The municipal canvass in Philadelphia in
creases in interest and activity as the election
approaches Col. Mcclure, the candidate Of
the Rcformers against Mayor Stokley, ad-
dresses public meetings nightly, and his oppo-
nents are making it very warm for him and
for all the candidates on the ticket with him,
by a very thorough Oyerhauling Of private
character 10 this Col. Mcclure makes no
answer now, but promises a response after
Che election. The Rcformers give evidence of
their earnestncsS in the action reported III our
Philadelphia letter requesting candidate ior
Receiver OF Taxes against whom charges of the
gravcst character have been preferred to with
draw. The request being complied with, the
vacancy on the ticket viii be filed at Il meet
inc TO be held this evening. The prospects Of
success fOr the Reform ticket are very good,
but it is to be regretted that there should be di-
visions among those who have hitherto labored
so earnestly for the cause, and especially that

ton, should feel constrained 10 separate from

possibility of securing now trial at present,

Porter will get an honest hearing, and have
the old trial set aside as null end void, as well

The proclamations OF Captain General Jo-
Yellar for suppressing the insurrection in
Cuba have not that sanguinary appearance
which characterized those Of his predecessors ;
but in both there is the same show
of vigor His predecessors, too, had
bright auticpations of u speedy close
of the war; yet they found that the re
sources at their command were insufficient.
when it is considered that CUBA is suffering
from great commercial embaTassncnts, II Is
difficult to believe that the insmrection will

Mr.. John Quincy Adams takes no stock in
the Philadelphia Exposition. In the course of
"a speech in the Massachusetts Legislature in
opposition to a resolution requesting the SEN
atOrS aud Representatives in Congress from
that State to use their influence in favor of
an appropriation for that object, he denounced
the whole scheme as one whose sole purpose
was to make money. and as unworthy the
nation and the occasion. Mr.. Adams is apt TO
take original views of things. His speech had
the effect to lay the resolution on the table.

After a long and somewhat SUSPICIOUS uciay,
the Treasury Department has finally decided
TO give Congress the light it has 50 anNo"Sy
desired on what are known as the SanDorn
contracts, under which few favored indIyid-
uals have made immense profits in tho cohec-
ton of Government taxes. The documents
have been withheld upon variety OF pro
texts. chief OF which was that to make them
public would defeat certain plans Tor pros
ecuting deHuqueuts. Possibly the publication
Of the contracts will do away with any iur-
tbcr necessity for assigning reasons tor the
reGceuce OF tho Department.

In an interview with a representative OF i
Washington Sunday paper Col. John ). Mosoy
has given his views Of the political SITUATION
in Virginia, the gist of which seems to De
that in his opinion the last election put an
end to the Republican party in that state
and that the Conservatives are fayorably dis
posed toward President Grant. Col Mo'oy
desires a union Of white men, North ana
South, in behalf of what was lately called
a "wmte mans government" and he ap-
parenty thinks that IN such union President
Grant could be counted on. These opinions
derive their only significance from the fact
that Mosby is a frequent and welcome visitor
at the White House, and seems to ENJOY In
large degree the Presidents confidence.

visited two market gardens in the outskirts OF
the town and engaged great supply of cucum.
bers, onions, peppers, and tomatoes, and had
brought back the strong girl she had first felt
obliged to dismiss, to help her in her new work.

are so few grand things that people can do in

they are working for fun rather than from me-

was tho trueHt word he ever uttered; ~ declare

The proud woman soon heard of it, and she
talked angriy about what Mrs. Adams and Mrs
Col. West, and purse proud Miss Allen would
say, and she almost inclined to think it would be

old man, whose attitude during instrumentation
was that OF ono caught in cutting hailstorn

Should the latter bill become law, par
ties who desire to purchase books of any
description can deal directly with the pub
Usher, as the cheap postage would enable
him to do SO, thus saving money, and do
ing away with the services Of the retail
dealer. This would not suit booksellers
in the country, but the people would profit
by it.
The Banking and Currency Committee,
at its meeting yesterday, agreed by a vote
of ten TO one to report adversely upon
Judge Keley's 3-6j bond scheme. The
gentlemen composing this committee could
see no possible means of initiating the cur
rency by this method of Mr.. Kelley's. To
obtain the bonds the people must put their
money in the Treasury of the United
States, and without any clause in the bill
to have the money again put in circula-
ton, it might as well be locked up in the
| banks, or hid away in some dark corner Of
