PHILADELPHIA, Oct 81. 1881.
Especial Correspondence Of the FIREMAN.
DEAR HENRY am thankful and happy
that l was not depositor in that New Jer-
sey bank of which Mr.. Baldwin was the
cashier. feel joyful that | am not embar-
rassed on account of that banks failure
The directors of the Mechanics National
Bank OF New Jersey should also be happy
at least should felicitate themselves with the
pleasing reflection that their able, enter
prising and obliging cashier lid not give Mr.
Nugent the bank building. They should be
thankful that Mr.. Baldwin did not allow Mr.
Nugent to carry of that magnificent struc-
ture. Malone is happy that every revenue
district in the United States came down
handsomely TO help him in his reputation
propaganda. He is happy in obtaining the
resources of success, and makes no bows IN
saying that with the money thus attained he
bought every negro vote in Virginia. / am
delighted to learn that we are to have "a
SwalowTail and Chateau Yquem Admin
istratiOn." There is to be different branch
of manners in the White House Arthur
had preacher for paternal sire, and NOV
ed all his life in good society. 1t Is said that
to see Arthur in a drawing room yOu would
think he was DOrn there and grew up with
the place. 1t would charm Chesterfield to
see Arthur turn easily from one group OF
gentlemen and ladies to another with nothing
in either tone or manner to indicate that he
was anybody in particular but that he had
just that easy dignity and polish without the
least OStentation, which beftS high official
life in a Republic. There is to be no by
gone prOvincialiSm at the White House, but
things will be done on an educated New
York basis. At the Executive Mansion
there will be no gross vulgarity of plain
whisky, but the choicest old vintages no
more of the garlic and Sans CullOtteS barbar-
tiles of our ancestors, but the ethics of a bill
of fare fit for gentlemen, and clothes that fit
Yes, indeed, dear Henry, times will look up
under Arthur. Is it any wonder, then, that
/ am delighted? Who should not be ? 1t
affords me infinite pleasure to be able to i'm
part to the readers of the FREEMAN the joy
full tidings that President Arthur has for the
past week been in New York finishing up
his awfuly complicated private business,
and that most fortunately for him he has
Grant, COnkling and a host Of other stall
warts with him assisting 20 settle up his
private affairs.
WHAT AMERICA OWES To THE CATHOLICS.
Col John w Forney, editor Of Progress,
in All article on the religious commemoratiOn
in st. JOSeph's Catholic church, this city, of
the one hundredth anniversary of the sur
render at Yorktown of the British army un-
der Lord CORVALLIS, says: "All the diplo-
matte history of the period proves the aSSer-
tiOn that, but for the aid rendered 10 the cause
Of America in the ReUollItion By the Catholic
King Of France, Louis the Sixteenth, this CONT
nent tcould to day be as much q British depend
encV as the Dominion Of Canada" All the
Protestant powers of the world, headed by
Great Britain, were either hostile to the Col
Onies or silent, 1t was Catholic France that
lead the way and saved the American con-
tinent to freedom. Washington, Adams,
Livingston, Morris, and Franklin, all admit
ted it and there is a special historic Justice in
the gratitude the American people owe to
the two Catholic governments, France and
Spain, The descendants of LAFAYETTE De
Grasse, ROchambeau, SteUben, De kalb,
Luzerne, kOsciuskO, and other brave CathO-
hes who aided the American Colonies to
conquer peace and liberty. should ever be
dear in the hearts of the American peOpls. -
Columbus, who discovered America, was a
devOut Catholic; Americas Vospueius was
Catholic Nasce de Cana was Catholic
and so was the heroic priest, Las Cassas. Ii
was Catholics who mOveI to the front of
destiny and assisted American freedom with
their blood and treasure.
AFTER THE ELECTION THE SLAUGHTER.
Had Artnur's Cabinet been made one
month ago, Benjamin Harris Brewster would
have been Attorney General. One brief
month OF the adula:iOn of the cOurtiers of
power have effaced all memory that A Arthur
had of Garfelds policy. It was the i'm
pulse of Arthur to show some respect for
Gdrfeld's policy, but Grant and the leading
stalwart5 of the party would not allow him
To do so. Chant is closer to Arthur than any
nIau except COnkling, and Grant demands a
stalwaTt administration. He commands that
the adminiSi ration be made boldly stalwart
and that the party be given to understand
that Garfield is dead and that his policy is
dead with him. He commands an immedi-
ate and entire stalwart Cabinet which will
at once dismiss all the Garfield Cabinet but
Lincoln, who was a Giant delegate to the
Chicago Convention, but not admitted AL
though Brewster IS stalwart, he is not stall
wart enough for the Stawartism of the day.
Arthur Is as uncOmpromiSinG, bitter and ag-
greSsive q staiwart as Grant but he i, a
more adroit politician than Grant, ard al
though the great giftt taker urges the immp-.
diate nomination of COnkliug, Beale Bout
well and others, Arthur will wait until after
the election to begin the work of slaughter
ing the Garfield men. Blaine must remain
for time. The reason for the postpone
ment OF the execution of Blaine to stalwart-
ize the administration until after the election
IS that 1t would cost the Republicans of
pennsylvania the loss of thousand OF votes
for Baily by throwing them to Wolfe Ar
thurs desire IS to get the stalwarts into
complete possession of the administration
without fatally shocking the Republican
party. After the eiPctiOn the slaughter of
the GarfleldeIS will commence.
PITNET's EXPOSITION

will yet be large amount of rascality and
corruption in the departments atWashington

OF the smaller fry, but he will make revela-
tions that will be very damaging to larger
Try. lie asserts that all he did was done un-
der orders from his superiors in office.
REDEEMING HIS PROMISE.
On taking the oath of office Mr. Arthur
made solemn promise that he would be
guided by the example and policy of his la
mented predecessor, aud notwithstanding
tins 1t VIII not be two months before not one
OF the advisers of Garfield will be left in the
Cabinet of Arthur. The work of dispensing
