THE GAGE" ON DEMOCRATIC RE-
F6RN

IT is not ofteE that we can cordially agree
with the opinions of the Age on partisan mat
ters, but the following paragraph which We
find in its editorial columns of this morning
is SO very true and SO very much to the point
that we cannot avoid quoting it and giving it
our endorsement. The Age says:-
"Each year the Democratic party is cheated and
disgraced by men claiming to be attached to and
to represent thatlorganlzation. Some OF these men
directly to their cupidity and double-dealing The
facts are not even denied VIII honest Democrats
agree that these men shall pursue their nefarious
traffic in the future, covered with the party mantle
They will not. They demand honesty fair dealing
IN all public matters, from those VINO stand upon the
manner must expect to be exposed"
Our contemporary is evidently waking up,
and we take it as most promising sign that
it has at last discovered the fact that things
are not altogether lovely in the Democratic
ranks. The Age says, with considerable mai
gete, with reference to the men who have
disgraced the Democratic party, that some of
them are nOao known, and as a matter of
course we may expect to see their cha
racters and performances thoroughly venti-
lated in the interests of the public in general
and the Democratic party in particular. 1t is
certainly little curious, however, that the
Age should have just discovered Messrs.
McMullin, Ahern, and others whose names
are equally well known to the public at large,
to be disreputable representatives of politi-
cal party that makes as large outward pre-
tensions to virtue as does the one of which
our esteemed contemporary is the able organ.
We confess that the Age takes more hope
full view of the future than We do when it
l. ~ kIn4&
men shall pursue their nefarious traffic in
the future, covered with the party mantle?"
and replies to 1ts own query with bold
''They will not" Alas for the honest Demo
Gratis, we have before us the fact that the
New York World has tried for several sue
ceeding years the same experiment the Age
is now proposing; but despite its plead
ings for reform, and its protestations
that honest men must rule, whenever
an election campaign was fairly opened, and

AETER TIE RATTLE

AT length we have the full returns from all
the Congressional, Senatorial, and Legislative
districts in the State, and the field can be
surveyed fully and calmly. The total loss
is seven regular Republican candidates for
Congress in districts now represented by Re-
publicans, with one gain in Luzerne and Sus-
quehanna, and one Independent Republican
(Creely), to offset the disasters. At the best,
the net loss is five Republican Congressman,
making the delegation stand II to -, instead
of 6 to is, as now. The net loss on the Re-
publican majority of the Legislature is 10,
and the popular vote of the State shows a
Democratic majority. Donley, Morrell,
Armstrong, and Gilfllan are defeated in dis
tricts which two years ago gave them from
1000 to 1000 majority each, while Judge
BIercur, who was elected by 81
in 1865, is reelected by 125. Co
yode's district, which was close
before, now elects Foster by 73O, ana Cess
mas district, which elected him by 14t in
1868, now defeats him by Is. In two Sena-
torial districts which, elected three Senators
this fall, each Republican candidate should
have had 1000 majority, but they are all
beaten badly-from 800 to 100. They were
repudiated by the people because they were
suspected of pledging themselves to vote
for the reelection of Simon Cameron to the
United States Senate. The Republican people
have determined that the Senatorial auction
of 1867 shall not be repeated. If men will
surrender their manhood to procure nomina-
t;ons, or after they are nominated, they must
henceforth leave hope behind them. The
loss of Republican members of the Legisla-
ture in the Franklin, Huntingdon, Indiana,
Armstrong, Crawford, and Union districts is
but the same result from the same cause,
while the slaughter of Republican Congress
men is due to the fact that they dis
pensed the patronage Of their Districts to
promote the pretensions of Cameron. Arm
strong's district reverses its 2OOo Republi-
can majority because he was announced as
wanting to lead off in resembling the resolu-
tion of censure on the records of Congress
against Cameron. The nature of the disaster
may be summed up as follows
RaRed-Simon Cameron.
Wouaded-The Republican party (seri-
ously).
MisSing-A large assortment of Cameron
campfollowers, supposed to be organizing to
plunder the victorious enemy's baggage.
RetiTed-A large number of brave, trusted,

RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS.

TIE proceedings of the Methodist State Con-
yention which is now in session in this city,
as well as those of the National Unitarian
Conference at New York, are attracting
large degree of public attention. The news
paper reports give wide circulation to their
action from day to day, and thus large circle
of readers becomes familiar with their plans
and prospects, their hopes and fears. Moth
ing in America creates so much surprise
among inhabitants of Europe as the
absolute freedom of religion in this country,
nd the readiness with which diverse sects
sgree to disagree, and to adopt different
modes Of worship without feeling the
slightest disposition to persecute each other.
The simple plan of leaving all sects free from
governmental interference has saved world
of trouble in the United States, and at the
same time stimulated many Of the Church

GENERALITIES.
The Purchase of Cuba,

Again the report goes out, says the Washing
ton Star, that negotiations are in progress for
the purchase of Cuba, and the fact that Secre-
taries Boutwell, and Fish and Attorney General
Alderman were closeted together at the Trea-
suTy Department for several hours this morning
gave rise TO thick flying rumors that the con-
clave were engaged in making the prelimiu airy
engagements for the acquisition Of the "Gem OF
the Antilles" Most likely their confab had
reference to matters nearer home. Quite pro-
baby some persons may be attempting dicker
OF the kind between Spain and the United
States, but we doubt if Spain has authorized the
sale, and it is certain that the United States is
not in the mood to pay any $40, 600 900 for the
little island, neat and trim though she may be.

WE are accustomed to the dense ignorance of
American affairs displayed by the leading
British newspapers and reviews, but surely
the London Times, Saturday Re0je,o, and
AHcadum can be held excusable for their
bunders when an American newspaper like
the New York Herald sets before its readers
such confused account of events in neigh
boring city as that which APPEARED in its edi-
torial columns yesterday, in an article on the
fracas at the meeting of the return judges
in this city. The Herald has got the occur
rences of election day and those incident to
the meeting of the return judges very
badly mixed up, and it represents
the United States marines as having been
summoned on the latter occasion to protect
the election officers in the performance of
their duty. 1t would have been well, perhaps,
if the marines had been in attendance when
Messrs. McMullin. Ahern, and Nolen, with
the assistance of the Democratic policemen,
forced their way into the room where the re-
turn judges were assembled; but facts are
facts, and as the roughs had things pretty
much their own way until one of them met
the fate he richly deserved by being shot
down, the Herald really ought not to falsify
history by such version of the affair as it
served up to its readers yesterday.

The Coal and Iron Interests.

ILL SUCCESS OF THE READING RAILROAD STEAM
CoLIIERS.
The Philadelphia correspondent Of the Ger
mantown Telegraph, an apparently well informed
writer, says in recent letter, that
"Since the retiring of John Tucker from the
management of the Reading Railroad the scheme
Of carrying on the coal trade by means of iron
steam golfers seems to have been very much
neglected, and, in consequence, is measurably
failure. The design was to establish an immense
coal depot at Salem Mass, run the steam colliers
thither and by the quickness of the transit and
the facility of loading and unloading, command
the markets of New England. Instead of carry
ing this out the present managers of the Reading
seem to have decided that the design was hum
neously, anywhere at all, without any plan of
action, and the coal trade of the season has
proved lamentable failure.
''There never was greater error committed
than in allowing Mr.. Tucker to leave the man
agement. He was the moving spring Of all life
and energy. During the whole period of his
service the company remained the leading coal
carrier; and the very first year Of his absence
the Lehigh Valley Railroad takes the lead"
In Philadelphia, the coal market is more
steady than for a long time past, chiefly owing
to the diminished supply, and the trouble in the
Scranton region.
The Lehigh Valley r. r. Co. have reduced
coal freghts Through and tide" 10 cents ton.
-Freights coastwise have declined while barge
rates to New York are firm at the quotations of
last week.
The Miners journal says the trade may be
considered as suspendedin the Schuylkll Region
this year for shipments beyond Philadelphia, and
the supply hereafter furnished will be to supply
Philadelphia and the line. Along the line of the
Reading Railroad coal has been offered from %
to so cents per ton below the rates which ruled
two weeks ago,

The Pottsyille Journal says there has been
sensational effert to create panic and run up
the price of coal, on account Of the strike in the
Lackawanna region, and adds:-

other Galleries. either i'll Inc lilerne or Lehigh
regions. Some have -toppe the q because there
ia but little demand f1r coal ani they cannot sell
at paying prices-not in consequence OF any
strike on the part Of the men. A large number
of collieries are always stopped in the winter

for winter before cold weather sets ill., and coast
| wise freghts advance to high figure. There II
no strike in Schuylkill or Shamokin, or in fact in
any Of the regions. except the employees 81

| requires will be furnished at low rates, unless
/ the press abroad should persist III running NJ
| the prices on the consumers, by their unwlse
publications which are generally palmedof upo,
them by spectators, who desire to profit by 1t.
The Journal also says that in Schuylkill County
about two-thirds of the operators have stopped
their coleries as usual in the winter season
when they cannot find market beyond the lin
and the city of Philadelphia. The men are YER
anxious to work at wages which are much lowe
than those paid by the companies in the Wyomin
Basin, but the operators are compelled to stop
and cannot give them work.
The circular of Hammett, Neill & Co., PMla
delphia coal shippers, says, after referring to th
strike:
"Heavy stocks of coal are on hand, howeye
at all the shipping ports, and no material advanc
| in priceg need be looked for at present"

The collection of the state Taxes.


We unintentionally did injustice to the Collec-
tor of State taxes for Wilmington Hundred, in
our issue of few days ago, in stating that he
had given no notice of the time of payment OF
said taxes. The writer Of the item had seen no
notice, and had taken for granted that there had
been none published. 1t seems, however, that
Mr. Ochetree's notice had appeared in some Of
the journals of this city, and that plumber OF
small hand-biis had been posted about town.
We make this correction with pleasure, in justice
to the collector.
1t is our duty, however, to remind Mr.. ocheltree
that there is much complaint among tax payers
that they are not properly informed of the time
and place of the payment of this State tax, and
in consequence that fines for non-payment too
often find their way into the pocket of the col
lector. This may be from defect in the law
and may not but at all events the public will
hail with satisfaction the retirement of the
present collector, in the hope that any change
will be for the better.
