Two things relative to the Cincinnati
Convention seem to be pretty clearly de-
veloped. First, that it will be harvest
for hotel keepers; and second, that it will
be huge, misshapen, unwieldy sort of
affair. We arrive at this conclusion on
reading, in our dispatches this morning,
that one hundred and seven delegates have
been appointed from the State of Kansas,
which has Congressional representation
of two Senators and one Representative,
and further from statement in the Gin
cinnati Gazette, that one thousand dele
gates from Missouri have applied for hotel
quarters. If every State in the Union is
represented in proportion to Missouri,
there will be, in round numbers, 10000
delegates on hand. If these can not save
the country, it would be just as well to
let her rip

OUR STREET L0AFERs.

Our attention has been of late repeated
ly called to the large number of vagrant
boys who spend their time ON our streets
studying mischief and annoying the pub
lie. Many good men have talked to us on
the subject and want to know if something
cannot be done to remedy the matter. We
think there is very simple remedy, but
the question is, are our people ready to
try it? The problem has been solved in
many States in Europe and America. We
refer to the Compulsory school laws. Now
we dare say, every sensible citizen of
Knoxville will admit that if these idle
boys who are being educated ds criminals,
were forced into schools, the majority of
them might become usefu! citizens. The
question is really not yet practical
one II Tennessee, for in most counties we
have no schools free to the poorer classes
to force upon them compulsory education.
But the question is practical one in
Knoxville. Public sentiment can be made
about as potent to force these boys into
school as laws would be. If all good citi-
zens will actively use their influence to
make these worthless vagrant boys feel
that they are sCdtched, it is a moral police
worth as much as the strong arm of the
law. If boys already idle are made to feel
this public sentiment, the restraints will
act to drive idly disposed boys into school
and into better moral habits. We refer to
this subject and urge the Importance of
it, because we feel it is needed.
We believe the numbers and character
of these street loafers are increasing and ii
is an evil we must watch as closely as we
would pestilence that breeds death and
misery. We police our streets to detect
crime and prevent ep idemics, but we neg.
lect that moral police that would lessen the
number of criminally disposed and relieve
society of one of its most dangerous foes
If all who feel the necessity of action in
this matter will act, we will guarantee
beneficial results will follow.

THE New Yoak Finu1cier of the 9Th

nancial condition and policy of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. The FGndn-
cier presents these figures, which it says
are of national interest In 1862 its liabil-
tiles were S3O,S1O,O36; construction ac-
counts, 500, SS8, 551; miscellaneous assets,
s., 6l1,O77; net revenue, S4,873,21s. In
1867 these figures had risen to-liabilities,

miscellaneous assets, S14, S60,Oll; net reve-
nue., 81, $50. In 1871 the account stood

1t will be observed that while the obligations
of the company have, during this time, run up
from less than $3l, 100000 TO over S9O,0OO0OO,
the construction account has increased only
about five millions. That is, the road, which IN

CRIMINAL SECRECY.-The martinets of

beneath the dignity of a regular physi-
clan to advertise. If a member of the
faculty should discover an absolute
remedy for any disease it would be q
breach of professional decorum to offer

VINEGAR BITTERs, although compare

hemispheres. 1t has been advertised

has been the preservation of thousands
of lives, and the prevention of an untold
amounto of physical torture. DIR. Walker
thinks that the " greatest good of the
greatest number is the true object of
medical science, and hence he steps
boldly out of the contracted circle of
professional e~xclusiveness, and places
his Great Restorative within the reach
of all. Its beneficial effect in cases of
chronic dyspepsia, b~iliousness, kidney
disease, govt, diseases of throat and
lungs, rheumatism, nervous complaints,
and all disorders of the secretive and
excretive organs, is beyond al estimate.
