THE TRADE DOLLAR BILL .
Philadelphia Timcj: The bill for the
retlremsut nnd recoiunge of the trade
dollars, as fiually reported to theSenato,
would bo better if it confined itself to
tho oue subject. It pvovides iu sub
stanoe that all unmutilated I rail a dol
lars shall be received by the Treasury in
exchange for nn equal number of stan
dard silver dollars, nud that the trade
dollais so received hVi.ill be regarded as
ko much bullion nnd shall be recoined
into btauiurd dollar., being counted as
ix part of the bullion irqnired to be cur-
chased aud coined under the act of 1878.
Tins Is entirely sound, sensible nnd
plain and ought to be enacted without
ueiaj.
After this the bill then takes up the
subject of silver colunge generally and
authorizes the l'resldent to renew ne-
ROtlations with tho States of the Lilln
Union and other foreign powers for the
re-establishment of a double standard.
In case these negotiations fail and of
their success mero is not tuo mibuusi

There is no objection to an interna

coinage, and it is not probable that
tlon, why make the suspension of Iho
silver eoinaRO contingent upon I he ro
suit of a year nnd a half diplomacy? The
eolnage of the silver dollars ought to be
stopped nt onca.
If wo can get the rest of tho world to
ngrce to n common ttnndard thero will
be time enough to resume. There is no
eUnaer of the stook of silver dollars run-
ulnji short meantime, but thero Is very

Special to the Cihnos Advocate :
Is is a perilous thin; to be a great man
not only in New York, hut in any part of
the United Eletes. A week ago while tie
senatorial fight was pending, most of the
papers In Ilia ciiy were bowline. "Why
lon't vou select a man of character, a man
of calional reputation, a man of brains, Ac.
,..,,..,. disgraceful .Mr,- would he

Calf? Well the representatives of the people
did juei what they were asked to do they
Uvarts. Now behold the result; no sooner
is it known that Mr, Eyorts is selected for
this high honor, than the verr papers that
wero foremost in advocating his electioDj
turn right about lace Mid set up a cry,
"Disgrace ol the public service, triumph of
monopoly. Win. M. Everts, the foe of the
poor man, the friend of bloated corpora
tioni;" and a uotorious paper repreients
hint assurrouuded by all the most ollensivo
monopolists of tbe city. lam not ot all
suipriecd that General Cass said, "He ncr
er knew how great a scoundrel he was, till
he ran for the l'lctijency." It is not at all
surprising that the public seryice is fre
qucutly abandoned to Thugs au4 thieves,
who have no character to lose, and that
It
Is difficult to Cod a self respecting gentle'
man willing to tun the muck ofourun
clean political arena.
Just three weeks ago, from out of nearly
lourleen hundred thousand people, Itollin
M. Squire was selected as Commissioner ol

the pouderous Hubert O. Thompson, and
he has waxed fat thereon, the waist ban

eyes were cast on this geulleiiisn's rich

Land, Tbi fight wsi tbo most protracted
and bitter that we hare had for many
years, and It resulted In the overthrow of
Tammany. Rollin M. fcqiiiro was selected
as tho only men who could give satisfaction
to all rarlles. Everybody bad triumphed.
Tammany had succeeded. The County
I)mocracy was vindicated, and Irving
Hill knew that It was not left out In the

for all agreed that wo had an honest man.
Now comes a revelation from San Francis
co which makes us wish that a millstone
had been tied about our necks, and that we

half of what is said of him is true, wt will
pray fur the return ol the old Tweed gang.

that at the close of the preieut Commis

his official integrity.
Owney Geohegan has crossed tbt sty.x
and the Grand Army of Roughs and Plug
ugtiesisono stout soldier less. It la diffi
cult for an outsider to imagine a ruffian in
a large city with a well organised police
living outside the pale of the law. Yet
this did Owney Geohegan for years, and in
the Old Houso at Home on the Bowery, he
bid defiance to tho authorities. To seo the
Old House at Homo In all Its glory you
had to visit it about midnight then -the
piece was full ol ruffians and thieves who
felt quite seciiro from the Intrusion of the
police. A men who had not served it term
or two in States Prison was regarded as of
no account, and there wero plenty in the
crowd wbo were nblo to boast of having
passed half their lives behind stonewalls.
Kesnectable burglars, liko Jim Irving, Por
ter and' Dan Lynch', never dropped Into
Owney 'i; ii was sacred to the ruffians who
knock unsuspecting traveler oyer the head
with a sandbag, -or perpetrate a masked
robbery at midnight. Brutes who pound
each other into a mummy for twenty fivo
dollars and a champion's belt, found here
congenial friends and backers; and yet a
strange figuro was he who sometimes stood
behind the bar, ana cf whom the whole of
that desperate crowd stood indresd. He
dealt out the deadly poison at his own bar,
but he never drank himself; the place- was
dense with smoke, but no tobacco coned
the lips of Owney Geohegan. He was not
a man of many words-and was seldom
seen to smile be had to friends or confi
dents, nor did he seem to care for any. Al
ways neatly dressed, if you met him on tbe
Bowery, you might havo imsgined him
some respectable merchant or bank clerk.
It was an understood thing with all thieves
at Owney's that they wero not to exercise
their jiecullar talents inside the limits of
his bailiwick; and it was his constant boast
that a man's watch or purse was more se
cure in the Old House at Homo than it
would be in a bank or church, Owney was
a politician and a power in his ward, so
that the police, whom he fed handsomely
for their silence, were not inclined to make
a complaint. Savage assaults were of night
ly occurence, and many men were killed
there; iut Owner still held the fort against
all comers. At laetalter years ol successful
ruffianism Owney fell into tbe clutches of
the law, and being convicted was sent to
Ulackwcll's Island, Tbe sentence broke
bis heart, and l.e never was the same man
after. TJisouee et in and the gladiator wLo
could have whipped bis weight iu wild
cats, becamo a wretched driveller rolled
about by a black boy in a chair; the muscles
that were onco like ironbecame soft and flab
by as a child's; his mind broko, and so with
no living soul to mourn him, with no hope
hero or hereafter, the ruffian died. We
aye another sample brick, Billy McGlory,
I am In hopes beforo long to write his
obituary-
The sensation of the week in fashionable
rcles has been tbe arrival of Lord bar
movie. All New York is in a flutter, I
meao that portion of it who only live by
tho light of a reflected nobility. What n
thing it is to be a loidl If it were not for
title there is not a second class grocer or
rygoods clerk who would notice him. Es
scnlially a snob.of snobs, be seems io yatun
himself for himself; and to look down on
the plebian world as though it wes a diffi
cult thing for him to live in it. Miss For
tescue is to be congratulated in getting fifty
thousand dollars in exchange for his Lord-
hip; for he is about the dearest fifty thou
rind dollars worth lobe found In Her
Majisty's dominions. Wo haye seen Gar
maylo, and now for Foitescue sho will be
worth guidon ducats to him who brings
her here. From a financial standiioint I
ould sooner have one Furloecue than a
been Garmoyles, and from the very hand
inn endorsement which liir Lordship has
given the lady there is no good reason
wbv she should not he a social ts well as an
rlistic success.
The enterprise and genius oflhe New
York reporter and bis thorough reliability
were admirably illustrated Ust week by
one of the minor city journals. On Mon
ay night the slu;gcr Sullivan met the
slugger Ryn, and eleven thousand dollars
hard cash was the finsucial result. It was
not much of a mill, and it is with grief
that I state neither got his ne ck broke; no,
not even a black eye or a battered nose,
hut they got away with the money all tbe
same; two days after, the enterprising re
potter got up an account ol a private meet
when they came together to divide the
funds "Ryan rushed at Sullivan and hit
him on the nose. Sulliyan countered on
Ryan they clinched and wrestled all
round tbe room, smashing the furniture
and completely wrecking the place. Paddy
Eechan and a number of friends rushed in
and parted them after a desperate struggle,
when eaeh, badly used up, was carried to
bis hotel. That is not bad for a circum
stantial account, but the fact is that Mr
Ryan and Mr. Sullivan never saw each
other that day they did not meet to diyidt
the funds; it was done by personal friends,
and the report of tbe battle is a literary
monument the check and invention of the
enterprising New York reporter.
The polar wave struck us heavy this
week, and tbe thermometer was like bus!
ness almost at sero.

FROM WASHINGTON
3rell to the Uauboh Aptooatc
Washington, Jan, 24, 1855,
President Arthur will leave bis list re
ception, which will be to the publio, as
late In Febrnary as possiblo so it will be
somewhat In tbe character of an official
leave-taking. There Is no little form and
ceremony nbout tbe manner tbe invita
tloDsare extended for these Presidential
reooptious. The President first of all
Invites the ladles of the Cabinet to assist
him In receiving, nud then tbe Secretary
of State presents the compliments of tbe
President to the Diplomatic Corps and
begs tbelr presence. Cards sre tent to
members of both Houses of Congress aud
the Secretaries of War and Navy request
tbo attendance of offloers under each de
partment by rt simple announcement In
tbe newspapers. Bat the few who havo
tbe most complimentary iuvltattons are
tbo women who write for newspapers
hero nnd who naturally think It a Held
day when thero is n reoeptlon nt the
White House,
It is stated here, upon tbe highest
authority, that tho conferences which
have occurred up to tbts time between
Mr. Cleveland nnd prominent Senators
nnd othorj, have in tho main been direct
ed to questions of pnDlls policy, and
with tbe object of giving htm that In
sight iuto the details of national ntlaira
which be could best obtain from those
who had figured long and well In all snoh
matters, and further that no place In his
Cabinet has yet beeu promised the state
ment of bis principles and Intentions
made In bis late Civil Service letter to
Goorgo William Curtis was known by
him to be in full accord with the views
of the most prominent Democratic slates
men with whom he has consulted nnd he
hsu good reason to believe that In the
declarations thero sot forth be will bo
sustained by poweiful Democratlo In
fluence In the Senate.
Somebody has said that Senator Bayard
feels that Senator J?eudleton is so well
fitted to carry the. portfolio Secretary of
Sla'to that bo is willing to do what bo
can to. have matters that way. A good
many more think tbe same thing, as the
Pendleton family is- the ideal one for
such a position; They have wealth, &
decided social. position, and the manners
of Senator Pendleton are exactly those
of Secretary Prellngbuyben dignified,
polished and suave, but capablo of un
bending with lightning dexterity when
tbey want to do so, The question was
asked lately of one who has close personal
relations with President Arthur, why
Mrs. Bayard and her dausbter never ap
peared in the list of ladies invited to as
sist at receptions at tbe White House,
whilo Mrs. Pendleton was rarely If ever
niiosiug from such ceremonious gather
ings. The answer was that tbey wero
invited just at tbe families of other
Democratlo Senators, and that tho Presi
dent ucyer made distinctions In making
up theso lists, so far ns politics went, but
that tbe Bayard's never accepted.
Tho season is n week or two shorter
this year than last, and tho time for do
ing all this visiting is naturally shortened
also. As an Incentive to ladies of ordin
ary standing, it might be observed that
tbe daughters of the Secretaries of State
are assiduous in not neglecting ns'nglo
name on a list unmbering hundreds, and
nre busy every afternoon, no matter
whether it be wet or dry. in fulfilling
this obligation of courtesy as well as
etiquette. Tbo first ceremonious calls
of tho season over, everybody is presum
ably supposed to- know everybody else,
and society runs smoother. Mrs. Blaine,
by the way, is one of tbe many notable
ladies who have called every afternoon
since coming here. She has made it n
custom for several yorrs to remain nt
home afternoons after four o'olock to see
her friends instead of keeping to a cer
tain day, as it naturally restricts tho
uumber of ber callers to older friends.
Washington is considerably crestfallen
over tbo fact that she has neither room
for the strangers wbo are to corns here to
take iu tbe Monument dedication and the
Inauguration, nor balls for the accommo
dation of tho people who desire to bear
the oration on tbe first occasion', or to
trip tbo light fantastic toe on tbe second
Tbe new Pension ball will furnish many
n first class case of pneumonia unless
the weather should provo remarkably
mild, as It will be next to impossible to
beat u huge brick building while it is io
a half finished state. I see. by the way,
that the new Presldeut is getting bis
baud, or rather his foot, in bv attending
a series of ball performances at BofTilo,
though it is said that Grover can't dance
for peanuts. In fact, Mr. Arthur and
Mr. Van Bnreu have been the only
Presidents wbo possessed the faculty of
going through the mazes of an ordinary
quadrillo. Grant took' lessons in danc
ing at the White House, but for all that
he never could dance.
An astute newspaper correspondent
here mculions tbe nama of Ctpt. John
Ericson for Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of
tbe Navy. This looks like putting young
blood into the now administration, in
deed Captain Ericsou is now eighty.oue
years old, but nevertheless probably ns
vigorous as many a Cabinet officer of
modern days. I have always thought
somehow that this country baa never np
pieoiated tbo great service that Captain
Ericson has performed for us, nor have
we shown ourselves gratefnl to blm for
tbe personal sacrifice be made for us in
building nnd fitting ont that gallant lit
tle cheese-box that revolutionized tbe
world's ideas of maritime warfare, when
she knocked out the bugs "Merrlmao''
in nbout tbe first round. Had tbe peo
ple bad tbe opportunity on that March
morning In 18G2 they w-onld have show
ered such honors upon, Ericson as no
mortal had ever reoeived, for ho bad
demonstrated the fact that we were In
vlucible agaiust any foe upon tbe water
with tbe Mouitur, and tbe army at ibe
West bad shown Itself abundantly able
to take care of itself on land. Captain
Ericson has been at work in all these
years, since the war closed, in perfecting
other maritime engines of destruction
the last of which is tbe "Destroyer'
from which five bundroi pounds of dy
uamtte in one mass can be thrown under
water with tho most accurate aim, nod
with perfect safety to the vessel from
which it ts uuried. f or coast aeience it
is as perfect a means as human ingenni
ty can devise, ana wouia ne irresisuui
agaiust tbe attacks of tbe combined
navies of .Europe, inere is no numbug
about this, aud because there is not it is
not a( all likely that Congress will look
tbe scheme to aid capt. uricson in build
ing his vessels, wltn any sort of com
placency.

Tbe old State Is up to the average in

Montana is yet a territory with hopes
of early admission to Statehood. Co
Harris is the commissioner, and he
brings a splendid display of ber natural
productions. Although Montana Is cot

display of ores is superb and nttracts
universal attention. The arranging of
these exhibits" was done by John Nye,,
nn old pioneer of tbo mining country,
who knows rock where beseesor handles
it. Some ornaments of Indian origin
attracts much attention. Ia this display
there are some fine texidermy speolmens
shown.
South Carolina, with A. P. Buttler as
commissioner, bas gotten up its exhibits
in good shape. The guano manufactory
of Wilcox, Gibbs & Co., whs show n

trrprise that has done much to enrich
Charleston. Tho ngrionltural produc

Though it does cot claim to be an ex

very creditable displays of bo:ue produc

commands a good price. Specimens are
on exhibition.
Many of the relics of the Greely relief
party have been placed on exhibition in
tbo States department. Dummies are
dressed up iu tho clothing woru Vy tbe
men, and the old tent they used is erect
ed, while tbe entire campiug outfit ts on
yiew. Tho small boats from tho Thetis
and Bear, which first reached tho Greely
Bufferer havo been placed vith these
much-viewed curiosities. It is hard to
realize In n land where snow Is unknown
what suffering nnd dcth tho Greely Re
lief exhibit represents.
On Sundays tbe Exposition Is largely
'tended, the entrance fee being then re
duced to 25 cents. Ou n fine day tbcie
are liabln to be filly thonsand present.
There is everything to C03 as on any
weekday, except the working of tho ma
chinery, which is always shut down on
Saturday night till Monday morning.
Tbo Commissioners and members of
tha press aro unanimous in urging their
respective legislatures to make extra op
propriations to carry out the successful
exhibit of each State nnd Territory. Tbe
necessity for money Is evident to keep
tbe exhibit np to Us present standing as
many articles are perishable, consequent
ly tho pride one bas in bis State or Tcrri
tory should encourage each and all to ed
yocate tbe contribution.
Wbeu you take into consideration the
fact that the different buildings cover 02
acres, or ono third moro than the Cen
tonnial and that the Park in which they
are located aud which is cow enclosed
composes about S00 acres. You can see
bow hard it is to extimato tbo daily at
tendance, nnd tbo management refuse to
rnako public tbe daily receipts, for what
reason your correspondent is unable to
state.
At firtt it was feared that tbe means of
transportation between tbe grounds nnd
Canal street, theceutre of tho clty.would
not be adequate to accommodate the
public, but so far no inconvenience bas
beeu experienced. By certain lines you
can go the whole distance for one fare
5 cents while by other lines It costs two
fares or you enn by a round trip ticket
over tbe different "Rapid Transit'' lines
on tbe river for IS cents, and extra hosts
and cars will be added as tbe travel d-
mands.
