MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1880. third of the total population of Pennsylvania according to the census returns of the present year. The proposed division would serve no good purpose, and might work great injury to our Commonwealth.

It would divide the common interest, break up State pride, give New York a greater advantage among the States, rob Pennsylvania of her second place in the Uniort and saddle upon the people of the western half heavy expenses for the privilege of autonomy. There would be two Republican members of the United States Senate gained, but as the upper House of the National Legislature will be controlled by the Republicans hereafter, there is not even a great partisan need for trying any such experiment as the one outlined here. THK THROWS 8 OF MUD. From the beginning of it along to its present stage the campaign against the Presidential candidate of the Republican party has been one of personal and political abuse, almost, if not quite, without a parallel in the history of politics. One infamous charge after another was and broadly published all over the land to influence the mind of the reputable citizen and the honest voter against General Gab field.

It was sought by his political opponents to destroy, within a few months, the honorable fame which he had been, through many years of laborious, useful service, slowly but surely building up in the minds of his countrymen, and they hesitated at no mendacity which promised to accomplish their object. They wanted to succeed, and to have their want gratified they have condescended to stoop to the lowest depths in defaming a reputation bo honorable aud elevated as to be part of the common fame of the country. The last of the efforts of the Opposition to injure the Republican candidate for President was the following letter, published on Wednesday last in a New York journal miscalled Truth: Personal and Confidential. HorwB or Represextativks, Washington, D. 0., Jan 23, 1880.

Dear Sir: Yours In relation to the Chinese problem came duly to hand. 1 take it that the question of employees Is only a question of private and corporate economy, and individuals or companies have the right to buy labor where they can get It cheapest. We have a treaty with the Chinese Government Which rhould be religiously kept until its provisions are abrogated by the action of the Genoral Government, and I am not prepared to say that it should be abrogated until our great manufacturing interests are conserved in the matter of labor. Very truly yours, J. A.

Gari-irU), Tliis invention of the enemy, for it has now leen established beyond question to be precisely that, was invented in order to stay theoverwhelmingtide of opposition to General Hancock which has arisen among the workingmen of the whole country in consequence of his free trade heresy. The Democrats saw by the light of the recent elections in Indiana, Ohio, Connecticut and New Jersey, that, unless they could turn the workingmen against General Garfield their cause would be utterly hopeless in November, and they knew of no other way so certain to consummate their pupose as to induce the workingmen to believe that the Republican candidate for President is favorable to the importation, use and competition by manufacturers and others of "Chinese cheap labor." As soon after its appearance as it was possible to obtain the denial of its authenticity by its reputed author, Chairman Jewell declared that he was authorized to pronounce it a forgery; but the organs and leaders of the Opposition who had been so busy in giving it widespread publicity declare that General Garfield himself had not and could not deny its genuineness. This they did in the belief that Gen. Garfield would not take notice of so impudent and mendacious a charge, and if it had affected only him, either personally or politically, he might have declined to honor it by giving it a public denial; but, as the representative leader of his party, the fortunes of which might be injured by his silence, he felt bound to speak, and he has done so with such emphasis and directness as to leave his unscrupulous mud-throwing enemies chin deep in the mire they had prepared for him to stand in. On Friday General Garfield telegraphed to Hon, Marshall Jewell, chairman of the Republican National Committee, as follows: Mk.ytor, Ohio, Oct.

23, 1880 To the Hon. M. Jewell aud the Hon, 8. W. Dorhky: I will not break the rule I have adopted by making public reply to campaign lies, but I authorize you to denounce the so-called Morey letter as a bald forgery both in Its language and sentiment.

Until its publication I never heard of the existence of the Employers' Union of Lynn. or of such a parson as H. L. Morey. J.

A. Garfield. And on Saturday he further telegraphed to Mr, Jewell the following: Mentor, Ohio, Oct. 23, 1830. -To the Hon.

Marshall Jewell: Your telegram of this afternoon Is received. Publish my despatch of last evening it you think best. Within the last hour the mail brought me the lithographic copy of the forged letter. It Is the work of some clumsy villain who cannot spell or write English, or imitate my handwriting. Every honest and manly Democrat In America who is familiar with my handwriting Will denounce the forgery at sight.

Put the cam In the hands of the ablest detectives at once, and hunt the rascal down. J. A. Garfield. Conclusive as these declarations are to every honorable mind, the Democratic organs of yesterday, determined not to admit their mendacity, but, to profit by it even when proved, insist that General Garfield's denial of the genuineness of the letter is evasive and unsatisfactory.

The simple assertion of General Garfield that the campaign lie wits a campaign lie would have been sufficient, but to that is now added the testimony of the post office authorities that the canceling stamp used upon it is an invention also, and that no such stamp was in use by the Post Office Department at the date of the alleged letter. Workingmen, whose votes this infamous invention was intended to influence against General Garfield, the friend of protection, should by their votes set their stamp of condemnation upon this last effort of the free traders to mislead them, The Peace Hegotlatloay. New Yobk, Oct 84 Mr. Ignaclo Garcia, charge d'affaires of Peru, announees that information has been received from Panama, via Kingston, by the Peruvian legation la this city, that the Peruvian Government has accepted the mediation of the United Btates after being notified that It had been accepted by Chill, and It has named Benor Arenas, President of the American Congress of Jurists and Vice President of the Council of State, and Captain Aurelie Garcia Garcia, of the Novi, ex-minister to Japan, to represent Para in the peace negotiations. Compact Between Colombia and Chili.

Panama, Oct 16. A. compact between the United Btates of Colombia and Chill bas just been signed, in which it is agreed to submit to arbitration all questions in dispute between the two republics. In case the arbitrators should not agree the matter Is to be referred to the President of the United States. 1 The questions or disputes referred to havearlseu out of the present war.

Chill claiming tba-, Colombia should not have permitted the transportation across the isthmus of munitions of war to Peru. It is stipulated in the csmpsot that all the other nations of America shall ba invited to become parties to it, so that in future all International disputes may be settled by arbitration, thus avoiding hereafter the possl tility of such another war as that now existing between Peru and Chill. The Embargoed Subvention. The Star and Herald of this morning publishes the official documents notifying the Panama Railroad Company of the etnoargo by the foreign oredltors of Colombia of the an nual subvention paid by the railroad com pany to this government. Mr.

Woods, the su perintendent of the railroad, has notified President Cervera as ageot of the National Government In this city, and also as President of the Btate of Panama, of the embargo, and informed him that he would make uo further payments on account of the subvention until the question Is definitely settled, and instructions are received from the President of the company in New York. The notice of embargo, and memorandum attached, is a very strong document, and is in substance as stated in the last letter to the Associated Press: The foreign debt of Colombia as reduced by the compromise of 1878 between this government and the bondholders amounts to some $10,000,000, bearing Interest at 4t percent, per annum, with a small sinking fund. The Government of Colombia having allowed tour successive quarters of the annual interest to ass unpaid, tbe bondholders claim that they ave the right to attach the revenues of the country pledged as security for the faithful payment of tbe same. The embargo has caused no little excitement in government circles here. Nicaragua Advlcss, The ship Phenelon, from Kogland, with rails and other material for the railroad arrived at Covin to, Nicaragua, on the 27th of September.

The line of the road between Chlaandega and Chichlgalpa; some eight miles, is graded and ready for the rails and the construction of the bridges on the route is being carried out. This work is under the supervision of Mr. D. B. H.

Myerstowr, Lebanon county, Oot. 83 At the United States Synod of the Reformed Church, on Thursday, the publication interests at Philadelphia received especial attention, and not a little earnest and spirited discussion was had.

In the evening Rev. David Van Borne, of Race Street Reformed Church, Philadelphia, preached a discourse on the sixth petition of the Lord's Prayer, "Lead us not Into temptation, but deliver as from evil." The meetings of this body are largely attended, and are of great Interest. Christian Church Convention. Louibvillk, Oct. 23.

The General Convention of the Christian Church closed its sessions to-day. Delegates were present from Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee, West Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Virginia, Dlstriot of Columbia, Canada, England and Australia. The report of the Rev. F. M.

Green, corresponding secretary, was encouraging. It appears from the report that the denomination numbers 600,000 communicants In the United Btates; that a large amount of money was expended in evangelization, and that large addition was gained to the church during the past year. The Rev. Isaac Errett, of Cincinnati, was re elected president of the Foreign Missionary Soolety, and Rev. Robert Moftett.

of Ohio, was elected president of the General Convention. The next annual meeting will be beld in Indianapolis. OBITUARY NOTES. Prominent Personages Oeeeased. Mibill (Slaughter, secretary to the share add loan department of the London Stock Exchange, is dead.

"Weather Indications for To-Day. For the Middle Atlantic State, clear or partly cloudy veather, northerly winds, becoming variable, higher temperature; in the northern portion higher, in the southern portion stationary or lower barometer There is good news from Newfoundland, to the effect that the authorities of that province are eager to effect a settlement of the long-vexing Fisheries question. The Governor of Newfoundland has appointed a Commission of most excellent character to take exhaustive testimony concerning the disturbances along the coast, which evidenoe he will as soon as completed transmit to the Imperial Government It is further stated that neither the authorities nor the better class of the people of Newfoundland sympathize with the wrongs perpetrated upon our fishermen, and that they are most anxious that the entente enrdiale shall be re-established between the United States and the province.

This implies a beginning at the right end of the matter; hitherto the United States have alone proceeded in it, and in such manner as not to prove altogether satisfactory. Indeed, almost the last act of the Beaconsfield Ministry was to snub our government as contemptuously as it could well be snubbed; our case was thrown out, and our representations treated as if of no value whatever. That should have ended the business through diplomatic channels, for if we were not prepared to fight about it, it was something worse than folly to invite another snubbing. When Newfoundland herself, however, moves in it, and show? a disposition to have the account between the two governments settled definitely, our government can very well afford, without loss of dignity or prestige, to receive proposals. If the Newfoundland authorities are in earnest, as they appear to be, all right; if they are not the Fisheries clause of the Washington treaty should be abrogated at the earliest Jossible moment.

Virginia politics were never in a more mixed condition than at present, and the result of the remarkable complications between the Funders, Readjusters and Republicans will probably not be settled definitely except by the official returns. The Northern people can" have very little sympathy with General Mahone and his whose aim is virtual repudiation of Virginia's indebtedness. The Funders are not only an honest set of voters, who are not only willing to pay the creditors of the State by submission to heavy burdens of taxation, but who are valorously fighting against the Readjusters for the privilege to do so. The objection against them, however, is a very strong one. They have practically disfranchised the poor colored Republicans by imposing a prohibitory poll tax, and while the Readjusters are wrong in their way the Funders are equally wrong in another way.

Even with the Democrats so hopelessly divided as they are, the chance of Republican success is not great, for, while the Republicans are not under any circumstances numerically strong, they are greatly weakened by the excessive poll tax, which will prevent a large proportion of them voting at all. The only likely chance for the Republican Presidential ticket in Virginia is that General Mahonk, whom the Democratic National Committee has just repudiated by recognizing the Funders, may, in his indignation at the snubbing received, turn over the Electoral vote of the State to General Garfield. He has it completely within his control, and while he has little reason to cast it for Hancock, he has excellent reason for casting it for Garfield. Men who have the power like to show they have it by using it, and General Mahonb's power in Virginia will be lightly estimated unless he uses it against his opponents. Workingmen who have not yet quite determined whether they will vote for the Presidential candidate whose administration will protect them in their prosperity, or for the one whose administration will take from them all such protection by throwing open our ports to free trade with Europe and subjecting them to foreign competition in their workshops, should carefully read and consider the following table, which shows what wages are paid to the workingmen of Belgium, a country where workingmen are as well paid as anywhere else in Europe: Wagt Occupations, per we.uk.

$4 40 Blacksmiths 4 40 Bricklayers 6 00 Cabinetmakers 4-80 Carpenters and Joiners 5 40 Laborers, porters, 3 00 Painters 4,20 Plasterers 5 40 Plumbers 0 00 This table does not emanate from any campaign committee, but from the State Department, and bears the official mark, Let it be also considered in connection with it that the cost of living in Belgium is rather higher than it is here, and, having considered both wages and cost of living, our workingmen should be able to decide promptly, and with a good deal of emphasis, that they will not vote for the candidate whose success would involve their great loss. This is not at all a question of politics, but of a common regard for the personal advantage of each individual voter. A Democrat need be none the less a Democrat if in this contest he decides to vote with the party that offers to defend him against the wages paid in the free trade countries of the Old World. If he thinks he would like to receive such wages, of course, he will vote the whole Democratic ticket, and if that ticket should be successful he will not be disappointed in receiving what he wants. Turning an iron-clad into a flour mill is the modern Russian version of the Biblical figure which speaks of beating swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks, It is an admirable idea, and the Russian Government deserves credit for suggesting it.

According to the semi-official Xovoe Vremya, that Power has been thinking of making steam flouring mills out of Admiral Ropoff's twin vessels in the Black Sea, and if that can be successfully accomplished it will be beneficial in two directions. It will help to work up the great wheat harvests of the Black Sea provinces at home and will make some return for the millions wasted on what are now confessed to be costly failures. If the Russian Government makes a successful experiment of this kind perhaps the other nations of Europe may be induced to follow its example and put to some practical use the millions of tons of war vessels now sailing idly up and down the ocean or lying inactive in their harbors. This is a utilitarian age, and almost everything is made to serve some useful purpose, but heretofore no attempt has been made to turn war vessels to practical I account in time of peace. There is proba Once more the subject of dividing the State of Pennsylvania is being agitated in the western part of the Commonwealth, but so far as public opinion can be discerned it is decidedly against the project.

The advocates of the scheme are politicians, and they propose to cut off twenty-eight of the counties lying west of a line running nearly north and south almost in the centre of the Commonwealth, which would give ample territory and a population ol persona, or about one-.
