rYhat is Neccss-rr if We onl Carrr
Philadelphia Next ear.
The republican party In the city of Phila
delphia is to day in the opposition, and the
Btrnggl next year is for us to regain the
ascendancy which we have lost. In the tactics
Which are necessary to fight a battle in the
minority, much greater care is required thau
trhen we act only on the defensive. It is
jiecessary that every force should be exerted,
that every engine which argument or energy
can bring to bear should be used. If we
would succeed, there must be left no stone
nnturned, to use a trite simile, In our efforts
to win. The errors which might have been
passed silently by when we were certain of
success, aud struggled only for a large
majority, now become obstacles which
must be removed. If, under such circum
stance, that portion of the party which should
be the head and the good right arm has
proved itself both powerless and imbecile, it
is unnecessary for us to say that its re-
j moval is of the most vital consequent
I to secure victory. The Republican party,
with all its offices, all Its prestige,
Kll its patronage and majority, was changed
from the administration to the opposition by
th weakness and worthlessness of its City
Executive Committee and their nominees.
Possession, which is nine-tenth3 of the influ
ence necessary to success, was crippled and
J-endered inoperative by these men, who have
assumed the self-appointed offiae of managing
the party. Corruption and incompetency lost
fig the day, and if we would retrieve the dis
aster we must cast forth all who have proved
themselves possessed of either one or the
other of these qualities. The first step in the
Way to regain our losses is to change the
party managers. The present City Executive
Committee is utterly unfitted for the task of
managing our party. It has lost the confi
dence of the party. It has lost the confidence
Of those who supply the money to carry on a
campaign. If they are retained, the gentle
men of the party will refuse to work with
them. If they are retained, the newspapers of
the party will refuse to work in their behalf.
They cannot, after the exhibition of the
last election, gaiu that support whioh is the
great essential to such a committee; and it is,
therefore, absolutely necessary that they be all
Superseded by men who come fresh from the
Tanks. The old political hacks have lost us
the oity. We can do no worse by taking new
men, and new men we must and will have.
The immense influence for good or evil which
Such a central committee can exert is proved
by the wonderful power of the Democratic
committee during 'the last campaign. There
was no laggard allowed in the counolls of our
opponents. Secret circulars, personal canvass
iDg, and systematic work was the order of
the day. While - our leaders were sitting on
Chesnut street, waiting with supine careless
ness for the victory to fall into their hands,
the enemy were at work. They threw their
lnfluenoe in favor of good nominees. They did
not nominate each other and act as a clique.
They took the best available men. And it was
to their activity and the mismanagement of our
own committee that we' are indebted for the
loss of the city and State. This evil must be
remedied if we would suoceed next year.
Having secured a live City Exe
cutive Committee, composed of the best" men
of the party, there only remains for us to
nominate good men, and the victory is our
own. A majority of the voters of Philadel
phia are still with us, bat they are not will
ing to accept a mandate from a "ring" which
l)uys up nominations. If we would have the
people with us, we must let the people make
the nominations. In the selection of candi
dates, and in the support which we as jour
nalists shall give them, we lay down one
fcroad rule: Every man who holds or has held
tjjl'ce must give way to new men. This may
exclude certain good officers. It doubtless will.
But the end to be accomplished is sufficiently
important to warrant such an exclusion.
Besides, it does no injustice. These gentle
Jnfn, while there are so many worthy
men in the party who have never
&al office, cannot oertainly demand
tfith juslioe a retention for more than one
lei ni. They have no right to even that. If is
lifjvor accorded; and when there is such a
lio.-'. of competitors, it is only proper that the
Dili -a should be distributed among them all,
jyUU some attempt at equality, and not man
age Us a monopoly. We therefore desire to
$e- now men nominated for all the offices; and
yill not pledge our support after nomination,
and certainly will not give our support before,
to ajy who are mixed up with the "rings" or
''Sta'n House Row." Some such renovation is
absolutely necessary to success. We ex
lians.jd our Bpaoe and time in attempting to
Jai" up a load, last October, which would
liavf uunk any party in the world. We do
not intend to do so again. A dead-weight is
jiot ft cheerful or comfortable burden;
mid if the party leaders see fit to
Hour.', .te such unworthy candidates,
or eppoint such unworthy committees,
they cannot expect that the papers of the
party wilj do all the work, when they do
nothing but Impose the burden. If a new
pet of men, pure, well known, men of means
au I probity, are nominated, the party will
ruoceed, and all the aid which can be given by
pa will be most willingly accorded. Unle$3
THE DAIIA KVEKlNG TELEGRAM! PniLADELTglA, SATURDAY,
tuch men are nominated, defeat is certain.
We therefore, speaking for the people
and the principles of the Republican party, say
to those who now hold office and leadership:
"Stand aside; you hare proved yourself
unable to carry the city. (Jive way to new
men, and see if principles and purity are net
more efficient than chioanory I" Such is the
universal sentiment of those who are the
pillars, financially and personally, of the Re
publican party, and the "ring" dare not ven
ture to let these words pass by unheeded. If
we do but learn wisdom from the past, our
defeat will be a blessing. It we do not, a suc
cession of defeats await tis.
t
Payment of the National Debt.
A Bobtonian has undertaken to show that the
Rational debt can be paid by the close of the
present century, and that without seriously
inconveniencing the people. Our total debt,
including currency, is less than $2,500,000,000.
An estimate of the present population of ' the
country places it at 3G,000,000, which would
give a per capita share of only $09-50, with an
annual charge of $4 17 for the interest on the
whole, at 6 per cent. During the deoade from
1850 to 18G0, the annual increase of the wealth
of New York and Ohio was 6 per cent.; and
if the same proportionate increase continues
during the present decade, this increase in
these two States alone will be sufficient in
amount by 1870, not only to cancel the entire
debt, but to leave a surplus of $300,000,000.
But the increase in the noneeceding States
during the period from 1850 toJ8G0 was even
greater, being 8J per cent, per annum. At
the same rate, the increase from I860 to 1867
inclusive, would amount to $10,087,000,000, or
more than four times the debt. Reducing the
rate of increase to 4 per cent., to provide for
all reasonable contingencies, and it would
amount, during the eight years which have
elapsed sinoe 1860, to $4,038,000,000, leaving
a surplus of $1,500,000,000 after the payment
of the debt. The enthusiastic mathematician
of the "Hub" continues:
"The gain in property of the nou-sf ceding
States from 18i0 to 1800 was rather over 120 per
cent. Kstiraallng the tulure decennial increase
at only one-half this average, or 63 per cent.,
probably far below what will provo the actual
result., and leaving out entirely the seceding
States, the valuation of the loyal States In the
year 1U00 will be 877,300,000,000 of dollars, a sum
of which, the present dtbl Is less lhau three per
cent." '
Tho Progress of the Uroad Street Hill.
Through a mistake in the reports of the pro
ceedings of Councils yesterday, we neglected
to give the proper credit for moving a recon
sideration of the vote on the Broad Street bill
to the gentlemen who have been most instru
mental in securing that movement. It was
Mr. A. Wilson Uenszey who made the motion,
and it was seoonded by Mr. William E. Little
ton. These gentlemen well deserve the sincere
thanks of the great mass of our citizens for
their advocacy of the popular cause in oppo
sition to the contractors. They worked with
zeal to accomplish the end, and to them must
be attributed most of the success.
When the question comes up in Seleot
Council on Wednesday next, we have no doubt
but that the bill will pass over the veto by a
handsome majority. The cause is so intrinsi
cally excellent, and the arguments and merits
all on one side, that we do not see how the
representatives of the people can fail to pass
the bill. We are well assured thatihe neces
sary two-thirds vote will be secured, as the
members, who represent the masses, while
they may sometimes err in judgment, rarely
deliberately act in opposition to the deolared
wishes of all their constituents.

SEVEH-THIRTY COUHTERFEITERsIrRES IED.
Important Dlscoverlea of the United.
States Detcctlves-Over a Million of
Dollars Realized from tho Disposal of
tho Bogus Bonds Nino of tho Alleged
Operators In Custody.
It was recently stated la the Herald that
arrests had been made by the United Stales
Government olllclals which were of an exceed
ingly Important character, but the purlieulars
of the affair were for various good reasons
withheld. It can now be salely stated that
the counterleiters of seven-thirties and five
twenties who have caused trouble through
out the country are now in custody. Since
the counterfeiters weie discovered at Washing
ton, Mr. William P. Wood,, chief of the
secret service division of tbe Treasury Depart
ment, has been ao lively engaged with his sub
ordinates la endeavoring to apprehend tne
counterleiters. His attention had been called,
previous to the disoovery named, to counterfeit
issues of $100 compound interest notes, and 860
legal-tenders. After weeks of persistent aud
earnest labor, In which he was assisted by
United Mates Detective Nettleshlp, residing la
Newark, he was enabled to trhce-the authors of
the latter counterfeit to the small village of
Paulsboro, Gloucester county. New Jersey, and
subsequently ascertained that the work
of engraving and circulating tbe legal
tenders was doue at that village, as is
alleged by William Spencer, alias William
E. Brockaway, and seven confederates. He then
proceeded to gather sufficient evidence, with a
view to fasten the guilt without doubt upon
the parlies named, and while engaged In this
latter work, he discovered theoounterfeltseven
thirties and tlve-tweulle-), and compared the
work upou the fradulent bonds with that of the
other counterfeits, and became satis tied that
both counterieits were the work of the same
artist. Acting upon this theory, he went
quietly to work to fasten the crime upon the
suspected parlies. Having thus been fortified
by evidenee sufficient to corroborate the a I le-
fatioDB, Mr. Wood made affidavit on the 19th
nstant, before U. S. Commissioner' Whitehead,
at Newark, against William Spencer, and Han
nah, his reputed wife, alleging that they were
the principals la the extensive frauds upon tbe
Government, and that they had been assisted
byflveotner persons whose names are with
held. Warrants were at once issued for the
arrest of Spencer and his wife, who were found
by the.offiuers of the law at St. James' Hotel,
in New York on Friday, Nov. 15, where they
were preparing to leave for Europe. They were
taken to Jersey City and placed in a room in
Taylor's Hotel, at that place, where they were
guarded, the authorities uot being able to make
t ne examination in me case at mat time, un
Tuesday morning last they were taaten to
Newark, before United States Commissioner
Whitehead, and balled lu tbe sum of if 10. 000 to
appear for an examination during next week.
The woman had the amount mimed on her
person and readilyprodaced it as ball.
The Paulsboro establishment was In opera
tion as long ago as July, 1805, and It is estimated
that tbe parties engaged in the business have
netted upwards of oue million dollars. Tbe
spurious issues of the notes and bonds were
made from a lead Impression of the genuine
plates at Washington, secured by a contederata
of the counterfeiters, aod tne several branohes
of the t ransfer work were also the work of con
federates. All Ihe partita engaged in the coun
terfeiting have become wealthy, as a matter of
course, aud now reside In different parts of the
counlry. Government officers have been de
s patched to arrest them, aud It la probable that
l Ley are now all In custody,- Spencer Is the
owner of a magnlfloent residence in Philadel
phia, and is said to be worth at least $200,0 jO.
When taken before the United States Commis
sioner al Newark be and his wife were fashion
ably dressed, aocompanled by a colored nurse,
who bore In her arms an Infant child of oue of
the alleged counterfeiters. The appearance of
tnn man and woman wai very respectable.
Spencer is a tall, Intelligent, and gentlemanly
looull'K iwtiu, uiu u nriie, iu jj)ourucB, very
ladyline.
The Government officials are now engaged
In searching for the presses, etc., upou which,
ihaunrk nai executed, and tbe probabilities
are that they will be found, to-day or lo-mor.
row. There are still many Items of Interest
connected with this crime whioh aro withheld
and which will astonish the publlo.
Spencer when arrested maintained great
oouiposure, aud not a sign of guilt manifested
lUeir. 'Wbeu taken before the Commissioner
lie appeared uot In the least excited or dlsoon
certed, and coolly took from his pocket a small
comb, with which be proceeded to comb his
whiskers and hair. Alter brushing the dust
from his coat and arranging his ntoktie, ho
sealed himself Inaohalr and patiently walled
for further proceeding.
To one not familiar with the surronndin
circumstances, he would have appeared to be a
retired Broadway merchant. He was not, how
ever, nnprepared for the difficulty In whioh bo
found himself, for he was aooompanled br his
counsel, Judge Stowart, of New York, and lm
roedlatelT upon arriving at Newark he sum
moned William B. Guild, Ksq., of that city, to
bis presence, and after a short conversation
retained his legal servioes la behalf of himself
and wife.
In addition to the above.it Is stated that
about two years ago Spencer resided in a hous )
at Paulsboro, adjoining tbe resldenoe of oru
Charles Adams, nllus Laodou Moore, who wm
arrested, charged with robbing a bank at Coa
cord, Mass.
It is propnblo that more light will be shed
upon this prodigious scheme of the oouotnr
felters during the next week, IV. y. Herald of

The Park Case.
Tbe law of Pennsylvania requires Hint a rosd Jury
shall make a report of their proceedings in the term '
ioIIovidk their appolutment; aud ibis court, In one
catie, decided that a (aiiure to do so made null aud
void all the labors ol the Jury. Al that time tbe terms
of the court were of two tuoutlis lensclh, but now, by a
rect in act of Assembly, they are only monthly.
The new Jury appointed to assess tne dum acres of
properly holders Iroiu the appropriations made for
the extension ot t'atrmount Park, have not as yet
made a report, and the City Hulleitor, to avoid the
selling aside ot tbe labor or the )ury, this morning
made a inollou for a rule t- show cause why the re
port of the Jury should not be filed nunc pro tunc.
bome of the counsel representing property owners
were in favor of making this rule absolute. But
others opposed It, and argued that It was the duly of
the Court to annul all the proceedings ot this Jnry,
and to allow to each particular cialmunt to apply for
a separate Jury, under the geueral road law of the
Male, and the decision of this Court in tbe Spring
(jarnon case.
Juoge Allison, after hearing both sides, and many
counsel, said the Chy Hollclior might consider his
motion made and overruled.
