Licionier Valley, Pa., ) Sept. 15,1879. j Editor Courier—All political par- a have, from their earliest history, been afflicted with rings, cliques and combinations. These rings owe their origin to two or three circumstances, and have, doubtless, several objects in view, prominent among which is the dividing up and ultimate overthrow of the organisation with which they are identified. The Republican party con- tains rings; the Greenback party con tains rings, and, although the confes sion is an exceedingly humiliating .one, and one we are pained to make, the Democratic party contains them also. The number of issues involved in all political canvasses has, we think, some thing to do with the formation of rings; and there never was a political ring in existence that would hesitate for a mo ment if the alternative were presented to either carry a point or burst a party. Indeed the latter alternative seems to constitute the chief mission of every fing, And it matters not what may be the number of issues involved in apo litical campaign, there are always can- dates enough to represent and advocate each issue, and as all candidates have their friends, hence the ring, which are otfirat mete squads, but which finally fise to the dignity of organizations and eventually seek to overthrow the parties with which they are identified and whose name they bear. If there is anything in existence that needs “bust in'" ami that promptly and thorough ly. it is a political ring. And if our party was free from them we would have a great deal more room to talk He have often wondered why it was that even the Democratic party, cele- “fated as it is for sound principles and sound patriotism, should contain sui cidal elements. To prove the above preposition to be correct, nothing more 's necessary thau a glance at the state I°f affaire I This in our own county at present, county being largo, properous lni wealthy, constitutes, under the new institution, a j ut li c i a i district. We are now in the midst of a campaign for the 'action of a President Judge. The emocratic party is largely in the ma P 1 y in this county, hence the Repub- '“ana take but very little interest in the nmpaign.

It is IW? 11 * the duty of the people UJTm* rings, cliques principles rather than men. If the Democratic party needs anything it needs to be rid of these vampires who are engaged in extracting its life-blood. The triumph of sound Democratic prin ciples !b what we are after, and that triumph can never be achieved while our party contains elements at war with such principles. Charity beginB at home, and hence, if our party is thor oughly purged, that is about all we need care for. It mattors not to us— indeed it is rather in our favor—if the parties opposed to us are all rings. If so, all the better for us; but let us take care of the Democratic party. Now is the time to work. This time next year will be too late. What we are contend ing for is worth a struggle. Our oppo sition, by whatever name it may be known, or whether within our own ranks or without, must be hunted down and crushed. Whatever is op posed to Democratic principles is op posed also to Democratic success, and whatever is opposed to Democratic suc cess is opposed to the best interests of the country—self-government and civil liberty included. Hence, whatever stands in the way of Democratic suc cess must be promptly and thoroughly removed. The track must be cleared and the way opened for a successful race. And now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion, permit a word in regard to the Presi dential outlook. It is more or less flat tering. The Democratic race for the nomination will in all probability lie between Tilden and Thurman, especial ly, as seems quite probable, if General Ewing carries Ohio. If tho latter car ries that State we oan see nothing to prevent the availability of Thurman, who is probably more popular with a majority of the Demooratic party than Tilden, and our argument is that who ever is most popular is most available. And at this juncture, taking all the facta into account, and considering our great desire for Democratic success, we are almost ready to adopt the tactics of the enemy, and look to availability alone. Our idea, however, that the greatest amount of popularity creates the greatest amount of availability, will not bo found to be an infalible rule. For instance in the event of a Demo cratic defeat in Ohio this fall, Tilden, although less popular than /Thurman, would become more available. How ever, let us be true to ourselves, and a Democratic triumph is certain. Keystone Mr. Develin, a very prominent Dem ocrat and an ex-Sachem TammaDy, was asked by a reporter of the New York World if he believed the Tammany ticket will receive many votes. He re plied ns follows: “I certainly do not. Thero is one fact which the gentlemen who have bolted from the regular Democratic party and now ask public support in the interest of the Republican party seem to have overlooked. One of the features of the Republican platform as adopted at Sara toga was the indorsement of the right of national interference in State elec tions ; in other words, the indorsement of Davenport and his Marshals. Now, if there is any one set of voters who are more interested in this question than another, they are the foreign-born citi zens of New’York city. General Gar field, in his upeech in the West, dis tinctly announced that Federal inter ference was necessary to maintain the purity of elections in New York State —an open declaration that the Repub- licans mean to stand by Johnny Daven port and his measures. The foreign- born inhabitants of New York, as I said before, are interested in this sub ject. They are probably more interest ed in it than any other question at pres ent connected with polities. Now the foreign-born inhabitants of New York happen to be the class upon which John Kelly depends chiefly for support. Does he suppose, does Tammany Hall suppose that these voters, when they come to understand that voting for Mr. Kelly means substantially indorsing and supporting this obnoxious Repub lican platform, are going to walk up meekly to the polls and elect Mr. Cornell? The idea is preposterous. Matrimonial fairs are still kept up i the South of Ireland, where all the Iik- ly boys and girls” in the parish are on view, and all the “matches” in the year are made. Four days before there is quite a stir in the neighborhood, and a twitter runs through the entire population. There is aumversalBtitching and a buying of ribbons; every girl you meet on the road holds out her hand for six pence, and you cant speak to a do mestic servant without her hanging out signals of distress. On the day of the “Shroffing” the girls stand in a row on the village green, while “the^boya na The Chinese in New York A Knpiil increase in the Almond-Eyed Immigrants. The census taken in 1875 showed the entire Chinese population in New York city to be 157, all males, but the Her ald says the census of 1880 will tell a different tale. Then the Chinese were scattered here and there throughout the city; now headquarters have been estab lished in Mott street, which has as sumed the dimensions of a good sized colony. At the present time there are in New York over three hundred Chi nese laudries, fifty groceries, twenty to bacco stores, ten drug stores, six restau rants, and a variety of other establish ments. Over seventy-five have gone into domestic service. In Jersey City there are three factories which employ Chinese labor alone. One of these is a shirt factory, another is a shoe faotory, and the last is an establishmen for the manufacture of cheap outlery. It is said that a beer saloon has been opened in Hoboken by two Chinamen. In Brooklyn there are about fifty laundries, six cigar stores and one grocery. From statistics furnished by the most intelli gent and best informed of these people the population of New York has re ceived an addition of upwards of two thousand five hundred, inoluding two females. Tbs Chinese residents of Brooklyn number over two hundred and fifty male and two females. Jersey City and Hoboken boast about two hundred. About ten per cent, of these arrived in the city from Havana, the rest came overland from California. Over ninety-five per cent, of the total Chinese population are regularly en gaged in some honorable business. For the benefit of this thrifty community three Bohools are maintained by pri vate charity. Nearly a hundred adults and children attend these institutions, and their record as to aptness and intel ligence is very favorable. The St. Louis Republican, in an arti cle on Tilden and Tammany, says: The New York Republican journals are endeavoring to manufacture a great deal of political capital out of the Tam many bolt. They represent it as a split of tremendous importance, which de stroys all possibility of a Democratic victory, and that Mr. Tilden’s inability to prevent it exhibits his declining pow er. All this ia mere misrepresentation for political effect. The faot is that Mr. Tilden and Tammany Hall have long been in antagonism. He repre sents the refusal of the Democracy of the State to be dictated to by that or ganization. He acquired his distinc tion in New York politics years ago by throwing the gauntlet down to the Tweed-Tammany leaders and darine them to do their worst. The principal element in his fame is his independence of their friendship, and that all through his career he has fought their political schemes, exposed the abominable cor ruptions which characterized their man' agement and denounced their preten sions. He made no attempt to control their action at Syracuse. He and his friends met them once more in square fight and defeated them, as they had often done before. This is the true as pect of the case, and, instead of illus trating a decline in his political influ ence, it shows that it is as powerful as it ever was. The Detroit Free Press has very cleverly amended Senator Blaine’s tele gram to Senator Allison on the night of the Maine election. It says that Blaine’s dispatch should read as fol lows: “In a State which gave at the Presi dential election of 1868 a Republican majority of 28,000 in a total vote of 112,000—a majority equivalent to 250,- 000 in New York, which in 1872, in a total vote of 90,000 gave a Republican majority of 32,000—equivalent to over 230,000 in Ohio, whioh in 1876, in a to tal vote of 116,000, gave a Republican majority of 16,000—equivalent to 110,- 000 in Pennsylvania, the Republicans this year lack about 2,500 of receiving a majority of the popular vote. It is a terrible disappointment to me, and I fear that my Presidential prospects will be greatly impaired, owing to the ina bility of the Republicans, after an un- paralled expenditure of money, to se cure an absolute majority of the popu lar vote in Maine.” A Washington special says: Nine hundred tons of standard silver dollars are stored in the treasury. The amount increased last month, notwithstanding the payment of one-tenth of the current expenses of the Government in silver. Over $30,678,000 were stored in the vaults September 1. The Times’ speoial Bays: Contractors hove been paying their workmen in silver, which, with the amount paid out by the Government, has put such an abundance of silver in circulation ns to cause some of the most extreme silver advocates to oomplain of the overflow.
