4n 4j,pli ation of Secretary lioui
wtll's I ijiantial Fol ey.
The other day we called npcri a frier! ;I
who owed us a little bill and gently inti
ri'iated to him that v,e were in need of sorao
lruini'v V.'hr-switiAn hn e-f 1.: V..., - ,
Into his pockets, 'pulled out some' change.!
1
counted it over, and informed us that he
Ijnd money enough to pay' us, but said he
had pressing need of it for oilier purpo
se?, and requested us to wait a few days
"iger.if possible. To this request we
acceded, and he went on his way rejoic
ing ; and we went on our way meditating
t-thinking of the money we didn't get.
and. of Secretary I.outweii's manner of
paying debts which the circuinstauca so
forcibly snggested.
The Secretary reports that there are in
the Treasury of the United States, in coin,
S10S;10SlGo 81. and in currency, $ (.",
CSO 30, and claims the amount in the
Treasury, less the discount on the green
backs, as so much paid on the national
debt, and that the debt has been reduced
a corresponding amount. In other wort s,
this money in the Treasury is considered
3 assets with v.hich the United States can
pay that mr.ch of the debt; consequently
ihe Secretary reports it ns an art-xed pay
ment on, and reduction of, the debt.
Now, if the Secretary's theory is cor
rect, our friend has paid us the amount he
ows us. although wc have not received a
cent!' the money. lie owes us, s.iy ten
dollar s, and he has in his treasury ten dol
lars with which he m'njld pny us, therefore
:U assets balance his indebtedness, and
the debt is paid, reduced to nothing yet
Ihe money was not paid to us but was
paid to other parties for other purposes,
jir.d our demand stands unsatisfied. We
cannotec that our demand has been paid.
Rut, again : if, before this money ia the
United States Treasury should be expend
ed in the redemption of bonds or other
indebtedness, there should be a pressing de
maud in some new direction, and it should
Ijc so expended, it would not be a payment
of the debt nor assets as an offset against it;
yet this money in tile Treasury has been"
heralded forth as a great reduction of th'c
debt. .Modern improvements are some
what startling, but the financial ability
3ianifested under the new regime is the
most startling of all.
Democrats are willing to pay the na
tional debt in currencv in the kind of
currency with which the United States
bonds were purchased : but the Radi
cals denounce the Democratic policy as
repudiation, and demand that the debt.
principal aid interest, be paid in coin
Rut they have discovered a new and loyal
pfan of paying it in coin ; that is, by
having the coin in the Treasury, claim
credit for so much paid on the national
debt by reason thereof, and then spend
this money in Presidential pleasure and
electioneering tours, and in Congressional
Committee excursion.?. Great is the fnmn-
iul ability of the Radicals for parly pur
poses. ic 11: suit

toJti.
The Xallnn, a leading Republican pa
per published in New York, in speaking
on the 23d of September, of ihe prospects
of the Republican party in Pennsylvania,
gives utterance to the following signifi
cant ramarks :
'The new ticket which the Democratic
Committee has put up is, as we have al
ready said, a very strong one ; and this is
rot their only means of local slrentrth, as
they have raised the cry that the munici
pal rights of the city have been invaded
by the bill which gives the management
of Girard College, and other lerser chari
ties, to a board appointed by the judges :
and the cry has all the more force be
cause, as it happens, the board that has
actually been appointed cannot be said to
be well chosen. The general feeling
throughout the State in regard to the Fif
teenth Amendment by the last Legisla
ture, which many people hold to be di
rectly in contravention of the State Con
stitution, may also assist the Democrats.
Rut, on the other hand, it is not to be for
gotten that the Republicans are, if some
what apathetic, still linniy and well or
ganized ; that they have" to help them
what they had not last year, nor the year
before the Federal patronage, which is
jio small thing ; that the Secret:rv will
not refuse them the help of the Philadel
phia Navy Yard ; and in case ihe 'contest
ed election cases' 'contested elections'
me getting to be a IVnasylvani i political
'institution.' are in fuvoi of the Repub
licans, the police and other branches ot
municipal patronage will be restored to
their Lands."
Here it is clearly admitted that the De
mocracy of Pennsylvania had decidedly
O the advantage in men and in position, and
thruJHlie Republicans were apathetic, and
the probability is, that the Democracy
would have won the day had the contest.
boon g bur one ; but it was not. Govern
ment patronage was foretold and promised
and;furnished. We have the humiliating
spectacle of a President discarding for
tb&lHe Lemg. the a&Yirs of State for the
purpose of making a tour through Penn
sylvania for the advancement of the in-
terests of his poliiieal party. Next Sec

m-?n in their employ to
vote the Republican ticket? Or do thev
employ Republicans only ? employ men
because they vote the Republican ticket,
rather than for any skill they may possess
in doing the kind of work for which they
arc ostensibly employed? Next, if the
Republicans gained thx contested election
cases, the police were to be restored to
themfcr the benefit of the party in the
approaching election. We cannot see
how the restoration of the police would
assist-the party in any way. unless it
would be by the policemen concealing
and helping to carry out patty frauds,
which might be exposed and thwarted if
Democrats. were on the police force ; for
the men who would receive the police
appointments, if the Republicans gained
the cases, were resident voters, who would
vote the Republican ticket anyhow, wheth
er on the police force or not.
Then again the Clerks in the Depart
ments at Washington City were sent into
IVnmvlvania to vote the Republican
ckel," and drew pay for their time just
. ... . nil ien at work at
the same as if they had been at work at
their desks.
Dy paying ihe Clerks in the various
Government offices in Washington City to
go into Pennsylvania and vote at the late
election by sending men to the Phila
delphia, Navy Yard to vote by the as
sistance of the police in Philadelphia in
concealing and helping the Republicans
to perpetrate frauds on election day by
the liberal expenditure of public funds
for partisan purposes by thefts, frauds
and perjuries, the Republicans have suc
ceeded in carrying Pennsylvania, and it
would be strange it they had not succeed
ed under such Government patronage.
And it is not unlikely that the same high
handed, corrupting Government patron
age has been used in the other States
which have gone Republican iu the late
elections.
Sli'l .Agonizing for t"ie Cliincse.
The Daily Oregonian of the 20th con
tains the following sigh for more China
men :
'All there is in the Chinese labor ques
tion of which the opposition attempt to
make so much is simply this : Ry Chinese
labor the Pacific States are enabled to
open new sources ot wealth which ha've
heretofore formed no part of our system
of genera! development ; and this, so far
from crowding white laborers out of em
ployment, will actually open up the coun
try and create new avenues of industry
for white men where thev find nothing to
do.''
The assertion in the above extract that
Chinese labor ''will actually open up the
country and create new avenues of indus
try for white men where they now find
nothing to do," is at variance with the
facts in the case. We have had Chinese
laborers on this coast lor some time ; yet
they have not opened up any new ave
nues of industry, or been the cause ofanv
increased demand for white labor. Rut.
on the contrary they have been employed
to the exclusion of white men and women
respectable white laborers are being-
driven from this coast, and their places
liilfd with the filthy pagan heathen, that
can never be a respectable or beneficial
portion of our Society. Every person
woo has resided here one year, knows
this to bo a fact ; yet, in the face of such
facts, such papers as the Oregonian have
the brazen effrontery to assert, and insist.
that the employment of Chinese will be a
benefi: to the white laborer and to the
community at large. As a further evi
dence of the partiality of the Radicals
ior tiie Chinese, we might mention the
fact that persons are engaged in running
Chinamen into the Allan! icand Southern
btates by lens of thousands : which is a
source of exultation to that party, and
they taunt Democrats with this fact, and
sneer at thorn for their opposition to Chi
nese immigration.
Y'et the Radical press insist that the
Chinese question is not a party question
If this is so, if the Republi :an leaders
do not intend to enfranchise the Chinese.
and use them for party purposes, why do
the. Republican journals so universally
espouse the cause of the Chinese, and upon
every slight pretext, defend them with
such warmth ?
i he fact is, the enfranchisement of the
Cuinesc is the great object which the
leaders of the Republican party have in
view, and for the purpose of accomplish
ing this, and securing the votes of China
men, that party vonkl be willing to drive
all respectable laboring people from the
land and fill their daces with these new-
recruits to that party.
i ne Jiauicais urst enirancnised tno ne
gro and instituted a system of education
among the colored people, that they might
be enabled to vote intelligently for the
party that liberated them. Rut, unfortu
nately for that party, as soon as the ne
groes became sufficiently educated to dis
tinguish between right and wrong in poli
tics, they commenced voting with the De
mocracy, as the late elections in the
Southern States fully show, and thrre is a
strong probability, that in future, the Rad
icals will lose the greater portion of Ithe
negro vote.
To remedy this deficiency, they are now
zealously working for the enfranchise
ment of the Chinese in fact that party
has already commenced voting" Chinamen
ia Louisiana and this is the true canst'
of Radical partiality for the Chinese.

THE WOUKISG3IE.'S ITAIOX.
From the New York Herald.
This organization held ita regular fort
nightly meeting last evening at Early
Closing Hall, 2lif Ikriwjr, Mr. ebroa W.
Young,' the President, in the chair.
The credentials of the Knights of St.
Crispin were presented and they were ad
mitted. Mr. Thomas Connolly, the representa
tive of the Trades Council of Birmingham.
England, was introduced to the meeting
by the president, and proceeded to ad
dress the meeting. lie congratulated
himself on having arrived in America,
and was proud to breathe its free air and
tread its free soil. He thanked the work
ing men of America for the many services
they had rendered to the cause of labor in
Europe. The working classes of the old
country had taken their tone and line of
action from those of America, and much
of the freedom they enjoyed in England
thev were indebted to the American work
ing men for. In many cases they had
been successful in England and iu many
cases they had failed. Rut, succeed or
fail they thought they were working in a
glorious cause for the elevation of the
workingmen. The course thej had adopt
ed in combatting the employers of labor
n Europe, he was pleased to see, was be
ng adopted here. lie thought they had
as good aright to sell their labor at a fair
market price as any merchant had to sell
his goods, and they had done so through
the medium of unions. These unions had
become of so much importance in Eng-
and that the government had fcund it
necessary to appoint a commission to in
quire into their workings, and since the
report cf that committee the thinking peo-
le of England were not satisfied until
they saw some of their working men in
the House of Commons, assisting to make
the laws ot the country. He regretted to
say that the working classes of England
were not alive to their interests yet, but
the day was coming when the- would.
He wondered why it was that the wcrk-
ngmen of this country could never see the
advantage of sending some of their num
ber to Congress. He thought it was be
cause they did not take sufficient interest
n politics and allowed other men to think
for them. He was pleased to see that
here in America they had entered Into the
political arena and had formed a new
party which would represent their inter
ests fully and fairly. (Applause.) In
England they would never rest satisfied
until they had workingmen in the House
of Common. The speaker, after some
further remarks, closed by declaring that
the object of Ins visit to this country was
to gaiu what information he could as to
the workings of the labor organizations
and report to his own countrymen on his
return.
The Chairman commended Mr. Connolly
to the hands of the Union and hoped they
would give him all the information neces
sary.
The President read the credentials of
two delegates from an institution styled
the Practical House Painters Union. This
brought several delegates to their feet,
and after a long debate in whieh the so
ciety in question was stigmatised as a
" bogus"' one, having fought against the
regular Painters' Union and admitted into
its ranks a society known as the Dry Dock
Painters' Union, the credentials were re
jected.
The Committee on Mass Meeting having
reported consolidation with the represen
tatives of the German labor organization;,
the committee appointed to call on Gov
ernor Iloffm-.m repr. rted the receipt of a
letter from him signifying his intention of
being in New York shortly, when he would
receive the committee.
A long debate took place on the report
of the committee to inquire into the work
on the new Post Office and the hours of
labor caned on. Alterawime tne com
mittee was, by resolution, called upon to
prosecute the inquiry, a:;d the Union de
clared itself determined to have the Eight
Hour law enforced, and to apply to the
President of the United States in the prem
ises if necessary.
Arrangements for a grand mass meeting
of working men at the Cooper Institute
on Tuesday evening, the 12th instant.,
were then made, and nine English speak
ers were elected from the Trades Union to
deliver speeches on this occasion, in con
junction with nine German speakers here
tofore elected. No outside politicians
are to be permitted lo speak at the meet
ing.
After some further unimportant busi
ness the meeting adjourned.

That portion of our Republican politi
cians who hoped to gain votes among the
rish at the late election, ought to be sat
isfied that efforts in that direction are
vain. As a class", the Iri.di voted against
us. With few exceptions tboy belong
naturally to the negro-hating copperhead
)emocracy. In this city they were the
most active men on election day. The
ink was hardly dry on the naturalization
papers of several of them before the
were the noisiest politicians in the ranks
of the opposition. They are the most clam
orous of all men against "nigger equal-
ty,' but a majority of them are neither
as intelligent nor as good citizens as the
negroes. To disfranchise our colored cit
izens and give the ballot to the Irish is a
reproach to our civilization. The next
battle we have in Pennsylvania must be
to give the right of suffrage to the black
man.
