NOT TIE FASHION WITH US.

The London Pal MdB Gazette, in referring
to the selection of Lord Howden-whom it
styles "a clever and experienced diplomatist"
-,,s English Minister to Spain, states that
there is probably no other living English
man so well conversant with the language,
literature, institutions and public men of
Spain The New York Times truthfully re-
marks that in this country these would be
considered curious reasons to urge in favor
any diplomatic appointment" When Mr..
Motley was sent to Austria, there was some
attention paid by our Government to the
eternal fitness of things, and the same may
be said of the selection of Mr. Tuckerman as
our Minister to Greece. But these are the
only two instances that we can call to mind,
in the recent history of the country, in which
an acquaintance with the Language, htera-
ture, institutions, and public men" of TO-
reign country were given noticeable conside-
ration by the Government in the selection of
its representatives abroad. When John P.
Hale attempted to defend himself against the
scandal which has, either justly or unjustly,
been attached to his residence in Madrid, he
could begin his appeal to the people of his
own country only by confessing that, on his
arrival in Spain, he was ''of course" ignorant
of everything pertaining to the country at
whose capital he was to represent u.s. 1t may
be that President Grant has made an improve
ment in this particular mission by the ap-
pointment of General Sickles, but we are
obliged to express the gravest kind of doubt
upon the matter.

fore, or ss Rome was made 10 howl by the
orgies Of disreputable pagans in the olden
time.
Clearly, il would never do to remove the
capital to New York. Washington is bad
enough, and the Government of the country
while administered from that point is but a
tri1e better than it ought to be- But New
York as the National Capital would be inf
nitely and indefinitely worse, and the country
in less than year would go to the dogs-and
the worst sort of dogs, at that. The upshot
of the whole matter is simply that, if Wash
ington is to be despoiled of her honors profits,
and privileges as the seat of government,
Philadelphia is the unfortunate city upon
which they must fall. Philadelphia was, once
upon a time the Federal capital, and it
should never have been removed from this to
any other place Now that the question of
still another removal is being agtated, ifany-
thing comes of the discussion we sincerely
trust that it will result in the correction of
the serious mistake which was made when the
Quaker City was forsaken for the town of
magnificent dimensions and a munifcence of
dirt on the banks of the Potomac. The whole
thing is as patent to reasonable creature as
the shockingo old white hat which at this mo-
ment protects the bald pate of Horace Greeley
from the bistering rays of the July sun.

she fires something more than gunpowder, and
the Terror is something of which 20 stand in awe,
ately named from the fact that they will pour out
metaphorcal lava on the heads OF any ndiscreet
Britishers that may approach too near them"
We commend the above TO the candid CON
sideration of our readers. 1t is the first
serious attempt that has been made TO defend
the Porter-B Bore system of nomenclature, and
we hope it will be the last All that the
CAgOaiCle says on the subject only adds
strength to the arguments of the other side,
and it is about as absurdly amusing speci-
men of begging the question as we have ever
been fortunate enough to meet with. That
some of the names adopted by Mr.. Welles
were claw breakers" is true enough, but the
majority of them were judiciously chosen,
and they all had the emphatic merit of being
distinctively American. Classical mythology
has been rummaged entirely too much for
names of every description, and it was a
healthy sign for the Navy Department to dis
card it,
OF Admiral Porter's ability as an officer we
entertain no question, but that he or any
other officer of the navy is the proper person
to manage the Navy Department we do not
believe, more especially as he is entirely ire
sponsible. Since he has been the right-hand
man of the Secretary, there have been nothing
but murmurs and dissatisfaction in the ser
vice and out of it; and if Mr.. Robson pos
sesses any qualifications for the position he
holds, he will act judiciously by taking the
reins into his own hands, and dispensing with
the services of any but his legitimate
assistants

TIE DEMOCRATIC CHATRNA NSHIp.
The great and all-absorbing question as to
who should manage the Democratic coffee
pot during the ensuing campaign
has at last been settled. There was decided
row in the Harrisburg convention over the
matter, one faction desiring to have the chair
man of the State Central Committee elected
by ballot, while another wished the choice to
be left with the candidates themselves. The
latter finally prevailed. Hon. William A. Wal
lace, of Clearfeld county, who has held the
position for three or four years past, although
very active in turning out coffee-colored natu-
ralization papers, has not given entire salts
faction to the rank and file of the party. For
this reason he was counted out of the compe-
tition, but presented a candidate in the person
of Mr.. B. Frank Myers, one of the editors of
the Harrisburg MoaWing Patriot. When his
name was mentioned in the hearing of Alder
man McAIullin, that redoubtable leader of the
city Democracy remarked that it was all
right; that the west might as we'll have the
chairman if she wished it, as Philadelphia
would spend her own money as she saw fit,
''any how"
d.
G. Cassidy, Esq, of this city, at once entered
the race for the control of the coffee-pot, in
defiance of the Alderman's injunction. Be-
tween the two Philadelphia rivals for the posi-
ton there has long existed a bitter feud,
and the selection of either of them by the
candidates would have disguised and disaf-
fected the adherents of the other. The selec-
ton of Mr.. Myers was equally Objectionable,
for he was clearly understood to be a mere
automaton, with the wires and strings in the
hands of Senator Wallace. In this dilemma,
it appears that Messrs. Packer and Pershing
have hit upon the bold device of selecting a
new man, and Hon. William A. Galbraith, of
Erie county, is the one they have fixed upon.
Under his leadership they hope to
unite all the factions of the party, and sail
into power over an unruffied sea- Time will
show to what extent they have been able to
penetrate the future. But there is certainly
great deal of fitness in the appointment of
Galbraith. He comes from the extreme west
ern part of the State, and the west was under
stood to be under the thumb of Cass. Gal
braith, however, broke loose from the Cass
phalanx before the convention assembled, de-
clared for Packer, carried his county delega-
ton with him, and worked with will to
secure the defeat of his section. To him, per-
haps more than to any other man in the conven-
ton, Judge Packer was indebted for his nomi-
nation, and now he has his reward Mr.. Gal
braith is very genial sort of person, but
time alone will show whether he possesses
those peculiar qualifications which are rem
dered essential by the very peculiar md of
work which falls to the lot of a Democratic
Chairman in a closely contested campaign.

OF two beyond Columbia avenue. AT last it
stops, hut just then another train comes down
the road. It's bell is rung and its whistle
blown vociferously until it is past.
This infiction is one that need not be tole-
rattd unless our citizens wish it. In London,
fires are put out without one stroke of a bell.
and in Boston there is an ordinance which
forbids the ringing of church bells In times
when clocks were scarce and dear, there was
the ground Of necessity for these outrages
upon the community; but now every school
boy carries his watch. Do the employees of a
factory which has neither steam nor bell fail
to discover when the dinner hour comes
Why then, should there be any whistles or
bells to annoy neighborhoodP If the nui-
sance is not abated, we may come to the pass
OF calling political meetings or partisan mobs
together with our State House bell, as the
citizens of a Western town were recently sam
moned to tear up the tracks of an unpopular
railroad. Bells sung by Poe, may, perhaps
make harmony rung by muscular arms, they
make discord.

BELLS!!

RHEToRIoIANs tell us great deal of the char
mony of sound and sense:" to mortals less
highly endowed, sound often seems more
closely allied with nonsense. For example,
Mr.. A. lives near church whose bell weighs
many hundred pounds. The church has two
night services every week, perhaps three.
Mr.. A.. child ao5U go to sleep before the hour
of service, but, being unwell, sleeps rest
lessly, and wakes in fright whenever there
is a noise in the street. Suddenly, every
pound of metal in the bell-nay, it's every
atom-begins to vibrate under the ponderous
hammer. WhatmotherinP Philadelphia does not
know the result upon ''baby?" Mrs. A., whose
eyes fill with tears as she tells us the story,
little one went to heaven from horrid con-
vulsion that is chargeable to the neighboring
church bell. Or, suppose Mr.. A. to live near
the State House, and his child to be five or six
years old, but of nervous constitution. At
every signal from the telegraph operator
below the bell over, Independence Hall gives
forth the most deafening din, to inform Phila-
delphia that frame shed somewhere aoaS on
fire. That the hour is A. NJ does not re-
heve the ringer of the necessity of making all
the usual noise, and the child near by must
cry and sob till the camor ceases, and then.
perhaps, lie awake for several hours. Who
has not seen the effect of this torture carried
into later life and down to the grave?
If we consider how many churches, police
stations, engine houses, manufactures and
school buildings have bells, and then add to
these instances of children the many old, sick,
and morbidly nervous people, persons prostra-
teddy fever, whose only cureis perfect quiet"
and the many other victims of the ills of flesh,
we surely have, in a population of 800, 900,
cases enough to make good our argument,
and that, too, if we take almost any day OF
the vicinity of any bell.
But this nuisance goes further. 1t is the
source of many worries, also, as we'll as actual
injuries. student deep in puzzle with

the street, and church ''over the way" has
lent its chimes to the paraders. The proper
ringer is busy, and the bells are janged and
Jared together, therefore, by an inexpe-
rienced person, till the poor student or writer
shuts his books, puts away his papers ana
