The Appf- Ali believes that the country at ,at r0e has at last determined that the lia a for this to end has come, and that It la the duty and the right of the south to throw eff the yoke of political and sectional subordi nation, and assert the position she Is en iit'eJ to In the conventions of the two great parties, to either of whom politic 1 supremacy may fall as a result of well direc'.eJ labor, a sound and sensible platform, and the nomination of a nun who represents, not 1m mere promisep, but la hia public acts and general comse Zn life the refcrnm, the retrenchment, the economy, and the high sense of jus tice which fchall encourage all good men throughout the whole QLion to believe that his recommendations for legisla tion will embraco primarily, reduction of .public burdens and exemption from the Jiaraismenta, annoyances and oppres sions of an odious Federal tax system. And here let U3 emphasize: We say the whole Union besaina wo are not sec ional, because the south has ceased to ba sectional, and beinne we sincerely and honestly dssire, above all things -else, the prosperity, the advancement, Jiad the piaco of the Union so necessary tie welfare of the States. We eay the who's Union, because we know frcm experience that with a majority of the psoplo of our country the Union Is first, is paramount; and because we are able to say, fpeakingfor the people of the ssuth, that the question of secession is absolutely and unquestionably settled f jrever, and that all the issues which in 1860 divided the Dsmccratio from the .Republican party are folded up and laid away forever, Jnever again to beome a disturbing cus3 cf the inter-State comity and good-will so essen tial to public peace and public pros perity. Having in view, then, the whole Union, mlnd'ul of our obligations to it, and desirous of securing a man who possesses the qualifications we have named, and speaking not merely to the Democracy of Tennessee, but to that of the adjoining States, whose local causes we have mads our own, whose battles we have f ujht, and whese burdens we have borne uncomplainingly, we present the name of Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, for President, as that of a man whose life is a guarantee of psrsonal honesty, of retrenchment, of re form and of justice; whose ca reer is that of a statesman character Izid by sagacity, by enlightened poli cies, tempered by tho spirit and move ment of tho age, and an unconquerable aversion and detestation of the cliqu iam and ringlsm which have been the bane and curse of the public life of the past sixteen years. Possessing the con fidence of the large and influentlsl ele ment In New York which holds itself Independent of party control, and hav ing the unanimous Indorsement of the party of which he has so long been a Jevler, we fed that wa can confidently invite to hia support the D3mocracy of Tennessee, of Arkansas of Mississippi and of Alabama, indeed of all the States of the scu'.h. Entering upon the can vass for governor of the first State in the Union in point of wealth, commer cial activity, Internal oommerce and political inllaenc?, at a time when the Democratic parly was under the ban by reason of the Infamies and crimes of Tweed, he overcame, by the sheer weight of his name and character, and as a result of a Ufa well spent, all the opposition?, defeating a former Dam- ocra'.an able statesman and pure citizen, and recovering for his party tho prestige of which it had been roobed by the band of thieves whom Tweed bossed, being fleeted by a plurality of 53,315 over General John A. Dix, who had been elected two years previous by a plurality of 53.451. Taking his place as governor of New York a place, let us say, only secoiJ to that of President he pro mulgated, In a message rsmaikable for conciseness and preclelon of statement, tho poller he deemed most conducive to the public welfare, and which, briefly seated, are, administrative reform, econ omy in titate and national ailalrs, and the restoration of the old-time financial policy which left the republic without debt and" a credit that was untainted and utstainod. Not satltfie J with prom ising, he performed. In the faca of a legislature many of the most influential membars of which wero also members of the rotten and corrupt canal ring, he commenced hia reforms by at tacking and destroying if, making an exposure of private and offi cial peculation tbnt is only exceeded by that of which President Grnnt'd Immediate eupporttra and personal cron ies have been convicted. But this did not content him. He went fnrther. lis secured a raduciion of ;ho Stats tax from sixteen million dolla-s to eight million hilars, remitting to the city ' & tw Ycrk alono four million dollars of annual taxes. Striking with a bold, firm and resolute hand at tho basis of orruptlon and robbery, clearing, so to speak, the Augean etab'o of the thieves who had littered It with crime,hecontin- usd his labors with unremitting interest Inbebalf of the people until hs reduced, as wo have Bald, their tax burdens one half; reduied the tolls on the Erie canal (an immense gain for the northwest), and provided for Ihe permanent Improvement of that great highway of commerce a highway only second in paint cf national importance to the grand old father of waters who sweeps past our doois, bearing upon his bosom over one-half the internal com merce of the Mississippi valley. A policy so plaluly honest, and so fruitful of economic results, could not fail of effect with the people of New York. We do not wonder, therefore, that in 1875 the Democratic ttcket for State officers was elected by a majority of twenty thou sandjSignifying the continued confidence of the intelligent citicsns who in the Empire State have upheld the Demo cratic party. This indorsement, fairly oarned, is the foundation upon which his friends rest Governor Tildon'd pre eminent fitness for the Presidency. They (and we count ouraolV33 amocg the number) think that a man who has thus forced reform, who has reduced by one-half the rate of taxation fixed by tho Republican party, who compelled admin istrative reform, who has convicted and punished partisan thieves, and who ha3 shown himself possessed of the firmness of Jackson, the sagacity of Van Buren and the solid attainments of Marcy, who combines all the qualifications of the highest order of statesmanship as our republican system of government has developed statesmanship, and who in these respects is above any of his cotemporarles or party competitors, la most worthy to bacome the standard- bearer of Democracy in the great contest of November next. We feel that he is the only Democratic loader who can point to bis official life as carrying as surances suoh as the intelligent Repub licans of New York and other States de mand but cannot receive from thoir own fold; that he is the only Damocrat who can point to tho successlul prosecu tion of public plunderers, to a reduction of State taxe3 one-half, to the enforce ment of administrative reform, and who has the hardihood to plant hlmeelf squarely and wlthoutreserve upon those solid and enduring financial policies, the strength of which was tested ere the republic had more than passed the first half century of its growth. We present him as ihe embodiment of civil service reform, retrenchment, economy, and hard money, the now controlling and pressing needs of the country. As Mon'gimery Blair well said, he is tho only arrow in the Democratic quiver. " He is not merely a passive friend of "reform; ho has successfully fought Its " fight; he had the baptism of fire and " blood; he has behind him a State po3 " sessing an eighth of the population of " the whole Union, and more than half " Its wealth; a stainless reputation, un- " surpassed experience as a statesman, the record of a life largely devoted to " the unsalaried service of tins public, " compromised neither by greed of office " nor abuse of power." This gentleman, thm gifted above and beyond all the statesmen of whom the Democratic party has reason to be proud, without a peer in the Republican party among all who offer for the -Presidency, we respect fully offer to the press and peoplo of the eoatb, and urge him as the one who combines all the qualities we most ad mire, and all the guarantees for good, honest and economlo government which the people demand at this juncture and crisis in national affilrs. Wo present him as the best representative cf political security and repos?, of internal peace and national progress, the veiy expression of all we aspire to as a peo ple through Federal legislation and na tional growth. We present him with confidence, supported, as we have reason to believe, by the Democracy of our city and county, by that of our State, and, as we hope, by all the Democrats of all the States for whom the Appeal has spoken and will con tinue to speak officially. We present him as our candidate for the Presidency, as, we believe, the one man most wor thy the suffrages of the south and of the Democratic party of the Union. English VedestrlanUm Extraordinary.

Rain has oeea inning steadily since last nlgnt, with no prosnect of a sneodv cessation. Somo fosr is felt of serioua interference itn tuo opening ceremonies of tne great exposition to-morrow. The rain, however, does not Interfere with the dis play of b'inting, which is profuse throughout tLe city. There is a great influx of visitors, and throngs of stran gers are on tho streets. The attendance at tho Centennial grounds to morrow promises to be very large, and to repre sent a larg$ prcportioa of tho nationali ties of the world. Among the distin guished visitors arriving to-day are President Grant and wife, guests of Mr. G. W.

Ail are accompanied by theit wives, and are entertained as guests by various prominent citizens. The arrangements for to-morrow's exercises are in a favor able slate of advancement, exhibi tion matters bsing much nearer com p'et'ou than there was ground to antici pate. Some of the departments aro in complete readiness; others are near ly so, and there sro but few which are not in some cons.derablo degree ready for visitors. Still much will remain to be done after to-morrow before all the details are arranged. Special pa'ace trains will be run into the city this after noon by the Pennsylvania railroad com pany from Washington, bringing hither tho members of congre33 to bs present at to-morrow's ceremonies. The gates of the grounds will be open to-morrow morning at nine o'clock.

On my ar rival in Piiilailelphia from Washington, I was surprised to find so great an im provement in the atmosphere; it is purer and mora Invigorating hero. My friend said it was because there is no congress in rmladeipnia, but mere may be an additional reason: there are noNicolson pavements in thi3 city to absoib water and emit malaria, and Boss Shepherd has not been here with a government ap- Eropnation ot tnirty million dollars to uild noxious and inoperative seweis; but, above all, the natural situation of Philadelphia is sanitarily superior to that of Washington. If tho Father of his Country selected the seat of govern ment with a desire to kill olf politicians. he made an excellent selection, and his panegyiidts have failed to give him glory for his noblest work; be could hardly have found another location on the continent that combines so many unwholesome advantages. Here the young girls have brighter complexions, and the young men have not that hang dox, hackneyed gait and mien peculiar to Washington adolescence. Perha s it is becsme they are not government clerks, and do not live in eternal trepi dation of losa of office. I propose to writs a series of letters from this city during tho Centennial ex position. A distinguished author has said that a&yone who will only writs what he sees and bean with veracity, will blunder into writing a good book. I hopo to blunder into writing a readable letter by this rule. I shall not write in the interest of the exposition or tho ex hibitors, but I hope to write letters that contain useful and interesting informa tion to those of your readers who will not, and bo helpful to thoso who will como to the great show. To those who propose to spend less than two months in Philadelphia, I would earnestly say, do not come now. Tho exhibition will be inaugurated with much ceremony on the tenth of this month, and the hotel-keepers are very anxious to see you, but everything is iu a very immature state ot advancement. At present there is one of the greatest exhibitions of scaffolding, boxes, lum ber and dust that the world has ever seen. At many points cosmos is ritiug out of chaos, tut not for two or three months yet will tbe panorama reach its climacteric of beamy and order. For those who can come but onco and spend only a limited time here, it will be found mucn better to aeier me visii unin (Sep tember or October, or at least until Au gust. By that time hotel and boarding housekeepers will have learned that all the world and the rest of mankind are not tributary to their pockets. Better accommodations will be obtained at more reasonable price?, and the exposi tion will be seen to the very best ad vantage. Of course everybody here is expecting the city to fill up immediately, and the honest old (Quaker-spiders that have spread their ne's for flies, are almost in numerable. I interviewed two or three hotel-keepers yesterday, by asking them what they would charge me for two rooms and board; I found that the nrices range from eight to twelve dollars per day. I explained that I wanted the rooms during the entire t:rm of the ex position, but they would not submit to any reuuuuou oi price, tayiugiiiut were was every probability that tney would not have a vacant room, and that they would be compelled to turn away many whom they would be unable to accom modate. I told them that I thought they were mistaken; that there was an impression extant that hotel accommo dations could be had only at exorbitant price?, and that this impression would prevent many from coming to Philadel phia, while it would cau-o others to seek cboapsr quarters In the cooler and ploaan:er surrounding villages. Yesterday, while looking for an office, I came io a second-story door iu the building corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets, bearing, in large gilt letters the legend:) "Keely'a moitor." I entered and tound a very handsome room, occupied by a very handsome and, as I afterward found, a very In telligent agent. Upon learning tbe ob ject of my visit, ho informed me that be could communicate nothing concerning the motor to the press; that they were compelled to keep tbe entire matter in the strictest eecrecy, Inasmuch as Mr. Keely had not yet perfected his plan to n point that would enable him to secure a patent covering the whole of his dis covery, and since the publicity already given to tho matter had sent hundreds of scientific de tectives on the search of the wonderful secret. Ho further said, as did also Mr. Keely's attorney, who camo in while we were talking, that in all proba- uiuiy in me course oi a; montb the world te ringing with praise oi the wonderful discovery that would make fsteam and electricity appear as hackneyed tcbemes. It was impossi ble, listening to these gentlemen, not to become impressed .with their intelli gence, earnestness and apparent sin cerity. They showed me large bars of iron that bad bsen literally pulled apart, aud broken or crushed, by a force de veloped by this machine, which they aezured me was four thousand pounds to the square inch over that cf gunpowder. They said that the only thing now that delayed the utilization of tho discovery was the difficulty found in procuring any substance that would withstand the terrific force of the vapor which caused water to percolate the most sclid substances. I came away with the Impression that if the Kesiy motor was a hcax and a sell, it was certainly well managed and wdl sustained. I have purposely refrained, in this let ter, from saying much about the exposi tion, for the simple reason that it is in a too chaotic state for any description; there will be time enough for this dur ing the six months that I propose to re main here. In my next letter, I will tell you all about tho gand opening ceremonies, which will take place on tho tenth instant; till then, au revoirl WIiitticr'8 Centennial Hymn. Philadelphia Times. Oar Father' God ! from out whose hand The centuries fall like grains of sand, We meet to-day, united, free, And loyal to our land and Thee, We thank Thee for the era done, And trust Thee for the openlDg one.

B;shop Harris announced a commit tee on the propriety of publishing the catechism in Norwegian. J. B. Weaver, of Iowa, said it was publicly charged yesterday that a large amouut of money had been stolen from the fund of the church, and asked leave to cfldr resolutions providing for a com mittee of investigation. Laid on the table. Br. J. H. Newman submitted the fol lowing: Whereas, Provision is made in the constitution of tbe church for a three fourths vote of the annual conference on all alterations of restrictive rules; and, whereas, delegates of the lay electoral conferences have a right to participate in a two-thirds vote of the geueral con ference, but have no right to participate in a three-fourths vote of the annual conference; and, whereas, such partici pation would harmonize with the con stitutional rights of lay delegates in this body, therefore Eesolved, That the committee on lay delegation shall consider aud report on the propriety of so amending the consti tution of the church wherebyduly elect ed delegates may vote in lay electoral coherences on all proposed alterations of tbe restrictive rules. Referred to tho committee on lay repr8intation. J. S. Smart, of Detroit, submitted a resolution that all papers in reference to tho organization of separate conferences for whites and blacks bs returned to the conference from the committco on boundaries, aud referred to the commit tee on the state of the church. The ac tion of the committee on boundaries was final, and giving the matter to the com mittee on the state of the church would bring it under the supervision of the con ference. After disjussion, the resolution was adopted. The fraternal delegates from tho Brit ish Wesleyan church took formal leave of the conference. Rev. Mr. Rigg, in his address, said he was aware of the difficulty here on the question of education. In England they were divided on many things, but by a large majority they were agreed on the point that there was no law of the land which prohibits the use of the scrip'ures in the schools of the land. Applause. The common schools bad their origin in christian energy. He then presented tho addiess of tho Wesleyan society for securing a repeal of the contagious diseases ac, which was referred to a special committea of seven, to be appointed. The fraternal delegates from Canada wero received, and a communication from fraternal delegates from the Meth odist Episcopal cburcb, south, announc ing their readiness to appear before tbe conference v as aiao receiveu. A com mittee was appointed to arrange com memorative service of the conference held in Baltimore, May 21st, one hun dred years ago. Adjourned. The Independent Convention. Indianapolis, May 9.

The water-Jlne is now within about nine feet of the flood-mark of 1844, aud higher than any other time since 1857. All the cellars on Front street, in the bu'iness part of the city, are flooded with water, and the water has reached the curbstone in the lowest places. All tho lowland in tho upper part of the city occupied by lumbermen, stock-yards, etc., are submerged, and considerable damage hsS been done on the lowlands. The southern part of the city is also in undated, but the damage in that local ity Is not material yet. The railroad track alone the leve3 is submerged in places, and the trains of the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern road are ob liged to stay at the North Market street depot, Instead of coming down to the Biddle street depot. Several lailroads entering this city, especially those run ning east and north, were more or less injured by the late storms; but all have large gangs actively at work repairing damages, and detentiors are slight and only temporary.

There is a feverish condition of the at mosphere to-night that justifies the serious view of the situation expressed by tne governor, anu, accordingly, while the force hero has proved suffi cient for past emergencies, the adjutant general bes summoned the following compan'e', both of which are expected to arrive to-nignt: ibeaauausKy .Light Guards, Captain H.

Tbe magazine on Jersey City higbts which exploded Saturday night contained about three hundred barrels of rend-rock powder and seven kegs of common blasting powder. Twelve or thirteen tunnel men wera seen to come irom ine uirec tion of Hoboken and go up the hundred steps. After they reached the top of the bin the report oi a pistol was beard, ana soon sfter the explosion occurred. The iron door of the magazine was found two miles distant yesterday. In relation to tbe terriblo car accident at the same place Isst night, the engineers' theory is that the explosion of Saturday night caused a disarrangement of the battery, and the jar of the car being driven on tbo platform caused a vibration of tbe v.ire and rang the alarm.

Full Particulars of the Butchery of the Germaii and Italian Consuls by a Jlohauimcdan Mob. The Urcat Powere Determined upon n Conference on Turkish Affairs -Uic "Sick Man's" End Approaching. Pabis, May 9 From details of the outrage at Salonlca, it appears that the United States consul interfered for the protection of the Greek girl, and con ducted her to the consulate In a car riage. An excited mob thereupon sur rounded the consulate, and the French aud German consuls, who were brothers-in-law and ,related by marriage to the American consul, believing him to be in danger, proceeded to his assistance, and on the way were attacked. The Italian consul informed tbe governor of the state of affairs, and be sent troops to the relief of the American consulate, whichwaa besieged by the rabble. London, May 9 Tbe Standard's correspondent at Berlin says it is gen erally thought here that the Salonica affair will prove fatal to Turkey. The Interference of the European powers for tbe benefit of the christians is now con sidered unavoidable, as it is evident tbat tho Porte Is powerless to protect them against the outbreaks of fanaticism. A special from Athens to the Times reports that the Bulgarian insurrection near Phillipolis threatens to bacome se rious. The Porte is greatly alarmed, and is sending forward all its disposable force by daily and nightly trains on the Adrianople railway. Tho movement has been long preconcerted by the Serv ian agitators. At first it was considered unimportant, but it has spread rapidly, and the numbers of the insurgents nre variously estimated at from one thou sand to ten thousand. The Porte has informed foreign ambassadors that it has resolved to raise the duties on im ports twenty per cent. London, May S. The Porte has sent the following account of the disturb ances In Salonica to tbe Ottoman am bassador at London: "The convert to Mohammedanism arrived at Salonica by railway. The Mohammedans pro ceeded to conduct her, according to cus tom, to the residence of the governor general, when about one hundred and fifty persons, whom the consul of the United States had assembled, rushed at the convert tore off her vail and man tle, and carried her by force to tbe house of a christen. The excited Mus sulmans proceeded to the governor's residence and insisted that tho convert should be brought thither. The govern or, hearing that the French and Ger man consuls had entered the mosque, which was invaded by a crowd, went there to induce the consuls to withdraw, to calm the people. All bis efforts were useless. The populace wrenched the bars from tbe grating, fell upon the con suls and struck them down, in spite of the desperate efforta of the governor to shield them with his own person. The troops ultimately dispersed tho people. The governor of Salonica telegraphs tbat order has bean restored and tbe guilty parties arrested." London, May 9. A Paris dispatch to the Times says that tho reports of the outrage at Salonica received there repre sent that the French and German oon Etils wero dragged from the street into the moifjue and there sabred. Tbe gov ernor arrived at tho moqu9 after the murders bad beeu completed. The Times Paris correspondent says that the project of a general diplomatic conference on Turkish affairs begins to be seriously entei tained. A Vienna diaps. tab reports that the Turkish ambassador at Berlin has been instructed to consent to a mixed foreign commission of superintendence for Bos nia. A dispatch to tbe Times from Berlin say a tbat a reorganization of the Austrian cavalry has been ordered, "whereby the force is raised to sixty thousand, exclu sive of landwehr. London, May 9. A midnight dis patch from Constantinople asserts that the Bulgarian rioters fled to the moun tains, and cordons of troops have been established to prevent the movement from spreading. Advices received from Paris, however, represent that the pos tal and telegraphic communication be tween Constantinople and Spopbia are inte.rupted by the insurrection. Tele grams from Berlin state that tbe German corvette Medusa has been ordered to leave Mesina lor Sa lonica without delay. Russian and Austrian lneu-of-war have been ordered to Salonica in consequence of an urgent dispatch from Chancellor French, con sul at (Salonica. An additional French man-of-war has gone to Syia. where she awaits instructions. The British consul has ordered a man-of-war from Pirocus to come to Salonica immediately. Rome, May 9 SigJor Melagari, min ister of foreign affairs, informed the chamber of deputies to-day that the Italian consul at Salonica entreated the Turkish troops to quiet the turmoil, but they refused to move. THE JETTIES. Kmls Demands an OIHciiil Measurement nnI Report. New Orleans, May 9. Captain J. B. Eads to-day, by telegraph, rtquested the secretary of war to instruct General C. B. Comstock, of the United States engineer corps, now at Port Eads, to measure with him tbe depth of tbe channel between the jetties, and to fur nish to Captain Eids a certified state ment of the results. This is done to re fute the recent published statements of Major Howell, that there is only twelve feet in the channt 1. Major Howell's as sertion that tbe bar is reforming in front of tbe jetties Captain Eads also denies, and has requested tbe superintendent of the United States coast survey, to make a radial sounding, several mile.'! in ad vance of the jetties. Assistant Merin den has been instructed to perform that duty. DIAZ BYIIM3. Ills Days few nuil Full of Trouble Ills Itoml to Monterey n Hnrd ono to Travel Etc. New Orleans, May 9. The Galves ton News special from Rio Grande City, of the ninth, says: "Diaz, with h's artil lery and in'antry is returning to tMata moras, having foucd it impracticable to advance with his infantry owing to the scarcity of water. His command has suffered terribly from the fatigue and tnirst, many oi bis men perishing by the roadside. He has also lost a consid erable number by desertion. Ha leaves his cavalry between Cerralvo and Mon terey, where he will rejoin with rein forcements. Even with the cavalry his advance will be slow: waterlis to be had only at long intervals, and there is no forage in the couutry, the government force having gathered all they could find, and unless Diaz carries forage with him his animals will starve on tho wav. Diaz is still sanguine of success, and his future operations against Monterey will ba made entirely with cavalry. He has nau no bgnt, as was rumored.
