We publih elsewhere the statement of « passenger who reached this city yesterday. General Averill, Grant candidate for Congress $n Minnesota, and Mr. Baker, Commissioner of Pensions, have had their stumping bronght toa close by an accident, in which they each sprain- ed an ankle. The Republicens of the Deputment' of thfa- Gironde, in France, have adopted the * Ameri- can system” of nominating candidates, and recently held a convention to neme a candidate ! volving & loss of £50,000, taxes that can be collected and steal all the re- tarns, have paralyzed industry. Graut, who has aided these carpet-bsggers by every means in his povwer, is not regarded asa * sufe President " by the prodeers of the Old North State. The finan- cial Rings, thers and in Wall street, consider him as very “safe.” One of the most gignificant proofs of the re- cuperative energies of Chicago is found in the continued activity of suburban real estate. Not- withstanding the tightness of the money mar- Let for commercial paper the number of trans- actions in ontside property seems to be notat all diminished, but rather on the increase, at full prices. This fact is undoubtedly due to the confidence which has been inspired among Last- ern capitalists by the ‘rapid rcbuilding of the city, and also to the large number of laboring men who are investing their savings in suburb- an lots, with & view of securing homes in the vicinity of the city. A groes slander having been published against the intogrity and efficiency of Governor Koerner and his fellow-members of the Railroad and ‘Warehouse Commission, the former has written 2 reply, which we publish this morning, setting forth all the facts in relation to the suit bronght by the Commissioners to enforce tho Railroad Freight act against the Chicago & St. Louis Railrond. It is sufficient to show the animus of this charge, that Colonel R, P. Morgan, one of the Commissioners, equally guilty with tho rest, if any are guilty, is carefully spared by the as- sailants of Governor Eoerner. The reason is that Mr. Morgan supports Grant, and Nr, Koerner does not. The good city of Evanston was threatened, yesterday morning, with a general conflagration. Afire occurred, which, owing to the want of ‘water and the means of using it, spread exten- sively, destroying a number of buildings, in- Evanston is built al- most exclusively of wood, and it is somewhat & reflection upon the enterprise of her people that she has no fire apparatus, and no supply of water, Warned by the conflagration, yes- terdsy, the city can make no more timely improvement than to introduce an abundant supply of water from the lake, and providea good steam engine and plenty of hose. Econo- my would suggest that these be provided with~ out delsy. The loss yesterday would have covered the greater part of the cost of all these, There is nothing in history or romance more affecting than the published correspondence be- tween General Hurlbut and Mr. Hildrup, of Belvidere. In June or July last Hurlbut wrote cannot err, and they will fight it ont on that line apperently through as many terms as Grant may purpose to run. It is clear, therefore, that the success of this personal party plants Grant on the platform, ascribed to him by Wendell Phillips, of the Presidency for life. If any of his party object, thay are {0 be turned out. If other parties vote against him, they are to be overalzgughed as they were in Pennsylvania, by money and ballot-stuffing. If it turns out that to-dsy the People have no power to change their Adminis- tration, despite its usurpations and disgraces, e eee no assurance that they will acquire any new powers in the future. MR, BLAINE'S SPEECH. Mr. Blaine made & smart, saucy speech on Monday evening, in the course of which he un~ dertook to tell how the Cincinnati Convention came together, and how it came to nominate a Protectionist for the Presidency. He says, first, that the Convention was called by Revenue Ro- formers for the purpose of advancing their pe- culiar ideas. This is pretty true. The Conven- tion was called for purposes of general reform, in which Revenue Reform was included. The op- ponents, within the Republican party, of that species of taxation which is imposed not for revenue but to benefit one cluss at the oxpense of other classes, believing that the elavery question and its adjuncts had been sottled by the three Constitutional Amendmenta passed since the war, decided to joinin a com- mon effort with the advocates of other reforms imperatively required by the country, and which the leaders of the Republican party manifested no disposition to give us, but every disposition to provent us from getting, to overthrow the present Administration, which appeared to be the citadel of a party despotism, abso- lutely crushing upon every form of free thought and independent action. How much Mr. Blaine himself sympathized with the rebellion sgainst the Mortons, Camerons, and Conklings, which was on his neck as well as onthat of Sumner, Trambull, and Schurz, he will perhaps tell at a more convenient season. The Revenue Reformers met at Cincinnatj enother issue more sharply defined than their OWD, possessing a stronger Liold on the popular mind, and requiring more immediate attention and adjustment. This was the condition of the Bouth. We have looked in vain through the speeches of the Grant orators for the first line of apology for the misgovernment of that unhappy gection of our country. We have looked equally in +vein for any promies of reform in that quarter. The carpot-bagger is & necessary pieco of the party furniture, and, while we should joyfally hail the a letter to Farnsworth, stating that Hildrup was a delegate to the Congressional Convention, and would do any thing for money,—and, fur- ther eaid: “Hildrup and Wilson are for sale; buy them if you can.” Hildrup is 8 candidate for the Legislature, and Hurlbut for Congress, both on the same ticket. Hildrup and Hurlbut have made up ; Hurlbut apologizes; says ho was misinformed by persons who have proven to be wholly false and trustwarthy,” and he takes it all back, and gives Hildrup & certificate of character which he is anthorized to print. Hurlbut's excuse is characteristic,. He and Hildrup have lived in the same village for half their lives, and the ides thatany person ever told him that Hildrup and Wilson were *for sale,” is a weak invention. The reconciliation is go touching that thers has hardly been a dry eyein Boone County for a week. Tho Chicago produce markets were dull yes- terday, and most of them wero lower. Ress pork was quiet and steady at $14.25@14.50 cesh, and $12.90@13.05 seller March. Lard was dull and weak at 8%(@8l¢c cash, and nbout 8c per Ib for geller December, or scller January, Meats were nominal at 6X@634c for shoulders, and 10@10}¢c for short ribs. Highwines were quiet and steady at 88c per gallon. Lake freights were moderately active at 1¢e decline, closing at 15¢ for corn by eail to Baffalo. Flour was in moderate demand, and steady. Wheat was heavy, declining 1}4¢c, and closing at §1.1244@ 1.12% cash, and $1.12%{ eeller November. Corn was dull and 1c lower, closing at 32}¢c cash, and 825¢c seller November. Qats were dull and 3o lower, closing at 2134c caeh, and 22}4c seller No- vember. Rye was quiot and firm, et 52@5214c. Barley was in fair demand, and firm at the de- cline of Monday, cloging at 6324c for No. 2, and 45%4c for No. 8. The following were the stocks of grain in store in this city on the evening of Baturday last: 904,454 bu wheat, 3,218,160 bu corn, 789,079 bu oats, 174,479 burye, 477,874 bu ‘barley. The 8an Francisco Bulletin of Oct. 9 contains 2 statistical summary of the commerce of that city for the nine months ending Sept. 80, 1872, which contains some very interesting facts. ‘The export trade of the city has been more ac- tive then in any previons year, The demand for California wines has gresatly increased. The shipments of wheat amount to 3,000,000 centals (5,000,000 bushels), more than three times as ‘much a8 was shipped in 1871 during the same months, The smount of flour is about the eame, 193,208 barrels, of which China alone has taken 83,000 barrels. The shipments of barley have also greatly in- creased, being 293,333 bushels, sgainst 16,666 bushels in 1871, The entire value of exports for 1872 is 815,249,738, against 10,547,593 for 1871,— China and Japan taking nearly §2,000,000 of this amount. The treasure exports for the year em- brace $16,964,000 in gold and silver bullion, £6,981,500 in gold coin, $98,300 in silver coin, and $1,047,700 in Mexican dollars, against $9,678,000 in gold and eilver bullion, $2,625,000 in gold coin, £40,000 in silver coin, end $1,700,000 in Mexican dollars, last year. The dutieson imports have been $6,368,000 ; the Inter- nal Revenue collections, £1,932,700; the receipta for the National Assembly. This is the first in- stance of the Lind in Europe. e Paris, and Europe generally, was startled on Sundsy by the report that the Communists of Paris had received a consignment of 2,000 bomb- shells of the infernal machine pattern, but the particular use therefor is not stnted.. The Te- port was sufiiciently ecrions to require special military precautions. e have received several columns of flattering notices by the press of the recent change in t}\e form of Tar TRIBUSE, and of its removal to its pew building. We are gratified to aclmuwleggn theso friendly rcmarks of our contemporaries, and to observe that they are not confined to any politicel squed or division, 2nd ars, perhsps, a8 free from partisan rage 2s could be expected in the present etate of the atmosphere. e ——— The * Bolters”—including ex-Congressman Bowen and Senators Sawyer and !ioh.ertson— from the Republican State organization in South Carolina, are baving o b.':rd.t'.me. ‘Wherever fhey attempt to hold & meeting, the negrocs W arm in crowds, znd, by hisses and hontmgs, prevent the oralcrs being heard.

Hides, Ko The stirring speech of Carl Schurz, at St. Chales, Mo:, of which we publish an abstract elsewhere, sounds the key-note of the hour, It is the bugle-call to ‘‘advance,” in the critical moment when to hesitate might lose a victory balf won. Terribly true is his reminder that we are fighting not merely for a change of rulers, ‘but for the right and power to change them. If Grant wins in this contest, he wing, not as the leader of the Republican party, for that isa thing of the past. It is the victory of a per- sonal perty, whose sole bond of cohesion 1s feal- ty to Grant. From that party every manhad previously been oxpelled who holds any other principle to be of any importance. Tho remain- der aro “culls,” ¢ picked men,” warranted im- penetrablo to all objections that can be urged to Grant. They had not a leader left who dared propose another candidate at the Philadelphia Convention, and they have none left who wounld dare tovote for another now. Wosee no reason 0 hope the Grant party will attain to any inde- pendence of Grant in the next four years. TFor if Conkling, Cameron, Morton, Logan, Colfex, Blaine, and Garfield should venture to oppose Grant during the next four years, what is thero about them that would prevent their being kicked out of tho party as Sumner, Greeley, appearance of any instrnment to put an end to his horrible work—demoralizing alike to blacks and whites—we have no expectation that it will ever be undertaken in earnest by those who look tothe carpet-bagger for their majorities in the Sonth. S The Revenue Reformers st Cincinnati were unable to give their issue precedence over this other issue, They were not strong enough nu- merically. They were not strong enough morally; for it is true that the condition of the South waa of more pressing importance than any other; and, when the reprosentatives of the South insisted that the issue of such vital con- cern to themselves should not be embarrassed by the tariff question, there was only one of two things to be done,—either to abandon the move- ment altogether or to refer the latter question to the people in the Congressional Districts. The latter course was adopted, and wonld have been acquiesced in by every Revenue Reformer present but for the nomination of Mr. Greeley, whose record had been that of s life-long Pro- tectionist. While we could not abandon the movement merely because Mr. Greeley received the nomination, we have had no quarrel with any of the Cincinnati gentlemen who refused to support him on account of his Protectionism. They, doubtless, acted from conscientious con- victions ; and, althongh we believe that their subsequent action tended to postpone the wholo couse of Reform four years, we expect to find them all laboring with us for the promotion of the principles which the Cincinneti Convention promulgated, and which the Baltimore Conven- tion reaffirmed. Mr. Blaine repeats the stale charge that Mr. Greeloy’'s nomination was saccomplished by stratagom and chicanery. The trath is, that it was carried by the same epirit of sympathy for- the vile end needless oppressions of the South, which dwarfed and overbore the Revenue Reform issue. All the clatter that has been made about Fenton, Frank Blair, Gratz Brown, and the “ corrupt bargain,” is idle and pernicious non- gense. Mr. Greeley was not our first, nor our second, choice at Cincinnati, but we believed him then and mnow to be an honest man and & sincere patriot, and, al- though differing from him radically upon the ono question which had been referred to the people in the Congressional Districts, we believe that his candidacy has swept the field of all the old-time and decaying issues which obstract and litter the arona of politics, and opened the way for & more bencficent one, in which the jargon of slavery, and war, and civil strife, bit- ter feuds, heari-burnings, and contentions ghall no more sappear. We believe that the great majority of the Democratic party have accepted, in good faith, the new amendments of the Constitution, which Mr. Greeley helped to secure. We believe that those Republicans who are now abusing him so savagely will be ashamed of themselves three weeks hence, and will be prepared to acknowledge that the mean who, more than any other, led the way to extinguish- ing all opposition in this country to freedom and equal rights, is entitled to a crown more im- perishable than any earthly honor. THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS. The most gratifying fact of the Iato campaigns in Indians, Ohio, and Pennsylvania has been the unanimity with which Liberals of Republican and of Democratic antecedents have worked to- gether for the common success of the Liberal cause. And, now that the October fight is ended, there comes to us in each of the Democratic ad~ dresses of the three Btates a cordial acknowledg- ment that the Liberal Republicans have mede & splendid fight, and have polled a vote in all the States far more than sufficient to overthrow the previous Grant majorities and the new negro vote, provided a full Democratic vote could have ‘been polled. Nor has the fact that a full Demo- cratic vote has not yet been polled provoked any complaint from the Liberal Republicans. There are thousands of Democratic voters in Penn- sylvanin, Olio, and Indisna who in their Learts look with little better than despair on the evils of the present Administration, and yet they alone aro assuming the undivided respon- sibility of continuing those evils four years longer. This silent vote holds the balance of power in these three States, Its convictions’ and sympathies are with us, Yet to theee Democrats will Grant owe his second term if elected next month, In dealing with these dis- satisfied Domocrats, more can be gained by an honest, straightforward statement of our true position than by a cunning fraud which pretends t{o flatter their preju- dices, but really disgusts their man- hood, This is not a fight to bring into porer the old principles of the Democratic party concerning lavery or the war. To represent it as such is to impress the whole Liberal move- ment with the character of hypocrisy and fraud. If there are any minor politicians of Democratic antecedents, whose hebits and prejudices cause them to treat this campaign es the old Demo- cratic fight, to use the old party calls and catch- words, and to regard the Liberal Republicans as geins to tho old-fashioned Democracy, that is merely ono of the many misap- prehensions into which men of various Trumbull, Schurz, Blair, Brown, Palmer, and others have been? The Grant party bossts { of iis inability to be led by party hacks, and under this boast it concedes &n abject flunkey- ism to power unprecedented in our history Thev have eet oub on the principle that Grant ghades of opinion may fall concerning anew political movement. It is injurious to us, tem- porarily, becouse it repels many Republicans whose convictions are with us, and who would vote with us, but they justly object to boing rogarded a8 converts to cld-fashioned Democ- racy. On the contrary, it gains us none, for the Democrats who are with usin this movement honestly accept it for what it claims to be, viz.: & forward movement to Liberalism and notasa resurrection of the past. So the Democratic leaders, Hendricks, Kerr, Thurman, Buck- alew, Schell, and Asas Packer, all regard it, and 80 also the masses of heretofore Demo- cratic voters regard it. Let a sincere, kind, and friendly offort be made by the 800,000 Liberal Democrats of Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, within the next three weeks, to show their dis- satisfied brethren the folly they commit in giv- ing their casting votes in these three States to Grant. Lebit be urgent, but without crimina- tion, and especially without duplicity. Let it be everywhere conceded that it is & Liberal Presi- dant, and not an old-time Democratic President, that is to be elected. Such is the fact, and it is better to be defeated with the truth than to be snocessful with a lie. ME. HUNTER'S LETTER. The necessity of a change of administration to promote the business interests of the country is the subject of & letter written by the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginis, and published by the New York Herald. MMr. Hunter was former- 1y a member of the United States Senate, and was for many years Chairman of its Finance Committee. Mr. Hunter says that the Republi- can party, after the war, had tho easy task, not of imposing new, but of reducing, old taxes. No exactions should have been made beyond those necessary to pay the expense of Government, the interest on the debt, and a moderate instalment of the principal. The party, in im- Posing upon the present generation so large & share of the burden, have pursued & course un- known to nations of respectable financial au~ thority. Great Britain pursues the policy of ap~ plying surplus revenue to the extinction of oner- ous taxes,—seeking, in that way, to fortify the credit and ultimate solvency of the nation. The money left in the hands of the people increasos at more than an arithmetical ratio, and the resulting prosperity, in the long TUn, assures @ more rapid ligmide- tion of National indebtedness than could be reached through the methods of immediate exhaustion. Neither the public credit, nor sound policy, only & ridiculous vanity of. the Becretary of the Treasury for the time being, demands that the people should be burdened with oppressive taxation to redeem $100,000,000 of the dobt annually. What is worse, this drain upon the people is intensified by the most bungling system of finance ever devised by & civilized people. Exorbitant taxes are imposed wmpon articles of great domestic production, wupon the materi- als of every industry. Our ocesn shipping is vanighing from the seas; the tariff has sus- pended and outdone the Confederate cruisers. In 1860 71 per cent of our foreign commerce was carried in American vessels; in 1871 less than 38 percent. The diminntion goes on, and is dne to the tariff, which is upheld by the Secretary of the Treasury, who ignores the teaching of our history thet our commerce and shipping have risen as the tariff fell. Continue the present administration in power, and you continue this eystem which robs us of participatios in the profits of our carrying trade, and will seriously impair the trade itself. Even manu- facturers are depressed by this tariff. Underit cotton exportshavedecreased one quarter; wool- len exports 60 per cent ; that of boots and shoes more than 66 percent. Among the wool-grow- ers the tariff acts like s ‘‘rot.” The number of sheep diminishes as the duties on wool and woollens incrense. Manufactures could best be promoted by & revenue tariff that would give them their dye-stuffs and raw materials as nearly free a8 possible. This exorbitant tariff also withholds from cir~ culation large hoards of specie which it places in the hands of & reckless and unskilful Secretary, ‘whose administration of the Treseury is now made memorable by employing the public funds to help one class of the business community at the expense of another clase. Moneyed men who support the present system of financo, in the belief that it will assure the conntry stability in its currency and credit, are deeply mistaken. It taxes our fioreign commerce from the ocean ; taxes all the inrplements of ag- riculture; taxes the materials of all manufac- tures, and shuts them out of the markets of the world; and it subjects our moneyed men to the use of a currency which m:asures its volume by the discretion of a single man, and not by the demands of trade. We want not only a change of system, but a change of rulers. ‘WOMAN'S RIGHTS AND MAN'S RIGHTS. A snit, recently instituted in Baltimore, by one Jacob Lenz, against one Mary Schomm, to re- cover £8,000 damages for an alleged breach of promise of marriage, is & cheerful indication that what is sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose. From the plea filed in the case, it ap- pears that the parties had engaged themselvea in marriage ; that Jacob, like Barkis, had always been willing, and had waited a reasonable time for the unfeeling Mary to fulfil her engagement. This, however, she steadily refused to do; hence the suit, through which Jacob hopes to repair the damage done to his too susceptible heart, and to assuage the grief and mortification he naturally feels at this outrageons conduct of the fair party of the second part. While we cannot avoid the impression that Jacob has been both fond and foolish in his conduct, and ought to thank his blessed stars, if he has any, that he has escaped the vials of wrath which Schomm would eventually have poured mpon his devoted head, had he sncceeded in marrying her, still we are disposed to regard Jacob as the representative of =great social experiment. He may not be aware of the fact, but the eyes of the unmarried men of America are fastened upon him with spe- cial interest. Jacob is a Lenz which is destined either to magnify their prospects or to effectu- ally diminish them. Unknowingly, perhaps, but none the less certainly, he has propounded a great social problem, and is either to be the mes- senger of good tidings or an ill-omened raven of despair. The great question of man’s rights crystallizes in Jacob, and its solution coversmore ground, and involves greater consequences, than Jacob knows. In marriage engagements, has man any rights which lovely woman is bound to respect? Thus far, he has had none, for the reason that, untilthe time of Jacob, nomanhashadthecouragetozassertthem, but has preforred to pine away in silence, and let con- cealment like o worm i the bud, ete. Jacob, however, who is evidently a practical men, and not addicted to the poetical nonsense of most lovers, goes right straight to the root of the matter, in sturdy German fashion, and demands ‘’his damages. ‘Woman has hitherto had the monopoly of this gort of thing, and unjustly. In the present con- dition of society, and with the aids to perfection which are furnished by the Iatest mechanical ap- pliances and the newest inventions in science, the young woman of the period bursts upon the callow young man like athingof besuty andajoy forever. He discovers that she can paint a little, and talks glibly of high lightsand clare-obscure; that she is divinely fond of music, end plays Gottschall’s “Last Hope,” or sings “Non e Ver;"” that she can rattle in French and prattle in German ; that she goes to lectures and skims over metephysics and scienco; end he at once takes her to be an Admirable Crichton in petti- coats. He sees that she has an abundance of golden hair, pearly teoth, roses in her cheels, coral lips, flashing eycs, and n. rounded, symmet- rical form, and, 28 ho does not know the shop- keeper who sells these things, he imagines he has found a Venus. Ho finds that her tastes are like hig, and that she agrees with him in all things, and thoreupon he rashly comes to the conclusion that he has discovered that anomal- ous object for which ell young men search,—an affinity. Then the divinity has a mamma, and the mamma is an sgreesble, motherly, obliging person, who takes an interest in the young man, and never has the ridiculous habit of epringing ‘herself upon the young couple when they are behind the curtaing in the bey window, or taking & walkin the garden, discussing flowers, moon- light, small birds, and other pabulum upon which love is wont to feed in its pin-feathery days. The result of all this is, that the young man, before he Lknows it, has committed some rash act, which is equivalent to an engagement now-a-days. Hehas sent hisdivinity a bouquet, e has taken her to the opers, he hus sung duets with her, he has even ¢ome to breakfast some fine morning, or, worse than all combined, he has written anote to her. Then the trap is sprung on him. He is an engaged man and he don't like it, perhaps. He breaksit. Itisnow quite universally conceded in such cases that woman has the right to choose bétween threo distinct lines of conduct. She may shoot the base betrayer of her virgin hopes, get airested, become insane, get acquitted by & maudlin jury, and then go to lecturing; or she may bring a euit for damages, obtain a verdict, and go off and maxry another fellow ; or, she may go into a decline, mourn in secrecy, wear thin shoes, refuse to est, and go down to a premature grave, in burial habit @ i@ mode. Any one of these three modes of revenge is open to her. She usually chooses the second, sometimes the first, rarely the third. The first is inconveniont, the third is unprofitable, end the second pays well, and is the favorite fashion. As we have said, these three results are univer- sally conceded to belong to Womans’ Rights, and there wonld be no disposition to complain of it, if man were given an equal show. The breaches of promise are quite asfroquent- ly feminine as masculine. The man, however, who gets the mitten,—and what man has not received that interesting fingerless souvenir 7— hasnorights in the premises whatever. He is the universal butt of his fellows, and serves as food for their joculer merriment, ‘whenever they feel disposed. Under such cir- cumstances, his heart don't break wortha six- pence. If he attempts to grow pale and inter- esting, he gets ridiculed worse than ever. If he nurses & silent sorrow he gets laughed at. If he makes another marital adventure he is immedi- atoly regarded as second-hand goods or cast-off clothing. His rights in the premises are twoin number. Hecango to drinking whiskey and drown his sorrows in the flowing bowl, which usually ends in drowning him; or he can take cold poison and go off in spasms, leaving be- hind him the findings of aCoroner’s jury and a mis-spelt name in the newspapers, as well asa general reputation for idiocy. Jacob is the first man who hes taken & higher view of the question, and placed it on the basis of dollars and cents, instead of whiskey and cold poison. Jacob is evidently & thrifty, economical, and provident young fellow, who is determined not to fool away his time in loving for nothing, and 8o he has pre- sented his bill. The decision will be awaited for with anxiety by his fellow-sufferers, and, if it is given in his favor, it ia going to make lively work for the courts. Those who have no broken engagements on hand for immediate service, can find material enough for a snit in the con- tents of some old writing-desk, and sue both for direct and indirect damages, thus covering the current blight of the affections, the advantages which might have accrued in the future, and the inestimable opportunities which have been lost in the past. Jacob’s course is not to be regarded #s & mere cold formality of law, for the sake of getting £3,000 worth of consolation. He is the embodiment of a new ides, and on his fate hinges 2 great social ques- tion. In his triumph or in his defeat he settles the conundrum whether man has any rights which lovely woman is bound to respect, in the matter of marital engagements. The London Spectator publishes a sharp cor- respondence between Mark Twain and John Camden Hotten. The latteris s London pub- lisher, by birth an American. He shows his ap- preciation of his native land by republishing all the good books written on this side of the Atlan- tic. As ho steals them outright, paying nothing to the authors, he has made much money, Mr. Clemens has an arrangement with Messrs. Rut- ledge & Sons, by which they re-publish his books and pay him a copyright. Nevertheless, M. Hotten has taken his last work, has given it the atrocious title of “Eye-Openers and Screamers,” and, (worst of all) has added sev- eral chapters of shocking nonsense, which he either wrote himself or had some scribbler write or him, and which he now foists upon the public a5 part of the original book. Against this, Twvain paturally protests, but invain, The law, in England and America, justifies a pub- lisher in stealing from the authors of all coun- tries except his own, and in publishing the fruit of his theft in whatever form, condensed or en- larged, he may prefer. Education in France under the Republic and the Empire are two very different things. M. Duray, Napoleon's Minister of Public Instruc- tion, was o great stickler for uniformity. He used to boast that, at any momont of the day, he conld tell what lesson every schoolboy in France was reciting. His scheme of instruction 'was a mere machine. As long as it worked reg- ularly, he mnever asked what change it wrought in the very raw material submitted to it. M. Jules SBimon, Thiers’ Minister of Public Instruction has done away with all this. Nine years ago, when he was elected to the Corps Legislatif, he said: “Edu- cation should be the instruction of children in the pleasantest and most thorough way possible.” Heisnowin a position to put his theory into practice. A rustic schoolmaster, when asked how M. Simon's rule compared with that of M. Duruy, replied: * Well, he sends us Erckmann- Chatrian's Tales instead of ‘Telemachus,’and tellsus to mind our pupils more and politica less.” The schoolteachers were among the Em- pire’s most faithful political servants. Our Englich brethren seem to be doing far more than we to enable the working classes to better their condition. They are throwing open magnificent musoums to them ; are writing pop- ular scientific worlks for them; are trying to edu- cate, not only their children, but the men and the women themselves; and, best of all, are pro- moting co-operation by every means in their power. In thia latter, they meet with a curions oppogition. The small shop-keepers complain thatit would destroy their trade. Their feeling on the subjectis 50 bitter that Mr. Thomas Hughes’ advocacy of co-operation cost him his seatin Parliament from Lambeth. When the Civil Service clerks began to form co-operative resociations, the traders, whose business was interfered with, petitioned the Heads of the Ser- vice to forbid the formation of such societies; 80, when the poor curatestried the same thing, the tradesmen threatened to become Dissenters, Despite such selfih objections, common sense is carrying the day.

The crops had been prayed for, and blessed, and sprinkled with holy water, and they naturally grew apace. Suddenly there came thunder and hail-storms. The growing grain was crushed. The peasants of Chatre-Langlin seem to have argued: ‘We paid the Cure for getting God's blessing on our fields; somebody has cheated us; we'll avenge the wrong on the Cure.” They found him st the altar, but speedily removed him fo the gutter. Then they smashed altar and ‘priest together, maimed the stone saints sadly, wrecked their Cure's house, and started back to kill him, The police interfered in time to savehim and arrest Lis assailants.

The feeling in New Hempshire then was much like that in New Mexico mnow. The shooting &nd scelping of squaws and children are mentioned in the mont matter-of-facc way.

A Marked Decrease in the Death Rate over Previous Weeks—The Best Average Since Junc—Fourteen New Cases of Small-Pox Reported—The Slaughter Houses 1o be Inspocted. The Board of Health held a regular weekly meeting yesterdey afternoon, Inspector Hoard in the chair. The report of the Sanitary Super- intendent wes submitted. There were 155 deaths, a decrense of 39 from the preceding week. Under 5 years of age, 69 ; males, 76; fe- males, 79, Fevers caused the death of 85, con=" sumption 13, and convuleions 15. The mor- tality by wards was as follows: First, none; Second, 1; Third, 7; Fourth, 1; Fifth, 9; Sixth, 22; Seventh, 20; Eighth, 4; Ninth, 13; Tenth, 4; Eleventh. 6: Twelfth, 6; Thirteenth, 2; Fourteenth, 7; Fifteenth, 92; Sixteenth, 17; Eighteenth, 16; Nineteenth, none; Twentieth, 2. The mean temperature of the week waa 53 degrees. The Superintendent says, in his res . - marks: The DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF DEATHS, compered with the previous week, was very marked, the total being less than for any week since the middle of June. The most marked feature in the canses of death was the continued g!e\'flence of typhoid fever, although the num- er of deaths was no gresjer than last weelr. With the lowering of temperaturo, the want of drainsgn was less apparent, and it would be obe served that there was not the usual marked dif< ference in the mortalily of the respective wards SIUALL-POX CASES wero teported on West Indiana strest, Fay street, Cornell street, North Carpenter street, West ‘Tndiana streei, Archer avenue, Mather streot, Van Buren sirect, South Desplaines street, Harmon court, Fifth street, Trustea street,—to the number of 14,—a decrease from the preceding week. Several of the cases re- ported had just arrived in the city, and, in view of the prevalence of tho disease 11 neighboring cities, it wes the duty of the Board to exercisa the utmoat vigilance to prevent its spread. THE SLAUGHTER HOUSES in end around the city would soon be in tion, and he suggested that the health officer Do instructad to make a weekly report tothe . Board of the condition of each establishment, and the disposition of the offal, in addition to the report on the distilleries. Such action was _important, &s from present in- dications, the amount of slsughtering would be largely in excess of any previous ses- son, and, unless great care is oxercised, much trouble and injury would resalt therefrom next summer. Owing to the improved health of the city he wasof the opinion that the services of several sanitary policemen could be dispensed with. The report was placed on file. THE EEALTH OFFICER reported 548 nc.ices served and 485 nuisances abated ; and that he condemned $1 quartars of beef. The Commrittee, to whom was referred the . application of the proprietor of the DISTILLERY AT CLYBOURN PLACE £ for o permit to feed caitle, rgforted that 8 per- ‘mit should not bo granted until the tronghs and drains were 80 arranged that none of the offal ox swill could escape into the river, and proper ar- rangements were made forits removal.

Letter from ¥lon, Gustavas Koernere To taz Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Stz : The Infer-Ocean of yesterday published, - concerning the Railroad and Warehouse Coms missioners, a batch of most unmitigated lics. As early a8 September or October of last sear, the Commissioners caused s proceeding to ba commenced against the Chicago & St. Louis Railroad Company, in the nature of an informa. tion for quo warranto for discrimination in freight charges. The crowded state of the docket of the McLean County Circuit, end failure of counsel for the road to appear, delsyed the trislof the cage Hll spring. Arguments were heard, and the Court took the case under advisement. The counsel for the Railroad Company obtained lesve to fila additional arguments, which hsd to be ane swered, and the Court has the case still under advisement. The charge, then, thet I prevented an sppeal to the Supreme Court is utterly ground!less. ‘We proceeded, also, promptly t ware- © houses which refused to_take ont icense nnder the law, got jndgment in favor of the State, and the warehousemen took an appeal, which is now pending in the Supreme Court. We commenced _ sanother suit against ware housemen for overcharging of stor- - age, but the Court decided that there was & Erivnte remedy only, and the State had noremedy. When it waa charged that an elevator man had is- sued, fraudulently, cancelled warehouse receipts, the Commiseion cansed testimony to be collected, brought the case before the Grand Jury of Cook: County, which found for it & true bill, but re- considered the case, and failed finally to find one.
