1U1LE.
From the K. Y. Commercial Advert iter.
l'hiladclphia, which formerly was noted for
its order and sobriety, now appears to bo
given over to lawlessness and crime. Last
Saturday one individual wan deliberately shot to
death by another in the Fairmount Park. On
Monday two ruffians rode up, in broad day
light, to a store in a prominent street, and
while one held the horsos the other entered
the building and Rent a bullet through the
body of a United States officer, who, because
of his efficient efforts to ferret out villainy,
had provoked the revenge of villains. Coolly
re-entering the carriage the assassin was
driven away, np one street and down another
to the park, where he and his confederate
escaped, though the crowd had closely fol
lowed them and vociferously called for their
detention and arrest. The time and manner
chosen by these villains for their attempted
assassination were no more remarkable than
their escape. Imagine two murderers shoot
ing down a man in Fourth avenue at noon,
and then riding through Madison avenue and
Thirty-fourth street, up Sixth avenue to Cen
tral l'ark, and then "being lost sight of,"
though ".closely followed by the police and
crowd." Is there an individual connected
with the police force of New York so imbecile
as not to have soizod the first vehicle on the
thoroughfare and given chase to the fleeing
assassins, if unable to keep track of them on
foot? l'hiladelphians assure us that never
before were there so many cases of robbery,
house-breaking, and crime of every descrip
tion. Thousands of the citizens have pro
cured extra locks and bolts for thoir doors,
nnd now exercise precautions against burglars
which wore never before doomed essential.
For this carnival of crime there must be
some explanation, and it is to be found, so
rhiladelphians charge, in the course of Mayor
Fox. Last fall, whether by fair or foul menus
will-be determined by the decision Boon to be
pronounced, this individual supplanted a
Kepublican official, Mayor McMichael, who
had labored energetically to enforce order and
sobriety in the Pennsylvania metropolis. On
assuming the robes of office, Mr. Fox gave
the people to understand that his administra
tion would be wholly free from anything of a
partisan character. So long as the Legisla
ture remained in session his promises wore
made good, and the thievos and cut-throats
who, through his election, expected to secure
immunity from punishment, began to raise a
clamor about his ears. The Democratic
Mayor was, however, biding his time. Faith
ful, efficient, long-serving police, nppointed
by previous administrations, were undisturbed
as long as there was danger of the Legisla
ture passing a Metropolitan l'olico bill, taking
the control of the city guardians out of the
Mayor's hands. No sooner, however, was
this danger averted by the adjournment of
that body than the guillotine was set up, and
has been kept in active operation ever since.
One Republican policeman after another has
been dismissed, and their places filled with
ruffians and scoundrels, the same depraved
class of men who last fall were sworn in as
special deputies by a Democratic sheriff to
overawe the legal voters and intimidate the
poll officers from keeping out of tho ballot
boxes the tens of thousands of bogus votes
which had been prepared by the Democratic
leaders.
To the "tender mercies" of such characters
are the lives and property of l'hiladelphians
now intrusted. In a case which came up for
trial at one of the courts last Saturday, it was
shown that these new policemen were not
only boon companions of convicted robbers,
but likewise sharers of their plunder. In
view of such a condition of affairs, there is
good reason for the uneasiness and feeling of
insecurity which pervade tho city.
"While thieves and gamblers," observes a
Philadelphia paper of recent date, "are per
mitted by Mayor Fox to take possession of
our most public street; while gigantic rob
beries take place under the roof of his Honor's
Court; while almost a murder is done within
sight of polioe headquarters by professional
thieves and gamblers, as was lately done at
Ninth and Chesnut streets; while the Mayor's
officers are the recipients of thieves' plunder,
it is no wonder that the respectable citizen
grows apathetic, and loses hope."
The lawlessness now prevailing in their
chief city should serve as a warning to the
people of Pennsylvania against permitting
tne .Democratic party to restore its supremacy
over the entire State this fall.
THE DENT
MOVEMENT
IN MISSIS
SIITI.
From the A". Y. Time.
The Mississippi friends of Judge Lewis
Dent are at liberty to nominate him for
Governor if they choose, and Judge Lewis
Dent is at liberty to accept the nomination if
he think proper. But when the former call
themselves "National Republicans" and thoir
convention a "National Republican Conven
tion," aud when the latter accepts the nomi
nation as the act of the Republicans of tho
State, they are jointly and severally parties
to a fraud. Tho object of those who have
made this nomination is to defeat the genu
ine Republicans in tho approaching contest,
and a spurious Republican ticket is con
sidered tho best means of accomplishing it.
This is what tho Dent movement in Missis
sippi really means.
There are circumstances in which "radi
cal" and "conservative" Republicans may
honestly differ. Virginia furnished an ex
ample. The section of the party that nomi
nated Wells assumed a position favorable to
the retention of tho proscriptive provisions
of the new Constitution; the more liberal Re
publicans rallied under Walker. Both were
Republicans to the extent of desiring the re
storation of the State in conformity with the
requirements of Congress, but they repre
sented, respectively, opposing opinions as to
the policy to be pursued to render reconstruc
tion just, safe, and satisfactory. With the
Republican party thus divided, the balance of
power rested with the Democrats, who on this
occasion proved themselves reasonable and
conciliatory.
, If the condition of affairs in Mississippi
were similar in any essontial respect, the ex
perience of parties in Virginia would probably
be repeated. A second Republican ticket
would then be intelligible if not unavoidable.
But there is no analogy between the two
cases. The Republicans of Mississippi are a
unit in nrincintft. Tim viroscrrntivo policy
has ceased to vex and divide them. The
whole iitirtv Htnnila on broad and Generous
ground; denreeatinor as unwise the imposi
tion of tho test oath or disabilities in any
form, and favoring the rejection of so much
of the proposed Constitution as gives thorn
sanction. "General amnesty and universal
suffrage" is the maxim proclaimed by the
regular party, or which Mr. Alcorn, a resi
dent planter, will almost certainly be the
candidate. There is not, in short, a single
proposition in the resolutions of the conven
tion that nominated Mr. Dent which is not
an echo of propositions already affirmed by
(he Republican organization proper, whose
nominations the Dent movement is dnsignod
to defeat. The keenest eye will fail to de
tect any matter of principle which affords a
descent pretense for Republican division.
Nor do ordinary personal considerations
furnish an explanation of tho Democratic
preference for Dent over Alcorn. With all
duo respect to Judge Dent, it must be said
that he has neither residence nor interest in
Mississippi. Mr. Alcorn, on the contrary, is
one of the largest planters in tho State, and
one of its most enterprising citizens. IIo is
identified with tho Republican party, and has
been a leader in times when leadership implied
courage, principle, and capacity.
The simple truth is, that the Democrats de
sire to get possession of tho pen that is to
write the new Constitution also of the Legis
lature and State government generally. This
they can only hope to accomplish, if at all, by
indirection. They know that they must tight
such battles in Mississippi tinder false colors,
and the term "National Republican" has been
appropriated for tho purpose.
LO! THE POOR INDIAN.
From the A'. 1'. Tribune.
If tho celebrated Logan could look down
from his celestial hunting-grounds and see
the prosperous condi ion of his descendants
such of them at least as wear the paint and
feathers of the Tammany tribe and owe alle
giance to tho great sachem in Fourteenth
street we dare sny ho would forgot his
wrongs and his rhetoric, and ask leave to
withdraw altogether his famous speech
against tho palofuces. Whatever rascally
agents and lawless settlers may do to the red
men of the plains, the Copperhead braves of
Manhattan are getting so rich, and pros
perous, and comfortable, that tho whole
race must feel bound to accept thoir prospe
rity as an amende honorable from a penitent
public.
Of the Tammany tribe the most famous
are, as is well known, Warrior Peter B.
Sweeny, celebrated for his cunning and wise
counsels; Grand Sachem William M. Tweed,
well known for his long purse and generous
(some think to a fault) distribution of the
public wampum among decrepit and worn
out braves who have done tho tribe service;
Sachem R. B. Connolly, a crafty old warrior,
popularly known as the great scalper of Oliver
Charlick, tho railroad king, and Michael Con
nolly, the big judge, popularly known among
his familiars and admirers as tho Daniel
O'Connell of the American Fenians. Those
three chiefs are monarchs of nearly all they
survey. They own much wampum aud
lands, and have parcelled out among their
own relations all tho scalps that the tribes
have taken. Look at the record, and then
contrast tho happy situation of these big and
little injins with that of Logan's family,
warrior bweeny is City Chamberlain, with
an income of !l,s(), ()()(); William A. Herring,
his brother-in-law, is Auditor, with a salary of
(), and also director in the 1 ntnxcrim As
sociation, which, together with tho New York
Printing Company, receive, in one form or
another, it is popularly believed, about
400,000 per annum from the subjugated
people of Manhattan, for recording the wise
laws made by the whisky braves at the City
Hall, and the long-drawn out account of the
scalps they take when annually on the war
path in November and December. Thomas
j. Barr, his uncle, is Secretary to the Tax
Commissioners, Commissioner for Opening
Streets, and, now and then, a Receiver when
railroads bring their quarrels into our City
Courts. They sny he also made a good thing
as Receiver for the Fenian Fund, receiving to
his own use Sfi2."00 thereof for very small ser
vices rendered.
The second big injin is Grand Sachem Wil
liam M. Tweed, who aspires to be the national
big ingin of all the tribes.
It will be noticed that the male members of
his family are, unfortunately, not numerous,
which puts him to tho painful necessity of
holding many offices himself such as Sena
tor, Supervisor, Deputy Street Commissioner,
and, directly or indirectly, some twelve or fif
teen other fat and pleasant places. His pa
poose, William M. Tweed, Jr., is Assistant
District Attorney, holds an office on tho Gov
ernor's staff, was "receiver" in the Pacific
and other railroad quarrels, and is a referee,
appointed by the judges. Although not over
twenty-six years old, he is understood to be
on tho Tammany slate for Judge of the Supe
rior Court, to be elected this fall. William II.
King, his brother-in-law, is Tax Commis
sioner, with a salary of $10,000; and William
H. King, Jr., his brother-in-law's son, is
Chief Clerk to the Street Commissioner,
with a salary of $IS000 per annum.
Next and last comes big injin Connolly,
who for the present is satisfied with being
Controller, with J. Townsond Connolly, his
son, as Deputy Auditor, at a salary of i(iO()(),
and who also holds a position upon the Gov
ernor's staff. Robert C. Hutchings, his son-
in-law, is Assistant District-Attorney, and is
now believed to no on tne slate lor hurrogate,
to be elected this fall. Joel A. Fithian. his
son-in-law, is Deputy Receiver of Taxes, with
a salary of t;ooo, and is also School Trustee
for the Twenty-first Ward.
Of course, the curious reader will notice
that we have taken no account in any of these
cases of the perquisites appertaining to each
position, which are reputed to bo, under the
care of the incnmbents,"growing larger and
larger, until they have already reached such
princely proportions as to make tho stated
salaries look insignificant and beggarly in the
comparison.
WELL DONE.
Ft nn the A". Y. WvrM.
It is a tribute to magnanimity that certain
Texas lames should have called at the War
Department on the afternoon of tho Nth inst
and there left a beautiful bouquet of flowers
and evergreens to bo placed on the coffin of
the dead bocretary. It is stated by the tele
graph that the party, consisting of three
lailies, under escort of a gentleman, was
unknown; that it simply called to proffer its
off ering, which was in tho shape of a largo
star and bore attached to it a card with theso
words:
"On this altar of tho greatest sacrifice for our
country's good, the Lone Star Mule otl'ors ln;r em
blem us lncenso to renewed fraternal love. A way.
wurd ulster, she Is still a stater."
Now, remembering that General Rawlins
won his prominence in a war waged to over
whelm tho effort of Texas, in conjunction
with her Southern sisters, to establish a sep
arate government from that of the United
States, and that by this war, to which the
dead Secretary virtually gave his life, many
thousands of Texans fell in battle or now lin
ger out crippled lives, it is easy to boo that
it was not to the Federal soldier that there
came this floral tribute from the daughters of
the Lone Star State. But when the war was
over, this John A. ltawlins, who had so stead
fastly uphold the Union arms, felt it was no
longer time for hostile endeavors against a
conquered enemy, but rather for such offices
of magnanimity and returning fraternization
as wore at once the dictates of a sound
head and a kind heart. Accordingly it is that,
when, in the day of his death, analyses
of tho character of the Secretary were
made, men spoke of him as a tried and
trusted counsellor who constantly advised his
chief against the malevolences of ill adviser
as a broad-flouled man who revolted at and
always opposed, in tho conduct of the South
ern question, the legislation of the Hump
Parliament and the test-oaths and dispensing
power of the second James. Further than
this, there is some statement that, when
nlmost in tho death-throe, he had a word for
his family and for his beloved but absent
leader and for harassed Cuba, ho hid also a
word in sympathy for the Southern country
and rebuke of that detestable course pursued
towards it. These things going abroad, no
doubt came to Southern ears in Washington,
nnd, forgetting all but that a voice that had
been constantly heard in defense of tho van
quished was now stilled, the hands of Texas
ladies wrought tho Lono Star in flowers and
placed it, in the name of their countrymen of
tho Alamo, upon tho dead man's bier.
THE WISCONSIN DEMOCRACY A STEP
FORWARD.
From the AT. Y. Ilrrald.
The Wisconsin Domocracy in their State
Convention tho other day resolved, among
other things, that "the Democratic party of
Wisconsin rejoice in tho extinction of slavery
and in the prompt and general acquiescence
of the Southern people in the results of the
war;" that they rejoice, too, "in every well
directed effort for the enlightenment aud ele
vation of oppressed humanity at home and
abroad, and in every measure compatible with
good government and publio order to
broaden tho basis of suffrage and extend tho
blessings of free institutions to all classes of
the people."
"Broaden the basis of suffrage." They
have the suffrage now in Wisconsin to all free
white males over the age of twenty-one this
broadening, therefore, applies to "the al
mighty nigger." The Wisconsin Democracy,
taking the broad hint from their Southern
brethren, simply give up the fight on negro
suffrage, for they have had enough of it.
The Democrats of Ohio, in their emphatic
resolutions against the nigger and against
the fifteenth amendment, have made
an issue upon which, with the national
administration emphatically against them,
they will have np-hill work to upset
General Grant's majority of last year. In
New York, from the general tone of the De
mocratic journals, the party fight this fall, as
in Ohio, will be against negro suffrage, aud
particularly against the fifteenth amendment.
In the approaching Democratic State Con
vention, however, this old party hostility to
the negro may be somewhat softened down.
Tho question is, that as the Southern 1 onio
cracy have taken a new departure, shall the
Northern Democracy join them or stand
alone? Tho Wisconsin Democracy, with their
laces houth, have answered by a step forward,
because they have found out that it is useless
to keep fighting on the back track.
