The fact that petroleum is one of the few
articles of which the price is still held ma
terially above that Of one year ago sufficiently
explains the decrease in the movement of that
product. The corn movement is affected IN
part by the large exports made earlier in the
winter, and partly by tle fact that wheat can
now be shipped from here at about 20 cents
less per bushel than in January, 1880. In
nearly all branches OF trade the movement is
decidedly large for the season, and the pre-
vailing spirit one of great confidence.

dispatch, there will be a trial OF strength De-
tween the Irish members and the Govern
ment, both on the questions OF OBJ
struction and coercion, either OF which
is invested with grave Importance to
all concerned. IN Dublin, the dreary
State trials will end, resulting either
in the acQuittal of tho trarersers or
the disagreement Of the jury. NO one
expects conviction. and there is no
probability that the authorities will order
new trial. Pending the excitement which
these matters will occasion. the promised
Irish land reforms are not likely to receive
much attention. 1t is seldom that Govern
ment. and least of all British administration,
coerces and reforms at the same time.
In the clash of discussion over the various
routes proposed for ship canals at the
Isthmus or near it, there is at least novelty
in the argument that any ship canal at al
will be q mistake. This is substantially the
theme of the letter we print to-day from MT.
Defrees, the well-knOwn Government Printer.
MIR. Dafrees declares that canal on the Pan
ANA route would offer Inducements to very
small share of the traffic now claimed for 1t,
and he gives the distances between LiverpoOl
and the great Asiatic and Australian trading
points, by the Suez and Panama canals re-
spectively. showing iii every case consider
able margin in favor of the Sucz route, and
in some cases a great one. Nicaraguan
canal Mr. Defrees admits, would not cost
more than one-half as much as a Panama
canal but even that he believes would be worth
less as o. business investment" In short, his
thesis may be summed up by saying that this
is an age of railroads and not of canals-the
element of time is too important to he disre-
garded. Mr.. Defrees's facts and figures derive
special interest from his statement that foi
many of them he is indebted to Mr.. NimmO
the accomplished Treasury s'atisticin They
will excite discussion.

Among the sensations of the pres
ent session of Congress will probably
be the speech which Representative
FELTON,, of Georgia. proposes to de-
liver on Southern election frauds.
DR.. FELTON, is Democrat, but he was
counted out at the last election, and
his personal experience has doubtless
convinced.him that bulldozing, tissue
ballots and repeating are not, after
all. the visionary evils which the
Southern Bourbons declare them to
be. So long as they were only en-
ployed to defeat Republicans it was
all right; but now that the Demo-
Gratis have begun to cheat each other,
the immortality of such practices be-
comes very apparent. BY all means
let Representative FELTON, speak his
mind.

The Mormon Ulcer.

The proper mode of dealing with
the Mormon ulcer on the body polite
has been subject of serious debate
with our best statesmen. Utah is a
territory, and as such is more directly
under the government of Congress
than a State can possibly be. The
existence of shocking State of POI
lygamy is admitted by every one and
yet there seems to be host of diff
culties in suppressing it. During all
the discussion of the polygamous out
rage on decency Mr.. G.. l.. Cannon
has been representing the territory as
Delegate in Congress-, although he
was polygamist himself Governor
Murray refuses to furnish him GER
tificate of reelection, mot only because
he has been outraging the sense OF
decency by his practlcaA carrying out
of pOlygamy, but also because he is
an Englishman who has never been
naturalized. The certificate has been
furnished hisopponent,against whom
no ineligibility can be alleged. This
will of course ensure contest for
the seat in the next Congress and the
country can then see whether Com
gressmen will stultiiy themselves by
permitting any one to occupy a seat
who is an open perpetratsr Of d crime
which they have condemned and
provided a punishment for. This j.
good time for the country to get rid
of the vilest ulcer now gnawing al

In forecasting the probabilities as
to Republican control of the Senate
after the 4th of March the partlsans
of that side leave Judge Davis out OF
their calculations entirely, as they
consider that he is at last safely
lodged in the bosom of the Demo
Gratis. A day or two age an appli-
cant for Office carried petition to
Judge Davis and asked him to head
it with his signature. He looked it
oyer and then said to the party 4:
"You had better take this to some
Republicans and get them to sign it

From the N. Y. Tribune.
Afraid to Investigate.

AT first blush it seems strange that
public interest in the great forgery
with which the Democratic National
Committee closed the late cam aign
should be so languid. Here was an
ATTEMPT to carry Presidential cleo

ever undertaken by political conspir.

ornation and perjury; the res ponsi-
bility for it was assumed by the Ma

Haunted in the face OF the putative
author with the defiant assertion that
denial would be useless and the sub
sequent refusal to accept his solemn
denial of it as anything but an addi-
tional falsehood. Three States were
unqueStiOnably carried for the Dem.
ocrats by this infamous fraud: and
now that the whole thing has
passed by and there is no longer any
doubt as to the criminality and base
ness of the transactions, one would
suppose that the leading Democrats
inculpated in it would be anxious to
have the facts investigated for their
own vindication, and that the public

The People and tho Leaders.
rrisDurr Patriot

The Philadelphia Times advises with
much earnestness that the Democratic
members of the Legislator, join with one
OF the other in the Republican factions
and elect % United States senator But
its plan for bringing about the coalition
IS a poor one. it says: "Whatever is
right to do, Wallace, Randall, Dill, Sten.-
er, jerks, Mutchlcr and other prominent
leaders should agree upon and manfully
maintain. They can thus settle the sena-
torial issue any day, and they will do it
unless they are mere boys to be spanked
and kicked about by tine leaders of Re.
publican factions" Wallace, Randall,
Dill. Stchger, jerks, Mutchler and
"otler prominent leaders, cannot settle
the senatorial issue and if they attempt
to do it they will be "spanked," if not
kicked" not by the leaders of the Re-
publican factions but by the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania. The Democratic
members of the Legislature can settle the
question. They are the "lead-
ers' who must take the responsibility
and who must answer primarily to the
voters ofthe party for thci: action. It is |
their duty tn ''settle the senatorial ques-
ion y if they can DO it decently, honor
IDLY and consistently. They should con-
'ult together and agree if possible on a
policy which will at once benefit their
,arty and reflect credit on the state.
they will doubtless do this in their own
,ood time. .
