Dean, president of the 1st Ma tional Bank of Stafford Springs. The Boston Journal says: "At the polling place in ward 3 there was no end of ex- citement, and MT. Jordan, in his vain ex- ertion to beat Mir. Dean for the alderman ic honors, became much excited and sev- eral times lost control of his feelings" " Col. Dean has been for two past years a member of the city council, and the sec- ond year was chairman of the committee on finance, position he is now likely to hold in the board of aldermen, and one of much responsibility, Maiden being city of 30,OO0 inhabitants, with grand list of 20 million of dollars.

THE men who edited the springfield Re-

THE men who edited the Springfield Re- publican in 1850, including the Samuel Bowles, differed materially in belief with the present editors, especially with the writer of the following editorial paragraph, which appeared in the Republican of Dec. 9th:
 If enacted; says MT. Weeks of the Amer ican Manufacturer, the new tariff bill would be repealed just as soon as the next congress met, and nothing like 1t would be heard of in this generation Does he remember the fate that overlook the much lower tariff in 1846? The coun- try liked it so we'll that in 1857 another cut was made. This is a fact the cock sure Mckinley politicians will have to keep in mind.
 The young man who wrote this had no personal experience of the days of 1846, and his knowledge of the laws of business is that of the theorist. In 1850 Samuel Bowles, Samuel Bowles, Jr., and J. G. Holland, editors of the Republican, in common with nearly every prominent busi- ness man of Springfield, signed the fol- lowing memorial to congress, republished HI tAO OPlAISuC1O OH1Ou OI DtC. OOH
 The subscribers, inhabitants of the town of Springfield, in the county of Hampden and commonwealth of Massachusetts, would respectfully call the attention of congress to the situation of the industrial pursuits of the country in general, and more particularly in this place and it's vi- cinity, as affected by the operation of the tariff of 1846. Previous to the passageof that law the manufacturing and mechani- cal interests in this community were in g. fiourishing condition and all other classes were prosperous. Since that time the condition of things have entirely changed and it is fully believed that much of the stagnation of business may be traced to the operation of that law. Manufacturing languishes, mechanics are thrown out of | employ, business of all kinds is dull, and unless protection can be afforded to our laboring classes poverty will overtake @ them.
 The subscribers, therefore. pray that l congress will so alter the tariff of 1S46, as will protect the labor and capital of the country from foreign competition. ... l June 12, 1850.

In the giving Of letters OF introduction
permission should first be granted even
in the case of intimate friends, as the in
PRODUCTION of a person whom you do not
know thoroughly and well is attended
with danger iu many cases, and more
particularly when the presentation is
made by letter, as the written words al
ways appear to carry more weight with
them than the spoken ones, and the re
cipient of such an cpistle feels in duty

ings have resulted from unthinkine
good heartedness that prompted the let
ter without inducing II careful study of
the one to whom it was given.
Many letters of Introduction are pre-
sented in person, but the more elegant
way is TO send them by messenger or
post, accompanied by the card of the per-
son comforting the introduction and your
own with your address on it, A visit
should be made within week after the

THE CONSUL Ev4bED THE LAW.
As n Result Chan Chang Tseng's Certin-
cntes VIII be No Longer Accepted.

Gates Will Dc NO Longer Accepted.
NEW YORK, July 24-The treasury de-
partment at Washington has instructed
Collector Hendricks that hereafter the GER
tiflcate of the Chinese consul at this port,
Chan Chang Tseng, will not be received in
proof Of Identification Of any Chinaman
who has gone from this country to China
and wishes TO come in again.
To understand the force of this order
one must remember that no Chinese labor
cas- are admitted to this country under the
law, which also prohibits the return of
Chinese laborers formerly domesticated
here. Merchants and all others than Ia
borers coming for the first time to this
country must, under the law, have cer-
tilicate from the Chinese government GER
.tifying their standing. Those resident
here who desire to leave the United States
and return must provide themselves with
proof of their identity.
At this port the custom has been that
the Chinese consul gives merchant who
desires to go to China and return proof
of his standing. The consul has hereto
fore issued certificate over his official
seal, containing a minute description of
the merchant and other pertinent facts
The person and those who have identified
him then go to the Office Of the collector Of
this port, where the certificate is viewed
just MS passport would be.
Tho effect OF this new order, now made
public for the first time, will be that every
Chinese merchant who desires to go abroad
and return will have to do so at his own
risk, and will have to take the burden of
proof of his identity on himself.
The rest of the new order was that these
certificates had been perverted from their
legal purposes-had been used to evade
the very law that they were to enforce.
There can be little doubt that about two
hundred of these certificates were annually
carried by the Chinese consul to the
wcalthier merchants of this city, who
used them to enable such of their country
men as were debarred by the law to 20 to
China and t0 returD

Southernsrs to Aih wcsterners to Defeat
Unconditional Silver Repeal,


WAsnISGToN, July "a. - Congressman
who were most interested in defeating the
passage of the force bill, 1t is reported,
may aid their western colleagues in oppos.
ing the unconditional repeal of the Sher.
man silver bill. This state of affairs is
represented to have been brought fbout
by correspondence between western silver
senators and many southern senator's. II
is said that at the time the force bill was
before the senate the western silver sena.
tors bolted their party caucus to aid their
southern friends and resisted to the bitter
end all efforts to whip them into line"
that 1t was through their efforts, united
with those of the solid Democratic minor.
ity, led by Senator German, that the fight
against the force bill was successful, and
that much diplomacy was necessary to
gather sufficient strength from the Re.
publicans to defeat the force bill, and that
obligations were consequently then in
Cured which have since benefited the Re.
publican senator's who aided the Demo.
Gratis.
Tariff, silver and other questions were
at the time relegated to the background,
and every energy was put forth by the
southern people to prevent the passage OF
the force bill 1t $ cited that by a strange
coincidence the very Republican senators
from the west WHO helped to defeat the
force bill arc now tho most interested in
continuing the USE of silver as money, and
are calling upon The southern senator's to
help them to prevent action which they
believe will prove to be a calamity to the
business interests of their states.
A southern senator friendly to silver,
said today that htfelt very much like GO
ing TO the aid of his fellow senators in the
west on the principle that one good turn
deserves another. BY 50 doing he said that
he could repay an obligation that both he
and his people felt was due to those who
aided to defeat the Cursed force bill"
