How THE NOMINATIONS WE'RE RECEIVED
1t looked like Fast Day about the Argus Office
last evening-no rush, no enthusiasm, no dem
onstrations Of joy. The nomination of Seymour
and Blair found no response there. The truth
is the Argus mau few months ago centered
his hopes on Grant, and more recently he fell
in love with the Chief Justice, and Seymour
and Blair now stare him in the face. 1t is a
bitter pill but it must be swallowed. We
heard it suggested by many Republicans last
evening that it would be eminently proper for
them to fire salute in token Of their gratif-
cation at the result of the deliberations of the
New York Convention

THE entertainment given last evening at
City Hall by the pupils of the Academy of
the Congregation de Notre Dame was very
pleasant affair." The audience was not so
large as it ought to have been. The young
ladies appeared remarkably well upon the
stage, and their music and acting were really
good. The dialogues were well rendered.
Among them there are some fine voices, and
their piano-forte playing showed good train
ing and excellent taste. They were prettily
dressed and made fine appearance. The
operettas were quite interesting. On the
whole, the entertainment passed off very pleas
antly, and would bear repetition.

Our Gi,Izrchrs.

The great fire is to result in an Improvement
of church architecture as we'll as other builI-
ings. Before that event we had very little to
boast of in this linz. The IN ost of our churches
were unganly structures pretending to be
what they were not-pine boards sanded to
initiate stone. st. Stephens was, and is now,
an honor to our city-a real structure, native
to the soil, solid and enduring. The First
Parish has always been admired and is finely
proportional and built of the real material.
OF the new churches being built, the Payson
Memorial on Congress street is to be Il sub
stantial piece of work and a structure of which
we shall all feel proud when it is-completed
The front is to be built of splendid Hallowell
granite, and finished and cut ready for use by
Bodwell q Wilson of Halowell. The whole
building is 10S feet in length aud 81 feet wide.
1t is to be of the Romanesque style Of archi-
lecture, with two towers one on the Pearl
and Congress streets corner, and one on the
South corner. On the Pearl street tower is a
spire 175 feet high. In the front there is a
group of five circular headed windows, di-
vided by granite columns. The sides are to be
brick with granite trimmings and having five
triple windows each.
There are to be three entrance doors, one in
the centre of the building. These are to lead
to the large vestibule, and eight feet higher
comes the audience room, which is to be mag
nificent in every particular. 1t will be so feet
long by 65 in width-exclusve of the chancel
which is six feet deep. 1t is "a feet high, and
with the galleries will be capable of seating
1900. Underneath the audience room is a lee
ture room 45 by 65 feet, and II feet posts. Off
this will be a suitable number of retiring
rooms, kitchen &c. 1t will be reached by an
entrance through the vestibule and one on
S. & G. NJ. Chase, and Fasse,t is the arch-
tect.
Another magnificent structure is the st.
Luke's church, being erected on Sta te street.
We were allowed yesterday to examine the
plans of this church at the office of Gen.
Thorn. 1t is to be one of the finest buildings
in New England Gothic style of architecture,
beautiful in detail and very ornamental in ap-
pearance. The total length of the building
including the chancel is 1873 feet, Width of
nave 81 feet. 1t is to have 1872 pews, and will
be capable of seating 1900. The general body
of the building is to be built of gness, Slightly
hammered and the State street facade is to
show vertical and horizontal joints. The caps
of the windows and doors are to be of red and
gray sand stone This church will be in
beautiful location and is to be a work that will
draw forth admiration from every one.

DEMOCRATIC PRECAUTIONS IN PENNSYLvA-
NIA.-We copy from the New York Tribune
the following trenchant criticism of the con-
duct OF the Pennsylvania supreme Court in
declaring the registration law unconstitution-
al: . q
The late Legislature of Pennsylvania-in
view of the glaring frauds perpetrated at her
polls last fall by means of forged and coffee
colored naturalization papers and kindred de-
wees passed an act requiring registration
OF the legal voters of that State. Her Supreme
Court, by vote of to 2, has lust nulified that
act, pronouncing it unconstitutional The
only two Judges ever elected to IFS bench by
the Republicans upheld the law; Judge Shars-
wood-elected last fall by the very frauds
which this act is intended hencefortb to nre-
clude-gave the casting vote for nullification
The cotfee-coored naturalization papers hay
ing given him his office, he evidently holds
hlmielf bound to do his utmost in their behalf
Judge Henry X, Stroug-who has been re-
garded as sort Of war Democrat, and who
sided with the Republicans in upholding the
validity of conscripton in the war for the
Union-went with the party of fraud, and
helped them through. So Luzerne county
naturalization certificates, skilfully coffee
stained, will be at premium this tall, with no
obstacles to their general currency.
THE NIAGARA SHIP GANAL.-The Western
papers are greatly exercised at movement
started in the Western part of New York and
largely approved in other parts of the State
in favor of the purchase of the Erie canal by
the general government and the enlargement
of the same to a ship canal. 1t is alleged
that this project is a selfish plan of the New
Workers to prevent the construction of the Nj
agara Ship Canal and allowing the produce
of the West to seek its natural channels. The
Niagara Canal is of immense Importance not
only to the West but to all the Eastern States
except New York. The power of single
State ought not to be sufficient to thwart the
just and reasonable expectations. of all the
rest. 1t is possible that our Western friends
may have discovered a mares nest," and that
the Erie movement amounts to nothing after
all.
