THE WEATHERTo-day It will bo warm and partly cloudy in the morning followed by inereating eloudineee, rains, and probably light winds'. NO CROW EATEN HERE The Republican is fond of small wit ticisms. It says the Herald eats crow— that we are gulping down Butler. As we never joined In tbe abuse of Butler we are not called upon to chaDge our opinion. A movement Is not to be judged by Its leader, It is the principle Involved, and the object to be achieved by which It Is to live or die. Butler has been called to lead the working Democracy In a contest against the Russels, Greens, Whitneys, GastoD, Averys, et al. Who at bottom are domestic enemies, and who neither sympathize with or respect tbe masses, Indeed who are In conspiracy to rob them. He has accepted tbe call, and from present appearance be will smash the Re publican party to fragments, and cashier the false and flattering leaders of the Massa chusetts Democracy. We will give a sam ple of tbe legislation advocated by the Re publican party of that dtate, and assented t > by the Venetian wing of the Democracy There was a Stay Law proposed last year In the Legislature for the Savings Banks In Massachusetts, which would enable them to compel a depositor to give at least twelve months notice for his money before drawing It I Remember, there was no stay law ad vocated for other creditors. Let us illus trate the woikings of this law: Suppose a mechanic five years ago bad mortgaged his bouse worth 15,000 for 82,000, payable on tbe first day of October, 1878. As a pru dent man be would put all his surplus earn ings In some savings bank, so as to have U ready to pr.y bis mortgage when it became due. But, by the Stay law the Savings Banks won't pay his money possibly for three years, and his mortgage becoming due the 1st of October, would be foreclosed by his creditors, and be would lose his house. Is It any wonder that tbe people broke tbe ligatures of patty discipline, and called to their aid a Free Lance, as oppressed people have often done before, to help them In their rising against deep-seated wrong and domestic treason. No crow eaten here. YALVABZE immigration. Last night's telegrams from Washington tell us that according to accounts forwarded from Port Lamia, by tbe United States Consul there, that for the year ending June 30,1878,30,610 persons entered the United States from Canada to seek homes with us. Of this number 16,183 were Canadians from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. These Canadians were principally agricul turalists, carrying with them to their new homes their horses, wagons, agricultural Implements, household effects, and In a majority ol cases money enough to pur chase farms. Hence the Consul says the? may be regarded as a very valuable acquisi tion to the ranks of American Industry. Delaware has received many of tbe immi grants, and there la room for many more. Come on friends, you are welcome here.JJ There are hostile demonstrations against the English Missionaries in the Interior of Faklen Province, and destruction of life and property arc threatened. KEEP YOUR TEMPER. The report of the action of the Demo cratic Committee, which appeared In yes terday's Heeald, was made up from the data furnished by the Secretary, Mr. Bald' win. Mr. O'Byrne was appointed by the committee to examine the witnesses, their testimony was reduced to writing—this, with the Secretary's notes, was handed to Mr. Brown, the local reporter of the Heeald, who wrote the report for us. He gave them to one of the reporters of Every Evening, just as he received them, this gentleman promising positively to give them to the other papers. This It seems he did not do. The motion was made to exclude reporters because of the impropriety of permitting them to remain. The fact that specifications were stricken out as irrelevant In Mr. Dean's case, and the other papers in McWhorter's case, were not put upon the minutes, furnishes a sound argument for the argument for the enforcement of the rule to have the meetings private. Much that took place in the meeting was not pub lished in the Herald, as the public have no right to know it. Mr. O'Byrne told Mr. Singley and Mr. Humphries If they came back they would be furnished with any part of the proceedings the committee would permit to be published. MAINTAIN THE lAW. We are in favor of seeing every man obtain the highest wages the Industry be Is engaged In will bear so as to compensate capital and skillful direction, but we strongly censure such a man as Cohen, who yesterday headed gangs of men In Wash ington that threatened violence to every man working for less than 11.50 per day. A municipality which permits suck mob despotism must be rotten to the core, and ought to elect a dictator with the will> power and ability to crush such riotous anarchy at once and forever. .

PETER COOPER THINKS BUTLER MAY BE HAYES' SUCCESSOR. The venerable Peter Cooper has been In. terviewed to this effect: "How do you think this Maine election will affect Gen. Butler's chances t" "Gen. Butler Is sure to be elected as Gov ernor of Massachusetts, and will stand a very fair chance of being elected Presi dent. "But will not the National paity insist upon your reuomlnatlon 1" "I cannot consent to serve again. I only consented before because there was no other man to represent the principles; but, although I was willing then to endute the obloquy and the ridicule, I am too old now to undertake another campaign. I am in my eighty-eighth year, and half of that gone. On my last birthday, Mr. Fish, who came, showed me an almanac of the year I was born, and In that almanac the popula tion of New York was stated as 27,000. I have advocated the greenback principles thus far against much opposition, as you know, some of It from my own son and son in-law, who disagreed with my views. "Mr. Hewitt seems to be making a thorough investigation." "Yes; but he makes the mistake of having too much faith in the gold dollar as the standard of value by which to measure anything. Why, in Scotland they have had paper money good from time Immemorial, and It has been remarked : ' They never see a guinea.' " "Do you think resumption next January will be injurious.'' "It will be tbe greatest curse that could be lDillcted upon this country. It carries a great many evils with it In connection with the bank Bystem, and I almost wish I may not live to see It. Four years ago a dollar would not buy half the property In real estate that It will now. Personally I might be benefited In money by the ruin that would ensue to many by the resumption act, but for tbe good of the country at large I want that act repealed. What do you think has raised tbe circulation of the labor newspaper organ except that it Is founded on truth and justice." How about Dennis Kearney, Mr. Coop )> fi er?" "Well, I wish some one would advise him to leave out his harsh epithets. I think If be would do that he would have more In fluence. Calling hard names doesn't do any good. As an old friend of mine said, 'You can catch more flies with molasses than you can with vinegar.' " MILK AS A BEVERAGE. Lager beer promotes dropsy and ele, phantlasls. Wine stimulates gout and rheumatism. Whisky Induces Jim jams. Lemonade acidulates the stomach and weakens the powers of digestion. Ice cream Is multttudlnously ruinous. Stick to milk and mild tea. A Paris despatch to Reuter's Telegram Company says it Is rumored that M. Leon Say, Minister of Finance, will resign his office because bis views conflict with M. Gambetta's about the conversion of tbe 5 per cent, rentes. If M. Say resigns he will probably be appointed Governor of tbs Bank of France. * MEMORY WONDERS. A young lady In Makatra, Is said to be able to recite 18,000 verses of a Sanscrit poem. She will repeat any verse when the chapter and number are mentioned. This surpasses the German actor, who last win ter in Philadelphia, recited entire plays of Shakespeare. But all this is acquired by study. The most wonderful efforts of mem. ory are those which enable a person to re peat a speech or a poem after hearing It read once. A memorable Instance of this Is related to have taken place during the reign of Frederick the Great, before he quarrelled with Yoltalre. A "memory man" had been brought to him claiming the most wonderful powers. The same morn ing the King had agreed to give an audience to the French poet, who desired to read to his majesty a poem he had just composed, and dedicated to his royal highness. Fred erick ordered the memory man to secrete himself behind the window curtains when Voltaire arrived, promising to reward him if he really could repeat the poem about to be read, Voltaire came, made his obeisance and read his composition. The King said it was very line, but was not original. The poet became greatly enraged, and swore as only an excited Frenchman can. Fred erick repeated his opinion, and as proof of his statement offered to produce a man who would repeat thefjpoem entire. Thie the poet said was Impossible. The hidden man was called, and repeated the poem. Vol taire knowing some imposition had been practised upon him, but not belDg able to detect it, raged like a heathen, and tore up his manuscript. Explanations were then to ordei, and the soothed poet was Indebted to the memory man for a transcript of his verses. LOCAL AFFAIRS. M. S.R. A. The room of the Moral Suasion Reform Association was filled, last night, to over flow. H. W. Morrow presided. Addresses were made by Messrs. C. Cooper, Richard Burton, Jr., Sammons, Richardson, Stinson, Smedley and Rev. Mr. Young. The main attraction of the evening was the- fine sing ing of tbe Cathcan sisters, assisted by Messrs. Heald and Hill. Daring the even ing Miss Lydia Catbcart recited Gambler's Wife," In a touching manner. Frank Whelan recited " The Old War Horse," and Mr. Sammons gave one ot his jews-harp solos.

After some general business was transacted the following nomination were unanimously made: For Assessor of the Northern District— John White. For Assessor of the Southern district—B. B. Cooper. The meeting was then adjourntd, to meet on Wednesdry evening September 25th at 8 o'clock. HAND MASHED. William Wilson, living on Spruce street between Fourth and Fifth streets, employed by the P., W. & B. Railroad Company as a brakeman, bad his right hand badly mashed on Thursdsy night, by getting It caught between a shifting engine and a freight car at the Delaware Junction. Dr. Kane Is attending to his injuries* Mr. Wilson had the same hand nushed a year ago. SOCIETIES. MEETING THIS (SATURDAY) EVENING. Lenape tribe No. 6,1. O. R. M., in Maris Building.

The Second Ward Greenback Labor party will hold a meeting to-night at the Sunday Dispatch office, Second srreet between Wal nut and Poplar streets. The burning of several building near Fort Dodge, on the western border of Kansas, leads to the belief that some of the Chey ennes, who recently escaped from Indian Territory, have aet fire either to the prairie or the houses. The Indians have killed sev eral herders lately and stolen many horses. In a fight a lew days ago one or two Indians were killed and one soldier wounded. The troops fell back aad the Indians want the Northwest. on to l i PEOPLE'S COLUMN. be of by re It the he the to to of the to up his Henceforth we will give a column dally to correspondence upon any proper subject for discussion.

If fitness and competency should be con sidered when making (elections for var'oua positions, W. H. Quinn, should certainly receive a handsome and emphatic majority for Assessor in the Southern District, at the coming election in October. There 1* no on* we know of more eminently fitted for the very Important and rather arduous duties of this position than Is Mr. Quinn. Thoroughly acquainted, by long experience with the valuation of real estate! and pos sessing a general and extended acquaint ance throughout tbe entire district, tbe work of assessment entrusted in such bends could not fall to give universal satisfaction We trust that Mr. Quinn has, or will, allow, bis Dame to be used In this connection, for In such a case, tbe voters of the lower dis trlct could cast there ballots for e man thouroughly qualified for the position, one whose Interests are Identical with theirs, and whose only ambition would be to do h Is work honorably and satisfactory.
