We know of no abler exponent of its principles than the great lawyer and statesman of Pennsylvania. He is now in Europe, bat one of his letters is doing service in behalf of Gen. Garfield. '"Oa February 15, 1873, he wrote a letter in which he expressed his con fidence in the innocency of Garfield in the matter of tSe Credit Mobiher rascality. He said: "From the beginning of the investiga tion concerning Mr. Ames use of the Credit Mobilier I believed that Gen. Gar field was free from all guilty connection with that business. This opinion was founded not merely on my confidence in bis integrity, but on some special knowl edge of nis case. 1 may have told you all about it in conversation, but I desire now to repeat it by way of reminder." This is the honest oonviction of an honest man. He may be correct or he may be mistaken. Able as he is Jhia judgment is not infallible. The opinion of Judge Black does not har monize with what Garfield has ad mitted, as it appears to ns. But we do not mean to go into the subject in detail now. We shall have some thing to say possibly much to say, when we think the proper time has come. We shall examine into the defence and try to arrive at an honest opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. The Philadelphia JTimes thinks that Judge Black's judgment has been influenced by his religions views and personal attachment to Garfield. They are members of the same church, and are devoted personal friends. It says: "They have preached from the same free pulpit of the Disciples, have long been in happy accord in all things but politics, and each has nominated the other mere than once to be the candidate for President of : . the party he doesn't vote with.' Radical as Judge Black's Democracy ia, it will have Its severest strain when he shall return from bta foreign travels to oppose the election of Y Garfield; and if he does take the atnmp or employ his pen to advo- cate the cause of his party, there will - oe.a mellowness in the tone of bis as- - saulti upon Republicanism that has never - . before tempered his criticisms of opposi- Ji?$!i Jnd? Black loves Garfield; and - fai faith in .the... few . politicians he loves re r moves mountains of either political or indi vidual sins. Guileless as a child himself v he believes all others so within the pale of his friendship, and he is no summer friend - who flees when, the frosts of adversity come. He stoutly defended Garfield from - tbe Credit Mobilier charges in 1873, in the 7 ' face rot Judge: Poland's report, and his voluntary letter to - Mr. Blaine shows how he resolves all doubts In favor of innocence, V when his friend la assailed." Tlev: Dr, J. L, Curry, ProfeaooT in Richmond (Baptist) Allege,; is in Europe!' V He 3 -was , once the most promising - pohtioal : leader-of .he.

He heaidMr.Glad stpne; ihe Liberal Premier, speak, not at his best, for the occasion did pot allow it, bit ably andtnkingly. Here is whal Dr. CurTy says: ; , "Now Mr.lQladstone arose, and was re ceived with loud ministerial applause.. For an hour he spoke with-ease and power. There was nothing in the occasion to elicit any display of eloquence, hut the speech showed vigoribf tboughtfeTCHty f je sources, command ot the best hmgU8ge,and intimate familiarity With the history of tbe Government. I AliTecognizd his vast learn ing and ability: aDdof that nothing need be said. Himanner interested rue much. It was conversation aft :.bbt arnesC He never hesitate 'tor the beat word, indulged in some gesticulation, and wefft straight to tbe point wilhbut evasion or circumlocution. Holding a position .Of jsuch immensarespon sibility, at the bead really of a Government the greatest in tbe world, one could not re press a prayer for Divine guidance and strength to be given him.". Dr. Curry adds this remark con cerning thl Premier's party that is worth considering, and it is just: "Liberalism in England must not be un derstood as meaning tbe overthrow of the monarchy, universal suffrage, or extreme Radicalism. It is simply progress, justice, freedom." 1 Mr. Tilden was nominated at St. Louis in 1876 on tbe second ballot. He received on the first ballot 417, on the second545. Mr. Hendricks was next, he receiving 140 on the first and 60 on the second. Hancock was third : hisfyote on first ballot was 75, on the 8eond, 59. William Allen had 56 on first and 54 on second bal lot. Bayard 33 on first and 11 on second. Parker received 18 votes on each ballot. On second ballot Thur man had 7 Who will lead on first ballot this time and - who will be nominated? Probably at the hour we write every five men you met would gueBs five different ways. The New York Commercial Advertiser, an influential Republican paper, says of the outlook in that State : "Let it he borne in mind if the Demo crats make i judicious nomination at Cin cinnati that New York cannot be counted upon with certainty as a Republican State. That the party will be united there is bit little doubt. 1 Even if Tilden should Denom inated the State would be debatable ground. Tammany Ball would be feeble for harm to the party in an exciting and absorbing Presidential contest, it win require nara work and eternal vigilance to carry Ne n York for Garfield and Arthur." It is not absolutely certain that Illi nois wilKvOte for Garfield. We grant the chances are much in his favor. But in view of the approaching con test it is will enough to refer to tbe figures of 1876; Here they are: Hayes 1 278,232 Tilden.. Cooper. . Others. . ..258,601 .. 17.238 .. 427 Total vote.l 554,493 Hayes over Tilden 19,631 Hay e3 over all 1,971 In a great State like Illinois, that will poll over 600,000 votes in No vember, the change of a few thou sands would give the twenty-one electoral votes to the Democratic candidate. We do not expect any help from Illinois, but it cannot, bd confidently asserted that it will go Republican if a firstrate Democratic ticket shall oppose Garfield and Arthur with their vulnerable records. Hayes's majority remember: was less than 2,000. 1 i Charles O'Connor, the great New York lawyer,' thinks the Democrats must rely npOn a good ticket and the well-known jmnciples of the party for success. As to Garfield and Arthur, he does not think they will' be hard to swallow by the Republican party. He does not believe that the Credit Mobilier scandal and the De- Golyer pavement rascality will inflict any material damage on the Stalwart ticket. He says: "The moral sense of tbe party 'is so blunted by a long course of uninterrupted depravity, that! if the candidate's record were twenty times as bad as it is, it would not diminish his popularity with tbem one iota.'" 1 The complaints are already heard in the South that the census is being badly taken. In 1870 it was notori ously defective in the South, Every man or woman or child omitted is so much damagl to the South. iWe fear more persona will be skipped than would give the South one additional Representative Jn Congress .or one more electoral vote. The matter is very important politically, i The Philadelphia JPress ia anxious for the Democrats to nominate as mean a ticket Is the Republicans ha ve, and suggests I Tilden and - Kearney. No, thank jotu . But even that would be a cleaner ticket than Gar field and Arthur. ' ,- . ... v.. j; . .... ,-..-.

But a Texas jury say not that because he was crazed with mean whiskey he is no murderer and must not be hanged. We are glad that such a farce in the way of trial is denounced by the Texas people.

ODBBBRT COianitNT. All effots to explain away the ugly facts of Mr. Garfield's record serve only to make them more con spicuous, and to demonstrate their utterly indefensible character. It would be better for his friends to frankly enter the plea of guilty in his behalf and appeal to the generosity of the voting masses to cover his transgressions with the'broad mantle of tolerant charity. Washington JPost, Dem. If Gen. Garfield didn't know that there was a colored gentleman in the wood-pile when Oakes Ames offered him a slice of Credit Mobi lier for next door to nothing, carried it for him without cost, and paid over $329 to him as dividend and all this without a dollar of invest ment on J,he nominee's part, Garfield is too sweet a' dear innooent to be entrusted with so important a trust as the Presidency. Shrewd, wicked meu are always buzzing around a weak, innocent President, in the hope of promoting their bad sohemes by his innocent aid. We want in the White House a man not so innooent but he knows vice when he sees it and not so familiar with its hideous mien that he embraces it. If Gen. Garfield was not corrupt he was weak, and we leave to our esteemed contemporaries, who, are managing his campaign thV dilemma of the al ternati ves. Philadelphia Chron i-icle-Herald.

Is a purely vegetable bitter and power ful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis tricts, tbe rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back and loins, and coldness of the spine and extremities, are only premonitions of severer symptoms, which terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse nic and other poisonous .minerals, form the basis of most of the "Fever and Ague Preparations," "Specifics," "Syrups," and "Tonics," in the market The prepara tions made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the ByBtem, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. Ayer's Ague "Curb thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate pa? tient; ami its crowning excellence, above its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system n$ free from disease as before the attack. For Liver Complaints, Ayer's Ague Cure, by direct action ou the liver and. biliary apparatus, drives out the poisona which produce these complaints, and stim ulates Uio system to a vigorous, healthy condition. We warrant it when taken according to directions. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowell, Mass.

It agreed .to admit the contesting delegations from New York and Massachusetts to seats on til the Committee on Credentials reported, but only the regu lar delegations will be entitled tQ' vote. The, .Massachusetts r delegation hld a meeting with a. vjeW to cpmpromising the difference in tbeir State, so as to admit both delegations.

CjNcnrai.Ti, Jane 22 ii A. M Up to this time nothing in relation to the probable nomination has taken a definite shape. If New York, New' Jersey and Connecticut could agree as to a ticket, it looks as if the Convention would, readily accept their de cision, so far as can be gathered from the opinions of tbe various delegates. But thus far no united action has been agreed upon. Bayard still appears to have ihe largest number of really earnest and hearty 6upporlers, but there is nothing yet to iufeUfy tbe expectation that he will win. New York being considered the pivot State, there is great anxiety to loarn who its delegation considers the most available candidate there. Bayard ia evidently the strongest in the Southern affections, but the Southern dele gates will not press him except by following Northern leaders up. 'The Field men have 8ecuredvtue promise, or many complimen tary votes on tbe firt ballot, -and in this way have increased thelrapparent strength. Georgia is expeojed to ; divide its. votes between Bayard (and Field on. the fin t bal lot, but Field's managers have not been able to consolidate the Pacific delegates for him. Tbey claim all of Oregon and seven of . Cahforsias' twelve votes. But five of the.Nevada delegates are persistently against Field. Tbe dissensions in Ohio and Iodiaua are thought by many to leave all of tbe candi dates from tbose States out of ihe question. Payne continues apparently quite strong, and the more shrewd obfiei vers tbiisk if the Tilden men hold all their seats in the Con vention and cast New York's solid vote for Payne, he will lead Bayard on tbe first bal lot. This, however, is doubtful, and the chances in any event are that Btyard's friends will stand firm, while Payne's votes will soon dwindle. These are opinions only, which are telegraphed in order to give an idea of what the preponderance of talk is, but all is at sea, and nobody can give an idea of what is to come, The Conveution is rapidly assembling, at 11.30 A. M , in tbe spacious Music Hall, whose beauties have been too often de scribed to require any further notice now, In general appearance it is rounded oblung, being but little larger in length than breadth. The platform is in the western end, while on the opposite end and on the northern . and southern sides are galleries for spectators. These galleries are being largely occupied by ladles. 1 he main body of the hall is assigned to the delegates and their opponents, whose positions are indi cated by neat banners or blue si Ik edged With gold, bearing tbe names of -the re spective Stales. The upper galleries are decorated with American flags, while at the windows tbe flags of all nations are flying, in the centre ot tne nail is suspended a blue canvass bearing the motto, "Ohio Greets the Nation." The general effect of tbe Hall is very pleasant, but its seating capacity is less than ball. that In which the Chicago Convention was held. In this respect it has greatly the advantage, nowever, oecause an or its oc cupants can see and bear. Back of the platform a great organ discourses its music and in the mam gallery at the opposite end of tbe Hall a. military band is stationed. Shields on either side of Ihe organ bearing thirteen stars, and the naltooal stripes bear also the words fceace, y ood Will, Pros perity, Happiness," on one side, and Abundance, Victory, commerce, .Enter prise," on tbe other. The arrangements ror the press, though moderately good, ate not equal to those at Chicago, having been controlled here by men without experience as to the necessi ties of tbe case, and without a disposition to seek information from tbose. who best know what is required. It follows that there is a great deal of loud complaint on the part of the press representatives, some of it certainly well grounded. Among the prominent men :on tbe plat form are to be seen Representatives Reagan, of Texas, Atkins, of Tennessee, Forney, of Alabama. Harris, of .Vireinia. Blackburn. of Kentucky, Hill, of Ohio, Springer, of Illinois, ex-Representatives Banning and Rice, of Ohio, and John G. Thompson, Sergeant-at-Arma of the House of Repre sentatives. At noon the organ played a medley of national airs, with excellent effect, eliciting much applause. Ex-Senator Barnum, of Conn., Chairman of tbe Democratic National Committee, called tbe Convention to order at 12.45 P. M., and presented Rev. Charles W. VYendle. of the Presbyterian church, who invoked the Throne of Grace; He spoke of tbe young Democracy of America having become tne reiuge ana asylum ror the dis tressed and down trodden-throughout the world and tbe light and hop of nations, and prayed that, with an nnf altering hand every unjust law on the statute book might be erased, ana our political me purged from every evil that . :&eeps back the people from the highest measure of virtue and happiness. Above all. he continued, let there be an end of all sec tional divisions and strifes. Let every root of bitterness, every occasion of estrange ment,' be removed, and let our wbolo peo ple, forgetting things that are behind and pressing forward to things that are before, be united, heart and hand, in tbe bonds of motaal confidence and good will. Help this Convention to choose for Us leaders in the aDDroachinz and honorable struggle. men of large wisdom', and experience, of lofty character and irreproachable lifejmen true and fearless in the hour of trial. yet ardent lovers of justice and peace; en able the members of this Convention to rise above all self-seeking and personal prefe rences, and in discreet party seal enter into the larger sentiment, of the public good, of American nationality and human brother, hood. Let them remember that he serves bis parly best who beBt serves God.

At St. Louis four years ago they placed in nomi nation two of the foremost men of the na tion.' (Great applause. A subsequent repe tition of the name of Samuel J. Tilden was the occasion for another outburst, the dele gates rising in their seats and cheering and waiving fans. Heasserted that they were as certainly elected as was Washington or Monroe; Subdued applause He de nounced the Republican party as one of fraud, which cheated tbe people out of their choice, thus proving their infidelity to Republican principles; but if the Dem ocratic party should again be successful, no cunning device of dishonest arbura tion should rob tbem of the fruits of their victory. (Applause. Although the Democrats failed to , inaugurate their candidate,' their cause was not wholly lost. The defeated attempted to steal the State government of Florida, and no trace remained of the carpet bag governments in tbe South except $150,000,000 of State debts accumulated by tbem as a burden upon tbe people, and the fact that Louisi ana has only one rightful Senator in Con gress. Applause. We are compelled to close our afternoon report at this point. The Convection sub sequentlyat 2 P. M. adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow. ( ' ffiffilEHl See Certificate U. S.

Dear Sirs : For years past I have been called npon to analyze all the brands of Baking Powder submit ted 10 toe iximmiasary department or tne united States Army, and I have found none to equal the "STERLING" brand (manufactured in Baltimore) in the matter of strength, L e., the amount of Car bonic Acid Oas it yields. It is, moreover, pore in an exceptional degree, containing no burnt alum, which is justly regarded as injurious to health, nor any other foreign matter whatever. In short it is a pore and highly wholesome Baking Powder. Kespectf ally yours, WM. M. MEW, Analytical Chemist. Manufactured by THE STERLING HASUFACTDR'G CO. 168 W. Madison St Baltimore.
