PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 1.-THE Democrats
are well pleased with the tone Of the Vurhc
meeting last evening and especially with tie
speech Of Mr. Orr. That gentleman seems
60 understand that without professions Of
loyalty from the South and rebuke OF men
like Yailandi-lam by Northern Democrats.

a large number OF Northern delegates
called upon the South Carolina delegation a,

day.
There Is some dissatisfaction a. the al
sence Of some f the Republican delegates
from Massachusetts,. IL is charged that they
only favor the movement IN the hope of ob
tanning OF controlling patronage. Their
absence may cost them the favor OF the ad-
uIuistrati1n. TIE number Of visitors iron
abroad is not go large as " expected.

been told that only the claims of voting Re-
IublIcans Will be considered.
Outsiders Will probably be selected TO fill
vacancies. The delegates meet this afternoon
for that r-rVose. The feeling against Val
