PHILADELPHIA, March IL, 1850.
The inbarn Oh GU, Democracy Ofthis loc ahty have
been thrown into 1utter0 Of evaporation and alarm
at ihe appointment OF a Committee to investigate
the Ps DID, ylyaDe election trauds and especially the
practices carried on in our NAVY Yard. No wonder
Tom Florence raved aud tore round at the certain
prospect OF having bis claim to this rch placer
Jumped by Mr.. Covo6e. The witnesses now ready
TO testify to the practices carried OH within It's walls
WREN Tom was last ny for Congress, are numerous,
and of tie utmost Tespectablity. The payroll OF
that nursery for VOTERS when canvassed by such
man as Covode is known to be, will afford reyela-
tiCns that many even Of our own CT zens DO not
dream of The finger Of j. b. himself will be
detected inPIouotiDg the most improper practices
employing nearly 1,O0O men at the public cost, for
the sole purpose of insuring FloreDce's election.
Beside all this, the manufacture of thousands Of
forged naturalization papers can be fastened on
parties who little thought of having their black
deeds in the interest of the Democracy laid bare
hen will come the history of at least two OF our
miserable rckety, Treasury. fed Democratic news
Dapere uIon which the Government money has ho~ed
through fortuOus channels in streams great enough
10 keep them alive and without which they would
have DIED out long ago. Ii singular fact that NJ
Democratic newspaper ever lived in this city except
by aid OF Government support. Their circulation
has ever been so contemplate that business men
avoided them as mediums for advertising. The
rowdies Of the party not being readers, the party
leaders alone subj crlbed for them. In the forth
coming Developments, some people will be found
mixed up in way TO set them down a peg or two
lower in the public estimation. But we are anxious
for Mr.. ColOd TO trot them out.
II is now intimated that our nOn-bond- paying fell
low citizens Of Allegheny County intend to take one
more plunge, by changing Reputation to nulllhca-
ton. The three Commissioners having been hned
81 eco each with stiff bill Of costs, for contempt
of court, stand committed to the Allegheny prison
until the same are paid. But it is minated that
no prison IN the county will be found strong
enough to hold them-in other words, that The peo-
pe will break down the doors and let them 90 free.
his issue so dSgraeefnl from the start, IL now be
coming serious matter Our Supreme Court had
no power TO imprisOn them, and was thus compelled
10 nhict fiDe When this fine was inflicted the
other day. the scene in Court was rich one.
Quite O crowd Of spectators were present, among
whom were many holders Ot the repudlnted bonds.
The demeapOr of the recusaut COmm siOnerS was
calm, but quite defiant. They had evidently made
up their minds to dsObey the mandamus, or treat 1t
az a pullity. The heavy fine did not seem TO stag
GER Them But all present were taken aback when
The counsel for the bon holders moved for an alias
mandtmus which, if also resisted, will empower
the Court TO impose second and probably beay-
Ter fine. Large amounts Of these Allegheny bonds
are held BY spectators here, who have bought them
I'D at less than half price, confident that they would
get The face Of them at some day pretty soon. But
this continued resistance to the highest Court ID the
State must adjourn the day OF payment some time
longer
he rich men of Philadelphia have never figured so
c0nspicuOusly in print as most OF yours. Our tax
list gives MS some ns ght into the mysteries Of their
purses Strangely enough the second on the list
has carved out the whole of his vast fortune within
twenty years. This is DR.. David Jayne, whose real
estate is assessed at $439, 00O though worth half
more He came here some twenty years ago froma
small town in New -Jersey, and commenced the pat
emf medicine business, without capital, and almost
unknown But he has worked himself up TO the top
of the ladder lis great lever being advertising. The
newspapers bavemade him. He has probably spent
SIOO'CIO Der annum in advertising his wares, and
now runs steam presses on bis own premises IN max
ing labels for his preparations. After him comes
George w. Carpenter another druggist who, having
grown rich by advertising, IL assessed al $3SU VOOln
real estate alone. Dr Jdilts huSn ~ gu tho
st his estate being put down at $3.50, 900. Dr. John
Rea Barton represents $l95 900, 80 that hysc and
medicine seem to be the royal road to wealth After
these come our business men, whose real estate Is
valued as follows: James Francis Fisher, $3.50 900;
John " istar $50, 600; J. s. Lowering $40 OO0;
James Dundas, $s5, 600; John A, Brown, $205,-

Ridgwsy, 1876, 900; Richard Wistar, $50 ,0OC'
and so on, 80 that as names represent $I,6Oo'ooO.
Death has within few years divided up all the mil
liOnaire estates we had among us.
