Great excitement prevails here concerning tho
Mayoralty Of this city, and at present the indca-
tions tnat the contest gill be the most exciting
and bitter ever known III the Quaker CITY. 1t is
understood that prominent members OF the reform
and democratic parties are anxious to select
single candidate, who will receive the votes
OF both organizations and gather about him
suficent support to overthrow the re-
publicans now in power. Colonel John
w. Forney. OF the Press, has been the one ear
nestly brought forward the favorite person upon
whom all The minor political clements could agree.
and as one who could fill the office during the Cen
tennial celebration with the greatest dignity ana
grace.
THE HONOR DECLINED, WITH THANKS.
By means OF q private letter, written by Colonel
Forney to-day and received by a warm personal
friend this evening, your correspondent Is enabled
to be the first to announce his absolute and
downright refusal, in his own WORDS as f0llows:-
''On the subject OF The MayOraty let me now say
to you that there Is no consideration and no con-
tingency, near or remote, that could tempt me to
accept the position OF Mayor of Philadelphia.

Judge DureH Taking Time BY the
FOrelOck.


ForeIock.
He does not think it prudent to continue in
Office and run the risk of impeachment. The
telegraph informs us he has resigned. Before
the Congressional investigating committee had
finished its labor of inquiring into his con-
duct he was urgent to get an appointment as
Minister abroad This would virtually have
whitewashed him. No doubt he thought that
much was due to him for his subserviency to
the administration and the republican party in
the infamous affair of overturning the legiti-
mate government Of Louisiana. But the Pres
ident seemed to be afraid of granting this
reward in the face of the damaging charges
against Durell. AS last resort, now that the
investigating committee is about to report, he
follows the example of Judge Delahoy, of
Kansas, and Judge Sherman, of Ohio, and re-
signs. But can or will the President accept
his resignation until the report is made and
justice be done? Party services should not
shield him. While the republicans are sing
ing pmans over the conviction and punishment
of democrats in high places they and the adj
ministration cannot afford to let prominent
and notorious offenders in their own party
escape. The party has enough odium to bear
already without shouldering such an addi-
tional and crushing weight.

SPANISH NAVAL INSULT TO THE AMERICAN
FLAa.-By telegram from Havana, under date of
the 10th instant, we are informed of the perpe-
tration of another insult against the American
flag by vessel of the Spanish navy. Captain
Blakeney, of the brig Margaret, from New
Orleans for Havana, reports that his vessel
was overhauled and boarded by Spanish gun
boat when ten miles off the Moro, that he
was required to show the papers of his vessel,
and that the Don requested to have the
matches of the brig opened. The latter do
mand was refused by Captain Blakeney, and
the man-of-war's man left.

STUBBORN CARTAGENA- Cartagena still
fights bravely, and as yet there are no indica-
tons that the forces of resistance and endur-
ance inside the city are exhausted. On Fri
day, we are told, the government troops made
an attack on Fort San Julian, but, repulsed
with considerable loss, they retired, and after
wards withdrew to the camp. At the latest
firing was vigorously kept up on both Sides
1t is undeniable that Cartagena has fought
WELL Pity it is that she does not fight in
better cause. The men who now control that
city are not satisfied with Serrano, as they
we're not satisfied with CASTELAR,. There is too
much reason to believe that Cartagena is filed
with the dregs of the Paris Commune Their
fight is therefore the fight of despair. If we
knew more of the sufferings of the inhabitants
we might wish more intensely for the cessa-
ton of hostilities. Unless he can put down
the Cartagena revolt Serrano cannot remain
in power. It il not fair, however, to expect
Serrano to put forth his full strength all at
once. Time must be allowed TO test him as it
has tested bis predecessors

The ASSISTANT ALDERMEN. inscrut-
able persons who get themselves elected to
the Board of Assistant Aldermen in this well
robbed city have got up row that seems
likely to concentrate upon them some small
share of public attention. They are in a state
of schism with two presidents. one of whom
must necessarily be bogus, and their case is
calling out from the legal authorities opinions
and arguments as to which of the presidents
and adhering members constitute the real
Board of Assistant Aldermen of the great
metropolis. If they go on at this rate the
Assistant Aldermen will make themselves
public characters and people may become
familiar with their names.

concluded that il the President even after
the confirmation of Mr.. Cushing as Chief
Justice, should see fit still TO send him out as
Minister to Spain and as Chief Justice. he can
do 80. The inference follows that General
Grant meditated doing so. and upon this sug-
gestion the Senate may teach him q new
lesson in civil service reform.
And, if called for, why nots Why should
Mr. Gushing hold these two important Offices
when, for the proper discharge of the duties
of either, the incumbent cannot be involved
in the duties of the other? And has it come
to pass that in this man, though in the sew
enty-fourth year of his age, General Grant
has found the only man in the United States
qualified for Chief Justice and the only man
believed to be competent to relieve Mr.. Fish
of his Spanish embarrassments? There is
trouble brewing here. When there are so
many hungry and patriotic republicans,
whose ambition would be fully satisfied with
either Office. and who. as laborers in the
party vineyard, have borne the heat
and burden of the day, what can
General Grant expect but party revolt in the
Senate if it is understood that his purpose is
to send out Chief Justice Cushing as Minister
to Spain? Allowing that this man of rare
accomplishments and diplomatic and judicial
experience is admirably qualified for either
position, he is certainly not qualified to dis
charge the duties of the one Office in Wash
ington and Of the other at Madrid at the same
time. Nor can the Chief Justice now be
spared on foreign mission, as in the early
days of our government. Nor are competent
and willing men for the public service so few
and far between as to justify the bestowal of
two important public Offices upon any one
man at the same time under any pretence of
expediency or necessity.
In the nomination of Mr.. Gushing for Spain
the President dealt fairly with the Senate, and
his nominee was promptly confirmed. If in
his nomination of MIR. Cushing for Madrid
the Senate had suspected that the President
was acting for double purpose the Judiciary
Committee would, doubtless, have held the
subject in reserve for thorough examination.
As it is, these two nominations of Mr.. Cush-
ing, so rapidly following each other as to con-
fuse friends and adversaries, apparently involve
foolish game with the Senate, which, if per-
sisted in by the President, must result to him
in another Notifying defeat. Mr.. Gushing is
qualified for either of the offices in question;
but he is not qualified to fill both at the same
time. In the event of his confirmation for
Chief Justice, which of these Offices, then, is
he to take9 This is question which should
at once be answered to the Senate. The party
considerations suggested against Mr.. Gushing
as Chief Justice are entitled to no considera-
ton. He is as free, no doubt, from party
ties or prejudices as any man in the country;
