The Hon. II. " Miller, conservative senator
elect from Georgia, has written letter to
friend in Washington, in which he says:
placed myself in opposition to nearly all my
friends, by frankly accepting the terms rendered

gratifying to me that, while actively and open.
~ opposed them, l retained their confidence, and
they will understand that will, as a citizen, or

THE ISSUES OF TIE DAY
Judge Kelley and John Quincy Adams
Give Their Views Thereon.

HON. VIM D. KELLEY AT CONCERT HALL.-An-
other vast gathering collected last night at Concert
Hall, to listen to address upon current events
from Judge Kelley. The assemblage was called to
order by Captain John Il. Addicks, upon whose
motion Henry O. Carey, Esq, was called TO the
chair.
Mr.. Carey, after a few graceful remarks, intro
duced to the assemblage Hon. VIM ID. Kelley, the
orator of the evening.
The speaker began by expressing his qualification
at the welcome everywhere extended to him in this
his native city. His pleasantest duty was to CON
gratulate those before him that this city, county,
State and country would declare at once for the
cause of the Union. (ApplauseO The majority of
the Republican party week from tonight would,
he believed be larger than 1t has been before.
The people have read the Democratic platform.
The speaker, to obtain a copy of it, had searched
through all the Democratic exchange papers in the
sanctuIn of a prominent newspaper in this city.
After scrutinizing some scores of Democratic jour
nails, at last they found 1t in the columns of the
New Orleans Delta No other paper in the large
number of those searched contained it.
The speaker had lately been a carpet-bagger.
He had been to Maine (vociferous cheering) and
in twentysix States of the Union he had been car
ryng about his satchel. He would like to speak
as to the general issues of the day, but would
conine himself to refutation of the ISLANDERS
hurled upon "Radical misrule' by the opponents of
the Union party He pointed with pride to the fact
that Philadelphia was at least the second manu-
first. Statistics so incOntrovertbly proved this
that no argument on his part could be necessary.
As to the results Of the progress of Philadelphia
under the respective domination of Democrats and
People he elaborated with statistics at his beck As
to the growth of Philadelphia during the respec-
tive periods, stern facts testified that the number
of permits issued by the Building Inspectors of
Philadelphia, for new houses, stores, and other
buildings, from January to December 81 in each
year, under Democratic rule was this:

The cry OF the Democracy was that under Re-
be overgrown with grass. We find in no city in the
world such homes those of the industrial classes
of Phiadelphia; nor was there ever a time when
the artisans, mechanics and working men in gem
eral were prosperous as now.
Another test of the general harmony pervading
the intercourse between employer and employed is
shown in the wonderful falling off in litigation.
In the Common Pleas Court-the poor mans
Court-there were tried during that period cases as
fOllOw-In 1857, 2503 1858, 2651; 1852 3O4l; total
S195. .y ..
Under Radical misrule, the amount of litigation
was thus-In 1865 1900 cases; 1866 1461 do; 1867
1872 do decrease, 1862. .... -
In the District Court this was the business done-
In 1851 1884, 1858, 9702j 1859, 726 1865, 4997 1866,
5716; 1867, G674; decrease, 9iT1.
In the District Court cases are tried where the
amount at issue is more than hundred dollars, and
but those engaged there as jurymen, witnesses
suitors know how tedious and expensive are its
processes. Yet under "Radical misrule," see how
its business has fallen Off!
The number of writs issued for the sale of real
estate by the Courts of Philadelphia during Mr..
1885, 23O7; 1860, 174O. Total in fertyeight MONTHS
1922, an average number each month of 146.
The number issued during the last three years
and ten months, to October /, 1863 was: 1865 759;
1866 879; 1867, 626; 1868 (ten months) 562. Total
(in forty-six mOnths), 1926, OF an average number
each month of 81. The difference in favor of
Radical misrule, compared with Buchanans,
during each month, was SO.
The speaker, after most beautiful apostrophe
to the divinity of industry, tore into tatters the
copperhead arguments advanced by the supporters
of Mr.. Seymour, by showing in plain figures these
statistics:

The speaker did not desire to say an uukind

orphans of those who fell have an equita-
Die claim, that the scanty pension allowed
them be SO increased as to make the
difference between gold and greenbacks
inure to their benefit, and not, as now, to
their loss; for In gold or its equivalent,
they were promised to be paid. But the
bond holder has no such claim. He loaned
his greenbacks to the Government, and was
to be. paid the interest in gold and the
principle in paper. He has been paid his in
terest in gold, when his bond calls for 1t,
until the resources of the country are well
nigh exhausted, and now he clamors for
his principal in gold. And the Radical
party. whose leaders have not one word to
urge in the shape of justice to the living
soldier, or to the widows and orphans of
those whose names go to make up the long
list of the dead "roll OF honor,n advocate
the cause of the bondholder, because the
oondholder has money which he distributes
to carry the election In Maine and Ver-
mont while the dead soldier and dead SOL
dier's wife and children have no votes to
cast or to sell. ......
