PENNSYLVANIA sCHEMISG AGAIN.
The hopes Of the opponents Of TildeI
now centre around Pennsylvania. sTha
State has resolved 10 vote solid for Han

no second choice behind. This action
they think will draw TO their support
enough States on the second ballot to pre-
vent the nomination Of Tilden, and ther

State would be added 10 the Hancock col.

STATUS OF THE dEhAANs. lll q 4.
AT meeting Of editors ot German
Democratic papers and independents this
evening, Charles ReemeliD, of Ohio,
Chairman, and Col. Depgleb oot NeY,
York, Secretary, the following resolutions
reported by Judge Otterbourg were
adopted: "' ''e W sA' ..., :
This meeting, composed Of Germaa
Americans from all parts OF the United
States, believing itself correctly inform.
ed, both from their own knowledge and
from information derived from many ed
itors OF German papers, as to the feelings
Of the German Americans OF this country,
declare the following to be their unani-
nous opinion: ~ -"
l. That the partisan war Of section
upon section should cease and The old
friternal feeling Of a people at peace
with itself be restored, but the war upon
the corruptionists in the public service,
who LOOK upon the Offices and business Of
the country rs their spoil, should be rig.
orously prosecuted to successful termi-
nation. af ''' !.
2. That according to the old time DEM
ocratic doctrine gold and silver is the
only money known TO the constitution Of
the United States, we say with Senator
Benton, the only money which detrauds
nobody that the legal tender notes are no
money, but constitute debt long ago due,
and that the whole financial policy Of the
Government should be so directed as to
restore specie payments.
I 8. That the present tariff Is oppressive
on trade and industry for the benefit Of
special interests, and II ought to be abro-
gated and that a system Of duties be SUBJ
stituted which shall simply and sincerely
be levied for revenue purposes SO as to
take no more from the people than is nec-
essary for the, expenses of the Govern
ment and the maintenance Of the public
faith. .
4. That the maintenance Of the public
schools by state authority is the time
honered principle Of this land; that they
should be continued in all their efficiency
and free from sectarian control, and that
the proposed transfer Of the Schools to
Federal rule by Constitutional amend
ment meets with their disapproval, both
because it is an improper extension Of the
central power, as well as because II is dan
gerous TO the schools themselves.
5. Thatthe exposure Of the frauds and
REGULATIONS Of the present administra-
lion have written with lines of living
fervor over the country, the great duty OF
the hour to cleanse the service in all its
