We are glad to know that our fellow citI-
zen, Isaac Levy, of the drygoods house OF
G.. Rice & Co., by his energy and persever-
ance was specially instrumental in getting
all the business houses of our city closed
o-day, instead of yesterday, as previously
agreed upon among a majority of our
merchants, making it more agreeable to
our jewish population, as this is one Of
their holidays; and we doubt not it will
suit equally as well the balance of our
people; and we hope they will all attend
the Fair.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 4.-The delegat es to
the Southern Commercial Convention
were welcomed in splendid speech by
George H. Pendleton. The Convention
was organized by appointing Mr.. Garrett,
President of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, President. A motion to change the
name from Southern to Northern Com
mercial Convention created a great deal of
excitement. The Convention adjourned
without deciding the motion. There is
much dissatisfaction expressed by South

manipulate the Convention in the interest
of certain railroad rings.

This may be readily believed when we are
assured that in the streets and houses of the
POOR there is not drop of water either to
sa iefy the cravings Of nature or the no less i'm

the form of a bath, and go for weeks and

hands, saying nothing of the filthy clothing
about their persons.

ADDRESS OF THE SENATE AND REPRESENTATIVE
CAUoUs-''EooNoMY, HONESTY, AND THE CON-
sTITUTIoN."
WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Democratic
Senators and members in Congress at caucus
held last night agreed upon an address which
was to-day signed and issued as follow
To our Fellolo- Citizens of the United States,
Friends of Constitutional, Economical, and
Honest GOUernDlent:-
The undersigned beg leave to call your atten.
tion TO the peculiar Importance of the elections
which take place this year, and respectfully TO
submit some suggestions for your considera-
tions. By the State Legislatures TO be elected,
nearly one-third of the United States Senate
will be chosen; nearly all the members of the
next fall. Upon coming elections, then, depends
the question whether the Democratic and con-
servative element in the Senate shall be in
creased, and whether that element shall have
a majority In the House of Representatives, and,
as a consequence, whether we shall have con-
stitutional, economical, and honest Government,
or a continuance of revolutionary, extravagant,
and wasteful partisan rule. Whether we shall
have general uniform, just, and constitutional
legislation, with reasonable taxation and frugal
expenditure or unconstitutional, partial, unjust
class legislation, with oppressive and unequal
taxation and wasteful expenditure.
That we have strong reasons to hope for
favorable result is plainly apparent. The cleo
tion already held clearly shows that the tide of
reform has set in with power that cannot be
resisted, II no blunders be committed by the
frauds of reform. If they do their duty and act
wisely II they throw off all apathy and act with
yigor and steadfastness, there is every reason to

SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

SECOND CONGRESSlONAL DIS IRlCI.
10 the Editor of The Eoening Telegraph,
Having taken great interest in the vital ques-
tions which have for years past been under con-
sideratiOn, yet unsettled in our National Con-
gress, take the liberty of making a suggestion
for the settlement of the difficulty which has
arisen In the selection of nominee from the
Second Congressional district.
Neither of the gentlemen claiming to be the
nominee has satisfactorily established his power
TO secure a majority of the votes of the conven-
ton, consequently it would be exceedingly
unwise to present either as the chosen candi-
didate, and acOrse than .foltyto present both upon
a diuided ticket. / am of opinion the people
desire q change in the representation from this
city, for it is evident the present Congress does
not understand the wants of the country and is
hence unable to relieve US from the evils threat
ening our commercial interests.
We have far too many lawyers in our National
Councils. What we want is practical business
men, who from business experience in the ware
house, manufactory or workshop are far better
prepared to judge of the requirements of the
nation than are merely professional men.
Both the gentlemen claiming the nomination
are lawyers. Let the convention again assemble,
drop Mesers ONeili and Greeley and nominate
an experienced business man, say John Price
Wetherill, who is so well known in Philadelphia
an upright, honest and intelligent business
man, fully competent for the position.
Yours, d. s.
