The Democratic press is expend
ing a vast fund of snreasm and wit
over the efforts for harmony made
by the Republican State Committee.
As a harmonious Republican party
means certain defeat to the Demo
cracy, we are not surprised at the
anxiety displayed to prevent it
Democratic and Independent pol
iticians are just now indulging in a
pitiful whine over the old custom of
office-holders contributing to defray
cam pa 'urn cxnenscs. Everv citizen
has a rfriit to help pav the exnses j franchwnir nine tenths of the Re
of his mrtv as much as ho has a ! puUican of th Str.tr- by providing
right to help defray the expenses ofth;lt t1ic'.v should not vote for th
his church, or any other organization
to which he belongs, and there is no
more impropriety in an office-holder
doing this than there is in any other
citizen doing so. In our opinion,
he is a mean fellow who while en
joying the emoluments of office, will
not help to pay the expenses of the
party from whom he received his
election or appointment. All know
that it costs money to hold primary
elections and defray campaign ex
penses, and if men who reap the
benefits of them do not pay, where
are the necessary funds to come
from ?

State Committee in Philadelphia, on !

inority of the delegates were chosen
by county committees, in accordance
of thp
party in diner- ,
ent localities.
It is true that tnej
influence of Senator G
llieron Was ;
Rawle, and that of Secretary Quay
for Mr. Greer, yet in a full conven
tion that it is charged was " bossed "
v these leaders. Rawle pulled j

than a majority, ana t.rw nwillgee the propriety of voting for
three more, while the nominations ,
of Beaver, Davies and Marshall were j
i 'i . i" . ,1 ..1-3 !
made without opposition, and could
not have been prevented by any
combination of "boss" or other
forces. It is to be remembered also
that while all this outcry has been
persistently kept up about the
method of choosing delegates to the j
regular convention, the delegates to
the Independent convention were
mostly self-elected, and represented
no one but themselves.
But setting aside all grounds of
difference, the claims and profes
sions of the Independents arc now
put to the test. According to the
propositions made to them they
may submit their case to the Re
publicans of the State at the prima
ries, or to a convention governed by
rules funned by their own leaders,
or to a convention chosen or. the
plan they themselves have approved
and advocated. To be- consistent
they must accept one of the plans
for harmony they have clamored
for, or stand convicted of insincerity
and a determination to throw the
State into the hands of the Demo-
cracy.

men. This would be virtually dis-

ver. Nothing could bis more dicta

It is very evident that these Ind

do not want harmony, do not want
compromise, and all sincere Repub
licans wlio have co-operated with
thtiii under the impression that
they were laltoring for reform, will
at once cut loose from them, and if
they desire new nominations accept
the proposition of the regulars for a
new convention to which delegates
shall be elected by pojmlar vote at
I primary elections. No sane man
can longer doubt that the Independ-

party because they cannot rule it.

ican, The New York Herald says : Mr.
Pattisons nomination for the chief
ofiice in the Keystone State will be
a surprise, even to himself. He is
unknown beyond the municipal
limits of Philadelphia, and his nom
ination will give no strength to the
State. The Democrats of Pennsyl
vania can always be depended upon
to make fools of themselves.
The Philadelphia Tones think9
Pattison will be elected Governor.
It is not the first time the Time has
conceded Pennsylvania to the Dem
ocrats. It should, however, remem
ber that no native of Maryland was
ever elected Governor of Pennylva
nia, and it is an unpromising time
to attempt to reverse the rule now
when the standard-bearer of Repub
licanism is one of the ablest, best
and purest of Pennsylvania's sons,

Alexanpkia, July 11. The ship4
opened fire on the "forts at 7 o'clock
this morning. The action was com
menced by the Alexandra, Sultan
and Superb. The batteries at once

fleet then joined in, and the action
then became general. After twenty)
minutes' cannonade two of the forts j
ceased firing. i
THE SniPS ENGAGED.
There were eleven ships engaged
in the bombardment, armed as fol
lows : Inflexible, four 80-ton guns ;
Temereire, four 80-ton and four 18
ton guns ; Penelope, eleven guns ;
Superb, twelve 18-ton and four Gi
ton guns ; Alexandra, two 23-ton
and ten 18-ton guns, and Monarch,
four 25-ton, two 12-ton and one 65
ton guns. Condor (3 guns), Beacon
(4 guns), Cygnet (4 guns), and Decoy.
The complement of the crews aggre
gates over 8,500 men.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT IN THE CITY.
At the beginning of the bombard
ment intense excitement was visible
in the city. Crowds of people were
seen wending their way toward the
palace.
After the firing had commenced
the streets were deserted, the people
having fled or sought refuge in cel
lars. The flag of the Geneva Red
Cross is flying over the hospital in
the city. The Dutch and greek flags
are hoisted over their respective con
sulates. THE FIUE FIiOJ THE K0KTS SLACKEN
ING. After the attack on the forts and
batteries had been kept up two hours,
the return fire began to slack to about
ten rounds per hour. Dense smoke
hung over the city, along the line of
the shore batteries and among the
ships. Though it was difficult to
see what damage had been done, it
was evident that the Egyptians had
suffered very heavily. Fort Marsa el
Kanat had been blown up, th top
of the tower of Fort Pharos was car
ried away, and many guns were
dismounted on that and other forts.
The Ras-el-Tin forts suffered severe
ly from the heavy and disastrous
fire of the ship Alexandra, Su;erb
and Temereire. Fort Marsa el Kanat
was only completed a week ago Sun
day last. The ships, as far as could
be perceived, had not suffered any
damage.
EXPLOSION OK A MAtlAZINE.
A terrific explosion occurred just
about noon, at P'ort Ada, and it was
seen that the magazine had been
blown up. The fort is located close
to tlie vice regal palace, outside the
harbor. It was also reported that
the El Mahroussa, the Khedive's
yacht, had been sunk in the harbor.
Still, there were no signs of surren
der. pa.shim; exploit of the p.i.kw j ack
ets. Men were called for on board the
Invincible at 1 P. M. to go ashore
and spike tiie guns of Fort Mex.
Although the work was dangerous,
as troops might have been lying be
hind the fort, there was plenty of
volunteers. Twelve men were chos
en and placed in charge of three offi
cers. The landing party were oblig
ed to swim through the surf. They
landed unopposed, and, after burst
ing the guns with guncotton, returned
without any casualty.
THE TIME FOR COMPROMISE PASSED.
At 5:15 this evening the Helicon
approached tlie Invincible with offi
cials from Dervisch Pacha, who had
been trying to find the flag-ship all
night, with a letter from the ministry
to Admiral Seymour, offering to dis
mount the guns. Admiral Seymour
replied that the time for negotiations
had passed. The Ras-el-Tin palace
took fire during the bombardment,
and is still burning.
At 0:50 the action was finished for
the day. The casualties on the Eng
lish side amount to forty wounded
and five killed. Admiral Seymour
recommences the attack on Fort
Gularrie and the harbor fort in the
morn ins-
Till: EFFECTS OF THE ' ANNONADE.
The Egyptian loss is at present
unknown, but will likely be very se

to the fleet. Up to noon four forts

dispatch from Alexandria, sent
at y:2." this evening, says :
It is supuoaed the Egyptian troops
have evacuated tne town, as tne nres
to-night are assuming large propor
tions. The town is exptcted to be
almost empty, and it is believed has
been left to the low Arabs, possibly
to Bedouins, to plunder. At sunset
the white flag was still flying. Pri
vate advices indicate that the Suez
canal wiil be re-opened to traffic on
the 14th inst
HOSTILITIES RESUMED.
5 p. m. The Invincible has just
fired a nine-inch shell at Fort Mex.
The atmosphere was clear end we
had the exact range therefore. Al
though the ship was rolling heavily
the shell struck the exact point
aimed at and flames broke out from
the building. There was no reply,
nor is there any sign of life in the
fort. As far as Lieut. Iambton
could judge while in the barber
Alexandria appeared quiet. In the
Khedive's palace there is a large
gap caused by a shell. Harem Pal
ace is completely gutted. The bom
bardment had evidently produced a
great moral effect upon the military
officers with whom he conversed.
Six o'clock evening A few min
utes after the bhot was fired at Fort
Mex, while the flag was again hoist
ed, a dense smoke was rising over
Alexandria from two quarters. An
other fire has just broken out and
fears that a mob has just begun to
pillage and destroy are expressed.
The admiral is again sending ashore
to inform the authorities that when
be accepts the flag of truce sent that
it will be a truce to which he will
agree, and that henceforth he will
consider that the hoisting of a white
flag signifies unconditional surren
der, and he will act accordingly.
The Helicon is on the point of steam
ing away with this message.
y p. in. Tlie conflagration in
town is sfill extending. The flames
are rising in various quarters and
there is much anxiety on board the
fleet lest the general destruction of
the town takes place. The weather
has moderated, the wind abated and
the sea going down. Admiral Sey
mour, being anxious as to the stale
of things along the Suez, will send
the Decoy to Port Said to-night,
lie has ordered theVlrantes to come
on here instantly.
THE ROM ISA I! DM EXT.
The Tiinf1 correspondent, writing
about yesterday's bombardment,
says the gunboats played an active
part, creeping clo;e to'the forts and
silencing several guns. The Inflex
ible made a splendid practice. The
Temeraire was ashore for some time
but was floated subsequently. Tlie
gunboat Condor ran within 1,200
yards of Marabot Fort, a single shot
from which would sink her, and
before the signal had been given to
cease firing she had silenced three
great guns on the fort, Admiral Sey
mour signalling, ''Well done, Con
dor." The Superb has two holes in
her side. The correspondent par
ticularly mentions the deadly effect
of the electric broadsides from the
ships which attacked the Pharos
and Ras-El-Tin forts. The Inflexi
ble being furthest westward, was
able to shell the Mex fort with one
turret ami the Ras-El-Tin fort with
the other. After all the enemy's
guns had been silenced the men-of-war
continued shelling the fortifica
tions, and used idirapnel, probably
at the retreating soldiers.
The loss of the Egypti ins is be
lieved to be dreadful. A numbc-r of
shells repeatedly struck the works
iust about tlie guns and threw up
vast columns of yellow dust. It
was often thought the guns niustj
iiave been demolished, but they ap
peared uninjured when the smoke
had cleared. The funnel of the Su
perb is pierced, and the plate below
the foremost glacis torn awav. One
i of the boats of the Inflexible is use
less and the others badly damaged.
The Inflexible bore the "full brunt
of the fire of the west end of the
Ras-El-Tin fort for three and a-half
hours. The Sultan has a shot clean
through her mainmast and another
c.ean '.irouga her tunnel. lhe

THE MASSACRE OF EPROI'EANS.
A correspondent on board the In
vincible telegraphs as follows : After
daybreak this morning a number of
persons were seen on the edge of the
water of the harbor. Glasses sho.v
ed them to be Europeans. Boats
were at once lowerered and crews
armed to the teeth btarted for the
shore. They found about one hun
dred Europeans, many of them
woundtul, who had gathered in the j
Anglo-Egyptian bank and had re
sisted desperately. They had main
tained themselves there throughout
the night. Towards daylight the
assailants drew off and the party
made their way to the shore. They
reported that Arabi Pasha, before he
left with his troops, had the prisons
opened and that the convicts, joined
by the lower classes and some Be
douins, proceeded to sack the city
and kill every Christian they could
find and set the European quarters
on lire. From the post they wee
defending tlie Europeans could heai
shrieks and tries and reports of pis
tols and guns. Scores of fugitives
were cut down or beaten to death in
their sight. The European quarter
is all in flames and the ereat
quare
is a mass of smoking rums. All the

She kept her word, and at midnight

by Rev. Mr. Ross, a coloretl exhort
