The London Tablet says of 100 successful
candidates just gazetted for places in the
Excise no less that 81 passed from Ireland,
while at least six of those who passed in Eng
land and Scotland are Irish by birth or by
blood while the places that the Irish Obtsine ed
are still more remarkable. The first OF the
100 are Irish, nay, the first II, save An English
man, who got the sixth place; while of the first
80 no less than % hail from Ireland Celtic
Munster heads the whole roll, the first three
names being Murphy, Ryan and Moore. OF the
100 successful candidates. 81 passed from Ire
land, 40 from England, and only from Scot
lang while the due proportion for Ireland,
population considered, would be II; 80 that,
obtaining "a places, che obtained more than
three times her share. Deductions often drawn
from this succees of IriBhmen are quite
founded and illusory. The Irish are universally
credited with remarkable talent and great in
tellectual proves. But class by class their
opportunities and their education are far, very
far behind those of the English and the Scotch.
The true and sufficient explanation of the
Irish predomiDsnoe ct suoh examinations 10
that the opulent trade and commerce and the
numerous and lucrative avenues open to intel
lipenc9 in England and Scotland attract Young

far more successful than the Irish. II the pre-

Washington. Sept. 16 - The Congressional
Democratic Committee here, who are engaged
in distributing political information, docu-
ments and speeches, keep mp constant and
very extensive correspondence with all parts
informed as to the prospects of the Presiden-
tial election. Great pains have been taken to
form sound Judgment, by seeking facts in de-
tail through the local organic atoms, discsrding
enthusiastic reports, aud rejecting loose esti-
mates of supposed strength.
Entire confidence in the election of Governor
Tilden is felt, and unless all the signs should
prove false, or an unexpected reaction oocur,
his majority in the Electoral College will sup
prise some of his friends as much as his most
pronounced opponents. The drift of public
opinion is favorable, and if the October States
do not disappoint expectation, the Presidential
contest will virtually end with the election of
that plain and honest farmer, Blue jeans
Williams, as Governor of Indiana. The figures
to work out the general result are as follows :

is written and the actual facts are known, the
public will be astonished at the economy with
which this national canvass has been conducted

THE WEEKLY ARGUS.

JURY Law OF New YoRK.-The
New York statute provides that the
town officers, and in cities the su-
pervisors Of the wards, shall make
out a list Of jurors from their res
pective towns and wards. This list
Is to be composed, as expressly en-
Joined by the statute, Of male inhab-
itants not exempt from serving on
iuries, between 81 and 60 years of
are, aud who are either assessed
for personal property belonging to
them in their own right to the
amount Of $3.50, or who have a free
hold estate in real property in the
county belonging to them in their
own right or in the right Of their
wives, to the value of $3.50; also
men Of fair character, approved in
tegrity, of sound judgment and well
informed. Such law in this Terri
tory would vastly improve our juries.

THE eyes of the whole civilized
world are turned with interest and
anxiety upon our country in the
great crisis through which we are
now passing. Our Government has
successfully endured the ordeal of
foreign and domestic war. 1t has
borne the severests tests of prosper
ity and adversely. 1t is now subject
to the strain of Presidential cleo
tion so closely contested that each Of
the two great parties which divide
the country claims the victory. Du-
ring the last few weeks partisan pas
sion and excitement in the States
have attained an unprecedented
power; and the contest sometimes
threatened to become so hot as to ad-
init of no settlement by peaceful
methods. II the Union is fortunate

bel to weather this new danger, We
shall be warranted in claiming that
its future is assured.-Ex.
