Kay not an American Citizen be pre■
eident of the United States?
The grave question is presently to be de
cided whether a citizen of the United States,
constitutionally elected, to the Presidency,
shall be permitted to perform the functions of
that high office? We notice daily signs In the
Southern papers, and read frequent letters
from Southern politicians, all tending to one
point, viz: That if Mi. Loom; should be
elected it will become the duty of the South
ern peopli to make instant preparations for a
secession from the Union. Upon the basis of
this threat many interests in Northern com
munities have been terrified, and many influ
ences controlled. So industriously bas it been
persisted in, that at this day hundreds of citi
zens of Philadelphia have allowed themselves
to believe In it, mid more than one man who
has heretofore depended upon his own energy,
enterprise, and talent, to support himself and
his family, has been convinced that if Mr. lax
cora should be elected President he will be
ruined.
We are not for lattoots in this fight. We
cannot say that we are neither for Caesar nor
for Antony, for we are for Donozas, and for
him squarely and sincerely ; but is not all this
sort of intimidation unworthy of American
citizens and sensible men.? Is' it not dis
graceful that mere traders in politics in the
Southern States, and so vile a wretch, so un
scrupulous and remorseless a knave In the
free States, ono so utterly debased, privately
and publicly, tuf the editor of the New York
Herald, and those affiliated with him, should
be permitted to exercise a sort of terrorism
over American citizens?
These arc the conjoint influences that
threaten, in a certain event, to destroy the
Union, on the one hand, and on the other to
break np the foundations of credit. Ought
wo not to be ashamed of ourselves, as human
beings, to allow any such arguments as these
to affect us? It will be a dark hour for this
Republio when any citizen, constitutionally
elected to the Presidency, cannot bo inaugu
rated, and permitted to• make a trial in that
high office. Oar own belief is, that no Ame
rican can be chosen Chief Magistrate without
ittiministering the duties of that office in strict
justice to all sections of the Union. The very
position itself will make him conservative and
just. Be could not be sectional if he would. Be
could no more shut his oyes to the rights of
the South than he could close his_ heart to the a
rights of tho North; and wo have sufficiently
good opinion oven of the worst of Mr. Lug
ocuat's enemies (for they, too, aro American
citizens) to believe that, if he should he tri
umphant in this fight, they themselves would
be ready to consent to be sacrificed to the
success of his Administration.
Fellow-countrymen, there will be no dis
union. Merchants and manufacturers of Phila
delphia, there will be•no eeeession. What the
enemies of this Republic in the South fear is,
that the Northern people may put them to the
test. Vote your own sentiments, rely upon
the love that all the people of the United
States, North and South, feel for the union of
these States, and the sequel will vindicate the
experiment.
Tho Explosion of Steam Boilers.
The explosion of a steam boiler at Mann
yunk yesterday morning is an event full of
significant warning, and should' awaken the
earnest attention of our citizens. This great
manufacturing centre contains an immense
number of these powerfld machines, and it is
to be feared that not a few of them are in au
unsafe condition, or under the management of
engineers who are not at all times as careful
as they should be. The explosion of the
boilers of stationary engines is beginning to
be one Of the common accidents'of the day.
It is not long since a boiler exploded at New
York; only a few days ago we published
„in' account of another terrible explosion at
l'ittaburg; and now we are called upon to
chronicle a similar disaster in our own Imme
diate' vicinity.
The idea of erecting a number of powder
magazines throughout a densely populated
city would not be tolerated for an instant, but
experience has demonstrated that badly
eonstructed or badly-managed steam•boilers
are scarcelyiesa dangerous; and, as our bust
nees Interests demand that they should be
used, oven iu our most crowded thorough.
fares, the safety of the community requires
that prover precautions he taken to prevent
the terrible accidents which are becoming fear
fully frequent.
The causes of explosion are more numerous
than those who are not familiar with this sub
ject are apt to suppose. They have been
known to occur from accumulated internal
pressure, from deficiency of water, from col=
lapse, from defective construction, and from
the mistnattagienent or ignorance of engineers,
even when the boilers were in a good condi
tion. It ie a consolation to know, however,
that by proper attention safeguards can be
established against allthese dangers ; but we
fear that unless public attention is earnestly
directed to the subject, there will add be some
establishments in which the.necossary precau
tions will not be observed.
In Now York, we believe, it has been made
the duty of policemen to inspect the various
steam boilers of the city, but this system has
not served any very useful purpose, as it has
practically degenerated into a sort of black
mail operation. But it is worthy of conside
ration whether a competent inspector, who is
a good engineer, should not be appointed to
visit all the steam works among us, and, where
any serious defect is discovered, to insist upon
the necessary repairs. At all events, whether
this is done or not, it Is to be hoped that the
disaster at Manayunk will deeply impress all
concerned in the ownership or management of
boilers with the importilisce of thoroughly
overruling them.
The Kingdom of Italy.
Next to the Safety of prophesying after the
tact, comes that of vatleination upon grounds
of positive certainty. We come within the
latter category when we declare that, ore the
"ides of March" have arrived, Yu:lron-Ex
wanar. must and will be Master of Italy.
The Grand Duchies of Tuscany,-Modena,
and Parma—each a sovereignty in itself—the
Viceroyalty of Lombardy, the Kingdom of
the Two Sicilles, and the greater portion Cl
the 'States of the Church, already belong to
what, eighteen months ago, was the petty
Kingdom of Sardinia. Rome, Ancona, Vi
terbo, and Civita Vecchia were the only places,
in the Papal dominions, which, at the last ad.
vices, bad not actually fallen into tho pos
session of the King of Sardinia. No doubt,
all of these will speedily fall. Rome, it is
possible, may be preserved as the residence of
the Pope—isolated, with a small surrounding
territory, like our own District of Columbia;
but even this will scarcely be done, if tho Pope
should abandon the seat of the Holy See, and
seek asylum in Spain or Austria. In that
case, it may be said,
" He parts, like AJud, never to return."
It may be doubted whether, 'with all his
boldness, and even backed as ho is by the
Neapolitan navy, GARIBALDI will attack
Venice. Re will scarcely do this, provoking
and tempting the Emperor of Austria to take
up arms against him, while there is a fair
chance of obtaining Venetia by purchase. This
done, and surely it is on the cards, Italy will
realize NAPOLEON'S vaunt, and, under VICTOR
EILIAANIIEL, really become if free from Alp to
Appenlne."
It is rumored, and ef " domed by
the Government - newspaper at Turin, that
GARIBALDI and VICTOR-EXHAROIL have quar
reled—that G.►azaannr demands the dismissal
of Count 411.Voun and ex-Dictator FARIN/,
and asks for 80,000 Sardinians to garrison
Naples. We believe one third of this report—
namely, that GARIBALDI asks for the dismissal
of /Kam, who interfered so much with him
in Sicily, that he had to be sent out of the
island.
The worst thing that Vtorost-Eststinnsr.
could do, at this crisis, is to quarrel with GA
imam, the most popular man now in Italy.
Nor, until it reach us from good authority,
shall we believe that he has dono so.

WASHINGTON, D. G. Ootobor 3, 1860
The Disunion papers are greatly elated bonus°
the Governor elect of Missouri, Col. Jackson, has
taken.' ground in favor of Breokinridge. Col.
Jaokson was elected by the friends of Judge Dou
glas, and Declared their votes by accepting Dou
glas as the regular Demooratio nominee—without
which he could not to-day be milled the chief ma
gistrate of Missouri. It does not become me to
ditroplain of the course of Col. Jackson since hie
election, but his conduct suggests a moral which
might be applied with gieat effect elsewhere. No
man ehould run for a high representative position
to the present canvass, and refuse to express bid
proforma between the candidates for the , Presi
dency. I beliove that Gen. Faster ie the friend of
Judge Douglas, but he must be aware that there is
as much difference between Douglas and Breokin
ridge, in point of principle, and as wide anti irre
parable n breaoh between the friends of both, as
there is between the n day and the night; and that,
I however he may desire to avoid giving offence, he
will be compelled to take sides after the, October
election.
Tho daily organ of the Administration in Phila
delphia has at last Natured an accomplished anti
experienced editor. The difficulty in the manage
ment of that journal heretofore has been in the fact
that no one could be found sufficiently rookies* to
consistency, and disdainful of publics opinion, to
organizOand supervise the editorial department.
Teems who have been appointed to conduot it have,
One after the other s fainted by the wayside, or indig
nantly rejected the task eat for them. Some re
tiised to work without being paid, others because
they would not submit to the censorship of the
offloe-holders, and one or two on account of the
disagreeable nature of the job itself. At last,
however, a facile and fertile intellect has been die
covered ready to do the work, and eager to defend
the worst acts of the Administration and the
Southern leaders of the Disunion party.
If you will read over the columns of the custom
house organ in your city, you oannot fail to detect
in ita editoriais the sentiments and style of the ex
commissioner to China, William B. Recd. The ar
ticle oritioislng the totter of Hon. William M. Me
redith, in that paper of Tuesday last, is undoubt
edly the offspring of his brain, and it is no difficult
matter to point out other productions from the
same source that appear daily in that mercenary
sheet. Mr. Reed is a grateful man, and oannot
forget the kindness of Mr. Buchanan to him. He
may have forgotten Clay, Mobster, Taylor, and all
his pleasant associations with Thaddeus Stevens,
Joseph Ritnor, and Thomas H. Burma ; 'but
some of these are dead, and iho rest no longer
able or willing to help Mr. Reed. He can, how
over, never forget, or sufficiently repay, the
generosity of James Buohanan, and, there
fore, he seeks every opportunity to show his
genes of these obligations. What higher cervice
could he render to the Administration—what more
grateful return could he make to Mr. Buchanan
than by assisting the efforts of the Secessionists to
• break up the Democratic party? And, therefore,
it is that, In these things, be has characteristically
come forward to aid the religions relaxation of the
high and lofty Chief Magistrate of the 'United
States—viz: that of justifying the enemies of the
Constitution, and that of preparing our people for
a dissolution of the Union in the event of the elec
tion of Mr. Lincoln. But is it not a little odd that
Mr. Reed, whose whole life has been spent in ridi
culing Southern declaimers against the Union, and
who, even so late as ISM prepared choice pamph
lets in favor of Mr. Buchanan, equarely telling the
South that Pennsylvania anti the free States would
not submit to their demands, should now, forsooth,
be the most active, industrious, and dangerous of
all the men who deolare that Mr. Lincoln's elec
tion will produce a dissolution of the Union?
Apropos of the morning organ of the engem
house in your pity., The person in whose name it
is printed, and who Is now claiming the usual con
sideration at the hands of the fast-failing and ra
pidly-dying-out Administration here, turns entr—
ee I learn from a constant reader of his journal—
to have been the utter or messenger of Collector
Baker, before he was elevated to the constructive
management of that paper. Ail those who called
upon the collector would he denied or introduced
to his sacred presence, as he desired, by the pre
seat ostensible conductor of the custom-honeo organ.
He knew whom to refuse and whom to pass in.
He knew William B. Rood, the placid Carker of
the Sumba movement in Pennsylvania; he
knew Henry M. Phillips, the kind hut cun
ning counsellor ; he knew Senator Bigler, the
great personal pronoun of the !ttiministra-
Hon; be knew Robert Tyler, the poet and the pa-
Wet ; he know 'Vincent L. Bradford, whose ideas
are in an inverse proportion to his language ; he
knew Richardson L. Wright, so violent an to prin
ciple before and so noisy after an elootion; he
know Andrew Miller, that exquisite speoimen of
an economist and demagogue; he knew George
Washington Baker, the sometime California, some
time anti-Lecomptonite, and constant reviler of
Mr. Buchanan—in a word, he knew all the ehlefe
of the Disunion party in Pennsylvania and else
where. Who better fitted, therefore, to preside as
a sort of figure-head over the enstoca-honee organ
than the messenger of Mr. Collector Baker? He
will have neither thinking nor writing to do. All
that will be required of him will be to accept
what the Administration leaders may send to him,
and to eroded° all those whose counsels may not
he acceptable to his masters. OCCASIONAL,.
The etty GRA.
IFor The Press.]
Mn, EDITOR ; Within the last three years my
gas bills have doubled. No change has occurred
in my house, nor in my family, nor in our habits,
nor in the price per thousand feet of gas, that will
account far any increase in the cost of Het. The
same thing is complained of by my neighbors.
The instances known to me aro very numerous ; I
believe they aro general. I am not aware of
any exceptions. I happen to live in that quarter
of the city where the gas is manufactured,
and, perhaps, the pressure required to force
the gas to the most distant points sup
plied by the same works, may have had some
thing to do with the overcharge in my bile. The
change has happened since the several gas works
have been centralised. If this be one of the
causes, the arrangement, or want of arrangement,
is just ground of complaint ; for it only explains
the injury without removing the wrong. Either
the gas works ought not to have been thus consoli
dated, or the machinery of delivery should be
modified, or the measurement and price charged
should be equitably adjusted. '
But I know that it is not the sole cause, nor de I
believe it to be even the principal one. The gas
supplied to me, and in my ommediate neighbor.
hood, while it is measured or metered to us at
double the quantity, is so far inferior in quality
that a cooking stove which, throe years ago,
answered admirably with much lees than the
whole supply of the pipe connected with it, has
become incapable of some of its services since the
time of the doubling of the bills. Snoh a stove
was totally abandoned last summer on this account.
By this test, which Is a clear and eODOiIISITO Me
deal proof that the heating power of the city gas
has very greatly diminished, it is plainly proved
that the quality of the gas is greatly deteriorated.
There might be a reason for raising the prim, per
thousand, bat there is a wrong and an imposture
in debasing the article. The conciliator is entitled
to know what ho is getting, as well as what he is
paying for it. Let us not be deceived in the light
we see Iv.
While on this subject, let me state other mis
chiefs of which, as a citizen and a tax payer, I
have equally good grounds of complaint At least
lot me submit them for the consideration of those
who have the power to apply a remedy :
It was stated recently in one of our newspapers
that the amount paid for lighting the city has
grown from $24,000, in 1850, to $OB,OOO in 1859
quadrupled in nine years ! Are excessive pressure
and deterioration at work here too? What else
can mount for it? As a tax-payer lam concern
ed, and the responsible parties will not consider
a public notice of it impertinent, unison the ex
planation be very embarrassing.
Again—and worse still and more of it—the waste
of gas has been increasing frightfully—waste by
leakage or escape between the place of manufac
ture and consumption. In 1850 the quantity made
was 282,000,000 feet—the quantity lost by leakage
and consumed at the works was 2,018,820 feet, or a
little snore than one per cent. In 1858 the quanti
ty made was 480,000,000, and the loss by leakage
above 35,000,000, or eight per cent. Last year the
quantity made was 562,000,000. and the loss up to
88,000,000, or twelve per cent N What does all
this mean?
, Last year, if lem not misinformed, $400,000 wee
added to the pity debt for the purpose of carrying
out the consolidating, centralizing, and monopoli
zing system of our gas arrangements, with the im
mediate effect of increasing the leakage from
eight to twelve per cent. Just now, another half
million le asked from the city. Is that sum ap
plied to produce its proportion of increase in the
leakage of the gas? Is it to run up to sixteen per
cent next year?
As ono of the owners of this City property, I
want light upon this subjest, and, an a oonsumer cf
gas, I want my light Clear and honest; and, with

ing that allegiance has been severed, your Lord

Ar,itawr, October 3.—The Democratic Pt..% Com
mittee met at one o'clock. fialeigel r, Butterworth
attended on behalf of the UoleD Mee of New York
city, and Alderman Dayton, of Brooklyn, repre
sented the Union mon of Kings county.
The proposition for placing el' Union etcetera on
the Douglas tioket to fill manatee, and for patting
Henry 8. Randall on for elector at large, appeared
perfectly acoeptable to the State Committee, pro
vided that the parties than pieced oa the Whet
will accept and deolitre themselves favorable to
fatten.
It is rumored that Mr. Randall refuses to accept
formally. but states that he will not decline, on
the ground that be cannot prevent any parsons
who ohoose from voting for him. As this leaves
him itt reality in an antagonistio position to enion,
and still identified with the Greene electoral
tioket, it will probably be considered for refusing
to;accept his name. In that event Mr. Bronson's
name will be substituted.
Messrs Brady, Greene, and others of the Greene
organisation, are hero meeting very privately.
They are said to be anxious now to make a propo
sition for union on the Biato ticket, and to oomo
into the union on the eleotoral ticket. It is pro.
posed that Mr. Crane, of Iferkimor, be nominated
for Lieutenant Governor, and that Mr. Brady shall
withdraw, No proposition will be made openly by
them until the final result of the union question is
known.
Thom seems littlo doubt that a 111110/3 will be
effected, with Mr. Bronson as etoctor-at•large, and
Messrs. Brower. Westervelt, Butterworth, and
three others on the electoral ticket.

recently appointed to inquire whether ho intended
to support Douglas or Breokinridge. His speech,
delivered yesterday, wan in reply to the interro
gatories propounded by the committee. He corn
mewed by stating that he was never more anxious
to be understood, and desired the serious attention
of every one present. Re elated emphatically that
before his election he believed that Mr. Dotiglee
was the nominee of the Democratic party, and so
he new believed. Ile spoke of Ids efforts to
secure harmonious action between the Demo

ridge Convention, regretting his failure, and he
challenged any Breokinridge manpresent to say
that he uttered any remark in the Convention in
dicating that ho had ()hanged his opinions or de
signed supporting Breokinridge and Lane. Ho
then gave his reasons for supporting Douglas, and.
concluded by saying that, to prevent nil misappre
hension, " I now say that I am for Mr. Douglas ;
that it to my duty to support him as the nominee
of the tarty. I formed my opinion that Douglas
was the regular nominee from the reports of the
Baltimore Exchange, a Breokinridge paper, and
if I live until November, will vote for him, and I
have never said that I intended to do anything
else." [Greet applause ]

TEENTH WARD.
VERDICT OF THE CORONERN JERI.
THOMAS 1, ARMSTRONG COMMITTED AS
THE MURDERER
Last evening, the coroner's jury, investigating
the case of the murder of Robert Crawford, on
Friday week last, met again at the Nineteenth.
ward station house. Several companions of the
prisoner, Armatrong, were examined, but they
shed little or no light upon the tragical occurrence.
Another witness, however, named Maurlee B.
Murphy„, was produced, who saw the wagon on the
'night of the murder, in the vicinity of the spot
where the body of the murdered man was found.
Be took particular notice of it, for the reasons
given in his testimony below. Since the arrest of
Armstrong, Murphy has visited Vansciver'a livery
stable, and, unaided, picked out the identical
wagon which had been hired by Armstrong on the
evening in question, and also identified a horse
standing In the stable as being the one which was
attached to the wagon he saw on the night of the
murder.
The coroner's jury have given the subject a very
patient and impartial Investigation, and every
thing that could be done has been done to hunt up
testimony, which would either fasten the guilt
upon the prisoner or clear him of the crime. The
lower part of the Neck has been visited by the
police, and almost every farmer asked if they have
been robbed of any chickens within the past two
weeks. No one could be discovered who has missed
any within that time. The man and woman whom
the prisoner alleges got into his wagon on the night
in question, with chickens in their possession, have
been advertised for, and search made in every di
rection for persons answering their description,
but in vain. No such persons can be found.
These filets, together with hie borrowing a loaded
pistol on the night of the murder, for the purpose,
as he alleges, ut shooting oats and returning it on
the next evening discharged, and the discrepancy
between his statement and that of the storekeeper
In regard to the kind of money he paid for a pair
of new boots on the day after the murder, form a
mass of testimony which points directly to him as
the guilty party, as strongly as circumstantial
evidence can go.
The following testimony was given beforo the
inquest last evening :
Wm. Geisler "worm—Resides iu Front street. second
door below Norris; on last Friday evening n week,
about 9% o'clock, 1 started front hrioerown in the oars'
I getout of the Care at Germantown road and Diamond_
Arent. and then crossed the lot or square about the
mild aof the equate. whioli rune from Hanoock and
Howard street.; I sow a wagon stop; I took notice of
size;i'e it woe a two-neared wagon ; it stopped about
I?.i . or 2 minutes; it seemed all quiet around the wagon ;
I think there wog but one horse to the wagon; the
wagon then came towards Howard street on a trot;
don't know what time it was, except from what the girl

EXPLOSION OP A BOILER AT MANATUNX.
—Yesterday morning, shortly before 8 o'olock, ono
of a range of five boilers, which had recently been
placed in the yarn and Rentuoky jean tnanufacto•
ry of Messrs. R. W. IJ. Preston, at Manayunk,
exploded with a tremendous report The factory
is situated on the banks of tho Schuylkill, and
there are between 200 and 300 operatives employed
io it The hands hod j tel about got to work when
the explosion occurred. and a terrible p.tnio ensued,
though fortunately unattended with serious °mom
quences.
The boilers were situated in a small engine
house, detached from the main building, and the
head of the boiler in the direction pointing away
from the manufactory was blown our. The steam
from the whole range instantly escaped, while the
engine -holm was blown into ruins. The exploded
boiler was dung from its position and alighted upon
a wagon stan dug in the yard waiting for a load.
The fireman, James Rutherford, was attending to
the fires at the moment of explosion. He was ter
ribly scalded, and crawled out from under the
pins with hardly a attest' of clothes en—they had
been torn off by the steam. His injuries may prove
l. Thefeta engineer wee also in the engine-house,
but was unhurt. Mr J. Preston, one et the firm,
was in the yard Ile wee badly scalded about the
head and shoulders, Several of the operatives,
men and children, were also scalded about the
limbs
The staircase of the mill is located near where
the explosion occurred, and the mill was instantly
enveloped in steam. The operatives, imagining
tb mill on fire, attempted to escape by the win
dows. One of them, Miss Allots Brown, jumped
from a window and broke her leg. Rolle of Moth
were flung from the windows, and tho boys slid
down them to the ground.
Of course, the pouie among the relatives of the
operatives was great, and mothers frantically
searched for their children, wives for their /sus- i
bands, and brothers and sisters for each other,
making up a aeons of excitement and confusion.
Plecea of iron and stone were blown clear into
the Schuylkill, and the force of the explosion
dashed out the window sashes of the mill and shook
all the buildings in the vicinity. The machinery
within the mill was also somewhat damaged. The
loss has not been correctly estimated yet, but it
will be between $3,000 and $4,000. The operations
of the mill wilt bo temporarily suspended. The
boilers were about six years old, and were re
garded as per fec.ly safe. The engineer and fire
man are steady moo, and they declare that the
mune of the explosion is a mystery to them, as
ever) thing appeared to bo right a moment before
the explosion.

GREAT PEOPLE'S PARADE AND TORCILLIGET
PROCESSION.
RECEPTION OE ANDREW G. CURTIN
Sennett and incident:4
The 'people's pirty of this city bad made ex
tensive preparations for a grand torch-light pro
cession on Monday night. The un'avorable condi
tion of the Weather upon that occasion resulted in
a postponement of the public reception of Mr.
Curtin until last evening, it which time the dis
play took place.
TE CITIZZI(111 . Will
Mot at Independence bquare at 7 o'olook. It
was oompoeed entirely of citizens, many of whom
had never befoie paraded. They were a wa y se .
cleat tariff meh and radical Republicans, me
chantey, tradesmen, shopkeepers, ito. A 'large
number were gray haired, yet shouldered a lan
tern and made the march with the alacrity and
enthusiasm of boys. They congregated in the
square, distinguished by a paper badge bearing
the motto,
PRIIICIPLBS NOT
Lanterns were furnished them by the pity
ex
ecutive committee. We counted them before they
marched from the square, and recorded them as
tour hundred. Accessions wore made to this num
ber on the route to Broad and Oallowhill streets ;
It is probable that six hundred soiree, citizens
marched under the mammoth transparency. These
mon evidenced in expression and similitude a so
harness of purpose more impressive than all the
antics, enthusiasm, thoughtlessneee, and pa
pantry of the Wide-Awakes. A few were young
enough to bring oat the vigor of years of the great
mass; the latter did not cheer along the whole
Deb of parade; their ',nonce was more significant
of determination than the wildest enthusiasm of
the more riotous.
THE MERCANTILE TARIFF CLUB
Met at National - Hall. Nearly one thousand men
marched behind its transparency ; anal - man pa
raded with a Web and a Lincoln badge. We
identified fully one-fourth of the number as mer
chants upon Market, Third, and Front streets.
The remainder were clerks and petty retailers.
Cheer after cheer ascended from those at National
Hall. In a bantering sort of oonversation the
new arrivals were welcomed. A general defi
ance was expressed for cotton, and much treason
able talk resulted from a comparison of the right
of labor and the power of capital. A due band of
music accompanied the club. All expenses were
settled, we are told, by a few merchants.
TUE WARD ChVBS
And minor organizations met at the several head
quarters at an early hour in the evening. To sup
ply the large number of these (lubs, every band
of music in the city was engaged. The consnmp
Lion of fluid was very great. One club on Chest
nut street required more than sixty gallons. At
o'olook every street in the city was blazing with
light and quivering with music. Toward north
E road arrest the entire array was tending ; crowds
of people had already assembled in the streets;
ladies arrayed themselves in the most attractive
evening garb, and the residents of avenues over
which the procession was to pass found themselves
overrun with friends. We have seldom witnessed
a more animated display than that of yesterday
afternoon and early evening.
TIM NUMERR PARTICIPATING
There were, doubtless, six thousand men in
the parade. Some enthusiastic Republicans claim
twelve thousand men; political opponents award
five thousand.
THE PP.OOESSION
Was ono of the best organized, drilled, and
equipped, in proportion to its numbers, that we
have ever witneateti. Tho annals of political
events in Philadelphia certainly fail to recall a
single torch-light parade of approximate dimen
sions. The following curious computation was
banded ue by a dabbler in statistics :
Number of barrels of fluid conentnett......— 12

'the line was formed in tan grand divisions ' each
headed by an assistant marshal, the whole being
under command of Peter Elimakor, Esq. Every
ward in the city was represented, and in addition,
there were delegations from Wilmington, Del.,
Camden, Burlington, Mount holly, Bristol, and
Beverly, New Jersey, and a deputation from Nor
ristown, Montgomery county.
Hon: A. G. Curtin, the candidate for Governor,
rode In an open barouche in the lino, and his ap
pearance excited the greatest enthusiasm along
the whole route.
. .
It was estimated that there were from five
thousand to elx thousand men In line. A large
portion of them were mounted, which presented a
very novel feature.
E3=I:U
At this late hour it will be impossible to give
detailed accounts of the appearance of every club.
Tho accoutrements were of the most varied °ham
ter—eaps and capes loomed up ofevery color; there
were representations of savages, and soldiers, and
sailors. We noticed in one case a father in uni
form ; clustering about hiin were his funr chil
dren, in eimilargarb. One of them held a lantern,
on which was inscribed, " Give tie a free home in
the far West, for we are poor." On the reverse :
" Tho father and the children ask protection.''
The youngest of these boys was about ten years
old. lie appeared rather fagged out as the pro.
cession disbanded, and really needed "protec
tion "
The devioe3 ware numberless: One individual
was constantly ringing a bell with a muffled clap
per. Above hit head on an idatuinated horn was
inectibed " The 801 l orer."
The 'ffeot of the numerous lights extending for
more than two miles was very grand. The street
was on fire; night seemed turned into day; cheers
gushed , up as the line pawed on ; all was enthu
siasm. The pm:maims was an hour and a quarter
in passing Fourth and Market streets Col. Cur
tin stood in his harm:mkt over the entire route,
bowing from aide to side In aoknowledgment of
repeated oheera.
PRILADRI.PAIA. FOCIXIT FOR PROMOTING
A onictrtironn —The stated meeting of the society
was hold yesterday morning, at the rooms, Chest
nut street, below Seventh
Mr. O. W llarrison, from the Committee of
Arrangements of the late Fair, reported that the
committee wore not yet ready to present their re
port in full Ile romanced, however, that the dis
play of cattle had surpassed any exhibition ever
held in this city. The exhibition of swine, Sheep,
and horses was also very good.
The president, on behalf of the proprietor of a
pondrette establishment, extended an invitation to
the members of the society to visit his factory at
any time, and examine the mode of operation pur
sued.
This invitation brought up the subject of the
use of concentrated manures, and a disonenon of
more than an hour's length ensued as to the pro
priety of the society taking any action in the mat
ter, inasmuch as the recommendation of any par
ticular description of manure would bo used by
the manufacturer of it as an advertisement. A
diversity of opinion prevailed also as to whether
the society or a committee of its members should
not consider and report the general remits pro
duced by the nee of particular kinds of manure, or
whether they should only confine themselves to
analyzing the component parts of an article, with
out expressing any opinion as to its fertilizing
properties. The great diffloully in the way ap
peared to bo that seine manufacturers of conceit
trated manures would furnish specimens for exhi
bition and analyration, of a superior kind, but if
a purchaser would buy a lot from the same manu
facturer or his agent, unexpectedly, and have it
analyzed, it would often be found that such lots
were inferior to the specimens submitted by the
manufacturer expressly for exhibition end analy
cation. It was asserted that farmers complain
very much of the Imposition practiced upon them
in this respect
Mr. Sidney G. Fisher thought that the chemist
of the society, Prof. Booth, should analyze speci
mens to be procured by a committee of the society,
who should visit the factories of the manufacturers
at unexpected periods. In this way it might be
ascertained which manufacturers conformed to
their samples, and those who do not.
Prof. Booth said such analyzations would be
very expensive, costing in each ease from $l5 to
$25, and it would be a matter for the society to
consider whether they would incur the expense or
put it non the manufacturer- Without intending
to express en opinion upon the merits of any ma.
Bare new offered for sale, he said that, after all,
he considered that stable manure was the most
' stable article of the kind a farmer should use, and
it should be his math dependance
Dr. Charles King was of opinion that there
should be an Inspector of concentrated manures
appointed by law, whose duty should be to inspect
all manure offered for tale, in the same manner
that flour and other articles are inspected before
being offered for eats, to prevent imposition upon
purchasers.
Mr. S. G. Fisher took the came view, and men
tioned a ease where a cargo of manure had been
imported into Baltimore, which was of superior
quality, containing five par cent. of ammonia.
The most satisfactory results were produced by its
use. But another cargo of what was sold es the
same quality of manure wesimi?orted, and on Be be
ing tested it was found to contain only one percent.
of ammonia. The first cargo had evidently been
sold at a loss, to establish a reputation for the
artiolo, and the manufacturers or dealers reimhursd
themselves by selling en inferior article, represent
ing it to be as good as the previous lots.
It wits stated that two manufacturers of manures
bad claimed the bronze medal at the late fair,
which was to have been awarded to any exhibitor
furnishing o a new and economical manure, the
product or waste of factories'' The judges bad
declined giving either of the gentlemen referred to
the medal without having the sanction of the
society, as there was come doubts es to the speol-
Moos submitted being s, nein manures, the pro
duct or waste of fao:ories." A committee, eon
elating of Professor Booth, Dr. Elwyn Dr King,
and Bernnet Williams, was appointed 'to conaider
the subject, and report at the next meeting of the
society. Adjourned.
FATAL RAILROAD .4 DOIDIINT.—About half
past 12 o'clock yesterday afternoon a Gorman
named 'Mertz wee killed instantly by being rim
over by a coal car at Twenty-ftrat and Market
streets. Deceased followed the ocoupation of
baking and selling wattles, and bad just purobard
some auger in a store in that vicinity. While in
the act of crossing the street a coal train was going
up, and a wagon coming down the street. The
man became bewildered and confused, and wan
struck by the leader of the coal train He was
thrown to the ground, and the wheel of a heavily.
laden car passed over hia hood, breaking his collar

night, about 12 o'clock, the residence of a gentle
