N, Y. VAN BOHAAOK, BTEVENHON & RIID, Agonts. The Chicags Tibune, Tuesday Morning, August G, 1873. Bonator Ramsoy and Gov. Austin soom to have succaoded in oliciting ‘s promiso from Mr. Ban- croft Davis’ that tho State Department would do 1l it could to obtain tho rolosso of tho Mani- toban prisonors on bail. To accomplish this, tho Acting-Secrotary of Btato belioves a requost from tho United States Governmont is all’ that will be needod. s & Mrs., Brigham Young No. 17, who finds hor- solf famous ug the firat Mormon wifo who has sued for divorce, has been approached by hor lmeband with offors of compromiso, but s not tobo bought oft at any prico. Hor counsol havo notgiven up her caso, a8 ‘was roported, and it will como beforo Judge Emorson, who has just succaoded Judgo McKonn, to-day. Tarkish fluance does not ususlly afford ox- amples for tho contomplation of .Cau- casian capitalists, but it may be' noted that - in tho negotintion of the mew loan for 875,000,000 just complted by the Sul- tan all provision for syndicato charges or bank- ors’ commissions is oxprosely disallowed. Tho bonds aro to bo issucd at 54, and will bonr inter- est at 6 por cont. In Madison, the Capital Cily of Wisconsin, tiquor-selling was suspended last Bunday by or- der of tho Mayor, A Babbath of unusual quiat was tho rosult. Those who could not restrain thelr appotite for drink were forcod to go outside the city limits for it. As in Cloveland, there woro gome domoustrations agniust tho Inw of o humorous kind, but no serious opposition was madoby tho snloon-keopora or the Gormans. The latter have bogan an ngitation, like that of their Chicngo countrymon, for porsonal and constitutional liborty. ———— None of tho Olaitnants to tho French throno, whotbor they are Bonapartist, Orleanist, or Bourbon, make any secret of their ambitious sepirations, Eugounie is bound to see Napoleon 1V. Emperor of France, and is plotting busily to that end, Paris is in o formont ovor tho meoting of the Count of Paris and the Count do Chambord ot Vienna, This portonds s union of tho forcos and plwns of tho Bourbons and Or- leaniats in their monarchical movement. So serlous is the dangor thought to Lo thas daily meotings are held of tho vigilanco committecs of tho Loft and Extromo Left of the Assombly. 1t sooms impossiblo to Lold any fair argument with the St. Paul Press, but we will try onco niore to mako ourselves understood ns to the Fort Snelling swindle. In its article of Aug. 3, tho Press says in so many words that *the swindlo was consnmmated” by Scerotary Floyd and Attornoy-General Black. Obsorve: 1, the salo was o swindlo; 2, it wes conswnmaled. What, then, was this Into settlomant for? What was ‘‘consummated” then? If the thing was actually consummated by Floyd and Black, thoro was pothing moro to bo dono, ff it was not consummated, and if it was & swindlo, it follows that the swindlo hns beon consummatoed since. That is procisely what is charged, and what tho Bt. Paul Press is trying to wriggle away from, Tho 8t. Louls Republican, having been callod to account for alleged infidolity and treachery to the Domocratic parly, announces that it owes no allogiance to that dynasty and will pay nono. “ Tortunately," it says * we do not neod to look to politicinns of any ereed for maintenanco ; and In declaving an independence of oxisting partics wo moan and oxpect to reccive tho slura and ridiculo of party tools aud servants, becaugo whenever wo shall spoak of politieal subjoects our argumonts and suggestions will ho addressed tointolligent, sonsible, practical citizens, lovors of their Stato and country, and not to blind, un- thinking followera of solflsh domagoguos, Wo do not sock to lend the Demacratic pmty Weo do not protond to speak for it. Wo do nat yonm‘ to bo with tho majorily, except whero the majority is right.” Not unuaturally, tho people of Canada look on tho proposal of the Goverumont to appoiut a Toyal Commission to investignte the Cannda Pacifio mattor very much a8 one would regard a proposal from a crinunal that ho be allowed to chooso his own judge and jury, Theydo not be- lievo thut the truth about the Government's mis- deoda can ho loarned from s Commission ap- pointod by the Government itaolf. A committeo was appointed by the Mouso of Commons to por- form this duty of Iuvostigation, but was cun~ ningly orippled by the Govorumont. If tho Gov- ornmont add to this provocation that of proroguing Darlismont and metting this Toyal Commission at work, it is not likely that the Opposition will give it any notico whatovor, Thoy will koep thelr chargos and ovidenco to thomsolves and awalt the noxt session of Parliament. ‘Tho Chieago praduce markots wore less activo yentordny, oxcopt in corn, and generally atrong, Moss pork was quist aud 10@350 per bl highor, ot 316.87}¢@16.00 cash, and $16.76@16.00 soHor Boptember, Lurd was dull and stondy nt 78¢c por 1 for winter and 73@74¢o for mmmmer rendored, Meats woro quiot and 3§@3¢o higher, t 730 for shouldors, 9X{@8}4o for short mlddles, aud 10@ 12¥(o for swoot pickled hnme, Highwinos wore dull and unchanged, at 03 por gallon, Lake froights wore active, and closed Ifo lower, st Bigo for corn to Buffalo, Flour was quiet and stoady.

That the people hnvo not lont their intorest In | olitics, howovor llitlo thoy ‘muy have como to caro for mero politicians, is shown by the well- attonded nnd earnost maotings of the farmeors, which aro becoming so’ numorous. Soveral of theso mootings aro roportad this morning. Thnt Lold Dby tho farmers of Loo Oounty, Tows, Is dosoribod na tho most numorously, at- tondod mooting held in that vicinity for many yoars, and the rosolutions they passod breatho the same epirit of sturdy hatred-of monopoly and politienl thiovery that marke nll tho uttor- aucea of thioso populnr gatherings, Tho res- olutions ndopted by tho Buresu County Anti- Monopolists, who mot at Princoton yestorday, gcout in vigorous language tho iden that re- liof from tho griovances of which the farm- ors complain is to bo got through tho party which haa boon busy in fostering theso vory abueos for tho lnst thirteon yonrs. Thoy call for the formation of n mow party, soparato and in- Qopondent. Tho Stato Logislature s consured for having spont fonr months, and o quarter of & million dollars in doing what ought to have boon accomplished with one-third that expendituro of timo and money, and slso for adjourning over to 1874, The building of n now State-Houso at Bpringflnld; ot o cost of §5,000,000, in these dnys of high taxos and poor pricea for produce, is so- voroly ‘roprimanded. ‘Tho salary-thiovos got their usual trontment. . ———— Furthor investigation of tho practicability and inexponsivoness of introducing iron pipes: into all high buildings, for conducting tho water to the roof and the soveral floors in timo of firo, hng confirmed all that Las boon said in Tne TRIBUNE in favor of it. Whon tho suggestion was first mado,*just after the burning of the Drako-Far- woll Building, in 1870, thore was not one of theso pipes in tho city. Thoy are now found in tho Shorman House, Hala's Building, corner of Btato snd Washington stroots, the Slaals-Zeilung Building, Respor Blook, Portland Block, Paclfle Hotel, Dore's Duilding, Major Block, American Express Building, and probably mauy othor first-clss struotures. It 18 enid thot tho Sin- gor Building, whero Saturday's fire occurred, bad o pipe of this description, butin an unfin- ishiod condition, so that it could not bo used. This was neglect, for the roason that the pipes can bo comploted and made roady for use as soon a8 tho walls aro up, Had this boon donoe in the BSinger Building, it is cortain that tho fire would have beon checked an hour or two sooner, and probably 340,000 or $50,000 saved. This precau- tionwae justes necessary as tho iron shutters which had boon adjusted on tho east, oralley, side of the building as a protection agaiust fire from without. Tho numboer of buildings which hove already been provided with theso pipes shows that their usofulncss ig tolorably woll undorstood, and thio expori- enco of the Bingor firo will probably impress builders more than over with tho advantages thoy offer. Wobavo beon informed that the cost of an iron pipe, of suitable size, with ono inlot on tho sidowalk and five hoso connoctions at tho uppor storics and on the roof, is only 260, Theroe arc no patents on the proposed ap- pliance, and the pipes can bo made in any ma- chine-shop. Tho cost s trifling compared with the protection which thoy offer. POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK. Thore is just now n sentiment going the rounds of the Republican newspapors to this effoct: 4Tt is mot for Tammany to call the Credit Mo- bilier rascality to account.” Tammany horo ovi- dontly stands for the Demooratio party and Crodit Mobilior for tho Republican party. Tho sontimont is & good one; just as good, aud nearly ag trito, as if it wore ssid that it isnot for one thief to call another thief to account. It doos not follow, however, that tho thicf should not be called to nccount at all, nor does it fol- low that the Ropublican party should nob be called to account for its knavories because tho Democeratic party is not in o condition to uny much by reason of its own villninics. The general charactorization of tho Domocratio party a8 Tammany and of tho Republican party o8 Oredit Mobilier implies corruption on both sides, and teaches as plainly ns possiblo that it is the duty of tho pooplo to call them both to account. ¢ The Adminstration press do not take this view of the caso. Thoy scem to think that, when the Ropublicsn party fs charged with coruption, it is sulicient answer to say that the Democratio party is oqually corrupt, or wae so at tho time tho Government was rescued from its hands, and would bo 8o again if it shonld como into power. Of this kind of argumont is tho demurror entered by the St. Paul Press in tho matter of tho Fort 8nelling swindlo, The facts, ns the Press states them, prove that thore was o swindle, and that it was finally consummated undor the present Administra- tion. But ample comfort is found becauso it was siarled undor o Domocratic Adminis- tration, Tho ealo was made by Floyd, wheu he was Secrotary of War undor Prosidont Buchanan, In the Congressional investigation which fol- lowed, thore was o majority report which con- domned tho salo as unlawful and deolared it vold; but the minority roport, recommonding that tha resolutions of condemuation be laid on tho tablo, and that anothor simply disapproving tho sale bo substituted, was adopted. Tho ne- tlon was, in effact, tho whitewnshing by s Demo- cratio Congress of & rascally transaction under- taken by & Domooratio Administration. But how can all this excuso the consummation of tho samo rascally transaction fifteon years lator by a Republican Administration? Btoclo had ngreed to pay $00,000 for tho Fort Bnelllng Reservation. o made » cnsh payment of 30,000, Instead of paying tho other £60,000 when it becamo duo, Bteolo invented dolays, in which he was encoursged and aided by tho oftlciala who were iu the ring. 'Tho eslo, which was void for fraud in the firut placo, was still further vitiated by 8Bteelo’s failures to make the puyments whon thoy wore duo. This view of the mattor scomed to be nceepted by tho Government, for it took possossion of the fort and occupied it as bofore. A good many years aftor, Mr, Btoole bringsina bill of $102,000 ront for the fort, whioh hoclaims a8 his own, deduoting tho €00,000, Then the Administration, now Ropublican, authorized by Congress, also Ropublicun, mokes s sottlemont with Btoolo by giving him full title to 5,000 ncres of land, half of which he has already sold for §200,000, Btoelo had no title to any portion of tho land prior to this settlomont, and no Court would hiavo allowed him more than the $00,000 whioh ko Lad paid, with tho Interost, Indeed, it Is & question whethor ho find not righttully forfellod” thin amount. Iuatend ‘of this, tho Government gavo him 5,600 ncres of ground, probably worth §G00,000 at & low ostl- mate, 'Thia ia tho oxtent of tho swindlo utarted undor Domocratio rule and consumimatod uuder Ropublican rule. w Tho plain deduction from these relations of 1o Ropublican and Domocratio pacty Is that tho poople must snuff them Loth out, If weo havo but two parties in tho country, and one ropre- sonts the L'ammany thioves and the othor Crodit Mobilior thioves, what hopo have the pooplo to escrpo n Bricoession of the frauds and swindlos of the Fort Suolling kind? Rampnnt in thoir oppo- sitlon to oach otbor whon dend and decay- ing issuos aro up, they hunt in pairs whon thoy scont & job or n contrnct. It tho poople havo wmot loat all idon of gelf-protection against political corrup- tion, they must unito in & movement that has for its purposo the disruption of both tho old portios, Noithor one can bring charges against tho othor of which itself has not boen guilty. Tho Tammany pot eannot call tho Credit Mobilior kottlo black, nor viceversa. But & noew party movement, cutting oft from hoth existing par- tion, and, na to all futuro issues, having nothing moro in common with ono than with the other, 15 in & position to handeuff both Tammany and Crodit Mobilior, and dolivey them over to tho tormontors, MR, MORTON’S ELECTORAL REFORM, Tho nnnouncement i8 made that Bonator Morton hos sot himsolt to work in Washington to dovelop his projeat for a now plan of electing tho Prosidont and Vico-Prosidont, n’order that lio may - prosont it to tho noxt Congross. Mr. Aorton introduced the subjoct to tho' Inst Con- gress with o vory ablo spoech illustrating tho nocessitios for a ohango, but no action was tokon. Tho last Congress was too much on- goged with Credit Mobilior investigations and back-pay graba to consider -any kind of roform. Tho presont time {8 very favorabls, however, for o considoration of the subject. Tho question iin no sonso partisan. Tho necessities forn change are found (1) in tho usolessness of the Electornl Collego; (2) in tho political dangors involved in it, sud (8) in tho extra-constitution- aland arbitrary rule established by Congress for counting tho Electoral voto. Tho Electoral Collogo has lost the functions which it was originally intonded it should oxor- oiga. It was tho evident purpose of tho framors of tho Constitution that the poaplo of overy Btato ghould chooso Prosidontial Eleclors whom thoy could trust to soloct a propor porson for tho Ohiof Magistrato without voting directly for any particular porson. 8o long as this systom ob- tainod, tho Eloctoral Collogo was ono of our most important political institutions. But tho plan bas long sinco beon abandoned. Prosidon- tial Electors ars now moroly ropresontatives of parties, virtually pledged to voto for a cortain candidato. Tho people at tho Inst clection ranlly votod for Mr, Greeloy or Gon. Grant, and not for the Electors that wore on tho ticket. Tho Electors wero consequently superfluous, and, as tho systom ia ono that is senrcoly undor- stood by the poople, it would bo wise to drop it. But the Rlectoral Collego, though it can do no good, may do great barm. It, for inatanco, Mr. Qrooloy had boen clocted to the Presidency by the poople, and died ‘beforo the mecting of the Elcctoral Colloges, it iaprobable that tho Elec- toral votos would have boon divided nmong others that should have boon combined on one candidato, and thus tha will of tho pooplo might hovo boen defested by tho election of Gon. Grant on account of such o dlvision, Thero is algo tho dangor, though' it has novor yot arisen, that tho Prosidentinl lectors mny bo inducod by bribery or unfaithfulness to betray their con- stituonts, and rofuse to voto for the ecandidate for whom tho peoplo oxpected thom to vote. The Electoral Collogo systom is thus not only unnoc- essary but dangerous, A still grontor danger in the prosont systom is found in tho authority which Congress has assumed. Tho Constitution says hat tho *‘Prosident of tho Senato, in prosonce of tho Senato and tho Houso of Representatives, shall open all certificates of olection, and tho votes shall thon bo counted.” This gives Cangress no diserotion in tho premises; but Congrosa hag sssumed at once judicial and oloc- tive powors by an arbitrary rule which it has catablished. Undor this rule, the objoction of singlo member Lo tho counting of & vote neces- sitatos o withdrawal of tha Sonate from the joint sossion, and n scparalo consideration by both Touses of the objection. If, on reassombling, both ITouses do not agree to count the voto which has boen objocted to, the vote i thrown out. Tho power is thus conforred upon o majority in Congress, or in elther House of Congress, to dofest an opposition can- didate who may lave beon duly electod. At tho last counting of votes, Congross throw out tho votos of Louisiana and Arkensas, and rojoctod (hruo Eloctoral votes for Horaco Groo- loy, neither of which actions is suthorizod by the Constitution, Ifad tho olection of tho Prosi- dont doponded on the voto of Louisiana or Ar- knusng, tho situation would have beon o very so- rious one, and might oasily have led to rovolu tion and bloodshed. Any proposition to chunge tho prosont systom must, iherefore, Include a romedy for the presont falgo syatom of connting tho votos, as woll as the abolition of tho Elocto- ral Collogos, MMr. Morton's genoral plan is like that formorly advocatod by Mr. Bonton. It requires a division of oll the Blates into Prosidential Districty of equal population and contiguous teritory, the mnjority of district votes to eleet tho Dresident. Tho dotnils of the plan are not announced, Mr. Morton Lhimselt i in favor of & direct popular voto, but proposes this as n com~ promiso, in tho bolief that tho plan of clocting tho Presidont by a dircot popular voto would not bo well received. ‘Tho vote by districts can bo adoptod undor cortain restriotions, withont sace rificing tho Fedoral fonturo of electing tho P'ros- idout by Btatos, To do this, it will bo necessary that oach district sball cortity itavote to tho Btato Governmont, and that the Stato Govornmonta shall cortify tho district votes to Congross. Thero would bo, sy, ninoteon Prosidential Dige triots in Tlinois (this is the number of Congress slonal Dintricls), and this numbor of votos would bo cortifled to Cougress, ray ten for Con, Grant and nino for Mr, Groeloy, = Congress should then bo doprived of all muthority to chango or throw out tho volos a3 they aro cor- tifled. A tho Prosidontlal voto fu not counted Lill February, though the eloction oceurn In No- vembor, thero is amplo time for the judiciary of enol: Btato to doclde disputed olootions, Whera would then bo notliing for Gongross to do but to count the numbor of distriot votes returned to it, and declare the candidato rocolving the mn~ Jority to bo oleotod, “horo wonld bo loss lkoll- hood, undor this system, of tho cloction belng thrown iuto tho Iouse of Ropresontatives, M, Morton seamn to thinl that fEwould also bo n- chocl'on the power of the cnuou.

It will bo remembored that Madomo Luces obtained ber divorce in Now York from tho Baron von Rhadon upon tho ground of marital infldelity, Tho only witnoss waa a do- tectivo, who hed boon ‘sont ‘to Borlin for tho epocial purposo of obtaining evidonce, sud, as tho.dofondnnt - did not appear and tho dotoc- tivo's mtory was uncontradicted, the roferos roported in' favor of the decreo of divorse, which was subsoquontly granted under tho Rovised Statutos which provide that when tho injured party, &t tho timo of tho commission of tho offonso and at the timo of oxhibating the bill of complaint, shall bo nn notnal inhabitant of the Btate, o divorco may be docrood. Binco this do- croo waa granted; tho Baron von Rhadon haa told hia sido of the story in a lotter which lns been already printed in Toe Tniune, In this Iottor, tho ' Baron~ declared that "ho had rocolved . no . intimation whatover of tho institntion - of tho' suit againgt * him or of its result until he -road it in the news- pnpors. In this lottor he furthormoro states that, a8 far baok na Inst nutumn, he commenced & sult against Madame Lucea for abandonment, ‘which i now taking its usual. courso, and also that ho has moved for tho annulmont of tho:do- ereo in tho Bupremo Conrt of Now York.

At the last meoting of the Board of Education of thiu city, tho Buperintondent made a report ‘which bogine with tho following sentouce': In presonting tho recommondation whick fs to fol- low, T would premiao these statomenta: For ono year o havo triod tho oxperimont of tho diknso of corporal punlshment. Ithas suceceded beyond my most sangetia expectations, Undor theso circumstancas, it is not likely that flogging will ever bo restored' to the publio schools. Ono yoar's trinl hios sufilced to explodo the prodictions that it the childron know that flogging waa abolished thera would bo an ond to digeipline, and ordor, and decency in the schools, Tho Suporintondent has been considoring o plen whereby those childron whoso conduct is 8o vi- cious a8 to compol thoir oxpulsion or suspension can bo prqvidod with schools, soparate and apart, from tho other schools, Ho proposos the ostab- lishment of ono or more schiools whoro all pupils committing offongos for which thoy aro suspend- ed can bo gent, as to o reformstory; and ho thinks that such discipline for this'school can bo eatablished a8 will make good boys and good girls of bad boys and bad girls, Tho mistako which the Buperindondent aud the long- timo advoeates of flogging moke i, in eesuming that tho public schools are in aoy senso reformatory or penal institu- tions, Thoso schools are intondod to afford the children who attond them the moeans of instrac- tion in reading, writing, avithmotlo, ote. Tlo inmatos aro oxpeotod and roquired to bo orderly in their behavior, and decent in their manners, speech, and notlons. It is n matter of prime necessity that childron who do'not behave them= solves, whoso conduct is viclous, whose examplo is corrupting, and whose manuers and spooch aro indecent, should bo excluded. The in< toresta of {ho groat body of ‘the chil- dron should .not bo imperiled by asso- ciation with the fow whoeo conduct is criminal in itself or dangerous in its oxample. Tho lattor class, when found in the school, aro, after n fair trisl, oxcluded, either by suspension or expulsion, Thoy can, however, at any time roturn to school whon they have reformed thoir habits, or givo assurance of thoir futuro good bolavior, The Buperintondent now proposos to ostablish soparato schools for this class of chils dron; that whon & boy or girl misbolaves, tho teachor can transfor tho child to this separate sohool ; and from this school ho or shoe can bo tranaforred back whon tho teachor in chargo ro- porks that Lo or sho is sufliclontly roformed, Weo doubt tho advisnability of dny such institu- tion, Thero aro four or five hundred tenchors in tho soliools, each of whom would of necessity bo olothed with the discrotion to trauasfor o child to this reformutory, oach becoming thore- by o colleague of Banyon ag a committiug mag- istrato, The childron sont to this sohool would Lo under tho ban of disgrace; thoy might ag woll bo forced to wosr a badgo indloating that for thelr bad oonduct or habits they wero at- tonding o'roformatory for tho oure of bad boys and bad girls, Paronts would naturally rofuso to lot tholr children attond such & soliool. The exparionce of tho Board of Education in tho mattor of corporal punighmont, that the only eafoty agaiust tho misuso of the disoretionary powor to flog was to discontinue flogglng alto- gother, ought to norvo as n warning ngainat the abunod”thint wounld result from tho power to tranafor n child to this proposed schiool of juve- nilo.roprobatos. -Anothor evil .llkely to result from such a achool would be the nggrogation of all the bad Loyn and givls of a largo district undor one roof, whoro the-‘boginner i ovil wonld hnve tho com- panionship of the adapt; whoro the Lad girl of 10 0r 12 youra would hava tho opportinity of loatning all’ that, waa' Inown by tho bad girl of 16 and the bad boy of 17 or 18, It would bo- como n sort of intalligence offlco whore corrupt mon and dopraved womon wonld find alrendy solosted for them by tho Board of *Educition all the boys and girle already so far prepared for vico 88 ‘to ‘Do unflt -for sesoointion with docont childron attonding tho publio schools.

Now, whon & child is susponded, tho parent rocolvos notico; tho miscondact can bo rectified, and it {a only in & comvaratively fow cases that tho ohild cannot bo rostorad’ with comparative safoty to the tchool. But to sentonco o child to this roform school will Yorover remain’ - disgrace, and tho posver to mako such # sontonce ought nover to bo placod in tho diserotion of any teachor. No child oo ment, to such o sohool could evor. re- turn to the public echool excopt under a stigma and o reproach, which would cling to him or hor forover. .. . Whilo wo think Mr. Superintendont Pickard dosorves credit for the zoal which has induced him to doviso some plan for tho education of thoso unfltted by thoir own conduct for attend- oo on tho public schools, we do not think ho has quite discoverod tho true mothod; nor do wo think he over will until ho diseards the iden that tho publio sohools' aro roformntorfes. In tho meantimo would it not b well to investigato tho oxorciso of tho power of suspension, and whother the number of suspensions might not bo groatly reduced by limiting the rensons thero- for, and limiting the discrotion undor which the powor may be, snd ofton is, abusod? Is it not botter to try and keep & boy or girl inclined to 16 willtal in tho companionsliip of other orderly and woll-behaved children, than to forco them into exclusive sssocistion with childron from whom they can loarn nothing good ?
