PHILADELPHIA GOSSIP.

PniLADEiIIiIA, Sept u.
Politics are now running high, and the contest
in Philadelphia will be very warm. This week
will commence the strife in the wards and speak
crs are greatly in demand. The State with a re-
tluced majority is considered certain for the radi-
Gals The reason why say reduced majority Is
that the rec nifty enacted excise law will take
away lew votes from the radicals. You know
my boy, that the 9 Suriatt Club always appeals
10 the stomach Of the mob, and not 10 their
brains, for the reason suppose already granted,
that mobs occasionally are not known 10 be bless
cd with brains. / recently took ride through
the various Republican wards here, and after n
mathematical calculation Of onr losses, ! can
safely predict that our majority for the city Will
be about two thousand, perhaps twenty-five hun
drcd, ON the general ticket. OF course the
"Surratt'' organ of the city will claim II great
victory even if we lose five hundred votes; but
the fact Of the business is that in city like Pha-
| delphil where there are hincty-two drinking
saloons in one square (Sixth 81. between South
and Shppcn,) it would be folly To suppose that q
respectable party like the Radicals could hold i'll
heavy majority Of last year.
The papers of the city are all fighting for thu
side of their choice. The Age and Herah with {
combined circulation of About nine thousand fv,
hundred, are the only " Surrait organs" All th,
rest form a united front, with the Bulletin 10

II Il considered that Mr.. Seward does not
really desire settlement OF the Alabama
claims. The charge is strong one TO bring
againsi The man who more than any other
individuul holds in his hands the issues of
peace and war between England and Amer
lea. But if this theory he not the correct
one. MIR. Stewards diplomacy is hard to I'M
derstand The Alabama business was in
fair way of adjustment. Earl Russell, the
original sinner, had gone out of office. 1t
need not be supposed that Lord Stanley was
over-anxious to defend the political reputa-
ton of his political rival. On the ohw
hand, by his declarations in Parliament, and
by the conciliatory tone in which the pre-
sent Foreign Minister renewed the ncgotia-
tions which, under Lord Russell, had come
to an abrupt conclusion, Lord Stanley
showed disposition to arrive at fair
agreement What he is reported as saying
privately confirms the sincerity of his pur-
pose Public opinion in England has the
same tendency. 1t is really felt here that
the Alabama business is an ugly one. No
Englishman of high station in politics wants
to acknowledge that Great Britain acted
with positive bad faith in the matter, but
nobody now denies that, if the Ministry had
shown little more energy, the escape of
the Anglo Rebel pirates would have been
prevented
America has for three years pressed her
claims to indemnity for the depredaiions OF
the Alabama and the comrade- corsairs of
that ship. She proposed arbitration. Eng
land rejected arbitration. The Ministry
which rejected it went out of Office, and the
discussion was reopened with new Minis,
try, in no way responsible for the errors o.
the old. The new ministry indicated plain
desire for an amicable settlemen, and
readiness TO agree to arbitration, II Is al
this moment That Mr.. Seward suddenly pre-
SCENTS new claim, based upon the prema
ture recognition of the Confederacy by Grea
Britain, and demands that damages arising
out of that injury should be included m I'll!
Stanley could yield to this new demand.

A Word of Explanation.

The Republican, of Thursday, contains most
singular article, apparently written by a Demo-
crat, and inserted either in the absence Of the
editor-in-chief or without his customary strict su-
pervision. 1t represcnts that the Union men in the
Border States who favor negro suffrage are in
"iluenced more by policy than scnss If iustice -
and states that 6" the advantages that VIII occrue
from the control of the State Governmen, no
''concie us to any unpleasantness that may At
"tach to going to polls with black men," &C. &c.
Having rather intimate knowledge of the his
tory Of tho Equal Rights movement in the Border
States, and Of the motives which actuate the
men who are active in It, we repudiatc with in
ulgnation the arguments offered and assertion,
made by the Republican. They are not true, ant
their publication would be most discredtabe ant
indiscreet if they were. The paradine of sucl

SPEAKER CoIrAx has always been justly
noted for happy way of quitting things.
One Of the most marked illustrations OF this
faculty is furnished in his late letter to the
Border State Convention, in which he thus
put the argument for manhood suffrage

ses by the tens OF thousands every man VINO

free citizens of the United States, and I'M
mistakeably loyal, if such a State has re-
publican government, | would like some

Congress has no right TO NEEDLE with our
State Constitution. or with the question of
suffrage in Delaware.
So says the gazette, knowing better all
the time. If this State has an anti-rcpublican
government, Congress is bound by the Ma
tional Constitution 10 remedy the defect and
protect the equal rights Of the citizens. The
only question arising is one Of fact, whether
the Constitution is Republican or not, and
upon this point the Judiciary Committee Of
the House are about to take evidence. Know
ing that the truth is all against them, the
Gazette and its friends who have so long
held Delaware under the heel Of minority
are naturally alarmed

The GAZETTE publishes in full the letter
of Senator Trumbull to the Chicago I'D
rance, wherein he says, that one way OF
securing Impartial Suffrage throughout the
Union is for the States themselves to adopt
It, "and its justice being made apparent
sit is to be hoped il WiH soon commend
g itself to ALL" This is a sentiment so en-
inently just and patriotic that we are natur-
ally surprised to find it in the Gazette, es-
pecially as attention is editorially directed
to the speech, which is denominated as
strong argument"
Concerning Mr.. Trumbull's argument
against the Constitutional power Of Congress
to regulate Suffrage in the States, it is sutii-
cient to say that Mr.. Trumbull follows, not
leads, the Republican party, and that he
and his Conservative companisns in the
Senate have finally come up to Radical
ground, on every measure of the party
which they'll many instances, at first siren
uously opposed Mr. Sumner has long
been of the opinion that Congress could
and should regulate Suffrage, and he is al
WAYS from one to two years in advance o.
Mr. Trumbull. So let the Gazette be pa
tisnt and wait for the good time coming.

The CONDITION of the money market in
the large cities Of the East is attracting at
tention. During the whole OF the month
there has been steadily increasing string
ency, and the rate OF interest in New York,
rules fully three per cent higher than ut Inc
commencement OF October. In that city,
for some time past the banks have been
steadily working into closer condition,a ana
during last week the scarcity OF funds was SO
decided as to produce general realising
upon securities.
II is believed that this stringency is STREET
ly natural and such as might have reasona-

flow of funds Westward, for the purpose oil
moving the crops As these come INTO
market in exchange for manufactured goods,
the money will return and the tight market
