Woloh, Stato Treas- arer, has 177 majority. Thoeodoro Tilton, having boon summonod to appear bofore tho Plymouth Church Invoatigat- ing Committee, in tho Beecher-Bowen scandal case, very neatly replies that Lo won't do auy- thing of the kind, a8 ho is not a member of the church, A dificulty occurrod yosterday, at Oave Clty, &y., betweon D. L. Graves, the proprietor of the Mommoth Cave Hotel, and E. Wilcoxeon, an ngent for the Cavo, in which pistols wore drawn by both parties. Mr. Graves recoived a fatal wound, and Mr. Wilcoxeen oscaped unhurt. The bale of cotton contributed by Col, Taylor, of Arkansus, for iho roliof of Momphis, which brought 32,000 at Cincinnati recently, and after- wards 890 at St. Louis, was once more sold at Cincinnati yesterday for £2,080.08, and is now sgain on ita travels of moroy and charity, The prospects are that it will aconmulate a handsome sum before it meots its fiunl destiny in some «cotton-mill. A disastrous conflagration ocourred at Cana- stota, N. Y., on tho New York Contral Railrond, near Utiea, yesterday, which burned over six acres of ground, dostroying throo hotels, thirty- two dwellings, and between forty aud fifty business houses. Tho fire was tho work of an incondiary, Tho loss amounts to £150,000, which, although & comparatively small sum, falls with crushing weight in these times upon the little town. The Young Mon's Obristian Association of thia city have secured the Exposition Building, commoncing Dec. 10, for the purpose of exhibit- ing tho Bazaar of all Nations,—on tho same plan a8 tho Boston Baznar, which was recently so successful in that city, A committen from Bos- ton is alrendy horo to lond its assistancoe in the matter. The superior conveniences and size of the Exposition DBuilding ought to make the Bazasr ovon more attractive thun tho one ox- hibited in Bosto: —— ‘Tho prosumption that the jury in the Puffen- borgor trial was tampered with, inthe interest of the Chicago & Alton Railway Company, after the verdict was signed and sealed, is offset to some extont by the fact that Mr, Corydon Book- with, tho Attorney of the Company, was “around™ socing that evorything wng dunc on the square. Probably nobody at the Bar can purify the moral atmosphere of a court-room mora roedily than Mr, Beokwith, In the charac- ter of an assistant to Charley Reed ko s truly invaluable, A confidence operator litorally captured the Town of Gilman, in this Stato, last week. Inono doy he succoeded in buying up all the live stook in the town and making large contracts ahead, - and on the strongth of thesa operations bor- rowed nearly all the money in the town. Before aight he borrowed a horso and buggy and loft. A shiort timo after his doparture thoro was a lively farmors’ movemont in Gilman, which re- sulted in the capture of tho oporator, Yester- day bo had a trial in tho presenco of Court- House full of viotima, Dorminion Parlismont by the introduction of a resolution by BIr. Maokenzle, the leador of tho Opposition, severely consuring the Governmont n connoction with its action in the Canadian Pacific scandsl. 3Mr. Mackenzlo supported the motion in o long and able speech, which openod a discussion that wilt probably last soveral daya. The motion is vir- tually & motion of want of confidonce, and both parties claim & majority on the test vote. The Opposition hns already shown o dispoition to lundlo both the Royal Commission and tho Governor-Goneral without gloves, and a long and bittor fight may bo ox- pocted. +The Ohicago produce markets wore tama yoa- !'exdny, oud grain was woak, Moss pork was quiet and steady, at $12.00 for now, cgsh, and $12.00@12.10 sollor Docombor.

Cattlo wore quiot and ensy. Blicop met with n limited domand abt un- changod prices. It is announcoed that the Windom Transporta- tion Committeo will soon reach 8t. Louia. Thoy will thon naturally oxtond tholr 1csonrchios fo 8t. Paul, and invostigato thocauses of the suddon domiso of that groat transcontinental artory of commeorce, tho Norihorn Paciflo Railway, of which Mr. Windom is o Diroctor. By pursuing and extorminating the *‘blood-suckora” that fastoned themsolvos upon that promlising entor- priso, thoy may not only rostore it to some sort of vitality, but furnish information rogarding tho art of building railways as valuablo and con- flnn&x{g a8 thot contributed by Onkes Amos, It 1s statod that an attempt will be made to in- duce ‘tho Ropublioan cauous at Washington to provont the appointment to important positiona in tho Houso or on its commlttoes.of any Con- gressmen who have boon concerned in tho Oredit- Mobilier business, or who haye specoulated in land-grant railronds, or have accopted money or prosonts from contractors. This sudden recog- nition of honesty in publiclife is in cvery way commendable, The most satisfactory foaturo in it, howovor, is tho implied confosslon that thoro aro mon in tho Ropublican ranks who have boon guilty of dishonest praotices—a faot which has hitherto been vory strenuously deniod. ‘What with fluctnations of stocks, railrond snarls, and procoedings in bankruptoy, Wall stroot was in a muddlo yostorday., Tho only facts which appoear very cloar aro that Vandorbllt hing succeeded in sottling up the Lake B8horo in- debtedness to tho Union Trust Company ; that petition, based upon vory gravo charges, has beon filed to put tho lattor Company into banlk- ruptey ; and that Judge Blatchford haa' fssued an order that tho Company shall show causo on Nov. 1, Thoe Government, which has on hand about & quartor of o million dollars’ worth of silver, propoges to commonce paying it out immodiately from tho Sub-Tronsurios, in sums, howevor, not oxceeding five dollars upon any chock, tho balance to be paid in papor. The Becrotary of the Trensury also annonnces that in no caso will silvor be exchanged for greenbacks or fractional currency, which is a general reply to many banks which are secking to buy silver. Tho 8t. Louis banks yesterdsy successfully re- sumed currenoy psyments, the deposits being largely in excoss of the amount outdrawn, It in now represented that the process of nnt- uralization followed in the courts is judicial ; that is, that every applicant is naturalized in tho prosonce of the Judgo of the court, and in the form proseribod by law. At the same timo we aro informed that 1,000 porsons, mostly Ger- mans, have beon naturalized within the Iast fow, dnys. If each of these porsons appearod before the Judge with two witnessos, allowlng six minutes to each for being sworn and giving his evidenco, or twelve minutes to ench cnse, thove would have beon roquired 12,000 minutes of o Courl's timo to naturalizo 1,000 porsons, This is equivalont to 200 hours; or, if a Court gave four hiours cach duy to naturalization, it would require fifty days to naturalize 1,000 persons judioially, Weo have no objection to urge against the natural- izntion of any numbor of votors who are entitlod to tho rights of citizonship, thoughitho natural- ization of 1,000 German voters just before clee- tion eannot but bo regarded as suspicions ; but we have the right, and it is certainly our duty, to insiat that all the Judges should admiristor the faw to tho lotto DEATH OF JUDGE FPORTER. Tho announcemont yesterday of the sudden denth of tho Hon., W. A, Porter, Judge of. the Buperior Court, produced a genoral and pro- fouud expression of sorrow and regrot. Judgo Portor was in all the rolations of lifo o most estimablo man. Generous and kind-hearted, Lo was at the samoe time always oalm and collected. Though strong in his conviotions, hie rarcly bo- trayod any enthusinsm or fervor. Whilo at the Dar ho was dignified wnnd courtoous, firm, and resoluto, but always consid- erato and consclentious. In 1867, Lo was chosen to the Bonch, and upon his olection ontored upon an active judiolal life, which Lag been constant and frequently laborious. As o Judge, he maintained with poculiar forco the high character of the Bonoh for dignity, decorum, and porsonal Intogrily, Ho was never wanting in theso rospects,. His lossis a sorious ono to both the Bench and tho Bar of this city, and it will not be ensy to replace him with another combining so mavny storling judielal qualitios, His offleisl term was about expiring, and he bad boen nominated for re-clection, and thore was littlo doubt of his succoss, The oxamplo of Judgo Porter ought not to bo 1odt upon his brethren. His success was duo to tho quict and unostentations manner'in which on all oceaelons ho maintained the decorum of profoesional intercourse and tho honor of the profossion. At tho Bar, he never forgot the ro- speot due to the Boneh, and onthe Banch, by his dignity and falrness, recoived that respoct which, while nt tho Bar, Lio had shown to other Judges. IIe wdn intho batilo with moro brilliant com- potitors by the forco of candor, dignified deport- ment, and consoiontious labor, OOUNTING THE MONEY. "The protenso urged for tho election of Dan O'Hara to tho offico of City Troasuror is that the city funds ought to bo counted. Then why not count them at onco? Wo havo already pointed ont that this can bo dono without incurrlng the rigk of Iutrusting thom for two yonrs to tho Tositwparty, If anybody hns any sorious doubt that the money ia not intaot, it is his duty ns a oltizon to count it now, for whioh wo promiso him full feollitios, If tho money I found to bo all right, ho will admit that it Is in every way moro prudent to confido the clty funds to the kooplug of Mr, Gago, tho presout City Treas- vror, than to the custody of o sot of mon whom tax-payers have no spaciel resgon to trust, and who have cortainly nover demonstrated, ns Mr. Gago has domonstrated, that Le onn not only koop tholr funds safoly, but soouro to thom the intorest theroon. Wo have not the slightost ob- Jeotion to the Heslng party appointing a com- mitteo of their own to count the mouey, on con- dition that thoy do it in the prosenco of a suf- flolent body of police, We do object, however, Flour wan quiot and rather . weak, | to thelr taking two yoars to do it, withont any supervislon or check upon them, whon it can Just as well be done now, The counting of the city funda i not a very diMoult matter, Tho way to proocod is thiat First go to tho Comptroller and nacertain from him how much moncy bolonging to the olty is, or ought to be, in tho hands of tho Tronsuror. Then go to Mr. Gage's offico, whioh is opon during businoss hours, and get from him a list of his doposits in tho varlous banks whers Lo keops tho oity "funds. Thon vislt the banks individuslly and find out whothor thoy have tho soveral amounts of money creditod to his ncoount whioh he ro- ports. Thon roturn fo the Treasuror's oflco and connt tho monoyin tho safo, Add thoso amounts up and soe whether thoy balance with the Comptrollor's statomont, All this is not vory hard to do. An intolligont accountant could do it in n fow hours. Mr. Gago doos not keop a large amount of monoy in his safo. Tho prosent ofico of the City Troasurer would not be o very good place for tho safe-keeping of monoy, oxposed aa it is to fire and robbory. He probobly deposits tho monoy in bank overy day, liko othor businoss mon, The bank-ofMcors oan thorofore, verify or disprove his roported bal- ancos, -If the countors of tho monoy are not satisflod with this, thoy can domand proofs of tho olvenoy of tho banks, and even securo tho gorvices of experts to count over the funds on doposit and throw out any countorfeit bills thora may bo among them, ‘What wo doviro to show is that tho howl about ¢ counting the money" is a flimsy protoxt of the Hesing-O'Hara party, which want to count it in only ono way, viz.: Taking two yoars to do it with the money all in their own hands, and nobody to watch them. Now, tho tax-payors of OChicago are apt to Lo very suspleious of this programme, whon tho 'monoy can just aa woll bo counted boforo elec- tion, and without tho risk of intrusting it to the Hesing poople for two yoars, It is tho duty of the Comptroller nnd the Financo Qommittee of the Common Council to keop an eye on the city funds. Mr. Gago has formally requosted tho Council to count tho monoy, and the mattor has beon roforred to tho TFinance Committee. This Committoo consists of Mossra., Ogden, Bowen, MoAvoy, Bond, and McGouniss,—~some of the best men 1 the Couucil, having large porsonal Intorost in tho safo-keeping of the funda, Mr, MeAvoy, & mombor of the Commit- too for nnumbor of years, and for o time its Ohairman, is thoroughly familiar with city fiuancos. Mo acta in this sloction with the party opposing Mr, Gage, and was prominently mon- tioned as their candidate for Mayor. Cerisinly no man could be selectod to count the money who would suit tho Hosing-O'Hara party botter, if thoy wero earnostly desirous of having it counted now. Moreover, Mr. Gago’s bondsmon, ‘who are rosponsibla for the safo-keoping of tho funds aud sbundantly able to pay any do- ficlonay, aro likely to satisfy thomselves that tho money is all right. But wo repeat that, it thero is anybody who is not satisfied with these safe- gunrds, let him procced as wo have indicated to count the monoy immediately. THE MARCH OF ECLECTICISM, Ay, Btorey yosterdsy annemnced the Iatest of his serios of Eoloctic tiokels. It is mado up from tho tickets alrandy In tho fleld, with the excep- tion of Mayor. This shows that Mr. Btorey's anxioty ¥ concentratod upon that mingle posi- tion, and that Lo is oppressed with tho convie- tion that no man can administer the ofiico in times like theso #o woll na ie. Even though he olasacs My, Brockway with bummers and scaln- wags, yet in the samo articlo he puts his namo on the Eclectio tickot for Clerk of tho County Court. 1fe is willing to sacrifice overy- thing, it is plain, excopt the Mayor's office. All thio other places may ha eolocticizod at the will of yoindividunl votor, but ho cannot abido Mr. Bond, and bo is shocked at the bad Labits of Mr. Colvin. It is plain that ho will not feel that the city is safo unless Wilbur F. Btoroy occupies tho Mayor's chair, Ha shares this sentiment -with that large class of peoplo who linve watched Lis public-spirited carcor for many years past, noted his charitable disposition, admired his do- votfon to the cause of Ohristianity and the gen- eral rectitude of his behaevior. As wo anticipated, Mr. Btoroy's oxcessive modesty bins kept him from boldly plecing his namo at tho head of his ticket. He lLns adopt- od tho more bashful course of mentioning the numes of gontlomen who could not, in all proba- Dbility, be induced to join tho Lcleotic School at this partioular time, He may have had anothor motive,—to bring out by contrast with some of the best citizons of Chicago the greater offul- gonco that attnohes to hia own namo. Fow mon would have dared to challonge this trying test. Mr. Storoy is ono of that clags of mon who don't stop ot trifles, Thus ho brings himeelf in con- trast with such excellent citizons as Mossrs. L, 0. P. Freor, J. H.McVicker, and H. W. King, whom ho mentions in connection with the theory of Eclecticism, for the purposo of dis- closing his suporior fitness. ¢ 1f,” ho says to Limeolf, * the people immediately recognize my moral elovation, my soclal standing, my over- powering popularity at the mere mention of somo of tho best men in the community, then it will not be difficult to lead them to tho concluslon that I am best qualified to govorn this groat city, and protect its social, religious, moral, commorcial, and political wol- fare.” Though this ronsoning bolongs properly to tho Inductive School of Philosophy, Mr. Btoroy's attachment to the Ecloctio prinoiple por- mits him to adopt it, and nobody will question tho cogenoy of its application, All that Mr, Btoroy Lias to do now is to call tho Eclootlcs togother fu o grand mass convon- tion, Tomporary organization: Wilbur T, Btorey, Presidont; Sam Ashton, Vice-Prosldent; Andra Matteson, Bocratary ; * Committes on Pormancnt Organization: Mossrs, Matloson,Ash- ton, and Storey.

Mr. Matteson will thon move to adjourn, Mr. Ashton will socond tho motion, Mr. Storey will put it to vote, and the Eoloctios will dlsporso, sine die, connclous of having conferred an incstimable blossing on tho pooplo of Ohicngo.

Who can doubt the success of such & tickot ? HOW NOT TO GET IT. The logal rato of interest under tho laws of Tilinois is G por cont, but by spectal contract 10 por cont may bo paid snd collected, Whon, therefore, monoy can only get 8 or 7 per cont clsowhere, it flows to Illinois, whoroe it may bo hirod at 10 por cont ; but, when it can command 10 or more per cont clsewhero, it conses to como Iuther, and whatever surplus may be hore will find its way to tho places whoro it can be loaned to'tho best advantage. Duaring tho Inst two yoars,Chicago has enjoycd groat advantage and benefit resulting from tho usury laws of othor Btatos, and tho more liboral provisions of ourlaw, Our citizons have been ablo to borrow all tha money noeded to rebuild the eity, which money has been sent here from otber States whero tho legal rate of interost is low, andbas boen invested horo at 8, 9, and 10 por oent in Iaxgo amoimts, and on #imo to suif the borrowara, During the spring and sum- mer montbs of 1878, thore was an unusual amount of monoy in his city socking invost- ment at from 8 to 10 per cont. No porson hay- ing good scourlty to offer could fail in finding all tho funds Lo needed. Mattors have changed. The advantage we on- joyed in tho legal permiesion to pay 10 per cent iuterost hos beon overcomo by tho groatar rates pormitted elsowhere where tho money happens to bo needed. Much of tho capital sent Lore during tho summor for investmont bas boon taken back, and just at this timo Boston is borrowing it all, and pay- ing a8 high 88 12 por cont, with the very best real eatato seourity, It will bo soen, therofore, that the great ronson why money is no longer obtainable here upon roal estate socurity is, that it is worth moro elsowhero than our law will allow to bo paid for it. Massachusctts has sbolished hor laws limiting the rato of intorest, othorwise known as tho ** usury Iaws,” and now, ‘when money secking investment is in extraor- dinary demand, it naturally flows to the point whore it can obtain tho highest rate for its uso. All tho monoy from Massnchusotts and the other Tustoru Btates which has hitherto boon sent ‘Weat for investmont at 8; 9, or 10 por cent, is now turned into Boston, whoro it may bo hired at 12 per cont, or any other rato which borrowers and londors can agree on, Rhode Island and Oounccticut have many 1millions of dollars invested in this city and State, and wo might have anticipated the continuance ofits flow hither had not Massachusetts ro- moved tho relics of past ignoranco by repenling tho usury laws, thus offering & market in that Stata for all tho capitsl sooking investments in loang on Innded property, Here, then, is a practical illustration of the short-gighted polioy of seeking to placo a limit upon tho rate of interest, It has beon argued that uswy lawa are the poor man's protoction ; that they koop down the rate of intorest, so that when tho poor man wants monoy with which to build a house or improve a farm he can got it at nroasonablo rate, This thieory, however, does not work successfully, Thero has nevor boon, until now, alack of cap- ital in this city, because Chicago has boon al- lowed Lo pay 10 por cent intorest whon tho lnws of Enstorn States genorally limited the rate to 6 or 7 por cont. Now the tablos are turnod. Tho monoy that would commonly be sont hore for invostment at 10 per cont is mow going to Boston, where it can Lo loancd ot 12, Our usury law otops in, and at tho vory moment when the poor man wants tho money moat—to provent him from failing porhaps—prevonts him from getting it at nll, Tho rato of-iutorest for money deponds, ko tho valuo of any othor commodity, on the demand for i, There are mon in this city and alsowhore in Illinola who would gladly pay 13 to 16 por cont intoreat on the best real cstato security, but thoy cannot get it, because tho capitalist, who would willingly lond at that rate, will not inour the penaltios and risks lmposed by our usnry lawa, It ia a doluslon to suppose that tho usury laws oporate to tho sdvantago of the borrower, Tho law has actually ont oft o enlire businoss of the loan agonta of this clty, They can lend no money in Chicago at 10 per cont, because capi- talists aro offored 12 for all they have, on equally good gocurity, in Now Euglaud, If the law of Tinols pormitted, thosp who need money now, wheu the neod i poouliarly pressing and sovero, might meet tholr presont emorgenoy by paving tho rate which mouey s worth, 1tis true that the emorgenoy which makes monoy worth 12 per cont in Boston on bond and mortgage will be of comparatively short duration, but preolsely tho UESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1874, "licans ” and 16 Opposition. - tions. samo ciroumatancos prevail horo; tho difforence’ bolng that Boston, untrammeled by foolish lnwa, oan got the monoy by paying what it {s worth, whilo Olieago, bolng prohibited by law from pay- ing tho mnrket value, must go withont it alto- gothor. The usury law, thoreforo, oporates di- rectly to tho injury and opprossion of thoso who want to borrow it most; it abrolutely prohibits thom from gotting it ac & tima whon a failuro to got it may provo absoluto ruin.
