The REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. - The
agony is over. The RAIDS. have found men
enough willing to sacrifice themselves for
their party to fill the ticket. They know
very well they cannot elect a man they
have put in nomination., though they
slaughtered some of their best men on the
altar of policy. Capt. Jones, as candidate
for Marshal, was remorselessly thrown
overheard because they had an idea that
Ad. Stevens would draw more strength
to the ticket" In the contest for candidate
for City Solicitor, Lorenzo English, the
strongest man in their party, was tossed
aside like a worn garment, because, as one
orator remarked, they were opposed to
"galvanizing dead men."s Men, measures,
everything was sacrificed to strength.
Notwithstanding all the Rev. Chairman
had to say about harmony" the Conven-
tion was not the most harmonious in the
world, and was, when it adjourned, boiling
like pot. Hurrah, for the "harmony -
candidates!

The Chairman being called on made a
speech. It's his best grip, making speeches.
He's paid for it. He saw no good reason
why the ticket nominated should not be
elected. Evidencing that he had not
brought his spectacles with him. AS in his
opening speech he begged for harmony in
the party, assuring them that they could
do nothing without harmony. He thanked
the. Convention for the harmony which had
been preserved, and then simmered down.
Luther Donaldson rose and stated that
he had been nominated as member of the
City and Township Committee, and he
most respectfully declined such position.
On motion, Tom G. Donaldson was nom
mated to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Luther Donaldson.
On motion, the Convention adjourned.

DUPREz & BENEDICT's MINSTRELs.-We
are sick. Attending the Opera House last
night to witness the performance of Duprez
and Benedict's Minstrels, we laughed till
we were sore. We had an idea that we had
seen all that is funny in the Cork Opera.
But we, like the Queen of Sheba, had not
seen half. Nothing in all our experience
can match the side-splitting efforts of this
troupe in their roles. More than bushel
of buttons were swept out of the Opera
House last night after the performance,
buttons burst off in the frantic efforts to
get room to laugh. Their vocal music
ranks as first class, and as instrumental
performers they are as much better than
the Newcomb's as they are better than the
old triangle and jawbone minstrels of our
bOyhood. Billy Vests banjo solo was
greeted with shouts of applause. The
| burlesque opera was grandly sung and ex-
crutiatingly funny, but the great event of
the evening was new act entitled 1.-THE
Theatrical Agency" and we cannot now
even think of it without laying down our
pencil and laughing until pearly tears roll
down onr cheeks like pumpkins down a
hill. The expression on Lew Benedict's
face, as he catches hold of the candidates
for engagement and the business-like man
ner in which it is done, is the most laugh
ter-provoking thing in the world, and the
housefull of ladies and gentleman testified
to it by their shouts of laughter and ap-
plause. AS fancy dancer Frank Kent has
no superior, and the picolo and clarionet
solos of Frank Kritta is unsurpassed. The
troupe is more evenly organized in all the
departments of minstrelsy, than any that
has visited us for long time. The per-
formance concluded with the "Shadow
Pantomime," which is irresistibly funny,
and must be seen to be fully appreciated in
all its humor and grotesqueness. The Sec
ond and last performance will be given this
evening. We advise every one who reads
this article to go tonight, and they will
say, with US, never in the history of negro
minstrelsy have they witnessed a perform
ance equal to this.

NEWSPAPER REPoRTERs.--A lawyer
in the Louisville police Court, having
said some pretty hard things about the re-
Portsrs of one of the daily papers in that
city, the Journal takes occasion to defend
the gentlemen of the press in the follow
ing sensible remarks: p
I'm gathering news, II is of course. im.
possible for reporters to have been an eyo
witness OF every event, and he must take
the accounts he gets from others as the
truth, He uses due diligence to get all
the particulars, and takes it for granted
that the news is correct. IF his inform.
ant, either from stupidity or malice, mis-.
leads him, we respectfully suggest thar
1t is not fair to accuse the reporter Of in.
tentionally garbling the facts of the case.
AT the best, it is hard position. II
he speaks boldly, be ofends some one.--
II he speaks guardedly, some accuse him
OF cowardice, or being brought up not to
speak the whole truth. If be is senti,
mental, he is called fool. If he speaks
forciblo language, he is called black
guard. II he writes gravely, he is called
stupid. If he is witty, they accuse him
Of trying to show off. If he is fanciful,
they call him romanoist, and say is moi
reliable. If he confne himself to q brief
mention, he is accused Of not having
brains enough to write good artiole.-e
In fact, he carries his heart upon his
sleeve, for jackdaws to peck at. So, gen.
tlemen, 60 slow. Don't add To o repora
ters troubles by unjust and foolish cen.
sures."

PHILADELPHIA MARKETS.

We are somewhat astOnished 10 notice
that the Quaker city Of Philadelphia puts
forth claim to being, not only the great
est manufacturing city on this continent,
but, with the exception Of London, the
greatest in the world. We are all samil-
lar with its advantages as a quiet and
pleasant place Of residence; but that it
should claim to be great industrial GEN.
tire, will be news to many. AS the matter
is one, however, in which our merchants
are directly interested, and the consumers
Of goods indirectly, we will give brief
synopsis of its claims. 80, ..-
In 1860, according to the Census re-
turns, there were in Philadelphia, 6 29S
manufactures having capital of S73,-,
31S,8s5, which employed $4,000 hands,
and produced an annual value of $780,
OOO,O00. Recently, Mr. Edwin 7. Freed
ley, well known author, has prepared a
volume of 700 pages, on the Manufac-
lures of Philadelphia, and demonstrated
that, in 1866. the factories produced over
tteo hundred n.dtioas of dal!ars Of staple
goods. This is an astounding exhibit;
no other city on the American continent
approximates this amount. In lS55, tba
State Of Massachusetts, including Boston,
Lowell, and all her famous manufacturing
towns, did not produce more than two
hundred and forty millions. In 1861
New York had only seven small Cotton
Goods Manufactures. and no Woolen
Miilsi Philadelphia is now the CONNER
cial centre of two hundred and sixty
Woolen Factories, and besides, several
thousand hand looms, of which the annual
product is equal to that of seventy addi-
tional mills Of average size. The class of
Dry Goods manufactured in Philadelphia
is Of those low priced staple goods, WHICH
are especially adapted to the wants of the
people in the Middle, Western and South
ern States. Millions Of yards of Panta-
loouery, Cottonades, Checks and Stripes,
Tickings, Osnaourgs, Kentucky Jeans,
and Narrow Textile Fabrics, ara made
there every year. Of Carpetings, the
product amounts to nearly ten millions of
dollars; Of Ready Made Clothing, to
eighteen millions of Refined Sugar, over
twenty millions Of Boots and Shoes, over
five millions Of Stoves. nearly three mill
ions. Philadelphia claims to have the
largest Military Goods Manufactory, the
largest Chemical factories, the largest
Cordage factory, the largest Book. selling
house, and the largest Locomotive Works
and Machine Shops in the United States.
1t is quite evident, that her proximity to
the Coal Mines and Iron Beds, her low
rents and facilities afforded mechanics for
comfortable and economical living, have
given Philadelphia start in manufactur-
ing, WHICH nothing but her want of en-
terprise can retard. 1t is moreover evil
dent that with the progress already made
in manufacturing, the Philadelphia mar-
ket is worthy the attention of those who
wish to purchase goods at first hand.
