THE IBI;H AS EOLTERa.

THE lBI:H As EOLIEhs.
From tie Chicago TINES;
Prior 10 and during the rebellion the
Irish in the United States were character
.zed as the slaves of the Democratic party.
the war awoke them from their stupor.
The game Of the Democratic demagogues
Sas played.
Since that time they hare gradually
lrited away from Democratic control, In
. the opcn sea of Independent politi.s.
The late elections, not only in Chicago
out throughout the country, demonstrates
mat the Irish have come into full posses
sion Of the great American right to bolt.
When people once get into possession Of
hat right, they never give it up. The
Democratic party can no longer calculate
N the Irish vote. They may bid for it q;
but whether it is knocked down to them
will depend altogether on circumstances.
The independent Irish voters will be just
as intractable and as unreasonable as the
independent American voters. Especially
do the Irish resent any imputation Of the
s-rvile following of arrogant leadership.
Tney are no longer carried in any mans
pocket. They defeated Tammany in New
York at the last election, just as they de-
eated Tammany in Chicago on the same
day. They resented John Kelly's lead
rrship in New York, just as they repudi-
.ted Eessing's leadership in Chicago.
They will no longer dance when 3 Joss
whistles; and the fact may as we'll be
generally admitted. They have Joined
the American party bolters, and can be
calculated upoa hereafter to bolt every
political nomination that does not suit
them, nc matter by whom made. 1t will
scarcely be denied tha. at on the las, elec-
ton larger number Of scratched ballots
were deposited by the Irish than by any
o,hcr body Of voters. They made Their
declaration of independence on that occa-
sion; and there is only one thing which
they can be ielied upon to do hereafter
to bolt.

The ,u,mess in what is known at New
York as "puts' AMI Calls and practiced
there to a considerable extent by the less
reputation Of stock dealers IL Wall street
and its puilieus, has never found much
favor in this city, for the reason mainly
,ha this pa er has ever denounced the bu'
sinesa for what it really is, means cd
by bad men to defraud the unwary. W.
are inclined to think that the days Of the
traffic ct New York are now numbered
The Tribune Of Yesterday thus speaks O.
it, "Pats and calls have been generally
recognized as an invention by which out
sidprs Of small means could be facilitated
in losing their money by gambling in stocks
1t will, however, be somewhat new in!or
nation to eerdant countrymeh,. and per
haps to some Of our citizens, that this de
vice, as a! p:eser: managed, is largely
variety Of tae old confidence games tha
have been broken up by the police, This
at least, is fair inference. from the fac
that the swindlers formly engaged in pro
viding sawdust packages for people VIII
were ready to deal in counterfeit none.
, have now substituted a nominal busines
as brokers' in puts and calls for their pre-
vious occupation"
