An adjournment till two o clock was then made.
On reassembling, the committee on resolutions
reported the resolutions adopted at the last state
convention, also one pledgng hearty support to
the nominee of the convention. Baloting for the
candidate for representative was resumed, and
through twenty ballots no material variation from
the figures given in the first made Some
times Stewart would lead Joyce by a few votes,
sometimes Joyce was ahead. and again the two
leading competitors were neck and neck. At the
conclusion of the twentieth ballot recess was
taken till seven o'clock. After the first ballot of
the evening session, Batchelder's strength began
to swing to Joyce, and on the wentyfourth ballot
the vote stood as follows:

PLAIN TRUTH.-The New York Tribune
well says; "The candidate aud the party
cannot be separated. The Democratic at
tempt to run him Hancock on his per-
sonal merits will only force people to OBJ
serve that politically he has no merits, and
no opinions of which anybody is aware. He
came into political notice because, when
chosen as an instrument by Andrew John
son, he gave out as his own the legal and
political views of Judge Black and noted
judge of the White League party in Louis
lana. If he remains in political notice,
these and other such men will shape his po-
litical opinions and utterances The peo-
pie, therefore, will ask, when they vote, not
what sort of man Hancock is, but what
sort of a party is running him."

SENSIBLE LAw.-Another one of the pro-
scriptive laws of California has been pro-
nounced unconstitutional by the United
States circuit court. The law in question
declares that GAIL aliens incapable of be-
coming electors of this state are hereby pro-
hibited from fishing or taking any fish, lob
sters, shrimps or shell fish of any kind for
the purpose of selling or giving to another
person to SELL" A half dozen Cinnamon
who lived by fishing were caught in the act
short time ago, tried, convicted and SEN
fenced under this law, which was enacted in
April last. A writ of habeas corpus brought
the Mongolians out of prison, and after a
full argument, the circuit court held that
the law in question was evidently intended
to apply to one class of aliens only, namely,
Cinnamon; that it was not passed in pursu-
ance of any public policy relating to the
fisheries of the state, but simply as means
of carrying out the policy of excluding the
Chinese: that it was therefore in conflict
with the Burlingame treaty, which guaran-
tees to Chinese subjects in the United States
the same privileges, immunities and exemp-
ton in respect to travel or residence as may
there be enjoyed by citizens or subjects of
the most favored nation, and that it is also
in conflict with the fourteenth amendment
to the national constitution, which probib-
its every state from denying to any person
within its jurisdiction the equal protection
of the law. The Cinnamon were therefore
discharged and may go fishing when they
like, anything in the statutes of California
to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.

Arthur they say

The fact that he Irish American gives another proof
of the impartial beraliy of the Republican party which
the Democracy will surely fail to initiate with such posi-
tive evidence of the and beralty of this
party OF the Union cannot help deporng the apparent
inatuaton of OF countrymen the
souess, and bgoted combination ms-named Democracy.
Trusting however, In their love OF freedom and their
faterng devotion to which they believed
right, we look forward with cheerful hope TO the time
when having discovered the character Of false

eyovng people, they have always rghtfully belonged.

Irish Republicans.

The Democratic party has hitherto seemed
to claim right to the adherence Of citizens
Of Irish birth or descent, and, as a rule, such
citizens have conceded the point, and allowed
themselves to be used by the party at its
pleasure. Some prominent Irishmen, how
ever, have at last discovered that their coun-
trymen have made great mistake, and that
the Republican party has stronger claims
upon them than its rival, and that it is high
time those claims were recognized. These
gentlemen, including representatives from
all the states, have addressed call to the
sh-Americans Of the United States for a
convention to be held in Indianapolis, H.
diana, to "promote by every means in their
power the election of Garfield and Arthur"
and to take measures for forming Irish
American clubs throughout the country.
They urge in their address that the Repub-
lican party has never advanced a principle
or enacted a statute in any way at variance
with a single doctrine of that patriotic faith
which has upheld the people of Ireland in
their long struggle for national independence.
1t has abolished slavery, made all men equal
before the law, protected American industry
from the avarice of British capitalists, COM
PEELED the universal recognition of the
American doctrine of naturalization, 80 that
native and foreign born citizens find equal
protection when beyond the limits of the
United States.
The Democratic party on the contrary has
done the reverse of all these things. 1t has
been the party of aristocratic ideas, sympa-
thizing with foreign oppressors, whether
monarchs or capitalists. While claiming the
allegiance of the Irish-Americans and hav-
ing the benefit Of their votes, it has never adj
mitted them to their share of the honors
and advantages of office. For example, in
New York, the great stronghold of Irish De-
mocracy, no citizen of Irish birth has ever
been permitted to hold the office of COVER
nor, mayor, collector of the port, or post
master; and when Francis Herman was a
candidate for governor, his name was
scratched by sixty thousand Democratic
Know-nothings, simply because he was of
Irish descent. The Democratic treatment
of Irishmen is contrasted with that of the
Republican party, greatly to the advantage
of the latter. Sheridan, appointed lieuten.
ant-general by President Grant, Murphy and
Arthur, both Irish-Americans, appointed
collectors by Grant, James Kelly appointed
postmaster by Lincoln, Patrick II. Jones by
Grant, Richard Crowley, appointed district
attorney, James McLeer, postmaster of
Brooklyn by President Hayes, and James B.
Carr elected secretary of state, are witness
ses that the Republicans are more Just to
the Irish-Americans than the Democrats.
The signers of the call express their conf
dence in General Garfield, and of General
Arthur they say;
The fact that he Is Irish American gives another proof
of the impartial beraty of the Republican party which
the Democracy will surely fail to initiate with

The Democrats in this section do no
like General Hancock. 1t appears al
if they had a grudge of some kind
against him, and they cannot give him
a cordial or hearty support. II they
vote for him they will not dot willing
ly and cheerfully. 1t may be that they
hurrahed so long for the generalt
against whom he fought, that it Seems
like self qualification to hurrah for
him. We are not surprised at this.
For Unionmen to vote for JEFF. Davis OF
any of his generals would prove Bit

the name of w. s. Hancock upon II fol

honors he has received well does he
deserve them why rob him Of all he

We would suggest that the club
instead of robbipg him of his military
honors give him the whole of them and
besides fling out to the gentle breezes,
a gorgeous painting of the battle Of

history informs US General Hancock
bore q charmed life and with his
eighty unlimbered cannon he gained
a great victory for the Union Arms
while large numbers Of the Democracy
Of Wilmington were cheering for JEFF.
Davis and were under arrest for dis
loyalty. 1t was on Cemetery Hill that
Hancock took the heart out of Long
streets cold guard Of the South" A
description Of that battle says:
With foresight of that murderous
duel, he had placed eighty guns in
position, and the infantry were lying
on the ground; while it is said $50 rebel
cannon opened fire with great havoc
To cheer his men, as he was anticipa
ting an assault, Hancock ordered the
band to play, and rode, swinging his
hat, down the front of his line. Sud
denly the rebel fire ceased, and Long
streets $1,000 mer came to the as
sault. Hancock's eighty cannon moved
the rebel ranks and his infantry com
pleted the rout. Five thousand of the
assailsnts we're killed or captured.
By all means let the jefferson club
