GOVERNMENT OLE CITIES

The effort of the taxpayers of Baltimore to Sc
cure for themselves decent and just admnistra-
ton of municipal affairs, has the sympathy of all
claw and ORDER men throughout the whole coun-
try; and however distastefu it may be to them,
there is no thinking, earnest man in the Republic
who is not interested in their endeavor to prove
that for the government of American cities, Demo-
cracy is not a failure. They have encountered in
its length and breadth, the difficulty which has
been foretod as inseparable from Democratic insti
buttons, when moulded by the hands of the igno
rant and vcious and their present struggle against
the "Rip-Raps," "Tigers," " Blood-Tubs," and
other associations of rowdies and desperadoes, is
symptomatlc only of what all other municipalities
must sooner or later encounter. Hence, the sin
cere wishes for their triumph follow them in every
step that they take. Their case is probably worse
than that which any Northern city will present.
Schooled in the excuses of temper, the violent
passions and the use Of deadly weapons, which
are incident to the lawlessness and inius-
tice of slavery, their rowdies are the types
and representatives of the worst popula-
ton that our institutions permit but with modica
tions suited to latitude and the different prevailing
institutions, their troubles are those which New
York. Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Chicago, ST. Louis,
and New Orleans must finally encounter. Their
success or their failure in restraining the bloody
hand which now wieds the power of the munich
paity in curbing the license which respects neither
life nor property, age, SEX or condition, in repress
ing the bad and attracting the good, we look to as
indicative of success or failure elsewhere; hence we
exhort them to persevere to the end-never to Weld
their point abate their effort until the hopeless
ness Oh their task their unquestioned triumph is

secure. We commend their moderation and ap-
prove their measures Men less wise than the Bati-
moreans have proved themselves to be, would have
been impelled to an extreme policy, which none
could defend. But armed with the law and demand
ing only justice, they do not appeal to the country
in vain. ..
From the riotous misconduct, the bloody arbitra-
ment and the murderous injustice which prevail in
that distracted city, the men of wealth and posi-
ton in all other cities have important lesson to
learn. 1t is this They cannot, with justice to
watch the springs of political power the primary
and ward meetings in which the candidates for
office are named. We have preached this to the
men of Chicago times enough, but we renew the
exhortation now. Let them remember that not
at the polls, but in the ward meetings the officers
of the city chosen and that if they refuse their
presence at the latter and give up to pothouse poll
ticians and ruffans, the choice of men by whom
they will be ruled, rather by whom their re-
spective parties viii be governed, they have only
themselves to blame if anarchy is the consequence
of their neglect. Every American citizen is or
ought to be politician-not wrangling, housing,
oflice-hunting scamp-but politician in the best
meaning of the word. No man can neglect his
political duties much less can the men who control
the commerce, give tone to the churches, and make
their mark upon the society of a city; shirk the
duties which citizenship and the possession of an
estate bring in their train. When they do this.
the reign of the anarchy which now has aroused
Baltimore to patriotic and noble effort, is not
far off

Mr.. SWAMI, in his last note to the Central Re-
form Committee, expresses ''surprise" at the
charge that 'at the last Election, many Judges
'received and recorded large numbers of illegal
"votes." He desires to be furnished with the
names of the parties implicated, "and the legal
"proofs" of their derelicton of duty. Their
names he can be at no trouble to ascertain, mas
much as they are those of his own appointees;
and for proof of the charge he need look no
further than to the returns of the election-con-
corning which, The Baltimore american on Octo-
Der 10th, 1858, said-"those returns, indeed,
bear on their face the so palpable impress of
'fraud and violence, that any dispute on the
"subject among fair-minded and intelligent men
lis impossible" For the purpose of refreshing
the public recollection on this point, we publish
below the returns in question, together with those
of the MAYORS Election in 1856, and the Gov
ERNoRs Election in 1857:

NOZZLE TRAIToP cu,p,crrp

1t appears from the nineteenth general report of
the British Emigration Commissioners that the
amount of money RENTED by Irish settlers in
America, for assisting the emigration of friends in
Ireland, during the past year, was So 287 1922 and
that during the ten preceding years, the sum re-
mitted amounted in all to FORTY SIX MILLIONS NINE
TY-FIvE THOUSAND DOLLARS
We doubt whether family attachment has ever
before manifested itself in such manner and on
such scale, in the history of nations Think of it!
The great body of the Irish emigrants are poor Ia
borers, working on the railroads and canals of the
country, and seeming to superficial observers to
have scarcely any sentiments feelings in common
with their kind. They have their faults as all
men have and these faults, unfortunately for Them
lie mostly on the surface while those of most men
do not. They come to this country with nothing,
obtain employment at once, are active Industrious
and successful and the first use they make of their
money is to provide for those they have left behind
and to bring them to a land where they too, can
obtain and enjoy the rewards of labor, and where
the broken family circle may be reunited under
happier auspices. Could mobiles or princes show
more noble and royal trait of character? 1t ought
to cover multitude of SINS and atone for an occa
sonal excess in the use of the cratar, and invest
with kind of dignity even the "sprig of shilleah"
which has broken so many heads.
The contributions of all the churches in this coun-
try to Bible, Tract, Missionary and Colonization
purposes from the establishment of those socie-
ties to this day, is SIS, 65S,537 sum which, large
as it is, has been nearly doubled by the enormous
amount contributed in ten years by Door Irish
working people in the United States to aid their
poor relations at home, and to bring the old father
and mother, the brothers and sisters, to a land of
plenty and hopel-RichmondD Despatch.
