The Morning Star. By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. - WILMINGTON, Jf. C. TrjKSDAT EVENING, AuGSUT .12,jl8.84 EVENING EDITION. CONVICTS AND FELONS." r It is said that the people in Au gusta, Maine, are very much amused at the present attitude of James G. Blaine as the great tail-wrinsrer of the British Lion. His whole past record is so 'utterly opposed to the claims setup for him now that his rieigh- bors and acquaintances in his State are forced to smile at the attempt to I fool the Irish and get up an excite- I ment that if elected he will take up ,the cause of Ireland and either free that country or pull out by the roots the tail of the British Lion. His ; 'jingo" policy when Secretary of State was in actual contradiction ta his letter. - 1 Now what is there in Blaine's life to justify any one in believing that I he has at heart the "welfare of Ire- J land or cares the snap of a finger for I Irishmen only so far as they5 can be beguiled into supporting him? Whilst .Secretary of State he did not raise his 'i finger 1o help Irishmen in the clutches' of the roaring Lion. But whilst editor,of the Kennebec Jour nal, when he had no political axe to grind, he did show very unmistaka bly what his real' " feelings were toward the Irish and Ireland. What did he say of the Irish then? Let an honest, independent, sensible Irish man read the following from Blaine's pen and then say that he can vote , for him and not surrender his self ; respect in doing so. Blaine wants . the Irish vote, and hence his love making and coquetting now. But read this: - "We need stringent laws to regulate the Irish immigration from Europe. ,-v If f the present abuses are not corrected, and 1 corrected speedily, we shall become worse than Botany Bay; in fact, we are worse now, for more Irish reach here in a single year than Were ever transported to the penal colonies in ten years. And these convicts and felons have hardly got our' dust upon their, feet before they are allowed ,to vote and control our elections. "And yet, with these facts plain as the ugut. ueraagogues win ten us mat our Jfiu . ropcan immigration is nothing but a bene- fit to us. We hope, and we sincerely be v lieve, that the day is not far distant when ; this whole subject will be impartially re viewed by the law-makinsr power.' and then r, the just and honorable pride of being an American citizen will suffer no blush from having our paternal rights bestowed'ia full : equality upon those who are not of our - Household. -r " .'

I SOME FIGURES TO THINK ABOUT. I :i A writer in the Philadelphia I American makes a careful calcula tion from year to year of the increase m population since Jane 1st, 1880. On November 1st,. 1884, ho estimates that, the population of the United States will be 57.712.377:: This is about correct, we take it. But his calculation includes Territories arid States. . The States alone will - have about 50,500,000. He estimates the vote will be over 1 0,407,000. But then the census of 1880 showed that there was four years ago an actual voting population males above 21 vears of age of 12.571.437. If the ratio of increase is preserved, then in November, 1884, there will be a vo ting population of 14,386,250. This shows what a large propor- tion of the people remain away from the polls do not vote. Nearly four millions (4,000,000) it is calculated will-fail to vote m the November election. There is then more than one pos sible voter to every four inhabitants. The proportion in France is even I orflitorthxn iha Tho Cto.ot.).nmn I Kcw- wumm va-a tut slsx uvw t v aavMW Voters might easily settlo tho qnes- tion of good or bad government. It is a great responsibility they assume when they say by their acts wo have no interests at stake and we do not care as to what becomes of the coun try. If the nearly four millions of non-electors would . exercise the right of franchise the cry "turn - the rascals out" would become a blessed reality. We say this because the evil minded and corrupt voters are sure to vote, whilst : those who re- - r . main from the polls have among them some of the best, purest but most modest and retiring men. In North Carolina there will be in No vember some 387,000 voters. In 1880 the total vote was 237,417; in 1882 it was 223,153. The vote in 1884 i - . - - will not exceed, we may suppose, S2Gu,ooo. it so, mere; win remain away from the polls 'approximately 125,000 voters. If this should hap: pen we may well believe that 100,- 000. men in North Carolina who pre fer Democratic -honest rule to Radi cal incompetency, wastefulness and nntaitntumess retusea to exercise the right of voting and to maintain good and economical government. i mi -m 'if i ' t n - ' me ingusn people ao not ; tavor the system of compelling students to Wet their lessons-at home, if we mav 7 , . t ' rn. -x - juuge uy a iegai uecisiou. xue xew i one iter am says: r R.Viw a -Rniui; isor rt,V w before it on appeal a case of assault bv a teacher on a pupil who had failed to learn - rtoin lessons that , wouloV have had to be studied at home.

Carl Schurz's Great Speech in Brooklyn. N. Y. NUMBER TWO. But Mr. Caldwell seems to have been a little hard of hearing in this respect. He may have thought that Mr. Blaine was neither a practical railroad man to help in building a road nor as useful a financier as a practical banker or Wall street man won Id have been in raising funds. He seems to have feared that Mr. Blaine might tarn out a deadhead in the enterprise after all, and that his "usefulness in various chauncls would not amount to much. And so for three months Mr. Blaine waited in vain for that "definite proposition' from Mr. Uald well which he had so urgently asked for. Mr. Blaine then evidently grew impatient at Mr. Caldwcll s obtuse ness, and wrote two more letters calculated to quicken his intelligence. 1 he llTSt WSS iOllOWS: More EpUtlea to Flataer. PersonaL. ' Augusta, Me., Oct. 4, 1869. My Dear Sir: I spoke to you a short time ago about a point of in terest to your railroad company that occurred at the last session of Con- gress. It was on the last night of the ses sion, when the bill renewing the land grant to tho State of Arkansas for the Little Rock road was reached, and Julian of Indiana, chairman of the public lands committee, and, by right, entitled to the floor, attempted to put on the bill, as an amendment; to the b remont HA Paso scheme a scheme probably well known to Mr. Caldwell. The house was thin, and the lobby in the Fremont interest had the- thing all set np, and Julian's amendment was likely to prevail if brought to a vote. Roots and. other members from Arkansas, who were doing their best for their own bill (to wmcii mere seemeu to ue uo ODjec Ifon), were in despair. for it was well known that the Senate was hostile to the Fremont scheme, and if the Arkansas bill had gone back to the Senate with Julian's amendment, the Whole thing would have gone on the table and slept the sleep of death. I In this dilemma Roots came to me to know what on earth he could do under the rules, for he said it was vital to his constituents that the bill should pass. I told him that Julian's amenament was entirely out or or iier, because not germane; but he had not sufficient confidence in. his I knwlege th rules to make the bt Gcn- Lgan was opposed I P ln0 Li remont scheme, and would probably make the point. I sent my I page to en. Logan with the suggea- I tion, and he at once made the point. 1 11 could not da otherwise than sustain 1 it., and so the bill was freed from the niischievbaa "menaeiri6vea by I fTis a '7-.' a I f P i "imum I objection.- J. th , --Ai n l At that time I had. never seen; Mf; n.lJm.ll kAi k.t.Tl t!'-ii if.

Kind regards to Mrs. Fisher. . Sincerely, J.. I. Blaise. . . j W. Fisiier, Jr. , , , " Now Mr. Caldwell may have been very , slow ot apprehension. But these two letters (f r they were evi dently addressed to him through Mr. Fisher) were certainly clear enough to remind that Mr. Blaine was some thing more than a mere railroad man or a Wall street financier; that, in fact he was Speaker of the House of Representatives. They told him very pointedly, that Mr. Blaine, as Speak er, had done him a great favor al though he had done it ; "without knowing him," and in a correct way but a j favor which, was of great value to the company. And it was oertainly not the fault of Mr. Blaine's letters if Mr. Caldwell did not under stand that the Speaker of ' the House, who could do such favors "without knowing it," might do equal and still greater favors while knowing ii; and that, therefore, Mr, Blaine as Speaker; had -more, various channels in which to make himself useful, and to prove a live-head in this land grant railroad entei prise, than a mere railroad builder or a mere Wall street financier. And writing two letters on the same subject in one day, Mr. Blaine showed himself dreadfully in earnest in pounding clear notions of the Speaker's oppor tunities for usefulness into Mr. Cald well's head, in order to induce that gentleman to give at last to Speaker Blame that interest in tho railroad enterprise which the Speaker insisted upon having. ; Mr. Blaine's friends dislike greatly to be brought face to face with these letters, j They cannot deny their gen uineness, and they CANNOT EXPLAIN TFIEM AWAY. Some of them content' themselves with the general remark that after all they were such as the: Speaker of tho House would have no reason to be ashamed of. And then they at once change the subject and speak of the tariff. The act is that Mr. Blaine did see reason for being ex tremely! anxious that they should not become known. He certainly did not consider them innocent. But they did become known in a very peculiar way. I- i Mr. James Mulligan, who had been the bookkeeper of Mr, Fisher, having been summoned, to testify before the investigating committee, brought these letters among others with him to Washington. This he did with Mr. Fisher's consent. As soon as Mr. Blaine heard of the letters he called upon Mr. Mulligan, and the meeting was a very curious one. Mr. Mulligan, the next day, described it to the committee under oath. Jle swore that Mr. Blaine had come to him and implored him most piteous ly to give him those letters there were fifteen of them in all; that Mr. Blaine almost went on his knees, say ing, if the committee got hold of these papers it would ruin him and sink him forever; that Mr. Blaine had talked even of suicide and made an appeal in behalf of his wife and his six children, and .that then he opened to him (Mulligan) the pros pect of a consulship abroad; that Mn Blaine, finally, wanted at least to be permitted to look at the letters, which Mulligan did permit him to do on condition that he would return them; that Mr. Blaine did return them and then wanted to look., at them, again and then refused to give them back, and against Mr. Mulligan's protest 1 .1. - ... t .

The New York Times says'that written documents, now in possession of the Nvy Depart ment, Washington, add to the record of the miserable human suffering,-already pub lished, in. connection with the finding of the Greely expedition, the most shocking stories of. inhumanity and cannibalism. Then, iollows a lone account of how the ' Qreoly party, crazed by hunger and cold. ate the flesh' of their. dead comrades; and that one of their number,' private Henry, was shot for eating more than his share and his body eaten. The story was shown to Admiral Nichols, acting Secretary of the Navy. He said that there were no records at the Navy Department that would give a shadow of coloring for such a story, and he did not believe it was true. FINANCIAL.
