PHILADELPHIA, November 22.-Intense
excitement prevails here among our
Irish residents over the troubles in Ire.
land, and particularly over the arrest Of
Michael Davitt on the charge Of sedition.
His case attracts much attention from the
fact that his mothers and sisters reside in
this city, and he is well known here. The
leaders Of the Nationalist movement are
outspoken in their denunciation Of the
arrests, and indulge in much stormy talk.
O'Donovan.R said tonight that the
arrests came to him like thunderbolt;
that, in fact, she did not know what 10
make OF them" He did not, however,
believe the statement that several Catholic
priests were 10 be arrested, as such a step
would at once array the whole Catholic
population OF Ireland against the powers
that be. "It these proceedings are car.
RED any further we shall have to act, and
that promptly"
Said DR.. Carroll, the recognized head OF
the Nationalist movement in this city:
"We want no talk-no meeting for mere
words-but we will act. II these men
are punished there will be retaliation, and
that too quickly"
From other sources It was learned that

men will be called in this city In few
days, to concert measures for the defense
OF the accused, and to deliberate upon the
position which shall be assumed In con.
nection with the present agitation in Ire.

WASHINGTON, November 22.-The chief
political topic is the contest in Virginia be-
tween the debtpsyers and readiusters. 1t
transpires that each class OF Democrats
has elected an equal number OF members
Of the legislature, while the Republicans
have elected twenty-seven members, OF
whom ten are classed as debtpayers and
seventeen as readjusters. This gives the
readiusters small majority, II no other
questions entered IN 10 Complicate matters.
But other questions do enter in, and the
Republicans propose. while holding the
balance OF power, 10 secure concessions
which will advance their interests. The
leaders Of both classes Of Democrats are
offering advantageous terms, and the ques-
ton under confederation is which side
will most surely carry out promises made.
The present State officers are debtpRyers,
and as their continuance in Office and the
general distribution OF patronage depends
upon the triumph OF their side, they offer
10 keep open the schools and repeal the
poll tax law, whereby thousands OF COL
ored people are deprived OF their votes,
and concede other political advantages II
the Republicans will only join them in
the measure Tor the payment OF the debt
and the election OF State officers. The
readjusters offer similar terms, except that
Malone, their leader, be elected United
States Senator.
tis understood that the promise Of the
Republican support was given to Malone
during the canvass. He represented to
them that reputation was not intended; ;
that there were other things besides the
debt to be readjusted; that the school
closing measure, which originated with
the debt payers needed adiustiug; that
the system Of taxation needed read jlsting,
and that the poll.tax law, which requires
payment months before election day,
needs readjusting, so that the colored Re.
publicans may no longer be deprived OF
their votes. Hence, the name Readjusters
has had q liberal meaning in the canvass,
which gave Malone great advantage.
Both sides have soughtto cultivate friend
ly relations with the colored people.
Meetings have been held since the elec.
ton, over which colored men have presi.
ded, and at which colored speakers have
shared the time with white speakers, and
very HlehutT LelaItoh5 eAIst pet"eeu tne
races.
The contest has been watched with deep
interest here. The President sees in the
results Of this campaign and in the pres
ent situation, better prospect for the fu-
ture OF Virginia. The colored voter Is
now an important factor, and all rights be-
ing assured, peace and prosperity will
follow.

What the "ScFatcher" Accomplished In
New York.

New YoRK, November 22.-The Execu.
tive Committee Of the Independent Re-
publcans have published an address, OF
which the following is the material part:
The Republican candidate for Cover.
nor OF New York has been elected by
nearly 10000 plurality, thanks to about
5000 votes for the Tammany candidate.
Without that help, Mr.. Cornell would
have been defeated by above $4,000 votes.
He has run behind the ticket $500 in New
York City, 2,SS7 In Brooklyn, and cor.
respondingly in nearly every part oil the
State. Mr.. Secretary Sherman estimates
those who .Scratched" Mr.. Cornell at SO,.
900; but since many Republicans needed
Mr.. Secretary Evarts' appeal not ITO vote
In the air." and voted for the less objec-
tionable OF the opposing candidates, this
may be an over.estimate. IT is probable
that at least 10000 Republicans rejected
Mr., Cornell, some such votes being Offset
and obscuTed by Tammany and Canal
votes. The staudard.bearer OF the ma.
chine Is behind the one unquestioned
man on the ticket, Mr.. Wadsworth, who
makes the best test OF party strength

NEw YoRE, November 22.-Having
twisted the market down to their satisiac-
ton and turned handsome profits, Messrs.
Gould, Sage, Keene, and the rest Of the
Wall street kings sent the price Of stocks
h,oming upward this morning. At the
lowest ebb yesterday they we're heavy
purchasers, and have continued to be 80
to-day.
While the assault by Gould, Wander.
bilt and Sage was intended to hurt Keene,
who is one Of the most courageous bulls
the street has ever seer, he, it seems, got
m inkIng OF what was going on, and has
met them at every point In such way
as TO make an enormously large sum, put
by mauy as high as 5000, 900. In.
deed, it is said to-day that keene
said last evening that $5,000,000 is
about the amount Of his profits In
the weeks transactions. He sold out
almost everything he had on Saturday at
the highest figures Of the fall, aud then
went short Tor thousands on the thous'
ands Of shares, SO that the entire decline
Of the week was clear prolific him. Then
closing all this out yesterday, he turned
again and became rampant bull, and soon
Saw everything that he had advanced from
J to 8 per cent. His heavy purchases at
the close last evening were fortythousand
shares Of Erie, and very large blocks OF
New Jersey Central. st. Paul and North
western, all OF which recovered to-day
much Of what they lost on Thursday and
Friday. fGI i 4 IL.
The magnitude Of Keene's operations,
his dash and pluck, and his almost un-
pAralleled good luck this week-as, indeed,
ever since he plunged into the New York
market are the talk Of the street. By
many he is regarded as the coming King
oEthe street. Every thing he touches in
crea ses In value, or goes the way he de:
sires. He took Erie when It was at 10, and
raw II boosted up TO AZ. Jersey Central
went up to 20 per cent, while he was hold.
Ing great block OF 1t. Northwest and
St. Paul hay increased 10 or l5 per cent,
when he was interested 10 them. The
Wall street men think Keene b as made
$4,000 900 by the fall and rise in values, II
not more.
