The excuses of tbe bard money men who were suddenly converted to soft or paper money at the Erie Democratic Con vention, are frequently amusing. One of tbe leading members of tbe Convention, whom we met a few days since, said his mind bad been changed within the last three months, and that he now believed greenbacks were the best currency in the wor'.d. When tbe Republicans first intro duced the greenback currency the Demo cratic sneakers, at their meetings, called tbetn worthless rags, and some of them de clared that they were of no more value than the badges worn by the men in procession. We expr-cted that they would sooner or later have their eyes opeued and acknow ledge the Republican policy correct, but we did not expect thai their Convention would adopt that policy as the main plank of their platform. But we should not be sur prised at any policy that modern Democra cy should see tit to adopt. After selling out the party, and party principles to the friends of Greeley iu 1S72, and adopting the white coaled rhilosoplicr with all his isms, as their caudidate, they could hard ly surprize us with any movement they coulJ make. Shades of Jueksou ! How wonderful are the exploits of modern De mocrats. The Becton niiut drops arc now discarded, and the leaders of the party in their electioneering tours will now 6tua their pockets with greenbacks instead of gold dollars, which they formerly jingled befnre the voters. Frank IIugiies, of Schuylkill county. made speeches in various parts of the couu try daring the war in behalf of the Demo cracy. We hear Mr. Hughes then assail the government iu severe terms, and denounce the currency it was Issuing in the shape of ."greenbacks" and declared that the time would come when '"a bushel of them woulJ not buy a bushel of potatoes 1" Mr. Hughes wns chairman of the committee on resolu tions at the Democratic couventiorrat Eric, last week, and he there reported and had adopted a resolution ursine an entire greenback circulation for the country. We arc glad to see that Mr. Hughes and bis Democratic brethren have a better opinion of greenbacks than they had when this currency was a vital question iu the pre servation of the Union. It doesn't look as if they so much disliked greenbacks then as they were auxious to embarrass the government iu its ability to carry 6u the war to put down the rebellion. Tue attempt to run Judge Pershing in as a reformer because two or three county officers were convicted iu his court the other day of stealiug is a little bit prepos terous. The offenders were prosecuted by tbe District Attorney of tbe county and they were convicted by the jury. Judge Perching simply imposed upon them the sentence provided by the law. If be had been one of tbe most corrupt men on earth, be could hardly have done less. Each one of the jurymen has a belter right to be regarded as a reformer than the Judge has, lor they convicted the men and the Judge didn't. - -The Domocratic convention at Erie, last week, after an unprecedented struggle among tlunfactions composing it, nomina ted Judge Pershing, of Schuylkill county, for Governor, and Victor E. Piolet, of Bradford, (or State Treasurer. The nomi nations are regarded as a defeat of Senator Wallace, whose favorite for Governor was Judge Ross. The only resolution of im portance adopted 'by the convention was one in favor of a "greenback" curreocy. which may seem very strange to those who remember how virulently the Democracy fought the greenback issue as unconstitu tional when greenbacks were necessary to carry on the war lor putting down treason. Tbe proceeding of the convention through out were characteristic of political trick sters ravenous for office. The Democratic party is not an organi zation to be noted for its consistency to principle. Wlieo it was powerful, and Jed by such men as Benton Buchanan, Ac, it was an out and oat hard money parly, having as great a horror of paper money as the devil has of holy water. Buchanan argued that the laboring roan was better oft" with hard money, if his labor under it would command only ten cents & day, than he was when receiving rnucti higher wages paid in paper ; and Benton, in his enthusi asm for gold and silver circulation, drew a picture of these precious metals coming floating up the Mississippi. And only a year ago, our Democrats, in their State convention at Pittsburg, passed a resolu tion pledging their determination 'to secure a return to specie payments at the earliest period that resumption can be affected with safety." But, presto change ! at their last week's convention, under the lend of Frank Hughes, who heretofore proclaimed his convictiou that the time was near at hand when a "bushel of greenbacks would not buy a bushel of potaioes," au unlimited supply of greenbacks was demanded. Now whether sjecie or greenbacks are the best for the country's welfare we are not now going to discus, but surely no respect can be bad for tbe declarations of a party which shows so little principle and so little understanding of what is best for the pub lic good, as to be on both sides of so im portant a question as this financial one in w short a space of time. Lebanon Owr-iff. TriK Democratic Convention. Tbo X. P. Herald, a paper which has always been on the side of the Democrats is dis gusted with the Democratic Convention at Eric, last week. It calls that body "the convention of political tramps and vaga bonds" as. says : "The platform is ao insult to every American who believes in the sacred ness of the national honor. It is a platform which means repudiation, because the policy it supports is a policy which looks toward repudiation. It will so result unless the good sense of the people should defeat it. Instead of uniting with the Democracy of New York and the East, who have showu themselves in every trial resolute iu sup of the national honor, who stood by the Union when it was threatened by treason, Pennsylvania" Democrats, under the lcad ershipof the worst men in the party, go wandering after the wild, hare-brained fanatics of Ohio and the West. When we look over the names of the men who controlled this Convention we are E'infiilly reminded of those Pennsylvania mocrats who, during the war, did so much to bring disaster upon the party and dishonor upon its record. Those men are political tramps and vagabonds. It is fit ting that a resoluiiou which practically means repudiation should be championed by that noted tramp Francis W. Hughes, of Schuylkill. If tbe Democracy of Penn sylvania ban been true to the proud legend of their State, that it is the keystone of the Union, they could have doue more toward reviving national credit, strengthening the confidence of foreign covernments in our financial integrity, aiding the administra tion in funding our debt, and, in the end, bringing to our burdened people the sure blessings of specie payments and a sound currency, than any other State in the Un ion. But the old Bourbon Copperhead politicians, the tramps and vagabonds who nourished during the war, have taken pos session of the party. A platform was adopted that is an insult to every Ameri can." That enthusiastic Democratic sheet, the X. Y. Tnbmie, represents the conveution to have been a howling mob, more like a gathering of shouting inebriates than a deliberate body of representative men. Tbe Tribune says : "The rag-money resolutions were receiv ed with cries of "Xo, no," which were speedily drowned by loud and strident yells, a manner of expressing their feelings that appeared to be peculiar to the infla tionists. These yells were as aggressive and unreasoning as the cries of maniacs." "Cheers and yells of exultation on one side were met by angry cries and a chorus of bowls on tbe other. Bedlam never of fered such a scene as the Convention pre sented for a few minutes. A hundred members were screaming at once something that nobody could understand. Some mounted on the seats. Others jostled each other iu the aisles, and all, including the officers on the stage and the few spectators who lounged in the galleries, helped to swell tbe din." And even the Philadelphia limes has something to say not complimentary to the dignity of the body. Alderman Bill Mc Mullin was one of tbe bhoys in the con ventionv and he made bis muscular abilities command the respect of the President of the convention. A motion at one time was made to adjourn, and the President declared it carried, and was about to leave the chair, and as the limes says : "He had hardly turned round, however, before Mr. McMullen, of Philadelphia, and a dozen more rushed from the body of the hall, surrounded the chair, and for a few minutes it looked as though its arbitrary occupant would be hurled bodily from the platform. 1 hen it was that Joan Miller, chairman of the Stato committee, announc ed from his private box on the left hand of the stage, that the rights of the delegates should be protected ; that if the president did not at once resume his seat ana proceed with the business before the convention lie himself would take the chair. The chair quailed before the storm he had raised, and resuming the iusigula of office, the gavel. raped for the convention to come to or der." AVheo papers friendly to the party are compelled to give 6ucb accounts of the pro ceedings of tbe conventiou, those proceed ings must have been disorderly indeed. KESlMi'TIOX. A Democratic Absurdity Made Mani fest. The Wilmington Commem'alsays : Now let us look at t he probable conse quences, if the nation remains pledged to resume ou January 1st, 1879, and if the effort to do so is houeslly made by govern merit and tieople. There is a margin to day, of sixteen percent, between tbe value of creeuback notes and of money. This margin must disappear, to effect resump tion ou the date named, in a period of three years and a quarter, or at nearly the exact rate of five per cent., per annum. Such decline in gold, or more correctly, appre ciation of paper, can certainly produce no great shock of itself, when wc remember that tbe fluctuations of the gold premium in a single year have been much greater than the reductiou now to be made in three and a quarter yeais. In 1HG5, gold de scended from a premium of 1281 ou the 1st day of January, to 45 on the last day of December, a change, in one year of 73 per cent., or a rate of descent more titan fiftten times as rapid as is now proosed ! In 1SG;, there were variations during the year of over forty per cent., goid quoting as high as G7 j, and as low as 25, the actual decline of the year being from 44 j to 33 or more than twice as great a fall as tbe aver age which is required now to reach par in iu 1870, So in 1SGS, the fluctuation was from 35 to .10 ; in 1800 from 24 to 30 ; and in 1870 the premium dropped to 19 and then to 10, there being an actual decline. between the beginuiog and end of the year, of ten per cent. These changes, so fur in excess of what is now needed to reach re sumption, caused no panic, no crash, no disaster. Tbe panic did not come until 1873, the gold premium having been, since the close of 1970, fluctuating but a few per cent. The Cndemoeratle Democracy 1'ennnj lvania. of The Democracy of Penusylvauia has de clared for an inflation of the currency. For the first time iu the history of the Democratic party the Democrats of an Eastern State, in convention assembled, have declared themselves in favor of paper money as against specie, and have recom mended the inflation of our currency. They have squarely and unanimously in dorsed the theories of the Ohio inflationists and they have done it at a time well calcu lated to strengthen the latter. This is lit tle short of a revolution ngainst all the fundamental principles of the Democratic party, and against all the measures hereto fore adhered to by the party, under all cir cumstances. It is neither more nor less than an abnegation of Democracy by a se rious number at a most serious time. Before this issue, all other issues sink in to insignificance. The welfare of the peo ple is bound up iu it. The honor of the nation is bound up in it. The security of our trade is bound up in it. The opera linns of all our commerce arc effected by it ; and, in the struggle of parties, it looms up ns the deciding question of success or failure, according as sense or madness shall rule at the deciding hour. It is well therefor to calmly consider the inevitable effects of the inflation of our currency, which means simply an Indefinite increase of tbe debt of the nation, the indirect inter est on which must mean an increase of taxation of tbe poor through an increase in the price of all the necessities of life. An increase of the currency means a placing of tbe purse of tbe nation in the bands of the administration, to whom the dissemination of that paper must be trust ed. This is undemocratic. This dissemination can be effected only by expenditure in public works of some kiud or other whose need Is not now appa rent, and which, if the need were apparent, should be met by the people where the need exists not by the Central Govern ment. Here again it is undemocratic. Thus an increase of the currency would mean an increase of Government extrava gance affording, as heretofore, full oppor tunity for the rich to become richer, and for the poor to become poorer, as has been the effect of the issuance of paper by the Government since such issuance first com menced, resulting in the sufferings for which fools seek a remedy in this iuflation. This is a seeking to eject arsenic by taking a few more doses of the same poison. In this it is undemocratic. Inflation means a dishonest and dishon orable reduction of the value of every pro mise to pay of our Government which is now held by the people. And again in this it is undemocratic. Inflation means another departure from the constitutional theory that gold and sil ver are the ouly Legal mediums of fmau cial exchange of this Republic. And iu this it is undemocratic. Inflation means increased temptations to the corruptions already created by paper money and against which, in State and in Federal administrations, the Democratic party has been fighting for the last four teen years, and against which it now is fighting. Inflation, by making the administration the perfect possessor of the pocket-books of the people, means utter centralization, lor where the money is their is the final power and in this inflation wars with the very fundamental doctrine of Democracy, indeed with the very Constitution itself, and shad ows a complete change in the spirit, if not in the very form of our Government A man can no more be a Democrat and an inflationist at the same time than be could be at once a Rebel and a Tory during the Revolution. All the collateral theories of government that go with inflation are antithetical to Democratic principles. They mean in creased inequalities between the rich and the poor, the destruction of frugality, the rendering chronic the spirit of reckless ex travagauce : first in the Government, then in the people. We saw atteud the issue of the first Governmental currency, fashioning that very character in the people which best fits them to a willingness to surrender liberty for the sake of pecuniary protec tion. We hold from all this that, in this mat ter, the duty of the Democratic party is as plain as the sunlighL No matter what the consequences to it may be, no matter what political losses it may thereby be led tea porarily to incur, no matter who fails from it or who opposes it, it cannot recede one inch from the platform of the principles on which it was born : "Hard money, and self rule by each comiuuuity in the land," Let it be understood by every inflationist in every State that the regular Democratic party of the land considers him no more of a Democrat than it considers Boutwell or Morton one. Let it be well understood in every State that this plank in the Ohio and Pennsylvania platforms is repudiated by the geueral party throughout the country, and that the Democracy will fight al! who run on it as eagerly as they will fight every Republican. If beaten on that Democracy will be Democracy still. Wedded to vic tory with inflation, it were Democracy no more. I rom Vie Lrooklin Eayle. The "Neareity or Money." Nothing is more common thau to hear thoughtless persons tsay that if the curreu cy were increased iu volume tiroes would be far better, and more business would be done, and there are a great many people who believe that there is truth iu such a statement. It only needs an examination to discover how groundless it is. The plea for more currency is put forth in the supposed interest of those who want tbe means of engaging in business. The point with these is how to get these means. The wealth or capital of the country con sists of its accumulated surplus. This is property, not necossarily money, but pro perty of one kind or another. The value of property is in its prrxluclion. No matter what form property may be in, it must be employed in some way or it deteriorate ; it decays, rusts, wastes, weakens, is eaten up by taxes, and is destroyed if not used. The owner of property, therefore, must use it. He must hire or reut it to others, or exchange it. If it lie laud, or buildings, or merchandise, or live-stock, he must put it to some use. The man who has a house and lot hires or reuts it to some one who has no such house and lot and needs them, the contract being that at the end of a stated time the property shall be restored, with a certain amount of other property, in the form of money or otherwise, for its use. Here is an exchange ot proiierties. The owner hir8 his house, his property,to another man who iu turn pays for its use in a stipulated amount of his property. If tbe tenant be a shoemaker, grocer, or fur niture-maker, he cither pays his rent iu kind or cod verts his property into cash and pays the latter over to the owner. It is an exchange of properties. If money be used in the transaction, it is a mere agent in the exchange of commodities. If a farm er, having no sheep, purchase 500, he ex changes therefor, with some neighbor, beeves, horses, hogs, or corn ; if the owner of the sheep does not want either of these commodities, .then they arc sold to some olher person who docs, and the mouey received therefor is paid over for the sheep. In either case, the transaction is an exchange of commodities, an exchange of properties, which properties are the ac cumulations of the rcs)eclive parlies. The same is the case where labor is employed. The one man exchanges his labor for boots, clothing, food, or fuel. If he does not re ceive these articles directly iu exchange.thc employer conrerts some property of his into money, pays it to the laborer, who forth with exchanges the money for the commo dities he needs. So iu transportation. So in every branch of trade aud commerce. The only property never exchanged is mo ney. That is, meu do uot buy gold with gold. The use of money properly is to facilitate the exchange of other proiterties. A has coru aud wants to excaugc it for dry goods ; B has dry goods, but does not want corn ; C wants corn, but has no dry goods, though he has leather which B wants to purchase. So C sells his leather to B for a hundred dollars ; C pays the hundred dollars to A for his corn, and A pays the money bock to B for dry goods. Here are three exchanges of commodities, the money serving inertly as an agent in the transaction, and finally tcBting where it started from. Nothing in the end was bought or sold, or changed hanged hand?, i but the corn, leather, and dry goods. The money, was an equivalent value and a me dium of an exchauge, but not the ultimale object. A common case in the Western States where a score of men, living in the same general neighborhood, have each a stock of grain which they wish to convert some into one thing and others into olher things, embracing the whole variety of household and family necessities. At a convenient railroad station they find a dealer who, having none of the articles they need, takes their grain, pays them in money, and each man takes his money to the nearest store and converts it into the commodities he wants. Here, too. the ex change of the commodities is the object and substance of the whole transaction. The office of the money was to facilitate the exchange' ; it was no sense the object desired by auy of the parties to keep for use. There has nver been a time in this country, nor iu any other commercial country, when there has ever been a lack of mouey for the purpose of makiug the ex chang of desirable commodities. The amount of money needed for such purpose is generally grossly exaggerated. The sum needed for that purpoee bears but a very small proportion to the aggregate values of the properties exebauged. On the day the banks resumed business in Chicago af ter the fire (they had been closed to deposi tors for nearly two weeks), it was wildly predicted that their funds would be ex hausted. During that day payments amounting to many millions of dollars were made, but the amount ot money ac tually drawn from the banks was hardly above the average. The ordinary amount of exchauges of commodities in this city, as shown by the clearing-house, averages 3,500,000 a day, while the actual mouey changing hands as a result of these trans actions will not average perhaps one-tenth of the sum. The office of money being merely that of an equivalent agent to fa cilitate the exchange of commodilies and not to be exchanged itself, the sura needed for that purpose is comparatively so small that, except in the case of a temporary lock-up, caused by panic, the presence of hostile armies, or other calamity, there can be no such thing as a scarcity of money. But the cause of inactivity in business, or what is called "hard times," is the scarcity of exchangeable or loanable capi tal. When the man who wants materials to manufacture articles for sale hr.s noth ing to exchange for such materials, has. nothing that he can part with tc obtain tbe money, aud is uot able to hire the mo ney or the materials on a reut, the trouble is not a scarcity of mouey, but a scarcity of exchangeable property or capilal. As we have said, projierty, iu whatever form it may be, must be put at use or its value decreases ; every man therefore, owning property, whether it be merchandise or iu the form of mouey, must make it produc tive cither by hiring it out or exchanging it for other property, and when this pro cess of hiriug, or renting property, or ex changing property, grows faint or stops it is due, uot to a scarcity of currency, but to a scarcity of this loanable and exchaug- ablc property called capital. This stale of things is produced by various causes. When there has been waste, want will follow. Excess is sure to be succeeded by shortage. Extravagance necessitates re trenchment. We are just emerging from a season of contiuued and wasteful iu vest ments in wild and uu remunerative specu lations. Millions of dollars haye been bu ried temporarily in railroads wbxh for years will be unproductive. Tbe waste has not been repaired. There is the stag nation that follows suspension. Confidence is slill wauting. Holders of capital are still fearful, aud decline to invest in specu lations. The remedy for this is produc tion. The wealth lost in speculation aud extravagance must be replaced by an in creased surplus production. Capital must be created to lake the place of what has been lost, and it is this scarcity of capital, and not a scarcity of mere currency that has produced the condition of things known as bard times. Chinujo Tribune. JUDGE PERKIIIXG. What They Think oflliin m His Old Home. The Johnstown (Cambria county) Tri bune says : "Cyrus L. Pershing, formerly of this place, has been nominated for Governor on an inflation platform. This 'nomination was made not because Persliing was con side red the proper man, but because the friends of the prominent caudidate spoken of could unite on no person who had political character. There are some peo ple here' who imagine he will make a strong candidate, but he has not been so before, although he has been benefited by dissen sions in bis own party just as he was at Erie last night. He was elected several times a member of the Legislature from this county, but there never was a time within our recollection that the Democrats could uot elect their nominee, provided he received live-sixths of the party vote. He has been whipped for Cougrest, for Judge of the Supreme Court, and for Judge of the District Court fir the Southern District of Cambria, by an overwhelming majority, and was only elected Judge of the Schuyl kill District Court because there were di visions in the party there. He has profited greatly by office, and is considered worth about $75,000, although no man who knows anything about his pr-a-vtuse here be lieves that it averaged $1,800 a year, and he had no other sources of income except his profession and his politics. He is cun ning, close-moutlied little man, wno can worm himself into more places, say less, do les3, and make more mouey by this course than any mau ou the continent, Here he is considered very thin material." Suow fell on the mountains in Cambria couuty on Friday, 101b. A Suyder county man raised potatoes at the rate of 384 bushels per acre. Oue cabbage stalK with eleven beads is considered a curiosity in Trcmont. A mill now being torn down at Lewis burg was built over a century ago. The Sheriff of Lycoming county is de stroying the fish dams in the West Branch. Helmbold has sued the physicians at Kirkbride's insane asylum, and others, for confining him on the plea of lunacy. IIou. Jacob G. Ileiliuan was this morn ing unanimously renominated for State Senator by the Republicans of Lebanon county. There is an old adage relative to tho no bleness of consistency. Tbe Democracy do no illustrate this, a year ago the Pennsylvania Democracy were in favor of "a steady effort to bring the Government notes to par with gold, and to secure a re turn to specie payments at the earliest pos sible period that resumption can be effected with safety." This year they have turned tables on themselves, and are just the other way. nonest, they. ? MAINE. The State Carried by tiie Republi cans. 13 Portland, Sept. 14. Returnes to 2 A. M. from 184 towns give Connor, Republican, for Governor, 34,874 votes, and Roberts, Democrat, 32,193 votes In 1874 the Republican vole was 31,759 and that of the Democrats 25,133. Con nor's majority in these towns is 2,(181 against G,02G in the same towns last year. The towns yet to hear from gave last year 21,190 Republican and 12,085 Dem ocratic votes. Pike, independent, is elected iu Calais. The Republicans have carried ten counties and the Democrats six. A special dispatch from Bangor says Piaisted, Republican, for Congress, is ahead of his ticket aud will be probably elected. Tns Latest "from Maine. Returnes received at the Keunebcc Journal office this morning, mostly official from 264 towns, give Connor 45,035, Rob ertas 41,541 ; Connor's majority, 3,494. The same towns last year gave Dingley 40,907, Roberts 31,474 ; Dingley's majority 9,433. There are yet 229 towns to be heard from. The majorities by couutie3 are, so far as returned, as follows : Republican : Androscoggin, 5S9 ; Ar- roostook, 43 ; Franklin, 519 ; Hancock, 47 ; Kennebeck, 1,217 ; Lincoln, 115 ; Oxford, 583 ; Peuobscot, 23t ; Piscaeaquts, 270 ; Sagadahere, 380 ; Somerset, 338 ; Washing ton, 97 ; York, 123 Democratic : Cumberland, 381 ; Knox, 479 ; Waldo, 53. The Democrats have elected 13 and per haps 15 senators. In the Fourth congressional district Gen eral Plaisted's friends claim from 800 to 1,000 majority for him, and the returns will doubtless elect him by these figures. Thirteen towns in Cumberland eounty give a Democratic vote of 7.2G7, Republican G,88G, making the Democratic majority 31. Three towns, to hear from gave 500 Democratic majority, last year, so that the majority this year will not fall short of 500 against 300 Republican majority last year, The representatives are probably 12 Dem ocrats, 5 Republicans and 2 ties, against 12 Democrats and 8 Republicans last year, The county officers are all Democrats. The Democratic Platform. FirsL That we hereby declare our unfal tering devotion to the fundamental princi ples of democratic goverumeutas enuucia ted by Thomas Jeilerson in his first inaug ural address, to wit : Lqual and exact justice to all men, of whatsoever state or persuasion, religious or political ; the sup Dort of the State governmeuts iu all their rights as the most competent administra tion for our domestic concerns, aud the surest bulwarks agaiust anti-republican tendencies ; the supremacy of the civil over military authority ; economy iu tue public expense, tuat labor may be lightly uuruen ed ; tbe honest payment of our just debts and tbe sacred preservation of the public faith ; freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of person under the protec tion of the great writ of habias corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. Second. That the widespread depression and suffering which effect every business and employment that is capable of being touched by legislation show Deyorrd a doubt the ignorance, insufficiency ,-aud wickedness of the leaders of the party that has ruled the State and nation for a period of years and calls for their immediate and perma nent removal from the places which they have so long dishonored aud disgraced. Hard. That the uudue multiplication of tbe public offices and the inordinate increase of salaries and emoluments of office are among the many evils which Radical rule has forced upou the couu try, aud, favoriug an economical administration of the Fed eral aud State Governments, so thai the people may be as speedily as possible re lieved from the burden of taxation, with which they are now seriously oppressed, we call upon our Federal and State Repre sentatives to strive, by all proper means, to reduce them both to tbe very lowest practicable number aud amount. Fourth, That the couduct of the present State Treasurer, in the management of the Commonwealth's finances, in his neglecting to appropriate the moneys in the sinking fund in paymeut of the public debt as rap idly as required by law, non-accouutiug for the interest received by him on the eo ple's mouey deposited with tho several banks and bankiug institutions throughout the State, and his insolent refusal sub mit tbe archives of the Treasury Depart ment to a legally constituted committee of the House of Representatives, appointed to investigate tbe same, is cause for grave sus picion, aud is deserving of the severest condemnation at the hands of au outraged and already overtaxed people. Fifth. That the condition of our State Treasury demands the most searching and thorough investigatiou, and we call upou the committee appointed by the House of Representatives to investigate the state of the same, and resolutely pursue the duty which has becu confided to it. Stith. That the nominees of the conven tion are hereby pledged to apply all moneys in the sinking fund as required by law iu the reduction of the public debt, and there by save the interest on the same to the amount so reduced, and that money due the Commonwealth from corporations and individuals shall be promptly collected and paid into the Taeasury, and not iu any manner, directly or iudirectly, to employ public moneys for their own prolit of purposes. Seventh. That the coutraction of the mouey currency and circulating medium heretofore made by the Republican party. and-the further coutraction proposed by it with a view to the forced resumption ot specie payments, has already brought dis aster to the business of the country aud threatens general bankruptcy. We demand that this policy be abandoned, and that llin volume of mouey be made and kept equal to the wants of trade, leaving the restora tion of legal tenders to par in gold to be brought about by promoting the industries of the people, and not by destroying them. jtnhth. I hat the policy already initiated by the Republican party of abolis-tnng le tenders aud giviug the natioual banks the power to furnish all the currency will in crease the power ot an already dangerous monopoly and the enormous burden now oppressing tr.e people without comjiensa- ting advantage, and that all the national bank circulation be promptly and per ma nently retired and full legal tenders be issued in their place. A inUi. Hiat the public interest demands that the Government should cease to discredit its owu money, and should make its legal tenders receivable for all public dues, except where respect for the obliga tions of contracts requires payment in coin lenth. Demands the extinction oi the preseut national banks, and the establish ment in their stead of a system of free banks of discount and deposit, under such regulations as the States respectively may prescribe, and no paper money except such as may be issued directly and upon the faith of the Federal Government, affording practically a currency based on the gold and silver aud other property of the whole people of the country. Jbltvenlli. 1 hat with this declaration ot priuciples and policy, we arraign the lead ers ol the Kepuuucan party lor their extravagant expenditures aud profligate waste of the people's money : lor their corruption ; for their speculation ;for their con tempt of constitutional obligations : for their extortionate increase ot the saiariesot our public officers; for there, oppressive, unjust, and defective system ot taxes, finance, and currency :for theircontinuance of incompetent and corrupt men in office. and for their general mismanagement ot both the State and Federal Governments, and we cordially invite the Liberal Repub licans and other men, without regard to past party associations, to co-operato with ns in expelling them from power, an estab- shing such an administration of our pub lic affairs as characterized the purer and better days of the Republic. When a man kills his wife in Chicago now-a-days, they convict him of man slaughter and send him to the penitentiary for one year. The Lancaster county court has put its foot on a number of petty cases by dis missing them and making each party pay his own costs. It costs every county yearly a large sum iu cases which ought never to reach conrt, and one-half ol which judicious magistrates might settle. The Norristowu liidejendent, says had the Republican party announced Hartranft to deliver an address in any part of the State on a Sunday, there would have been one universal howl of indignation from tho Democratic press. But Rev. Browne, the Temperance candidate, cau have Sunday meetings and it is all' right. Reformers hould begin reforms right. It is well to hold temperance meetings on Sunday for legitimate purposes, but a political reform party, should set a better example than by violating the Sabbath. Correspondence. Oris XEW YORK LETTER. THE IRISH IN NEW YORK THE TIMES AND RENTS MONEY FASniONS POLI TICAL WE ATII ER. New York, September 14, 1875. THE IRISH IN NEW YORK. Morrissey and Kelley are fighting for supremacy in tbe Democratic organization in the city, which means, control of the Democratic party iu the State, and New York looks on with breathless auxiety. What is it all about ? Any question of policy involved ? Any great difference of opinion on matters of great momeut be tween these leaders of a great party, these arbiters of destiny, these makers of Presi dents ? Nothing of the sort. It is simply a fight between two Irishmen one of them a professional gambler, and the other a worse man as to which shall dispense, to other Irishmen, the offices in the city. This is all there is about it. Do you realize the extent of Irish rule iu New York ? Do you kuow that the po lice almost without exception are Irish ? That the schools, the public works, the well everything, iu short, is from the head to the foot in the bauds of these people ? In a vast majority of the wards it is im possible for a man not an Irishman to hold any position, and the consequence is, the city is sure and certain in their hands. It is a regular pyramid the Irish people at the bottom, and Cardinal McCloskey at Jhe top. The voters are iu squads of fifties and hundred ; then captains and police men, and rum-mill keepers ; over them come .the heavy contractors and higher officials ; over them the Morrisseys, Kel leys, and O'Briens ; over them the priests and bishops ; and over all the Cardinal, who wields all this power. lie really di rects the politics of the city, and to a very large extent the State. And that he knows how to use his power, the property the church holds in the city is sufficient proof. The church has acquired from the city block after block of the most valuable real estate as free gifts. It escapes the paymeut of taxes, and it manages im mense appropriations from the public trea sury for the support of its hospitals, asy lums, schools, and convents. Iu short, the Irish Catholic Church is supported by the tax-payers. But this is the least expense the Irish are to the city. They furnish the crimi nals almost exclusively. . Read ajiy pro clamation describing a murderer, and the words "of Irish birth" will be found io nine cases out of ten. The reports of the police courts read like a poll-book in County Cork. It is all Mc and O. The assaulting, the knifing, the garrotiug. the robbing, is nine ty per cent, of it Irish. In short, almost all the lawlessness that makes New York to-day an unsafe city to live in, is nine tenths of it, the woik of the Irish.They rule the city, they have coulrol . of .; the offices, they make laws and break them ; they are at once the judges, criminals, and jurors. Talk about the oppressed Irish ! Those iu Ireland, if they are groaning un der English rule, ought to come at once and joiu their compatriots. All that tho Eug lish put upou them, they arc putting upon the American brauch of the same family. New York has more Irish in it than any city in Ireland, and that the Irish cities are better governed thau New York is simply because the Irish "arc not permitted to govern them. This condition of things in New York will continue till the Americans get time to attend to politics. They are in a nu merical majority, and if they would unite and act they could put down their foreign rulers. THE EFFECT OF TUE TIMES UPON REAL ESTATE. I said in a previous letter that there were six thousand houses vanant in Brooklyn. I V esterday I took a run among the real es tate agents to get at the cause. They told me that the dullness of trade had driven thousands from the city, and that many more, unable to keep a whole house, bad doubled with others. And the same is true of New York, not only in dwellings. but in business houses. Where a firm had a whole floor, they find half will answer all the purposes of their shrunken trade, and so two shrunken trades-' go together, leav iug an empty store and a disconsolate land lord, and a still more disconsolate party iu the persons of the landlord' family, whu- find their income suddenly struck out, Rents of dwellings have gone down a half, and they are going slill lower. Per con sequence, the codfish aristocracy are com ing back from Long Branch, Saratoga, and aud Newport in numbers. With stores and dwellings empty,'-Vthe head of the family can't afford to keep his wife aud three daughters at a fashionable watering- place, at an expenditure of at least $1,000 per week. The mother may rave and the girls may weep, but back they come, per force, to cold mutton and hash in their house in town. The old gentleman says it was business that brought them back so early, and the feminine part of his family say they find more comfort at home thau iu Saiatoga ; but the fact is. they lacked the stamps to stay. Aud the hotel-keepers mourn with their departed customers. Every one of them has lost money this sea son, aud thereat I rejoice. Their exhorbi- tant charges made it impossible for people to stay with them., Tbere is no trouble that has uot some compensation. I could endure more hard times if it would kill off more watering-place landlords. -V MONEY. AlTairs in this city to-day reminds oue of the mournful state of things at the South iu the early days of the war. There is a blockade of money in the banks. Au im mense amount of money rests iu the banks of New York ; millions upon millions business men say between thirty and forty millions, which may be above or below the actual figure an amount abundant to re lieve tbe distress of the country if it could only be set afloat. But it is locked tip by very justifiable fear. The backs do not know to whom It is really safe to lend money, for the firms reckoned tbe best last week are failing to-day ; and be ides, at any monent the feeling of insecurity may amount to a general alarm among deposi, tors and lead to a run upou the banks, for which they are determined to be anxiously and watchfully prepared. They are lending money on call, on the best security, at one and a half tier cent., which Western business men of the stanch est sort would be glad to pay eight aud ten per cent, for, on collaterals that would re joice the heart of a Shylock. Undoubtedly, bankers would be glad to set some of their abundant capital afloat where it would do others and themselves the most good, but in these uncertain days they don't know what hour they may want it themselves. One case, that is a specimen of a hundred others, is that of a man who spent days the last hot week trying to borrow $5,000 for six months, with 200,000 worth of first rate securities in a Western city m his pocket, without success. Business of every kiud looks sick. s It is pitiful to see the great retail stores, which were always thronged at this season of new goods, as little crowded with buy ers as the vestry of a country church at the weekly prayer-meeting. With all the depression, there is a rise in some articles. Carpets are higher,aud China has advanced in price at the best houses. Probably the only way dealers can make up their ex penses is by putting a small extra profit on such goods as will bear it. FASHIONS. A mildly rough finish on all sorts of wools goods is in style at present. Cash meres aud merinos, with surface almost as dull as serge, and the Knickerbocker goods, like winsey, with knots of brighter color on the face, will be the popular wear, with trimmings of silk, or the wide woolen or silk braids seen last year. The shapes introduced last spring were so graceful that they will be retained through the win ter. The apron overskirt, round or square, long, aud becomingly draped, with the closely-fitted basque, lengthened in front to give more the idea of a wrap, will be models for every sort of costume. In cloaks, a deep saeque, fitting in the back, loose but not ackward iu front, is the new est pattern, and will be made in heavy drap d' cte and siciliene, the soft thick silk, with the pliancy and substance of cloth. Felt hats, in cream color, gray, and coffee biown, will appear as soon as the chip and straw of summer are laid aside. Trim mings of heavy silk twists aud loops, with a single long, loosely- floating plume, super sede streamers of ribbon and clusters of feathers. Colored velvets, of the darkest shades in green, seal-brown, and blue, will supplant the traditional black velvet bon net for best wear. There are the few hints it is safe to offer for the selection of couutry toilets. Modest shapes and little trim miug is the rule for everything. FOLITICAL. The triumph of the inflationists iu the Pennsylvania Slate Conveution has made the solid portion of the Democracy of this city sick. They hoped that Ohio would stand alone in this matter, that they might still act with their party, but the action of the Pennsylvania Convention shows that inflation has a sure grip ou the Demo cratic miud of the whole country, and that it will be in the next national Democratic platform. Look out for a split in the De mocracy on this question. The Eastern Democrats will never consent to wild-cat repudiation. . They know that the business of the couutry demands what only 'be Re publican party can give it stability and certainty. Thousands of Democratic mer chants and mechanics will vote the Repub lican ticket tt.is fall on the issue. THE WEATHER is moderating a little, that is to say,. the thermometer doesn't go above 85, aodthe nights are decently cool. Thank heaven, fall weather is close at hand I PlETRO. . Order of Court.
