A letter from DR.. Gheist, of Berlin. Prus-
sia, has been published, in which he says
that, from the description given, he believes
that DR.. Paul Schoeppe, convicted of mur-
der at Carlisle, Pa, is the same Paul
Schoeppe who, With his father. was some
years ago convicted at Berlin for forgery,
theft, etc. This letter has reopened the dis
cussion in the Schoeppe case, and as to
how it will terminate remains to be seen.
10 the Berlin trial, ,one Of the most important
witnesses was locksmith whom Schoeppe
had employed to make the key with which
he robbed his employer safe, although the
locksmith was innocent Of Schoeppes pur-
pose in procuring the key. That witness, it
is said, is now in New York city, and called
at the Office of the .Stdats Zzf,tno to cor
roberate the statement in Professor CHESTS
letter 1t is now suspected that the tes,i-
monials of character Schoerpe published
some weeks ago are forgeries.

Fruits of Democracy in New York.

TIE Tammany ring is to all appearance
about to have the supreme control in the
city of New York. This is probably the
most shamelessly corrupt band of ruffians
in the world; and with an annual revenue
of more than twenty millions in their power,
they are able to do what they please. They
have 80 debauched and inhamed the rabble.
who are under the lead of thieves, rum sci
ers. gamblers and desperadoes, that even
the Democracy are unable to exercise the
devil that they have let loose to plunder
the citizens. The future of that great city
is gloomy in the extreme and it may re-
quire civic revolution, something like
that which purified San Francisco some
years ago, to relieve it from nisrule The
Times remarks.
There is every reason to believe that the
power Of the Tammany ring will roll over and
crush all that has be.n most honest efficient
and enlightened in our municiple govern
ment. Under pretence of restoring munic-
ipal rights, all authority not welded by that
organization is to be seized and, the cl-
ements that make and control the Common
Council and the Street Department, will
grasp the powers of the Board OF Health,
the board of Excise, the Police and Fire
Departments. The roughs, the rabble, the
repeaters, the grog shop keepers-in short.
the lowest strata generally demand it. and
the leaders, however they may dread the in
dignation of the future, are powerless to
resist. They have promised the sloils rs
the reward of victory, aud these will rot
and probably cannot be refused. Men who
desire TO see the city we'll governed, and who
will be sad to see many of the best men in
office in this city 20 out. may as well pre-
than that the Democratic victory is essen
italy retrograde movement, and an actual
triumph OF the dlsorgan siI el; men o.
midst. Those who rejoice most are the
worst classes of our people, and shey alone
are gainers-except as these leaders gain
with them

New CoUNrERFElrs. well exec

NEW COUNTERFElTs. Three well execu
ted counterfeit fifiy-cent notes, of the new
issue, were detected at the Redemption Bu-
lean of the Treasury on January llth, being
the first counterfeits of the new series and
are well calculated to deceive There are
indications that employees of the American
and National Bauknote Printing Company
OF New York have bad in their employ men
in league with the counterieters. 1t is a
well l-known fact that several years since there
was printed at the Treasury Department o
fifteen cent note which was never issued, for
the reason that one of the engravers ws de-
tccted in taking an impression of the plates
Ii is stated he has since been in the employ
of the National Banknote Company and al
though his record was made known to the
officers, they still retained him. The face
of the vignette of Lincoln in the counter
felt differs in some respects from the origi-
nal and the seal is somewhat blurred. The
backs of the notes are, however, a perfect
imitation of the genuine.

The Public Credit Abroad.

All the threats of reputation of the pub.
lie debt made by Democratic leaders do not
seem to have affected our credit abroal in
the least. There appears to be among the
capitalists Of Europe a well merited conf
dence in the honesty and integrity of the Re
publican administration and party, and an
unwavering faith that the public debt will be
redeemed to the uttermost tarthing. Such
is their confidence that they are now seeking
to invest largely in Government loans at low
interest A Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore San telegraphed that paper
last week that two representatives ot foreign
banking houses lone from London aud one
from Frankfort) have arrived in this coun-
try for the purpose Of making proportions
to the Government to negotiate abroad a
four and half per cent. loan, should Con-
gress authorize it, on the plan submitted by
Secretary Boutwell, in his annual report. and
which will be considered at an early day by
the Senate Finance Committee. They state
that if the interest is made ayable semi an
nually in London, Paris and Frankfort, they
will be able to effect the sale of at least
5000, 100000 of such loan. Pending the
action of Congress on this question the
terms on which the foreign houses will un
dertake the proposed loan will be submitted
to the Secretary ofthe Treasury. These are
of course, based on commission, which, it
is said, will be much less than was paid for
selling the Five tweuties.

The election OF Mr.. Iviu, as State Treas
urer, seems to have been the result of a
regular bargain and sale" between the
Democracy on the one side, and certain IN
principled Senators and Representatives, of
Republican proclivities, on the other. By
this sale" the Democrats handed over an
important State Office TO small cabal who
must have some peculiar reasons for desir
ing its oontrci, aud the cabal have, in return,
handed over the political majority in the
State Senate to the enemies OF the Repubii-
can party, by their in6delity in the Senate
rial contested election cases. Senators Lowry
tof Eriel and Billingsfelt (of Lancaster)
have especially dishonored themselves per-
sonaliy snd politically by their actions in the
premises. No explanations can free them
from their base betrayal of party, and they
only merit the coo,empt and scorn of all
honorable men for their per6dious infdelity
to party usages. Although recreant Re-
publicans have delivered over control of one
branch of the Legislature to our political
enemies, yet we despair not OF the ultimate
success of the Republican party. The
treachery Of an Arnold did not defeat Amer
iean liberty, neither will the treachery of a
few corsapt. pretended political friends, de-
feat the final triumph of pure Republican
principles. RheB. let the honest and incor.
ruptible masses Of the Republican party
disavow these political fungus, and replace
them with honorable and reliable rep-esen-
tstives at the earliest opportunity,

pay, indeed h.ire so pledged hensseiues. if
rumor be not fake, to accomplish them.
The ful6llment of this schedule is the
danger ahead not only to Republican as
ceniancy but the Commonwealth honor
In conclusion, the lesson Of "Wednesday is an
imperative argument in favor ot an elective
Treasurer. No State and no party eau af-
ford to renew contests 50 fraught with acri-
mony and double dealing as those that are
now fraught for this Office. To elect the
Treasurer is peace, dignity and safety. To
elect the Treasurer IL to insure the will OF
the people in respect to him.

The British authorities in Nassau are en-
forcing the British neutrality laws BY seizing
vessels suspected ofa design to run the Span
ish blockade of Cuba. During the civil war
in the United States, the port of Nassau
was notorious as a harbor for blockade runners
and rebel pirates, but the British authorize,
never lifted finger then to enforce their
neutral obligations. They said they had no
power, but now they sieze blockade runners
without question OF their power. This of
itself. is confession that England was
wrong in the Alabama matter. And it
proves, also, that the British Government
was secretly hostile to the United States
during our war, as it is secretly friendly to
Spain now

Our West Indian Possessions.

The Dominican Republic proposed to be
annexed to the United States, by treaty
which the President was to have sent into
the Senate oD Monday, consists of that part
of the island of Hayti. which in l777, by
treaty between France and Spain was set OH
10 the latter forever. 1t has always been
distinct political district from the western
part of the island, or French Hayti, although
for many years after 1921. when it declared
its independence of Spain. it was subject to
the Haytien Republic of Boyer. But since
lS44 it has been separate government. The
boundaries between the two little nations
have always been in dispute; but it is still
claimed that The Dominican Republic con-
tains all the old Spanish portion of the Is
land or about three ffths of the whole.
The area annexed by this treaty will there
fore be about 2, 600 square miles; or nearly
three times as large as the State of Massa-
chusetts. The population is variously esti-
mates from 100 600 to $50, 900; but not much
more than that of the State of Delaware.
The people are generally idle, extremely su
perstitlous and poor; but the soil is rich;
the situation of the island is well adapted
for extensive trade, aud its soil is peculiar
ly rich in many products needed in this coun-
try. Mahogany wood and tobacco, the best
in the world, will come to US free of custom
duties, and therefore somewhat cheaper than
now; and this to the mass of our people, is
likely to be the principal change resulting
from annexation.
Society in the island is in disorder; the f.
nances OF the Republic are in desperate
condition? The currency is deprecated al
most to worthlessness; and the population to
be added to our nation is not OF character
to strengthen it much in intelligence and
morals. But the amount to be paid by our
government is said to be less than the earlier
treaty gave for Samana Bay alone, being
only 81 500, 600; and in financial point of
view, the bargain is probably good one,
considering the large resources of the island,
and the certainty that the feeble political or
ganization of Hayti will room give way in
comparison with Yankee enterprise and Or
der next door, and seek annexation too.
