IreIand's Address TO the President.
NEW YORK, October 20.-A Washing
ton special says: The presentation of
the address from Ireland to President
Grant, through Messrs. OConnor, Power
and Psrnell, members of Parliament, has
been deferred. Messrs. Parnell and
Power have been informed that accord
ing 10 etiquette, the resolutions will have
tocome through the British ministry here
and the State Department to the Presi-
dent. An obstacle has been found to.the
success of the first step in the wording
OF certain part of.the resolutions. One
part cites that having suffered through
seven centuries oftyranny, the Irish peo-
pie make their-greetings to the United
States and its President, &c. This can
not, it is contended, be passed by without
an act of disrespect on the part of Pres
ident Grant to her Majesty's representa-
tives. The resolutions are magnificent
evidence of art and taste, appearing like
a plate of the purest alabaster, inlsid with
mosaic. They ara lett in one of the rooms
at the White House.

RETRENCHMENT!

The Republican party demanded many
millions more money at the hands of the
present Congress, for the current ex-
penses of the government, than has been
expended in any single year. The peo-
ple are alarmed at the extravaganza. A
few Republican gains, caused by third
candidates being in the field, will be
more than offset by Democratic gains
already fully assured. The next Congress
will be Democratic. The people will
take care eff that.
Retrenchment is a controlling issue.

TaECONGREssIONAL ISSUE.

The great question in regard to the
election of Congressm as OF paramount
and vital necessity to the burdened peo-
ple, is that of retrenchment. The Repub-
lican party opposed it en- masss in the
present Congress. The Democrats
favored it. Hence no Republican should
be elected to Congress. Reform, re-
trenchment, low taxes, better times
these all come through d Demo-
cratic administration. To secure them
Democratic Congress must be elected
The friends of economical administra-
tion everywhere should bear this in mind.
West Virginians should remember 1t.
Hon. BEN. WILSON is the friend OF the
Door man; he is the candidate who will
best represent the Taxpayers and ousi-
ness men. The people are vitality inter-
ested in putting an end to the squander-
ing of their money, and Colonel WILSON
will aid in doing it.

Nd TRADING.

Unprincipled Radicals are offering to
trade votes in this city, and probably in
other localities-they proposing to vote
for TILDEN if the Democrats will vote
for SCOTT for Congress.
We caution all Democrats against the
dirty trick. HAYES has no show, what
ever, of carrying West Virginia, hence
Radicals lose nothing in voting for TIL
DEN, while the Democrats might swap
themselves out of Congressman.
Democrats, and all who want reform
and better times must vote for TILDEN
and WILSON. No scratching. No trad

From the Boston Post.
The administration work with the in
flammable blacks of South Carolina is
bearing the only fruit expected by the
managers, except perhaps that of a reac-
tionary feeling OF Indignation and horror
among the Northern people. Gov
ernor Chamberlain now stands alone
in this matter of exciting the
negro population TO murder and In
cendiarism. Every judge in the state,
and all of them Republicans, denies the
truth of his statements. Even Senator
Patterson is compelled to turn his back

ODDS AND ENDS.

The Republicans flung out their banner,
And shouted We've got lndiana!
But all OF the gains,
Turned out for Blue Jeans,
And that's what's the matter with Han
nahi -EL.
A PENNSYLVANIA woman says she can
walk twenty miles per day in mems
clothes, and only twelve in female ap-
parel That settles it.
CALLING for Reform and three and
a half per cent. assessment in the same
breath is very clumsy piece of political
iugglery.
THE Cincinnati pork men look toward
the European war cloud, and whet their
knives with renewed vigor.
REBELLIoNs are not always by the
people. Sometimes the rulers OF the peo-
pie rebel against the wholesome restraints

PEACE {!

1t is eleven years since the South laid
down ITS arms and submitted to the law
full authority of the government. And
yet to day the spirit OF the Republican
party is more cruel and malignant, more
vipdictive and virulent than it was at the
close Of the war
The people have had enough OF this.
They have made up their minds that the
war being over, it is time that war talk
stopped and war methods ceased.

THE TWO CENTENNIAL EXCUR.
SIONS.

The two great competing routes, the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the
Pennsylvania railroad are both using our
columns extensively this morning to pro-
claim TO all who have not enjoyed the
great pleasure of visit to the Cen.en-
nial, at dirt cheap rates, that this is the
last chance. Now or never is the ulti-
matum. And if there are any
in this section, which is ur-
certain from the vast num-
Der who have already gohe, that can
find time between now and Monday next
at lO4 o'clock to get ready, and think
they can spare the few dollars required,
they had better pack up and make the ex.
cursion-an excursion for purpose that
occurs but once in lifetime. Both
routes hsve requested mention of the
facilities offered on their respective lines'
and in justice to both we mus
compliment them equally for their enter
prise, and the excellent facilities they
have prepared to lessen the difficulties in
reaching Philadelphia. The competi-
ton between the two roads has resulted
in creating an increased patronage that
remunerates them for the reduced rates
Both routes offer superior inducements,
and the prices are the same therefor
Reader you can peruse their advertise
ments, make up your mind, pay your
money and take your choice.

STATE Credit Wreckers That Is
title earned by the Republican managers

of every southern state. See the ruin OF

the decline in the value of those states
stocks! How many mechanics and
laborers at the north have been affected
by the outrageous stealing of the party
