Xj. A. C. are the cabalistic initials of a
new Democratic MJCret orderof a eemi-iuili-tary

they represent and meau "Grand Army of

The Democratic State Convention of
Connecticut, have just passed a series of
denunciatory resolutions against the fifteenth

Connecticut for thus "warning oft"' the col

The school question is up in New York
in a somewhat different shape from that in
which they had it in Cincinnati. It is not
a question for the courts there, but for the
Legislature, which now has it in hand : and
it docs not there refer to Bible reading in
the schools, but to the special appropriation
of money for the support of schools under
the control of the Roman Catholic Church.
The question there threatens to be even
more disturbing than it was in the "Queen
City;" and it now looks as though, if the
agitation be carried on, the sectarian lines
would be strictly drawn, and the most bane
ful religious rancor aroused on both sides.
"The Scalpers," is the name assumed by
a faction of the Democratic party in New
York city a not very inappropriate appel
lation, surely ; for.during the rebellion tbey
' scalped" quite a number ot Union men in
the streets of that city, and the "scalping"
process is still a matter ef almost daily oc-.
eurrence. But "scalpers," iu this instance,
is only a political appellation a nomencla
ture for which New York has long been fa
mous. This year the opposing Democratic
factions are known as the "Ilay-loft-and-cbeese
press" wing, and the "Scalpers"
the on indicating the rural, and the other
the eity opponents of Tammany. Well, let
'em "scalp" one another as much as they
please the people will be the gainers, by
the process, in the end.
A cotemporary says : A smart mulatto
member of the Virginia Legislature made
quite a sensatiou the other day by declaringi
in debate, . Gentlemen, i have some of the
best white blood of Virginia coui Jng in my
veins. On one side I can claim as higha,:d
honorable descent as any Sonator in this
Chamber. Gentlemen, lam your brother;
I am also the colored man's brother. I rep
resent both races. I am an Anglo Saxon
and an Anglo-African, and I desire to do
justiceto my kin on both side." The South
ern Democracy, when dealing with the col
ored statesmen, should be Tery carefnl wliom
tbey strike. It is not every white man
South who knows his own brother. This
able legislator, it seems, has not only gump
tion enough to know his friends from his
enemies, but to know who his relatives are
as wtlL The pM F- F. V. pride will crop
out sometimes.
Trades Unions.
A great depression of trade prevails eve
rywhere on the Uuropeati coutinentaswell
as in the United States and an universal de
gree of attention Is being given to the sub
ject. Wide differences of opinion prevail as
to toe cause ot this unfavorable condition of
business affairs each person's views doubt
less being biassed by his immediate sur
roundings and equally various are the
propositions for relief that are advanced ;
one favoring a protective tariff, another free
trade, a third an cxpan.iion of the currency,
but ali agreeing that an early resumption of
specie payments would go far toward effect
ing the desired result. With other indus
trial classes, mjehanics of all kinds have ex
perienced the full effects of the stringent
times, and hence it is that in the cities they
shouM form societies for the avowed pur
pose of maintaining a high rate of wages,
and of otherwise benefiting their members.
It is aquestion.however.whether tho.ie labor
pro'eeeive associations accomplish the ob
j-?ct for which they are organized in our
country. Certain is it that in Europe they
have failed in their anticipated effect. In
some bra iches of trade, business has either
been destroyed or driven elsewhere by the
harrastuents which have resulted from the
rules, regulations or strikes of the Unions.
This was the case with shipbuilding on the
Thames. France is now filling the orders
that used to come io England. A few years
ago, England supplied locomotives to France,
Germany, Austria, Holland, Brussels and
Spain; now France, Germany, and Austria
not otily supply most of the Continental de
mand but even send them to England and
India. Colliers dictate the price of coals :
aud bad and dear bricks are forced upon the
whole building trade by the brickmakers.
In 1827-8 a seven weeks' strike terminated
in a species of work (Gros de Naples, ) which
then supplied 400 hand loom weavers, leav
ing its district and driving it to Lancashire.
In I347-8 anarticle (jet coids) employing on
an average 500 looms, was driven away for
similar causes. Since that time the manu
facture of figured broad silks was attempted,
but giveu up and driven to Middieton, Lan
cash ire. In 18C1 a fancy velvet trade was
being carefully cultured, but shared a like
fate with the above-mentioned, and is gone
to Germany. Other kinds of business have
suffered in the same way. And now the
English capitalist, if he has too much diffi
culty with his workmen, quietly transfers
his business to some other locality, to Scot
land, and if that will Hot do, to Belgium, or
Switzerland. He becomes rich bv this m-
ration, whilst the workmen become propor
tionately poorer. That the Trades' Unions
are the natural offspring of the concentra
tiDn of capital, and the formation of great
monopolies ot various kinds, is not to be
denied ; but the facts above mentioned are
too significant to be passed by without
thoughtful omisideration on the part of
those who compose similar associations in
the United State, and it is to be hoped that
a jourse will be pursued which will tend to
harmonize. intoal of Li25ln intg UuufliCl,
the interests of labor and capital. This is
the correct policy, and if adopted cannot fail
to benefit all concerned.
The Whittemore Cadeiahip Case,
The case of B. F. Whittemore, member
of Congress from the First District, South
Carolina, convicted of selling two cadet
ships, was finally disposed of in the House
on Thursday ef hist week. He evaded ex
pulsion by sending to the Speaker's Chair
a communication covering a telegraphic dis
patch tendering hrs resignation to the Gov
ernor ot South Carolina, and another an
nouncing the Governor's acceptance of the
resignation. He attempted to address the
House in defeuse or explanation of bis con
: duct, but was stonncd hv i!iiSn,iilr trl.
' ' "
roW to recognize him as a member.
r'-i.VvtWns any longer a member cf the
House, ho could not, ofcoursf, be expelled: i
but in order to test the sense of the House
in regard to his conduct, the following reso
lution, offered by General Logan, was a
dopted by a vote of lt5, no vote iu the
negative :
Uesuhrd, That B. F. Whittemore. late
member from the rirst District of Souih
Carolina, did make appointments to the
Military Academy at West Point and to
the Navy Academy at Annapolis, in viola
tion of the laws, and that such appoint
ments were influenced by pecuniary con
sideration, and that his conduct in the prem-i-s
has been such as to show him unworthy
ot a seat in the House of Representatives,
and theietord is un lemaad as condiu t un
worthy of a representative of the people.
There are said to be three or four other
cases, almost as clear as WhittemoreVfthat
will probably soon be reported to the House,
which, should it retain its present temper
that long, will make short work of these
unprincipled men, who have partered both
conscience and honor for gold. It is high
time that legislative corruption is ferreted
out and the guilty parties punished.
The report of the Adjutant General of
Pennsylvania, just issued, show.- t'le presence
of a very considerable mili'ary spirit in our
midst, and also proves that that spirit is on
the increase. In IS67 there were but thirty
eight 'companies of uniformed militia in
existence in the whole state. In 1803 they
had increased to seventy-eight companies.
This year shows one hundred and sixty eight
companies in actual organization and con
dition for set vice, and, in addition, twenty
five companies arc organising. Of the one
hundred and seven companies organized
during IXC9, fifty six, more than one-half,
were raised in Philadelphia. The city oom
pans are organized in regiments, which are
in turn brigaded, forming the First Division
I'ettsylvauia State Militia.
At Par at Last. The New York Wnrll
of Thursday, says : "TesLfrday (Wednes
day 23d") the Government six per cents of
18S1 reached 117, which was the priej
of gold during part of the afternoon. In
other words, the sixes of 1881 were at par
of gold. As this is the first time since the
depreciation of our currency first began that
Government of any kind have commanded
the same price as gold, the day deserves to
be remembered." Does not this statement
involve something of a compliment to the
administration of Geocrul Grant.
Death of Ansca Burliagame
Last week, the country was startled by
tfiej announcement, by cable, of the death
of Hon An; on Burlingamr( at St. Peteis
burg. He was a native of Massachusetts,
but, for the last two years, has been con
spicuous in his native country, and at near
ly every Capital in Europe, as the duly ac
credited diplomatic representative of the
Chinese Empire, lie first became eminent
in publie life in bis own land, as a Congress
man, elected f i om Massachusetts, seven'
teen or eighteen years ago, ' on the over
whelming wave of reactionary . sentiment,
in that State, with which the free spirit ot
the North protested against and denounced
the base truekliug of the compromises of
1850. In Congress, Mr. Burlingame won
a high and universal regard tor the.puiity
of bis personal aud political character, for
his loyal devotion to the cause of liberty,
and for the marked ability of his represen
tative career. Leaving Concress be was
appointed by President Lincoln, our Min
ister to CLiua, and continued to reside, as
such, near the Government of Pekin, until
it was determined by the latter to send its
first formal embassy to the powers of the
western world. It has alwsys been known
that the influence of our own Miuister was
most potent in persuading the Chine Gov
ernment to this unprecedented step. It
was not surprising, then, that the charge
of this difficult trust should have been of
fered to him by the Imperial authorities,
or that, resigning his position as the Amer
ican envoy at that Court he should have ac
cepted thefce novel duties with prompti
tude. As the Ambassador of China to the Re
public and to the European powers, and ac
companied by a large suite of Mandarins
of high rank aud an almost royal retinue,
our citizen of Massachusetts left the Flow
ery Land, landing first upon our Pacific
coast, nearly two years since, and had, up
to this date, visited nearly every Capital in
Christendom, bearing among his creden
tials a roving commission as the representa
tive of the oldest and most populous Em
pire on the earth to all governments in the
civilized world.
This mission has had for its avowed ob
jects, the inauguration of an international
policy which should open the Chinese Em
pire to the Western civilization, and lead
to a better recognition of that Empire as
an active member in the great family of na-
'tious.
How much of this he bad already accom
plished, or how much has beeu lost by hif
death, both "to China and to the Chri.-tian
West, is at present only a matter for spec
ulation. We shall hope that the policy
which he seemed ta be inaugurating so sue
cessfully, until thus suddenly cut off, 'may
not be abandoned, but be committed to oth
er hands not less honest or capable, or en
joying less the general conndence ot the
world.
Thj Watt-Diamond Case.
The committee in tba Watt Diamond
contested election case, met on Wednesday
of last week, when the counsel on behalf of
Mr. Watt presented a large mass of ovidence,
chiefly consisting of returns filed in the
Prothonotary's office. Nearly every one of
these presented the fact that Mr. Watt had
been grossly cheated in various wards.
After Mr. Wntt's coun.1 had proven
these irregularities, thay asked the com
mittee to count one ot the divisions in the
Fourth ward.' Mr. Diamond's counsel
strenuously opposed this motion, but the
committee decided, finally, to count the
ballots, which they did, with the following
result: W;itt, It: Diamond, 143.
The original returns gave Mr. Watt but
147 votes ; I S votes less than he actual! re
ceived. Tlie vote returned for Mr. Dia
mond was 162, whilst lie had only 146 tick
ets ta the box thus making a change of
34 votes in favor of Mr. Watt out of a poll
of 311 votes.
Mr. Watt gained 179 votes on the coUDt
of the Third ward and the recount of the '
ballot-box of the Ninth precinct of the
Fourth ward, before the Legislative com
mittee. Thus far the investigation in this
cise shows the most glaaring frauds on the
part of the Democracy in Philadelphia, at
the last general election. We presume,
Mr. Watt will succeed in proving frauds
sufficient to give him his seat iu the State
Senate.
Indiana Divorces. The Supreme Court
of the United states has rendered a decision
of importance to th ise interested in the
legality Indiana divorces. The ease came up
on an appeal from the Supreme court of the
District of Columbia, which decided the Ind
iana divorce laws void on each ot the subjects
which it claims to dispose, vis: the divorce,
the property and the children. The Supreme
Court of the United States, Mr. Justice
Swaynk rendering the decision, reversed
the decree of the lower Court, taking the
ground that as the divorce is valid by the
laws of Indiana and has never been ques
tioned there under the Constitution ot the
United states, it must prevail in every other
part of the country. Justice Swayne also
asserts that, so far from being bound by the
domicile of her husband, a married woman
may acquire a residence independent of the
husband whenever such a residence is neces
sary to the protection of her rights by liti
gation. A Handsome Beqckht. Even a miser
may do a good thing when death takes him
by the tb i oat, if at no other time. George
Fox, a miser, who died recently in Third
Avenue, New York, has willed his property
valued at $490,000 to the United States to
be applied to the payment of the national
debt. Three nieces and nephews, now liv
ing in a tenement house in Brooklyn, are
cob testing the will.
Abuses increase in magnitude the longer
thoy exist. Forty-five years ago a paper con
Ujning garden seeds, with the frank of a
New Hampshire member of Congress on the
wrapper, became broken in the mail, and
reached the Concord Postoffic in thatplight
It was considered such a wrong that the
papers cried out against it, and the offender
failed of reelection.

Messrs. Fik & Hatch have introduced

in opening a new route from the West to
the Atlatitic which promises to coine in
formidable competition with the great trunk
roads of the. Atlantic coast causes this
Loan to rank foremost among the many now

by the most prominent and successful rail

ers who have marketed the largest railway
loans of late years including the Centra
Pacific atH the Western PaciSc and whose
reputation for caution, honor, and conscien
