The Democracy profess to be terri
bly hostile to political Judges, which
leads us to inquire: Will Pershing
resign, or will ho drag the judicial
ermine through the dirty pool of pol
itics? Tbe cntertaing spectacle which the
Pennsylvania Democrats present in
running reform candidates on a plat
form faroring the ranVest kind of
financial dishonesty, luores 77? Aa
tion to this timely suggestion : "A
party which promises the people all
the money it may wan and at tbe
ame time promises to steal none of
it, makes a bold bid for popular sup
port We trust that tbe Ohio and
Pennsylvania reform platforms of
this year, together with biographies
of the candidates, will be placed on
exhibition at the Centennial. Eu
rope has nothing to show at all like
them."
TnE way to reform is not to reform.
Th:s iu the new Democratic discor
ery. It is going to reform the State
government by putting at the bead
of it a lawyer who, as a logiblator,
changed bis vote upon receiving a
$;00 fee ; and it undertakes to reform
tbe State Treasury by putting into it
a man who accepted a bribe of $400,
and threw it np tinder tbe mistaken
notion that the money was worthless.
If that is the way to da it, tbe Dem
ocrats have made the most notable
discovery of modern time. Pillt

That able and bigtly conservative
journal, tbe Baltimore Amervvn,
speaking of tbe canvass in this State,
says:
Tbe professed ''liarj money" Democrat
ic ortrans are assuring us that the currency
question is a mere diversion in Pennsylva
nia, and tbat the real issue is "tbe smash
ing of liie Treasury ring." AVe know very
little al)out tlie mauauicnt of t'uc Penn
sylvania Treasury, except that up to the
presen: time a "Democratic investigating
committee, appointed at the last session ot
the Legislature, ha been able to lino noth
ing t rung. Certain it is that the taxpayers

i licenses, and the tax paid by corpora
tions sufiices to pay all the expenses i4 the
State Government, to pay the interest on
the public debt, and to reduce the same in
a ratio that will insure its extinction with
in the next seven years. Wc suppwe that
there is no State in" the Union in which the
burdens ol taxation are so light as in Pcnn
svlvnma not tieotiline Vermont, where
the St ite Government used to be ran fir
fUfi.OW a year.
It i most remarkable how sudden
ly the Democracy have discovered
the good qualities of Governor Ilart
ranft, and how very refreshing to find
journals that three brief years since
could say nothing too bad of him,
now bearing testimony to bis worth
as a citizen and a soldier, aud declar
ing "tbat the malice of tbe partisan
will be impotent to pluck a leaf from
bis laurels," while at the same ti.se
they do so deprecate all personal al
lusion to candidates for office.
Why this sudden marvelous change
01 lUnC: I! It IKCIBSC mtumwin;
of the honesty and worth of Hart
ranft has just been made? Not a bit
m . a T . 1 . . a it.ilieiiirarv
of it. But U is Lecause ol tbe wretcn-
ed political character of tneir own
candidates tbat they are now on the
ragged edge. The true inwardness
of a Demoeratic journalist is only
6hown when he is put on tbe defen-!
sive, w itb a couple of copperhead
candidates on band. Then be is clop-
ping over with the milk of human
kindness, and a gallant soldier and
unexceptional Governor, whose repu
tation for integrity tbey vainly tried
to destroy, is in the most condescend
ing manner admitted to be common
ly honest and worthy, as tbe world
goes. '
That tbe ancient copperbead3 and
sympathizers with the late rebellion,
who now have, control of and ar
running the Democratic pirtar in
Ohio and Pennsylvania, are co n tem
pi a tin cr repudiation and eventual
Gnancial ruin, admits of scarce a
doubt.
The inflation of the present vol
ume of our greenback currency as de
manded by the Ohio Democratic plat
form, and its follow abortion begotten
by the Democracy of this State a t
Erie, is a gross violation of our Na
tional faith, tbe first step towards
the repudiation of our national debt,
the certain forerunner of a worthless
and irredeemable national currency,
and the swift advance courier of ruin,
beggary, idleness, and vice.
It is tbe pledged faith of the Gov
ernmcnt tbat alone gives credit and
value to our currency, and it must be
patent to the most stupid of compre
hension tbat a violation of tbat pledge
or even tbe merest squinting towards
an evasion of it, at once impairs c.red
it in the national faith, the sole ba
sis of cur paper currency. Now, the
fact is as well known, as is any other
fact or law on the btatuto books, that
it was a matter of grave doubt and
protracted debate whether the Gov
crnment had tbe power to make our
greenback currency a legal tender,
but we were in the midst of the re
belliou, were spending about two mil
lions a day, and the life of the nation
was at stake, so constitutional doubts
were thrown to the winds, and the
legal tender issue was voted, and
thereby tbe Government waspreserv
ed. But there bad necessarily to be
a limit put upon tbe amount of the
issue, else the faith cf the world would
be shaken in the ability of the gov
eminent to redeem as was abundant
ly shown by the constant rise in gold
and therefore in the law providing
for the issue of tbe las; $150,000,000
was inserted a proviso binding the
nation, that in no event should the
legal tender issue ever exceed $400,
000,000. now shameless then is the
demand, bow gross tbe violation of
pledged national faith on the part of
tbe Democrats, that additional green
backs, limited only by the views of
those in power, shall be issued.
What would be thought of the man
who borrowed a large sum of money
on his judgment note, under the sol
emn pledge that no other note of a
similar lindfhould be given, who, on
tbe same day, w ould violate his pledge
and give another, which being "en
tered," would thus invalidate the (se
curity, on the faith of whch the first
loan was obtained? And yet, this is
precisely the scoundrel act which
the Democrat of Ohio and Pennsyl
vania propose to do. It cannot be al
ready forgotten how bitterly the
Democrats then in Congress, oppos-1
ed the first issue of legal tender notes,
nor how it was prophesied by them
very where throughout the land, that
soon a bushel of greenbacks would
not buy a bushel of potatoes, yet now
they are clamoring for an unlimited
issue of this same money, not because
the tttTSities of the country de
mand i", but, as we verily believe, to
so inllv-e the currency as to render it
wortLIt ss, and then, when by reason
of tbe over issue, a bushel of green
backs will really not be worth more
than a bushel of potatoes (as was tbe
case with the Confederate money,) in
duce a mined people to repudiate the
whole. To nse a home illustration:
Had the authorities of this county
power to issue a hundred thousand
dollars of "county script" for the re
demption of which the tares of the
county were pledged, it would be
readily taken by our people, but sup
pose in violation of the pledge an ad
ditional issue of a million was made,
who would touch the worthless rags?
and how quickly the first $100,000
would depreciate in value.
We carried on the war with $400,
000,000 of greenbacks, and now ten
years aftrr it baa ended, w ben the
debt is being paid at the rate of one
and a balf millions a month, with
abundant crops throughout tho land,
the leaders of the Democratic party,
w ho bitterly opposed the issuing of
any greenbacks, who have habitually
denounced and undervalued them
ever since they were issued, and who
onlv la6t year bellowed for hard mon
ey through their State platform, are
now howling for an unlimited issue
of tbcra. A more dishonest proposi
tioa was never made by political ras
cals to honest men. Since the father
of the Democracy tempted our Sav
ior on the mount, a more worthless
incentive to national thef. has never
been proffered a people. And yet
this Democratic party in its platform,
couples this brazen proposal to break
our national faith, and render worth
less our national securities in tbe
hands of our creditors, with loud pro
fessions of honesty and a hypocriti
cal cry for reform.
pERsm.Nti, who is the mere crea
ture of accident, a nominee begotton
of a faction fight, a political hybrid
with hard money principles on a rag
money platform, 'conceived in sin
and born in iniquity,' it is now
claimed by his party followers will
be elected by a hundred thousand
majority. For a party that carried
the State last year by tbe skin of its
tcetb, and merely because of the ab
sence of Republicans from the polls,
to put forth 6ueh a claim is supreme
lr ab?urd, but when it is remember
ed the manner of bis nomination, not
for hi worth, nor from a desire to
make Lim tte candidate, but solely
lcauw tbe Cgbt ltween the Wal

again mbca before the people, and
successful only when seeking local
office in tbe 6trong Democratic conn
ty of Cambria, his intrinsic weakness
it too well known for such a frame of
brng to win.
It is openly confessed that the-
Ohio rag baby was adopted by the
Erie convention, with the object, first
of strengthening tbe hands of tbe
Ohio Democracy in their contest next
month, and secondly with the hope
of gulling the mining population of
this State now idle by reason of tbe
stoppage of the mills and manufacto
ries with the pretense tbat a plenti
ful supply of money will give them
large wages and easy times. We
don't slop to call attention now to the
self-evident fact tbat with an increase
of money and increased wages, will
also como increased prices for every
commodity and necessity, so that two
dollars then will not purchase more
than will one dollar now, bnt we
want to point out tbat however anx
ious and willing tbe Democracy of
Ohio and of this State may be to in
flate and repudiate tbe national cur
rency, they are utterly powerless to
do so, and must remain in this situa
tion at least until after March 4th,
1877. The National Banking sys
tern cannot be repealed, nor the green
back issue be increased so long ae
President Grant is in power, as he
would veto any bill passed for tbat
purpose.and it is will known that tbe
Republican Senate is also decidedly
against tbess things. Sotheagita
tion of this question, at this time, is
simply a waste of tbe raw material
and serves no other purpose than to
expose the dishonest designs of the
Democratic leaders.
The Democratic State Convention
of New York which assembled at Sy
racnse on Thursday last, gave the
rag baby of their Ohio and Pennsyl
vania brothers a stinging slap in the
face, and emphatically declared in fa
vor of the hardest kind of hard mon
ey, in accordance with all tbe ancient
traditions of their party. But more
cruel still are the Democracy of Ne
braska, whose State convention met
at Omaha on the same day. These
presumed inflationists for it has been
insisted tbat the Western Democracy
were all in favor of additional rag
money not only declared in favor
of a "sound currency, coin or its
equivalent, as essentia! t business
and a restoration of prosperity, but
denounce the attempt to commit the
Democratic party to a further issue
of paper money as "a criaoe against
the common welfare, aad a wanton
violation of a cardinal article of tbe
Democratic creed." Never before
waa a party so hopelessly divided
on a vital issue, and yet the blather
skites in this State brag loudly of
their ability to carry the next Pres
idential election.
TnAT remarkably "Independent
journal", ; the Philadelphia lime,
whose editor-in-chief is Alexander
K. McCIure, has openly flopped oyer
to tbe Democracy, and is blowing its
best for Pershing. Of course this is
not unexpected, for since its birth it
has, under tbe thin guise of inde
pendence, been doing its level best to
misrepresent and injure Republican
men and measures.
In any event and under any cir
cumstances, it would have supported
the nominees of .the Eric convention,
but its zeal in behalf of Pershing is
tbe zeal of a welt fed lawyer for bis
client, or the seal of ono stipendiary
for a fjllower'owned and paid by tbe
6amo munificent master. -
Since the day tbat the Pennsylva
nia Railroad secured the services of
CoL MeCJure to engineer tbe repeal
of the tonnage tax throagh our Leg
islature to the prasent moment, it has
owned him body and breeches, and
ably, adroitly and recklessly has be
labored in its behalf, and the notori
ous fact tbat Tershing, when in tbe
Legislature, w-ns bought and paid for
by that corporation presumably
through McClure will sufficiently
account for the milk in tbo present
political cocoa nut Pershing tbe can
didate, and McClure his henchman,
both paid tools and servants of that
r!amiaeerin? corporation, would if
" ct a
successful in the canvass, place tbe
State of Pennsylvania completely
and helplessly in the band j of their
owner, Col. Tom Scott, to use as bis
whim or interests dictate. For years
the Pennsylvania road has controlled
the legislation of this State through
McClure, Pershing and their allies,
but wc think tbe day is yet distant
when tbe people will voluntarily, by
their vote, transfer the collar of this
. "t ..?
corporation from tnc necK oi inc:-e
men to their own.

The nominee of tbe Democrats for
State Treasurer was a member of the
Pennsylvania House of Representa
tives in 1P46, when Messrs. Bigbam
and Hilands were members from this
county, lie was, during tbe session,
a member of tbe committee on Banks,
and Mr. Hilands, of this county, was
on that committee with him. - Strong
efforts were made, tbat year, to re
peal the charter of the Lehigh County
Bank. The Bant committee were
equally divided about the reporting
of this bill. It was held over nearly
a month, a3 wa3 understood, at the
instance of Mr Tiollet. Daniel
M'Cook, a younger brother of Pr.
M'Cook, late of Pittsburgh, was at
Harrisburg lobbying for the bill.
Mcses Y. Beach, of New York, was
the chief owner of the bank. It was
understood that Piollet was in treaty
with M'Cook about getting this bill
out of the Bank Committee. Tbe
whole facts as proved before Judge
Pearson, before whom M'Cook was
afterwards tried, were about a3 fol-
ows: Negotiations had been going
on for some time between M'Cook
and Piollet about getting tbe bill out
of the committee. Finally arrange
ments were mado tbat tbe money was
to be paid tbe next morning. : All
the parties were Democrats and board
ing at tbe Buenlcr House. , at toos
bad Col. Tiper, of Bedford, conceal
ed, rolled up in a buffalo under his
bed to bear what passed at tbe pay
ment of the money, riollet was
paid $400 in tbe notes of tbe Tlain-
neld Bank or ew Jersey, and toe
bill was to be reported at tbe next
meeting of tha committee. Piollet,
however, bio wed on M'Cook, and
laid the money on bis desk in the
hall of the House, and stated he had
been offered it as a bribe.
' M'Cook was bonnd over and tried
before Judge Pearson about a month
afterward ard was convicted of tbe
offense. Thaddeus Stevens defend
ed M'Cook. On the trial Piollet was
examined as the chief witness.
Among other things, be stated, hav
ing gone into M 'Cook's room and
received the $400; he returned to
his own room, sat down and counted
the money, and he said be wept to
think that anybody would be, or
could be bribed for $400. Thaddeus
Stevens said, " Gentlemen of tbe
jury, I have been doubtiing Mr. Pi-
olet 8 statement heretofore. Here is
one part I suppose to be exactly
true. He tells yon about counting
tbe money in bis own room, shedding
tears. He admitted tbat be was not
aware of its being Plaiofield Bank
notes until this point of time. Now,
he knew tbe Plain field Bank was iu
bad repute, in fact be supposed it to
be utterly worthless. These tears
fell not because of the attempt to
bribe him but because he thought
tbey had passed utterly worthless
paper upon nim. f Jim virtue could
not stand an attempt to bribe him
with counterfeit money. Now, gen
tlemen of the jury, bad be not gotten
into a passion over it, had be gone
to a broker's and learned that be
could have had tbem changed to gold
or silver for from Dre to seven per
cent, be -would : have pocketed the
insult and you would have been
saved tbe trial of M'Cook."

of this Bank Committee, was exam
ined in court, and knows all the de
tails. The Bank , Committee alL be
lieved that Piolet bad been inviting

Tbe Tamaqna Item of la-t evening
has the following:
The reception and serenade to
Governor , Ilartrnoft and staff last
evening was a grand success. About
quarter past nine o'clock the special
train bearing the distinguished party
arrived froa Pottsville aad stopped
at the head of Berwick street Here
the Governor and his suite alighted,
and were received by the committee
amid tbe cheers of a va?t crowd,
which bad assembled to greet and
welcome tbe Chief Magistrate cf
the State. Headed by the Pennsyl
vania Cornet Band, playing "Hail to
the Chief," aad followed by tbe mul
titude of tbe people in procession,
the Governor and his party were es
corted to the C. S. hotel.
Tho crowd trussed in front of the
hotel, the band playing an appropri
ate air. and in a few minutes the
Governor appeared upon the balcony
and was introduced by Wallace Guss,
Esq. The Governor mado a few ap
propriate remarks, returning thanks
for the flatterincr and kind reception,
which be said was altogether unex
pected, as bis trip through the coun
try was purely of an official and not
of a political character. The Gov
ernor waa followed by Adjutant Gen
eral Latta, who touched very bnelly
upon tbe political issues of the day.
Governor Rceder, of Easton, follow
ed in a short speech, and the Gover
nor tnea spent a snort time ia reced
ing the welcomes and congratula
tions of our citizens.
A number of enthusiastic Demo
crats last night got Adjutant General
Latta confounded with Lieutenant
Governor Latta. The former is and
has always been a Republican, while
the latter is the Demoeratic Lieuteu
ant Governor of the State. Conse
quently, when the Adjutant General
made "a Republican speech, the in
dignation of t'lese honest Democrats
knew no bounds, and with muttered
curses, not loud but deep, tbey bran
ded him as a ttaitor aud swore be

was really amusing to bear them
rave until they bad their mistake ex
plaiccd and pointed cut to them by
some ono better posted in Pennsyl
vania politics.
Ivrhinand the l arnurrn.
When the Republican Stata Treas
urer, Hon. William II. Kemele, pro
posed to relieve tbe firms and homes
of tbe working men of Pennsylvania
from tbe payment cf State tax, and
place tbe burden taken off their
shoulders on the railroad corporations,
as a fair return for tho valuable fran
chises granted them by the State, be
wa3 bitterly opposed by the corpo
rations, iue whip was cracked over
tho member? of the Legislature who
could be depended on to stand by the
monopolies. Rut tbe ttiraesa of the
proposition was so notorious, its jus
tice so plain, and its popularity so
great, tbat all tbe "roosters" could
not be whipped in. In tins emer
gency a telegraphic order was receiv
ed in Harrisburg to tho faithful to
defeat this bill." PiRsnixc. was
thrown between two Eres. To oppose
the repeal of tbe tax on real estate
was to render bimselt unpopular with
the farmers. To vote for it was to
offend tha corporations and endanger
his future fees. But bo was true to
himself if ho wa3 false to both bi
master and his' constituents, lit
dodged ; and his name is not record
ed on tbe record for that noble law
which relieved the farms and dwell
ings of our State from n tax wbieh
they had been forced to pay so tbat
corporation monopolies might escape
their fair share of te burdens of tbe
State Government. Oa what the
ory did Mr. Peushixo dodge oa this
bill except the obvious ono that bis
devotion to the corporations was
greater tbat his ideas of justice to the
people? Will some Democratic news
paper please explain this ? Remem

rerahinjr, tbe Reformer.
"; Pcashing has been dubbed by. a
New York paper tb Tilden of Penn
sylvania. We suppose this means
that he is a "reformer," and the title
is bestowed because while performing
his sworn duty he sentenced three
Democratic Commissioners to one
yjar's imprisonment. But wc don't
see why it is more to a Ju jge's cred
it to pass sentence on an official thief
than it is on a sneak thief, a burglar
or a defaulter in private life. We
have no doubt tbe Judge is a good
judge. He is now away from all
temptation and be should not be tak
en to Harrisburg to bo spoiled, and
that bo can be spoiled is shown by
tbe following little incident which is
related of himj When Pershing was
in tho Legislature, a bill came up in
which tbe Pennsylvania Railroad
Company was deeply interested.
Mr. Pershing made a vigorous speech
against its pa-sage and tbe next day
when the vote was taken Pershing
recorded bis vote in its favor. As
this caused considerable surprise, one
f the members said : "Why, Persh
ing what caused this sudden change?"
"You sue," be replied, "I reside in
Johnstown and as the Pennsylvania
Railroad passes throagh there and has
large interests at that point, tbey last
mgbt, retained me as tbeir counsel
and paid mc at once a retainer of
$500, and after being employed by
them I could not go against them."
This happened before "Reform" was
tbo popular cry of the opposition. It
at least shows that the Judge loved
money ten or fifteen years ago, but
a? bis practico was not a very . lucra
tive one, perhaps he had need of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
fees. He now draws a good salary
as judge and is independent of tbe
Pennsylvania Railroad, and iu that
fat berth be intends to stay. The
DeraoeraU want him to resign and
take the stump. Particularly anx
ious are tbo Schuylkill county aspir
ants for judicial honor, ' but Cyrus
thinks "a bird in the baud is worth
two in tbe bush," and be refuses to
to give up his $1,500 a year for the
uncertainties ot the State Executive
mansicn Allentoirn Chronicle.
The editor of the West Chester
Republican, Major E. B. Moore, thus
disposes of the oft-repeated Democrat
ic assertion tbat Governor Hartranfi
never voted a Republican ticket un
til he voted for Ljsistlf for Auditor
General. He says ;
"This charge falre. Gorp.or
Hartranft voted tor Douglas in

given tho sobers in the Geld from

OI R SEW VOKK LETTER.
New Youk, September,l8, 1875.
THE lEISn IS SEW YORK.
Morris3ey and Kelley are fighting
for supremacy ia the Democratic or
ganization iu tbe city, which means
control of the Democratic party in
tbe State, and New York looks on
with breathless anxiety. V hat is
it all about? Any question of policy
involved? Any creat difference of
opinion on matters of great moment
between these leaders of a great par
ty, these arbiters of destiny, these
makers of Presidents? Nothing of the
sort. It is simply a Oght between
two Irishmen one of tbem a profes
siona! gambler, and tbe 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 in new York? Do you know tbat
tbe police, almost without exception,
arc Irish? Tbat tbe schools, tho pub
lic works, the well everything, ia
short, is from the head to the foot in
the hands of these people? In a vast
majority of the wards it is impossible
far a man not an Irishman to hold
acv position, and the consequence is,
the city is sure and cei tain in tbeir
hands. It is a regular pyramid the
Irish people at the bottom, and Car
dinal McCloskty at the top. The
voters arc in squads of fifties and hun
dreds; then captains and policemen,
and rum-mill keepers; over them
come the heavy contractors and
higher officials; over them the Mor
risseys, Kelleys, and O'Briens; over
theta the priests and bishops; and
over al! tbe Cardinal, who wields all
this power. Ho really directs the
politics of the city, and U a very
large extent tbe State.
Aud tbat be kuows how to use bis
power, the property tbe church holds
in tbo city is sumcient proof, lbe
church has acquired from the city
block after block of the most vealuablc
real estate as free gifts. It escapes
the payment of taxes, and it manages
immense appropriations from the pub
lic treasury for the support of its hos
pitals, asylums, schools, and convents.
In short, tho Irish Catholic Cburcb
is supported by tho tax payers.
But this is tho least expense the
Irish are to the city. They furnish
'.be criminals almost exclusively.
Read any proclamation describing a
murderer, and the words "of Irish
birth" will bo found in 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 as
saulting, the knifeng, the garroting,
tho robing, is ninety per cent of it
Irish. . In short, almost all the law
lessness that make3 New York to
day an unsafe city to live in, in nine
tenths of it, the work of lbe Irish.
They rulo the city, they have control
ol tbe offices, tbey make laws and
break them; they are at once tbe
judges, criminals, and jurors. Talk
about tbe oppressed Irish! Those in
Ireland, if tbey are groaning under
English rule, ought to come at once
and join their compatriots. All tbat
the English p it upon them, they are
putting upon tbe American branch of
lbe same family. New York has
more Irish in it than any city in Ire
land, and tbat tbe Irish cities are
better governed than New York is
simply because the Irish are not per
mitted to govern tbem.
This condition of things iu New
Vork will continue till tbe Americans
get time to attend to politics. They
are iu a numerical majority, and it
they would unite and act they could
put down their foreign rulers.
the effect of the times vros real
ESTATE.
I said ia a previous letter that
there were six thousand houses va
cant in Brooklyn. Yesterday I took
a run jmong tbe real estate agents to
get at tbo cause. They told me that
the dullness of trado 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 ot New York,
not ouiy in dwellings, but in business
houses. Where a firm bad a whole
floor, they find half will answer all
tbe purposes of their shrunken trade,
and so two shrunken trades go to
gether, leaving an empty store and a
disconsolate landlord, and a still
more disconsolate party in the per
sons of tbe landlord's family, who
God their income suddenly struck out
Rents of dwellings have gone down
a half, aud they are going still lower.
Per consequence, the codQsh aristoc
racy are coming back from Long
Branch, Saratoga, and Newport in
numbers. With stores and dwel
lings standing empty, the head of the
family can't afford to keep his wife
and three daughters at a fashionable
wattering place, at an expenditure of
at least fl.UttO per week. Tbe moth
er may rave and the girls way weep,
but back they come, perforce, to cold
mutton and bash in tbeir hoose 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 than in Saratoga; but the fact
is, they lacked tbe stamps to stay.
And the hotel keepers mourn with
their departed customers. Every
one of them bas lost money this sea
son, and thereat I rejoice. .Their ex
horbitant charges made it impossible
for pajplt to stay with tbem. There
a H.,t . I
is uo irouuie mat nas not 6ome com
pensation. I could endure more
bard times if it would kill off more
sratering-place landlords.
POLITICAL.
The triumph of the infjatiocints in
the Pennsylvania State Convention
bas 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 wit& their party, but the action
of the pennsylraoia Cocventiou
,.l .t ;fl..riJ t. r .
fciiu b luai luuiiuuu uas a sure grip
on the Democratic mind of the whole
country, and tbat it will be in 'tbe
next national Democratic platform.
Look out for a spirit in the Democ
racy on this question. The Eastern
Democrats will never consent to wild
cat repudiation. Tbey know tbat
the business of the country demands
what only the Republican party can
give it stability and certainty.
Thousands of Democratic merchants
will vote the Republican ticket this
fall on the issue.
rAsmoxs.
A mildly rough finish oa all sorts
of wcol goods is ia style at prcseat
Cashmeres and merinos, with surface
almost as dull as serge, and the
Knickerbocker goods, like winscy,
with knots of brighter color on the
face, will bo tbe popular wear, with
trimmings of silk, or the wide wool
en or silk braids seen last year. The
shapes introduced last spring were so
graceful that they will bo retained
through tho winter. ' The apron
ovcrskirt, round or square, long, and
becomingly draped, with tho closely
fitted basque, lengthened ia front to
give more idea of a wrap, will be
models for every sort of costume. In
cloaks, a deep sacque, fitting in tbe
back, loose but not awkward in front,
is tbe newest pattern, and will be
made in heavy drop d'ettt and
sicilienne, the soft thick silk, with the
pliancy and substance of clotb. Felt
bata, in cream color, gray, and coffee
brown, will appear as soon a3 the
chip and straw of summer are laid
aside. Trimmings of heavy silk
twists and loops, with a single long,
loosely floating plume, supersede
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 bonnet for best wear.
These are the few hints it is safe to
offer for the felcction of country
toilets. Modest shapes and little
trim:ning is the rulo for everything.
MOSEY.
Affairs in this city to-dav reminds
one of the mournful state of things
at the South in the early days of tbe
war. There is blockade ot money
rests in tbe banks cf New York; mil
lions upon millions business men
say btwesn thirty and forty millions
which may be above or below tbe ac
tual figure aa amount abundant to
relieve tbe distress of the country if
it could only be set afloat. Rut it is
locked up by very justifiable fear.
The banks do notki:o.v to whom it is
really safe to lend money, fjr the
firms reckoned the best last week are
failing to day: and besides, at any
moment he feeling of insecurity may
amount to a general alarm auioug de
positors, and lead to a run upon tbe
banks, for which they are determined
to be anxiously and watchfully pre
pared. I hey are lending money oa cad,
on the best security, at one and a
balf per cent, which estern busi
ness mm cf tha stu iclo a S r would
be glad to pay eight and tea percent.
for, on collaterals that would rejoice
the heart of a Shylock. Undoubted
ly, bankers would be glad to set some
of tbeir abundant capital afloat where
it would do others and themselves
tho most good, but in these uncer
tain days they don't know what bour
they may want it themselves.' One
case, tbat is a specimen of a hundred
others, is tbat of a man who spent
days tbe last hot week trying to bor
row fo.OOO for six months, with
$200,000 worth of firstate securities
ia a Western city ia his pocket, with
out success. Business of every kind
looks siek.
It is pitiful to see the great retail
stores, which were always thronged
at this season of new goods, as little
crowded with buyers as the vestry of
a country church at tbe weekly
prayer-meeting. With all the de
pression, there is a rise in articles
Carpets are higher, aad china bas ad
vanced in price at tbe best bouses.
Probably tbe only way dealers can
make np their expenses is by putting
a small extra profit on sncb goods a
bear it.
THE WEATHER
is moderating a little, that is to say.
tbe thermometer doesn't go above 85
and tbe nights arc decently cool.
Thank heaven, fall weather is closi
at band.
