The’ two gront powers of tho Ropubli- can party in that State—Alcorn and Amos—are ot loggorheads, The sama Convontion which nom- Inntod Amos rofusod toindorso tho Iollogg Govornment In Louisiana, Ames ohargon Alcorn (1) with teying to got tho whito elomont of Missig- sippl to Joln tho Ropublican party, which would bo fatal to Ames and othor carpot-bsggors, and (3) with golug ovor to tho Domocracy, Alcorn’ comos out and acousos Ames of all orts of bad things, but thnt which will bo most likely to injure him is tho ebargo that ho (Ames) is unfriendly to tho negroes. Alcorn says that whon Ames was Mill- tary Governor of tho Btate, and a law unto him- self, ho might have sscured tho negroes tholr civil rights, but that ho failed to do #o; aud thot 1t was only aftor he (Alcorn) hnd Leen oloctod that the nogroos could ride on tho horse-oars, in firat-clase railrond-conces, ofo,, olo. Aldorn charges, moroovor, that, if Amos should bo elected, thero would bo a war of races in Mississippl. Mr. Bon-iu-Law Ames s80ms to bavo as trying a timo of it in Mississip- pl a8 Mr, Fathor-in-Law Butlor has in Massnchu- metts. Mr, Ames bos succeedod, howover, in got- ting hisnomiuation, and, if Mr, Butler is equally sticeesaful, wo may roasonably oxpect to soo both of them olacted Govornor, and, in duoe course of time, tako tholr soats alongside each othor in tho Unitod Btates Senate. —— The State Journal hints strongly that the ac- tton of the Stato Board of Equalization, in sond- ing for persons and papors to tako tostimony rolative to tho aseessment of railrond proporty, implies oithor briboery or & desixe to be bribed, on the part of & majority of the Board., Tho Board is vory largoly Republican in its composi- tion, and as tho Slale Journal is the central organ of thio party, Its Innuondoes will, porhaps, botaken for something more than thoir worth. Wo don't boliove that there is any bribery in tho case. This is mot o time whon bribes would bo accopted , oven it tondorod. There being an intonso pub- lio feoling on the subjoct of railways, aud an omniprogont suspicion and serutiny upon tho acts of all public ofticors towards railways, no membor of tho Board, unless a most hardened and brazon rascal, would daro to handle a dollar of railrond monoy. The facts of the caso aro theso: It is proposcd at this time to change the wholo systom of railway taxation—to assoss railway property difforontly from othier propor- ty—the provisions of the State Constitution not having beon changed iu that rogard. As tho legality of tho tax-lovy moy by brought in question by the pro- posnd chaugo, tho Bonrd of Rqualization wmay bo excused if they tako all the nocossary stops to ascertain the ground upon which thoy stand, and upon which their netion must rost. It the State Journal can prodico any avidence of Dribery, or attempted bribery, or desired bribory, tho public will bo glnd to Loar tho particulars, and wo promiso to go ay far as that paper in the ITort to exposo and punish the guilty partios. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, Bhortly after the fire, in obedionce to an almost univorsal sentiment, stops wero taken to establish o Public Library inthis eity. The notico of such s purpose eitracted genoral attention in all parts of the country, and in an especial mau- nor met & hesrty respouse in England and vari- ous otbor parts of Europe. The donations of booka from England and Gormany have beon oxtromoly liboral. As soon a8 tho necossary log- islation was obtained, an application wae mado tothe Government of tho United States for tho sito of tho old Custom-Houeo and Post-Ofice, and the romaing of the old buildings, for Pablio Library purposes, The scheme com, meonded itsell to geueral favor. It met tho approval of all classos of citizens and all ‘branches of tuo City Governmout. Tho slayor aud Common Council mado the roquest. To avold an opposition that would naturally have boon mado in Congrass to a naked grant of such valuable property to Chicago, it was proposed to ask tho Government to oxchango the Custom- House lot for tho old Bridewoll lot ou tha rivor. But st po time was thoro over an intima- tion or » thought that tho lob thus ob- tainod by the clty was to bo used for any other purpose than for the Public Library., The Bridowell lot was tho property of tho school- fund,~has boon tho proporty of_that fund for porbaps forty yoars,~but we do not bellevo it over ylcldod a dotlar of revenue to the echools. Congress authorized tho oxchange of lots, which exchange Lias been mado; tho Bridowell 1ot hias boon couveyed to tho United Statos, aud the Custom-Tlousc lot to the City of Chicago. Horo, then, tho caso stauds, Tha Uity of Chicago nsked for the old Custom-House lot for tho Pablio Library. No man in Chicago would lnve asked for tho lob for any other purposo. It was roprosontod to tho Prosident aud to tho Bocrotary of tho Tronsury that tho Custom- Iouso was wanted for tho TPublic Library. ‘Thoso officors, so understanding it, commended it to the favorable consideration of Congross. Congress granted the suthority tomake tho exchango upon that sssumption. Now tho lob bolongs to tho school-fund, end 1s roproxonted by the Board of Educntion of Olucago, which claims proprietary control ovor it. Thoro may bo thoso who supposo that the Board of Education are only waiting the propor time to mako arrangements for the transfor of the lot to theTity, for tho purposes of tho Pub- lio Library, Thoro may bo somo legal teolinl- calitles in tho way of such a trausfer, but, of course, it can bo dono, - Unfortunately, howover, tho Bourd of Education has not dono any- thing of tho kind. It s folloitating ituelt upon having made a good real estate frade. It pro- poscs, it thovity insiats on It, to leasotho Custom- House eite to the Library, provided tho Library pays nuch ront thorotor an tho Board of Educa- tion may think reasonable. The Board seom to rogard tho logal possussion of tho titlo to that lob a8 & warrant to employ it a8 a moro sourco of rovenue to thoirbranch of the City Government Probably tho old Oustom-Tfouso would prndllul; more rovenuo as & first-olass restaurant, or nsa billiard-hall, than as a lbrary, but wo quostion whathor the uso of that sito for any othor pur~ poso than the Publio Library will bo tolerated by ‘tho peaple, Tho Bonrd of Education have in- formally exprossed n willingnoss to loaso tho lot onarontulto tho Library. Wo trust that tho Library Diractors, or whooyor mny have to do- cido upon this quostion, will nevor consent to poy auy rental of any kind or amount for a lot whicti has boon obtained for that Library, and for no other purposo, It I immatorial whether tho Litlo to the lot bo in tho olty, for the use of tho sohooly or for tho uso of the Library. DBut to tax the Library with anaunual rontal to pay to tho school-fund is ono of thoso stupid complications rosulting from tho division of tho Govornmont into ** Bonrds.” The Board of Education makoes an annual os- timato of how much monoy it noods for tho &chools for tho curront year ovor and above it ronts, and tho clty lovice o tax to produce tho sum roquired. Tho publio pay the costof the sehools, and not the Bonrd of Education. If tho sum nooded annually bo 800,000, and tho incomo from routs bo 75,000, a tax s lald to produce $726,000. Now, if tho Library bo pom- polled to poy $10,000 ront, and tho tax for sohools be roduced to $715,000, how ia the clty roliovod wlien tho $10,000 to pay tho ront las to bo raised by toxationP Thore would bo about ss much sense and pro- prioty in tho city charglng itsolt rent for tho Mayor'a offico, Comptrollor's offico, rooms for the Board of Public Works, and then raising tho money by taxation to pay tho rent to itsclf. 1f tho oity has to ralso by taxation all the money noeded for the public schools in any ovent, what possiblo ond is gainod by collecting rent of tho Library to pay to tho schools, and then taxing the publio to ralso the money to pay tho rent for tho Library ? Tho school proporty of overy na- turo and kind bolongs to tho public. To sct spart a portion of that proporty for the Publio Library is to do no moro than what ovory housos keopor does in the arrangomont of his own house. Tho city has rosolved, in addition to Lecping the publio echools, to have a Public Library for tho Improvemont, instruction, and education-of » muck: largor and no less descrving portion of tho population who do not go to tho schoolu. Tho city finds itsolf in the possossion of a sito and tho'menns Aufflelent to comploto a Public Library building ; thia site snd this moans belong tochnically to the schools, Why should not the city uso this site and this means for the Public Library ? Its rolations to the achools will con- tinne just tho samo. Whother this sito and building bo given to the Library or not, the publio will bave to support the achools by taxa- tion. Why keop up tho shallow fletion that, it the Library pays reut to the schools, the taxn- tion of tho publio will thereby be less? Why should the city go through tho sonseloss opora. tion of collecting ronts with one hand, and drawing warrants on its own treasury to pay the samo ront ? . Tholaw of tho Stato limits tho amount that maybo ralsed by taxation annually for Library purposes, Tho city can Jovy whatover amount of taxou it noods for tho support of tho schools, but to take the limitod revenuo of the Librory to pay ront to the City of Chicago for tho usoof a build- ing ownad by tho clty is to defont tho purposes for which that revenuo was intonded. Undor thoso circumstancos, and coveidering tho fact that tho lot was obtained for tho Library, snd would never Liuve beon oblninad for sny othor purpose, . the Board of Education should promptly surrendor the same, or for a nominsl cousideration of ono dollar per.annum ront tho samo to tho Library fund; and tho city should take such othor non-productive property bolong- ing to tho public a8 may bo needed, and with it farnish tho means for erceting s proper Library building. Fortho Board of Education to act tho part of o land-grabber, and undortako to hold tho 0ld Custom-Houso 88 3 8ourca of rov- enuo, or to deny its froo uso to tho Library, would bo an outrago upon tho public, aud an actof bnd faith to tho Fedoral Government, which was moved to consont to tho ¢xchango of lots moro by reason of tho gonoral advantages to bo derived from the Free Library then frow auy pecuniary cousidorations of itsown, THE BAFETY OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS, Chicago hos hod a bitter and most expousivo oxporienco in tho mattor of loging public records, For many yours baloro tho fire, tho insecurity of tho records was notorions, und sopeatedly was it urged that s hall for thoir custody should be provided. Nothing was ovor done, sud, when the Court-Houso wont down, thora went with it ovory vault aud other placo provided for tho enfo keeping aud protection not only of the rec- ords of conveyances, but of all tho courts and of the tax-collectors. The lous, public and private, has boon too recent and too sovers not to bo fully undorstood by evory person. Tho Legisla- turo has sought to remody tho loss by gving partial vaidity to various oxpadiouts, but tho iuconvenionce and logs will be folt in Clicago for Linlf n contury. Tho records of transuctions sinco the firo kiavo boon more than ondinarily numorous. Tho Recordor hay boou callod upon toput on secord tho partial fragmentary ovi- douces of titles oxisting before tho fire, and cortainly tho Tocords as thoy now stand aro, it possible, doubly unportant. Thoy inolude not ouly tho first aud original evidencea of title in many casos, but also the outlre ovidence of whatever chntacter that was rosoued from de- struction of tho larger part of the businesa property of the city. These rocords are kopt in the tomporary nnd hustily-constructed building on the cornor of Adams and ZnBstlo streots, That building is not of a char- aoter to rosist a tire, once under hendway, Its wholo intorior is woodou. Thero aro vaults supposed to be of sutllciont strongth to resist ordinary firos, but tho risk Is great, With ro- &pocy to thoir safoty thore ought to be no uncor- tainty, and no risk whatover. The books of the Recordor's oflice, and the vast amount of original papors always in that ofils, ought to b placed whoro their gafety will bo boyond all doubt. This mattor has alroudy boon brought to the atten- tion of the publio uuthorities by the Recordor, end o commitioe has been appointed by the County Commissionors to prooure it possible ome other quartors for theso records than tho prosont Caty-Ilall, It is uafo to nssumo that the now Court-House will not be roady for ocoupancy for soveral yoars to como.

A rocont number of tho Deutsche Nachrichten containg & vory intorosting snalytical ostimato of the number of Gormans hiving in tho United Btatos, tho more important faota of which we roproduco. According to the consus lists, thoro lived in the United Btates in tho summer of 1870 u total of 1,690,410 porsons born in tho prosont German Empire, To this ' to bo 2ddod the numbor of omigrants from Austria, Bohomin, Frauce, Huugary, Luxombourgh, aud Bwitzerland for 1869-'70, amountwng to 196,000, In this total, tho emigrants from Russta and Russian Poland sre omitted, as offsot~ tivg tho Prussinn Poles, who &ro not of Gorman oxtraotion, This gives & grand total of 1,886,000 porsons of Gorman desoeut born In Europé and living In this country, in 1870, To this numbor aro to bo added the do-’ scondants of German emigrania born in the Statos. Tho conaus of the frst genoration of all nationalitios amounts to 4,746,201, Divided prorats, thls would givo 1,608,000 descondants of Gormans. Tho latter gonerstions which ro- main to bo addod have to be obtained mainly by ostimate. Tho strosm of Gorman emigration from1680 to 1820 was steady, but very small; but, during tho past fitty years, it Has rapidly in- oreased, as will bo soen by the following tavlo: From 1831 to 183 7,229 From 1841 fo 181 163,464 From 1841 to 1850, +o 434,620 Erom 1851 to 1800, 51,607 From 1861 to 18I0, 4,00 In cstimating the Iator gonorations, that iy, tho grandsons and great-grandsons, of courso tho computation ean only bo mado on the emi- gration betwoen 1821 and 1850, amounting to 600,000. Naturally, only & limited number of theso would bavo groudeons ond grest-graud- sons, and these tho Nachrichten estimatcs at 1.600,000. Tho total summary, thoroforo, sliowa: Gorman immigrants, 1,886,000; firet genoration, 1,008,000 ; and: other gonerations, 1,600,000, or.s total of 4,004,000 In rouud numbors, wo may say, that thoro aro 5,000,000 of Gormana and their immediato descondants living fn tho United Btates. Thero is overy reason to supposo that the in- creaso of Gorman omigration for tho noxt ten years will be largor than that of tho last docade. It was supposod iu Germany that tho consolida- tlon of the Gorman Empire, the new outgrowth of patriotiem, and tho brilliant victories of the Prussian arms fn tho Franco-Clorman war, would croate guch a ronewed love for the Fathorlaud that omigration would bo chockod. Tho con- trary, however, has boon the result, Duringthe war, emigration waa of courso supprossed with an dron hand, but sinco that time tho proseriptive polioy of Bismarck, tho oppres- slon of the Ultramontanes, the vigorous military dospotism of the Empire, sud tho glowing pros- pocts of wealth offored in this country, have grontly stimulsted omigration to our shoros, notwithatanding the vigilant and constant efforts of tho Prussian authorities to provent it. Tho statistics show thia incrosso vory clearly. Tho number of immigrants in 1866 was 115,803; In 1807, 189,426 ; in 1808, 128,070; in 1869, 124,788; in 1870, 91,770: In 1871, 107,201; in 1872, 165, 595, and to these numbora is to bo added 15,000 immigrants from ocountrics not belonging to the German Empiro ; in all a total of 866,761 sinco1806. At thorato of omigration for tho flret threo years of tho prosent dacads, tho emigra~ tion for tho entire ton yonra will amount to over a million souls, and computing from the increaso which scoma to be inevitable, year by yoar, it ia wore than probablo that tho total will roach a willion and s balf. Thoso facts and figures be- como of more than ordinary intorost whon it Is considorad that the numberof peoplo in this coun- try of Gorman doscont, fareign and native born, amounts to noarly one-soventh of the entire population, and _thet almost onc-half of it in coutorod in tho Wostorn BStates. Locallzing theso statistica to a still narrower range, Ilinois has about ono-third of sll tho Gormans in the ‘West, and one-oighth of the ontire Gorman pop- ulation of tho country. Bhould tho increase in thin Stato during the noxt ton years keep pace with tho last ton, tho consumption of beer and the conjugation of **habon" will becomo mattors of primo importance to the native born, THE PORTAGE LAKE CANAL, Thie Portago Leke Canal, conuecting Portage Lalo with Lake Superior, aftes five yoars of Ia- bor, kg, at longth, boon virtually comploted— ou aunocuncement which will bo received with pleasure by marinors and shippers, Hancock aud Houghton oro tho groat shipping points on Lake Buperior, espocially of the copper product, of which theso two towus sbip more than two- thirds of tho ontiro product por snnum, By tho old routo, & steamer out route for Duluth, for in- stauco, waa obliged to make tho trip noross tho mouth of Kowoonaw Dayandup the Portago Lake to Houghton, a distance of 50 or G0 miles, and, after loading or unloading, return the samo diatanco, and then tako tho uaual courso around Keweonnw Polnt, s distance of sbout 112 miles, to the mouth of tho caual, making in all about 160 or 170 miles which are now saved by this canal.

It appeata that tho proposition that tho Unit- od States Govornmont shall guaranteo tho pay- mont of the debts of the Bouthorn States, which wasa dlsimiesod before tho adjournment of the 1ast Congross, is likoly to bo rovived and brought beforo tho noxt Congress. We cannot yot toll what charactor tho mnext Congroess will assume. It goneral conduot will bo largoly dotormined by tho action tsken in regard to tho ropeal of the Bnlary bill. If tho new Congross shall have tho offrontory to rosist tho popular demandfor the ropeal of this odious measure, it will thon be in n condi~ tion to liston to tho most bare-faced and infa- mous schomes that may bo brought boforo it. It will have arvaigned its forces againat thoforco of publio opinion, and, having dono so, it will bo inno wise influenced or controlled by popular protosts. A rofussl to ropeal tho selory-grab- bing law will be a notico to all log-rollers and lobbylsts tlst tho majority in Congresa have no regaxd _for tho sentiments of their constitu- oncics, and aro ready to enter upon any legisla- tion that promises to pay. If it comes to this, it would not ba at all surprising it tho schomo for tho guaranteo of Bouttern Statc bonds should bo succossful, Thero is no doubt that, onco started, the proposition would: receive tho support of ouo of the most powerful lobbies over organized for tho spoliation of the United States Treasury. Thero iy money onough involved to warrant a froo oxpenditare of funds, and tho advautnges of a United Statos guarantoe would acéiue to a cortain class of capitalists who are known to havo great influouca with the presout Adminstration, Tho natural allios of this lobby would include nearly ovory momber of Congress from tho Southorn States, and certainly all thoso who represont carpot-bag intorests. ‘Though tho proposition I 8o palpsbly outrageoud) thero is, for tho duotion s copper, which will get to market in roasous wo have nlsted, great danger that ¢ will, bo seriously ontortained.

Tho Inst Congress practically added 40,000,000 ta the public dabt whou it mado & geueral in- creaso of ealarics amounting to §2,000,000 o yoar, which is 6 por cent on forty millions, If tho next Cougress shall decido to follow in the footstops of its predecossor, it will probably go furthor, and & $200,000,040 job would not look largor toit than a 840,000,000 job did to tho last Congross, always conceding that it pays. The noxt roason why tho scheme hould be dofeated is becauso it would not only add $200,000,000 to the debt, but that it would bo » robbery of just that mmount. No one supposcs thLat the Southorn Btates would over pay their dobis or anypart of thom after tho United Btatos asgensod them. Othorwise thore would 1o no suck stronuous offort o socro the guar- ante. Tho paymont of theso dobts by tho Unitod Btatos would be & robbary, because (1) a Jargo proportion of thosobonds aro Iraudulent, aud novor ought to bo paid by anybody, and (2) thoso which are of bona fide issuo ought to bo paid by the Statas that issuod thom, and not by tho pooplo of tho wholo country, who never dorived any advantage from thelr issue, and novor asswood auy responsibility for thelr payment. Tho flnal roault of tho guar- antee would be & payment of theso Bouthern dobts (s largo proportion of the procosds of which was stolon outright) by the peaplo of tho North, for the renson that the Sonthorn Btatos are paying nothing liko thoir proportionato share of tho gonoral taxation. From this point of view the job witl be recognized as one of tho most outragoous ever contemplated, Tho fnfluonce that will bo brought to boar up- on Qongrees from the North will coma from what muy Lo called syndieats of capitalists who nogotiated the bulk of the Southern bonds, and who, at the eamo timo, have figured promi- nontly in nootly all tho fuancial oporations of the Geuoral Government, Thoso capitaliats now hold tho bonds of tho Bouthern Blatos, which are in fow casos worth moro than 50 conts, and & majority of which range bolow this figure down to a fow conts on the dollar, Bomo of the, in fact, aro abuolutoly worthless, siuco it 18 protty cortaln that thoy wore fraudulontly {ssucd snd will mot bo paid at sil, The United Slaton gunrantoo would raise thom from theso low and doubtful vatuos to the prico of Unitod Btates bonds, or o promium on thoir par valuo, As many of tho bonda do not ropresent acost to thoir prosent holders of moro than thelr quoted valuo, the amount of money which would bo mado oni guarantoa I enormous.

A Uuitod Staton guaranteo of outstanding Indobtodnen would rostore tho orodit of tho Southern Hiaws which are now bankrupt; now bonds could bo jssued and sold ; sna & socond opoch of pillage aud robbery could be successfully Inaugurated.
