Tub people of Denver will have to pay roundly for the little riot which was got up in thr.t city in the interest of the Democratic party, just before the Presidential election. The Chinese government has taken official cognizance of the affair, and the upshot is that the great damage lone to the property of the Chinese resident at Denver M ill have to be made good by the municipality. I'.vukk the burnt child, that is -aid to dread the fire, the Demo cratic press U commencing to agi tate the question of free trade, and several leading journals insist that it is the only issue on which that party tan win. In our opinion there is more Rritish gold, than a desire for the prosperity of the American people at the Wtom of the niove-jiient. While the Northern Democratic press has not a word to say regard ing the frauds perpetrated in the South at the late flections, it is re freshing to find a number of the ablet Southern journals speaking out boldly in condemnation of them. In the case of Congressman Lynch, of Mississippi, there is no attempt on the part of these journals to con ceal their disgust at the shameless attempt to scat Chalmers, of Fort Pillow notoriety, by causelessly throwing out thousand of Repub lican votes cast for Mr. Lynch. Well, the electoral colleges of the several States have cast their votes. There wasn't a protest in any of thein. Garfield and Arthur are duly elected President and Vice President, and the feeble, knavish cry of fraud raised immediately after the November elections is final ly disposed of. All that remains to be done now is for the electoral vote to be opened in the presence of Congress and the result to be declar ed. James A. Garfield, the eigh teenth President of the United States, will be inaugurated on the 4th day of March next. Sittose some of the leading Democratic journals now so much occupied with fixing up a Cabinet for Garfield and reforming the civil service, should turn the blaic of their tremendous intellects upon the subject of Congressional repre sentation, and attempt to enlighten the public on a point that will prob ably be soon mooted : How the South is to maintain a reprcsenta tion based upon a vote, one-half of which is systematically and illegally suppressed. The census tables wil soon appear, and the ratio for new apportionment be fixed, and some few fools may insist that it is not quite fair to the people of the North that the power of their votes .shall be overcome by the suppres sion of one-half the votes of the South, and attaining result by stuffing the ballot-boxes or falsify inz the count Wc arc inclined to think that as it is the duty of Con gross to provide for fair and free elec Hinne f Irmiiirhont till? him!. th:it some effort may be made to put an end to the wholesale robberv of the right of franchise from Southern Repub licans, and we would therefore like to have Borne of our Democratic friends say a few words on the eub lect ot a Jul! and lair vow, and an honest count. The folly of the States' rights doctrine has just received a new and curious illustration in Georgia, which may lose that State its vote for President The law of the United States fixes the first Wednesday of December as the time for tli meeting of the electors to cast the vote oftheir resectivc States while it appears that the Georgia code provides that the Governor shall summon the electors to meet on the first Monday of December to prepare for the casting of the vote Governor Hoyt is to be the next U. S. Senator to succeed W. A. Wal lace. Just how Mr. Herr knows this to be so, we are not informed. The truth is, it is as yet. all gues3 work as to who the next Senator will le. Mr. Grow has been mak ing an active canvass for the last two years, and has probably one third of the members of the Legis lature pledged to, or instructed ibr him, end thus in present strength leads any other candidate. The fact of his making a personal can vass throughout the St.tte, is by many considered undignified, and the further fact that in 1S72 he re fused to supjiort the Republican ticket tells largely against him with the stalwart element of the party, and he w ill undoubtedly be beaten if all the elements of opposition to him can be united on a single can didate. Whether this union can be brought about, will hardly be a; certained until the Legislature as sembles, and members have an op portunity to jersonally compare views and discuss and ascertain the strength and popularity of the dif ferent aspirants. Meanwhile the friends of Gov. Hoyt, Hon. John Cessna, Lieut. Gov. Stone, Gen. Moorhead, Harry Oliver and other prominent candi dates will continue to push the claims of their favorites, and all as sertions that this or that man is to be the Republican candidate is mere idle speculation. The Democracy declared Dead by an Old Friend. From the Chicago Timtt (lad Dem ) What is the future of the Demo cratic party? It has no future. It is as dead as a last year's bird's nest. What is more, it has been dead for the last sixteen years. It died in 1804, when it incorporated in its platform a plank that the war for the Union was a laiiure, ana it has been mistaking, ever since, a kind of galvanism for vitality. Since that H'riod we have been earning arouiid a corpse, dressed in all the robes of royalty andM)wer,itis true, but nevertheless a corpse. We all loved the old party so much for the grandeur of its past history that we have been unwilling to concede that it wag dead, But there are too many evidences of it now to dis guise the fact any longer. When greenbac k ism and quasi-rcpudiation of the public debt appeared on its surface, they were signs that decom position had set, and the result of the last election has proven mat it U dead bevond the power of resur- rection. hat snouid at ao as an organization? It should disband. Its only use now seems to be to act as a hoop to the Republican barrel When it organizea for a campaign, it drives all the independent and doubtful Republicans back into the Republican ranks. It has no well- defined principles, an an organiza tion. A citizen may call himself a Democrat : but who would dare to assert that hard money is a cardi nal principle of the Democratic party, in the lignt of its present record ? Who would dare to assert that it is opposed to monopolies, and in favor of a tariff which shall be stripped of all monstrosities and fa voritism, when S3 recently the Pres idential candidate on the ticket has proclaimed that the tariff is only a.! local qu'-stion? lhe only issue which t!tt so-called Democratic par ty ventured, and upon which it fought in the last campaign, was as to whether the Chinese letter is a forgery or not. Could anything bttter demonstrate the poverty of the resources of the party ; The Rfapportimunent. Confess will ever RftemptW enforce the Constitution add the laws in the south, and therefore no Democratic Congress should be permitted to make the apportoinment under the new census, if it can be prevented.

Before anything shall be done in that di rection it becomes the duty of Re- tiublicans U consider a lew facts tearing on the case. The amend ment to tho Constitution very clear ly define the duty of Congress in providing for Congressional repre sentation. Section 2, of the Four teenth amendment provides that Representatives shall be appointed among the several States according to population, counting the whole nuimVr of persons in each State, exclusive of Indians not taxed. But whenever the right to vote for electors, Representitives in Congress, executive and judicial officers, or members of the Legislature is denied to any of the male inhabitasts, be ing of age, and citizens of the United Stntcs, "or in any way abridged," ex cept for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of repre sentation shall le reduced in the proportion that the number so de prived of suffrage shall lear to the whole number of jjjaja citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. Now it has been amply proved that in several of the south Atlautic and Gulf States, and in Arkansas, the right to vote has been denied to a very large voting population therein. Thousands have been driven away from the polling places with Violence, and other thousands have been deterred from, going to the polls to cast their votes by threats and proscriptive edicts. In addition to these, in several States th votes of thousands have been thrown out on flimsy pretexts and on no pre texts whatever. There is no con cealment of the intention of the dominant party in several States to abridge the right of suffrage bv false counting and refusal to count the vote of the freedmen. Lvcry one of these plans tor keeping the South solid for the old slave oligarchy is a palpable violation of the Constitu tion, and properly brings the States in which they prevail under the penal clause which we have quoted in substance. The question of reapportionment cannot justly be considered without particular reference to these viola tions of the organic law. The gov ernment seems unable to put a stop to this practical defeat of the uni versality of suffrage in any other way than by enforcing the provis ion of the XIV amendment which makes Congressional representation depend upon obedience to the or- PuU-APttriUA, Dee, Despatches from all the States in the Union show that, with the excep tion of New York, where Cornelius R, Agnew was chosen to fill a va cancy caused by the absence of Mr. Aiken of the Thirteenth District; Virginia, w here Major B..kor 1.

An Uptown dry goods house has on ex hibition a table-cloth several lVet square of varcgatcd colors, with of namental bonier and fringed edge3. lhe fabric is flexible, and only a little heavier than those woven of fiax. while it is claimed that it can be washed and ironed like the ordi nary table-cloth. Glass has been spun and woven in .Austria for some years, but it is a new undertaking in this country. A prominent glass manufacturing firm of Pittsburgh, Pa., recently engaged in the manu facture of this brittle substance into fabric, which they claim are as jkt- feet, delicate and durable as suk. A representative of this firm said yesterday that they can snin 2.j!I line threads, each ten miles in length, in one minute. The weaving is done with an ordinary loom, but the pro cess is more difficult and much more interesting' than the spinning of cotton or other threads. " "We can duplicate in glass any costume," said this gentleman, "and can make it just as brilliant in color, elaborate : in finiih, pcifcct in lit, and equal in its smallest details; even to the buttons on the original. The fabric is very strong, cannot be ripped or torn, and can be sold at a less price than linen, cotton, or silk, or other fabric imitated. It is also very warm, shawl, or other garment in ordinary clothing." ' Amon" the articles already man ufactured of glass are beautiful feathers, which resemble those of the ostrich, towels, napkins, and table cloths. A Hot Collar. PiTTsB'JROU, Dec. ?. A thrilling accident occurred at the American iron works, on South Side, yesterday afternoon. While 'Robert Moore was at work at his rolls his catcher failed to seize w ith lils tongs a bar of white-hot iron which lie hud placed between the rolls. The iron twisted itself twice around the roll, forming a collar. The catcher struck the iron, when there blew off a piece in the shape of a ring with a stern twenty inches long running off at right angles to the circle. The band Hew back and fell around Moore's head, resting on the shoulders. Quick as thought lie grabbed the long stem with his tongs and the white- hot rins with his hand, and with stcadv nerve and gentle movement he lifted the fiery thing from his shoulders. His face was badlv burned by the heat emitted from the iron and the llesh of his hand was cut into the bone. Afterwards he put the ring on his head. It was but two inches lanrcr in diameter than iila head, A reat xt of Coanterfoitcr itrok- J National Bank of Wilkcsbarre; cn 1 j another the lettering and the vig- , n i n m ! nette and the third the words "will asiiixgtox, December 2.-The ; one humJreJ do,.irs on story oi the arrest oi yoyie, i. : at?inan Another p. way and Smith, the notorious conn- terfeiters, is now all out. 1 he story is one of themost extraordinary in the history of crime, and the arrests prove to have been the greatest work ever aceompl'.s'ied by the se cret service. SHADOWING THE ROGUES. Laat July the secret service came upon the track of Broekway. From that time till Doyle was arrested in Chicago Broekway was shadowed. This led to the discovery of Smith, a Brooklyn engraver, Owens, a plate printer, and Doyle. Their movements were followed, their haunts were located, their habits learned. A few days before Doyle started for Chicago the secret service became satisfied that Smith was an engiavtr. He woull come out of his house, stretch hi legs, walk around the block for rest and exercise as en gravers do. His antecedents were investigated, and it was learned that he did crooked work. A few days before Doyle left for Chicago, Brock way and Doyle were seen together, and a tew hours before Doyle left Chicago, Broekway was discovered giving Doyle a bundle. Some days before that a bundle was also given Doyle by Broekway. Doyle was not arrested in New York for the rea son that the Secret Service desired further to pursue their clue against the rest of the gang, and for the rea son, -also, that it was expected that contraband goods would be found on Doyle. The story of his arrest, and the capture of the bonds in Chi cago, and the subsequent arrest in New York of Broekway Smith and Owens is know. THE FIRST ( LI E. It is said that the only evidence which had been secured against these men was that they used a no tary's seal. Owens bought one and returned it the next day. On anoth er day Broekway took a bundle from Smith's house and left it in an om nibus. The government secured it and it contained the broken seal of a notary. This had been used in transferring counterfeit bonds. The goverment's agents were not looking tor bond counterfeiters, but for bank note makers, and it is believed that they did not see at the time the val ue of the discovery of the seal after the arrest - Smith confessed, as serting that lie had been recently Ld from the . paths of honesty by Broekway, who had afterward held him in slavery by threats of expo sure. He admitted that he had made the $100 nlate, from which Plate is the original one hundred-dollar note plate in skeleton on copper. Tliere are also four back borders of one hundred dollar notes one the oriz inal and the others electrotypes; one back center on steel, one sepa rate title for the Pittsburgh Nation al Bank of Commerce on steel, and one $100 counter on steel. The great prize of the collection is a plate of the $1,000 5-20 bonds, with three plates for coupons, two of cop per and one of steel; there are also for the manufacture of the same bonds one copper plate for the en tire back, another copper plate for the face border, and a steel plate with the head of Johnson for the face, and two original dies on cop per for a selec tion of the back and face border. Included in the proji erty surrendered and dug out of the ground weie lb2 sheets of the fibre paper, such as notes are printed up on. This is supposed to be genuine official paper. If it is, it must have been obtained by collusion with government employes in the facto ry w here the paper is made. There were also found in the ground coun terfeit one hundred dollar notes of the face value of fcwyiOO purporting to have been issued by five national banks ; there were also unfinished notes of the same kind of the face value pf $19,210. The latter were, it i? supposed, intended to be issued as counterfeits upon the National Ex change Bank of Baltimore. Two seals and two numbers for such notes were also found. The surrender of this great collec tion of material makes the capture of Broekway one of the most impor tant arrests ever made by the secret service. It is much more difficult to secure counterfeit plates than to arrest those who make and use them. This time the captured plates were those from which were made the most dangerous counterfeits which have ever corrupted our currency.

The elec toral vote of Georgia is probably lost to Hancock and English, for the following reason: The revised .Statutes of the United States pro vide in Section lo that the Electoral Colleges of the several States shall meet on the first Wednesday in peeember and Qast the vote. The Georgia code, Section 1,31:2 provides that the Governor shall notify the Electors to meet at the Capitol on the first Mondav in Decemler, to he UIU cuw mutt, iiuiii rtiitu ' , .t ... , , e n the notes in Dovle s possession had . .. . nn .f b .rinted, and that he had also ."V . , .

It had the men in custody, but there was no evidence against them except the material captured with Doyle and this confession. If these remained concealed it wits reasonable to ex pect that they would soon be resur rected and put to use by the confed erates of the prisoners brockway'sgkipon smith. BrocVway soon began to suspect that the government had but slim evidence ajrainst him and therefore made overtures through his counsel, lie asserted that lie would le ac quited if the government sin mid rely wholly upon Smith's confession. He declared it could easily be proved that this confession, was full of lies. Smith had been a counterfeiter un der the guise of respectability since he was IS years old, and had done the fine work by which many dar ing ojicrators had won a reputation. Brock way added that he cuuld provu thatSmith murdered his wife. Smith had told him about it at the time. Mrs. Smith sometimes got intoxica ted, and while in this condition she cut her husband with a razor. Brock- way asserted that a bottle of w hisky charged with poison had been the cause of her death, which was pre ceded by great agony. At Brock: way s request, Sunth was brought beforo him, although the latter, who stood in great dread ot Broekway, begged the siccial agent, Drum inond, to spare him this ordeal. At the interview Broekway taunted Smith with the lmcompleteness of hi3 confession, and forced him to ulmit that he had been a counter feiter from his eighteenth year, and that hii first work had been dono for Jerry Cowden, a rioted counter- feiter of his day. lie also led him to admit that lie had worked for llelliner, another notorious opera tor, and that he had made a plate of the 5-2;) bonds. This last admis- has done, but the electors have not met to-day or voted, and it is thought by leading officials and lawyers here that they have no right to meet and vote next ednesdov. ! i j i Alabama, : : : 5T..240 P1.S75 i 4.G40 l.'t.'.T.V lT-.-.T.i Arkansas, : : : i 4-'.4.i W"'i j 4.i'7'.t : ' I":."' ; 7 California. : : : !

Thp facts, :;s nca.r as curt, be learned, are as follows : About ten years ago Joseph Sibs, who ran cheese factory two miles east of town, along the railroad, was found on the railroad in a mutilated con dition and insensible. He lingered for several days, and the only thinr he said was "Thpv killed me." Nothing could lie ' developed as to whether he w:i3 struck Ly the cars or with a weapon, and nothing was done t bout the matter till Sullivan gave himself up.

The vote prohib ited by force and intimidation, and the vote polled and not counted and thrown out, will aggregate much greater than is generally supposed. At the north tliere is a very large number of the foreign-born popu lation who are not neutralized, and, not being citizens, are not voters.
