Nothing was carried out in pursuance of any programme, and this was not a scheme of the I Kisses that reached fulfillment The task of the convention was virtually performed in caucus, and liefore the delegates met in private meeting in the State Library no man knew exactly what would bo the result of the deliberation. The advocates 6f a now convention presented their resolution, and their arguments wore patiently listened to, but the feeling against the mode of procedure they favored was overwhelming.

Sunbubt, Pa., June 22.—William Whipple Abraham Whipple and William Forest, who lDclong to an organized gang which has committed a number of robberies and other crimes in this vicinity recently, were arrested last night Forest was found in liis house at this place, and made a desperate resistance. Ho drew a revolver, and climbing on the roof, detied the officers, but was finally captured, but escaped by jumping through the window in thu magistrate's office.' He was afterwards recaptured. The Whipple brothers were found near Montundon. One leaped through a window, and, after a chase of half a mile, was shot in the Imck, but not seriously wounded. Ycsterday Miss Chevaillicr was introduced to Acting Vice President Davis by Representative Lord, of Michigan. The President has consonted to give Miss Chovaillior a hearing this afternoon, and she has sent dispatches to Dr. Board and others to bo present on that occasion, when a very strong appoal will doubtless be made to induce the President to postpone tho execution until the question of Guiteau's sanity can be investigated.

Nesbit, of Blair, said ho had a letter from Grow in which he declined the nomination. Mr. Grow wrote that he was not a candidate for any political position. ''Engrossed in my business affairs I nave not time, had I the disposition to engage in State politics." Marriott Brosius was born in Coleraine township, Lancaster county, and is 39 years old. He is of Quaker origin, his father having boon Clarkson Brosius, a well-to-do farmer. After receiving a common school and academic edu cation, the war broke out and he enlisted, being then little more than a boy, in the 97th Pennsylvania volunteers, under the command of Col. Henry R. Guss, of West Chester. Ho sorved as private, corporal and sergeant as a faithful and meritorious soldier in all respects. Ho was promoted to second lieutenant in May, 1864, and, in-, the charge of the regiment against Pickett's command, in front of Petersburg, on May 20, 1864; lie was severely wounded by a minnio ball in the right shoulder, disabling him from further active service, and from which ho suffers to this day. Washinuton, Juno, 22.—The Ways and Moans committee to-day further considered the question of the ftnal adjournment, motions to fix the day at July 3d,' 40th and 22d, were severally voted down, and ponding a vote to fix upon July 17th as the date, the committee adjourned to attend Some little hard feeling wan induced, but the trouble found a pleasant ending by the offer and adoption of a resolution providing for the nomination of a Congressmaff-at-Large, and recommending the State Committee to adopt all honorable means of harmonizing the party so as to secure the success of the Republican ticket This lieing interpreted to mean (hat the State Committee could, if necessary, or desirable, call a now Convention, it met with almost unanimous approval. The demand upon General •Crocker for ticketa of admission to the execution is becoming great. For three months past evory day's mail has brought him some, but of late the number has much increased. Many attempts have been made also to bring official influence to bear. The law of the District, which allows only a small numbor of persons to witness the execution, will bo strictly enforced, General Crocker says. The law's provides that "the warden or one of his deputies, with such officers of tho prison, constables and other peace officers as the warden or deputy may deem accessary and proper," shall attend, and that the warden or his deputy "shall invite the District-Attorney, the counsel of the prisoner, two. or more physicians and twelve respectable citizens to be present at every such execution ; and, at the request of the person to be executed, shall also allow any of his near relatives, any ministors of the Gospel, not more than three, to be prosent thereat" Tho law distinctly proyides that no other persons shall bo present, and Geimral Crocker's laudable determination toenforce it, doubtless means that all morbid sightseers will be excluded and that the execution will be quiot and orderly. To avoid the counterfeiting of tickets, which took place at a hanging here several years ago, General Crocker will not issue the passes until a day or two before the execution and will have a check list of the invited pel (out) irt-tbe entrance to the Jail. Mr. Brosius next rose to decline, and he did it so gracefully and so modestly that a great cry of "No, no, no" went up from the convention. His speech in the caucus and his words of declination had made of Brosius the most popular man in the convention, and the delegates who had not favored the Lilly scheme, turned towards tho Lancaster county lawyer as though for relief. The assemblage was in an uproar, in tho midst of which Colonel Oobin sprang to his foet, and in an impassioned strain, described the victory that would be achieved with a Lancaster county man and such a man on the ticket.

But I am very sorry that one of our nominees, Tom Marshall, did not have as good an opinion of himself as we had of him. He could have tilled the bill well enough but for his confounded modesty—a failing which iB as rare as it is unbecoming in a Congressman or a Senator. If any mischiefmaking Democrat tries to make you believe that Don Cameron owns this convention, tell him that you have just called to preside over it a man who is not only for James A. Beaver for Governor, but for James G. Blaine for President from the crown of his head to' the soles of his pot-metal boots, and who looks upon Boss Wolfe, Boss Mitchell, and even Boss Cameron and all the other bosses as of very little account in comparison with the continued supremacy of the great Republican party. And it occurs to me that the party could spare them all for a little while just now, till after the election, with great advantage to itself. For then we should have neither Independents nor Stalwarts, but only Republicans who learned tho battle-cry of freedom under Ben Wade, Thad Stevens, Simon Cameron and Abraham Lincoln, .and whose flag has never trailed in National defeat since the complete organization of the party twenty-two years ago. If the people could only realize how transitory and of how small consequeneo both big and little men in public life are by the side of eternal principles, there would be no party schisms growing out of personal friendship or personal hatred. But of all political tantrums, the most illogical and the most diabolically unjust is to oppose a brave and giftod candidate, who is almost the unanimous choice of the party, because some "big dog of the tanyard" whom we envy, fear or hate, is also for liim. Aud on this account to be willing to hand over the destinies of the eountry to an organization when policy we believe to be pernicious, if not destructive. The right time to show your hostility is when the obnoxious follow oomes up for election. I would be ashfcmed to allow Don Cameron, or even his grand old daddy—I don't mean his old grand-daddy—to influence me half as much as our sore-headed friends are influenced by him. They have even permitted him to drive them out of the party, for the present at least and to put them in practical opposition to their life-long convictions, and to make them efficient allies of the Democratic party. Salvation by proxy is what most of us will have to depend on, but damnation by the same process is a trifle unreasonable, and yet this is the dose they offer to our pure and popular candidate for Governor and his worthy colleagues upon the regular Republican ticket Through Don Cameron all Stalwuits are to bo damned, and by him all Independents, especially when he. has the toothache. This puts both wings of the party in a bad fix. We all know that General Beaver would have been nominated if the bosses had been against him. We all know that Charley Wolfe did not get a single vote for Lieutenant Governor, although the big boss electioneered for hiifl. Wo all know that Tom Marshall got a two-thjrds rate, and yet neither Quay por Cameron ever asked a man to go for him. The truth is,no man ever lived who was big enough to own a convention of 251 picked men of the Republican party of Penn'a, and it is a calumny upon the State, the Nation and popular government to assert it There are mon in this convention whom even their wives do not own exclusively, and vet they are assessed as the sole property of one poor, inoffensive, fallible man. if it be possible for us to devise some plan by whioh our grand organization can bfD reunited with its forty thousand majority, it is our very obvious duty to Revise it, regardless of the wishes do pref..
