HAINES AND RICHARD BISHOP, Crystal Lake, Oct. 15 The trisngular contest for Congreasional ‘Delegate in Dakota Territory has taken an unex- pected shape, rendering it uncgm.m ‘whether Brookings, Independent Republican, or Arm- strong, Democrat, is elected. The demand for the Fire Anniversary number ,of Tae TrRIBUKE still continues, elthongh sev- eral successive editions have been exhausted. - %e can now supply all orders for this issue at Tap TriBUNE counting-room, No. 15 Canel street. The debt of New York City has been increased \Quring the last eight months to the extent of over £4,000,000. This increase was for additional &chool buildings, docks, and public worka: The expenditure is egual to anything done in the deys of Tweed, though it is to be presumed that .the city has more to show for the money now than it had then. The Carlists of Spain have attempted another -3nsurrection, this time at Ferral, but, like all the other revolutions by that family, this one has ‘been suppressed, and promptly. Don _Ca.rlos, £he elder, made his claim to the throne in 1833, and be and his successors have been engaged in ipsurrections and in being suppressed ever gince, The Princes themselves manage o keep out of Spail The official returns from Indiana continue to Ancrease the majority for Mr. Hendricks. The ‘contest between Shanks, Republican, and Neff, Liberal, in the Ninth Congressionsl District, will turn upon the legality of the votes in one township; if the ballots are allowed, Shanks will be elected; if they are disallowed, Neff will e elected. Hendricks® majority is too large to {ustify his being counted out this time, The imports of Richmond, Va., during the fiscal sear 1871-2, were S130,447. At an average of 20 ercent, the duties thercon would be $26,089.40. Eight employes collected this sum and voted the Grant ticket in return for £11,857.88 of the peo- ple's money. The cost of collection is, then, over 45 per cent,—or 20 per cent more then the average which Mr. George William Curtis fixed when he grid: ‘‘One-fourth of the revenues of the United States are annually lost in the col- Tection.” On Sundsy night fwo disasters occurred on thelakes. The propeller Lacla Belle foundered on Lake Michigan; some of the passengers yeached Racine in one of the boats and report that all the passengers and crew were saved. She had a cargo of pork and flonr. The other gissater qeened an Take Qatarie, whora the propeller China, loaded with pig-iron and mer= chandise, was burned to the water'’s edge. The lives of all on board were saved. The remaine of Governor W. H. Seward, the statosman and patriot, were buried, yesterday, at Auburn, New York. The funeral was attend- ed by several representatives of the Govern- ment, aod by many distinguished citizens from that and adjoining States. There i3 @ general expression, from all parts of the country, of gratitude for the great services of Mr. Seward, and his death is pronounced by all as a National loss. During the election in Savannah, a negro who was inciting a riot at the polls was arrested by & man named Julian, a Specisl Deputy Sheriff. This outrageous interference with the right of suffrage has received its merited reward. A core of negroes, headed by a white Custom. Houso officinl, gallantly attacked Julian, in the evening, shot him in the head and thigh, beat him with clubs, and left him senseless. The colored men are arming, or orgenizing, and fighting in a way that must do Wendell Phillips’ heart good. A Judge in one of the Eastern States, in explaining to the Grand Jury their duties with regard to indicting persons for certain noto- rious crimes, said to them, *If the State’s Attor- ney does not properly and promptly aid you in discharging your duty, indict him.” We think if Grand Juries were more generally reminded of their duty, and advised of their powerinsuch cases, there might be sn improvement in the execution of the law, and & more vigorous effort to arrest certain kinds of crimes which now go unpunished. The friends of Greeley and Brown in Ohio are by no means disposed to surrender the con- test for the Electoral vote of that State. We haeve already published General Brinkerhof’s ringing address, and Mr. Hasssurek’s, in his paper, the Cincinnati Volksblatt, of Saturdsy, says: ‘‘If the Grant party of Ohio carried the Stete by 15,000 majority, only 7,500 votes are necessary to neutralize this majority. Hamil- ton County slone will farnish 5,000 toward it, and in the other parts of the State there will certainly be as much done, if not more.” A Cairo paper reports that the Surveyor Gen- eral of Canada and the Astronomerto the Royal Engineer Corps have been in that city searching for the points where, in 1807, the waters of the Mississippi and Ohio joined. This is necegsary to settle the bonndary of a tract ofland, 400 miles square, in Canada, always in dispute, and in the original titles defined by land-marks, one of which, the junction named, was directly south of one corner of the tract. Her Majesty's Gov- ernment hes gone at work in earnest to locate this missing point, which a portion of old Cairo residents assert is now out in deep water, while others are equally certain that it is far inland. The New York Mayoralty tickets are now four in number. Jimmy O'Brien is the Republican nominee, Abraham R. Lawrence the Democratic, W. F. Havemeyer is named by the Democratic members of the Committee of Seventy, and George W. Van Nort by the Republican mem- bers of the same Committee. O'Brien, who, it is gaid, can neither read nor write, hes demand- ed & high price for his pest services in Philadel- phis, and for those to be performed in New York, and, despite his Penitentiary record, the Republicans confess their purpose to win a vie- tory even by such means. It will be a vindica- tion of Tweed and Connolly when the party of Reform nominates and supports O'Brien for the Mayoralty of the great metropolis of the Nation. ‘The Hon. Thomas J. Turner, yesterday, sc- cepted the nomination for Btate's Attorney on the Liberal ticket. Mr. Turner is an able law- yer, and of large practice. He ranks among the ablest menin the State. He is espcrienced in the duties of the office, and is thoroughly con- versant with the Legislature of the State. He has also served in COongress, repeatedly in the Legislsture, and was & member of the Conven- tion which framed the present Con- stitution of the State. If the citizens of this comnty want & competent, ex- perienced lawyer, who is in no way involved in the local party wranglings, and who will honestly and fearlessly execute the laws, let them elect Mr. Tarner. Those of the Ohio electors who voted on the 8th inst., cast 256,000 ballots for Wikoff, Grant candidate for Secretary of State, and 244,000 for Wiley, Greeley candidate for the eame office. The difference in the popular voté is, it will be seen, but 12,000, Yet that difference elects six Congressmen, The Grant party carried thir- teen districts; the Liberals but seven. The cause of this outrageous disproportion between popular and Congressional majorities is, of course, the system—for it has become a system —of gerrymandering. It is a sign of the decadence of popular integrity that the party in power not only justi- fies its delegetes to the Legislature, where they set themselves to the task of cheating the minority out of its just representation in the House, but demands that they shall do so. —eee The Special Committee of the Common Coun- cil, to whom was referred the subject of a re- formin our present system of numbering and naming of strests, at & meeting yesterday, decided to report an ordinance providing as fol- lows: 1. To adopt the decimal syetem of num- bering strests in the city. 2. To make Madison street the dividing line, or base, for numbering all north and south and diagonal streets, and State street the dividing line for numbering all east and west streets. 8. To take the word “West” from the name of all streets running west of of from State street, and “Sonth” from streets running in that direction from Madison street. 4. To add the word ‘ East” to the names of all streets running east of or from State street, and the word ““ North to all streets running north of or from Madison street. 5. That one hundred numbers be assigned on each street to each block or square not exceeding four hundred feet in length or width, and two hundred numbers to all blocks or squares exceeding that dimension; intervening narrow streets and alleys are not to ‘e considered bounderies of blocks or squares. The Police Commissioners, last night, pre- sented to the Common Council the draft of an ordinance for the closing of ealoons and all other places for the sale of liquor. The ordinance provides that any person who shall, during the night time, after 11 p. m., keep open ‘‘any saloon, grocery, victualling, or other house or place” for selling, giving away, or deeling in any ‘‘vinous, epirituous, ardent, intoxi- cating, or fermented liquors, to be drunk in or about the premises, or ‘who shall, during the same hours, sell or give away, or deal in such liquors, to be drank on the premises, shall be subject to a fine of not less than €10 nor more than £100.” Druggists are exempted from the operations of the ordinance. The ordinance does not contain any refexence to closing the saloons on Sunday. It simply provides that all places where liquor is sold shall be clozed at 11 p. m., and be kept closed during the “night time” thereafter, which means, prob- ably, until daylight. The ordinance did not meet a very favorable reception in the Council, and was finally referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The ordi- nance evidently aims at driving sll persons home at 11 o’clock by cutting off the supply of refreshments af that hour. By = curious coincidence, a despatch annonne- ing the murder, by Apaches, of an officer of the Seventeenth Infantry, reached Washington while & delegation of Apaches and other red-handed braves were interviewing the Presidant and the l portion of the Csbinet not now on the stump. The firat set of savagesare now on the high road to distinction. If they keep on killing our sol- diers, they will soon become chiefs. Then they will kill more, and become celebrated ~ chiefs. Then they will be carried on to Washington af the expense of the people they have been doing their best todestroy. They will be talked to, and paid for their kindness in hearing by being lodged and fed in first-class_hotels. They will then bé sent back to the plains, will be given riflea with which to kill more soldiers, and horses with which to escape, and will be let loose to burn, ravish, torturo, and slay, until the exter- mination that now might bo avoided by prompt Beverity will become n necessity. Nowadays, the man whose family has boen burned to death by some cowardly band of scalpers, and who wishes to get his revenge, vendetta-fashion, will betake himself, if he is wise, not to the plains, but to ‘Washington. There he is sure to meet his prey, and can slaughter the sécoundrels at will. & The Chicago produce markets were_ generally loss active yesterday, and most of them wero easier. Mess pork was gniet and steady for cash lots, at $14.25@14.50, and firmer for future at $13.00 seller March. Lard was dull and easier; quoted at 8%gc for winter, and 8c for seller De- cember or geller January, 1fects were quiet, at 6@63¢o for shoulders, and 10@10%c for short ribs. Highwines were stoady, and more active at 88c per gallon, Lake freights were moderstely active, but & little easier, closing at 153c for corn by sail to Buffalo. Flour was in fair de- mand, and firm. Wheat was less ac- tive, and declined 134c per bu, clos- ing et $L18%c cash, and $L13@1.18% seller November. Corn was less active, and & shade easier, closing at 33%4c cash,and 31@343¢c seller November. Oats were in fair demand, and quite firm, closing at 22X{c cash, and 23%@ 2834c seller November. Rye was quiet, but fim- er, with buyera at 5%. Barley was in fair de- mand and steadier,closing at 633¢c for cash No. 2, 63¢ for seller the month, and 4534¢ for No. -8. The cattle market was dull and easy, but without quotable change. Hogs met with an active de- mand and commanded the advanced ,prices es- tablished on Saturdsy, sales making ot $4.70@ 5.00. Sheep were inactive. v 0Old-fashioned geametricians and railroad en- gineers used to think that s straight line was tho shortest distance between two points, but in the light of recent revelations on the Pacific Rail- road it seems that circumstances may change this antiquated rule. If the two points are re- spectively the Treasury of the United Statesand the Treasury of the Credit Mobilier, and if the line to connect them is the line of thé Pacific Railrond, geometry must yield to arithmetic, and the cnrve replace the straight line, for then the longest way round is the shortest way home, to the ~ pockets of Uncle Sam—as Mr. Moses Bates, of Boston, explains in & let- terto the Springfield Republican. Travellers over the Pacific Railroad, boyond the Black Hills, have noticed that, whenever the road approaches some unusually level strotch of country, it be- gins to double in and out, and circles over the prairies in sinnous curves, as if loth to leave 80 charming aspot. Looking out of the car- window sideways, tho traveller may see the rails Iying on the plain in great scrpentine coils. This singular devotion of the engineers to the line of beauty and of grace is by no means es- thetic. Itis pecuniary; it has a specie basis, end arises from the fact that, for every mile the Company thus edded to the length of the road, they received in United States bonds $16,000 (and the right to issue their own bonds to the same amount), and ten alternate sections of land extending twenty miles back’on each side of the road. By these circuits the Jength of the Pacific Railroad has been increased, Mr. Bates says, 256 miles, at a cost to the people, in bonds and lands, of not loss than $20,000,000. In this way, the railroad obtained not less than 5,120 sections more of the choicest part of the public domain than they were entitled to by their charter. There is, in addition to this, the continual waste involved in the additional tolls which must be paid by way-passengers, and for every pound of freight which goes to San Francisco over this unnecessary 256 miles. Had the Pa- cific Railroad, as 2 corporation, been the party to benefit by sach carves, there would have been no adequate motive for their commission. But it was the express object of the Credit Mobilies tomske euch surreptitious profits as these the private gains of Oakes Ames and company. For each of these 256 miles, as for all the others, the TUnited States gaveits own bonds, the right to issue bonds, and its lands, to the Pacific Rail- road, which the Directora forthwith voted to themselves as individual members of the Credit BMobilier as compensation for building the road. — EXTENDING THE AREA OF FREEDOM. We bave now a renewal of several breezy schemes of territorial acquisition. There comes to us from Washington the old cry of enlarg- ing the area of freedom.” Interference with Cube, and especislly a protectorate over Mexico, are already urged. The Spanish Government having refused to sbolish slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico, and having failed to abandon the former] to the revolutionists, it is sug- gested that the cause of freedom deo- mands that the Old World despotism ghall be exterminated, aud these islands placed under the American flag. There are remote suggestions that no canal or other communication can be safely constructed through Central Americe, unless the territory selected for that purpose shell belong to this Union, Therefore, trade, commerce, peace, prosperity, uniom, future grandeur, and the American Eagle alike demand that the United States shall acquire more territo- ry southward. Itis suggested that ‘‘wo must have harbors in the West Indies in which we can have our fleets in time of war.™ It has not been long since a Senator paraded a block of salt on his desk in the Senate, and declared that the Uuited States could not afford to remain eny longer without the possession of theisland where it was found. It hes not been very long gince the President of the United States ad- vised the purchase of a forcign land on the ground that the value of the sugar, coffee, and other products which might “be raised thero would eventually ensble us to pay our foreign indobtedness. Itis hardly necessary for us to eay that it wes from the same high authority that the country was informed that there was gold enough in Colorado, Nevada, and California to pay the National debt many times over, and that it had evidently been placed there for that purpose. 3 Just at this time the Presidential canvass'in Texas is conducted by one party on the assur- ance that, if re-elected, the President will at once extend the military authority of the Union over the northern States of Mexico, in order to protect our frontier, and that if Mexico objects to such an invasion he will have to overcome those objections by force. In 1846, General Taylor was ordered to occupy the east side of the Rio Grande, to which oceupation Mexico objected, and when the Mexicans vainly endeavored to repel the inva- sion of their soil, the President, by proclama- tion, declared that * war existed by the act of Mexico,” Already a force of the regular army has been ordered to the Mexican frontier, and it is stated in Texas, as of authority, that, as soon a8 the election is over, the President will estab- lish a protectorate over all the northern States of Mexico, or practically move the boundary line some hundred or two hundred miles backward into Mexico. If war should follow this act, then it will bo the “act of Mexico,” for which Mexico must be punished by having her people subjugated and her Government reconstructed and placed in the hends of -Americans. It is true Mexico has just now, for the first time in many years, elect- ed & President by a unanimous vote, and without arevolution. Nevertheless, her welfare, pres- oot and futnre, it is argued. devends upon her ‘being Americanized without deley. And much more of the same sort. How far these schomes are favored by the Administration we ‘do not undertake to say. That is not to the point. But it is perfectly obvious that every scheme of this kind means ‘money, and necesearily includes war. It is no answer that we are vastly superior to Mexico, and can easily overrun that unfortunate coun- try ; that Spain has fallen to the condition of & third-rate power, and that we can . borrow three dollars to her one; that the people of San Domingo are 50 few and 80 ignorant that they dare not oppose their transfer, and that Hayti can easily be coerced into an incorporation with the American Union. The great fact romsins unchanged, that all this means vast expenditure and needloss war. All these proposed conquests .or ennexetions are of foreign people, speaking a different langusge, with national traits and habits, and with social, religious, and political ingtitutions equally foreign to our own. These | people, morcover, have a bitter hatred of the United States. The memory of the war of 184648 will be over green in Mexico, and if, to the hopes of the Moxican people there ever occurs o vision of netional graatness and power, it is hailed chiefly becsuse of the promise it gives of a recovery of the States lost in 1848, and the consequent humiliation and disintegra- tion of the great ‘‘ Robber Republic” of the North. We may conquer Mexico, as we may conquer Cuba and all Spanish America; but, in 80 doing, we take upon ourselves the responsi- bility of war and butchery to subdue a people who hate us in every sense of the word, and who will gledly contribute, at any moment, to our National disintegration. The next four years, it is expected, are to add thirty or forty new States to the Union, all of which will have to be reconstructed, and in all of which Ku-Kluxiem will of necessity exist. A war with Mexico, and another with Spain, will require an increased navy ; thero will be an army to clothe, equip, and subsist; there will be whole fleets of iron-clads, with new armaments ; there will be new contracts, new frands, new robbery of the Nation ; there will be new loans, new issues of bonds, new issues of greenbacks, new syndicetes, new Treasury Agents ; there will bo new serambles for gold, and more Black Fridays; and the various finan- ciers and capitalists who professed to have a dread lest Greeley would disturb the peace of .the money market, will revel in the tran- quillity of an endless war, of eternal rebellions, and of permanent stendiug armies and floating navies, if thosewild projects succeed. Have wo not had cnough of war? Do we want any ‘more conquered territory or subjugated people ? Ave we over to have pesce, or is the sword, which was supposed to have been sheathed st Appomattox, to gleam until the Republic, in forcing its imperial power upon other nations, shall fall and perish, like all its predecessors, into the darkness of anarchy ? THE CHICAGO TIMES AND THE CINCINNATI -~ MOVEMENT. In all'political movements & steady, though not large, allowance is to be made for an element which the American people have cuphemized by the term “ pure cussedness.” It signifiesthe aimless obstinacy with which certain men pursuo mulish policies, which they know to be stupid and believe to be disastrous, merely be- cause in so doing thoy attract atten- tion, whereas, if they acted with the aver- ago sense, their inferior qualities would bo lost in the crowd of nobler minds with whom they would be drawn into company. Wo observe that our Mephistophelian contemporary, the Chicago Times, has beon chiefly inspired during this campaign by this benign spirit of “purc cusscdness.” As carly ‘s 1868, im- mediately after the Presidential election, the Chicago Times astonished its roaders by recom- mending that Democrats should sanction.uni- versal suffrage, gulping down abolition, negro suftrage, and all tho Republican doctrines at once. . Regarding all theso questions a3 settled, it would sirike out anew on the policies of Na- tional Amnesty and Reconciliation, Civil Ser- vice Reform, and Revenue Reform. It treated its readers for several days to this dish of “boiled crow,” attracting some notice in the form of plaudits from Radical journals, and some discontinuances from Democratic sub- scribers, though probably not great. With occasional repentances, the Times, along with Vallandigham, Pendleton, and other Demo- cratic politicians, advocated the new departure, It soon became evident that, if the Democracy would rid themselves of their old slliance with slavery, and plant themselves on & progressive platform founded on the existing demands of the country for Peace and Reform, they would be joined by an influcntial body of Republican leaders, and by voters exceeding the Republicen majorities in most of the Btates. Ravished by the prospect, the Times became sn enthusiastic Liberal, denounced all Democrats who held back 23 Bourbons, and claimed to be the simon-pure esponent, and real, genuine original Jacobs of the Cincinnati movemont. Had its candi- date, Judge David Davis, of Bloomington, a Re- publican, been nominated, the Zimes would, of course, be supporting him to-day. Whether his nomination bad been ratified at Beltimore or not, the Times would be calling on all Democrats to vote for him, without tho least intimation or hint thet in so doing the party was being sold out to its enemies, or that the principles of Demoeracy weroe being betrayed. As it became apparent that the Democratic pressure in all parts of the country would com- pel the ratification of Greeley’s nominationat Bal- timore, the Chicago Times, at first the champion of Liberalism and then of strict fealty to Balti- more, changed its tune, and prepared to bolt from the Democratic party if its Convention nominated Grecley. Itdid so. Then fora time it turned to the Fitth Avenue Conference in New York. This conference included 120 persons, of whom about onehundred were for Greeley. The twenty seceded, and nominated Groesbeck and Olmsted. Just ns the Times was nailing these nsmes at its masthend, both nominees resigned. Disappointe? in Groesbeck and Olmsted, the Times nex: grasped at the Louisville straw and went down with it. Nominslly, it is a sup- porier of O'Conor aud Adams. Virtually, it sup- ports Grant, andis the orgen of Grantism in Chicago. Within six months it hes drifted from Liberalisa to Grantism,—from anything to beat Gfant to enything to elect Grant. Liber- aliam, Revenue Reform, Bourbonism, have been the successive planks on which it Las flonndered from Democracy over to Grantism. It is nowin congenial waters. As the organ and apologist of disorders and despotisms in every form for sixteen years past, its true sphere will be found in serving Grant. It will como in with O'Brien and Murphy, an appropriate ally. Al this is not because it hates Grant any less than it did five months ago, but because it there- by seizes upon the first opportunity it has aver enjoyed to manifest toward its former Demo- cratic co-workers that clement of “ pure cussed- ness” which has always been its most striking characteristic. A HINT TO HARD CASES. A novel plan of golving the temperande prob- lem has been hit upon by Mr. Sumner S. Brick, of Augusts, Me. The unfortunate Brick has for a long time boen suffering from drinlking too much liquor. Like all drunkards, Brick, when sober, was an excellent man and 2 model mem- Der of the community, but when drunk, got into all sorts of scrapes. Some time since, while in- toxicated, he committed a serious offence, was arrested, and locked up in jail. When released on bail, he went immediately to the Journal of- fice and caused the following sdvertisement to be published : “ Whoever sells, or offers to sell to me, any intoxicating liquors of whatever nature, or whoover solls any in my presence, will be prosecuted to the full oxtent of the law.” The temperance laws in Maine favor Mr, Brick" regolution, and, if he adheres tohis total absti- nence theory, there is little danger that any seloon-keeper will expose himself to Brick's por- sonal ponslty, and much uacerisintv whethar Brick can get another drink, for love or money, Lowever thirsty he may be. The legislation in other States would hardly adept itself to Brick's. commendable plan for recovering eobriety, and remaining an upright and proper man, neverthe- less ho has hit at the very root of the matter, and, as far as ho (Brick) is concerned, he has cutthe Gordian Knot which the churches and temperance societies haye been attempting. to untie ever gince Noah got drunk in his own vine- yard. Instead of being compelled by the lew to remain o eober man, he compels the law to keep him eober. Instead of here- after trespassing upon - the public ‘peace and having to pay damiages for it, ho makes the szloon-kesper responsible in trespass- ing upon his moral and physical rights, and com- pels him to pay the damages therefor. In our own State, under the new temperancs laws, the wife of the incbriate can bring an action for damagos against the saloon-keeper when she has suffered from her husband's intoxication. If the wife, why not also the husband? If the temperance legislation in this State were so re- modelled that all of Brick's fellow-sufferers were at liberty to apply his remedy, and clothe themselves inthe full panoplyof tholaw, it would make very lively timea for saloon- keepers. We donot believe thers is any man, who is on the down hill of intemperance, but desires to get back agnin, and strives with all his might and main to doso. The hebitual drunk- erdis just ssconscious of the inevitable fate in store for him assny of his sobet and more fortunate friends, and, if he had the power to be alaw unto himself, he would many times apply that remedy. Thore is many and many a drunkard, over whom the temperance societies are working, and the legislators wrangling, all to no purpose, who will envy Mr. Brick his legal prerogatives. Suppose’that every drunkard in Chicago had the right to come upon the saloon- keeper who sold him the liquor for personal damages, in trospassing upon his® right to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of Lappiness, end that the drunkard's wife also' had the right to make him pay for the damages inflicted upon her, how Iong would tho saloon-keeper's business remain & profitable one, or how many men would care to continue business under this dual responsi- bility? The Maine drankard, in the position he Los gssumed, hus given our citizens, com- mittees, and legielators something to think of. Asfaras he is personally concerned, he has settled the whole question. He has no need of legislation. He is his own life-preserv- er. He isthelaw, court, jury, sheriff, and all unto himself. If he violates the law, he makes theman who has caused him to violate it re- sponsible therefor, and hereafter the whiskey- bottlo has no terrors for him, for he has the fas- cinating temptation bound hand and foot and under bonds to keep the peace toward him. In the present muddled. condition of the temper- ance question in this city,—with clergymen sug- gesting back-door compromises with sin, With the Mayor issning bulls against the comet, with the Police Commissioners rowing and backing water at the same . time, and with politicians ploading that the saloons be kept open lest their closinginjure the Republican party, Mr.Brick, the Augusta drunkard, with Lis unfailing panaces, comes like 8 ray of eunlight into s dark place. Wo suggest to all parties who are wrestling with this vexed question, that Brick, who is mastor of the situation in his own bailiwick, offers them something to reflect upon with reference to the Bricks in Chicago. BUTLER AND WELLS. ‘The Young Men's Free-Trade Association of Boston, thinking it proper that before General Butler received their support for Congress he should make known his views on questions which seriously affected their interests, and were likely to come before him officially next winter, addressed him n letter asking him to state in terms whether he was in favor of Pro- tection, so-called, or Free Trade. He repliod that he was mnot in favor of & tariff for protection, but for revenme pur- poses only, “with incidentel wid” to the industries of the country. What this inci- dental aid should bo he illustrates by two ex- amples, which Mr. Wells, in replying, in bohalf of the Association, makes the instruments of his utter discomfiture. General Butler chooses “lastings” and ‘‘bunting” as specimens of revenuo taxation with ‘incidental aid.”. Mr. ‘Wells shows that the incidental aid amounts to no less than taxes of 90 por cent and 120 por cent respectively! He shows next, that there is not a scintilla of truthin tho General's state- ment that this protection has lowered the price of lestings onc-thixd to the shoe manufacturer and consumer, but that it has been, on the contrary, part of a system which prevents the American people from bene- fiting by that reduction on the prices of wool- lens, in which all thé rest of the world has par- ticipated, for “thers is not to-dsy & civilized country on the face of the globe in which a man or a woman cannot clothe themselves in woollens —quality and quantity being equal—at least 50 per cent cheaper then they can in the United States.” Tho enhanced price which this taxa- tion on lastings compels us to pay asmounts in & year to over $1,500,000, which wonld support the whole Diplomatic and Consular force of the coun- try. General Butler's assertions were based on a etatistical -trick which Mr. Wells has oxposed before. They will show, first, “thet compared with the prices of ten years ago, those of to-day have fallen, and then claim that this is 2 cheap~ ening due to protection. They sedulously kecp out of sight the foreign prices which, as is the case with lastings, have fallen faster and lower than Americon prices, and they hope in this way toconcenl tho fact thattho real effect of the protection has been to deprive us of the chesp- ening of prices that accrues to other peoples. General Butler fell upon o particularly infelici- tous illustration. The tax on lastings, besides burdening the largest specific branch of domestic industry (shoe-making), is particularly odious because it falls most heavily upon the women of the coun- try, for whoso shoes lastings is mainly employ- ed. Mr. Wells does not speak too strongly when he calls this tax a swindle and acheat, and he gives the people a hint that should not be lost when he says that, if they understood their interests, they would clect anymen that ad-: vocated the continuance of such impositions a good denl guicker to the State Prison thaato & seat in the National Legielature. In the matter of bunting, which gets the in- cidental aid of 120 per ceni, Mr. Wells finds it impossible to verify the General's quotations of prices, which is not . surprising, osnd he shows that bunting, which, free of duty, conld be bomght for 15 cents currency per yard, costs under the pres- ent tariff 31 1-10 cents per yard. General Butler, whom some have asserted to be personally inter- ested in the single bunting manufactory of Massachusetts, thinks that Americans will find 2 coneolation in being able to fight under Amer- ican bunting that will reconcile them to the ex- tortion of 120 per cent. True Americans .will be aptto echo the fervid declaration of Mr. ‘Wells, that if our flags must bear the inscrip- tion, *‘Manufactured by foreigners,” or the words, “Manufactured by General Bautler under a prohibitory tariff of 120 per cent,” he prefers the former, for thet means freedom,—the right of every American to exchange the products of his labor without re- striction,—while the other symbolizes servitude. A further argument in favor of Protection General Butler finds in the doubling of the wages of lubor and the shortening of the hours. Here he has recourse again to the trick of sup- pressing essential facts in the calculation. Wages have rison, but prices have risen 28 much, or more. Workingmen have themselves given the testimony to refate this plea. The Crispins in Generil Butler's own district have publicly stated that, whileprices of commodities have rigen against them 80 per cent, their wages have raised only*50 per cent, and that. therofore. the * shosmakers eandition financially must be worse than it was ten years ago.”. The Massachusetts Bureau of Labor, in . their last réport, prove,by the testimony of work- ingmen in all their chicf industries, that their average earnings do not equal the aversgo cost of living. And © a8 General Butler claimed that these beneficent features of " Protection could not be discovered under the partial Free Trade system of Greab Britain, | Mr. Wells cheerfully admits thet for once he is right, and to fortify his sege conclusions prints o table published this year by Leone Levi, which shows that “partial Free Trade” hes so far contributed to the comfort of English laborers, that, instead of being like their American com- petitors, harassed by the increasing gep between their wages and their expenses, their per capita consumption of the necessaries and comforts of life has largely increased. The Prussisn Goyernment has failed to extend any assurances to the Old Catholics that it will become their special champion, orin any way take part in their struggle with the Infallibilists, 28 an interested combatant, and has steadily re- fused them any material aid in money or church buildings, which they sadly need in pushing their new formof faith. The Government has limited . its sympathy for them to regulations which place them on the same footing as the other recognized Churches, by acknowledging the binding force of their ministers’ acts. The Infallibilist priests are now required to enter on the parish books births, marriages, &c., solem- nized by O1d Catholic clergymen, when they are requested to do so by them. Beyond this, they o not seem likely to receive any nssistance from the Government, end will be allowod to paddle their own cance. The Emperor, who has had so much trouble of late in the jarrings of Church and State, has evidontly determined fo grant them en eternal divorce, and, while he and Bis- marck manage the affairs of the Empire, the Churches will heve to be content to manage their own affairs as private corporations, in no sense entitled to ask the Gevernment for assistance, and in no way to be allowed to interfere with it.

Archbishop French has ob- Jected to this that it would seriously interfere with the study of etymology, but tho Committee does not agree with'the Archbishop, or, at least, thinks that such interference is the lesser evil. It is proposed to restoro some words to their Shakspearian forms, which represent their sounds quite clearly. Howaver, the Committeo seems to have done nothing moro dofinite than to lay down the two maxims: “Roform, not revolution,” 2nd : * Tho maximum of advantage with the minimum . of change,’ and to suggest the formetion in Eng- land of o Board like tho French Acndemy. which should, like that, revise the lungmage. The Pall Mall Gaze!te rathor discourages the whole scheme, by saying that the new spelling would soon be as anomalous 2s the old, and, quoting Richter's remark, “Sound must even succumb to the silent power of Time,” to prove it. — e It will be remembered that Cincinnati, some time since, gave up in despair the effort to count votes with Chicago and St. Louis, and that lat- terly sho has transferred the contest to Pitts- burgh. The rivalry between thé two cities grows intoresting. Pittsburgh claims the vote of Allegheny County as her vote, and Cincinnati that of Hamilton County. On this point, there isno dispute between the two cities. At the October election of 1863, Cincinnati ceme out ahend with flying colors, her vote being 43,870, while that of Pittsburgh was but 83,303, a dif- ference of 5,067 in favor of Cincinnati. As the recent election, however, the tables were turned. The vote-of Cincinpeti was 42,171, while that of Pittasburgh was 42,594 Cincinnati, therefore, hos the mortifieation, not only of being beaten 493 votes by her smoky rival, but of falling off 1,699 votes from hor own coun of 1833. Disproving the existence of William Tell has coma to strongly ressmble knocking down = man of straw. Nevertheless, the Historical Sociaty of the old Swiss Cantons has taken the trouble over again By anunpleasantly conclusivo mass of facts, it shows that the original Tell was born in the frozen North; that he shot apples off his £0ng’ heads in Norwey, Sweden, and Iceland; that he became William of Cloudslee in Eng- land, and did his little toxophilic feat in the market-place of Carlisle; and that he thence journeyed to Switzerland, where he lived his life and performed his feats all over agein, and left bohind him his eross-bow, which is elill shown at Zurich. In short, heis & myth. The proof is complete, overwhelming. Horeafter wo shall be told no more of Tell. The increasing frequency of suddon deathsin England has excited general attention. The num-~ ber of such deaths was, in 1851, 5,746; in 1870, 12,428 The medical journalsseem to egree that the cause of the increase was tho tremendous pace ot which men now live. The mental and physical strain involved ina constant struggle to got wealth or fame quickly ends in heart-dis- ease, and this ends in death. This view is sus- tained by the fact that such deaths occur, as a general rule, among men betwecn 20 and 45years of age. A medical review kindly advises Eng- lishmen that these figures ‘“warn us to take 2 little more care not to kLill ourselves for the sake of living."” .. The ballot, although proclaimed a failure in England, scems to be, at present, a success in Ireland. Atthe eleciion of aTown Councillor in Limerick, two candidates—a moderate Liber- alanda “semi-Fenian "—appeared. Terrorism would certeinly have carricd tho dey for the lat- ter if the voting had been viva voce. The secret system prevented terrorism, and the Liberal had a good majority. However, the success at Pontefract of the Tory dodge for nullifsing tho law will insure its adoption at ail elections henceforth.
