Mr, W. H. King was re-elected Prosidont, and Mr, J, L. Pickard was oleoted S8uporintendent of Publio [nstruction, —a The Episcopal Diocese of Illinois is now hiold- Ing its Thirty-sixth Annual Convention in this city, The sermon was presched yestorday morn- lng by tho Rev. Sidnoy Corbott, of Quinoy. In tho evening, Bishop Whitchouss made his an- ounl sddress, roviewing the yoar's work. Colloctor Harper's dofalcations aro shown, by iho investigation which has just closed, to ox- tend cortainly as far back as 1870, and porhaps tarther. His chief clork, Bmith, is found to Lavo mado falso entries in the accounts to shield bis superior, and has been arrested as an ac- ocessory. The amountof the embozzlemont is $110,000, as first tatod. A meoting of colorod men was held in Now York last ovening to discuss the political policy of their race, They wero addroased by colored men from Louisians, who have seon something of tho ills of treating a race ns & political divis- ion ; but nether tho spoakers nor the audienco in thoir resolutions conld riso to higher than partisan ground in favor of tho Ropublican party, e Postmnstor Filley hna confided to a newspaper roportor his boliof that there aro *‘somo lica” in the story of his asscesmont robberies. In tho noxt breath ho was hasty enough to aver that he could not afford to ontertain Prosident Grant unless ho waa reimbursed, snd he'd bo * damned” if be would, It is fair to infer from this that ho levied tho assessment mainly to save himsel? from pordition. it T The programme of the opening of the Ex- position on the 25th inst. bhas been pre- pared by the Board of Directors, Tho Chair~ man of the Executive Committee will formally deliver tho building to the Dircctors, who will secopt it through Mr. Coolbaugh, Ad- ilrosses will follow from Acting-Mayor Bond, Gov. Doveridgo, and Senators Logan and Oglesby. Speculation concerning tho action of the Massachusctts Republican Convention, which moets to-dny to choose somebody olse than But- ler for Govornor, has turned from the nomina- tion to the resolutions, Judge Hoar will be Chairman of the Committeo on Resolutions, and It is not thought likely that n candidate for the Ohiof-Justiceship will allow anything distastoful 1o tho Administration to pass through his hands. Tho feoling on the subject of the grab is very strong among the delogates. Gen. Butlor's de- feat socms to bo tracoable largely to his leador- thipin tho swindle, and there will be s hard atruggle in the Convention to have the subjeot treatod in plain Saxon in the platform, The Madison Journal takes notice of the pro- posed incrense of froight rates on tho railways of Wiscongin in & tono of unsupprossod indigna~ tion. Iteays that tho time has come for the Legislature to examine into the condition of the railweys, and aecertain whethor their alloged in- ability to enrn dividends ariscs from inadequacy of charges for freight and passenger trefic, or from stock-watering, or comstruction rings, or wasteful management, or & eystem of swindling the stockholders out of what fairly bolongs to them. Railway building was come mencod in Wikconsin twonty-threo years ago. It ~ould soom that if the operation of railays was sver to bo profitablo in that Stato, it ought to be Jo mow. If the stockholdors aro getting nothing, there must be arencon forit. The Journalis quito right in calling for & searching inquiry into that reason. e The Chicago produce markots weremoderately active yostorday, snd the loading cercals were weaker. Mess pork was in botter domand, and firm at $16.90 eollor the month and $16.25@16,80 goller Octobor. Lard was quiet and steady at 7360 per b for wintor, and 78{c for summer ren- derod.

"Tho cattlo and shoop _markots wore falrly actlvo and stondy, at Mouday's quo- tations, — It {a gratifying to loarn that tho Tressury and Iuterior Dopartments aro nt loggorheada with the Post-Ofice Departmont on the subject of the right to sond firat-clasn mailablo mattor by ox- pross.

Whilo the franking priviloge ox- Istod, it was immatorial to any officlal porsonago in Washington how eoverely the prohibition against sonding such matler by othor conveyance was onforced sgainst tho publie, But now that tho Dopartments and DBurosus have to pay pest- | ago, and tho amount of postage-stamps at tholx disposal {8 imited by the appropriations of Con« gress, thoy would like to avail thomsolves of tho oxpross-companios, or tho froight-trains, or tho oanal-boats, to carry their stuff in bulk at re- duced rates. Buthero Mr. Croawell stops in nud asya : * No, gentlemen ! this is my buslnass. I and my prodocessors in offico have so managoed that tho law prohibits anybody carrying thismat- tor but us ; or at loast requires that if thoy do so they shall first pay ua the samo amount that wo should have ohargod if we had porformod tho sorvice. Othors wonld porhapa do it bete tor nnd cheapor (tide Wels, Fargo & Co.); but tho statuto upon this point fs explicit. Ap- poaling to this vonorable principlo, Iam sbout to ask Congross to apply it to the telograph busi- ness as well. At the timo the Government monopoly wasestablishod, thore was no tolograph in existonce. If thero had boon, don't you think our fathers would havo put the goose-quill and the Morso instrument in tho same category ? With whnt force can'I ask such an extonsion of my monopoly if you are allowed to violate it by sending your atuff on tho raging tow-path p*' It is #aid that Judge Richardson and Mr, Dolano lLiave rtired to chow the oud of aweot and bitter fanofes. — THE DOUBLE ASSESSMERT, Tho Stato of Iinois has to raise by taxation, for all purposes, almost §6,600,000 in tho years 1878 and 1874, How this sum is exactly divided Lotweon tho two yoars wo do not know, and it is unimportant, Tho law provides that the Au- ditor, having the assessed value of tho taxablo property of the Btato beforo him, shall ascertain tho rato por cent of tax neoded to produce tho roquired rovenue, and shall declars tho samo ag the rate of tax to bo collectod for tho year, For purposes of revenue, it is immatorial whother the valuntion of taxables bo $500,000,000 or $2,000,000,000; the actual amount of tax to bo raiged will be the same. It can make no difforonce to a man whether Lo be taxed 6 mills on £300 or 15 mills on $100; his tox is tho same in both casos. After an oxperience of thirty yoars undor the first Constitution, of twenty-two years under the sec~ ond Oonstitution, and threo yoars under tho present Conetitution, it was suddenly discovored that the proper mode of lovying a tax was to a8sess property at its full cash valuo. Instruo- tions were thoroforo sent out from Springfiold to nsseas the proporty of the Stato at its cash valuo, and thero is & return in Springfleld, in an- swer to theso instructions, showing a gross val- uation of §1,180,120,084 in 1873, against §508,- 875,848 in 1872, No ono protends that this ia cash valuation of the property in the Stato lia- blo to taxation, It does not reach more than 50 ver cent of the actual value. What dfforonce ia there botween levying n'tax of half of ona cent on £1,000,000,000 of proporty' and 1 per cont. on’ §500,000,000 ? ‘What new light has broken out that demanda this ox- traordinary chango? Ia it regard for tho public intereat? Was thore any suspicion of any sorious inequality under last year's asssesment ? ‘What revelations, thereforo, demanded this sud- don change, which in its complications threat- ous the loss of tho whole rovenue of the Btate, aud has paralyzed, to some oxtent, the Board of Equalization? Lot ua sco, In 1869, the Btate Leglslature passed an act which fixed the valuation of taxable property in 1808 na & standard, and provided that any coun- ty, city, or town that had votod bonds in aid of railroads should, until the principal and interest of thoso bonds woro paid, be oxempt from taxa- tion on any increase in the nasessed valuo of its property ovor tho asscssment of 1868. In other words, that all taxes loviod for Btate purposes ou auy increased valuation over that of 1808, instoad of going into the Btate Troasury, should bo applied to tho paymont of those railroad-nid bonds, Last year, tho wholo of the revenuo thus stolen was short of £100,000, and the coun- ties and towns owing this railrond dobt had to tax thomeelves directly to pay tho interost and o portion of tho principal of the $18,000,000 of their outstanding railrond debt. The local tax on Bpringfleld and Sangamon County alono for {hia purpose smountod to about §50,000. Tho holders of theso railrond bonds bavo long had some doubta as to whether these cities, countios, and towns would continue to voluntarily tax themeolvos to pay the interost and principal of this enormous dobt; and tho towns and countles intorested have long sought escape from the taxation to meot thorr haatily- contracted and most unremunerstive debts ; £0 thero has been a grand movo along the wholo lino to transfor that tax to the Biate genorally, ;and compol the other counties who owe no such dobts to become the paymasters, Caok County was eapocially rolied upon as affording good pil- lage. Botho ordor waa mado for a full asucss- mont, and the counties which owe this railroad debt have, as a class, made a fair roturn, but for what an inlquitous purpose! A singlo county will illustrato the working of tho job, Last your, tho taxablos in Sangamon County woro sseossod at $12,000,000 ; in 1873, tho assosament i 932,000,000 in 1808, it was $©7,000,000. In Cook County, the sssossment last yoar was €04, 000,000 ; this yeor, £144,000,000, Bupposing tho rate of tax to bo 1 per cent, the rovenues from tho two countlos will be thua apportioned : Cook County tax of 1 or cont..vesssrssers +,$1,440,000 All of which will be paid into tho State Troag- ury. DButwhen the case of Sangamon Counly comos up, it will be thus divided Tax of 1 per cent on $7,000,000 (1808). . 70,000 Wax BI 1 Par cent on $25,000,000 ((ucroase over 1808).40, 0 I eanes 450,000 seseeenininaeesaasans et §920,000 The §70,000 will go into the Btato Trensury, and tho $250,000 will bo patd over to liquidate tho interest and principal of the bonda voted by thot county and it cities and towna In ald of railroads, The doficloncy thus oreated in tha Tovenuo by this diversion oftho State taxoes from its logitimate purpose will iave to be mado good by an fnorease of the rato of taxation on those countiea which have had tho good sense to In- volve themselves in no such overwhelming dobt. Thia -i3 one, reason why tho domand for a full, valuation of taxablo proporty has beon made. But thoro ia anothor. Tho now Constitution prohibits tho lovylng of ‘taixos by conntics for ourront oxponscs to more than 76 conts on oach $100 of taxablo proporty ; and it prolubits the eroation of any debt In ox- cons of G per cout of the taxablo proporty of the coiinty, Theso two most oxcellent provlslons bave destroyod the ocoupation of all that class of loonl politiclans who live by voting away othor people’s monoy, and selllng bonds and oreating debta for othor pooplo to pay. To doublo thio assosament of a county is to give the Bupervisora tho power to rafse 81,50 whoro thoy aro now limited' to 76 conta; it doubles thoir oapacity to apond public money; it also onables them to soll bonds and doublo the present dobts of all thoir countios; to doublo the nsaofs- mont i to rovive the business of public plundor, which the new Conatitution sought to, and did for n time, suppross. Honcg all thess people have boon zealous for a doublo or oven & quadruple assessment, Tho union of tho railrond-aid bondholdors and the politicians of the various countles, to ba relieved of all taxa~ tion to pny theso bonds, and tho thioves who want, incroased rovenues to spond and more ‘bonds to goll, havo combined to have the assoss- meont ralsod. The roturns from Cook County liave disgusted thom, They aro torribly put out that Cook Uounty has not offered to practically assumo the wholo ratlrond-id dobt, 3 Tho remedy for all this, and tho only eafe courso for the Board of Equalization to adopt, is to roturn to tho assessmont of 1872; add & reagonablo porcontsge of incroaso to that, and then adfourn. It is no part of thoir bueiness to holp to pay thoso railrond-aid dobts, or to give Buporvisors a now losse of power to plundor their respective countios, —, COLLECTOR HARPER'S RESPONSIBILITY, ‘Wo commontod yosterday upon the trouble Into which Postmaater Filloy, of St. Tiouis, has fallon by roason of assossmonts lovied upon his clorks and edrriors to folmburso himself for ox- ponses incurred, aa he says, in nnmfln.lulnk the Presidont.” Now it appesra that tho origin of Oolloctor’ Harpor'a embarrassments, which lod to his subsequont defalcations, must also bo ro- torrod to tho nssossment syatom, The differ- ©onco botweon the two caros is, that while the St. Louls Postmastor lovied his assensmont to cover tho exponses of the porsonal entortainment of the Prosident, tho Bpringfleld Collector lovied his in tho firet instance to holp oloct tho regular tickot; and that whilo the formor levied upon tho salarios of his om- ployes, tho Iatter lovied diroctly upon tha Gov~ ornmont funds. Thero ie still auothor differ- enco,—that while tho Postmastoer's lovy was optional, tho Collactor's was compulsory, Bolong a8 this nssessmont systom is recog= nized as logitimate, and is not rogarded as a vio- Intion of tho Civil-Bervico systom, itis a nico question to detormine the oxact measuro of Mr. Harpor's guilt. Porhaps it is this vory dolicacy which has induced the Doputy-Oommissionor of Intornal Revenue to adopt the Star- Chamber style of investigation. From all nc- counts, Mr, Harper was as honcst as men aver- age, and that ho was of an unsuspecting and secommodating disposition is shown by the fact that he gave credit to tho Pooria diatillers for the stamps furnishod thom, instend of demand- ing cash aahie should, That he preforred to bo honest {8 aleo shown by the desperato efforts which ho made through sudden spsculations to rostoro tho doflcit in his accounts. Thoro is littlo doubt, thorefore, that when he made his contribution to tho elec- tion fund Lo thought ho could replace tho smount. But, s has ofton boon tho caso, this firat ombarragsmont only paved tha way for subsequent ones, which led to his ultimato dis- grace. If, howeyer, political offices are matters of bargain and galo; if it is oxpected that the minor office-holder shall contributo to the maintonance of the party which gavo him the offico ; and if it is demanded that the cnudidate for office shall pledgo lumself, eithor tacitly or by agreoment, to such an arrangoment, then Mr. Harpor's rosponsibility is narrowed. To put tho matter on a still broador ground, if tho Admin- istration has tho right to domand that n cortain percentago of the funds due to Governmont om- ployes shall bo got apsrt for campaign ‘purposes, 23 ig done in every gonoral election, or, if it has the right to employ public monoy dirsotly in an oloction, like that in North Carolina Iast fall, wheroin haa Mr. Harpor done wrong in applying public funds to clection purposcs? It the Pres- 1dont of tho United States can put his hands in the Publio Treasury and tako out §76,000 to pay for o lotof campaign documents, na was dono Inst yoar, without incurring any direct ‘ponalty, why should Mr, Harpor be punished for putting his hands into the Public Trossury and taking funds to holp eloct the ticket ? Wo liave no disposition to shield Mr, Harper from the consequouces of his breach of trust. ‘But if justice is to bo done, why not go to tho fountain-head? Is not the system as muoh to blamo as Mr. Harper? As long as the enforcemont of tho Oivil Borvico is a mero quostion of porsonal advantage, and as long a8 the asscssmont system is recognized and sanctioned by party poliey, it is cortain that some ofifce-holdors will turn defaultors and that somo publioc men will betray their trusts, Why not thoreforo stop dofaleation by stopping one of ita causes ? An ounco of provention is worth pound of oure, — MR, BIGELOW'S CENTENNIAY, PLAN, The protost recontly uttered by Mr, John Bigo- low against the projocted exhibition at Philadol- phis, 88’ fitting colobration of the onc-hun- dredth suniversary of American TIndopendence, hea attracted considerable attontion from tho 1act that it was with Mr. Bigelow that tho idoa of o Centennial Celobration originated. In gon-~ eral, Mr. Bigolow's objection to tha Philadelphia Exhibition, a8 an appropriate colobration of tho occasion, is that it i assuming too much of o morcantile and local charactor, We havo hold that it would bo unadvisable to pat any obstacle in the way of tho succoss of tho Puiladelphia Exhibition, for tho reason that it has assumed a mnational importance, and should, thorofore, command the co-opor- ation of all who can contribute to ita grandour and usofulness, Tho local and moer- cantile charactoristics which It is pssuming were necessary cloments of its succoss, . It is ono of thoso undertakinge which require Inrge amounts of monay, and if the oitizons of Philadelphin and Ponnsylvania aro farnishing the great bulk of the mnocessary funds, whioh ap- poasa to Dbo the cano, it i Inovitable that thoy should ondeavor to shapa 1t somowhat 1 tho direction of local interests. 'I'hero is no objootion to thia if it bo done loglti- mately, and it it is rather o contribute some~ thing to the enterpriso than to dotract from it, It ia possible, Lowoyer, that the aolobration of TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, tho one-lundredth anniversary of our nationsl oxistonco may hinve, at the opening of and dur-~ ing tho Exposlilon, ceramonios more distinotly commerorative of the purposo for which the Ex- hibltlon was originally projocted. To thls end, many fontures of ‘Mr., Bigolow's plan may bo adopted without In any maunor Intortoring with thie acopo of tho Exhibition, Among the gouoral recomniondations made by Mr. Bigelow for the colobration wero: 1. Rentoration of the gold standard of . values and ropoal of the law making paper money. & logal-tonder 3 2. A reduction of our indebtedness that would ronder our seouri. tlos equally valusblo with tho bot in the world; 8, An oxtra Fodoral consus, to'bo taken in 1875, 80 88 to bo printed and roady for diatribution in Juno, 1876, All thoso gonoral fenturos, if pro- vided at all, can bo provided just a8 well in con- nection with the Exhibition as without it, and a Momorial Hall such as the Exhibition building will . furnish would bo just the placo for any coromonios that ought to nccom- pany tholr colobration. Thoy aro matters of logislation and patriotium which tho project of n Centonnial Colebration could suggest but not consummate. In addition to these gonoral propositions, Mr, Bigelow's plan included a com- momorative fssue of gold or silvor colns, which i8 usual in all national cclobrations, and which can and ought to be provided for this occasion and kept for sale at tho Exhibition, Ho also suggostod that ono or mors of the eminent poots of Amorioa should bo invited to sing the national farowoell to the doparting contury., This is n fonture which the managors of tho Philadel- phia Exhibition certainly ought to saopt, and also sot aside the proper day for it. Mr. Big- olow's proposition, that overy art bo lald undor contribution for somo appropriate memorial of the excelloncs it shall have attained, will bomore fully realizod, wo think, by moans of the dleplay at tho Exhibition than oven Mr. Bigolow comid have antieipated. e have no doubt that & snm- plo of each exhibited articlo could aléo bo pro- cured for o pormanont contribution to & na- tional musoum to furnish & standard for com- parifon of progress at & elmilar oolebration & contury honoo, Mr. Bigolow's plan furthor included a sories of sltotches of the progross and product of ofviliza~ tion in tho United .Btates. for tho last ono hundred yenrs. This series, nccording to tho cataloguo which ho propared, included tho sub~ Jocts of our postal service ; tolography ; progress of art, industry, and invention; of emigration and tho distribution of emigrants in the United Btates ; of agriculture and the dleappearanco of growing timber; of mining and the dovolop~ mont of mineral woalth ; of milltary and paval progreass ; of manufactures of all kinds; of edu- cation and educational Institutions; of relig fous and occlosinstical institutes; of Bunday- schools; of natural scionces; of woalth and tho financial viciesitudea of the nation; of literature and typography; of tho news- peper ‘prosa; of tho publio chariticn; of tho organization and growth of tho dif- forent Btates; of the Municipal, Btato, and Fod- cral systems of political reprosentation ; an ace count of overything memorable in the various Fourth of July celobrations from the very firat; of political economy ; of law and our syatems of judicial procedure; of our fisheries; of medi~ cine and ita offects on longovity; of commorco and navigation ; of changes in our social condi- tion; of tho sborigines ; and of the climncterio aud motaorological changos of the contury on our Continont. This sories of sketches is the only festure' of Mr. Digelow's original plan which could not well bo ecarriod out by tho management of_the Philadelphis Exbibition ; but even this could bo provided in connection with the Exhibition, If the Society for the Advancemont of Bcionoo and the Amerl- can Socinl- Beionce Association will, under the auspices of & joint comuittoe, organize a serics of lecturos on those, and perhaps still othor subjacts, tho lectures to bo given, one overy night, during the Exhibition, and tho whole to make up a Memorial volume, the foature can bo maado not only practicable, but ono of the most ontortaining and usetul of thoentiro colobration. The skotchos should naturally treat in overy case of the progress made during the century in thia country in the - particular mntter under consideration. Thero is no doubt that tho best talont the country possesses could readily be socured, and suoh & committes ss wo have suggested would be qualified to oxercise a bot- tor disorotion than Government Commissionors in the distribution of subjeots. The mansgers of tho Philadelphia Exhibitlon will do well to tako mensures toward the provision of this fon- ture mg well a8 the othora of Mr. Bigolow's original plan, NOTES AND OPINION.
