The act of Congas passed a few
Tears afro to restrict the number of Chi
nese landing in this country, proves to
rw no barrier whatever. Whether it is
the loose enforcement of the law. or the
cunnn'.njr and trickeiy of the Chinese,
it is an undisputed fact that the number
of arrivals is constantly increasing. The
California papers are consequently agi
tin the subject with great earnestness,
and insisting npon some stringent
amendment to the act which will arrest
the evil.
FIerbert Gladstone, a son of the
ex Prime Minister of Eng.and, and him
self a member of Parliament, delivered
a speech to the electors of Leeds on last
Tuesday night, in which he said that
all the Liberal leaders had agreed that
the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
should be abolished, and that the time
bad come when England should frankly
yield to Ireland's demand for home
rule, with proper provisions, however,
for the maintenance of all the rights of
the Crown. The English Tories, who
now control the Government, have
made the same acknowledgement, which
affords strong hope that under the ag
gressive leadership of Mr. Tarnell sub
stantial justice to the Irish people will
Dot be long delayed.
"Cardinal McCloskey." says the
Philadelphia Record of Sunday last,
"passed peacefully away i.. the first
hour of the morning yesterday, tLe high
est dignitary of the Catholic Church on
this continent and one of the best be
loved. He was a fair repiesentative of
the rule of the Church, which selects
Its princes from '.he mass of the people.
As a priest, bishop and archbishop he
kept un impai red t he con fldence of the ru
lers of his Church as well as the body of
it. As a citizen of this Republic he was
iuii:i O! all men IOI llic)n.i iwnu,
the probity and the exemplary upright
ness of his character. His death is a
supreme affliction to devout Catholics,
but they are not alone In their sorrow.
All good Christions and good men and
women will drop a tear upon the grave
of this geiitle and faithful prelate, whose
death was line his life, lighted with an
uuwavering faith and endured with
patient courage."
A New York dispatch of Saturday,
tbe day on which Cardinal McCloskey
died, states that after the body had been
embalmec it would be removed to the
Cathedral where it will lie in state until
Thursday (yesterday) morning, when
the funera! will take place. Archbishop
Coriigan will sing the mass and Arch
bishop Gibbons, of Baltimore, will
preach the funeral sermon. A notewor
thy proceeding in connection with the
illness of the dead Cardinal was the fact
that at the close of the New York South
ern Baptist's Association's meeting on
Friday evening, the day previous to his
death. Rev. II. M. Sanders, moderator,
"called attention to tbe dangerous ill
ness of Cardinal McCloskey, whom he
Ftyled one of the most eminent and
pious mn of tbe age, and asked that
prayer in his behalf be offered. He then
asked Rev. Dr. Elder to lead, and he
did, in a most touchiug supplication."
en. McConway, who was present, re
marked, "this is tbe best evidence of
the near approach of tbe millennium I
tiave ever seen." It certainly was a
most significant indication of the pro
gress of religious liberty and the growth
of tbe spirit of toleration, and would
have been impossible forty years ago.
Hell Gate is a narrow, rocky part
ot the East River, about one mile east
of Central Park and seven miles from
the Battery, or lower end of the city of
New York, and has always been a most
troublesome and dangerous obstacle to
navigation at the entrance of Long
Island Sound into the East River. The
rocky obstruction covers between six
and cine acres of the bottom of Ihe river
and tbe greater portion of it can be seen
above the surface of the water. Sev
eral years have bean spent by General
Newton, an engineer of the General
Government, in making the necessary
preparations for blowing the rock out of
the water, and at eleven o'clock on last
Saturday morning 280,000 pounds of
dynamite weie exploded in an almost
countlass number of boles drilled into
the rock. Thousands of people at a safe
distance watched tbe mighty upheaval.
Gen Newton's eleven-year-o'd daughter
touched the button that set free the
elecric current that exploded the sub
marine mine, shattering the rock and
liftiug it out of the bottom of the river.
The same little Mary Newton, when he
was only two years old, touched off the
first Hell Gate explosion at Hallet's
P..int, only a short distance from tbe
place where she stood on Saturday. As
far as it is possible to judge from the
position and appearance of the wreck,
the explosion has been entirely success
ful, though for the present the vicinity
of the blah ted rock will be even more
dangerous than heretofore and until
the wiet.ii Las Uec eulueJy retroted.
Governor Pattison last week ap
pointed Christopher Magee, of Pitts
burg, to succeed Judge Kirkpatrick on
the Common Pleas bench of Allegheny
county. Judge Magee will hold his of
fice until the first Monday in January,
1377. and at he election in November,
188C. his successor will be elected. All
the Pittsburg papers unite in saying
that Mr. Magee possesses all the quali
ties necessary for an ablo and satisfac
tory discharge of the responsible duties
of a judge, and on that account the Gov
ernor is to be commended for the wis
dom of his choice, and the people of Al
legheny county are to be congratulated
upon having as Judge Kirkpatrick's
successor a gentleman of acknowledged
capacity and fitness. There is also a
Christopher L. Magee in Pittsburg, but
of course no person will think for a mo
ment that Governor Pattison has made
a Judge out of him. lie is the Pitts
burg boss who ran the Republican Leg
islature last winter according to his
own sweet will. He takes his orders
from Don Cameron and literally carries
them out, but whether his success in
his line of business isn't more due to his
impudence than his brains we are not
prepared to say. If Christopher L.. and
Judge JCagee are cousins, as we have
been told they are, they were cast in
very different moulds.
It is an admitted fact that Mr. Cleve
land absolutely refused to interfere? with
the choice of the Democracy of New
York at their late Convention at Sara
toga for State offices. It has been a
long time since the same thing could be
said of a President in regard to the
nomination of a Governor in his own
State, and Mr. Cleveland deserves great
credit for his stubborn coo-interference.
Thrree years ago when Mr. Arthur
was President the nomination of Mr.
Folger, then Secretary of the Treasury,
for Governor of New York by the Re
publican State Convention, was engi
neered by the Administration at Wash
ington, but the people resented Mr.
Arthur's interference and elected
Cleveland over Folger by an unprece
dented majority. If Mr. Cleveland had
desired he could piobably have preven
ted Governor Hill's nomination, but he
kept his hands off and permitted the
Democrats of New York to settle the
matter in their own way. They nomi
nated Tlill almost unanimously on the
first ballot, and if they don't elect him
they must themselves bear all the
blame.
One of the features of the present
campaign in Yirgluia is without prece
dent. One day last week Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, was escorted into the county seat
of Russell county by thirteen nundred
and forty mounted Democrats. These
processions are the order of the day
wherever he goes, even the women tak
ing part in them, and when they turn
out in mounted processions it is high
time for Mahone to call upon the moun
tains of Virginia to fall iion and bury
him. Lee's colleague on the ticket for
Lieutenant Governor is a Methodist
preacher, "Parson Massey." as he is
called, who is one of the roost eloquent
6tump speakers in the State. He re
cently made a tcur in the southwestern
. i if .1 . . .
and spoke from the stump twenty five
times, preached eight times, married
one couple and traveled 400 mil?s on
horseback. He says he did not attend
any funerals, but hopes and expects to
be on band at Mahone's burial on the
3d of November, which he thinks will
he a big affair.
Last Tuesday was not a good day , or
what is called a "red letter" day for the
Democracy of Ohio, but on the contrary
a disastrous day for their candidate for
Governor and the balance of their State
ticket. The majority for Foraker, the
man who, when a boy, wore a pair of
tow trousers, just as eveiy other b y
did. is somewhere between ten and fix
teen thousand over Iloadly, acd a3 re
gards the Legislature, both parties this
(Thursday) morning are claiming it. It
is very close, but as Foraker and his
tow trousers have been endorsed, the
violent presumption is that John Sher
man and his bloody shirt have also been
endorsed, and that he will be re-elected
to the U. S. Senate, where upon a
salary of $.3,000 a year be has blossomed
into one of the biggest millionaires in
the country. If it should turn out that
the Democrats have the Legislature,
then tbe Ohio demagogue who was one
of the foremost in the conspiracy to
cheat Tilden out of the Presidency, will
be relegated to private life, a consuma
tion devoutly to be wished. The Con
stitutional amendment changing the Oc
tober election to the day of the Presi
dential election, was adopted by an
immense majority.
Captain Maretta, a former Dem
ocrat of Beaver county, in this State,
but for several years a resident of Da
kota Territory, was recently appointed
United States Marshal for that Territo
ry. He was in Washington a few days
ago preparatory to his return to Dakota
and stated that since his appointment
he had ieceive nearly a hundred tele
grams, more or less, from men in differ
ent parts of tbe Territory reading about
as follows : "I congratulate you heart
ily upon your appointment. Don't ap
point your deputy until you see me."
The latter sentence is like the post
script to a woman's letter, the most
important part of the missive, and gives
the Captain :'air notice of what is in
store for him when he reaches home.
He will have friends as thick as black
berries, some of whom he doubtless
never heard of t efore.
Of the election in France on last
Runday week, for members of the Na
tional Legislature, which resulted In
great and unexpected losses to the party
now in power, the New York Sin says :
The election resulted in the collapse of a
great party the party created by Garnbetts
which foiled the reactionary schemes of the
De BroRlio-Fourtou conspiracy, which forced
Marshal McMahou lo resign, and which for
the last eiebt years has dominated the Re
public. Its arrogant, wrong-headed, but to
all appearances unshakable, majority Is lost.
It will enter the new Chamber with a help
less, purposeless, hopeless minority, whose
weakness will be aggravated by iDtestine
jealousies, rancor and recrimination. Its
components will gralually dissolve, swept
toward the rlaht or toward tbe left by the
two main current of opinion. Henceforth
there are to be In France as was the caae
after the downfall of the Girondists only
two great parties, the Radicala and the Re
actlonlste, and hiah above the leaders prom

of Cleusenceau.
YFASlIlXfiTO LETTER.
From our regnlnr Correspondent.
WAsnrsroTON, October 12, 1&S5.
Congress will assemble in six weeks,
and the election of a speaker and the
organization of tbe committees will
probably be accomplished with less
trouble than at any previous Congress
for thirty years. Carlisle will be elec
ted without opposition, and, I have no
doubt, has already on paper the arrange
ment of the principal committees.
There is no reason why Congress should
not transact considerable business before
Christmas. If it shall succeed in get
ting a good start it will have more time
for deliberation and debate on the ap
propriation billi. The appropriations
to be asked for by the different Cabinet
officers will be considerably less than
has been asked by previous Republican
Administrations. Much has been ac
complished in the direction, of economy;
useless employes have been discharged,
leaks have been stopped, and thousands
of dollars saved in every department.
There is no reason why the debates on
the appiopriation bills should consume
more than two or three days each.
Heretofore they have been protracted
for a week or more and then hurried
throngh half made tip in the closing
days of the session. The delay in the
passage of the bills has been on account
of Democratic opposition to their ex
travagance and the jobs with which
they were loaded. But the Republican
minority in the lower horse cannot,
without stultifying themselves, oppose
the coming appropriations, for they
will be for smaller amounts than they
have often advocated and voted for.
All signs point to a smooth, business
like session, as far as the lower House
is concerned. There is probability of
considerable agitation of the tariff ques
tion, and possibility of surprises in the
sorineinir of new issues The Ch!nese
question is still unsettled, and the labor
question in its different phases is sure
to come up for discussion.
The Senate will, in all probability, be
a centre of srreater interest at the Capitol
than the House. Several Republican
Bourbon Senators have recently shown
their incapcity to learn or forget. The
delirium of Sherman has also a firm hold
on Logan and Hoar. They will doubt
less rave and rumble in the Senate this
winter. Not even time can teach old
Senators new tricks. The Republican
party is absolutely without an issue.
Sherman and his imitators know that
the old sectional bloody shirt romance
is more easily rehashed and is more
convenient for their party than the
hopeless task of defending its long rec
ord of official rottenness and corruption.
The even and conservative policy of
the President has lert the Republicans
without even the semblance of ground
for objection, and has absolutely forced
them to take the bloody shirt.
The President and his Cabinet afford
but little material now for newspaper
gossip. 1 hey are ceaseless in their ap
plication to their special duties, and are
giving a'l theri spare time to the prep
aration of their annual reports. Presi
dent Cleveland's candor is remarkable
to say the least, and he is now at the
White House. Hayes was sniffling and
insincere; Garfield was a gusher, pro
fuse in promises; Arthur was dignified
and exclusive, but Cleveland is what
some one has called 'brutally candid.'
During the last week several delega
tions have been told that it was useless
for them to visit the White House as
their wishes could not be complied with,
and a committee of Dakota Democrats
were very bluntly informed that a man
whom they came to oppose would re.
ceive the appointment he sought. But
the m is remarkab'e illustration of the
Presiden'tr candor is found in thecor
resporulnce that has just bvn pub
lished, regarding the telephone suit.
Under previous administrations such
a mistake as the Department of Justice
!??A.!e.l ',r t?.yvpjij(ljia.y.e .been..narjecled
but the President not only required the
At torrey General and his solicitor to
reconsider their action, but gave the
correspondence about it to the press.
There is something to admire in this
act of his, as well as in the prompt
ness with which Mr. Garland and Mr.
Goode assented to the wishes, hut thev
will receive no credit from the partisan
papers, which are always on the alert
for subjects of criticism, but never see
anything to commend. K.
"Dear Qnay: Don't Talk."
Detailed reports of Mr. Quay's "great
speech" on the tariff, recently delivered
at his home in Beaver, are coming m,
aid they will be sure to coroand wide
attention. There have been many great
speeches upon the subject, bnt this re
markable address of the alleged Repub
lican candidate for Treasurer is an ef
fort that shows profound ability on the
part of the author to make himse'f and
his par'.y ridiculous. It is stated that
a Democratic President "elected by the
vote of the State lately in rebellion,"
"fills the chairof Lincoln." According
to the record, this Democratic President
received, as the Constitution requires, a
majority of the votes of the Electoral
College, including the votes of Connec
ticut, New York, New Jersey Dela
ware, Maryland, West Virginia, Indi
ana, Kentucky and Misssouri, which
States never were "in rebellion," a
fact which makes M. Quay's statement
false as well as etup-.d. "Confederate
officers sit in his Cleveland's Cabinet.'
They also sat in the Cabinets of the
Republican Presidents Grant and
Hayes. "I believe there are no Union
soldiers in bis Cleveland's Cabinet."
Colonel Vilas is there, as the speaker
knows, and was, as he also knows, a sol
dier, and one who gallantly served at
the front and not chiefly in the commis
sary department at home. "Confeder
ate soldiers represent their country
abroad ;" they likewise did under the
administrations of Grant, Hayes, Gar
field and Arthur. Here is a series of
demagogic, misleading statements that
at once stamp Mr. Quay as a master of
the subject of the "tariff." When,
however, the speaker does touch upon
the subject he is equally absurd and
illoeical. "This warfare for protec
tion must be conducted against the
same adversaries." This in spite of the
facts, Grst, that most of the leading ex
ponents of tariff reform are Northern
men, representatives of Northern con
stituents and business interests, men
who are sent to Congress from New
York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, their
special champion having been a Union
soldier; and second, that many of the
most zealous advocates of high tariff pro
tection are Southern men and journals
men who were lately "in rebeliion."
And so it is with the whole o this 'great
speech'onthe tariff. When the speak
er endeavors to discuss the alleged ben
efits of protection he makes equal expo
sore of his weakness and folly. Gen.
Beaver should hasten that return note
to bis friend "Dear Quay : Don't
talk." rhilad'a Evening Telegraph

Cardinal Srl'kiskey Dead.
New York, Oct. 10. Cardinal Mc
Closkey died at 12:.r0 o'clock this morn
ing. He became unconscious yesterday
afternoon, and the nhvsici.ins nnnnnnrorl
j that he could not live through the night.
iiisena was calm and his last hours
without pain.
Cardinal McCloskey was born in
Brooklyn on the 10th of March, 1810.
His parents were both natives of the
county of Derrv, in Ireland, and had
emigrated to this country a few vears
before, bringing with them what was
deemed a sufficient amount of means to
btart at once in some business. Sagac
ity in business, industry and persever
ance were beginning to secure for them
a fair measure of worldly prosperity,
when the birth of this son brought joy
to their household.
John McCloskey was bap'.ized in St.
Peter's church by Rev. Anthony Kohl
man, S. J., who, with Rev. Benedict
Fenwick, S. J. (afterwards Bishop of
Boston), and Father Mallon. assisted
Bishop Connelly in the ministry of the
church. The child of such parents
coold scarcely be other than religious
and bright. The Cardinal gave a
charming reminiscence of those early
days when in a sermon in Brooklyn he
pictured that sweet Irish mother lead
ing her little boy by the hard on Sunday
morning down to the strand of East
river Brooklyn had no wharves in that
day and crossing the stream in a row
boat or in the primitive horse ferry, that
they both might attend mass in tbe lit
tle red brick church on Barclay street.
i ne noy was sent to school at an early
age, and schoolmates of his who still
live speak of him as a gentle, delicate
lad, who avoided rough play and studied
hard, always retiring and modest, ever
in a good humor, and whatever his class
did, always pretty sure to be at the head
of it. His father, proud of the progress
his son was making, and desirous of
giving mm every advantage that a
Catholic youth could then obtain, de
clared his intention of sending him, as
soon as his age would allow it to George
town College, of which Father Fen
wick. to whom the family had become
much attached in Nev York, had be
come the President. But this was not
to be. In 1820 Mr. McCloskey died in
the prime of life, but not until he had
secured a competence for his widow and
infant children. Father Fenwick, too,
had left Georgetown College, having
been sent by the Archbishop of Balti
more to Charleston, s. C, not yet an
episcopal see. Whether throngh the
recommendation of frieuds who already
had sons there or because it was thought
that the pure air of the place, the out
door exercise of an almost country life,
and the amount of "roughing it" una
voidable in those early days of that col
lege would do much to invigorate the
frail constitution of the lad, or for other
reasons. John McCloskev nnr vat t
years old, bnt advanced in studies be
yond his age, was sent to Mt. St. Ma
ry's college, near Emmittsbnre, Fred
erick county, Md , in the autumn of
1S21. In this college John McCloskey
went through the full curriculum of
studies lasting for seven years. The
piety and modesty of his character, his
gentleness and sweet disposition, the
enthusiasm with which he threw him
self into his studies and his prominent
standing in class won for him the ad
miration and esteem of his teachers and
the respect and love of his college mates.
He closed his coMege course m 1R2S,
graduating with the highest honors, and
returned to his mo'her. then living in
Westchester connty. He then decided
to enter the priesthood, and returned to
Mt. St. Mary's, where for four y?ars he
pursued the theological course.
On January 12. 1S34. tho order of the
the priesthood was conferred upon him
in St. Patrick's Cathedral. In 1835 he
went to Rome, where he came in con
tact with the students of the Eiuelish i
and the Irish college under Dr. Cardi
nal Cnllen. He returned to New York
in lS3.-. became pastor of St. Joseph's
chu.ch. and in 143 was made coadjutor
to Bishop Hoghes.
On March 10, 1844, his thirty-fourth
birth-day, he was consecrated a bishop.
He then took charge of the diocese of
Albany, and succeeded Bishop Hughes
at the latter's death. On March 15,
1S75, he was created a Cardinal, and
on April 27th of the sime year the
boretta was conferred upon hirri at the
old cathedral.
Hoyt on Qcay. The election is

is proving very disastruous to the cause

Men of all shades of partv feeling can
not forget the sense of burning shame
that overwhelmed them when a few
days before the election of 1882 Gov.
Hoyt, with a courage worthy of the
situation penned the following :

which puts politics above administra

Cardinal Wolsey that he had not served
his God with half the zeal he served his
