TUESDAY EVENING, OCT. 18, 1881.
Tammany HalL
Xobedy will deny that the Tammany
Hall organization of New Yerk is be
having very well under the provocation
it received at the state convention in the
rejection of its delegates. It does net
matter greatly te Democrats outside the
state whether or no the convention was
right, since its decision has occasioned
no rebellion in the Democratic ranks,
and se will net, as was supposed, endan
ger the success of the Democratic state
ticket. But it is a matter of great grat
ification te Democrats everywhere te
witness the geed temper and self-control
of these Tammany Hall brethren ; for
it cannot be denied that they have strik
ingly exhibited these characteristics,
whether they be right or wrong in their
issue with the state Democracy. "When
we are wrong we are mere apt than
when we are right te lese our self control
in a controversy ; and se these who be
lieve Tammany Hall te have been right
fully excluded from the state convention
must all the mere yield it their applause
for its quiet submission te what it un
doubtedly believes te be an inju
ry. Rebellion is such a prevalent
habit in politics, and Tammany Hall has
achieved such a wide reputation for stiff
neckedness, that its present meekness is
very noteworthy. It may have designs
that de net appear en the surface. It
may even be, as its enemies charge, that
it fears te show its weakness by open
rebellion.- But, whatever the cause, its
demeanor is wise and laudable. In
giving its support lb the state ticket
nominated by a convention from which
its delegates were excluded, aud in nom
inating for district attorney of New
Yerk city a distinguished Democrat
from the ranks of that portion of the
party with which it is at variance, it has
done much te rehabilitate itself in Dem
ocratic regard throughout the country,
whether its conduct was prompted by
magnanimity or only by cunning. It is
a sort of cunning which we can cordially
recommend te Democrats te always
practice when placed under similar cir
cumstances of mortification. Te yield
te the majority in the party, when no
principle is involved and it is simply a
question of what geed Democrats shall
be voted into office, is a notably wise
policy in a minority ; who will find their
Vindication in time if they are right.
Tammany Hall encountered great
odium among perhaps a large majority
of Democrats when it rebelled against
the election of Gov. Robinson, who was
Mr. Tilden's candidate for governor, and
whom it opposed that his presidential
aspirations might be crushed. Grave
charges were made against Mr. Tildcn,
which, if true, rendered him unworthy
of the presidency, and in the opinion of
many geed Democrats amply justified
Tammany Hall in opposing in every
way the success of his ambition. Its
policy is still a mooted question ; but the
defeat of Hancock for election following
upon the defeat of Mr. Tildcn for the
nomination, it may fairly be said turned
the hearts of most of the Democrats,
who looked net beneath the surface
in their indignation against Tammany
Hall, which was charged, strangely
enough, with defeating Hancock,
who was its own choice for
the nomination. That odium it bears,
however unjustly, among many, if net
most, of the Democrats of the country ;
and such Democrats rejoiced at its late
humiliation. Undoubtedly then it needs
rehabilitation in Democratic regard ;
and the efficient steps taken in that di
rection just new by its managers show
great wisdom, whether, as we have said,
they are inspired by a high-minded devo
tion te the party or simply by a knowledge
of its expediency. It is fair te say en this
point that the manifestoes of its leaders
breathe a very geed spirit and proclaim
the sinking of their grievances in their
devotion te their party. And it is te be
said, tee, that the organization, as the
eldest association of Democrats in New
Yerk, and one which has expressed the
Democratic voice of the city since the
birth of the Democratic party, wields a
power which will net be readily annihi
lated, and which wise and honest guid
ance and a true registry of the popular
voice will always conserve.
It was carrying the war into Africa
with a vengeance when last night Mr.
Wolfe invaded the home of Field Mar
shal Cooper and addressed the largest
political meeting ever held in Media, in
his usual vigorous vein ; while in return
for the compliment Mr. Chas. E. Smith,
the brilliant and eloquent editor of the
Philadelphia Pns, assembled around
him a great crowd of Wolfe's friends
and neighbors at Lewisburg, and told
them why they ought net te give him
their support,' but should turn in and
vote for the niacin no candidate. A
funny incident is told of the Wolfe meet
ing when leaning ever his desk, immedi
ately below which the Bess chair
man had taken a position, the Indepen
dent Republican candidate declared in
his peroration : Every one of them and
Tem Cooper, tee, are the representatives
net only of stalwartism, but of riot bill
rascality, pardon bill infamy and asso
ciations that should make an honest man
blush." At this juncture of the pro
ceedings the field marshal's countenance
is represented as wearing the expression
of an undertaker who had lest his whole
family.
It would net be Ireland if it was net
always in a ferment. We de net pretend
te thoroughly understand the Irish ques
tion, but we de understand that the
English government has made very large
concessions te the demands of the ten
ants, whose alleged grievances create all
the commotion, and that these conces
sions are rejected by the malcontents
without trial of their efficacy towards
the redress of the evils of which they
complain. This is manifestly unfair ;
and the fact seems te be that no conces
sion will satisfy the agitators short of an
agrarian distribution of the land in fee
te the tenants and the ejection of the
landlords, neck and hecls,frem the coun
try. The American Irishmen before
fhey send their cash and their sympathy
te such a cause will probably consider
whether they would like te destroy the
rights of property all the world ever, or
whether in this corner of it, anyway,
they would net like the law te protect
them in possessing their own.
TnK Philadelphia citizens' Committee
of One Hundred appear te have done a
very proper thing in endorsing for the
city commissionership two such estimable
men as Charles H. Krumbbaar. a Dem Dem
eccat, and Hampton P. Carsen, an
equally reputable Republican ; but as is
pointed out by a Philadelphia newspaper
of such thoroughly independent proclivi
ties as the Recerd they should have gene
farther. Nothing reasonable steed in
the way of their giving a positive
endorsement te Majer Veale, the Deme
cratic candidate for recorder of deeds, a
gentleman of undoubted fitness for the
efhec, and whose qualifications and
deserts constitute a loud call en the
Committee of One Hundred, if they pro
pose te stand up te their principles. The
Ilccerd further shows that whilst the
committee ewes its existence te the in
sufferable evils of Republican rule in
Philadelphia, it ewes all its victories te
the solidity of Democratic support. It
has gained no laurels worth the wearing
except these obtained in the election of
Democrats te office. There is no ether
way te break down the machine except
by Democratic co-operation. The sin
cerity of the committee's devotion te
real reform and opposition te ring rule
could have no better vindication than in
an endorsement of Majer Veale's can
didacy. Ne exe will deny that Mr. Tyner's
friendly iclatiens with Brady and the
star route thieves were tfie controlling
influence that induced President Ar
thur's summary removal of that func
tionary. Hew deeply the late first as
sistant postmaster general was implicated
in the frauds against the government
developed by the recent investigations
in that direction is net clearly known.
But it is known that he it was who put
Brady in the influential position that
enabled him te manipulate the mail con
tracts te his own pleasure ; and at all
events Mr. Tyner's career, whether in
running the campaign in Indiana, the
ultimate result of which was the putting
of President Arthur in his present place,
or in his conduct of the postal depart
ment, has never been such as te inspire
confidence in his honesty and integrity,
and his displacement will be hailed with
genuine satisfaction by geed people of
all parlies.

that the principals te the Beirnc-Riddlc-bcrgcr

feuud insufficient for the throng who at
teuiicii ami an attempt was maue te raise
funds for the erection of a larger, finer and
mere desirable edifice. A large sum of
money has been pledged and new the in
tention is te carry out the project of re
building aud erect a memorial church
which will be both a place of worship for

JjEttkk-wiutine m Germany aud
France is about en the same plane of ac
tivity, se far as the postal statistics supply
cvnieuce, and is very far below that of
Great Britain or of the United States. The
number of letters carried in the impsrial
mails in 18TS was 521,000,000 and the num
ber carried in the French mails 446,000,-
000. Allowing for the larger population
of Germany, the two countries would be
about equal in the matter of letter-writing.
As te telegraphing, the amount of busi
ness is still (in proportion te population)
in favor of Great Britain as against our
selves ; while Frauce auu Germany occupy
about the same position as they de in re
gard te mailed letters. Spofford's almanac
gives the total number of telegraph mes
sages in 1880 as fellows : The United
States 33,000,000, Great Britain 26,000,000,
France 11,000,000 aud Germany 15,000,000.
But, in order te be en an equality with
Great Britain, in proportion te population,
our telegraphic messages should amount
te 37,000,000. But the most remarkable
statement of all is that the number of
railroad passengers carried in Great
Britain exceeds by four te one the number
carried in the United State3, aud that the
freight traffic is also in the same enormous
proportions.
The Washington Republic is net appar
ently overjoyed by the election of David
Davis te the Senate presidency, as may be
gathered from the following remarks te
which'it gives vent touching that occur
rence. Says Mr. Ramsdcll in his own vigor
ous way : " What assurance have the Re
publicans who elected him that he will
Inet bite the hand that caresses him ?
He
has done it before and therefore is obnox
ious te suspicion. With him in the chair
dare the Republicans attempt any pro
ceedings of party policy ? Can they be
sure that the man they have elevated will
net vote en occasion te advance the cause
of their opponents? If they have any
doubt of his liability te be " independent "
let them read one. sentence from his -remarks
en taking the chair : " If it carried
with it any pledge of party obligation I
could net accept the high position." Pray,
in what is this mau better than
Mr. Bayard ? By accident or in caprice he
may vote with the Republicans new and
then, but who can say he is te be trusted
by the party he has se often betrayed'?
In Bayard we had a man who could be
trusted trusted te always vote against
us. A dozen open enemies are better than
ene uncertain friend. If the election of
Davis shall help the Republicans te elect
the secretary of the Senate and the execu
tive clerk (the chaplaiu is net insisted
upon) the act was net wholly in vain. It
is idle and trivial in ether respects." That
last observation is a charming reproduc
tion of the celebrated opinion of Hen.

MAJOR DBENEVAN ABROAD.
His Travels in Italia, Austria, Hungary
aud tierinauy What He Saw and
Wliat He bays.
Frem a Private Letter.
Hetel Cestikmtal,
3, Bus Castiguese,
Paius, October 5, 1SS1
My Deai; Mokten : I think my last
letter te you was from Switzerland. If se
I have since been through Northern Italia,
Austria, Hungary and Germany. My
tramp of about three thousand miles gave
me au opportunity of visiting all the prin
cipal cities, watering places and objects of
interest. Having pleasant company and
geed weather I could net well help but
enjoy my trip ; the pleasure of which was
greatly augmented by my having the
geed fortuue of being at a number of places
during the time of fairs, fetes and illumi
nations, bringing together great crowds
of people in their holiday attire, which
enables euc te form a much better idea of
the maimers, habits. customs aud costumes
of a country than by seeing them at their
daily drudgery, which mere than any thing
else appears te make all the world akin.
Did I have the time I might write you a
long letter of the many objects of interest
iu almost every place I have visited, but
de net shudder, I shall net afllict you in
that way. Every peiut has been described
te you time aud time again by abler pens
than mine. Se I shall only notice a few
points commencing with Northern Italia,
aud here I shall, emiting all romance of
lakes, mountains and climate, simply refcr
iug you te Buiwcr as being thoroughly re
liable. Italia appears te be taking a new
lease of life, under the wise and liberal
policy inaugurated by Victer Emanuel
and continued by his son, King Humbert
1st. She is making great strides in ait,
science aud manufactures. The grand ex
position of Italian productions, new being
held at' Milan, is a surprise te all
who visit it. In silks, sculpture,
paintings, jewelry, glassware and
and mosaics, it cannot be surpassed. While
Milan has been crowded ler months with
visitors interested in the productions of
Italian aitists aud artisans, Venice has
becn equally crowded with the scientific
world at her World's Geepraphical conven
tion and exhibition ; se you sce there is
some life left in Italia yet ; and, although
she may never again be a great nation,
I cannot but think her star is iu ascen
dency Frem Venice a ten hour's ride en
the Adriatic brought me te Triest, in
Austria. It is a busy place of about
twenty-five thousand and growing rapidly ;
Austria has been quite a study te me ;
with peer credit, paper currency,
her young men all in the army, aud the
women doing most of the work, she shows
mere evidence of wealth aud progress than
either France or Germany. It is ccrtaiuly
se iu the cities. Vienna with its one aud
a quarter million population is one of the
grandest 'capitals of Europe, rivaling
Paris in the grand ure of its buildings and
improving much faster. On the " Ring
Strasse" I ceuuted iu a short distance, six
new buildings going up, net one of which
.ecupied less thait a block. They were
for museums, theatres, university etc.
Vienna may net have the glare of Paris,
but it has mere music, mere art, prettier
girls and better beer. The next largest
city in Austria and ene of the most inter
esting te visit is Buda Pest the capital of
Hungary. It is about thirteeu hours by
beat en the Daunbe from Vienna, and a
charming ride. Pest, or Buda Pest, as it.
is mostly called, retains mere of the orien
tal manners and ctibtem?, and its inhabi
tants rcprcscnt.mere types than perhaps
any ether European city. At Dresden I
met au old acquaintance, Mr. Masen, who
is the American counsel theic, and a clever
one he is ; while sitting iu his office he re
ceived a dispatch from the American
minister at Berlin, announcing the death
of President Garfield. Wc at once
held a consultation with the ether
Americans present, and called a
meeting of all the Americans in Dresden
for the next afternoon at four o'clock. At
the time appointed wc had about forty
ladies aud gcutlemen present. We had a
few speeches and passed suitable resolu
tions. I don't think I ever was present at
as sad a meeting as was that littlu band
of Americans four thousand miles from
home. Dresden is the great art centre of
Germany and has ene of the finest picture
galleries iu the world. Yeu can walk
through it in three or four hours, but
could net sec all the pictures properly in
a month. The collection of porcelain in
the museum aud the porcelain factory is
also of great interest. As I have been
through the three great porcelain facto
ries of the world (Dresden, Berlin aud
Sevres) I will seen be able te appreciate
the value of a cracked tea cup when
pointed out te me. But here I am at the
end of my time aud letter aud net one
third way ever my trip. I will finish up
in my next. I have had six weeks of hard
work and will settle down for a iittle rest
when I expect te go te Italy agii: and de
up the southern cities.

The Pepe, in his address te the Italian
pilgrims at St. Peter's, Sunday, stated
that the deplorable state of affairs placed
before him the alternative of enduring
continual captivity, made harder daily, 'or
of going into exile. He therefore asked
Catholics te watch and pray for the liberty
and independence of the Pepe. He con
cluded by saying that he was no longer
secure in his palace ; that he was outraged
in his person and dignity in a thousand
ways. The gravity and earnestness of the
Pepe made a profound impression. He
closed his address with his arms raised te
Heaven as though imploring help.

lO A. M.
U. S. Tobacco Journal.
Our market has dwindled down te a
mere shadow compared with its greatness
during the past six weeks. The cause lies
in the stiffness of holders, and, te a cer
tain extent, decrease of fine wrappery lets.
Prospective buyers staud aghast at the
figures that are being asked forfiue goods,
and even with the absolute certainty of no
return te iewer prices for a long time te
come, they are leth te succumb te the in
evitable. Ne new feature was apparent
duriug the week which might tend te
change the market. The reports from the
country are raore positive daily that the
'81 crop as a whole, will ue': exceed that
of '80 ; Pennsylvania again claims te have
raised the "finest" of all crops that ever
her "soil produced. Connecticut and all
the ether states are, as usual, equally san
guine in this respect. At auy rate, se far
as can be judged new, the '81 crop is, if
net a success, net a failure.
The sales of the week are : Pennsylva Pennsylva
niaCeop '80 : 1,001 cases, ranging as
high as 22 cents.
Connecticut Crep '80: 700 cases, wrap
pers as high as 45 cents.

The Weed en tlie West Urancli -The
Jersey Shere Herald says : The cul
tivation of tobacco en the West Branch is
assuming great proportions, and it prom prem
ises te be at no very distant day a leading
branch of industry, second iu importance
te the lumber iutercst. Fer a long time
an impression prevailed that this country
could net produce a geed article of te
bacce. There were, we confess, various
reasons why this impression should exist.
Interested parties were engaged in decry
ing the product and our growers, who
were novices, se te speak, had net yet
learned hew te euro and assert it properly.
Hundreds of cases of the very finest to
bacco were sold for a mere song, taken te
the'eitics, resorted aud repacked, aud sold
as Lancaster tobacco, and in some in
stances it is believed tobacco grown here
has been shipped back te cigar manu
facturers in this section at au advance of
from 20 te 30 cents of the original cost.
The soil of the West Branch valley, es
pecially that portion lying between Wil Wil
liamspert and Leck Haven is particularly
adapted te the growth of the weed. Lan
caster county, which is the great tobacco
county of the state, docs net produce a
finer article. Its soil is strong and its
growth of tobasce is large, aud the pre
duct in many instances is excellent, but, if
wc arc net mistaken, no limestone region,
however fertile, will produce as line an ar
ticle as the sandy alluvieus. But the
farmers iu Lancaster understood the art of
curing tobacco and asserting it, and herein
was the sole cause of the increased value
of their product.
The Lecal Market. .
The past week h is been a very quiet
one in tobacco circles. Dealers from abroad
have gene home, and comparatively few
sales arc reported by the local buyers. A
great deal of the crop is sufficiently cuied
te strip, but the weather is unfavorable
for the purpose ; besides, the heavy buy
ers of jireen leaf have given orders te the
grewers net te strip tile crops they have
purchased until after there shall have
been a heavy frost.
In 1880 leaf there have been bales dur
ing the week of lets aggregating about 400
cases ; and there is a report, lacking con
firmation however, of the sale of another
packing of 600 cases. Operators fight shy
of the high figures new ruliug, and buy
only that which they must have for im
mediate use.
