—_— = THIRTY-NINTH YEAR. THE PHILADELPUIA FARCE. THE AMERICAN CHSAR'S BRABSS- COLLAR CONVENTION. neta Carrying Out nd-Dried Programme t's Ginn Operation— No Business Done-A Bread-and-Butter Ball-Wilsou Pinking Colfax, PurLaperruta, June5.--Many yearssince saw an allogory performed at a country school exhibition In a little backwoods town in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania. It was en- Utled “America,” and was the great effort of tho local talent. One of the most striking tabloaux was a lot of scraggy females coming on the stage to impersonate the different States of the Union and speak their pleces. Tho village beauty reprosented Columbia.zIn order that the Tural auditory might make no mistakes, each female was labelled with tho name of the State she was supposed to porsonate. The show was voted @ great success by the unsophisticated mountaineers, and the author of ** America, an Allegory,” was thenceforth tn thetr eyes the ri- val of Shakespeare, THE GRANT TADLRAUX, All recollection of this school exhibition had long since faded from my memory, but the mo- ment I came into the Academy of Music this morning and saw Grant's officeholders, his school of rogues, filing in to the air of “Hail Columbia’ the long forgotten tableaux “America, an Allegory,” came back to my mind. The more I looked at the scene before me the more deeply was 1 Impressed with the resomb!ance of this grand show to the humble school exhibition above mentioned. There were the little pennons s tered over the parquet to designate the different Btates, Vnd around them were gathered the school of officeholders, who were here to act master at Washington. THR ARTIFICIAL REFECT, It was cortainly a happy thought on the part of the Philadelphia Committee of Arrangements toseoure the Academy of Music, the largest theatre in the city, for the use of the Conven- Won, for it ls # piece of acting from beginning to end, Itsmacked of the stage all over. There was nothing real or life-like about it, The deco- rators have done thelr part weil. flags gracefully festooned, evergreen wreath: boqucts of rare flowers and masses of tropical plants, which, with witching gas Hghts from thousands of burners, rendered the tout ensembie Very striking and beautiful. ‘The piece has in- deed heen set regardless of cost. If there was a rand and mighty purpose moving and directing ieincn wio have assembled in thist ullding to day, all this effort at artificial effect would be tn excevd Lease. Tt would be well enaugh Tor a court ball, but for @ Convention represent. fing the hurd-tisted, horny-handed yeo: nancy of the land it would ‘certainly be inappropriate, There is, however, no principle, no lofty ideas Pa nvention of oficeholders. They ave ho thought above a servile ob. dience to itn Who holds above their official heads the de- capitating sword. It was, therefore, absolutely Hovessary that the popular heart should bo touched in some way, that something should bo done to draw the crowd, and hence this lavish display iu che ball, A GRAND BALL, That nothing may be left undone to impress the tal portion of the community, a grand b be given in Horticultural Hall tc Might, # Cemporay communication Be: Academy and the hall having been established in order that tho feminine sympathizers may ave an opportunity to gratify their curiosity.

He said he had hoped, when selected without solicitation to como as a delo- gate to this Convention, that thore might be still _an opportunity to save the party by the nomination of an acceptable Presidential candi« date—one who would obey the laws and respect the popular will; but {t is now evident that it was hoping against hope; that this is not a meeting for deliberation as to the Interests of the Republican party or of the country, but a meeting to obey the exacting demands of an ar- Totant power. Neither the admonitions of Cin- einnatt nor of Sumner aro heeded, and it Is re solved to destroy the organization to gratify mere personal government. I therefore with- draw from the delegation, and give you this timely notice to fill my place, I shall then be free to give my earnost support to Horace Greo- | ley. The Two Gra: —, -Ovinio Merchant [0 the Batitor of The Sun. Sin: There are two Gr+a@. Gen, Grant and President Grant. The rst deserves well of « Republicna his country. Tho second Grant does not deserve well of his country, but deserves to be allowed to go back to Galena and resume the tanning business. When Gan. Grant defeated Leo and closed the war, his friends, about one hundred of them, here in New York subscribed one thousand dollars each, making $100,000, and gave him. My partner and myself gave $1,000. Not long after we recelved & photograph of him, all nicely framed. We cast lots for it and it fell to me. Isent it tomy country house and had it hung up in the hall, There it hung until President Grant ordered that Charles Sumner should be deposed from his post as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations and Simon Cameron put in his place. Then I concludes that two things would surely happen: 1. We should be humillateu aad disgraced az 3 nation before England—which has happened. 2. That the retgn of corruption inthe admin- {stration of public affairs would go on and great- ly Increase, and that men like Moses H. Grinnell Would have to clear o This result has also been sadly realized. Therefore, the very day I heard Mr. Sumner had been put out of his chalrmanship I sent to my farmer in Vormont, and directed him to take said likeness of President Grant out of the hall and place It in the woodhouse chamber in a dark corner, face to the wall. There it is now, and has been ever since. Now any man, hich or low, who votes for Grant for President for a second term has two sits OMT NOUT=Aw justites Gur humiliation nd, and he approves the frauds already proven to have been committed.

Nothing more was beard of him until the break- ing out of the war, at which time he was engaged in the dry goods business in Charleston, 8. 0. He was said to have been the last Northern man to leave that city, and on his arrival here was lionized by his old friends and others, who lauded him for his heroism in remaining 80 long in the hotbed of secession. Courted and made the recipient of many handsome Presents, he soon began to feel that he had rendered himself famous enough to aspire to the hand of one Mary K. Bird, who. it was said, had inherited a large fortune. Lagrave married her and took upon himself the management of her estate, but being used to a more active life ho, with a Mr. fecrke Dickerson, engaged in the hat and cap business, and opened a handsome store on Broad= way.

He isfar from good-looking, and tho natural plainnoss of his features is heightened by some ugly blotches.

The term “ Uncle" was famitiarl applied to Grace by all the neighbors, on account his age and bachelor life. THE YOUNG GIRL'S NATURAL OBJECTIONS. One April morning Julia ran to the house of a female friend and said, with tears, * My mother has been talking with me about marrying Unele ‘Tom, and you know I don't want that old man, for if Lmarry him I should have to love him & litle, and I never could do that; no, I never id.” After thinking awhile, Julia added that she didn't know but she would marry Uncle Tom, if he would give hor father a clear deed of the red house, Meantiine, Uncle Tom was uaremtttiog ta his tons.

Julia says that ‘Tom being the oldest, she lot him fix the day for the wedding. She told him he could set the day one year, ten years, or fifty years. A PRINCELY WEDDING OUTFIT. Uncle Grace fixed the Fourth of July 1870, and gaye her $15 to get a wedaing outiit, As the weathor grew warmer the d fendant's ardor began to cool.

The offer was declined, and a suit begun, which resulted in a verdict of $3,000 for the plaintiff, Grace's attorney claimed a second trial, under the Rhode Island statute, and the second trial resulted ina verdict for the plaintiff for $15,100. tho cetetrce-was-crat ene: pearerti.e- nerd other members of Horatio Vallet's family had con- spired to defraud the defendant. — A FOURTH WARD TRAGEDY. —— A Water Street Desperado Sta —A Wife's Escape, wales Lath Roosevelt and Water stroots Vat nian ging at told him that aman was murdering his wife in eaFret ofa tory Ceweittent at: uty Viator street.
