Farewell Reception 10 Lord COleridge
NEW YoRK, October 26;h-Lord Cole
ridges farewell reception to this country at
the Union League Club was attended by
several hundred of the most prominent cIti.
zens, lawyers and other professional gentle
men. Evarts introduced the guest, who, in
the course of his remarks alluded to living
as very dear friend. He had tried to Judge
of his merits impartislly and he hoped the
American people would deal with him as his
merits deserved. He regarded Irving as very
great actor. OF OfMatthew Arnold he said: "He
is one of the oldest and dearest friends, and
in his case, too, l may be somewhat biased in
my Judgment. 1 have, however, tried to
judge him dispaasionately, and to my mind
he is the most distinguished Euglishmsp.. ..liv.
ing. AS philosopher, poet and artist, he is
certainly very great" He said also there was
a possibility that John Bright would soon
visit this country. A vigorous, prolonged
outburst of applause followed this statement.
"When you hear Bright you will hear the
greatest of English orators. You will then
know what English oratory is, and what an
upright, straightforward and high minded
Englishman is.
Printers Successful.
New YORK, October 26sh.-The printers
strike for uniform rates at the different offices
has succeeded. At the Union rooms last
night the belief was expressed that every
firm in the city from whom higher wages has
been demanded would give in by Saturday.
Some places paid over forty cents per thou
sand ems, while other places only paid thirty
five and thirty-seven cents. As nearly
eighteen thousand men were affected by the
change, we anticipated more trouble than we
have had. So far ffty.two firms have agreed
70 g. zk1I
lishmeuts have refused. All the newspapers
on which the men struck have come to terms,
including the Egening Post MaU and Err.
press the Illustrated Tunes. Sunday Dispatch
and Irish World.
Lawyers Liberties.
NEW YORK, October 26th.-Iu the Dins-
more suit to cancel the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company's lease Of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, the follow
ing passed between Conkling and Gowep, the
opposing counsel. Conkling was examining +.
H. Faulkner, respectable builder of Phia-
delphis, who said be had forced desk to see
what thief was robbing him. "You speak of
thief, " said Conkling, were you referring
to YOURSELF" At this juncture Gowen rose
to his feet, his face turned purple and his
eyes flashed. "Is there no Court here" he
exclaimed, that has the right to protect
this witness from brutality HE has the
same right that any other man has to defend
himself against insult" said Conkling
calmly. "This is reconnaissance in force
by the Reading Railroad. but will try to go
on" Gowen continued in an indignant tone,
think that as a process of the United
States Court, this hearing is entitled to the
respect which would forbid the brutality and
insolence to which this witness has been SUBJ
1ected, and here l desire to enter a protest
against this outrage"
ia the Chinese Exclusion Act n Failure ?,
NEw YORK, October 26sh.-The Tribune
says: Is the Chinese Exclusion Act fail.
ure? 1t will not be long apparently before
the people on the Pacific Coast will begin to
ask themselves this question. We have al
ready said something of the new trade of
smuggling Cinnamon through British Co.
lumbis, bat a new leak has now made its sp.
pearance. Nearly two hundred Cinnamon
have recently landed in San Francisco, who
bore credentials that they were traders and
not lsborers. The bearers were admitted,
although it is asserted their appearance
showed thev were common lsborers and not
traders. While this is g rather vague state
ment, it is evident it would be easy for the
two Governments to differ in their interpre.
tation of the word "laborer." Under
Article XG. of the treaty, it is held
that all who are not teachers. Students,
merchants or visitors from curiosity, are
lsborers. This definition was accepted by the
President In his veto message, and was, &C.
cording to the view taken by tha President
in the memorandum accompanying the veto
message. The term ''laborers" included
laundrymeu who keep their own shops and
have small capital cigar merchants, shoe
makers and others, who are merchants and

ways easy to say when a man of this class
rises entirely to the dignity of merchant
and when he ceases to be laborer. The Chi
nese Government might easily differ from
ours on this point. On the other hand, If it
appears that the Chinese Government,
through any of its agents, was deliberately
evadiDg the law, issuing certificates to per-
SONS who were not entitled to them, its action
would be an appropriate subject of diplo.
matte remonstrance. Meantime, it is ap-
parent that the present influx of Chinese is
by no means small.

Political Notes.
NEw YORK, October 26th.-The Sun ap-
pesls for harmony in the Democratic ranks,
and predicts great gains and probably Re.
publican Senate to choose the United States
Senator. If the quarrel between the city
Democracy be stopped, the Democratic ma
iority in the State ought to be 1000. If the
quarrels in this city continue. the State may
be sure to the Democrats in 1884.
The Herald thinks that the bolt of the
country Democracy will make the Senate Re-
publican.
The venerable but eccentric Cassius M.
Clay writes to the Sun: Ex-President Tilden
having declined the nomination, Hoadly, up
to every one of my ideas of success, is the
man. Let Hoadly be our nominee for Presi-
dent in 1884. and the Republicans will go.
