THE traffic on the London Underground

THE traffic on the London Underground
Railway for the half year ending June 30,
1867, has been something extraordinary
In that period no less than 1s,4s1, 1858 pas
sengers were carried over the line Metro
politan proper, being the largest number
ever carried in that time. Adding the
traffic over Hammersmith and City line,
514, ,46s, we get total of 12,002, 1856 passen-
gers or about three times the population
of London. ''7--'-@' H. '--'''-'-

ThaCrnns

The evidence thickens upon us that the
corn crop of Ohio will be partial failure,
consequent upon the want of rain. If on
an average there is half the usual amount
to the acre we will be disappointed. More
than the usual quantity was planted this
spring, which fact will aid in making the
crop near an average one.
On the rich bottom lands, the corn is
fair-on the clay soil it seems to be burnt
by the heat and for the want of moisture.
The potato crop will be far from good
one for the reason that cut short the corn.

The Indiana Senator and his
Meeting Last Night.

The placarding of the city with large
handbills, announcing that Ex-Governor
MORTON, of Indiana, now United States
Senator from that State, would make a
speech in front of the State House, and the
drumming up of recruits, men, women and
children, brought together the largest Re-
publican meeting of the season.
| Ex-Gov. DENNIsoN introduced Senator
MORTON to the crowd, with labored eulo-
gy. From 'aoell-kno,un physical debility
he said, Senator MORTON could not stand,
| in a sitting posture. The Senator COM
menced to read, and the crowd commenced
to leave, and in less than ten min
utes less than half the audience re-
mained. They left as if afraid of catching
the swell known physical debility" of the
speaker.
The speaker charged the Democratic par.
ty with treason in 1S60-'61, because, as he
said, they were opposed to coercion of 8
State. This charge was an unfortunate
one, for within sound of the speakers
voice, was the Journal office, which paper
at the time named, in labored editorials
argued the same thing. and-tell it not in
Gath-this same Senator o. P. MORTON
and his organ, the Indianapolis Journal
as well as the Cincinnati Commercial
denied the right of the General Govern.
ment to force State to remain withir
the Union after she had made her elec.
tion to leaveit. If Democrats held that doc.
trine at that time, and this fact made them
traitors, then the speaker, his organ anG
SALMON P. CHASE and his organ in this
city and in Cincinnati, were traitors ano
traitorous sheets, and, as military neces-
sity," MORTON and CHASE and these editors
should have been sent 10 Fort Lafayette
and their organs promptly put out of tune
| by prompt suppression by sloyap mob
Governor MORTON then devoted consid-
cradle time to the discussion of the Negro
voting question. The sum total of all OF
which was, that he will have most con-
temptitle opinion of the people of Ohio il
they shall refuse to give the privilege OF
voting to Negroes. This part of his speech
did not elicit applause. As color, black
may be good; but as generator of enthu-
siasm by Republican orators, it is no go.
In manner, in matter and in the attempt
to keep his audience together, this highly
praised MORTON was a failure, most grie-
vous to his friends to behold.
The lamps in front of the stand would
not shed a sufficient light on the paper the
orator read-the speaker could shed none
upon the subject.
o..
If Senator MORTON is "specimen
brick" of the renowned orators of the
Negro Suffrage party, who have been
pressed into the service of convincing the
people that the Negro is the superior race,
we would be pleased to-see more of them.
They will do the Democracy no harm-the
Negro Sufrageites no good.

GENERAL NEWS.
GOLD closed in New York yesterday at
1875 Al
THE English tailors who have been on a
strike have submitted their ultimatum.-
They propose that the disputed question
shall be referred to joint committee of
masters and journeymen. In case the
masters refuse to become parties to this
compromise, they intend, twenty-five hun
dred of them, to emigrate to this country.
The Spectator unkindly remarks, "Ameri-
can tailors will possibly be able to turn
out good clothes at last" 80
THE grand law that the gravitation of
masses is as inversely as the square of the
distance, the discovery of which has all
ways been ascribed to Newton, has been
recently claimed by NJ. Chasles for Pascal.
The claim is based on letter from the
latter to Robert Boyle, which is shortly to
be laid before the Paris Academy of Sci
ences. The date assigned to Newton's dis
covery is 1865. Pascal died in 1862.
"WAsHINGToN correspondents" says the

AN EXCELLENT NoMINATIoN.-We notice with
pleasure the selection of the Hon. Winthrop
w. Ketchum by the Republicans of the
Twelfth District, for their Representative to
Congress. The seat of that District was made
vacant by the death of Hon. Charles Denison.
Mr.. Ketchum is well known throughout all the
State as an able advocate OF her interests.
He is thoroughly Pennsylvania. We know
of no man better qualified to hold seat in
her delegation. A good Republican, one who
has been tried and never found wanting, he
will merit the honor conferred upon him. He
was the principal opponent of General Gesry
for the nomination of Governor, and worked as
hard as any man for the success of the ticket.
He held a seat for many years in our State
Senate, and is we'll acquainted with our
finances, and an especial champion of proteo-
tion to our home industry. We cordially wish
him success, and we confidently anticipate that
our wish will be realized

The Presidency of Cirard College.

The Presidency of GirRrd College.
A sEoRKT caucus, for private reasons, has
removed Major Richard S. Smith from the
Presidency of Girard College. The manner in
which this end was accomplished, and the
entire lack of courtesy or fairness displayed
by the members in favor of the change,
stamp them as untitled to hold the post of
Directors of a scholastic institution. From all
we can learn, Major Smith was not notified of
the intention, was not summoned to answer
any complaint made against him, was not
tried, or, in fact, even complained Of. Yet, by
the following vote, he was summarily re-
moved

glance at the names Of the directors, pro
and con- shows us that the end in view was a
political one. Most of the gentlemen voting in
favor of the removal are known to all our
people as politicians. What the object in view
may be, we do not pretend to guess; but we
feel no hesitation in condemning the action as
uncalled for, as well as unjust. The condition
of Girard College has been steadily improving
for several years. The course of study has
been well matured, and the discipline rendered
more strict. All those who are familiar with
the workings of the institution know that
there is no real cause for complaint against the
President. Yet he is dismissed, as though he
had been guilty of some hagrant dereliCtiOn of
duty. He is not treated with that politeness
which is due from man to man. And all this
for. some secret cause. We will endeavor to
fathom the mystery, for we think we see in it
the footprints of some political aspirant. The
election of DR.. Allen is all very well, if there
was any necessity for an election. But as it is,
there is no real ground for change; and we
view the dismissal as part of the same pro-
gramme which attempted, unsuccessfully, to
remove Mr.. Lex from the Presidency of the
Board of Directors.

The Proclamation of the High Sheriff.
On our seventh page to-day will be found the
proclamation of Henry C. Howell, Esq, High
Sheriff of the county Of Philadelphia, order
ing an election to be- held for the various
Offices about to be made vacant by the expira-
tion of the terms of the present incumbents.
To it we commend the attention of our readers,
or if not to the document itself, at least to the
spirit of it, which calls on every freeman to
exercise his right, and cast his vote for those
whom he deems best fitted for the places to
which they aspire. There has never been
time in the history OF the country when it
behooved its citizens to exercise with greater
caution this great safeguard of our liberties.
We do not not overestimate the peril. The
success of the Democracy would so encourage
the Executive madman, that we do not dare to
speculate on the lengths to which he would go.
The danger to the land is greater than we sup
pose, because our people are so inclined to
slight it. Let every one, then, act as his con-
science dictates, and join with the Sheriff in
his prayer that "God may save the Common
wealth.
