will point out any injustice to the banks, or
to the people, either debtors or creditors, that
will be caused by giving the project the form

abandon it. We simply throw it out as a sub

The Pennsylvania Republican Convention
meets in Harrisburg to-day, and the ennis
saries of the Philadelphia King are promp.iy
on the ground to dictate the ticket for which
the rank and file of the party are to vote In
the approaching election. Our dispatches
state that the delegates are little concerned as
to principles, but have very strong prefer
ences as to men. This is not 80 surprising
when we read that the Convention is largely
composed of holders and their adher-
ents. With such men there is no BOND OF
union, and no incentive to work so strong as
the cohesive power of the public plunder.
We could wish for the Republicans OF Penn-
sylvania that their political destinies were
confided to better hands.


The report of the proceedings of the
American Association for the Advancement
of Science, which we give on another page
indicates that the convention settled down to
very steady work, undisturbed by the abund-
ant offers of excursions and visits which were
showered upon the members They have also
succeeded in healing what might almost be
denominated an intestine feud of long stand
ing, and by the adoption of new constitu-
ton have paved the way to an increase OF
their prestige and of the service which the
Association can render to the cause In which
it is engaged. The great variety of themes
handled at the session yesterday will furnish
to almost every thinking man some new light

of research, and there are few that Will fail

The iocular designation of the Summer Cap

a more serious air when we are informed that
the President has not been to Washington

revolve around Long Branch, where the
sessions of the Cabinet are now held.

IT is true that Judge Mills in

city attorneys declined, and swore

do so we don't understand; and
surely, having done so, it is not fair

Col. Vance makes the Civil Rights
Bill his theme. He raises the hair
on the heads of his audience by tell
ing them that the effects of the bill
will be to force the white and black
children to attend the same schools
This is just like the old Democratic
cry of ''Fathers, protect us from ne
gro husbands" There is just as
much sense and propriety In one as
the other. There is nothing IN tne
Civil Rights Bill that is not already
provided for by the Constitution Of
Ohio. and nothing to prevent separate


schools for colored children. The
Colonel appeals to his hearers to elect
him, so he can oppose the passage of
the bill. He forgets that Mr.. Bundy
will be the member of Congress for a
year vet, and in that time the Civil
Rights Bill will be disposed Of The
Colonel had better take some other
theme. He doesn't hold good hand

A TOUCHING marital item comes to
us from the West. The blushing
bride locked her chamber-dOOr, as
soon as she retired after the ceremony,
and made no answer to the pleading
appeals of the husband that it should
be opened unto him. How he passed
the night doth not appear; but, on
the next morning, when the carriage
drove up that was to bear them on
their wedding tour, he stole quietly
down stairs, and drove hastily off
alone. He visited all the summer re-
sorts that they had laid out for their
honey moon, and upon returning a
fortnight later, found that the door
was open.

We publish elsewhere two letters in
regard to the threatened riot in Somer-

on the ground, and who accompanied
the troops to the scene of blOOdshed.
Glad as we are that there was no real
necessity for the presence Of our neO-

peace had been restored before their ar
rival-we are yet proud that they re-
sponded so quickly and so patriotically,
aud are very glad they were already
organized so as TO be ready for an
emergency Of just such a character. We
remember the poor fellows that sleep in
graves that mark the ebb and flow Of
battle all over the south, and we rejoice
that the spirit that animated them and
their surviving comrades still lives, and
that the generation just entered upon
the E ald OF action, like them, are prepared
to perform their duty in whatever shape
it may come to them. We say again
that we rejoice; We are deeply thank
ful, and profoundly grateful that there
was no necessity for their services, and

regatta of the fourteenth Of September,
has been declared null and void. It is
therefore announced that the race will be
rowed over again tomorrow without fail.


The HOwards are determined to row, as
any postponement will debar them from
participating, the members of that club
being so situated in their business relations
during the winter as to preclude practice.


As the other clubs have had twenty days

expected they will put in an appearance.


Whether they do or not, the Howards

pressed upon the minds Of all. No man en-


titled by age and residence to vote can be


said to have done his duty to himself, his

tratiOn has expired. Even if you are think


ing not to vote, do not fail to register. No


true man can be Indifferent to the issues

his efforts to do his duty in the present.
Let it be remembered that the bal
lots voice speaks for all. 1t can show
no preference or favor. The vote of the
humblest colOred man, thanks to q benefi-
cent Republican government and wise
administration of just laws, is as powerful
in continuing and upholding those privileges
as that of the highest in the land. Our
enemies have reported that in some in
stances colored men have been induced to
part with their evidences Of registration.
No man can afford to trife thus with his
heritage for mess of Democratic pottage.
Register, and when you have registered
hold and guard your certificate as thing
sacred as your liberty and life, which de.
pends on judicious voting and good
government as q result. Efforts have
also been made by the opposition
to prevail upon some to attempt to
register more than once. that charges
of fraud may find foundation. He who
counsels such action is an enemy in the
camp, as all men advising dishonesty are
enemies. What is wanted and what must
be had is fair election. With clear Re-
publican majority of more than 10000 in
this State, all that the most ardent Repub.
ican wants or can desire is full and fair
vote. Disregard all Democratic mottoes
for "voting early and often" That privi-
lege will not be allowed to Democrats; to
make such an attempt is unnecessary, and
would be suicidal for Republicans. Let
one and all Republicans register once and
vote once, only this, but all of this, and Re-
publican victory is assured, and all good
citizens of Louisiana will have done their
duty. Remember one man with vote on

The one lesson that Young America needs
to-day more than all others, is to check his de-
sires for wealth and power. The country has
passed its speculative period when large for
tunes are made in day or year and when large
incomes are obtained. The next generation
must expect smaller incomes and consequently
must adapt itself to more frugal expenditures.
Hereafter, bread must be won by work, and
no field offers so sure return for toll as intel
ngent agriculture in New England. We do
not declare that general rush to the desolste
farms Of our State will afford complete So
lution Of the present business crisis, but II the
tide Of people rushing cityward could be turned
back to feed themselves and others from the
farm. the result wonld give new life to all

We remarked the fact the other day, that there
is an increasing public sentiment in favor OF
taking State and National politics out of munici-
pal affairs, putting each on it's proper founda-
tion, and electing local and municipal officers,
not upon the basis of their opinions concerning
San Domingo or the Indian Question, but with
reference solely to the fitness ability, and hon
esty which they will bring to the conduct of city
affairs. This feeling, we say, is increasing. 1t
is getting stronger, day by day, and we copy
from the St Louis Democrat, the leading Repub-
lican newspaper of Missouri, this concise state
ment Of the case:-


whenever the people insist upon absolute
separation of national from State issues, and
both State and Congressional from county or city
questions, and begin to administer each branch
of their government with exclusive reference 70
its efficiency and purity, great reforms Will
speedily follow"


This is the opinion OF the Republicans of st.
Louis, and it is sample of opinions held by
many good citizens of Wilmington. They have
come to their conclusions slowly, and only by
stress of circumstances, but those conclusions,
honestly arrived at, and sincerely held, must be
respected. We are certain that it would be
greatly to the advantage of our candidates for
Governor and Congressman if they were in nc
wise ass sociated in the public mind with the mum
icipal government of Wilmington, and we shall
insist that the question of their election and the
success of our excellent platform Of State prin
oiples shall not be entangled in local difference
as to the propriety of electing Jones or Brown
to the City Council. The two things do not
in the Judgment of hundreds of Republican vot'
ers, belong together. and it will bs a grave poll
tical error to insist that they shall. Whateve
the taxpayers of the city see fit to do at the ap
preaching election for municipal officers will b.
their own atfair-a purely local business matter


and whether it result in the choice of one o.
another person to be Assessor, Collector, O
Councilman, the State campaign will go on, OIL
its own basis, and affected by its own prope
considerations. Jump and Lohand stand o
their own merits and the selection of local off
