THE DEzaoGgsAEIs SD CALLED Pro
PEGS CONVENTION.

This convention passed off very quietly
yesterday afternoon and apparently to
the tuif satisfaction of its originators. who
we hope all obtained what they wanted
and of which they fell short at the recu-
lar Democratic Convention. The nomi-
nations throus bout, with the only ex-
ception of the Surveyor, were purely
Democratic and we only feel sorry for
some OF our Republican friends who were
allured by the promise of what the con.
yentlon was called, but neither nroved
nor ever was meant to be a peopye's co,
rentton. The real people had much less
70 do With this convention than with eth
er OF the two strict party conventions ::
Inc delegates generally nominated them
selves and nominations were known.
with the exception of that of the Senator
and Treasurer, even before the call for
the slanderously misnamed Peoples Con.
ventlon was issued For our mart we
can only feel grateful for this Democrat
10 move, as it insures beyond any doubt
the glorious election of the only real
Peoples nominations by the only real
Peoples Convention, that of the Repuh-
Gcan party.

The Late Elections and their Les.
SONS.

It is a prominent weakness of the
flesh. that mankind are never satisfied
with doing well, and it was feared by
many, that through Indifference and
apathy concerning the elections this fall,
the great Republican majority in Con-
gress might get someTT nat reduced; but
this eXr ectatio1 mas been made happy
failure, Elections have now taken place
III Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska. In every
one Of these States, except Indiana,
which is about an even thing, the Re
publican party have swept everything
clean from the board, and the overwei-
ing majority in Congress so far holds
good. And this is the lesson it teaches:
that the people are satisfied with the
economical, straightforward, honest ad-
ministration Of President Grant and that
they are not any more in love with cop
perhead den. ocracy than they were dur
ing the desperate attempt 1t made to de-
stroy the Union.
Who among us is anxious to leave the
old Republican ship-freighted with
good tidings for the world-as she rides
out the storms of opposition so CALAMITY
and sneak over to the old practical craft
that tias become rotten in its long and
destructive war against human rights?
Not a man! on the contrary many
heretofore faithful Democrats feel more
and more convinced, that they have been
mislead and that if the projects oftheir
leaders had Teen successful, our country
would have been utterly ruined and they
with it. We only wonder that they
could stick so long to that rotten hulk.
and we rejoice, that so many are resolved
to come over and help us. ~

THE Plot is terribly exercised because
Mr.. Fuessenich publicly declared one Of
the democratic false reports about him
an uaa,1tigdted he. at the same time he
asserts that that denial secured to Mr..
Fuesscnich the nomination Of the Re
publican convention; nov, if such is the
fact, We would urgently advise Dir. Fues-
senich to brand some other democratic
SANDERS about him in the same manner,
for the purpose of securing his election
also, if there onig was any prospect that
Mr.. Fuesscnich would have time enough
tic answer all or even any part Of them.
IF the Pilot has any charge to make
against Mr. Fuessenich in his official ca
pacity why don't he publish and substan
tiate it; such contemptible insinuations
about him and others will not tend
to improve the public opinion of the
writer Of such ticles We had propos-
ed to carry on the campaign in a gentle
manly manner and shall not change our
purpose; we are fully satisfied with the
nomination Of Mr.. Fuessenich and shall
use the little influence we command in
our party barely sufficient to secure to
Mr.. Fuessenich unanimous nomination
by reclamation, as the Pilot acknowled-
ges) for his election. The great conf
dence which the editor of the Plot ex-
presses in the democratic nominee, Mr..
Ihomb5 can only De excused by his being
an almost stranger in our county. II
ever the Republican party ,cas betrayed,
1T was by that same Mr.. Thombs so Mr..
Boilmeyer, better hush up en- that score,
or we shall have to give the particulars.

The nomination of Hon. Philetus Sax

Mr.. Savers works are well-known,
speak volumes in his favor:
This is the fourth time the Repubh-

unanimity of the one and only ballot was
high and we'll deserved compliment to
that gentleman Mr. Sawyer holds a
prominent place in the foremost rank in

from, the Badger State, while his influence
and usefulness on the floor of Congress is
second to none. At the last election he

FROM gentleman who has travelled
extensively in the northern counties Of
this district We have the gratifying assu-
rance that the Vaccinations and inyen
lions OF the enemies of Mr.. Sawyer are
having contrary effect to that intended.
Instead of working an injury, they are
proving positive benefit. TIE people

SO many years enjoyed their confidence
and esteem.

The feeling of dissatisfaction among
Democrats of this County in regard TO
their County ticket seems to be growing
deeper daily. 1t is safe to say that
many of their candidates will fail to re-

Gratis are for boiling the whole thing,
Us they denounce it as an open and

s'WFLL THEY Do IL -

WILL THEY Do TIP
is the heading Of an article in last
weeks Plot. which states that the Bo-
hemians about Kossu.h declare they will
vote the Democratic ticket next month.
Well, Mr.. Pilot, we rather guess they
soont. In the first place, we do not be-
heve, that they ever made such declar-
ton, for as far as we know our Bohemian
fellow citizens. they are MEN, and there
fore not liable to jump out of Republi-
can light into utter darkness, misnamed
democracy, and support such ignorance,
vice and corruption as is represented on
the democratic ticket, least Of all for
money, as is most falsely insinuated
then our Bohemian republicans know as
well as the Pilot, that the defeat of their
candidate was solely and entirely owing
to the influence Of the democratic candi.
dates present at the Republican conven-
ton who worked against his nomination,
and succeeded in his defeat although but
by a very few votes. Mr.. Shimonek him
self did not know that he was to be a
candidate until the day before the Con-
Yention and could have been nominated
without any doubt, if his candidacy had
been known, before the delegates had
made up their minds who they would
vote for. Again we say they won't do
it
The statement that many Republicans
here, when they hea~ed Of the dissatis-
faction existing among the Bohemians,
said small sum of money judiciously
expended among them would have the
effect Of making them all right On voting
the Republican ticket" lacks but one i'm
portant feature, that of TRU H. The
Bohemians are not Democrats but Re
publicans, consequently. they can't be
bought up for few dollars in money nor
few drinks of whiskey.

China and the Opium Trade.

The dissatisfaction in England with
the new Chinese treaty appears to be
increasing, Judging from the tone and
| temper of the criticisms on the meas
u-e by the representative commercial
press. The principal objection is that
the new treaty recognises generally ad-
mitted principles of the international law
and also, in q manner, guarantees the
sovereign control Of the Chinese Gov
ernment over its own soil and internal
policy, thereby debarring our English
cousins from the prosecution OF some of
their progressive schemes. Having for
a long time had things pretty much their
own way in China. they are now exceed
ingly reluctant to be deprived Of any of
their lucrative advantages. A promi-
nent cause Of dissatisfaction with the
new treaty just concluded, is the adds
tional duty of twenty taels. nearly seven
shillings per 100 pounds, which is levied
by the Pekin Government on Opium,
the product of British India, making
total duty of fifty tacls, or about seven-
teen shillings. The English mind is
evidently good deal exercised lest, un-
der this increased duty, there will be
material curtaiIment of the Indian trade
and the extended cultivation Of the arti-
Gle in China.
Thus. London commercial journal
says: that unless very considerable
changes are made in the manner Of con-
Quoting the trade, the native growth
(Chin J produce will completely drive
Indian Opium out Of the market, and the
clear loss to the Indian Exehequer will
he direct gain % the Ch nese Govern
ment.' In order to preclude such a pos
sibility the same authority proposes a
material reduction of the present export
duty on the article, which is 600 Re- per
chest, and suggests the propriety of
making tue cultivation who'll Y free. in
stead of allo wing the rvots to receive
400 Rs. as is done in the Bengal District
This is a new phase of protection VS..
free trade, the Chinese protectionists
having decidedly the best Of the bargain
thus far. It would be an excellent result
of the Chinese Government could keep
out the pernicious drug altogether. Bat
whatever may be the result, it is evident
that the time has gone by when the British
Government can extort concessions from
the Chinese by physical force, instead
OF honorable diplomacy, and some Brit
ISL merchants will not unlikely be oblig
ed to meet t..eir China trade balances
more largely in hard cash, instead of
Opium, and the British India Govern
inent will have to resort to some other
N eans of keeping the Exchequer suppl
ed than in the proceeds Of the product of
the poppy.

The Immigraut Tax.

A conference OF the xgents OF the sew
eral transatlantic Steam ship companies
has been had during the week, to perfect
measures for the reduction of the COM
mutation tax on immigrants ARRIVING at
this port. In the Maryland Legislature,
we observe, an effort is heiny made to
increase the tax from ST. so, the present
rate. to 50 per head. Tue shipping mer
chants of Baltimore are doing all they
can to defeat this effect, and to this end
meeting has been held during the week,
at which the sentiment was strongly
against increasing the tax. The Anaeri
can Of that City, after quoting approv-
lngly from recent article in the
SHIPPING LIST, on the necessity of q
reduction of this rate at our port from
81 90 to 81 SO per head, remarks that
AS the tax is collected 20 defray the ex-
penses o; receiving aud providing q
shelter for the immigrant on his arrival
and for hospital charges, and the care
of the sick aud destitute. it is necessi-
ty, but the utmost care should be taken
to make it as light as possible, and
not to hamper our shipping interests by
making excessive charges, merely to
salaries for offices to be scrambled
for by men who have no interest in the
welfare Of the immigrant. It is also Of
the opinion that reduction of the rate
to 81. would ultimately yield more mon-
ey than to increase it, or permit it to
remain as it is, and the argumen. is
equally applicable to our own port. The
tax is collected from the vessels that
land the passengers, but Of course comes
indirectly from the pocket of the immi-
grant. The real grie vance Of the ship
owners and agents lies in the fact, as
shown in a previous article, that they
are required by law to give bonds to the
Commissioners of Immigration for the
of insane AMI other unde-
s'rable immigrants that may be found
on board when the vessels arrive in
port. It rests with the com missioners
or their agents to decile who among the
passengers and immigrants are to be
classed as 'undesirable,' and therefore
bOudahle and it is allie ed that, for rea
sons which are not clearly apparent.
many Immigrants are entered on the
books at Castle Garden as belonging to
this class who never become charge
TO the 5 late. The matter ought certain
" to be looked into, as in the present
depressed state Of comm cree, ship own
ers can lily afford to ply any such un-
necess ary tribute. The present capita
ton tax of 81. 80, moreover, is will cal.
culated to discourage immigration. Most
Of those who leave the old world for the
new, come in families, and the saving of
three or four dollars is a m after of great
as they have been for
years boarding up their money to pur-
chase small tract of land and locate
themselves in a distant country In Sc
iecting the port at which they purpose to
land, they carefully compute all the
charges and the facilities that will be
extended to them on their debarcation.
Every dollar to them is q matter of vast
importance, and il we desire 10 build up
the commerce OF the port. all unneces-
sary restrictions, whether in the shape
Of capitation taxes or port charges,
should be done away with.-TN Y paper.
