spirit of emulation evinced in
ail quarters to take a first prized!
The annual address was delivered by E. C. Wil
son, Esq., of Venango county. A stand wait erect
ed for the purpose of the orator immediately oppo
site the parterre of seats. Mr. Wilson is a fluent
and pleasing speaker, and he dealt his audience a
dish of agriculture so happily blended with phi.
losophy and common sense, that no one could have
heard it without interest. The list of premiums
were read from the judge's stand.
In pianos, the first premiums were given to Mr.
J. E Mould, Seventh and Chestnut streets, on a
Raven, Bacon, ,t Co. square piano, a Ballet, Da
vis, ct. Co. grand piano, and on a Mason & Hamlin
harmonium. lioimade an imposing display, and
added much to the attractiveness of the exhibition.
From personal examination. of these Instruments
we feel well assured of the justness of the commit
tee's decision. The grand piano by Ballet, Davis,
A. Co. deserved its title ; a grander tone and more
easi Va ngthweheveaeThr l eard : r gl T r l RavenTßaconirotrumenwas but a sp e
Men
of all the pianos from the maker—literally
unrivalled.
For their safes, which have recently undergone
such seething ordeals, Messrs. Evans it, Watson
received a first premium over all competitors, and
although nothing was needed to enhance their repu
tation, the safes made by this firm have an addi
tional claim to superiority over all others.
Holmes' self-acting life boat, the trial of which
we reported some weeks ago, was honored in a simi
lar manner. The boat on exhibition was under
the care of Capt. James Marks, who entertained
visitors by sprightly anecdote, in connection with
an explanation of the life boat and its qualities
Besides the above, there is a long list of Phila
delphians who have received first premiums for
every variety of contributions. In the Horticul
tural department, many of the persons who had
contended for prizes at the Horticultural Fair,
were also exhibitors on the occasion. Mr. E. L.
Felton, the noted vegetable grower at Ridge
avenue, also opened his array of culinary curiae
ties here, and as usual received the first premium.
Mr. Henry A. Dreer, the tbrioulturist, was repre
sentod by a bower of roses which was similarly
honored.
• •
In concluding this subject we are happy to say
that despite the present depression of the times
the management had a handsome sum left over
after paying every expense The Executive Com
mittee had a meeting last evenin t at the Bt. Law
rence Hotel, when this interes Not was an
nounced.
Today , although the Fair proper has terminated
there will be some trotting at the grounds, which
together with the removal of the arttcles exhibited
will constitute a lively scene
Fires.—At twenty minutes before two
o'clock yesterday morning, an incendiary fired
the promises at the comer of Eleventh and Pleasant
streets, occupied by Thomas Maher, as a counting
house, shingle manufactory, and board yard. Eire
was applied first to the shingle-shed, and the
flames spreading, communed the counting-hoate,
and several plies of boards. The loss will be about
$2,500, covered by insurance.
About half-past three o'clock yesterday morning,
after the alarm of the fire at Eleventh and Plea
sant streets had subsided, another alarm was caused
by the burning of a portion or the promises No.
1704 Walnut street. It was discovered that the
carpeting on the door of the rear room of the fiecopi
story had caught fire in consequence of the juice
having been so formed as to come under the grate.
When discovered, the dames had burned a hole in
the floor in a portion of the apartment.
Religious.—Rev. Thomas H. Stockton
preaches at Jayne's Sell to-morrow (Sunday) morn
ing and evening. Mr. Stookton's present effort is
to establish a " Church of the Bible" for the people.
It is said that orders have been received to
break up all the Mormon establishments at the
East, including the one at Tom's River. Tho
Mormons will all emigrate to Utah. .

Objected to by Mr. Csalidy an out being the beat evi

The Court ruled that in the absence of the book fur
nished to the election Means this is the beet 'accede:7
evidence that can be offered. The book was offered In
evidence, and the Commonwealth ' s case closed.
Mr. Calsidy opened for the defence—May it please the
Court Gentlemen of the jury, after what has a:marred in
this caws it may seem presumptuous in any one to de
fend Hubert Contrail in this court. When I got admit
ted to the bar I took en oath to discharge my doty faith
fully to my clients, and I care nothing of what may be
come of me In this case. I may bare to speak very
plainly to you before I have done. It may seem strange
that Hubert Conwell should be selected for trial, above
all othen charged with similar offences; but it bald
not seem so strange if you knew all the secrete of this
case. It may be important that Hubert Correll, aim
is an enemy of the District Attorney, should be tried
and convicted before the cumin election. It may be
Important to that party which the District Attoroey de
tain{ to mist.; but if the law Is &My dealt out to hint
caanot tamed. What objection could there ben
been to Mr. Benjamin Ley going before ad alderman
and making his charge in the rainier sty! One of the
privileges of an American citizen is that he Asa bow
who his accusers are. Upon the lath of November this
bill is found. The next day the District Attorney seeds
ua notice that be will try the case. We rams into court
with a motion to grub, which has been overruled, as
we Imagine, contrary to law.
If, In the discharge of your duty, you think the de
fendant is guilty, why ray on; but do not be carried
away by anything said to you here.
Gentlemen of the jury, you are judges of the facts;
and if the Judge, in the discharge of his duty, eltould
express an opinion on the facts, you are not bound to
pay may attention to it; you are to take the law from the
judge. Yon yourselves are judges of the theta. It is
not sufacient to say that Hobert Contrail took a vote,
and did not add it to the list of voters. It moat be
proved that he had a bed intent at the time, and that
he intended to take en illegal vote.
Why is not Samuel G. Hamilton produced to prove
that a book was furnished to the abets of election
He is within reach of the process of this Court, and of
ita fifteen cation. oaten. Where In the aeiorge the!
the November book Tel 421iTtirei to the arms. Does
it not strike you im etpatet., that the only witnesses
that were produced in support of this charge were mem
bers of the American party? I ask. of you for nay client
a fair and impartial weighing of the farts, and confi
dently rely on your verdict of acquittal.
The District Attorney replied to Mr. Cassidy, and
Judge Conrad charged the jury upon the legal points
Involved in the case , and stated that there was no moral
offence alleged against the defendant, that the pen
alty in the case was a fine. At half-ppeuat 3 the jury
came Into Court with a verdict of "Guilty." Bit. Cu.
