General Longatreet has boxed the political compess, and got back into the Grant party. His note announcing his latest change is what the New York Times calls “the letterof an Ponest man.” ZLast night, the Court Houze at York, Penn- gylvania, was entered, and the Treasurer'’s ac- counts for the past six yeers, the book of rec- ords of notes issued by the county, and the Auditor's report, exposing gigantic frauds, were gtolen. The vouchers wers taken last week. PASEmE—— The Chicago money market continues very stringent; only sbont half of the banks can fully sccommodate their regular customers, and good commercial paper eells ot 134 to 2 per cent in the street. The rise in Eastward railrosd freights, which went into effect yeeterday, has bad the effect toretard the marketing of hogs and cattle, and has checked the progress toward improvement noticed in the money market & few days 8g0. The political campaign in Iilinois will close one week from next Tuesdey. There is good season to hope for the election of the Likeral Btate ticket, anfl@Libenl mejority in the Legis- latare. Our advices from the interior of the State ehow that fully four-fifths of the German vote will be cast for Greeley and Koerner, and that there are enough Liberal Republicans in {he Btate to carry it, if the same proportion of Democrats will vote here as voted in Indiana and Ohio on the 8th of October. The claims which the United States made at Genevs, on its own behalf, for the expenses of pqrsuit and the like, was dismiseed, and tho £15,000,000 which England pegs gur Govern- ment is held by itin trust for individual claim- ants. A similar fund was received from France, in 1808, for the French spoliation 'claimants, and lies in the Treasury vaults still unpaid. To avoid repetition of such injustice, a committee, it is said, will be appointed early in the session of Congress to distribute the award. The meeting last evening, at which Governor Hecdricks and Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton spoke, was very large, filling the entire Market street epace between Field, Leiter & Co's store and the Union National Bank. 1t was larger, certainly, than any meeting the Grant party in this city have been able to muster during the campaign, and wae more enthusiastic than their meetingg have generally been. It proves beyond doubt that the friends of Greeley and Eoerner have the votes to carry the city if they use due dili- gence to organize their forces, and bring out their full strength on the day of election. Three hundred horses have died in Buffalo and Rochester, in twenty-four hours, from at- tacks of the Canadian horse-disease, which a8 at first eaid not to be fatal. All the sta’jz3i%h fi Western New York are affected; the straglssyt, the livery-stables, and the express compsaiss; i of Rochester, areallat a stand-still. Ehz&isease exhibits no worse symptoms than thesoof aksd cold, and the great mortality i3 ativibated to improper treatment. The Cizeass hes aiz0 broken out at Brooklyn and Boston. Imporia- tion of horses from Canade bes hean prakdiited at Detroit. —— The movement for more greanbasts, which’ was started in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh a few days ago, seems to have come to a sudden stop. The sober sense of the commercial classes - of the country hes puta quietus upon it, ands| the movement now bears the appearance of & 1 30 gold speculation, born in Wall street, and om% out, like a foundling, “for adoption.” Howmugk favor it received ot the hands of Soazel 7 Povtwell it is not easy to say, but he wilk]:::8ly venture npon the inflation policy in cppeoition to the decisive condemnation of the business men of the country, who, although euffering from an tansnal monetary elringency, are convindod that & new issue of irredeemsble paper wowld only aggravate present evils, and pave the way for greater ones. Persons who desire to become citizens of the TUnited States, under the naturalization laws, ‘before election day, are notified that, in order to sccommodate those who have no leisure during the day, evening secesions will be held in the Criminal Court, between the hours of 7 and half-past 9. It will be remembered that, a year or two ago, the Judges of the several Courts of Record in this city agreed that naturalization shonld no longer be conducted by the Clerks of the Courts, a8 had been the custom, ‘but that it should be & judicial proceeding, attended to by the Judges in person, as contemplated by the naturalization laws of Congress. —— The trial of Thomas Oullen, aged 19 years, for the murder of James P. McWilliam-, a print- er employed in the office of the Chicago Times, was concluded yesterdsy in the Oriminal Court. After retirement of about one hour, the jury ‘brought in 8 verdict of guilty, fixing the penalty st imprisonment for life in the Penitentiary. Although the crime was one of peculiar atrocity, it waa curionsly lacking in those features which .ususlly lead to certein conviction, inasmuch as it was impossible to produce & witness to swear positively that the accused fired the shot. The evidence was wholly circumstantial, butso convincing 88 to preclude a reasonsble doubb of guilt. Yn his instructions to the jury, Judge Tree specifically charged that the plea of drunk- enness is of no effect in extennation of crime. We give elsewhere in this issue some inter- esting facts of the growth and progress of the Northwestern University at Evanston, an insti- tution thoroughly identified with our city, and located in one of our most thriving suburban neighborhoods, to which it has already secured the best featuresof an University town. An election is to take place to-dsy of & President of this euccessful seat of lesrning. 1Its past has ‘been honored by the names and standing of its former heads. It is something to remain per- manently notable in ita history that it has re- ceived on this list so distinguished a scholar and educator as Dr. E. O. Haven, and the Board of Truatees have no common responsibility de- volved upon them in naming his succeseor. The Northwestern University has been wisely man- saged, is abundantly endowed, and has & ‘brilliant {fature before it. e—————— There are large number of public journalsin this country whose editors give 8o much time to their neighbor's affairs that they cannot make good newspapers themselves. Jusb ab this time they seem to be giving most of their attention to the New York Tribune, telling how the stock- ‘holders of that paper are preparing to shake off Mr. Greeloy, in case he should not be elected President, and how Nr. Whitelaw Reid is & reed ehaken in the wind, and how subscribers ere falling off, aad adver- tisers losing coursge. To the apprehension of these little people, & newspaper with & quarter century's growth, worth & million dollars in the market, and which cannot be bought for that sum, is a thing to be blown down in & day ‘becanse an election in Pennsylvania was carried the wrong way by bribery and ballot-stuffing. The Cincinnati Commercial gives these male Mre. Grundys & ‘going over” in an article. well worth reading, which we tranefer to our columne, ——— It would appear that the very firat day of tho 1ast murder trial afforded the couczel for the defencoan opportunity for an exception thab may lead to the granting of a supersedeas from the Supreme Court if it should beccme desira~ ble,—~that mysterions instrument which has oxcited the wrath of thoee lawyers who make mistakes in trying criminala, The ex- ception, like the others which aro sueceptible of such convenient usein cages of conviction, can be traced to the State's Attorney. In this instance, it happens tobe an error in the em- panelling of the jury. In other cases, it is & flaw in the indictment, orsome otherirregu- Jarity of the prosecution on the part of the — Sfate. If the people of this community actually cherish the hope of quick punishment for crime, and dread the interference of tke supersedeas 88 much as they 'pmtcnd, would it not be wise to 2vail themselves of the means of prevention within their power, and choose a Prosecuting Attorney for the State who would frame his indictments and so con- duct his prosecutions as to render it unneces- sary for the Bupreme Court to reopen cases of plain conviction on account of manifest errors? The Chicago produce markets were rather more active yesterday, and the leading cereals were higher. Mess pork was in better demand, and prime at $15.00 for cash lots, and $12.75 seller March.

The experiment of enforcing the Sunday laws with reference to tho sale of loger-beer has now reached a crisis, in the presence of which it is well to stop and consider whether this sweeping and wholesalo innovation is not celculated to work more of mischief than good, and eventual- 1y to defeat the very end sought to be accom- plished. It must be rcmembered, first of all, that the endeavor to enforce the law, and the public opinion which has demanded its enforce- ‘ment, have not grown out of opposition to drinking beer, or any special determination that, while men mey drink on week-dsys, they shall not drink on Sundays. The first movement of popular opinion towards tho enforcement of the law commenced with the murder of Policeman O'Meara by Rafferty in o low drinking-den. Other murders and murderous. assgulis followed this in rapid succession, each baving its origin in simi- lar localities, and at last the public became alarmed for its own safety, and both the secu- lar and religions classes of the community met to connsel together in what manner this fearful increase of crimo could be stayed, end protec- tion guarenteed to people in the public streets, not only from marderously-inclined wretches, but from all eorts of criminals. At these meet- ings, and in the interviews of these Commitices with the public aunthorities, it wes universally conceded thet these murders and murderous as- gaults were immediately caused by the uee of intoxicating liquors, and that the grest majority of these crimes were porpetrated on Baturday’ nights and Sundays. Before leaving this brief record of the origin of the movement, that its character and responsibility may be exactly as- certained, it should be stated that the first proposition to close the saloons on Sundays came from the Committee appointed by the meeting known as the Greenebaum meot- ing. Mr. Greenebaum’s Committee ascertaiced from the Corporation Counsel that there was & Sunday law on the statute-books and in the city ordinances, and then urged its enforcement, and the Commiitee appointed at tho subsequent meeting of prominent clergymen and laymen emphasized the demand and morally co-operated with Mr. Greencbaum’s Committee. Concerning the origin and the object of the movement, there canbeno question. Mr. Greenebaum for the public at large, Rev. Dr. Kittredge end Rev, C. H. Fowler for the religious classes, are the spon- gors of it; its object is to suppress the alarming increase of crime, While there is no question about either the origin or the object of the movement, there ig at the same time no question that it is the duty of the suthorities to enforce any esisting law when their attention is colled to it and the pub- lic make the demand. But thero are two ways of enforcing law. It may be enforced wisely or foolighly, and especially 8o in this instance. The Sunday law will be enforced wisely if it is carried out with reference to the plain and only object of this movement, namely, the sup- pression of crime. It should operate only upon the places where crime originates, and there is no difficulty in locating theso places. The line between the places which breed crime and those which do not is drawn 8o distinctly that there is no danger of making a mistake. It is the low whiskey-dens and groggeries, and that friple combination of the restenrant, whiskey-shop, 2nd brothel, which produce theso erimes. As far as tho law is applied to these and all other places where intoxicating liquors arosold on Sunday, it is a wise enforcement. There is, however, a foolish way of enforcing the law, and one which, itis evident, must defeat the very result which it is intended to secure. ‘When the beer-saloon is included within the pro- visions of the law, and the attempt is madoe fo close them, the friends of the movement over- shoot the mark, and array a powerful public sen- timent ngainst them, which nob onlyis sureto operate against them, but may eventually pro- duce grester crimes, and amore alzyming denger to the public eafety, than those which heve threatened it for some time past. Intozicating liquors are not sold (or only ravely) at tho beer- gsloons. The records of the past twenty years show {liat crime neither originates mor results from the salo of beer. The closing of the beer- saloon, {herefore, contributes nothing toward the stoppagoe of crime, while it directly infringes upon & palpablo personal right. It is just as fcolsh to tell a German that ho shell not drink beer as to tell an American that o shall not drink coffee, or & Frenchman that he shall nob drink claret. Beer is tho national beverago of the Germen. He has drank it daily from youth up. Itis the bread and meat of the peasant, and as indispensable to him a8 water to the American laboror. No question of right or wrong is involved in its use. High and 1ow, rich and poor, children and adults, the Em- peror and the peasant, the minister and his flock, priest and bishop, eaint and sioper, all nso it alike a5 & habit and neceesity of life, week- day and Sundey, and, to say to the German thet his'daily beverage is irtosicating in character, and is flooding the community with crimes, i8 just as absurd and unjust as it would be to say to the American thet his use of tea and coffes is doleterions to the public morals, and musat, therefore, bo stopped. The enforcement of the law in such & mannor as to stop the Germen from drinking beer is not only foolish 23 invading Lis personal rights, and as contributing nothing to bring about the de- sired reform, but it is foolish, also, because it threatens the public with new dangers and se- rious disturbances of the peace. It will tend to provoke riots, and porhaps bloodshed. It will crowd our streats on Sundeys with processions, music, and banners, and noisy demonstrations. 1If beer, when paid for, makes a disturbancs, as gome of the advocatesof this movement imag- ine, what will it cause when it is distributed freely in the streets ? Apart from these con- siderations, is it wise to deliberately array the German population agaiust the American on & question of conscience, for the sake of the en- forcement of an obsolete Iaw, in & menner 8o pelpably unwise and unprofitable? There are laws of the Btate of Illinois prohibiting the tak- ing of interest beyond 10 per cent, betting on clections, cursing and swoering, selling playing- cards, owning billiard tables, and the treating of electors, none of which are enforced by the Mayor or police of the city. The same discre- tion which allows theso laws to remain upon the ‘books as dead letters can certainly and should be used in regard to the manner of enforcing the Sundaylaw. A wiso djscrimina- tion will lead to fortunate results; 2 foolish and bigoted application to unfortunate results and eventual failure, which will leave the public worge off than it was originally. These are views which we have expressed frequentlyin years past, and we see no repson to change them now. Nor have wa any desiro to make political capital out of public turmoil and eivil strifa. At the same time, we have 2 word of caution to the Gormens. In their chempionship of their rights, the duties of the good end law-nbiding citizen should not be overlooked. What- ever they may do, whatever profest they may make against tho invasion of their 1ights, let it DLe mséa within the boundaries of law ard ord Pher have it within their power to preserve their rights, and at the same time the estcom in which they ate beld as citizans, by observing tho lawa and acting without & disturbauce of the pukic peace; and, at tho same time, they have i{ with- in their power to irretricvably damage their couse and their standing in the commauaity, by following the advice of hot-hoaded demagoguos and trampling upon all laws to secare their rights in this one respect. [ A — GOVERNOR KOEENER AND THE RATLROADS. The Grant papers and small orators have bsen persistently accusing Governor Koerner with Dbaving failed, as Railioad Commissioner, to prosecuterailroads for violations of the Rail- road law of this State. When Governor Koer- nor wa appointed Commissioner, the corpora- tions of the State through alarge erray of coun- gel, endeavored to persuade him and his asso- ciato Commissionors that the Warchouse and Reilrond acts were unconstitutional, and that the Commission should not attempt to enforce them. But Governor Koernor refused to be gov- erned by this advice, as it was not for him to assume that the law undor which he held his office wzs invalid. At first he the railroads, acting under the advice of counsel, refused to make repcrts to the Commis: or to furnish the information required of them bylaw. It isdueto the firmness and vigor of Governor Koarner and his sssociates that they were eventnally compelled to do =o. In the matter of prosecutions for damage or injury to private persons, arising from over- charges and extortions, tho Commissioners have invited every person aggrieved by any offence of that kind to furnish the facts with the proof to the Commission. The law authorizes them to prosecute only in cases where the party suf- fering from an infraction of the law makes com- pleint to them in sriting. In every such caso suits have been instituted, and have been pro- gecuted as promptly as the dockets of the court would permit. The cases pending mow in the courts involve the constitutionality of the law and the power of the Stote in the premises, and wo suppose one renson why so few complaints have been made has been owing to the fact that a dccision in the one case will render suit in all others un- Tnecessary. While Governor Koerner hes been thus op- posed upon & charge of neglect of duty, here is what the Railway Review, anorgan of the rail- roads, had to say concerning kis action as Commissioner : Mir. Gustavus Eoerner, a member of the Board of Raflroad and Warebouse Commissioners of Iilinoie, and s candidate for the office of Governor of the State, addressed the citizens of Chicago a few evenings since. He hind a great doal to say about the personal clafing of the rival Presidential candidates, snd about national politics; though what sll this has to do with the merits of & gubernatorial cenvass is mot 2p- parent to tho ordinary comprehcnsion, Thero are, however, questions of conelderable importance to the State, npon which tho opinions of cae aspiring to be il Chief Executiva are by no means o matter of indiffer- ence to those who ereexpested to furnish ballots on election day. Itisamatter of great concern tovery mang citizens to kmow whether, in the event of hiz election 5 the Governorship, a candidats proposes to adopt policies of interference and repression s re- spects the intorests and agencies of transportation, trade,snd monufacture, Should amy Governor ad- minister the present code relating to railway service jn the epirit in waich. Mr | Koerer has interproted it, and with the intent which he has taken peins to proclaim as Railroad Com- ‘missioner, many of the leading interests of the peopld wouldsuffer injury very scrious if not irrcparable, It is suficiently obvious that & code under which tho total ‘suppression and destruction of the railways of the State are contemplated and provided for, may come far short of this fatal end, and still work immenso izjury. At thie same time, 5o direct is the purpose of the law, and so few and simple its provisions, looking to tho corporate destructior of the raiiways,—and on grounds and from pretexts which wouid searcely justify su ordivary ipjunction in litigation between man and man,—that it is of moment o know bow far Bir. Koerner, 55 Governor, proposes to employ 3 ‘means which he can scarcely nse at all without abus- ing. He will, if poseille, driva the railways toike wall; and do his best, or worst, to mest the flood of commerco and the progress of manufacturing indus- {ry that have falrly began to build up the Common- wealth on large and deep foundations, “ e think that Mr. Kcerner will find, Lefore the elec- tion ia over, that theso intcrests, and those represent- ing them, have rights which he is bound to Tespect— at the bellot-box, If nowhere else, He will not find mony men engaged in pursuits of {ransportation, commerce, end manufacture, who will so etullify themeelves as fo vote for his elevation to the bad cmi- nence to which bo aspires, - Governor Koerner, a3 Railroad Commissioner, has discharged hia duty fairly and oxecuted the law fearlessly, and tho question asked by the Railway Review, whether he will, as Governor, continue to enforce and executo the law, may be considered as anewered by his conduct as Com- missioner. He holds that it is not his business to declare the lawsa nullity, but to enforce them to their full estent, fairly, honestly, and rigorously. The railroads, snd the people of this State, will find him faithful to every duty portaining to his ofiice and imposed on him by thelow. If they want anything different from this, they ehould vote against him, A San Fraucisco despateh, in our last issue, states that the latost advices from Idsho rop- resent that a gercral outbreak of the Indians is imminent, and & New York despateh, in tho same column, seys thet it is generelly believed that another change in the Indian policy of the Government is impending. Considering the character of the fisab announcement, the second is peculinrly grateful. Any change which will despetch some more of these noble red-skins to their happy hunting grounds, sither by whole- eale or retail, will be heartily welcomed. At the same time, the regularity with which it is an- nounced every time the Indians bresk out afresh that the policy of the Administration I8 to be changed, is both refreshing and remarkable.

Coroner Stephens held an inqueat, yesterday, on the body 6f Willjar Finn, who committed suicide st the County Hospital, of which he had been aninmate for some timle. Decensed was beiug tronted for consumption, but, as hisre- covery was deemed impossible, he decided to end hislife rather than live in misory for a few months at the farthest. During the temporary abacnce of his nurse, he stabbed himself in the throst with s pocket-knife, inflicting wound from which hie died in a few hours. An inquest waa also held on the remains of o woman named Mazia King, at No. 345 Fourth avenue.

I S s Authentic—Temporary Suspension of Work on the St. Pauxl and Pacific Branches. ‘We have refrained from alluding to the fact that orders have been issued for the temporary suspension of work on the branch line of the St. Paul & Pacific, for the reason that for the last dey or two the President of that company, Mr. Becker, wes in hourly expectation of receiv- ing advices from Earope which would make guch ‘an announcement premature. It was confidently expected yesterdsy thst the order for the temporary discontinmance of the work on these roads wonld be rovoked; but as we have not been advised, befora going to prass, that this hes been done, ‘Wwe can see no further reason for postponing the announcement that work on these roeds hasbeen discontinued, probably for the season, Thisfect has given rise to all sorts 6f absurd rumors on the streets, in which some one or two hundred different and equally groundless reasons ere . given for this proceeding. The simple fact, 33 we are informed, is that the suspension of work is oceasioned only by & temporary misunderstand- ing between the Europesn financiel agents of the 8¢. Pan] and Pacific Company a8 to the terms of tho agreement on which the bonds were negoti- ated. In consequence of this misunderstanding the transmission of the money realized om the sale of the bonds, and required for the comple~ tion of the work, has been postponed untila satisfoctory adjustment shall heve been arrived at. As the beginning of the month found the difficulty unadjusted, and the required fands still locked up in the squabble between the Eu- ropean parties, while only some four weeks of the season remained, Mr. Becker fourd it neces- sary to order & suspension of the work till this koot shall be untied. . The street gossips, with that marvellous facil- ity of confounding things which heve no con- nection, for which street gossipa are famous, have been quite busy fortwo or threo daya in circulating the story that the Northern Pacific Company had suspended work for want of fands. This effort of invention or blunder of misinfor- mation is wholly groundless. The Korthern Pa- cific Company have never dreamed of suspends 4ing work on the road. The Northern Pacifioand St. Paul & Pacific Companies aro totally distinct but affliated corporstions, drewing their fands from totally different sources, eech on & totally Gifferent besie. The preeent diffculty inno- wise concerns {_e Northern Pecifie, except as it may delay their connections with the St. Paul & Pacific. And asthe work of construction would have terminated at any rate for this sea- son early in Kovember, all the St. Peul & Pa~ cific loses by the proceading is_about a month's time. If anybody supposes thet the great 2sso- ciation of wealthy capitalists who have already $20,000,000 invested in the St. Paul & Pacific are going to stop the work now when a few hundred thousand dollara is all that is necessary to com- plete it and secure the grant on which these bonds are based, he must be & very foolish indi- vidual, to say the least.—St. Paul Press, —_———————— No. 376 State.
