All fears that any Of rs have had
that Horace Greeley would not abide
by the nomination Of the Cincinnati
Convention are new dlspelled by bis
deliberate formal acceptance OF the
same. In his reply to tho official no.
tice informing him Of said nomination,
Horace magnanimously remarks: 81
do not mlsinterpret this approval as
especially complimentary to myself.
I receive and welcome that admirable
platform Of principles wherein your
Convention 30 terssly set forth tho con-
~vlctions which impelled its course"
He recapitulates the features Of the
platform, and states that he adopts
the platform ~ . basis Of true benefi-
cial national reconstruction. He con-
cludes: "In this faith and with the
distinct understanding that II elected |
shali Be President not Of party. but
ofapeople. Iaccept your nomination"

In a mild state Of eruption, but on the

an unusual commotion, with volcanic
shocks In SOME parts Of the island. It
happens that the great California

Of April, aud were most severe OH that
day. These phenomena, widely sep
arated by distance az thoy are, may be
connected by scientific thinkers.

Tug emigration from Ireland to the
United States 10 on tho Increase, the
movement this year having commenced
earlier and being moro general than
ever before. The steamships sailing
from Liverpool aud from Irish ports
are crowded to their utmost capacity,
and frequently twice as many emil
grants as the vessel IL able to con
MEDIATE secure passages In a particular
steamer. Tho emigrants are of bet
ter class than formerly, and include a
considerable number OF small farmers
and peasant land proprietors. Many
bring with them amounts OF capital
varying from $3.50 to $1,000. to invest
In land aud stock In the United States.
In numerous Instances these emigrants
intend joining In the far West relatives
who have proceeded them, aud who
have sent back TO Ireland encouraging
accounts Of their prosperity, accom-
papicd with money orders. The.ma-
jorlty Of tho smlgrants are young men
and women, but o~ccasioually aged
couples come over to jola their chill
dren. This removal Of the agrioultur-
al population Of ireland cannot fail to
produce an important effect upon the
condition Of the farm laborsrs Of both
Ireland and England. For several
years past the Irish farmers have been
complaining Of the scarcity Of help
and OF tho difficulty Of obtaining har-
vest hands In England, the farmers
have for many years been accustomed
to rely upon tho temporary assistance
Of tho Irish laborers, who, at harvest
time, crossed the channel to aid in the
gathering Of crops. This resource has
now failed, and the English agricul-
tural labor market 10 no longer glut-
ted. The extensive emigration from
Ireland will. therefore, tend to raise
the rates Of wages for farm services,
boil, In England and Ireland, and the
condition Of the agricultural laborer
viii be improved.

the ground that the voting population had been
raised from one hundred and thirty thousand
to about one hundred and sixty-fve thousand.
This registration is in excess of the registra-
ton of New York. with population one-third
greater than that of Philadelphia; but the vote
cast falls below the vote of this city nearly
twenty Ave thousand. The vote cast in Phila-
delphia on Tuesday does not exceed one hun
dred and eighteen thousand, while in 1868 it
reached one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand. The vote, singular to say, is the light
est cast in . number of years, and when
confronted with the allegations of fraud seems
to be an effectual estoppel to McClure's
case, but 1t is moro remarkable still in view
OF the excessive registration. The registration
in New York last year was 152, ,592 and the
vote 1877, 463. while in Philadelphia this year
the registration was 10000 and the vote in
the aggregate $4,000. showing registry
greatly in excess of the voting population and
a avote 90, 600 less than the registry. There must
have been the intention to commit fraud in
preparing registry lists of such character, and
yet it seems impossible that the frauds were
committed, in view of the light vote and the
failure to develop proof of any systematic and
general outrage upon the ballot.
In taking this temperate view of the election
in Pennsylvania we are not forgetful that
some consideration is due to the allegations of
Colonel Mcclure. The apparently fraudulent
registry in Philadelphia is proper subject for
inquiry, and we hope the registry lists may be
made the subject of searching investigation.
Where such disparity exists between the reg
istration and the actual vote an explanation
seems necessary, and especially in case like
this, where the registration is evidently in
excess Of the voting population. If there were
not great frauds in Philadelphia there was an
opportunity for great frauds. These ought to
be exposed and their perpetrators summarily
and severely punished. This is oil the more
necessary if the registry is fair one, since the
cry Of fraud, which has become habitual with
the party press, is lowering us in the sight Of
the world and giving the impression abroad
that fair election in this country is impos-
sible

A Coon ExHIpIr.-A report from the Com
missioner Of Public Works, published to-day,
shows that during the first eight months Of

many. and with an accumulation of debt that
makes it far more overwhelming than ours
was yet, with less resources, her credit stands
higher and she maintains o specie basis. Is
1t not evident, therefore, that our financial
policy has been very defective But the
question is now, What is to be done hereafter
We are to have the same party and the same
administration In power for another four
years. May we hope that Congress will
take broader and more statesmanlike view of
our national finances and the necessities of tho
country Will the administration change its
policy? Mr.. Boutwell, is not the man for Sec
retary Of the Treasury. We ought to have in
that important position statesman of the
highest capacity-one who will bring the gov
ernment to strict economy, who will not med
die with Wall street or interfere with the natu-
raj current Of business in the country. Taxa
ton might be and ought to be reduced still
another hundred millions year, and that
would leave an ample income for necessary
government expenditures, the interest on the
debt and q considerable sinking fund. That
is all that should be required of tho people
for some years to como. The remainder of
the national debt will be but a bagatello COM
paratively for such rich and populous coun-
try as ours will be some years hence to liqui-
date. With taxation reduced q hundred mil
lions year, with economy in the government
and ON able Secretary Of the Treasury, the
credit Of the nation would rise, industry would
be stimulated. specie payments would be
reached and we should hear no more of gold
gambling and less of corruption and unhealthy
speculation generally.

aside il is because he himself belongs to his

Duncan, in q letter addressed to Mr.. John

make in the interests of the city. The Tam
many municipal ticket will be completed next

ties will then be in the field. When the nomi-
nations are fully before the people it will be

The DEATH OF WILLIAM H. SEWARD has
awakened widespread feeling of regret oil
over the entire country which could be pro-
duced by the demise Of few men remaining in
our midst. Foremost among these tributes
is graceful one from the pen Of the present
Secretary Of State, by order ofthe President, to
the memory of the great State Secretary Of the
stormy days of war; The courts Of the city
were adjourned yesterday out of respect to the
statesman now no more, the flags being OF
half-mast in every town where his name
was known and his worth respected. The
gloom which has settled over the town Of
Auburn, where he had Of late his unpreten-
tious home, is seen to hang everywhere-in in
places, too, where he had never been seen, but
where the magic Of his inspiring patriotism
had stirred mems hearts in times happily
gone by. The scene at the death-bed OF the
illustiious man was truly touching one, and

A New POSTAL TREATY BETWEEN FnArc.
AND THE UNITED SrArEs.-By a special
cable telegram from Paris, dated in tho
French capital yesterday we are informed
that M. de Remusat and United States
Minister Washburne have concluded q
draft of new postal treaty, in the name Of
the governments and people of France and
America, which the Post Office authorities Of
both countries will accept and which, it is
highly probable. the French Minister Of
Finance will approve The instrument will be-
presented to the executive chiefs and the
cabinets of the governments for approval at
On early day, and receive, it is hoped, final
ratification before the close Of the present
year. The first intent Of the paper is for the
attainment of increased facilities of commu-
nication between France and America, the ex-
tension of commerce, and moro frequent and
economical interchange Of literature and news
by the press. This is highly commendable
diplomatic efort-a proper means for the
cementing of national friendship and the pre-.
vention Of war.
WALL STREET is active and lively nowadays,
what with the raising of the Bank of England
rate of discount and the speculation stimu-
lated by the success Of the administration
party in Pennsylvania. Indeed, since the
election in that State pools and cliques arc
springing up in Wall street like mushrooms
after rain storm Gold keeps between 1124
and 113, and is rather stronger since tho
action Of the Bank of England. Money is
easy and the general trade of the city brisk.
The dry goods merchants have had their
hands full ever since the decision of The elec-
ton in Pennsylvania, for reasons which must
be obvious.
