THERE was a lively time in the Phila-
delphia city Convention to nominate Police
Magistrates, on Wednesday of last week.
They stirred up great Democratic enthusi-
asn, such as has never been equalied by
the Fourth Ward crowd. Ii was rowdy
body from the beginning, and knocking
down and dragging out was the order OF
the day. One unfortunate Democrat who
was waltzing around in n delirium of De-
mocratic enthusiasm was hurled out Of a
second story window. Sam. Josephs, Bill
McMullin, and their crowd, we're the
masters of the situation. But then Demo
Gratis are "Reform" party, and of course

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 81.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 81.
For some days past the Republican
members of the Congressional Investigating
Committee now in New Orleans, have been
making earnest efforts to arrange compro-
mise between the contending political
parties in this State,
Yesterday evening long consultation
was held with representative Democrats
upon the subject, and to-day United States
Marshal Packard and Gov. Kellogg were
spoken with. The basis Of the proposed
compromise is that the House of Represe
tatives shall be reorganized, and the five
Democrats who were evicted on the 4th
inst. recognized as members and awarded
seats.
This concession has been promised by
the Republicans. The Democrats, on their
side, will be required to recognize Governor
Kellogg, sustain the present State Govern
ment, and pledge themselves to work in
harmony with the Republican Senate. 1t
is agreed that Wiltz shall not be again
elected Speaker. If the terms of the COM
promise can be determined upon, more
conservative man will be chosen.
Gov. Kellogg has frequently requested
the committee to go into an examination
of the election of 1872, and to decide wheth-
er he or M'Enery was elected. Mr.. Hoar
and his associates have thus far refused to
consider this question, but express great
anxiety to make some final satisfactory dis
position of the controversy in regard TO the
election of 1874.
Messrs. Hoar and Frye have been par
ticularly active in this matter, and are just
now urging the contending parties to agree
upon some terms Of settlement. The great
difficulty in the way of such an adjustment
is that Messrs. M'Enery and Penn will not
be parties to it.
Should the Conservatives pledge thesa-
selves to recognize Kellogg, it will of con. sc
be necessary for the gentlemen named TO
give up their claims to the positions q
Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Tf 3,
positively refuse to do this, and arc am,

All the Conservative Rep eeseptatives
however, are exceedingly ap .xious to ente,

OUR neighbor OF the Daily is very fire.
quently on the sensational. in order to
make political capital. Being afraid that
the Democrats will not be able to compete
with the Republicans in managing the
County affairs, he tries TO prepare the way
for their escape from censure before they
fairly have control. On Saturday last, he
published an article intended for tre-
mendous scare. in which he says money
ha1 already TO be borrowed, and that ex-
travagance by the former board Of COM
missioners. had been as large as that of the
Democratic Board Of 1872. That there
were 'but SIS, 10000 uncollected taxes to
fall back on.'' On the following Wednes-
days Dolly this same sensational editor
comes down beautifully, and says ''the Au-
ditors have concluded their report, and
that the Indebtedness of the County, on
the frat of January last, was $9l.99, and
that The assets over and above this ANAL
Indebtedness is S2S, ,0l0 40 in outstanding
taxes" His only hope for political capital
of the county finances now, is in the dumb
auditor, Mr.. Hottenstine, who, he states,
will Get up a minority report, and that be
is gentleman Of sterling integrity, &c.
We are inclined to think that Democrats
will lose confidence in both the editor and
the dumb auditor when that report ap-
pears. The two auditors who did the
work are gentlemen Of sterling integrity,
and Of large experience in auditing ac-
counts. Mr. Eisely. who has always been
an unhirching Democrat, has been noted
for twenty-five years, by his Democratic
y friends and others. as oae OF the best ac-
countants 10 the State, and who has had
probably more experience in auditing coun-
ty accounts. than any man within its boz
ders, aud in whom the people have had the
most implicit confidence for honesty and
correctness in settling up the county af-
fairs. We will give our neighbor, however,
little benefit for sensational article, that

ARIsToCRATIC DEMoCRATs.-TheD De-
mocrats of old, known in Jeferson's time
as Republicans were an honest, industrious
and Independent class of men, who did not
believe in sinecures, or men holding offices
without performing their duties. Not so
with modern Democrats. Take for in
stance in a small way, DIR. Dewitt and his
deputy transcribing clerk, and our recently
elected county Auditor, Mr.. Hottsnstine
whose Democracy is so highly concentrated
in his own person that he has refused to do
q single days work in auditing the ac-
counts of the county. He says that he was
elected not to do the work but to look on
and see that it is done. The result is MIR.
Eisely and Mr.. Muench. the other two
auditors have been obliged TO do all the
labor, while this high priest Of Democracy
has done nothing but annoy them in the
the discharge of their duties. As tax pay
er We protest against any payment being
made by the Commissioners to Mr.. Hotteu-
stine or any other dumb Auditor. We
want no drones in Office, or if We must have
dummies, let us have stuffed or wooden
ones stood up in the corners. They would
always be present and have al least the neg
alive merit of not annoying those who are
al work in performing their duties. If the
Democracy did not get possession Of an
elepha mt when they elected Mr.. Hotten-
stine. they at least got hold of an animal
with auricular appendages quite rs long,
and a disposition ten times as stubborn.

The testimony taken bv the Congression-
al Committee, investigating affairs in Ala.
pama, so far as published, show that intim.
idation had been practiced at the late
election to an extent not dreamed of by the
people of the north. Republicans were
killed, their meeting disturbed and broken
up, houses burned, and other outrages
perpetrated. The presence of troops alone
prevented bloodshed. One witness was
positive that the State would have given
10000 or $1,000 Rebublican majority if the
negroes had been allowed to vote without
intimidation.

perfect satisfaction as the VEGErINE. 1t purifies
the blood, cleanses all of the organs, and pos
sesses a controlling power over the nervous sys-
tenn.
The remarkable cures effected by VEGETINE
have induced many physicians and apotheearies
whom we know to prescribe and use il in their
own families.
In fact VEGETINE is the best remedy yet dis
covered for the above diseases, and is the only
reliable BLOOD PURIFIER yet placed before
the public.

The Omaha Bee publishes the follow
ing account of a hail-storm through
which a train on the Union Pacific Rail
road passed in August: The train was
about pulling out from the station when
the storm arose, and in a few moments
the rain began falling with such great
force and rapidity that the train had to
be stopped. The hail-stones were Of i'm
mense size, being on an average, three
inches in diameter, and of all kinds of
shapes, cones, cubes, etc. The first stone
that struck the train broke a window,
and the flying glass severely injured
lady on the nose, making deep cut.
Five minutes afterward there was not
whole light of glass on the south side of
the train the whole length Of it. The
windows in the Pullman cars were three
eighths of an inch think, and were
double. The hail broke both thicknesses
and tore the curtains into shreds. The
wooden shutters too were smashed, and
many of the mirrors we're broken by the
flying stones. The deck lights ON
the top of the cars-met the same fate.
The dome Of the engine was dented as
though it had been pounded with heavy
weight, and the woodwork on the south
side of the cars was plowed up as if
some one bad struck it all over with slid
ing blows from hammer. During the
continuance of this terrific cannonade,
which lasted fully twenty minutes, the
excitement and fear among passengers
ran very high. Several ladies' tainted,
and one lady, Mrs. Earle, wife of the
mountain division superintendent Of the
road, went into spasns, from which she
did not recover for over an hour after
the cessation of the storm. Several
persons sitting on the south side of the
ears were more or less injured about the
head and face.
