FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. az, 1854
The Republican hippOdrone.


The Philadelphia Eseniag Telegraph
is a consistent independent Republican
newspaper. Whatever failings it has in
that direction lean to virtues side. The
straight organs, OF course, deem it cranky
and consider that it stands SO straight
as to sometimes incline backward, but it
can be fairly claimed to prefer its party
honor to its party's success, and nothing
more-a policy which in the end is help
full and salutary for any party. The
Telegraph is as intelligent and able as it
is frank and consistent and often detects
bubbles where others less far sighted,
think they see something substantial it
can pick out shams from among gems and
recognize plated ware among solid metal.
Its judgment upon the Butler boom is
worth consideration. When that old
sham Davies was being passed off for a
representative of Independent Republi-
cans the Telegraph if we remember right,
plainly declared him to be weak brother
and one who had long served Cameron
and who might be depended upon to do
it again. It is fact that nothing could
have hurt the cause of Independent Re
publicanism more than success with
such men as Grow or Davies or Lawrence.
There is not an element Of independence
about them, and next to straight tout
Stalwart success the Cameron. Quay ele-
ment would like to see the opposing fac
ton betrayed into such leadership.
Now comes out this movement with
the name OF Butler on it's banners. Who
is he? He WAS Ill ordinary member
of the Legislature until he distinguished
himself by voting for Cameron for United
States senator against the wishes, known
and expressed: of the Republicans of his
county. For this he was signalled for
promotion and in his election to the
state treasury the CamerOns saw their
chance to get fOOthold in a county
where they always did have trouble. y
As a candidate and as an official he has
been entirely tractable and it is no: reas-
enable to suppose now that his candi-
dacy is very offensive to THE FAMILY.
The Harrisburg Telegraph slobbers
him over with praise, and the
Wilkcsbarre Record is " fur him"
The people who are running
Beaver could not he better pleased
with any rival than Butler, if indeed
they are not willing to dlOp their first
reported candidate and take the Chester
county man. If Don Cameron sees that
it will hell: his chances of reelection in
1854, and that he can make more in
Eastern Pennsylvania in the way of
members than he will lose elsewhere,
he will drop Beaver and accept But
Ter.
When the turflnan has an interest in
both the horses entered and is not par
ticular which wins, tliey call it hippo
drome, and that is about the size of the
present Republican contest.

The Population OF American Cities.

\. !. Herald.
The proportion between males and
females in the cities of the United States
exhibited in the recent census bulletins
differs SO greatly from the proportion be
tween them in the whole country that the
figures arc remarkable. In the whole
country there is al excess Of nearly 4
million males. The precise figures are ::
Males, 25,518, $40 females, "a, ,636, 963.
But in almost all the cities this proportion
is reversed. There are fOrty-tive cities
Of more than forty thousand inhabi-
tants, and in all but nine tho females
are Chicago, st. Louis, San Francisco,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Col
umbus, Minneapolis and st. .Paul-all of
them in the Mississippi Valley or beyond
it. In New York the figures are-males,
800, ,514; females. 615, 1856 in Philadel
phia-males, 405, ,975 females, AL, 1876 :;
in Brooklyn-males,2 272, 248: females, 294, :
415 in Boston-males, 172, 26S females,
100 81, and in Baltimore-males, 157, 1893 !;
females, ia, 29O. OF the nine exceptions
San Francisco is the most noticeable, the
proportion there being-males, 132, COS :;
females, 1O1 ,351 and probably SO great q
difference is attributable mainly to the
Chinese section of the inhabitants. Next
in peculiarity is Kansas City, with 3, ,999
males and only 90, 7s6 females. In the
other six the difference is small, running
from 9,625 in Chicago. with a population
of SOB, 1S5, down to only 202 in Cleveland,
with population Of 160, 146. Superfic.
tally it may occur to some minds that the
great American cities all offer attractions
which should induce an excess of male
population. These figures, however,
show the reverse, The chief causes of the
discrepancy are to be sought in the larger
employment Of females than males in
household service and in the continually
increasing engagement of females in 1ner-
camille and manufacturing pursuits.

plicated in the criminal negligence that
caused the loss of many lives, and by
it the case is turned over to Mr.. Nc.
Keon, as the representative of the people
and the protector of their tights. The
Herald aptly observes that there is an
impression that it is impossible to punish
great corporations when they do wrong !;
that their influence is supreme with con.
crosses and legislatures, and that very
frequently the courts are their supple
instruments. In this view of the case,
therefore, the accused railroad officials
will not he the only persons on trial,
when the matter comes before judicial
tribunal and the guilty ones are arraign-
ed for punishment. The manner in
which these prosecutions are conducted
will 90 far toward confirming or dis
proving suspicion in the absolute integ-
rity of the courts.

State Senator. William T. Davies, of
Bradford, is in Washington. He has
visited Senator Cameron, and there is con-
siderable speculation among the members
of the delegation as to the object of his
visit. 1t was said by a congressman from
the western part of the state that Mr..
Davies was not averse to securing the Re-
publican nomination for lieutenant.gov-
ernor, having failed to secure the nomiua-
ton for state treasurer last summer, and
the chances were that he would receive the
support of both the Cameron men and the
Independents. VIM. H. Armstrong, of
Williamsport, is also In Washington. He
has, it is said, longing eye cast on the
vacant Office Of commissioner of Pacific
railroads.
