Deposits in banks here do not incresse much, because the money collected in the conntry is going forward to New York. — The President has signed the proclamation imposing #n additionsl end discriminating duty of 10 per cent on all goods and merchandise im- ported into the United States in French vessels from countries other than France; said duties to be collected 80 long as France imposes such duties upon imports in American veszels. The steamship Missouri sailed from Now York toHavana on Oct. 17, and has been re- ported migsing. An arrival from Nassau states that she was burned at ses, and that of all on board only twelve persons are known to be saved. Scventy-nine lives are believed to have been lost ; among them the Captain and all but five of the crew. The Tennessee State Democeratic Committes believe that Cheatham has votes enough to elect him Congressman-at-Large over Johnson or Moynard, but fear that the resulbof the dis- tracting independent movements will be the loss of several Liberal Congressmen and members of the Legislature, unless tho party strength is concentrated upon Tegular nominees. The Grant Committees in New York have sent & circular to all of the American Ministers and Consnls abroad assessing them for cempaign purposes. The work of confiscation of salaries has never been so unblushing and degrading as it ias been gince the issuing of the President’s order that no such assessment ghould be made. There is not an office-holder in the country who has escaped, and it is probable that evory ono who has refused or omitted to pay will be re- moved. We commend the speech made by Judge Trambull last night, at Seramor Hall, to the careful reading of all persons who have been accustomed to hear or road the speeches'of dis- tinguished Grant orators and others. The speech sparkles at every point. It tells ihe story in plain words how grave Senators, pious bankers, and exemplary insurance Treasurers will depart from the truth when the exigencies of party demand it. A special meeting of the Westorn Associated Press was hold in this city, yesterday, attended by leading members of the press of Cincinnati, t. Louis, Lonisville, Pittsburgh, Dotroit, and Chicago, and & conference held here through a committes, with Hon. W. E. Orton, President of tho Western Union Telegraph Company, and General Anson Stager, its General Superinten- dentin this city, on the subject of the fariff on special despatches from points on the seaboard. The entire discussion was in & spirit which will strengthen and develop the relations of the press and the telegraph, and further the advan- tages the public derives from both. In consequence of widespread misapprehen- sion of the bearing of the recent decision in the United States Circuit Court at DeslMoines, con- cerning the Republic Fire Insurance Company of Chicago, the Court make s public statement that the only point decided in the case was, that the Company could not maintain this action against a stockholder for the unpaid stock held by him, because such personal liability attaches, according to the charter, only on assessments made, because the losses by fire exceed the means of the Company, which was not the pretest for the asseesment on which this action was based. During the last year there have been many ‘hundreds of persons charged with robbery, gar- Toting, personal violence, burglary, and larceny who have been arrested by the police, and in- dicted by the Grand Jury, and released on bail. Ot this number, perhaps 800 have forfeited theirbail; but Mr. Reed has never prosecuted the bail-bonds, nor has he caused the arrest of any of the indicted criminals, many of whom are taking an active partin this election. We print a list of ninety-one cases of this kind, the list covering only & portion of the year. The {rands committed in San Francisco & year ago, where 1,200 men, on the eve of the election, were put at work in the Navy Yard, and then on election day given the Republican ticket, printed on stiff cards which could not be folded, and thus compelled to vote it, are being repeat- edon a larger scale. Several thousand extra men were put at work in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, just before the election, and used for the same purpose. [t is now announced that 8,000 men have been employed in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, preparatory to voting them next Tueedsy. Thereis no pretonce that there is any work for these men to do; they get & week's wages for political labor outside, and will be discharged after the election. —— Over three hundred horses in Chicago, and forty at Evanston, are sick with the horse-dis- ease. A large number of the animals of the West Side Railway Company are affected, &8 are all those st Parmelee’s stables. Fifty belonging to the West Side Omnibus Line are under treat- ment, and tho disease is spreading among the private stables. All the siables in town have been ordered by Dr. Rauch to be disinfected, and the Tlinois Humane Society has givennotice that it will arrest apy person using a diseased horse. Prudential motivesalone should restrain ‘Thorse-owners, as it is eaid that the disease, if the animal be overworked, runs into a fatal form of the glanders. Elsewhere, the disorder rages as before; in Now York there were nearly one hundred deaths yesterday. The curious state- ment comes from New Jersey that fifty cows have died of & similar complaint. Tt has been generally egreed to suspend all pusiness in New York City on election day, in order to give a full opportunity to everybody to vote. i General Garfield said in his specch, on *Change, st Cincinnati, yesterdsy, that the Sec- retary of the Treasury hasno power to reissue the 944,000,000 of greenback reserve. e ‘Thomas Hurley, who shot John Flanagan, alias John Patterson, on the 3d of September last, which oceurrence is mown as tho Canal street homicide, was yesterday convicted in the Crim- inal Court, the jury fixing the punishment at imprisonment in the Penitentiary for 17 years. Some eight thousand families, numbering fifity thousand persons, of the Jews of Rouma~ niz, who have of late suffered so cruel persect- tions in their native province, desire to fonnd a colony in the United States, and would like the ZLand Office to give thien Litle to 250,000 acres in ome tract. . The Chicago money-market prosents a more favorable aspect. Collections in the country are jmproving, and the remittences of merchants to —rn We believe that the public will re2d with ani- versal regret the announcement of the death of Mrs. Horace Greeley. After a lingering and painful illness, Mrs. Greeley breathed her last at 4 o'clock yesterdsy morning. She has been an invalid for many years, and, though posses- sing the sdvantage of the best ‘medical treat- ment, and the necessary change of climate in extensive travel, she was forced to succumb to the insidions disease which had attacked her. Her loss will be a severe shock to AIn Greeley, whobas always held the associations of domestic life to be the dearest and most sacrod of sll. Mrs. Greeloy leaves three daughters, who will grace her memory, and one of whom, at least, has sttaincd accomplishments that will ‘malko a mark in both society and literataro. Mr. Greeley was o constant and untiring attendant gt his wife's bedside up to the last moment. The prosecution in Mayor Hall's caso, in Now York, doos not seem to have been very success- ful. It bas proved (and the facts were ad- mitted) that the bills made out against the city were donbled and quadrupled in order to de- fraud the city; that these bills were sudited by a Board, of which the Mayor wes officially a member, and that, as Magor, he signed the war- rants for the payment of the money. The Court has decided that, as Mayor, he had no discretion a3 to signing’ warrants for bills when passed by the Auditing Board. The evidence is so strong that Hall had nothing personally to do with anditing the bills that the prosecution is now claiming that he is responsible, because he neg- lected to do s0. Tljere is no pretence thet Hall, in any way, shared in the robberies, or was auything but a contemptible tool used by others. Ho far his neglect or omission to take part in anditing the bills leaves him logally responsible for the frauds, is o matter yet fo be decided by tho Court. Morally he is as guilty ns any of them. Commissioner Davenport, in New York, is rap- idly emning the honor of being the most dis- reputable partisan in office. He'sends an officer into any house he chooses, to inquire of a man’s wife the perticulars of his business, and, if she excludes tho ruffian, Davenport issues 2 warrant for her arrest, or the arrest of her husband. He claims to have this authority under the act of Congress. It is hardly necessary to say that no anthority exists, under any sct of Congress, to anthorize any officer to enter any house and compel the inmates to tell him where, when, or how long any person has resided in any place, or what such person’s business is, or anything else. This kind of despotic espionage should be brought to a stop by the arrest, conviction, and punishmont of Davenport and his subalterns. The Chicago produce markets wero modorately active yestordsy, aud averaged s littlo highor in price. The shipping movement was slow. Hless | pork was quiet and stendy at 915.00 for old; $14.00@14.25 fornew; and $12.625¢@12.75 seller Decomber. Lard was quiet and steady at 7%@ 73{c per b, cash; 78{c scller Docember; and 73{@17%c seller March. Meats were dull and steady on new, at S¢ for part salted shouldors, 8c for do short ribs, and 84/@83¢e short olear. Highwines were in fair domand, and firm at 89c per gallon. Lake freights were less active, but 1c higher, at 14c for wheat, and 13¢ for corn to Baffalo. Flonr was dull, but stecady. Wheat wasmore active, and 1chigher, closing at $1.0834 cash; $1.073@1.07% scller November; aund $1.07% seller December. Corn was dull bub steady, closing at 803c for seller the month, and 30%@803{c soller November. Oats were less active, and I{c higher, at 204¢c seller the month, and 203@21c sellor Novembor. Rye was quiet and 34c higher, at 5lc for car lots. Barley was active, but 3{c lower, closing firm at 6234c for No. 2, and 49c for No.8. The hog trade was active, and prices further advanced to the ex- tent of 10@15¢, sales making at $4.20@L.75. There was more life in the cattle trade, without improvement in prices. Shoep were dull and unchanged. There was considerable consternation yester- day in the New York stock market, and a feeling of genoral insecurity concerning railroad prop- erty, caused by the announcement that the Directors of the New York Central Railroad had anthorized the issue of 240,000,000 in new stock or bonds,—the alleged object being the laying of additional tracks. This intelligence was followed by the announcement that the floating debt of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company was 80 great that the Directors hod authorized the issue of £10,000,000 additional bonds. To this it was added that the Directors of the Chi- cago & Rock Island Railrond Company had also authorized the issue of additional bonds to the sum of $10,000,000. This addition of $60,000,000 to the debts and liabilities of these throe railway companies had a depressing effect upon the whole stock market, quotations falling from { to 234 cents. It was also understood that the St. Panl & Pacific Reilroad, which is leased to the Northern Pacific, wasin trouble; the laborers on the road having suspended work ‘becanse of large srrearages of pay. How far the necessities of these companies are felt by other railways is not disclosed, and hence there wasa slight panic in stocks. Money loaned to dealers in fancy stocks has been called in, asif more gerious tronbles wera looked for. If half of this money were loaned to the mercantile commu- nity for legitimate business, it would make littlo difference how savage a panic the stock-gam- blers might get into. THE CAMPAIGN. The New York Herald thinks thet, motwith- standing the Penneylvania and Obio elections, Greeley's chances of cerrying New York are bet- ter than Grant's. This is the testimony of an unprejudiced and well-informed observer, and ghould inspire the Liberals of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin to diligent and unremitting exer- tions during the few daya that remain for work. ‘We believe that Governor Koerner and the Lib- eral State ticket will be elected in Illinois. Itis certain that thirty or forty thousand Germanvotes ‘heretofore cast for the Republican nominecs at all clections, will be transferred to the Liberal ticket next Tuesdsy. This is sufficient to give the Electoral vote of Illinois to Greeley and Brown, if the Democrats go to the polls even in the same numerical proportion as in Ohio and Indians, There still remains a large Liberal Republican vote, of American and Scandinavian descent, to be thrown into the balance. There has been no abatement of the attondance at the Liberal meetings in any part of the State. The crowds that have assembled to hear Senator Trumbull, Governor Palmer, Gov- ernor Koerner, Mr. Hendricks, and the other speskers now canvassing the State have been even greater than before the October elections, and the enthusiasm has in no degreo abated. We thorefore tell our friends everywhere to be of good cheer, and to work faithfully to the end. The Grant party in Illinois are alarmed at the evident danger of losing the State, and have sent pressing appeals to Cook County on that pubject. They are fully persuaded that if they Iose this county the State will go against them. There is o Legislature to be elected next Tuesday, upon which will devolve the choice of a Senator of the United States. Among all the ‘men who have deserved well of their contempo- raries and of posterity by refusing to say that black is white, in obedience to Executive desires end cnnens despotism, Lyman Trumbull stands pre-eminent, To himself it can be a matfer of little moment whether he is returned to the Senatc or mot. He could achicve no higher fame among American statesmen than he has already mequired. His reputation rests upon a securo foundation, and when the present spasm of partisan rageshell have passed avway, it will bo scknowledged by all fair-minded men that he has acted a most noble and honora- ble part in setting himself against the corrup- tions of the party to which he belonged, and in declaring that he would not be responsible for them by helping to re-clect the men who have sanctioned them. One such example is worth more then & Senatorship or a Presidency. The State of Ilingis hes been proud of | Lyman Trumboll in the past, and ought | to be prouder of him now than ever before. One of the questions presented to the peopls at the present time is whether they will ex- | *change Senator Trumbull for *Dick”: Oglesby, or Dick anybody else. We have one ‘ring- tailed squealer ™ in the Senate from Hlinois now. Do we want two? i - The principles we contend for will outlast the presont struggle. Very few of the supporters of Grent will vote for him becanse of any liking they havo for him or his doings. “Most of them | detost his San Domingo performance, his Lieet & Stocking job, his nepotism, his policy toward the South, his personal government, his low grade of appointments, his disregard of law. At all events, they have few apologies to offer for them. They expect a breaking up of parties during the next four years. Why should it not comenow? Is it likely that Chandler, Morton, and Cameron, the ruling spirits of the party, will reform things to their own disadvantage if they ero successful now ? On the contrary, there is every reason to believe that the evils which drove Sumner, Trambull, and Schurz out of the Republican ranks will be multiplied from this time forward, and that shoer self-respect will force out of the party a multitude of men in publicandprivatestation whohave put the brakes on their indignation this year, becanse they fancied that there was still some remnant of danger to the blacks. The Liberal party is the place to which must gravitate all the progressive elements of society. It is the only party which hasa fature grounded upon the présanb needs of the country, and looking forward to s higher standard of public morality and responsibility. Let us give it, therefore, in the coming election, our manliest efforts, and trust to the intelligence and virtue of the people to rescue the Republic from a party despotism utterly crushing to indi- vidual manhood, and fraught with all the dan- gers that spring from a stifling of private con- Beienco. A WOED T0 BUSINESS MEN. The duty of voting is one that no citizen has aright to neglect, In this city there is great danger that business men, pressed by the work of rebuilding, or harassed by the prevailing stringency in money matters, may turn over the duty of looking after the election to the class that make politics a profession. Indeed, those who habitually neglect to vote are those moat deeply interested in good government, and who guffer most from bad government. Malfeas- ance in office, local and nntional, is largely duo to the carelessness and indifference of intedli- gent voters. There would be no difficulty in having a respectablo and honest Board of Aldermen in the City of Chicago, if tho respectable and honest voters would go to the polls on election day, and vote for the proper candidates and against all others. The registry books closed last night, lenving the names of, possibly, 10,000 persons not recorded. While the registration is not final, and these persons may, at the polls, establish their right to vote, the danger to socicty is that they will not do so. The election next week is for President and membors of Congress, and & State Government including an entire Legislature. In addition, we have to elect one-half the Board of Aldermen for the government of the city, and s majority of the Board of County Commissioners. The good or evil government of this city and county, for the next year, depends upon the fidelity of the peo- ple to their own interests in tho choice of these officers. We have to elect the men who are to exerciso the power of levying taxes, and who are to oxpend the revenue, and certainly every man ought to feel sufficiently interested in this matter to go to the polls. The greatest danger which threatens the Liberal ticket in this city and county is that the voters will not attend the election. There are thousands of wofkmen engaged in all parts of tho city, at points remote from the polls ; these men are mainly supporters of the Liberal cause. It will be too late for them to vote after closing their work, and some means should be provided whereby they can have the opportunity to cxpress their choice both as to rulers and to public policy. As there appears to be some doubt as to who i8 entitled to voto, we again cite the law on that point: Every male citizen of the United States, over 21 years of sge, who shall have resided 1 the State one year, in the county 90 days, and in the olection district 30 dnys prior to the day of election, or who was a voter in this State before April 30, 1348, is entitled to vote, and no others. The law defines any precinct to be an election district. Whero new precincts have been cre- ated, the voter must have resided in tho terri- tory embraced therein 80 days prior to the election. There is in the minds of some per- sons an idea that no person can lose his vote for President by change of residence, but the quali- fications of voters for President are in no re- spect different from those voting for other officers, and oll must have the residence re- quired by law. Lot every person, thereZore, entitled by law to vote, exercise his right and perform his duty on election day, and to the verdict thus fairly and ‘honostly expreseed there will beno objéction. THE HORSE-DISEASE. The annual report of the Commissioner of Agriculture contains some valusble mattor touching tho disease which is now raging among the horsos of this country, showing its origin, and tho liability of man and other animels to tako it by contagion. According to the authori- tyof the Commissioner, tho Epizootic Apthm, though prevailing in Central Europe for nearly two centuries, reached Great Britain only in 1839, Denmark in 1841, and Americain 1870. His testimony shows that the disense was firat brought from Europe by catile, which were shipped from England in August of that year, and spread it among the Canadian cattle. At different times in the Ilatter part of that year it was brought into Duchess County by droves from Albany, and spread wide- 1y thonce through New York and into Massachu- getts. The Commissioner asserts that the only cause of itself capuble of transmitting the dis- ease is the contact of a soundunimal with an an- imal diseased, while the indirect means for the diffusion of the virus are the sccumulation of cattlein large fairs or markets, and the travel of stock by rail and road. According to the best testimony, this virus can be carried on the clothes, boots, and hands of men, in bundles of hay or straw, and may be preserved on the walls, floors, mangers, and drinking-troughs of stables, and moy even be carried on the legs and bodies of dogs, chickens, and rats, which may themselves escape the disease. That the discase may be trensmitted to other animals besides cattle and horses is proved by the testimony of all the writers since 1695. In young animats, feeding exclusively on “milk, i .uperinduces diarrhea and inflammation of the stomach and bowels. It has been frequently notitedin chickens, and dogs ‘and cats, after drinking milk, have been observed to have it. Its transmission “to. man hes . also been moticed during every grest out~ break of. the disease, and casos were observed in New York in 1870. Its symptoms in man are elight feverishness, and the formation, on the tongue and inside the cheeks, 6f small blisters. The Commissioner, whilo he states the accessories of the disease, unfortunately suggests no remedios for it,—n neglect which is 21l tne more to be deplored in that the disease has nowmade its appearance in this city, and the wet weather which hes set in. will undoubt- edly tend to aggravate if. B e s—— THE OPERATIC WAR. The contest between Lucca and Mellinger in Berlin, which led to the departura of the former from that city to the United States, has evi- dently broken out afresh, in another shape, in New York, Kellogg taking the place of Mallin- ger. The communication of & correspondent in our last issme foreshadows this condition of things, although he attributes the failure of the season in New York, which has been generally conceded by the press, to areason which does not apply in the premises. The fact of & jeal- ousy between Lucea and Kellogg is apparent enough; but the cause of the failure is not attributable to this, but to the weakness of the rest of the troupe, as we have already stated. Our correspondent in question has thoroughly misapprehended the tenor. of our article on this subject. We did not attribute the failure of the season either to Lucca or Kellogg, but to the fact that, beyond these two artists, there was nothing in the Lucca-Maretzek troupe to commend itself to popular favor. ‘With respect to the contest between Lucca and Miss Kellogg, whichis only an episode of the season, we think Miss Eellogg has been unfor- tunate. There is roomenough in the repertoire for each of these ladies to pursue her own course without interfering with the other. 1Miss Kel- logg wes set down for the lighter works, like “Trg Diavolo,” * Traviats,” ¢ Sonnambula,” ete., and in these she did not need to fear com- petition. Miss Kellogg fills one place, and Lucca another. Miss Kellogg is a pretty and nice little mezzo-soprano vocalist, admirably adapted to light parts, like the Amina of *Son- nambula,” or the Zerlinas of “Don Giovanni” and “Fra Diavolo.” TLucca aspires to heavier roles, and has the dramatic ability to fill them, ~ whatever may be gaid technically of her voeal ability. For Kellogg, theretore, to be jealons of Lucesin her roles, 18 a5 absurd a8 it would be for Lucea to be jealous of Kellogg in hers, while it is equally absurd for our correspondent to claim that the management of the troupe is attempt- ing to sacrifico Kellogg to Lucea. The manage- ment cannot do without either of them. If one or the other of them were out of the troupe, what little interest centres sbout it would be irretrievably Iost. It is not likely that the management would ‘have made its contract with Kellogg, months before the eeason commenced, and introduced her in London, if it had been prej- The mistake that Kellogg has made is in attempting to compete with Lucea in roles for which she is in every way unfitted,—the same mistake which she has made before with Nilsson and Parepa. Kellogg has her place and Lucca hers, cnd there s nothing = in the respective situations which meed bring sboat 8 collision or intorfer- ence, and the respective friends of Lucca and Kollogg ere unwise in instituting comparisons, or pitting the one against tho other. This un- fortunate rivalry, however, as we hLave said, is only an incident of the season. Nothing that our correspondent has offered induces to changd our opinion that the festure of the season, which is universally acknowledged by the New York press, and by connoisseurs who are competent to judge, grows out of the fact of the mistaken policy, on the part of its mansgement, of making the season dependent npon the exertions of one or two members of the troupe, rather than upon the completeness of the general ensemble, Such acourse is simply suicidal. It has failed in all past reasons, and it will fail for all time to come. 1t has done more than all else combined to make Italian opera unprofiteble, end it will continue todoso. The unfortunate war between Lucca and Kellogg is none the less to be deplored, as it only adds force to the other causes which are operating against the only season of opera which we had expected would have added to the general enjoyment of the present season of amusement. THIERS AND PRINCE NAPOLEON. According to & Washington despatch, the President has congratulated M. Thiers upon the success of the French Republic. The step which the American President has taken must have been induced by ome of two reasons: either ho has misunderstood the success of the French Ropublic, or he has recognized in -the iden of military force, which is all that gives the French Government stability and coherence, the true secret of Republican success. One recent episode in the history of M. Thicrs’ experiment is o suficient test of _this success, and will raise a very well-grounded question whether there is sany sepecial cause for congratulation in the premises, least of all from & country where the civil power is in reality the only basis of good government. We refer to the expulsion from France of Prince Napoleon and ‘his wife, the Princess Clothilde. A letter which the Prince has recently addressed to M. Grevy, President of the National Assembly, and the Permanent Committee, protesting against his expulsion, and declaring his intention to ask for reparation from the competent suthorities, sets ter of M. Thiers’ action, and shows that his rep- resentations to the Permanent Committee, that the Prince had come to France to surrep- titiously conspire with M. Rouher, the ex- Minister of Foreign Affairs, and that his journey had o seditious intent, were either the outgrowth of personal hate or that he ook counsel of his fears. The Prince, in this letter, which is a very plain, modest story, shows that heisa French citizen in the full enjoyment of civil and political rights, and a Councillor Gen- eral for the Department of Corsica. In 1871, being out of French territory proper, he com- from the French Consul General at Gene7s, Who gronted him one after consulting wich the Generel Government, which bore the words : «Qood for France. Delivered by order of the Government, 15th October, 1871, valid for one year.” Armed with thispassport, hemade frequent visits to France during the year, without inter- forence, and gelying on this right, which had udiced sagainst her in favor of Lucea. forth the capriciousness and groundlesa charac- |- plied with the laws, snd asked for a passport’ frequently_ been recognized by the Govern- ment, he left Neuchstel, Oct. 8, in company “with his wife, to visit & friend in France, for the purpose of fixing upon & school in. ‘which to edu- cate his children. While staying at this coun- try house, he was visited by the principal Secre- tary of the Profect of Police, with an edict from the Minister of the Interior, ordering him to bo taken back to the frontier. Tho Prince closes his lettor with these words : ‘Yo see, sif, that » French citizen mot within the purview of any cxceptional Inw, has been violently ar- Tested ; o Councillor-General is- prevented from 50~ Journing in France; and, in a wdrd, that I am the vic- tif of an odious, arbitrary act. Moreover, Tam war- ranted, o5 I told the Minister of the Interior's agent, in considering myself as having been led into o trap, since the Government gavemo & regular document, authorizing my entry into Framce, and hes mever .fuiled to bo infomed by dts agents of my whercabouts. My political conduct, al- woys moderate, has never given' the Govern- ment the slightest pretext for incrimination, and I defy it to frame 4 chargo againstme, supported by any law whatsoever. In truth, the name of Napoleon, which T have the honor to bear, 15 my only crime in theesesof the Government. * * % I leave France with a bitterness of soul vhich I cannot con- ceal, and I heroby put upon record that my wife, who was respectfully treated by tho rioters of Scpt. 4, Who honored her for going away voluntarily, is now sent out of Franco guarded by the gendarmes of the Con- servative Republic, Disarmedas I am, and yiclding to force, Tappeal to the sovereign of us all—universal suffrage and tho national will. It only 0dds to the arbitrary character of this act of DI Thiers, that the Prince Napoleon is representod to be by no means s dangerous man, Hehes no party among civilians, and is unpopular with the army. He was travelling with passports, granted to him by the Govern- ‘ment, which he had frequently used before. If M. Thiers had really belioved him to be con- spiring witki Rouher and others, it was easy for him to secure his arrest, bring him {o trial, and then punish him with banishment. Further- ‘more, the question naturally suggests itself, if he believes that 3. Rouher is a fellow-conspira- tor with the Prince, why M. Rouher is not also banished. There does not seem to be any argument which can justify such an arbitrary proceeding. The right of 3. Thiers, because the deposition of «Napoleon IIi. was voted, to prohibit all his relations from living in France, can never be sustamned, nor can it be anything but the most remarkable inconsistency to allow the Prince to sit as & Councillor Gen- eral in & French Depariment and then benish him because he is found in another part of France. There can be but one inference drawn from this arbitrary act, and that is, that M. Thiers is afraid of the name of Napoleon, and both the English and German press regard the matter in this light. There can be mo doubt that he has made = tremendous mistake, which does him discredit, and must re- act upon himself, while, at the same time, it elevates the Prince Napoleon to 2 position of popularity, in France and elsewhere, which he could not heve obtained otherwise. In visw of these circumstances, does the success of a Re- public, so insecurely grounded thatit fears the influence of & name, and which holds itself to- gether by military force, call for congratulation from the President of & Republic which is pre- umed to be administered upon the basis of law and civil rights ? The National Burezu of Education issues its # Circular of Information of the Burean of Edu- cation for March, 1872, six months after date. Tt contains three pepers, not one of which is of any present or future, practical or theoretical, value in the elucidation of the educational problems of the day. Their titlesare: “1. An inquiry concerning the vital statistica of col- loge graduates, 2. Distribution of college students in 1870-71. 8. Fagts of vital ‘ztatistics in the United States, with tables and diagrams.” The first paper is based Wholly upon the records of four colleges out of the 363 inthe United States, one-ninetieth of the number. The last is simply'a_rearrangement of facts from the varions censuses which havebeentaken. The im- becility of the papers is hopeless, snd it may not inappropriately be asked, Who will educate the Bureau of Education? Here is a sample of the statistical information which the circular so Iaboriously gives : Of tho 5216 cases (of graduates) reported from these colleges, we find that more than twice 85 many were born in' Mlaseachusetts 18 in Cannecticut ; that New Hampshire produced more than Connecticut; {hat about five-sevenths of the whole number were born in New England, and nearly one-eighth in New ¥. Four men born in Connecticut went to Har- vard, and 9 to Dartmouth, while 254 born in Massa- chusotis, and 34 born in’ New Hampshire, went to Yale; 8¢ New Hampsire men went to Harvard and 209 Massachusetts men went to Dartmoutb, and about 7 per cent of those born in Vermont to Dartmonth, The truth is, the Government has no business to assume such functions. There is not a first- class newspaper in the country that cannot, and does not, do mora for the diffusion of educa- tional information then this Weshington Bureau will ever accomplish. ) POLITICAL.

Special Despatch to The Chicago_ Tribune, New Yomg, Oct. 80.—Advices from London to-day were more favorable, money being easier and securities higher, particularly United States bonds. A reduction in the rate of the Bank of England to-morrow would not be a surprise. Money was active during the morning-at7 currency to 7gold for call Ioans, but easierin the afterncon and declined to 8 per cent. The Clearing House statoment this morning shows an extraordinary movament, three large banks being creditor of something over $4,000,000.
