SENATOR EDMUNDS 'represented the
loyal sentiment of the country, and de
serves its gratitude, when he denounced
the. attempt to put a young Maryland
rebel. into a paymastership. There are
plenty of loyal men to fill all the places in
the army, and they should be selected to
th'e exclusion of those who turned the
.arms of the government to its attempted
destruction.

BAYARD, at Dover, Delaware, June 27,
1861, which is full of treasonable Copper.'
he utterancps, and opposition to put
ting down the rebellion by force of arms.
No party could succeed with a record such
as Senator BAYARD has made, in this
speech, however much he might now dis•
claim the sentiments then uttered, and
his candidacy is out of the question. In
this way TILDEN removes one by one,ffie
obstacles in the way of his success at tin
cinnati, and Oen that body has done its
work the Democracy wilt be obliged to
rally to his support as their candidate for
President.
THERE Vial a gathering of Democratic
lepresentatives the other night at Wil
lard's Hotel, Washington, and of course
there was an imbibing of large quantities
of "old rye." Congressman HILL hav
ing had. more than his share, inadviirtant-
ly announced that the Democrats intend
ed to inaugurate their Presidential candi
date, whether elected or not. For this
indiscreet utterance, the soberer Con
gressmen present, "shut up" the honor
able gentleman. as being a leaky vessel,
though his offence was in being too full.
THE Republican State Coniention of
Vermont, met on Wednesday of last
week, and presented Senator Eout:NDS as
its first choice for President, declaring
that "his candidacy would be of itself a
declatation of principles and the 'sign of
success." There are no abler nor purer
men in the country, than Senator En--
/SUNOS, and the party could rally to his
support shoUld he be nominated, with
enthusiasm and confidence in the result.
Indeed, when we have such en array of
available and distinguished, names from
whir.) to select our candidate, there is no
reason why there should be anything but
a proper even if zealous advocacy of their
merits and claims.
WE haie repeatedly called - attention to
the attempt now being made by the Horse
Committee on Elections to give the Dem
ocrats the control of the Minnesota dele-
I:a4on. Mr. Coximixo, in his able speech
at ttica, estmes the" plot and points out
the intended result to be accomplished by
it. If WASHBURN is thrown but the Min
nesota delegation will be in the bootie: . of
two Democrats. If the election of 'the
President goes to the, - House, then the
Democrats will have 20 delegations to 18
that will be in the hands of the Republi
cans. The Democrats can elect their man
by a vote of the House in no other way
than by stealing at least one State. It .
seems to us that the bare-faced attempt
of the Democrats to.do, this supplies the
strongest possible proof, and alarming
proof, that the party is making ready to
steal the Presidency.
THE DISTRESS IN IRELAND
The distress in Ireland is wide
spread and severe, and the latest ac
counts afford evidence that the Suffer
ing is likely .to increase and to con
tinue for months, or at least until the
soil can bring forth its products for
the Support of the peasantry. There
are dreadful narratives of starvation
which are, well authenticated, and ap
peal very forcibly to the sympathies
and charities of the benevolent. That
a country so , situated as the . Grein .
Isle, should be the theatre of a fam
ine which attracts the attention of
the civilized world, is perhaps ano
malous, and our people can hardly
believe well-founded the story of its
hungering population, nor the cir
cumstances which justify, much less
demand assistance outside the British
realm. The 'people of this favored
_land cannot understand why the
. British Nation, with its immense
wealth, is not able to take care of
the Irish; so comparatively few in
numbers, living upon such small ter
ritory, Ny lien crops fail, and why in
the mid 4 t; of such opulence and lux
ury, there should be not only penury,
but aetnal ' death . from starvation.
The recent discussions in Parlia
ment have shown not only the failure
, of the, government to properly esti
mate the magnitude of the suffering,
and to provide the proper remedies,
but that even the present state and
future prospects have not been. suffi
ciently investigated or
,considered.
Lately however, official reports are
conclusive as to the existence ef great
distress and give some help towards
an understanding of the cause. Not
only has there been less land under
cultivation in Ireland than at any
-former timeduring the past ten year's,
but the yield per acre has also been
much less. The crops have been de
ficient by about one-third of a ,ten
year's average.. In the potato har
vest, 'however, the deficiency has
beenfar more than this. In round
numbers, two-thirds of the potato
crop Lave been lost, and only one
third bas been gathered fn. The
figuree i show exactly what this loss
means. The average potato'erop for
three years ending 1576 was Valued at
.V 3,250,000.. For. 1579 it is .valued at
£4,,312,000,. and this in spite of the
famine 'prices which always prevail
at a time of exceptional scarcity.
The continued dependence of many
of the people of Ireland on the po
tato as a main article of diet is to he
deplored for every reason. It ac
customs them to a low standard of
living which allows little or no Mar
gin for reduction in bad times, and it
.teaches them to lean on an uncertain
and treacherous support which is sure
at no long intervals of time to fail
them almost entirely.
There is room for great and 0:1 7
vious reform in the land laws of Ire
land, and Absenteeism unquestiOnably
has Much to do with the distress
which now prevails. 'rue chafity.of
the. benevolent may afford temporary
relief, but a permanent cure can only
come from wise and 'liberal legisla
tion, and from a system whi'c'h will
relieve the tenantry from the- grasp
ing oppression of those who hold the
title to the soil, and who have appar
ently, no sympathies in common with
the farmers. Meanwhile as each fresh
tale of hunger and death comes to
this countiyi it excites not only the' ,
indignation of those who have left
Ireland for Our shores, but appeals to
-the proverbial benevolence oP. our
people, and 'the. purse-strings are
opened to send to the famislatig the
food which is to save life. While
Patriek!and Biddy =are sendingtheir
ebeeiful:gifts:from: their hard earn
ings, with_many a generous thought
for those whom they have leftbehind ;
in the begs of Conamaugh or Tip-,
perary, the wealthy and tbe pour
alike are contributing to relieve the
sufferings in that ill-fated land, whine
soil shou:d never -km* a pauper, and
where if justice was done, hunger
could never come.
TUEMIONROE DOCTBI*E.
The discussions in reference.to - the
building of a ship canal across:the
Isthmus have brought prominently
into notice what' is known as the
" Monroe Doctrine " and the news
papers and Congressmen are consid
ering its applicability to the scheme
of M. DELEssErs . to mike the Canal
under .a foreign grant,' with foreign
capital and to be controlled by for
eign influences. The fla - rm is given
that it is an attempt . by a foreign
power to secure a foothold and power
on the American continent, and con
sequently, opposed to the policy of
this government, and fraught with
great danger to its peace and pros
perity. This feeling is created, prob.
ably, in a great measure by rival in
terests, for selfistvand mercenary pur
poses, as the French schemes antago
nizes other plans, and.while the feasi
bility of the proposed route is severe
ly attacked, yet the argument used
to secure the intervention and oppo
sition of both the- government and
the people of the United States, is
the assertion that it is a contraven
tion of the principles of the Monroe
doctrine, and consequently full at
peril. Just what this famous doctrine
is, we presume is not i clear to many
of our readers. In fact, it is an un
defined and indefinite quantity, which
may be asserted abstractly, but which
practically will never be determined.
It was originally declared by Presi
dent MONROE in his message to ,Con
gress on the 2d day of December,lB23.
In referenm to' the dispute which
had arisen 'with England in regard
to the N'ortlrvestern boundary, Presi
dent MoNao. said : "In the discus
sions to. which this interest has given
rise and in the arrangements in which
they ma'S , terminate, the occasion has
been judged proper for assserting as
a principle in which the rights-and
interests of the United States are in
volved, that the American continents,
by the free and independent condi
tion which they have assumed and
maintained, are henceforth not tofibe
consi„dered as subjects fur future col
onization by any. European power."
The d.octrine was again expressed
and cilaborated in the same messag9
when; touching upon the relations of
Spain and Portugal in reference to
their rebellious South American'
colonies, and the recognitidn of their
independence. The. following em
phatic laneuage was used : "We
owe it therefore to candor and to the
amicable relations existing between
the 'United States and those powers,
to declare that we should consider
any attempt on their part to extend
their system to any portion of this
hendiphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety."
The gist of this principle may be
summed up to mean, that no Europe
an power shall meddle with the gov
ernments already existing, or estab
lish colonies on the American conti
nent., This doctrine which is un
doubtedly sound and proper was a
mere statement of policy in a Presi
dential' message, but it meets the
temper and determination of the
American people, and should the oc
casion ever arise, which is. extremely
unlikely, would be enforced. It It is
difficult for the ordinary mind, how
ever, to understand how the cutting
of a canal across the Isthmus, is any
violation of the principle thus laid
down. It is simply and purely a
commercial enterprise in every sense.
If foreign ' , capital .comes forward to
qundertake and complete this inagnifi=
cent and gigantic undertaking, let
foreign capital do it. There is not
the„slightest danger of "foreign
41onies" tieing established, not the
ghost cif peril to our institutions, nor
to thei peace and security of_ the
country.' The great benefits to flow
from its construction will be largely
shared by our commerce and it will
materially add to our business pros
perity. The canal should be made,
and no dog-in-the-manger foolishness
should be allowed to stand in the
way of its speedy-completion.
THE Republican Conventi‘On to elect
delegates from the State of New York to
the Chicago Convention met Wednesday
of last week at Utica. The BLAINE men,
who Were led by Senator FORSTER and
General Cutms, asserted the right of
the districts to name delegates, and it was
practically conceded. When resolutions
recommending General GRANT were pro
posed, Senator CONELING made an able
speech in theirl favor, designed to make
all the delegates feel that they would be
in - honor bound to abide by the decision
of the Convention. Senator FORSTER
moved an amendment namingdno one,
and on a division it was lost by a vote of
217 to 180. Subsequently 'several anti=
GRAN r men delegates decided to go with
the majority. A motion that, in case
GRANT i 8 not nominated, the delegation
be instructed to vote for BLAINE, was
laid on the table. After naming the del
egates the Convention adjourned. There
was lively skirmishing throughout the
day, but in the end good feeling and har
mony prevailed. The delegates-at-large
are Senator Ccommso, Gov. CORNELL,
Gen. ARTHUR, and J. P. WARREN, of
Buffalo. The action of thej Convention is
differently , estimated, according to the
feelings and desires of the' critics. The
- GRANT ;men accept it as a substantial
result for their candidate," while the
.friends of BLAINE profess to derive com
fort from an tinexpeeted display of
strength in the Convention. While there
are many ardent supporters of BLAINE in
the list of delegates,, we see nowhere an
intimation that it would be decent or
proper to disregard the instructions of the
Convention. That sort of political -mo
rality is exclusively confined to Penns} 1-
OE
Tanta. The Convention in dealing with
the third term question; dispute d of it by
declaring "that the objection to a third
Presidential term applies only to a 'third
consecutive term, i and bitterly inapplica
ble to the re.elec;ton of Gen. attANT, wbo
is and has been ' private citizen, absent
from the country, destitute of . all Presi
dential or official innuenee or patronage,
and whose election must be try the people,
unaided by those influences which alone
can give force, - if any there be, to that
objection."
CoxonEss has been in session , three
months, and but little or no progress made
in passing the bills which the business of
the country and the necessary' expenses
of the government require. The . Demo
cratic majority has. Periistently avoided
the considerations of measures of publics
importance, through sheer cowardice.
The announcement at the commencement
that "quick work and a short session" -
was to be the policy has proved an empty
boast, and the dominant party has fought
shy of anything .which might lead to die
cuesion. The leaders are fearful that
they cannot hold the impracticable Briga"
diers in check should the floodgates of
debate once be opened, and that the coup:
try would be alarmed and aroused should
the views and desires of the party be al
lored free expression. A political debate,
the shrewder and more cautious Demo
crats are weltaWare. would ruin - all hope
of ele4ting a Democratic President, and
they are carefully guarding agitinst such
a danger. Political clouds, however, are
gathering, and to prevent a violent parti
san debate on some of the points involved
is the appropriation hills will be imp,ossi
hie. 'rue Republicans are eager tor the
fray; and when the time comes will pur
sue an aggressiie campaign tovarus their
opponents. ,
THE Virginia Legislature by an almost
unanimous vote, has passed a bill repeal
ing the Moffett Bell Punch liq"or law,
and establishing a license system to go
into operation on the Ist- of May. The
Legislatute has also passed the bill "To
Re-establish the Public Credit," which
reduces the principal of the State debt to
$20.000,000, and fixes the rate of interest
at three per cent. The - nieasure was
carried by the Readjuster and Republican
votes. It is - believed the Governor will
interpose a veto ; but should he allow it
to become - a law, it must libe 'st.timitted to
the people for ratification in November
next.
ON the Ist of •March the interest-bear
ing debt of • the' Utiited States amounted
to $1,770,212,850 . ; the total debt, includ
ing accrued interest, was $2,191,463,874,
or $14195,112,221, if 'we deduct the cash
in the Treasury.

OCR CANDIDATES.
HON. HENRY GREEN, the Republi
can candidate for Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court, was born in
Wari en county, New Jersey, in 1828.
His father was a native of Easton,
Pa., however, and was one of the or
iginal settlers of that place. ' Judge
GREEN was educated at Lafayette
College, and after graduating in
1846, he studied law with Judge
WASHINGTON MCCARTNEY and vas
admitted, to the Northampton cdiin
ty bar in 1849, and since then, until
last'September, when he was appoint—
ed to the vacancy upon the Supreme
bench occasioned by the death of
.Judge WOODWARD, • he has practiced
his profession uninterruptedly. Judge
GREEN was a member of the State
Constitutional convention in 1872-73,
and this is' the only public pOsition
he ever held. He was several years
the law partner of -the late ANDREW
REEDF,R who became famous as Gov
ernor of Kansas in the ante-bellun
days. An indication of his high at
tainments as' a lawyer was furnished
by the fact that for years previous
.to September last, he was employed
as counsel for the Western Union
Telegraph Company, the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad Company, the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company, the .
North Pennsy in
lvania Railroad Co
pany; and other large' and influential
corporation's ) , and• his time was V i -s,
most exclusively occupied by the I
gal_ interests and litigations of these
corporations. Judge GREEN is' the
peer of any man upon the bench, and
will add to its honor, learning and
dignity. He has been a staunch Re
publican since the organization of
that party, but he has never been R
working politician. He sat in the
first National Convention of the par
ty—that which nominated JOHN C.
FREMONT for the Presidency in 1856.
Since his appointment to the Supreme
Court bench, Lafayette College, at
Easton, has conferrerd upon , him the
honorary degree of Doctor of Laws.
lion. JOHN A. LEMON, of Blair
county, the Republican candidate for
Auditor-General, was born in Cam
bria county in 1832. He was reared
as well, as born among people inured
to labor in mines and mills, the fur
naces and forests, and has teen from
early life closely identified with the
great coal, iron and lumber interests
of the interior of the State. He re
ceived a fair common school educa
tion and until his entrance upon po
litical life was employed in buisness
as a coal operator and a railroad con
tractor. He has often been urged to
become a candidate for political of
fice, but steadily refused to accept
any nomination except that of bur
gess of Hollidaysburg, ' in which lie
served for three 'years. In. 1872,
however, he accepted the Republican
nomination for State Senator in the
Bedford, Blair, Fulton, and Somer
set district, and , received a unani
mous election. Three years later, in
1875, he was returned to the Senate,
for one year, from the. Democratic
district of Blair and Cambria, by a
majority of 447, and one year later
was agained returned for four years
by a majority of 842 over a .popular
competitor, leading him in Blair
county by 2,063 votes, while the ma
jority, for Hayes was but 819. These
figures saint a striking indication of
his.great personal popularity in the
Democratic stronghold in which he
makes his home, and, where he is well
known for his genial
_character and
open-handed liberality as well "as for
his sound'Reimblicanism.

A great revival is now in progress in
the Wharton Street Methodist Church,
of which Rev. M. Stevens is pastor. One
thousand conversions is reported. A day
had been set apart for an occasion of re
joking. Merchants deserted their count
ing-rooms and brought their-clerks with
them ; tradesmen remained away from
their shops, and housewives consigned to
the care of the nurse the little ones, and
with baskets heaped to overflowing with
food for the body, hastened early to the
sanctuary, where they might all partici
pate in the general season of thanksgiv

The rapid advance in the price of iron
within the last year is something unpre
cedented in the history of that pivotal
trade. In this country the ..best foundry
iron, which on the Ist of January, 1879,
was sold at $l7 a ton, was fast week quot
ed at $4O a ton. Domestic steel rails
brought $42 then, and now sell for $B5.
The chief cause has been the remarkable
impulse given to railroad building last
year. More miles of new railroad were
laid in 1879 than in any year since the
memorable 1872, when the enormous
number of 7,340 miles Were constructed.
'The total's:as 4,430 miles in 1870, against
2,910 in 1878, and 2,301 in 1877. After
the Ist of April, the Iron and Steel Asso
ciation expects to see our homy produc
,tion equal to all demands, yet large con
tracts for foreign iron ore have been made
for the year, and the importation will
probably reach 500,000 tons.
William Snyder, twenty-seven years

while ho was in bed. He had been ill for
some lime, and ,was harassed by fears
that he was going to have the small-pox.
He had declared that ho would rather die
than thus be afflicted. Allis illness . , is
thought to have deranged his mind.

Friday afternoon, about a quarter past
two o'clock, the store-keepers and mer
chants on Third street, between Race and

plosion, which.sounded like the report of
a Krupp gun. The cause of the great ex
plosion was soon apparent, as houses in

• The report of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, jest published, may be
summed up as followS: The main line
and branches between Philadelphia and
Pittsburg show as net income, after de..
ducting interest on debt, with all other
expenses, the handsome sum of $7,482,-
480, an increase of $1,158,015 over the
preceding year. The New Jersey lines

however, must not be confounded with
the net income. The profit of all -lines

times, and displays an unconqueiable

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASIIIIITON, D. C.. February 28. 1690
The Housei has parsed the Star Mail.
route deficiency bill, but in a greatly
modified form and with only one-half the
amount called for: The Senate will amend
the bill, and it is thought will increase
the amount. And it is to be observed that
the increase is called for by the Demo
cratiC members, who cry out for economy.
The Postmaster General has backed
out of his position towards the lottery
gamblers, and i now says there is .no evi
dence to show that the Louisiana Compa
ny, the biggest of the lot, is objectionable
to the rule laid down. This sudden turn
astonishes everybody, atri there are dark
suspicions expressed as to the causes of.it.
Istotwithstanding the very startling dis
' closures promised by the Voorhees com
mittee, the colored people of North Caro
lina still insist upon emigrating to Indi
ana, one hundred and fifty emigrants
having passed• through her on Thursday
for that State. This is not so remarkable,
however, as the fact that iu spite of the
testimony of several Democrats before
the committee, t lat the emigrants can
find neither homes, work nor food in
Indiana, none-of them have yet returned.
Have they been starved murdered, or
sent to the almshouse? Senator Voorhees
ought to investigate this mysterious af
fair. His investigation so far is one of
the biggest humbugs among the many
perpetrated by the Democratic investiga
tors.
I meant to correct an impression that is

The French people, who are trying to
control the; canal project of .De Lesseps,
give out that be is an engineer, which is
not the fact; the capitalists of this coun
try who are expected to back hiin up will
govern themselves accordingly. Of course
his success depends upon people believing
that he is - competent to do a great engi
neering work, and they should not be
deceived as to that, nor as to the fact that
what the European wants is to get a foot
hold on American soil.
