The announcement that had gone out,
of serious factional troubles among the
Democracy of New Jersey and the alien
alton of many Of the party leaders from
the organization this year, is effectuaily
contradicted by the proceedings of the
state convention yesterday. Called 1T a
very hot season, only to name electors, 1t
attracted full attendance, and its
makeup was a most marked contrast to
that of the "spiritless gathering re-
Gently assembled by the Republicans for
like purpose. The spectacle of Gen.
Mcclellan presiding is scarcely less
vivid contrast with that of the notorious
Pangborne, the ex-revenue collector
from Jersey City, who ran the late
Republican ceremony. Between the
two men there Is all the difference of a
gallant soldier and eminent citizen and a
notorious and disreputable party hack.
Gen. McClellan's speech was terse,
vigorous aud graphic statement of the
issues Of the pending struggle, and the
satisfaction with which it was received
will command wide and respectful
attention from the thousands of Repub.
lican soldiers and citizens who admire
and trust him. Gov. Abbett's appear
ance and speech before the convention,
ex Senator Stockton's presence, aud
Senator McPherson's telegram were
sufficient answer to the report that these
and other distinguished leaders of the
New Jersey Democracy would give less
than their entire energies to the good
cause this year.
New Jersey has only once since lSGl
given any Of her electoral vote to Re-
publican candidate for president. She
will not make any new departure this
year.

We observe that when business firms
fall, the partners are never able to tell
how they stand Just as when banks
suspend payment their officers are never
able TO give a prompt statement Of their
condition. In banks the trouble 30 often
springs from the rascality of officers,
Who run away, and who have locked mp
the books to conceal their transactions
that the ignorance OF those they left in
the lurch behind them, Is not surprising,
But why should not the partners in busi
ness firms tnat go to pieces, without
the fraud OF anyone who has run away,
be cognzant of their precise condition !?
II they are not 1t Is not surprising that
their business has been unsuccessful,
since it indicates carelessness Of man
agement calculated to make 1t so.
Our text just now Is taken upon the
occasion Of the present failure of Warner
& Merritt, in Philadelphia, the largest
fruit importing house in the country,
and some smaller concerns. The part
ners protest to the reporters that they do
not know how they stand. We think it
most probable that this ignorance is
feigned; and that the reporters are not
told the truth, probably because it is not
thought to be any of their business, and
because the confession OF disastrous
failure is humiliating one to make.
There may be, and often is, reason for
prosessed ignorance in the fact that the
failure would I've seen to be fraudulent
one, IL the partners confessed that they
were doing business when they knew
that their liabilities were greater than
their assets. 1t seems to us that the
common practice Of continuing business,
when those engaged in it know their
insolvency, needs to be checked by al
aroused public sentiment and stringent
legislation. How much honesty is there
in holding oneself out to the world rs
solvent, aud obtaining credit which
would not be got If the facts were
known 2 There is none at all. 1t is a
clear case of obtaining money under
false pretenses, and is punishable as
such. 1t is surprising that the law i:
not oftener invoked to punish such
practices, that have become common
by their immunity. The pretenCe
of ignorance is used success
fully to cloak the rascality
and men who have been conducting
great businesses confess themselves fools
to escape the punishment of knaves. 1t
is a transparent device which should not
avail them. IL cheating failures were
punished, honest failures would be few
The rascality of Grant Il Wards busi-
ness, opening up so much general ras
cality in business, has resulted in ouI
present depression. With honest meth
DDS there is no need ever in this growing
country for business stagnation.

The Philadelphia Times and the NoC
Era are having discussion as to the
propriety of denouncing Blaine for his
libel suit The NeW Era appears pro-
foundly convinced that the Times is
deeply wrong in attributing to Mr..
Blaine anything but the loftiest motives
and the highest senslbilities in flying to
the law TO defend the honor Of his fam
lily. The Times, which has a habit of
protesting its belief that the New Era
can be sensible when it wants to he, as =
sumes to believe that it is really indig-
nant with it for intimating that Blaine's 8
motives were anything but lofty, and his
action anything but wise, in suing the
Indianapolis paper, after forgiving the
kansas paper and the Chicago paper
and suing too, for money damages In the
United States court. 1t is quite anus.

which the Times comes up to the blus-
terlng Neo Era and hopes twill believe
1t to be really sincere when it processes
that 1t Is friendships wounds it deals
upon Mr.. Blaine. The Times seems of
late to be somewhat unsteady in its
steering, but We really never thought it
would get 80 far as to profess that its
blows at Blaine were friendships. From
such Mr.. Is. may justly ask to be ex-
cused. We have no particular interest
in the newspaper parley to which we
