; The Baltimore Convention, wbioh is to assemble
on Monday next, Is the theme of conversation in all
circles. There,is nearly me much Interest felt In
the result of. its deliberations by the Bepnblloena
as by tha, Democrats. The Bepnbllcans, however,
show their anxiety ls expressions of opinion that
Douglas] oannot be, and, on the part of the more
candid of the seme party, the hope is avowed that he
may not bo nominated. They leal that if ha should
be tha.oandldate itwilUnitiateaeamprignofunex
smpled excltement ; and they desire.bis defeat be
eanw, in that .event, they may .easily oonqner by
the. indiffereaee of the .disappointed Democracy.
The Demoo rats, On the other hand—the muice.oer.
trinly, and the leaders, where- they are wise—ro
gard the nomination of Dooglas as the only one
that,.will give them the elighteat ehanoeof sno

It,(e'really M Dawglas or nobody." The foes of
Dooglas tn-the perty miy defeat him by their
rantor, but he Is the only living man who has the
remotest prospect of defeating the foes of the
party. - The- men who assail Douglas do so,
notbecause fib not' the moat available, bat
became theyv would rather hare defeat than
Doaftaa. They are/ or hare been, the owner* of the
organisation of the party:- Aided by the patronage
of the Administration, they hare pot forward as
“regular'* oa&dldatea tome of the most odious and
objjotionableme& in the party; hare made the
moat prowrlptire tests upon the party ; and hare
endorsed the wont tyranny of the Administration.
And when these oppressions were objeoted to, the;
have responded by declaring that the organisa
tion • of' the 1 party had sustained them, • and
that those who‘ resisted were bolters; Now
the boot is on the other ieg. The organisers hare
been overthrown by their own instrument. The
rule they asserted to- defend the wrong has been
•riaed apon and wielded'in defence of ihe right.
Douglas has obtained a majority ot the party vote.

Mr. Ashmorb, of South Carolina, from the Mile

referred to it, repealing the act regulating the com
pensation of members of Congress. 1
Mr. Hatton, of Tennessee, tom the Committee
on Expenditures in the Navy Department, report
ed back the resolutions referred to it in February
last, and reoernmended their passage. The resolu
tion's declare that the Secretary of the Navy has,
with' the sanction of the President, abused his dis
cretionary power 1 i& the Mieotion of a coal agent,
and in the purchase of fuel for the Government;
that the eontraot with bwift for live-oak timber
was in violation of the law; that the distribution of
the patronage of the navy yard among members of
Congress’ is destructive ot discipline, and is inju
rious to the public service; that the President and
Secretary of the Navy in considering the party re
lations of bidders, and the effect of awarding bon-.
traots pending emotions, are deserving of the re
probation of the House. That Daniel B. Martin,
a member of the Board of Engineers, to report pro
posals for the oonsbrootlon of machinery, being
personally Interested therein, is hereby censured
by the House.
Mt. Bocock, of Virginia, said these resolutions.
were reported to the last Congress by a minority
of a seleot committee, since which time no addi
tional testimony has been taken, and he was sure
that but few of the members of this House had
read the evidenoe then taken, covering one thou
sand pages. He submitted whether, in fairness, a
matter of this importance should tiros be hastily
aotedupon. It involved high constitutional prin
ciples. Besides, the Secretary of the Navy wishes
to make a communication to the committee or the
House.
Mr. Hatton said he was directed on the 21st of
May to make this report, but did uot succeed in
obtaining the floor till this morning. He oertainly
did not desire to aot on the subjoot improperly,
and presumed there was soareely a member who
had not read to a considerable extent the testimony
on whioh the resolutions were based. He was
willing to meet Mr. Booook on the facts made in
that gentleman’s own report, believing that he
would be triumphantly sustained in his advocacy
of the resolution.
Mr. MoiLSOX, of Virginia, oould not acquiesce In
the course of either of the gentlemen who had spoken
and objeoted to the resolutions, as they were
founded on nothing elicited during the present,
but a former Congress.

- Tbe House went into Committee of the Whole
on tiie state of the Union on the fortification bill.
Mr. Ho wabd, of Michigan, said the system of
fortiflbatiofis was a 'humbug. If they were sunk
to-day It would be better for the country. In the
event of war we must rely on our militia..
.'Mr. Crawford, of .Georgia, replying, arid that,
without there fortific&tiorfs, at New York, for in
stance, the enemy’s ships might destroy the olty,
or levy contributions to ah enormous extent on her
commerce. Hence the Importance of such works.
The bill was passed as originally reported, with
out amendment.
Ur Grow, of Pennsylvania, from the commit
tee of conference oh the disagreeing votes of the
two houses on the homestead bill, reported that
after a fail and free oonferenoe they separated

On motion of Hr r Grow, the House insisted and
asked for another committee of conference.
Mr. Job* Cocbbakb, of New York, uked leave
to ictiodaOe « bill aperopriatins $125,000, the In
terest of whioh fhali do spent by the ladies of the

objeotion was raised.
Mr. Coohbakb moved a suspension of the roles.
The motion was negatived.
At4i o’olock, the House took a recess till 7
o’olook.
EVENING SESSION.
The House reassembled at 7 o’olook, and took
np the navy appropriation bill
. An amendment was adopted appropriating
$472,000 r t0 meet the requirements or the bill re
cently passed increasing the pay of the officers of
the navy about twentv. five per centum.
Mr. tloTEJor, of Illinois, wanted the vessels to
rot. If they were all sunk commerce would re
ceive no injury. It was time that the appropria
tions for them should cease.
A'mooing debate was had on the clause appro
priating $2,500,000 for the repair and equipment of
vessels, during which Mr. Shirkas, and Mr.
Davis of Maryland, spoke of the sailing vessels as
wholly inefficient for war purposes. It would be
better to let them rot than spend mvney on them,
unless it be to put on them ah auxiliary steam
power.
Mr. Mqrsb, of Maine, desired to expend a part
of this money for five or six small steamers, to ope
rate on the coast of Africa, for the suppression of
the slave trade, whioh waa rapidly increasing.
Mr. Millboh earnestly argued against the pro-,
posed reductions.. Our expenditures are more
economical than In England.
Mr. Qabbbtt, of Virginia, complimented Mr.
Sherman on his efforts to economise. There was ce
department In whioh more money waa expended
with smaller-results than in the navy. Several
years ago ten small steamers were authorised on
the plea to proteet our eommeroe In the shallow
waters ofthe Gulf of Mexioe. Hut this has turned
out a fraud. They are employed to prevent the
slave trade being carried on by foreigners under
oqrflag—aquestion with,which we have nothing
more to do than the Crusaders had with Mahom
medanlsm In Palestine. We only want a mere ocean
golloe. His colleague had failed to convince
Mr. Millsok, in the oourse of his reply, said
that he t was not surprised that he had failed to
convince Mr. Garnett, and regretted that he could
not, In the five minutes allowed for debate, instruct
a gentleman who bad bo little information on the
sabjeot [Laughter.]
Mr. Hatton, of Tennessee, having looked closely
into this subjeot, was oonvinoed that the only way
to oheok corruptions in the utTy yards was tore
* duee the amount of the appropriations.
The appropriation of $2,600,000 was favorably
acted on, with a proviso that not more than 45,000
shall be expended ia any navy yard In the repair
of any vessel until the necessity of snob repair,
and the probable oost thereof, is ascertained by
the report of a board of naval officers; and it fs
made the duty of the Secretary of the Navy to
cause a survey to be made by a board of naval
in connection with a naval constructor, of
the sailing vessels of the navy, to ascertain whioh
of .them can profitably be fitted up with auxiliary
steam power, Ac. -
. Mr. Mobbx offered an amendment, appropria
ting 4600,000 for the purchase of six small steamers
for employment on the boast of Afrioa, for the sup
pression ofthe slave trade, whioh was ruled out of
order.
A brief oratorical spar took place between Mr.
Millson and Mr. Garnett, in relation to extrava
gance, the former being from the Gosport navy yard
and the latter from a rural district of the
samebtate.-
Mr. Winslow, of North Carolina, offered an
amendment which was adopted, appropriating $50,-
000 for the purohass of sal ire. His argumont was
that we should lay in a full supply now, while we
are at peace with England, as the article is .ob
tained only from India.
Mr. Undxrwood, of Georgia, regarded the re
mark as extraordinary. There was a oave in his
State, which would supply enough of saltpetre to
carry this country through a ten-years war.
[Laughter* J
The amount for contingent expenses was out
down 4300,000, leaving $600,000.
Mr. Kuhxxl, of Maryland characterized such
capricious amendments as a shame and disgrace.
The oommlttee rose at 10 o’olook, without com
ing to a conclusion on the bill. Adjourned.
The Adjournment of Congress and the
Pacific Railroad Bill*
Washington, June ii._The prospect of an ad
journment of Congress on the 18th tnst. is not

Gov. Lubruok, of Texas, was called to the ohalr.
He returned thanks to the Convention, and deemed
his selection as president a compliment to his
State. He trusted that they had assembled for a'
triumph of principles and not for plunder; that If
these principles are repudiated by the North, they
will go before the country as the true Demooratfo
party, with its principles emblazoned on their
banner.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Burroughs.
The States were then oalled:
New York responded, oreating great applause.
A list of the delegates from that State was handed

The delegate who presented the credentials is
. Thaddeus PT Mott, who is here as the alternate of
Hon. J. Gideon Tuoker, detained, by serious ill
ness.
Mr. Mott said that the time did not permit of
oalllng the State Convention together, but he was
assured by the president that fifteen of the sixteen
members of the State Committee approved of the
delegation, and desired that they should represent
the State in the Richmond Convention.

Death of Quartermaster: General Thos.
8. Jesup, United States Arjny* t
The telegraphio news received from Washington
last night informs us of the death of Quartermaster
General Thomas S. Jesup, of the United States
army, which event took plaoe yesterday. He was
seventy years of age.
. General Jesup was born in Virginia, and entered
the United States army May 3,1808,' as a Second
Lieutenant in tho Seventh regiment of infantry.
He took an aotlve part'ln the war of 1812-13-14, and
was a participator in the battles of Queenstown,
Chippewa, Niagara, and Lundy’s Lane, and was co
temporary with Generals Soott and Wool io those
memorable engagements. Gen. Jesup at tho battle
of Ohippewa held the rank of Major, bat for his
gallant servioes he was promoted to the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel by the President of the United
States. In May, 1818, he waa promoted in line of
promotion to a Brigadier Generalship, and in tea
years after, viz: 1828, he was breveted Major
General.
During the Greek war In Georgia and Alabama,
in 1836, General Jesup, with his superior In rank,
General Soott, was actively engaged, the latter
having been called from Florida to.assist in its
termination.
By the Ist of July the war, whioh hod threat
ened much, was virtually concluded, five hundred
hoßtUes having bees oaptured. Soott ooon after
turned over the command to General Jesup, who,
or the 12th, wrote, that of thirteen hundred ether
hostile Greek Indians, nine hundred were his pri
soners. Onthe 9th of July “Soott gave up com
mand under extraordinary He
was, in foot, superseded. General Soott had
written to Washington to oomplain of diso
bedience of orders by General Jesup. Tbia
was as well known in the army as the disobe
dience had been, and, of coarse, came to the
knowledge of General Jesup—if Scott did not in
person communicate it to him. General Jesup
wrote also to Washington, not, howover, to the
Secretary of War, as was usual in each eases, but
to Mr. Blair, the editor of the Globe, in whioh be
stated substantially that he considered Scott’s
oourse in prosecution of the Semlnde war ruinous
to the best interests of the United States. A court
of inquiry was ordered; Soott made an elabo
rate defenoe, and the court, after a careful in
quiry and review of the testimony, acquitted
bcott. President Van Buren approved the finding
ofthe court. General Soott then addressed a letter
to Mr Poinsett, Secretary of War, claiming the com
mand of tho army In Florida as a right,lnasmuoh
as nearly all the troops of bis division were em
ployed there, and on tho ground that he was the
senior of General Jesup. The Senators and mem
bers of Congress from Virginia, of whioh State
both Jesup and Scott were citizens, urged that the
oommand should be conferred on the latter 8o
strong waa publlo opinion throughout the Union iu
this military,controversy, that tho Richmond Eh*
quirer , the devoted advocate of the Administra
tion, urged the propriety of this oourse. General
Jesup afterwards took an active part in the Florida
war. and in airoaseß displayed marked abilities as
a military officer.
Before proceeding farther in this hasty
sketch of the servioes of a meritorious officer, we
should state that Geu. Jesup’s peculiar buroau, so
to speak, in the army, was of such a peculiar na
ture that, although his name does not appear in
our military history as frequent os others, yet his
master mind was never idle either in peace or war
He was the Quartermaster General oc the United
States army, and, to a military man. the magni
tude of the position Is obvious. Of, the efficiency
In any army most depends upon the good
order of the Quartermaster's department,
and the activity and effiolenoy of its mem
bers. Its duties are mnltlform and various; it
has to do* w>th everything in tho army and
every person. Its duty is to provide quarters,
food, forage, oamp equipage, arms, equipments*
transportation for troops, and the full disohargo of
this duty, even with our little army, scattered, us
it is, over a wide area of territory, requires quito
as muoh skill as the largest army extaut; and yet
these duties were for a long term of years dis
charged with oredit by General Jesup, whose, long
experience in the service of his oountry made him
familiar with all its details.
The history of the war with Moxico, whioh gives
tho details of the victories won by Amerioau arms
in that country, does not even allude to the name of
General Jesup. Yet it was on the good manage
ment of the detaohment of which b e was the honored
ohief that the suooess of the army depended.
Through his bureau were all the contracts made
for transportation of troeps and provisions, horses
and forage for their support, arms, equipments, and
ammunition; and hundreds of living witnesses to
day who participated in the glorious * deeds in
Mexioo wiu cheerfully attest to tne completeness in
every detail in this particular point Daring all
his military oareer General Jesup discharged his
duties, whether in the field or other duties, with a
oourage and fidelity well worthy of imitation, and
be has dosed his earthly oareer ripe in years and
with a clear escutcheon.
General Jespp’s survivors are three daughters
and two sons.
The military order for his funeral will be issued
by the Seoretmy of War to-day.
His death will throw a gloom over our whole
society, of which himself and his amiable family
have been for many years the ornaments end pride,
while to the offioen of the army, who are so warm
ly attaohed to him, his decease will carry sincere
grief. He has been identified with the Govern
ment here for more than thirty years, and held
in high esteem by every President. • He counted
among'his personal friends the most illustrious
statesmen of every party. He was the adviser and
second of Henry Olay in his duel with' John Ran
dolph, fitter having In vain tried every effort to
prevent.a hostile meeting. His last public ap
pearance was on the occasion of the inauguration
ofthe Washington statute, on the-22d of February,
when'he commanded the military escort ofthe
President.—TV. T. Herald, June 11.

The Japanese Embassy Yesterday in
Philadelphia.
Where they Went and What they Saw.
' The members of the Japanese Embassy were
busily employed yesterday in examining the insti
tutions, publio and private, of Philadelphia, and
receiving tho hospitalities of our oitizens. We
may say, so far as thoir present experience has
gone, that they are extremely delighted with
Philadelphia and its people, and particularly with
the sumptuous manner in whioh they aro enter
tained at the Continental. The repose of the Sab
bath was grateful, and prepared them for a better
appreciation of the institutions thoy visited than
the tumult and exoitoment of their journoyings
during the past week would have permitted them
to eDjoy.
The ouriosity of the people seems to be on the
increase, and all day yesterday, and particularly
In the evoning when the weather was clear and
cool, hundreds of porsons wero constantly con'
gregated in front of tho hotel at whloh they
are staying. As we stated yesterday, the pro*
gramme determined upon by the oommittee was
kept strictly private. This was to prevent the
popular tumult whloh would certainly have at
tended members of tho Embassy at evory stage of
'tbeir progress. As it was, the large orowd around
the hoteLwere constantly on the qni vive, anxious
to obtain any item of information in relation to
their doings, andito anticipate their presence at the
points to be visited. A rumor obtained ourrenoy
in the morning that they were to pay a visit to the
park atFairmount, and, consequently, large crowds
wended their way thither. Their visit to Fair*
mount, as will bo seen in tho sequel of this narra
tive, was postponed until a later hour of the day>
and the ourioßity of those who sought to antioipate
their arrival was o*mpellcd to stand the test of
several hours waiting.
The first plaoe visited in the morning was the
jewelry store of Messrs. Baily A Go., on Chestnut
street above Eighth. They spent a few minutes
in that establishment and examined with a great
deal of avidity tho ostentatious display of jew*
slry. They were esoortod Into the upper apart
ments devoted to the manufacture of silver ware,
and other articles of value used in their business.
They were very rnuoh interested in the different
details of their manufacture, and asked a great
many questions oeio the why and wherefore of the
different operations of the workmen. The firm,
we believe, presented the senior officers of tho Em
bassy with several articles of their manufacture.
The next plaoe visited was the dry-goods store
of Messrs. L. J. Levy A Go. They were even more
delighted here, In the superficial examination of
silks, satins, and other articles tor wear and orna
ment, than at the store above alluded to. Some of
the patterns, and the texture of many of the bro
cades, shawls, cloths, and linens, wero examined
with a great deal of interest. The deputation
visiting those establishments consisted of some
fifteen or twenty of the highor officers, and two or
three of tho servants, whose personal attendance
was requested by the Princes. In theso visits they
were accompanied by the members of the com
mittee, the naval commission, some fifteen or
twenty extra counoilmen, eight or ton representa
tives of the newspapers of New York and Phila
delphia, and (Several members of that very large
olass of loungers and loafers who possess no ap
parent means of earning a livelihood, and who at
tend in the train of all public demonstrations like
carrion birds in the rear of an army. In a great
many oases the cariosity of the Americans was
of such a character, that it proventod members of
the Embassy from onjoying tho facilities of obser
vation to which they were ontltled.
The time spent in the examination of these com
mercial palaoes was not very long. After they
had finished the work of inspection they wore oon
veyod to the type foundry of L. Johnson A Co.,
No. 606 6ansom street. Every preparation had
been made to receive them, and to take them to
the different parts of the establishment, They
first entered the wareroqpi, on tho lower fioor, where
they examined the presents intended for them by
this firm with muoh interest. Tho operations of
the stereotype department were also explained to
them. It may be said, by tho way, that although
tho Japanese are very ignorant of our tongue, yet
they are very quick in understanding the opera
tions of every article of machinery • explained to
them. Bow the moulds were prepared in gypsum;
how tho typo metal was melted and poured into
the frame; how the stereotyped plates were baked
in the heat of a large oven fire; how they were
carefully and ertistioally examined by expert
workmen; and how they wore finished to the
smoothness of their own enamelled sword scabbards;
ail these things were explained to them, and tho
roughly understood. The upper part of the building
devoted to the ossting of type and preparing them
for the printer, was also visited by them. They
were most astonished-at the rapidity with whloh
letter after letter fell from the machines, and when
the olaerono of the establishment presented them
with specimens of tho unfinished letters, they re
turned their thanks in that dignified manner so
. peculiarly Japanese.' The presses in the specimen
book press-room were in operation, and were run
ning off impressions of oegle cuts during tho visit
of the Embassy. The operations of the press seemed
to interest them more than anything they had yet
seen —the Frlnoes examining it for some time with
great attention. Copies of the impressions, as they
oame through the press, were handed to them, and
as they are better able to understand the
pictorial representation than an unintelligible
English, the effeot was very decided.
They spent Borne time in the engraving and elec,
trotyping departments, and made a great many
inquiries as to the kind of wood, used in wood-cuts,
and tho method of preparing them. While they
wero in this establishment a small job press was
kept in operation, running off copies of a card
containing the names of the Ambassadors in Japa
nese characters, and a small representation of
President Buchanan.. Those were given to them
ap mementoes of tbeir visit to the foundry.
Freni here they went to tho jewelry manufactory
ofMossrs. George W. Simops & Brother, on Sansom
atraet, below Seventh, a few doors from tbe type
oendry of Messrs. L. Johnson & Go. The opera
tions of this establishment are carried on in an
extensive and oomplete obaraoter. The machinery
is massive and highly finished, and runs so smoothly
thatalthough the engine wheels are in the depart
ment visited by tho Embassy, its oporatlons can
scarcely be heard. They wero very muoh in
terested in examining the different articles of ma
chinery. In the portion whero they were making
silver thimbles with great rapidity, a thimble was
prclontod to eaoh of the deputation,as It came from
tho handset tho workmen. The different stages
of npuufaoture in making gold pencils, from the
timdlhe uncouth gold was given into tho hands of
tbe trtisnn until the time it leaves his hands a
smocth and beautiful pieoe of jewelry, wero ex
piated to them, and a present of a gold penoil
givel to oaoh of them. Tbo Ambassadors appeared
profamdly grateful for the liberality and courtesy
displayed by Mr. Simons, and as a token of tbeir
Simmo Boozen No-Kami, and other noble
men presented'him with tbeir autographs. - This
is oortiderod by the Japanese to be a very high
bonorjndeed, as, since their arrival in this coun
try,'tby have, with very few exceptions, declined
the Importunities of the inquisitive and acquisitive
Amerhans who have postered them for these me
montojs of their stay. Captain Porter states, that
although they aro gentlemen of very high scholar
ship, j>t they are accustomed, in Japan, to commit
all their writing to the care of tbeir secretaries.
Noon Wes at hand when they h&dconoluded their
visit to Mr. Simons, and they accordingly repaired
to tho Continental, for tho purpose of obtaining
their dinner. The orowd, whloh had been pretty
large tyring tbo morning, increased to such
an exfent during the dinner hour, that
it was found necessary to call in tbo po
lice to {revent the orowd from storming the
Continental and overwhelming them with tho
strongth, if not tho propriety, of their enthusiasm
for their Btongoli&n guests. The lower apartment
of tho hotel was open to visitors, and many woro
tho ruses attempted to obtain admission to that
portion of the hotel devoted to the Prlnoes and
their retinue. It required all the norvo and
suavity of the ecntinol policeman to keep tho im
portunate and curious orowd of ladlos and gentlo
men from intruding on the Ambassadors.
At. throo oarriagos Here drawn up on
Ninth street, and preparations made for the de
parture of the officials on their tour of observa
tion. This tjovement did not escape the vigilance
of the orowd! who had been danolng attendanoe
beneath the'rays of a noonday sun, and they
formed themtelves into an nndisoiplined battalion
for the purpose of escorting the depnt&tlon. The
oommitteo wtre apprehensive of unpleasant con
sequences, from the number of the orowd, if they
should persist ih their determination to favor them
with their company. Chief Kugglos suggested
that, in order to nvoid this, a couple of
carriages be drawn up in front of the Chestnut
street entrance, as if for the purpose of receiving
the Embassy, and while the orowd were em
ployed in watobing their egress, that they be
escorted into vehicles from the Ninth-street en
trance, with instructions to the drivers to proceed
along Walnut street. This ruse proved successful,
and before it was discovered by the multitude
nearly three-fourths of the visitors ,had departed.
Supposing that it was the intention of the com
mittee to visit the Naval Asylum, the prison, or
-some of the downtown institutions, they'started In
the direction of Moyameneing, in the hope of anti
cipating their arrival. In the meantime, the car
riages drove out Walnut to Broad, along Broad to i
Green, and thenoo to Falrmount park. An&seem-1
bly of two or three hundred persons, a number of j
whom had been attracted on tho route, were there
to meet thorn. Sorno thirty polloomen,,-under
command of Lieut. Burkis, woro on tho ground;
and assisted in the maintenance of order. The
Embassy were driven slowly along the avenues of
the park, and were afforded every opportunity of
examining the magnlfioent and beautiful scenery
with whloh Nature has covered the banks of the
plaoid Schuylkill.
They seemed especially delighted with the pro
spect presented to their view. The mansion bouse,
at the summit of the hill, was thrown open for
their reception, and they were entertained to a
light collation of ohampagne' and bold meats.
They remained in this building for about half an
hour, sitting on the portico, drinking wine, smo
king, some of them cigars, and others their own
pcouliar pipe, and admiring the splendid prospeoV
which extends from this point down the Schuylkill.
Leaving the park, the visitors resumed their car
riages and went over to Fairmount. Here they ex
amined the extensive and complicated machinery
connected with tho department for supplying our
city with water. After they had satisfied their
curiosity they were ushered through a subterranean
avenue into tbe largo reception room used for visi
tors to Fainnonnt. We did*not see anything of
interest to bo witnessed in this apartment, unless
it was some two or three hundred ladies and gentle
men, evidently favored fnends of somebody, who had
assembled there for the purpose of seeing the Japa
nese. After tho ouriosity of the orowd had been
satisfied, and the Japanese bad been sufficiently
examined and| pestered fo* their autographs by
young ladies and gontlemen, they W%re again con
veyed to their carriages and taken to the establish
ment of Messrs, Sellers, in Sixteenth street, where
they witnessed the operations of Iron castings and
machinery. They were shown the different pro
cesses of melting iron, casting moulds, and con
struoting the heavier and more finished parts of
machinery. The melting of the iron and casting
of the moulds seemed to possess more interest' in
their eyes than any other department of the estab
lishment.
From here they were conveyed to the extensive
locomotive works of Messrs. Baldwin A Co. The
afternoon was pretty well advanced, and they con
fined their observations to the ground floor of the
factory. The maohinery for hammering red-hot
iron was attentively examined by them for some
time. The Princes were accompanied by Tommy,
who noted as the interpreter. They very fre
quently asked questions, in order to illustrate suoh
operations of the workmen as they could ndt readily
comprehend. The lateness of the hour, and the noise
and tumult, whloh must have been very disagreea
ble, hastened their departure. On reaohlng their
carriages, they were conveyed to the hotel. On
tbeir arrival at tbe hotel the orowd was as large
as it had been at any time during the day, and con
tinued so until,the hour ot midnight. About nine
o’clock there was an alarm ef fire,'and the firemen
generally contrived to drag their engines past the
hotel, followed by the usual orowd, yelling “ Go in
Japs,” << Hurrah for the Japanese,” and other ex
clamations, more enthusiastic than complimentary.
Those demonstrations on the part of the firemen
attracted a few of the deputation to the windows,
but the hour was late, nod they evidently preferret
the repose of their chamber to the tumultuous de
monstration of the Philadelphia firemen.
Wo may state that the despatoh from California,
in reference to the assassination of the Tycoon of
Japan, was conveyed surreptitiously to some of the
Embassy, in opposition to the wishes of the com
mission. As a matter of course, it created some
little excitement and apprehension among thorn,
although we are led that the Princes dis
credit the report.
The programme for to-day, with the exoeption
of the visit to the Academy of Music, this after
noon, to the matinee prepared by Messrs. Wheat
ley A Clarke, is kept private. We understand
however, that (hey will remain at the hotel unti
they Btart for the Aoademy. It is not yet definite
ly determined as to- the period of their stay. We
suppose, however, that it will not be prolonged
beyond Friday or Saturday.
Monument to the late Robert T. Con
rad. —A handsome monument has been erected at
South Laurel Hill cemetery, over the remains of
the late Robert T. Conrad, by his personal and
politioal friends. The body of Mr. Conrad was
originally interred in North Lanrel Hill cemetery,
but about ten days ago it was disinterred and re
moved to Bouth Laurel Hill, and placed in a vault
within the enclosure surrounding the monument,
which also oontains the remains of his wife. Tbo
monument is a fine specimen of workmanship.
The base is of blue marble, upon which is placed a
largo block of light-brown .sandstone, having
rounded oorners tastefully carved. Eaoh ef the
four sides of this block oontains a white panel,
bearing the following inscriptions:

CONSOLIDATED ci«t W
PHILADELPHIA.
Above the block bearing these inscriptions rises
a fine fluted shaft, of brown stone, and surmounting
the column Is a white Italian marble urn, hand
somely carved, and ornamented with a garland of
flowers, hangiag in festoons. The height of the
whole is about twenty feet. The spot selected for
the monument is a mnt beautiful one. It is built
dtreotly upon a heavy mass of rock, about sixty
feet above the river read, and in full view of the
river Schuylkill, from whence it oan be seen by
persons passing on the steamboats The rook at
this point Is rugged and precipitous, the weßtorn
side being almost perpendicular, down to the
river-side. - JThe monument had been com
pleted. all except plsoing tbe urn on the top
of the shaft, wbioh was performed yester
day afternoon, in prsssnoe of a number of the
friends of the deceased, both.ladies sad gentlemen.
The urn was raised to its position by means of
a derrick, and after it had been scoured by the
workmen, Edward Grats, Esq., stated that shortly
after tho death of Mr. Conrad, a few friends had
met and resolved to erect a monument to his me
mory. The neoessaTy funds had been raised, and
it would have been erected last fall, hut the season
being too far advanced, it was decided te postpone
it until the present summer. After paying a high
tributo to the ohsraoter of Mr. Conrad, Mr. Gratz
introduced Daniel Dougherty, Esq., who made a
very impressive and eloquent address, which was
listened to with deep and earnest attention. He
said:
We are gathered around the grave of Bobert
T. Conrad, to witness the monument, which has
just been reared to mark the spot where he lies
buried.
gJjWe, geatlemen-eontrlbatbri, clatmedof his kin
dred the privilege to build his tomb—they yielded
to our request—and to-day, with mournful satisfac
tion, we view our work completed
Here we take ear last formal farewell of the
ohorishod dust of him who will be remembered by
tho world as the upright Judge, the brilliant ora
tor, and the distinguished poet; but who was en
deared to us by the less exalted yet still nobler
name of Frtend .
I am not here to speak to you the story of his
lifo, to reoountthe triumphs of his intelleot, the
honors that a generous people showered on him—
the private oitisen: these, these will be tho
themes for other tongues, at other times, addressed
to those who knew him not.
In this seoluded spot, without ostentation or
vain praise with simple ceremonials, wa inaugu
rate the monument that will tell to after times
whore moulders the dust of one whose genius
mado him famous in life, and will ever shedlustro
on American literature.
It is rarely that genius is rewarded during the
brief lybile it tarries on the earth.
The illustnous men, who, in the quiet shades of
soienoe, amid the gentle groves of oalm philoso
phy, the solitude of the student’s cell, or the
poet’s study, after years of intellectual toll have
brought forth the treasures of thought that enrich
munkind, have too often passed through life
chilled to the heart by cold negleot, and glided
into the grave with scarce a sigh to mark their
going.
When their mortal frames oease to hold captive
their mortal minds, the world awakes to the ap
preciation of their wondrous worth, and their
names booome the chief glory of their nations.
Ho. too, will it be with Conrad. We never more
shall gaze upon the form of our departed friend; nev
er more will hear the melting tnnslo of his matobless
voioe, nor ever feel his welcome grasp, but so long
as this stone shall stand above the ground ; long
as the winds of winter will Badly sing his requiem
through these trees; long as tho earth shall be
green in summer ; so long as yon stream shall flow
down by the great city that he loved so well, and
of whioh in life he was tho ornament—so long will
this spot be visited by sohoiars and travelers oven
from afar, for ;
“Suoh graves as bis Are pilgrims’ shrines,
Bhnne« to no oreea or oode confined,
The Delphian vales, the .Pnleitines,
The Mecoa of tha mind.”
After Mr. Dougherty had oonoluded, Wm. D.
Kelley, Esq., in some very appropriate remarks,
paid a high tribute to the deceased as a journalist,
a lawyer, a jurist, a poet, and a Christian.
David Taggart, Esq., of Northumberland, who
was present, was introduced by Mr. Gratz. Mr.
T. said ho had known Mr. Conrad for fifteen years
of his life, and there were few he had loved so
well.
This address closed the ceremonies, after whioh
the assemblage dispersed.
The monument cost $1,500, whioh was raised en
tirely by the contributions of the friends of the do*
ooased.
Fatal Accident.—Last evening; about
7 o’olook, a German, named Jacob Kleiber, re
siding at No. '1207 Marshall Girard
avenue, while trying to get into a furniture car,
at Girard-avenue Park, fell, when the wheels
passed over his breast, killing him instantly. He
was taken to his residence, and the Coroner noti
fied to hold an inquest, whioh will tako place this
morning.
Burglary.—On Saturday night the house
of Mr. William Whitaohar, at Cedar Grove, In the
Twenty-third ward, was entered and robbed of a
large quantity of olotbing, harness, &o. 'Two men
were arrested on the oharge, and held for a further
hearing.
Oaved lN.*—On Sunday afternoon a
large flag-stone over a vault at the northwest cor
ner of Fourth and Race streets oaved in. The stone
has been in an unsafe condition for some time past,
and it Is very fortunate that no person was passing
at the time the accident occurred.
/ Psttt Labcknt.—A man named -Henry
Dcmohuewts yesterday held.*by 'Alderman 33eitler,
to answer the charge of stealing a number of small
artloles from his employer.
Air Extraordinary Case.— ln the bo
rough df GenaiiktcWß Waldo an old German
couple, named Christian and Catharine Easaw,
the former being about seventy, and the latter
sixty* five years of age. They arrived in this
country eome twenty.five or'; thirty years ago,
and by dint of hard labor, penurious and miserly
. habits, and by practising ‘ the strioteet economy,
have succeeded in aeenmnlaUng property to the
amount of about fifteen thousand dollars. They
raised to maturity a family of eight children, all
of whom, strange to relate, have tipce died. It
appears that Mr. Easaw left an illegitimate son
in Germany, who has also raised a family. ,
Old Mr. Easaw wrote for two of his grandchil* I
dren last fall, stating that Ms own offspring had
been removed by death ; that he was riehiathla
world’s goods, and that he would treat them kindly
if they accepted his offer. Two of his son’s daugh
ters, therefore, Christine and Mena, aged sixteen
and nineteen, left their fatherland, braved
the perils of the deep, and arrived at Mr.
Easaw’s house in safety, fie was glad to
see them, and treated them very kindly.
His wife, on the contrary, who Is said to be one
ef the most hardened characters than oan be
imagined, compelled the young girls to perform
arduous servioo, such as quarrying stone, working
on the farm, and other duties for which they were
entirely unfitted. Their food, too, as prepared by
Mrs. Eas&w, was of the most unwholesome and
unpalatable ohar&oter. The girls—strangers in
our country, and unacquainted with our laws—
were afraid to enter oomplaint and, therefore
submitted to the most inhuman treatment until a
week or ten days ago, when they escaped from
the house, and took refuge at the house of a
German barber named Kayler, residing In that vi
cinity. They then" disclosed to him all that had
transpired, and stated that between Deoember and
April last, Mrs. Baa aw had no less than four times
endeavored to persuade them to fire one of their
tenant houses located on Wistar street. This te
nant house is one of the oldest in Germantown,
and Mrs. Easawtold the girls it was hardly worth
repairing,and that it might as well be burned down,
offering them, as an inducement to fire the house,
the sum of fifty dollars. This they of oourse
refused to, do. Mrs. Eaiaw told them they
would esoape any serious punishment If detected,
and even if arrested, that she and her husband
would swear them out. She said she would like to
have the house burned, as she would then receive
six hundred dollars insurance from the German
town Mutual Insurance Company, which would
enable her to build two stores on the site Itoeoupies.
The above facts were detailed by the barber totbe
police of Germantown, and subsequently to Doctor
Blackburn, who questioned the girls separately,
and found both told the same story. Mayor Heary
issued a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Easaw,
on the charge of inciting or oouneeiling'the girls
to fire the building, and on Friday evening last
she was taken before Alderman King at German
town, and held in $l,OOO bail, to answer the
charge at court. The girls fully exonerated their
grandfather from any share in the matter. Mrs.
Easaw, although sixty-five yean of age, is a re
markably stalwart woman, and-is well known to
tbe police as an ugly person to deal with.
The Thirteen Commissioners. —The
