Emperor William charges nothing for ‘his ser- vices in the San Juan arbitration. —— Chief Justice Chase’s health will probably compel him to leave his seat on the Supreme Court Bench for a time. No bail has been offered in behalf of Mrs. Voodhull or Mies Claflin, except that of George Francis Train, which was refused. \ No oven violation of the Sundsy lsw was de- tecied vesierdsy, and not more than thirty sa- Juon-keepers are believed to have sold liquor se- G — Tur TRIGUNE gives its Teaders this momiog & presentment of the facts and possibilities of our pteam railway system, illustrated by & map of Chicago and its environs.

The existing embargo on street hauling enforces the neces- sity of its early adoptio A correspondent of the New York Herald, de- tailed to work mp the politics of Illinois, ex- presses the opinion that the Electoral vote of the State will be given to Grant, that Koerner will be elected Governor, and that the Legislature will be carried by the Liberals. While the rite of baptism by immersion was being administered in the Baptist Church at Evanston, yesterdsy, the floor gave way under the crowded congregation, who were precipi- iated fourteen feet, into the basement. Two ‘persons were injured seriously, but not fatally. Commandor Selfridge, of the United States Navy, who, in his survey three years ago of the Isthmus of Darien, found a route for & ship cu- nal that would cost only £84,000,000, has under- taken a new expedition, in the belief that a still cheaper path can be chosen. The resulte of his explorations will be known in June. The choice for Congress in the Second Dis- trict is between Carter H. Harrison and Joseph D. Ward. We have heretofore referred to the public history of these two gentlemen. If elected, Mr. Harrison will represent the city and its interests, while Mr. Ward will represent the office-holders, the office-seekers, and him- self. Onewill represent the interest of the taxpayers; the other will represent the men among whom the taxes are divided. ‘On our third page will be found s fall list of all the State, Congressional, and Legislative candidates to be voted for in Illinois to-morrow, the State and Congressional tickets in all the other States, and tables of the votes of every State for President in 1868, together with tle votes in the latest elections held since that year. These tables have been prepared with great care, and will be found by those interested in election returns valuable for reference and preservation. The Liberal electors of the Third Congres- sional District should make it their duty to-mor- row to vote for Mr LeMoyne, who is far supe- rior to his competitor in all the qualities that are needed in an intelligent, influential, and creditable Representative in Congress. It is perfectly safo to eay that if Mr. Lelloyne had been the candidate against Mr. Farwell two years 270, he would have besten him by ten thousand votes. Ho can defest Mr. Farwell to-morror, unless the Eighteenth Ward is bought away frem kim with money. In the elections just held in England, general dissatisfaction with the now Licensing act, regu- Iating the liquor ératlic, has given the Conserva- tives & number of additional members of Par- lisment. It was this act which led, recently, to serious riots in Liverpool, and caused the with- drawal of Thomsas Hughea from the canvass on account of the unpopularity of his course in its support. Voting was by ballot instead of rica toce, and was somewhat embarrassed Ly unfa- miliarity with its methods. We again call upon the Liberal voters in the First Congressional District to remember that they will have it in their power, to-morrow, to elect Judge L. B. Otis to Congress. All thatis required to elect him is that the Liberal vote be polled in its full strength. The canvass of the district shows that all that is needed isafull Liberal vote iu the Third and Fourth Wards. If these districts do their duty, Judge Otis can be elected. Surely, no candidate was ever present- ed to the people of this city more nobly quilified to represent the beet inteliigence of a great com- ‘mercial metropol The way in which the O'Conor Straightouts are helping Domocracy is shown by the fact that LeGrand Byington, the appointed agent in Chi- cago, i sending tickets headed © 0'Conor and Adams ™ into Towa, but which, upon examina- tion, bear the names of the Grant Electors. It was, possibly, as o recognition of this splendid work, that the Grant Tanners, in their torch- light procession on Saturday night, went severa] ‘blocks out of theirwayin order tocheer the Chica- go Times office. The gamekind of work will be at- tempted in this city; the Grant operators will flood the wards with independent ¢ Democratic” and Liberal tickets, with the names of the Grant Presidential Electors prirted thercon. 1t is probable that Chicago will experience leds loss of time and less damage to business from the horse-disease than auy large city where the distemper prevails. If such shall prove to bo the case, the reason for it may bo found in the good judgment which prompted an immediate withdrawal of the horses from the streeis. There has been no emergency of late where the old saw of *a stitch in time saves nine,” can be applied with such good results. Add to the ex- cellent foresight of our citizens the clear and beautiful weather of yesterday,—weather that can rarely be found outside of Chicago at this senson of the year,—and the hope of & spesdy dissppearance of the malady smong animals may be safely predicted. The rumor has got abroad that the return of E.B. Washburne from France is nof so much connected with a desire to cast a vote for Gen- erel Grant as to enter the lists with Oglesby as a candidate for the United States Scnate. Itis rumored also that J. R. Jones is coming home to vote for Grant and Washburne. Itis argued that to elect Oglesby Senator, when- the people really voted for him for Governor, would be to mpose upon popular credulity to an unwearrent- sble extent, and would have the effect of putting into the Gubernatorial office aman whose merits have never been canvaseed, to-wit : Boveridge. This is probably true. The people hava a better and more certain remedy than the one Mr. Wash~ burne's friends propose, and that is to elect Mr. Koerner for Governor, as wo confidently be- lieve ihey will do to-morrosw. The Chicago Times was guiliy, a few weeks ago, of publishing & coarse, defematory, and indecent libel upon alady of this city at the time when she was enduring 2ll the anguish which could result from the sudden, violent, and unexpleined death of her Lusband. The Times claimed that the truth of its aseertions had Dbeen discovered and confirmed by the personal investigation of one of its reporiers. In its is- sue of yesterdsy, it lays the burden of the Iibel upon a detectivo officer, xwho, a8 it now snys, first told the story which it printéd, which story, it now says, wasfalee. The effrontery with which the Times convicts itself of false- hood and defamation is scarcely less glaring than that which first prompted it to print so villanous and outrageous a elander, The first article also intimated that facts and proofs were resoryed, which would substantiate all thalit charged, and which would be forthcoming upon demand. The second article admits that there is not basis enough upon which to sustain the charge, but simply mentions it ** a8 abandoning atheory concerning the murder of Mr. Edsall’ The Chicago produce markets were moderately active on Saturday, and «the majority of the breadstuffs markets were higher. Mess pork ‘was dull at $15.00 forold ; $14.00 for new ; $13.50 for do seller next week, and $12.50@12.62% seller December. Lard was dull, and stendy at 75¢c per 1b for cash, or seller any month up to February; do seller March, 7%¢@8c. Meatswere quiet, and quoted steady at 43{@5c for part salted shoulders ; 73{cfor do short ribs, and 8%{c for do short clear. Highwines were quiet, and firm at'8%c per gallon. Lake freights were quiet, and scarce at 13c for corn to Buffalo, closing with 14c agked. Flour was steady, and in botter demand. Wheat was active, and 3@ 3{e higher, closing at $1.07}¢ cash, and $1.075¢ seller December. Corn was dull, and declined e, closing at 823¢c seller the month, and 813c seller December. Oats were dull, and & shade easier at 2054@203{c seller the month, and 223(@3234¢c seller December. Rye was more ac- tive, and 2¢ higher, closing at 53}¢c. Rarloywas in good demand, and }4@lc higher, closing at 633{@64c for No. 2; 5lcfor No.3, and 624@ 62}4c geller the month. The hog market was quiet, and weak at 10¢ decline. Sales were slow at $4.20@4.50. There was only 2 light inquiry for cattle, and the prices current yesterday were barely sustained. Sheep were steady, and un- changed. THE HORSES YESTERDAY, The weather of the past twenty-four hours bas greatly favored the existing sondition of things in the stables, very fow of whichdo nob now contain subjects of the horse malady. The ‘most carefully-secluded animals have nearly all succumbed to the epidomic, and the visitation is general. Chicago must do without horaes this week. Inquiry as to the condition of the ani- mals earlicst attacked develops the very en- couraging fact that they have passed the crisis, and are doing well. The disease is said to run its course in sbout ten days. From present showing, the number of convalescents will in- crease rapidly by the cloge of the present week, and careful use will presently bring our fricnd Equus back to his pristine usefulness. " v TO-MORRQ' This is the last issue of TaE TnisuNE that will reach its readers beyond tho city before they are called upon to vote. The election of Presi- dent, Governor, Legislature, and local officers takes place to-morrow. e print elsewhere the Cincinnsti platform, of which the New York “Times, ina recent issue, is moved to say that, with the excoption of one or two unfounded flings or insinuations agalust the present Admin- istration, there is nothing in the Cincinnati plat- form to which any Republican will not heartily assent.” Wo recommend the address of the Cin- cinnati Convention once more to the attention of the public as & clear, precise, and unasssilablo statement of the reasons why the present Ad- ministration should not again be entrusted with power. And now a word concerning our candidates. The personal integrity of Horace Greeley has never been impeached; his intellectusl ability i8 conceded ; his long and laborious life 18 un- stained by any act that was not intended for the Lionor and prosperity of his country and for the elevation of the human race. He has has never knowingly yielded, under any circumstances, to any policy which would enable one man to be the oppressor of another. A laborer from boyhood, he has been the unflinching champion of those who earn their bread by toil. In alf the political strifes that have taken place, under all ton that human happiness was the aim of all just government, and has never faltered in his labors to benefit his fellow-men. Horace Gree- ley 28 a patriot supported the war for the pree- ervation of the Union. Like Mr. Lincoln, he * mever withheld the offer of peace, amnesty, and reconciliation. Like Mr, Lincoln, he knew that, after the war, tho South- ern States could not be held as conquered prov- inces, and that the restoration of the Union upon the basis of & common brotherhood was esgential to the re-establichment of genuine peace. The American people have won the ad- ‘miration of the world becsuse they have mot, sinco the cessation of hostilities, taken & single human life for rebellion. No executions by hal- ter or gunshot; no attainder of treason; mno confiseation of property ; no desecrationof the memories of the dead. The world looks on with admiration at the spectacle of afree and con- quering people forgetting the rebellion, and re- uniting the whole conntry under a common flag with & common destiny. For that policy Horaco Greeley has bravely struggled, through evil end through good report. That there may be union there must be peace. For the samo reason that thobleck race must be politically free in order to have peace, ‘he has contended that the white race ‘must also be free. That for the same redson we have nob hanged rebels, wo ‘must bring them and their descendants to us as freemen and countrymen, That for the same reason we have restored the rebel Statesto political equality, we must restore tho indi- viduals of these States to political equality. He has from firat to last contended that univer- gal suffrage snd universsl amnesty should go hand in hand, that the citizens of ‘the great Re- public might truthfully say that there wasnot a slave or a pariah, black or white, in all the land. ; The same perSonal honesty and fidelity which he has shown in his own relations with other men he has demanded shall be enforced by all public officers in their relations with the people they serve. For this reason, Horaco Greeley has been all his life opposed and hated by those officcholders who seek their per- donal asggrandizement at the public expense. From Maine to Texas, there is not a trader in politics, mnor = corruptionist in ofiice, who does not hold Horace Greeley in horror. Against all abuses of offi- cial power, all usurpations, all corruptions, all fraudulent contracts, subsidies and grants, he ‘'his ever opposed his influence, his voice, and his pen, and of course has won the hatred of all persons whose interests he has thus opposed. Horaco Greeley is the same able, honest, and capable manthet he was before the Pennsylva- nia election. The Administration of Genersl Grantis the eame usurping and incompetent Administration that it was before thaf election. Grant is now more than ever the tool and in- strument of Cameron and Morton, the same ‘boon companion of Tom Murphy, the same pat- .ron of Leet and Stocking, the same instrument in the hands of dishonest and unserupulousmen. There can be no reform in the Government un- e til there is & change of Administration, The the excitciments of parties, Lo has never forgot- | re-election of Grant means the perpetration, in & more aggravated form, of the rule of the un- serupulous men who govern with him. It is an extension of the reign of Cameron, Chandler, Pomeroy, Caldwell, and those who have made ths Senate House a temple of money-changers. The State of Illinois had had the good fortune of having hed for Governor during the last four years o man of the intellectual abilily and per- sonal integrity of John M. Palmer. Gustavus Koerner is & fitting mpn to succeed him. For forty years he has been a citizen of Tilinois, and during that whole period has been eminent for the zeal and sbility displayed in promoting her interests. As legislator, as Judge of the Supreme Court, Lieutenani-Governor, and &s Railroad Commissioner, he has won the confi- dence and esteem of the whole people. A re- fined and cultivated gentloman, & scholar, an ex- perienced lawyer, he unites all the qualities that are needed for the office of Goveraorof this great Stato. By electing him, the State will do itself an honor. All that is needed to elect him is that there be & full turn out of the Lib- eral vote. We have every confidence that he will be elected to-morrow, and that the Lib- erals will carry the Legislature of the State. — THE SUPPRESSION OF CRIME. The citizens of Chicago, who have 8o long sought to discover the causes of crime and the means to prevent it, have probably obtained some light in the revelations of the way in which the present Prosecuting Attorney transacts the ‘business of his office. We have published the following facts, confirmed by the official records and not denied by anybody: 1, That during the lost two years Mr. Charles H. Reed, Prosecuting Attorney, has officially reccommended and obtained from the Governor pardons for 84 persons convicted of rape, arson, highway-robbery, assault with deadly weapon, burglary, forgery, perjury, manelaughier, lar- ceny, and other high felonics. 2. That in the same timo ho has asked, but failed, to obtain the pardons of 20 other con- victed robbers, homicides, forgers, perjurers, burglars, and thioves. 8. Thet since the 1t day of January, 1873, the police have arrested, and the Grand Juries have indicted, 300 persons charged with arson, rob- bery, assaults with desdly weapon, burglary, larceny, and all other felonies, who have béen admitted to bail by Mr, Reed; and that, in each cage, the bail hins been forfeited. 4, That Mr. Reed has never instituted suit against any of the men named on the bail-bonds a8 security, and has taken no steps to have the crimingls rearrested. 5. That the 300 indicted criminals thus allowed by Mr. Reed to run at lsrge, and their friends the professional beil-men, are now actively and zealously engaged, and will to-morrow be found at their various precincts, striving, by all manner of means, to re-elect Mr. Reed. 6. That these 300 indicted criminals and their friends, the professional bail-men, and the other thieves and criminals in the city, do not want a change in the officeof Public Prosecutor, be- cauee to do go would result in the arrest of all those indicted persons, and their prompt trial and conviction ; & result they know will not fol- low Br. Reed's election. ‘We confess that these facts are surprising to ourselves. We did not mow why. the criminal classes and the clergymen were, with few excep- tions, agreed in supporting Mr. Reed. In the light of Jr. Reed's recently published record, we take it that the former know what they are about, while the latter do not. We submit these facts to the consideration of the various committees of all gizes who wonder why crime i not suppressed, and who read one day of the arrest of a burglar, or professor of the slung- shot, and the next of & conviction for rape, or manslaughter, and, a few weeks later, find these parties mentioned as delegates in a political con~ Vention, orappointed as s ward committee to aid in the re-election of the Prosecuting Attor- ney. Mr. Reed’s plan, evidently, is to so con- duct his office as not to exasperate the criminal clagses,—to give them 28 much punishment as public opinion actnally compels, but not to push them to the wall,—not to drive them to extrem- ities. AN ALARMING TRANSACTION. o of the newspapers supporting the Admin- istration in New York, the Etening Post and the Commercial Advertiser, have become alarmed at the recent secret issue of 4,600,000 greenbacks in addition to the amount previously existing and authorized by law. The fact seems to be as- certained that, wlile this operation was con- cenled from the public, it was known in advance to afew favored operators, whomade 2 large sum of money out of it, while others, not so fa- vored, lost a corresponding sum. The Postsays: “The public was not advised of any such pro- posed action, though thero isgood reason to suppose that some individuals were. These for- tunate persons were enabled to propare, to their own gain, for a change of values, while the gen- eral commercial public, without the knowledge, must, suffer. Whatever authority of law there may be, or assumed authority of law for an in- crease of legal tendors, there certainly is none which authorizes the Secretary to use this power secretly, to the immense benofit of & few, and to the injuryand possible ruinof the many. This feature of the case is utterly inde- fensible, and even alarming.” The Commercial Advertiser intimates that thisis not the last of it, and that the November programme of tho Treasury is already known to the clique, who are operating with confidence upon their exclusive information. Itis needless to say that such transsctions a8 these undermine tho whole commercial fabric of the country, and tend to undermine the social febric as well, for the one rests upon the other, 1t is difficult to tell which is the most dangerous aspect it presents. If we suppoee that tho Ad- ministration is exercising itself to relieve the money market, we have the spectacle of & few persons not gifted with omniecience making experiments npon the prices of everything that is bought and sold, putting an unknown ele- ment into every contract between private indi- viduals, tinkering with the wages of the laborer, the income of the professional man, the receipts and expenses- of forty millions of people, end 8dding uhcertainty to business ¢alcalations at & time when confidenceis, of all things, most wanted. Nothing is go well calculated to lock up capital and to curteil losns as a snspicion that something is liable to happen which may upseball present caleulations. But, if we suppose, on the other hand, taat this is & device, whose prime intent is to enrich & few individuals at the expense of the commu- nity at Jarge (which has been the actual result of the experiment), there ara mo words to fitly characterize it. Our New York contemporary, of the Grant persuasion, nses & very mild phrase in saying that it is “ntterly indefensible, and even alarming.” The most ration®l ¥xplanation is that funds are wantéd for campaign pur- poses, and that the profits derived from secret information, and secret issue of greenbacks, are used in part £o carry the election. If the public money, disbursed in the form of palaries io six- ty thousand office-holders, may be extorted from them to re-elect Genoral Grant; if money may be taken out of the Treasury,without appropriation by Congress, to pay for campaign docmunents ; if a United States Marshal may help himself to any needed amount of the public funds to pay for the services of electioneering agents in a doubt- ful State, the next step will naturally be to use the surplus in the Treasury, in some other way, for the same unlawfal purpose. When the idea is once conceived, and the necessity great, laws will be emashed down, or swept out of the way like the walls of a city in some great fire. And when the use of public money by the partyin power to control elections becomes g rule of action, the liberties of the peoplo are gone. This is the second secret experiment made within thirty days, upon the money market, by the Government. The first was an unlooked- for sale of $5,000,000 of gold, the proceeds of which were deposited in & few favored banks ¢ formarket use,” as Mr. Henry Clews tells us. ¢ For market use” means that these favored ‘banks had the use of £5,000,000 of Government money for an indefinite period. Mr. Clews adds that this money will probably be left in the banks as long as needed. How long & bank needs $5,000,000 is & conuundrum. Another question which was sgitating Wall strest until thisnew issue ‘of greenbacks come out was, ‘Who made the profit out the secret intelligence of the gold sale ? Bome of General Grant's friends, undoubtedly, since the order to make the sale was given by him. But the amazement over that affair ias given way to the consternz- tion produced by the later one. The managers evidently understand the value of anéw surprise to stop people talking about an old one. The whole affair bears a strange resemblance to General Grant's order to Boutwell to stop the gold sales immediately preceding Black Friday,— the same which put $25,000 into the pocket of Abel R. Corbin. ARREST OF THE WOODHULL. The respectable people of this country find an opportunity for rejoicing in the final arrest of Mrs. Victoria Woodhull and her sister, Tennie C. Claflin. There is no other country in the world where these two faries would have been permitted to outrage the communityso long. The immediate occasion of their arrest was tho revival of a publication with which their names have been associated, and which, it was hoped and believed, had disappeared forever. Their weekly journal wes, for some time, the recep- tacle for all the moral filth that could find expression nowhere elso. It was simultaneously the advocate of Woman's Suffrage and the organ of tho Free Lovers. It was kunown, where known at all, a8 the refuge of all vagaries, financial, political, and socizl, which were too wild or too vile for expression elsewhere. ‘It failed, however, to become self-supporting, and wassus- pended. Withih the past week or two, its pub- lication has been resumed, evidently upon the assumption that it had been too conservative ‘before, and that additional immorality was all that was necessary to render it profitable. With- out giving any notion of its contents, it need only be said that the first paper of this now is- sue contained libels of the boldest character, and & degree of depravity in thought and expression that had never before been reached in litera- ture. Itsappearance and circulation gave the proper authorities an opportunity to arrest its suthors and publishers upon the charge of sending obacene publications through the mails. Sofar, 80 good. The penalty for the act thus charged is & fine of 500, and imprisonment for one year. Both the evidence of obscenity and that of circulation through the mails are per- fectly plain, and it only remains to enforce the statute in this case to set an example that is sorely needed in the country. The story of the Woodhull-Claflin family i familiar ad nauseam. There is no good purpose to subserve by going over it again, but there is one feature which should be remembered ie con- nection with it. These women could never have reached their pinnaclo of nastiness andeffrontery, had it not been for the encouragement and sup- port which they have received from people who claim to be respectable. They inaugurated their notoriety as brokers, which they never would ‘have been able to do if somebody had not fur- nished them means to begin business.. Then the nowspaper was started, and maintained for gome time, all of which required more money. Politics was not ignored, and & prominent Grant politicisn from Massachusetts gave these rising harpies & helping hand. Some of the leaders of the Female Suffrage movement adopted them, and it was Mrs. Woodhull who was chosen to present their cause to Congress through an sbsurd comstruction of the Fourteenth Amendment. Theyfound a biographer in & man ‘who had a good position in society and literature, and who further aided their wretched snibition by introducing Mrs. Woodhull to a New York su- dience. In fact, during the entire career of these two women, openly violating tho laws of the country as well as every principle of moral- ity and public safety, people have been found who were willing or weak enough to contribute in money and influence to their maintenance. TThe time and occasion have now come ‘to pnt them down, and, with their virtusl suppression, give a rebuke to those who are equally guilty in sustaining them, and who cannot be reached by law. The full penalty of the statute ought tobe enforced. The guilt of the two women, and their known associates, deserves it. 1More than this, the good of sociely demands it. After they huve served out their punishment for vio- Iating the law against circalating: obscene pub- lications through the mails, justice might be se- cured in their case through the individual prose- cation by those whom they have so grossly slan- dered. i Irishmen, Attention!—Hear the Dub- lin Xrishman. The Dublin Zrishman, the leading newspaper of Ireland, hailed the nomination of Horace Greeley in the following words : ““The selection does great credit to the slnrty which has preferred him to Grant, and will be found generally acceptable, we hope, by the whole mass of our countrymen who left the Emerald Isle and sought refuge in the fres United States. Horace Greoley deserves well of Ireland. He stood by her cause, the cause of }nsfics, in the darkest hour, when an artificial 'amine ravaged the land, and freedom was driven from our shores. From this chivalrous fidelity we have never found him to swerve. ¢ Conscious of the wrongs of our country, he desires their redress ; knowing the infinite good of freedom, its spirit of bencficence influenced his own ; with sympathies not limited by boun- daries of States, he earnestly sought to extend to other lands and other people the advantage of that liberty in which his ‘own rejoiced. We re- Emilum a8 the type of & true American. As a iberal Republican, he is modelled after the old style; of Washington’s Council, he would have been, had he lived in those glorious and single- heartedtimes. By his upright and manly con- ries of the past. Opposition he will undoubted- Iy have to encounter, but, We truat, never from an source,” THE FORTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

The Administration now in power has render- ed itself guilty of wanton disregard of the laws of the land, and usurped powers not granted by the Constitution. It has acted as if the laws had binding force only for those Who are gov- erned, andnot for those who govern. It has thus struck a blow at the fundamental princi- ples of constitutional government, and the liberty of the citizen. The President of the United States has openly used the powers and op- portunities of hishigh office for the promotion of personal ends. He has kept notorionsly corrupt and unworthy men in places of power and re- eponsibility to the detriment of the public interest. He has used the public service of the Government a8 a machinery of partisan and per- sonal influence, and interfered with tyrannical arrogance in the political affairs of States and municipalities. He has rewarded, with influen- tial and lucrative offices, men who had scquired his favor by valuable presents ; thus stimulating demoralization of our political life by hia con- spicuous example. He has shown himself deplorably unequal to the tasks imposed upon him by the necessities of the country, and culpably carcless of the responsi- bilities of his high office. The partisans of the Administration, assuming to be the Republican party, and controlling its organization, have at- tempted to justify such wrongs and pallinte such abuses, to the end of maintaining partisan as- cendency. They have stood in the way of neces- sary investigations and indispensable reforms, pretending that no serious fault could be found with the present administration of public af- {fairg; thus seeking to blind the eyes of the peo- ple. They have kept alive the passions and re- sentments of the late civil war, o use them for their own advantage. They have resorted to arbitrary measures in direct conflict with the organic law, instead of appealing to the better instincts and latent patriotism of the Southern people by restoring to them thoserights, the enjoyment of which is indispensable for a successfal administration of their local affairs, and wonld tend to revive apa- triotic and National feeling. They have degraded themselves and the name of their party, once +justly entitled to the confidence of the nation, by a base sycophancy to the dispenser of Executive power and patronage unworthy of Republican freemen ; they have sought to stiflo the voice of just criticism, to stifle_the moral sense of the people, and to subjugate pub- lic opinion by tyrannical party discipline. They are striving to maintain themselves in anthority, for gelfish ends, by an unscrupulons use of the Tevives in the’ present’ the best memo-" power which rightfully belongs to the people and shonld be employed only in the service 6f the country. Believing that an organization thus led and controlled can no longer be of ser- vice to the best interests of the Republic, we have resolved to make an independent appeal to the sober judgment, conscience, and patriotism of the American people. THE PLATFORM. We, the Liberal Republicans of the United Btates, in National Convention assembled at Cincinnati, proclaim the following principles as esgential to just government : First. We recognize the equality of all men before the law, and hold that it is the duty of Government, in its deslings with the people, to ‘mete out equal and exact justice to all, of what- ever nativity, race, color,or persuasion, religions or political, : Second. We pledge ourselves to ‘maintein the Union of these States, emancipation and en- franchisement, and to oppose any reopening of the questions settled by the Thirteenth, Four. teenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Con- stitation, Third. We demand the immediate and abso- - lute removal of all dissbilities imposed on ac- count of the Rebellion, which was finaily sub- dued seven years ago, believing that mniversal amnesty will result in complete pacification in all sections of the country. Fourth. Local gelf-government, with impar- tial suffrage, will guard the rights of all citizens ‘more securely than any centralized power. The public welfere requires the supremacy of the civil over the military suthority, sud freedom of person under the protection of the' habess corpus. We demand for the individual the larg- . est liberty consistent with public order; for the State, self-government, and for the Nation a roturn to the methods of peace and the constitu- tional limitations of poyer. Fifth. The Civil Service of the Government has become a mere instrument of partisan tyr- snny and personal ambition, and an object of selfish greed. It is a scandal and reproach upon’ free institutions, and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the perpetuity of republican gov- ernment. We therefore regarda thorough re- form of the Civil Service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour; that honesty, capacity, and fidelity constitute the only valid claim to public employment ; that the offices of the Government cease to bea matter of arbi- trary favoritism and patronage, and that public station become egain = post of honor. To this end, itis imperatively required that no Presi~ dent shall be a candidata for re-election. Sixth. We demand a system of Federal taxa~ tion which shall not nnnecessarily interfero with the industry of the people, and which shall pro- vide the means necessary to pay the expenses of the Government economically administered, the pensions, the intereston the public debt, and a moderate reduction annually of the prin- cipal thereof ;' and, recognizing that there are in our midst honest butirreconcilable diffzrences of opinion with regard to the respective systems of Protection and Free Trade, we remit the dis- cussion of - the subject of the people in their Congress Districts, and to the decision of Con- gress thereon, wholly free of Executive interfer- ence or dictation. 3 ¢ Seventh. The public credit must be sscredly maintained, and we denouuce repudistion in every form and guise. Eighth. A speedy return to specie payment is demanded slike by the highest consideration of commercial morality and honest govern- ment. Ninth. Wo remember with gratitude the ‘heroism and eacrifices of the soldiers and sailors of the Republic, and no act of ours shall ever detract from their justly-earned fame or the full reward of their patriotism. Tenth. We are opposed to all farther grants of lands to railronds or other corporations. The public domain shall be held sacred to actual settlers. Eloventh. We hold that it is the duty of the Grvernment, in its intercourse with foreign na- tions, to cultivate the friendship of pesce, by treating with all on fair and equal terms, regard- ing it alike dishonorable either ta demand what i8 not right, or to submit to what is wrong. Twelfth. For the promotion and success of these vital principles, and the support of the candidates nominated for this'Convention, we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, without regard to previous affilistions. —_— POLITICAL.
