cesses that have already produced so many
gratifying results, and will introduce new
inventions and discoveries far more rapidly
than would be possible by unaided individual
enterprise. The National Photographic Asso-
citation has already done much to remove
jealousies that once existed, and
to establish photography upon broad
scientific and artistic basis, where skill and
good taste would be the sole tests of merit;
and the third annual convention, which COM
menced its sessions yesterday at Horticultural
Hall, promises to produce the most gratifying
results for the future by exciting the enthu-
siasm of its members and by interesting the
public in its objects The meeting yester-
day at horticultural Hall, and the subse-
quent reception at the Academy of Music,
were attended by large number of our citi-
zens, who listened with pleasure and profit to
what was said and done, and carried away
with them new ideas of the wonderful i'm
provements that have been made in photo
graphy within comparatively short period.
The addresses and the exhibition of views at
the Academy in the afternoon, and the
lecture of Professor Morton in the even
ing, were heartily enjoyed by the public
as well as by the assembled photographers;
and it is evident that the association has gone
the right way to work to accomplish what the
Secretary, Mr.. Edward L. Wilson, of this
city, stated in his address were its objects
to interest the public in the progress of pho
Biography and to improve and educate the
fraternity. The exhibition of photographs in
all styles and of every description of subject,
gathered from every section of the country,
is highly creditable to the photographers of
America AS Mr.. E. Y. Bell, of New York, the
Councillor of the Association, said in his
speech at the Academy yesterday:
present condition of the world, respecting its
culture, intelligence, refined and beautiful
tastes, owes much to the Photographic art"
and if the National Association goes on as it
has begun, the indebtedness of the world to
photography will be much increased, for it is
impossible that the art can stand still or that
the brightest expectations of its professors
will not at some day be realized. We hope
the members of the association will enjoy
their visit to Philadelphia, and that they will
carry home with them such pleasant recollec.
tions of the present convention that they will
have desire to assemble here again ere many
years have passed.

AFTER series of strikes in many other
portions of the country, strike has broken
out among the laborers at Washington.
Much as these demonstrations are to be re-
gretted, they seem to be unavoidable in the
present state of American society; and the
true remedy must probably be sought in
better organizations alike of the capitalists
and workmen engaged in various pursuits,
which, through joint committees, can discuss
and settle all doubtful or difficult questions in
advance, and thus avoid mutually damaging
Interruptions in important business pursuits
Meanwhile, it is the duty of the authorities to
suppress all efforts of any one set of laborers
to prevent, by force, any other set OF laborers
from working for such wages as they choose
to accept. This duty is often performed in a
very inefficient manner, especially in the coal
regions of Pennsylvania; but it is the chief
if not the only, duty that American Govern
ments have to perform in the conflicts be-
tween labor and capital.

THE REPUBBICAN LOCAL TICKETS.

THE REP PUBBICAN LOCAL TICKETS.
The use of nominating conventions is to
enable a party to select as candidates for
Office its most capable, trustworthy, honest,
and popular men. This partisan machinery
is wickedly perverted when, instead of serv-
ing its true purpose, it habitually tends to
force upon an organization dscreditable and
bad men, who are dar gerous to the COM
munity and unfit to be entrusted with official
power of any description.
The Republican party of Philadelphia con-
tains in its ranks so many voters who recog-
nize the full force of this truth that it is espe
cially dangerous for its wire-pullers and ring
leaders to again attempt to nominate bad
tickets. The feeling among many thousands
of Republican voters in this locality to refuse
to support unworthy candidates was never so
strong as it is at the present moment; and
it should be distinctly understood that
those who are now busily engaged in ''fxing
up" tickets are virtually determining in ad-
vance whether the party is to be defeated or
to be victorious. Nothing would be easier
than to secure the election of good Republi-
can nominees, while the triumph of bad
Republican city ticket is swell-nigh impossible.
1t is true that the cry of 'wolf! wolff" has
not always heretofore prevented the
nomination and the election of
bad candidates. But the wolf has
often given close chase to unpopular nomi-
nees, and nothing short of miracle can
prevent him from catching bad Republican
candidates next October. Let the rings and
FOUNDERS look to it,; and let their favorites be
wary of outraging the better sentiment sof
Republicanism beyond endurance, if they
would not have every semblance of their ILL
used power speedily destroyed.

The LATE interview between JEFF. Davis
and Horace Greeley indicates that, in Ameri-
can politics, the happy period has at last
arrived when the lion and the lamb can con-
sort together. The only thing lacking to the
harmony of the picture is the statement
that, although the face of the lamb
was 'wreathed in kindness and
smiles, with occasionally a hearty laugh
breaking the stiffness, the lion maintained
a very reserved demeanor," indicative of the
fact that if his claws had not been we'll pared,
his tail driven in, his name sheared, his
teeth pulled out, his eyes bleared, his tongue
cloven, and his paws broken, he might still
have been a dangerous beast. Meeting
Greeley as his bail-gOer, after the
lost cause was lost cause, jeff Davis
could not well help refraining from
devouring him, but we will not
trust ourselves with a contemplation of Gree
ley's probable fate if he had fallen into the
hands of Davis at earlier periods when he was
known only as that type of superlative wicked
ness, an Abolition editor, or that other incar-
nation of dreadful crimes, champion of the
Union.

THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1871.

EB- THE EVENING TELEGRAPH, from its original
establishment, has been in the receipt OF telegra-
phic news from the New York Associated Press,
which consists OF the Tribune, Times, Herald,
World, Sun, Journal Of Commerce, E0eninJ Post,
Commercial Advertiser, and RUening Express. The
success which has attended our enterprise is, in
tself sufficient evidence OF the freshness, full
ness, and reliability OF the news which we have
received from this source. In March, 1870 we
entered into a special contract by which THE
EVENING TELEGRAPH has the exclusive use OF the
news furnished in the afternoon by the Associated
Press to Its own members, the North american, IN
quirer Ledger, Press Age, Record, and German Demo
cra OF this city, and the leading journals Of the East
North West, and South; and hereafter THR TELE-
GRAPH will be the only evening paper published In this
,ity in which the afternoon dispatches OF the Asso
ciated Press will appear.

TROUBLE IN HARRISBURG.

Treachery OF Republicans In the School
Board.
In the Board of Control it will be observ ID
that through the treachery OF two members
elected ia the First ward of this city no orgaoi-
cation of that body was effected at the meeting
last night, the vote being tie, IL to 10
Messrs. j. f. Ferree and John Horton, the
members from the aforementioned ward were
nominated and elected by the Republicans, and
have this year, as they did last. betrayed the
trust reposed in them by the Republican voters
of the ward, by voting with the Democracy for
their candidate for President.
By the arrangement last year, J. K. Ferree
was elected Secretary, and in return for his
vote this year the Democrats have agreed to
vote for him for re. election to that office.
The Republicans of the ward should walt on
the gentlemen named and demand from them
an explanation of their conduct, and at the
same time insist on their carrying out the prin-
cipes of the party and supporting the nomi-
nees thereof or to resign their positions as
members of the board .-Hdrrisbltrg Telegraph,

COLONIAL OPPOSITION TO. TIE
WASHINGTON TREATY.

WASHINGTON TREATY.
The UNITED STATES and tha United King
dom, with their 7O,OOO,0OO of people, may
well be appalled, at the prospect looming MP
before them. Of what avail will it be for
Uncle Sam and John Bull to make up their
old quarrels, shake hands, and try to be
friends, now since the mighty powers of New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Ed
wards Island have sternly resolved to de-
wise measures for securing united action
against the Washington Treaty? Vain
will be Grants efforts to smoke a pipe of
peace with Gladstone since the Bluenoses
have resolved to knock all the tobacco out of
the bowl. The irate colonists still clamor
loudly for the guardianship of their ocean
treasures, and Hamilton Fish cannot appease
them. By the combined efforts of our
army, navy, and a few million volun-
teers, we may be able to repress the
indignant ardor of the Cape Codites,
Marbleheaders, and Nantucketers who are
marshalling under the invincible banner of
Ben Butler, but it is folly to hope that the
British Empire can stihe the savage rage of
the New Brunswickites, Nova Scotians, and
Prince Edwards Islanders. Something worse
than the Alabama question is thus forced upon
us; and nothing short of personal trip of
Queen Victoria 20 her plucky little domi-
Mons, with the purpose of spanking every
mothers son of their agitators, can subdue the
threatened outbreak

THE HON GOPATHIO CONVENTION
THE twenty third anniversary of the Ameri-
can Institute of Homeopathy, now being
held in this city at the hall of the Mercantile
Library, will attract attention to the system
of Hahnemann, and will show how firm
foothold it has in spite of the opposition it
has met with, and in spite of
the social and professional ostracism
that has pursued its practitioners. 1t cannot
be denied by the most devoted advocates of
the old medical systems that homeopathy has
adherents of the highest culture and profess
sioual skill and many of our liberal minded cti-
zens, who perhaps have no particular faith in
the doctrines of Hahnemann, will cordially en-
dorse the sentiments of the resolutions passed
yesterday, and particularly that which refers
to the exclusion of skilful hompopathists
from positions of honor and trust
in the public institutions of the country
and in the Government service. If
homeopathy has done no other service to
humanity, it has at least compelled the old
school physicians to diminish their doses, and
to reform many of the absurdities of the
practice of fifty years ago. 1t is aoknow-
louBou h5 AdCt, NO pcloNo, AZ Iho prooohe
time. with all schools of medicine, that with
physic, as with other good things of this
world, little goes a great ways, and that
very frequently none at all is better than
even a little. Whatever may be
the merits or dement's of the controversy be-
tween the old and the new-school physicians,
the bitterness that exists between them and
the harsh language that is often used is credi-
table to neither, and it is to be hoped that the
day is not far distant when they will be able
to recognize each other as sincere seekers
after truth. The Homeopathic Convention
now sitting in this city probably contains as
much culture and skill as any assembly OF
medical men that could be gathered together
in this country, and it is to be hoped that the
discussions and interchange of views will be
beneficial both from a scientific and hu.
maDitsIian point of view.

I've read that screed about BludSo,
Who run on the Prairie Belle:

But there's one thing that's dead certain
The fellow who spun that yarn
Knows more about haystacks than
smokestacks.
And | think that he'd better larn.

And engineers work and the like,
A safety valve from throttle,

And as for a couple of wives or so
And things as bad or worse,
fhold those are private matters
And not fit subjects of verse.
What look at is the foolishness
That he put in an engineer lips,
About "hoIding her nozzle agin the
bank"
And the way that he passed in his
Dr. chips.
Does he think that a greaser uses a pole
To poke steamer along!
Don: he know that an engine IL ca

A man that runs The Nississip
Has trouble and worry enough
Without being saddied after he's dead
With lot of disgusting stuff;
Why fellow that didn't know more

he couldn't have held place
On a ''wheelbarrow' boat to tow coal

Much more on packet Of race.
