PhiIadeIphIa Convention.

Very much troubled about the Philadel-
phia Convention is the Cleveland HeruId.-
While the public are no doubt excessively
concerned that the Herald does mot ap-
prove of the calling of that Convention" /"
they will get relief from its assurance that
it is mot disposed to ridicule it, nor under
rate Its significance" By what right it as
sumes to dictate line of policy to the
Conventlon-what it shall do and who shall
be allowed to participate in its delibera-
tions-everybody will be at a loss to discov-
er. Republican journals that but short
time ago spoke of the proposed Philadel-
phia Convention with contemptu0us
sneer, do so no longer. They have ascer-
tanned to their sorrow that it could not be
ridiculed into contempt. In spite
of their sneering, it grew in pro-
portions. Despite their ridicule, men
of towering reputation and acknowl-
edged devotion to the Union land the
Constitution, gave to it their warm COM
mendation. Seeing that its daily gaining
strength left no room on which to rest
doubt as to its success, they cried out that
it was a movement to swallow upthe Dem
ocratic party. This was intended to fright
en- Democrats away from it. Not succeed
ing in this, they are now endeavoring to
frighten conservative Republicans away
from it, by asserting that it is movement
that will be made tributary to the Demo-
cratic party. This, too, viii fail in its OBJ
ject. The masses of the people, whether
Republicans or Democrats, are rapidly set
tling down into the conviction that they
have been swindled enough through Radi-
cal legislation in Congress and through
Federal officials. They are making up their
minds to vote the Democratic ticket in the
fall, Philadelphia Convention or no Phila-
delphia Convention.

Recent Burrlaries.

On Friday night, the rear of the Orphans
Home, on West Town street, was entered
by burglars, who carried off quantity OF
provisions and groceries, nearly all that
was on hand for the useof the Home.
On Sunday night building was entered
on Town street. but the burglars were
frightened away before they had secured
much booty.
The house of Mr.. McMichael, on Friend
street, between Seventh street and WASH
ington avenue, was entered on Monday
night through window in the second
story. From the bedroom of Mr.. McMi-
chael his pocket book was taken, contain
ing some forty or fifty dollars in money,
while the owner was asleep. The burglar
or burglars examined other rooms, took of
a lot of cigars, and made their exit without
disturbing the family.
On Monday night also, the house of R.
b. Laurence, Agent American Express
Company, 3l7 East Rich street, was entered
through an open window, and his pockets
rifIed of some $75 or 800 in money. A
breast pin was also stolen. The burglars
made some noise that awakened Mr.. Lau-
renee; but they succeeded in making good
their escape with their booty.
These repeated burglarles and thefts
should put citizens on their guard, and
especially, be warning against leaving
unguarded windows open at night. There
exists among us evidently gang Of despe-
rate burglars and thieves, and hence, the
necessity for &larger, more effective and
vigilant police force.

The battle of Sadowa Is pronounced to

A CORRESPONDENT thus speaks Of the
women of England: English women look
fresh and strong, and as though they would
last, and they do last; but the daintily cut
features, the soft coloring, the delicate, po-
etic, but too perishable beauty of the Amer
leans is rarely SEEM"
THE Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun says that "lf the fall cleo
tions for Congress result in favor Of the
Radicals, we may expect movement that
will continue Congress In permanent ses-
zion, despite the Constitution, during Mr..
JOhnson's Presidency"
THIS is what the GreenviHe Democrat has
to say about the Senatorial delegates APP
pointed to the Philadelphia Convention by
the State Democratic Executive Commit
tee: "These men rank very high among
the most able statesmen of the West, and
their presence will add Importance to the
Convention"
UNoUEsTIONABLE testimony establishes
the fact that there is not One-half Of the
bitterness entertained by Confederate SOL
diers toward the Northern people that is
entertained by Southern men who took no
part in the war. The same can be truth
fully said of the Federal soldiers. He cher
ishes no enmity towards the Southern peo-
pie. The enmity is confined to the stay-at-
home Republican politicians.
In Paulding county the Republicansheld
their County Nominating Convention on

nominated: Clerk, s. Mans; Probate Judge,
F. s. Cable; Prosecutor, A. H. selden ;
Commissioner, John Hardesty; Coroner,
Jacob Switzer, and Infirmary Director, w.
N. Shook. The correspondent of the Tole-
do Blade says ''the assemblage was not as
large as usual upon such occasions" That's
pretty much the case with all Republican
Conventions nowadays.

A BIOpdy Affray--Arrest for Assault
"a with Intent TO XIII.
An afifay of rather serious nature oc-
Cured on Tuesday night at the saloon in
the basement of the Neil House, between
George Kirk, liveryman, and Horace Per-
ry, Conductor on the @. & X. and L. M. r.
r. We give an outline OF the circum-
stances, as derived from one who Was an
eyewitness
The parties had been playing at billiards
In the saloon on Tuesday afternoon, and
Perry had won several small stakes, They
continued their play in the evening, and
Kirk won on bets for small sums till Perry
had lost sixty-tlve dollars.
1t was now getting near midnight, and
the saloon keeper said he must cldSe up for
the night. The only persons remaining In
the room were Kirk and Perry, the saloon
keeper and colOred man. The two former
insisted that they must play one game more,
which would be the last. On this they
doubled the bet, making 1t twenty dollars.
The game was played, and atits close, Kirk
said he had won 1t by twelve points. Perry
accused him of SHOWING off on him." or
cheating him, and high words with oppro-
brious epithets ensued.
Perry, as we are informed, struck Kirk,
though there is some dispute, as to which OF
the two struck first. At any rate, Kirk
seized his antagonist by the throat, pushed
him back toward the wall and threw him
down, falling or throwing himself upon
him. Perry, by quick and agile move
ment, turned the tables upon Kirk and got
him under. He then seized hold Of stone
china water pitcher that was standing on
wash stand near by, and struck Kirk with
It over the head.
The pitcher broke, leaving the handle In
Perry's hand with piece of the vessel
shaped like a smoothing iron. With this
weapon he struck Kirk several blows on
the face, head and arms, cutting one side Of
his face severely, and intlicting other cuts
and bruises. 1t was all done in few mo-
ments of time. The saloon keeper ran out
for assistance, and soon returned with il,
when Kirk was washed of, and his wounds
attended to. We learn that they are not
considered dangerous, though there is come
apprehension that they may lead to fatal
result.
Perry, after the affray, voluntarily sur
rendered himself to the city authorities, but
was not detained by them, as no affidavit
had been filed against him. Yesterday he
was arrested by Constable Brown on war
rant issued by Justice Heyl, charging him
with an assault and battery on George Kirk
with intent to kill. He was held to bail in
the sum Of $4,000, to appear before the
Justice on Wednesday, August s, to under
20 a preliminary examination on the above
charge.

Aquatic Exploits of a Drunken Man
two Horses Drowned and Man

Aquatic Exploits of n Drunken Man
two Horses Drowned and Nan
Nearly So.
A man from the country, whose name
we were unable to obtain, started home
yesterd " afternoon from Franklinton,
with a team of two horses aud a
wagon attached. He was laboring under
the effects of heavy potations of in
toxicating liquors. His route, it seems,
lay up the river, which he appears to
have taken fancy to cross at the first
point he could make, Notwithstanding the
present high stage of water.
Just after passing the mill of Mr.. S. S.
Rickly, he attempted to drive into the fore
bay. The miller saw him trying the fool
hardy experiment, and called to him not to
90 in there. The man then drove up the
river quarter OF mile or so, and drove
into the water at the dam. Here the water
was so deep that the horses had to swim,
and, after floundering about for some time,
they got over the dam, and went down
stream some two or three hundred yards.
The horses were both drowned, and no
part of the wagon could be found, except
the tongue and the two fore wheels, which
were still hanging to the drowned animals.
Quite q large number of people witnessed
the scene from the shore, and by searching
for him, the man was found in the river,
on the very eve of going under water for
the last time. He was taken into the bone
factory hard by, scarcely sobered by his
cold ducking and his misfortune. He was
properly cared for, and, it is to be hoped
will become soberer and wiser man. Peo-
pie coming to town from the country should
avoid dram shops as they would cholera

The tax duplicates for the several wards

County Auditors Office. If the "City
Fathers" desire to have the city levy for
the current year placed upon the dupli-
Gates, they should have the same certified

vised that this may, though with some in
convenience, be done, If attended to within

Ex.secretary Chase's Treasury Ac-
commits UJnSeItIed. =

The Ne,o York Herald of the 24th claims
to have private information that the ac-
counts of Judge CHASE as Secretary of the
Treasury remain unsettled; that his ac-
counts do not balance by some thirty mil
lions dollars. This is most strange, and
should be looked into by Congress at once.
Such reports should not be allowed to gain
currency. if there is no foundation for
them. OF course, the public will be slow
to believe that Judge CHASE has been guilty
of an improper use of the funds of the
Treasury; but it is due the public that the
matter be cleared up. They don't want to
believe that all the officials during the war
were dishonest. ~H

hold State Mass Convention in this city
on the 9TH Of August, to appoint Delegates

consider necessary. The call will, in all
probability, be issued to-day, and will be

who have been recognized in the Republi-

Ohio who heretofore acted with the Re-
publican party, is very much mistaken.

We gave yesterday morning a brief ac-
count of the drowning of John Campen on
Tuesday afternoon in the river, about
mile and half above the Penltentiary. 1t
is supposed that he must have been taken
with the cramp while in the water, as he
was good swimmer, and would otherwise
have stemmed or evaded the current,
strong as it was. yae sttR
His body, after a long, patient and labc-
rious search, was found yesterday forenoon
in the river, about twenty feet from the
place where he was seen to sink for the last
time.
His father, Mr.. g. II. Campen, was atthe
time Of the fatal occurrence al atLouisville,
In attendance on the Ssengerfest Ormusical
festival in that city. He was immediately
telegraphed to, and information has been
received from him, that he win arrive at
home this morning.
