In San Froncisco the Anti-Monopolista havo o majority of 1,275, Gov. Booth’s strength in the now Legislaturo on joint ballot will probably bo 45 or 50 votes. Thore nro wtill to be olected 859 deloghtes to tho Massachusotts Republican Oonvention -at ‘Worcester day nftor to-morrow. Butler is only goventy-fivo bohind Washbuarn, with the 742 +who have slready been chosen, and ho muy have some sdheronts i tho twenty-nine contested seats, Although exporienced observers of tho situation prediot Butlor's dofeat, it is not to bo regarded ns certain. Aiddlesex and Essex Coune tios bavo still to olect thoir 126 delegatos, aud Butler is strong in that region. Postmaster Filloy, of 8t. Louis, if the very grave charges made against him are truo, has emied tho business of assessing the salarics of Government cniployes toa point that could hnrd- 1y have boen expected in o roformed civil servica. Desiting, like one, at least, of his superiors, to make a good thing out of lua situation, ho as- sossed all tho omployoes of the Bt, Louis Post- Ofico 5 per cont on their salarios, dating tho assosement back five months, even against thoso who had boen but just appointed, and put the proceeds into his individual bankrupt treasury. — The Peoplo's party was very busy in this State ou Saturday, Meatinga were held by the farmens of DeKalb, Marshall, Grundy, and Rock Islsnd Counties, spd indopendent nominations made for ocounty officers; and similar nction was taken in Towa by the meeting of tho farmers of Museating County. AtEdwardaville, i, a vory lnrge mooting of farmers was held of o non-political character, but the inscriptions ou tho banners and the tenor of the speoches showed that the farmers of Madison were not less earnest than their neiglibors in the farmers’ ponceful revolution. e Aftor several dsye' scesion tho Texas Dom- cocratio Convention have made their nominations and publishod thelr platform 3 Richard Coke is pomed for Governor, and R.B. Hubbard for Licutenant-Governor. The chiof signifieanco of the resolutions Lies in their roforonco to the railrosd subsidy question. Liberal chartors and grants of land to railronds are rocommended, with proper rogulations, but the granting of money subsidies is discountenanced. The so- tion of the Democratic salary-grabbera in Con- groes is ¢ doprecated.” e Throo poworful vessols have recently been added to the English nevy, ond twenty-five moro are in process of construction, which will add oighty-two guna to the present armament. ‘The guns, which are now beiug congtrueted, sur- pass the most powerful artillery now in exist~ once, oven eclipsing the Woolwich and Krupp guna, They are to bo constructed by placing coil upon coil of wrought iron, with a steel tube, which insures the greatest possible strength and immunity from bursting and also allowa tho gun to be made of any size. The prosent large guns made at Waol- wiolh throw & 700-pound shot eix or soven miles, but the new monstera will earry a projoo- tilo weighing 1,100 pounds, or half o ton, o dis- tanco which bas yet to bo dotermined. They will have a bore of 16 inches and woigh 60 tons. Compared with thoso, the honviost guns which woro used during our own war wore playthings. Senor Castelar, who was recontly electod Presi- dont of the tipanish Cortos, haa domanded, as conditions upon whichhe will take thooffice of Chiof Minlstor of tho Ropublio, vacated by the resignation of Bonor Salmaron, & day or two ago, thet he shall bo allowed to increase tho army, purchaso 500,000 rifles, organize the militis, imposo & forced loan, suspend the Constitu- tional guarantees, and be furnishod with mntorlal and appliancos snfliclont to over- come both the Oarlists and the Intran- sigonto insurgents. Tho Cortes las grantod Dhim theso conditions, and, therefore, Cas- talar takos upon himsclf tho responeibility of crushing out the opposition to the Ropublio, Everything that he Liau asked for,—monoy, men, matorial, aud the susponsion of coustitutional unrantoes, has been glven him. Ina word, he ‘18 woll-nigh absoluto in power, and must now ghow of what sort of atuff ho {s made, A short tima will suffice to dotormino whether ho s a ‘man of theorios or aman of actlon nnd exeou~ Alvo abulity, Whotovor elso has been 8ald, ho Ling, ot lonst, shown the dispositiontotry. If e shonld fall, ohnos will roturn, and there' will bo an ond of Bpanish Ropublicanism, Tho Ohicago produad markots were rather loss nctive on Saturdny, and gonerally firm, thongh Inrgo receipty and high freights wpre againnt it.

The burning of tho Fulton elovator is another chapter in tho history of tho Mann & Beott tronsaotions of some years ago. It will be ro- membered that when that firm falled they ownod an interest in four of the clovators known a8 the Northwestorn Combination, Du- ring the investigations in baunkruptey it ap- poared thnt Mossrs, Munn & Scott disposed of their intorests to cortain other persous, the con- sidoration belng undorstood that the purohaaors wero to tako up and satisfy all thelr outstanding grain rocoipts. This was & year ago; but that ualo, whatever may have beon the torms of it, was set aside by the Bankruptey Court, and the proporty was eold sagain, last Fri- day, under the morigage to Isaac Hoyt & Co, New York. Tho property sold was a8 follows and brought the prices annoxed : Three-fourths of the Northwestern, $95,000; tho whole of the Fulton elevator, $76,000 ; fivo- sixtoonths of the Unlon elevator, 864,600 ; and iivo-sixteonths of tho City clovator, $81,000, or o total of §916,000. It was purchesed by Josso Hoyt & Co., the mortgagees. This was on Fri~ day Iast, Moeers, Armour & Co. have beon con- ducting the business in that elevator under tho first eale up to tho timo it was set aside by the order in bankruptoy. How far tho prico pald forit is equaled by the insurance will in timo boshown, The indebtedness of Mossrs. Munn & Beott to Hoyt & Co, was largely in oxcoss of the proceods of this sale, though whether it was all covorod by tho ono mortgago we do not know. Philadolphia lins got a now ecandsl, which is staggering the docont eloment of tho community, nccustomed o8 it Lina becomo -to scandals of overy doscription. It poems that the Grand Jury of tho August torm of tho Criminal Court detormined to Investigato the alloged malfeasanco of tho District Attorey, William B, Mann, who Las 80 long been tho hend of tho corrupt Ropub- lican .City Ring, and hns bocame ay notorious throughount the country as the New York munici- palleader, Tweed. Tho Jury therefore summoned tho District Attorney beforo thom and queationed him concorning his connection with the charges against him, which weroe matters of public no- toriety, snd which they had o right to investi- gate. The District Attorney not only rofused to suswer any quostion, but insulted and browbeat tho Jury, and roforred tho case to the Court, Judgoe Ludlow, who sustained him and declared that ho was right. Tho charges against tho Dis- trict Attornoy are the larcony of cortain bonds from the trossury and tho compounding of folonics, and tho decision of the Court is, therefors, to tho eoffect that {he Grand Jury has no right to intormeddle with the District Attornoy when ho chooses to compound & folony. DBoth tho District Attornoy and the Judge sro condidates for offico on the same ticket. As the Constitutional Convention of tho State bas adjonrned over until after the election, without amending the Rogistry law, it is probable that both theso mon will bo re- elected, but thore must come a timo before long when the decent peoplo of Philadciphia will find some remedy for their opprossions and the nbuses ot power practiced by thoir corrupt City Ring. ‘WHO SHALL HANDLE THE MONEY ¢ The citizons of Chicago, outside the various political combinations and rings, have boen con- eldorably puzzled to understand why tho local eampaign for the eloction of municipal offlcers has beou bogun so much carlier this yoar than usual, A number of roasons have boen assigned without affording any satisfactory explanation. The Germans have been * agitating,” and the politiciana bavo beon agitated about, tho Sunday- 18w question, and this {esue is offered as a rea~ gon why the ball is rolling and the pot 18 boiling long bofore ball-rolling aud pot-boiling are mnoceseary. Tho faot is that soms months ago, whon thoe strict onforcomout of tho Bunday law was commonced, the German population gob up & good deal of excitement over the situation, under the influence of local politiclans, At the present time, Lowover, tho politicians aro Laving the oxcitoment protty much to themselves, and the Gorman people, who have found that their enjoyment of Bunday after their own custom is not materially affoctod, wiule tho general intor- ests of good order nro considerably adysnced by the present treatment of tho cago, havo cossed to tako any very active concorn in tho matter, Wo havo also been told that the Republicans, approhensive of the defection of tho Germans, found it nocossary to organize their forces earlier in the day, and rally the parly together for o convention and a fight, But horo wo find the fact to bo that the Ropublicans, as . individ- uals, do not caro anything about & convention, aund refuso to share with tho parly managers eithor thelr approbonsions or their enthusinem, The so-called Committoe of Bovonty likewise ontered tho flald at an early hour, with tho pur- pose of Loading off the combination againut the intorests thoy ropresent; bLut, unmindful of tho ovidences that the combination would defent it- solf, tholr chiof accomplishmout has been to domoustrate thelr owa inabllity, and. to open thelr doors algo to the - politicians, who have not. failod to olbow their way among thom, Thus all the profferod explanations notahly fail to ex- plain why tho anxioty to selzo umpon’ tho lo- oal offices hioa botrayed Itself 8o soon, Why ls it, thou? , Wo bellove that tho more mention of tho circumstance that a new Court- Houso is to Ve built durlng the next olty and ocounty edministration .will ; euggost & more rvonsonablo explanation than any that has yot local politiolans, on all sides, would like to put their fingors. A now Uourt-Houso is not bullt overy yoar or two. The prosent gonoration of politiciang will not bo likely to meot with anothor such opportunity for pickings and stonlings, A now City Tiail ju New York sustainod an exton- slve clon of political chieftaina for sovoral yoars. It ocunbled thom to live on milk and honoy, nnd to Isy up o sur- plus for a rainy day, It would lio one of thoso lost opportumties which human nature nover consos to rogrot, if the now Chicago Court- Houso wore to bo built without the peculinr mnoagomont and manipulations whioh usually attond groat publio enterpriscs of this kind. It {8 not improbablo that botwoen $6,000,000 and £6,000,000 will be exponded during the next two yoars, if tho work of building up the Court- Houso Squaro shall prooeed. Tho smount of monoy that it will cost will depend largoly on the snccots or failuro of tho groedy politicians who aro looking from all directions at the Llock bounded by Washington and Rondolph, Olark and LoSallo stroots. For .Chicago and Cook County politiciang at the presont timo all ronds Joad to tho mow Court- Houso. Honco the promature and pro- cipitate scramble for the local oftices. Henco, the effort at esrly organization to assuro tho possession of tho City and County Government during tho era of rebuilding. Henco, also, the variety and contrarioty of *‘intorests " that have boen developed. TFortunately the various gentlomen who aro 8o ,ambitious to takea band in b\)fld&ng the now Omu't-!]on.a's aro likely to defoat themsolves, and for two rossons ¢ (1) Because they have not boen able to ropross thoir anxiety lost the pros- poctive spoils shall be snatchod from thom ; and (2) because tho golden opportunity is o glittor- ing that thoy ononob agres smong thome golves, Tho. grab i8 so enormous that tho ombitious grabbers have commonced too soon, and, while it is not possible for all of thom to got thoir bands in, not ono is willing to givo way for tho beonofit of the others. Tho peoplo of Chicago have by common consent de- termined to Jot tho quadrilatoral fight go on, with a sorono oconsciousnoss that the bummers onall gides will succood in anoihilating -each other before the clection, Wo do not beliove that auy situation could bo more favorable for tho choico of & good city and- county govern- ‘ment, i the peoplo stand quiotly off and permit the Court-Houso cormorants torange themsolves after their own fasnion. If it snall be- come necossary, the building of tho new ' Court-ouse can be very com- fortably postpomed for & yesr or 4wo. As the monoy raquired must bo raised by taxation (it cannot be borrowed under tho pros- ont law), tax-payors generally, and pactioularly those whose resonrces have bacn largely drained in tho worlk of replacing thoir private proporty destroyod by the fire, will not objeot to a tompo- rary reliof from tho burden which a now and costly Court-House will impoge upon them. A postponement of this work will unquostionably -meot with unanimons approval it tho outcomo of the local olection shall indicato that the job must fall into the haunds of tho political bandits. At all ovonts, tho best courso for all good oiti- zops to pursuo is to permit the bummers to bum to their hoart's contont for the time being. THE THREATENED LOJS OF WATER, 1t was with regret thut yesterday we published tho grievous intelligence that the city is about to sustain a tomporary loss of its accustomed supply of wator, The circumstauces may ba’ briofly stated: In sinking the shaft at the crib end for the new tunnel, su unoxpocted, and for s long time unexplained, difiiculty was expori- enced. When tho iron shaft had beon sunk, aud tho clay oxcavated, the ciroular pleco was cut out to begin the excavation for tuo tunuel, Though it was at & point some thirty feet balow the bottom of tho lake, novertheloss, water began fo porcolate through the clsy, ond through the opening iuto the shaft. This fact was fuwly detailed in thia papor sovoral weoks ago. Since that timo overy possible means havo been tried to romedy this, but in vain, and elowly and vory unwilling- 1y tho suthoritios bavo boen forcad to the con- cluslon that tho old tunnel, which is but 20 feot north of the now enait, loaks, and that it is the water from this loak which forces itself through the intorvening clay and onters the new shaft. Tho authorities seom to have becomo gatisfled that thoir firet impresslon, that the wator of the lake was prossed downward through the olay bed to tho foot of tho shaft, was a mistake, and that, instead of coming from above, tho water ronlly comes on a level from the old tunnel, which, if truo, shows that tho lattor must losk vory badly. Thero is a hopo that this wmay not prove to be tho cage, and that gomo other oxplanation may yot bo furnished. In tho moantimo thero must bo an oxamination, and the propriety of having second tunnol is vindicated by tho fact that to examine first necessitates itaclosing, Tho gatos at the orib must bo closed, sud the tunuol pumpod dry, in order that an oxamination can bo bad, aud any dsmage that may exist bo ro- paired. Iu the moantimo, what ia the clty to do for wator? Tho only monns that can bo adopted 16 to go back to the old mothod which provailed betoro the tunnol was made,” The old basin whioh then existed, and through which water wag filtored into tho wolls, has fllled up dur- ing the sevon yoars it has beon ‘out of use. This will havo to be dredged out again, which operation will take sovoral wooks of active labor. When it ls propared aud tho connection made with tho walle, then tho tunnol will bo closod, and oxamined. How long this will last will dopend on the oxtent of tho dnmago that may be found to have takoh placo. It aloakis found fo oxist, then itmay take soveral woeks to ropalr it. In tho meantime the oity must roceive the wator from the surface of tho lake, in the old way, If this could be dono bofore the closo of navigation on the canal, the misfortuno wonld be greatly mitigated, becauso then thore would be none of the washings of the river to escapo Into the Iake, The groat evil of tho old system was that the dischargos of tho river into tho lake were carried by tho south winds In tho direction of the pumps, If this damnge can be ropalred bofore the canal is closod, the city will oscape all danger of & return to that abomination, Tho publio suthoritios hordly nood any urging to give their ‘bost energios to the romedy of this calamity at the oarliest poseiblo moment, Pure water is ag osgontial to life and bealth in Chicago as Is tho air. No more mattor of expenso shonld causo auy dolay in doiug whatever s called for by tho groab omorgency. % It sbould be romembored, however, that olos- ing tho tunnol and Arawing tho water through tho basin will not affect in any way the quantity of the aupply.” Chat will be limited, as now, only- oan boobtalned {n thaono way as by thoothor ;but tho quality of tho watoron which tho bonith of thincity is In an' especial manner dopéndont, may bo affooted, but né‘t gorjously,unless tho calamiiy, proves to boso oxtensive that it cannat bore- pnirod bofore the cannl’ conscs to omry oft tho surplus wator of the rivor, 4 Work at the crib ond of the now tunuel must of nocossity bo susponded untll such ‘time a6 an oxamination will determino whother. the present sueplelon of a loak iu the oxiating tannol f4. woll foundod. Upon tho ronult of that oxamindtion will alao dopond whother tho shatt already sunk will not bo abandoned and another placed inan- othor quarter, —————— THE POLICE QUARRELS, ) Tox Tnione yostorday reproducod the main facts of olght murdera committed in Ohleago during tho laat soven months, and the othor startling fact, that in but ono of the cases had tho guilty party beon arreated.

During the period covered by theso cases the polico forco of this clty hoa boon to o great ox- tent domoralized, becauss of the controveraies betwoon tho hoads of tho departmenta.

Thiy unseomly and disgraceful quarrel breaks out on ovory occasion. Evory man arraigned for offieinl misconduct by the Buperintendent finds o champion in tho Commissionor, who threstons rotalistory proceedinge, and hence the public gervico, tho publio peace, ordor, and gatety aro aliko neglected.

The public havo borno this thing long onough, Tho rocord of the polica sorvico is becoming dis- gracoful, and if the public officors have no sonse of what they owo to the gonoral interost, thoy should be taught that individuals in offico svoof the slightost possible concorn, and {hat when they become obstacles to tho administra- tion of justico thero will sooner or Iator bo found a way to got rid of them. THE PRUSBIAN AND AMERICAN BYSTEMS, Bomo weeks ago Tne TnimuNE printed an in- telligont letter from Gormany, written by an American sojourning in Europe, and descriptive of the iron-clad Government which Prussaia, un- dor tho ‘leadorship of Bismarok, has imposed over tho North Gorman Empire. The lotter and the remarks accompanying it seom to have aceasionod considerablo controveray. 'The viows sot forth received indorsoment where it might have beon lenst expectod. The Staals-gZeitung, of this city, and other Gorman nowspapers throughout tho country, pronounced them sub- stantially correct. Among the varlous com- ments and criticlims which havo called out, a communication was printed in Toe TomuNe of yesterday which undertook to contrast the political purie ty of tho Gormsn Empire under its prosent systom of Governmont with the political corrupe tion that prevails in this country. Tho contraat is undoubtedly in favor of Germsny at the prosont moment, 80 {ar as honest administration and protection of tho people are concerned. But it would be falso and dsngoerous to pormit tho prosent political situation in the two coun- trica to pasw a8 nn ovidence that tho Prussian system i tho botter form of Government for an advanced condition of civilization, It is not necossary to goover the details of the Prussian systom, These wore very fully sot forth in the previous articles. It Is only nacessary to recall the conclusion that it {s tho most absolute form of Psternal Government, in which the porsonsl condition or intorests of tho individual count for nothing oxcopt when sub- Joct to the Empire, conforming to all the arbi- trary rogulations of the Btate, whose power ia suprome, and whoso genoral intorests are of the first and most oxclusive importance. If the polit- fonl conditioh of n poople under such n systom is botter than that of a pooplo who gaworn them- solves, it is becauso tho men in power aro purer, and not becasuse tho system guarantees such superiorlty or such ‘purity, Xt the politioal condition of the United Btates is corrupt; if we have an incompetont and dishonest olvil sorvice § it the interests of tho poople are not cared for , m8 woll ‘a5 they ought ' to bo, it ia thie fault of the poople themselvos, and thoy happily possoss the power to improve the sltua« tion whenever they ehall bocome fully alive to tho sense of tho opprossion which thelr publio sorvants put upon tlvlom. Bhould the rulers of Germauy becomo corrupt, and thore is no guar- snteo i their system or any other syatem of dos- potism against it, tho peoplo will bo helpless, An appoal to arms slono remains to them, fad, in this, the advantagos are all on the sldo of tho dynoaty which controls an immenso standing army, which is liko one groat deadly machiue in tho hends of its officors.

NOTES AND OPINION. - There wero forty-five counties (out of 102) in Tllinois giving Domocratic majoritics last year. A careful record showa thatin just twelve of thoso counties the Democrata have nominated; in sixteen thoy have, with duo formality, dis- banded their organization; in ecight countien conventions have boon cflled, tho result of which is oxpectod to bo, inmost cagos, to dis- band ; and, in tha romalning nine codnties, tho situation may be described as ono of “sublimo unfixednoss,” Thero is also ono Domocratio ticket in o Ropublican county.
