Tho nnnunl éamp-meeting of the Chicago Dis. trict of the Rock River Conference bogan yos- torday ot Dosplaines, in tho beautiful grounds belonging ‘to the Camp-Meoting Association. The attendancs of lnymen and clergymon is fully a3 lnrge ag that of last yoar, and, with the amplo rccommodations privided for body and soul, an nteresting nnd improvisg series of meetings may bo oxpacted. Tiochefort is not more popular with tho Com- munists then with the Govérnment whick hag sransported him for belng & Communist. Nows somes that his fellow-Communists on'the vessol which is bearing them all to New Caledonin have tried to lynch him, 'This is an outbreak of the aame dissatisfaction with his vagarios which, at the timo of the Commuuo, instigated soveral at- tempts on his life, ns his associates interpreted more than one of hisirregularitics as an evidenco of bad faith. Ald, McGenniws, of the Common Council Com- mitteo on Fire and Water, hns made o minority roport concorning the nomination of Mr. Bate- ham for Firo-Marshal. Ho recommends that lLie boconflrmed. Tho two objections ngainst Mr. Batobam—of nge and want of oxporienco—ho aoswers by saying, fivet, that ho 1a47 years of sgo, and in the very helight of his physical and meutal powers; and, accond, that ho was con- nceted with the Firo Dopartmont of this city antil 1866 or’67, and has then and since given » great deal of pationt study to tho management of tired. Pittsburgh was in a fright for a fow hours yesterdey morning over tho prospect of furnish~ ingnpiece of news like that which Chicago, Loslon, and the two Portlands have given news- paper roadors. A largo fauk of oil explod- ed, and shot strenms of Durning fluid in svory direction. Two other tanks followed suit, tho intonse lhoat baflled all tho cofforts of the fivomon fo reach the conflagration, and, ns lum- bar-yards, oil-rofinerics, and large manufactorios woro on overy sido, tho eituntion was appalling suogh. Fortunatoly tho flames wero got undor 2ontrol, and burned thomselves out with com- paratively little loss, The Iberiaus of Spain, headed by Emilio Cas- selur, tho ouly prominent publioman in Spain ~ho neems to have any idea of what Ropublican Foverument meeus, have a Constitution which is slosely modeled upon our own Constitution and Duclaration of Independence. It declares the inherent rights of man, providea trial by jury, freedom of worship and education, the complote separation of Church and State, the abolition of titles, domicilinry rights, and the election of a Prosidout. Tho new Constitution, a4 it stands, sontains the vory essence of Republicanism, but ihorois faint hopo that it will aver bo adopted s the Constitution of Bpain, Not until ail the [rreconcilables and Unreasonables in Spain are kilied off can there be a prospect of tho adop- tion of such an instrumount. Tho verdict of tho Coroner's jury which has aust finished its investigation of tho Chicago & Alton “aceldent,” fastens the rospousibility for tha lous of life upon the engineer and conductor of the freight train, who are declared to Lave been *feriminally carcless,” and to have acted m disregard of tho rules of thoir employers. Engivcer Puffenborger is etill in prison await- ing the course of the law, aud Conductor Beane ds atill at large. AN tho ovi- donco strongthons tho caso against him, but the theories on which his homicidal conduct {s explained diffor widely. One account avers that ho was o intoxicated while running his Inst trip that it waa neoossary to help him on his trein; anather, stating that ho was subjoct to occasional fits of inaenity, Is too evidently proliminary to tho usuul ‘*‘omotionsl” plea. Ihoro is no doubt that ho s stlll within the limits of Will Counly, and, from negotiations which his father is essaying with the authorl- tiew, it Is likely that ho would surrender if in- surcd ngainst a lynching. The Chicago produce markets wore moderate- 1y activo yostorday, but grain was weak. Meus pork was quict and steady, st 16.95@10.00 for cash, and 16.85@16.90 sollor Soptomber, Lard was nctive and steady, at 7@8o per Ib for winter, and 73¢@73{c for summer rondered. Meats wore quiet and firm, at 7)¢{@8o for shoulders, 0}4@95¢e for short middles, and 10@ 120 for sweat-picklod hams.

Tho cattlo mnrkot was fairly aotive for good tocholee, but dull for obhor grados. Bhoop woro stoady at 82.75@4.50, e The tolegraph has alrendy statod that the Byndic, or Governmont of Romo, Las prohibited all persons from making processions hioroafter through tho city undor tho protonso of going upon pilgrimages. The probibition is based upon the fact that such gatherings are detrl mental to the public welfaro, not only becauso they engender dangorous political oxcitomonts, but also boenuse thoy are liablo to originato postilonces liko tho cholora and other maladies. Tuo Prussian suthoritios hinve also forbidden cortaln roligious processions, like tlat of Corpua Christi, which has always been ono of tho most prominent annual fostivals in Gor- maony. Tho oxamplo sot in Europe might woll bo imitated in this country in a more gencral sonso. The authoritios, at loast, should have tho discrotion to rogulato all procossions and summarily forbid thoso which subsorve no uso- ful purporo. About the worst purposo to which & man can be put is to place him in & proceesion. Thoy are in the main very ridiculous and often vory harmful affairs. G The Wardonship of tho Illinois Ponitontiary, from which the lato Capt. Bmith was removed under such mournful circumstances, has boen fillod by tho appointment of Maj, J. W. Wham, and tho Governor hns given Maj. Wham's placo among thoe Ponitentinry Commissionora to tho Hon. John M. Bouthworth. Al decont peoplo willbo glad that tho unscomly strife for Capt. Bmith's position, which actually began over his body, hag boen ended by this appoiutment. A dispatoh from Jolist on Monday last statod, on tho authority of nson of Gov. Boveridge, that thero had been no loes than five applications for tho offico of Warden, in place of Capt. Smith, Capt. Bmith did not dio until 8 o'clock Mondny morning, and tho nows of his decoaso was not promulgatod untl Monday sftornoonm. It is probablo that all these applications for his ehoos woro mado beforo tho Dronth had departed from his body, and, 88 Gov. Doveridge'was at tho bed- gido of the dying man, tho application of tho five Nasbys must have como orowding into tho room whore tho sulloring Wardon lay. Tho toxt of tho now Gorman ecclosinstical 1w has just beon published by thoe Brooklyn, Catholio Review. 1ts principal provisions aro ns Tollows : No Catholic priest can publish any dis- ciplinary Inw or act, oxcopting 18 it affects purely roligious matters or concerns the clorgy ; no priosts can inflict or publish any disciplinary ponaltios against any porson for fulflling tho lnws of tho Stato, whether thoy conflict or not with the laws of the Church; no priost can pub- lish any disciplinary pensltios to be inlicted upon porsons for voting or not voting at publio elections; no pricst can namo any porson by nemo in the publication of disciplina- 1y ponaltios. Tho ponalty afxed for tho violation of these provisions is & fine of not less than 1,000 thalors, and imprisonment for not Icss than two yoars, and morcover, the offender can bo suspended from practicing tho profession of clorgyman, These provisions, which are ap- plicablo to all othor donominations as well as Catholics, inaicate the doterminntion of the Prugsian Government to effect & comploto sep- aration of Church and Stato, As far as thoy mako the Btato laws superior to thoso of the Church, tho Church authorities will probably yiold without quoation, from forco, if for no othor ronson. Whon, Lowevor, tho Stato under- tales to suspond a clergyman from his func- tions, it infringes upon one of tho most sncred prorogatives of tho Clurch in atl ages, nud this poiialty will not bo executed without bitter op- position, e——— A romarkable illustration of the lnw of libol in Pennsylvania is furnished by tho racent arrost of James B. Hodgekin, Tronsurer of the Atlantio & Great Wostern Railroad. - In Novembor, 1872, Mr. Henry F. Swootzor was Gonoral Managor of that rond, and his office was at Meadville, Ponn- sylvania, The Company, surmising that cortain frauds wore committod in that oflice, dispatched Mr. Hodgskin to sMeadville, from Now York. He soized tho books and pupers, charged Swootzor with froud, and compromised with tho Inttor on his paying over 75000 to the Company. Ho immediately made a roport of tho facts in writing to tho Prosidont of tho road. In July, Hodgskin, passing through Meadville, was arrosted ona chargo of libel brought by Bwaetzor, and roleased only after finding bail in $100,000. e is alsoto bo prosecuted criminally, and the peculiarity of the Ponnsylvania law is, that, though Hodgskin may prove the truth of evory statement in his roport, ho may neverthe- lessbo convicted of libel and sent to tho Peni- toutiary. The law of tho Stato permits of no Justification for libel, and anything is libelous, no mattor how true, which is ealculatod to affoct o man's persounl charactor. Any newspapor or other publisher giving publicity te auything disparaging to any man in Ponusylvania mny, it caught within that Stato, bo sent to tho Peniton- tiary, no mattor how truo his publication may havo been, Tae Trinvse some days sinco printod in com- parison the Massachusotts Congroseional delo- gations of twenty-five years ago and now, with pay-rolls, showing that wiulo tho delogation which included Danfol Wobster, John Davis, John Quinoy Adams, George Ashmun, Robert O, Wintlirop, Julius Rookwoll, Obarles Hudson, Johu @. Palfroy, and others, served an entiro torm (two years) for $37,839, pay and miloage, the prosont delegation, which includes Butlor, Duwos, Hoar, Gooch, Buflinton, Williams, Har- ris, and othors, divides 873,125 bofore over their Congrossionnl sorvico beging, and will, furthor on, divide an additional sum of $121,875 (nnd Lave their ‘“necesuary traveling expenson ) for servico and rosidonce in Washingten. Now, this comparison wag not intended to convoy oven a hint thot Wobster sud Lis colloaguos wers sufticlently woll pald, but rather to eug- gest tho natural commont, as an an- awer to soveral argumonts for the salury- increaso, that blg pny doos mot, of itself, imply & command of the best talont. Whon Wob- storand Lis assoclates divided $87,800in por diom and mileage, thoro wore not lacking thoso who thought 1§ too much. Novortholess, the first successors of the Webstor delegation put their poy at §3,000 oach, and divided $72,000 In sala- rles, with miloage oxtra; tho next lot put thoir pay at 85,000, and divided $120,000 in salarios, with milenge oxtra ; and now the divislon is on gation ling beon gradiug down from Wob- ator and Winthrop to Den Butlor and Ginory Twichell. HMowevermuch, as tho Now York Zvening Post snys, Wobstor was forcod to roly on Boston morchants to “lolp him out,” thore s no moemory of efficial ncandal attaching to him or to his delogation ; whilo tho seandals that attach to Butlor aud his asuociatos will livo ns long as Amoriean history is read. It was not until Congrossmen bLogun to put a high prico on thomsolvos that thoy nlso bogun to make morchandiso of thoir voles. It was not until Congressional place was worth having ' in o pecuniary way " that aspirants for honor gave room to aspirants * on tho mako,” And Mnssa- chusotts, onco proudest of tho sisterhood, is not alono in the shame of theso ovil days. —— Tho last number of thoe Financier rocapitu- Intes the condition of sevorsl of tho Bonthorn Btatos with roforonco to their publio dobts. It 18 thought thoro {8 a proparation for partial ro- pudintion in the constitutional amendmonts in North Carolina, which woro adopted nt tho Into oloction, Tho Attornoy-Gonoral of Florida has nlrondy givon an opinion that tho bonds of the Jacksonville, Ponsacola & Mobilo Railroad can- not and will not bo paid, In North Carolina and Bouth Carolins, Iawsuits have boen begun by interested partios to test tho quostion. Tho Inte fssuo of bonds in Georgia haa beon romark- sbly well negotiated, on aocount of the plucky position that Btato lias takon. Without in any songo palliating tho doctrin of repudiation, the Financier frankly saya that ropudintion of the carpot-bag debt is rather o question of good policy than of moral obligation. It rogards tho talk of ropudintion ng quito natural under tho circumstances, and belioves that ropudiationitself is inovitablo, unloss somo improvomont in tho material condition of tho people takos placo be- forolong. Itenys that any othor people would raleo tho samo quostion under tho samo droad- ful pressuro of iniquity, and that the disoussion in rogard to tho mon-payment of fraudulent bonds is no reflection upon tho morality of the Bouthern poople, whatover may bo the judgmont in rogard to its policy. Simon Camoron has beon interviowed by tho Now York Herald on eoversl matters of temporal concern, from which it appears that Simon don’t know what to mako of tho third-term principlo, but thinks thot Gen. Grant wouldn't run for o third torm if ho could; that “tho groat mistako mado in that Crodit Mobilior business waa tho systomatio lying dono by somo of thoso in- volved ;" that Conkling would be tho best man for Chiof Justico, but he (Simon) don't beliove ho would take tho placo on account of highor Lonors being in store for him; that Sonator Howo is & worthy man; that he (Comoron) has drawn bis back-pay, bolioving that it belongs to him a8 much as any dollar ho over earned iu his lifo; that tho miscrablo pittances wo aro paying our public ofllcers aro Louding to fill all tho of- ficos with rich mon to the oxclusion of the poor. Comoron's opinion of Ben Butlor desorves to bo published entire: Correspondent—Do you know anylhing of Gen, Dut-~ ler's chances in Masenchusetis Senator Cameron—No; but T do wish in my heart thot bo may bo succossful.

Tho Royal Commission for tho investigation of the chargos ngainst tho Canadinn Paclfle Credit Mobilior hns evidently beon packed in the inter- osts of tho Governmont. Thoe only effoct of this attempt to ovado justico will bo to strongthen the Opposition party,.which hus already shown strongth onough to forco the Govern- mont into sn investigation, oven though it bo o partial one. The Iatest English papers furnish some intolligonco, which also has an important bearing upon the mattor. On the 2d inst., 8ir O. Dilko asked Mr. Glad- stono in Parliamont what steps were being taken to ascortain tho truth or tho falsehood of tho Canadian Pacifio scandal, and also whothor the couhtry would refrain from guaranteoing any portion of the Pacific Railroad loan uwntil tho clarges woro disproved. With rof- orenco to the firsb quostion, Mr. Glad- stone roplied that tho clarges wero de- cidedly within tho power of tho Logislatura of the Dominion, and that tho Cauadian Ministors woro rospousiblo to their own and not to tho English Parlinmont for thoir acts, - Ioe, there- fore, thought it was not a matter in which it was either compotont or desirablo for the Eng- lish Parliament to intorfore. With referonco to tho queation of tho loan, Mr. Giadstono furthor explained that it would not bo influenced at all by thisscandal, inasmuch ag this loau was not o grant to the Pacific Railrond Company or any othor corporation, but to the Dominion of Canada (although the loan was made with direct roforonco to its application to tho Canadian Pacific Road). ‘Theso docisions thorofora limis the contost to Canada, and tho Canadinns must fight it out amoug thomsolves, without ofthor help or opposition from the mother country. With » fair flold and no favors, the Opposition must evoutually carry tho day. ‘WORK FOR THE NEXT CONGRESS, Tho sesertion is mado in Harper's Weekly that, “unless somo new Crodit Mobilior investi~ gation puts a stop to tho publio businens, some- thing will be dono at tho next session of Con- gross toward tho ostablishment of & Govern- ment telograph.” Tho same journal thon pro- cocdy, a8 an organ of “ Cisarism " naturally would, to urgo tho considoration of the project. Tho condition wag well thought of. If thero shall bo no Crodit Mobilier investigation in tho noxt Congrees, thoro Ia likoly tobo an oceasion for othor inveatigations not losa imporative, and, ponding the satisfactory disposition of all the frauds now before the country, tho Govornmont tolegraph schemo will scarcoly bo reached. Lot us seo what iuvostigations will domand the at- tontion of tho next Congrous, First—1Thero {s tho Contract aud Tinance Com- pauy, whioch holda tho samoe relative position to the Central Pacific Rallroad that Oredit Mo- Dilior holds to the Union Pacifie. Wa infor from the lato specchof Gov. Booth, of California, that tho pooplo on the Wostorn Coast aro thoroughly sronsed to the sonso of oppres- slon which they and tho wholo country have suffored st the hauds of this gigentio ring. Thore {8 littlo doubt that ita affairs will bo 105,000 and *“*nocessary travellng oxpenses,” In thoso twealy-five years, thereforo, while tha cost of & Masunchusetta delogation to the peo- plo hae boen geading up from $57,830 to more [ L L S S KRR N AV EPY o foreed upon tho cousideration of Congross, and, it thoy are, they will mako a worso showing, if possible, than Oredit Mobilier, Becond—Tho salary-grab will bo a leading fea- AR L LY ™a a- S poaple Is that it shall reccive tho very first con- sidoration, It public sontiment ia consulted, its ropoalt will not ocoupy vory muoh.timoj but, as tho mafority of tho noxt Congrosa aro committed to tho support of tho bill, oithor through back- pay, or forward-pay, or hoth, the fight will prob- ably bo long and Lotly contestod, T'hird—Tho Fort Bnelling swindlo will make a loud eall for investigation, Congress will have to dectdo whothor the War Dopartmont can give titlo to half o million dollars' worth of proporty in o clandestiio mannor without considoration and without warrant from Congress. If it ean, tho peoplo want to know it ; if it can’t, the poo- plo will demand that Steolo shall bo’ forced by due procoss of law to disgorgo the plundor, and that those who wero guilty of botraying the Gov- ornmeont interosts into his hands shall be pun- ishod forit. Fourth—The Louisiana cago, which was choked off by the adjournmont of tho Senato, domands Congrossional action moro than it did at that timo, Tho utter and abject dospair in which tho poople of that Stato are plunged ia illustrated by tho advico rocently givon by Mr. MoEnory to “lus constituents, to domand that the Foderal Governmont shall ostablish & protectorate there, it it will not roscuo tho Btato from tho prosont ‘bogus Governmont which is pushing tho pooplo headlong into bankruptey and ruin. Fifth—Tho Now York Custom Houso wants in- vontigating moro than it did in tho timo of Tom Murphy and Loot and Btocking. Not only have the former abusoa beon rovived under new names, but additional abuses havo boon fur- nishod in the systom of blackmoiling that has beon adoptod. Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Co. can gearcoly fail to bring their caso boforo Con- gross. Itisnot improbabla that Duden Frores "% Co. willbo able to mako out a similar caso. Tho wholo mercantile community of New York, and indood of the ontiro country, aro dooply in- torested in baving this blackmailing systom ox- posed and supprossed. Sizth—Thecasos of Judges Durell, Dalahay, and Bherman will call for invostigation, uuless Con- gress is willing to soe tho United Blates Judicinry fall to tho same level of jobbery and corruption that tho caucus systom hos roached. Seventh—Soveral nowly-clected Sonntors will en- torupon Congresaional lifoin acondition favorablo for investigation,—among thom Jones, of Nova- dn, Pattorson, of South Carolina, aud Hipple- Mitchell, of Orogon. Theso suggestions are suflicieut, perbaps, to convinco Harper's Weekly that thore will bo enough * Credit Mobilier investigationa " to oc- cupy tho attontion of tho mext Congress. If thoy have no worso result than to postpone the consideration of tho Government telograph in- dofinitoly, tho poople will have no reason to complain, If Congresa slights tho invostiga- tione which it ought to make, and takes up Postal Telegraphy, it will simply supply material for more * Credit Mobilior investigations” in the future, and probsbly woreo oncs, THE CHICAGO EXPOBITION, Anybody who has passed along Michigan ave- nuo from Monroe streot southward during the pust fow wooke, and romarked tho rapid and gracoful growth of tho Exposition building, will ontertain no doubt as to the success of tho ox- ‘Libition, which will probably be in a good work- ing condition boforo tho 18t of Octobor. The enorgy and good managomont that have suc- cooded in erecting a building of such magnifi- cent proportions, in o short a time and with- out any ostontation, may be trusted to insuro tho success of tho Exposition to which it is to be dovoted, Thero aro thousands of peoplo even in Chicago who aro unaware of the magnitudo +which this entorpriso has sssumed. A building which ocoupios tho space of two whole blocks and ono strect, with a height from which the whole city and surrounding country can be soen ; substantially built and with more than the usual procautions against fire ; of gracoful proportions and ploasing appoaranco, is the quiet, un- assuming work of private capital, contrib- uted by business. mon intorested in tho progrens of tho city, and within two years after tho destruction of their own property and the loss of their own business. It Is an cloquent monumont to the recuporative onorgios of Chi- cago. It will show to tho country that Chicago not only possessed within itself tho means for supplying &ll that had boon lost in the great firo Toss than two yours ago, but was able, in addition thereto, to provido facilities never befora offered for the display of tho trade and commorce of wlhich it is tho natural contre. It is cssontially for tho benefit of tho Northwest that the Exposition has beon organized. Thore has boon no intontion of giving it a mnational, infernational, or univorsal character. Wo have homa intorests euough to domand all the atten~ tion that an annusl Exposition can give ; and, while thoro is nothing conatrained about the en- torprise, and no disposition to exclude any who desiro to avail thomaolves of the occasion, tho Eapoeition really belongs to the Northwest, It ia caloulated to illustrato tho progrons aud pros- ont condition of the production and industries of tho vast district of which Chicago may be said to bothe capital. Tho rapid advance which has boon made in tho undortaking is a timely comment on tho greator ofMiciency of private enterprise ss com: pared with public works. This Exposition bas ‘been organized, the stock subscribed, the plans adopted, and the building noarly comploted, during the timo that City Aldermon and County Commigsioners have boon haggling over the competition for tho Court-Houso plans, Pri- vale entorprise goos quictly to work in a businoss-like way, and accomplishes its pur- poses, with no unnccossary delays, no suu- plefon of jobs, and no favoritism to clog its steps. If the final adoption of & plan for the new Court-Houso ehall lend to tho orection of ag appropriato and credit- able a building for the uses to which 1t is to bo devoted a8 tho Expomtion Building s forits purposoes, tho pooplo of Ohleago will have reason to congratulato thomsolves, 3 ‘Tho completo succoss of the Chiongo Exhibi- tlon la botokened, outslde of tho energy of the mauagers, by tho faot that all tho spaco was engagod sometimo ago, and that thoro has boen & mnocessity for onlarging tho gallory. Tho population of Ohicago nlono s large onough to supply all the attend- anco that could be desirod for three or four wooks, In addition to this, tho number of stran- gors in the city on ordinary business, all of whom will be sure to viewt the Exhibition, will furnish 8,000 or 4,000 visitors & doy. Bousidos theso, thoro will be & flood of peoplo from all parts of {he Northwest, who will come with the joint purposo of seelng now Chicago and inspeoting tho Exposition, Tho absonce of tho usual cowmpotitive feature of similar oxpo- sitious, no prizes belug offerod, will contribute to tho logitimate success of tho Octobor fair. There will be but ouo common aim among all exhibitors,—~to display thoir.ar- tiolos to tho bost advantage, and to lmpross upon tho publio tho roal progresa that s moking in tho arts, sclences, manufacturos, and industrios of the country. Thers will bo no potty joal- ousies, dlstracting’ rivalrios, or scandalous fa- voritiom, Probably tho most valuablo and in- struotivo musoum in all Europs st tho prosont timo {a tho Albort Momorial Institute,in London, which {8 & pormnnont oxposition of tho manu- faclures and arts, ench businoss boing complote in itoolf, and conducted boforo the oyos of the visitor in all its dopartmonts without oompetition, but with tho mumo dotall and rogularity as in tho largo manufactures. It in probablo that tho Ohicago fair this fall will load to tho ostablishment of & pormanont Expo- eition, and it is on this account partioularly for- tunate that tho somowhat menningless, and nomotimos unfalr, systom of modals and prizes has not boon adopted. — BHOOTING POLICEMEN, Within tho past day or two, four policomen have boon shot at, while engeged in tho dis- chargo of their duties, by dosporadoos, who wors cither engnagod in burglarious oporations or woro found undor susplolous olrcumstancos, which ‘warranted tho police in stopping them and call- ing thom to nccount, OfMoor O'Neill was shot in tho shoulder by = burglar, who Lad escapod from one of tho preventivo polico, and who bad boen caught coming out of s store in which ho had colleoted together alargo quantity of plunder for romoval. Fortunatoly, the wound was only a flosh one. Officor Jacobs surprised three burglars at work in & saloon and billiard baollin tho North Division, Without walting for holp, although near his polico station, ho sprang in among them and attompted to arrest thom. Ono of the gang, who waa hard prossed, turnod and shot tho ofticer in the nock, inflicting a fatal wound, and tho whole gang escapod, Tho third cago was that of Officer, Cudmore, who, while trying to arrost ono of throo roughs, was shot, by anothor of tho crowd, through the thigh, inflicting & severe wound. Tho fourth caso is that of Officor Olanoy, & new man on the force, who, night beforo last, ospled threo sus- pleious charaoters going intoan alloy on Mich- igan avenue, noar.T'wonty-second stroot. Ho called ont to thom to halt, when ono of them in- stantly turned round and fired at tho officer, tho bull fortunately golng through his hat instead of through his hond, ns had beon dosignod, Tho gang then mado good their escapo. This mattor of shooting policomen ig boginning to wear & serions nspoct, and if somo method of checking it is not adopted, it must sorlously affect the of- ficiency of tho forco, and more orloss domoralizo tho mon. Tn many of the polico districts, whoro a fow men have to patrol a large aren, and aroe necessurily at loug distancos from cach othor, tho odds against thom aro foarful. Tho polico- mon havo to travel alone. Tho desperadoss travol in squads and are always woll armod. Profeseional burglars and thioves know tho boats of policomon, and havo thus ovory adviutago in their favor. It is impossible for one policoman to handlo ono of theso gangs, espocially if thoy aro armed. They know thoir power well enough, and the chances of escape, and thoy are exorcis- ing tljs powor with tho utmost boldnoss, shooting policomon not only a8 tho last moans of escape from arrost, but ovon when thoy aro stoppod or questionod, and when thoy could effect tholr ogcapo without rosort to the pistol. Thoro aro two ways in which this elarming condition of things may bo romoedied. One is by a ro- tort in kind. Policomon do not use their pistols enough, Tho shooting of these four officors, without any attempt on their part to reply in the samo manner, and the escape of tho dosporadocs, will encourage all othors of the samo olase to do likewige, and we may expect to honr of & continuance of the practice until two or three of tho scoundrola got thoir desorts with cold load, Thero Is nothing o demoralizing to theso brutal cowards as tho doath of $wo orthroo of their numbor, and tho knowledge that s po- licoman can shoot as well as they. At tho same timo, this involvos a dolicate question, s it would be very unwise to give policomon a whole- sale discrotion in shooting, from the fact that many of thom havo but very little discretion of thoir own. Another way to rogulato the matter would bo to have the patrolmon ‘travel in pairs instoad of alone. Those desperndoos are wOW- ards at beat, and would soldom haye ¢uo tomori- ty to attack two policomou. Arrests also would be mado sbsolutoly certain. Thero wonld also bo tho consolation that, if ono of tho policeman was disabled by & shot, the scoun— drol himsolf would got shot by the formor's companion, To this mothod aleo thereis the objeotion of the searcity of policomon, and tho fact thot o still larger aresn would be loft un- guarded than is now tho caso. One or the other of theso methods, however, must engage tho attontion of the authoritios, and it ia possible that thoy mey be able to mako thom practicablo. Ouo thing i8 cortsin—if these scoundrols find out that thoy can shoot at policomon with impu- nity and thus offoot their escapo, the whole forco will soon bo demoralized, and the eutire commu- nity will bo loft oxposed to tho dopredations of those ganga of scoundrols, | THE DEBTOR CLABS. Troasurer-Goneral T, E. Spinner, the com- plota lottor-writer, has just published anothor eseny on tho national fluauces. Having writton to ovory person in tho United Btatos ou the sub- Joct, ho, somo months ago, wroto an elaborato Iottor to & gontleman in Australin, The presont lottor ia addressed to an oditor at Frankfort, in Germauy, Gon. Spinuer, aftor onumorating tho causos which have dolayed the resumption of apecio paymonts, adds tho following statomon! “Thon como tho real oppononts of the moasure per ge, Ohief among thesoia tho dobtor class, which, in this country, 19 largoly in tho majority, The persons cone atituting this majority deeiro to pay their dobts with cheap monoy. This suggoests the inquiry whether tho debtor clugs can, in any sonso, bo In tho majority with- out involving a condition of gonoral baukruptoy. Whoen tho debts of tho wholo people exceed thoir credits or assots, the country musc of necessity bo bankrupt. Have we in this country any oclass of tho coms munlty besidea bankrupta who are exclusively debtors? A man who owos one hundrad dollars, and has that much monoy due to him, or on do- posit, or in his hands, canuot be said to bolong to the debtor class, or, if Lo oan thua bo classed, ho must also bolong to tho oreditor olass, Bpoaking in a financial scnse, thore must ben oreditor for avery dobtor,.or, more strictly speak- ing, evory dollar of dobt §s offsot by a dollar of orodit, Every debt is owod to somebody. There are hut comparativoly fow persona who owe debts who have not a corresponding amount duo to thom, ILvery wholosale morchaut who buye on crodt solls on oredit, and if Lia customors, the rotailors, soll on crodit, then in onoh caso the eroditors and dobtors arsequally balanced, Bo long asa croditor is cssontinl to the oxistonco of a débtor, and as in alinoat evory instanco tho man who {s dobtor 1s at the ssmo time o creditor to somo other person, it is dif- oult to underatand how the dobtors can so largo- 1y oxeoud tho craditors. Cortatnly, thora can bo no difforence in tho amount owned Ly dobtors aud the amount owing to croditora, Of the peraons ongaged m ocenpations of all kinds in tho United Btatos, moro than ono-halt aro ongagod in agriculture. As a class, tholr In- dobteduess fs small, and only from season to soagon. Thoy pay thls indebtodnoss with thoir productions, Whon they cannot produce cnougl to pay thoir dobis, thoy aroinsolvont., What they produco is tho rosultof thoir labor, and thoy aro cortainly not interested in oxchunging that labor for choap monoy. Tho next most nu- morous class fs composed of those who live by their wookly or monthly wages, Thoso oithor board or keop houso. They ave the rotall purchasers. On Monday morning they bogin work, and at tho samo timo becomo dobtors for their boord or ront, or to their grocors, butchers, and hncksters. During tho weok or month intervoning bofore pay-dy, these persons aro all dobtors, aud the aggregate of thelr debts is vory Iargo; but thoy aro at tho same time oroditors to tho smount of thelr acorued wages, and, whon they receive the Intter, thoy pay their debts. Gon. Splnner probably conslders the mon who owe monoy on bond and mortgoge as contituting tho debtor olass. It would Lo ox- travagant o assumo that theso constitute nlarge majority of tho peoplo. But ara they oxclusive- 1y debtors? Whon they borrow money, it is pre- sumod that thoy Invest it ln something, put it out whore it will produco; thoy oithor lond it to othors, invest it in stocks, or pub it in'business whore, in the shapo of manufac- tures or othor articles, it is disposed of atn profit for cash or in crodit to othors. In eithor cago, to tho oxtent of thelr solvenoy, thoy must efther have tho monoy itsclf or a corrosponding crodit, When thoy do not havo eithor, thon thoy are baukrupt. Ia point of fact, it Gon. Spioner’s etatoment ‘woro truo, that the majority of tho peoplo owed moro than was coming to thom, the majority of the poople would be bankrupt, and the country would bo actunlly insolvent. This is probably not the kind of news which Gen, Spinner intend- od to send to Frankfort-on-tho-DMain for publica- tion. Iteoemsto show how dangerouss pure patriot can bo to his native country it heis al- lowed tlgo unlimited use of pens, ink, and paper. 8T. LOUIS AND THE IOWA TRADE. Tho Bt. Louis Republican,in tho form of a Iottor from Doa Moines, suggests the portentous inquiry, * Why St. Louie docs not invado Iowa, and wrost from the Modocs of Chicago their ox- clusive hunting-grounds ?” The correspondent hag boon all along tho Des Moines Valloy, and reachos the conclusion that the Iowa people are waiting with the anxioty of **venerable spin- stora for 8t. Louis to come and tako them. At tho eamo timo, tho writor discovered that, though Bt. Louis could afford, and absolutoly does soll, goods 8 por cont' cheapor than Obicsgo, and is, goographically, much nearor to Towa, still, the poople of Iowa can ‘purchaso all thoy need in Chieago, and have tho ‘purchasocs put down in Tows, 1 to 434 por cont cheaper than they can from 8t. Louis. As an itlustration of how St. Louis is appreciated at Des Moines, tho writer eays: “Tho only Bt. TLouis nowspapers that come to this oflico bo- sidos tho Republican are two copies of tho week- 1y Democrat and one copy of the Globe.” Ono of tho spocial griovances under which it is repro- sented Bt. Louis labora in Jowa is the popular judgment that north and south railways aro bat poor affaire; and tho writer dlecovors that this is *“One of tho deop-Inia dovices of shrowd, Chicago Yankeoism and the follows who preach the deep damnablo« ness of north and south railways are the paid emissarios of that Batanic City.” Then follows two columns of spoculation a8 to how 8t.

Tho English judiciary is not only able, but absolutely unimpoachable. Their administration of justico has boon sa uniformly impartial that thore ie little encourngoment for o man to entor upon litigation with- out some good ground. On tho other hand, it is & common practico in this country, not discouraged by busluess men as a rule, to en- gago in litigation for the oxpross purposo of do- Inying sottlomonts, Thoro is an advantage in poying 6 or 7 per cont logal interest for monoy wrapped up in a law-guit whon tho commeoreinl rato ranges from 10 per cent upwards, This custom is one of tho causes why tho dockets aro filled and our courts cloggod with suits that have no merit, but furnish occasion for addition- ol courts, This ia ono of the ovils of litigation in this country which calls for reform.
