THE Bull Ring triumphant; the Blaine
boom gets black eye. So the wayfarer
reads the result of to-day's stormy pro-
ceedings in the Republican county COM
mittee, which will be found fully detailed
elsewhere. The delegates chosen to
represent the Old Guard in Mr..
Don Cameron's convention on the 4th
of next month will report to that gentle
man for orders. The bovine horns are
dripping with porcine gore at the end of
this encounter, which certainly has
been one of the most notable
in the recent history of the Re-
publican party of the county. The
young senator hasn't lost his grip, and
the Lancaster delegation is delivered
bag and baggage into his hands for such
disposition as he may choose to make of

TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. 81, 1880.
O,COuOr Answered.

san antidote to the gloomy prophe-
cies of Charles O'Conor which we recent
" published, we direct the attention OF
our readers to republication OF the let
ter written to the INTELLIGENCER
some months ago by Judge Black on the
same theme that engaged Mr.. O'Conor
in his letter to the Newark club. Judge
Blacks letter was written of course
without any controversial purpose and
with no regard especially to anybodys
contrary view of the question; but IL Will
serve none the less completely to meet
the points raised by Mr.. O'Conor, and
presents forcible reasons why his pessl-
mist view of the situation should not
gain popular prevalence. Great reforms
always move slowly, and though we see
the uprooting of governmental evils ana
political wrongs with snail-like-
times crab-like-pace, toward the victory
of popular liberty, if we do but look
back to the great advance made
in our position within dozen
wears it will be seen that the
experience of the past has hopeful les
son for the future. The clouds have been
as dark and the situation as Threatening
as Mr.. O'Conor pictured, but he does
not seem to have seen the riffs OF llsht
that have since broken through and dis
persed the gloom where Judge Black
clearer eye now reaches. Up to the time
that his own magnificent protest was
heard in the supreme court in the Mllli'
ken case, that the remnant OF civil llper'
ty left us should he spared by the JUDI
catorv into whose hands was then com
mitted the destiny of the nation. there
had been steady progress, unstayed d!

That case and his victory in it for con
stitutional law. personal liberty, and tn
overthrow of the infamous system

equinox in our history. The brooks wer
not unlocked from the ice fetterS at once
nor the March winds tempered, nor dl'
the trees all of a sudden burst into bloom
and the birds set to singing. But lh
time was at hand when change wa
sure to come and the events were happen
ing that were big with the promise o
better things.
Mark the progress that Democracy ha
made since the time when Judge Blacl
SAWS the outlook for the republic wa
more hopeless than that of Prometheus
State after state has been wrestcd iron
Republican control until the Opposition
are not left in charge of more thai
half of them, and only intestine trouble
can defeat the Democratic nominee TO
president. The lobby has been almos
utterly scourged from the capitol, tn
carpet-baggers are scattered to the winds
and, whatever the theory of the Repul
licans, surely we have compelled them
decenter practices.
1t remains for the Democracy to ilnIs

Irish Relief.

Mr.. Riggs, treasurer Of the Irish relief
fund in Washington, has received tele-
gram from the Lord Mayor of Dublin, ac-
knowledging the receipt of $4,000, and
saying that 'the distress is increasing
with fearful rapidty.' Owing to the ex-
treme urgency OF distress in Ireland,
Messrs. Parnell and Dillon have issued an
appeal for aid to the Canadian people.
1,5O0 have been raised in Toronto, $500
in Montreal, and $500 in keenansville,
Canada, for the relief fund. The mayor
of Montreal has agreed to read an address
of welcome to Mr.. Parnell on his visit to
that city, it being understood that MIR.
Parnclrs mission there is simply in the
interest of relief,

The attempted judicial despctism of
Judge Patterson toward the editors of the
Lancaster INTELLIGENCER is denounced
by the press of the state in proper terms.
Judges though they be supreme do not
yet possess the land nor the inhabitants

HART, THE YOUNG MULATTo NEGRO
walkist Won the O'Leary belt at the
conclusion Of the six days race on
Saturday night by making in that time
565 miles and one-tenth. This is the
greatest distancem made in that time on
record. 1t beats the greatest record
by Blower Brown, 55a miles and 165
yards, just twelve miles; and is trifle
more than fifteen miles in excess of
Weston's great feat. Hereafter the
general supposition that mixed blood
is an evidence of want of stamina
will not be regarded as unexception-
ably conclusive.

to make fun Of us as the half-ciyilized

travel from this country and frequent
contact with American gentlemen and
ladies' have taught our brothers of the
Old World better as to the personnel of
our people while the immense supplies
we are able to send them in exchange
for their gold tells the story of our in
dustry and the productiveness of the
vast and diversified country we pos

London EconOmist, perhaps the best and
most reliable commercial journal, now
takes quite favorable view of our re-
sources and financial ability. 1t argues
from what basis we hardly know, that
Ia twenty years from now, in 1900, we
will be out of debt, and will be under
but one-tenth of the total taxation of
Europe, and we will be a successful
competitor with her in all the markets

The WEST POINT OUTRAGE still re-

searching examination by the Court Of
Inquiry, on Saturday. Senator Voor-
hee's denunciatIon, on Friday, OF the
brutal and disgraceful practice Of "haz-
ing" at West Point will meet with
hearty concurrence everywhere. The
tact that Whitaker was mulatto negro
does not palliate the dastardly and cow
ardly assault in the least. He was there
by authority of the government, and,
whether pleasant to the taste and feeling.
of white students or not, they commit
ted an odious and villainous outrage, If
they assaulted him and cut his ears, rs re-

body is fact proved. But whether by

certained. 1t is preposterous to suppose

begin to count profit for those concern,
ed In the industry" -
This ought TO make us al aetee 10 be
more united, and n Il wers not for the.
great salaries of the eoserunent officials.
for which politicians yearn continually,
we believe there would not be q senti-
ment hostile to one section entertained
In the other. The desire to held there
great revenues from Office, cause the Re.
publican politicians to disseminate the
most false and slapderous opinions Of
the Southern people-representing them
as rebels seeking to destroy the govern-
mont, when In fact they are laborine
diligently to help pay the debt Of the
country, and the many millions OF PEN
siens TO the late soldiers, without asking
or getting cent for emselves--will-
ingly swearing every year 10 sustain the
constitution which puts pensions forever
out Of their reach. Itisa pity thai our
Republican brothers are such greedy
liars. They might afford 10 tell the
truth to help raise the standard Of our
wealth and credit abroad at least; but
they stick to their lies, and will do SO
as long as they can gain office by the
use Of them to prejudice the credulous
and make votes against the Democrats.
In considering the remarks OF the
London Economist the New York Her
aid presents picture Of the future of
this country, that we think Is little too
nattering, however, that paper has large
facilities for securing the best data on
which 1t can base Its conclusions, and il
may be very nearly correct. IL says:
"one may rather suppose that the real
wonder Is that the people can be kept In
Europe at ALL" Our English contempo-
rary argues the point of our ability to
pay our debt and become successful
competitors for the trade Of all Europe,
on.fDancial grounds only. "But there Is
pleasant lesson in it for those queer
persons who, IN view OF this contrast,
believe we ought to abandon th, political
system that helps so greatly to produce
our condition aud fit ourselves with q
suit Of political old clothes from Europe.
"But there are points in the picture
which our English contemporary has not
touched, and our probable growth at the
direct expense Of Europe Is one Of them.
With some lapses excepted 1t may be
said in general way that every census |
Of the Unltee States has shown an in
crease that has nearly constant rela-
ton Of between forty and fifty per cent
to the whole numbers. We shall have
fifty millions in the census of this year,
seventy millions in 1890, and ninety-eight
or perhaps hundred millions in 1900,
by only our ordinary increase; while
the same period will, probably, witness
n Europe some enormous breakd down,
due TO the continuation and furtherance
Of the system that is producing the pres
ent savage discomfort"
