DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS.
From the X. P. Tim.
Tbe real masters of this city wanted it
on Friday for their own purposes, and they
took it. Bach streets as they did not happen
to need they graoionsly allowed Americans to
nee bnt otherwise "New Ireland" was taken
poBsepsion of by men from "Ould Ireland,"
and the American was hustled into the side
streets. Tbe traffio along Broadway, and the
train avonnes through which the oars ran,
was completely suspended. It is the aeoond
time wit bin a few weeks that the publio hare
been taken by the neck and shoulders, as it
vere, and turned out of their own property.
The entire civio administration is placed at
the disposal of our Irish friends, from the
Mayor to the police the Mayor, indeed, is
largely responsible for what he mast know is
a great abuse of law and authority. "It
would be curious to know," saya the axprest,
how many of tbe people now inhabiting
the United States "are Irish, or the sons and
daughters of Irish parents." It would be
still more carious to know what degree of
freedom, will be allowed to the true American
when the Irish have obtained the same
RoeadaDcy over the National Government
which they have secured without a straggle
over that of New York. If we may judge
from our own experience, the Irish are no
gentle masters when they have gained the
upper hand. They do what they think pro
per with New York, and we hope men of busi
ness and private citizens who yesterday had
their chief streets taken from them admire
the arrangement. But as a correspondent
recently told them, "At they don't like it, they
can lave it." -
We wish that those persons at a distance
who talk about Democracy in a dilettanti
fashion, and think that it would not be bad
for a ohange, and that it would be as well to
give the country over to the Democrats by
way of taking vengeance for Mr. Sumner,
etc., could have been eye-witnesses of the
condition of this city on Friday. We should
like them to have seen their ralers faoe to
face. Of course it will be said that the
Democrats of this city are not fair samples
of the Democrats in other parts of the
country. But Tammany rules the Democracy
everywhere, and the men we saw in
the streets on Friday are the motive power
of Tammany, aud therefore they are fully
entitled to be considered representative men.
The truth is, that we in this city live under a
Democratic government, and we see what
Democratio principles lead to when they have
reached their highest state of development.
Wherever Democracy beoomes as powerf al as
it is here, it will inevitably produce the same
fruits which it has produced here those, and
txo other. There will be a "Boss" at the head
of affairs, and a handful of rascals doing all
Lis dirty work in consideration of having
their fortunes made. It is because we know
this so well, from painful experience, that we
are more anxious to see Republicans maintain
their ground than to see Senator Sumner "re
venged" on President Grant, or General But
ler "get even" on Speaker Blaine.
A long lease of power is always dangerous
to those who are in the enjoyment of it, and
our own party seems destined to find out that
a touch of adversity now and then is neces
sary to brace men up for the vindication of
great principles. One of the worst signs at
present is the cowardioe with whioh men
calling themselves good Republicans are
ascribing the blame for all that is going amiss
to tbe President, as if leaders in Congress and
elsewhere had done nothing to weaken the
party. We see at present clique after clique
"rallying round this or the other
"distinguished" Senator or Repre
sentative; but as for any anxiety
about the country, it seems to be the last
thing thought of. We asked the grumblers
the other day who was the man to restore
harmony to the party who was better en
titled to publio confidence than General
Grant? Not one of them has ventured to
come out and. answer the question. Several
correspondents have, indeed, written to us
ftretending to answer it. One, who signs his
etter "A Voice from the People," says that
what is wanted is the abolition of the in
come tax. Well, surely, Congress is the
proper authority to scold about that. An
other tells ns that if the President would
declare himself in favor of civil service re
form, he would greatly strengthen himself.
Bat it is well known that he is in favor of
such a reform, and once more Congress
blocks the way. The great souroe of weak
ness is that we have too many "leaders," and
that they are more bent upon "paying off"
their own "scores" than studying the real
wants and wishes of the people. If you are
going to run a muck at the President, it is
only reasonable to ask you to produce the
man who seems calculated to enlist a larger
measure of popular support.
We earnestly hope that our friends in Con
necticut will prepare to silence the premature
rejoicings of the Democrats over their recent
victory. On the first Monday is April they
will have an opportunity of doing their part
towards handing the couutry over to the De
mocrats, or keeping it under Republican rule
a rule, remember, which has been the means
of reducing the debt about 204J millions, and
the interest about eleven millions, which has
restored publio credit, and brought gold down
to 11 premium. All the abuse which can be
heaped on General Grant's administration
all the cowardly slanders levelled at his
wife and children by disappointed offlia
seekers oannot get rid of these facts. There
they stand, big enough for the whole world
to see. . Under Democratic rule it is quite
Erobable that very little of the debt would
ave been paid off, although some of it might
have been wiped off. Let us not run any
rihk of this or similar dangers. We beg our
friends in Connecticut to be on their guard
against a Democratio surprise, and to rebuke
the cravens and fanatics who are going about
whining that it is all over with the Republican
party, becanne, forsooth, a majority of Re
publican Senators refewed to replaoe Mr.
Sumner on one of their committees.
THE STYLE BOUFFANT.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
. There can be ce doubt of it: Grandy femme
has utterly routed Jenkins. A host of lady
Mercuries, "swift-footed aud winged-braiued
with pens ready drawn, have scaled all the
high places of interest in the oouutry, from
the blue room to the last criminal court, and
put to flight the manly, long-estahlished Paul
Pfys. The oouutry is, no doubt, the giiner.
It Beeuis to be necessary for our development
as a nation that we should be warned of all
approaching marriages among the very
ordinary fashionable people iu New York
or Washington, and be posted daily as to
Mrs. Grant's lunch-table, or the frills oa
Madame Cataottzy'a petticoats. By allmearn,
then, let these helps to civilization be fur
nished ns by the keener-sighted sex, who
throw themselves into the business eon
amore. We do not refer to the long-existing
corps of lady correspondents, whose old no
tions of grave propriety are voted obsolete by
this newer and more aspiring band. One of
these last, we are told, went lately to a lady
whose story has become historic, and, repre
senting herself as a long-lost cousin, was ad
mitted to her confidence and dressing-room,
and the next day sent off to her New York
employer a budget of Bonaparte family gos
sip, and a full description of the nndraped
arms and shoulders of the too confiding dame.
Here are the very esthetics of impudenoe.
Jenkins can but admire and be silent.
. But the point to whioh we wish to call at
tention is the introduction into our literature
of a new style by these ladies. It is all their
own. All subjects, from Santo Domingo to
the hair of a new Senator, weigh alike in the
alembic of their brains, and come back to ns
marked feminine food forever. Politics,
finance, tbe fishery question, undergo the
same treatment at their fair hands; are mil
linerized, so to speak; are befrilled and far
belowed with tags of school-girl sentiment,
and dance down the stage upon ns with as
amazing silliness and simpers as the three
conspirators in La Grande Ituchesse. One
leading politioal lady writer suggests that
the difficult present question of annexa
tion be "cooked as a national pie," and calls
plaintively on "the ooming woman to blot out
at once Mason and Dixon's line, banish North,
South, East, and West, and convert the na
tion into a conglomerate whole, a huge gla
cier, or a mountain bowlder." Are these pro
phetio hints ? When women rale, are all Uor
dian knots, political and religious, over which
our statesmen have wrangled themselves grey,
to be Bnipped thus delicately by their pocket
scissors ? Are problems of moral and social
science to be draped in infantine sentiment,
and points in international policy illustrated
in Congress debates, not by gibes or the lie
given, but by apt quotations from Mrs. He
mans and L. E. L. ? It is a dream of Arcady.
We rejoice in that sweet femininity which
already begins to soften and blush through
man's ruder work. If this is the dawn, what
may we not look for in the perfect day ?
Meanwhile, as questions of state are not
yet submitted to the manipulation of these
lady writers, they have laid the soft violence
of their hands upon individuals. Their
touch confers swift apotheosis on each other;
a lady candidate for the Presidency beoomes
"full-armed Minerva leaping oat of the head
of the democratio Jove; ' one public woman
is the "myth of Una," whatever that may be,
and another the "Apostle John of the Con
tagious Disease Discussion." Now, this sweet
gush, like sohool-girls' kissing, is very win
ning and attractive, when it is confined to
each other. But we would suggest that
rougher man must be acclimated by degrees
to a drenching in rose-water before it is com
fortable. A Congressman may be used to any
amount or petting and deification from ma
wife over his pipe at home. But when he is
proclaimed on the housetops to be a "babe
like Jupiter," does he like it? Why should
the country be not only told that a certain
retiring Senator "has saved millions of dol
lars to the Treasury," but invited to hear his
sobs over bis wife, dead years ago? Hot
does Jndge Welker relish being held np to
tne people as "made of colors that will wash,
with the faith of many men and women
pinned to him?"
New and peculiar effects suddenly open
npon lis in Congress. While Mr. O'Neill, of
Philadelphia, "slips back into calm waters,"
Mr. Ramey has ' 'fallen into a seat noiselessly
as a snow-flake." "Codfish and cotton, Mas
sachusetts- and South Carolina, are repre
sented by one man in an inky covering and
shadowy halo of romance." The jaws of an
other gentleman "close with tbe force of two
bundred years of bondage. A new colored
member will naturally be subjected to keen
criticism from men until, by his votes or
speeches, he has proved his rank both in out
tore and native strength; but the feminine eye
hasswif ter meansof decision. "A handkerchief
of pineapple origin peeping from the pocket
of this Representative, photographs the ex
quisite gentleman. That is settled. Regard
ing the mulattoes,she exclaims ecstatically:
"Black men? No! WVhite men? No! But
tinted a shade the Eternal onlv knows how to
mix!" But, "Alas! alas! what of all this?"
she wails; "William B. Allison is no longer in
his seat! Never again will the large brown
eyes wander from floor to ceiling, seeking
some soft receptive spot whereon to languish
and to die." This is effective treament. The
only question is, when the Salio law is re
versed, is it to beoome universal? Is there no
way by which a handsome Congressman can
secure a title-deed to himself before he is torn
limb from limb and held up to the gaze of the
admiring public'
CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE COMMITTEE
ON FOREIGN RELATIONS.
From the H. T, World.
The disgraceful history of Mr. Samner'a
removal has called off publio attention Torn
the still more disgraceful charaoter of the
appointment made In his place. Compare
the pecuniary integrity of the man put oat
with that of the man put in. At no time in
the history of our country did its honor or its
interests demand so clearly as now that the
character of the chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations should be above sus
picion, ihe questions between the United
States and Great Britain have led to the
unusually grave step of appointing a Joint
High Commission, whose proceedings are now
looked upon with interest by the oivilized
world. The British Government has sent
here noblemen of high rank and states
men of skill and character. The com
mission is to discuss the gravest ques
tions of international law, and matters
deeply affecting our national honor and iute
rest. Diplomacy never dealt with problems
more delicate or more far-reaching in their
consequences. Ihe treaty-making power is
in fact in the Senate. Upon these questions
the chairman of the Committee of Foreign
Relations in that body is the foremost man
He is the central figure so far as (Jon grew is
concerned, lie is put forward to meet the
noble and dietinguibhed men of the Brituh
commission. Is Simon Cameron a fit man to
hold that place ? What has been his charao
ter, from early life down to the day he left
the oihee of Secretary of War in disgraoe i
It cannot be Baid that the charges w'liou
blacken him are made only by politio.il eae
mies. It was a llepublicau House of Repre
sentatives which passed the following censure
upon his official oonduo':
JUwlved, That Simon Cameron, late Seem
tar j of War. by investing vvltM trie
control i.f large sums ol tne pu'illo imuey,
and authority to purchase miltury supplies
wiuiout restriction, without requiring rom
liliu any guarauleu for the faithful performance of
tiUdiitit-M, wheu llie sorvtues of coiuputent p I'tlic
oitUerj were available, and by involving the (liv
en, ineut. in a v;it number of contracts witli porsocis
nut 1.-1 minutely eugaged iu the business peru'uiu.f
to Ihe suitjtM't matter of uuuli nontrauM, esauoU'.ly
In The i iirchikHtt of arms for future duiivery, ut
adopted it policy tiiRhly injurious to the publlu ser
vice, titid unserve til i censure of this llojiu.
This wan tbe mildest form of censure h'n
political friends could frame in view of tua
facts set forth by a oommittee made op
mainly of Republican partisans.
It cannot be claimed for Mr. Cameron that
he has any intelleottual fitness for the plaoe
he holds. He has made himself rich bv those
arts which the lowest minds can practise. la
the debate npon the army frauds, Thaddeas
Stevens, who was a defender of Mr. Cameron,
npon the floor of the House of Representa
tives, admitted bis want of Capacity. We give
the words of Mr. Stevens:
As I have said already, I have not Introduced
the name of General Cameron In thin debue. It is
unpleasant to go Into one's biography. It Is true,
as me gentleman nas sain, Derore tne appointment
of General Cameron to a place in the Cabinet of Mr.
Lincoln, I, together with eight or ten others of my
colleagues, waited on Mr. Lincoln and protested
apatnst his appointment as a member of the Cabi
net. We did not think he wai the proner person to
go there, nor (ltd we think ho had the capacity. We
gave other strong reasons why he should not be ap
pointed. The Santo Domingo job is not the only
thing "with money in it" whioh is to go
through the hands of thin committee; not
only are vast sums involved in the question
with Great Britain, but the negotiations can
be made to tell npon tne stock market. Mr.
Sumner stood in tbe way of such things.
When a 1 resident who "takes presents and
a Senate which reeks with corruption " push
an conest man out or his place, the liritian
negotiators will be dull indeed if they do not
take the hint. The Tribune has had much
to say about the use of British gold in legis
lation about tariffs. Will it arouse its readers
to the danger of its use at this time?
COMMERCIAL FAILURES.
From the Mercantile Journal.
A comparison of the failures in the United
States in 1870, with the annnaljstatistics for
the two previous years, exhibit an alarming
increase in the aggregate losses of the entire
country. In 18G8, the failures in the United
States showedlosses amounting to $ G3, 754,000,
as compared with $75,054,000 in 18G9 and
$88,272,000 in 1870. This statement is cer
tainly a startling one, showing as it does an
increase of nearly twenty per cent, over the
losses involved by the disasters of the two
former years, and over thirty-three per cent,
more last year than during 18G8. It would
certainly be unwise to attribute the majority
of these losses to any one cause, where it is
quite certain that most of them arise from
a combination of circumstances, prominent
among which are the laxity with which credit
is regulated, the enormous Expense of carry
ing on business, and 'the constantly dimi
nished profits that are paid to traders. The
real absolute wealth of a community is alone
attainable from the soil, and when the num
ber of producers is exceeded by the number
of consumers, there must always be dull
times, to be followed by depression and bank
ruptcy. The war entailed upon society an
unnatural spirit of speculation, while it inau
gurated a system depending for its success on
inflated values, the services of an army of
middlemen, and enormous gains.
It is the effort to continue this system that
prevents the accumulation of surplus wealth,
which is so neoessary to material prosperity.
Heavy expenses, high rates, excessive taxes,
and the increased hazards that have unfavo
rably influenced personal property for the last
few years, all contribute their quota to de
stroy men of limited capital and slender re
sources. The fact is apparent to the most
superficial observer that the big fish are
swallowing up the little ones. Monopolists
are having their way in almost every field
of domestio pursuit. Not that the
fault is beyond remedy, but
much of the trouble may be attributed to
unwise co-operation, foolish strikes, extra
vagant expenditures, and over-trading. There
are too many sellers of merchandise, and too
few buyers; too many consumers, and too
few producers. Reverse the present order of
things. Allow economy to be the rale and
not the exception; do not build up anticipa
tions of buccess on a fictitious basis; employ
capital in business only so far as it will be
safe and profitable, and we shall have fewer
causes of alarm from the advancing tide of
commercial misfortunes.
We must not expect in many years to wit
ness a time of unexampled prosperity; but
very reasonably hope to advance gradually in
wealth, and in the course of a few years, if
unrestrained in the natural development oT
our vast and constantly accumulating re
sources, we shall have gained that position
in industrial prosperity that we should long
since have attained, had it not been for the
happening of the Southern Rebejlion.
Tbe country at large appears to be very
slow in learning these lessons of prudence
that are so neoessary to permanent success;
much slower, in fact, than the commercial
men who do business in oar midst. As evi
dence of this fact we need only point to the
table of statistics before referred to, in which
it is set forth that the aggregate losses by
failures of New York and Brooklyn in 1808
amounted to $31,034,008, against $21,.
870,000 in 1800, and $20,373,000; being a re
duction of f 11,0G1,000 in the three years.
It is very plain to perceive what dire con
sequences must result to our national wealth,
providing the present imprudent management
of commercial affairs is suffered to go on
unchecked. However cautions we of the city
may be, we are too dependent upon the
country at large for our general prosperity,
not to be seriously affeoted, while the evils
that would afllict the nation would prove
almost incalculable.
THE riTTSBURG AND CONNELLSVILLE
RAILROAD.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The difficulties with which that very im
portant branch of the railroad connections
of Baltimore, the Pittsburg and Connellsville
Railroad, has bad to contend must be fresh
in the recollection of all our readers. It will
be remembered that the municipality of Balti
more originally loaned a million of dollars to
tbe work, the whole line of which, as pro
jected, from Cumberland, on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, to Pittsburg, is a distance
of 148 miles. After the construction of fifty
eight miles of the road, from Pittsbarg east
ward, in which the means raised npon the
credit of this city were used, it came to a
halt, and made no progress daring the war,
its advantages, during the interval, of course
inuring exclusively to Pittsburg and the
limited section thus getting on outlet to that
point. Meantime persistent and protracted
efforts were made both in the Legislature
and courts of Pennsylvania by antagonistic
Pennsylrania interests (tbe Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, inj fact) to vacate the char
ter, on account of the failure to complete the
road; but these, after a long fight in both the
Legislature and Courts, were suocesBfully re
tisttd, mainly by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. Having got through this
contest, it becau:e necessary to cast about
for meats to. complete the work, and about
two years ego tlicho iliieolly interested in it
at Pittsburg came to Baltimore, and joining
with the lnre interests here whioh fully ap
preciated the great practical value of the
measure, urged the, city authorities to waive
its first lien, the principal and aijruod inte
rebt of the loau, then amounting to about
.f l,b00,)(;0, bo 'as to. effect a new loan oa
a first mortgage for four millions, with
which to complete this most important
work. This effort, which we strenuously sup
ported at the time, was successful, though
some were so iniudicions as to advocate a
sale of the city a interests, whioh might
have been availed of to their own purposes
by the very adversaries whom we had been
combating triumphantly in the oourts. The
Baltimore and Ohio road at onoe took a mil
lion of the new loan at 00, and others of the
bonds were readily disposed of, from time to
time, among our Baltimore capitalists, till
now the whole loan has been absorbed, the
last of it, some $ 100,000, in tbe past few
days, at 00 and interest, showing the confi
dence here felt in it as a first-olass security.
As the result of this wise liberality, this im
portant road is now almost completed, the
track-laying going on in both directions be
tween Cumberland and Connellsville, and be
fore the end of this month the whole of the
iron will have been put down. All the
bridges npon the road are to be of iron, and
are contracted for at Baltimore and Pittsburg
mostly here and nearly all will be up by
the time the track is finished.
On this enterprise are based the efforts for
an independent line from Pittsburg to Chi
cago the Baltimore and Chioago extension.
Tbe completion of the Pittsburg and Connells
ville road will add a heavy volume of trade
to this city, and, with its. Western connec
tions, existing and in prospect, its influence
npon the prosperity of Baltimore must be im
mense, and triumphantly vindioate the policy
of having held on, through all trials, to the
charter and the final accomplishment of the
scheme by the waiver of our city's first lien
upon the work. The city will now stand in
the position of a second mortgage creditor
npon a finished road of 143 miles in length,
with only $4,000,000 taking precedence
of it a road whioh, no doubt, is, in due
time, to be a very successful, one, not
only augmenting the trade of Baltimore, but
serving to stimulate the growth and add value
to much of the property of the city. The
annual report of the Ohio and Baltimore
Company for 1870, just issued, in alluding to
the expected early opening of this line, says:
"It is believed that no line heretofore opened
in connection with the system of improve
ments of this company ever promised to com
mand so large a business, or produce more
important results in advancing the interests
of great communities. Arrangements nave
been made for an increased equipment
to meet the requirements of the
large anticipated traffio." Low through rates
must prevail on this line to Pittsburg, as tne
Northern Central Road, in connection with
the Pennsylvania Road, offers direct compe
tition for the traffic. The advantages whioh
Baltimore offers the West such points as
Chicago and St. Louis of a route two hun
dred miles shorter to the seacoast than any
other, will, as regards the Northwest espe
cially, be augmented by tne opening of this
line, and the very considerable amounts of
heavy freights which the Baltimore Road
has heretofore diverted from the New York
roads will probably be materially increased in
tne future.
