There were thus five strong Demo-
cratic counties, six weak Democratic

there not some probability that the
German faction may control the DEM
ocratic nominations and the general
election be carried by the Republic
cans? If that should result, then
neither Mr.. German, Mr. Whyte nor
Mr.. Hamilton may be U. s. Senator
though Mr.. Williams, or Mr.. Hamil-

Blaine and Belmont.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune reviews at
length Thursdays remarkable scene
at the examination of Mr.. Blaine.
The following is an extract
Mr.. Perry Belmont has reached the
goal of his ambition. He has achiev-
ed a reputation, at least for a day.
AS TO the kind of reputation-that is
quite another matter. There is proba-
bly, no type Off man so little worthy
of respect as the young man who is
insolent to his elders. There is an
Old Testament principle which rules
to this day. even in Congressional
COMMITTEES rooms. Mr.. Blaine is by
no means old enough yet to be called
venerable, and no one who has heard
his testimony during the pas; two
days would expect to hear him or his
friends plead old age against his enc
mics. But Mr.. Blaines head has
grown grey in a public service lasting
quarter of century, and he enjoys
the honor and respect, and even the
affection of large number of the
American people. He appeared be-
fore the Foreign Affairs Committee
as an ex-Secretary of State. Here
were reasons enough apparently why
he should receive respectful treat
ment from man more than twenty
years younger. But Mr.. Belmont
apparently from the lack both of ma
tive courtesy and public experience.
did not see this. IF he had been a
gentleman, either by instinct or cul.
tivation, he would have observed all
the forms of politeness towards such
a man, whatever his personal opinion
or personal feelings towards him may
have been. If he had experience in
public life. he would have known
that parliamentary battles, no matter
how sharp are always conducted by
men of discretion within the bonds
of parliamentary decorum, and with
out violations of the ordinary rules
of good breeding.

The COntending Factions.

The O. L. D. (Office- Loving DEM
ocrats) are beginning to be an impor'
tant factor in the Democratic party.
Their numbers would be welcomed
in the ranks of either faction. At
present they seem to be gravitating
fully towards Mr.. German, carrying
Gov. Hamilton along with them.
Mayor Whyte and Senator German
are antagonizing each other with
great vigor; Barnes Compton and
George Cotton are calling each other
hard names in the newspapers other
party leaders are furnishing their
arms for the coming fight; and the
Office seekers are ready to cast their
convictions wherever the prospects
are greatest for public plumber. Hard
names are banded about with great
facility, and the Democratic party.
for the present, Is without one recog-
nized leader and head.
If there should be found no way
of cementing these antagonizing ele-
ments, the divided party will find a
Waterloo defeat in the fall campaign.
The extremity of that party should
be the opportunity of ours. We trust
that this fact will be so clearly recog.
nized, that there will be a cessation
of all petty difficulties in our own
ranks. This is the way to victory.
and we may walk in it, if we only
will. Prudence and care in our nom
nations, energy and good faith in the
campaign itself, and devotion to Re-
publican principles should give our
party an undoupted triumph. Fred
erick Examiner.

The Anti.ChineSe Bill.

WASHINGTON, April %. The
anti-Chinese bill, which passed the
Senate to-day. suspends the immi-
grafton of Chinese laborers for ten
years. and If any person prohibited
by the act should come into the
United States during that period he
must leave in ninety days. The
master of any vessel who knowingly
brings a Chinese laborer into the
United States during that period is
liable to fine not exceeding $500 for
each immigrant and imprisonment
not exceeding one year. Chinese
laborers who were in this country
prior to the ratification of the treaty
of November II, 1880, are not subject
to this provision of the act. The col
lectors of customs are required to
keep descriptive list of the laborers
belong to this excepted class, should
any of them take passage for his own
country, so that they can be identiti-
ed on their return and the shipmas-
tiers protected from the penalties OF
the act. The departing Chinaman OF
the excepted class is also to be furn-
ished with certificate, which he
must produce on his return. If he
wants to go by land to the British
possessions or Mexico, he is entitled
to certificate which will assist In
his Identification if he returns. Chi
namen who do not belong to the pro-
hibited class when they come to this
country must have credentials from
their own government showing that
they are not Immigrant "laborers.'
The altering or forging of descrip'
tive certificate is made misdemean-
or to be punished by fine not Elk.
ceeding 81 900 and imprisonment in
the penitentiary for term not ex-
ceeding FIVE years. A Chinaman OF
the prohibited class who refuses tC
leave is to be brought before judge
or commissioner of a United States
court, and if he is found to be here
in violation of the provisions of the
act, he is to be sent to his own coun-
try at the expense of the United
States government. All courts Of
the United States and State courts
are prohibited from admitting Chi.
nese immigrants to citizenship. The
word "laborers" used in the act is tc
be construed to mean both both skill
ed and unskilled laborers and min
ers.

Section 10 of the registration law
specifies the days on which the off.
GERS of registration shall SIT for the
purpose of registering the qualified
voters in the different counties of the
State. This is the language of the
law: The officer shall sit ION the
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday and Saturday after the second
Monday in the month of July, and
on Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday
Friday and Saturday after the Sec
Ond Monday in the month of August,
1882, inclusive of said last mentioned
day, and shall sit for the purpose OF
revising and completing his said reg
istry or reglstries of voters, or poll
books, of said election district. or of
the election precincts of said election
district. on the Tuesday. Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of
the two successive weeks next after
the first Monday in September, in the
year 1882, and shall sit in
like manner and for the same pur-
poses for two successive days COM
mencing with and including the first
Monday in October. in the year 1882"
1t will be seen that the work of reg.
istration in the county will not begin
until the Tuesday after the second
Monday in July, and also that there
are twenty-three days in which to
register. and not twenty-five as erro
neously reported. The law includes
the second Monday in August with
the five days following, which with
the Eve in July, ten in September
and two in October makes twenty
three days.

In accordance with the constitu-
tional requirement Governor Hamil-
ton has issued his proclamation
declaring the adoption of the amend.
ment to the State constitution pro-
posed at the session of the General
Assembly in 1880, and ratified by
popular vote at the election of 1881.
The amendment takes the place of
section 5 Of article 4 of the constitu.
ton, and is designed to correct a
curious blunder in the constitution OF
1867 in reference to the election of
judges. According to the original con-
stitutional provision, all the judges
elected in 1867 would have been re-
CURED to be reelected in October
1882, at the general election for men,
bers of the General Assembly," but
as there is no such general election
i'll 1882, one of two things must have
happened-either the Governor, upon
the expiration of the terms of the
several judges in 1882, would have
been entitled to appoint their success
sors to hold until the general election
of 1883, or the present judges would
have been entitled to hold over until
their successors were elected and had
qualified. To clear up this question

1t is announced that the "Board of
Control" of the Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee has ap.
pointed a Finance Committee with
R. P. Flower, of this city, as chair
man. The propriety of Mr.. Flowers
selection for this position at once ap-
pears when it is remembered that it
was, of course, thought desirable, not
to say essential, by the Board of Con-
troll that the chairman on Finance
Finance is a genteel word-should
live in the city in which the party's
main Bari is to be found. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Bari will begin to
flow forthwith, and that the golden,
or at least auriferous, stream will not
cease until after the Presidential cleo
ton in 1884. And, by the way, if it
be true that the Democratic party has
really provided itself with BOARD
of Control" it is heartily to be con.
graduated. 1t has badly needed the
ministrations of capable Board of
that nature for the last quarter of a
century. Intelligent control would
have kept it from the long line of
blunders, reaching from 1860, when
it gave aid and comfort to secession,
to 1880, when it allowed the uncon-
trolled Hancock to characterize the
tariff as local issue.-N Y. Tribune.

to make what is called "stock." This
material is brought in barrels and is
