CITY Anair

The Democratic Senatorial Conferees of
Delaware, Montgomery, and Chester coun-
ties met yesterday at the Girard House, and
organized by selecting the Hon. Owen Jones
for President and Mr.. w. III. Hodgson for
Secretary. There we're placed in nomination
Andrew j. Anderson, of Montgomery; VIM.
Gamble, of Delaware; and BENJAMIN w.
Jones, of Chester. After two unsuccessful
ballots, the question arose as to which of the
counties was entitled to the nomination
according to previous understanding, and it
being generally conceded that Chester was,
Mr.. John H. Brinton offered the following,
which was unanimously adopted
ResoIUed, That BENJAMIN W: Jones, Of Chester
mend him to the cordial support of the Democracy
and Of all conservative citizens Of the district, as
fitted by his practical knowledge, sound judgment,
sterling integrity, and steadfastness to principle to
be useful and influential member Of the Senate Of
Sarah Madden, twenty-five years old, re-
siding in Lincoln avenue, while attempting
to fill lighted lamp with coal oil last even
ing, set her dress on fire, and, before the
flames could be extinguished, she was dread
fully burned on the breast and shoulders.
When she discovered the fire she ran into
the avenue and would have burned to death
but for the prompt assistance rendered by
some of the neighbors, who tore her burning
clothes from her body. She was removed to
the Pennsylvania Hospital in great agony,
her injuries being thought fatal.
In the Second division of the Seventh
ward the canvassers have refused to register
colored men unless they produced as
vouchers two white men. 1t is said that
about twenty-five colored men have been
thus excluded; and the allegation is that the
exclusion, being by Republican officers, is in
interest of one of the two disputants for
the Congressional honors. Yesterday, in the
Common Pleas, Mr. Christian Kneass applied
to Judge Ludlow for an alternative manda-
mus to compel the registry of Mr.. Roper, a
colored man, who had been refused. The
writ was granted, and made returnable on the
1st of October, when the Board of Canvassers

Jacob Mexican, frame maker, 26 years
old, while cunning yesterday at Greenwich
Point, accdently shot himself in the head,
causing almost instant death. He resided in

The Chinese Question Again.

The notorious and erratc Frank Pixley is now
riding the snti-CAinese hobby with might and
main This sudden outburst is generally inter-
preted to be bid for Congress from the San
Francisco district. 1t looks very much as
though Frank had only ucceedcd in making
himself unpopular with both parties. The Dem
ocrats are not disposed to consider him an
apostle of the true faith and if they did would
require him to take back seat for a while, a
thing his irrepressble go-aheadatveness puts
out of the question Republicans, on the other
hand also doubt his sincerity and view his pres
ent course as virtually declaring that be prefers
Office TO the success of the Republican party. 1t
mutually follows that PiXley is we'll abused on
both sides.
One way and another the Chinese question is
kept prominently before the people Two po-
litcal campaigns have been won by the Democ-
raey upon the issue Of opposition to the presence
of Chinese on this coast. BY vigorously taking
the initiative and charging upon the Republican
party that they preferred the Chinaman to a
white man, and intended to give him the ballot,
and all this sort of trash, they succeeded in
arousng the prejudice of race and calling among
the voters sufficiently to give them the victory.
Such nonsense white men fratcrnsing with
inferior races in preference to their own color
and kin can produce no lasting impression and
insults the intelligent voter. The other point
made by anti-Mongolians is different one, and
in relation to this very emn ent doctors disagree

NEW YORK ELECTIoN.-We suppose no one
