The Democratic Wings of the several Wards
| and townships in the City and Cosaty of Phila-
depha meet this evening for the purpose of elect
ing Delegates to the County Convention. 1t is q
serious question now how far the refusal of Gov
Porter to allow the Apportionment bill to become
u law will affect the Fall Elections. The Key
Stone, at Harrisburg assures ts Democratic breth-
rem throughout the State that under the existing
circumstances there cannot be election for Mem
Der of Congress held this year So much for fol-
lowing the great " Accidental in the matter of
Vetoes.
There were 1913 deaths in our city last week, of
whom 80 were adults and SO children. Jonathan
Coffee, ESQ.,, known to many of your merchants as
late Superintendent OF our Exchange, died yester-
day of consumption.
The indications, or rather demonstrations of en-
| thusasm, in favor of Mr. Clay, throughout the
State, are daily increasing. Every newspaper from
the interior gives cheering evidence of this.
Sales at the Stock Board to-day amount to the
enormous sum of s26O! and this is about the
daily average. What change! 1t is extremely
gratifying, however, perceive that there al
ready no slight symptoms Of Improvement in busi-
ness. The boxes and packages which begin to
lumber up the Market-street pavement, showing
their country destination, may be taken proof
that osr city only awaits the favorable action of the
Head of the Nation to start anew in the race Of
business competition.
Several important arrests of rioters have been
made within day or two; one, particularly, of a
powerful and desperate black named Harvey, for
firing gun in the crowd heavily loaded Several
white rowdies have also been committed in add-
tion to those already noticed
Four valuable horses were destroyed yesterday
by the burning of a stable.
Another murder disgraces our city. fellow
named Milby Axe inflicted blows upon Hannah
Morris, colored, Of which She died. Verdict in
accordance with these facts.
Mr.. Walter, the distinguished Architect of Gil
rard College, is regret to perceive, an applicant
for the benefit of the Bankrupt Law. He is an
honest worthy man, who, in carrying out the e1-
Jitra1'y lnw laid down in the VIII for the con-
struction of the College, has subjected himself to
much unmerited odunl, and, as it now appears,
without any corresponding benefit to himself
M. De BSdisco, the Russian Embassador at
Washington, whose marriage with the pretty
school-g girl created great sensation some time
since, is, with his beautiful lady and SUITE at Cape
May, our Philadelphia fashionable watering place
Charles Garfield, young citizen, was severely
injured yesterday by the very foolish, but too com
mon practice of jumping out of a runaway vehicle.
Always stick to the carriage and trust the conse-
quences.
There are very great complaints in our market,
of the way in which your New-York rurveyers strip
eur beef and vegetable stalls Peaches arc selling
at from 81 to Sc per bushel, from this cause. In
fact it is roundly asserted that, not satisfied with
clearing our markets Of all the choice matters, ysu
have gone far as to buy up our entire peach
orchards. This is certainly most outrageous mo-
nopoly, and one to which we cannct comfortably
submit.
