Thoe Unitod States Sonator from Orogon scoms. to havo discovorod what Lis right name should bo, as appears from a petition whichhe has proseuted to the County Court of the Btato of. Orogon for tho County of Multnomah, asking for a docreo Judicially declaring the name John H. Mitchell to be his true and logal name. Tho potition sots forth that ho has boon fn Orogon thirteon yoara, and that durlng that timo he has been known as John H. Mitchell. Tho namo of Lis fathor was John Hipplo, and his mother’s maiden namo wag Mitcholl. - In his infancy ho was named John Mitchioll Hipple, but as many poople wors com- mencing to doubt tha validity of business trans- nctions thoy have had with him, ho prays that his somo may bo chenged to Johm H. Mitch- oll, ns sbovo. The hearing hns boeen sob for tho 4th .of August, so that untl that time tho Bonator from Orogon ia without a truo and legal name, Mesnwhilo, thore {8 no certainty that oven the judiclal dooreo will dofinitoly christon tho Orogon Sonator. Ifo applies for the name of John H. Mitcholl. Inau- much 08 ho has figured in Oregon politics koth 08 John Hipplo Mitchell " and John Hirgm Mitchell, would it not be woll for him to fix his middle namo also, 8o that poopla having trans- aoctions with him may know whother H stands for Mipplo or Hiram,. or .something olse begin- ning with an XX? As John Hipple Mitchell, alias John Mitcholl Iipple, has boon for thirty-cight yoara witbout sny sottlod name, ho ought to leavo his constituanta no room to doubt what his namo roally is, An officer of the Alton & St. Louls Railrond has farnished to o corrospondent of the Now York Tribunc somo roagonablo nnd intolligihle’ instancos in proof of tho fact that railway dis- orimination is not nocessarily unjust. To take the familiar Bloomington-Loxington cnso, ho explaing that o car dostined for Lexington is ewitchod off at that station, nnd, ftor being unlonded, waits for a day ortwo to be taken up on tho way back with, porbaps, one-fourth of & load, and, porhaps, no lond whatever, whilo tho Bloomington car i3 immediately refilled and sent on the roturn trip, thus gotting back to Ohiongo a day or two quicker. Tho Bloomington cer has hnd o full load each way, and has earned moro monoy, at o less rato, for tho Rail- rond Company than tho Lexington car for n shorter distance and ligher rate. Another instance cited is where elovators have been built at grain stations. The railrond las ‘boen in tho habit of taking froight from an elo- vator at ono cont less then whon it was to Do londed from wagons,—a practico which tho new low prohibits. Yot grain takon from tho clava- or must bo puton tho cara at any hour of the day or night which tho rallrond desires, accord- ing to the contract made with the elovator, It hag boon found that cars left at the same point to-bo londed fron. wagons do not reach Ohicago for twonty-four or foity-oight houralater ; and, as idlo cara aro constantly iucronsing tho oxponscs without enrning money, tw rallrond makes ‘more monoy from grain taken from the olovator at a lower price without working any injustico to other shippers. These aro two of many in- stances showing that compotition is not tho only cause of discrimination, — THE OHIO CONVENTION. The Domocrats of Allon Qounty, Ollo, somo timo ngo declared that tho Domocratio party had practically ceasod to oxist for any usoful pur- pose, and it thereforo advised n Convontion of citizous of Ohio, without dislinotion of party, to bo Lold at Columbus on tho 80th of July, to form a now organization on tho basis of o ro- form ot oxisting sbuses, This movemont has beon bitterly opposod by two classos of porsons, }lho nolf-vlected leadors of tho Domooratio party and tho offic-holdors of the Itopublican party. 'ho Iatter soom to concodo that, if the Domo- ratic parly wero out of tho way, tho Republican purey would have nothing to hold it togothet, Tho Domooratio loadors ara loth to give up an jorxanization which occaslonally furnishos thom jan oflleo, and pousgessos, morgovor, the novor- tulling oharm of nutiquity. But thoroare o largo number of peoplo in Ollo who poresive that both tho old parties are moroly boating gonga in ench ther's facou for publio bowilderment, and thoso people aro dotominod not to participate ju tho «Juockery auy loager, ‘o Ropubliean party was formed 28 an antl- tavory party~first to rostrict and confino slayery 4 cortaln gaographical liwits, and aftorwards to abolish anl destroy it altogothor, As soon as t_ ds antislavery party was formed, tho Domo- citatlo party bocamo of nocossity n pro-slavery Piprly, All othor questions wero ignored, and, to onoh other, Thoy can howl at enoh other about tho Loulsiana imbroglio in good ot torms, but whon it comes toa quostion of subsidies, Crodit Mobiliors, salary-grabs,” Socor clalms, District of Columbia frands, Fort Bnolling swindles, thoy invariably hunt in couples, Tho publio appropristions were incronsed $22,000,- 000t tho Iast mossion of Congross,—n most slorming symptom of tho provailing tondoney of pollfica."ht wo fall to rocall o single Domo- cratio protost in Congrogs agninst it. Thoe Convontion callod to moot on tho 80th of July, in Columbus, moy accomplish much good by oxposlng those facts, and by promoting o now organization opposed equally to both tho old partios, and to tho abusos which thoy fostor in common. To such o party will flock all men, Ropublicans and Democrats, who aro alivo to tho dangers of the provailing domoralization, and who are willing to unito for tho eradieation of nbusos that are as fatal to good government and a8 dangorous to the publio welfaro as was over the istitution of slavery in ita worat days. e — ‘WHAT IT COSTS T0 LIVE, In o recent articlo wo showed from statistics prosented by tho Labor Commission of Massa~ chusotts, in ite report for 1878, that tho prime cost of food was baroly ono-fifth of tho- wholo cost of living in that Stato ; that tho final cost of 'all food to tho consumer was but 39 por cont of the wholo cost of living, ond that 44 por cont was for clothing, ront, fuel, furniture, lights, sonp, and starch. But this was for familica of Inborors, whoso oxponsos for other than nocossitios wore of courso roduced ag far as possible, and it was -in Massachusatts, whero food 18 dearer and manufactured products chosp- or than in other Statos. Applicationof tho samo datn ns to quantitios of cach article consumed to the avorago prices of ton Wostorn Btatos, Ohio and all northwest of the Olio River included, shows that in thoso Btates food and fucl coat much less, whilo othor plomonts cost much more, than in tho East, Tablos publishod by tho Agricultursl Bureau, and othors publishod by the Bureau of Statistics, |, ubatantinlly egroo in showing that Massachsetts prices excoed tho average pricos of those West- orn Btates, for potatovs 87 per cent, for beans 80, cggs 88, buttor 83, voal 60, mutton 44, fresh pork 85, roast boof 50, soup-ment 12, steak, 50, cornod boof 40, selt pork 80, ham 10, lard 16, flour 87, nud coffoo G por cont, while sugar and ton aro slightly cheaper at tho East. Fuol costs 87 por cent loss nt tho Weost, but rent 30 por cent more, clothing 16 por cont moro, and lights 20 per cont moro, according to statoments of tho Burcau of Statistics 1 1870. Prosuming that tho samo differonco now oxists, and that educa~ tion, travol and rocroation, medieal sorvice, and othor miscollancsus exponses cost- 10° por cont moro ot tho Wost thon at the Enat, it appoars that laborers' familics in Western towns, con- suming tho eamo artiolos and having the samo ‘wauts with those familles in Massnchusotts of which atatistics are given, would epend’ less for food, but more for othor purposos, and nearly ad much in the yoarly aggrogato. In the follow- ing tablo those differonces are illustrated, with tho proportion of cost of onch kind of articles to tho wholo cost of living : § Jass, P.C, Weat, P, C.

'Tho difforanco, $16.13 1o oach consumer, meesures the offect of cost of transportntion from rogions whero food i3 moat plonty to rogions whero it is wearca, milk Into butter and cheose, of animals into butcliors’ or packed mdat, and of grain into flour cost of food to the consumor, or at the Wost 3.8 por cent of tha whole cost of living, it appears that in this section loss than 19 por cont of tho wholo yoarly exponso is tho primoe ecost of food. By tho semo mothod, & moro ncourato -eati- mato of the chango in tho cost of living sinco 1800 may bo obtained than by any othor, In 1870, the Baronu of Btatlstics published olaba- rato tables of tho averagoe pricou of artioles’ in’ towns of the differont Btatos, and, with theald of trado roports showing the range of prices for o serlos of yonrs, and of tho cousus reports, ac- ourato statomont of tho chango in cost of Alf- foront articlos can bo mado. But tho mothod ordinarily adopted is faulty, in that it makes no account of tho proportionato consumption of onch articlo, Thus an advance of 200 por cent In tho prico of rod popper, of which wo oach consume loss than one-forticth of one cont in value yenrly, would count more In a geusral av- erago of priced thana'change of 50 per cent In the coat of woolon cloths, of which wa constmo about $4.60 onch yoarly. DBut, applylng tho datn suppliod by tha Labor Roport of Magsaolunott, afftertho yonr 1850, the two partios Liad but ong {sgno—the prosorvation and oxpansion of slavory ou tho ono hand, and its roatrlotion and sbolition on tho othor. Tho war was part of this fusuo, aud tho antagoniym of Doemoorats to tho war procoeded not from & want of patriotlam, butan opposition to any interforonce with slavery, Tho aupproyslon of tho robollion way followod by & and supposing cortain famillos to have con- snmod tho samo quantitios of the sama articlos In manufaoturing townu in Massachusotts in 1800 and 1870, the nctual offat of tho change af pricos will bo ascortainod, = | Wo lisvo boforo shown that the avorago -, croago in tho cost of oloth conaumed has booh- over 00 porZeout, Mon's hoavy bools, which Algo, romemboring that tho manufacturing of | and menl, costs about 17 per cont of tho wholo sold for 0,20 in 1000, cost $4.80 in 1870, an Incrongo of 60 por cont.

Whilo tho cost of living inoroased 61 por cont, #ho cost of flonr, ovon to the Mnssnchusotts con- sumor, advanced only 18 por cent, whilo the prico of whoat paid to tho farmor scarcely advanced at all. Whilo whost sold at the samd rate In May, 1860, and May, 1870, and cattlo had galned but modorately in prico, the consumer paid noarly 100 por cont moro for steaks and roasts. In theso fnots wo havo o practiosl illustration of tho offoct of tho system of finance and taxation sdopted since 1860., Xt has clogged indastry snd ex- ohango ot evory step, and, while conforring -no ‘benefit upon producers, has rondored all products moro costly to consumers. How many working- mn}lz rocolve $100 now for the same labor for which they were paid 3100 in 1860 ? A MANITOBAN DOGBERRY, Tho rotusal of bail to the four citizens of Min- nenpolis now held in Manitoba ia a judicial out- rago. Tho offonso charged sgainst thom is that of kidnapping. Tho man whom thoy arrested on Manitobh territory is genorally known to be an fmpostor and knave. Ho is now a fugitivo from justico. Ilo is nnsworablo to a double of- fonso ngainst lawand deconcy. Ho made his eseapo to Manitoba to olude o trinl on tho charge of swindling, and, in doing so, ho botrayed tho confldonco and abused tho gonorosity of tiwo gentlomen in Now York, who had gono bail for his appoaranco in a largo sum of monoy. Aside from this particular caso, Gordon has beon known a8 an aristocratic fraud snd professional doad-boat. . The manner fn which the Minnoapo- 1is prisonors have boon troatod indicato a dispo- sition on the part of tho Manitoba ofiicials . rather ‘to avenge Gordon's assumed perse- cution than to vindiente their torritorial rights. This is.low businoss for an Attorney- Gonoral and & Judge of the Queen's Bonoh to oufago in at tho bost, bub whon it takes the *sbapo of a systematic persccution of American citizons, who probably doted undor o mlsnppi'm honeion and who liave not yet had their trial, it ‘becomes an ontrage which refleots, to o grontor or less oxtont, upon tho wholo Cauadian Govorn- mont. . w S Tha right of bafl is recognized undor tho Inwa of both Great Britain and the Unitod Statea forall oftensosnot eapital. The Manitoban Judge, in his decision rofusing bail for Hoy, Keegan, Flotcher, nnd Beutloy,’ holds that the law loavos it to his discretion whether bail shall or shall mot bo grantod. Ho then gives s logal doflnition of *dfscrotion,” which monns that tho: Judge “‘ghall discern nccording to the law," ond mnot that he may coxorciso his arbitrary will in overy caso.

T'o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: 8t : Among tho poculiar fostures of tho intor. viow betwoon myselt, Otto Matz, and Ald Bailoy, wag an oxprossion ‘used by tho latter, in which ho urged upon Matz tho nccossity and importance of attending to * that matter " and sooing * thoso partios " that oveniug ; to which Matz roplied, that ho had an engngoment at & ©o'clock, but beforo . ho could with pradenca pro-- oood to offect thio consummation of tho schemo, Lo 8aid it was nocossary for him to recoivo the approbation and assistanco of some othor par-- ties whoso numos did not transpiro on that occa~ slon. Xcannot venture to hazard any declsive conjecture as to who thoy wero, although I am inclined to tho opinfon that they must bo in some way connocted with the plane. While'on~ gaged upon tho subjeot, I fool myself impelled to notico a romark mado by Mr. Matz in rola~ tion to tho North 8ido Oriminal Court, in ‘which ho greatly roprobated Theodora Korls for his ill-ndvisod partioipation in tho compotition by which hio split up the Ger- mau vote, and thereby forcod Matz to loso tho Job. Xarls atd somo othors had loft our compa-~ ny about ten minutea proviously, I suggestod to Mr. Matz, as I wag disintorested, fixat lo might resort to somo meane by which Lo could buy Karls off, and spare him the humilintion of: & gocond dofont, and the. noxt intimation I had of the practical application of my suggestion was the mg‘olntmam of Karls a8 architact of tho. Jofforson Insano Asylum, and his subscquent withdrawal from tho cowpetition. In leaning: towards the supposition that Karls way influs oncad in Matz's favor, I cannot_escape the con- clusion that it was done with Ald, Dailoy's cognizanco and co-operation, for Lo ovorheard pott of tho conversation botweon Matz and I, and ho oven pledged mo his word and honor that ho would furnish mo with n pass to Kone tucky Block (as non-compating_ archi- toety wore excluded), 80 that I might avall myself of the- advaniagos of [secing the 'lntont grandeur of Blatz's plan, and with a doscription of it for the papers, in order_to_in- fluonco publio opinion In its favor. Indeed, it appears from Bailoy's own admissions, with his ambition expanding with his circumatances, tliat ho Inbored a good doal under tho protended woight and magnitudo of somo seorat in connac- tiou with tho adoption of Matz’s plan, and a striking coincidoneo is found to oxist, not only in tho unvaried aud gonoral sentimonts, but in the languago and oxpreskions used by Bailoy on that occasion, and it scoms impossible that such & porfoct similitude could exist without bis identity with the combination by whom Matz's plan wns adopted. I cannot holp inforring from the tone of tho convorsation used by Matz (for Blatz said that tho Irish ought to adopt his plan as ho lost the North 8ido job) that In the ovent of his plin boing adopted, Mike B. Bailay would figuro in tho lustory of Chicago nu Gurvoy, tho plasteror, did in tho history of Now York, for Matz l)romisnd him_tho contract in my prosonce if hin plan was adopted, Ido not moan to ropont overy word that Bailoy ut- tored in connection witK the lobbying for the favored plan, still loss is it my intention to deny mysolf ifo priviloga of being porsundad that desiro to promote his own Interests must have impolled him to advanco boyoud the limits of & moderate and digintorgsted olicy as 8 momber of the Common Council of Chicago.
