concerning these evidences of the soeial

rooploof that portion of .tho British domi
nions. Now, wo can imagine tho avidity
-ili uliirh tho hater of tho "low Link" would
fic'ro upon this report with the expecta
tion of finding in it ample justillca
iion for and proof of tho opinions
Vhich ho entertains and expresses concerning
the thriftlessness, the immorality, and the
Ignorance of this despised race. "Now wo
Lavo it I" such a one would exclaim in tho joy
of his heart. "Here are the figures, prepared
ty tho officers of the British Government,
According to law, and therefore unquestion
ably correct ! Now, let us see what sort of
jieople these wild Irishmen are at homo,whore
lhey are not elevated and refined by tho ex
ample and precept of a superior people; where
they are wholly tinder tho control of their
priests; and where they do not inhale tha
air of this blessed land of freedom I" Natu
rally, tho first page to which our anti-Irish
friend would turn would be that on which
v.as recorded the number of illegitimate
Jbirths. "An ignorant, degraded, reckloss,
and immoral people" and these aro tho epi
thets most in use among radical politicians
and clergymen in tho United States when
f-peaking of Irishmen will bo sure to caro
little for the sanctity of marriage and to give
full rein to their passion and lust. "Well, what
are the facts ? The proportion of illegitimate
births to the total number of births in Ire
land is 88 to each 1000. More than there
ought to be, of ccnirse; but in England en
ligntenod and Protestant England the pro
portion is 64 to each 1000; and in Scotland
liible-loving and God-fearing Scotland it is
V'J to each 1000! Here is a fearful disappoint
ment. The figures, according to all theidiis
and beliefs of those who sneer at tho "1
Irish," ought to be reversed; Scotland,
land of Knox and the stronghold of l're- y
lerianism, should be the most virtuous of tho
three kingdoms; England, the bulwark of the
Blessed Reformation, should not be far be
hind; and priest-ridden Ireland should, by all
the rules of logic, be steeped to the lips in
Vice. But these illogical figures will not
square with the theories, and persist in show
ing that England is nearly twice and Scotland
nearly three times as depraved in this matter
as Ireland.
But this is not the worst of it. There is
one portion of Ireland, the province of Con
naught, which is almost exclusively peopled
By Celts and Roman Catholics, the propor
tions being ninety-five of the former to five
of all other races and creeds; and there is
another portion, the province of Ulster, where
the population is about equally divided be
tween Protestants and Roman Catholics, the
Protestants being almost wholly of Scotch
Blood and of the Presbyterian faith. And in
the province of Connaught the proportion of
Ulecitimate birtns is only i'j in eacn won,
whUe in the province of Ulster it is 02 to each
1000. Scotland, as a whole, is almost three
times as immoral as Ireland, as a whole; but
the province in Ireland which has one-half
of its population people of Scotch blood is
more than turee times as immoral as tne ad
jacent province which is peopled almost
wholly by full-blooded Irishmen and blinded
Tavists. What has the Evangelical Alliance
in New York to say to this ? There is nothing
to show that all of tne illegitimate birtns in
Ulster are to be charged to the Scotch popula
tion of that district; for all that appears to
the contrary, the Irish half of the population
may be responsible for part of them; but may
it not be concluded that if a population hah
Irish and half Scotch, half Catholic and half
Protestant, is three times as immoral as one
which is almost wholly Irish and Catholic, the
Scotch are the most in fault, and that they
Lave probaUy led their Irish neighbors into
temptation ? And is not this conclusion
greatly strengthened by the fact that Scot
land, in which there is a very Bmall Irish
population, has three times as much wicked
ness of this nature as Ireland, in which there
is a very small Scotch population ?
At this stage of his investigations, our anti
Celtio friend would probably throw away the
Registrar's report in disgust; but, should he
do so, he would deprive himself of the conso
lation which he might derive from certain
tables which seem to show that, although the
Irish are twice as virtuous as the English, and
three times as virtuous us the Scotch, they
are twice as ignorant as the English and four
times as ignorant as the Scotch, and that
nearly one-hulf of the Irish in Ireland are so
sunken in darkness that they are unable to
write their own names. It seems that 100 in
every 2.VJ of the Irish bridegrooms, and 100
in every 101) of the Irish brides, sign the mar
riage register with a mark, as being un
nble to write their names; while in
England the proportion is 100 in 413
of the men and 100 in !50'J of the
women, and in Scotland only 100 in 872
iales and 100 in 4 l'J females. This seems
nil the more inexplicable since, for the last
twenty-five years, Ireland has enjoyed a much
Letter and more general supply of the means
of education than England, and almost as
good as that of Scotland. It has been in
geniously suggested that this apparent pre
valence of ignorance among the Irish is more
apparent than real, and that Paddy and
Undget abstained from signing their names,
not because they could not, but because they
Would not, by reason of a certain superstition
which exists among then, and which leads
them to "attach some sort of dread signifi
cance to the signing of their names, and to
Imagine that there is greater caution and
prudence in only making their mark." There
may be something in this; but to pursue that
jiranch of the subject would load us into
metaphysics, and wo desire to confine our
Bolves to facts.
The figures of this report also smash into
Hinders certain pet beliefs concerning the
reckleusnoss and improvidence of tho Irish in
marrying at a too tmderage, and without
first wuiting until they have cuges into which
to put their birds. 1 he inarnuges in Ireland,
ti the year covered by the report, were only
tme in every 207 persona, while the marriages
In LngliuiU, during tho same year, were one
Jn every lift, and in Hootland one in l'!7. And
while in Scotland 74 of tho males and 21! f
- Jhe females out of every pxwi, and iu Enlaud
CO of the niftled Mid 200 of the females out of
every KMX), who were married, were under 21
years of age, in reckless and improvident
Ireland only 87 of the males and 181 of the
females out of every 1000 who entered into
the holy ntate of matrimony were minors. So
that it appears, by these inexorablo
figures, that the wild Irishman is more pru
dent than the sober Englishman and the
thrifty Scot in agreeing to take upon himself
tho duty of providing bread for other mouths
besides his own, and of swelling tho popula
tion of the Queen's dominions. Tho common
belief, bIro, that tho Irish are more proline
than other people receives an apparent con
tradiction from this report. The percentage
of births to the entire population in Ireland
is2; in England, a little moro than ."; and
in Scotland nearly H. But it must be remem
bered that in Ireland nenrly all tho births aro
those of children born in wedlock, while more
than (' per cent, of the births in England and
nearly 10 per cent, of those in SooLlaud aro
illegitimate, and tho great streams of emigra
tion from Ireland carry away a larger propor
tion of young than old people. The facts wo
have given uro worthy of attention; we oom
mend them to the prayerful consideration of
tho timid souls who look forward to the ruin
of this country by means of tho hordes of
"low Irish" who are weekly landed on our
hhorcs.
TAMMANY HALL ON THE NEXT PRESI
DENCY. From the A. 1. Herald.
Tammany Hall is a power in the land. Tho
city tax levy of twenty odd millions is enough
to show it; for Tammany rules the city, and
tho city has become strong enough to carry
the State, and the State is the mainstay of tho
Democratic party of the United States. Hence
the outgivings of Tammany on tho political
situation menu something. Accordingly the
party views, doctrines and hints thrown out
from Tammany on the "glorious Fourth" are
entitled to special attention, foreshadowing,
as they do, the present position and future
course of the irrepressible Democracy.
First, then, after a solemn, a very solemn
ode from Do Witt Van Bureu and there is a
poet among the Van Burens, as there have
been statesmen, politicians, wits, and philoso
phers after a poem from a Van Bureu, calling
us to
"Look where broken laws, neglected oaths, and shat
tered Stales proclaim
The triumph of the hollow heart, the glory of Its
Hliamc,"
Judge Garvin proceeded to tho nomination of
Governor Hofi'uian as tho Democratic candi
date for President in 1872, and at the same
time defined his platform. The learned Judge
in the course of his remarks said: "But the
day will come when the soldier who now
occupies the White House, when his term of
lnce shall expire that wo will send to bo
President a man from the city of New York,
by the aid of tho votes of the people of this
great country, who will do honor to that posi
tion, and who will demand atonement from
England and from Spain for tho terrible out
rages which they have perpetrated upon this
country; all ot which was received with en
thusiastic applause. Having thus clearod the
ground for Governor HolVman and his foreign
policy to the satisfaction of the assembled
sachems, another step was taken touching our
domestic affairs in foreshadowing the Demo
cratic programme for 1-"'J.
Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, was as
signed to this important duty, and discharged
it with the ability of a regular old-time Demo
cratic constitutional expounder. He took the
ground that from tho niodo adopted by Con
gress ot enloremg upon tho late liebel htates
the condition precedent of tho adoption of
the fifteenth constitutional amendment, estab
lishing universal manhood suU'raizo of all
colors, the ratification of this amendment will
be null and void, "and the attempt to enforce
it revolution. Speaking of the States re
quired by law ( adopt it, Mr. Stockton said:
"These States are deprived of a freo vote
They are to be coerced to a vote that alters
the constitutions of the United States
and of New Jersey - fundamentally," and
"I pronounce it violence und revolution."
He further said that "the question of who
votes and who does not vote sinks into insig
nificance compared with the fundamental
alteration of our system of government which
is proposed, and the fraud and violence by
which our home-born liberties are to be
wrested from us." This is plain and strong
speaking; but where do these opinions of Mr
htockton stop t They carry us back to 18M),
They cover not only the fifteenth amendment
establishing universal negro sun rage, but the
fourteenth in reference to civil rights, the na
tional debt, the Rebel debt, etc, and the
thirteenth, abolishing slavery; for they were
all carried by an enforced ratification upon
the unreconstructed Southern States. We
know, too, that it was General Frank Blair's
letter, declaring all these reconstruction pro
ceedings "unconstitutional, revolutionary,
null, and void," that killed last year's Tam
many Presidential ticket of Seymour and
Bkir from the start. And that ought to be
the last of this question.
But there is still another point and incident
in Mr, htockton s speech deserving of notice
In his reference to a recent decision of Chief
Jnbtice Chase, leaning towards the Jeft'erso
nian dogma of State sovereignty, our reporter
assures us that there was a spontaneous out
break of applause in Tammany among the
bmall and the "big Indians," which was the
upeciid incident of the day's proceedings,
I roni this we infer that Mr. Chase, as a strong
and thoronghly acveptable candidate for the
Democracy, has gained a hold among the rank
and file of the party which places him to-day
tar ahead ot all other competitors, not except
inc uovernor noninan.
Mayor Hall followed the regular orator of
the day, Mr. btocKton, in one ot his never
failing, facetious, and pungent speeches. The
sidient points of hisomewhat discursive and
miscellaneous remarks were these : That
"the Army of the Potomac is keeping alive
the embers of civil war" (a very suggestive
remark); that General Grant is responsible
for the lack of anything like practical syin
pathy from the Government for the Cubans,
and that we (the i;emoracy) must make an
issue of this in the coming fall campaign
that, like . Andrew Johnson, General Grant
before the end of his term, will be turned out
of his party, and on account of his division of
the spoils; that "four-fifths of what is said
about the Alabama claims is the sheerest
humbug in the world;" that give the Demo
cratic party a chance and there will be practi
cal sympathy, and to some purpose, for both
Cuba and Ireland; that the Democracy expect
something from the Virginia election, and
that in the full they will he wide awake iu
Pennsylvania and New York.
Thus it will be seen that the powerful fff-teen-iuch
columbiads Cuba and the Alabama
claims apparently neglected by the adminis
tration, aro to be turned in New York against
it this fall, and that impracticable as aro the
views of Senator Stockton on reconstruction,
tho issues suggested by Mayor Hall are suoh as
wifl be apt, iu the coming October and No
vember elections, to bring out" the full
strength of tho Democracy against tho demo
ralized and disorganized Republicans. U, as
th.y Buy, It takes something like a defeat to
wake up the energies of General Grant, there
is a prospoot mat iio will ue tuorouguiy rounea
by the coming fall elections. .
PRUSSIA AS A NAVAL TOWER.
Trnm the S. Y. Timt.
Nothing in the history of modorn Europe
is more remarkablo than the sudden develop
ment of Prussia into n groat power in the
actual, and not merely in the diplomatio nonse
of tho term. It is but throe years ago since
the European world was electrified by the
biuldon revelation of the fact that Prussia was
no longer a second-class power, tolerated
formally rather than accepted as an equal by
France. England, and tho other horoditary
"great powers" of Europe, but a nation that
could not only hold her own in a groat war, but
which could absolutely crush a formidable
military power, by sheer strength, in one-
tenth ot the time it lormeriy toon to settle a
national duel. And although tho weakness
of Austria, through her obstinate adherence
to exploded military traditions, caused her to
full nn easv victim to hor vouncrer rival, it
was still manifest that the splendid system of
military organization whicn had con
verted tho entire male population
of Prussia into a standing army,
without unduly drawing upon the productive
resources of the nation, and tho judgment
and quickness displayed by the Prussian Gov
ernment in seizing upon nud adopting the
latest improvements in the science of warfare,
had made Prussia tho most formidable mili
tary power on the continent. The overwhelm
ing power of the breech-loader, practically
exemplified at Sadowa, was at once recognizod
throughout Europe, and evon France, with
her Hplendid traditions and gigantio arma
ments, felt a shiver of alarm from which sho
has scarcely yet recovered. And now that the
entire population of North Germany has been
macticidlv brought within the reach of tho
Prussian recruiting sergeant, it is scarcely an
exaggeration to call her the greatest military
power in Europe.
But it is clear that Prussia, under tho vir
tual rule of a statesman like Count Bismark,
is not content to remain a military power and
nothing else. I he scarcely concealed object
of Prussia in forcing on tho war with Don-
mark was the acquisition of maritime- advan
tages which would enable her to attain the
position of a great naval power, and with
characteristic energy Count Uisinark has not
neglected a single available opportunity of
adding to the naval strength of his country.
Tho most powerful iron-clad in tho world,
built for the Sultan, and oll'ered to the Eng
lish Government, was snapped up by the
ever-watchful Bismark; two other iron-clads,
of almost equal strength, have since been
added to the Prussian licet; all that engineer-
ng skill can do has been done in designing a
second Portsmouth or Cherbourg iu the
newly-acquired possession on the Baltic,
and we now learn that Russia regards
the naval preponderance of Prussia in
that sea with undisguised jealousy
and alarm, while the n,ngusn papers
are already beginning to speak of her as a
formidable rival in the supremacy of the
European seas, so long claimed as the un
questioned perquisite of tho ideal "Bri
tannia." And at a time when every nation
may be said to have a fresh start in naval
matters, this perturbation among the older
naval powers is not unnatural. What the
ultimate effect on the European "balance of
power" may be remains to be seen; but there
can be no doubt that herealter Prussia will
be able to exercise an influence in European
affairs at large scarcely inferior to that hitherto
possessed by France and England. Even
now neither of these powers would much
relish the spectacle of the Prussian iron-clad
fleet taking an experimental cruise in the
Channel or the Mediterranean. For the
future, we fancy, the views of Prussia with
regard to little tamily difficulties between
European nations will be consulted with a
good deal more deference than has formerly
been the case. .
WHAT IS NEEDED IN THE COUNTRY.
From tht X. T. Times.
We gave place yesterday to a letter from
an occasional correspondent in the country,
in which the writer, in a rather facetious vein,
discnuses the plans lately devised by the
J noune for securing honest candidates lor
tho State Legislature in tho rural districts,
a -id sets forth the practical difficulties in tho
way of putting them into operation. There
:s much force in what our correspondent
says. V e agree with him in believing tho
plan in meeting secretly, for the purpose of
naming candidates, to be unwise and imprac
ticable. Our friends in the country have
already a much better method than this for
securing the nomination of proper men, and
they have only to carry it out to secure the
best results. There are no close political cor
porations of any kind in the country. There
the Republican organizations, unlike those in
this city, are open io all persons who belong
to the republican party, and all members
of that party are free to participate in
caucuses and primaries for the selec
tion of delegates to nominating conven
tions. If, therefore, the rank and file of the
party desire that honest men should be
nominated, they have only to attend these
preliminary meetings, and bv voice and vote
secure' the selection not only of "leading"
but of "honest" men as delegates to the con
ventions. Let this be done, and there will
bo no need of "Citizens' Associations" in tho
counties to assist in defeating dishonest can
didates. The great body of Republican
voters are in favor of honest men and honest
measures, and they have only to bo true to
themselves, and to make use of the simple
and practicable party machinery already in
existence among them, to secure the preva
lence of their views, without resorting to un
tried and perhaps impracticable measures.
They have tho matter in thoir own hands.
We "entreat" our Republican friends in the
country to consider it seriously. Let every
momber of tho party conscientiously attond
the caucuses, and secure tho election of
honest delegates to the nominating conven
tions. Nothing else is required; and the Re
publican party has tho right to expect of
every member the performance of thii simple
duty.
A word as to Citizens' Associations in the
counties. The organization at whose head
stands the numo of tho venerable Tutor
Cooper has accomplished an immense amount
of good in this city, by keeping down taxa
tion and preventing the consummation of
dishonest jobs. Its service iu this respect
cannot be too highly estimated. At the same
time, it is, we think, open to question whether
the establishment of such societies in tho
eonntrv will lead to any good results that
cannot be equally well secured by simpler,
more familiar, and more practicable methods.
OUR CHINESE.
From the JV. Y. Tribuii.
While we have given somo time and
thought to the problem of Chinese immigra-
tiim, we have not attained a final solution,
and have no opinion respecting it thut we
seek to impose on others. It may bo that
further knowledge and couidvvatiou will in
duce us to unite in the domand that this lm
migration he stopped, though our present
leoning is adverse to this. Bnt whatever may
or should be done as to future sojourners
from tho Flowery Land, thore are certain in
termediate propositions which- no republican
or true democrat, no American of Revolution
ary faith or stork, and, above all, no Chris
tian, can possibly demur to. They are as
follows: . , i ' i . ,
I. Tho Chineso already in our country were
fully authorized to como among us. Our laws,
our customs, the genius of our institutions,
assured them a welcome and the fullest pro
tection for their persons and property. For
every oaso of robbery, abuse, or maltreatment
of a Chinaman in this country, our Govern
ment owes full reparation, and cannot, with
out, gross perfidy, refuse to respond favorably
to any demand for indemnity which China
may soo fit to make.
II. Since it is notorious that the Chinese
aro habitually abused, maltreated, robbed,
and every way wronged by our countrymen,
while the laws of the States wherein they aro
mainly found conspire against them by re
fusing them opportunity to testify in courts
of justice, it would be idle to sot up that thoso
wrongs are the forbidden acts of a few bad
men. California, as a body politic, makes
herself tho accomplice and shiold of tho
wrong-doers.
III. Tho pretenso that, the Chinoso on our
Taeific const are slaves is false. Having no
money at home, and accustomed to work there
for $2 por month, they aro solicited by capi
talists or speculators who tell them, "We will
pay your passage to America, and allow you
to work it out for t per month; that done,
you can Rell your labor to whomsoever you
will for S20 to $:i0 per month" which they
do. ' This contract may be usurious, but the
poor fellows close with the best terms offered
them, and aro no more slaves than is any one
who, being in debt, contracts to work it out.
IV. Most of us profoss to bo Christians
after some sort, and expect the conversion of
China to Christianity. Bnt every Chinese
who spends a few years in America, and then
returns to his native land (as nearly all who
survive do), becomes inevitably an obstacle
to the conversion of his country. He says to
them, "Never believe what these missiona
ries tell you about Christians and Christianity.
I have tried them thoronghly, and know by
Bad experience that they are ruffians, robbers,
and cruel tyrants, abusing the weak and help
less Rtrnnger as no true disciple of Confucius
ever did or will do. Beware of them ! 1 lve
thousand pious missionaries may wear out
their lives commending Christianity to
the Chinese without counteracting all the
evils that the Californians have already done.
V. While we do not finally doeido that Chi
nese immigration is a good thing, wo are
strongly moved to do so by some of
the arguments by which it is resisted.
Thus, Hon. Eugene Casserly, Democratic
United States Senator, in his recent speech at
ban irancisco, says:
"It Is the duty of everv class of men to unite to
prevent the Introduction of the Chinese. If they
come In contact only with tho common laborers to
day, to-morrowr they will be In competition with the
mason, the brlcklB.ver, the carpenter, and tho ma
chinist, for they are the most frugal, industrious, and
ingenious people on the face of the earth, book at
the splendid granite building occupied by Wells,
rarfro Co., me stone or wnien was eut in China,
and was built by Chinamen. Men who can do such
work for less than half the price paid white mechan
ics were an injury to tae state, and no would unite
with any parly that would use energetic means to
keep them out of the country. There was only ono
party that could be depended upon for that purpose,
and that was the true old Democracy."
If this be sound, logical statesmanship.
then the Chinese have only to become idle,
dissolute, clumsy, and rapacious, to render
them valuable acquisitions to a rising State.
Let them combine to ask more for their work
than others do, or to do less for the money
they receive, and they will be welcomed to
our soil and to Democratic fellowship.
Mr. Casserly boasts that his party is the
only dependence for "cnergetio means to
keep them out of the party. That is too
probable. But, as that country is every way
out of power, cannot pass an act of Congress,
nor expound one, nor execute it, the "ener
getic means at its command are restricted to
the bludgeon, the brickbat, the slung-shot,
the revolver, and such little amenities of as
sault, robbery, and arson, to which tho
Chinese have hitherto been subjeotod in Cali
fornia. What tho Democracy of that State
eon do in the way of legislation is mainly of a
negative kind; that is, the btate can pass laws
to screen her Caucasian ruffians from the
righteous penalties of their misdeeds, when
the victims are nothing but tJhineso. This
she has done; this, bo long as she has Demo
cratic rulers, she will probably continue to
do. But still the Chinese Hook hither; soothe
Democratic "means, though clearly "ener
getic," seem nowise effectual.
What then?
