THE IRWIN DINNER.

The Pttsburg Morning Post Of Saturday last has
the following account of the Irwin dinner;
On Thursday evening" long before the hour fixed
for serving up the entertainment in honor of popu-
lar representative, Hon. w w. Irwin, the halls and
parlors of the Exchange filed with our citizens
anxious to do honor 10 this faithful public servant
and to take leave Of him before his departure for the
court Of Denmark. The thronged assemblage en-
braced people Of all shades Of political opinion
there We're plenty Of sterling old Democrats from
town and country.
When dinner announced, nearly two hundred
persons took their seats and many, told were
unable to procure places, much did the crowd ex.
coed the anticipatons Of the committee.
Col. VIM. Robinson, jr presided, and Mcssrs Da-
yid Richie and S. w. Black acted Secretaries.
The President briefly and handsomely recounted
the merits and services Of their guest and concluded
by an appropriate sentiment in his honor. The re-
ply Of Mr. Irwin evidenced the deep emotions crca-
ted by the warm and kindly feelings exhibited by his
towDsmen, and after an appropriate acknowledge
ment Of hi. obligations to them he briefly alluded to
his course as a member of Congress. His remarks
proved the deep and constant interest he felt In the
welfare of his district, and the sngle-mnded zeal
with which be advocated every project for the ad-
vancement OF the interests Of his constituents
After the graver matters disposed OF, several
persons were successfully called upon by sentiments
Judge wilkins especially happy in bis response
TO the toast which brought him out. He compli-
men,ed Mr. Irwin in the warmcst and kindest terms,
and playfuy alluded to the fact that, although he
had been Mr.. Is competitor in 1910, he took great
pleasure in tae honors that gentleman had won at
his expense.

bett and many other gentlemen, we're called out by
various sentiments, and all of them acquitted them
selves well, although many. were unused to public
speaking
Had Mr.. Irwin been old man had he been clo-
sing, instead Of just beginning brilliant career
had he been enjoying the reward Of the labors Of half
century-such a greeting would have been Of the
most grateful character But TO a man comparative
ly young, who has such proud tribute to his
merits and services it will be doubly gratifying and
proves that he possesses invaluable qualities Of head
and heart for moth ng less could gain such honor from
a whole community.

The legislature has varied very little from last
year. far heard from it was then strongly dem
Ocratc. Thus far the democrats have chosen fifty
two and the wings twenty-five members OF the House
The Senate will also be strongly democratic.
Four members of Congress were to be chosen at
this election. In the first district, comprising the
counties of Hartford and Tolland the democratic
candidate, Thomas II. Seymour, has been chosen.
In the second district, comprising the counties OF
Middlesex and New Haven, there not sufficient
returns to decide the election New Haven county
is favorable to the wing candidate, but Mddlesex
county will probably give democratic vote that will
oyerbalance these indications. We think the demo
cratic candidate has succeeded. The wings do not
by any means claim IT,
In the third district, composed of the counties OF
New London and Windham the democratic cand-
date, George Catlin, is elected.
In the fourth district composed Of the counties of
Fairfield and Litchfeld sufficient returns have not
been received to decide the election.
Thus it will be that the opponents Of all kinds
wings, abolitionists, &c, are routed before the
democrats of Connecticut Now let it be remember
ed that the democrats of New York to carry off

George S. Catlin, the democratic candidate for

The Norwich News says
1t will be observed by reference 10 the Repre-
sentative list that Norwich has made no choice. ,
Let the democrats remember that Monday next is the
day appointed for the second trial lie, every dem
ocrat be the ground and if they are united, they
elect those two staunch democrats, Sherman

lists. Democrats, we can do it-and let US do il!
Our victory will then be complete.

THE UNITED STATES AND CIIINA-A
GOOD IDEA

The Albany Argus says polite suggestion has
lately been made for the purpose Of securing the
good will Of the Chinese government in behalf Of
these United States. The President has appointed
Edward Everett commissioner 10 China The sug-
gestiop Is simply this Let the American minister
have the hstory-of the Revolution and the last war
Of the United States with Great Britain, translated
into the Chinese language and let him, after hls
rival, have a large number Of copies struck of in
that language, and let these be distributed among the
princes Of the blood royal, including Of course the
Emperor, and the great mandarins and officers Of the
Empire and thus we will plant the seed Of fruit
ful and enduring harvest for own country.
At this moment the Chinese consider the English
the most powerful and dreaded Of all "the Barba-
riansn Of the civilized world But if they can learn
and believe that the United States have met England
not long since, in two wars, and have been the VIC
tors, and At each time have concluded an honorable
peace In spite Of all the vast armies and resources OF
the British empire, the Chinese must feel not only
respect but awe, for the nation which could worst
even their most dreaded enemy. In this respect his
tory gives the United States the advantage over al
most any other nation Of the civilized world; for
what people can show such trophies the American
Eagle has torn, with biz tslops from the Of g.

The whole country knows that Col. BENTON has,

that il was old Roman-nose who killed il al the

If the editor of this print has distinguished
himself for anything the unyieding opposition which
he has made TO national bank throughout his pub

The world does you more justice Cheva-

guished for having made yourself one Of the
richest men in Washington. Butthere is one evil
dence of your hostility to Bank that you have
forgotten to mention. You borrowed $4,000

institution you could not consent TO permit the
monster to have more than three hundred dol

THE ADMINISTRATION PRESCRIBED.

THE ADMINISTRATION PROSCRIBED.
The work Of Prescription is going on at
tremendous rate The Globe and Pennsylva-
man are excessively busy in their sanguinary
line. They stab the President while the Clay
Wing. hold him fast. The Clay presses seized
upon him for appointing Democrat Secretary
of War; they declared it tob be an "outrage,"
Notwithstanding their leaders had just rejected
Mr.. Cushing-and the Globe and Mr.. Benton
and the Pennsylvania, pouDced down upon
the Secretary with their quill daggers, and, de-
nouncing him as g renegade" thrust away at
him without reserve" Mr.. Benton too. as
well as the Clay Wings, had voted against the
nominations.
But the cruel confsderstes are not only re-
solved that the President shall make neither
Wing nor Democratic appointments, but that
nobody, neither Democrat nor Wing, shall
speak word or write word 10 his Defence
A few days ago the Governor Of Pennsylvania
was handed communication, written by a
friend, which advocated President TyleI's pre-
tensions Is candidate in 1874; and the Gov
ernor, meeting with the editor Of the Harrisburg
keystone, placed the communication in his
hands, perhaps asking him TO publish il. The
keystone man, having the fear Of the Globe be-
fore his eyes, forthwith raised the cry Of TREA-
son II was echoed by the Globe and Pennsyl-
vanian with all sorts of additions. The Demo-
cracy were bought and sold! 1t was all done
no mistake about that Gov. Porter had sold
the State 70 Presiden, Tyler 1t was another
Burr conspiracy Gov. Porter happening to be
a Governor, and the Globe and Mr.. Benton hav-
ing issued an edict that any Democrat who
should be detected in countenancing the Presi-
dent-a President who had the audacity and i'm
pudence to appoint Democrats TO ofdce-must
be denounced as renegade" and "apostale. /"
il 10 no wonder that the Governor was pelled
" without reservev'
The President is not only " denounced with
out reserve" for appointing Democrats to office,
and for being supported for the Presidency in
1874, by the Pennsylvania, the Globe and MIR.

bic friend of the President, are not to be per-
mitted TO issue prospectu. to obtain new sub
scribers in these savage times of prescription
Well, if the Globe and Mr.. Benton and the

selves, perhaps they will grow more tolerant in
the end. We may be permitted, we trust hum

Then came the second, middle class an order that

stockings. The third, or lower class went barefoot
