oIutiOnaFy Movement.

OtuttuHhFS hONcuents
San Francisco, November 6.-By par.
ties who profess 10 be inside Of move.
ment in this city, II Is asserted thata very
large proportion. Of the population ol
Mexico Is dissatisfied with the govern.
ment Of Diaz, that this dissatisfaction has
taken the shape ot an organized revolu.
tionary government, which includes many
OF the most distinguished soldiers and
politicians, and that an outbreak, which
will involveseveral Of the most important
Mexican states is imminent. An agent OF
the Government OF Restoration OF the Re.
public OF Mexico, OF which General Angel
Maria Corrillo DeabOrnozo Is President,
is in this city endeavoring to negotiate for
material laid 10 further scheme for the
overthrow OF Diaz, President OF Mexico.
The agent invites capitalists who are
now considering a scheme to supply the
revolutionary government with certain
arms and military supplies in return for
which they are TO be granted the first au.
thority to organize national bank OF
Mexico, notes of which are to be legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
and to be receivable In payment for public
lands at the rate Of one dollar per acre, all
public land Of Mexico to be set apart for
this purpose. The second, franchises for
railroads and teIegraphs throughout
Mexico and subsidies in bonds and national
bank notes sufficient for construction.
The third abolition OF all duties on importa-
tions Of goods from the United States into
Mexico by land right OF immigrants, are
guaranteed taxation, and service in the
Mexican army for stated period, Is 10 be
remitted and and religious tolerations u.s.
sured.
There seems to be no doubt that some
very ambitious men in Mexico are con-
ceEned in the movement and some oi the
heaviest capitalists Of the Pacific coast are
reported to be now examining it with
view TO engaging in the enterprise If 1t
promises success.
ByaprIvate letter from gentleman in
Boston 1t is learned that the same scheme
has been submitted to the capitalists who
own the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway. These gentlemen have already
sent an agent to Mexico to endeavor to
obtain from Diaz the same franchises so
far as their company is concerned, and
failing in that, it Is said, they promised to
give tho scheme their earnest attention.

40. U. W.-The Ancient Order Of
United Morkmen Is what might be called
atraternal insurance society, and as an In.
surance organization it has the largest
membership OF any insurance association
in America, and yet insurance is only one
OF the features OF the order. 1t is frater.
nal and beneficial, There is one lodge
now in the city, La Belle, organized some
years ago, that has O membership Of
some one hundred members. They pay a
sick benefit of s. per week, and
have In the treasury OF the lodge
about 81 900 Ior this purpose.
u. NJ. Pettee, u. Il. NJ, OF Cleveland,

completed the organization OF new lodge
in this city. The organization is in very
hourishing condition and has a member
ship OF 10000 members, carrying an in.
surance OF one hundred and sixty millions
OF dollars.
Last year the Order paid to the widows
and orphans of It's deceased members six
hundred and forty thousand dollars, and
this without disputed claim. The aver.
age cost OF carrying this insurance for the

to be with them, and the practical feature
Of this is the $1,000, which is the sum to
be paid, and at an average cost Of only
about four cents day. The new Lodge

PHILADELPHIA, November 5.-The Hon.
Daniel ]. Morrell has been interviewed
by the Philadelphia Times, on the steel
bloom question, as follows:
Reporter Il should like to known, Mr..
Morrell, II you have any criticism 10 offer
upon the recent decision OF the Treasury
Department fixing the duty on steel
blooms at 45 per Centum dd rdlOTem.
Mr.. Morrcll-I think tits all wrong, and
is certain to be very injurious. The Besse.
mer steel blooms brought under this deci.
sion are partially manufactured rails. at
45 per centum dd udlOrem the duty will be
about one.half OF one cent per pound,
while rails are charged one and quarter
cents per pound. The difference in the
duty on the two products is SIG 75 per ton.
AS these blooms can be made into finish
ed rails at a cost OF about SIS per ton, the
result will be that great quantities OF
bloomswill be imported to be finished here
as rails. 1t is serious blow to our iron
and steel industries.
Reporter-Is not the law as it stands
obscure or unsymmetrical?
Mr.. Morrell-l think not. 1t is true
that steel ingots are rated at q cents per
pound, while rails are / cents per pound,
but when this duty upon ingots was i'm
posed Bessemer steel ingots were not
known commercially, and it applied to
crucible cast steel, which is more costly
metal.

The Democratic Policy NJ Washington
this Winter.

The Democratic Policy nc Washington
this Winter.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun, who Stands in" with the
Democratic managers at Washington, and
isgeneralIy well informed as to their pol.
icy, telegraphs to the Sun Of yesterday as
follows in regard to the course that will be
pursued in Congress this winter:
"AdviCes received here from Democratic
leaders OF high national repute, especially
from Southern public men, leave no doubt
thata broadly national and conservative
course will be the Democratic policy the
coming winter. Zealots will be made to
take back seats. Passionate defamation,
tropical rhetoric and sectional reCrimina-
tion will be severely set down upon.
Snch safe and conservative leaders as
Bayard, Whyte, Herman, Randolph, Cor
don, Lamar and Ransom will demonstrate
that the Democracy OF all sections are
anxious for a cordial alignment with the
national feeling. the character, capital and
responsibility OF the country. The Re-
pubIlcans will be furnished with no more
campaign thunder in the shape OF foolish
utterances OF excited oratory addressed to
backwOods audiences at home rather than
to the intelligence of Congress and the
country. With the advantage OF the hand
some victory in New York, and with no
handicap Of silly utterances from would
be leaders in Congress, the best informed
Democrats here claim that the party is
sure OF q substantial and enduring victory
next year.
lfthe Republican party has done moth.
ink else in the late elections than to bring
about such wholesome change OF feeling
as thit among the Democratic leaders, it
has certainly not labored in vain. To
compel the Democratic leaders to recog.
nize the necessity for an alignment with
tue national feeling""- is a great feat Of
itself. 1t means in plain English that the
States Rights secessionism OF the party is
to be laid aside, at least for the present.
1t accords with theadvice Of the poet who
said that it was well to assume virture il
yOH have it not"
We thlnK, however, that tho american
people will not be badly fooled by any as.
sumption of achange of heart on the part
of the Democracy until they have
brought forth some fruits meet for re-
pentance. - =. They will not forget that the
party has played fast and loose ever since
the war, and that whenever it had a
show for success it could not keep its
cloven foot hidden.
The solid South has well understood
mortgage on the party, and inasmuch as
the stream cannot rise higher than its
fountain, so the nationality OF the Demo-
cratic party, controlled as the party is by
the South, cannot be a very trustworthy
article.

1t is not known as yet how tho State
ticket, othel' than Cornell, stands in New
York. 1t seems to be close shave bet
wecn Hoskins, the Republican candidate
for Lieutenant-G Governor, and Potter, the
Democratic candidate. The State Treas
nreship is likewise in doubt, and may be
the other offices. This being the case, the
claim that New York is q Democratic State
is at least premature. The editor OF the
Tribune telegra phs as follows in regard to
the situation:
ave don't give up tue State ticket, but
il We lose 1t, it will be by so close q vote
that Democrats will have little TO boast OF.
Tammany has been badly beaten in the
city, and it will probably cripple John
Kelly and leave Tilden in almost as
strong u position in his party as though
he had been able to force Robinson upon
q united party. At the same time, Il
leaves New York in doubt next year, with
this advantage for Republicans, that il
"TIlden is able to force the Democratic
party to nominate him, there will be an
element in that party in this State, not
perhaps as large as 1t was this year, but
still considerable in number, which will
be hostile to Tilden, and will certainly not
work as hard for him as they did this
year for Kelly. In other words, while the
Democrats were split this year for Gov,
G9rnor, the struggle between Robinson and
Kelly had a tendency to bring out the
last Democratic vote, every one OF which
was cast for the remainder OF the Demo
cratic State ticket. II the result Is de
ieatOt this ticket, or even its election by {
very small majority, Tilden's chances o
carrying the State next year, when somt
Democrats will certainly be hostile, vii
be slim. Everywhere else we SWEEP
things, and we teel here, therefore, a
though Republicans had no cause TO b.
despOndent over the result. We have 60

WASHINGTON, November 6.-Informa-
tion has been received here OF an official
character that there will he two Terrific
ries knocking at the door for admission as
States this winter. These are Dakota and
Utah. 1t is claimed that the population
Of each is sufficient. The Dakotans claim
or their Territory a population Of 10000.
In 1870 it had population OF 14,OOO. The
increase has been tremendous, and there
is now no doubt but what there will GER
tainly be enough to make State by the
end OF the present year. But as it is set.
tied mainly from New England and the
Middle States, the population is very
"stalwart" IN political sentiment, and
the present Democratic Congress Is not
anxious Tor tho admission OF additional
Republican States. With Utah the case
Is different, and the Democrats claim that,
II admitted, it will not enroll itself with
the Northwestern States in political senti-
meut. The claim is freely made that
Utah is Democratic. This makes it i'm.
possible that either Territory will be ad-
mitted without the other. The subject
will be agitated this winter.
