Nomination Of VIM. D. Kelley.

1t gives us pleasure to announce that
the Hon. Vim. d. Kelley has been renom-
mated for Congress by the Republicans Of
the Fourth District Of Philadelphia. This
is well deserved compliment, and con-
cluslvely proves that his views on the fnan-
cial issues, which he has presented with &C
much force, and persistency, are thorough
lyendorsed by his constituents. Although
an extreme partisan, Mr.. Kelley has al.
ways remained faithful to the interests Of
the producing classes, and as the voters in
his district are manly composed Of work.
ing people-his election is assured. AL.
though strenuous efforts were made by the
monied power to defeat him at all hAx
ards, and elect a representative rIngsteI
bullinnist-the party manipulators found
they we're unable to control the masses
who were determined, irrespective of par
ty, had the mArplOts succeeded in theiI
design, to run him against the nominee,
and elect him. Let the workingmen in
other sections of the country 90 and dc
likewise.

THE HON. ALEX. CAMPBELL.

We have probably received i've hundred
inquiries recently, as to whether the Hon.
Alex Campbell, M. c. is or will be can
didate for reelection While this sturdy,
unpurchsseable representative Of the peo-
pies interests, will condescend to no trickey,
button-holing or unseemly competition,
we have every reason to believe that he is
prepared to accept a denomination at the
hands of his constituents, whom he has
served SO faithfully and well. We speak
whereof we know, when we assert that no
man in the present congress has made a
brighter record, commanded more respect
or Low possesses the esteem of his asso-
ciates in a more eminent degree than the
Hon. Alex. Campbell. Unassuming, faith
full, fearless, and ready at all times to give
q reason for the faith that is in him, he
has proven that neither threats, ridicule
nor blandishnents can swerve him hair
breadth, from the path where his conscien-
tious convictions lead him. A man Of
sterling integrity, irreproachable character,
unquestioned ability, practical common
sense-the peer of any member in the
house, statesman in the highest accepta-
ton of the term, who has made the sub
iect of finance the study Of a lifetime, and
who is recognized as the father of the
greenback interconvertible system, the
voters of the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict Of this State can confer no greater
honor on themselves or service to the coun-
try than by re-electing him by an over
whelming majority.

Death Of Michal Bakounine.

From foreign exchanges we learn Of the
death Of Michal Bakounine, the distin-
guished Socialist, at Berne, Switzerland.
His career was a checkered one A Rus
sian by birth-he was an agitator from his
youth he was condemned to death in
Austria, and sentenced for life to the mines
in Siberia, from which he escaped, and
fled to the United States. He afterwards
returned to Europe, and took prominent
part in the councils Of the Internationals
We had the pleasure of meeting him at the
Bash Congress in 1869, where he was re-
cognized as one of labor's leading repre-
sentatives. He was man Of commanding
presence, finished scholar, a matchless
orator, well bred gentleman, and a
thorough going, unyielding Republican.
For several years he resided at Geneva,
and Lugano, i'll reduced circumstances,
and removed to Berne short time before
his death. Peace to his ashes,
