/ Revenue Reform Republican Newspaper
on the Political Situation

n ReFenue keiOfm republican newspaper
on the Political Situation.
The National Democratic Committee
met in this city yesterday and agreed to
call a national convention in Baltimore on
Tuesday July 8. Their meeting was secret,
and we have no intimation of their views as
to the course which they desire the conven-
ton to pursue, although they were divided
in opinion, some of them believing it most
expedient to support the Cincinnati ticket,
and others believing that the only honor
able and polite course is to nominate cam
didates. A motion to postpone the call for
convention was, however, unanimously
rejected. There can be no doubt that the
Democrats now have another opportunity,
even better than that Of 1868, which they
threw away, to obtain a controlling voice
in the affairs of the government for the en-
suing four years. If they had nominated
Judge Chase in 1868, they might have
elected him; but they submitted to the
dictation Of the Bourbans, who were elated
at the prospect of Republican losses, and
nominated a ticket which was doomed to de-
feat before it was fairly proclaimed.-
VIII the Democrats now act wisely,
or will they, as in 1858, surrender
to the mere partisans and nomi-
nate ticket which can get no sup
port beyond the coppeiheads and the repu-
diators? Or will they do what is just as
bad, throw away the principles which they
have always maintained, and support the
ticket which is headed by the champion of
monopoly and centralization Although
it must be apparent to the dullest mind
that the Democrats have an opportunity to
make the next administration it is also ap-
parent that they cannot do it by reassert-
ing the dogmas which controlled the re-
bellion, or by abandoning the only prin-
ciples which they have adhered to ever since
the organization Of their party. Two things
are necessary to their success--the NOM
ination of honest statesmen for President
and Vice-President and declaration IN
their platform in favor of local self-govern-
ment, reforms in the civil service and the
tariff, and for the repeal of the franking
abuse. The two principles which the
ablest Democrats have consistently upheld
are free-trade and self-government. The
practical application of these will lead to
the correction of all the evils in detail
which are now so loudly complained of. II
the Democrats take up the peoples move
Inent which was recklessly defeated at
Cincinnati, they will reassert the principles
upon which their party, as well as the Re-
publican party was founded. ...

THE ANNIvERsARY OF THE BLUES.
Blues was appropriately celebrated yester-
day. We regret that we were unable,
owing to press Of business, to accept an
invitation to participate in the festivities of
the occasion. .-...r
After marching through some of the
principal streets of the city, the company
took up the line of march for the pump
house of the city water-works, the scene
of the interesting ceremonies. Here it was
joined by large number of its honorary
members and invited guests. Target
shooting being the first in order, prepara-
tions were Immediately made for the con-
test. Two prizes were offered-a medal
to the best shot among the active members
of the company, and badge to the best
shot among the honorary members. The
medal was won by private Joseph Sinton.
There was tie for the badge between Mr..
w. l.. Montague and Mr.. Tyndel-the lat
ter being the Oldest member, the honor was
awarded to him. Captain 1mboden pre-
sented the trophies to the lucky winners.
The company with their invited guests
then sat down to dinner, which was boun-
tiful and well served. The repast was
heartily enjoyed by all. Appropriate
toasts and responses were freely indulged
in, and the utmost good humor and fellow
ship animated the entire assembly. Mayor
Kelley, in concluding an enthusiastic and
eloquent speech, complimentary Of the
company responsive to toast, proposed
to be one of number to pay five dollars
towards purchasing new bowl to supply
the place of the famous old one destroyed
in the fire at the Spotswood Hotel. His
proposition was greeted with loud applause,
and twelve of the honorary members pre-
sent at the table at once seconded it and
handed in each five dollars. Mayor Kelley
then offered to be one of committee to
raise whatever balance might be necessary
for the object. e.s .s - -
About sundown the company was re-
formed, with number of honorary mem
bers between it and the band, and in this
order marched back to the city. After
parading through Main street, they pro-
ceedcd to their armory and were dismissed.
The celebration was an entire success.

LAKEWOOD MEMORIAL DAY. - The
memorial ceremonies at Oakwood Gene
terry on yesterday are spoken of as highly
interesting and impressive. Owing to the
backwardness of the season, flowers were
not as plentiful as desired. Yet, through
the efforts Of the ladies of the society, and
the liberal donations of visitors, enough
were secured to decorate all the graves
very handsomely, if not as profusely as
could be wished. Large numbers of peo.
pie visited the cemetery. Captain w. P,

MEETING OF THE SCHOOL BOARD
An adjourned monthly meeting of the City
School Board was held yesterday. Reso-
lutiors were passed declaring that the cleo
ton of teachers for the next session of the
public schools shall take place at the regu-
lar meeting in July, and that the examina-
ton for the selection of such additional
teachers as may be required shall be held
on the 10Th of July.
Superintendent Binford submitted his
monthly report. The total number OF
scholars enrolled from October, 1871, to
April, 30th, 1872, was 1882 white, zoos
colored total, 4,6l0. The superintendent
calls the attention of the Board to the
necessity of providing additional accom-.
modations for the probable increase of 800
to 1000 scholars during the next session
of the schools; also to the necessity of pro-
viding some protection from the sun fol-
the children at Bellevue, Baker-Street and
Leigh-Street schools, and the erection of an
assemblyng hall at the Central House.
AS the funds at the command of the Board
will be exhausted in the erection Of the
new school-house on Cary street, these
recommendations of Mr.. Binford cannot
be acted upon until the City Council
makes an additional appropriation.
The Board awarded contracts for the new
school-house to be built at the corner Of
Cary and Madison streets, to the following
parties: Carpenterng, to Messrs. Jarvis
4 Glenn; brickwork, to Messrs. VIM. Davis
& Son; plumbing and timing, to j. l..
Whitaker; plastering, to John Adams
(colored); and ironwork to VIM. Cook.
The total cost of the school-house will be
about $4,000. Messrs. Lybrock & Seiber'
are the architects.
The Board ordered that all the schools
be closed at y NJ, next Wednesday, to
enable teachers and scholars to participate
in decking the Confederate graves in Holly
wood Cemetery. ~

THE PHILHARMoNICs.- CORE
spondence between some of our leading
citizens and the Richmond Philharmonic
Association, which will be found in our ad-
vertising columns, speaks for itself. We
have only to express the regret, shared in
no doubt by all our people, that the associ-
alton deem it inexpedient, owing to the
lateness of the season, to comply with the
request made. If anything in the amuse-
ment line will ''draw" our citizens during
the heated term, performance by the
Philharmonics would mostly likely sue
ceed and should such an entertainment be
given before the general setting into summer
quarters, we promise our musical friends
an enthusiastic reception.
