The Evening Journal favors the public with {he editotial annonccement that the result of - elections on Tuesday has produced ease in the money market, in place of the tnplessant stringency previously prevailing. We sincerely *~, » that some indirect good msy come out of i#t;but the Journal's money article ssys that ‘there ars no migns of esse yot. Either the “blasted pork-packers are carrying off all the igreenbacks, or there is stifl rome danger of I Greeley's election. ' We veceived orders for 36,000 copies of yos- & erday's TRIBUXE, of which we were able o sup- Iy cnly 28,000, in consequence of del2ys attend- ;:iing the operation of our new mischinery at its - irst starting. We ehall be able hereafter to §II Al orders promyly. ‘We ehall prict to-day another edition of our %nmun: eheet couiaioing dhe history of - Chicago before, during, and afterthe Fire. They will be resdy for delivery at our counting-room on Cansl street to-morrow morning, at Fhich placa orders should be sent. The refusal of the Spanish Cortes o consider the amendment abolishing slavery, hsa no_sig- nificanco whatever in reference ‘to. the emanci- pation movement. It decides only 2 point of parlismentary Isw. When the address of the King was proeented fo the Cortes, an amend- mentdo it was offercd concerning the aboli- tion of slavery, and the vote of the Cortes me=ns nothing more than that this question cannot be brought before it in that manner. Every day brings greater strength to the eman- cipation movement, and the Republic grows in favor at the same time, for beneath the two movements there is one sentiment. As 5n appendix to the bulletin of the balanees in the Treasury, there coines n complacent state- ment that the Trossury is highly pleased with the effect wnpon the business of the country of its recent Wall street operations in gold and ourrency. I for no other reason, Secretary Boutwell shionlé felicitate himself that his juggling with the gold market has not prodnced another such disaster as Black Fridsy. -A Secretary of the Treasury who, in one week, . twico violates the pledge given to the business of the_couniry by ‘his last monthly ennouncement, may be pleased himself with the result of his opesations, but will find fow business men to sgreo with him. People have got accustomed, during the prog- Tess of the canvass, to the frequent fights be- twween the negroos of opposing partics, but few would expect to hear of a bloody affray cansed by political discussion between two ns=groes of the ssme pariy. This scers to havo boen the nature of the eccounter at St. Lounis between Mr. Turner, our Liberisn Mine ister, and his friend Medley, who was finally compelled to resort to the knife in’ order to oonvince his erring brother. Public curiosity will be deeply excitod to learn the cause of their variance. Both the disputants are supporters of General Grant, and, perhaps, conld not be ex- pected to practice peace and reconciliation even in their own party. A careful countof the Liberal Republican voters of Indiana, mnde by the State Courmittes a faw days before the election, shows that they went into tha election with 8,000 Republican votes sure for Hendricks. This should have made 16,000 difference in the connt as compared with the vote of 1870, in which the Democrats alone carried the Btate by over 2,000. Against this total of 18,000 thers existed a legitimate offset of 5,000 colored Be- publican votes never cast befors. How are wo to acconnt for the dissppearsnce of the 13,000 surplus still left after deducting thecolorsd vote? However it is to be accounted for, let it be remembered, if Hendricks is defeated, that it was mot for want of Liberal Bepublican votes. King Amadens must begin to think it rather a bard year for Kings. Except the new King of Sweden, there is probably no monarch of Europe who is so affable in his deportment and who affacts eo little of royal statein his intercourse ‘with his subjects as Amadeus, who often walks the streets and drops into the eafes like sny pri- vate citizen. He hes, for all this, utterly failed, spparently, to win the popular heart. Dunng a recent tour throngh his domin- jons, he was tald st Valladolid, Torrelavega, and Santander that, while he was admitted to the municipal hospitality, he mnst distinctly under- stand thst the people of those commaunities ‘were in favar of tho Bepublic. And now, while quietly walking in the Pleza del Oriente, he has been attacked by two despersdoes, who stoned bim in the name of the Republic. 1In the advertising co'umns of Tz TRIBUSE, yesterdsy morning, the reader will not have failed to recognize the familiar names of nearly 21l the merchants who were doing business here before the fire. That circamstance significantly tells the story of the recuperation of trade. Not- withstanding the occurrence of calamity soun- precedented, there ars but few names on the roll of our merchants & year sgo that are not to be found in active business to-dsy. The num- ber of thoss who from all causea have dropped out doea not exceed the ordinary suspensions and changes which occur annuslly among an equal number of mercantile houses in any community. Thers have been additions, and numerons ones, to the list of Chicago mer- chants, but the old houses, whose name and credit are known through the country, have come out of the fire with energy unconguared, with capacity unlessened, and with a business Iargely incressed. The commercial body of Chi- cago, thongh extensively recrunited by new and energetic men, still boasts the veterans who met the enemy of Octaber, 1371, and have come out of the contest victorions. ‘We announced, some time eince, that Tae CmrcaGo TaIPUXE would hereafter be indepond- ent of parties and politicians, and would be the organ of nobody except of its own conductors, and of the people who give it their support. We recognize the fact that the affairs of republi- can Government can be conducted only through parties, and that thero must always be a choice among parties and candidates. Hence, an atti- tude of independence does not imply nentrality. ‘We have positive opinions upon National and local affairs which we shall always seek to make affectivo; but wa cannot be called upon to in- dorse measures and cand’ Iates thatare noten- titled to support merely because o political con- vention has indorsed them. Therefore wes say, as plainly aa possible, thst the recently- nominated (or balf-nominated) Liberal ticket for county officers is not satiafactory to the bet- ter class of citizens, and that it does not repro- sent the type of intelligence and charscter which it onght to represent, and that, whils it presents some excelient names, it also presents gome g0 objectionable that it cannot receive onr support as a whole. It is quite posaible for the Liberals to carry this city and county by as de- dsive a msjority as Cincinnati was carried on Tuesdsylast; tmtto do this requires s ticket in which the public may justly repose confidence. The county ticket nominated by the Liberal and Democratioc Conventions, on Monday Iast, contained several unwise eelections, such as could not and ooght not to be ratified at the polls. Mr. Thomas Moran, who was nominsted for Prosecuting Attorney, and against whom there was no objection, personal or professional, in a letter the day after the Convention, declined the nomination. 'This, of course, necessitates a general revision and adjustment of the ticket. Yesterday the County Committees met toar- range the matter, and as a preliminary appointed a sub-committes to receive the resignations of all the nominees, that there msy be an amicable and satisfectory resrrangement of the ticket. Of course, all the candidates who want to have .| the ticket elected will promptly place it in the power of the Committes to make whatever ar- rangements may be deemed best. The present ticket is certainly not such a one as we can sup- port, Becsuse the other sido put in nomina- Hon a list of men who ought not to be elected, it does not follow that the Liberals should follow the example. This is no time for complimentary nominations. If the Liberals cannot present a list of unexceptionable candi- dates, then it were better to present none. The letter of Mr. Moran, who is a gentleman of high personsl and professional respectability, is honorable to himself, and indicates the spirit which ehould govern all candidates. He did not seek the nomination, and, though he would have received an undivided support, he promptly ‘withdrew, that the whole ticket might be revised and strengthened. i The Philadelphis Ledger1s a marvel of jomr- nalistic success; andits proprietor, Mr. Georgd W. Childs, is one of the: self-elected princes of America. The Zedger has reached an aversge daily circulation of 83,000 copies, and its adver- tising receipts are in the neighborhood of £400,- 000 per annum. Fhe success of the Zedger has ofien been a marvel to newspaper men, 35 it never meddles with politics, or any other excit- ing questions, but confines itaelf to news, finance, and soclal topics exclusively, in all’ Which, and especially in its money articles, it is excellent. The Zedger building is one of the largest and most imporing edifices in the coun- try, and in iis interior arrangements is perhaps the most complete printing-offios in the world. THE PARTY OF THE FUTURE Truth is eternal. Neither defeat nor victory can add to or take from it. Thoagh all mankind reject it, the truth must ever stand firm, and in the end be trrumphant. d The Cincinnati Convention placed, in the form of a declaration, a statement af the actual con- dition of publicaffairs, andan emphatic sseer- tion of the trne constitutional policy of the Government. Thers was not sn honest and in- telligent man in all the brosd land wko did not, and who will not now admit, thatthe declaration made at Cincinnati was trus to the letter, was trath in fact, trath in principle. Against that declaration there has been hardly & voice raised; its accusations have been admitted and con- firmed, and its principles oconceded to be im- pregnable. In eupport of that declaration, the best and purest men of the country, without referance to former party afiliations, have united,—Demo- crat with Bepublican. Against it have united thonsands of men, equally honest and intelli- gent, who have considered themselves wnder some sacred ohligation to adhere to party com- mands. Money and offices being ranged wholly on the side of the party in power, the me-cenary bands of American pelitics have flocked to that standard. The men who hold and control the monsy.of the Government have offered to hire the votes of these mercenaries, and the latier have taken the money and voted for their em- ployers. The election in the Gity of Phila- delphia will stand forever a disgrace to thatcity, to the State, and to the Nation. It is the first time in the history of the conntry that there was an open and ackmowlodged gale and jurchase of perhaps 25000 votes. There is mot even & denial of the shameloss and wholesale profligacy. The victory in Pennsylvania has, we fear, in- anguratod a netr system in political machinery, system in which money connts for more than principle, and in which the means are made al- ‘together subardinate to the end. The union in Philadelphia of all the purchassble voters in the ocountry, of the worst specimens of the repest ers, ballot-box stuffers, and forsworn Inspect- ors of Election, together with the honest but ig- norant maes of the colored people, would be alarming ad to the probable fature of the coun- try wereitnot that the ominous conjunction will, in time, awaken public attention to the national peril, and eventually unite the common intelligence and integrity of tho country against corruption, crime, and ignorance. Though the Liberal candidstes bavo been rejected, under the excitement of a Preeidential election, by the people of Pennsylvanis aac Okio in 1872, the cooler judgment of the people of those Biates will lead them irresietibly into a hearty oo-operation with all others equally honest and intelligent, and, in 1876, the State which has alected Hartrantt, the confoderate of Yerkes, will wipe ont, so far 28 practicable, the recent terrible disgrace. Though defeated now, the Liberal party is the coming power. Though overwhelmed for the present, it is the means destined in the next four years to rescue the Government, the conn- try, and public liberty from the dangers and perils that now threaten them. e THE BOAERD OF TRADE REEOVAL. The Board of Trade on yesterday took formal possession of ita new and clegant hall, and ob- served the occazion 28 one of a festival charac- ter, with procession, music, and congratulatory speeches. The new structurs is a year'swork well done, snd the Board has a home and abid- ing place of which it may feel proud, both in its intrinsic massiveness and elegance, and in com- ‘parison with other commercial buildings of s. similar character throughout the conntry. The work does credit to its energy and enterprise, and architecturally reflects credit upon the new city. It will be a matter for still farther congratulation if it ehall be found, when the Board is permanently installed in its new quar- ters, and is in complete Tunning order, that it 'has left certain accompaniments of business in the old Market street ‘ark,” such aa “‘ corners,” wild speculations, rings, and other illegitimate oontrivances for the conduct of business. The Board holds a place of high responsibility. It wields a tremendous infiuence, which affects not only the ordinary channels of trade, but the prices of daily living. Itisthe grest regulator 2nd manipulator of the products which the West sends in exchange for those of the East, and it can make its influence felt in sl the grain markets of _the world as well as in the emallest farmer's cabin. It will condues directly to the prosperity of the new city sa well as to its own standing, if, from to-dsy onwards, it determines that there ghall be no more recognized gambling in grain ar other products of the West, or any ring con- apiracies to forestall the markets and operate to the public detriment. No opportunity should e allowed in the future for a repetition of the ring scandsls, like the recent oats and wheat comners. However disastrons such attempts may be personally to those engaged in them, or however inconsiderate it may be to preeume to control the produce capacities of tho Great West, the infiuences of such operations are not con- fined to those immediately engaged in them. They affect the standing of the whale Board at home and abroad, and give the impression that business is conducted here in a loose, reckless, and speculativo manner. We are glad to know that this point was tonched Tpon by the President of the Chamber of Com- merce, in delivering the building to the Board; and that the Vice President of the Board, in reply, gave assurances that any attempts to Dblock the wheels of commerce wonld be sup- pressed. It is » pledge worth the keeping. Meanwhile, we congratulate the Board mpon the energy with which the work has been prose- cuted, the good taste which has Leen exhibited in its construction, aad the happy resalts which . have crowned their year's labor. SOME THINGS WHICH OUGHT TO HAPPEN, Those who have done their wholo duty in s faithfal endeavor to rescue the country from the evils of Grantism can now watch with undis- tarbed consciences the further development of this new element in our National affairs. They will naturally expect the Grant party to carry ont the principles underlying their position in this campaign. ~ Senators and members of Con- gress will vote in obédience to Grant’s dictation, and, if they have s majority, they will buy what- ever isla".ds the members of his staff may desire to annex. When, by a long course of bullying and corruption, Congressmen are at lsst made to vote as the President chooses to have them, Congress will have become superfluons, and as a. measure of economy, to save their salaries, the President should send them home and yun the Government alone. The Federal Government having taken charge of the business of protecting the life, liberty, a0d pr of every person in the South, it ghould provide local criminal and civil conrts, in each town and connty in every State, eufficient to decide all civil Litigations and criminal com- plaints, thus superseding the machinery of the State Governwents, and greatly simplifying our institations by merging the thirty-seven States into one. The propriety of giving office to relatives be- ing established, Congress should cauee s genea~ logical chart of the ruling families, and of all families collaterally related to them, to be pre- —— pared and filed, in order that all appolntments o offico may be made in exact order, according to the degres of relationship which can be s shown to exist botween the applicant and the ‘President. A complete system of Civil Bervica Beform could thus bo perfected, according to which 65,000 office-holders might be obtatned without golng further from the chief of the family than to the tonth-cousinships on both sides, with their affinities. * The propriety of rewarding with offic those who have made gifts o the President having been vindicated in Parmsylvania, it would now be in order to put up the leading officos, espo- cially the forsign missions, Cabinet offices and the GoBectorship at Now York, at public auction to the highest biddder, one-half the price to'go to the President and the other into the Treasury. This seems to be the only way in which the peo- ple can get auy value out of their ofices. The propriety of giving Colonel Leet the power to plunder the merchants of New York at his own sweet will being now setat rest, it wonld fol- low that other membors of the President’s staff ought all to beve openings made for them in our sesports on such terms as would enablo a young man ‘of ressonable economy and diligence to make $100,000 & yoar. . The propriety of rataining in office the indors- &rs of the Chorpenning and Secor claims, Cres- well and Robeson. boing now vindicated by the frauds in Philadelphia, it would follow that Creswell's order psying that clsim out of the Treasury ought now to bo obgyed, and the order of Congress conflioting therewith should be removed. The propriefy of paying $1,900,000 more to the Syndicate for negotisting a loan than Congress had sathorized heving been established in Penn- sylvanis, it remains to consider Mr. Boutwell as the mole judge of what ehall be dove with the money in the Treasury. Thia verdict of the ballot-stuffers is rendered atill more impressive by the fact that it inclades also a camplete indorsemens of the payment by Bout- woll of §250,000 per year for the expanses of runcing, nominally, the United States Conrt, but roally the political campaign in North Carolins, and 875,000 peid for the purchase of Rabel recards. It greatly simplifies the managemont of the financea to declaro thus clearly that the ‘money in the Treasury belongs to the Secretary, and that Congress and thepoople have no fur- ther interest in it. These are some of the things which ought log- ically to happen. But we hope that the foros of public opinion may be brought to bear upon the doménant party with such imperious power that it shall be impossible to repeat the scandals of the past four years; for, whatover may be the outward appearancs of things, a majority of the people do not spprove of General Grant's style of civil administration ; nor of the Cameron and Morkon claes of politiciana. THE MANUFACITRES OF CHICAGO, Ta our review of the business of the year fol- lowiag the fire, thers was n statement of the comparntive business of cerfain branches of manafactures, and it is possible that there may be some porsons who will conclade that that branch of industry in the city is limited to the particular items mentioned. The resumn em- braces the following : 18,670,000, 3,000,000 creazed in the same ratio, we shall Dbave s total of $103,470,000, without bufldings, or an increass of 3465 per cent. Neither of theeo tables include the buildings erocted, nor do thoy include the manufacturs of paints, oils, lead pipe, tin and sheet iron wares, plated ware, wooden ware, wire goods, cutlery, or of marble and other stone. There are several other branches of munufac- ture which have been begun, or have put on new aotivity within the year, in this city and its suburbe. In the neighborhood of Chicago, and within & few miles’ travel, there have been-com- ‘menced cotton and woollen mills and a vasiety of other manufactures, the market for whick is, of course, in Chicago. This is to be the centrral point, the market-place, and the country around us the workshop. There are already a score of villages and towns rapidly filling np with people engsged in thess estab- lishments, whoes entire production will become part of the traffic of Chicago. As = distributing point, this city is withont an equal in the West: All roads lesd to Chicago. Greswt 88 is our trade in breadstuffs, and provisions, and in all the wares and merchandise of general commerce, the city will rapidly become equallyr noted 5 3 manufscturing poimt, not in any ono particalar branch, but in the largest variety. Hereafter, in the annual report of sales in Chicago, the tranesctions in Chicago manu- factared goods will assume proportions that will be in kecping with all other branches of her commerce. ; 700 MUCH POLITICS. It is never well for a man to give himself up to the contemplation of one and the same object | uninterraptedly. Instances haro becn known where such concentrated devotion has been at- tonded with dizastrous results. A music-mad student once attempted to assssalnate Bosaini becsuse he introduced the drms in tho overture to La Gazza Ladra. Darwin has followed acience #0 closely that he bas reduced all mankindto the simian level. People hava dwelteo long and ro profoundly upon religious topics that they have gone daft, and imagined themslves enjoying celestial pleasures or infernal torments. hat is true of mausic, science, and religion is equally true of politics. It iv not well for a man to put his whole mind on saving the country without occasional relsxation. If he does, it is morally certain that he will come to believe himself indispenssble to the happi- ness of the great American people, which he is not. There is' just now a good opportunity for a little recrestion,—to take a small sum of money and go West, or refresh one's self in angling pursuits by purling brooks. Recent events in Pannsylvania, Ouio, and Nebrasks have tended to wonderfully lighten political duties, and obviate the necestity for keeping the eagle screaming in au nnnecessarily lond tone of voice. Many of our friends and readers have been un- interruptedly engaged, since lsst May, in setting tidal waves in motion, getting the prairies in a blaze, and kindling tho beacon fires on tha hills of liberty, and are now from morning until night pursuing distracted columns of figures,—figures positive, negative, and comparative, with tha view of keeping the tidal waves rolling, the prairie fires blazing, and the beacon fires burn- ing. Bo much political and mathe- matical work combined is mnot healthy either for mind or body, and does not conduce to that cheerfulness of temper and sunny dis- position which every one ought to exhibit at all times. Such close, confining work is unnessary for the individual and unjust to the family. There are certain social obligations which every man ought taregard. There are duties to the household which should not be neglected. There are church obligztions of pressing importanca. ‘We fear that some of theee, during the past few months, have been disregarded” at {imes. This should not be. We doubt not Mr. Greeley himeelf, with that calm wisdom and homely prudsace which hias always characterized . Ely, Pero Hyacinthe, *Schultze, Korveliua, Huber, and Friedrich, but him, wonld connsel divarsion from snch distract- ing duties. There are marty things which might usefully engage thoso who are fatigued with the national political duties. Barnum's great moaral show, with its lean men and fat women, its living skel- otons, and cannibal Fijis, its classical atatuary, and threo-legged calves ; the recent adventures of Stanley st Tiiji; the effect of sun spots on temperature; the Theodore Thomas concerts; the Woman's Righta question; the study of art as developed by the cuts in onr last issue; thio rme and decay 'of base ball; the rebuilding of Chicago; “the Sunday saloon question, etc., eto. All these afford nice tliemes for study. They might be inter- sporsed with - light reading and gentle physical exercise. Wi only offer these as suggestions in general. Each man can fix upon those pursnits most congenl {o his'tastes. Butof the abso- lute noceselty for rest and recreation from these fatiguing political duties there is no question. It is a grent mistake, the impression some peo- plokave, that there is nothing but politica in this great and beautiful world. It is full of .amusements and pleasures of every sort, which mover pall upon the sppetite. They.can be fol- lowed without temptations to profanity or mel- anchdly. Thefeisa time for all things, but all time i8 not for one thing. © - THE OLD CATEOLICS. The latest reports which come from Cologne, where tho second Congress of Old Catholics is .now in soasion, are mot.of a favorable com- ‘plexion for tho success of the new movement. ‘The Congross exabraces some delegates of great ability, each a8 the Janzenist Archbishop of Uirecht, the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln and and Drs. Doellinger, there is evidently a want of homogeneity in the Congress, n want of followera in Germany, and, consequently, a want of monoy, without which not even spiritanl revolutions can be accom- plished. The Old Catholics, who still claim to ‘be Catholics, have mass said for them each *dsy, while a portion of the delegutes, who are ‘Protestants, have specisl Protestant service, and this dissimilarity sooms to ran throngh the whole movement in_ varicus ways, and prevents concert of purpossorof sction. “First, in the following of the new movement, thaore is apparently s very serious embarrass- ment. The firet Congress was held at Munich st yoar, and it was expocted that, before the nteating of the second Congress, thousands of priessts in Germany would identify themselves with tho movomoat, but it is stated that the en- tires number of pricsts within the Old Oatholic org snizstion In Germany is only seventeon. In Bay aris, whers it washoped therevolution would gairt the firmest fosting, it doss mot seem to bav.s made any headway at all, the Bavariana not talding kindly to the innovations made by the reformers. With so small s constituency, the ebslacles against which - they are com- pelled to Isbor are both numerous and sericus, - and do not furnish s very cheerful outlook for the coming year. Mortsy, which iathe mainspring of reformations, as woll es of businoss, seems to be bsolutely wantfing. Money being wanting, of oourse, churehes sze wanting. The expectation that the Govamment, which sympuathizes with the move- mont to a great extent, would provide them with <hureh property, has not -bean realized in any practical way, one or two littls chapels being the sum toal of favors which they have obtained st Barlin. The most disconraging feature of the achin is schism in the party {taclt. Hyacinthe, Frohichammer, Anton, snd others advocato compilets withdrawal from the Church of Bome and the foundation of s new Church, while the Munich _lesders insist upon preserving connection with the Roman Church, and ourrying on the reform within the Church Yine. The Anglican Bishops themselves are also dividedin opinion. The Bishop of Lincoln, who in & Roman Catholis, In all respocts, except in maintaining the dogma of infalibility, takes sides with Hyacinthe and the othem, while Dean Stanley agrees with the Munich Reform- ers. The schism is & sarions one, 80 serious in fact that the Munich clique hss already seized upon tho recent marriage of Hyacinthe a3 good cause for excommunication. A corre- spondent writing from Cologne states that the Congress will ask the Governments of Germany, Austris, and Switzerland to recognize the Old Catholics as constituting the Catholic Church in Germany, and give them the protection of tha Btate In the presemt sttitude of the OId Catholics, it is extremely doubtful whether such a resolution will have any effect. The policy of tho Government has ‘been to maintain the supremsacy of the State and its independence of the Church, and on this bazis the Jesuits were oxpe lled, the reasons alleged being their interferenco with affairs of State. There is very little reason to expect that the Emperor and Bismarck will assume the caro of a new Church, with all their other responsi- bilities of State, which are just now of no ordi- nary character, unless it can be demonstrated that' the new Church will conduce to the security and pormanence of - the Pmpire. A Church party, however, which is divided pgainst itself at the very outset of a religious revolution, is hardly in a position to make any guarantees for the fature, and, instead of being an upholder of or contributor to'the welfare of the German Empire, it is much mors likely to become & ponsioner npon it. The re- form haa evidently made o bad start. Thers are 00 manj reformers of too many opinions to ac- complish anything agalnst a Church which is & it in purpose and work. Tpon an appeal from the decisionsof the Examioer of Trade-DMarks, Actiong Commis- sioner Thatcher has given s decition in acaze involving the use of Masonic emblems 258 trade-mark. The giat of his decision is that it is impoasible to divest Masonic symbols of thoir ordinary significance; and, therefors, as trade- marks, they muost constantly work deception. ‘The Commissioner saya: .

The particulsr case was that of Jobn F. Tolle, of St. Lonis, who applied for the registration of these symbols as trade-marks apon his Sour-barrels. - The verdict of a jury in the Assize Court of the Gironde shows thit ‘religiona liberty is be- coming more than a name in France. A Protes- tant clergyman, M. Bteog, was bronght to trial for publishing ontragecus atiacks upon Roman Catholicism. The law forbids “insult;” and a Court has defined “‘insult " as *‘any words that conld shock the heart and conscience of a be- Mever.” Under this definition, AL Steeg's guilt was clear. His treatment of the dogma of transabstantistion was of the coarsest and most viralent kind. The fact that the definition is absurd, insamuch a5 even & simple profession of disbelief in some dogms,—for instance, that of the miraculous birth of Christ,—would * shock ” a believer, seems o hava saved M. Stoeg. Per- haps, however, it wes the Iatter's elo- quence,—perchance his lack of eloquonce. The accused clergyman spoke for two houss in his own defence, relying mainly upon the “you're another” style of argument. Thushe quoted from M. Anguste Nicolas, whose “mod- eration” had been solemnly. spproved by the ‘Archbishop of the Diocess, a pleasant passage setting forth that “ the Devil was the first Prot- estant.” Galignani declares that Judge, jury, snd spectators were spg ) bound by M, Bieeg's eloquence; other suthorities rather decry his effort. When he finished, the jury, either be- cause they were convinced, or because they were tirod out and fearfal of his be- gibning sgain, hastened to bring in a verdict of not guilty — tho Liieral nomination for Governor of Msssa. ‘chusetts). is expected to arrive from Enrope'n = few dsys, Wwhon the State Committes will sulect 8 new can didato, probably Francis W.

No Gre ok nowspaper in Boston has yek print- The English press is crying out against the repudiation of. part of the Georgia Siato debs, and the Frankfort Stock Exchange has decided to exclude Georgis securities from its share-list. Repudiation is 2 hateful, fenrfal resource; but, ‘when paymont is sheer impossibility, what is to bedone? It is absurd tosupposo that North Carolina, for instance, whose entire revenues do not equal the interest of her debt, can ever pay the principal. Repudiation there, and in other carpat-bagged States, is, we fesr, but a question of time. The English press says that it is un- just to deny the payment of bonds held by in- nocent_persons, whether or not such bonds were illegally issued, because the present holders could not know the condition of their issue. Baut, if illegal issues become good a8 soon as tho sconndrels sell them, why hLave any law? This unreasoning would prove that the Btate shonld pay forged bonds, provided tho -forgers have got rid of them. Aswe under- atand tho matter, Georgis has repudiated no part of the debt authorized by the old Legisla- ture, nest of carpot-baggers as that was. She repudiates only the frandulent over-issue of tonds made by Governor Ballock. . —— The Bethnal-Green Museum, in London, was especially designed for the poor people who herd together in that dismal, dirty section of the groat city.. With rare discretion, the managers keep it closed on Sundsy—the only day on which ths majority of the people can visit it—to the grest benefit of the neighboring gin-houses. The re- ‘moval of this restriction is being eagerly pressed. A'recent mecting. in Shoreditch, called to urge this chango, was addressed by both lay and cler- ical spoakers. The Rector of Bethnnl-Graen wrote to the meeting a strong plea for the opening. Ho said: ‘Believe mo that there is many a lesson to be got there (at the Museum) which my poor parishioners and laborers will not loarn elsowhere. A poor woman, the other day, aftor gazing at one of Murillo's pictures of the Virgin and child; turned to her husband, poor and humble like herself, and said: *Oh, Jim, it would be enough to maks a womana saint tq be the mother of #o beaatifal a child.”” It is strange that a picture which can raisen humen clod to mach a height of feeling shonld be an aid to virtus at 11:59 Saturdsy night, and become a potent canss of evil one minute Iater.
